Chapter 71(1/2)
The queen looked at Bao Jieyu, her eyes flashed, and she smiled on her face. She gently asked her, "Bao Jieyu, is this bracelet yours?"
After glanced at the queen, Concubine Bao lowered her eyes, neither humble nor arrogant, "It's my concubine."
After she admitted, the queen paused and hesitated, "This..."
"When did your bracelet fall into scattered?"
"I don't know."
Seeing that she had no guilt in her face, the queen curled her eyelids and stopped asking her again. She couldn't interfere in this matter. She held her warm woman and kept silent. Both sides were the emperor's favorite concubines, and she would not please her. It would be better to hand over this matter to the emperor.
Seeing that the queen stopped asking about it easily, Li frowned. Because of his unknown fear of Bao Jieyu, he finally did not continue to speak.
At this time, Bai Lu, Miaoqin and the others who had received the news also rushed to Yingfeng Hall and found two little eunuchs to carry Bai Hua back. Her pale face made Chu Yanzi very worried.
Bai Lu also knew about Chu Yanzi's situation, held back her tears and waited on the side.
When Chu Yanzi heard Li Guiren speak, his eyes moved. He opened his eyes and looked over there. However, his eyes saw Fu Yan's worried expression. He moved his heart and forced a smile at him. The light in his eyes no longer appeared, which was particularly pitying.
Chu Yanzi moved his fingers and suddenly remembered that Fu Yan might be used in this matter. After all, Fu Yan is Yan Lianyu's attending imperial physician. Thinking of this, Chu Yanzi's expression became more and more pitiful. Looking at the pity on Fu Yan's face, she opened her mouth and said silently, "Pin Yan"
Fu Yan saw Chu Yanzi's mouth shape clearly, and after thinking about it, he understood what she meant. His eyes were calm, and he nodded slightly to her. Seeing the smile on the corners of her eyes, Fu Yan's eyes narrowed and his heart felt slightly warm.
This is enough. As long as you are happy, I will do anything well.
Bai Lu looked at the movements of her little master and turned her body slightly to block the sight that others might be seeing. If others were to see the movements between her little master and the imperial physician, I still wonder what I would think.
Just when the outer hall was silent, the inner hall heard the sad and miserable cry of Yan Pin.
When Yan Ping woke up, she saw Emperor Yong sitting by the bed, and tears suddenly flowed out. This was not pretending, but she was really scared. She didn't expect that the miscarriage would hurt so much, and she almost thought she couldn't wake up.
"Your Majesty, I thought I could not wake up."
Emperor Yong calmed his expression and whispered, "It's okay."
Feeling the pain under her, Yan Concubine's face turned pale. She held Emperor Yong's hand and cried, "Emperor, is my child still here?"
Emperor Yong froze and patted her hand, "Your body is important."
Yan Pin was stunned. She couldn't say what she was feeling at this time. She had already decided, but at this time, she didn't feel at all relaxed, "Your Majesty, my child is gone!"
"No, no." Yan Ping shook her head, unable to believe it, and held Emperor Yong's hand, hoping that he would tell him that it was fake.
Emperor Yong looked at the grief on her face that seemed to be fake. Hearing her incredible cry, a hint of pain appeared on her face, shook her head, as if she could not speak.
Yan Lianyu expressed great satisfaction with the pain shown by the emperor, but Yan Lianyu did not forget her purpose. Her expression suddenly changed and she pulled Emperor Yong and said,
"I used to be very careful, but I was afraid that I would hurt the child in my abdomen. But... I slipped when I stepped on something and then fell down." Speaking of this, Yan thought of the pain of miscarriage, and shivered, and continued,
"Your Majesty, if you want to make the decision for your concubine, you must have someone deliberately harmed them, Your Majesty."
Yan Lianyu's voice was miserable, and the more she spoke, the more painful she felt. She bent down and cried.
