Chapter 278: Pleading

Wei Lanlan was quite surprised when she heard this, and looked Li Zhaoyi up and down with her eyes, "You killed the person?" I can't see it, you actually have that ability, and you have been hiding behind the scenes and working against Wei Qingqing! ”

"Niangniang, you misunderstood, I didn't kill the person, and I wasn't the person behind the scenes," Li Zhaoyi said and paused, quietly glanced at Wei Lanlan, and then said hesitantly: "It was ...... who killed people."

"What?!" Hearing this, Wei Lanlan threw the teacup in her hand to the ground with an angry face, and looked at Li Zhaoyi's eyes with cold and cold eyes, "Li Huilan, you have eaten the bear's heart and leopard gall, and you dare to hook up with my people??! ”

"Mother's forgiveness!" It was the first time for Li Zhaoyi to see Wei Lanlan angry, and she was so frightened that she knelt on the ground again, "Niangniang, I know it's wrong......"

"But this is the case, only you can save us! I admit that my mother wants to beat and punish me, I just ask my mother to help us, don't let Wei Qingqing's slut find out about us! ”

Wei Lanlan looked condescendingly at Li Zhaoyi who was lying at her feet, and her chest rose and fell rapidly under the anger, how dare Li Huilan do this?! Dare to hook up with her behind her back!

The more Wei Lanlan looked at Li Zhaoyi, the more angry she became, and simply kicked her away, "Extremely stupid!" ”

"Mother's forgiveness! Mother's forgiveness! Li Zhaoyi didn't dare to say more, so she could only plead guilty.

Wei Lanlan took a deep breath, slowly calmed down her inner emotions, and after putting a kind mask on her face again, she slowly asked the whole story, "Say, what handle did you and him put into Wei Qingqing's hands?" ”

Li Zhaoyi saw that things had taken a turn for the better, and hurriedly said, "It's Yu Pei!" When I killed the tortoiseshell that day, I left our promise token near the rockery in the back garden in a panic! ”

Wei Lanlan snorted coldly when she heard this, and said with a smile: "There are also love tokens." ”

"Yes, he had to give it to me!" Li Zhaoyi hurriedly explained, and then feared that Wei Lanlan would be unhappy, so she hurriedly diverted the topic, "That day, we obviously transferred the corpse to the grove, and we also made the illusion that the tortoiseshell hanged itself, but Wei Qingqing's slut still found the back garden!" ”

"That Wei Qingqing is really evil! I've had no good fruit to eat with her a few times, and hasn't she solved a few cases in front of her? I'm really afraid she'll find out what we're looking for......"

"It's not just us who are unlucky, even you are likely to be implicated!"

"Mother, think of a way!"

"You can hate me, but save us for his sake!"

"Shut up!" Wei Lanlan made no secret of her disgust for Li Zhaoyi, "You know that Wei Qingqing is good at investigating cases, and you deliberately imitate the person behind the scenes to commit crimes?" Wouldn't you just find a well and throw it into it? It's stupid! ”

Li Zhaoyi stumbled and explained: "I, didn't we think of it for a while? Besides, that's his idea......"

She knew that only by pushing everything on the lover's head could she avoid Wei Lanlan's anger, and she pulled the lover out as a shield regardless of the moment, "He said that there have been people in the palace who have made waves and made a fuss about people's lives recently, as long as we disguise the tortoiseshell's death as the previous cases and let that person take the blame for us, no one will suspect us!" ”

"You didn't blame him for everything, and I would settle accounts with him!" Wei Lanlan was angry, but she couldn't sit idly by, and finally let go coldly, "For his sake, I'll help you deal with the aftermath for the last time!" ”

Li Zhaoyi heard this as if she had been granted amnesty, and knew that although Wei Lanlan's tone was not good, she had decided to save her!

She immediately found some good words to please Wei Lanlan, "Niangniang, you are the most kind-hearted!" I will only look at you for the rest of my life! ”

Wei Lanlan pondered for a moment and said, "The only way to do this is to cut through the mess quickly and close the case before Wei Qingqing finds out about you!" ”

Li Zhaoyi thought so, and looked at Wei Lanlan with a blank eye, "Then how can we understand it as soon as possible?" ”

Wei Lanlan's face was cloudy and uncertain, and she thought for a moment, and soon had an idea.

She first glared at Li Zhaoyi fiercely, and then summoned her confidant palace maid and instructed a few words, "Find a reliable person and let him ......"

The palace maid quickly took the order and left, Li Zhaoyi was a little confused about what kind of bureau Wei Lanlan was arranging, and couldn't help but ask: "Niangniang, how do you plan to save us?" ”

Wei Lanlan said two words lightly, "Guilt." ”

"Is Niang Niang trying to find someone to take the blame for us? Then you have to lay out more securely in this game, Wei Qingqing's slut is not easy to fool! Li Zhaoyi subconsciously instructed.

Wei Lanlan was noncommittal to Li Zhaoyi's words, and only closed her eyes to recuperate.

After about a stick of incense, the palace maid sent out by Wei Lanlan came back and replied, saying that Wei Lanlan's explanation had been completed.

When Wei Lanlan heard this, she put away her self-cultivation posture, slowly got up, and lightly instructed the palace people to drive Cining Palace, "I'll go to the Queen Mother!" ”

Wei Lanlan had already calculated very clearly in her heart, and as soon as she arrived at Cining Palace, she took the initiative to kneel in front of the Empress Dowager Xiaoduan and ask for guilt, "Queen Mother, the concubine is here to ask you for guilt, please punish it!" ”

Usually people who take the initiative to ask for sin, most of the mistakes they make are not big mistakes that cannot be forgiven, most of them are small mistakes that are not painful, and the so-called plea is just a formality.

Therefore, the Empress Dowager Xiaoduan was not surprised by Wei Lanlan's actions, she still had a loving smile on her face, and only a little more curiosity in her tone that she would have when she encountered something new, "Oh? Our so-called 'Living Bodhisattva' concubine Niangniang can also make mistakes? Come, come, tell the mourners what you did wrong? ”

Concubine Niangniang lowered her head in shame, and her tone was full of self-blame, "The concubine executed a palace maid." ”

"Did the palace maid make a mistake?" Empress Dowager Xiaoduan asked casually.

"It's not a big mistake, it's just a momentary gaffe to blaspheme the gods." Wei Lanlan seemed to be a little embarrassed, and only vaguely mentioned a few words, "The palace maid didn't know if she was suddenly stunned, and she actually said some foul language to the Bodhisattva worshiped by the concubine......"

"The concubine has been a vegetarian for many years and has never killed, and she has rarely punished the palace maid and eunuch for three years in the palace, if she was not really angry with the palace maid that day, she would not have ordered someone to punish her with paper."

The "paper punishment" in Wei Lanlan's mouth is a kind of punishment in the palace, also known as "sticking to the official".

During the execution, the prisoner will first control the prisoner on his back, then lift up a piece of prepared mulberry paper and cover the prisoner's mouth and nose, and then spray a burning knife, the mulberry paper will be soft and soft due to moisture, and immediately cover the face.
