Chapter 145: Do you believe her?
In the room, the atmosphere was serious, and Jiang Wu stood with a pair of small hands clasped in front of him. It has been a quarter of an hour since he came in, and Yun Rongjue hasn't said a word.
"He saved you that day?" Yun Rongjue asked slowly.
Jiang Wu nodded in response: "Yes." ”
"You've known him before?" Yun Rongjue asked again.
Jiang Wu opened his lips, and when the sentence came to his mouth, he swallowed it again.
Can she say it?
If he said it, he would definitely ask about the relationship between them, if he knew that Brother Shi Yan was also Nanjiang's person, would he still believe her?
"Hmm." She nodded.
Yun Rongjue's lowered eyes slowly raised and looked at the little girl, "You knew each other before?" That Shi Yan is from Qing Zhao, how did you know him? ”
Jiang Wu pursed her lips, although she didn't look up, she could feel the extremely oppressive gaze that the man threw at her.
"Yes...... Before, met on the street. She thought for a moment and said.
Yun Rongjue was silent, and said slowly for a moment, "On the street? On the day did this king meet you? ”
Jiang Wu nodded.
"Look up." The man snorted.
Jiang Wu raised his head obediently.
"Look at this king and say it again."
Jiang Wu looked at Yun Rongjue, his eyes were slightly cold and oppressive, her small hand hanging down to her side was clenched into a fist, and she slowly said Fang Cai's words again.
Yun Rongjue listened quietly. After listening to her, he didn't say anything more and left the room directly.
Night. Yun Rongjue didn't call Jiang Wu over again.
She couldn't figure out what his emotions were.
"Jiang Wu." Hearing a voice outside, Jiang Wu walked out of the house. I saw Yu Lie outside.
"Yu Lie."
Yu Lie took out a waist match from his arms and handed it to her, "Give this back to you." ”
Jiang Wu took it after looking at it.
"Fortunately, you are smart, give me this waist when you bump into me, otherwise Your Highness and I don't know when we will find you." Yu Lie said.
Jiang Wu curled his lips, "Your Highness, is it in Suxue Pavilion?" She couldn't help but ask.
Yu Lie shook his head, "It's in the main house." ”
Jiang Wufan's lips bulged, and he sighed.
"Jiang Wu, what is the relationship between you and the Great Commander of Qing Zhao? Do you know? Yu Lie asked.
Today's scene, Jiang Wu's desperate appearance of protecting that person is really surprising.
Jiang Wu was silent.
Yu Lie was helpless and sighed lightly, "It's not early, you go to bed early." With that, he turned and left.
Jiang Wu watched Yu Lie leave, turned around and walked into the house.
In the main courtyard and main house, the candles are still lit.
"Your Highness, the hour is not early, you should rest early." Yu Lie walked in and persuaded.
"Did she tell you?" Yun Rongjue asked in a loud voice.
Yu Lie pursed his lips helplessly and shook his head, "No, Fang Cai's subordinates also took the opportunity to ask her what her relationship was with the Great Commander of Qingzhao, but...... She didn't say anything. ”
The chess piece held in Yun Rongjue's hand flew out and landed on the carpet without making a sound.
"Your Highness, your subordinates ask more, do you not believe Jiang Wu?" Yu Lie couldn't help but ask.
"Do you believe her?" Yun Rongjue asked rhetorically.
Yu Lie showed a complicated expression on his face, "According to Jiang Wu's usual temperament, she shouldn't be so bold, but she and Qing Zhao's top ten leaders ......"
"You go down first." Yun Rongjue said.
Yu Lie bowed, "Your Highness also rested earlier." He gave a shout and exited the room.
After Yu Lie withdrew, Yun Rongjue's cold eyes flashed with a cold light.
Shi Yan, Jiang Wu......
She told him that they had met him on the street.
But......
He could feel that the way she looked at Shi Yan was not simple, what kind of relationship did they have, so that she could not care about herself so much, and she had to protect him.
The more she doesn't say it, the bigger the problem.
……
Following.
Yun Rongjue left the palace early in the morning and entered the palace to go to court.
Jiang Wu, as usual, cleaned up in the courtyard.
Jiang Sumo saw that her face was not good, and said with relief: "Don't worry too much, if you haven't done something, sooner or later the truth will come out." ”
Jiang Wu tugged at her lips and nodded, "Princess Xie cares, and the slave understands." ”
"Princess, Mrs. Jiang from the Huai Palace's Mansion is here." Winter is coming.
Jiang Sumo frowned, obviously she didn't like this Mrs. Jiang very much, she glanced at Jiang Wu and admonished, "You stay in the backyard, don't come forward." ”
Jiang Wu nodded.
