Chapter 69: The Empress Dowager arrives

Yuehua groaned slightly, and then had a plan in her heart, and decided to make a dangerous move, and confidently ordered Xiangshen: "This matter can't be prevented, no wonder you." Go back and call all the palace people here, and by the way, get some purple dye from which we dye the embroidery thread. ”

Xiangshen didn't understand what it was for, but she had no master of the six gods at this time, and she had always obeyed Yuehua's words, so without saying a word, she got up and trotted all the way back to Qingqiu Palace. But after half a cup of tea, he ran over with a group of palace maids panting, lined up, silent, listening to Yuehua's reprimand.

Yuehua took the dye from Xiangshen's hand, paced in front of everyone, looked up and down, and smiled very kindly. The palace people intuitively felt a sense of oppression that the wind and rain were about to come, and they lowered their heads, trembling, and did not dare to take a breath of the atmosphere.

"Don't be nervous, this palace just wants to invite you to watch a trick."

Yuehua picked up a broken jade bottle from the ground, then shook the dye in her hand, and said with a smile: "The dye in my hand is the juice squeezed from the lichen moss, which has been finely processed. If you have dyed silk thread at home, most of you know that this purple dye can be mixed with lime water to make different shades of blue dye, I will show you. ”

After that, he dipped a little dye with his fingertips, and dripped it on the broken jade, and there was lime water left in it, which gradually stained and slowly changed color.

Some people in the palace felt strange, so they stretched their necks to look at the rarity.

"Today, someone added lime to this jade bottle, and after encountering water, the jade bottle was blown to pieces, but fortunately it did not cause disaster. From the beginning to the end, only you can come into contact with the jade bottle, and it goes without saying who did it. Has anyone taken the initiative to come forward and confess their guilt, or has someone in the know dare to expose it? ”

Everyone in the palace looked at each other, but no one made a sound.

Yuehua smiled on her face, her expression turned pale, and she snorted coldly: "On the first day you entered the Qingqiu Palace, the palace told you that it doesn't matter if you are lazy and slippery, but don't eat inside and out, and do anything to betray the palace, you all know the consequences." Xiangshen, take a basin of water. ”

Xiang Shen did as he said, and immediately the palace people in Jiaofang Palace helped bring the water over. Yuehua poured all the dye in her hand into the basin of water and stirred, and the whole basin of water immediately turned a light purple.

When she did these things, she was calm and calm, and she always had a smile on her face, which was unfathomable.

In order to prevent the dust from flying around, or to hide people's eyes and ears, the cuffs must cover the mouth of the bottle, and there will inevitably be contamination on the clothes. Even if it is patted cleanly, as long as there is a slight residue, it will be undoubted. This palace will give you one last chance, if you take the initiative to admit it, this palace will take care of the old feelings, and deal with it leniently, and the crime will not be as good as your family. ”

She walked gently to the palace people and said in a deep voice, "I only counted to three." ”

The palace people lowered their heads and didn't dare to look up, clutched their cuffs tightly, tightened their necks, and forced themselves to be calm.

"One."

There was silence in the palace, and a pin drop could be heard.

"Two."

Yuehua slowly paced in front of the palace people, carefully checked their reactions, and stood in front of a palace maid with a smile: "Yaose, do you still want to wait for the palace to count three?" ”

The palace maid named "Yao Se" was originally silent, but when she heard Yuehua directly call out her name, she immediately collapsed on the ground and kowtowed like pounding garlic: "The queen mother spares her life, spares her life!" ”

"Whether or not I can spare your life is not up to this palace, but yourself. Don't you confess honestly? Who instructed you to do this? ”

Yao Se crawled on the ground and trembled: "It's the slave and the maid who are obsessed with their own ghosts, and there is no one to instruct them, and the slave and maid are willing to accept the punishment, just begging the mother to spare the slave and the maid's family, right?" ”

Yuehua looked at Yao Se condescendingly, and the water in her eyes gradually froze, condensing into sharp ice picks, and shot directly through her disguise: "This palace has never beaten and scolded you, nor has it ever been mean, there is no injustice or hatred, you say this, who is willing to believe it?" ”

One sentence made Yao Se speechless, raised her head timidly, secretly glanced in the direction where the concubine was standing, still lowered her head, and shook her head firmly: "It was the maid who hated Niangniang and promoted Qiao Zhu to be a second-class palace maid, serving her closely, and she was jealous in her heart, so she was ridiculous for a while, and when she got up in the morning to do things, she broke away from her and put the lime powder prepared in advance into the net bottle." ”

