Jing Zi on the side was already crying into tears, but Jing Hui raised the teacup and slowly took a sip of hot tea, looking coldly at the wedding dress covered with ink. The green color scheme is very dignified and calm, and the ink is actually not very much, but there is a palm-sized puddle on the tail of the skirt, and the rest are scattered distribution. It's just that as a brand-new wedding dress, it's really distressing to watch.

Although it was indecent, Jing Wei still made Jing Zi cry well. After all, only when they saw her crying so sadly, some people knew the seriousness of the matter.

"Where was the trial just now?"

Jing Hui is very smart, she didn't pick Mrs. Xian's thorn as soon as she came, after all, this is the person handpicked by Emperor Wei, wouldn't it be a slap in the face to say that she is overwhelmed. made the appearance of continuing the trial with the content of her trial, giving each other a step, so that there could be one less enemy.

"Back to the queen's mother, I just said that the key to the embroidery room is not only available to Liu Wan, and there are still reserves in the Shang Palace Bureau. As a result, the range of suspects was suddenly expanded. ”

Liu Wan's words are true, this palace thinks that the motive should also be considered, not everyone who can access the key has the motive to do it. The people in the palace, the left and right Jingzi can't be contacted, most of them are because the palace offended him. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone shuddered, and finally found out that no matter who so-called, they would inevitably be regarded as the enemy of the middle palace, which was much heavier than driving out of the palace or other punishments. The queen has never really tolerated Liu Wan in her heart, and if she detects this, she is afraid that she will hate the queen as well.

However, the situation at this time did not allow Jing Hui to be without three hundred taels of silver here. She can only use some usual means to force out the real murderer step by step.

"Niangniang, the slave has a heart, I have a few words to say."

Wanxin knelt down two steps, closer to the queen. Jing Hui lowered her eyes and glanced at a large number of them, it was an unfamiliar face. But she's already taken the initiative to ask, so she might as well listen to it first. With the permission of the queen, Wanxin was calm, bowed to the ground, and said what he thought truthfully.

When the embroidery room first opened, the slave maid and Liu Wan worked together to remove the dust cloth covering the wedding dress. On the day when the embroidery room was closed, four or five people stood on a high place to cover the dust cloth. And if you look carefully at the stained wedding dress, it should be caused by splashing the ink left over from the inkstone in the embroidery room. Wanxin said and pointed to the long table closest to the wedding dress, and everyone saw that the inkstone was placed on it.

The ink inside has dried, and it can be seen from the traces of solidification that there is indeed a process of forceful breaking of the ink.

"Niangniang, the inkstone was collected by the slave maid at that time, but the slave maid clearly remembered that it was not originally placed here, but should have been placed on the table next to you, together with the pen holder." The embroidery girl who spoke was called Yueniang, and she was also a member of the embroidered wedding dress.

While recalling the situation of the day, she said: "The ink in the inkstone is what we usually use for line drawing, and there was indeed a lot of ink in the inkstone at that time, and the slave wanted to pour it, but Liu Wan said that it was a pity, and covered it with a piece of white paper, and when the embroidery room was reopened, add some water and grind it to use." ”

"In this way, that is what Liu Wan had already thought of to commit the crime and deliberately let people stay!"

The closer to the truth, the easier it is for the real murderer to jump over the wall, Wang Siyi followed Yueniang's words, and led the suspicion to Liu Wan.

"No, no, mother! At that time, there were more than ten people in the embroidery room who could testify, and everyone praised Liu Wan for being thrifty. If she really wanted to splash the wedding dress with ink, wouldn't it be too ostentatious? ”

Yueniang glared at Wang Siyi, and she also sensed Wang Siyi's hostility towards Liu Wu in her heart. And get along, people's hearts have a judgment, Wang Siyi will blindly command and scold people on weekdays, only Liu Wan will help people work overtime, and will teach them all kinds of embroidery skills. Naturally, it is self-explanatory who can be trusted and who cannot be trusted.

"Combined with what the two of them said, the concubine has an idea."

Mrs. Xian whispered to the queen, anyway, this matter must have been done by someone secretly, and the ink in the inkstone had not dried at that time, so it should have been a matter of less than a day after the embroidery room was closed. It's better to prove to each other the evidence of alibi, and the embroidery girl who left the palace is naturally recorded, and the female officials in the palace can also tell each other about their whereabouts three days after the embroidery room is closed.

"Xia Guan has been on standby in Zichen Palace, and in addition to Xia Guan, the other five Shang are all together. The six of us can prove this to each other, and the two mothers can also prove it for the lower officials. ”

Zhou Shanggong took a step forward, bowed, and spoke. The other five adults stepped forward one after another and echoed: "As Lord Zhou said, the lower officials and others are all waiting in their respective positions. ”

All the embroidery girls are out of the palace, except for Liu Wan and Wang Ziying. Although Liu Wan is still among the key suspects, she is not in a hurry to defend herself. On the contrary, after the female officials testified to each other, the whereabouts of Wang Siyi on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve became unclear.

