§§Chapter 158: The Truth Revealed
The afternoon sun gradually warmed up, and Dongfang Jun specially ordered his subordinates to make a pot of tea for Nangong Yuelan.
Nangong Yuelan was sipping tea while patiently listening to the woman and the four men scrambling to tell the truth of the matter.
"Thirteen princes, do you believe in the slave maid, this is how things come and go, the slave and maid don't dare to say a word!" The woman knelt on the ground, pressed her hands on the ground, her forehead pressed tightly against the ground, and she didn't dare to raise her head from beginning to end.
She was originally the maid beside Niu Lixin in the Twilight Pavilion, but this time she followed Niu Lixin to the Thirteen Princes' Mansion, and she has been serving this master for so long, and she knows her temperament very well. So when Niu Lixin asked her to do this, she didn't dare to disobey.
Fortunately, Niu Lixin promised her, and after doing this, she would give her a considerable amount of money, and then secretly let her out of the palace and let her live a free life with the money.
Who doesn't yearn for the days of freedom, so she nodded her head in agreement.
To tell the truth, the struggle between women in a large family is always indispensable, the intensity does not have to be bad on the battlefield, she follows Niu Lixin's side, this kind of thing, I have seen too much.
The four men were all hired by Niu Lixin from outside, and it is said that they all have some skills, and they will do things without leaving a trace and will not be discovered, and they will run far away after taking the money.
But she really didn't expect that in just three days, she and the four men would be arrested.
"There is not a word of nonsense!Heh, can I trust you?" Nangong Yuelan put down the teacup in her hand and stared at the woman lying on the ground, as well as the man kneeling beside him, trembling all over.
"Lord Wang, Lord Wang, the little ones can testify that everything she said is true!" When those men came into contact with Nangong Yuelan's eyes, they suddenly fell to the ground together and said loudly.
If it weren't for someone instigating us, people like us who don't even know where the gate of the palace would open, how could they sneak into the palace and frame the princess!"
"Who took off the princess's clothes!" Nangong Yuelan suddenly asked, her voice cold as if an ice arrow had pierced her.
"Huh?" several people looked up in unison, and then the four men reached out and pointed at the maid in unison, "She!"
"Yes, it's the slave maid who takes off her ......," the maid trembled, "It's the cow beauty who said that it will only have an effect if you take off all your clothes and throw them all over the yard......"
"Yes, since you are so sure......" Nangong Yuelan said, paused, and glanced up at Dongfang Jun, "Then send someone to invite Niu Meiren over!"
"Yes!" Dongfang Jun hurriedly straightened up, nodded at Nangong Yuelan, and turned around and walked out of the courtyard.
This kind of thing, Dongfang Jun originally planned to send his subordinates to do it, but thinking of people like Niu Lixin, he must find a way to shirk and refuse to come, so he should go in person.
At this time, Niu Lixin was sitting in front of the dresser, dressing up, and the doctor would come after a while to show her the pulse, if she was really pregnant with Nangong Yuelan's child, she would have to notify Nangong Yuelan as soon as possible, then in this thirteen palaces, her status is not comparable to anyone.
Just as I was thinking about it, the door was suddenly pushed open.
"The doctor is invited?" Niu Lixin said, turning her head, only to see the maid standing at the door, her expression very complicated.
"What's wrong with you, didn't you ask you to ask for a doctor!" Niu Lixin saw the girl's crying and mourning face, her face changed, and she slammed the wooden comb on the dresser with a snap.
"Niu Meiren, the thirteenth master said to let you go to the study, and specially asked me to invite you over. Dongfang Jun walked slowly to the room and bowed to Niu Lixin and clenched his fists.
Anyway, she is still the master now.
If you don't want her to notice that something is wrong, and you can let her go without any effort, it is to continue to keep her superior.
"Oh, the Thirteenth Master just left from me, and he misses me again so soon!" Niu Lixin got up from the chair with a smile and followed Dongfang Jun out of the room.
"Oh yes. Niu Lixin walked to the door, suddenly stood again, and said to the maid: "The doctor is here, let him go directly to the prince's study." ”
After speaking, he twisted his waist and followed Dongfang Jun to the study.
"Thirteenth Master ......" Before she walked to the door of the study, Niu Lixin's delicate voice came in first, but when she stepped into the study and saw four men and one woman facing the ground, Niu Lixin's face suddenly turned pale, and one did not stand, staggering back slightly.
"Well, the cow beauty came just in time. Nangong Yuelan didn't have too much expression on her face, she couldn't tell whether she was angry or not, but the corners of her mouth were hooked, showing an illusion of smiling and not smiling, "Look at these people, are they familiar? They said, you are their old employer!" As she spoke, Nangong Yuelan stretched out her hand and pointed to the five people kneeling on the ground.
