"Slave, slave ......"

Ah Yao bent down and looked at Xiangqin, "In front of the emperor, you'd better answer truthfully, if you dare to say half a lie, not only will you lose your head, but your whole family will lose your head together." ”

"Slave ......"

Parsley looked weak and spoke hesitantly.

At this time, Concubine Xiao on the side also spoke, "Xiangqin, you'd better listen to A-Yao's words, summon everything truthfully, and don't lie in front of the emperor." ”

Xiangqin glanced at Concubine Xiao, kowtowed to the emperor and said, "It's all done by slaves and maids, it's all the slaves' fault!" ”

"What the hell is going on?" The emperor asked.

"It was the slave who secretly had feelings for Xiao Mu, and when she learned that Xiao Mu was in prison, she would find someone to break into Su Mansion in the name of Concubine Xiao and take away Begonia to save Xiao Mu." Parsley said with tears in her eyes.

Concubine Xiao looked at Xiangqin in surprise, "Xiangqin, you actually ......"

Xiao Mu is the younger brother of Concubine Xiao, and often enters the palace to visit Niangniang, and the slave maid is attracted by his handsome appearance when she sees him for the first time, and falls in love with him at first sight.

Later, every time Xiao Mu entered the palace, the slaves and maids would dress up beautifully and appear in front of him, hoping to attract his attention.

After learning that he was in prison, the slave maid went to beg Niangniang to save Xiao Mu, but Niangniang said selflessly that no matter whether Xiao Mu was guilty or not, she should be handed over to the government to decide, as the imperial concubine, she could not come forward, and the slave and maid really had nothing to do to do so. ”

"Parsley, you're confused!" Concubine Xiao shouted.

Xiangqin not only resisted all the guilt, but also shaped the image of Concubine Xiao so tall.

It seems that Concubine Xiao is indeed very powerful!

Ah Yao looked at Parsley, "What about the earrings?" ”

"The earrings were stolen by the slave maid from the mother."

Ah Yao smiled and shook her head, "Parsley, Parsley, do you know what crime you confessed to doing this?" ”

"One person does things and one person should beg the emperor to give death to the slave and maid, and the slave and maid will apologize for their sins with death!" Parsley kowtowed to the emperor.

Ah Yao sneered and approached her and asked in a low voice, "Do you know who I am?" If you dare to move me, it's a big sin for the Nine Clans! ”

She opened her eyes in horror, pursed her lips and said, "Zhu, Zhu Jiu Clan? ”

If you don't give her some color, she really thinks they're so foolish!

Ah Yao turned around and came to the emperor and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, she is a little palace maid, not only in the name of Concubine Xiao, she sent someone to break into my mansion, but also kidnapped my maidservant and stole Concubine Xiao's finances, which is really hateful, please punish the emperor heavily." ”

"Parsley's sin is unforgivable, punish the nine clans!" The emperor said.

Xiangqin couldn't believe her ears, and hurriedly turned her head to ask Concubine Xiao for help.

Concubine Xiao obviously promised her that if the incident happened, as long as she took care of everything, she would be able to keep her family.

Why do you want to punish the Nine Clans now?

Concubine Xiao's eyes dodged, and she didn't speak for her.

Xiangqin hurriedly shouted: "Ask Concubine Xiao to save the slave!" ”

"Now the only person who can save you is me, as long as you tell the truth, I will consider interceding for you." Ah Yao said.

Xiangqin ignored her words and continued to shout to Concubine Xiao: "Concubine Xiao, save the slave!" ”

Concubine Xiao still didn't react.

Xiangqin shouted for a long time, but Concubine Xiao still didn't react.

Finally, Parsley sat on the ground in despair and looked up at A-Yao.

Sensing that Xiangqin was showing signs of betraying herself, Concubine Xiao immediately gave her little father-in-law not far away a look.

The little guild realized and made a gesture.

Immediately after that, a dark arrow quietly pierced Parsley's chest while everyone was not looking.

There was chaos at the scene, and someone shouted, "There are assassins!" Protect the Emperor! ”

The guards surrounded the emperor.

Parsley spat blood from her mouth and fell into a pool of blood.

Ah Yao immediately stepped forward and used a silver needle to protect Xiangqin's heart, but the sharp arrow pierced Xiangqin's heart, and she was bleeding nonstop, and she had no way to recover.

Seeing that she still had her last breath, A-Yao immediately asked, "Who instructed you?" ”

Xiangqin was so painful that she couldn't speak, so she could only look in the direction of Concubine Xiao with her eyes.

Ah Yao followed Parsley's line of sight, and her gaze happened to fall on Concubine Xiao.

Concubine Xiao also looked at them.

Ah Yao took a deep breath, "This is your own choice, and you can't blame others." ”

Parsley whimpered in pain a few times, and finally swallowed.

Ah Yao sighed and got up.

"How is she?" The emperor asked.

"It's dead."

The emperor was furious, "This is my palace, who dares to commit murder in my palace?" Someone! This murderer must be found out. ”

"Yes."

A few guards were left to protect the emperor, and the rest of the guards went after the murderer.

The emperor glanced at Xiangqin, who had already choked his breath, and then looked at Ah Yao, "Don't worry, I will order someone to continue to investigate this matter, and I will definitely not let go of the thieves who broke into your mansion." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"It's okay if you're fine, do you want me to send some more people to your house to protect you?" The emperor asked.

"No need."

"Then listen to you."

The emperor ordered several people arrested by A-Yao to be sent to the prison of the Criminal Department, and urged the Criminal Department to investigate the case, and personally reported the progress of the case to him every day.

After the emperor ordered to go down, his eyes fell on Concubine Xiao.

