Chapter 134: It seems to be a way out, but it is a trap
At this moment, the maid of the East Palace couldn't bite her tongue and commit suicide immediately, she had no choice but to be restrained by someone, and she couldn't even use the strength to pull out the dagger on her shoulder, let alone bite off her tongue, in front of everyone, if she didn't give an explanation today, she must implicate the princess!
Although Zhen Mo gave her an explicit indication in her words - and the Confucian lady, she will go one step further, but this statement is not so easy!
She can't fabricate a person behind her out of thin air, she just gritted her teeth and kept silent, she will not be trusted by others!
The crown princess must not be discussed and questioned!
At this time, she thought of the princess's previous instructions, and couldn't help but look at Zhen Mo-
If it really can't be turned around, that's the way it can be.
Yi Jing has been paying attention to the expression of the maid in the East Palace, of course, she didn't miss her gaze on Zhen Mo's yin side, and her heart sighed slightly-as Brother Feng expected, the crown princess had already prepared a way back, and if there was no turnaround, Zhen Mo would be held responsible.
In this way, it is inevitable that Zhen Mo will be ruined today.
So what to do now is to cause the crown princess to have to sacrifice Zhen Mo to protect herself, and she had an agreement with Yu Feng before, because she guessed that Zhen Mo in addition to the maid of the East Palace, maybe she would arrange for the future, in order to ensure that it is proper, let Ash Du follow the maid of the East Palace, if there is no accident, Ash Du has already returned at this time, but Ash Du is still nowhere to be seen, indicating that they are not bad.
According to Yu Feng's speculation, the crown princess is cautious, if you want to arrange the future, she must be a person who trusts her wholeheartedly, this person can only be the secret guard of the East Palace, most of the secret guards are dead, no family relatives, and the identity is obscure, but it does not mean that there is no trace - especially the secret guard of the East Palace, since he can enter and leave the palace, of course, there is a preparation in the guard, if he commits suicide by taking poison, even if he leaves the whole corpse, but there is no proof of death, and he cannot testify against the princess, but if he leaves a living mouth, it is a fatal threat to the princess.
If it is a dead body, the princess may quibble, it is someone else who kills it and then blames it, but if it is a living mouth, the theory of "blame" will be self-defeating, and the princess can only clear the suspicion by pushing Zhen Mo out of the guilt.
Let's say that Gray Du didn't see anyone at this time, either he didn't capture the secret guards of the East Palace on the spot and pursued him out of the garden, or he had already captured it, and he was waiting for the order of the prince to bring people to the scene at the most appropriate time.
Yi Jing couldn't figure out what was going on in the gray crossing, so he inquired with his eyes and asked for Yu Feng's opinion.
The prince bowed slightlyββ
Yi Jing raised her eyebrows and asked Aunt Ru with a smile: "My aunt knows this maid, do you know if she was trusted by the princess in the past?" β
As soon as these words came out, Zhen Mo was shocked again, she vaguely felt that Yijing had swept away the normalcy today, this cardamom girl, innocent and ignorant, was actually aggressive, and wanted to put her in a Jedi!
"The reason why I know this maid is because the crown princess and the queen mother usually greet each other, and this person is often with them." For example, my aunt also felt that today's events were not trivial, and it seemed that Yijing and Shizi had already prepared, and while being surprised, she answered truthfully.
"In this way, this maid is very trusted by the princess...... Yi Jing thought thoughtfully: "So, why did the princess suddenly give this maid to Ah Mo?" It's very strange and suspicious. β
"Ah Jing, because I said earlier, these days, Kyoto is not very peaceful, my sister just let the maid who has learned martial arts around me temporarily follow me, what is suspicious?" Zhen Mo was very anxious in her heart, and she was in chaos.
She naturally understands her own sister, and knows that if things don't change, she can only bear the consequences by herself - even if her mother is present, in order to protect the crown princess, she will not take care of herself.
"Dare to ask Amo, but the crown princess took the initiative to give it to you?"
Zhen Mo hesitated slightly, but she really didn't understand the intention of Yijing, and replied with reservations: "My sister intends to give me a close attendant, I looked at this maid and begged for it." β
"Dare to ask Ah Mo, when was this maid given?"
After hesitating again, Zhen Mo faintly felt that this was a trap, and secretly thought that since her aunt was present, lying on this issue would be easily exposed, so she replied stubbornly: "About ten days ago." β
"In the past ten days, this maid has been following Ah Mo's side?"
