Chapter 532: Identification
Mu Guifei flatly denied it, but Queen Wang was not surprised.
She looked at Mu Guifei lightly, "Didn't you forget what I just said, Ruying is not dead."
Mu Guifei's breath was stagnant, and Su Rong had already brought a woman in.
All eyes were on her for a moment.
The woman had a beautiful face, dressed plainly but with good manners, she walked to the middle of the main hall, leaned down and bowed to the emperor and queen, "Slaves and maids knock to the emperor, knock to the queen's mother."
The emperor's expression became complicated, "Ruying, is it really you? You're not dead?"
Ruying raised her head, "Your Majesty, the slave maid is not dead, and the Queen Mother never intended to execute the slave maid."
The emperor couldn't help but be silent when he heard this.
Back then, he also had a dislike for Ruying and the Queen Mother.
After being silent for a long time, the emperor's mood had calmed down, and he asked Ruying to get up and asked, "In that case, you can tell the details of the year."
Ruying's every move was the same as before, she got up calmly, and said clearly: "The slave maid complied with the arrangement of the queen mother and prepared to leave the palace on the day of the summer solstice of that year, but the slave maid served the emperor for many years, and she was worried, so she wanted to sneak a look at the emperor before leaving.
Ruying's words, I don't know how many times I repeated them in my heart, and it took many years to say it.
Her tone seemed very calm because of years of precipitation, but it set off turbulent waves in everyone's hearts.
"At that time, Mu Guifei was only a nobleman, and the slave maid heard her ask a palace maid about the whereabouts of the eldest girl of the Xiao family. The palace maid said that the matter had been done, and that Miss Xiao would be sent to Liangzhou City, where someone would answer and make Miss Xiao a famous prostitute in the Qinglou."
Everyone gasped when they heard this, and Li Qingyi's eyes tightened.
Mu Guifei really hated Xiao Lan to the bone, not only killing, but also punishing her heart!
Xiao Lan will not be humiliated and wait for the opportunity to commit suicide without mentioning it, if she is really praised as a famous prostitute in Qinglou a few years later, her reputation is likely to spread to the capital, and the emperor does not know how to feel at that time.
She turned her head to look at Qin Zeng, Qin Zeng's eyes were deep, and there seemed to be a storm and waves in them.
And the emperor was already angry, and the gaze he looked at Mu Guifei could almost kill her!
Mu Guifei didn't seem to expect Ruying to hear so much, and her face was terrifying.
Ruying said: "The slave maid has been in the palace for a long time, and most of the palace people and maids know it, especially the Mu Guiren at that time often came to the emperor's side, and the palace maids and maids around her are very familiar, but the palace maid standing in front of Mu Guiren is very eye-catching, the slave and maid have not seen it, I don't know if it is someone who came in from outside the palace, Mu Guiren waited for the palace maid to reply, and then pushed her into the lotus pond!"
Obviously, Mu Guifei just wanted to kill people.
Li Qingyi watched Mu Guifei's face change several times, and finally showed a sneer, knowing that she was still a dead duck with a hard mouth and refused to admit her guilt easily.
I only heard Ruying continue: "The slave maid was fed up with the favor of the Xiao family before, after the disappearance of the eldest girl Xiao, the slave maid paid a lot of attention to this matter, and also suspected Mu Guiren, at that time I heard her conversation with the palace maid, and I was shocked and excited to make a noise that was discovered by Mu Guiren, and the slave maid knew that if she couldn't escape, the truth of Miss Xiao's disappearance might really be buried, so the slave maid used her understanding of the terrain in the palace and borrowed the arrangement of the queen mother to escape from the palace as quickly as possible." ap.
"After the slave escaped, I wanted to go to the Xiao family to report the news, but the news that followed was that the Xiao family was caught in a bribery case, and the evidence was conclusive! If the slave maid went to the Xiao family at that time, she was likely to be targeted by Mu Guiren, so she had to hide first and find another opportunity. But at this time, the major general of the Mu family made military merits, and the Mu family went to the next level, the greater the power, and after that, the slave maid heard the news of Xiao Da Girl's return to Beijing."
"Miss Xiao should know the truth, but she didn't tell the matter, and instead married General Gongsun, the slave maid thought that she wanted to calm things down, so naturally it was not good to be stronger, so she left the capital with this secret."
Qin Zeng's mother, Xiao Lanhe, was what the emperor couldn't ask for
Bai Yueguang, and Ruying is like a sister like a mother like a confidant, and her emotions are more complicated.
At this time, he saw Ruying coiling the woman's hair, although there were traces of wind and frost on her body, but she was as steady and calm as before, and it didn't seem to have been tortured, and the pimple that had been in her heart for many years suddenly dissipated.
"Where did you go after that?"
Ruying's voice was gentle and slow, which made people sound extremely pleasant and comfortable, "In order to avoid the pursuit of Mu Guiren, the slave maid first settled in a remote town, and then changed her name and surname with the help of the arrangement of the Queen Mother, married and had children, and these years have been quite peaceful."
The emperor nodded, as if he had let go of a matter on his mind.
Mu Guifei sneered on the side, "With your words, is it possible that you will be convicted of this palace?"
Ruying looked directly at her and said, "When the palace maid fell into the lotus pond, the slave saw a red gold arm pendant under her flying cuffs, as expected, the arm should still be at the bottom of the lotus pond, I wonder if it was given to her by a nobleman?"
Mu Guifei's face became ugly, and the emperor looked at her fiercely, but the words in his mouth were instructing the palace people, "Go, according to the position Ruying said, go to find the female corpse and the arm!"
After a short time, the palace people found a white bone according to the direction Ruying said, and on the left arm of the white bone, a dirty arm was hanging loosely.
The queen said, "Let the arm be cleaned out to see if you can see the original appearance and find out the origin!"
Mu Guifei glanced at the queen fiercely.
There are actually a lot of such nameless corpses in the palace, and the palace maid is not a maid in the palace, she sank to the bottom of the lotus pond, no one will find it at all, and when the corpse rots into a pile of white bones, it will be even more difficult to find out the identity, so Mu Guifei didn't think about letting people fish out the corpse for disposal at that time, which would only add to the trouble.
But she didn't expect that the arm that she gave to the servant girl at the beginning would be carried by her and fall into the lotus pond with her! was also seen by Ruying's sharp eyes!
Soon, the palace people presented the cleaned arm, and without waiting for the emperor to speak, Ruying recognized the origin of the arm, "This is the reward given to the palaces on Chinese New Year's Eve in the second year of the emperor's succession, and the Internal Affairs Office should be able to find out."
Ruying is worthy of being the emperor's intimate person, after so many years, she can still remember it so clearly.
Mu Guifei suddenly interrupted Ruying's narration with a loud shout, "Enough, no need to say it! Hongu admits that it is!"
She confessed her sins, and for now, she could at least shut up Qin Zeng and Queen Wang!
Everyone watched Mu Guifei gradually reveal a look of madness and despair, and they couldn't help but hold their breath.
Mu Guifei sneered, her eyes seemed to be frozen by frost, and after the painful and sad frenzy, her complexion gradually returned to normal. It seems that he has resigned himself to his fate and does not want to do any more struggle.
