Chapter 091: The Old Things Revisited
Mrs. Jiang felt that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so she quickly got up, took a step forward, and said: "Your Royal Highness, the Queen Mother, the concubine heard that there is a potion in this world, which is written on paper, and it can only be seen when it meets water, it seems that this whistleblower letter is written with this potion!"
"There is still such a potion?" The Queen Mother listened to Jiang Yi's words and felt very curious.
"The Empress Dowager Qi, the concubine also saw it in a book by chance. Some potions can manifest when exposed to water, and some potions can only manifest when exposed to fire. The concubine only thought it was magical that day, and she had never seen such a potion with her own eyes, but she didn't expect to see it with her own eyes today. Jiang Yi said, "The concubine clearly remembered that the secret letter presented by Mrs. Yao at that time was a blank piece of paper, but now it was wet with tea, and the handwriting was revealed." ”
Just as Jiang Yi spoke, Aunt Wushuang had already unfolded the whole paper, although the paper was still wet, but because the ink was specially made, not only did it not cut it when it met the water, but the handwriting became clearer and clearer.
Moreover, because the paper is wet, it is very transparent, and the words on the paper can also be seen from the back, so in addition to the Queen Mother and Shen Che sitting on the high platform, as well as Aunt Wushuang, Jiang Yi and Yao Shuang in the palace, and Mrs. Han can also see it clearly.
The whole letter was not very long, and I read it quickly, it seemed that everyone did not expect such a scene to happen, everyone was silent, but Lu Yingquan smiled and said:
"Mrs. Jiang knows very well about this potion. Concubines are unheard of and unseen. ”
This sounds like praising Jiang Yi for being well-informed, but in fact, it alludes to the fact that this whistleblower letter is related to Jiang Yi, after all, no one can say why this potion matters, only Jiang Yi is talking about the Tao, and it is difficult to get rid of suspicion.
When Jiang Yi heard this, a faint anger rose on her face, she didn't expect that her words of taking advantage of the victory to pursue could actually become the handle of Lu Yingquan's counterattack.
"Lu Meiren, although Mrs. Yao's matter has been a long time ago, and she is also dead, it stands to reason that this matter should be turned over, but the appearance of today's whistleblower letter has made the mourning family have to bring up the old matter again. Empress Dowager Jiang looked at Lu Yingquan and said, "At that time, the mourning family thought that Mrs. Yao was lying, and that was because the mourning family thought it was a blank slate. But now that the handwriting is revealed, it is indeed a whistleblower letter, and it says that you Lu Meiren is a fine work of Ning Palace, what else do you have to say?"
Lu Yingquan listened to the Queen Mother's words, and was not flustered, but got up with Yun Yao's support, knelt on the ground, and said in a proper manner: "The Empress Dowager Qi, the concubine is still the same sentence, the concubine is wronged." This letter was written by someone to blame the concubine. ”
"Lu Meiren, I remember that Mrs. Yao said before she died, the letter was written by your personal palace maid Yun Yao. Jiang Yi took the opportunity to say, "Yun Yao is your confidant, her words must not be false, you are Ning Gong's meticulous work." ”
"But Mrs. Jiang, you seem to have forgotten one thing. Lu Yingquan turned his head to look at Jiang Yi and said with a sneer, "When Mrs. Yao accused me of being a fine worker, she said that this letter was written by Yun Yao, but Yun Yao did not admit it at that time. ”
"What the beauty said was that the slave had never written such a letter. Yun Yao listened to Lu Yingquan's words, and also knelt on the ground, "Lu Meiren is not Ning Gong's meticulous work at all, not to mention that the beauty treats the slave and maid very well, how can the slave and maid do something to betray the beauty?"
"It's really ridiculous, this letter has been in the hands of Aunt Wushuang since it was submitted by Mrs. Yao, it wasn't written by you, could it be that Aunt Wushuang wrote it?" Yao Shuang also helped Jiang Yi speak.
For a while, there was a lot of noise in the hall, and everyone insisted on their own words, and they couldn't tell who was true and who was false.
Shen Che saw that Lu Yingquan was injured and knelt on the ground for a long time, and immediately felt distressed, helped Lu Yingquan up, and asked Yun Yao to get up too, and then said: "This king has a way to prove whether this letter was written by Yun Yao or not. ”
"Che'er, what can you do?" asked the Queen Mother.
"Let Yun Yao write another one according to the content and compare the handwriting. Shen Che said, "No matter how much you deny it, the handwriting will never be fake, if the handwriting of the two letters is the same, then Yun Yao has nothing to say." ”
The Queen Mother listened to this method, nodded slightly, and felt that it was feasible, so she hurriedly asked people to prepare pen and ink and let Yun Yao copy the secret letter.
Everyone waited with bated breath, Yun Yao's handsome hairpin flower script was written on the paper, flowing smoothly, in one go, without the slightest pause, not like it was carefully figuring out in order to deliberately create different handwriting.
It was completely different from the self on the secret letter that was wet, and it was completely the handwriting of two people.
And Shen Che seemed to have already known the result, and waited carelessly to the side, waiting for Yun Yao to finish writing.
In fact, he didn't know Yun Yao's plan, but when he saw that the little palace maid who served tea deliberately spilled tea on Wushuang's body, and Wushuang took out the secret letter, implicating old things, and then saw the familiar handwriting on the secret letter, he guessed what Yun Yao might be going to do.
So, he proposed a way to compare the handwriting to promote the development of this matter, because he had already seen that the handwriting on the letter belonged to Mrs. Jiang.
