Chapter 268: There seems to be a turnaround

"Please ask the queen to summon Xie Zhaoyi and the palace people to ask for evidence." Mrs. Yi still looked calm until this time, but Chun Gui saw that her eyebrows were getting stronger and stronger, and she should have judged that the situation was not good.

"Mrs. Yi." Empress Shen frowned at the distinguished guests who had always been warmly treated: "This palace thinks that this matter should not be publicized anymore, and one more person knows about it, which is even more unfavorable to Ling Yan." Shouyang She was also implicated in this accident because of Peng'er, and she was impatient to say it so harshly, if she wanted to talk about it, in fact, it would not make a fuss, just like what Peng'er said, Miss Dong was confused for a while, Mrs. Yi has always treated her harshly, and it is no wonder that Miss Dong saw that the transgression was broken by the inspection of virginity, and she was afraid of falling into the truth, so she made mistakes again and again. Mrs. Yi should enlighten her well, it is not difficult to cover up the past in this matter, and what is even more rare is Peng'er's sincerity towards your girl, if Miss Dong can change her mind...... This is also the fate of her and Peng'er. ”

I don't know how Mrs. Yi feels, but Chungui feels sick and nauseous when she listens to it.

"Please ask the queen to summon Xie Zhaoyi and the palace people to ask for evidence." Mrs. Yi repeated, her expression was extremely resolute: "Niangniang doesn't have to worry about whether the reputation of the little girl will be affected by this matter, if today's grievances cannot be cleared on the spot, the concubine and the little girl will not walk out of the West Garden alive!" ”

"You're threatening death......"

The lord of Shouyang County didn't finish speaking, but was interrupted by the queen mother.

"Queen, the name is really important to women, both sides insist on their own words, it is indeed too rash to judge based on the testimony of a palace person, it is better to let Mrs. Yi invite."

Empress Shen's eyebrows furrowed even tighter.

Empress Dowager Zhang said angrily: "Could it be that my sister is questioning Yu'er and Peng'er for lying?" ”

"yes, I'm just questioning." The Queen Mother's tone was calm.

Empress Dowager Zhang was dumbfounded.

Chun Gui looked at the Queen Mother's eyes and went straight to the red heart, domineering, my mother!

Empress Shen had no choice but to explain a few words to the palace people around her, and Chun Gui could see a few traces of Guo's mother from her eyebrows, guessing that this should be Guo's mother's daughter.

Xie Zhaoyi and Lu Xian came quickly, and Chun Gui had reason to believe that this was the queen mother's consideration, which shows that this lady has indeed been away from power for a long time, but she is not ignorant of everything, and no matter how many years she has cultivated herself, as long as she is determined to take charge of the affairs again, it seems that it is enough to convince the public to use Yu Wei to tremble.

This is the real master, if you want to advance, you can retreat, which is very in line with the standard of women heroes in the heart of Chungui.

Because of the spontaneous admiration and worship, Chungui stared at the Queen Mother's straight red heart for a long time, and was sensed by the Queen Mother, she responded with a smile, squinting the corners of her eyes slightly, the years made her naturally short eye lines slightly slender, her smile did not see how charming and feminine, but showed a bit of childishness.

seems to have been living in a carefree environment, never infected by the treacherous haze, unlike those women in the court who are either deep or resentful, but not lonely, this is her unique bearing.

It was easy for Chun Gui to curb the Queen Mother's strong attraction to her small iron nail like a magnet, and refocused her attention on the two newly arrived witnesses.

Xie Zhaoyi's sad face still pressed the two slender eyebrows trembling, and she was even more dazed and ignorant in addition to her sorrow, as if she didn't know anything about the changes in the garden, but as soon as she entered the painting screen of the Furong Pavilion, she quickly looked at the queen mother-Zhao Xiushu said that when people are at a loss, they usually subconsciously look at the people they can rely on-

Unlike the person who secretly peeped at Zhenzhen was the grandson, it seemed that Xie Zhaoyi relied on Empress Shen in the inner court.

