Chapter 183: How Did She Survive
Li Yuejiao wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said in a low voice: "Yesterday evening, the little girl came out of the palace banquet, accidentally got lost, and accidentally broke into the vicinity of the study of Zhaode Palace. When I went back, the handkerchief accidentally fell on the steps of the study, just as the emperor and His Royal Highness came out of the study, the little girl was about to come forward to salute, but she was too nervous and almost fell, or Zhu Gonggong helped the little girl......"
When Shen Lingxi heard this, he turned his head to look at Chu Yan, his apricot eyes slightly raised.
She knew that.
If it weren't for that, Li Yuejiao would not have angered Mu Xue'e and was beaten by her.
Chu Yanjian's eyebrows frowned slightly, as if he was reminiscing.
He was called to the study by the emperor, and the emperor was on the side of him the whole time to knock on his relationship with Shen Lingxi.
Before her consent, in order to prevent the emperor from rashly giving the marriage of the two of them, Chu Yan could only choose to talk to him in front of the emperor.
is focused on dealing with the emperor, and Chu Yan really has no impression of the things on the side.
"Is there such a thing?" Chu Yan looked sideways at Gonggong Zhu, his voice was not angry and arrogant, "I don't remember." β
"Indeed......
Gonggong Zhu didn't seem to be asking when he heard what he said, as if he was hiding a threat, and hurriedly added: "His Royal Highness only cares about talking to the emperor, and he must not have paid attention." Speaking of which, Miss Li's eyebrows were drawn yesterday...... It's very interesting, even the emperor thinks it's novel when he sees it. β
Having said that, but in Zhu's heart, he couldn't help but slander: So Jiaodidi, a beauty, is about to fall on you, can you remember?
I'm afraid it's hard to admit it in front of Miss Shen, so let him cover it up.
Oh, I didn't expect His Royal Highness the Imperial Sun, who has always been iron-faced and selfless, and people are afraid of ghosts, to be afraid of the inside.
Not to mention that Gonggong Zhu didn't believe it, even Shen Lingxi was surprised by Chu Yan's denial.
However, she knew that His Royal Highness the Grand Grandson didn't need to lie about this kind of thing, and she really didn't remember such a thing.
Li Yuejiao wiped away her tears, "The little girl is really just lost, everything is just a coincidence, but I didn't expect to be seen by the county lord of Bingqing, the county lord thought that the little girl was specially going to seduce His Royal Highness, and was very angry, and after returning to Yuxiu Palace, he took the maid to the door and lynched the little girl." β
Speaking of this, Li Yuejiao seemed to be extremely sad, covered her face with a handkerchief, and sobbed.
Seeing this, the maid on the side mustered up her courage and said timidly: "The maid next to the county lord beat my master with rattan, and my master's body is already delicate, if it weren't for Miss Xu and Miao Lingdao to stop it, the maid next to the county lord is afraid that she will beat my girl to death." β
When Chu Yan heard this, his face was covered with ice.
It's just a woman he can't remember at all, and when she appears briefly in front of him, she can be severely beaten in this palace.
What if one day, everyone knows that he wants to marry Shen Lingxi?
Could Shen Lingxi be treated like this in a place he couldn't see?
Chu Yan didn't dare to think deeply at all.
"Aunt Liu, in this harem, as long as your status is higher than others, can you lynch people at will?" He said in a deep voice.
There was a displeased coercion all around her, so that Aunt Liu did not dare to raise her head.
Aunt Liu stiffened, "Back to Your Highness, the queen has always been kind and generous, and sympathetic to her subordinates. Su Rili would never allow this to happen...... It's just that when I went out of the palace this time, there were not many people in the palace with me, and the slave thought that the girls all knew the rules and the general situation, so they didn't send anyone to keep an eye on it, so ......"
These are just pretexts.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that because Mu Xue'e is the queen's niece, no one dares to take care of her acting in this palace.
