Chapter 158: A Scene
Lin Qingluan only sat there with his cheeks up, looking at the scene performed above with a smile.
Shangguan Yan was not stupid, he asked lightly: "So you have only seen the palace maid Mu Hibiscus all the time, but you have not seen the concubine?" Did Hibiscus tell you to do it? ”
"Hibiscus...... Mu Hibiscus is the palace maid next to the concubine, isn't what she said is what the concubine said? The slave maid believed in the concubine and did such a thing! Ruby screamed.
Lin Qingluan laughed: "What if it's the hibiscus backing the master?" It's all said with one mouth.,Bengong said that Bengong didn't let Hibiscus do such a thing.,What are you doing? ”
Hongyu didn't know what to say for a while, and Concubine Xian stood behind Shangguan Yan a little anxious.
What's the matter, shouldn't Mu Hibiscus be arrested for questioning at this time, and then search Wan'an Palace?
What does the emperor mean by that, is it to exonerate Lin Qingluan?
Concubine Xian was still in shock, but Lin Qingluan said by herself: "Go to Wan'an Palace, bring hibiscus and ask, and give the concubine an innocence." ”
Concubine Xian: ?
Shangguan Yan bowed: "It's okay." ”
Yu An was already very clever and walked out, but Lin Qingluan stopped him: "There is also a little eunuch named Lu De in this palace, you bring him with you, this palace has something to ask him." ”
"Yes." Yu An saluted very respectfully and left quickly.
Yu Bao also took this opportunity and asked Hongyu for some details.
What Hongyu said was very true, as if it was really Hibiscus who had come to her twice, so Lin Qingluan asked, "Then do you remember what day it was?" When? ”
"I don't remember the first time, but last night was before the end of the day, because it was just the end of the day when the slave and the girl returned to the house." Ruby said.
"Concubine, where was your palace maid last night?" Zhai Hanjing asked.
Lin Qingluan spread his hands: "After realizing that she has the heart of a traitor, the concubine doesn't like to use her, except for An Lan on weekdays, it is Kapok and Mutang who are waiting by her side, and I really don't know where the hibiscus is at that hour." ”
"Back to the emperor, back to the queen, back to the master, the slave and maid live in the same room with the hibiscus, and the slave and maid went back before the end of last night, and the hibiscus was really not in the house at that time, and it took about a moment to come back." Kapok replied.
She said it clearly, and Lin Qingluan had no intention of stopping her, but Zhai Hanjing and Concubine Xian were strangely silent, probably not understanding why Lin Qingluan's palace maid would come out to "blow herself up".
But after thinking about it, Concubine Xian was still working hard: "Where did the cinnabar of the hibiscus come from?" She is a little palace maid, how can she have cinnabar? ”
She cautiously proposed: "Your Majesty, do you want to ...... Do a search in Wan'an Palace? ”
"What does the queen think?" Shangguan Yan did not answer, but asked about Zhai Hanjing.
Zhai Hanjing's intuition was wrong, and he even felt that the current situation was a little inexplicably familiar. But when Shangguan Yan asked, she didn't dare not answer, nor did she dare to delay, so she replied while searching quickly in her mind: "Concubine ......"
Suddenly, Zhai Hanjing's fingers tightly grasped the armrest!
She remembered!
At the beginning of the year, after Lin Qingluan had just had a miscarriage, she went to Wan'an Palace with her stomach to ask for her guilt, saying that it was her fault that she did not coordinate the palace people and caused the concubine to fall into the water and have a miscarriage, and begged the emperor for forgiveness.
At that time, Shangguan Yan seemed to have such a tone and such an expression, as if he was just asking casually, but at that time, the object of his question was still Lin Qingluan.
Now they asked her with a similar expression and tone!
Zhai Hanjing was inexplicably nervous in her heart, she knew Shangguan Yan, the plea at that time was just an expedient measure, she believed that Shangguan Yan would not indiscriminately blame Lin Qingluan's missteps on her, so she dared to ask for guilt like that.
At that time, when Shangguan Yan asked Lin Qingluan, Zhai Hanjing also understood that Shangguan Yan actually didn't want to convict the queen, but when he said this, he didn't seem to care about the concubine, so he asked the concubine's opinion.
But if Lin Qingluan wants to blame her, it is Lin Qingluan who is ignorant......
And what about today? It's a similar situation, right? It's just that the emperor doesn't want to directly refute Concubine Xian's face, so he wants her to make this ......
Zhai Hanjing's heart turned a thousand times, and he paused for a moment, and finally said: "The concubine thinks that whether this matter was done by the concubine should be carefully investigated." The hibiscus is suspicious, since the concubine said that she is suspected of betraying the master, then why don't you ask the concubine to say why she thinks so. ”
"The queen asked very much, and the concubine was about to say it." Lin Qingluanqian's ten fingers were clasped together very regularly, she sat there upright, and slowly spoke, "Coincidentally, the concubine went out to see the stars on a whim that day, but accidentally broke her foot, and on the way back, Mu Hibiscus volunteered to find the imperial doctor for the concubine." ”
"The palace maid is sincere, is it a sin to go to the imperial doctor?" Concubine Xian said coldly.
Lin Qingluan smiled, his tone was gentle, but he threw out a big thunder when he opened his mouth: "Then he said that he was looking for the imperial doctor, but he was abducted into someone else's palace?" ”
She didn't run away when she spoke, her eyes looked straight at Concubine Xian, and Concubine Xian's heart was beating wildly, and she subconsciously felt impossible!
She has always been around Baocai to contact hibiscus, Baocai is her dowry, it can't be so stupid!
But...... What if?
Could it be that Lin Qingluan had already noticed it?
So today's game, wouldn't Lin Qingluan already know about it, and even ...... Waited for a long time?
At this moment, Concubine Xian's cold sweat came out, if it weren't for Shangguan Yan still sitting here, right in front of her, she was afraid that she would scream out loud, and she couldn't wait to ask Lin Qingluan what he knew and how much he knew!
Lin Qingluan seemed to be torturing her, and asked softly, "Doesn't Concubine Xian ask, where did the hibiscus go?" ”
In just one sentence, Concubine Xian, who asked the question, stiffened, and she opened her mouth several times, but she couldn't ask a word.
Zhai Hanjing didn't notice Concubine Xian's reaction, she only frowned and said: "Since you found out earlier, why didn't you take precautions earlier, or directly send that hibiscus to the Shen Criminal Division, interrogate the people who hooked up with it, and clean up the harem atmosphere?" ”
"The concubine thought at the time, Mu Hibiscus has been by her side since the concubine first entered the palace, and she has been heartfelt all these years, maybe she is just confused for a while, if the concubine treats her better, she can probably still think clearly." Lin Qingluan sighed deeply, "It's a pity, the concubine didn't expect that she would do this......"
As she spoke, she got up and knelt down in the direction of Shangguan Yan and said, "It's the concubine who is arrogant, too laissez-faire hibiscus, I didn't expect it to cause today's situation, and almost harmed Qiu Baolin and the dragon descendant, the concubine is really shameless to face the emperor, and begged the emperor to punish her." ”
"Get up first." Shangguan Yan said, "I have never heard that the palace maid made a mistake and affected the master, and the matter has not yet been cleared, so you don't have to rush to ask for the guilt." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Lin Qingluan held An Lan's hand and slowly stood up, but as soon as he got up, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door.
Yu An arrived with Hibiscus and Ludd.
