Chapter 165: No Excuse (Change)
"Nonsense, when you came to our East Courtyard, you obviously said that the prince was waiting for our princess in Fangfei Pavilion, and everyone in our East Courtyard heard about it." Zi Yao stood up one by one, she glared at the little eunuch angrily, and couldn't bear to kick her feet directly, "Someone must have given you a favor to frame our princess, lord, don't believe his words." ”
"Bold!" Princess Yu slammed her palms on the table, pointed at Zi Yao and looked at Mu Xuefu, gritted her teeth and said: "What kind of master there is, what kind of slave, in front of this princess and King Chen, a little maid dares to beat people so arrogantly, you can see how domineering and domineering you are in the palace!" ”
Although Zi Yao has an impulsive personality, she is not a brainless person. She hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Jingrong solemnly, "The slave is angry, but this person framed the master, so he was impulsive and rude, and the prince wanted to beat and punish the slave and maid Jue had no complaints." But this person is indeed deliberately slandering the master, please ask the prince to investigate. ”
"You are the princess's person, so you will naturally speak for her." Hua Mei'er, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke, she threw off her veil and looked at Zi Yao with an arrogant expression. Slowly and methodically picked up the teacup on the table, "One is the person who serves the princess, and the other is the person who serves the prince, who is more credible, as long as it is a person with a long head, he can judge." ”
Mu Xuefu looked at her quietly, then looked up at Jing Rong and shook her head, her soft voice pulled a long tone, and she was about to kneel on the ground as she spoke, "Lord Wang, you know, Zi Yao has always been straightforward and reckless, she was angry when she heard that this slave framed the concubine, you want to punish the concubine, don't blame her." ”
Jing Rong frowned, and hugged her up without waiting for her knees to hit the ground, "This king naturally knows Ziyao's character and won't blame her." Helping Mu Xuefu to sit aside, his eyes swept Princess Zaiyu's face casually, and said lightly: "A slave's confession alone can't explain anything, at the beginning, Hanxiang was still serving by the king's side, isn't it also being bribed." ”
There was a slight twitch at the corner of Princess Yu's mouth, and she suddenly smiled: "Okay, even if the people who are serving around the prince don't count, then let's continue to ask others." She lifted her chin and commanded the two maidservants kneeling on her right, "You two speak." ”
A servant girl said, "The slave maid has seen it in the back garden······ Princess······ and······ With this guard, it's ······"
"What else? Tell me what you have seen. Princess Yu shouted.
The maid gritted her teeth and said happily: "I also saw the two of them hugging each other." ”
Jing Rong's eyes suddenly froze, and he said coldly: "Can you clearly see that it is the princess?" ”
The maid was so frightened that her body trembled, and she immediately calmed down and said, "Yes, the slave can see it clearly, it is the princess." ”
Jing Rong bowed his head calmly, there was no change on his face, he looked sideways at another servant girl, recognized it as a servant girl in Mu Xuefu's courtyard, and unconsciously glanced at Mu Xuefu, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, and he said concisely, "You say." ”
The maid bowed her head and said: "The slave maid is a second-class maid who serves in the East Courtyard, although she is not as favored as the Qingzhuo girl Ziyao girl, but she usually does some errands and messengers, so the slave maid knows a lot about the princess." Some time ago, when the prince was not in the palace, the princess would go to the back garden almost every night. Once it rained in the evening, Miss Qingzhuo was worried that the princess would be caught in the rain, so she specially asked the slave maid to deliver an umbrella. When she got there, the slave saw the princess sitting in the pavilion with a man, and the two of them looked very intimate. The slave was afraid of being discovered, and was worried that the princess would kill people, so she immediately ran out of the garden, and when she returned to the east courtyard, she only said that the garden was too big and she did not find the princess, so she escaped. Princess Yu asked today, and the slave remembered the events of that day, and she didn't dare to hide it anymore. She raised her eyelids slightly, looked at Mu Xuefu timidly, as if frightened, her body was violently excited, and she quickly lowered her head, "And ······ At night, Qingzhuo and Bai Yi didn't need the slaves and maids to keep vigil, and sent the slaves and maids back to the room to rest. Originally, the slave maid also thought that the princess treated us subordinates well, so she didn't let us serve. But once the slave maid couldn't sleep because of the heat, so she went to the courtyard to cool off, and she thought that there was a strange sound coming from the princess's house. When the voice and the prince stayed overnight in the East Courtyard······ It's no different. ”
She is articulate, a few words are clean and neat, without a little mud, especially the latter words are even more imaginative. But also because of this last sentence, a "bang" exploded in Jing Rong's heart, and a dark blue flame instantly burst out in his eyes. Jing Rong's gaze swept over Mu Xuefu intentionally or unintentionally, but said to the maidservant: "You are serving by the princess's side, you just said that although you are not favored, but being a second-class maid in the princess, the people in this mansion will give you more or less decency." As a slave, you can have this blessing, you don't cherish it, protect your master with all your might, but come to denounce her, which is really difficult for this king. ”
The maid's mind turned quickly, and after hesitating, she said in an orderly manner: "Although the slave and maid are serving the princess, the real master of the slave and maid is the prince. The princess has done something sorry for the princess, how can the slave and maid be silent with their conscience? ”
This maidservant Mu Xuefu remembers that her name is Liu'er, and she is one of the four major maids under Qingzhuo, and she has always served in the outer room, and she has always been steady and proper, and she can be regarded as competent.
