"Back to the emperor, it was Zhaoyi Niangniang who took it from your Chun Nuan Pavilion!"

Xuan Ling nodded and asked his father-in-law coldly.

"You know about this?"

Father-in-law Tong knelt down and said, "The small ones don't care, the things in the Chunnuan Pavilion are not enough to make up for them, and the small ones will be asked to check to see if there is anything missing." He knew in his heart that Lin Zhaoyi would take a few of the things in Chun Nuan Pavilion every time he went, usually he opened his eyes and closed his eyes, and when Lin Zhaoyi was favored, he never dared to mention it.

At this time, a eunuch crawled out and cried and mourned: "The emperor spares his life, the emperor spares his life, the little one is willing to confess everything, and only asks the emperor to spare his life!" ”

Yue'er saw that it was Jin Cai who crawled out, and snorted coldly in her heart.

Lin Zhaoyi said angrily: "Jin Cai, what nonsense are you going to say!" ”

Jin Cai's tears and snot flowed together.

"Niangniang, the little one is going to make a real move, and the little one doesn't dare to lie in front of the emperor!"

Lin Zhaoyi's face turned pale suddenly, and she looked at Xuan Ling with resentment.

"Your Majesty, are you doing this to me for this ugly woman?"

Xuan Ling didn't want to pay attention to Lin Zhaoyi at all, and he said to Jin Cai: "Say-"

Jin Cai kowtowed again and again.

"Yes, yes, yesterday evening, Zhaoyi Niangniang took five hundred taels of silver to me, and asked the little one to go to see the Yongjing Inner Supervisor in the imperial dining room, and ask him to go out of the palace in person and send a message out."

"What message?"

"The message is, do what you want, do it right away!"

"Is this message a fire to be set on fire?"

"The villain should die, the villain should die, the villain did guess what the mother was going to do, but the villain did not dissuade him!"

Xuan Ling said to a guard: "Come on, go and bring Yongjing to me!" ”

"Yes—"

The guard galloped away.

Lin Zhaoyi screamed, slammed into Jin Cai's side, and grabbed his face with both hands as sharp claws, she was already crazy at this time.

"You dog minion, even you want to frame this palace!"

Jin Cai resisted hard, and the two actually twisted together.

"Niangniang, you, you just admit it, paper can't contain fire!"

"It's obviously your idea, you want me to admit it, dream!"

Jin Cai's face was torn, and Lin Zhaoyi's hair was scattered.

At this moment, everyone knew that Lin Zhaoyi's plan to frame Concubine Duan was not clever, as long as Xuan Ling dug a little deeper, she would be full of flaws.

With a wave of his hand, several guards rushed forward and separated the two.

"Who is that message for?"

Jin Cai gasped.

"It's the Tong Wei who brought it to the Imperial Painting Academy, that Tong Huan, she is the personal palace maid of Zhaoyi Niangniang, and now she is working in the Imperial Painting Academy!"

Xuan Ling pointed at Lin Zhaoyi and exclaimed, "You, you actually installed eyeliner in the Imperial Painting Academy?" ”

Lin Zhaoyi was pressed by two guards, she raised her head when she heard the words and laughed wildly: "Yes, Your Majesty, the powerful lady in the palace, who doesn't have her own eyeliner, the queen is not the same as placing people next to the concubines, Banyue, you dare to say that you are not the queen's person!" ”

Half Moon is the first palace maid to explain.

Xuan Ling was furious, raised his palm and pulled it down.

With a crisp slap, Lin Zhaoyi was beaten and her body was crooked, blood and a tooth spurted out of her mouth, and she was immediately stunned.

"You, you woman, actually for your own selfishness, destroyed my peerless paintings for thousands of years, these paintings, each one is a rare heirloom, each one is a priceless treasure, you know what you have done!"

Lin Zhaoyi cried bitterly.

"Your Majesty, it wasn't the concubines who did it, really not, they are all framing me-"

"Okay, good, you still don't admit it!"

At this time, several guards dragged two eunuchs to the door.

"Emperor Qi, Yongjing brings!"

"Bring it here!"

"Yes—"

The guards dragged the two eunuchs in front of them, and Yue'er saw that one of them was a chubby middle-aged eunuch, and the other was actually Niu Tao.

The two knelt in front of Xuan Ling, trembling like chaff.

"Emperor Qiqi, it was these two people who temporarily asked to leave the palace yesterday afternoon, so the subordinates were arrested together!"

"Good."

