"This...I don't know." When she said this, she didn't know what she thought of, and said quickly: "But a few days ago, a strange little eunuch combed my hair, and it was so painful to pull my hair. Later, I wanted to do it again.
I looked for him, but couldn't find him anymore. I asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but they said they didn't know there was such a little eunuch, and there was no record of it."
"That's strange. All palace officials must be registered by the Ministry of Internal Affairs wherever they are sent. If they are really from your palace, how come there is no record? Someone is clearly pretending to be here, and the purpose is to marry your hair and perform magic."
As soon as Mr. Shumulus finished speaking, Ling Ruo, who had been silent all this time, said, "If Rui Bin is suspicious of me, just tell me straight away, why bother beating around the bush like this?"
Shu Mulu bowed slightly and said, "How dare I, this concubine? It's just that this witch cup doll was found from under the queen's bed, I really have to be suspicious."
Nala stroked her sleeves and stood up, stared at Ling Ruo and said solemnly: "Fei Xi, is it really you who did this?"
Ling Ruo knelt down and said: "I have never done anything like this. Someone has framed me. Please tell me, your Majesty and the Queen!"
Nala's eyes flashed and he said: "If you didn't do it, then why is the witch cup doll under your bed? This is the Chengqian Palace, and your palace people are everywhere. How can others frame it?"
"Someone deliberately wants to frame me. No matter how tight my defense is, it's impossible for it to be leak-proof. Besides, if it was really me who did it, why would they put this witch cup doll under the bed so obviously and just find a place to bury it?
Wouldn't it be more concealed?" After that, she said to Yinzhen: "Your Majesty, I have been married to you for many years. You should know what kind of person I am. I can swear to God that I have never done anything to harm Nalan Fujin.
thing."
Shu Mulu said: "If I really haven't done it, why should I swear in a hurry? Or is it because I have a guilty conscience?"
Ling Ruo turned her eyes and stared at Shu Mulu coldly and said: "Why should I feel guilty if I have never done anything? But Rui Bin keeps accusing me of using witchcraft to harm Nalan Fujin. What does it mean? Do you want to spread this?
The doll was placed under my bed, are you the one who framed me?"
Shu Mulu didn't expect that she would suddenly say such a sentence, and she panicked. She quickly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I am just discussing matters. I have never done anything to frame Concubine Xi."
Yinzhen removed his complicated eyes from Ling Ruo's face, stood up and walked to Shu Mulu, bent down to help her up and said, "I know, please get up."
Yinzhen's words and actions made Shu Mulu feel at ease, and she stood up as she was told. However, after all, she had a ghost in her heart. She didn't dare to say anything after being shouted at by Ling Ruo, and stood aside with her sleeves folded. But this did not mean that she would let it go.
Ling Ruo, on the contrary, tried his best to set up this trap in order to put Niu Hulu on the road of eternal disaster. How could he deserve to do so many things to her if he didn't watch Niu Hulu die with his own eyes.
While she was thinking this, Yinzhen had already spoken again: "Concubine Xi, I know you don't like Mei'er and don't want her to stay in the palace, but is it necessary to hate her so much?"
Ling Ruo raised his head, with deep pain in his eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "By saying this, the emperor believes that my concubine used witchcraft to harm Nalan Fujin?"
Her words made Yinzhen's eyes shrink, and strangeness appeared in his eyes, but he quickly suppressed it, "I don't want it to be you, but from now on, you have been very resistant to the search for the palace.
, and now I have found this doll under your bed. If you tell me, how can I trust you?"
His doubtful words made Ling Ruo feel severe pain in her heart. Yinzhen had said more than once that he would believe her, but when things came to pass, the promise turned into empty words again.
She took a deep breath and said stubbornly: "Whether the emperor believes it or not, I have never done anything. I am innocent!"
Seeing that their master was being framed, Yang Hai and others didn't care much. They rushed in and knelt down to defend Ling Ruo, "Your Majesty, the servants and others are willing to guarantee with their lives that the master has never done anything to harm Nalan Fujin.
, please ask the emperor to investigate clearly."
Nala stepped forward and said: "Concubine Xi, you keep saying that you are innocent and that others have framed you. Then you should tell the emperor and me who has such a big hatred against you and wants to use such vicious methods.
Means to frame you?"
Ling Ruo raised his eyes and scanned the Liu family and others standing in front of him one by one, finally landing on Shumulu family and Nalan Meier, and said coldly: "Who keeps biting my concubine and won't let go, who is the one who framed my concubine?"
As long as the emperor continues to investigate, he will definitely be able to find evidence, just like Rui Bin, isn't she always eager to prove that the concubine is the one who uses sorcery?"
Shu Mulu's eyelids twitched and she said sadly: "What do you mean by this? I have already said that what I said just now is just to discuss the matter, and there is no other intention at all. Why does the empress always misunderstand me?"
Before Ling Ruo could say anything, Yinzhen had already shouted coldly: "Okay, Concubine Xi, I don't want to hear you blaming others anymore, or what Rui Bin did to frame you for no reason."
"Why did the emperor believe that everything was done by his concubines?" She could ignore other people's suspicions, but Yinzhen's suspicions made her heartache. Since Hongli left, Yinzhen has become her only sustenance.
Even if there were misunderstandings and alienation, Yinzhen's presence was never lost in her heart.
Yinzhen closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes were already cold. He raised the puppet in his hand and said, "Just this witch cup doll with Meier's birthday on it!" As these words fell,
He used both hands to tear open the doll, and the cotton wool and long hair fell from the air, like black and white snow, giving people a strange and cold feeling.
"Concubine Xi, I ask myself that in the past twenty years, I have always been kind to you and never treated you badly. But everything you have done now has made me extremely disappointed. It seems that I... really mistrusted you!" Yin
Every word Zhen said hit Ling Ruo's heart like a hammer, making her speechless in pain.
"Your Majesty, my master is really unjust. Please believe my master!" Yang Hai and others felt their hearts tremble when they heard this. Hearing what the emperor meant, it was clear that he wanted to accuse his master, and the crime of witchcraft harming people would not be punished if they were punished.
It is confirmed that there is absolutely no way to escape from being imprisoned in the cold palace. If someone is not good, he may not even be able to save his life.
"I don't have it!" Ling Ruo finally said this, but what she got in return was Yinzhen's roar, "Even now, you are still lying. You simply refuse to repent!"
At this time, Nalan Meier came over, looked at Ling Ruo who was kneeling on the ground and said with tears: "Concubine Xi, why do you want to harm me again and again? I came to beg you before, you are here for me
I have begged the Emperor not to pursue the matter of arsenic in the tea, but why do you just refuse to let me go?"
Nala said in shock: "What? The rumors spread in the palace are actually true?"
