Chapter 416: Reasonable Doubt
Speaking of which, what happened in the palaces basically can't be hidden, and Concubine Hui sent her grandmother to Jingwang's mansion, and she, the queen of the main palace, is also clear.
Concubine Hui is King Jing's biological mother, and it is reasonable for her to care so much about Princess Jing's innocence, not to mention that she has not done anything out of the ordinary in addition to this, so the queen should not know anything about it.
But now there are two lives, and the core of the matter is related to Princess Jing's innocence, which has to cause Queen Jiang to think deeply!
"Sister Huifei came here, but what do you have to say?"
Hearing the news for no reason, it must be impossible to just watch the excitement!
Chu Peijin silently put her eyes on Concubine Hui's body.
Prior to this, although Chu Peijin had a close relationship with Jing Yan, he had never really come into contact with his biological mother, Concubine Hui.
Compared with Queen Jiang, Concubine Hui's appearance is slightly above her, and her gentle and graceful face combined with her quiet temperament makes her look quite different.
It can be seen that Jing Yan's appearance is more like Concubine Hui, except that the silhouette is inherited from the emperor, and the eyebrows, eyes and lips are like seven or eight points.
Yes, Chu Peijin looked at Concubine Hui with a faint sense of intimacy.
Concubine Hui glanced at Chu Peijin with complicated eyes, and said, "The concubine came here because I heard that it was about Princess Jing, so I came to find out." ”
Chu Peijin lowered her eyes, not looking at Concubine Hui's eyes without a trace of concern, but Empress Jiang's gaze stayed on her body for a moment and then turned away.
"In that case, Xi'er, you can tell Concubine Hui what happened again!"
"Yes, Queen Mother!"
The sixth princess's mood had basically calmed down at this time, and she said it again according to what she had just said to the queen mother, and added Chu Peijin's words that made people feel disgusting to hear!
Sure enough, the corners of Empress Jiang's mouth twitched, and she subconsciously looked at Concubine Hui, only to find that Concubine Hui's face changed very quickly and returned to her previous calm and clear air.
Empress Jiang was a little emotional, but it was rare to see Concubine Hui's face change, although Princess Jing's words were a little ugly......
A grandmother following behind Concubine Hui frowned and couldn't help retching lightly, her figure moved and Chu Peijin saw it, and she sneered in her heart!
Dare to stay at the door of the bedroom early in the morning and wait to take Yuanpa, not disgusting, how can she sulk once?
Concubine Hui frowned, turned to Chu Peijin, and said to her with a serious look: "You are now the princess of Jing, some things should be said and some things should not be said, you should have a sense of proportion in your heart, the sixth princess and the seventh princess and the eighth princess are all your sisters, if you teach them badly, how can you explain to their mothers?" ”
The sixth princess and the seventh princess glanced at each other, looking at Chu Peijin with some sympathy, would she feel sad to be reprimanded by her mother-in-law in front of so many people?
It turns out that the sixth and seventh princesses are thinking too much!
Chu Peijin raised her eyes and looked at Concubine Hui with a hint of a smile, and said: "The mother concubine is too worried, the sixth sister and the seventh sister have always been carefully raised by the queen mother, and when they say it, they are the most commendable and well-understood little masters in the entire Xishao, how can they learn badly because of their daughter-in-law's words?" ”
Besides, although the daughter-in-law said angry words at the time, it is also an indisputable fact! The matter of Yuanpa was passed by the hand of the grandmother into the palace, and nothing else should have been born, but it was rumored that the words that were unfavorable to the daughter-in-law were related to Yuanpa, if this matter had nothing to do with the grandmother, it seemed that it could not be said! ”
Hearing her say this, the grandmother standing behind Concubine Hui panicked, she hurriedly came over and knelt on the ground with a 'poof', and said, "Niangniang, please check clearly, the slave has really never passed a word out!" ”
Concubine Hui's face sank suddenly, "Mama Li, get up, this palace can send you to Jingwangfu, naturally I believe in you as a person, and this palace will naturally find out and give you justice!" ”
Then Mama Li gratefully kowtowed to Concubine Hui twice before she got up from the ground, turned around and threw herself at Chu Peijin's feet, and said, "The old slave really hasn't done anything unfavorable to the princess, please check it out to the princess!" ”
Chu Peijin glanced at her and said, "This concubine is also a reasonable suspicion, and there is no need to worry if Mama has not done it." What's more, this matter has been handed over to the queen mother, so let's wait until the truth is found out! ”
The implication is that whether you are suspicious or not is not up to you, you should check it or not!
