The Beloved Imperial Consort - Chapter 126

[126. Chapter 126 First Trial]

“Master, the side concubine surrounded the yard!” The little maid panicked, her face as pale as paper.

“Impossible, the news over there has been cut off. The house is also clean, how could she still have clues?” The woman’s eyes were full of hesitation, and the initial affirmation became a little shaken.

The two masters and servants were suspicious, and the outside steward came in to spread the word, saying that the concubine side was going to interrogate the people in the yard one by one in the afternoon tomorrow.

As soon as the steward left, the little maid was trembling, and her words were a little unstable. “Master, the interrogation will take place tomorrow. Does the concubine really have any evidence?”

“What are you panicking about! I just brought someone over to ask, can she still be tortured to extract a confession?

” , how can she be? He has been lurking in the mansion for so many years, and the few things he has done are very obscure and have never been noticed. This time, we will be able to turn bad luck into good luck and get through it peacefully.

“If you dare to make a mistake in the examination tomorrow, do you know the consequences? Your old lady still has a lot of lives, but they are all in the hands of the Lord. Even if the matter is exposed, you have to stand up and find someone to back it up. !” The

little maid fell to the ground with a plop, her lips trembling.

The master is a secret chess meticulously cultivated by the rebels, and this matter is only known after a year with the master. She blamed herself for being greedy at the beginning, receiving heavy bribes from her master, and often doing things for her in private. Later, I inadvertently learned that the master was using his own hands to send news to the outside of the mansion, and the other party was not a good person. Although he was afraid of regret, he was already in the quagmire and could not escape.

When the master asked her for a showdown and threatened the lives of her family, she realized that she was already in a difficult situation and could only go all the way to the dark. Since then, it has become a pawn in the master’s hand, and now I am afraid that retribution is coming.

“Master, if things get to the worst time, the slaves are willing to take the charge. I just ask the master to intercede with the master on behalf of slaves, so that the family can save their lives.” On the ground, he kowtowed to the first woman.

“That’s all. If it wasn’t for the Mu sect pushing too hard, how could I have the heart to send you to death? If you keep knocking so hard, if the skin on your forehead is broken, wouldn’t it be even more suspicious? What you asked for just now? Son, I will definitely do it for you, but you have to be very careful when you ask questions tomorrow. That woman is too shrewd, so be careful of her tricks.” The

next day, in the main hall of Danruoyuan, Mu Xiyao followed by a capable maid, The big steward waited by the side, waiting for her orders.

“Slave, please greet the side concubine.” The four concubines from the Lantai and Zhuyin Second Courts stood below respectfully, with two personal maids behind each.

Mu Xiyao swept her brows, intentionally or unintentionally staying with a few people for a longer time. The corners of his lips curled into a smile, and he raised his right hand lightly and called out.

“I called you here today, and I didn’t intend to avoid it. There are some things, you also sit down and listen.” The

Wu family Kong family in the Lantai courtyard is an old man, and has always been suppressed by Mu Xiyao’s momentum. Real seat. The remaining Qi, who entered the mansion a little later than the first two, had a lot of heart, and a person who saw the wind and steered the rudder on the face. As for Mrs An, since entering the Prince’s Mansion, apart from having breakfast in the Chan Ruo Garden to set rules, she has rarely shown her face. She has always lived with the door closed, and she hardly ever walks with each other. She is still respectful to Mu Xiyao.

“On the first day of this month, on the night when His Highness opened his mouth to build a mansion, the rebels in the middle of Shu sneaked into the Prince’s Mansion, intending to assassinate His Royal Highness. Later, the incident failed and he died on the spot.” Mu Xiyao spoke slowly, watching the people sitting below one by one. In the past, seeing everyone was overly frightened, but I couldn’t see anything unusual.

“The concubine and the concubine of the Fifth Highness were also in danger in Shuixie, and they were almost murdered and lost their lives.”

This is Mu Xiyao deliberately distorting the facts. The fact that she was kidnapped out of the Prince’s Mansion was completely wiped out.

She is not afraid that the inner should expose her to lie in public, but now she is worried that she can’t find any clues. If someone foolishly jumped out to clarify the facts and testified that they were leading the way for the rebels at the time, and tied Mu Xiyao out of the house, it would not happen to hit her at gunpoint. ?

“The concubine’s eldest maid once said that she happened to bump into the back of a sneaky maid at the time. She was suspected of leading the way for the traitors, and led the two thieves into the water pavilion, intending to do something wrong.” Mu Xiyao gently placed her left hand on the table. Caressed, his eyes darkened.

The person who saw the back of the guiding girl was not the girl she mentioned in her mouth, but herself.

He was forced to leave with the rebel party that day, and when he passed a corner on the road, a maid suddenly appeared with a smudged face, and was very nervous to lead the way for the thieves. He was very familiar with the sparsely populated trails in Fuzhong, and he never spoke from the beginning to the end, but only gestured to guide him.

Now it is she who is in the open, and the inner should be in the dark. No matter how bold you are, you will not dare to refute her words in front of others.

“That night, I was able to go to the front to lead the way for the bandits, and I was similar in age to that girl. In the whole house, there was only the second Zhuyin Lantai hospital that had not been investigated. Everyone in those courtyards had provided evidence before. Now, it’s your four-person courtyard’s turn, if anyone is making trouble here, I’ll find out later when I ask.”

Mu Xiyao’s voice finally fell, and she slapped her left hand hard and landed on the table with a bang.

