Chapter 345 Top Crime
Xuefei finally reacted, her eyes widened with surprise, pointed to Mo Ziyao, and shrilled, "It's you!" Then he suddenly turned around, looked at Ruan Lingzheng and said, "Your Majesty, it's her who did it, and it has nothing to do with my concubine!" How can my concubine conspire with her to kill Concubine Yunxian? This is impossible!"
Ruan Lingzheng looked at Mo Ziyao without saying anything, but heard the Empress Dowager say, "Princes Yao, what do you say?"
Mo Ziyao bit her lip and said to herself what she could say. The earrings were rewarded by Ruan Lingzheng. In fact, there was no need for the eunuch to report it. I believe that there are so many concubines behind her, and many of them know that they have worn them.
The emperor's reward will be recorded, but now it is impossible to report the loss.
After thinking about it, I could only nod: "This ear pendant was indeed given to my concubine by the emperor. However, how it appeared on the annihilation platform is unknown to the concubine. The wooden pile goes deep into the water, and it is not easy to saw it off, and my concubine will not float in the water.
Mo Ziyao's words fell, and then she heard Xuefei say anxiously, "Your Majesty, throw her into the water and see if she will float!"
Ruan Lingzheng twisted his face and said in a low voice, "Xuefei!" His words shocked Xuefei fiercely and looked back at Mo Ziyao resentfully.
Naturally, she hates it. Now she is more and more sure that Mo Ziyao is framing her. But the noble concubine Hui said in a low voice, "It will be difficult not to pretend. Isn't it very simple to pretend?" Her tone was calm, and what she said seemed to be unremarkable.
The Empress Dowager frowned and looked at her. Everyone took a breath of cold air, and then said that Hui Guifei's words were right.
Mo Ziyao sneered. She said so. What else can she say? In fact, she knows that there is a person who can prove that she really can't float. That's the king of Pingzhen. But now, it is impossible for others to run out to speak for themselves in southern Xinjiang.
Ruan Lingzheng's voice came down coldly: "Did you really do this?" He looked at Mo Ziyao and suddenly sneered, "But I'm strange. It seems that those earrings haven't been worn by you for a long time?"
Mo Ziyao was slightly shocked and looked up at him, but she didn't know what he meant. I chewed it a few times before slowly recalling it. He is really confused, and he also knows that his earrings have fallen off. In fact, whether he really knows it or not, he wants to throw the earrings away.
But who should I throw it to? Everyone will deny it, won't they?
Is it directly said that the sunrise palace fell? No, no, isn't that telling everyone that they have left the palace without permission? Even if you say it, no one will believe it. Mo Ziyao was thinking about it, but she felt that a person next to her suddenly got up, took a few steps forward, knelt down again, and said, "The emperor and the empress dowager don't have to wrong Yao's noble concubine. This earring was given to my concubine by the noble concubine Yao. It is my concubine's thing.
Mo Ziyao was shocked and looked at the woman in front of her. No matter what she thought, the person who stood up would be her - Jing Chongyi.
Everyone took a breath of cold air and looked at Jing Chongyi in consternation.
Hui's face changed and she said coldly, "Jing Chongyi, it's not a small thing at this time. Can you figure it out? It's not that you have a good relationship with Noble Concubine Yao and want to help her with the crime!"
Jing Chongyi still lowered her head and said neither humble nor arrogantly: "It is because the concubine and the noble concubine Yao are close that she does not want to take the blame for the concubine."
Hui Guifei sneered and said, "Is that right? Then this palace is curious. Why did Noble Concubine Yao give you earrings? Oh, by the way, if you hadn't said that it was given to you by Noble Concubine Yao, the other one should still be with you.
Her words slightly changed Jing Chongyi's face. But it also made Mo Ziyao more clear. This earring was picked up by the noble concubine Hui. Otherwise, how can you ask the where the other one is?
But when she heard Jing Chongyi say, "Didn't the noble concubine say that too? The concubine has a good relationship with the imperial concubine Yao. In this case, it is not a big deal for the imperial concubine to send earrings to the concubine. As for the other one, it was accidentally lost under the water by the concubine. Are you looking for it? Just go and look for it in the mud under the water.
"You..." Princess Hui looked angry, but she blocked her so much that she couldn't say a word.
The Empress Dowager got up and took a step forward, looked down at Jing Chongyi, and asked harshly, "Did you really do this?"
Jing Chongyi's body trembled slightly and whispered, "Yes."
The Empress Dowager hummed, "How do you know that you are not being coerced and carrying the blame?" When he said this, he quietly looked at Mo Ziyao with the intention of inquiry.
Mo Ziyao was slightly shocked. It seemed that the Empress Dowager wanted to believe in herself, but she wanted to doubt. After all, on the surface, no one's mind is so simple. Instinctively glanced at Ruan Lingzheng, his expression was faint, but he did not look at himself. She didn't know whether Jing Chongyi suddenly stood up and had anything to do with him.
Jing Chongyi knelt straight and said, "The Empress Dowager can ask the explorer that the two wooden stakes are about a meter below the pool. I believe that if the concubine said so, no one will doubt whether the concubine will float. And this..." She said, raising her hand and rolling up her sleeves, and suddenly saw a deep wound on her arm. Obviously, it was the saw that scratched the fallen mark. Moreover, the wound has been scabged, so it can't have just been scratched. If it was last night, it would be just right for this degree of healing.
