237 Difficult to be a concubine (13)

The palace maid slowly regained her composure, she replied in an orderly manner, "The slave's name is Xiaoyue, it is the palace that Chengqing entered in the fourteenth year, and there are two brothers and a younger brother in the family. ”

"You just said that there is evidence for small words, what kind of evidence?" Lin Luo asked.

"It's a handkerchief," replied the palace maid named Xiao Yue, "This handkerchief was given to the slave by Miss Xiao Yan herself, and there was still medicine in it that could cause Gu Cairen to have a miscarriage. There was also a word embroidered on the handkerchief. ”

Lin Luo asked the palace people to go to the place where Xiaoyue lived and found this handkerchief.

Xiao Yue said, "The slave maid has inquired, and the handkerchief used by Miss Xiaoyan herself will be embroidered with a word on it, and this stitch is embroidered by Miss Xiaoyan at a glance." ”

"You know that. Lin Luoleng snorted, he held this handkerchief in his hand, and said to Xiao Yan, "Xiao Yan, come and see, is this your handkerchief?"

Just when Xiao Yan was about to take the veil, Xiao Yue suddenly spoke up, "Imperial concubine, wait, this veil is the only evidence that can testify against Xiao Yan, what if Miss Xiao Yan destroys this veil with a thought?"

"What should I do?" Lin Luo glanced at the palace maid with contempt, "Do you think there is a difference between having evidence and not having evidence? ”

After that, Lin Luo turned his head to look at Huo Yuyun, "Your Majesty, in order to shut up some people, this concubine will not show Xiao Yan, but the Qiu Zhu next to the concubine can always be seen, right? ”

Huo Yuyun looked at Qiu Zhu and responded, "Then let Qiu Zhu identify it." ”

"Yes. Qiu Zhu respectfully took the handkerchief in Lin Luo's hand with both hands. After carefully looking at the front and back several times, Qiu Zhu said, "This is indeed Xiao Yan's handkerchief, and the stitches are also Xiao Yan's craftsmanship,"

Xiao Yue listened to Qiu Zhu's words, and couldn't wait to say, "What the slave said is not wrong, this is indeed Xiao Yan's veil, and Xiao Yan instructed me to harm Gu Cai and the prince." ”

Lin Luo turned his head to look at Xiao Yan and said, "Xiao Yan, the evidence is conclusive, you still have something to say." ”

Xiao Yan respectfully said to the emperor and Lin Luo's luggage, "Your Majesty, the imperial concubine, the slave and maid do have something to say." ”

Lin Luo said to Huo Yuyun, "Your Majesty, it's better to listen to how Xiao Yan justifies himself." ”

Huo Yuyun nodded.

Xiao Yan said, "The handkerchief of the slave maid is indeed like what this Xiaoyue palace maid said, and she will embroider a word on the corner. And the slave maid had lost a handkerchief two months ago, and the slave maid had also reported this matter to the imperial concubine Niangniang, even Aunt Qiuzhu and other palace people around Niangniang also knew about it. ”

"Hmm......" Lin Luo nodded his finger at his head, "It seems that there is indeed such a thing, Qiu Zhu, do you remember this?"

Qiu Zhu lowered his head and replied, "Back to the imperial concubine Niangniang, the slave also remembers that this is indeed the case." ”

Xiao Yue couldn't help but speak up at this time, "This doesn't prove anything at all, maybe Miss Xiaoyan deliberately said that she lost her veil to get rid of her suspicion because she expected today?"

"Go back to the emperor, go back to the imperial concubine," Xiao Yan said, "This handkerchief is indeed the one that the slave and maid lost, but the slave and maid will never give this handkerchief to anyone, let alone use it to wrap medicine." ”

"Oh?" Lin Luo asked knowingly, "Why is that?"

Xiao Yan stepped forward and asked in a loud voice, "I wonder if there are palace people here who are good at female red?"

A palace maid walked out, and Xiao Yan said to her, "Come and see this veil, can you see anything from it?"

The palace maid took the handkerchief from Qiu Zhu's hand, looked at it carefully several times, and also recognized it in the sunlight, the longer she looked at it, the more excited the palace maid's attitude became, she carefully held the handkerchief, and spoke in a trembling voice, "This...... The embroidery thread on this handkerchief, gold and silver embroidery thread, jade embroidery thread, red bead embroidery thread, magnolia embroidery thread ......"

The palace maid said the names of several embroidery threads in a row. After identifying them one by one, the palace maid held the handkerchief and said, "Back to the emperor, back to the imperial concubine, the embroidery threads on this handkerchief are extremely precious embroidery threads, and only the emperor and the most noble and favored concubines in the palace can wear brocade palace clothes embroidered with these embroidery threads." A palace maid is not qualified to use such a high-grade embroidery thread at all. ”

"So, this handkerchief is extremely precious?" Lin Luo asked.

"Very precious, a hundred times more precious than gold. The maid replied in a tone of great certainty. 166 Reading Network
