Chapter 871 Identifying the location of the quarrel
The palace maid pointed out by Meng Yinqin was the one with the most plain beadwork on her head, and she even had no decorations on her ears.
When the emperor pointed at him, he was so frightened that he immediately knelt on the ground with a thud.
Even though he was guarding the door of the Queen Mother's chamber that day, it was just a routine for the princess to run errands, so she couldn't stay too far away.
Therefore, even though she saw the Ninth Princess arguing with Princess Chu Ning when she was in the garden five days ago, the scene at that time was exactly the same as what the two palace ladies Qin Jiaoxi said. What else could she add?
As for the contents of the Ninth Princess's complaint in the Queen Mother's chamber, she really didn't listen to a word at the door.
Because that day she was busy watching the other two people at the door who were arguing over a guard.
The palace maid knelt on the ground and shivered: "Slave, I don't know, I don't know anything..."
Meng Yinqin frowned: "What's your name?"
Palace maid: "My maid, Shushu!"
Meng Yinqin was impatient: "What were the Ninth Princess and Princess Chu Ning arguing about in the garden in front of Fengwu Palace five days ago?"
Shushu gritted her teeth: "No, there was no noise... slave, slave didn't hear clearly!"
Meng Yinqin looked at the other three people: "Tell me, were you present when the Ninth Princess had a fight with Princess Chu Ning five days ago? Was Shu Shu present?"
Just as Meng Yinqin was interrogating Shushu for a few words, the nanny of the Ninth Princess glared at the Queen Mother, and then quietly pinched the remaining three maids a few times. Suddenly, the Queen Mother realized that something was wrong, and the three maids also reacted.
Something doesn't seem right?
But no matter what you say, you have to follow the habits of the Ninth Princess, right? Otherwise, your life is not guaranteed!
Therefore, upon hearing the emperor's questioning, the maid who was able to follow the Ninth Princess into the palace that day quickly said: "I am here, but Shushu stood far away and didn't hear clearly!"
The Queen Mother breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at the nanny gratefully.
The wet nurse also felt her heart drop, and she instantly felt proud of her own wit.
No need to ask, there will definitely be a big reward afterwards!
The palace maid was also sharp-eyed. She caught the Queen Mother's gaze and immediately continued: "Returning to the Emperor, Princess Jiu and..."
"Shut up!"
Meng Yinqin interrupted her again, pointed to another palace maid beside her and asked: "Are you there?"
The palace maid gritted her teeth and shook her head: "Slave, I'm standing a little further away..."
The remaining person also saw clearly the looks in the eyes of the Queen Mother and the nanny, and was already thinking about it.
They were able to take care of the princess personally, so they were definitely not stupid people, so they boldly raised their heads and looked at Meng Yinqin.
Meng Yinqin happened to look at her: "Say!"
The palace maid immediately said: "Returning to the emperor, I passed by the garden of Fengwu Palace with the Ninth Princess five days ago, and I did see Princess Chu Ning and Mr. Shang... hugging each other, so the Ninth Princess stepped forward and scolded her. Unexpectedly,
Princess Chu Ning started to quarrel with our princess!"
Meng Yinqin nodded: "What then?"
The palace maid rolled her eyes and looked at the nanny, only to see the nanny secretly pointing at the emperor's back.
She remembered Zang Yan's daily scolding of Qin Jiaoxi, and gritted her teeth and said: "The princess said that she is the emperor's only princess, so...she can do whatever she wants, and Jiu Gong can't take charge of it!"
At this point, Meng Yinqin looked at the palace maid who was pointed out by the Queen Mother first, and asked: "Is that so?"
The palace maid hurriedly added: "That's probably the case. Jinxiu's brain is not very good. She often can't remember Princess's instructions, so she still can't explain many words clearly. I remember that Princess Chu Ning also said at that time,
She just wants to be with Mr. Shang, and she won’t let go even if Mr. Shang likes our Ninth Princess!"
To be honest, she didn't remember much about what happened five days ago.
After all, in the Queen Mother's palace, it was all scenes of the Ninth Princess acting coquettishly with her mother in private.
It's impossible for servants like them to get too close!
Hearing this, the wet nurse stepped forward and said: "If I go back to the emperor, the palace ladies may not remember what happened five days ago, but the old slave really remembers it. The two princesses had a quarrel at that time, and the old slave was also very worried.
, so I wanted to persuade her, and then I heard Princess Chu Ning say that as long as her father is here, she can marry whomever she wants!"
"They also said that our ninth princess will never marry the person we like in this life!"
That’s probably what it means, right?
The nanny wiped her sweat and looked at the Queen Mother again.
Seeing that the Queen Mother's brows finally relaxed, she secretly relaxed the tight skin on her shoulders.
Seeing this, the maid named Jinxiu hurriedly said: "That's true. I also remembered it at this moment. When the two princesses quarreled, the servants were frightened and were listening to these words!"
The other three people could only lie down and say: "I have also remembered that the two princesses did quarrel like this!"
But Meng Yinqin said again: "Very good, in that case, you were all standing next to your princess and listening to their quarrel, right?"
Several palace maids nodded in unison, and even the wet nurse nodded: "Isn't that right? The old slave usually won't leave our princess for even half a step easily!"
This is what the Queen Mother is most satisfied with.
Meng Yinqin looked at the remaining maids who had not spoken: "What about you? When the two princesses quarreled, you all stood by and watched?"
Several people looked at each other and really didn't understand why the emperor was still obsessed with this at this moment. They could only bite the bullet and said: "The slaves are indeed standing behind the Ninth Princess..."
The Supreme Emperor turned his head and looked at the sky. Amaterasu would gradually become poisonous after sunset.
But the effects of the poison will only take effect in the middle of the night.
Although it was still more than an hour before the sun set in the west, Bo Jiming's body began to tremble as he looked at the screen, and he suddenly frowned secretly and shook his head.
It seems that the emperor would rather give up his son-in-law than ask for the antidote.
Otherwise, why would you still have the energy to repeatedly ask these questions to several palace maids?
Mengyin Qin didn't care what the Supreme Emperor thought. He turned his head and glanced at Qin Jiaoxi. Seeing that she was not in a hurry, he felt more at ease.
After confirming that several palace maids and young eunuchs were present to watch the two princesses quarreling, Meng Yinqin suddenly said sharply: "In that case, you all come to the garden and describe the scene that happened at that time and where the princesses stood during the quarrel.
Show me the location!"
Then he looked at the palace maids: "Even if you don't remember the content of the princesses' quarrel, you can always remember where you stood, right?"
Then he casually mentioned the one named Jinxiu, flew out of the side hall, and placed her in the garden.
"Come on, tell me, where did Princess Chu Ning stand when she said that the Ninth Princess would never marry the person she likes in her life?"
Everyone was stunned and ran out one after another.
When you go out of the side hall, turn left and you will find the front garden of Fengwu Palace. However, after Qin Jiaoxi went out, he waved his hand to a row of guards to block the remaining palace maids and nuns.
"You all stand here and wait!"
"Wait until the emperor asks clearly, and then point out one by one where the princess stood when she cursed, and when she said every word!"
