As soon as Xia Luotong said these words, everyone immediately understood. It seemed that the palace maid only chose part of the true content to tell, but concealed other information that was detrimental to herself.
"If you hadn't spilled the soup and taken me to the side hall next door, how could I have appeared here?"
This is the most critical issue, and this is where today's events initially unfolded.
"I really didn't mean it. I was tripped by a stone. I was unjustly accused! Your Majesty, please forgive me!" The palace maid could not explain why Xia Luotong was led to the nearby side hall. She could only keep talking. He shouted that he was wronged and insisted that it was an accident.
The emperor looked at the maid hesitantly with cold eyes, and did not speak for a while.
He thought he could take this opportunity to stab Prince An in the heart, but he didn't expect that things would turn out like this. With Princess An's response, he completely removed herself and let his The thought came to nothing.
Although this was an unexpected situation and it would be a waste of money if it came to pass, he was a little unwilling to see the opportunity slipping away at this moment.
"Slave, do you know that doing such shameless things in the palace is a capital offense?" The emperor cast his cold eyes on the palace maid, and the threat was self-evident.
He wanted to force the maid to see if he could force Princess An into this matter again. With this opportunity, even if Princess An had not done anything wrong to Prince An, as long as there were other mistakes, he could seize this opportunity. She can't escape the blame!
The palace maid was frightened by the emperor and planned to continue to beg for mercy. However, when she raised her eyes and saw the emperor's eyes, she suddenly reacted with excitement. She rolled her eyes and opened her mouth and said: "Please, your Majesty, be aware! This servant was originally accompanying the princess." Miss Dong went to get a change of clothes, but she was knocked unconscious by Miss Lindong on the way! When she woke up again, she had been thrown into the side hall, and was given by this young master... It was really not voluntary for this slave to be a slave. of!"
Seeing that the palace maid understood what he meant, the emperor suddenly showed a look of satisfaction and said deliberately: "Nonsense! Why did Princess An knock you out? You are just a low-class palace maid!"
The palace maid's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and she racked her brains to save herself. Suddenly her eyes lit up: "Before I accidentally poured the hot soup on Princess An, the princess was about to come to the side hall, and I also I don’t know why the princess walked here. There is no garden here, only some vacant side halls! Then on the way to the side hall with the princess, the servant seemed to see a figure faintly passing by in the forest! "
After saying that, she quickly turned around to look around, and suddenly pointed at the clothes Yang Hongan was wearing and said urgently: "I remember, slave! The clothes worn by that figure are very similar to the clothes on this young master!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes suddenly changed. They glanced back and forth at Princess An and Yang Hongan, with something strange in their eyes.
The emperor was very satisfied, but said calmly: "Are you sure? The clothes on that figure are the same as those on Young Master Yang? Does the princess know that you saw that figure?"
These words made people think more and more in that direction. Although the emperor didn't say it clearly, who was there who couldn't understand it?
Princess An is planning to "kill people and silence them"!
The palace maid saw the person she was having a secret meeting with, so she directly knocked the person unconscious, and then blamed the palace maid for the incident! ?
The palace lady pretended to look at Yang Hongan's clothes for a while, then nodded quickly and said: "I'm sure, slave! This is the dress! This is what I saw on the way to the side hall!"
Everyone's eyes suddenly changed. Although they didn't say anything, their gazes towards Princess An changed somewhat. What they didn't expect was that Princess An was still taking it calmly and didn't panic at all. What does it look like?
A look of satisfaction flashed in the emperor's eyes, but then quickly disappeared. He turned to look at Xia Luotong seriously and asked: "Princess An, why did you come to this side hall? Are you here to have a private meeting with Yang Hong'an?"
Facing the questioning looks from around him and the sarcastic expressions of the Queen and the Crown Prince, Xia Luotong smiled faintly and slowly said: "A palace maid with misbehavior has already had her good deeds exposed in public. Why would the Emperor believe it?" What did she say? I was just taking a walk. There were many ladies and ladies on the road relaxing and chatting. When the maid poured hot soup on me, there were four or five ladies in the pavilion next to me. We are resting, they can all come here, why can’t I just come here?"
A series of rhetorical questions made the emperor's face become cold again. He didn't expect that this mere country woman would dare to speak to him so boldly, without any fear of his majesty.
What he didn't expect was that there were other ladies and ladies around her at that time. He immediately gritted his teeth and resented that this palace maid was useless and couldn't even tell a lie!
"Besides, who in the capital knows about a person like Yang Hong'an? How could I, my concubine, associate with such a person?" Xia Luotong suddenly looked at Yang Hong'an, who had been quietly huddled in the corner, not daring to say a word, and clicked directly He called his name and threatened, "Mr. Yang, you might as well tell yourself why you are here, but I would also like to remind you that deceiving the emperor is a capital crime. As for this palace maid, if you really like this palace lady, you will not be here even if you want to be the queen." I will be reluctant to give it to you, she is just a low-class palace maid, and she is not of any great status, so she will not kill you for a palace maid."
Her words were full of implications, and she was obviously telling him that this palace maid had a humble status, and even if he ruined it, he would not be punished too severely. But if it involved the royal family members, the consequences would be disastrous. Maybe even this I can't even save my life!
The emperor did not expect that Princess An would dare to threaten Yang Hong'an in front of him, but before he could say anything to stop her hint, Yang Hong'an was so excited that he took two steps on his knees and burst into tears.
"Your Majesty! I am wronged! Just now I was drinking with my friends in the Baohe Hall, but I was led out by a little eunuch who led me all the way to this side hall. After I entered the side hall, suddenly I lost consciousness as soon as my eyesight went dark, and I had no idea what was going on! When I woke up again, I made a mistake in a daze. I really didn’t know anything! I had never even seen An. Princess!"
