Chapter 208: Interrogating the little palace maid
The little palace maid was a little nervous in her eyes, but she still explained: "Niangniang, the slave maid really doesn't know, the slave maid is just guessing, and when we made the clothes before, the clothes were also complete." ”
Jiang Yao asked here, but the female official Qinghe looked at her with some doubts, and her eyes gradually showed a little appreciation, this Concubine Jing is not as straw as others say.
That's right, how can it be a straw bag to sit in such a high position, but is it really good to show your intelligence like this at a state banquet?
Duan Jingyan looked at Jiang Yao with interest, is this the kitten starting to gradually show its sharp claws?
He didn't believe that Jiang Yao deliberately asked just to prove his innocence, and he always felt that this kitten seemed to have some purpose.
His eyes wandered back and forth, and he couldn't help but look at Qing He, who was also looking towards Jiang Yao.
Could this be the purpose of the kitten?
Qing He looked at the palace maid at this time: "I'm afraid there is something you don't know, the key to the orange has been returned to me as early as the day I gave it to her in public, so you are the only one who has the opportunity to do it!" ”
The little palace maid's pupils dilated violently, and then said to Qing He: "You are deceiving people, you are doing this to maintain Tangerine, you are deceiving everyone, Your Majesty, she is deceiving the monarch, Your Majesty!" ”
However, Duan Jingyan just looked at her coldly: "The female official I personally promoted doesn't believe it, but I want to believe you as a little slave?" Aren't you saying that there is something wrong with my vision? ”
Seeing Duan Jingyan's obvious maintenance, Qing He made a grateful look on his face, Jiang Yao looked at it with a smile at this time, this Qing He really didn't disappoint her, so it didn't live up to her good intentions just now.
"Tell me, who instructed you to frame Concubine Jing!"
Qing He said sharply to the little palace maid.
Duan Jingyan also instructed Kande: "Check if she has any family." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Hearing the emperor say this, the little palace maid's eyes obviously flashed with fear, and sure enough, Kant replied that there was an old father, an old mother, and a younger brother who was about to start a family.
At this time, the palace maid was finally honest, and she didn't defend herself, just looking at the ground with a dead face.
"If you tell the truth, I won't embarrass your family." Duan Jingyan's words fell, and the little palace maid looked at him with hope in her eyes.
Only then did he muster up the courage to say: "Yes, it was Concubine Ning who ordered the slave maid to do this, and she used the slave maid's family to threaten the slave maid that if she didn't do what she said, she would kill the slave maid's family." ”
Speaking of this, she begged for mercy with a sad face: "The slave maid also has to accept her coercion for the sake of her family, and please ask the emperor to let the slave and maid's family go for the sake of the slave and maid's filial piety!" ”
Without waiting for Duan Jingyan to say anything, Concubine Ning stood up first, with a grievance on her face: "Your Majesty, the relationship between the concubine and Concubine Jing's sister has always been very good, how could she frame her, it is obvious that this little palace maid was instructed to frame the concubine!" ”
The Queen Mother has always disliked Concubine Ning, and at this time she opened her mouth with a disgusted face: "Now that the little palace maids have confessed, what else do you have to explain, why doesn't she say anything about others, but just about you, the mourning family sees that you are used to being a schemer, but you don't want to be such a poisonous scorpion!" ”
As soon as the Queen Mother's words came out, it could be regarded as a critical blow, Concubine Ning's body staggered a little, and the Queen Mother said this in front of the courtiers, even if it was later proved that she did not do it, she must have left the impression of a femme fatale in everyone's hearts.
But she couldn't quarrel with the Queen Mother directly, she only looked at Duan Jingyan with a pitiful face, and the tears in her eyes couldn't fall, adding to the pitifulness: "Your Majesty, the concubine is wronged." ”