Chun Gui looked at the palace man Lu Xian who was following Xie Zhaoyi again, she was obviously not as calm as Zhenzhen, her knees couldn't stop trembling when she saluted, she stood still on the side, and her eyes kept looking at the painting screen, but His Royal Highness Taisun was already seated at this time, although the painting screen was made of light yarn, but the colors and patterns on the screen were like a thickened barrier, and only the figure on the outside of the screen could be seen, because everyone was sitting, Lu Xian seemed to be unable to judge who was the Taisun, and the oblique peeping gaze lost its target, and kept flickering and shaking.

Too palpable panic.

Chungui didn't know if the queen had seen that Lu Xian had missed the clue, she only heard Queen Shen ask Lu Xian first.

When Lu Xian responded, she didn't squint at the picture screen again, her voice was thin and soft, and her eyelids twitched when she looked closely: "The slave maid originally led Miss Dong to the Caixia Building where Zhaoyi and Mrs. Yi were gossiping, but Miss Dong insisted on going to the Sui Pei Garden, and the slave and maid couldn't stop Miss Dong, and they didn't dare to let Miss Dong alone, so they had no choice but to follow." Miss Dong first said that she wanted to go to Yunxiangtai to enjoy the east-facing scenery of Qionghua Island, and the slave maid thought to herself that there was no banquet in either the garden or the Yunxiangtai today, and there was no arrangement for the palace eunuchs to watch at these two places, even if Miss Dong went to the Yunxiangtai because of curiosity, she would not meet the prince and grandson who went to the banquet, and she did not have to worry about being collided, and Zhaoyi always regarded Miss Dong as her junior, if the slave and maid did not follow Miss Dong's instructions, they might be blamed by Zhaoyi, and blame the slave and maid for neglecting the distinguished guests......"

Such tension, but the confession is very organized, and it also expresses what he thinks in a detailed and orderly manner.

While making a judgment in his heart, Chun Hui listened to Lu Xian continue to say softly: "But when Miss Dong arrived at the Xuan Pei Garden, she did not continue to go to the Ruxiang Terrace, but instead asked the slave to take the shortcut of the Xuan Pei Garden to the North Embankment verandah to spread the word of mouth...... The slave knew that Miss Dong's behavior violated the rules and etiquette of the palace, and she did not dare to obey her orders, but Miss Dong threatened the slave and maid, saying that if the slave and maid did not obey the order, she complained to Zhaoyi that the slave and maid deliberately led her to the garden with bad intentions...... The slave was very afraid and panicked at that time, so she had to compromise with Miss Dong's coercion and temptation. ”

"You slave, how can you, how dare you ......" Xie Zhaoyi, who was shocked, stammered and could barely say a complete sentence, looking at the queen and Mrs. Yi, her two crescent-like eyebrows seemed to be completely broken.

At this moment, the county lord of Shouyang felt even more reasonable: "Listen, even Lu Xian said this, how can you two mother and daughter of the Yi family quibble?!" ”

Mrs. Yi saw that Empress Shen was silent, as if she had already listened to the false accusations, and her face finally showed indignation: "Please allow the queen's mother, the concubine has something to ask Xie Zhaoyi." ”

"Just ask." Empress Shen said coldly.

"At that time, Zhaoyi and I were indeed talking in Caixia Tower, and there were no idlers beside him, and Zhaoyi did not ask Lu Xian to take the little girl to Caixia Tower?" Mrs. Yi asked.

Xie Zhaoyi was still shocked, but hurriedly bowed: "Yes, the matter I discussed with my cousin has not yet come to fruition, and I am so anxious that I didn't think of Ming'er at all." ”

"In that case, then Lu Xian said that she was lying when she called the little girl to Caixia Tower on the order of Zhaoyi!" Mrs. Yi stared at Lu Xian tightly: "It is obvious that you lied that you lied to follow Zhaoyi's order to deceive the little girl to come to the Xuan Pei Garden, but at this time, you falsely framed the little girl and threatened to lure you." ”

Lu Xian was so frightened that her knees were soft and she fell to the ground: "Although Zhaoyi regards Miss Dong as her own juniors and has always cherished her, she is only able to cover up for Miss Dong, but she is a slave, a slave...... If Zhaoyi doesn't tell the truth, the ladies will definitely blame the slave and maid for falsely accusing Miss Dong, and the slave and maid will be guilty of death

, save the life of the slave and maid. ”

"What nonsense are you talking about? I obviously didn't order you to call Ming'er......"