Chu Yan glanced at her coldly, and said to Zhu Gonggong: "The affairs of the harem, although it is under the jurisdiction of the queen, can be lynched against the officials and their dependents, which has violated the laws of the Great Zhou, and I hope that my father-in-law will truthfully report this matter to the emperor." β
Gonggong Zhu hurriedly responded.
Chu Yan's dark eyes looked at Aunt Liu, and warned in a cold voice, "If you hear such a thing in the harem again in the future, you will definitely follow the laws of Zhou, show the emperor, and come to the palace to get people in embroidered clothes." Aunt Liu is not only the head of Kunning Palace, but also assists the queen in managing the harem, and does not save her when she sees death, does not report it when she knows it, or deliberately covers it up, causing trouble, and it is difficult to escape the responsibility, and I hope that my aunt will take it as a warning. β
When Aunt Liu heard the words "take it as a warning", she felt like she had escaped from death, and hurriedly responded.
Even with these beatings, Chu Yan was still not at ease.
He originally thought that by marrying Shen Lingxi, he would be able to protect her under his wings.
But now, he still thinks too little-
Even if you become a parent, you have to keep her under your nose from time to time to really protect her.
Shen Lingxi didn't know at all, but he was just trying the case, and in the heart of the imperial grandson, he had become a key object of protection for "being weak and unable to take care of himself".
All she wanted to know was what had happened last night.
Seeing that Li Yuejiao's crying gradually stopped, she asked again: "Miss Li told me about yesterday's incident in such detail, but because of last night's incident, is it related to this matter?" β
Li Yuejiao sobbed and nodded.
"I woke up last night in a daze to find my eyes covered, my mouth gagged, and I wasn't in my room. I was so frightened that I didn't dare to make a sound, pretending that I was still in a coma, and overheard the voice of the county lord of Bingqing......"
ββ¦β¦ She asked the maidservant to hang me on the beam of the house with a white silk, and wanted to hang me, saying that I was only a concubine anyway, and I was not happy with my father, even if I died, the Li family would not pursue ......"
ββ¦β¦ She also asked people to arrest Miss Xu and Miao Ling Daoist together, and when I died, she pushed my death on the two of them, and made them become people who secretly pleaded with me to find a short-term view and couldn't save me when they died. If the two of them have such a reputation, they will no longer be able to rob His Royal Highness the Imperial Sun with the Lord of Bingqing County......"
When they heard this, their faces changed.
Originally, they all thought that Mu Xue'e was just relying on the power of the queen to bully a weak woman like Li Yuejiao.
Unexpectedly, her mind was so vicious that she wanted to use one life to blame the other two people.
If you ask others to find a short-term opinion, you are guilty of a taboo of tongue, so you can no longer be qualified for the position of the prince and concubine.
Chu Yan's deep eyes were already cold.
Shen Lingxi was also speechless.
Such a plan, in her opinion, is simply full of loopholes.
This kind of thing, how can it be said that if you plant it, you can plant it?
Mu Xue'e is also too naΓ―ve.
It was she who really killed Li Yuejiao and wanted to frame Shen Lingxi.
Shen Lingxi also had a hundred ways to splash dirty water back on her head.
"So......" Shen Ling asked thoughtfully, "If they want to kill you, then how did you survive?" β
Li Yuejiao took out a silver hairpin from her sleeve, "This hairpin is a relic left to me by A-Niang, when A-Niang was young, she walked the rivers and lakes." This hairpin can hide drugs, and in times of crisis, even a cow can be drugged, and I always carry it with me. β
"I hid the hairpin in my sleeve, and when they came to catch me, I stabbed the hairpin at the comer, and I pierced two people in total, and both of them were poured out by me, and only the last ......one was left."
As she spoke, her eyes red again, "I thought the last one could be medicated, but I didn't expect someone to knock me out from behind......"
"She's lying!"
At this moment, a voice came from the side, and a muddy maid stumbled in under the escort of Chunjun......