After Jiang Sumo finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the front yard.
It's not the first time Jiang Qiao has come to the Regent's Mansion.
After Yun Feng's death, Yun Zhao, who had been friends with Yun Feng in the past, was implicated, and his position in the court was suppressed by Yun Rongjue, and he was no longer as arrogant as before. After Princess Huai Hong Shi fell seriously ill, her health was not as good as before, and the affairs in this mansion were forced to give up and handed over to Jiang Qiao to deal with.
Jiang Qiao is the only concubine of Yunzhao, and after Hong Shi fell ill, Jiang Qiao was proud.
Jiang Qiao is the master who meets the wind and rudder, and knows the current situation, so he flatters Jiang Sumo very much.
Jiang Wu cleaned up in the backyard, and occasionally heard Jiang Qiao pinching his throat and laughing when he passed by the front hall and back porch.
She didn't know how long Jiang Qiao had been there, and she didn't know when Jiang Qiao left.
Yun Rongjue didn't come back until noon, until the afternoon.
In the afternoon, a few internal officials came to the palace and passed Jiang Wu into the palace, although Jiang Sumo intended to stop it, but this time, the internal officials brought Chu Yin's edict over, although Jiang Sumo had the intention to help, but he couldn't help it. I could only watch the internal officials take Jiang Wu away.
"Is Your Highness still in the palace?" Jiang Sumo asked.
"It should still be there." Whisk said.
Jiang Sumo's face was worried, "If His Highness is here, it should be better." ”
……
Jiang Wu was brought into the palace and brought into the Xuanshu Palace.
In addition to Chu Yin, there are also Yun Rongjue and a number of important officials of the imperial court in the Xuanshu Palace.
Yun Rongjue looked at the little girl who was escorted to the hall, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she turned to look at Chu Yin, who looked calm.
Jiang Wu knelt down and saluted.
Chu Yin looked at her coldly, "You girl, you are so bold, you dare to collude with the people of Qingzhao!" Hurt me Da Liang and lost the treasure land of Lingzhou! What a sin you should be! Chu Yin reprimanded.
"There are no slaves and maids, the Empress Dowager is aware of it." She said.
"You didn't? Previously, the guards searched for letters connected with Qingzhao Kingdom in your place, and when they wanted to take you into the palace for questioning, you were rescued again, and the person who rescued you was afraid that it was Qingzhao people! ”
"The Empress Dowager's conviction is hasty." Yun Rongjue spoke.
"Sloppy? The evidence is all there, but the regent still thinks it's hasty? I don't know how to be not hasty according to the regent? Chu Yin asked.
"The letter can indeed be used as evidence, but whether this letter is true or false, has the Empress Dowager checked it? It would be too easy to be condemned with just one or two letters. Yun Rongjue retorted.
Chu Yin looked at Yun Rongjue coldly, "This girl is from the Regent's Mansion, it is really not easy for her little girl to do such a thing, behind her, there are still people." ”117
As soon as Chu Yin's words came out, everyone's eyes fell on Yun Rongjue.
Chu Yin's words were directed at Yun Rongjue, thinking that Jiang Wu was a person in Yun Rongjue's mansion and was instructed by Yun Rongjue.
"The Empress Dowager thinks that this matter has something to do with this king."
The mourners didn't say that, but ...... Regent, you have a responsibility that you can't escape. Chu Yin said.
"Empress Dowager, this matter has nothing to do with His Royal Highness the Regent!" Jiang Wu heard Chu Yin's accusations against Yun Rongjue, and subconsciously refuted and argued for him.
Chu Yin let out a laugh, "Oh? Are you admitting that you did it? ”
Jiang Wu shook his head and denied, "The slave maid has never done such a thing, the Empress Dowager's slave maid is just a little slave maid, how can the slave maid do such a big thing?" And there is no reason for the slave to do such a thing. ”
Chu Yin snorted coldly after hearing this, "Ordinary servant girls may not be able to do it, but you are the regent's trusted servant girl, and it is not difficult to rely on the regent to do such a thing, as for the reason," Chu Yin raised his eyebrows and looked at Yun Rongjue with a smile, "If the mourning family is not mistaken, your girl was originally a slave, Nan Jiang's person, Nan Jiang was destroyed, you have a grudge against Da Liang, and you want to use the power of Qing Zhao to hit my Da Liang hard." ”
As soon as Chu Yin's words came out, there was a discussion all around, except for Yun Rongjue and them, those people looked at her with resentful suspicion.
"There is no slave and maid, it is true that the slave and maid are from Nanjiang, but if it is determined that the slave and maid are in collusion with the Qingzhao people because the slave and the maid are the queen mother of the Nanjiang people, how many Nanjiang people are in and out of this Daliang Palace, are they all suspected of colluding with Qingzhao?" Jiang Wu is colorful.