It's just that people are really unseemly, in the past, I saw her always lowering her eyebrows and lowering her eyes, looking like she was keeping to herself, but I didn't expect her to speak so eloquently, and she didn't even blush and her heart beat when she made up such absurd statements. On weekdays, I really underestimated her.
A breath of anger rushed in her chest, Mu Xuefu's teeth were cold, and she said word by word: "You are really knowledgeable and loyal enough, but I don't see your loyalty and sincerity at all on weekdays." ”
Liu Er was not afraid, looked at her and said: "The slave maid has been in the palace for many years, and she has been favored by the prince, so she is naturally grateful to Dane and swears allegiance to the prince. After a pause, he continued with righteousness: "The prince loves the princess very much, and everyone inside and outside the palace sees it, but the princess is so self-loving and fornicated. If the slave and maid continue to help the princess hide it, it will be a shame. ”
Mu Xuefu giggled, causing everyone to look at her. She didn't think so, raised her chin, and there was a hint of rebelliousness in her expression. Turning her head to look at Jing Rong, her eyes were firmly locked on his face, and she smiled slightly, "Yuchen believes?" ”
It was the first time she had called his name in public, and her voice was as thin as a cloud and as soft as a drizzle.
There was a moment of consternation in Jing Rong's eyes, and he took Mu Xuefu's hand again, and smiled, "Naturally I don't believe it." ”
This smile, like a bright firework blooming in the night sky, shocked the beauty of a lifetime. Mu Xuefu looked at him fixedly, her heart was like a deer colliding with each other, and she couldn't help but accelerate and stir twice.
The words of these three people were like a sharp sword pressing straight at her, forcing her to be powerless to fight back. The person who laid out the layout used her and the people around Jing Rong as witnesses, which undoubtedly confirmed her crime and convinced others of it.
But how could she ever care about other people's doubts, she only cared about whether Jingrong would listen to others and whether she would always believe her.
Even if there is the slightest doubt, it is like a meteor that pierces the night sky, fleeting, and disappears into the endless darkness.
Luckily, he believed her.
"I haven't done it, I haven't done it before, and I won't ever have one." As if a promise, Mu Xuefu held Jing Rong's hand back, and her palm was slightly forced. She didn't care about the jealousy, envy or hatred of others, she just looked at the scene fixedly.
After a while, she turned her head to look at Liu Er, and said, "Since I can bring people back to the East Courtyard for fornication, then you mean that the people around me know about it, right?" ”
Liu Er hesitated, her eyes rolled slightly, and said, "Yes, otherwise we wouldn't have sent our people away, leaving only a few of them to guard." ”
Mu Xuefu asked again, "You said that I had a tryst with someone in the gazebo, and it was the clothes you went to send?" ”
Liu Er said categorically: "That's right. ”
Mu Xuefu snorted slightly, bent down and clamped her chin, as if scrutinizing, his gaze lingering on her face. I never paid attention to her in the past, but when I looked at it carefully, this Liu Er was a handsome woman.
"That's strange, I had a tryst with someone, and Qing Zhuo didn't hide it for me, but personally went to send me clothes, but sent you. Isn't she afraid that you will see what you shouldn't see? Or is she already trusting you to the point where she can let you know about my fornication? The strength of his hand increased, and he pinched Liu'er's jaw fiercely, "Since you sent me clothes, and you came back before the clothes were delivered, would Qingzhuo be stupid and not even have a little suspicion?" ”
Hong Shao snorted lightly and said, "The princess has the four of us to do everything for her, even if it is a piece of clothing, no one can touch it except the four of us." Which onion and garlic are you counting to touch the princess's clothes? ”
Some people imagined that the prince would look at him differently, so he also spoke for Mu Xuefu, "No, aren't the girls here, so you have to send clothes." Besides, if it is really a tryst between the princess and someone, if Miss Qingzhuo is not stupid, she will naturally send someone else, even if the other three girls are not there, she will send it in person, how can she leave this kind of thing to you? ”
Liu Er had an indescribable pain in her jaw, but when she was questioned, she unconsciously showed a little panic and weakness, "Slave maid······ Slave maid, what the slave and maid said was based on the truth, and did not intend to frame the princess. In front of the prince, the slave maid did not dare to lie, it was indeed the Qingzhuo girl who asked the slave maid to give clothes to the princess. As for why the slave and maid were chosen, the slave and maid did not know. ”