Xuan Ling praised and shouted to the middle-aged eunuch: "Yongjing, you actually found an excuse to go out of the palace to deliver a letter for Lin Zhaoyi, so bold!" ”

Yongjing trembled, couldn't stop kowtowing, and said: "The little one should be damned, it was the mother who gave the little one five hundred taels of silver, and the little one was blinded by the money, so she ran errands, I really don't know what happened." ”

Xuan Ling kicked over and kicked Yongjing's head.

"What's the matter, she ordered someone to set fire to my Tibetan Painting Pavilion!"

When Yongjing heard this, he immediately collapsed to the ground in fright, Xuan Ling is fond of painting, and he will definitely lose his life if he helps Lin Zhaoyi do this!

Sure enough, Xuan Ling pointed at Yongjing, Jin Cai and the others and shouted: "Come on, drag these rebel animals out, beat them to death with sticks, and kill them all!" ”

Jin Cai cried: "The emperor spares his life, the emperor spares his life, you just said that as long as you confess to the behind-the-scenes instructions, who will be spared death, you can't break your word!" ”

Xuan Ling was stunned, he had just said such a thing, but if he wanted to spare these people, he really couldn't bear it.

Lin Zhaoyi laughed miserably: "Jin Cai, you yourself are the mastermind behind the scenes, aren't these all your ideas, who doesn't know that you are my brainchild, it is too cheap for the emperor to kill you, you should be chopped alive!" ”

When Xuan Ling heard this, he sneered and said: "Yes, I just said, whoever confesses first behind the scenes will be spared death, but it is not you who confess first, someone will drag this guy out and chop him alive, for three days in a row, and he must not die early!" ”

When Jin heard this order, he almost fainted.

Niu Tao didn't understand what was going on at this time, but he knew that he was going to be killed, so he couldn't help but shout: "The villain is wronged, the villain is wronged, the villain just followed Lord Yongjing out of the palace once, and he doesn't know anything else!" He saw Yue'er standing behind Xuan Ling, and couldn't help but cast a pleading glance at her.

Yue'er also felt that Niu Tao was innocent, and Niu Tao was very useful to herself, so she pleaded with Xuan Ling: "Your Majesty, slow down, please don't be impatient, the concubine thinks that this case has not yet been investigated, and she will be punished immediately, for fear of wronging a good person, it is better to hand it over to the Zongzheng Mansion to find out the culpability, and then deal with it according to law." ”

Xuan Lingqi does not fight in one place.

"Wronged good people, which of them is a good person?"

"Your Majesty, Yongjing went to spread the message, he will inevitably be suspected when he goes out of the palace alone, and taking a subordinate out will be used to hide people's eyes and ears, please Your Majesty will be aware of it."

Xuan Ling thought for a moment and finally nodded.

"Okay, this matter will be handed over to Zongzheng Mansion for thorough investigation, from this moment on, Lin Zhaoyi will abolish Zhaoyi's identity, and the rest of the relevant people will be handed over to Zongzheng Mansion, and they will be severely punished after verification!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Xuan Ling looked at Lin Zhaoyi, his eyes were cold, and he had no pity.

"I finally ask you, did you do this?"

Lin Zhaoyi slowly raised her head and nodded desperately.

"Well, until now, the concubine will not hide it, this matter was done by the concubine."

"Hmph, it's really you, the maid of the Imperial Painting Academy?"

"She, she should have fled back to her hometown in Mengzhou early this morning."

"Why did you set up this plan, is it to deal with Concubine Duan, what kind of grudge does she have with you?"

"She, she has been fighting against me, the concubine invited her to drink, she just didn't drink, that day at Jing Guiyi's small gathering, she refuted my face."

"You're going to hurt her because of this?"

Lin Zhaoyi nodded.

"At that time, I hated together, and I just wanted to punish it severely, but I didn't expect that the fire of the Imperial Painting Academy could not be controlled at all, which was all Tingting's fault."

The case was also clarified, Lin Zhaoyi also pleaded guilty, Xuan Ling felt that his body was a little prostration, and he wanted to rest.

At this time, Jin Cai crawled out of two steps and said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this woman is talking nonsense, she wanted to harm Concubine Duan early in the morning, Xiaoxue that day, she asked someone to throw Concubine Duan into the ditch with a royal chariot, and as a result, she fell to death a petty official who carried a chariot, and she also harmed others, many methods are very vicious, the small one must tell Zongzheng Mansion, just ask the emperor for mercy!" ”

Xuan Ling sighed and looked at Yue'er.

"Is that the case?"

Yue'er nodded.

"And to whom did you tell you?"

"No, the concubine has no evidence, so she can only be more careful, but I didn't expect Lin Zhaoyi to still refuse to let me go, and she had to put me to death."

Jin Cai looked at Yue'er, and suddenly there was a glint in his eyes.