“Dare to collude with traitors and assassinate Your Highness, you have a lot of courage!” ”

If you can find out the fine work buried in the prince’s palace today, you will immediately tie it up and send it to Chan Ruoyuan, and then hand it over to the government!”

After returning to his senses, he saw the woman sitting high on the head lose her temper fiercely, and her face was completely different from before. It was gloomy and fierce now.

“This maid dares to lead the way for the thieves. If anyone dares to cover up and excuse them, they will be punished severely. It is the family rule of the prince’s mansion, and it is a crime to collude with outsiders and murder the prince and concubine. This is the crime of beheading.

” One of them was so powerful that it scared a few women who had never seen the world in silence.

His Highness was assassinated! Even the side concubine almost lost her life. This is simply appalling.

No wonder the entire backyard was banned a few days ago. It turned out to be such a big event. It’s a pity… how did this Mu family have such a big fate?

Now that she is looking for the guiding girl with such a big fanfare, it is inevitable that she will not have any revenge. This matter is not at all sloppy, not only can’t be mixed, but also can’t be jealous of her. Otherwise, if she can’t find the real murderer in the end, and just frame one, isn’t that a big grievance?

“Back to Concubine Concubine’s words, that night, the slave servants did send maids out, but they did not collude with the rebels, but to see the steward in the house and ask for a concubine… for menstrual tapes. Please also ask Concubine Concubine Mingjian, that steward should be in charge. I can prove my innocence for this concubine.”

Mrs Qi blushed and hurriedly cleared away. This crime is too frightening, absolutely unacceptable. Although it was the servant girl who committed the crime, who can guarantee that her master will not be suspected?

“Reporting to the side concubine, the concubine’s maid also went to the laundry room in front to wash the concubine’s dress. After only going out for a while, it should not have anything to do with the thief.”

An shi was frightened and explained the whereabouts of the maid. To be detailed, even how much time the maid went to, she didn’t hide it at all.

The other two maids replied that they never went out and stayed in the yard all the time, and they could also find someone to testify.

“The four of you shouldn’t be in a hurry to defend yourself. No one can tell if there is a detour after going out. The person who stayed in the yard stayed there honestly and didn’t leave secretly for a moment? Everyone said this. Nope? Besides, it is not uncommon for people in a yard to help each other and talk to each other.” Mu Xiyao idly shook the fan with a look of disbelief.

“This… If you have to say this, it’s really impossible to tell the innocence? Concubine Side, isn’t this too harsh?” Kong shi looked embarrassed, and he explained it like this, still not satisfied? Could it be that Mrs. Mu was looking for trouble?

“It’s easy to handle.” Mu Xiyao solved Kong’s doubts in one sentence.

“This concubine, since I was a child, the biggest skill is to listen to the footsteps to identify people. Ever since I followed my concubine, I have never done anything wrong. Let your maids turn around and take a few steps, let her look at her figure and listen to her. Just listen to the footsteps.”

Mu Xiyao raised her eyebrows and looked at the faces of the four women below, and called Mo Lan to come up, as if she was waiting to be caught.

The four looked at each other in dismay, and the concubine on the other side was suspicious of her ability. If it’s accurate, that’s fine, and the innocence is immediately proven. If it’s not accurate, isn’t this being wronged?

“As long as you don’t do that shameful thing in the dark, you don’t have to follow along and worry about it. The concubine looks at people, but at most she has brought out suspicious people, and then needs to be carefully checked. The government does not recognize “listening to identify people” That said, there must be solid evidence, right?”

Mu Xiyao said this, which made most people relieved. As long as it’s not a family’s words, and it also insists on real evidence, then this method is also feasible.

Only one person was frightened in his heart, but he did not dare to show the slightest on his face. Concubine Side also said that even if it is seen by others and there is no evidence, they cannot be beaten. As long as she acts carefully according to her master’s instructions, she will definitely be able to escape this catastrophe.

“Mo Lan, this is the beginning.” Mu Xiyao took the mint tea from Hui Lan and took a sip. Ask the following people to walk back and forth in the main hall in order in front of everyone.

Walking on weekdays, no one deliberately looked at it, and no one felt awkward. Now being stared at by several pairs of eyes from the big and small masters, the eight maidservants left with trepidation, for fear that one of them would be bad and would be arrested as a suspect.

Everyone watched as the maids were sweating on their foreheads, stiffly turning around twice, none of their steps were steady, and they were completely different from walking on weekdays. The cowardly trembling almost tripped himself.

Mu Xiyao’s eyes twitched when she saw the awkward appearance of several people. The maids in the prince’s mansion must be of this level, and they will not be laughed at to death?

Not to mention the Prince’s Mansion, it is a big family, and the maids in the family have not been specially trained, and they will use the best ones. Walking is one of the basic skills, how did she become a marionette-like stumbling when she reached her Danruo Garden?

Is she a witch or what? So deterrent? For the first time, Mu Xiyao realized that she might have a bad reputation in the manor…

Let Mo Lan see people this time, but it’s just a gimmick, to find a reason for her to act below. These little maids are so timid, they didn’t do anything wrong, and they all shivered like chickens. Does everyone have ghosts in their hearts, and they cannot be examined carefully?

Mu Xiyao thought of the privacy of the back house, and her thoughts became more and more biased. Although she was sitting here, her mind was full of various ideas. From now on, there will be less house fights, palace fights, etc.? Review it from time to time, and also prevent others from digging holes for calculations.
