227 In vain Queen Iron Face
Wang Ruoying smiled, laughing without saying a word.
He lowered his eyebrows and stroked the pearl bracelet on his wrist, and his manners were elegant. There was no sign of cramping on her face. From beginning to end, she ignored the queen's majesty.
"You can take a look at it yourself." Liu Zhao threw the silk over.
The silk is light and not thrown far away, and just falls to the ground.
But in Yin Lingyue's view, the emperor's actions seemed to be a bolt from the blue. She walked over with fear, lowered her eyebrows, and then leaned over and picked up the piece of silk with her own hands.
Every word above is like a knife, engraved in my heart one by one.
"Your Majesty, there must be some misunderstandings in this, I don't..."
"Guy Deng." Liu Zhao interrupted the queen's words and his eyes calmly fell on Deng Sui's face. "Where is Toran?"
Deng Sui vaguely realized the reason and hurried forward and said, "Your Majesty, Tu Ran is a little uncomfortable. After sending me over, he ordered her to return to the palace."
"Why are you uncomfortable?" Liu Zhao's sentence seemed to be caring about a maid. But in fact, he was really concerned about the whole matter.
Deng Sui has some tacit understanding with the emperor during these days. When he asked this, Deng Sui knew the depth. "Your Majesty, I am wrong, I hope Your Majesty will forgive you. But this matter is too big, and it is related to the innocence of my daughter's family. I think if I should invite Duran to come first and report to Your Majesty after I ask her about her thoughts."
While speaking, Deng Sui accidentally met the queen's gaze.
She understood that the queen had completely understood the whole thing, so she curled her lips and smiled.
"Wu Leng, go and pass the news here." Liu Zhao seemed to be preparing to investigate the matter to the end.
And at this time, it was already noon.
Yin Lingyue calmed down and said gently: "Your Majesty came over early. I must be hungry until now. I would rather ask me to take some pastries in the kitchen. I will always feel uncomfortable if I have an empty stomach."
The emperor did not make any noise, so Yin Lingyue turned around and called Leng Qiu on his own: "Go and see what's in the kitchen, and pick the fresh ones."
"No." Just one glance, Leng Qiu understood what the queen meant. She must have tried to block Toran's mouth. At this critical moment, it is not easy to do this. But since the queen ordered, she had to do her best.
"Let's go." Liu Zhao suddenly spoke, his tone a little unhappy: "I don't have an appetite, so there's no need to worry."
Yin Lingyue couldn't help but feel nervous. It seemed that the emperor had begun to guard against her. "Yes, then I'll ask Your Majesty to drink another cup of tea."
Yao Jiaer thought to herself that the emperor's attitude was probably to trap the queen and investigate it thoroughly. If the queen is in trouble now, it will be beneficial to Guiren Deng. But is it a good or a bad thing for her? After all, she used to be accomplices of the tiger, and she often "shares" the queen. At this time, if the queen holds the mentality of defeating the enemy, wouldn't she suffer with it...
But the most helpless thing is how can I gain the trust of Guiren Deng without offending the queen?
While anxious, I suddenly heard a burst of hurried footsteps. As soon as Yao Jiaer raised her head, she saw the wet nurse standing anxiously at the door.
"Your Majesty." Yao Jiaer quickly stepped forward: "The wet nurse who cares for Sheng'er is here. Maybe Sheng'er has any discomfort. Can you go over and ask what's going on?"
"Okay." Liu Zhao agreed readily.
Yao Jiaer hurried over and lowered her voice and asked, "What's wrong?"
"The noble man is not good, and the little prince is vomiting milk again. At this time, he was crying so hard that no matter how I coaxed me, it would be impossible to improve. You might as well go back and take a look!" The wet nurse's face turned pale, and her voice was trembling when she spoke.
"Okay, I'll go back now." Yao Jiaer hurriedly returned to the front of the Holy Front and said with tears in her eyes: "Your Majesty, Sheng'er is not very good. I want to go back and take care of him..."