"Naturally." Zhen Mo became more and more weak-hearted.
"Ah Mo is in the boudoir, and if she wants to come here, she doesn't have much chance to contact others, how can she be bought by someone for ten days, and she will discuss such a vicious plan."
Sure enough, it turned out that she was waiting here, Zhen Mo snorted coldly: "Maybe she has already been bought, it's not impossible." β
"What a coincidence!" Yijing smiled: "Because of the death case in the suburbs of Beijing, the crown princess was not at ease, so she decided to arrange a close attendant beside Ah Mo, but this is still the princess's very trusted maid, but it was Ah Mo who you asked for it personally, but the princess believed the wrong person, Ah Mo, you also picked the wrong person......
The three of them actually caused several noble ladies to laugh uncontrollably, and Zhen Mo's face suddenly turned pale.
Seeing that the maid of the East Palace was frightened, Yijing glanced at the Wen lady who was at a loss: "It's just that the maid of the Wen Mansion lost her hand today and soiled Ayin's dress, so that this maid seized the opportunity to 'falset' Amo's words and wanted to seek Ayin's life." β
This one is even more meaningful.
Wen's lady suddenly turned pale.
Yijing stopped at the point, his eyes moved to the bloodstained palace maid, and asked, "The two eunuchs were injured by this maid?" According to what my aunt said, both of them were well-trained close attendants, and they were still injured with two enemies and one, which shows that this maid's martial arts are really good. β
"This maid has an accomplice." When the palace maid saw the beautiful scenery and asked, she no longer hid it.
This sentence once again caused a lot of discussion.
"Oh? Does the eunuch know who the conspirators are? Yijing asked again.
"We don't know the identity of that person, but he is wearing a long sword and ambushing in the shadows, obviously he has an agreement with this maid, thanks to the help of the guards around the prince, he was captured......"
It's the prince of Chu again!
Zhen Mo secretly gritted his teeth, and was sure that Yijing and Shizi would be "the same party", so it was inevitable that she couldn't help but be anxious, and blurted out: "I don't know why the guards around Shizi went to that remote place, it's too much of a coincidence." β
"Amo is in the field, how do you know that Ayin's distress is in the middle of nowhere?" Yijing found a flaw again and asked lightly.
Zhen Mo was stunned: "I heard what the two eunuchs said earlier, she was coaxed by this maid to go elsewhere, she wanted to do things that murdered people, so she naturally had to avoid people's eyes, I guessed like this, but I don't know why the prince's guards also followed?" β
Yu Feng's expression remained unchanged, and he seemed to feel that this question was very reasonable, and shook his head: "Two eunuchs, where is my guard now?" Since the accomplice was captured, why did he disappear? β
"The assassin has a poisonous sac in his mouth, and he is a dead man, and the governor of the prince's guard is very important, and he is torturing that man."
When Yijing heard this, he was very happy in his heartβin this way, Gray Ferry actually caught a living mouth!
Of course, Zhen Mo was shocked!
It is still possible for an East Palace maid to be bought, if there is another East Palace secret guard......
"In this case, if there is a message from Eunuch Lao, let my guards lead the assassin to the scene, Zhen Siniang can question in public if he has any questions." Yu Feng smiled slightly: "I just watched the little ladies bow wonderfully, and I didn't pay attention for a while, and the guards around me actually deserted." β
Things have come to this point, the maid of the East Palace has obviously given up struggling, and the eyes on the yin side are looking at Zhen Mo again, only to keep silent, but in his heart, even if he wants to admit the crime, he has to wait for the secret guard to be present, so that he can collude with confessions.
This time, Zhen Mo didn't miss the maid's cold gaze, and her heart was fierce.
But she was powerless.
When Ash Du came to the scene with a dark guard with a face like ashes, Zhen Mo's last glimmer of hope collapsed, and she was even more shaky, even the Wen lady was pale, and she had already fallen into the chair and was unable to stand.
"Ashra, what the hell is going on? Why did you leave the field suddenly, and what you witnessed, and I don't go into details. Yu Feng pretended to be puzzled, rubbed his brows, and glanced at Zhen Mo: "Zhen Siniang suspects that you are conspiring with others and wants to blame the princess, if you don't explain well, I, who is the master, am afraid that I will also be suspicious." β
These words sound calm and clear, and they are quite serious.
almost forced Zhen Mo into a dilemma.