Because she was lying down, she did not see the coldness in Emperor Yong's eyes. Emperor Yong looked at her coldly, but his tone was as gentle as water, "Don't worry, I will naturally make the decision for you."
When Emperor Yong walked out of the inner hall, it was already a stick of incense.
Seeing Emperor Yong come out, the queen stood up, glanced at the palace maid holding the broken beads, frowned, and hesitated to Emperor Yong,
"Emperor, the palace people found this in the Palace of Supreme Harmony. I have asked, the beads are from Concubine Bao."
When talking about Concubine Bao, the queen obviously paused for a moment, pursed her lips before continuing.
Listening to the queen's lag, Emperor Yong realized in his heart that even if he spoiled Yan Concubine so much, everyone would still be afraid of Lianyi and smiled bitterly in his heart. Then his actions were really redundant. He looked at the queen and didn't say anything. After sitting down, he looked at Bao Jieyu, with a deep look and a shallow voice.
"Concubine Bao Jie, what are you going to explain?"
Concubine Bao Jie got off the soft couch, Emperor Yong frowned slightly, but did not stop him. He walked to the center of the hall. Concubine Bao Jie stopped and owed her body.
"This bracelet belongs to me, but I don't know why it fell into the Hall of Supreme Harmony."
Li Guiren looked at the emperor coming out, thinking about the emperor's appearance of beloved Yan Pin, his eyes flashed and he laughed out loud and mocked, "Don't you know your bracelet? Could it be that someone else pulled it off your hand?"
Concubine Bao looked at Li Guiren coldly, as if she was watching a clown jumping, and she gave a sarcastic smile, "Who knows?"
"You!" Li Guiren was excited by her eyes and said angrily, "Even if Concubine Bao refuses, she still needs to find a better excuse. Who would believe this reason if you say it?"
"I believe it!"
As soon as this sentence was said, whether it was the majestic and calm queen, the gentle Concubine Shu, or the taciturn Concubine Yun, they were stunned, especially the Guiren Li who had just spoken, with a pale face and looked at Emperor Yong in disbelief.
"emperor?"
Looking at the various aspects of the crowd, Emperor Yong plucked the purse on his belt, raised his head, and repeated it.
"I said, I believe it! Can Concubine Li hear it clearly?"
Guiren Li was shocked and immediately fell to the ground, "Prince forgives the crime!"
Emperor Yong chuckled and said, "What's wrong with beloved concubine? Leave."
"Yes." Li Guiren blushed, shocked and frightened, lowered his head and slowly retreated.
Seeing that no one spoke again, Emperor Yong stopped his smile and looked at Concubine Bao who was slightly stunned. His eyes softened. He couldn't even think of why he had spoiled Concubine Yan at the beginning. He knew that she was a proud woman, right?
"Concubine Bao Jie is injured, get up."
"I thanked the emperor." After glanced at Emperor Yong, Concubine Bao didn't understand why he was doing this. She curled her eyes and said that Emperor Yong still liked her in her heart, she would never believe it.
He looked at the inner palace. Could it be for her? Concubine Bao’s eyes turned cold. She treated her as a target, and she also wanted to see if she was happy!
Emperor Yong would never have thought that when he used Concubine Yan as a target to protect Concubine Bao, Concubine Bao did not understand. Instead, when he thought it through and was ready to treat Concubine Bao well, Concubine Bao felt that he was using her as a target to protect Concubine Yan.
If Emperor Yong knew about Concubine Bao Jie's thoughts, he would not have been annoyed to death.
The queen watched Bao Jieyu stand up, paused, walked to the emperor, frowned briefly, feeling a little embarrassed, "Emperor, how should we continue to investigate this matter? Not only Yan's miscarriage, but also Zhen Shuyi..."
He looked at Chu Yanzi with heartache, and the queen reminded Emperor Yong in a vague way that your two beloved concubines were seriously injured. If you want to protect Concubine Bao, how can you explain to them? What's more, it's unfair to the whole palace servants, so what do you want others to think of you, the emperor?