"Xiaguan...... Xiaguan and Ziying were together, and it was rare for her to stay in the palace, and she did not return on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve. Wang Siyi thought about it for a while, and finally came up with a reasonable excuse.

At first hearing this, Wang Ziying's heart almost jumped out, but fortunately, she quickly understood what Wang Siyi meant, nodded and agreed: "Yes, yes, the slave and Wang Siyi are in the same place." ”

Seeing that Liu Wu had become the target of public criticism again, Zhou Shanggong couldn't help but sweat, she wanted to prove it for Liu Wan, but she didn't dare to tell this lie. It's all up to her own creation.

"Wang Siyi ......"

After the depressed silence, Liu Wan opened her mouth again, Wang Siyi's uncontrollable nervous look was already written on her face, and she couldn't help but say "ah", which was regarded as a promise to Liu Wan.

"On Chinese New Year's Eve, when were you with Wang Ziying?"

This question was caught off guard, Wang Siyi hesitated for a long time, and had to reply with annoyance: "Who will pay attention to this time, it's just that they are together all night." ”

"Really?" Liu Wan smiled slightly, "How do I remember when Princess Yuzhen was canonized, I saw you outside the Zichen Palace, but you came out of the Zichen Palace in a hurry and hit me hard, and said that I stepped on your shoes, remember?" ”

"You don't lie to me, you're just afraid that there is no one to prove with you, so you climb me like this! I didn't go to Zichen Palace at all that night, and I didn't see you, so why collide? ”

Wang Siyi angrily pointed at Liu Wan and scolded loudly, looking really indecent.

"Have I lied to you, let's take out the key stored in the storehouse and see."

"What's the matter with that key?"

"When the two of us collided, the key fell on the ground that had just melted into the snow, and it was covered in mud."

Seeing that Liu Wan spoke in a flat tone, and every detail was so clear, the queen and Mrs. Xian had already had some doubts about Wang Siyi. Hearing Wang Siyi jump again: "You are talking nonsense, nothing fell out at all when we collided together!" ”

Everyone exclaimed, Wang Siyi was a little stunned, Liu Wan's cold face showed a disdainful smile, and asked, "Didn't you just say that you haven't been to Zichen Palace and haven't seen me?" Why do you admit it now? Liu Wan turned around and kowtowed to Jing Hui: "The queen is above, Wang Siyi is speaking falsely and truthfully, it is difficult to distinguish the true from the false, I am afraid that my heart is empty." ”

Jing Hui slapped the table suddenly, so frightened that Wang Siyi fell to his knees, and denied it again and again: "No, Niangniang!" If Liu Wan set a trap to trap Xia Guan, Xia Guan was really with Zi Ying that night! ”

Seeing that the timing was right, Zhou Shanggong came forward again: "Why don't we ask for the key and distinguish the truth from the fake?" ”

The queen nodded in agreement, but the key to the embroidery room was missing in the storeroom. Zhou Shanggong ordered again: "Go to Wang Si's clothes room and search carefully!" ”

Sure enough, the storage key in the embroidery room was found in Wang Siyi's jewelry box.

"Auntie, Zi Ying has long advised you not to do evil, but now you have set yourself on fire, haven't you?"

Wang Ziying cried loudly, as if she had known that Wang Siyi had done this evil thing, and she persuaded her with good words, but Wang Siyi just didn't listen.

"You!"

Wang Siyi pointed at Wang Ziying, but knew that everything was over, thinking that she was the hope of the Wang family in the palace, and swallowed back the words with tears.

has suffered in the palace all his life, and he is about to leave the palace and go home, but after all, he is cocooned and his future is broken. Wang Siyi, who was old, was hopeless to get out of the palace, but was demoted to a rough palace maid by the middle palace, and changed his slave status to die in the palace. Originally, she didn't have to be punished so heavily, but it was a pity that she offended Jingzi, and she just caught up with the most taboo thing in Jingfu. Under the anger, Jing Hui had to vent all the unhappiness on Wang Siyi's head.

Jingzi's wedding dress was still being made, and Liu Wan comforted Jingzi: "Miss, don't worry, the embroidery room will definitely come up with a way to embroider ornaments to cover up the wear marks." In order to check the change of the wedding dress, Jingzi was blessed by misfortune, and she had a reason to enter the palace to see the wedding dress, and her heart was also happy.

The proper use of sea lines and auspicious clouds reasonably covers the ink on the wedding dress. Fortunately, Jingzi saw it when she entered the palace, and she liked it very much.

The position of secretary has been vacant for more than a month, and it is mid-February in the blink of an eye. The middle palace issued a decree, and Zhou Shanggong issued a document to promote Wang Ziying to the secretary. This is something that everyone did not expect, and many embroidery girls were upset with Liu Wan: "In terms of strength, it should also be Ah Wan, how can it be her?" I sat in the embroidery room all day, and I didn't see three flowers embroidered. ”
