Chapter 67 What good things have you done? What did the queen mother ask you for this morning?
Liu Yuxi said nervously: "Empress Dowager, the servants in my palace are all very honest people. Luo Changan must have framed her up. This Luo Changan is very discerning. Your Majesty, you must not be deceived by her. With just a piece of blood, who can
I wonder if she used chicken blood!"
The Queen Mother said coldly: "It's just a blood letter? Xibi, it sounds like writing a blood letter is very easy. Where is your blood letter? Why didn't the Ai family see it?"
Liu Yuxi was blocked and couldn't say a word, so she hesitated for a long time and said: "I talk too much."
Luo Changan said slowly: "The Queen Mother, the people in the Yuliu Palace said that I am the only outsider who has ever entered the Yuliu Palace. This slave thinks it is not true. When I came to the Yuliu Palace, I and the right servant's wife Song Pan
The smoke passed by, and the wife of the right minister was also from outside the palace. A few days ago, the right minister's wife was outside the dragon bed and wanted to check the ornaments on my neck. I said that this was my personal belongings and there was no instruction.
Look, I'm afraid I've offended someone. I know that Mrs. Youshilang and Empress Xibi have always been on good terms, but I did it unintentionally that day."
Luo Changan shook Song Panyan out. She will seize every opportunity to gradually expose Song Panyan's true face to everyone's eyes. She may not be able to get rid of her in one fell swoop, but she can slowly let everyone
Get to know Song Panyan’s face again!
When the Queen Mother heard this, she immediately thought, maybe the palace concubine and the foreign minister's wife were working together to make things difficult for a slave. If this trend became popular in the palace, it wouldn't work. "The foreign minister's wife was also involved in this matter? Someone, please get Song Pan."
When smoke comes, don't make any noise, just say that Aijia taught her to come in and talk."
Jixiang immediately arranged for someone to pass on the message, and the Song family immediately became nervous.
Murong Jue frowned in displeasure and asked Song Panyan, "What good thing have you done again? Why did the Queen Mother find you so early in the morning?"
Song Panyan was unsure, thinking that it might be related to Luo Changan's theft. How did this matter get to the Queen Mother? "What can I do? Didn't I say that the Queen Mother taught me to go into the palace and talk to relieve my boredom?"
Murong Jue looked at Song Panyan suspiciously.
Ji Xiang brought people in. Seeing the tense atmosphere in the house, Song Panyan understood that the Dong Chuang Incident had occurred. The Queen Mother was personally interrogating the theft. She thought that if the incident was exposed, I would only care about myself, and all the blame would be placed on Liu Yuxi.
go.
Luo Changan continued: "The slave went in and took the things in front of Xi's concubine. It only took a moment, and Xi's concubine saw it with her own eyes. It is really impossible for this slave to steal things blatantly. Besides, if this slave is the kind of person who is blind to money,
I picked up the Queen Mother's jade bracelet earlier. Isn't it more precious than the gold hairpin in Yuliu Palace? Why don't you just put it on your body and take it out without saying a word? The Queen Mother knows this clearly."
The Queen Mother felt that what Luo Changan said was sincere and not like a lie at all. In addition, she was very satisfied with Luo Changan's embroidered forehead protector yesterday, so she became a little partial to Luo Changan and said to Song Panyan: "Foreign Minister
His wife and the palace concubine are close to each other, which is a good thing for the harmony between the king and his ministers. However, when you came, something was lost in the Yuliu Palace room, and everyone outside the Yuliu Palace should be brought to trial. You can sit down."
Song Panyan leaned over and sat down, "Panyan didn't know anything about what was missing and was extremely surprised. However, Panyan will definitely cooperate with the investigation and tell everything he knows. You know,
We should have kept distance from Yuliu Palace, so that we would not be implicated."
Liu Yuxi was startled and felt half-hearted. She looked at Song Panyan in astonishment. The latter turned away in a very unfamiliar manner, as if he was not familiar with her at all.
The Queen Mother put away the blood letter and said with a cold smile: "If we only listen to your own statements, they will naturally be unjust. The Ai family has never advocated the use of punishment, but this punishment is the best test of people's hearts. People are punished
Faced with the pain caused, they often give in. Any truth can be forced out by punishment. Except for the hero Na Ling, how many heroes taught the enemy to use torture to extract confessions but never confessed a word. However, the women in the harem are extremely weak.
Yes, what punishment can it withstand?"
Luo Changan knocked his forehead heavily on the ground and said softly: "I request the Queen Mother to test the truth through torture. I will have no complaints."
Hearing this, the Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction, thinking that this child Luo Changan must have been wronged, and she had to go to great lengths to prove her innocence. She glanced at Xibi, Aunt Gui and Song Panyan one by one, and asked:
"What about you, are you willing to accept the punishment to prove your innocence?"
Liu Yuxi and Nanny Gui both had panic expressions on their faces. They were both extremely afraid of torture. No one wanted to see the clan's methods.
Song Panyan's expression also suddenly changed, and she hurriedly said: "I support the Queen Mother's use of torture. If Luo Changan, Liu Yuxi and others are tortured, we will know who is lying after the first trial."
Xi Concubine thought for a long time, and she was unwilling to accept the punishment. She was the emperor's concubine, and she was proud of her body. How could she accept the punishment so easily? She unconsciously felt that it was very difficult to save her face, and said: "The Queen Mother,
It was the emperor who ordered the three men of Luo Changan to be cut in half. Now that you want to overturn the case and retry it, would it be better to call the emperor?"
I thought to myself that the Emperor loves me very much. If I invite the Emperor, he will definitely protect me. Even the Queen Mother will not be able to do anything to me.
When the Queen Mother heard this, she was immediately filled with anger. She was so irritated that she slapped Liu Yuxi on the cheek with her backhand and shouted sternly: "If it weren't for a bitch like you to instigate it, how could the emperor abuse his imperial power and easily order three men to be cut in half?"
Servant! Now you don’t even know how to repent, and you even want the emperor to get involved in the affairs of the harem. I think you want me, Dadongming, to subjugate my country! Today, the Ai family will be the first to be interrogated by your people!"
Liu Yuxi was slapped directly from the chair to the ground. She got up in embarrassment, covered her red and swollen face, bit her lips and cried silently, not daring to make a sound again.
Song Panyan secretly tightened her grip, thinking that the Queen Mother was determined not to spare Yuliu Palace lightly this time. How about I excuse myself first, expose all the shady stories about Liu Yuxi, and take a preemptive strike to teach Liu Yuxi not to dare to speak nonsense.
.
"The Empress Dowager Mingjian, it is true that I offended Luo Chang'an that day outside the dragon's dormitory, but I am not a person who holds grudges. I will never hold grudges against Chang'an because of this matter, let alone plot to harm Luo Chang'an with Liu Yuxi.
A slave. I used to just drink tea and play chess with Liu Yuxi. I really didn’t know what kind of person Liu Yuxi was. She took the initiative to befriend me and always encouraged me to find an official position for her brother and teach me.
I refused. Now it seems that Liu Yuxi really has evil intentions and always wants to interfere in government affairs! What a disaster!"
Liu Yuxi was shocked and looked at Song Panyan, who was her sister, in shock, "Panyan, why do you say such evil words! How could I not know that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics."
