Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Truth Comes Out
As soon as Liu Ruoxin's words fell, there was silence in the hall, and when Nalan Zhi heard Liu Ruoxin's question, he suddenly felt that things were not so simple.
"Bring me the first person to find the doll."
Nalan Zhi sat on the throne of the dragon chair, waved his sleeves, and commanded the eunuch beside him.
After a while, the leader who took the lead in searching Liu Ruoxin's room was brought to the top of the main hall.
"Participation...... See the Emperor. ”
As if a catastrophe was about to come, the leader knelt on the hall with a trembling voice.
"When this palace asks you, you'd better answer truthfully." Liu Ruoxin stood beside Nalan Zhi, and then continued to ask: "When you searched for the voodoo puppet, it seemed that you knew that the puppet was under the bed, why did you hit it with one hit?" ”
When the leader heard Liu Ruoxin's inquiry, his body paused obviously, and he waited for a moment before he replied,
"Back to Concubine Liu's words, the slave ordered others to search elsewhere, and the slave was responsible for searching Niangniang's bedroom, just casually turned over the bed, and ...... I found the voodoo puppet. ”
The man spoke intermittently, as if he were talking while thinking.
"You're lying, I don't know if you remember, but Hongu was behind you when you searched."
Liu Ruoxin snorted coldly, isn't this obviously making up a reason to prevaricate.
"This palace can see it clearly, if you didn't know in advance that the puppet was hiding under the bed, why wouldn't you look for it anywhere else, and go straight to the place where the puppet is hiding?"
Liu Ruoxin's words are like sharp knife tips, and the person who blocked it didn't know how to explain it.
"Minions...... The minion was just lucky, and it just happened to be found all at once. ”
The person who found the doll buried his head even lower, and if it weren't for the quick successes at the time, maybe no one would have grabbed the handle now.
"Good luck? Even if it's a bed search, isn't the correct search just turning over the bed and then looking at the bottom of the bed? What's more, the puppet is hidden in the gap under the bed, such a hidden place, even the main palace doesn't know, how do you know? ”
Liu Ruoxin pressed forward step by step, and every word was fine. "Unless there are two possibilities, either you have seen someone hide this puppet somewhere, or you are the one who hid the puppet and wanted to frame the blame for this palace!"
Liu Ruoxin stood in front of that person, looking at him condescendingly, knowing that his words hit his heart.
"Concubine Liu spares her life, the emperor spares her life! Slave, slave is just jealous of Niangniang for a while, jealous of Niangniang's favor from the emperor, and the slaves around Niangniang also enjoy happiness, so I can't think about it for a while, and I want to marry Niangniang! ”
Seeing that the matter had been revealed, the man quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed desperately, and the blood seeping out of his forehead could be clearly seen.
"Still not telling the truth? You are a little minion, how can you have such great power? Say, who is behind you?! ”
Things are definitely not so simple, Liu Ruoxin knows that the person in front of him is just a poor and hateful scapegoat, but the real mastermind behind the scenes is still at large.
That person just kept kowtowing, repeating in his mouth that he wanted to frame Liu Ruoxin.
"Do you know that the crime of deceiving the king is to connect the nine clans?"
Liu Ruoxin knew that if he didn't use any means, I was afraid that this person would not confess easily.
"The emperor spares his life! Minions, minions are ......"
"Enough! Now that someone has admitted this matter, it is he who is jealous of you and blames you, and it has been revealed! ”
Just when the person on the ground was about to tell some important clues, the Queen Mother suddenly interrupted what he was about to say, "Come on, pull this person down, hit a hundred boards, and deal with it according to the palace rules!" ”
After saying that, he quickly dragged the person on the ground out.
Liu Ruoxin frowned, it seemed that the Queen Mother seemed to know the mastermind behind the scenes, but she was just deliberately partial.
"Your Majesty, there is an important military situation from the camp, and the emperor needs to make a decision."
A person who reported the military situation suddenly came in from outside the hall, and when Nalan Zhi heard it, he knelt down like the queen mother and left the palace.
"Concubine Liu, just stop these four words, you'd better keep it in mind and know a little better, some things are better not to know, if you know too much, it will be easy to cause trouble."
After watching Nalan Zhi walk away, the Queen Mother stared at Liu Ruoxin with sharp eyes, warning her both in and out of her words, that this matter no longer allowed her to continue to investigate.
"What the Queen Mother taught was that the concubines were taught. It's just that this is right and wrong, clear black and white, I think the queen mother should be more clear than the concubine. ”
Liu Ruoxin bowed his knees, and then saluted back.
"The mourning family has already said that this matter is over, Concubine Liu should not be ignorant of advance and retreat, and worry about it!"
When the Queen Mother heard Liu Ruoxin's words, she slapped the case with her left hand, and she could see that Liu Ruoxin was not a cowardly lord.
"The concubine suddenly remembered that there were still some things in the palace, and the concubine could not be accompanied, and the concubine retired."
Liu Ruoxin knew that if he continued to entangle and fight, it would do him more harm than good, and it was better to end it as soon as possible, so he casually found an excuse and returned to the Green Shade Palace.
After lunch, Nalan Zhi finished the government affairs in his hand, and then set up the Green Shade Hall to visit Liu Ruoxin.
"Today's incident, I know, it must not have been done by Concubine Ai."
Nalan Zhi held Liu Ruoxin's hand in his palm and kneaded it gently, feeling a little guilty for his little suspicion of her at that time.
"The emperor's trust in the concubines, the concubines are very pleased." Liu Ruoxin in turn grabbed Nalan Zhi's hand in the palm of his hand, and then looked at Nalan Zhi's eyes with a serious face.
"Your Majesty, you think, if the concubines didn't find the flaws in the search today, then this matter would definitely fall on the heads of the concubines, and if it was really dealt with according to the palace rules at that time, then the emperor wouldn't be able to see the concubines now." After speaking, a few crystal clear tears dripped from the corners of Liu Ruoxin's eyes, which aroused Nalan Zhi's pity and cherishing jade.
"I know that this matter is not so simple, and when the time comes, I will definitely give you justice."
Nalan Zhi patted Liu Ruoxin's hand to express comfort, if it weren't for the Queen Mother's face today, he wouldn't have just given up.
"Thank you for your grace." Liu Ruoxin heard Nalan Zhi's personal promise, and her heart suddenly relaxed a lot.
But he didn't notice that a sneaky figure outside the green shade hall ran out.
