Chapter 171: A Woman's Jealousy
Half of the suspicion of Li Changning in his heart has been determined, and the remaining half, Yuan Quanquan decided to confirm it in person.
specially instructed Xiang'er to invite Li Changning over, saying that there were some problems in the accounts and wanted to ask her for help.
When Li Changning came over, Yuan Quanquan pretended to flip through the account books, and after asking a few questions casually, he pulled people to sit at the table and drink tea.
Xiao Zhi made tea and stood aside, standing with Li Changning's personal maid Jin'er. She quietly looked at Jin Er, searched her gaze, and when Jin Er cast her eyes suspiciously, she pretended to praise her naturally: "Sister Jin Er's clothes are so beautiful." ”
Jin Er did not doubt him, and said with a smile: "This is a new dress that was just cut with new cloth a few days ago, if you like it, I still have the leftover fabric there, and I will cut it for you too?" ”
Xiao Zhi pretended to respond: "Okay, then thank you Sister Jin'er." ”
Yuan Quanquan glanced at Jin Er silently, and after turning his gaze back, in order not to make himself appear too deliberate, he first talked to Li Changning about some other things, and finally sighed with a bowed face: "Hey......"
Li Changning is a concubine of meditation, not even a side concubine, and she is not qualified to participate in the queen's birthday banquet yesterday. However, what happened in the palace, she already knew early this morning.
At this time, I heard the Yuan Quanquan sigh, and guessed in my heart that it was probably because of this incident. She looked normal, and as usual, she naturally cared: "Princess, why are you sighing?" What's the trouble? ”
Yuan Quanquan glanced at her, "Hey, don't mention it." I guess you should have heard about last night's incident in the palace, right? While speaking, he quietly observed the other party's expression, "I listened to your opinion, and specially picked out a copy of "People's Residence" written by Mr. Gong Jingzhi from the treasury and gave it to the queen as a birthday gift, but I don't know which one of the thousands of knives secretly dropped the bag for me!" It was replaced by a vulgar and glamorous book! ”
Li Changning sneered in his heart, but his face showed a look of hatred and hatred: "I heard about this." This person is so bold that even the princess of our Ming Palace's mansion dares to calculate. At the birthday banquet, he was disrespectful to the queen, and the princess, the queen was afraid that she would not give up. ”
"Of course I know that." Seeing that Li Changning was so calm and didn't show his feet at all, as if he was really worried about her, Yuan Quanquan continued to probe, "Fortunately, the emperor is wise, and he suspects that there is something strange in this matter, and says that he will thoroughly investigate this matter and return my innocence." I'm not going to sit still, I'm going to find out the person who framed me. ”
Li Changning's expression finally cracked when he heard that the emperor was going to investigate thoroughly, but he quickly regained his composure and echoed the words of the Yuan Circle with a smile.
Yuan Quanquan has been closely observing her expression, and her fleeting panic did not escape her eyes at all, and she caught it.
Oh, it's her, basically didn't run away.
When he picked up the teacup in front of him and brought it to his mouth, he suddenly crooked his hand, pretended to be burned by the tea, deliberately poured the teacup, and spilled the tea on his clothes.
"Oops!" With an exclamation, Yuan Quanquan acted quite seriously, stood up suddenly, stared at the wet part of his chest and frowned.
Xiao Zhi immediately stepped forward to cooperate, "Miss, what's wrong?" Burned? As she spoke, she was about to take out a handkerchief to wipe it for her, but as soon as she reached into her cuffs, she made a pause, as if she remembered that she didn't bring her handkerchief, and turned to Jin'er on the side to borrow it, "Sister Jin'er, can you borrow your handkerchief?" ”
Jin Er naturally couldn't imagine that the master and servant were cooperating with her to set her, so when she heard this, she immediately took out her handkerchief and handed it over.
"Thank you, Sister Jin'er." Xiao Zhi took the handkerchief and wiped the clothes of Yuan Quanquan, but her eyes stayed on the handkerchief in her hand.
The texture of the silk handkerchief is soft, and the corner of the white handkerchief body is embroidered with a small "gold" character with red silk thread.
Raised his eyes and quietly exchanged glances with the Yuan Circle, and then wiped it a little twice, and returned the handkerchief to Jin'er.
"Miss, you better go and change your clothes, it's cold, and it's not good if your clothes are wet and cold."
Yuan Quanquan nodded.
Li Changning didn't feel anything wrong, and when she saw this, she also asked her to go back to the back room to change her clothes, and said a few words before leaving.
As soon as the person left, Yuan Quanquan immediately sneered, "Heh, she is calm, and she acts better than me." ”
Xiao Zhi also looked angry: "I really didn't expect that Mrs. Li looks gentle and kind on weekdays, but behind her back, she uses such inferior means to harm you, Miss, and she really knows people and faces, but she doesn't know her heart, and her heart is really bad." ”
The Yuan Circle has now basically confirmed that he was hurting her behind her back, and the person who dropped her congratulatory gift was Li Changning, and next, I had to find a way to make her admit it.
She had to think about it again.
After changing his clothes, the Yuan Circle went to find meditation. Jieya, the idle and idle Hades, is not in the house today, I don't know where to run, and by the way, I took the little zombie out.
