Chapter 269 The first step in the trap
"Miss Ji Er, although I believe in my heart that you are innocent, I still have to put you under house arrest until the truth of this matter comes to light."
After saying that, the guards around Queen He immediately surrounded her and were about to step forward to restrain her. Ji Fuyin took a step back and shouted in a deep voice: "Wait a minute! Queen, the words of that palace maid cannot be used as witnesses at all.
!”
Queen He looked at her, "But I feel that what the maid said is not a lie."
"Empress, if what the palace maid said is true, then how did this man who doesn't know martial arts enter Qifeng Palace? Looking at these footprints, it was already very difficult for him to climb out by stepping on stones.
It is almost impossible to crawl in when there is nothing outside."
"If you want to come in through the gate during the day, Qifeng Palace has special personnel guarding it, so this is impossible." Ji Fuyin glanced at the palace maid coldly, "She was the only one who saw that person. He
Only she saw it when she was escaping, who else saw it?"
"You? Is it you? Or you? Have any of you seen that person?!" Ji Fuyin pointed at the guards on duty tonight and asked them one by one, "None of them, right?"
"Your Majesty, although this palace maid is also on duty tonight, she is responsible for the interior of the palace. It is these guards who are actually patrolling and guarding the outside. Then I am a little confused -"
"Why didn't the guards who were working step by step in Qifeng Palace notice that a man who didn't know any martial arts sneaked in, but instead he was caught by such a little palace maid who was on duty in the room?"
Turning sideways and staring at the speechless little palace maid, Ji Fuyin chuckled, "In other words, tonight's farce was just a thief calling to catch a thief. You let someone in who you have a crush on come in, but
Something unexpected happened when I was sending him away, so you just kept doing nothing and blamed it on me?"
"This... slave, slave, no, slave, really, really saw it!" The little palace maid was a little panicked.
"Okay, since you saw it, let me ask you, what does that man look like? What clothes is he wearing?" Ji Fuyin asked sharply.
The little palace maid said nervously: "He's just an ordinary man. I can't tell what he looks like. He's wearing... wearing indigo clothes! He ran away after I found him!"
"How dare you, you bastard! You are still saying that you are not lying!" Ji Fuyin sneered, "The moonlight tonight is not bright enough at all. You said it is indeed possible that you can't see clearly, but at night, you can't even see people clearly.
Under the bright light, how can you tell at a glance that the clothes the man is wearing are indigo!"
"Slave, slave..."
"Queen, please look." Ji Fuyin pointed at the guards, "The color they are wearing is close to indigo, but look, under this kind of light, who can distinguish such a color?"
Queen He's face darkened slightly. Indeed, at this time, it is impossible to tell at a glance that someone else is wearing indigo clothes. At night, except for white, it is easier to tell.
, the rest is simply impossible to see at a glance.
The little palace maid immediately panicked, "Slave... I remembered it wrong, I didn't see it clearly, I didn't see it clearly!"
"The preface does not match the follow-up. I spoke categorically just now, but now I am hesitating. The Queen is a discerning person. I think we can tell who is guilty at a glance." After glancing at the palace maid, Ji Fuyin said coldly, "What the hell is that?
Who could have such evil thoughts and let this wretched maid come to slander my daughter? The Queen must make the decision for her!"
The little palace maid was completely confused, tears began to well up in her eyes, she had no backbone, she looked at Queen He with trembling eyes as if asking for help, "Empress, slave, slave..."
"How dare you slut!" Queen He shouted angrily, completely silencing the palace maid's voice, "You are talking nonsense and dare to slander Miss Ji Er, please suppress this slut!
I don’t want to see her again, nor do I want to hear her voice again!”
As soon as Queen He finished speaking, Aunt Liang immediately stepped forward, signaled the guards to tie up the little palace maid, and quickly muffled her cries with a ball of handkerchief.
Queen He looked at Ji Fuyin apologetically, "I was reckless again and almost wronged you. You won't blame me, right? It's just that today's matter is really strange. Although I really want to do it right now.
You took such a breath and executed that bitch, but I haven't investigated this matter clearly, so..."
"Who is to be executed and how to be executed are all decided by the empress, and I have no right to interfere. I only ask that the empress can restore my innocence, and stop letting others talk nonsense like this and trample on my daughter.
