"I'll ask again."
Yun Chuyao raised her eyes, and her dark eyes fell on Axiang's face, as if she could see into her soul at a glance. She spoke slowly: "Who did you meet in the rockery yesterday at Haishi? What did you do again? What happened?"
Axiang's face turned pale and she said blankly: "My slave, I have never met anyone in the rockery, nor have I done anything. Your Highness, have you misunderstood something?"
"Misunderstand?"
Yun Chuyao lowered her eyebrows, chuckled, and casually pinched the purse on Axiang's waist: "Here, this purse is very familiar."
Axiang's legs are weak!
My heart jumped into my throat!
Yun Chuyao curled her lips and continued: "Yesterday, I saw this purse in the rockery, but the owner of the purse did not get lost, but hid it in the rocks with Shan Hua."
"thump!"
Axiang's face turned pale, and great fear surged into her heart. Without thinking, she knelt down on the ground and said, "You are wronged! Your Highness! This slave is wronged!"
Yun Chuyao's expression did not change.
Unjustly accused?
She was not wronged.
In the rockery last night, Yun Chuyao had indeed never seen the purse on Axiang's waist, but she was not a fool. Axiang's purse had been washed and turned white. As expected, she would never leave her body, so she deceived her. , maybe there will be an unexpected harvest.
Look.
Isn't she panicking?
"Unjustly accused?" Yun Chuyao said with a half-smile, "When did I ever say anything about being good at painting?"
boom!
A Xiang was shaken by these words, her heart was so confused, and she no longer had the calmness before. She raised her head in fear, glanced in the direction of Concubine Xian, and then she forced herself to calm down and said: "Your Highness, this servant is not I understand what you mean."
"Tell me about it."
Yun Chuyao spoke slowly: "How did you meet Shan Hua?"
Axiang's lips moved.
"By the way, I want to remind you," Yun Chuyao looked into her eyes and said meaningfully, "Don't try to lie to me. There are no secrets in this palace."
"Fellow countryman!"
Shan Shu, the palace maid who had been standing next to Song Qinghuan, suddenly remembered something. She walked forward on her knees and said repeatedly: "When I go back to Your Highness, I remember that when Shan Hua first entered the palace, she once said that she had a sister from the same country who was the Concubine Xian. The ones who serve in the palace, but I don’t know why, they haven’t contacted each other for several years, maybe the sister from the same country who is good at painting is Axiang!”
Yun Chuyao raised her eyebrows: "Really?"
"Your Highness!"
Axiang was flustered, but she didn't dare to show it on her face. She pretended to be calm and said: "I do have a close friendship with Shanhua. It's just that in the past few years, I have spent less time with her and my relationship has faded. Carefully calculate it." After all, we probably haven’t seen each other for a while.”
"Whether you have met or not, it's not up to you to say," Yun Chuyao said coldly, "My eyes are not for decoration!"
"Your Highness! This slave has been wronged!"
Axiang immediately said: "I know that Her Highness the Princess has extraordinary eyesight, which is beyond the comparison of ordinary people, but the lights near the rockery are dim. After all, it is not as good as the river bank. Even Her Highness the Princess can't see clearly, right?"
Yun Chuyao glanced at her.
Just one glance!
Axiang's heartbeat paused for a moment, and she had a vague premonition of something bad. She panicked, and just when she was about to speak, she saw that Princess Changle, who was talking to her just now, had moved her eyes away and looked towards Seeing the Jin Emperor who was sitting firmly on the throne, he said firmly: "Father! I bumped into A Xiang and Shan Hua conspiring at the rockery last night! I hope my father will investigate!"
Do you suspect that I can’t see the truth?
ridiculous.
I can't see clearly. What you say doesn't count, only what the father says. As long as the father nods, who cares how true or false my words are?
She would not be stupid enough to argue with a slave!
What's more, her opponent was never Axiang, but the Concubine Xian who stayed out of the matter and watched from the other side!
The hall was unusually quiet.
All you could hear was Axiang's increasingly rapid breathing.
Yun Chuyao narrowed her eyes and did not look at Emperor Jin's expression. There was insufficient evidence and she was full of calculations. She just had some clues. If she wanted to investigate, it would not be impossible to find out the truth. If she didn't want to investigate, there was no problem in giving up. She looked at Jin. What is the emperor's attitude?
But I guess he won't handle it lightly.
Sure enough, as soon as Yun Chuyao finished speaking, Emperor Jin had a gloomy face and said coldly: "Summon Mr. Li!"
Master Li!
Mr. Li who is in prison!
Yun Chuyao's heart trembled slightly!
The father wants to punish Axiang. To be precise, it is the death penalty. After all, this is Mr. Li, the one in the capital who can stop children from crying!
Soon, Master Li came upon the call!
He was only in his early thirties, and his appearance was pretty good, but he had been living in prison all year round. His temperament was so cold that just one look at him would make people feel cold all over!
Especially A Xiang!
As soon as she saw Mr. Li, her body was shaking non-stop. When Mr. Li slowly walked towards her and wanted to torture her, she screamed and instinctively begged for mercy: "No! Don't. !help me!"
So far away!
Yun Chuyao could see Concubine Xian's tense figure instantly.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty."
Concubine Xian hesitated for a while, and finally spoke bravely: "Axiang is the eldest palace maid next to me. If she really does something wrong, no matter how hard she is punished, she will still be punished. But if there is insufficient evidence, she will still be punished." If you receive the death penalty, wouldn't it, wouldn't it..."
Emperor Jin looked at her.
There was no warmth in his eyes.
Concubine Xian's face tightened, and her heart jumped into her throat. She was not a fool. Of course she knew that if she spoke at this time, she would get into trouble with Emperor Jin, but she did not dare not to persuade him, and she was also afraid that Axiang would not be able to bear it. He will be punished and reveal all the past things!
I thought that Emperor Jin's temper was a little weird, but if you really think about it, he was not bad to me. After all, when such a big thing happened to the emperor, he didn't mean to get angry at him. This was what the previous emperors did no matter what. less than.
It can be seen that he still has feelings for himself, but this feeling is still a little weak.
Concubine Xian looked at Emperor Jin's cold eyes, her heartbeat became even more panicked, and she swallowed the words "Isn't it embarrassing for my concubine?"
Only then did Emperor Jin look away.
"ah--"
Axiang's painful scream sounded!
Yun Chuyao lowered her eyes and didn't look much, but she also knew that Axiang must have had one of her nails pulled out by Mr. Li, otherwise she wouldn't be in such severe pain!
However, Mr. Li is still a master of torture. When the first nail was pulled out, he was not in a hurry to pull out the second nail. Instead, he squeezed Axiang's bleeding finger hard. The pain made Axiang roll his eyes before he pulled it out. Next nail!
Another scream!
This Axiang was only twenty years old, a pretty girl, but she was very strict with her mouth. Even though two of her fingernails were pulled out, she had no intention of betraying the concubine. She just shouted with tears streaming down her face: "I'm wronged." ! This slave is unjustly accused!"
Still a tough guy.
