As an emperor, he naturally knew what the Pure Army was. Normally, only palace officials who had made mistakes would go there, but Ru Liu...he did not remember that he had ever issued such a decree.
Dai Jiashi shrank and did not dare to answer, but still said like Liu: "Let me tell you, Your Majesty, the slave girl was taken away by people sent by the Concubine Cheng within a few days of being in Shuiyixuan. The Concubine Cheng said that the master of the slave had plotted to kill her.
The Seventh Prince's crime was extremely heinous. The Emperor was merciful and spared her life. However, the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped. She deserves to suffer all the consequences.
Torture is, but because the emperor imprisoned the master in Shuiyixuan, the concubine made the slave suffer on behalf of the master, and punished the slave to be sent to the Ping Army to live with filth all day long. If the emperor had not shown mercy and restored the master's position, the slave would have become a slave.
The master can bring the slave out, but I am afraid that the slave is still in the army."
Yinzhen stared at the shocked Dai Jia, and said in an unkind tone: "Concubine Cheng, is this true?"
Dai Jia said with a trembling voice: "If I return to the emperor, I... I did send Ru Liufa to the Jing Army, but I didn't..."
"What don't you have?" Yinzhen smiled coldly, stroking his hands and said: "Okay, that's great. I didn't expect you to be so bold as Cheng Bi that you dare to distort my meaning. It seems that there is nothing you dare not do, including
Conspired to kill Concubine Xi."
Dai Jiashi shook her head in shock and said repeatedly: "I don't think so. I just sent Ruliu to clean up the army. She never said those words. She deliberately framed me." After a pause, she seemed to be thinking about something.
, said anxiously: "Yes, their master and servant must have joined forces to confuse right and wrong and frame up my concubine. Your Majesty, please don't be fooled."
Her thin lips curved slightly, raising a cold smile, "As long as it's bad for you, it's all framed by others. You've done nothing wrong, right?"
"That's not what I meant. I really didn't say those words. I just asked someone to take Ru Liu to clean up the army." Before Dai Jia could finish her words, Ru Liu came up and said with a look of sorrow and indignation: "That's upside down.
The person in black and white is you, the empress. At that time, you not only made Caixia say those words, but also made her humiliate the master and make her bark like a dog!"
Seeing Dai Jia's panicked look, Shu Mulu sneered in her heart. The reason why she didn't tell Yinzhen was to wait for this day. With so many unfavorable things added together, Yinzhen's attitude towards Dai Jia was
There will definitely be no good impression again. In this case, no matter what Dai Jia says, Yinzhen will not believe it.
Dai Jia was destined to take the blame for the murder of Fourth Elder Brother. If she was to blame, it was her own stupidity, she deserved to end up like this!
Just when I was feeling complacent, the empty look in the dead cat's eyes suddenly appeared in my mind, and my heart started to beat wildly. Damn it, the dead cat had already been taken down and buried. How could I still think of it? It's really evil.
On the other side, Ling Ruo asked: "Ru Liu, let's not talk about who asked you to go to the Jingjun. Do you admit that you have used Aconitum from the Western Regions?"
Ruliu kowtowed and said, "I told you that I did use it, but I only used it for one day. I couldn't find the rest. I don't know who took them away."
"How could such a coincidence happen?" Ling Ruo stood up and walked slowly to him, saying in a cold voice: "Do you want to say that the aconite from the Western Regions was stolen by Cheng Concubine and used to harm my own Hongli?"
Ru Liu lowered his head and said: "I don't dare, I have never seen anyone who took the aconite from the Western Regions."
Ling Ruo's eyes swept over her and Shu Mulu's bodies respectively, and finally fell on Yinzhen. He bowed and said: "Your Majesty, I thought that Ru Liu said that someone had stolen the Aconitum from the Western Regions. This is unavoidable.
It's too much of a coincidence to be believed."
Shu Mulu said with a plaintive expression: "My Majesty said so much because she is just doubting my concubine. It seems that no matter what I say or do, it will be difficult to eliminate my misunderstanding about my concubine, that's all!"
At this point, she took a deep breath, kowtowed to Yinzhen and said: "Your Majesty, since Concubine Xi has determined that I am the murderer of the fourth elder brother, then please ask the emperor to convict me and give justice to the fourth elder brother."
Yinzhen frowned and shouted in a low voice: "The matter has not been investigated clearly. Why should I be punished?"
Shu Mulu smiled sadly and said: "Since Concubine Xi has already confirmed it, there is no point in further investigation. It is better to punish the crime early to repay the favor of Concubine Xi."
"Nonsense!" After scolding Shu Mulu, Yinzhen turned to Ling Ruo beside him and said, "Ruo'er, do you really think that Jiahui harmed you?"
Ling Ruo was not as ignorant as Dai Jia, and she knew the importance of Shu Mulu in Yinzhen's heart. She said very tactfully: "The matter is not clear yet, how can I think so? I just feel that in this matter
In fact, Hui Guiren is a bit suspicious like Cheng concubine." Jian Yin.
When Zhen didn't speak, she continued: "I know that the emperor wants to find the person who harmed Hongli as soon as possible and give him justice. However, a silk bag alone and Hui Guiren's guess cannot prove that the concubine was poisoned."
That person. This matter is of great importance, and I don’t want to wrong anyone.”
Yinzhen suppressed his disgust for Dai Jia in his heart, nodded and said: "I understand what you mean, don't worry, I will definitely find out the truth."
Having said that, when the matter is investigated here, it seems to have reached a dead end, and nothing more useful can be asked. Both sides insist on their own opinions, and it is difficult to distinguish between true and false.
Yinzhen thought about it, and the only way left was to search the palace. As long as he found traces of Aconitum in the Western Regions, he would know who was the one who harmed Hongli.
This time, Sixi and Su Peisheng went down together and led many people to search Jingren Palace thoroughly. Such a big movement alarmed many people, including the Nala clan in Kunning Palace.
Nala stopped combing her hair, looked at herself in the bronze mirror and said, "You said Su Peisheng and Sixi were leading people to search Jingren Palace?"
Xiao Ningzi said from behind him: "Yes, I also found out that the emperor went to Chengqian Palace in the afternoon and has never left. Concubine Cheng and Hui Guiren are also there, as well as Imperial Physician Qi and the others."
Every time the palace is searched, it means something big happened in the palace. This time, it is the imperial doctor who is searching the palace. Could it be...
After thinking for a moment, Nala suddenly laughed, and the hand holding the white jade comb combed the long hair gathered on her chest again.
Xiao Ningzi asked curiously: "Master, what are you laughing at?"
Nala said with a smile: "The cause of such a big commotion tonight must be in Chengqian Palace. It has alarmed the emperor and the imperial doctor. What do you think it could be?"
Xiao Ningzi rolled her eyes and whispered: "Master is saying... something happened to Concubine Xi?"
"It's either Concubine Xi or Hongli. Apart from this pair of mother and son, who can create such a big battle? I believe Chengqian Palace is busy now. It's a pity that it's not convenient for me to go there."