"Okay, you'll be back." Liu Zhao was a little worried and said, "Let Zheng Zhong take you back with the imperial chariot."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yao Jiaer thanked with tears in her eyes and was about to turn around.
Yin Lingyue hurriedly said, "Jia'er, let's wait. There is a prescription here in this palace. You can take it to the imperial physician, maybe it can be used."
While speaking, Yin Lingyue asked Leng Qiu to go to the dressing table to get a prescription.
"Thank you, Empress." Yao Jiaer took the prescription, also written on the silk, and couldn't explain what it felt. Based on her understanding of the queen, this is definitely not just a prescription. "Then I will take my leave first."
"Go quickly." Yin Lingyue and Wan said: "It's important to take good care of Sheng'er."
As Yao Jiaer left, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became much quieter.
No one said anything easily.
Deng Sui felt a little uncomfortable and his stomach was already so hungry that he was roaring.
However, no matter how delicious the Queen’s food was, she would not dare to eat it.
"Gui Ren Deng's face is not very good. Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?" Feng Zhishui saw that something was wrong, so he had to ask more.
"It's nothing." Deng Sui replied with a smile: "Maybe it was because he was always thinking about Concubine Zhou in Hehuan Palace these two days, and he felt a little uncomfortable and had not had a good rest."
Feng Zhishui nodded even though he nodded: "Guy Deng's thoughts towards Guiren Zhou are really envious of others."
"The harem is all sisters who serve His Majesty, so they should have the same thoughts." Deng Sui said softly and hard: "Only by dividing each other, you will feel that there is a difference between closeness and distantness. If you are a sister, you naturally hope that every sister will be healthy and harmonious in the harem will be harmonious, and it will also save you a lot of trouble."
"That's right." Feng Zhishui felt a little unhappy when she was hit like this.
But due to the emperor and the empress's face, the atmosphere was so strange, so she couldn't show anything. But she originally wanted to flatter Mr. Deng, but she was disgusted by someone who was ungrateful and felt awkward.
At this time, Wuling also brought Tu Ran back.
"I pay homage to Your Majesty and pay tribute to the Empress." Toran saluted respectfully.
Deng Sui walked over and frowned and said, "There is no airtight wall in this world. The previous events... have been put on the table now. But this matter is related to you after all. If you want to say it or not, I must ask you what you mean first."
"Guru Deng is a generous person after all, and he is so good to the maids around him." Wang Ruoying smiled and said, "Instead of having more and less words from others, he may not be able to make the point. Then let Toran say it herself. She said it herself, so she could not say anything wrong."
"No." Tuo Ran lowered his head and responded, and turned to salute the emperor: "That day, Mo Yu did something in my tea and put some medicine to make me weak. At that time, I was resting in the side hall, and thought I was sick and wanted to find someone to take me to the imperial pharmacy. At this time, Mo Yu led a guard in. The man had a face but was frivolous... I resisted desperately and kicked the table in the room hard. The guard was afraid to avoid it, so I escaped from the back door and jumped into the lotus pond behind me. Fortunately, the ice on the pond was not thick, and the cold water was stimulating, and I had some strength. At this time, Guiren Deng happened to come to find me, and the guard ran away when he was scared."
"Mo Yu is so bold, dare to harm the maids around Guiren Deng?" Feng Zhishui was in amazement and could not speak.
"Yes." Wang Ruoying frowned and said, "This matter must be the reason why Mo Yu died. Otherwise, the Empress would not have been so anxious to silence her."
Yin Lingyue was very confused. How did Wang Ruoying know about these things? Even Mo Li didn't know why Mo Yan was going to die in advance. She was squinting her eyebrows, not showing anything on the surface, but she kept thinking in her heart, who was the one who showed off the wind or let the most inconspicuous beauty bite her. "My beauty Wang seems to know the whole story very well!"
"I don't know much." Wang Ruoying smiled and said, "It would be great if I knew about it, and I don't have to delay your Majesty's so much effort."
