Chapter 240: Confession
Shen Ruoxiao glanced at the furnishings in Liu Tingxi's room.
How could such a simple and generous decoration live with a person with a dark heart!
The corners of Shen Ruoxiao's mouth were half hooked, and he went straight to Liu Tingxi's dresser.
After glancing at it, her eyebrows instantly curved like a crescent moon, and she reached out to open the jewelry box on the dresser.
For a time, the dazzling array of precious jewels was revealed, and the light was compelling.
"Everyone, please see, this is Concubine Liu's dowry, everything is extremely precious, in comparison, the jade hosta is inconspicuous, will she do anything to steal for such clumsy jewelry?"
As she spoke, she picked up a pair of pearl earrings the size of pigeon's eggs and shook them in front of everyone.
"What do you think?"
Hearing this, the people gathered in the courtyard hesitated and talked about it one after another.
"Concubine Liu is dignified and generous on weekdays, her manners are elegant, and she is also very kind to her subordinates, it seems that she has really been wronged."
"Hmm...... She has so much gold, silver and jewelry, how can she look down on Concubine Hu's hairpin! ”
Suddenly, the center of gravity of public opinion suddenly shifted, and everyone's eyes moved away from Liu Tingxi.
Seeing this, okra was a little anxious, and she hurriedly stepped forward and pointed at Liu Tingxi.
"Princess, don't let her hypocritical appearance fool you, for she may have stolen these jewels from somewhere?"
Hearing this, Shen Ruoxiao couldn't help but raise his eyes, and his eyes instantly turned cold and abnormal.
even dared to shout to catch the thief here, it seems that he really didn't cry when he saw the coffin!
Shen Ruoxiao snorted coldly, strode to the side of okra, and glanced sideways at okra.
"Even so, you can explain why she is such a bad thing?"
Okra was speechless for a moment, and her eyes dodged.
"This ...... How does this slave know? ”
Hearing this, Shen Ruoxiao sneered, and a cold light flashed in the depths of his eyes.
"In that case, then let the people who came with you to search tell me the answer!"
As he spoke, Shen Ruoxiao flicked his sleeves and strode over to a group of servants behind Okra.
"You are so bold, who is the master of this palace, you don't know, right?"
An angry roar shocked the audience, especially the servants in front of her, who hung down their sleeves and trembled.
Okra was a little weak-hearted, she clasped her hands tightly and looked at everyone nervously.
These guys are all open-eyed when they see money, and they don't know if their mouths are tight.
If she and Concubine Hu confess it, it will be miserable.
Okra's nervousness all fell on Shen Ruoxiao's eyes.
Shen Ruoxiao grinned, and his complexion suddenly softened, not as fierce as before.
"I know that you may be bewitched, this princess is very open-minded, you want you to confess, and this princess promises not to hold you responsible."
After some kind words and persuasion, everyone began to look at each other, and some even hesitated to show tangled looks.
Shen Ruoxiao narrowed his eyes and paid attention to everyone's facial expressions.
Looks like we need to add more fire!
She smiled lightly, cleared her eyes, and her sharp eyes suddenly appeared.
"This princess's patience is limited, if you insist on shielding the person who planted the blame, once it is found out, this princess will definitely not spare it."
After speaking, she exuded a chilling chill all over her body, her hands behind her back, and the corners of her eyes were full of color.
Suddenly, with a pop, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl fell to her knees, her shoulders trembling.
"Wang ...... Princess, slave and maid move, slave and maid are all recruited. ”
Hearing this, Shen Ruoxiao stretched out her hand in a daze and signaled her not to speak.
"Wait, this princess will see how many people are not afraid of death, and they can't recognize the owner of this palace."
As soon as the words fell, everyone began to kneel down one after another, and for a while they all knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
"The princess spares her life, the minions have all been bewitched by the okra girl to do something wrong, I hope the princess will forgive her sins!"
The crowd kept kowtowing, and some of them even kowtowed until their heads were bleeding.
Hearing this, Okra's heart sank, and she retreated in despair, and her body shook involuntarily.
"You ...... Why have you wronged me? ”
She furrowed her eyebrows and pointed to the servant who was prostrate on the ground with an aggrieved expression.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Concubine Hu also stepped forward and looked at okra coldly.
"Princess...... What do you mean? Now the things of this concubine are gone, but you are here to deliberately induce everyone. ”
Hearing this, Shen Ruoxiao couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, and looked at Concubine Hu who stepped forward with some surprise.
"Yo...... Tell me, what did this princess do to induce them? ”
Concubine Hu gasped angrily, her eyes flashed, and she took a bite hard.
"You tricked them into identifying this concubine as the one who planted the blame."
"Isn't it?" Shen Ruoxiao answered without thinking, and Concubine Hu looked confused.
"You...... What nonsense are you talking about? Could it be that this matter is still directed and acted by the concubine? ”
Shen Ruoxiao sneered, the corners of his mouth hooked, revealing a hint of mockery.
"Since Concubine Hu is crying out for injustice, let's let the prince judge it!"
Hearing this, Concubine Hu's eyes flashed, the corners of her mouth opened, and a touch of pride flowed.
"Good! Let's let the prince decide! ”
As she spoke, Concubine Hu tightened her hand to reach out to her okra's arm, with a victorious smile on the corner of her mouth. I love eBooks
The prince will definitely believe her, after all, the prince loves her very much.
She was proud, everyone got out of the way, and Xuanyuan Hao walked over.
"What do you want the king to decide?"
