Chapter 172: Replacement

Seeing this, Rong Xiao didn't continue to ask, but said, "Miss Shen, my subordinates will definitely try their best to find evidence to prove your innocence." ”

"Thank you."

In order to avoid gossip if he stayed any longer, Rong Xiao didn't stay any longer and quickly left here.

And after he left, Shen Ruogu fell into deep thought, who was framing him? Is it a concubine?

On the other side, Yun Concubine naturally didn't know that she had fallen into Shen Ruogu's suspicions, this time it was really not him who did it, she thought that Shen Ruogu finally couldn't bear to make a move on Huiming, so she was now gloating.

"Shen Ruogu finally killed himself this time, and now that Beiqiang has intervened, I believe that even if the emperor protects her again, he will never destroy the diplomatic relations between the two countries for her."

"Niangniang is right, Shen Cairen is now to blame, and this time there are two less capable competitors all of a sudden, I believe that no one can compete with Niangniang you for the emperor anymore."

After listening to the words of her confidant maid Xiaorou, Concubine Yun's mood was even better, and at this time she had already decided that Shen Ruogu would inevitably die this time.

As if to confirm her guess, Beiqiang found a witness to prove that Shen Ruogu was the murderer of Huiming.

After learning the news, Qin Lingjue's face immediately changed: "They found a witness?" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Rong Xiao was a little anxious, "Your Majesty, what should I do now?" ”

After Qin Lingjue pondered for a moment, he said, "Let them bring someone to come over, I want to see who this witness is." ”

Now that the matter has been put on the table, he naturally can't do anything favoritism, so he can only take one step at a time.

Soon, Wen Chang and other envoys from Beiqiang came over with witnesses.

The moment they saw the so-called witness, Qin Lingjue and Rong Xiao were stunned, because that witness was Jiang Ruoxue!

Jiang Ruoxue? How could it be her?

Qin Lingjue quickly reacted and said unhappily: "Wen Chang, are you teasing me?" Everyone knows that Jiang Ruoxue is crazy, how can a madman be a witness? ”

And the moment his words fell, Jiang Ruoxue said: "I'm not crazy, I was just deliberately pretending to be crazy and stupid, trying to avoid Shen Ruogu killing me." ”

Hearing this, Qin Lingjue's face changed slightly, and he said coldly: "You made it clear, everyone knows how Ruogu treats you after you enter the cold palace, and it is too ridiculous for you to say that she wants to attack you." ”

"That's just Shen Ruogu's deliberate act in order not to fall into the hands of others, in fact, when there were no outsiders, she kept abusing me, and the injuries on my body can prove it."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces changed, but Qin Ling definitely didn't believe it, and asked people to check Jiang Ruoxue's body, but they learned that things were indeed as Jiang Ruoxue said.

She does have all kinds of injuries on her body, some of them are new, and some of the old injuries are found to be the injuries of Shen Ruogu when she first entered the cold palace, and they are all right in time.

At this time, Qin Ling couldn't help but have a trace of suspicion about Shen Ruogu, let alone the others.

However, in the end, Qin Lingjue still chose to believe Shen Ruogu, "Let's not mention this matter for the time being, since you are deliberately pretending to be crazy and stupid, how can you prove that you did not deliberately frame her to murder Huiming in order to take revenge on Ruogu?" ”

At this time, Wen Chang, who had not spoken, spoke: "Your Majesty Emperor Jin, in addition to Miss Jiang, a night vigil palace maid in Princess Huiming's palace has also seen Miss Shen come to Princess Huiming's bedroom that night. ”

Hearing this, Qin Lingjue's face sank completely, "Let that palace maid come in." ”

Soon the palace maid was brought over, and Qin Lingjue immediately asked, "Are you sure you really saw Ruoya appear outside Huiming's dormitory?" ”

"Back to the emperor, the slave and maid did see it."

"Then why didn't you say it before?"

"The slave thinks she's wrong."

"Wrong? So are you sure you read that right? ”

"Slave ......"

Before she could finish speaking, Qin Lingjue interrupted: "Okay, Wen Chang, you also heard it, this palace maid herself is not clear, and she can't be used as a witness at all." ”

As soon as these words came out, Wen Chang's face immediately changed, "Your Majesty Emperor Jin, are you trying to protect Shen Ruogu?" ”

"You haven't found any conclusive evidence that Wakaya did this, I'm just talking about it."

After that, Qin Lingjue asked Wen Chang and the others to go down.

"Rong Xiao, is the stand-in prepared for Ruoya last time still there?"

Hearing this, Rong Xiao suddenly understood what Qin Lingjue was planning to do, and immediately said, "It's still there, Your Majesty, what are you going to ......?"

And the next moment, Qin Lingjue's order confirmed his guess: "You will replace Ruogu with her tonight." ”

Hearing this, Rong Xiao immediately agreed, "Your Majesty, are you suspicious of Miss Shen?" ”

Qin Lingjue shook his head and said, "I'm just doing one more layer of protection, the current form is very unfavorable to Ruogu, and I can't guarantee that I can protect her all the time." ”

Although Jiang Ruoxue's previous words made him a little shaken, he still firmly believed that Shen Ruogu would never do those things, but now he has not been able to find evidence that can prove Shen Ruogu's innocence, and Beiqiang has been biting Shen Ruogu tightly, and when the time comes, he may have to choose to sacrifice Shen Ruogu for the sake of the overall situation.

So before that, he had to find a way out for her, anyway, the Gu worm in her body had been taken out, and she could fake her death and get out and go back to Mobei at that time, but in this way, she could only hide her name in the future, so he would not choose to take this step unless it was absolutely necessary.

After listening to Qin Lingjue's words, Rong Xiao immediately understood his plan, so he immediately sent someone and decided to replace Shen Ruogu tonight.

However, when Rong Xiao told Shen Ruogu about Qin Lingjue's intentions, she strongly refused.

"No, I don't agree, I'm leaving now, isn't it true that I murdered the queen?"

Hearing this, Rong Xiao was a little anxious, and immediately said: "Miss Shen, your subordinates and the emperor all believe in you, but it's just ......"

"That's enough, I'm sure you'll be able to find out the truth as soon as possible and prove my innocence."

Shen Ruogu knew that Qin Lingjue and Rong Xiao were for her own good, but she was never willing to bear this charge, and finally lived incognito for the rest of her life.

Seeing that Shen Ruogu was so resolute, Rong Xiao was a little helpless: "Miss Shen, aren't you living up to the emperor's hard work by doing this?" ”

However, no matter how Rong Xiao persuaded her, Shen Ruogu just didn't agree to replace her, so she had to stay in Dali Temple and wait for Rong Xiao to find evidence for her that could prove her innocence, and in the end, Rong Xiao had to give up.
