Yun Chuyao bent her fingers and tapped the table gently, making a crisp sound. The room was quiet for a moment. Then she raised her eyes and spoke slowly: "I don't know what evidence the prince and brother have found. Can I let Chang Le have a look?" Where’s the view?”
The prince would naturally not refuse.
Yun Chuyao took the letter, glanced at it roughly from front to back, top to bottom, and raised her eyebrows: "Were the human and physical evidence discovered in the past two days?"
As she said that, she sneered: "What a coincidence."
"I feel the same way."
The prince said solemnly: "I guess who set the trap."
As he said this, he felt a little complacent. Do you think Gu would hide it in his heart and guard against A Yao secretly after he got the evidence? Little did he know that Gu trusted A Yao the most and would never leave A Yao just because of the so-called evidence!
Your calculation is wrong!
"Here."
Yun Chuyao raised her chin and said, "Bring the palace maid named Xiaoyue here too. Isn't it about the physical evidence she burned with her own hands? I want to see her."
After a while, two or three guards came in escorting a thin palace maid.
The little palace maid was only thirteen or fourteen years old. She was very thin and short, with a timid temperament and a very ordinary appearance. Yun Chuyao felt that she was strange when he saw her. He expected that she should be a rough maid. In her free time, she was afraid that You can't meet yourself.
Sure enough, when she saw herself and the prince, she started to tremble a little. Before they could ask questions, her legs gave out, and she knelt down on the ground with a plop, begging for mercy: "Your Highness! I realize my mistake! "
"oh?"
Yun Chuyao was a little curious: "Then tell me what you did wrong?"
The little palace maid's face was pale, her lips trembled twice, and then she said in panic: "My slave, I shouldn't be lazy and sweep the path next to the flower bed. I shouldn't be greedy. I took two more white buns. I shouldn't return them." You shouldn’t burn medicinal powder in Changle Palace.”
"Powder?"
"Yeah!" The little palace maid promised while crying, "Next time! Next time, the slave will definitely take the powder outside the palace and burn it!"
Yun Chuyao: "..."
She glanced at the prince silently and said nothing.
The prince's face darkened slightly, and he said in a cold voice: "Did you know that the medicinal powder you burned was the culprit that caused the lonely gale horse to go crazy two months ago!"
"Only a little!"
Yun Yanyu also grinded his teeth with hatred: "It was just a little bit close! This prince died under the hoof of a horse! You cheap maid! You deserve to die!"
The little palace maid was horrified!
For a moment, she forgot the rules in the palace, raised her head suddenly, looked at the prince in shock, and said in panic: "No, it's impossible, she clearly said that these medicinal powders are for treating diseases and cannot harm him. Man, how is it possible - Your Highness! Your Highness the Crown Prince! This slave is unjust! This slave doesn’t know anything! It’s Jinzhu! It’s the powder that Sister Jinzhu asked this slave to burn!”
Jinzhu!
The prince and others suffocated in their breath and looked at Yun Chuyao suddenly.
Yun Chuyao looked calm, she just raised her eyebrows and said calmly: "Jinzhu? Just bring her over."
"Here."
Jinmei quickly responded.
The atmosphere became more solemn.
Only Yun Chuyao's expression did not change, and she was still sipping her tea slowly, as if she was not disturbed by the people around her at all, and her posture was so uncomfortable.
I don't know how long it took, but there were footsteps outside the hall. She raised her eyelids and glanced at Jinzhu.
"My servant Jinzhu has met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Princess Changle, and His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince." Jin Zhu stepped forward, bowed thoughtfully, and said, "Your Highness, you are blessed with good fortune and great blessings."
The prince's expression was not very good, so naturally he would not let her stand, and asked directly: "Jinzhu, do you know this little palace maid?"
Jinzhu then raised his eyes, glanced at the palace maid Xiaoyue, then quickly looked away, lowering his eyebrows and saying submissively: "I have never seen her before, Your Highness."
As soon as these words came out, Xiaoyue was also shocked. She quickly walked forward and said hurriedly: "Sister Jinzhu! I am Xiaoyue! Don't you remember me?"
As she said that, she suddenly realized something!
Does Jinzhu want to put all the blame on me? !
"Your Highness! She is lying!" After Xiaoyue realized her situation, she couldn't hide her panic. She just gritted her teeth and said, "She knows this slave, and several of my companions can prove this!"
"Jinzhu! What else do you have to say!"
The prince's face darkened and he said, "I'm asking you for the last time, do you know Xiaoyue?"
Jinzhu's legs went weak, and he knelt on the ground with a plop, and said in panic: "Your Highness, this slave, this slave has been wronged, this slave doesn't know me——"
"Full of lies!"
The prince angrily scolded: "Come here! Drag this audacious dog slave down! Beat her hard! When will you tell the truth, when will you bring her in!"
The guard responded: "Yes!"
"No!"
Jinzhu's face turned pale, and he looked at Yun Chuyao in a panic, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Highness, Your Highness Princess, please say something. This slave is loyal and has never done anything inappropriate, Your Highness!"
Yun Chuyao looked cold and unmoved.
Seeing this, the prince felt relieved and immediately ordered: "Pull it down!"
"Your Highness, save me!"
Jinzhu screamed: "Your Highness Princess! Everything I do is for you and I obey your orders. Please save me. I don't want to die!"
"Um?"
Yun Chuyao's lips curled up slightly, and she said with a half-smile, "What did I tell you? You should explain it carefully."
Jinzhu raised his head blankly and said in disbelief: "Your Highness, don't you want to admit it?"
"presumptuous!"
Jinmei's face darkened, and she immediately scolded: "You are a cheap servant, how dare you spit on others? But don't forget, Her Highness the Princess treats you well. You collude with outsiders and frame the Princess, and you are not afraid of being punished by God!"
At this point, if she could no longer see that there was a driving force behind Jinzhu, wouldn't she be a fool?
"okay."
Yun Chuyao raised her hand to stop Jinmei's questioning and said coldly: "Jinzhu, please continue."
Jinzhu's pretty face turned pale, and two lines of tears fell down. One drop, two drops, hit the ground. She choked and said: "Your Highness, I am loyal and have never thought of betraying you, but your heart is too cruel. Oh, this slave will also be heartbroken!"
After that, she bowed deeply in the direction of the prince and cried bitterly: "Your Highness! This slave knows Xiaoyue, and the powder Xiaoyue burned was also given to her by this slave! It is really a sin for this slave to help the evildoer!"
"What do you mean?"
Yun Yanyu was the first to lose his temper and asked, "Do you want to frame my imperial sister?"
"This slave is wronged!"
Jinzhu said sharply: "Everything I said is true, and I will never accuse anyone wrongly. A few months ago, it was the princess who ordered someone to poison the prince's gale horse, and finally injured the ninth prince by accident. !”