"These people...... These people ......" Niu Lixin looked at the five people on the ground in a panic, and at the same time, the five people kneeling on the ground also looked up at her.
This incident was too unexpected, Niu Lixin didn't expect it at all, but she still instinctively shook her head, and pretended to be calm and said: "I don't know! These five people, the concubine has never seen each other!"
"Yes! Since that's the case, then these five people are lying in front of this king! Come on, pull these five things out who don't know whether they are alive or dead, and beat them to death!" Hearing Niu Lixin's words, Nangong Yuelan's face suddenly showed an impatient expression, and then she stretched out her hand and waved, signaling the person to pull them all out.
"Cow beauty, cow beauty...... If you hadn't asked the little ones to do this, who would have dared to touch the princess!
Seeing that he was about to be pulled out, the five people rushed over in unison, fell at Niu Lixin's feet, pulled Niu Lixin's clothes and ankles, and said loudly: "At the beginning, Niu Meiren said that this matter was absolutely foolproof and would not be discovered, and she also said that if the little ones don't do this, you can get rid of us even if you move your fingers!"
"You let go! You let go of me! You didn't say that when you asked me for money, didn't you say that you would get away! Why are you here now? Why are you here!" Niu Lixin saw that she couldn't get rid of them, so she was angry for a while and scolded.
As soon as he said a word, he immediately shut up and realized that he had said something wrong.
"Oh, what did my beauty just say?" Nangong Yuelan's face suddenly changed, her dark green eyes were like eagles, and she stared sharply at Niu Lixin.
Being stared at like this, Niu Lixin's legs suddenly weakened, she knelt on the ground with a pop, crawled to the feet of Nangong Yuelan, hugged Nangong Yuelan's legs, and cried: "Thirteenth master, thirteenth master, listen to my explanation...... I love you...... I had no choice but to do this!"
"Yes, my beauty, you really opened the eyes of this king!" Nangong Yuelan said, raising her foot and kicking Niu Lixin away.
Perhaps Nangong Yuelan's strength was too great, Niu Lixin was kicked out a long way at once, and she lay heavily on the ground.
Nangong Yuelan knew how hard he kicked this one, just like the force he had when he saw Wei Ruge lying naked on You Mu's bed and pushing her out.
Although Nangong Yuelan knew that something was wrong at that time, and she also felt that Niu Lixin was the most suspicious, but there was no direct evidence, so he indulged her for the past few days.
But now, there was no reason for him to continue to indulge her.
"Thirteenth Master, Thirteenth Master, you can't treat me like this......" Niu Lixin lay on the ground, crying while covering her stomach with her hands, "Concubine, concubine may be pregnant with Thirteenth Master's child...... What if the child has three longs and two shorts!"
"What?" Nangong Yuelan frowned, child, heh, how could this woman have his child in her belly!
"The doctor has already asked me to invite it, it should be outside the door......" Niu Lixin covered her stomach with her hands, with a painful expression on her face.
"Where's the doctor!" Nangong Yuelan looked up at the direction of the gate, and as soon as the words fell, she saw an old man walking in in a hurry, and it seemed that the formation just now frightened him.
"You go and show her if she's pregnant!" Nangong Yuelan only felt a headache, he had never thought of planting his seed in the belly of such a woman.
"Yes!" the old doctor hurriedly walked to Niu Lixin's side, squatted down, and checked her pulse.
Nangong Yuelan noticed that the old doctor's expression was a little surprised, and then carefully checked the pulse again, as if she was afraid of making a mistake.
"How is it!" Nangong Yuelan asked when she saw that the old doctor had withdrawn his hand.
"Back to the Thirteenth Master, this little master is not pregnant!" the old doctor replied affirmatively.
"Hmm. Nangong Yuelan listened and nodded reassuringly.
"What! No way! You must be wrong!" Niu Lixin heard the old doctor say this, rushed over like crazy, and took the old doctor's hand and didn't let go, "You show me again, give me a good look! If I wasn't pregnant, how could I be dizzy and vomit and feel unwell!"
"That...... This little master, that's because you've eaten something indigestible these days, that's why you're ...... like this" The old doctor was so frightened that he retreated again and again. Hearing the old doctor say this, Niu Lixin weakly let go of the old doctor's hand and sat down on the ground.
"Send the doctor back. Nangong Yuelan didn't want this outsider to know more about the affairs in his mansion.
After sending the doctor away, Nangong Yuelan stared at Niu Lixin, and said slowly: "Niu Lixin, you say, you let this king, how to deal with you?"
Niu Lixin was stunned for a moment, hurriedly crawled to the feet of Nangong Yuelan, and begged: "Thirteenth Master, no matter what I do, I care about you too much, I love you too much, Thirteenth Master......"