"Get up too!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Concubine Xiao came to Ah Yao with an apologetic face, "Ah Yao, I'm sorry, I didn't know that Xiao Mu hurt your maidservant, I will definitely reprimand him fiercely when I turn around." ”

"Just a reprimand?"

Concubine Xiao was speechless for a while.

In her opinion, isn't it just a maidservant, even if Xiao Mu kills that maidservant, it's not a big deal.

Under royal power, the lives of the lowly are like mustard.

"Xiao Mu kidnapped my maidservant in broad daylight, and tried to insult her, after I found out in time, he didn't repent, and even imprisoned her in the room, let a few men insult at will, is there still a little royal law in his eyes?"

Ah Yao's sonorous and powerful questioning made Concubine Xiao speechless for a while, and she couldn't say a word of rebuttal.

The emperor stood aside angrily.

"Today, he Xiao Mumu insulted my maidservant in a lawless manner, will he dare to attack me on the other day?" Yao asked.

"He dares!" The emperor reprimanded angrily.

"The emperor is angry, the concubine will definitely discipline him strictly, if he dares to give birth to such an incident again, the concubine will personally put him in the prison of the criminal department." Concubine Xiao hurriedly begged for mercy.

The emperor didn't answer.

"Please ask the emperor to severely punish Xiao Mu."

As soon as A-Yao's words fell, Rose hurriedly broke in.

Seeing that the situation in the house was not right, Rose explained: "Xiao Gongzi is here, and he is arguing to see Niangniang. ”

Concubine Xiao immediately changed her face.

Ah Yao and Rose secretly exchanged a look, and Ah Yao was the first to speak, "Xiao Mu came just in time, let's see what he has to say as a party." ”

Concubine Xiao had a calm face and scolded Xiao Mu in her heart.

"Let him in." The emperor said.

The father-in-law quickly brought Xiao Mu in, but he didn't expect Xiao Mu to see Ayao at a glance when he entered the house.

"How dare you be here? I won't let you go today! ”

When Xiao Mu rushed towards A-Yao, the emperor and Concubine Xiao spoke at the same time.

"You dare!"

"Stop!"

The former with anger, the latter with worry.

A-Yao raised her eyes and looked at Xiao Mu, "Boss Xiao, don't come to harm!" ”

Knowing that Xiao Mu was coming, she deliberately stood in the most conspicuous position, just to let Xiao Mu see her at a glance, to arouse his anger, and let the emperor see his true face.

Xiao Mu really didn't disappoint her.

Xiao Mu saw the emperor and immediately saluted respectfully, "The grass people see the emperor, see Concubine Xiao." ”

"What did you just say?" The emperor asked.

Concubine Xiao came to Xiao Mu angrily, raised her hand and slapped him in the face.

"Look at the good things you have done, you quickly admit your mistakes to the emperor, say that you will never dare next time, and ask the emperor to spare you."

"Sister, what are you talking about?" Xiao Mu was said to be confused.

"It's been now, you still don't admit it, you quickly admit your mistake."

Xiao Mu pushed Concubine Xiao away, pointed at Ah Yao and said, "It just so happens that the emperor is also here, then I will sue the emperor." ”

"Xiao Mu!"

Xiao Mu didn't know the seriousness of the matter at all, and said proudly: "Your Majesty, Ayao broke into the Xiao Mansion at night and set fire to it, and burned to death several house slaves in the Xiao Mansion, and then the fire spread to his father's room and burned his father. ”

"What did you say?" Concubine Xiao's face changed again.

"Sister, you heard it right, A-Yao went to Xiao Mansion to set fire, and my father almost died in the fire, arson is a big crime, please punish the emperor!"

Unable to care about the crime of A-Yao, Concubine Xiao hurriedly asked, "How is my father?" ”

"Fortunately, I found out in time and rushed into the fire to rescue my father, otherwise our father would really be gone."

Concubine Xiao glared at Ah Yao, "Even if you have a personal grudge with Xiao Mu, it won't hurt my father, why do you want to set fire to Xiao Mansion ruthlessly?" ”

The emperor's face was full of sadness, and his head was loud from them.

"Enough! You are all quiet. ”

Concubine Xiao's sister and brother glanced at each other, but they didn't dare to speak.

The emperor held his forehead with one hand and looked at Ah Yao with a sad face, "Ah Yao, what is going on?" ”

"Back to the emperor, I broke into the Xiao Mansion last night to save Begonia, and when I saw Begonia being violently insulted by several men, I killed those men and set fire to that room."

Ah Yao was so frank, which made the emperor even more embarrassed, "How can you set fire to Xiao Mansion?" ”

"I'm guilty of arson, I admit it, but Xiao Mu kidnapped Begonia, and let people commit violence against Begonia, and I also asked the emperor to condemn him."

The emperor was embarrassed.

Whether Xiao Mu is guilty or not is a trivial matter, the important thing is that A-Yao admits that he set the fire.

If A-Yao is not punished, it is unjustifiable in legal theory.

But Ah Yao is his and Soho's daughter after all, where can he bear to punish Ah Yao.

The emperor sighed again and again.

Seeing this, Concubine Xiao stepped forward and proposed: "Ah Yao and Xiao Mu are still young and ignorant, if they are both willing to settle things, the sins of both sides will be offset, right?"

We don't blame Ah Yao for setting fire, and Ah Yao shouldn't care about kidnapping a little maid. ”

If it was in the past, the emperor would definitely not approve of Concubine Xiao's proposal.

But now it's about Ah Yao, and the emperor thinks this proposal is good.

As soon as the emperor wanted to finalize the matter, he heard A-Yao speak firmly.

"I don't want to offset!"