If the guards of the prince of Chu are strange, the two palace maids around the queen mother must also be accomplices, and it may not matter if you question the prince of Chu, but if you question the queen mother......
Gray Du was inexplicable, and his face was black and solemn, and at this time it was even more impermanent, and he glared at Zhen Mo: "The subordinates were bored because they felt that they were bored, and they wanted to go to the garden for a few laps...... Later, I saw Dong Niangzi and the two eunuchs coming over with a maid, and the maid suddenly became angry and wanted to assassinate the eunuch......"
The story of the gray ferry is no different from what the palace maid said.
"Zhen Siniang still has doubts?" Yu Feng asked with a smile.
She has a question - the secret guard of the East Palace was obviously ambushed at the scene of the murder before everyone arrived, where would Ash Du "hang out" to find out the whereabouts of the secret guard! - But this question can only rot in the stomach, and it cannot be questioned.
However, at this time, Zhen Mo had already gritted her teeth with hatred for Yijing and Yu Feng, and before she could think about it, she blurted out: "Just the words of this guard can't prove whether the prince is innocent or not." β
"In this way, Ah Mo is suspicious that the prince and the queen mother want to trap the crown princess at a disadvantage?" Yi Jing was surprised: "Mo, how dare you ......"
Suddenly, he seemed to think of something, and smiled slightly: "Since Ayin was in distress, Amo, you are very anxious, at first I suspected that I was colluding with Ayin and blaming you, and later said that this maid was bought, and when I saw that this maid was not worried about her life for the time being, I actually suspected the son of the world and the queen mother...... Are you so panicked, but you want to cover it up? β
"Su Wuniang, you don't want to spew blood!" Zhen Mo was already angry.
"I'm afraid it's not me, right?" Yijing turned his head and asked Gray Du again: "Can this person explain the truth?" β
Ash Du sneered: "This person is a dead soldier, born with a pair of iron and steel teeth, naturally he will not open his mouth easily, but his subordinates found something on him." β
Immediately revealed, it turned out to be a piece of green satin!
Someone exclaimed: "Is this person the real murderer of a serial murder!" β
Zhen Mo wants to set up a mystery, of course, she has to prepare a "murder weapon", the maid is in front of everyone, it is inconvenient to hide this thing, the safest way is, of course, to hide the green satin in the arms of the secret guard at the ambush scene.
"This assassin turned out to be the murderer of multiple murders!" Yijing was also "shocked": "In this way, I'm afraid that I have to notify Shuntianfu!" β
This "possibility", of course, is "not in the "prediction" of Yijing and Yu Feng, if it is not for the early knowledge of the future, just speculation, Zhen Mo's plan cannot be clear to this point.
In addition to confusing others, Yijing's "surprise" also includes Yu Feng.
Shizi watched her act in public, the corners of his mouth trembled slightly, and he had to cover it with his fist again: "Since that's the case......"
The maid of the East Palace couldn't hold back anymore - if this matter really went to Shuntian Mansion, it would definitely be boiling, and the identity of the secret guard naturally couldn't be kept secret, and those officials and imperial histories would definitely use the topic to play, she gritted her teeth, and finally glanced at Zhen Mo again-
"It's just a misunderstanding!"
The Wen lady, who had been paralyzed in the chair for a long time, suddenly made a sound.
She held the maid's hand, stood up weakly, her face was so pale that she didn't see half of the blood, and blamed Zhen Mo: "I said it earlier, even if Ayin treats her cousin a little coldly, and she doesn't know what to do, she is only alienated, why do you have to come up with such a way to trick her, you are paranoid and vain." β
These words once again stunned everyone on the spot!
In the current scene, even the Wen lady came out to testify against Zhen Mo, so today's incident must be Zhen Mo's arrangement.
This seems to be turning around for Zhen Mo, but in fact, the Wen lady betrayed Zhen Mo for self-preservation!
Yijing smiled slightly, teasing? It's really a clever excuse for turning big things into small things and small things into small things.
She asked a question just now, the purpose was to make Zhen Mo and the others mess up, at this time, it seemed that it had already worked, the Wen lady finally couldn't hold her breath, and the maid of the East Palace obviously couldn't last long.
Seeing that Zhen Mo's pale face turned red again, and looking at the Wen lady's gaze like an ice cube, Yijing shook his head and suddenly realized: "Ah Mo really wants to play tricks on Ah Yin?" β
