Emperor Jin was sitting at the top, and there was no sign of happiness or anger. However, his lowered eyes and indifferent expression still made it clear that he was brewing anger. However, despite this, he did not embarrass Yun Chuyao and the other two. Meaning, he just raised his hand to signal them to level up.
Yun Chuyao straightened up.
"Father, I heard that the maid next to Yue Ji identified me. I wonder if this is the case?"
She spoke slowly, her voice was neither high nor low, but it was enough for everyone in the hall to hear. For a moment, everyone straightened up, their hearts tightened, and they were secretly surprised: Princess Changle was so brave, she actually dared to be angry with the emperor. When the time comes, speak directly!
What was even more shocking was that the emperor was not annoyed and even replied: "It is true."
Yun Chuyao understood, and then she looked away, casting her eyes on Xiao He who was kneeling in the middle of the hall, and said slowly: "Are you Yue Ji's maid?"
Xiao He and Yue Ji seemed to have a deep relationship. When Yue Ji died, Xiao He not only cried so hard that her eyes were red, but her voice became dry and hoarse. However, she still forced herself to calm down and said: "Yes, I am the maid next to Miss Yue." Son, it was my slave who identified you and the second princess."
"Why!"
The second princess jumped to her feet immediately: "We have no enmity with Yue Ji, how can we harm her? Don't make false claims!"
"From last night to now, my girl has only seen and spoken to two princesses," Xiao He's voice was trembling, and her eyes looking at Yun Chuyao were filled with fear, "More, more What's more, when my girl was talking to you, she knelt on the ground and kowtowed to you. If she wasn't threatened, why would she do this?"
The second princess laughed angrily: "She told you that this princess threatened her?"
"No, no."
"Then you made such a bullshit threat!" The second princess pinched her waist with both hands and said angrily, "I didn't think you had any evidence!"
Yun Chuyao also spoke slowly: "It is true that I have never threatened Yue Ji, nor have I had any unpleasantness with her. This point can be testified by the maids around me and the attendants beside the second princess. As for why Yue Ji did this Kneel on the ground and ask for help from me, but you are her personal maid and you don’t know?”
Xiao He was startled for a moment, then raised his head blankly: "Slave, I don't know."
Yun Chuyao didn't seem to believe it, and she looked at Xiao He with a little doubt in her eyes. After a while, she looked away and fell on Princess Xian's face, with just the right amount of doubt flashing in her eyes.
The smile on Princess Xian's lips froze slightly.
"I think Auntie Huang knows the inside story, right?" Yun Chuyao tilted her head and asked.
"Wha, what?" Princess Xian asked in astonishment, "Me? Yue Ji and I have never met each other, how could I know the inside story? Did Changle misunderstand something?"
"how come?"
Yun Chuyao frowned and said, "What Yue Ji said personally, can it be false?"
"Yes, yes!" The second princess rolled her eyes and took the idea into account, saying, "Yue Ji said that the emperor's aunt was jealous by nature and often beat and scolded her. She also said that if we couldn't save her from the Prince Xian's Mansion, , she will die within a few days, my third sister and I didn’t believe it at the time, who could have imagined that Yue Ji is really dead!”
As she said that, she couldn't help but muttered: "I don't know if it was a coincidence or -"
Princess Xian’s face turned pale!
How could she possibly want to watch the fun? Everyone couldn't sit still anymore and stood up quickly, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I am wronged. I have never seen Yue Ji before the reception banquet. How could I beat her, scold her and threaten her?" !”
"If I remember correctly," Yun Chuyao paused, "there should be a wound on Yue Ji's wrist."
"Yeah!"
The second princess was very happy and immediately said: "It's a pinch mark!"
"It seems that I remember correctly," Yun Chuyao frowned and said, "It's strange that Yue Ji identified the emperor's aunt and claimed that the emperor's aunt wanted to kill her, but the emperor's aunt didn't recognize her. Her maid I have no recollection of this either, so who’s lying?”
Xiao He was also confused.
To be precise, she was a little confused the moment Yun Chuyao spoke. As Yue Ji's personal maid, she didn't even know that Yue Ji had been bullied by Princess Xian. One can imagine how much Yue Ji's words were. real.
But in Xiao He's memory, Yue Ji has always been a person who blushes when she lies!
She stayed where she was.
She was stupid, but no one else was. After a while, the imperial doctor bowed and walked into the hall. He explained the situation on Yue Ji's wrist. Finally, he said that Yue Ji's wounds were most likely caused by her pinching herself. from!
As soon as these words came out!
Many people looked ugly!
Yun Chuyao also raised her head and glanced in the direction of King Xian. Unfortunately, she didn't see anything from King Xian's expression and could only look away.
The atmosphere is a little weird.
The maid Xiao He was also sitting on pins and needles, beads of sweat rolled down her forehead, but she didn't dare to wipe the sweat, so she just knelt on the ground and said, "Slave, I don't know. I only know that Miss Yue met the two princesses last night. , I had another bowl of porridge this morning."
The poison is in the porridge.
Yun Chuyao asked her: "Did you personally get Yue Ji's breakfast? Who did you meet on the way? Did the meal ever leave your hand?"
"yes."
Xiaohe's face turned pale and she said in a trembling voice: "The girl's breakfast was brought by a servant, and she didn't meet anyone. I think there was something wrong in the dining room."
As soon as she said this, the steward of the dining room immediately said: "Impossible, the servant is alert. Everyone who comes in and out of the dining room is recorded, and everyone's breakfast is also tested for poison. The servants nearby cannot guarantee it, but The food that comes out of the dining room must be clean!"
in this way.
The mistake can only happen to Xiao He!
The little maid was careless. When she heard the steward's decisive words and the evidence, she panicked and said with trembling lips: "I'm not a slave. The slaves were all carrying breakfast along the way. It’s impossible to leave your hand—”
Half the story!
She suddenly remembered something and her face changed slightly!
"Someone hit the slave!"
She said anxiously: "When I just came out of the dining room, I accidentally bumped into a little palace maid, and almost knocked away the girl's breakfast. She was quick and helped the slave. Is it okay? Is it okay? meeting……"
"Do you remember that person's appearance?"
Xiaohe opened his mouth and said, on the verge of tears, "I, I can't remember clearly."
Seeing her words fall, Yun Chuyao's brows furrowed. Xiao He panicked and said quickly: "But if I see her, I will definitely remember her!"
Yun Chuyao raised her eyebrows!
It was a small thing that Yue Ji was poisoned, but it was a big thing to disturb the Holy Master. Naturally, this matter had to be investigated, not only but also in detail. When there were clues, Emperor Jin's people immediately took action!
