Her hands were frostbitten by the snow, and Lin Xie pinched her so hard that she almost shed tears from the pain. Fortunately, the pain also temporarily calmed her mind. She remembered that Lin Xie had told her not to talk nonsense before, so So he held back.
Only then did Lin Xie loosen his grip on her hand and hurriedly saluted Queen Ye Nong respectfully: "Slave, please see the Queen!"
Queen Ye Nong raised her lips and smiled. Her cold phoenix eyes first looked at Lin Xie, and then turned to fall on Hua Jue beside her.
She said: "Eunuch Lin, it's so late at night, what are you doing in this imperial garden?"
Lin Xie smiled slightly and said very calmly: "Back to the Queen, Queen Qingyi left a mandarin duck brocade handkerchief in your majesty's palace during the day. The slave sent someone to give the mandarin duck brocade handkerchief to the little palace maid and send it back. Unexpectedly, she was clumsy. He unexpectedly lost the mandarin duck brocade handkerchief, and was afraid of being punished by his master when he returned, so he searched for the lost mandarin duck brocade handkerchief. It happened that the slave found the mandarin duck brocade handkerchief again on the road, and happened to see it when he passed by the imperial garden. This little palace maid is looking for this mandarin duck brocade handkerchief, so she is about to hand it back to her."
Ye Nong didn't expect Lin Xie to be so calm. In just a short period of time, he could make up a perfect lie to excuse himself.
She wouldn't believe his lies. Yuwei, whom she had arranged for, clearly saw Qingyi coming to the Royal Garden. How could she become Hua Jue again by some strange combination of circumstances? She didn't want to think too much about the reason, but fortunately she surrounded the rice vat and finally caught the big mouse Lin Xie!
He considers himself to be a popular person around His Majesty, so he doesn't take him seriously. This time she got the chance and caught him. How could she let him go so easily? She would have to kill him.
So he said: "Just now, someone from the palace saw Concubine Qingyi entering the Imperial Garden with their own eyes, but Eunuch Lin, you said that Hua Jue was looking for a mandarin duck brocade handkerchief for Qingyi. I think you are really audacious and deceiving the superiors!"
Ye Nong yelled angrily, making Hua Jue tremble in fright.
Ye Nong turned to look at her and asked: "Hua Jue, let me ask you, is what Lin Xie said true? You are really looking for a mandarin duck brocade handkerchief for your master. Your master really has never been to this imperial garden. ?」
Although Hua Jue was frightened by Ye Nong, she still nodded and said, "Yes...Lin...Lin Gonggong is right. I accidentally lost Qingyi's favorite mandarin duck brocade handkerchief, so I didn't dare to go back." In Chenxi Palace, I could only look for the Mandarin Duck Brocade Pagoda all the way, and then...then I met Eunuch Lin..."
"Oh?" Ye Nong raised an eyebrow, and then stepped forward to approach Hua Jue, who was trembling with fear.
Lin Xie on the side looked at it and felt something was wrong. He was afraid that the little girl would not be able to bear the Queen's sexual desire. If she was frightened and said everything, his Qingyi would be finished.
If they fall into the hands of the queen today, she will definitely kill them. No matter how he tries to defend the matter, it will definitely arouse Lan Lin's suspicion. When the time comes, everything will be over when he investigates.
Lin Xie lowered his eyes uneasily and thought about countermeasures. He heard Queen Ye Nong sternly say to Hua Jue: "Do you know the price of lying? You are paying for others, and you may lose your life!"
When Hua Jue heard the word "little life", he couldn't help but was so frightened that he stretched out his hand to cover his neck, and then fell to his knees with a plop.
Lin Xie thought it was over, this little girl was afraid she would confess.
Although Hua Jue cherishes her life, she is also an upright person. She has seen a lot of intrigues and intrigues in this palace, but it is not easy for her to still maintain her pure character.
She knelt down and trembled and said: "What the slave said is all true. Empress Qingyi has really never been to the Imperial Garden. The person who came to the Imperial Garden is a slave! I don't dare to lie to the Queen! Please be careful. !」
Seeing that Hua Jue was so stubborn, Ye Nong had no choice but to catch a girl in bed, and to catch a thief, you need to get dirty. Since Hua Jue refused to admit that Qingyi had been to the Royal Garden, it was not easy to convict Qingyi of this matter. .
She looked coldly at Lin Xie, who was standing with hands down. Lin Xie had never expected that Hua Jue would be such a tough maid. She was not even afraid of death. She would give up her life to save her. Such a maid was truly a real maid. It's rare.
Ye Nong then thought about it, since he didn't catch Qingyi, why did he have to capture her? If you can take this opportunity to bring down Lin Xie, it will be worthwhile.
So Ye Nong came up with a plan and prepared to put the shit basin on Lin Xie's head. This time he would be worse than dead.
She looked at Lin Xie with cold eyes, and then said slowly: "Oh? Since you are here to return the mandarin duck brocade handkerchief, then bring it over and let me have a look!"
Lin Xie hurriedly took out the mandarin duck brocade handkerchief from his arms and offered it with both hands.
Ye Nong thought to himself, he didn't expect that he could actually get a mandarin duck brocade handkerchief.
Ye Nong signaled Fu An beside him to take the mandarin duck brocade handkerchief from Lin Xie's hand.
She carefully looked at the pattern on the mandarin duck brocade handkerchief, and then said with a smile: "This brocade handkerchief has mandarin ducks and lotus flowers on it. Although there is not a single word left, everything is full of affection. So. I see, what you just said about looking for mandarin ducks and brocade handkerchiefs is a lie, and secret trysts are true. Eunuch Lin, you are so beautiful! Although you are a eunuch, you are as tall as a jade tree facing the wind. It is inevitable that this girl will be moved by you, and you will actually take this opportunity. A gift of love to Eunuch Lin, it seems you just had a tryst in this imperial garden!"
