Gao Bin suddenly changed his face, but the one who was most irritated was Xue Yingxue!
Xue Yingxue immediately knelt on the ground with a thump and kowtowed to Jiang Huaijing.
"Your Majesty! How dare the ministers of the court deceive the Emperor with lies! These bastards must be severely punished! Keep the rules straight!"
She didn't care that she was still injured from being punished by Xue Xiangrong two days ago, nor did she care about the dignity of a concubine.
At this moment, Xue Yingxue had only one thought - Gao Bin must not be allowed to tell everything!
The two looked at each other, and both saw traces of cruelty in each other's eyes.
Jiang Huaijing sat on the high platform, looked at the two people, and sneered, "I will find out! Someone is here!"
As soon as he finished speaking, more than three times the number of imperial guards appeared outside the hall.
"Check, check it for me. Anyone who has touched the phosphorus powder will definitely have traces of it on their fingers!"
Jiang Huaijing stared at the people under the desk with his hawk-like eyes.
Only Xue Yingxue and Gao Bin's expressions changed slightly.
Even Wang Qin just now looked calm and composed in his clothes!
Today's sacrificial ceremony, these ministers and concubines were the only ones in the audience.
To show respect, except for the personal maids and bodyguards of the emperor and the queen, these ministers and concubines were not allowed to have servants.
Moreover, this altar is closed. It will only be opened on the day of the sacrificial ceremony when the emperor and the queen are ready.
Therefore, if you want to take action, you can only use these high-ranking ministers who usually have unlimited glory, or - concubines!
Xue Xiangrong, who was on the side, ordered the palace maid to take Jiang Jinyu and Xiyu down to take care of them, and also joined the inspection.
Even though she was a queen, she was not the subject of suspicion.
But Xue Xiangrong was cautious, and on the other hand, it was also to silence these ministers.
Jiang Zao's little dumpling felt at ease in her arms. His little paws hugged Xue Xiangrong's neck tightly, while he looked at his father with adoring eyes.
【Wow~ Daddy is so mighty! Dad is still the smartest, and he is truly worthy of being the one to sit on the throne! My mother is great, cautious and careful, and my baby is the cutest in charge~ Let’s fight the bad guys away as a family! Kill it! Kiss mother, say something quickly~]
Xue Xiangrong suddenly changed her tone when she heard the soft voice, and couldn't help laughing and hugged the pink dumpling in her arms tightly.
But this also happened to give her a chance, and she suddenly got a bite on her face.
The empress of the world, the empress of the mother, is exuding the brilliance of motherhood at this moment, looking very gentle and pleasant.
She hugged Jiang Zao and took a sip gently, which made Jiang Zao giggle.
[Yeah~ Kiss your mother and kiss your baby! The baby is indeed my mother’s favorite! Dad, have you seen it? Baby, my mother took it away and won’t give it back to you~]
Jiang Zao's big eyes rolled with pride, and Xue Xiangrong half-hugged her up, allowing her to sit half-sit in his arms and look at Jiang Huajing.
And the emperor, who was sitting firmly on the high platform, couldn't help but look at his wife and daughter, his eyes full of smiles, no longer convinced by the coldness just now.
Among the people being searched below, Xue Yingxue stared coldly at the interaction between the three of them.
She gritted her teeth and almost dug her nails into her palms!
Damn Xue Xiangrong, that phoenix robe and that position should have been hers!
If she passed this level, she would definitely think of other ways to bring down Xue Xiangrong!
This time she was not thinking carefully. She never thought that Jiang Huaijing would know such a folk remedy!
But in her memory, she had never heard of which prince the late emperor brought with him during his private visit in disguise?
Could it be...Xue Yingxue's eyes suddenly fell on Jiang Zao.
Jiang Zao seemed to feel something, looked at her, but stuck out his tongue!
[Bah, bah, bah, bad woman, you must be disappointed! The baby is so cute, why not take a second look at it? Let you send Lan Jie to harm Aunt Xiyu and make you a bad person! snort! If you are found out later, you will be doomed! 】
Xue Xiangrong's face turned sharply at the soft accusation.
She followed Jiang Zao's proud yet unyielding gaze and saw Xue Yingxue looking at the mother and daughter with cold eyes.
It was Lan Jie who came to harm her Xiao Yuer?
Xue Xiangrong pondered for a while, then called Nian Qiu and ordered in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Nian Qiu, go and check to see if Lan Chu knows martial arts."
Nianqiu received the order, turned around and quickly left the Yangxin Hall from the side hall and went straight to Xueyang Palace.
But Xue Yingxue didn't notice it at all.
From what she could see, Xue Xiangrong and the little kid were both provoking her!
Xue Yingxue almost had her silver teeth chewed through. She was thinking about how she would trample the mother and daughter under her feet in the future, but she heard the guard behind her who was escorting her to check her fingers loudly shouting to Jiang Huaijing: "Your Majesty! Find it!" It's gone! There is residue on Concubine Xue's fingertips!"
As soon as these words came out, Xue Yingxue heard gasps from all around.
The concubines who could come to watch the ceremony dispersed around, and Xue Yingxue was suddenly alone in an open space, as if she was already the target of public criticism!
Gao Bin instructed her to get this phosphorus powder in person.
She still felt strange, but she was eager but didn't think much about it.
And this little bit of contact turned out to be evidence of her taking action.
Had Gao Bin already prepared a way out for himself?
Waiting for the revelation to come out before pushing her out? !
Xue Yingxue's face was pale, she glanced at Gao Bin subconsciously, and then hurriedly kowtowed to Jiang Huaijing!
"Your Majesty! I don't know the inside story, Your Majesty! Your Majesty! I am unjustly accused!"
If she had kowtowed just now just to let Jiang Huaijing punish Gao Bin first, then now she was begging for mercy so that she could escape the blame!
Murdering the princess and framing the queen, if these two crimes were added together, even a hundred heads would not be enough for her to lose!
【Unjustly accused? snort! Bad woman, you are so funny, what else can you say if the evidence is conclusive! But Gao Bin is not a good guy either. He was the one who did it in the first place! 】
Jiang Zao groaned in Xue Xiangrong's arms and stretched out his little paws, as if he wanted to hit Xue Yingxue from a distance.
Xue Xiangrong also spoke decisively, but her words were directed towards the emperor in dragon robe, "Your Majesty, Concubine Xue is the concubine. This phosphorus powder is useless in the palace, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs has not prepared it. If the concubine wants to find some folk stuff, someone must send it in."
"I don't know if there is any other secret behind this?"
These words not only seemed to speak for Xue Yingxue, but in fact, they were meant to make it easier for Jiang Huaijing to lure out Gao Bin, an old fox!
Xue Yingxue seemed to have thought of this too.
She secretly clenched her hands supporting her body.
Since she can't get rid of her crime, then... drag Gao Bin into the water!
If she can't escape the blame, Gao Bin will be useless!
How could she tolerate a useless person staying in the court to show off his power?
Xue Yingxue glanced sideways at Gao Bin and saluted Jiang Huaijing again.
"Your Majesty, I'll recruit you, I'll recruit anything! In fact, all of this was forced by Lord Gao Bin!"
