"The reason why I came to the palace was to repay my father's innocence," Wei Yining said slowly: "Back then, he was framed, saying that he had molested the palace maid during the period of national filial piety. That palace maid was originally the maid of the Wei family, named Rounu, who served the Empress Dowager Mingxian after entering the palace. But because she was young and beautiful, she was taken by a eunuch in the palace, and she refused to eat with her. But the eunuch was forced to do so, and even threatened her.

Because at that time, my father, as the Duke of Zhiyong, had to go to the palace every day to mourn, and Rou Nu wanted my father to ask for an idea.

The eunuch thought that Rou Nu wanted to take the opportunity to leave the palace to be my father's concubine, but he was jealous and hateful, and killed Rou Nu, pretending to hang himself. He also set a trap and tricked my father into it, and then he pretended to break it and made a noise, so that my father could not make his mouth clear, and he was guilty of a trumped-up crime. ”

Although the emperor was going to punish her for her crimes, he was also curious after listening to Wei Yining's words, and he still had an impression of Wei Zongzhao's affairs back then, so he asked: "Who is this inner prison?" ”

"It's the head of Tianxi Palace, Ding Neijian." Wei Yining said.

"You let ......" Ding Nei couldn't help but be furious when he heard Wei Yining say his name, he did participate in the murder of Wei Zongzhao, but it was useless to force the palace maid to eat. Some people are like that, they can turn black and white grass upside down at will, but if a little sewage is splashed on them, it will jump up and down like a monkey with its tail chopped off.

However, before he finished speaking, he was stopped by Xu Guifei.

"Your Majesty, this Wei Yining is a demon girl, she is full of nonsense, don't believe it!" Ding Neijian knelt down and kowtowed.

"Your Majesty, will you allow me to finish my sentence?" Wei Yining raised her head and asked the emperor, her eyes were clear and bright, and she had a power that captivated people's hearts.

"Ding Kun, shut up first." The emperor spoke: "Listen to her finish speaking." ”

"Eunuch Ding said that I wronged him, so why was it so coincidental in the first place, but he found out that my father forced the palace maid to death in Cuiming Palace?" Wei Yining said: "He is not from Cuiming Palace, when I entered the palace, I once found Aunt Chunhe who served with Rounu back then. She said that Ding Neijian did frequently harass Rounu at that time, which made her miserable. It's a pity that Aunt Chunhe fell into a well and died not long ago, and she can't come out to testify. ”

"You don't even have evidence, you're simply slandering good people!" Ding Nei said.

"If you can't prove your innocence, you're guilty." Wei Yining looked at Ding Neijian steadily.

"You ......" Ding Neijian was so hung that he was so scared that he was angry.

These are the emperor's words, if he dares to say that Wei Yining is talking nonsense, it is tantamount to scolding the emperor.

"What's more, I am not without evidence, I have a testimony here, which was written by Wei Zongyong before he left Beijing, with his signature on it. He told me that the reason why he was able to sit in the position of Duke Zhiyong was because Eunuch Ding took the initiative to find him and hinted that he could help him get rid of my father. He couldn't ask for it, and he gave Ding Neijian a lot of benefits," Wei Yining said, pointing to a piece of crane deer jade pendant worn on Ding's waist and said, "This thing originally belonged to my family, and even Wei Zongyong didn't know the mechanism inside. But my father told me to rub the two sides of this jade pei, one side is a harmony character, and the other is a music character. If it weren't for Wei Zongyong bribing you, how could the Wei family's things be on you? ”

"This, this jade pendant was bought by the slave himself, not by anyone." Ding Neijian argued.

"There is one more thing, just now Sun Mingming mentioned Xu Zhixi's death," Wei Yining ignored Ding Neijian and continued: "When I left the palace a few days ago, I met a person and knew something. So I knew that Xu Zhixi's death was not so simple, but there was another hidden secret. ”

"What do you mean?" When Xu Guifei heard Xu Zhixi's matter, she was not calm: "What evidence do you have?" Don't talk nonsense! ”

"I know a miracle doctor who said that when he was drinking with a friend the other day, he was given him a small gadget, which was a beautiful incense burner. The doctor found that the incense burned in the incense burner was a strange thing, not an ordinary spice. It is the incense of Zhou Niangzi that can cause people to sleep, this kind of incense is rare, so ordinary people do not recognize it. The doctor then asked his friend where he got this incense burner, and his friend told the truth because he was drunk, and he stole this incense burner from Han Yan Pavilion. He is a servant of the Criminal Department, and Xu Zhixi's corpse is filled by him. Wei Yining said: "Xu Zhixi hanged himself to death, there was no trace of struggle on his body, there was no slightest external injury, and there was no poisoning. However, although she was judged to have committed suicide, she was also a little puzzled, because she died too peacefully. Even if the neck is broken, he didn't struggle, how much he wanted to die!

It's a pity that this guy didn't recognize Zhou Niangzixiang, and after thinking about it, he still decided that Xu Zhixi committed suicide. And Doctor Lu judged the incense burned from the incense ashes, and knew how could a person who was extremely sleepy hang himself? This incense burner and incense are now in the hands of Divine Doctor Lu, and it is not difficult to verify it.

I remembered the night before Xu Zhixi's death, I originally wanted to reconcile with her, but before I could get to the door, I saw Ding Neijian enter, so I turned around and went back.

Thinking of Rou Nu's death, it is very similar to Xu Zhixi. I am very suspicious of Ding Nei's plan, and I don't know why he wanted to harm Xu Zhixi. However, you can ask the palace maid of Han Yan Pavilion, was Ding Neijian the last person to visit Xu Zhixi that night? ”

"You're bloody!" Ding Neijian shouted: "You must have stolen the incense burner, and made up some Zhou Niangzi incense to deceive people." ”

"Doctor Lu said that if you inhale a large amount of Zhou Niangzi incense and die soon, the bones will turn green after death, and this is not difficult to verify."

"Even if Miss Xu is harmed by someone, it is definitely not me." Ding Neijian said: "I am loyal to the concubine Niangniang, how can I harm the Xu family?" ”

"Then you can prove your innocence," Wei Yining said calmly, "Let's see if you can overturn my evidence." ”

Wei Yining glanced at Xu Guifei, and then looked at the northwest direction, although Xu Guifei tried her best to endure, her face still changed.

"You are noisy, and the Holy One will judge who is right and who is not." Xu Guifei said to Ding Neijian, and Ding Neijian lowered his head and stopped talking.

"Let's talk about Princess Qinghua again," Wei Yining continued, "Princess Qinghua and I have had smallpox one after another, and the interesting thing is that someone tried to drug me during this period. The queen mother and Xu Guifei both knew about it, but after checking and checking, they only pushed out Diao Worm, the apprentice of Ding Neijian, and took the blame. In fact, it was Eunuch Ding who knew the purpose of my entry into the palace, so he wanted to get rid of me for a long time. I have not come into contact with any smallpox patients outside the palace, and even if I wanted to harm Princess Qinghua for some ulterior purpose, it was impossible for me to gamble with myself. After all, my brother died of smallpox, and I watched him die in my mother's arms at the age of five, and that fear could not be erased for the rest of my life. ”