Chu Yin was slightly stunned, looking at the little girl who spoke clearly and neatly.
She thought that this little girl was weak and cowardly, but there were times when she was not shocked.
Yun Rongjue looked at the little girl, the little girl subconsciously turned her eyes, the two looked at each other, he lowered his eyes slowly, and said slowly: "The Queen Mother, what this girl said is reasonable, if she is from Nanjiang and becomes her motivation for doing this, then not all Nanjiang people have motives." ”
"This girl is clever and good at quibbling, and in addition to her motives, these notes have ...... Witness," Chu Yin looked at Yun Rongjue, "The regent didn't forget. ”
Jiang Wu heard Chu Yin's words, and was puzzled for a while, "Human witness? What is a witness? ”
Yun Rongjue's face was slightly gloomy.
"Jiang Wu, since you said that you are innocent, the mourning family found these creeds in your room when they asked people to thoroughly investigate the regent's mansion, and wanted to bring you into the palace for questioning, why did it happen that someone rescued you, who rescued you, you can tell me." Chu Yin pressed forward step by step.
Jiang Wu opened his lips and was speechless.
She can't say Shi Yan, Shi Yan is the commander of Qing Zhao, and this statement makes her crime even more unclear.
"Why don't you speak?" Chu Yin said coldly, "You have seen it, the facts are in front of you, and this girl can't explain a reason, such a traitor, I will never allow it to exist, and there will be ...... people."
"Wait."
Suddenly, a voice interrupted Chu Yin's voice.
In the next moment, I saw a man dressed in gray and walking lightly into the main hall.
Jiang Wu was slightly stunned, and Yun Rongjue's eyes were calm.
"Wechen see the Empress Dowager."
Chu Yin looked at the person with a cold face, "Why is Lord Qin here?" ”
Qin Xiangyou smiled, his smile was a little inconsistent in this serious hall, but he had always been this temperament, and several old ministers around him were used to knowing his temperament, but they didn't care too much.
"Hearing that this hall is lively today, Weichen couldn't help but come to see what was going on."
"Lord Qin, today is a prisoner, if Lord Qin wants to hear it, it doesn't hurt to stay, if you don't want to, Lord Qin should leave, don't disturb the interrogation." Chu Yin said.
Qin Xiangyou blinked his eyes and looked at the little girl kneeling beside him, "It turned out to be a little girl, the prisoner the Empress Dowager said was her?" ”
"That's right."
Qin Xiangyou patted his head, "Weichen remembered, this girl was the one who said that the Queen Mother had colluded with the people of Qingzhao State before, and caused me to lose the state of Daliang, right?" ”
"It's good that Lord Qin knows, this girl colluded with the Qingzhao people, and escaped under the protection of the Qingzhao people afterwards, the crime is extremely heinous, and the crime is unforgivable." Chu Yin screamed.
Qin Xiangyou raised his eyebrows, "Escape? When did this girl run away with Qingzhao? ”
Facing Qin Xiangyou's pretending to be stupid, Chu Yin rolled his eyes, "Lord Qin, don't make trouble here, didn't Lord Qin know about this girl who was wanted all over the city at the beginning." ”
Qin Xiangyou slapped his head again, "This empress dowager has misunderstood, it was Weichen who rescued this girl that day." ”
As soon as Qin Xiangyou's words came out, everyone was surprised.
Even Jiang Wu looked at Qin Xiangyou in surprise, she was obviously taken away by Brother Shiyan, why did Qin Xiangyou say that?
"You?" Chu Yin frowned, "Lord Qin is not confused. ”
"Eh, the Queen Mother, although Wechen is older, his mind is still clear, and it was Wechen who rescued this girl that day." Qin Xiangyou said.
"Lord Qin, why did you want to save this girl?" One of the ministers asked.
"Yes, Lord Qin, don't you know that this girl is from the mourning family to bring back for questioning?!" Chu Yin took advantage of the situation.
Qin Xiangyou sighed, "The Empress Dowager, Wechen also wants to figure it out, the Empress Dowager was angry at that time, Wechen is not afraid that the Empress Dowager will be angry for a while, and make a wrong judgment, if you wronged this girl, it will not be good, besides, a few guards in the Regent's Mansion that day, tsk...... All of them look fierce and vicious, and it looks like they are going to bring people back for questioning, but they are more like convicting people and putting them in prison for execution. Wei Chen was not in a hurry, so he couldn't help but make a move. ”
Chu Yin looked at Qin Xiangyou and pursed his lips, he was angry and helpless at this person.
