Chapter 359: Sisters with Different Hearts
"Don't worry, master, this matter has finally passed, you went to bed early yesterday, I don't know the news, the emperor has locked that Chu Qiaomin in the Buddhist hall, it is estimated that it will not be released for a while, no one suspects you in this matter."
"Great, hopefully this will never be found out." Hearing the little palace maid say this, Chu Qiaoge's excitement was uncontrollable, and he had to laugh happily, what he hoped most was that this matter would sink into the sea forever and not be found out.
But at the same time, there were new worries, because she did it on a temporary basis, and she didn't think she would meet the two of them at that time.
Who knew that he met Chu Qiaomeng and Chu Qiaomin next to the pond, and they didn't know what they were doing. So she quietly ran to the bushes on the side, picked up a stone and hit Chu Qiaomeng, and made it Chu Qiaomeng's fall into the water that Chu Qiaomin did.
"You're going to do something for me right away." A smug smile crossed the corner of Chu Qiaoge's lips, and then whispered a few words in the little palace maid's ear.
The little palace maid immediately nodded in agreement, and according to Chu Qiaoge's meaning, she ran to the vicinity of the pond, and wanted to wipe off those footprints.
If the footprints are erased, it is truly unproven!
At this time, Chu Qiaomeng and the emperor were also discussing that matter.
"Since she didn't do it, who could it be? Why don't you think about it, what was abnormal at that time? Is there anyone else next to you......" The emperor squinted his eyes and asked Chu Qiaomeng about this, asking Chu Qiaomeng to think about this matter more clearly.
Sometimes the truth is just a thought, and a little thought of some clues and clues will become the key.
Chu Qiaomeng frowned, and began to think about it, thinking for a long time without thinking of an accurate answer, because at that time she was very sure that there were only two people there, she and Chu Qiaomin.
Thinking of the pain in her feet, Chu Qiaomeng lifted her skirt up a little and found that she had some abrasions on her ankles, which proved that someone had indeed hit her feet with a stone at that time, so the soles of her feet slipped and fell into the water.
She pointed to the abrasions on her ankles.
"Father, you see, this is the most favorable evidence. At that time, Erchen felt that his foot was hurt, so he fell into the water. This person absolutely can't be Chu Qiaomin, the only possibility is that someone hid in the dark and deliberately hit Erchen with a stone, so he let Erchen fall into the water and then wronged Chu Qiaomin. Erchen felt that it must have been done by a princess, and it was unlikely that anyone else would do such a thing. ”
Chu Qiaomeng made his analysis clear to his father.
Hearing her analysis, the emperor nodded in agreement, and also thought that it should be so, if it was just a little palace maid or a little eunuch, there was no need to do this to Chu Qiaomeng.
The disparity in status between them is so high that even if they do such a thing, it doesn't make any sense.
"You just wait for the good news from your father, no matter what, your father will seek justice for you and make the culprit confess!"
The emperor patted Chu Qiaomeng's shoulder and said a few words to her.
Chu Qiaomeng nodded excitedly, full of admiration for his father. Then the emperor called a few guards.
"You go and look for it at once, if I remember correctly, the pond should be moist all around, and there is a lot of yellow mud, and if someone hides in the shadows, there will definitely be footprints. You go and find those footprints, and maybe you can find the person behind them......"
The emperor told these guards his thoughts, and the guards received the emperor's order, left immediately, and went to find the person behind it according to the emperor's wishes.
When the guards came to the vicinity of the pond, they happened to see a little girl walking one foot deep and one foot shallow towards the bushes.
She didn't walk generously, but walked a few steps forward and then turned back, which was clearly sneaky.
Several of the guards rushed over, but the leader made a gesture to signal his men not to be so impulsive at this time.
"Don't be impulsive just yet." The thief wants to catch the stolen goods, and when the little palace maid is cleaning up the scene, they will rush up, so that she will not be able to deny it.
So the guards rushed over and waited for their chance.
The little palace maid looked around and saw that there was no one, and took the tools she had prepared, trying to clean up the footprints in the vicinity.
At this moment, all the guards rushed over, pressed the little palace maid against a tree on one side, and tied her hands.
Then take this little palace maid to meet the emperor. The moment she saw the emperor, the little palace maid cried bitterly and knelt in front of the emperor.
"The emperor is gracious, the emperor spares his life!"
The little palace maid cried with tears, hearing her begging for mercy, the emperor had anger on his face, he didn't want to talk nonsense with the little palace maid, just let these guards let go of her.
A guard had just loosened the ties for the little palace maid, and the little palace maid looked at the emperor with fierce eyes, and lowered her head again, not knowing whether she should explain or not.
"You, you haven't been recruited from the truth until now, what are you doing there? Who asked you to come? Who are those footprints, are you trying to murder Her Royal Highness the Princess, do you know what this crime is? ”
The emperor knew very well how to interrogate this timid little palace maid, and a few simple words had already made this little palace maid tremble with fright.
If she is really charged with murdering the princess, not only will she die, but even her family will die.
Weighing the pros and cons, this little palace maid can't care about the master or the master at all, as long as she can save the lives of her whole family, that is the most important thing.
"Your Majesty, this matter has nothing to do with the slave maid, and this is not what the slave and maid have to do, it is the master of the slave and the maid who wants the slave and maid to do this......"
The little palace maid spoke a little upside down, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing to the emperor.
Her head hit the ground with a clanging sound, but the little palace maid had no intention of stopping, and her forehead soon flowed blood.
Looking at her actions, the emperor was depressed and didn't want to see the little palace maid kowtow vigorously. After all, what everyone wants to know is always the truth.
"That's enough, don't knock again, you still have to honestly explain the ins and outs of the matter, maybe I can let you go." If you dare to hide anything, I will definitely destroy your nine clans. ”
The emperor pointed to the nose of the little palace maid and continued to scold her.
The little palace maid was very cooperative this time, and immediately made it clear what they had done.
"Your Majesty, this matter has nothing to do with the slave maid, it was the slave maid's master who asked the slave maid to clean up the footprints, because she happened to meet the two princesses when she saw them there yesterday, so she hid in the dark......"
The little palace maid did not hesitate at all, so she easily described the ins and outs of the time.
Hearing her story, the emperor realized that all this was not done by Chu Qiaomin at all, but by this hateful Chu Qiaoge.
