Chapter 52: The Hairpin Turmoil

At the gate of Kunning Palace, a group of palace maids knelt together, and in the door, a wisteria eight-immortal chair was placed in the middle, and Queen Nan Suli was sitting on it, holding a big white cat in her arms, and her right hand was running its fur for a while.

Behind Nam Su Li, sat two princesses.

Princess Kangping's face was flat and expressionless, as if everything in front of her had nothing to do with her.

Princess Fu'an brought rain with pear blossoms, and the handkerchief never left her cheeks, and she didn't know the inside story and thought she had been greatly wronged.

As soon as something happened, Teng Zinan asked Bai Que to invite Huantong to come, and when Huantong arrived at Huakun Palace, he happened to meet the queen mother who was wielding, so he simply stood not far away to watch the excitement.

"Who is in charge of the hairpin flower used by Kangping Gong today." Nan Suli's voice was a little lazy, and the person just leaned on the back of the chair casually, not loudly and harshly, but not angry and arrogant.

In a palace maid, a thin figure shook for a moment, and then a weak voice spread from her direction: "Queen Hui, it's a slave." ”

Nan Suli only glanced up, and there was no joy or anger on her face, and then it was still that kind of angry voice.

"Where's the hairpin?"

"The queen mother is aware that the slave maid did not dare to open the tray to take a look, and the tray has never left the slave's sight when it reaches the slave maid's hand.

The little maid buried her head on the ground, looking frightened, but a frightened maid turned out to be so clear that she was blaming others.

The onlookers of Huantong are clear, this maid was arranged by someone, and they can see it at a glance. But those who entered the game are now thinking about how to protect themselves, and they can still take care of analyzing her confession.

"Oh, who sent this hairpin?" Nan Suli didn't seem to care about this matter, and asked how others guided her.

Without waiting for the person to admit it in person, the little palace maid just now couldn't hold her breath, "Back to the queen's mother, it's Princess Kangping's maid Cui'er." ”

"Cui'er, it's not out yet." The painting fan next to the queen who opened this time was more violent, and the atmosphere became much more tense.

Huantong, who was standing on the side, was nervous, originally watching the excitement, but he didn't want this fire to burn into Ah Yan, and suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Even Teng Ziyan, who was downbeat about everything, couldn't help frowning at this time, watching the usually inconspicuous little girl walk in front of the queen and kneel on the ground.

Even though it was on her side, she couldn't recall any information about this Cui'er.

Cui'er looked more calm, and after kneeling down in a proper manner, she slowly spoke without waiting for the queen to ask, "Queen Mother, the slave maid suddenly felt unwell on the road, and happened to meet a girl, who had to help me take it for a while so that I could go to the toilet with peace of mind, who knew that she was actually stealing hairpins." ”

"You say you met a girl, but you can't tell who that girl is, how convincing is that." The fan held his throat, and his tone revealed disdain.

Cui'er was still unhurried, and accurately turned in the direction where Phantom Tong was, pointing towards An Xiruo, "It's the girl behind that son." ”

Everyone's eyes followed the direction of Cui'er's finger and fell on An Xiruo, and even Huantong couldn't help but glance back.

Phantom Tong naturally didn't believe that An Xiruo would steal the hairpin, but no matter how you think about it, this matter shouldn't have anything to do with An Xiruo, and suddenly all the fingers pointed at her, and Phantom Tong was also full of doubts.

The two looked at each other, and An Xiruo saw Huantong's incomprehension, but she couldn't be it, but An Xiruo still bowed her head lightly and comforted Huantong that she could handle it.

Just when everyone was puzzled, Princess Fuyan was unexpectedly the first to speak.

"You little girl, how can you wronged people casually, that is the maid led by Situ Shen, how could you steal that hairpin."

The princess, who had been sobbing, was already articulate at this time, and her words were extremely smooth.

Originally, Phantom Tong, who was still confused, also had an estimate in his heart after listening to it, and looked at Princess Fu'an, who was still hiding her face with a pa, and only felt that the harem was really a place of deep scheming.

Cui'er was forced to ask by Princess Fu'an, but she didn't panic, and continued to state in an orderly manner: "When I handed over the tray to that girl, there was also a palace maid passing by, if the princess didn't believe it, she would know if the slave was lying." ”

"Did any of you see it?"

Several palace maids kneeling in the crowd nodded, which confirmed Cui'er's words.

"An Xiruo, let's talk about it." Nan Suli seemed to suddenly become interested, straightened up, and was ready to listen.

An Xiruo already understood at this time that she had become a scapegoat, and Cui'er begged herself to help her look at the tray, but now she had to help.

Staying in the barracks all year round, An Xiruo can be said to be very disgusted with the intrigue of the harem, but when it comes to coping, she is still good at it.

With everyone watching, she walked in front of the queen.

"Niangniang, princess, it was only decided this morning to enter the palace with a ginseng, and there is little intersection between the palace and the palace, and it is impossible to plan in advance to steal hairpins."

After that, An Xiruo looked around, observed everyone's expressions, and found that everyone recognized before continuing.

"If it is said that it is a spur of the moment, the plate has been covered with cloth, and I can't see what is hidden there from a distance, even if I know that it is a hairpin, I don't need to take the risk of stealing things in the palace."

"Naturally, you want to exonerate yourself, but that tray has only been touched by the three of us, and you are naturally the most suspicious outsider." Cui'er knelt beside An Xiruo about this, and she was also full of hostility towards An Xiruo.

The body is not afraid of the shadow, in the face of this groundless suspicion, An Xiruo is naturally not nervous, and opens his arms generously.

"The queen can send someone to search my body, and if I can't find anything, I can prove my innocence."

Nan Suli gave the fan a look, and the fan understood what the master meant, and personally stepped forward to search An Xiruo.

After carefully examining it from head to toe, the fan shook his head at the queen.

"It seems that this hairpin was not stolen by An Xiruo, then it was taken by Cui'er." As he spoke, he leaned back in his chair again, as if he was bored again.

Cui'er felt scared at this time, and even panicked a little, "If you don't have it on you, you may have hidden it." ”

"Xiaoxi has been with me since he came back, do you think this staff leader is also involved in stealing hairpins?" Phantom Tong was a little angry, and his voice was very low, which was more intimidating than a woman's voice.

Hearing the sound, Cui'er was agitated, burying her head and not daring to pant loudly.

Phantom Tong is very incomprehensible, could it be that Teng Zinan invited him into the palace, just slandering him?

Just thinking about Teng Zinan, I saw her suddenly stand up and point at Cui'er with emotion.

"You are so bold, Situ Gongzi is a distinguished guest I invited, and you actually framed him."

An even more dramatic scene happened, Cui'er, who had just bitten An Xiruo and stole hairpins, suddenly changed her attitude and took the initiative to admit her guilt.

The confession was not over, and without waiting for the queen to ask, she poured beans and told the truth of the matter.

"It was Princess Kangping who asked me to steal it, and the princess didn't want to see Princess Fu'an's ceremony go perfectly, so she specially arranged for me to steal the hairpin, so that Princess Fu'an could not get the blessing. The slave maid is not voluntary, and I hope that the queen mother and Princess Fu'an will forgive. ”

"Cui'er, don't talk about it there, when did the princess do those things." Xia Zhu was even more excited than Teng Ziyan, if someone hadn't stopped her, she would have rushed up to tear Cui'er's mouth.
