Bao Qing's words made the people in the palace puzzled again.

They originally thought that Concubine Shuniang would close the case with this, after all, Chang Meiren offended her without knowing how to do it, so it was reasonable to give Chang Meiren a capital crime, but everyone didn't expect that Baoqing would flatly deny that Chang Meiren who slandered her was guilty.

Chang Yuan blinked and looked at Baoqing in surprise, unable to tell the situation for a while.

When the concubine learned that Chang Meiren was humiliated, she asked the little stool to check the Chashang Palace Bureau, and as a result, she really found something. ”

The little stool immediately stepped forward, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, Niangniang, this is what the slave found from the palace maid Xuanling's bedroom, please take a look at the emperor and Niangniang." ”

It was a bag full of money, and when I opened it, I saw that it was full of gold, silver, and jewelry.

"The palace maid's monthly share is only a few taels of silver, and the monthly share of a female official is only ten taels. But this little palace maid has hidden a full amount of jewelry worth hundreds of taels of gold in just one place. Xuanling, you are so bold!"

When Xuan Ling heard this, she hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

"You live next door to Tsunemi, know when she goes to bed, know when your yard is weakest guarded. What you have to do is to throw the guard's clothes and the token from the main palace into Chang Meiren's room while everyone is asleep. ”

Chang Yuan looked at Xuan Ling in surprise, Xuan Ling was already so frightened that her face was so blue that she couldn't say a word.

Although Chang Kite is domineering, he is a sincere person, and he is still questioning at this time: "But Niangniang, the concubine was really awakened, and the concubine resisted desperately, so she was able to escape...... Xuan Ling is a woman, how could she ......"

"The moon is dark and the wind is high, can you see the other party's face clearly?"

Chang Kite shook his head. "No, it's too dark, the concubine only feels that someone is pressing on the concubine, and when she opens her eyes, it's just a black shadow. ”

"That's it, you can't even see your face clearly, and in fright, you can't even tell whether the other party is a man or a woman. She didn't intend to really ruin your innocence, and she acted like she was going to violate you, and throwing away a man's clothes could easily make you think that she was almost insulted. ”

Hearing Baoqing say this, Chang Kite suddenly realized.

Xuan Ling threw away the sinful object and woke Chang Meiren up again. When everyone heard Chang Meiren screaming and hurried over, he hid behind the screen, waited for everyone to enter the bedroom, and then took advantage of the chaos to blend into the crowd, and then he didn't know it. This bag of jewels with no clue is proof of this. ”

Xuan Ling was exhausted and slumped to the ground, she had never seen the world, and now that her stolen goods were presented to the emperor, she didn't even have the courage to argue.

"You are just a rough palace maid, and it is impossible for you to come into contact with the warehouse of the Shanggong Bureau on weekdays, so someone must have promised you money to do things for her. Say, who is it?"

Xuan Ling bit her lip tightly and remained silent.

"You don't have to say it, but this palace will definitely investigate, you say now, this palace can spare you from death, but if you let this palace find out, you will no longer have the possibility of survival." At this moment, it is your only chance. ”

Xuan Ling's face was pale and her whole body was trembling, she opened her lips, and was about to say something, when Xiao Cheng suddenly interrupted: "Okay, the matter is clear, Concubine Shu is innocent, and the rest will be handed over to Gao De." ”

Xiao Cheng stood up, walked in front of Chang Yuan, and said in a cold voice: "Maybe you think that your beauty and family background will make you very different in my eyes, but I am here to tell you that the palace pays attention to the humility of the elders and the young, and if you are disrespectful to the concubine, you are disrespectful to me." Do you understand?"

Chang Kite's tears kept rolling down like beads of broken threads, and she nodded emphatically, not daring to say anything more.

Xiao Cheng glanced at everyone in the hall, "You also understand?"

The concubines hurriedly knelt down and responded: "Yes, the concubines must follow the teachings. ”

Xiao Cheng walked past the crowd kneeling at his feet and left with his hands behind his back.

Looking at his back, Bao Qing did not have a trace of joy that was not pampered, the hand holding the handle of the chair tightened slightly, and she only felt that her palms were cold.

......

"Niangniang, what does the emperor mean?" everyone dispersed, and Su Wen closed the door of the palace and asked worriedly.

"Probably blamed me for messing up his chess game. ”

Su Wen was shocked: "What does Niangniang mean is that Chang Meiren's affairs were done by the emperor?"

"Fu told me before that Xuanling had a problem, and I found out that she had a great relationship with Mu Zhaorong. From the time Chang Kite appeared in the Flower Moon Palace, I had already guessed something. ”

It wasn't until Xiao Cheng interrupted Xuan Ling's explanation and handed everything over to Gao De to investigate that Bao Qing was sure of this amazing conjecture.

Xiao Cheng likes the layout, and the bureaus he lays out are interlocking and almost imperceptible. If she hadn't gotten the news from Ford's early in the morning, and had been carefully noticed, she wouldn't have known about it. In this way, you will fall for Xiao Cheng's scheme.

"Xiao Cheng wants to eradicate the hearts of the Zhan family, I can understand it. It's just that, in order to achieve the goal, it is so cold to lose the innocence of a person......"

Su Wen listened, and hurriedly explained for Xiao Cheng: "Niangniang, don't think about the emperor like this, the emperor can't talk about friendship with Chang Meiren at all, and sacrificing her can make the court stable, which is also a good choice." ”

"I'm talking about coldness, it's Zhan Xuan'......" Baoqing sighed slightly: "When he was still a prince, Zhan Xuan married him." ”

Xiao Cheng intended for her to find out that Chang Kite was framed, and Chang Kite was a fledgling and must borrow the power of Zhan Xuan. Zhan Xuan's private conferral has been demoted, if there is another crime of blaming at this time, Chang Kite will be abolished, and Zhan Xuan, who cannot be taken care of by his mother's family...... The ending is not going to be much better.

Zhan Xuan is certainly domineering, but his heart for Xiao Cheng is full. Just because she was a member of the Zhan family, he planned to treat her like this......

Su Wen no longer persuaded him, and Zhu Er, who was standing aside, also looked solemn.

Chang Kite was given the title of 'Jia' because of her martyrdom in Huayue Palace, and her punishment for embroidering in the Shanggong Bureau was revoked.

Her act of hitting the pillar that day was really a bit fake, and everyone in the palace knew that she was just making a show. If she really wanted to die, she would die secretly in her bedroom, and she would never choose to commit suicide in front of everyone.

And the palace maid Xuanling also died under the heavy punishment.

Her death was expected by Baoqing, if she didn't die and pulled Mu Zhaorong, Xiao Cheng would definitely be reluctant.

This incident also made Bao Qing realize the fact that Mu Zhaorong was indeed very different in Xiao Cheng's eyes.

Her intelligence and cleverness, her ruthlessness and decisiveness, seem to have become a sharp weapon in Xiao Cheng's hands. In this way, Baoqing had to re-examine Mu Zhaorong.

......

On this day, Xiao Cheng sat in front of the window reading a book, and Baoqing teased the birds in the hall.

This bird is just one of his rewards, so many treasures Baoqing don't want one, but this bird is favored, and it is placed in the palace to accompany her every day.

It's really not on the table, Xiao Cheng thought.

In order to ease the relationship with Baoqing, in the past few days, he will come to Huayue Palace to sit and sit if he has nothing to do, however, he doesn't speak, Baoqing doesn't speak, but the bird has a lot of care from Baoqing. Thinking that his status was not as good as a parrot, Xiao Cheng couldn't help but sulk.

Putting down the book, Xiao Cheng walked over curtly: "You like this bird very much." ”