Talking about the results with the cultivators, the Ghost King's reaction was very flat, he only lifted his eyelids faintly, and said: "Drive it out, or leave it to the imperial brother to deal with, you choose." ”
I didn't expect him to be so neat and neat, but it made the Yuan Circle stunned.
"Uh......" blinking his eyes, Yuan Quanquan said, "Our family affairs, or ...... Don't bother the emperor, right? ”
"It's good if you're happy." In fact, he also felt that there was no need to bother the imperial brother for such a trivial matter.
"However, although we are sure that Li Changning is framing me behind my back, there is no real evidence. It can't be said that a ghost saw Jin Er doing bad things, right? ”
Why don't you call Jin Er and torture him to extract a confession?
Seeing that her eyes rolled, she knew what idea she had in her head, fished people over and circled them in her arms, and said with a smile: "This king has a thousand ways to make people tell the truth, hasn't the small circle forgotten the identity of this king?" ”
Yuan Quanquan's eyes lit up: "Really? Do you have a way? ”
Shen Xiu raised his eyebrows, "It seems that the small circle still doesn't know your husband very well......"
Soon, the Yuan Circle learned about it.
When Jin Er was brought to the Yuan Circle, she didn't know that she had been exposed.
"The slave has seen the prince, the princess." A little puzzled about what happened to the princess suddenly calling her over, Jin Er raised her eyes slightly and glanced at the meditation cultivator who was sitting next to the Yuan Circle, and was frightened by the man's indifferent eyes and quickly lowered her head, "I don't know what the princess has to tell the slave to come over?" ”
Yuan Quanquan didn't plan to talk nonsense with her, and went straight to the point: "Jin'er, I came to you today, I want to confirm something with you." ”
Jin Er is not stupid after all, she didn't notice anything wrong just now, but when she heard the tone of Yuan Quanquan's voice at this moment, combined with what happened in the palace yesterday, she had a faint feeling of uneasiness in her heart.
"What...... What's up? "Does the princess already know? Know that she replaced the book?
People really can't do bad things, their hearts are empty, and their faces will always be revealed involuntarily, unless they are a very strong and calm person in their hearts, or their acting skills are quite good, otherwise, a little subtle expression or look will betray everything.
Obviously, Jin Er is not a strong person in her heart, and her acting skills are not good, and before the Yuan Circle has even started to ask, she herself has already begun to feel weak.
Yuan Quanquan was surprised, this girl can't hide anything, right?
"I ask you, where did you go on the nineteenth of last month?"
As soon as Yuan Quanquan finished asking, he saw Jin Er's body trembling invisibly, "Slave maid...... The slave and maid stayed in the house and waited for the master, and did not go anywhere. ”
Yuan Quanquan: "Oh? In the house? ”
Ming Xiu was playing with a white jade teacup in his hand, and he seemed to be very impatient, and as soon as he heard Yuan Huanquan ask like this, he interrupted her and said directly to Jin'er: "Raise your head." ”
Jin Er was stunned for a moment when she heard the voice of meditation, and then raised her head tremblingly.
Meditation's indifferent eyes stared at her, and her eyes suddenly darkened: "To tell the truth." "Then it returned to normal.
The Yuan Circle's attention has been on Jin Er, but he didn't see the strange appearance of meditation, only after hearing the order of meditation, he found that Jin Er seemed to have become a little strange.
Her expression suddenly became a little glazed, her eyes were empty and unfocused, like a puppet that had suddenly lost her soul.
Soon, Kim began to explain everything, telling everything she had done.
After listening to this, Yuan Quanquan was stunned for two seconds, turned his head to look at the meditation cultivator, and said in surprise: "You still have this ability?" ”
Let people confide the truth unconditionally, this skill is a bit bullish!
Meditation enjoyed the feeling of being adored by his own princess, and a proud smile appeared on his lips: "This king's ability is more than this. ”
What kind of awesome ability does he have, this question will be discussed later, and now the matter in front of him will be solved.
"So, it was indeed your master who instructed you to steal my gifts, deliberately made me make a mistake at the queen's birthday banquet, and wanted the queen to punish me?"
"Yes." Jin Er replied obediently.
"Why would she do that?" Jealous?
"Because I hate you."
“……”
Yuan Quanquan glanced at the meditation cultivator, "Because of the prince? ”
"Yes."
Scold.
Really.
A woman's jealousy can cause them to do anything.
Jin'er's "honesty" allowed Yuan Quanquan to learn the truth easily and quickly, and the result was just as she expected before, Li Changning was not a good bird, and her usual gentleness and kindness were all pretended. In fact, she hated the Yuan Circle very much in her heart, because she robbed the prince of favor and won the position of princess.
So she took the opportunity of giving gifts on the queen's birthday to calculate the yuan circle and offend the queen.
"Flying Flowers" is a banned book, why is it banned? Because the content of the book promotes the bad atmosphere of "women stealing men", giving this book to the queen doesn't imply that the queen steals people behind the emperor's back? This is not only an insult, this is a great disrespect, it is a great crime to kill the head!
Even if there is King Ming behind the Yuan Circle, she can be guaranteed not to admit her guilt, but in the queen's place, her thorn can be regarded as pierced - she just felt that it was an eyesore before, but now it hurts.
If it hurts, you have to pull it out.
