As soon as the empress finished speaking, she saw Xiao Tao's body stiffen, and a trace of weakness flashed in her eyes, and then she straightened her waist, quickly suppressed the panic in her heart, pretending to be casual, and waiting for the final result.

Soon, the guards beside the empress found the golden hairpin under Xiao Tao's pillow, and then brought it to the empress as quickly as possible and presented it.

"Your Majesty, it is this golden hairpin, this is what Her Royal Highness the Sixth Emperor gave to the slave maid, and she also promised the slave maid that as long as the matter is completed, she will give the slave and maid another sum of silver, and even promise to let the slave and maid get out of the slave and maid from the slave of the Great Empress Mansion, so that the slave and maid can regain their freedom. When Xiao Tao saw Jin Hai, she spoke again, and deducted another charge for Nie Xinyao.

"Xiao Tao, this palace doesn't think it's doing what you said, why do you want to target this palace? Also, if this palace really buys you, how can you tell the truth so easily?" Nie Xinyao defended.

In fact, Nie Xinyao's defense was very weak, and in the eyes of everyone in the audience, it was just a strong argument after the truth was exposed, and there was no convincing force at all.

"That's because the slave and maid regretted it, and the slave and maid were confused for a while, so they agreed to help the six princesses do things, but the slave didn't want to be wrong anymore, and they didn't dare to deceive Your Majesty, so they admitted everything. Xiao Tao said, "Your Majesty wants to punish the slave and maid, the slave and the maid have no complaints, even if the slave and maid are killed, the slave and the maid have nothing to say, after all, this matter is the slave and the maid did wrong......

"Yao'er, now that the human and material evidence is there, what else do you have to say?" The empress turned her head to look at Nie Xinyao, as if she had believed Xiao Tao's words, and asked.

"Those who are clear are self-pure, and those who are turbid are self-turbid, and the sons have nothing to say. Nie Xinyao only said this sentence, then lowered her head and stopped talking.

The matter seems to have become a foregone conclusion, Xiao Tao's testimony and this so-called golden hairpin are the most favorable evidence to prove the Sixth Emperor Nie Xinyao, besides, Nie Xinyao can't come up with evidence to prove her innocence.

The scene fell silent for a while, the empress did not speak, the second princess looked like she had nothing to do with herself, the third princess was still silent, the fourth and fifth princesses never participated in these battles, the sixth princess knelt on the ground, and the seventh princess had a joy on her face that could not be hidden......

Qingchen's gaze swept over the faces of these people one by one, and he knew in his heart that it was time for her to come out, and this time was also her chance to prove herself to Nie Xinyao. Because Qingchen only told Nie Xinyao in advance that Nie Xinlin wanted to design to harm her, but Qingchen did not tell Nie Xinyao how to resolve it.

"Your Majesty, the servant is a servant in the mansion of the Sixth Highness, and I feel that this matter is very suspicious, can I ask Your Majesty to give the golden hairpin in your hand to the minion to see?" Qingchen stepped forward at this time and spoke.

"Could it be that you can still see a trick with this golden hairpin?" Although the empress said this, she looked at Qingchen with doubts on her face, and handed the golden hairpin out.

Qingchen took the golden hairpin, and knew the empress's thoughts, thinking that the empress was also skeptical that Nie Xinyao would do this. Because this matter is too coincidental, all the evidence is seamless, and the spearhead is directly pointed at Nie Xinyao. It is precisely because of this that the empress feels abnormal, like a trap specially designed for Nie Xinyao.

"This golden hairpin, the slave looks very familiar, it seems to be made by Jubao Zhai in the south of the city. Qingchen took the golden hairpin and looked at it carefully for a while before speaking.

"What does this mean? If you want to exonerate the Sixth Emperor Sister, you have to come up with evidence that can be calmed. The second princess, Nie Xinyi, opened her mouth quietly, and seemed to be very unimpressed by Qingchen's approach. Because in her opinion, it is already an ironclad matter, and Nie Xinyao is the real culprit behind the scenes, but Qingchen prefers to cause more trouble.

"No, the second princess doesn't know, since the source of this golden hairpin can be found, then it must be able to find its owner. The slave heard that the hairpins of Jubaozhai are unique, and every customer can buy their own unique hairpins, so this golden hairpin is the same. We can't conclude that the Sixth Highness is guilty based on Xiao Tao's words, but we should ask the boss of Jubaozhai, the owner of this hairpin, whether it is the Sixth Imperial Daughter. Qingchen explained.

"Listen to the snow, you personally take this hairpin, go to the south of the city to inquire, be sure to find the owner of this hairpin. The empress listened to Qingchen's words, didn't say anything, and turned her head to order the first guard beside her.

Tingxue is the empress's personal guard, she is deeply trusted by the empress, loyal to the empress, and has never been biased against any empress, so it is the most just to let her investigate the outcome of the matter.

Listening to Xue took the golden hairpin from Qingchen's hand and left the Great Queen's Mansion, everyone didn't have the heart to drink anymore, but lowered their heads and whispered in twos and threes, as if they were discussing whether this matter would turn around.

The empress's chest rose and fell, squinting her eyes over the faces of her daughters, taking in everyone's expressions, and finally landed on the body of the six empresses, sighing, not knowing what she was thinking.

