Chapter 241: Refusing to Confess
Before Concubine Su De could react, she had already seen Donglai walk into the flower hall, he bowed down and saluted respectfully: "The slave greets the two mothers." ”
Donglai stood up, lowered his hand and bowed slightly: "Niangniang suddenly called the slave over, do you have any instructions?" I just heard the little eunuch say that Niangniang found something that could be related to this matter? ”
Dong said, looked sideways at Concubine Su De, who was trembling slightly, and lowered her eyelids smoothly.
Shen Yunzhen smiled slightly, and said to Dong: "My father-in-law came just in time, and there is something in this palace that I don't understand, so I specially asked my father-in-law." ”
"Mother, please speak." Donglai bent down.
"This palace is a little unclear, what crime should be punished according to the law of Daqi for murdering the emperor's heir?" Shen Yunzhen asked.
Concubine Su De trembled more and more, she had been ordered to take charge of the palace rules, these rewards and punishments or something, she couldn't understand it better.
Donglai was a little puzzled, thinking that Concubine Su De had committed something, so he whispered to Shen Yunzhen: "Niangniang, what happened?" ”
Shen Yunzhen glanced at Liu February, and Liu February, who understood, sent the two matching musk in his hand to Donglai.
"Father-in-law, please see, one piece was used by the hairpin in the past, and the other piece was used," Liu Eryue paused, and then glanced at Concubine Su De: "It was turned out of Miss Zhixia's box." ”
When Donglai heard the name hairpin, he already knew that it was Shen Yun's miscarriage, and he said that the culprit of this matter was not already known? But Donglai subconsciously buckled the two pieces to each other, and his heart was groaning.
He never imagined that this would be the result, and hurriedly knelt down: "Please forgive the mother, it is the slave who neglected to supervise, please ask the mother to punish the crime." ”
When Concubine Su De saw that the two pieces of musk were tightly buttoned together, and even the size was exactly the same, she suddenly felt half cold in her heart. She suddenly remembered that a few times she walked into Zhixia's room, she felt that the girl had a strange expression, and seemed to be particularly eager to push her out. It's as if her room is a tiger's den in Longtan and can't stay for long.
Every time she felt strange, Zhixia smiled and said that it was because there were too many spices smoked in the room, and pregnant women couldn't touch them. The reason seemed to make sense, so she never doubted it, and now it doesn't seem to be so. Zhixia was worried that the musk in the room would emanate and damage her fetal gas, so she was not allowed to stay for a long time.
Shen Yunzhen said to Liu Eryue again: "Now that the people are dirty, you go to the court to bring Zhixia here, and the palace will ask her in person." ”
Liu February's answer, and as soon as he made a stick of incense, he led someone to tie Zhixia over. Zhixia was pushed by someone and fell to the ground, when she entered the door, she had already seen Concubine Su De seated, she couldn't help but feel sad, her nose was sore, and tears rolled down.
"Master, master!" She screamed one after another, but Concubine Su De's heart was broken, and the master and servant cried at each other.
"Zhixia, you tell me that things are not like this, you quickly explain to Concubine Chen!" Concubine Su De was crying and kneeling down, Zhixia didn't speak but cried, and the master and servant knelt and hugged each other.
Qingluo helped Concubine Su De to the side, and only then did Donglai glance at Zhixia: "Zhixia, how can there be musk in your box?" ”
Hearing Donglai ask her, Zhixia hurriedly stopped crying, gritted his teeth and said nothing.
On the way here, she had already thought clearly, if it was just a crime of stealing the bracelet, even if Shen Yun really put her to death, it would not affect Concubine Su De. But if the matter that caused Shen Yun's miscarriage is revealed, it will not only affect Concubine Su De, but also the entire Su family.
Donglai saw her with a dead duck's hard mouth, and couldn't help but be angry: "My father-in-law is asking you, why is there musk in your box, and who gave it to you?" ”
She swallowed her saliva and glanced at Donglai with hatred: "Is my father-in-law telling a joke?" How can I have musk? ”
"You're still hard-mouthed? It was clearly turned out of your suitcase! Liu February's couldn't help but interject.
"Mine that came out of my suitcase?" Zhixia sneered: "Bao Buqi was secretly stuffed in by any of you, intending to blame the slave maid." ”
"You're just a slave, who's going to blame you?" Donglai scolded: "If you tell the truth, you may confess and be lenient, otherwise, your fate will be worse than that of hairpins!" ”
"Haha," Zhixia laughed: "Yes, I am a slave, no one will calculate me, but I am not an ordinary slave, I am the palace maid in charge of Dingxiang Palace, and marrying me is equivalent to marrying my master." As for why you want to blame my master, hehe, my master is pregnant now, isn't it obvious? ”
"Don't talk to yourself," Donglai rolled up his sleeves, threatening posture: "If you dare to bite again, beware of the court punishment will make you live a life!" ”
"You are a very loyal slave," Shen Yunzhen stared indifferently into Zhixia's eyes: "You just asked this palace so earnestly not to hurt Sister Su's child, you said that Sister Su is so eager for a child." You know her thoughts, you know how she feels about to become a mother, but you killed the child in this palace in an instant. I trust you so much, even if you sow discord several times, this palace is in the way of Sister Su, and I haven't pursued it once. Now it's just for you to confess, and you have to splash dirty water on the head of this palace. ”
"Sister," Concubine Su De looked at Shen Yunzhen in distraction, but she couldn't say a word. Seeing that Shen Yun couldn't persuade her, she hurriedly looked at Zhixia: "What the hell is going on, you are talking!" ”
"Master!" Zhixia exclaimed: "What you haven't done, you just kill the slave and the maid, and the slave and the maid will not admit it." ”
"Could it be that Concubine Chen will wronged you?" Concubine Su De also raised her voice.
Her face became more and more pale, her body shook twice and fell into the seat, her face was full of tears, and she cried to Zhixia: "It's in vain that Bengong trusts you so much, but you do such a stupid thing that hurts others and yourself behind Bengong's back!" In vain, this palace tells you on weekdays to accumulate virtue and do good, and pray for the emperor in the womb, but you don't even pay attention to it, you are so hurtful, you are simply ......"
Halfway through Concubine Su De's speech, she couldn't help but feel dizzy, Zhixia cried to help her, and muttered to Concubine Su De.
Concubine Su De pushed away Zhixia painfully: "You still don't tell the truth, do you want to be angry with me before you are willing?" ”
Zhixia cried and panted, wiped his eyes and called out to his master. Concubine Su De was in pain and pushed Zhixia the shoulder, Zhixia knelt unsteadily and fell to the ground, tears falling all over her chest.
The more Zhixia cried, the more angry Shen Yunzhen became. She can hurt other people's flesh and bones, but she cherishes her feathers like this.
A knife has been hanging in Shen Yunzhen's heart for a long time, and she didn't want to look at the drama of a pair of masters and servants, so she coughed lightly and said, "Donglai, according to the laws of Daqi, how should the palace maid who murdered the emperor's heir be dealt with?" ”
