Chapter 62 Testimony of the Eight Kings
After listening to Song Jinzhi's words, Xiao Shufei's face was full of disdain and winked at the concubine Jin beside her. This time, Jinfei was clever and said, "Please think twice. No one knows whether Song Xiunu's words are true or not. I'm afraid that the two have a good relationship in private. Song Xiunu made up this lie to help Yao Yulu get rid of her guilt."
At this time, Eunuch Liu beside Li Qingxiao whispered in his ear, "Your Majesty, there is indeed a broken bowl by the pool where the noble concubine had an accident."
Li Qingxiao listened to this and thought about it. Looking at Song Jinzhi's expression at the present, he always felt that this lady would not lie about it. Li Qingxiao asked, "Why should I believe you?"
"The common woman and Yao Xiu's daughter are beautiful women. They have known each other in the palace for a short time. How can they tell such a big lie for her? It must be the people's daughter who can't stand the destruction of conscience before they dare to come to this hall to explain. Please ask the emperor to learn from it."
As the lord of the six palaces, the queen stared at this scene in the palace and didn't know the doorway, but she didn't know why she was a little partial to Yao Yulu and said, "Your Majesty, I think that Song Xiunu's words are reasonable."
Yao Yujiao was a little relieved. She didn't expect that the little actress to enter the palace had a little turnaround, but she had never been at odds with the queen. The queen's words in front of her made her unable to figure out the mystery, but she was silent and said more for fear of causing the emperor's suspicion.
"Your Majesty, my concubine has always been a sister with your concubine. This time she has gone so unclearly. If you believe the words of this beautiful woman, the concubine will definitely not close her eyes, Your Majesty." Xiao Shufei said sonorously that she seemed to keep Yao Yulu alive, and even took advantage of this rare opportunity to suppress the Yao family.
Li Qingxiao listened to the two sides's insistence, but his heart was a little biased towards Song Jinzhi's statement, but at present, Xiao Shufei's mind could not ignore it. It was at the time when she was in a dilemma that a person came into the door, who was the eighth prince Li Qingyu.
This surprised everyone in the hall. Li Qingyu has always ignored the affairs of this palace. On weekdays, even the early morning is full of resignations. How could he come to the emperor's palace today?
Yao Yulu's complex mind was even more confused by the sudden appearance of Li Qingyu. She was shocked and afraid, but she saw Li Qingyu looking at her and frowned slightly when she saw her face.
Just as the people in the hall looked at each other, they only heard Li Qingxiao ask.
"Eight brother, why are you here?"
Li Qingyu walked to the front of the hall with a smile on his face. First, he asked the superior Li Qingxiao, "I want to see the emperor."
"I have a big deal here today. If there is nothing urgent, we can talk about it another day." Li Qingxiao frowned slightly and said that he was upset, and he was not in the mood to deal with his troublesome brother.
"Brother, I came here because something happened. Did you hear that something happened to your concubine this morning?" Li Qingyu stood up straight and asked.
Li Qingxiao was a little suspicious. Li Qingyu should not have asked about this harem. Why did the palace care about his dead concubine today? He asked, "It's so. I'm interrogating here. I don't know why my brother came here."
Li Qingyu looked back at Yao Yulu, who was kneeling on the ground. The look was continuous and affectionate. He said, "I listened to it outside for a long time, but I just wanted to tell my brother that what the beautiful girl said was true. In the morning, when I was about to go to ride outside the palace, I passed by the royal garden, but I also saw the same scene as the beautiful girl. ."
As soon as Li Qingyu said this, the people present were even more surprised.
Yao Yulu frent and looked at him, but he just looked at the emperor. Isn't it true for what he saw? But if it was Li Qingyu's character, how could he not listen to it when he saw it? Isn't he afraid of falling into the mouth when he runs up to the hall to speak for himself like this?
Yao Yujiao looked at the eighth prince in the hall with astonishment. The eighth prince has always had no contact with the palace people, but today he debated his sister's innocence. What on earth is going on? This situation seems to be to help their Yao family a little, but if the emperor suspects that the eighth prince has an intersection with his sister, it is even more guilty.
And Song Jinzhi, who was standing in the hall, didn't know what to say at this moment. It turned out that Yao Yu's appearance immediately spread all over the Taoyuan Hall, and Liu Feifei laughed at it. Ji Shuidong was so anxious to find Lv Fangxiao. Lv Fangxiao was also anxious to watch Yao Yulu suffer one after another.
As the two were talking in the room, Lv Fan and Xiao Si said thoughtfully, "Ji Xiunu, I'm afraid Yao Xiunu is more or less lucky this time, and I can't do anything about it."