Tingxue's efficiency was very high, and she didn't let everyone wait long to come back, and she came back with the boss of Jubaozhai, a lean little old man.

"Say what you just said to me, tell your majesty again. Listen to the snow press the little old man to the ground and say coldly.

"Yes, yes, yes. The little old man nodded again and again, and said, "This golden hairpin is indeed produced by my Jubao Zhai, the grass people's Jubao Zhai, all the jewelry is unique, and each piece of jewelry has our Jubao Zhai's unique mark, others can't fake it." This golden hairpin, the grass people remember that it was a new product just three days ago, and as soon as it was put on the counter, it was favored by a girl, because the girl was very generous and gave a gold ingot, so the grass people remembered it very clearly. ”

"Then do you remember what that girl looked like?" Qingchen heard the little old man's words and asked, "If you find the girl who bought the golden hairpin among so many girls at the scene, can you find it?"

"I can find it, don't look at the grass people's age, but the eyes are good and the memory is not bad, the grass people will definitely be able to recognize it. The little old man nodded.

"Then you can admit that there is no girl here that you said. The Empress spoke coldly.

"The grass people obeyed. The little old man said, and then his eyes crossed the faces of the many girls present, and gradually fell on Baoqing beside Nie Xinlin, and then spoke, "It's her, it's the girl in light green clothes, she came to buy the golden hairpin." ”

Everyone's eyes followed the direction pointed by the little old man's hand and fell on Baoqing's face, and then looked at Baoqing's master, the Seven Princesses, and their eyes gradually changed.

"It turned out to be the Baoqing girl next to His Royal Highness the Seventh. Qingchen squinted his eyes and sighed, "Miss Baoqing is the personal maid next to His Highness the Seventh, and she is also the confidant of His Highness the Seventh, but why does Xiao Tao say that the hairpin was given to her by His Highness Six? In this case, there are only two possibilities, either Baoqing betrayed His Highness the Seventh, or ...... It's Momo who is lying. ”

"Come on, put Baoqing and Xiao Tao down to me, put them in prison, and interrogate them carefully. When the empress heard Qingchen's words, she immediately made a decision, and said immediately, "Okay, I will personally interrogate this matter and give Yu'er an explanation, today is Yu'er's birthday, you can do whatever you want, don't bother about this matter anymore." ”

"Wechen obeyed. The people received the decree and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yao'er, you should also get up, these two servant girls have wronged you by their untruthful words, and when I find out the truth, I will definitely give you justice. The empress picked up Nie Xinyao with her own hands and said so.

"Thank you to the mother, as long as the eldest sister is fine, Yao'er will bear this, it is nothing. Nie Xinyao said very obediently.

As the empress's words fell, this matter was over, whether the six princesses bought Xiao Tao to poison the eldest princess, or the seventh princess used a knife to kill people and frame the six princesses, there is no conclusion, but everyone knows that no matter what happens to the royal family behind closed doors, it will not let outsiders see the joke in vain.

Besides, the empress is not a fool, Baoqing has been by Nie Xinlin's side since she was a child, she is loyal, and she has done a lot of things, how could she easily betray Nie Xinlin? It's just because Nie Xinlin and Nie Xinyao are sisters, so the empress wants to turn big things into small things and small things. But after this incident, Nie Xinlin's status in the empress's heart may not be as good as before.

After the birth of the eldest princess, everyone dispersed quickly, and Qingchen and Ye Di also returned to Nie Xinyao's side, pretending to be servants, and returned to the Six Princes' Mansion.

"I didn't expect Mu Gongzi to know so much about southern Xinjiang, and not long after he came, he even knew exactly what the jewelry of Jubaozhai in the south of the city looked like. The Sixth Imperial Maiden looked at Qingchen, with a look of smiling in her eyes, and said so.

His Royal Highness laughed, he didn't expect things to develop like this, according to what His Royal Highness the Seventh and the Screening Crane discussed, it should be the poisoning of the Great Queen's Daughter, and the evidence was found to be done by His Royal Highness, but His Royal Highness the Seventh took out a holy medicine that could cure all poisons and detoxify the Great Queen's daughter, in order to win the favor of Her Majesty the Queen, as well as the gratitude of the Great Queen. Qingchen said, "But this matter was disrupted by Zaixia, and before His Highness could come up with an antidote, he was found suspicious by Zaixia." ”

"Thanks to Mu Gongzi this time, I will ask Gongzi to help me more in the future, this palace ...... Surely I will not treat my son badly. Nie Xinyao made a promise.

"It's an honor to be here. Qingchen bowed down and said, looking very lucky.

Nie Xinyao didn't say anything more, just let Qingchen have a good rest, and then turned to leave, but Qingchen frowned after returning to his yard.

She saw through the plan for Nie Xinyao and broke Nie Xinlin's game, although she won Nie Xinyao's trust, but it also caused unnecessary trouble, everyone probably thought she was just a servant, but she knew that Nie Xinrou didn't think so, because Nie Xinrou looked at her with some kind of inquiry, as well as scrutiny.

This also made her more sure that Nie Xinyao's biggest enemy was not Nie Xinlin, but Nie Xinrou.
