Chapter 133 Serving in vain
In this case, Liu Yanxin was also stunned, and when she thought about it later, Concubine Shu's plan was debunked many times, even if Qin Huai and the others were stupid, they could connect and suspect her, in order to leave a way out for themselves, these should have been prepared a long time ago.
It's just that it can't be ruled out that she deliberately wants to step into the trap today, just to embarrass Mu Guanqing.
And this matter alone is not enough for her and Mu Guanqing to deter Concubine Shu.
From the time he talked about the hundred pomegranate hairpins, the thoughts of everyone present had been brought over, and they thought that there would be something greasy in it, but it wasn't until Concubine Shu actually took it out of her sleeve that it was generally clear.
Seeing that Mu Wanqing's face changed instantly, Concubine Shu seized the opportunity that she didn't react and fought back.
"I'm curious, the female official is already responsible for the safety of this hunting ground, and even more so for the security of Xunyang. But not only did he let outsiders in because of negligence, but he also connived at men outside the palace to trespass around until he met the palace. Not to mention that the princess's mansion has been in distress twice or three times, isn't this all a female official's dereliction of duty? β
Sure enough, the silence before was pretended, just to make everyone think that she was in danger, so that Mu Guanqing could relax her vigilance, until it came to this pomegranate hairpin, this was a good time for her to be anti-guest.
Although it was put on the table, no one can be proud.
"Twice, three times?"
Mu Guanqing repeated Concubine Shu's wording and suddenly smiled.
"Because Princess Qin Huai was in an embarrassing situation before, in order to prevent the people of Tianyu from being deceived by rumors, the matters related to the princess's mansion were never written and not explained to the outside world. Besides, the princess's mansion has its own officials to deal with every detail, and many things are not known to the officials above the second grade of my Dali Temple. β
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but think about it, but it seemed that Qin Huai had been at the top of the Tianyu gossip list since he left the Three Princes' Mansion, and even if he didn't want to know, he would always hear some rumors.
"There are two such things, and this kind of speculation is also a violation of national law."
She barely reacted, and the words came out of her mouth.
But she forgot, full of people up and down, how could anyone dare to talk to Mu Guanqing and not understand their brains.
"Lady Niang, you are wrong again."
This time, Mu Guanqing took back the right to speak after a moment of showing off to Concubine Shu.
"In situations of extreme stress, it's easy to be fooled by small tips from outsiders. In fact, this theft case was only reported by me when I entered the palace gate the night before. In other cases, even if you are in the palace, you should have heard a lot of rumors. β
Realizing that she was being played, Concubine Shu stopped kneeling, and stood up at once, staring at the queen with burning eyes.
"It turns out that the female official has been prepared for a long time, and she wants to lead the palace into the urn, no wonder everything the palace says is wrong. You are really a loyal and good dog, don't think about it so simple to cooperate with the queen to destroy the mouth of the palace! You are a vain man! β
As soon as this remark came out, the audience was in an uproar.
The queen's eyes widened, eager to take out her heart to prove it.
"It's just nonsense, as the queen, this palace wants to be sympathetic to the harem concubines, in the eyes of the concubines, this palace is such a person?"
Whether it is or not, Mu Guanqing's words are not finished yet.
"Concubine Shu, you don't have to bite the queen so quickly, the lower official has other evidence that he hasn't brought up."
Mu Guanqing would never do anything unprepared.
Since she has made up her mind to take down Concubine Shu in one fell swoop, it is impossible for her to come out and show off just a few words.
"The second lady of Xu Jiyuan, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, died tragically, just because someone saw that she had rubbed shoulders with the princess at the door of Wenren Smile Pavilion, Xu Shilang took the secretary of my Dali Temple to the princess's mansion to ask for the guilt. Xu Shilang's wife died at the hands of a master of internal strength, and after investigation, the lower officials found a fine work named Ruoqian from the princess's mansion."
This incident caused a sensation in Xunyang City before, and together with the officials of the DPRK and China, they also heard a lot of news, but not only because His Majesty was indifferent, but also because Mu Guanqing had already begun to investigate this matter, and they did not dare to say anything in the court.
Although the matter is suppressed, it doesn't mean that the female official's ability can't investigate the truth.
"Maybe when it comes to this, Concubine Shu Niangniang can still pretend that she doesn't understand, then the lower official will scrutinize it for you."
Seeing that His Majesty also began to show a puzzled look, Mu Guanqing simply gave it all up.
"The waiter of the Ministry of Rites is not a big official, how can he dispatch the Dali Temple Si Zhi to break into the princess's mansion to take people because there is no evidence. And a small work, why do you want to kill Xu Shilang's wife to blame? It is impossible to say that they did not collude, and it is impossible to say that they did not have the help of high positions. β
Not to mention the courtiers, even His Majesty Qin Ying knows about this matter, but he has been busy with government affairs recently, and he has been handed over to Mu Guanqing for investigation, and he has been delaying for half a month before saying it today.
It is enough to see how much effort she has secretly put into investigating Concubine Shu.
"Xia Guan learned from the interrogation of Xizuo Ruoqian that it was the mother in the harem who instructed her to do this, and Xu Jiyuan has always been an enemy of the princess on the surface, but it can be just a trivial matter. If he really had such ability, he would not have waited until now......"
If Xu Jiyuan hadn't been for this incident, it would probably have been just a minor official among the court officials who was unknown and moody, and was not taken care of.
He is well-known to the people of Xunyang because of this incident, and as the saying goes: Get promoted and get rich and die your wife.
Since the death of the second lady, he not only has real power in the Ministry of Rites, but also heard of him in the other five ministries, and even made a windfall overnight and changed the mansion.