Mama Li stiffened, and then she got up from the ground with an aggrieved face and slowly retreated behind Concubine Hui.
Concubine Hui looked at Chu Peijin with a calm face, and her previous good impression of her in the palace gradually faded! If she had been obediently taught just now, she might have liked this daughter-in-law, but now......
Concubine Hui pursed her lips, how long has it been since her son has been to her Yonghe Palace because of Princess Ziluo? This woman really has the potential to be in trouble......
The sixth princess and the seventh princess looked at Chu Peijin in surprise, and they didn't understand where she got the confidence to argue with Concubine Hui, that was the biological mother of the fourth emperor brother!
However, Queen Jiang felt a little surprised, she didn't expect that Chu Peijin wouldn't even give Concubine Hui face, but her maintenance of several princesses and respect for herself, the queen, made Queen Jiang's favor for her a little more!
Empress Jiang was thinking about saying something to ease the atmosphere, but she was relieved to see that Imperial Doctor Wang from the Tai Hospital was hurrying over with a suitcase!
At present, it is still necessary to figure out the cause of death of the two palace maids, and finding out the black hand behind the scenes is the key.
Imperial Physician Wang quietly glanced at Chu Peijin, reached out and stroked his mustache, and said to Queen Jiang: "Queen Mother, please Rong Weichen check it carefully!" ”
"Accurate!"
After the imperial physician got the word, he squatted down and examined it carefully, and then said affirmatively: "Queen Mother, both of them died of arsenic, and Wei Chen asserted that they should have eaten poison from the same thing not long ago. If you want a more detailed inspection, it is better to go to the criminal department and invite a servant to enter the palace to have a look! ”
"Please?" Empress Jiang frowned.
"Queen, why do you have to ask for help?"
The emperor's slightly majestic voice came, and Empress Jiang was startled, and hurriedly turned her head to pay respects!
"The concubine sees the emperor!"
"Son-in-law, see father!"
Chu Peijin and several princesses went over to salute together, and the surrounding palace maids and eunuchs knelt on the ground.
"Let's all be flat!"
The emperor raised his sleeves and his eyes fell on the two palace maids on the ground.
"What's going on?"
Chu Peijin pursed her lips and didn't speak, but her eyes fell on Jing Yan who came with the emperor, in addition to Jing Yan, several other princes also followed to the imperial garden.
Jing Yan saw that she was safe and sound, and gave her a reassuring smile, Chu Peijin's heart warmed, and she nodded at him slightly.
Over there, the sixth princess described the whole process of the incident for the third time, but this time she omitted Chu Peijin's sentence without mentioning a word.
Concubine Hui's gaze turned on the face of the sixth princess and then took it back, and this scene was seen by the seventh princess!
The seventh princess suddenly stepped forward and said: "Father, mother, son-in-law think that this matter must be someone behind their backs to instruct them to slander the reputation of the fourth emperor's sister-in-law, intended to discredit our royal family, son-in-law implores father and mother to investigate to the end, don't let the wicked succeed!" ”
Concubine Hui laughed lightly and said, "The Seventh Princess is quite protective of Princess Jing, when did you have such a good relationship?" ”
After Concubine Hui finished speaking, the whole scene suddenly fell silent!