"If you don't know, don't do it unless you do it yourself." Liao Zhuobifu knelt on the ground and sneered: "The Empress has always been very proud of herself, thinking that your wrist is the highest in the palace, and no one can find evidence. So how do you explain this matter in front of you? Even if you have the motivation to kill Mo Yan, do you still make Your Majesty believe that this matter was not what you did?"
After slightly tidied up the phoenix robe, Yin Lingyue knelt down to the emperor: "Your Majesty, I do know about Toran. It was the girl Mo Yan who confessed the whole matter to me. I should have sent her to Yongxiang severely punished me. But she begged me to let her go out of the palace with tears in tears. I really agreed. I don't understand how Wang Meiren learned about this, nor do I know why I just decided that Mo Yan's death was done by me. I failed Your Majesty's trust, but I was wrong, but if Mo Yan was really sent to Yongxiang, I was afraid that this incident would cause a bigger misunderstanding. For example, Deng would think that Mo Yan was instructing him to do this. In fact, it was just because she was jealous of Toran."
Wang Ruoying couldn't help but feel aggrieved: "How dare I take this from the Queen? How could I determine what you said? It's just the evidence presented to me."
Deng Sui remained silent and kept observing the queen's behavior. To be honest, so much evidence was presented to His Majesty one by one, she was still able to be rational and calm, without losing her composure due to the resentment in her heart. Finally, it was handled very well. And even if the evidence was presented, it could not prove that the queen was a big mistake.
"Your Majesty, I think that the Empress does this to calm down the situation." Feng Zhishui had not swallowed the breath just now, so he had to argue for the Empress. "The maids around him had done such a disgraceful thing, which should be a heavy responsibility. But if they really went to Yongxiang, then this disgraceful thing would be exposed. Not to mention whether it would cause misunderstandings to noble people Deng, it would be bad even if it was spread to the ministers. Wouldn't the slaves in the harem use such a method to detract from the royal reputation? Besides, the girl Mo Yan is dead now, and there is nothing to be investigated for this matter. Only by turning big things into small things can abstain from a lot of trouble."
"According to what you said, Mo Yu would die in vain?" Wang Ruoying looked at Feng Zhishui with her eyebrows: "Then isn't her life in vain!"
"I will give my master a hand over my life and life to my master. I will not have a good end if I do something that harms my master. Now that she is dead, just stop. Why do I have to force my master to be blamed? Besides, the Empress is not aware of this matter. Even if the Empress really dealt with Mo Yu, there is nothing great. After all, this girl is wrong first. Otherwise, how could she live and leave the palace and even give up her life like this!"
"Then what's wrong with her family?" Wang Ruoying asked relentlessly: "I shouldn't have implicated my master in the wrongdoing, but her family should have suffered a disaster for nothing? She has entered the insult to serve the empress since she was a child. It was only recently that she knew that there were still relatives in the world. What did these relatives do wrong?"
"Who will know!" Feng Zhishui said disapprovingly: "It is impossible that someone deliberately framed the Queen, so he killed Mo Qi's family and tried to blame him? I am also curious. If the Queen does not say these things, I have never heard of them. Why does the Beauty Wang seem to know everything? This is too strange! Could it be that you have tried your best to investigate these things when you were not with Your Majesty for serving? "
Wang Ruoying turned to the emperor and lowered her head: "Your Majesty, I just accidentally discovered someone transporting a strange bag out of the palace. I was curious for a moment and asked someone to follow me to see it. Unexpectedly, it was Mo Yu's body, and it was sent to the mass grave. As for the contents on the silk, except for the coroner's body written by the coroner, the rest was a small piece of bamboo hidden in Mo Yu's clothes, which made it clear. I just copied it again and wrote it on the same piece of silk. The original piece of bamboo is also here. Please check it out."
Liu Zhao was no longer interested: "I won't look at it anymore. It's just... are you sure the corpse was sent out from the palace?"
