Under Xu's nervous gaze, Hongshi said: "Erchen once met Xu Guiren by chance in the palace. After she knew that Yonglin liked flying kites, she made two kites for him.
I was very grateful. Later, when I learned that Xu Guiren had been framed and poisoned by arsenic, he asked Wang Zhong to send a box of cordyceps to Xu Guiren. There was also a dragon-shaped jade pendant in it, hoping to protect Xu Guiren's safety.
"
Yinzhen sneered and said: "You have good intentions. As soon as you heard that Xu Guiren was poisoned, you sent cordyceps and jade pendants."
Hongshi lowered his eyes and said, "I dare not deceive the emperor. Your Majesty Xu is indeed somewhat similar to Suo Chuoluo. Your son was quite friendly when he saw her, but that's all. I will never dare to do so."
If you have any wrongful thoughts towards Mr. Xu, please ask your Majesty’s Majesty for your disapproval.”
Yinzhen didn't say anything about this, he just said: "You admit that the jade pendant was a gift from you, aren't you afraid that I will believe that you are the one who had an affair with the Xu family?"
"I have always stood upright and acted upright, so I have nothing to fear. Moreover, I believe that with the wisdom of Emperor Ama, I will be able to catch the person who has really tarnished Xu Guiren's innocence." Hongshi said this.
He made a loud noise, as if he was really innocent. Only he knew that his palms were all sweaty at this moment.
Seeing that Yinzhen seemed to believe Hongshi's words, Zirong said hurriedly: "No, Your Majesty, what the servant said is true. The jade pendant was not given to the master by the second elder brother, but he accidentally dropped it in the master's room.
.at that time
At Hui'an Temple, Leader Liu didn't know what he found, so he broke into the master's room. The servant woke up and followed him. At that time, he found the jade pendant. To avoid being discovered by Leader Liu, the servant deliberately stepped on it with his foot. "
Nala glanced at her and said in a cold voice: "What you said is quite reasonable, but only you know how much is true and how false."
Before Zi Rong could say anything else, Guarjia said: "I've been talking about the jade pendant for a long time, but I haven't seen it yet. Zi Rong, do you know where the jade pendant was kept by Mr. Xu?"
"This slave knows." Zi Rong could not help but nod, but did not dare to get up privately. It was not until Yinzhen spoke that he came to the bedside, took out the jade pendant from the innermost corner, presented it to Yinzhen with both hands, and said: "This jade pendant
The master has always cherished it and never left his side. Even if he was sleeping, he would always be within reach."
This result was undoubtedly beyond Hongshi's expectation. The more Xu cherished the jade pendant, the paler his previous explanation became. After all, if it was just an ordinary jade pendant, there was no need for Xu to cherish it to this extent.
Sure enough, Yinzhen played with the jade pendant and said coldly: "Hongshi, how do you explain this?"
Hongshi hesitated for a while, lowered his head and said, "I can't explain it."
Hearing this, Mrs. Xu hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, I cherish this jade pendant because it really has the effect of reassuring and calming the mind. When I was poisoned by arsenic, although I was lucky enough not to die, I was like a frightened bird.
, I couldn't sleep all night, but fortunately my second brother gave me this jade pendant. Once I accidentally put it on the bedside, I slept all night until dawn, so from then on, this jade pendant never left my side.
"
"I didn't expect that the jade pendant that my second elder brother gave me so casually could work like this. I'm really amazed." After saying this, Ling Ruo said again: "But why do I always feel that Xu Guiren is deliberately doing this for me?"
The second elder brother excuses himself. Whenever he says anything unfavorable to the second elder brother, Xu Guiren will immediately defend himself; but when talking about Liu Hu, Xu Guiren never speaks out. Why is this?"
Xu's eyes were tangled in panic, and she said after a while: "I have been ruined by Liu Hu in this life. I don't know what else to say about him. But the second elder brother is a good man, and he has nothing."
I did it, but was framed by Zi Rong wantonly, so I told a few truths."
"It would be great if what Guiren Xu said is true." If Ling Ruo had sympathy for Mrs. Xu before and felt guilty for using her, then she has nothing now. In order to keep Hongshi, Mrs. Xu did everything
They all blamed Liu Hu, an innocent person, and made him Hong Shi's scapegoat, and he kept telling the truth. This behavior was really stupid and hateful.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Nala said: "Your Majesty, the matter is now clear. Liu Hu had an affair with the Xu family, and Zi Rong wantonly slandered his elder brother. He has ulterior motives and is really hateful. According to my concubine, he should be executed immediately."
That’s it.”
Upon hearing this, Zirong suddenly panicked and said repeatedly: "No, I did not slander the second elder brother. Everything I said is true. The flesh and blood in the master's belly at this moment belongs to the second elder brother."
Nala's eyes turned cold, and she scolded: "You brave girl, you are still telling lies even when you are about to die. It is really hateful, Your Majesty..."
"This matter is not yet clear. What Zi Rong said may not be false." Yinzhen's cold words made Nala dare not say anything, but in his heart, no matter what the outcome of this matter is, Zi Rong must die. If
If this girl hadn't been in the way, Liu Hu would have been the scapegoat a long time ago. How could there be so many things happening?
Yinzhen turned his eyes slightly and said: "Mrs. Xu, you said that Liu Hu had an affair with you, so you must know a lot about Liu Hu. Let's talk about it. For example, does he have a wife in his family? In what year did he enter the family?
The guard camp."
How could Mrs. Xu know this? She said casually: "He... said a lot of sweet words at that time, but he never mentioned these things at all, so I don't know about it."
"Really?" Although Yinzhen was asking, there was clear disbelief in his eyebrows. His eyes moved and he said: "Sixi, go get the dagger!"
Si Xi trembled all over, but did not dare to say anything. He quickly went down to get a knife and handed it to Yinzhen respectfully. After Yinzhen took it, he weighed it for a few times, looked at Mrs. Xu, and said coldly: "What did you just say?
Hongshi is innocent, you didn't have an affair with him, did you?"
"Yes." Mrs. Xu didn't understand what Yinzhen meant by saying that, so she agreed with a trembling voice.
"Okay." At this moment, Yinzhen's eyes became extremely dark, making it impossible to see clearly what he was thinking. With a "clang", Yinzhen threw the dagger in front of Xu and said without any warmth: "Pick it up."
Get up and prove it to me."
"My concubine... I don't know what proof the emperor wants." Xu asked this sentence with difficulty, already having a bad premonition in her heart, and Yinzhen's next words also made her premonition come true.
"Stab Hongshi on the chest to prove that you have no feelings for him." No one could have imagined that Yinzhen would come up with such a method. After he came to his senses, Nala was the first to do it.
He said: "Your Majesty, no, Hongshi is your son. Do you want him to die to prove his innocence?"