Dignity!" Ji Fuyin saluted and said solemnly.
The hazy moonlight shone on Queen He's face, making her facial features look unclear, but the sneer on the corner of her lips was clearly seen by Ji Fuyin...
The matter seemed to have been suppressed for the time being. Ji Fuyin also went back to the study room where she was temporarily staying. When she went back, Luo Yu was anxiously milling around in the room. When she came back, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing that no one was following Ji Fuyin, she spoke in a low voice.
"Miss, Brother Mo is here, he's inside." Luo Yu carefully locked the door, "Miss, why did you let Brother Mo come at this time? Miss, you must be more careful and don't let anyone see it.
!”
"I know, don't worry, there has been such a fuss tonight, the queen's people won't come." Ji Fuyin said as she walked into the inner room, sat on a chair, stretched out her legs lazily
The person resting on the edge of the table was none other than Mo Li.
"Have you seen what happened tonight?" Ji Fuyin asked, "Who is the man they arranged? It will be a long night and a lot of dreams. Find that man, and I will go to the prince early tomorrow morning and find any reason to kill him.
"
Li Qiye's golden eyes narrowed slightly and shook his head, "No one, no arranged man."
"No?" Ji Fuyin was a little surprised. Didn't they plan what happened tonight and wanted to use some man to slander her innocence?
From the secret eye contact between Queen He and the palace maid, she could conclude that tonight's incident must have been planned in advance. The drama had already been played out to this point. How could
Perhaps the most important step has been omitted?
Li Qiye nodded, "I have been observing. There are really no unnecessary people in Qifeng Palace tonight. The palace maid just walked to your door and screamed."
Ji Fuyin blinked suspiciously, "What about those muddy footprints on the wall behind?"
"Before the palace maid came to you, someone took the shoes and stained them with mud." Mo Yi said, "There were no other men at all."
After arranging people and dispatching so many guards, there was a big fuss in Qifeng Palace, but no man was arranged here. Why is this? Ji Fuyin's eyebrows frowned tightly.
The last time he set fire to Qionghua Pavilion and accused himself of committing adultery with a guard, Sun Miaoqiong had already arranged for her "adultery partner" to enter Qionghua Pavilion. That would be more convincing, but this time... they
You wouldn't wake yourself up in the middle of the night and just have a little fuss, right?
Just when Ji Fuyin was deep in thought, suspicions arose in Luo Yu's heart. Qifeng Palace was very big. No matter how good Li Li was, he had to monitor the place where they were and could observe Qifeng Palace at the same time.
Every move in other places, how is this done?
Then she secretly took a look at Mo Li's golden pupils, and recalled the way he usually called the young lady "little girl". The doubts in Luo Yu's heart grew like wild weeds in spring. This person
Brother Mo’s true identity...who is he?
After thinking for a long time, Ji Fuyin shook her head, her brows still widening. She really couldn't figure out why Queen He and the others did this, but it was just bad people who came back.
"That's all. It's a blessing, not a curse. It's a curse that can't be avoided. Let's take it one step at a time."
"Yes." Li Li nodded, "In that case, I will stay in the palace temporarily during this period. It's getting late, and it's time for you two to rest."
After saying that, Mo Li walked to the door in a swaggering manner, opened the door, and swayed out.
"Hey -" Luo Yu almost exclaimed, there had just been such a commotion here, and Li Qiye went out so arrogantly, and he was not afraid of being seen!
"Miss, Brother Mo, he...?"
"Don't worry, no one will find him." Ji Fuyin yawned sleepily, "I'm really tired too. Let's go to bed first."
Even though Mo Li was very skilled, he seemed to have just said... that he would stay in the palace temporarily during this period, so where would he live and what would he eat? These questions were all pressing on Luo Yu's mind. She
Her lips wriggled a few times, but seeing Ji Fuyin already lying on the bed, she suppressed her doubts.
Early the next morning, after having breakfast at Qifeng Palace, Ji Fuyin went back to Qionghua Pavilion. While dining with Queen He, the other party repeatedly promised that this time the palace maid would be tortured and she would be rewarded.
clean.
This seemed to be a righteous statement, but Ji Fuyin was secretly wary of it.
