Chapter 151: Who Ordered It?
Meng Yuzhu insisted that Du only said stealing people: "The concubine accused Du Changzai of fornicating with others and disturbing the palace, and his crime should be punished, and the concubine took the lives of the whole clan as a guarantee, and begged the emperor to severely punish Du Changzai." ”
The emperor silently thought in his heart: I am not blind.
Du only said: "The emperor invites his concubines to come." ”
Du Zhiyan was dressed in green, like a bud in the middle of the night, and walked along the road.
The concubines followed, neatly and orderly.
Guifei: "Du Shi made such a mistake, the sisters saw it, and she dared to be hard-mouthed." It's really dying and still unrepentant. ”
Tian Lingyue: "Sister Du has been favored by the emperor since she entered the palace, maybe she forgot the palace rules because she was pampered, and Sister Du didn't mean it, right?" ”
Queen: "Du Changzai has already said that the person holding her is not a man, but a woman, Guifeitian promised, you two don't talk nonsense." ”
The emperor walked in front with his hands tied, and Du Zhiyan followed behind him.
The emperor deliberately took two steps slower and waited for Du Zhiyan to step forward, and then grabbed Du Zhiyan's hand, pretending that the clouds were light and the wind was clear: "Du Chang is here, you say, the person holding you is not a man?" ”
"The emperor is wise and martial, that's a woman."
"Oh, oh, so you like women."
Du only said
Your Majesty, your reading comprehension skills are ruthless.
The emperor strode forward, and the posture was like a constantly folding bean pout: "In this way, Du Shi, are you vain and wrongful to me?" Between us, are they all fake? ”
"No, Your Majesty, the concubine is sincere to you."
"Oh, oh, do you eat both men and women? In this way, Du Shi, you are really eight-faced, and you have a wide range of hobbies. ”
Du Zhiyan broke free from the emperor's hand, this man is talking nonsense.
The emperor was obviously a little angry: "Don't you give me an explanation?" ”
"What explanation does the emperor want?"
"Tsk, you see, I'm too lazy to be perfunctory. No wonder every time I go to Taihe Palace to serve me, I am anxious to run, it turns out that the beauty has an appointment, and I am in the way. ”
The emperor is yin and yang, and the others follow to see the excitement.
Du Zhiyan also secretly screamed bad luck in his heart.
Go back to Wanru Hall well, and kill it halfway.
It doesn't matter if the concubine and Tian Lingyue want to cure her to death, after all, they usually don't get along with these two, but the emperor, you are the Son of Heaven, you have the majesty and means of the Son of Heaven, your vision and mind, you look at the words you said, and you can't pick out a good word.
After a journey, after the imperial garden, Du Zhiyan went towards Wanru Palace.
The crowd was ignorant.
It stands to reason that Du Chang should go to arrest the adulterer to prove his innocence, right? Why do you want to go back to Wanru Temple?
Du Zhiyan naturally understands that all the evidence is in Wanruquan.
The first Du Changzai said that it was a woman, and Du Changzai knew where her clothes were hidden. Why is Du Chang now going back to Wanru Palace? Isn't it a big talk to delay time? Concubine Meng Yuzhu walked a few steps briskly and held the emperor's arm.
"Haven't you heard of the concubine, the most dangerous place is the safest, the person who murdered me is now hiding in the Wanru Palace, and now everyone goes to the Wanru Palace to take a look, and it will be revealed." Du only said that he was confident.
Without that pomegranate surveillance, it's all in vain.
Fishing for people at night is like looking for a needle in a haystack, what evidence can she find as a weak woman.
It's different with surveillance, someone enters and exits Wanru Palace, and she really sees it.
The two secret guards landed at the gate of Wanru Palace, and the short knives in their hands were still dripping blood.
"What's going on?" The emperor asked.
"The man is familiar with the terrain and is very skilled in flying cornices and walls. We followed, throwing a short knife that cut his calf. ”
That is to say, whoever in the palace is injured in the calf is very likely to be a villain.
Examine.
Let's start with Wanru Temple.
The minions of Wanru Hall quickly gathered.
The eunuchs led by Nijo and the palace maids led by papaya stood under the porch one after another, slightly lifting the corners of their trousers, and no one was injured in the calf.
"Du Changzai, what do you say?" The corners of Concubine Meng Yuzhu's mouth raised.
"Are you all together?" The emperor asked.
"Back to the emperor, except for the sick sister Xiaowu lying in the room, everyone else has arrived." Two answers.
Hearing that Xiao Wu was sick, the queen was still a little distressed: "When Xiao Wu was in Jingren Palace, his body was always strong, but he couldn't withstand the wind, could it be that he was not adapted to the water and soil of Wanru Palace?" ”
Everyone rushed to the room where Xiao Wu lived, the room was pitch black, and she couldn't see her fingers, because the window paper was thick, even on such a cool night, her room was pitch black. Everyone knew that she couldn't stand the wind and was prone to headaches, so they all got used to it.