She said in a low voice, "Last night, I acted in panic and accidentally scratched."
The Empress Dowager's face has changed. Someone has already told her where the saw's mouth is. Mo Ziyao was even more shocked and looked straight at the woman in front of her, but unfortunately she couldn't see her expression at this moment.
Is it really her? She slowly clenched her fists, and if so, why did she come out to help herself? As long as she doesn't come out, no one will guess it's her. No one will take the initiative to roll up her sleeves and look at the scars, will they?
"Empress dowager, she..." Hui looked back at the empress dowager in consternation. She didn't believe it. In this way, her plan may be completely messed up, or even Xuefei may be exonerate.
However, Jing Chongyi said so, and such evidence can still be obtained. At this moment, I'm afraid that Hui Guifei can't think of a good countermeasure to refute it.
Xuefei finally became proud and gritted her teeth and said, "Empress do you hear me? Jing Chongyi did it at all, and it has nothing to do with my concubine! Your Majesty..." She suddenly looked at Ruan Lingzheng, with a trace of pain in her eyes, "Your Majesty, should trust your concubine?"
"Snow Concubine." Xuefei was talking proudly, but she heard Jing Chongyi suddenly say, "The concubine knew that the Empress would cross the river and tear down the bridge. Now that it's done, do you want to put all the responsibility on the concubine?"
As soon as this word came out, everyone was shocked. Hui's disappointed face slowly overflowed with excitement.
The Empress Dowager widened her eyes and looked at the woman on the ground, and her hand holding on the edge of the table slowly tightened. However, she didn't say anything. She was waiting for Jing Chongyi to continue.
And Mo Ziyao stared straight at her, and her heart was even more confused. From the time she knew her to now, she was really stunned today.
Will she join hands with Xuefei? No, she can't join hands with Xuefei. She should have done this to drag her into the water!
Xuefei looked at Jing Chongyi unbelievably and didn't know where her strength came from. She suddenly got up, rushed up, raised her arm and was about to wave it down. At that moment, Mo Ziyao didn't know where she came to have courage. She got up and still grabbed her wrist fiercely as if she came out of Tairen Palace that day and met her on the road.
The only difference is that last time, the person she wanted to hit was herself. And this time, she wants to beat Jin Jing Chongyi.
Mo Ziyao stared at her and said faintly, "Suefei, can't you hide the lie and want to threaten Jing Chongyi in front of so many people?"
Xue Fei suddenly trembled, and the hand that was caught also trembled. Mo Ziyao felt that her hands were not strong enough. At this moment, she would fall down with a push. Hearing her scream, "No, you... you all want to frame me!"
Mo Ziyao didn't say anything, but Jing Chongyi below smiled and said, "Xuefei, no one wants to frame you. What is done is done. Now the life and death of the concubine Yunxian are still uncertain? You should be happy. Have you forgotten? You said that you have always wanted to get rid of Yunxianfei and her child, but you suffered from the fact that she was too well protected by the emperor and had no chance. Coincidentally, her birthday is coming. You heard the emperor say that you are going to set up a banquet and set up a stage on the pool of the annihilation platform. At that time, you were very happy and looked up to the sky and laughed. God really helped you. You tell the concubine that you will go up to perform and attract the concubine, and the concubine will cut off the stakes. At that time, when you jump on the top, the wooden stake under the stage will break, and after tilting, all the lights will be extinguished due to shaking. Yunxian's concubine likes to watch the play, and she must stand close to the stage. At that time, the scene will be in chaos. In order to protect the fetus in her abdomen from being squeezed, she will instinctively walk forward, but the railing was loosened early in the morning, so that she can take the opportunity to fall into the water. In this way, she is really unconscious.
Xuefei's eyes are getting bigger and bigger. If Mo Ziyao hadn't stopped her, she would still want to rush up and beat people.
She shouted in horror, "Princess Yao, you are also with her! Jing Chongyi, what's the benefit of you in setting up this palace like this? You are involved in this matter. Do you think you can get rid of it? Why do you take the blame for her and blame this matter on this palace!"
The Empress Dowager suddenly said angrily, "Xuefei, what kind of style did you shout? Come on, pull her aside, and I have something to ask Jing Chongyi!"
"Yes." The maidservant next to her came forward, took Xuefei's hand and dragged her aside.
Xuefei struggled desperately, but her strength was so weak that she could only cry, "Your Majesty, do you just watch them bully my concubines?" She paused and suddenly called him, "Brother Ling Zheng, why don't you believe me?"
Brother Ling Zheng reminded Mo Ziyao of the weak "Brother Ling Zheng" when she first saw her on the Empress Dowager's birthday.
She is reminding Ruan Lingzheng that she is still Leng Xue, or Yu Chi Lingxue who secretly promised his life in his early years. And he is the man who loves her as much as life.
Ruan Lingzheng's eyes hurt, raised his hand to signal the maidservant to let her go, and said in a low voice, "As long as you don't do it, I will naturally believe you."