Shen Che couldn't help but admire Yun Yao's foresight in her heart, she could dig a pit for such a long time, just wait for the time to open, and wait for others to jump into it obediently.
Soon, Yun Yao finished writing, Wushuang took the letter written by Yun Yao and presented it to the Queen Mother.
"Queen Mother, this letter is really not written by Yun Yao, this handwriting is completely incorrect. Wushuang looked at the two pieces of paper and said, "And this real secret letter, the handwriting on it is very similar to ......."
"Like what?" The Queen Mother saw that Wushuang wanted to speak and stopped, and she didn't think so much for a while, so she asked.
"Like Mrs. Jiang's handwriting. Wushuang lowered his head and said.
As soon as these words came out, Jiang Yi was shocked and hurriedly argued: "How can it be? What does this have to do with me?"
Empress Dowager Jiang listened to Wushuang's words, looked at it carefully, and found that the secret letter was really Jiang Yi's handwriting, although there were a few strokes that looked incongruous, but this was indeed Jiang Yi's handwriting.
Suddenly, the Queen Mother slapped on the desk next to her, and glared at Jiang Yi angrily: "Come up and see for yourself, who else can it be if it's not your handwriting?"
When Jiang Yi heard this, he hurriedly ran up, and when he saw it, he was even more shocked in his heart. She was sure she hadn't written such a letter, but the handwriting on the letter was hers, what the hell was going on?
"The concubine understands. No wonder Mrs. Jiang knows the special features of that potion, it turns out that there is such a thing in it. Seeing this, Lu Yingquan said with a smile, "No matter how much Mrs. Jiang hates the concubine, she can't pour such dirty water on the concubine's body." If you elaborate on these two words, the concubines can't afford it. ”
"You ......" Jiang Yi didn't expect things to happen like this, she was angry and anxious for a while, and then said, "No, this must be someone deliberately planted on me, this must not be the one Yun Yao wrote at the beginning." ”
"The concubine remembers what Yao Meiren said just now, this letter has been in the hands of Aunt Wushuang since it was submitted, could it be that Aunt Wushuang deliberately framed you?" Lu Yingquan moved Yao Shuang's words out and blocked Jiang Yi's mouth.
Jiang Yi suddenly didn't know what to say, she looked at the secret letter with ironclad evidence, looked at the Queen Mother with a blue face, and then looked at Lu Yingquan who was light and breezy, and seemed to understand something in her heart.
Maybe it's a trap? A trap for her?
I don't know why the handwriting on this letter is the same as hers, but she is sure that this letter must be related to Yun Yao. In other words, Yun Yao had been setting up a trap for her a few months ago, and was waiting for this matter to be exposed in public today.
She had just been lifted from her grounding, and now she was about to be burdened by a letter again, but she didn't even have evidence to defend herself.
What a Yun Yao! What a Lu Yingquan! She has grown so big, and she has never suffered such a loss, but this two times in a row, she was defeated in the hands of these two people.
She is not reconciled!
"It's a pity that Mrs. Yao is dead, and now there is no proof of death, otherwise I might be able to ask what the result is. Yun Yao lowered her head and said, "Perhaps, this letter is simply the original Madame Yao and Madame Jiang jointly designed Lu Meiren." ”
"What nonsense are you talking about, what reason do I have to do this?" Jiang Yi heard Yun Yao's words and immediately said angrily.
"Madame, have you forgotten what happened at the Lantern Festival Palace banquet? Isn't that enough to explain your motives?" Yun Yao sneered, and then said to the Queen Mother, "The Queen Mother, the slave maid is just a palace maid, but seeing my master being wronged, I feel very uncomfortable. The slave maid doesn't have to find out about the matter, but she just hopes that the queen mother can trust Lu Meiren. ”
Yun Yao is still measured in her words, although she has a tough attitude towards Jiang Yi, she has a soft attitude towards the Queen Mother. And in a few words, he showed his determination, and he didn't want to find out the facts, that is, he didn't want to investigate Mrs. Jiang's sins, but just hoped that the Queen Mother would be fair to Lu Yingquan.
Although the Queen Mother favored Jiang Yi, she was not completely unreasonable, she saw that Yun Yao and Lu Yingquan had a calm attitude, so there was no reason to criticize them, so she said:
"Jiang Yi, the evidence is here, and you can't quibble. It seems that the last one-month lockdown did not teach you a long lesson, and this time, the routine silver in your palace was suspended for three months, and you copied the female ring girl thirty times. In addition, you have to pour tea in person to make amends to Lu Meiren. ”
This kind of punishment is unprecedentedly serious for Jiang Yi, she has never been insulted like this, and even if she is punished and copied from the female ring, she actually has to pour tea for Lu Yingquan to make amends, isn't this a clear joke for Lu Yingquan?
However, this was ordered by the Queen Mother herself, and she couldn't resist, so she could only do it, breaking her teeth and swallowing it in her stomach.
But Yun Yao's heart only sneered, she felt that such a punishment was quite light. In front of the Empress Dowager Jiang, every time Lu Yingquan was framed, the Empress Dowager Jiang demoted her position, but when it came to Jiang Yi, the Empress Dowager was reluctant to degrade Jiang Yi's position, so she could only use these innocuous punishments to fool people.
Because the Queen Mother knew that Jiang Yi could sit in the position of Mrs. for so long because she supported her behind her back. Once Jiang Yi's position is reduced, and Lu Yingquan is menacing again, it will be very difficult for Jiang Yi to climb up again.