As soon as Concubine Hu saw Xuanyuan Hao, she immediately swayed her waist and climbed onto Xuanyuan Hao's arm with a weak look.
"Lord Wang, you give a comment, it is obvious that Concubine Liu stole the jade hosta of the concubine, and the princess has to say that it is the concubine who framed Concubine Liu!"
Xuanyuan Hao, who was entangled by Concubine Hu, couldn't help frowning, and he directly reached out and brushed Concubine Hu's arm.
"In front of the public, what kind of system have you become?"
With a scolding, Concubine Hu was like being struck by lightning, and she looked at Xuanyuan Hao's slightly angry side face in a daze.
The prince has never spoken so harshly to her, what is the matter now?
Just when she was puzzled, Xuanyuan Hao swept past her and walked in front of Shen Ruoxiao.
"What the hell is going on here?"
Shen Ruoxiao stretched out his hand and pointed to the seven or eight servants who were kneeling.
"Lord Wang, you better judge it yourself! lest any other man say that this princess slanders her. ”
Hearing this, Xuanyuan Hao's sword eyebrows became deeper and deeper, and he glanced at Concubine Hu with some impatience.
He's had enough of this stupid woman!
Don't turn your face, Xuanyuan Hao stretched out his hand coldly and pointed to a family member stepping forward.
"Say, what's going on?"
Hearing this, Jia Ding Cheng moved his knees in fear and buried his head on the ground.
"The prince spared his life, the little ones all listened to the orders of the okra girl next to Concubine Hu, and said that they must search Concubine Liu's room tonight, and she also gave the little ones some silver taels."
At this time, Okra's feet were soft, and he also knelt on the ground, looking at Concubine Hu in horror.
"Master, slave and maid......"
Concubine Hu was like being struck by lightning, and her round little face instantly lost its color.
Suddenly, her eyes turned slightly, and she stepped forward and grabbed okra's collar and slapped her hard.
", you dare to do such a dirty thing behind your back!"
Okra's eyes widened in disbelief, and she covered her flushed cheeks, tears raining down.
"Master...... How can you say that you are a slave and a maid, it is obvious that you instructed the slave to do it. ”
A dog-eat-dog farce, Shen Ruoxiao watched coldly.
Stupid!
Concubine Hu tore Okra's mouth, looking hideous and terrifying, and the scene was chaotic.
Xuanyuan Hao's handsome face became darker and darker, the killing intent in his eyes was overflowing, and he said coldly in a low voice: "Have you made enough trouble, shameful things, from now on, Concubine Hu will enter the Qingqiu Courtyard, and without the order of this king, you must not leave half a step." ”
The ruthless order poured into Concubine Hu's ears, and she was instantly petrified on the spot, and she fainted directly without mentioning it in one breath.
After speaking, Xuanyuan Hao shook his long sleeves, was angry, turned his back and strode away.
Shen Ruoxiao was stunned in place, confused, a pair of long eyebrows couldn't help frowning together, and he grabbed the corner of Xuanyuan Hao's clothes
"That's it?"
"What else do you want?" Xuanyuan Hao frowned, his eyes ran down his arms and fell on Shen Ruoxiao's white hands.
"Does the princess dispute the king's ruling?"
Shen Ruoxiao shrugged his shoulders in disdain, and glanced at Concubine Liu beside him.
"Lord Wang, Sister Liu has suffered such a big grievance today, shouldn't you express it?"
Hearing this, Xuanyuan Hao raised his eyebrows and stared at Shen Ruoxiao with some anger.
Does she just want him to be nice to other women?
Anger rushed to his heart, Xuanyuan Hao sneered, and pulled his sleeves, "Then this king will come to Concubine Liu's courtyard tonight and accompany her well." ”
After speaking, he stared directly at Shen Ruoxiao's reaction, with some anticipation wrapped in anger in his heart.
Will she be jealous?
Seeing that Shen Ruoxiao's face was expressionless and indifferent, Xuanyuan Hao's long sleeves lifted violently, and he left without looking back.
Shen Ruoxiao's hand pulling at Xuanyuan Hao's sleeve was awkwardly raised in the air.
"What kind of madness is this! Hasty, perfunctory attitude, bad reviews. ”
Shen Ruoxiao muttered a few words in a low voice, but Liu Tingxi beside her listened to it, and she shook her head silently.
"Princess, this Qingqiu courtyard is a deserted courtyard, in the northwest corner of the palace, it is particularly remote, and it is like a cold palace in the palace."
Hearing this, Shen Ruoxiao stretched her brows, she hooked the corners of her mouth, and sneered: "It's about the same, let her suffer this living sin well before she can repent." ”
At this time, the maid next to Liu Tingxi looked excited, and she pulled the corner of Liu Tingxi's clothes and shook it.
"Master, the prince said that the prince came to our yard!"
This sentence was like a slap in the face, and Liu Tingxi's little face turned half white in an instant.
"How's that okay?"
Hearing this, Shen Ruoxiao pressed Liu Tingxi's trembling arm in confusion.
"Sister Liu, what's wrong with you? The prince said to compensate you, wouldn't it be good for you to ask him for more things in a while? ”
Liu Tingxi looked helpless, and shook his head sadly, "Princess, the prince means to stay here at night." ”
Shen Ruoxiao was stunned for a moment, and pressed Liu Tingxi's hand and immediately retracted, looking apologetic.
"Sister Liu, I didn't mean to."
After speaking, she stomped her foot angrily at Xuanyuan Hao's departing back.
Didn't she do bad things with good intentions and help her?
