Chapter 356: The Mystery of Mung Bean

Luo Lan rubbed those mung beans with his fingers, and then raised his eyebrows and said:

"I've just seen this mung bean, and it has the marks left by that person."

After saying this, she blinked her eyes slyly a few times, looked at Leng Yu, and said with a serious face:

"Xianggong, you order someone to make a wooden box, leave a hole that can only accommodate one hand to reach into, put some mung beans in it, and then blindfold everyone, and then let everyone touch these mung beans, and then I will know who is the culprit through the hand prints left on these mung beans and the mung beans in my hand."

After saying this, she glanced at Leng Yu, Leng Yu nodded understandingly, and after he whispered to Xiao Lingzi, he ordered him to prepare mung beans.

Seeing this, the emperor waved his hand there directly with a serious face:

"Since you want to investigate, then investigate thoroughly, spread my will, all the people on the scene, whether it is the prince, the concubine or the ministers who are watching the excitement, as long as the people who have just come here, they must check together."

Hearing this, everyone held their breath and did not dare to speak.

After a while, everyone except the emperor and Luo Lan and Leng Yu were blindfolded, Xiao Lingzi held a wooden box covered with a black cloth, stood in front of Leng Yu and asked,

"Lord Wang, are you starting?"

Leng Yu looked at Luo Lan with a sideways face, Luo Lan looked at these people standing in several rows, nodded to Xiao Lingzi and said:

"Now and in the past, let everyone put their hands in and touch these mung beans, and no one can take off the veil from their eyes until everyone has finished touching them."

After Xiao Lingzi received the order, he took the lead in front of Leng Xi, and Leng Xi was a little disdainful of this, would he harm his own child? However, his father's words did not allow him to refute, so he reached into the wooden box and rubbed the mung beans vigorously.

Next is Leng Ming, then Li Guifei, Chang Guifei......

Although this matter was ordered by Concubine Chang, she didn't do it herself, so she wasn't worried about being found out, but she just gave Mama Yu a look, and she didn't know if she could see it.

In this way, one by one, these people put their hands into the wooden box, kneaded the mung beans for a while, and then took their hands out.

The emperor looked at everyone solemnly, Leng Yu's eyes were cold, and Luo Lan stared at the hands of everyone who had touched the mung bean.

After a while, Xiao Lingzi came back with the wooden box,

"Princess, I've touched it all, what now?"

The corners of Luo Lan's mouth twitched and shouted to everyone:

"Now everyone stretch out their hands that have touched the mung beans, let me see your hands......"

Hearing this, Leng Xi raised his head and was the first to stretch out his hand, and Luo Lan clearly saw that there were traces left by green paint on his hand.

She looked at them one by one, and these people, without exception, had green paint on their hands, but when she walked up to Mama Yu, she found that her hands were very smooth and there was no paint at all.

She suddenly snorted coldly and said to Xiao Lingzi:

"Tie this mama up."

Hearing this, everyone panicked, Xiao Lingzi led someone to pull Mama to the emperor, and after taking away the cloth from her eyes, she shouted in a panic:

"Princess Yu, what are you doing here? I don't have anything on my hands, and you can't blame the good guys. ”

Luo Lan came to her, looked at her hands that were as smooth as a wall, and said to Xiao Lingzi:

"Let's take off the veil from our eyes!"

When everyone heard this, they ripped off the cloth, and one of the palace maids exclaimed:

"My hand...... How are my hands green? ”

Seeing this, the rest of the people also exclaimed how their hands had turned green, Leng Xi looked at his green hands, and his brows suddenly knotted.

Luo Lan held his waist with one hand and said to the emperor:

"Father, everyone's hands are green, which proves that everyone has no ghosts in their hearts, and they have touched those mung beans, but Mama Yu's hands are not stained with green at all, which proves that she didn't touch those mung beans at all, which is enough to show that she has ghosts in her heart, and she doesn't dare to touch them, so those mung beans must have been put by her."

Hearing this, Mama Yu was suddenly a little flustered, Chang Guifei didn't say anything with a dark face, she wanted to wait and see how things would develop, and then make plans.

The emperor suddenly shouted,

"Mama Yu, you are so bold, you dare to poison Princess Xi, you say, who made you do this?"

Hearing this, Concubine Li's mouth was filled with a hint of pride, and when she looked at Concubine Chang, she had a gloating expression.

Mama Yu saw that the matter could no longer be hidden, so she hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy:

"Your Majesty, it's the old slave's fault, the old slave mistakenly spilled the mung beans that were ready to be boiled porridge, but he didn't want to cause Princess Xi to fall on his heels, the old slave was wrong, please punish the emperor."

"You talk nonsense."

Concubine Li suddenly took two steps forward and shouted:

"Before the start of the flower viewing feast, Concubine Ben ordered someone to take care of every inch of land in the back garden, don't say that these mung beans, even a hair has been cleaned up, but you say that this mung bean is used by you to make porridge? What are you doing in the Imperial Garden? Obviously, you did it on purpose, and you say, who made you do it? ”

Concubine Li wished that she would say now that this was what Concubine Chang instructed her to do, but Mama Yu had been following Concubine Chang for more than ten years, how could she betray her master?

So, she gritted her teeth and simply replied directly:

"Yes, I deliberately spilled those mung beans, I just wanted Princess Xi and Princess Yu to fall on their heels, and I wanted them to have a miscarriage ......"

"Smack!"

Before she could finish speaking, Concubine Chang suddenly rushed out with an arrow step, slapped her hard in the face, and said coldly:

"Bold dog minion, you dare to do such a despicable thing behind my back, you are really a thing that doesn't know whether to live or die."

Mama Yu stared at Concubine Chang with reddened eyes, looked at Concubine Chang with anger on her face, bowed her head and replied:

"The old slave is guilty, please punish the mother."

The emperor, who was angry, suddenly gritted his teeth, pointed at Mama Yu, and shouted:

"Come on, pull down this slave who doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, and kill him with a rod."

Hearing the words "cane killed", Mama Yu suddenly panicked, she looked up at Chang Guifei, "Niangniang, you say a word for the old slave, the old slave has been following you for more than ten years, and there is no credit and hard work." ”

But no matter how Mama Yu begged, Concubine Chang did not intercede for her, but looked at her coldly, and said in a cold voice:

"You can't live if you do your own evil, Mama Yu, even if you follow me for the rest of your life, you do such an intolerable thing, even if the emperor doesn't kill you, I won't allow you."

Hearing this, Mama Yu knelt on the ground decadently like a deflated balloon.

At this moment, two guards came over, pulled her arm up and dragged her aside, seeing that she was really going to be killed by a cane, but Chang Guifei was indifferent and didn't even look at herself, Mama Yu suddenly shouted frantically:

"Your Majesty, it was Concubine Chang who asked the old slave to do this, and the old slave was also forced to be helpless, please ask the emperor to be clear."

Hearing this, Concubine Chang's face turned pale, she hurriedly knelt on the ground, shook her hands vigorously and shook her head,

"Your Majesty, she is talking nonsense, she is framing her concubines, come on, pull her down and cut her down, don't let her talk nonsense here."

Mama Yu gasped and said with a hideous face:

"Concubine Chang, the old slave never thought that your heart would be so ruthless, this matter was asked by you to do it, and the mung beans were also bought by you Ruyi out of the palace, the emperor didn't believe it, but asked the girl Ruyi next to her to come out to fight."

The emperor was already angry, and when he heard Mama Yu's words, where did he still have the heart to listen to Concubine Chang's explanation, but directly thundered and said angrily:

"Where's the wish?"
