Chapter 256: I don't even know if I've been sold
"Back to the Queen Mother's words, exactly." Xue Ruolan replied obediently.
The Queen Mother's eyes raised slightly: "What are you doing to stun the palace maid?" ”
Xue Ruolan's face turned pale, and she blurted out: "It's not a courtier, a courtier hasn't done it." ”
Liu Qingluo's heart was not good, Xue Ruolan thought that as long as she didn't admit it, she would be fine, but in fact, looking at the Queen Mother's expression, it was clear that it was Xue Ruolan who knocked out the little cicada, and Xue Ruolan's blind denial would only make the Queen Mother more and more angry.
What should I do? Liu Qingluo's heart was anxious......
"Nonsense!" The Queen Mother roared angrily, "Are you a fool to be a mourner?" The facts are in front of you, the woman in the entire palace wearing yellow clothes and walking on the right is only you, this is what Qing'er and Xiao Cicada saw with their own eyes, is it difficult or they wronged you? ”
Sure enough, the Queen Mother has already decided.
Xue Ruolan was anxious, and hurriedly defended: "Queen Mother, it was Xie Qing who framed the courtiers, she had a grudge with the courtiers, she must have done it." ”
Xie Qing shook his head, Xue Ruolan couldn't speak very much, her words and deeds were rampant, she would say what she was grabbing, and she didn't think about it at all.
"Miss Xue, Xie Qing offended you somewhere, and you always put Xie Qing on trumped-up charges." Xie Qing sighed lightly, this emotion was really from the bottom of his heart, what hatred and what resentment, so that two people who don't know each other can become enemies.
Xue Ruolan's methods are really inferior, and Xie Qing feels that it is a waste to fight back against her.
"Since you think Xie Qing framed you, what about the little cicada? She is a palace maid in the Queen Mother's palace, and she doesn't know you, how can she frame you? Xie Qing raised his eyebrows and said.
The little cicada kneeling on the ground hurriedly said: "Queen Mother Mingjian, the slave maid is absolutely not mistaken, she is really a woman in yellow clothes." ”
"I'm not the only one in yellow...... Xue Ruolan felt weak, and muttered with her head slightly down.
Emperor Yongqing glanced at Gonggong Gao, who was the head of the inner house, and he must be comprehensive in everything.
Gonggong Gao bowed down and replied: "In addition to Miss Xue, there are three young ladies in yellow clothes at the palace banquet, namely the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, the Zhongshu Ling, and the Miss of the Ning'an Hou Mansion, but none of them have left the main hall. ”
In other words, even without Xie Qing's identification, just based on Xiao Cicada's words, it can be concluded that the person who stunned Xiao Cicada is Xue Ruolan.
Xue Ruolan's eyes shrank, and she hurriedly pointed at the little cicada and scolded: "You were bought by Xie Qing, you deliberately framed me!" ”
"The slave and maid are not, please ask the Queen Mother Mingjian, the slave and the maid are really not bought by the county lord, the slave and the maid really saw it, the Queen Mother Mingjian......" The little cicada hurriedly knelt and kowtowed.
"Obviously, you deliberately framed me, and you still begged the Queen Mother to see it, you ...... You're shameless! Xue Ruolan scolded.
Liu Qingluo couldn't help but cover her face, Xue Ruolan is really a pig-like teammate, does she know what she is talking about?
Obviously, Xue Ruolan knew what she was talking about, but she had never thought about it with her head, whether it was right or not.
"Presumptuous!" The Queen Mother was furious, "Why don't you say that the mourning family and Qing'er conspired to frame you?" ”
Xiao Cicada is a person in the Queen Mother's Palace, and she is also a second-class palace maid, past the Queen Mother's eyes, otherwise the Queen Mother would not have let her lead Xie Qing to change clothes, and the Queen Mother sent it must be someone she trusts.
Xue Ruolan questioned the little cicada, which was actually questioning the Queen Mother in disguise.
Xie Qing said lightly: "Miss Xue, telling lies in front of Your Majesty and the Queen Mother, this is bullying the king, what kind of crime is the crime of bullying the king, you have to think clearly." ”
The crime of bullying the king is not an exaggeration to kill the head.
Xue Ruolan suddenly felt that her whole body was weak, and she fell directly to the ground: "I...... I ......"
Stammered and speechless.
"In front of Your Majesty and the Queen Mother, you dare to call yourself me?" Xie Ru reprimanded sharply.
Xie Ru's words gave the Queen Mother a wake-up call, and the Queen Mother instructed the palace people: "Slap your mouth!" ”
Xue Ruolan's eyes glared at the boss, and her eyes were full of disbelief, "Queen Mother, I'm ...... Courtiers ......"
However, a grandmother on the side had already pulled Xue Ruolan aside and slapped her a few times, and suddenly Xue Ruolan's cheeks were swollen and high, and blood oozed from the corners of her mouth.
"Hit! Give the mourning family a hard beating! Without the orders of the mourners, it is not allowed to stop! "The Queen Mother is really angry.
Mama got the orders of the Queen Mother, and her subordinates naturally did not stop, and the strength increased a little more. The executions of the subordinates in the palace all looked at the face of the master, and apparently the queen mother angrily told them not to take it lightly, otherwise it would be a dereliction of duty.
The snapping sound kept sounding, Xue Ruolan's face was still intact except for her forehead, and everything else was already red and swollen, and her mouth was even more swollen, and even the wailing sound became a beep-woo, thinking that she couldn't speak.
"Queen Mother, please spare Sister Lan, she is young and ignorant, please ask the Queen Mother to have a lot, don't be like her, the courtiers ask the Queen Mother to be gracious." Liu Qingluo knelt on the ground and began to intercede for Xue Ruolan.