Qin Xiangyou is an old minister, and he has a friendship with Yunlou that is not a monarch or a minister. Although Qin Xiangyou's official position is not the largest, few ministers in this court dare to offend him, and he is also the most free and uninhibited of these ministers.
"Lord Qin said that he wanted to figure things out, but I don't know, did Lord Qin figure it out?" Manage the opening.
Qin Xiangyou pursed his lips and shook his head, "Lord Guan, if Qin Mou figures it out, what is the matter with this class today!" ”
"Since Lord Qin hasn't figured it out, it's better not to interfere more, the Empress Dowager is already investigating this matter, and there is evidence." Guan Yue said.
"Evidence? Just those creeds? Qin Xiangyou's eyes widened, "It's too easy for this letter to be framed and blamed, I imitate her handwriting and stuff it next to her, what kind of evidence is this." ”
"There is not only this physical evidence, but also human evidence, and there are people in the Regent's Mansion who have confessed." Guan Yue continued.
"Confessed? Who? Who gave the account? Let him out. Qin Xiangyou said.
Chu Yin and Guan Yue glanced at each other, and Chu Yin said: "That person took the initiative to report it, it is a merit, such a righteous person, the mourning family naturally wants to protect him." ”
Qin Xiangyou smiled, "The Empress Dowager, saying that there are witnesses, but she doesn't want witnesses to show up, this is really difficult to convince the public, this matter, although there is some so-called evidence, but the evidence is still insufficient, the Empress Dowager convicted this girl so early, is it too arbitrary, but more like convicting people for the sake of convicting people." ”
Qin Xiangyou has always been bold, and only he dares to say this without scruples.
"Lord Qin, when you speak, you must pay attention to proportion! The mourning family is the queen mother! Chu Yin bit his lip and teeth and said word by word.
"Is the Empress Dowager angry?" Yun Rongjue spoke.
"Regent!"
"What Lord Qin said is reasonable, since there are still doubts in the matter of the Empress Dowager, it should be investigated again, instead of making hasty conclusions." Yun Rongjue continued.
"The regent is right, it should be investigated again." Qin Xiangyou echoed.
Yun Rongjue and Qin Xiangyou sang and harmonized like this, and the courtiers around them had a lot of muttering and talking, and there were more and more voices in favor of continuing the investigation.
Due to the discussion of the ministers, Chu Yin had to temporarily compromise and agreed to continue the investigation.
But she only gave Yun Rongjue ten days.
"Slave and maid, Lord Xie Qin will help you today." After leaving the palace, Jiang Wu thanked Qin Xiangyi.
Qin Xiangyou smiled, "It's a trivial matter," he looked at Yun Rongjue after he finished speaking, "Jue'er, you have to hurry up in this matter." ”
Yun Rongjue responded with a deep sigh.
After leaving the palace, the three of them went their separate ways, and Jiang Wu followed Yun Rongjue back to the palace.
Jiang Sumo was relieved to see that Jiang Wu had come back safe and sound.
Yun Rongjue's attitude towards Jiang Wu has always been cold and indifferent.
After nightfall, she was summoned to serve, and the conversation between Yun Rongjue and her did not exceed three or two sentences.
He pressed her, kissing like a plunder, and his clasped wrist flashed red.
After dawn, Jiang Wu didn't see him anymore. Hearing from others, Yun Rongjue left early in the morning.
……
For a few days in a row, Yun Rongjue's time in the palace was numbered.
Ten days is not a long time, Jiang Wu has been trying to collect evidence to prove her innocence, but her ability is really limited, and she has no clue about it after ten days.
"Don't worry too much, what you haven't done, you can always prove yourself, Your Highness is afraid that you have been busy for your business these days, I believe Your Highness will find evidence to prove your innocence." Jiang Sumo saw that she was worried, and persuaded with relief.
Jiang Wu took a deep breath and nodded, "The slave understands, thank you princess." ”
Jiang Sumo chuckled, "By the way, I want to embroider a pillow towel, this thread is a little unwrapped, you can help me take a look." Jiang Sumo handed the needlework sample to Jiang Wu.
After Jiang Wu took it and looked at it, he sorted out Jiang Sumo's messy lines.
"Princess, Mrs. Jiang is here, I want to see you." Whisk Winter walked in and said.
Jiang Wu made a move, and Jiang Sumo also frowned, "That's it, please ask Mrs. Jiang to come in." ”
Fu Dong's chin retreated, Jiang Wu's eyes wandered, and Jiang Sumo saw it and said: "If you don't go down first, we'll get this embroidery pattern later." ”
Jiang Wu bowed her head, but she had just put down the embroidery, and before she walked out of Suxue Pavilion, Jiang Qiao had already walked in with Fu Dong.
