Chapter 112 The crime of theft? The crime of transgression?
Shu Jin quickly glanced at the people in the palace. The queen was sitting upright, motionless, and the concubine was smiling. Everyone looked like they were watching a show. Only Su Yao was trembling and uneasy.
She rubbed her brows and thought about it, never mind who was the mantis, who was the cicada, who was the oriole, why should she, a theatergoer, worry about doing that?
Ah, I'm so hungry.
This scene will not go away for a while.
About half an hour later, Cui Jinzhong, the queen's chief eunuch, came back, holding a lacquered mother-of-pearl wishful box in his hand.
Even though the boxes are so exquisite, the contents in that box must not be commonplace.
The moment she saw the box, the color on Su Yao's face turned pale. Her body trembled and she fell down from the embroidery pier, because she knew in her heart that the box was clearly used by Concubine Dun to store the second class. Dongzhu bracelets!
Concubine Dun covered her lips and exclaimed: "That box is exactly what I used to store the Dongzhu bracelets. I don't know where it is..."
The Queen opened the box with her index finger, which was armored with golden threads. Inside the box was a string of eighteen pearls, shining brightly.
The queen then said: "Take it to Concubine Atsushi to see if it is the string she lost."
"嗻!"
Cui Jinzhong hurriedly turned around and presented this object to Dun Fei Nian.
Concubine Dun deliberately took off her enamel beaded armor, held the string of beads with her slender hands as white as jade, touched them gently, and stood up and said: "Back to the queen, it is exactly what I lost. The goose yellow on it is The wishful knot was made by my concubine herself, as everyone in the Fu Chun Palace can testify."
Su Yao, who was lying soft on the ground, only saw a string of pearls with a goose-yellow knot and tassels of the same color. It was indeed what she had secretly seen in the inner hall——
Su agreed to grit his teeth and hurriedly knelt down, kowtowing repeatedly: "Empress, Concubine Dun is arrogating! She is arrogating the use of second-class Dongzhu!"
As soon as he said this, all the concubines in the room looked surprised, and some even looked faintly happy. It was obvious that many people were eager for the doting concubine Dun to fall hard.
A look of surprise appeared on Concubine Dun's pretty face, "What nonsense are you talking about? This is obviously a third-grade Dongzhu bracelet."
Su promised to be stunned, and the courage she had built up in her chest almost gave out instantly. She shook her head repeatedly: "No, it's impossible..." She had clearly measured it carefully, and the size was clearly second-class!
Concubine Dun walked to the Queen's throne, held the string of East beads in front of the Queen's eyes, and said, "I would also like to ask the Queen to take a look at it."
The Queen smiled and looked straight, "When I opened it just now, I could see it clearly. Although I don't use any second- or third-class Dongzhu, I won't admit it wrong."
As soon as the words came out, the last breath in Su Yasheng's chest was extinguished in an instant, and his whole body fell softly to the ground, "No, it's impossible..."
There was a look of regret on Concubine Dun's beautiful and flawless face, "Others only thought that I was narrow-minded and could not tolerate Su's consent, so they kicked her out. In fact, it was her who repeatedly snooped into my bedroom, and I had already noticed it. , Su promised to take a fancy to Chen Concubine's string of east beads - if it were the other treasures, Chen Concubine would have given it to her long ago, but this Dong Zhu was not something Su promised to enjoy. It was not the first time that Chen Concubine entered the palace. How could you not know what a crime it is to overstep your bounds?"
Concubine Dun turned her gaze to Su Yaosheng, who was as soft as clay, and said, "Unexpectedly, Su Yaosheng actually stole the third-class Dongzhu. This is not just stealing, but also committing the crime of transgression!"
In a few words, the arrogant person became Su and agreed!
Su promised to be excited and hurriedly kowtowed: "Empress, I am unjustly accused! I did not steal the Dongzhu! Although I am humble, I am not so bold as to do such a thing! Please be aware of it! I hope you will understand!
Since she became pregnant, her temper has become more and more weird, and she has become more and more dissatisfied with the concubine. It is not enough to drive her out, but she has framed me for such a serious crime! As soon as I agreed, I already lived far away in Chunhaoxuan.
How can you go to Fu Chun Palace to steal? Could it be that all the servants in Fu Chun Palace are blind?"
Shu Jin secretly thought that Su was not stupid in agreeing, and his words were somewhat reasonable. It was a pity that Concubine Dun had physical evidence, and the queen sent people to search for it.
Concubine Dun said calmly: "Empress, I have collected this string of beads since I brought them to the garden. Most likely, Su promised to steal them when he was still in Fuchun Palace. It's just that I didn't steal them early.
Just discovered."
Since you live far away in Chunhaoxuan, you stole it before you moved out!
"Concubine is unjust!" Su promised to burst into tears, "Concubine is just a small promise, how dare you offend Concubine Dun? Concubine just favored Concubine Dun a little bit after she became pregnant, and the concubine couldn't tolerate it.
!Please ask the Queen to make the decision!"
After saying that, Su agreed to lie on the ground and cry bitterly, looking extremely pitiful.
Concubine Dun was so angry that she could gnash her teeth. At this point, she could still come up with so many tricks. Concubine Dun said slowly: "Since I entered the palace, I have never been blushing with anyone. Why do you want to target a little girl?"
A small promise? Please ask the Empress for your advice."
The queen rubbed her brows, showing a look of embarrassment, "Concubine Dun is a lady of the family, and she has always been able to harmonize with the Sixth Palace, and Su Yao has always been humble and gentle..."
Concubine Dun was secretly resentful, and her tone did not need to be serious: "The Queen, the Queen, personally searched for this Dongzhu bracelet, and the evidence is conclusive!" - Could the Queen be blatantly shielding this little bitch, Su?!
There was a cold look in the Queen's phoenix eyes. This Concubine Dun had clearly set up a trap and yet she dared to be so arrogant!
"I'm unjustly accused..." Su Yingying sobbed sadly.
The queen took a deep breath and said seriously: "Come here, please agree to confine Su to Chun Haoxuan first! Since this matter is related to transgression, I have no choice but to report it to the emperor and ask him to make a decision."
Concubine Dun couldn't help but feel happy.
However, at this time, the little palace maid next to Su promised to suddenly kowtow and said: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, my young master did not steal it! That dongzhu bracelet was secretly given to the slave by Peilan who was beside the Concubine Dun, so that he could let it go.
I promised the young master to sleep in the palace!"
As soon as he said this, the whole room was shocked.
Oh, what happened so quickly? Shu Jin endured the hunger in his belly and regained his energy.
She knew that things were not that simple.
The little palace maid was only thirteen or fourteen years old. She looked thin and timid. Facing the palace full of concubines, she was already trembling with fear. "It was Peilan who blackmailed the slave... and gave the slave twenty taels of silver. That silver is just
Put it under the slave's pillow."
Concubine Dun was stunned. She really didn't expect that this little palace lady would not accuse herself after what she had done? How did Peilan find such a person?!
"Oh?" The queen's phoenix eyes were slightly raised, and her face suddenly became as cold as ice.
