Chapter 172 Complete Disappointment

Chapter172 Completely Disappointed

Empress Dowager Zhuang looked at Hong Jin with some hatred. Just now, when there was nothing, she shouted loudly. Now when it comes to the topic, this Hong Jin looks like dying again. It's really indelicable!

Although she was annoyed with Hong Jin, after all, Hong Jin was the queen selected by Empress Zhuang. Naturally, she would not watch her fall like this, so Empress Dowager Zhuang opened her mouth at this moment.

"Chu Haiyu, what you said is all one-sided. Who knows if you and Li Meiren have colluded to deceive the mourning family and the emperor. It's hard to convince!"

Chu Haiyu nodded gently and said, "Empress Dowager Zhuang said that she really can't be convinced without physical evidence. But the maidservant has physical evidence. Your Majesty, Empress Dowager Zhuang, please have a look. Chu Haiyu said and took out a thing wrapped in a handkerchief from his sleeve.

As soon as Chu Haiyu took out this thing, the eyes of the people in the hall were attracted to Chu Haiyu's hand to see what was in the handkerchief in her hand. Everyone stretched out their necks and couldn't wait to stand in front of Chu Haiyu to see this thing. It seems that there are gossip people everywhere, but because the emperor and Empress Dowager Zhuang are here, these people have restrained a lot. Just put your ears up for fear of missing some important information.

And Chu Haiyu seemed to open the handkerchief slowly and layer by layer.

After all the handkerchiefs were opened, some unknown people secretly saw it and couldn't help wondering. Isn't it just a few dry leaves? What's strange?

The Empress Dowager Zhuang kept holding her heart. Seeing these leaves, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then scolded Chu Haiyu loudly: "Well, with a few rotten leaves, what do you want to explain!"

Only Shen Muchen took a closer look at the things in Chu Haiyu's hand, and then ordered his father-in-law beside him, "Go and take the things in that handkerchief and let me have a closer look."

According to the order, the father-in-law took the handkerchief from Chu Haiyu and turned around and handed it to Shen Muchen.

In this process, Chu Haiyu has never said a word and looks unbridled. Her appearance made the Empress Dowager Zhuang mutter in her heart. It's not that Empress Dowager Zhuang likes this Chu Haiyu very much, but this Chu Haiyu is a little too evil. Not only is she not afraid, but she is also fearless about everything, as if she is in her hands. This will naturally make Empress Dowager Zhuang feel uncomfortable.

The Empress Dowager Zhuang looked at Shen Muchen carefully looking at a few dry leaves in her father-in-law's hand, and even put her nose on it and smelled it. The Empress Dowager Zhuang's heart thumped and said to herself: Isn't it that she has lost her eyes? Is there really any mystery in this leaf?

Without waiting for the Empress Dowager Zhuang to ask, Shen Muchen, who smelled the dried leaves, brightened his eyes and looked at Chu Haiyu and said, "If I'm right, is this Xueding Yunshan?"

Chu Haiyu nodded and said, "Your Majesty Mingjian, these seemingly inconspicuous dry leaves are indeed snow-capped mountains. The maidservant had been worried about doing these things according to the queen's instructions. She was afraid that one day she would be useless and would be disposed of as garbage by the queen, so she kept a heart. When the queen was happy, she asked the maidservant what reward she wanted, and the maidservant asked for these unique snow-capped mountains of the Hong family.

When Empress Dowager Zhuang heard the words "Xueding Yunshan" from Shen Muchen's mouth, she knew that it was not good, and she was more angry with Hong Jin. This brainless Hong Jin doesn't give a good reward, but he prefers to reward this kind of rich and difficult to buy!

However, even so, the Empress Dowager Zhuang still said bluntly, "Chu Haiyu, this snow-top cloud mountain doesn't mean anything. Even if this snow-top cloud mountain is rare, it is hard to guarantee that you will have any other channels!"

The Empress Dowager Zhuang's sentence is obviously to protect Hong Jin. Not to mention how precious this snow-top cloud mountain is, among all the people present, in addition to the emperor and the Empress Dowager Zhuang, there is also a queen who are lucky to drink this snow-top cloud mountain.

Other people have only heard of the name of Xueding Yunshan at best, let alone see it, which is why others didn't recognize it just now. Even Shen Mushu only drank this kind of tea when he was a guest with the Empress Dowager Zhuang, and he did not have one or two in stock.

Others can only mutter in their hearts that Empress Dowager Zhuang is partial and dare not say it face to face, but Shen Muchen dares to say it at this moment. He coughed softly and said, "Mother, don't be impatient. I know that you like the queen in your heart and love her as much as your own daughter. I don't believe that the queen will do these things. So your eyes are confused by love, but mother, think about it carefully, even the third emperor doesn't have this snow-capped cloud mountain. Chu Haiyu's maid, where did he get such a precious thing?

"So," Shen Muchen paused for a moment, "I don't want to accept the answer, but the truth is in front of me! Chu Haiyu must have been in the hands of the queen.