Nijo took the lamp, but found that the mist was not in bed.
There was movement in the kitchenette.
When everyone arrived in the kitchen, herring tofu soup was boiling on the stove.
The herring tofu soup is steaming hot in a casserole, with chopped green onions and shredded ginger floating on top.
Xiao Wu put on a pink coat and stood in front of the stove staring at the soup.
The herring tofu soup rolled in the casserole, Xiao Wu took a towel and picked up the casserole, and the group of people who suddenly came in seemed to be scared of her, as soon as the towel in her hand was loosened, the casserole burned her hand and fell down, the herring tofu soup spilled out, the hot soup spilled onto her body, and Xiao Wu fell to the ground in pain and covered her legs.
The queen's heart tightened.
The emperor frowned.
Xiaowu wanted to salute everyone, but struggled but couldn't stand up, so he could only lie on the ground and make a weak voice: "The slave maid saw that Du Changzai had not come back, thinking that Du Changzai might not have eaten dinner, and was afraid that Du Changzai was hungry. ”
"Xiaowu often served soup when she was in Jingren Palace, and she was very considerate to the palace, she made soup when she was sick, and the emperor would be gracious." The queen interceded for Xiaowu, and asked Gui Yuan to go back to Jingren Palace to get burn medicine.
"Lift the corner of the fog and take a look." Du Zhiyan's voice was cold.
This surprised everyone, Du Zhiyan has always been kind to people, and he has never been so unkind to the minions of the lower classes.
Even Tian Lingyue couldn't stand it anymore: "Sister Du, Xiaowu, she serves her sister carefully, every word and deed is for her sister, so late at night, she also wants to make soup for her sister, and now she is burned, shouldn't my sister call the imperial doctor to take a look first?" In our palace, there is no case of mistreating people. ”
Erjo is loyal to Du.
Anyway, Du only said that he would pick up anyone's pants.
Although he thinks that Xiaowu is good, but now he can only lift Xiaowu's pants.
The legs of the small fog under the corners of the pants were blurred with blood.
Red, white, flesh and blood.
After all, it is a piping hot herring tofu soup, poured directly on the legs, it can be imagined.
Xiaowu's face was pale, and he almost fainted,
The emperor looked at it coldly.
Concubine Meng Yuzhu couldn't stand it: "Although this slave is not from Changle Palace, Du Chang is too ruthless to his subordinates, look at her legs are burned, is it possible that Du Chang is suspecting that she is a villain?" ”
"Not a doubt, it's a certainty."
"Du Changzai don't believe it, this slave is the queen's mother to reward you, when she was in Jingren Palace, she served thoughtfully and thoughtfully, and now when she arrives in Wanru Palace, Du Changzai says that she is a villain? I'm afraid it's not because Du Chang was caught stealing people, and he can't protect himself, so he just catches a slave to apologize? ”
Xiao Wu's face became more and more thin and pale, and she trembled her lips and fell in front of Meng Yuzhu: "Du Changzai is very good to the slave maid, and please don't blame the concubine Niangniang, if Du Changzai offended the Niangniang for something, please also ask the maid to raise her noble hand, if you really can't tolerate it, the slave is willing to accept any punishment for Du Changzai." It doesn't matter if you want the life of a slave. ”
Xiaowu's statement made the queen's eyes red.
I still remember the heavy snow that year, the queen mother has been not favored, in Cining Palace was reprimanded, three hours of reprimand, not a drop of water, on the way back to Jingren Palace dizzy and almost fell, it was Xiaowu this slave who braved the cold frost and snow to carry the queen mother on her back, and carried it back to Jingren Palace.
The deep footprints in the snow impressed the queen, and that time she went back, Xiaowu had a high fever for three days.
Du Zhiyan also thinks that Xiaowu's drama is very good. Even, not under Meng Yuzhu and Tian Lingyue.
At first, the queen sent her to Wanru Hall to serve, and she was really attentive. Wanru Palace's affairs, large and small, she asked, she worried about everything, saving Du Zhiyan a lot of trouble.
Even in the small kitchen, Xiao Wu also studied carefully, and she could cook those recipes in the shortest possible time.
If she showed any flaws, she really didn't.
She is diligent, she is attentive to Du, and she is also tolerant and friendly to the eunuchs and palace maids.
Even the nectarine that always makes mistakes, she is tolerant and kind.
The bad thing is that Du only said that there is monitoring.
Surveillance isn't clear, but it's not deceiving.
Du Zhiyan saw through the pomegranate, obviously saw Xiao Wu in pale clothes jumping back to Wanru Hall from the roof, because the pomegranate monitoring was on the roof, so when Xiao Wu passed by, the pomegranate monitoring also gave her a big close-up, facial features, Du Zhiyan could see it clearly.
