Chapter 914: There is a turning point
With a hint of coldness in her eyes, Jia Concubine looked at Xiu'er and said, "If you expose me, there is no one to protect you and support you, can you be safe?" ”
Xiu'er was already dizzy at the moment, and when she heard her say this, her heart was even more bottomless and uneasy, she pulled Jia Concubine's sleeve and begged: "Little master, save the slave and maid, the slave and maid don't want to enter the Shen Punishment Division."
You know that the slave and the maid can't bear those punishments, and the slave and the maid also want to keep the secret for the little master, but if you want to endure those punishments, it is too difficult, for your own sake, and for the sake of the slave and the maid, you must save the slave and the maid. ”
This time, her speaking level has finally improved, knowing that she will use the interests of Jia Concubine to tie her life together, and it is not a threat to her, showing that she is forced to be helpless, after all, few people can bear it under torture.
If she had said this before she threatened Jia Concubine, Jia Concubine would have understood a little and would not have been disgusted with her, but now it's too late.
When people are most desperate and afraid, they must show their truest self, and Xiu'er used this to blackmail her at that time, which shows that she is not a loyal person, she cares about herself the most, as long as someone threatens her life, she will even betray her master to save her life.
People are selfish, which is understandable, but as a slave, swearing allegiance to one's master and keeping it secret for one's master is the most deserved, otherwise it is not worth relying on and trusting.
On the other hand, Bizhu, she was beaten so much, and she was suspected, she was so loyal, in comparison, her loyalty was really much higher than Xiu'er.
Thinking of Bizhu, she caught a glimpse of Bizhu's figure in her spare eye, and saw that Bizhu was also afraid, but she didn't look at Jinxiu, nor did she look at herself, she did much better than Xiu'er, which made her more satisfied with Bizhu and had the heart to accept Bizhu.
Concubine Duan looked at the imperial concubine and said: "Sister, this palace also thinks that Concubine Rong's sister's words are very reasonable, since this investigation can't produce more evidence, then hand it over to the Criminal Justice Division for interrogation, after all, it is about the imperial heir, and you can't ignore it." ”
Before the imperial concubine could speak, Concubine Rong followed behind Concubine Duan and said, "Sister is so hesitant, isn't she weak-hearted, I'm afraid that the people of the Criminal Division will investigate something?" ”
The imperial concubine glared at Concubine Rong fiercely, where did you see the palace hesitating? Have you given Hongu a chance to speak? Interrupted so quickly.
"I didn't do anything wrong, what kind of heart is there in this palace? Since you all think it's more appropriate to send it to the Sentencing Division, then send it. The imperial concubine said.
Concubine Yi on the side was a little surprised, are you so frank and fearless, do you really have nothing to do with this matter.
Cuiyun, who was beside the imperial concubine, heard the order of the imperial concubine, so she beckoned the other palace maids and eunuchs in the house to drag Bizhu and Xiu'er down.
Xiu'er looked at her master for help, and Jia Concubine said: "You and I are a grasshopper on a rope, if something happens to me, you can't escape, as long as you don't betray me, I will definitely find a way to save you." ”
Hearing this, Xiu'er couldn't help but want to confess in public, she looked at Jia Concubine with tears in her eyes, and choked up: "Little master, the slave and maid will definitely hold on, you must hurry up and save the slave and maid." ”
"Don't worry, I'll definitely find a way to save you." Jia Concubine soothed her.
After pacifying her rear like this, she was also a lot more relieved, after all, she didn't tell Xiu'er a lot of things, it's not that she couldn't trust Xiu'er, she just felt that the more people who knew, the easier it would be to be exposed.
Now, she is glad that she didn't tell Xiu'er, otherwise if Xiu'er betrayed her, then she would be miserable.
Under the gaze of everyone, the palace maids and eunuchs walked towards the two, both of them were afraid in their eyes, and their bodies trembled.
When a palace maid's hand just put on Bizhu's shoulder, Bizhu was instantly frightened and knelt back like a frightened bird, and she shouted: "Don't! Don't arrest me, don't arrest me! ”
It's a pity that her resistance is useless, how can she escape the clutches of everyone under the capture of so many people.
She was grabbed by the palace maids and was about to take her out, but Bizhu hurriedly looked at Concubine Ji and begged: "Little master! Little Lord! Save the slaves! Save the slave and the maid! ”
Ji Concubine was stunned, her big eyes were full of doubts, she didn't understand why Bizhu asked for help from herself, shouldn't she ask Jia Concubine for help? What's going on?
She hadn't reacted yet, but some people had already reacted, and when Concubine Yi saw this, she immediately said, "Stop!" Stop, y'all! Put them down. ”
The palace maids obediently obeyed, put down the bamboo, and stood quietly aside.
Concubine Rong opened her mouth and said, "Sister, what are you doing to stop them?" Don't you want to shield someone? ”
Concubine Yi replied: "Sister Rong, don't think nonsense, this palace is just a little puzzled to ask Concubine Ji for help when this girl is in danger, didn't she betray Concubine Ji and take refuge in Concubine Jia?" Why don't you ask your new master for help, but ask for help from your betrayed old master, I'm afraid there is another strange reason for this. ”
The imperial concubine followed and said: "What Sister Yifei said makes sense, the most authentic thoughts of a person can be shown in times of crisis, it stands to reason that this Bizhu has betrayed Ji Concubine, she knows that Ji Concubine will not save her, so why do you have to ask Ji Concubine for help." ”
Concubine Rong replied: "This Bizhu has been with Concubine Ji for so many years, and it is normal to subconsciously ask her for help, what is there to doubt about this." ”
Concubine Yi said: "Why can't you doubt, if you have doubts, you can doubt it, not to mention that I am here, just ask her directly, everything will be clear." ”
The imperial concubine nodded, looked at Bizhu, and said: "Bizhu, this palace will give you another chance to tell the truth, as long as you tell the truth, then this palace will spare you and not send you to the criminal justice department for trial." ”
Bizhu subconsciously glanced at Ji Concubine again, as if Ji Concubine was still her master, and whatever she said had to be agreed by Ji Concubine.
This scene was even more suspicious, and Ji Concubine also realized that something was strange, she glared at Bizhu fiercely and said, "What do you think I do?" You, a man who betrayed me, still have the face to ask me for help? I'm telling you, I'm not going to save you, so you can go to the Criminal Division and give me a good explanation. ”
When Bizhu heard this, her face showed a look of disappointment and sadness, she frowned and said, "Little master, don't you care about our master-servant relationship for many years?" ”
"What are you talking about, you haven't betrayed me with the love of master and servant for many years, I still miss you, I have nothing to say to you, the imperial concubine, please send her to the Shen Criminal Division for interrogation immediately, she will definitely tell the truth."