"Even if these tea leaves, Chu Haiyu really got it from the queen, and it doesn't mean anything!" Empress Dowager Zhuang still wants to defend Hong Jin.

"Mother," Shen Muchen interrupted her and reminded her, "The queen just said that she had never seen this Chu Haiyu, but since she could reward Xueding Yunshan, how could the queen not know this Chu Haiyu?" After Shen Muchen's touch, the flaw in Hong's words just now was immediately exposed.

Empress Dowager Zhuang was choked by Shen Muchen and didn't know what to say at this moment. She glanced at Hong Jin and saw that Hong Jin was still bowing her head and didn't know what she was thinking. Suddenly, Empress Dowager Zhuang was so angry that she took three steps and two steps, walked to Hong Jin and slapped her fiercely.

This crisp voice shocked everyone present. Empress Dowager Zhuang has been in charge of the harem for many years, and no one has ever seen that Empress Dowager Zhuang can be so angry that she beats people with her own hands. So, at this moment, everyone is blindfolded.

Shen Muchen looked at the Empress Dowager Zhuang fiercely and stared at the two people serving the Empress Dowager Zhuang. Annoyed that they didn't hold the Empress Dowager Zhuang, he said harshly, "Don't you two slaves want to live? How precious is Empress Dowager Zhuang's body? How can she do such a fierce action? Why don't you go up and hold the empress dowager?"

The two people who were stunned heard the emperor's fierceness and quickly came forward to hold the unstable Empress Dowager Zhuang.

Shen Muchen also spoke out to persuade the Empress Dowager Zhuang at this time and said, "Mother, don't be angry. Other things are small, and your body is big. Don't hurt your body for these little things!"

Hong Jin was slapped hard by the Empress Dowager Zhuang and woke up. Hong Jin, who woke up, was completely unaware of his current situation and said to Shen Muchen, "Your Majesty, don't believe the words of Chu Haiyu's bitch. My concubines are all wronged!"

"Is it wrong?" Shen Muchen took a deep look at Hong Jin and said, "I will naturally judge who is wrong. Queen, do you think I can make a wrong judgment when human evidence and material evidence are available?

Then, Shen Muchen said again, "It seems that you still don't cry when you don't see the coffin. Go and show this famous Xuedingyun Mountain to the queen to see if the queen can remember anything." In the second half of the sentence, Shen Muchen said to the father-in-law beside him. As soon as the father-in-law heard this, he took Chu Haiyu's handkerchief and walked to Hong Jin again.

Hong Jin naturally recognized the snow-capped cloud mountain at a glance. Her body trembled violently, and her face couldn't help but turn whiter. Naturally, this Xueding Yunshan was given to Chu Haiyu by himself. Just then, because of Chu Haiyu's provocation, Li Meiren and Mo Qingcheng made a lot of trouble, and Mo Qingcheng was even ordered by the Empress Dowager Zhuang to hit the 20 boards. When I saw Mo Qingcheng splea, I was naturally extremely happy. So he generously asked Chu Haiyu what he wanted.

Chu Haiyu's initial request was for Hong Jin to send him out of the palace, because Chu Haiyu has also saved a lot of money in the palace in recent years. He thought that after leaving the palace, he could marry his lover openly. If he relies on his intelligence to do a small business, he will inevitably live a rich life.

It's just that Hong Jin finally cultivated a person like Chu Haiyu around Li Meiren, and naturally refused to let her out of the palace easily, so he immediately refused Chu Haiyu's request. It was because of this relucvement that Chu Haiyu had some dislikes about Hong Jin. That's why he thought of leaving a little way out for himself, so he lied that he was addicted to tea and had heard the name of Xueding Yunshan countless times. I really want to taste the taste of Xueding Yunshan, so I implore the Empress to give me some Xueding Yunshan to taste.

This requirement is a little too much, but it is not impossible. Hong Yu thought that he had just refused Chu Haiyu once and refused it again. I'm afraid it would cool Chu Haiyu's heart. There are still many places for him to use Chu Haiyu in the future. Naturally, he can't make her too cold, so he agreed to Chu Haiyu's request.

However, Hong Jin is not a fool. Naturally, he knows that such a valuable thing is given to Chu Haiyu, a humble maid. Naturally, it is very inappropriate, and it may lead to some suspicion. So after thinking about it, Hong Jin ordered his servants to brew a pot of Xueding Yunshan and let Chu Haiyu taste it in front of him.

"How can you... How can you have this snow-capped cloud mountain? You are obviously." Hong Jin subconsciously said this sentence, but suddenly realized that something was wrong and stopped the second half of the sentence.

Chu Haiyu suddenly laughed again and looked at Hong Jin and said, "Empress, you want to say that I obviously drank this snow-capped cloud mountain in front of you, but how can there be this tea? There is no other reason, because these tea leaves were deliberately wrapped in my mouth when I was drinking them. When they came out, I carefully put them away!"