"Xie Zhaoyi." Empress Shen glanced at it coldly: "Now that the grandson and Miss Dong have their own opinions, your confession is very important, you have to think about it!" ”

This is a clear threat!!

Xie Zhaoyi was also so frightened that she knelt on the spot, Chun Gui could see that her expression was very struggling, but she didn't dare to say a word.

"Mrs. Yi, this palace understands your feelings of being a mother......"

"The queen doesn't need to say anything more considerate." Mrs. Yi was indignant, and also knelt on the ground: "Since the queen mother believes that the little girl has such a shameless funeral, then please send a decree and give the death penalty to the little girl, the concubine has no way to teach, and she should be guilty of the same crime as the little girl, but the concubine is still the same sentence, the concubine and the mother and daughter can be killed, but they will never admit their guilt!" ”

"Since you are obsessed...... Empress Shen was obviously very angry.

Chungui's heart sank, and he was about to speak, but he heard the queen mother and the two princes on the other side of the painting screen speak almost at the same time-

"Queen!"

"Queen Mother!"

"The son has something to say to his mother!"

The Queen Mother glanced at the figure on the picture screen, and then glanced at the queen: "Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu were also at the scene at the time, and the queen should listen to the confessions of the two of them before making a decision." ”

As soon as these words fell, I listened to the angry accusation of the fifth prince: "The sons and ministers are drinking and talking in the east corridor of the North Causeway today, I and the sixth brother and Wang Congzhi happened to be sitting in the Fengwan Pavilion, and I saw with my own eyes that when the palace people came down from the north gate of the Xuan Pei Garden, they were blocked by the eunuch, but she seemed to have bribed the eunuch to let the word be passed on, and it didn't take long for the grandson and Gao Peng to pass, and after a few words, the grandson and Gao Peng entered the north gate of the Xuan Pei Garden, and they were forced to break the ban, and the eunuch did not dare to stop them. The three of us also followed the ban, because of a delay in the gatekeeper, was pulled down a distance, on the way to catch up with the palace people, we asked her who was sent, she didn't dare to say, we drank her to wait in place, speed up the pace to catch up, just to see Taisun, Gao Peng sneakily over the hedge, chasing Miss Dong straight into the hibiscus pool to avoid danger! It is clear that Taisun and Gao Peng want to do something bad to Miss Dong, otherwise it is really as Taisun said, they just listened to the news and went to the private meeting to talk, why did they sneak up and want to sneak attack? ”

The sixth prince also hurriedly said: "What the fifth brother said is true, and I hope that the queen mother will not believe one-sided words and uphold justice for Miss Dong." ”

Of course, the testimony of the two princes is heavier than the testimony of the two palace people, and Chungui finally breathed a sigh of relief temporarily, but he listened to the Shouyang County Lord and questioned sharply: "Didn't the Fifth Highness and the Sixth Highness rely on the support of the Empress Dowager of Cining Palace, and have the heart of plotting to seize the throne?!" How dare you openly frame His Highness the Grand Sun! ”

"I'm just speaking up, and the county lord of Shouyang is the one who spews blood!" The fifth prince was even more angry.

"If the queen mother has any doubts, please allow her son to ask Lu Xian." The sixth prince also followed.

"Niangniang, don't believe such rebels and thieves!" The lord of Shouyang County did not give an inch.

"Shouyang, who gave you the power to convict the prince with empty white teeth?" The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows and looked at her: "You keep saying that Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu are plotting rebellion, then this matter is not something that the queen can judge, it seems that it has to be reported to the emperor for execution, or not, I think the queen is indeed unable to distinguish between right and wrong......

Empress Shen finally came to her senses and said busily: "Queen Mother, military and political affairs are heavy, so don't disturb the emperor about this matter, listen to the questioning of the inquiry first, and please rest assured that the concubine will definitely be dealt with impartially." ”