It's Xiaowu pretending to be Cui Zhen, causing people to misunderstand, but he just wants to give Du Zhiyan an a charge of stealing people, if this crime is convicted, not only Du Zhiyan will die, I'm afraid Cui Zhen will also die without a place to be buried, and the plan of killing two birds with one stone is very vicious.
Xiao Mi will definitely not admit it.
The monitoring can only be watched by Du Zhiyan alone.
Everyone has a high opinion of Xiao Wu, and even the queen feels that Xiao Wu is loyal and reliable.
To punish Xiaowu is to be the enemy of everyone.
How to let everyone see the true face of Xiaowu?
Du Zhiyan had already made preparations: "Erjo, turn off the lights in the small kitchen." ”
When the lights in the small kitchen went out, it was plunged into darkness.
In the darkness, the mist glows with a lilac glow. This lilac fluorescence is like the appearance of the first morning glow, faint, translucent, but continuous.
When the lights came on again, everyone could see clearly that there was a lot of lilac powder on the small mist white shoes.
Xiaowu hurriedly took off her shoes, but it was already late, on the way back, she had more or less these powders, the moonlight was very good this night, these powders shone in the moonlight, like scattered stars.
The fluorite dust sprinkled along the way gathered into a glowing line.
The trail of small fog is unobstructed.
The previous time the palace was haunted, Du only knew that someone wanted to use ghosts and gods to make trouble.
As a precaution, she first bought fluorite powder in the system.
If there is no trace of the ghost, then the fluorite powder is useless.
If he is pretending to be a ghost, fluorite powder can make him reveal his true form.
Of course, Xiaowu didn't know that when she hugged Du Zhiyan tightly, Du Zhiyan quietly took out fluorite powder from his sleeve and sprinkled it on her shoes.
"Pretending to be my cousin Cui Zhen, I sprinkled fluorite powder on her shoes, Xiaowu, you ran all the way, although you escaped the secret guard, but the fluorite powder along the way can't deceive people. If you don't believe it, you can go out and take a look at this lilac fluorite powder. Fluorite powder doesn't lie, it records the movement of the fog tonight. ”
Looking out, sure enough, outside the small kitchen, under the flowers on the fence of Wanru Palace, there are traces of lilac, which should be sprinkled fluorite powder. The lilac line climbed up the palace and fell down the palace wall, and stretched out along the long corridor, which was the direction in which everyone came.
Xiao Wu refused to admit it: "Du Changzai, please don't frame the slave maid, the slave and the maid don't know why there is fluorite powder on the shoes, the slave and the maid were framed." ”
Meng Yuzhu looked at the fluorite powder and said: "The fluorite powder can't speak, it's hard to guarantee that it's not the evidence that Du Chang is framing others, who in the palace doesn't know, Du Chang has a lot of ghost eyes." If you want everyone to believe that the person who has a private meeting with you tonight is either someone else or Xiaowu, then please Du Changzai come up with evidence. Hongu remembered that the person was wearing a pale shirt, and Xiaowu was wearing a pink coat, which was obviously not. ”
"The pale shirt is in the kitchenette." Du was not in a hurry.
Du only said that it is a permanent position, and the position is not high, so the small kitchen is not big.
In addition to two stoves, two cases, a large cabinet, three or five iron pots, and several sand boilers, that is, all.
The big cabinet was opened, and there was a basket of washed herring, two baskets of eggs, some celery and other things, and no clothes.
"Du Chang is here, where are the pale clothes?" Meng Yuzhu sneered.
Of course, Du Zhiyan didn't know where it was.
Xiaowu turned to her bedroom, because there was a secret guard to follow, for fear of exposure, she hurriedly took her clothes to the small kitchen, obviously to make soup for Du Zhiyan, but secretly came to burn the clothes.
There was no surveillance in the kitchen, and Du only said that he couldn't see where Xiaowu had hidden his clothes.
But if you look closely, she will definitely find a way to burn it in order to prevent exposure.
Stove.
Du Zhiyan took a look into the stove, and sure enough, there were pale clothes stuffed inside, and there were a lot of blood stains on the clothes, which should have been the blood that was injured by the secret guard when he fled back.
Conclusive.
There was an imperceptible smile on the corner of the emperor's mouth.
It seems that Du Chang has a misunderstanding in a private meeting with a foreign man, and it seems that Du Zhichang still loves himself.
The emperor gave Gao Rang a look, and Gao Rang decisively searched Xiaowu's body.
A mask fell out from under the pink coat, which was worn by the man before.
It seems that the person who met Du Zhiyan privately is Xiaowu.
Xiaowu pretended to be Cui Zhen and finally revealed his flaws.
Gao Rang hugged the dust and said softly: "Xiaowu, now you honestly say that the emperor is merciful and can spare your life, if there is something untrue, then you may suffer a little." Tell me, who instructed you? ”