"I am sure." Wang Ruoying frowned and said, "I was not seen by myself at that time. In fact, Juan An, who was beside Concubine Liang, also saw it. He just went to the mass grave to transport the corpse back. But before that, Juan An was also sure that the strange cloth was wrapped in a corpse. Because the silver jewelry on the corpse fell down, Juan An recognized that it was Mo Yan's thing. The ornament was still in Juan'an's hands."
Wang Ruoying sighed slightly: "I am also guarding against others, but I am afraid that someone will slander the matter. I specially asked Juan An to bring the ornament. If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, at least there will be someone to prove it for me. If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can summon Juan An to confront me. She is a person around Concubine Liang and has no friendship with me all day long. I don't think it's because she came to help me for some purpose. It can be believed."
It was also at this time that Yin Lingyue suddenly understood something. It was not her confrontation with Deng Sui, but her confrontation with the entire harem. Even the emperor wanted to watch her being skinned layer by layer!
"Your Majesty, I am sure that Mo Yan left the queen alive, and there are records in the palace and what the guards saw with their own eyes as evidence. As for why the beautiful man Wang saw Mo Yan's body being sent out of the palace, I don't know. Maybe someone killed Mo Yan and sent him back to the palace to deliberately make this case. I have a clear conscience, and I don't want to say much about the rest. I will deal with the same thing as His Majesty."
Yin Lingyue felt that she was about to be unable to calm down. She was afraid that the emperor would believe these people's words and jump out to defend Deng Sui. Or she was afraid that this matter was originally instructed by him. In this way, no matter whether Mo Yan was killed by her or not, there would be only one ending.
Wang Ruoying was very angry. After so much effort, she was about to expose the queen's disguise, but she was obviously not strong enough. "Your Majesty, I am just telling what I know. As for whom Mo Yan died, I did not see it with my own eyes."
"Yes. Who can draw a conclusion without seeing anything with your own eyes?" Feng Zhishui said quietly: "But no matter what, Your Majesty, I think Mo Yu is just a maid. It is inappropriate for a maid to disturb Your Majesty and the Queen because of this maid's affairs. Since everyone is dead, no matter what she did wrong when she was alive, please forgive her for her many years of serving the queen. She has no credit and hard work.
"Yes." Wang Ruoying smiled helplessly: "Otherwise, what can it do? The dead will not speak. Even if she has such a piece of bamboo on her body, it cannot prove that the Queen is the murderer of her. Even if her life is really ruined by the Queen, it is normal for the master to die for the slave, and nothing is too great."
Speaking of this, she felt bored: "I shouldn't have wade into muddy waters at first. It's good that I spent so much effort in vain and was almost wronged. But in the end I could only go through this vain. If I had known this was the case, it would have been better than nothing at the beginning. If the Empress had become dissatisfied with me because of this, then... my life would be difficult for me."
"Don't speculate if something hasn't happened." Yin Lingyue glanced at her side: "I have always been lenient to my sisters in the harem. Have you ever heard that I deliberately saddened whom?"
"Yes." Wang Ruoying smiled ashamed: "It's all bad for me. The Queen taught me a lesson. Since I have returned without success and have added trouble to Your Majesty, I am willing to bear the punishment."
Deng Sui was tired and frowned: "Your Majesty, what can be explained now is that Mo Yu had framed Toran. I thought there was no direct evidence for other things, so I might as well put it aside. Just as I could prove that I had never framed Zhou Guiren, nor did I kill her, but I couldn't find who was the one who attacked Zhou Guiren. But the facts are the facts. Even if the truth cannot be found at this moment, it will be a day that will be revealed sooner or later. It's better to wait."
"I'm tired, the queen can do it." Liu Zhao stood up, strode over, and grabbed Deng Sui's wrist: "I'm hungry, go to your palace for lunch."
The two left the main hall with brisk steps.
It was almost time for Yin Lingyue to bow before she could even pay her respects.
"I have also surrendered." Wang Ruoying saluted to the queen and walked out with leisurely steps.