Lin Xie was startled, Hua Jue opened her mouth and raised her head, but she didn't expect the queen to say such a thing.
Hua Jue hurriedly shook his head and said, "The Queen Mingjian, I really came here to look for the brocade handkerchief, and the Eunuch Lin I met then was not a tryst!"
Lin Xie knew that no matter how Hua Jue tried to defend herself, the queen was going to put the shit basin on her head, and she couldn't hide even if she wanted to.
It's better to have something happen to him than to Qingyi. If the Queen catches him here today, she won't let him go easily no matter what.
Lin Xie hurriedly knelt down with a plop, then lowered his head and said to Ye Nong: "This slave is confused and has taken a fancy to the palace maid Hua Jue next to the Queen Qingyi. I was temporarily distracted and infatuated and could not control myself, so I had an affair with her in the imperial garden. Yes, to relieve the pain of lovesickness!"
Hua Jue was stunned and looked at Lin Xie who was kneeling beside him. She didn't expect that he would say such a thing. Her original intention was to protect her master, but she accidentally ended up having an affair with the eunuch in charge of the dynasty.
This is something that even jumping into the Yellow River can't clean up, but Hua Jue can't defend herself at this moment. After all, she has already lost the game and has no regrets.
Lin Xie's sudden revelation shocked Ye Nong. There had long been rumors in the palace that he had an affair with His Majesty. If that was true, how could he be involved with the palace maid? In this way, he is guilty of deceiving the emperor!
Ye Nong really didn't mind watching the excitement, thinking that since Lin Xie is the person who chases Lan Wang, he should leave it to Zhui Lan Wang to deal with it. Let's see how he can keep his face. His male favorite, He actually got together with a palace maid, this is really a big joke!
Ye Nong couldn't wait to see Lan Lin's unpalatable expression, so he laughed and said: "Hahaha! It's really not funny! His Majesty's personal eunuch actually went to hang out with the palace maids behind His Majesty's back. How wonderful. I think this matter should be left to His Majesty!"
Soon Lin Xieye and Hua Jue were escorted to Yuqian Palace by Ye Nong's people. Lan Lin in Yuqian Palace didn't know what happened yet. He was reviewing the memorial in the study when he heard a noise coming from outside Yuqian Palace. There was the sound of footsteps, and then there was a burst of fire. He couldn't help but frown and threw away the brush in his hand.
I was thinking about who would dare to break into Yugan Palace without permission, but I saw that the person who came was actually Queen Ye Nong in a black dress.
"Queen? What are you doing here?"
Ye Nong bowed to Lan Lin, and then said: "I am here to see your majesty!"
Lan Lin pointed at the large number of guards behind Ye Nong and asked, "What are you doing with so many people?"
Ye Nong smiled proudly, then looked at Lan Lin standing on the stairs, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty! I just happened to catch a eating rat for you when I was passing by the Imperial Garden!"
Lan Lin didn't know why, he frowned and asked, "A rat that steals food? What kind of rat can make you, Queen, so aggressive?"
Ye Nong clapped his hands and saw Fu'an leading people to press Lin Xie and Hua Jue up.
"Lin Xie——" Lan Lin's devil eyes glared, thinking that this guy can't do anything if he doesn't do something for himself!
I heard Ye Nong proudly say: "Your Majesty, this Eunuch Lin is so brave! As your Majesty, he still dares to go out to eat secretly behind your Majesty's back. Just now he had an affair with the concubine Qingyi's palace maid Hua Jue
, I was treated right away by my concubine! "
When Lan Lin heard this, he felt his forehead and temples twitching, and he almost fell back without stepping back. Fortunately, as the king of a country, he could still stand despite many strong winds and waves.
His eyes fell on Lin Xie like knives. He gritted his teeth in anger and asked in a cold voice: "Lin Xie, is what the Queen said true?"
Lin Xie hurriedly knelt down and did not defend himself: "Please forgive me, your majesty, slave... I fell in love with the palace maid Hua Jue at first sight and couldn't control my love. That's why I secretly had a tryst in the imperial garden behind your majesty's back, and was caught by the empress." Right!"
Lin Xie knew that he looked like Lan Lin's old lover, so no matter how serious a crime he committed, he would never kill him.
However, this matter is too dangerous. I am afraid that Lan Lin will not allow Hua Jue's life. What happens tonight is that Hua Jue has to be sacrificed. Although she is a good girl, there is nothing she can do to save Qingyi.
After hearing Lin Xie's admission, Lan Lin was so angry that he clenched his fists and waved his sleeves. Then he put one hand on his hips and the other to protect his forehead. He turned around in a circle. He didn't know where to vent his anger. He stepped forward and pointed with his hand. Lin Xie, who was kneeling on the ground, said the word "you" three times in a row, but in the end said nothing and endured it.
Queen Ye Nong was watching the show from the sidelines, thinking that this was not going to work. How could His Majesty endure such humiliation? She would have to add fuel to the fire.
So he stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, as a eunuch, you have an affair with a palace maid in private. This is really a disgrace to the Palace of Zuilan!"
Lan Lin naturally understood what Ye Nong meant. His feelings were insinuating that he had lost face!
Lan Lin said sternly: "Queen, you also said that Lin Xie is an eunuch. How could a eunuch have an affair with a palace maid?"
Ye Nong was shocked. He didn't expect Lan Lin to protect Lin Xie to such an extent. People even cuckolded him, but he was still protecting him.
