Chapter 309: Do You Want to Eat Fish?
Su Mulian and Su Muzhi returned to their seats and sat down, this Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet turned into an interrogation, which was obviously very interesting, because the palace was full of royal forest soldiers standing inside and outside the hall, so Cheng Aoran put away his sword and returned to his position.
Ning Guifei knew that something was wrong, and made a look at the personal palace maid behind her, Su Muzhi knew that she was going to call for help, so she glanced at Lin Xuan.
After Lin Xuan signaled, he followed when everyone was not paying attention.
"Sister, do you want to eat fish?" Su Muzhi leaned over, attached to Su Mulian's ear, and asked in a meaningful whisper, "My sister is ordering someone to catch a big fish!" ”
Su Mulian was confused and looked at her in confusion.
Su Muzhi didn't answer, but smiled faintly.
After a while, Li Sansi came back, only to see that his face was heavy, he glanced at Concubine Ning, then looked at Liang Guang, and whispered: "Your Majesty, the servants found a large amount of jewelry and silver in Qiu Wanshu's room. ”
"It's not easy for a little palace maid in the miscellaneous department to have so much money!" It was Shu Concubine Ye Lanxin who spoke, and she said cautiously.
"Bring things in." The Queen Mother said coldly.
Li Sansi took the gold and silver jewelry that was packed in the tray, walked up respectfully, and put it in front of the Queen Mother.
The Empress Dowager picked up a ruby phoenix tail and shook it in a golden step, her face immediately turned iron-blue, and her eyes widened with anger, and even the others were shocked.
Ning Guifei herself also opened her eyes in disbelief and said, "Your Majesty, this ......"
"Concubine Ning is so bold and bold that she actually rewarded this royal gift to the slaves and maids of the miscellaneous department." Ye Lanxin sneered and said slowly.
Ning Guifei frowned anxiously, shook her head and said, "Your Majesty, this step of shaking the concubines for a long time is definitely not rewarded by the concubines. ”
"According to the words of the concubine Niangniang, do you admit that you have something to do with this cheap maid?" Liang Anze asked meaningfully.
Ning Guifei suddenly realized, and found that no matter what she said, she was at a loss, her eyes widened with anger, and now she could only change the topic, pointing at Concubine Yang and saying, "Are you a slut slandering this palace?" ”
Concubine Yang's eyes widened in horror, and she said aggrievedly: "The concubine must be cautious in her words and deeds, don't wronged the concubine." ”
"The queen mother, the emperor, this step has been lost for a long time, and the concubines don't know why they came to Qiu Wanshu's place." Ning Guifei explained, even if she knew that it might be useless to explain it.
"Qiu Wanshu stabbed her sister, and now the concubine's step is also with her, and now that the East Window incident has happened, I want to clear up the relationship after a long loss?" Su Muzhi asked indignantly, chuckling coldly.
"Ning Guifei Niangniang, where did Zhaohua offend you, please tell Zhaohua, Zhaohua will definitely correct it." Seeing this scene, Su Mulian pursed her mouth pretending to be aggrieved, and said with tears in her eyes, "Please also ask the concubine to spare Zhaohua's life." ”
"Zhaohua doesn't want to die...... Su Mulian lowered her head and wiped away the tears she had left.
Su Muzhi hurriedly took Su Mulian's hand and said solemnly: "Sister, you used to protect me, and now I will protect you well, as long as I am here, I will never let anyone bully you." ”
Hearing these words, Su Mulian was very moved.
Ning Guifei saw that the two sang and harmonized, and she was already at a loss, so she was so angry that she couldn't speak.
"If it weren't for Leader Lin to come to the rescue, I'm afraid my sister's life would have been lost in your hands!" Su Muzhi then said.
Ning Guifei also understood that all the conspiracy she had designed finally allowed herself to get into it, and smiled self-deprecatingly, but despite this, she still couldn't admit it.
"Qiu Wanshu, so far, haven't you told the mastermind behind the scenes?" The queen mother's sharp eyes stared at the trembling slave maid, and whispered.
"Slave maid...... The slave maid ...... "Qiu Wanshu, who seemed to be worried about something, stammered and never said anything.
Su Mulian knew the routine of the harem court drama, so she smiled softly and kindly reminded: "If you say it, your family may still be saved, after all, today's events will not be spread outside the palace walls......"
"If you are still obsessed, let alone your parents, brothers and sisters, maybe your loved ones will also die because of you." Su Mulian reminded slowly, "Do you think the emperor will save your life, or the person behind your scenes." ”
"Slave maid ......" Qiu Wanshu was entangled for a few seconds, "It was Concubine Ning who instructed the slave maid!" ”
Her words were expected by everyone, Ning Guifei's eyes widened in shock after hearing this, and she tried to struggle, stood up and hurriedly walked in front of Qiu Wanshu, slapped it, and scolded angrily.
"You cheap maid dare to slander this palace, saying, who instructed you? What good will it do you to harm this palace to death? ”
Ning Guifei's thief shouted to catch the thief, which made people feel like a clown jumping off the beam.
"What do you mean by the concubine? There are so many people present, and no one in this palace maid slanders you, the noble concubine of your mother's family? Liang Anze snorted coldly and said meaningfully.
"You ...... How could my mother assassinate Su...... What about Sister Zhaohua? Someone must have slandered my mother! Liang Shaoyuan, who was anxious and red-eyed, hugged Ning Guifei and said.
"The fifth brother is really simple, the facts are in front of you, is it possible that everyone colluded to wronged the concubine?" Liang Anze asked rhetorically.
"Concubine Niangniang, now that the matter is over, the slave can only protect herself." Qiu Wanshu said with a low sob.
Ning Guifei, who is immortal in her thieving heart, is still struggling meaninglessly: "It must be that you stole the things of the palace to frame the palace, what is your purpose!" Hongu will not let you go. ”
But Ning Guifei's various reactions were just annoyance and anger in everyone's eyes.
"Concubine Ning, everyone has stolen goods, what else do you have to explain?" Liang Guang, who held back his anger, asked in a low voice.
Ning Guifei knelt on the ground, looked at Liang Guang with tears in her eyes, cried and twitched in a low voice, and said softly: "Your Majesty, the concubine has served you for more than 20 years, and there is no merit and hard work!" How could a concubine ......?"
"Ning Guifei Niangniang, so far, are you still unrepentant? If it hadn't been for Chief Lin to protect Zhaohua in time, I'm afraid Zhaohua would have died a long time ago! Su Mulian's emotions suddenly became agitated and asked.
"Father, you must reward the forest leader well!" Su Mulian proposed, and then became surprised, looked left and right, and wondered, "Where is Chief Lin?" ”
Immediately after, only Concubine Yang's slow voice was heard adding.
"Speaking of which, the personal maid of the noble concubine Niangniang is gone......"
