Seeing that there was no shortage of shoes, Nala was a little surprised, but he didn't take it too seriously. Since the shoes were there, it would be easier to check.
After ordering someone to place a pair of flowerpot-soled shoes in the palace, Nala said to Liu Hua: "Mr. Liu, all of Concubine Xi's shoes are here. Please identify which pair you have stepped on."
"Yes." In fact, when he first brought the shoes, Liu Hua had already locked the pair that Ling Ruo was wearing when he stepped on him that day. Now when Nala asked about it, he quickly pointed to a pair of purple and blue embroidered grapes.
The patterned flowerpot-soled shoes said: "Queen Qi, this is the pair."
"Go and get those shoes." Nala ordered Jade beside him, but before Jade could respond, Ling Ruohu, who had been silent, said: "Wait a minute, I have something to say."
"Oh, what else does Concubine Xi have to say?" Nala said politely. In her opinion, Ling Ruo's obstruction was undoubtedly a guilty conscience. There must be something wrong with those shoes. She wanted to take a look. At this time, Niu
What other tricks can the Hulu clan do?
Ling Ruo suddenly knelt down and kowtowed to Nala, and said sincerely: "Your Majesty, as the emperor's concubine, everything you wear should be private, not to mention a woman's most secretive shoes."
The reason why I agreed to take it out
I came here to prove that I have never harmed Imperial Physician Liu. Now, the Empress believes what Imperial Physician Liu said and wants to inspect your shoes. I would like to ask the Empress, what should I do if there is nothing wrong with the shoes?
?”
Wu Yashi took a sip of tea from Wanyue's hand and said, "If there is nothing wrong with the test, I will naturally clear your name. In addition, if you still feel aggrieved, the Aijia will ask the Queen to admit her mistake to you. Queen, do you agree?"
Ai Jia's words?" As for Liu Hua, he has long been no different from a dead person, and it is not worth Wu Ya's trouble at all.
The Nala clan had to rely on the Wu Ya clan to make the decision. How could they dare to say no? He immediately said: "Everything depends on the Queen's mother."
Wu Yashi nodded, looked at Ling Ruo who was still kneeling on the ground and said, "Concubine Xi, can we take the test now?"
"The Queen's actions are fair, and I have no objections." Ling Ruo's words were equivalent to agreeing to the Queen's shoe inspection, and allowed Jade to give the pair of purple and blue flowerpot-soled shoes embroidered with grape patterns to Nala.
After receiving it, Nala turned it over and carefully inspected the clean and new soles. After he inspected both shoes, his face became extremely ugly. He even compared it carefully with the booklet he took from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
, there is no mistake at all. Could it be that Liu Hua admitted his mistake?
With this thought in mind, she asked again: "Mr. Liu, are you sure these are the shoes? Look carefully and be sure not to admit your mistake."
Liu Hua was startled when he heard what Nala said was obviously wrong. Is there something wrong? He didn't have time to think about it, so he quickly took a few steps forward, and after careful identification, he said with certainty: "Yes, Wei Chen definitely did not admit his mistake."
His words made Nala's face look even uglier. She had already checked the soles of both shoes just now, and there were no traces of needles. However, Doctor Liu's wound was obviously a pinhole. Could it be that Niu Hulu had done it beforehand?
Replaced the soles of your shoes?
This thought rekindled a glimmer of hope in Nala, but after inspecting the upper, this hope disappeared because there was no trace of re-sewing on the upper.
Damn it, how could this happen?! Na Lashi cursed secretly in her heart. She believed that Liu Hua would not lie to her, but why didn't this pair of shoes even have any trace of strangeness? This is completely unreasonable.
Nala's never dreamed that after stepping on Liu Hua, Ling Ruo had her shoes dismantled and then re-sewed the soles according to the original pinholes. Coupled with An'er's ingenuity, no traces could be seen at all.
.
And this was precisely the loophole that Ling Ruo deliberately left for Nala, just to see what happened today.
In that compartment, Wu Yashi, who had been waiting for a long time, had already asked: "Queen, how is it?"
Nala didn't know how to answer, but she remembered what Wu Ya said just now. If it was proved that Niu Hulu did not harm Liu Hua, she would have to admit her mistake to her. At that time, she thought it was impossible, so she agreed, but
Now...if she really admits her mistake to Niu Hulu, then what prestige and face will she have as a queen!
While he was hesitating, Guarjia, who had noticed the clues, had already raised his voice: "Queen, the Queen is asking you, is there something wrong with Concubine Xi's shoes? We are all waiting for it?"
Nala was angry and ignored Guarjia. She only looked at Wuya and said with a forced smile: "Returning to Huang Eniang, there is nothing abnormal about Concubine Xi's shoes, and there are no traces of hidden needles!"
When Liu Hua heard this, he ignored the presence of Wu Yashi and others and shouted: "Empress, Wei Chen clearly remembers that Concubine Xi stepped on Wei Chen's hand while wearing these shoes. There must be something wrong with her shoes. Please try again."
Look carefully!"
"I can see it very clearly. If Doctor Liu doesn't believe me, you can check it yourself." Before she could finish her words, Liu Hua had already snatched the shoe from Jade's hand and looked at it frantically and carefully, which made him
The desperate thing is that there really isn't anything out of the ordinary.
"Impossible! Impossible!" Liu Hua repeated these three words as if possessed, and finally stood up suddenly, pointed at Ling Ruo and roared loudly: "She was obviously the one who harmed me by hiding needles in her shoes, how could there be no traces?
,Say! What kind of magic did you use?"
Ling Ruo's expression remained unchanged as she said, "How dare you, Imperial Physician Liu, to roar so arrogantly in front of the Queen Mother and the Empress?"
"Don't be pretentious here. It's obviously you who poisoned me and killed me, Concubine Xi! You're so vicious, even if I'm a ghost, I won't let you go!"
This time Ling Ruo didn't need to speak, Wu Yashi had already said with great displeasure: "Mr. Liu, you said it was Concubine Xi who harmed you, but the Ai family has already inspected Concubine Xi's shoes in front of so many concubines in the palace.
, to prove that she has not harmed you, and the Ai family has not yet investigated you for the crime of framing the concubine, but you are acting unbridled here first."
Nala also frowned and shouted: "Liu Hua, don't be presumptuous!"
Liu Hua took a few deep breaths, then knelt down and cried bitterly: "Queen Mother, do you believe Wei Chen? Everything Wei Chen said is true. Everything is a trick of Concubine Xi. She must have changed her pair."
Exactly the same shoes."
"Absurd!" Wen Ruyan sneered: "Didn't you see that the Queen has even brought the book from the Ministry of Internal Affairs? If there are the same shoes, the Ministry of Internal Affairs must have records."
Liu Hua stopped crying and said in a stiff tone: "Who... who knows if the Ministry of Internal Affairs has missed it!"
Wen Ruyan turned back and said unceremoniously: "What is detrimental to Imperial Physician Liu is that others have missed it, and what is beneficial to Imperial Physician Liu is that the evidence is solid. You, Imperial Physician Liu, have the control over everything!"
