The Department of Punishment is a good place. There are only tortures that people can't imagine, and there are no torture tools that are not available there.
Once there, even death becomes a luxury.
Although this maid is someone close to Miss Zuo, the Shenxing Division has a notorious reputation. Anyone who is not a brainless person knows what will happen if she goes to that place.
She turned pale with fright and glanced at Miss Zuo hesitantly.
Miss Zuo was so angry at her look that her beautiful face was livid with anger. She secretly prayed in her heart that this cheap maid would not say anything inappropriate.
Miss Zuo's name is Zuo Qing. Although she is more scheming than others, she is still just a girl who has just gotten her haircut.
If she really tried her best, she might not be able to hide it from any old man who had stayed in the palace for several years.
She and Xiao Jiujiu, the personal maid, were not secretive. Xin Zhangjing saw all this.
Full of ridicule in his heart, he decided to add more firewood to the fire and glanced at Xiao Yunzi.
Xiao Yunzi stepped forward and tried to take the maid away. The maid panicked and was about to beg for mercy.
But before he had time to speak, Zuo Qing on the side seemed to see the signs and spoke first:
"Empress, Qingcha is my maid. Xu has been with me since she was a child, and because my parents are both servants in the house, I don't have much knowledge. Maybe I saw the beauty of this blood jade and couldn't help but steal it. It’s my daughter who has failed to discipline her well, so I still ask the empress to punish her.”
Although this left-leaning person is still young, he is indeed somewhat clever.
She knew that Qingcha, the maid, was afraid of the Shenxing Division and was afraid that Qingcha would say something detrimental to her, so she took a preemptive strike and hinted that Qingcha's parents and relatives were still in the house, and she had to consider her parents and relatives before saying anything she wanted to say.
This is also the habit of many mistresses to choose personal maids for their daughters. People who know the details are easy to choose, and it is certainly better if they are slaves born from the family.
With their parents and relatives around, they are not afraid that they will not be obedient.
as expected!
As soon as Zuo Qing said these words, his words dimmed as the tea came to his lips, and his eyes instantly became hollow.
She knew that she couldn't tell her reasons, otherwise even if she escaped the punishment of the Shenxing Division, she would not be able to escape when she returned to the house in the future.
It is also very likely that your family will be harmed.
So he simply kept silent and chose to accept his fate.
"The Queen, ladies and gentlemen, I think this is very suspicious." Zhan Rong, who was pushed to the ground before, was not so easy to dismiss. She was neither humble nor arrogant:
"Qingcha is just a powerless maid. How could she have the courage to steal the eldest princess's birthday gift?"
Speaking of this, Zhan Rong raised her head and glanced at Taoxiang beside her: "Besides, when the palace maid came to identify her just now, she didn't recognize that Qingcha was the maid next to her. It can be seen that Qingcha did not take the things, so she must have taken them. The person was transferred to Qingcha..."
"Besides -" At this point, Zhan Rong paused, looked at Zuo leaning aggressively, and asked: "When the blood jade was found just now, why did Miss Zuo conclude that I framed you? Miss Zuo, can you give me a message? What’s the explanation?”
Everyone's expressions changed.
That's right. Taoxiang took the palace maid to look around, but couldn't find the little maid. If something appeared on Qingcha, it was very likely that Qingcha had handed over to the little maid.
Qingcha is just a servant. No matter how much he likes her, he will not be so bold as to bribe others to steal things for him.
She is not even a serious mistress, how dare she do such a stupid thing?
Moreover, the left-leaning performance just now shows that there is no three hundred taels of silver here. If a normal person finds something that does not belong to him, wouldn't his first reaction be where the thing came from?
Fortunately for her, the first thing she did after panicking was to identify Zhan Rong and push Zhan Rong to the ground.
Obviously Zhan Rong had little interaction with her before.
The only possibility is... Thinking of this, everyone's eyes couldn't help but focus on Zuo Qing.
Zuo Qian's face turned blue and white, and a flash of panic flashed in his eyes.
She was indeed the one who did this. Because of the premature birth of the first wife, the Sixth Prince had become increasingly displeased with the Crown Prince in recent years, but he was more fond of Gu Liang.
Her father knew something and told her mother, and her mother told her that there was no guarantee that Gu Liang would be the heir in the future.
Zuo Qingsheng was beautiful, and he was also a man of ideas, so he started to think about it after hearing these words.
Taking advantage of her reputation as a talented girl, she accidentally or unintentionally built a bridge with Gu Liang. After secretly communicating with each other for such a long time, the two of them soon became interested in a concubine, and they only waited for her to come to propose marriage when she was older.
But at this time, the Sixth Prince decided to marry Zhan Rong, the daughter of the Zhan family, to Gu Liang.
It can be imagined how broken Zuo Qing was. She could not offend the Sixth Prince, so she took out her anger on Zhan Rong, thinking of harming Zhan Rong.
This time is a good opportunity to make Zhan Rong lose face in front of so many noble ladies and ladies, and then Gu Liang can cancel the engagement smoothly.
She didn't want Gu Liang to get a bad reputation. She was going to marry Gu Liang in the future. If Gu Liang's reputation was ruined, what would she do if others would slander her in the future?
So she carefully planned for a long time to have the blood jade placed behind Zhan Rong without anyone noticing. Who knew Qingcha was so unreliable that the blood jade was still on her body after a long time!
After all, Qingcha is his personal maid, how could others not suspect her?
The more Zuo Qing thought about it, the more panicked she became, but she couldn't think of a better excuse at the moment. Her mental endurance was too poor, and her face turned pale when she thought about it, her vision went dark, and she almost fainted.
"Empress," General Qi Wei's wife was not here just now. When she came back and saw this formation, she hurriedly asked others to ask. After she knew the situation, she did not dare to delay and hurriedly walked to the center: "I am the one who taught the servants how to do this." Yan, please punish me."
General Qi Wei is a military attache. Although there is peace now, it is hard to chill the military attache's heart.
Besides, the palace maid who could identify him didn't identify Qingcha just now. This matter is not big or small. The general's wife said this just to save her daughter.
As for Qingcha... she was just a maid, and her words were still up to standard. She put all the blame on her daughter to the servants.
"Okay," Xie Ziyue looked at Zuo Qing with knives in her eyes, and said, "It would be great if I can find him, but this kind of thing must never happen again in the future."
"Sister, you are so magnanimous." How could it be that Concubine De couldn't see who the murderer was? He also followed the yin and yang and said:
"If I were my sister, even if I dig up a few layers of land, I would still find the person who stole the things and punish him!"
Everyone saw that they thought Zuo Qing was behind the scenes, but there was no punishment for remembering her father's affection.
Zhan Rong looked at Zuo Qing's pale face and raised the corners of her lips slightly.