Yuehua sighed lowly: "If you refuse to confess, then it's no wonder that this palace is ruthless." ”

"No, no, no!" Yao Se shook her head in a panic: "The queen mother spares her life, what the slave and maid said is true, and now the paper bag with lime powder is still pressed under Qiao Zhu's pillow." Mother's life! ”

Yuehua just kept silent, Qiao Zhu glared angrily, and complained in a coquettish voice: "You have hidden a lot of fat powder balm of unknown origin there, all of which are tributes from the DPRK and China, and I have hidden them for you, I didn't expect you to be so vicious and want to harm me." ”

Qiao Zhu's words inevitably make people suspicious, this Yao Se must have stolen some benefits from others.

Yao Se was shimsher for a long time, unable to explain, just crying bitterly, confessing and begging, Yuehua's face was cold, which made her daunting.

Seeing that the central warning was hopeless, she turned her head to look at the concubine who was standing by: "Concubine Ya, please help the slave and maid say something." ”

Ya Concubine's face changed greatly, and she avoided it: "You have done it yourself, what is the matter with this palace?" Don't climb around. ”

Concubine He had already covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and suddenly said, "Wasn't this girl originally from the palace of the concubine's sister?" Anyway, there is the friendship between master and servant in the old days, and I beg you to beg you too. ”

When the concubine heard this, she immediately jumped up, and her face was red with a round and jade face: "She made a mistake and was kicked out of the palace by this palace, and whether she is dead or alive has nothing to do with this palace." It's not a pity to die if you eat something inside and outside like this. ”

One sentence seemed to completely cut off all Yao Se's thoughts, and for a while, all thoughts were lost, hugging Yuehua's legs and begging: "Queen Mother, it is indeed Yao Se who deserves to die, she definitely shouldn't do this kind of thing of betraying her to seek glory, and ask the Queen Mother to spare Yao Se's life, right?" ”

Yao Se's sentence "betraying the lord for glory" made everyone inevitably think about it again. In particular, her wailing and begging Ya Concubine to intercede for herself is even more thought-provoking. Concubine Crane glanced at Concubine Ya frequently, full of suspicion.

Ya Concubine was a little embarrassed for a while, but she didn't defend herself, she didn't keep silent, she couldn't sit still, the more she thought about it, the more angry she became, she couldn't hold it back, and stepped forward and kicked Yao Se hard in the heart.

"This palace has always hated this kind of disloyal and unrighteous dog slave the most, and it is pure to kill it directly."

Yao Se threw herself directly on the ground, listened to the scolding of the concubine, wailed, and said decisively: "The slave was forced to be helpless, and she did such a wrong thing, harming the mother, and it is not a pity to die, and now she deserves to end up like this." Mother, take care of yourself! ”

Yuehua didn't know that it was good, so she hurriedly stepped forward to stop it, but it was too late, Yao Se pulled out the silver hairpin between the hairpins, and stabbed it into her throat!

Everyone was shocked, and they wanted to rescue her again, but they saw that her blood was flowing like an infusion, and she hit the vital point, and there was no way to return to heaven. Only a pair of lifeless eyes stared at Ya Concubine, and she didn't bat at her.

No one expected that things would develop to such a result, and there was a dead silence in Jiaofang Palace.

Mo Guhan's gaze jumped from Yao Se on the ground to Ya Concubine's face, cold to the bone.

Ya Concubine shivered in hindsight, and finally reflected what kind of situation she was in now. Yaose's words are all meaningful, which is suspicious, and even if he jumps into the Yellow River, he can't wash it away.

If you kneel on the ground to confess, is there no silver three hundred taels here, and the more you describe it, the darker it becomes?

A sharp announcement with a long tail note came from outside the hall: "The Empress Dowager has arrived!" ”

It actually alarmed the Queen Mother!

Everyone gathered up their chaotic thoughts, knelt on the ground, and greeted the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager was holding a birthday crutch in her hand, and with the support of Mama Lin, she hurriedly came in from outside the hall, looked around, and saw the corpse of Yao Se on the ground, her face was as heavy as water, and she clicked the cane three times fiercely, and the momentum was violent.

The Queen Mother stepped forward first, and said with a smile: "Today, Ling'er went to invite your old man to come over for a drink, saying that there was something wrong with your body, and she didn't dare to disturb you, but now it's better?" ”

The Empress Dowager was full of anger and snorted coldly, but this time she showed no mercy: "Fortunately, the mourning family still has a breath of air, even if it is lifted, it must be lifted to see the excitement." ”
