Chapter 948: Eclipse Rice (2)
Xie Mingxi walked in unhurriedly.
A scene in the dining room came into view.
Sheng Hong's face was full of anger, Empress Dowager Yu's expression was stiff, and Yu Yan knelt on the ground and wept aggrievedly. Several palace maids also knelt on the ground, and Yu Qiao's face was not half bloody.
Xie Mingxi invisibly hooked the corners of his mouth, with a puzzled look on his face, and stepped forward at a faster pace: "Queen Mother, Emperor, what happened?" Why are Yu Qiao and the others kneeling here? And Miss Yu Jiu, why are you kneeling here? ”
Empress Dowager Yu had a gloomy face and did not speak.
Sheng Hong snorted, his face was angry, and he explained the truth of the matter in a few words.
Xie Mingxi's face sank, anger swelled in his eyes, and his voice was full of coldness: "There is such a bold and absurd thing in the palace, if it spreads, the emperor will become a laughing stock for everyone." Even this palace will be laughed at by everyone. ”
"This matter, this palace must be strictly investigated to the end!"
Yu Qiao's face turned pale, and the strength of his whole body seemed to be drained, and the whole person almost fell to the ground.
Yu Yan didn't cry anymore, wiped her tears with her sleeve indiscriminately, and hurriedly raised her head: "I didn't know about this matter from beginning to end. Please the queen mother! ”
Xie Mingxi glanced at Empress Dowager Yu intentionally or unintentionally, and said with a smile: "Oh? You really don't know? ”
No matter how deep and thick-skinned the Empress Dowager Yu is, she also feels a little hot behind her ears at this time.
Can't let Xie Mingxi talk about it anymore!
Otherwise, her old face today would have been completely trampled underfoot.
Yu Yan was still hurriedly defending: "Queen Mother, I really don't know anything......"
"Sister Yan'er, don't be impatient." Empress Dowager Yu suddenly opened her mouth and interrupted Yu Yan: "The truth of the matter will be known after a careful trial of Yu Qiao." What you haven't done, no one will wronged you. ”
Then, Empress Dowager Yu looked at Yu Qiao and said, "Yu Qiao, you have done a big wrong thing today. Fortunately, someone found it in time and stopped it, otherwise, you would not be sorry to die. ”
"Who told you to do this? You tell the truth. If you are forced to do so, the mourning family will definitely make decisions for you. ”
The implication in this remark is full of meaning.
Yu Qiao's heartbeat suddenly skipped a beat, and she looked up at Empress Dowager Yu.
Empress Dowager Yu glanced at Yu Qiao deeply.
Yu Qiao's face turned paler and lowered her head slightly.
……
Xie Mingxi took in this scene, and a sneer overflowed from the corner of his mouth.
However, she did not expose it, but followed the words of the Empress Dowager Yu and said: "The queen mother is reasonable. Yu Qiao, if you confess honestly, the death penalty can be avoided. Who have you been instructed to do today's events? ”
Yu Qiao's breathing was a little short, and she subconsciously glanced at Yu Yan.
Yu Yan is still a fifteen-year-old girl, she was pampered and raised up, and she has not been deeply involved in the world, and she doesn't know how sinister and desolate people's hearts will be.
Yu Qiao looked over, Yu Yan didn't know what it meant, and looked back in a daze.
Yu Qiao gritted her teeth, lowered her head and cried: "The slave deserves death!" Slaves and maidservants should not covet silver and gold, and do such foolish things under the command of others. ”
After speaking, he kowtowed three times at Yu Yandong, cried and said, "Miss Nine, the slave can't stand you." But now, the slave and maid can't hide it if they want to......"
Yu Yan: "......"
Yu Yanru was struck by lightning and looked at Yu Qiao in disbelief: "You...... What nonsense are you talking about! I have never bribed you with silver or gold, nor have I commanded you to do such filthy things. How can you blame me for such things! ”
Yu Qiao said with a look of openness, red eyes: "Five days ago, Miss Nine specially asked me to go to the house to talk. At that time, there were only two people, Miss Nine and the slave maid. ”
"Miss Nine is in love with the emperor and wants to be a palace concubine. However, the emperor is full of queen mothers, and he has never looked at Miss Nine with his eyes. In order to fight for the status of a palace concubine and the favor of the emperor, Miss Nine came up with such an idea. ”
Miss Nine rewarded the slave and maid with a thousand taels of silver, and instructed the slave and maid to act in secret. The slave and maid were momentarily dazzled by the silver, and answered. This medicine was also given to the slave by Miss Nine. ”
"Miss Nine has said and done, you can't deny it!"
Yu Yan: "......"
This basin of sewage was splashed on her alive!
Yu Yan was anxious and angry, aggrieved and frightened, but her mouth was far inferior to Yu Qiao's slippery. In a hurry, his mouth turned over and over "I'm not" and "I didn't".
Sheng Hong and Xie Mingxi looked gloomy, obviously not believing her explanation.
Yu Yan was so anxious that she cried and kowtowed to the Empress Dowager Yu repeatedly: "Auntie, I really didn't do such a thing. ”
"When I went to Yuqiao's house that day, I only gossiped with her a few words, and I didn't give her any money at all, let alone instruct her to do such a ridiculous thing."
"Ask my aunt to be the master of Yan'er......"
Empress Dowager Yu's heart, which was hanging in the air, quietly fell.
Yu Qiao was quite clever, and when she saw that the situation was not good, she pushed everything on Yu Yan. In this way, she will be able to take it out of the matter.
As for Yu Yan...... It didn't come in handy after being raised in the palace for two years, so it was just used as a shield.
Empress Dowager Yu naturally piled up anger on her face, and scolded angrily: "Sister Yan'er, the mourning family treats you well, and you have done such a ridiculous act, which is despicable and disgraces the mourning family. ”
"The mourning family must not spare you!"
"Someone! Immediately go to Yu's house and summon the Zhou family into the palace. From today on, you will go back to Yu's house with the Zhou family. Without the will of the mourning family, you must not leave the Yu family for half a step.
Yu Yan: "......"
Yu Yan was full of grievances and burst into tears.
Since she was thirteen years old, she was summoned to the palace to accompany Empress Dowager Yu. Everyone in the Yu family knows that she will become a palace concubine sooner or later, and even outsiders think so.
Empress Dowager Yu opened her mouth and drove her back to Yu's house. As soon as someone inquires, they can detect the movement in the palace. This stigma will ruin her life.
No matter how stupid she is, she has guessed the truth now.
This is clearly what Empress Dowager Yu did!
Yu Qiao, under the hint of Empress Dowager Yu, deducted this basin of sewage on her head.
……
Yu Yan wanted to shout the truth desperately. But as soon as she looked up, what she saw was Empress Dowager Yu's gloomy and cold eyes. Those eyes were like two sharp knives. Inch by inch shaved across her face.
She shuddered involuntarily. When it came to his lips, the angry shout stopped.
She is out of the way, what will her father and mother and brother do?
Empress Dowager Yu shocked Yu Yan with her gaze, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
In any case, this hurdle was barely passed.
Sheng Hong and Xie Mingxi watched coldly and watched enough of the show.
Empress Dowager Yu couldn't calculate, but folded her niece into it. When Yu Yan, whose reputation was damaged, was sent back to the Yu family, the Yu family had no face to send people into the palace.
There is also Yu Qiao, the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped. Just took advantage of this opportunity to expel Yu Qiao from the palace. In the future, there will be no one available around Empress Dowager Yu.
It can be said that stealing chickens is not a recipe for rice!