Liu Qingluo's tears fell, crying and begging: "Your Majesty, for the sake of Xue Jiaerlang's still fighting in the northwest, please spare Sister Lan, and beg Your Majesty to be merciful." ”
The situation in the northwest has not been stable recently, and the soldiers on the frontier are still needed to fight for their lives, which is said to the heart of Emperor Yongqing.
Emperor Yongqing waved his hand: "Okay, stop." ”
His Majesty spoke, and Mama didn't dare to disobey, so she stopped and quietly looked at the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother did not object, because Xue Ruolan was already seriously injured, and if she beat again, she would probably be disfigured.
"Cousin, woo woo woo ......" Xue Ruolan cried, in fact, everyone couldn't hear her clearly, but they could vaguely guess what she said.
Xie Qing obviously saw that Liu Qingluo breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but shake her head, Xue Ruolan probably thought that Liu Qingluo was really good to her and pleaded for her, but in fact this was not the case.
If Liu Qingluo had the heart to intercede for Xue Ruolan, she would have spoken a long time ago, and she didn't have to wait until now, Xue Ruolan couldn't say anything if she was beaten. According to the Xue family's service in the northwest, looking at this, Emperor Yongqing will definitely spare Xue Ruolan.
And Liu Qingluo didn't speak until now, for no other reason, just because she didn't want Xue Ruolan to be able to speak.
Emperor Yongqing glanced at Liu Qingluo, who was kneeling on the ground, lightly, "Miss Liu, your cousin knocked out the palace maid, do you know?" ”
"That's right, Miss Liu, the person who stunned the little cicada is your cousin, don't tell the mourning family that it's just a coincidence." The Queen Mother said angrily, "The mourning family has heard a lot of coincidences today. ”
Liu Qingluo and Xue Ruolan are cousins, so coincidentally, the younger sister stunned the palace people, and the elder sister also appeared in the same place, if there is no connection between them, the ghost doesn't believe it.
Liu Qingluo looked at Xue Ruolan, who was crying bitterly, bit her silver teeth, lowered her eyes and replied: "The courtier is guilty, the courtier just told a lie, and begged Your Majesty and the Queen Mother to give her sin." ”
"What lie?" Emperor Yongqing asked.
"Courtier, Sister Lan is the cousin of the courtier, and the courtier's mother has repeatedly explained that after entering the palace, the courtier must take a good look at Sister Lan and don't let her behave badly, so the courtier has been quietly following Sister Lan."
Liu Qingluo paused and continued: "But the courtier is a step late, Sister Lan has already knocked the cicada unconscious, and then walked away, the courtier thought that this was a palace banquet, if Sister Lan's behavior was known, she would definitely be punished, the courtier couldn't bear it, so she didn't expose her, originally wanted to wait here for the cicada to wake up, and then the courtier said no to the little cicada girl, and asked her to treat it as if it hadn't happened, who would have thought that the courtier was knocked unconscious, and ...... happened."
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, the courtiers were knocked out in the side hall, but the courtiers were worried about Sister Lan before, and they didn't tell the truth, so they begged Your Majesty and the Queen Mother to forgive them." When Liu Qingluo said, she couldn't stand on the ground.
When she said this, Xie Qing couldn't help but applaud Liu Qingluo, saying that she was thinking about her sister, but she accidentally hurt her kind sister.
Xue Ruolan looked at Liu Qingluo with a blank look, her eyes full of apologies.
It's all her, if she hadn't insisted on calculating Xie Qing, she wouldn't have asked her cousin to commit the crime of bullying the king.
Xie Qing saw Xue Ruolan's expression in her eyes, and couldn't help but shake her head, the real stupid girl is only Xue Ruolan, Xie Ru uses her, Liu Qingluo also uses her, but she doesn't know anything about herself.
"Then according to Miss Liu, you are innocent, what happened to you was framed, and this person is either me or the eldest sister Xie Ru?" Xie Qing's tone was light, so that people couldn't hear any emotion.
Xie Ru frowned, secretly scolded Xie Qing for being treacherous in her heart, and pulled her in by force.
Liu Qingluo said in a low voice: "What Qingluo said is true, in the end, Qingluo calculated Qingluo, Qingluo can only guess, but the county lord has one less possibility." ”
Liu Qingluo suppressed the hatred in her heart, and raised her eyes to look directly at Xie Qing: "The sisters of the Xie family conspired and calculated Qingluo, and it is unknown. ”
The driving force behind it is Xie Ru, and Xie Qing is the person who does it, these two people Liu Qingluo hate them to the core, if they can pull Xie Qing and Xie Ru into the water at one time, Liu Qingluo feels that this is the best.
The corners of Xie Qing's lips raised slightly, but unfortunately Liu Qingluo, your wish can't be realized.
"Big sister, now that Miss Liu doubts you, won't you defend yourself?" Xie Qing didn't defend himself, but set his eyes on Xie Ru.
Xie Qing also winked at Xie Ru, a pair of bright eyes as if to say: Big sister, I will see you perform later.
Xie Ru almost bit a mouthful of silver teeth, she didn't want to get involved at all, according to the plan, she should be secretly observing, everything should be in her plan, she quietly told Xue Ruolan the news that Xie Qing would get drunk as soon as she drank pear blossom white, she was sure that Xue Ruolan would tell Liu Qingluo about this matter, and Liu Qingluo would calculate Xie Qing, and when the time came, she would not have to calculate Xie Qing by herself, but instead won over Liu Qingluo, killing two birds with one stone.
But now it is clear that the person who kills two birds with one stone is Xie Qing, not her Xie Ru.
Xie Qing also pushed everything to her, Liu Qingluo already hated her, and she had to distinguish for herself.