"Aunt Lu, you must save your sister. It's impossible for her to do such an unreasonable thing."
"Ji Xiunu, what happened yesterday, coupled with the previous bleeding of the noble concubine, the emperor will definitely believe that it was done by Yao Xiunu. I'm afraid she will be incompetent."
"I'm going to plead with the emperor now." After saying that, Ji Shuidong hurriedly got up to find the emperor. She was confused at this moment, and how could she think about such consequences?
Lv Panxiao quickly stopped her and said, "Ji Xiunu, listen to me, you will only get angry if you go now, and you will never help Yao Xiunu."
Ji Shuidong shed tears and muttered, "That... Do you watch your sister die?"
Lv Pangxiao shook his head helplessly and said, "At present, there is only one way to prove that someone has seen the process of the incident, but I'm afraid no one dares to tell such a big lie."
"Auntie, I dare, I'll go, I'll definitely go." Ji Shuidong seemed to see a trace of vitality and said hurriedly, but saw Lv Pangxiao say, "Ji Xiunu, you have always been friends with Yao Xiunu, and you are unknown in the palace. If you go there, you will only be suppressed as a party."
At this moment, Song Jinzhi pushed the door and entered, which surprised the two people in the room. Song Jinzhi only heard Song Jinzhi say, "I'll go."
Lv Fangxiao paused in astonishment for a few seconds before asking, "Song Xiunu, do you know that if something happens, it will be a great crime?"
Hearing this, Song Jinzhi smiled gently and said, "I know, but I believe Yao Xiunu was wronged."
"This..." Lv Pangxiao hesitated, and Ji Shuidong was also silent.
"Don't waste time. I'll go to the hall to explain the truth to Yao Xiunu." Song Jinzhi said solemnly, as if he had seen such a scene.
That's why Song Jinzhi's words in the hall will appear, but I'm afraid these eight princes have really seen it?
Xiao Shufei, standing beside the emperor, wrinkled her forehead. It was originally an opportunity to successfully suppress the Yao family. How could two irrelevant people suddenly destroy it at this moment? However, in view of Li Qingyu's as the prince, she did not say anything, so she could only hope that the emperor would not be moved by it.
"Your Majesty, the Eighth Prince has said so, and it seems that there is still something strange in it." But the queen said good words aside.
I saw Li Qingxiao looking around His Highness's people, gently holding his forehead with his hands and saying, "Eighth brother, you have rarely paid attention to the affairs in the palace. How can you be so kind today to correct the name of a little beautiful girl?"
"I don't know if the royal brother remembers that the anniversary of my mother's death is approaching, but I just said what I saw and blessed my mother." Li Qingyu looked a little gloomy, which surprised Li Qingxiao.
He calculated the days. Sure enough, the anniversary of Li Qingyu's biological mother's death was approaching. It seemed that what he said was not nonsense.
"It seems that what Yao Xiunu said is true? I really wronged you." Li Qingxiao said.
This was immediately dissatisfied by Xiao Shufei. How could it be wasted like this? She immediately said, "Your Majesty, even if the death of the noble concubine was not done by Yao Xiunu, it can also be seen that Yao Xiunu is an ominous person. Since she is a little better in the palace, how many nonsense has happened in the palace."
Xiao Shufei's words were actually heard by Li Qingxiao. After all, as an emperor, he mostly believed in such ghosts and gods, and he was more taboo about feng shui. After hearing this, he frowned slightly. Immediately, although he did not show anything, he had a grudge in his heart. He only heard Li Qingxiao say, "Get back. I will thoroughly investigate the matter of your concubine.
Yao Yujiao was relieved. Although Xiao Shufei was still unrelent, she still saved Yao Yulu's life and retained the face of the Yao family. However, she understood the emperor's thoughts. I'm afraid that Xiao Shufei's words had been rooted in the emperor's heart. I'm afraid that this sister's way in the palace in the future will become more difficult to go. .
Yao Yulu walked out of the Qiankun Hall, but did not say a word. She walked to a deserted corner before she bent down and squatted on the ground tremblingly.
"Yao Xiunu." Song Jinzhi walked to Yao Yulu's side and gently held Yao Yulu's shoulder. He wanted to say some comforting words, but he didn't know where to start.
"Jinzhi... did you really see it?" Yao Yulu called Song Jinzhi's name for the first time and asked the truth that she was eager to verify.
Song Jinzhi smiled lightly, shining in the sunshine and said, "It doesn't matter. The important thing is that it's all right, Yao Xiunu."