It really made many colleagues jealous.
"So Xiaguan asked people to take advantage of the convenience of Dali Temple to investigate Xu Jiyuan ten years ago, and finally found evidence that Concubine Shuniang corresponded with him."
This point is indeed the news that Pu Chenming told Qin Huai on the condition that Qin Huai went to the Ming and Qing Dynasties to tell the story.
As soon as the words fell, Qing Chi stepped forward with this stack of letters, looking at the traces of destruction on the letters, the person who got him either had a fierce inner struggle, or the excitement of revenge.
I thought that there would be no stories of those officials secretly having a private relationship with the concubine in this dynasty, but I didn't expect it to be the concubine, I am afraid that the concubine is also in the catastrophe.
"What evidence do you have to say that this palace corresponded with Xu Shilang!"
Qin Huai arrived with Pu Chenming at this time, but he didn't expect to encounter such a scene.
Seeing the man who was tied up, and Mu Guanqing, who was discerning with Concubine Shu, she knew that the plan had taken effect.
Liu Yanxin pulled her over as soon as possible, and without seeing Qin Yue's figure, she knew the outcome of this matter.
Also secretly proud is Qing Bohou, who said that marrying Xijin is a bad thing, he saw such a royal infighting today, and successfully got into a relationship with the Xijin royal family, and it was too late to be happy.
The evidence was handed to His Majesty and the Empress, and they read through them one by one and learned what was in their hearts.
Mu Guanqing stood up straight, the crimson official uniform under the gray cover shining a little dazzlingly under the scorching sun.
The queen is not worried about today's ending, so she also has full patience to watch the process.
"Indeed, there is not a word in my heart that mentions you, Concubine Niangniang, but ...... This messenger has nothing to do with you. β
Soon, someone pressed a woman in purple up.
Not only Concubine Shu, but even Qin Huai didn't expect it.
This woman Qin Huai has seen it!
In the Wanjin pawnshop, the woman who met Qin Huai and was troubled.
"As we all know, you were originally a dancing girl raised by Yinggui's mother, and you were lonely and helpless, but after you were elected as a concubine, you didn't give up looking for your parents for a day."
Pulled out of her humiliating birth again, and heard that woman's name again!
Concubine Shu gritted her teeth, hating to tear apart everyone related to that woman!
"This woman is your sister-in-law's daughter."
"You ......"
Everyone is not blind, this girl is three points similar to Concubine Shu, and it doesn't matter at all, who would believe it?
Knowing that she couldn't hide, Concubine Shu didn't think about continuing to quibble.
Mu Guanqing, Mu Guanqing, she finally underestimated this person who could climb to the position of the first female official in Tianyu.
Seeing that Concubine Shu gave up resistance, Mu Guanqing did not forget to give half of this opportunity to Qin Huai.
"This matter is still not comprehensive enough to look at it this way, and I hope that the princess can tell me what you have found."
In the final analysis, this matter is to help Qin Huai, after all, she is the victim of this series of accidents.
"This ......"
Qin Huai was timid for a moment, but fortunately he was held by Liu Yanxin at this time.
Feeling the courage instilled in him by the heroine around him, Qin Huai nodded and stepped forward.
"Before, the princess had no silver because the servants of the princess's mansion were scattered and the Shanggong Bureau was cut off from the offering, so she went to the Wanjin pawnshop to prepare some items that were not commonly used. Who expected to meet this woman, this woman took a hundred pomegranate hairpins and tried to pawn, but was recognized by the princess and recaptured, and by the way, the shopkeeper of the pawnshop took out some of the items she had classic. β
She just made it clear what was going on.
Concubine Shu's head was getting lower and lower, and there was no need to doubt these words at all.
"This princess has grown up in the palace since she was a child, and she is naturally sensitive to the things in the palace. And what this girl pawned was all concubine things, jewelry accessories and even clothes and handkerchiefs, especially this pomegranate hairpin. The princess was suspicious, and feared that there would be thieves in the palace to sell the stolen goods, so she asked the shopkeeper to leave these items and give them to the female official. β
"But I didn't expect that what Princess Ben found was the evidence that Concubine Shu had murdered me."
When it comes to the story, I believe that everyone should determine who the real murderer is behind the scenes.
"Concubine Shuniang, do you still think that the lower officials want to frame you?"
Mu Guanqing is an upright person, and the interrogation method has its own process, so it is natural to convince the people who are identified.
But......
Where would Mo Yunlan be such a simple person to admit defeat.
She immediately rushed to Qin Huai, who was closest to her, and stretched out her hands to choke Qin Huai's neck.
"Cheap seed, it's you who killed my son, I want you to pay for your life! ...... life"
The poignant sound shocked a group of birds and beasts surrounding Jinding.
Liu Yanxin and Qing Chi shot almost at the same time, and only then did they take Mo Yunlan's hand off Qin Huai's neck.
But this woman used all her strength, even if she couldn't touch Qin Huai, she didn't forget to insult her mouth repeatedly!
"Bitch and your mother's slut! It's all Tianyu who offends people! Don't think that no one knows about her death...... I, Mo Yunlan, must let the truth be made public today! β
Mu Guanqing's face was very embarrassed, and she was about to make Qingchi stop her mouth.
"Instigatedβ"
Before she could give an order, Qin Ying had already pulled out her saber and pierced Mo Yunlan's heart from back to front......
This is......
The queen was also taken aback and unconsciously stopped her mouth.
Qin Huai would never have expected his father to make such a move, and after being frightened, the whole person fainted.
Mingyue and Caixia almost subconsciously went to help, and only remembered after catching Qin Huai.
own master...... No blood.