The queen took a veil to cover the corner of her mouth, covered the sarcasm, and withdrew her gaze.
Emperor Yong naturally understood that he could not say that Mu Lianyi was innocent without evidence. He glanced at the beads and said to Bao Jieyu's maid Liuzhu,
"Think about it carefully, when did your master's bracelet fall off? Or who has ever contacted your master? If you can't even think of it, your master will be carrying this crime."
When Bao Jieyu heard these threatening words, she glanced at him. Liuzhu behind her heard Emperor Yong's words and recalled them carefully. This thought really made her come up with a detail.
After careful consideration, Liuzhu took a step forward carefully, "The emperor clearly understands that today the little master came to participate in the little prince's baptism. She met a little palace maid. She hurriedly passed by and happened to hit the little master. The little master Renhe tolerate and did not bother with the palace maid, so she released the palace maid."
Liuzhu was not as talkative as Liu Yu in the past, but she was always steady and meticulous. When she met the little master who was framed, she explained the causes and consequences clearly. The word "coincident" was used extremely subtlely.
Liuzhu glanced at Emperor Yong, and saw that her little master also remembered this incident. She continued,
"Just as soon as the little prince's baptism, I saw the palace maid serving his master looking familiar. When I think back, I realized that the palace maid and the one who bumped into his master in the morning were the same person."
Listening to Liu Zhu's words, Emperor Yong followed her thoughts and knew that although Bao Jieyu was straightforward, he was not a person who punished slaves at any time. He understood Liu Zhu's meaning and suspected that the palace maid had a problem.
Liuzhu kowtowed and gave a big gift, "I dared to ask the emperor to ask about the palace maid."
"Accurate."
Emperor Yong changed his posture and looked at Zhang Jin's forehead, signaling him to find the palace maid, and looked at the screen in front of Chu Yanzi with a pattern of mountains and flowing water embroidered with mountains and rivers.
Zhang Jin saw Emperor Yong's eyes, and somewhere else came from the tacit understanding. He didn't mistakenly think that Emperor Yong was looking at Chu Yanzi. He accurately saw the screen there, remembered the pattern on it, was a little surprised, nodded to Emperor Yong and took the order.
With the clue given by Liuzhu, Zhang Jin found the palace maid in less than a stick of incense. The palace maid was not very brave and was bribed by Yan Lianyu. Yan Lianyu promised that she would be safe from nothing, and that she would do this with the favor of Yan Ping.
When Zhang Jin found her, her face was pale. Before Zhang Jin could ask, she told the truth. Zhang Jin ignored her and said a few words to her. The palace maid looked a little surprised and suspicious, but nodded repeatedly.
Seeing that she remembered her words, Zhang Jincai led the people back to Yingfeng Hall.
"Go back to the emperor and brought him."
Next, the emperor was too lazy to ask about the confession of the palace maids, so he handed them all over the queen, and he only listened to the final result.
"I ask you, is it related to you that the miscarriage of Yan is related to you?"
Looking at the emperor's expression, he knew that he would not be able to manage this matter, so the queen had to take responsibility and investigate her by herself.
The palace maid knelt on the ground in panic. So many masters around her were looking at her. She was really nervous and scared. "When the Queen's words, I don't know that Yan Pin will have miscarriage."
This is the truth. She was just instructed by Yan Pin and destroyed a bracelet of Bao Jieyu. She had no idea about Yan Pin's miscarriage, otherwise she would not dare to do such a traitor.
I wonder if Yan Ping would miscarriage? That's what... the queen raised her eyebrows and then asked her, "Did you do the scattered bracelet of Bao Jieyu?"
The palace maid stammered and did not dare to speak, and finally said, "Emperor, Empress, Concubine Bao Jie's bracelet was destroyed by me, but I really don't know that this will have something to do with Concubine Yan's miscarriage! Please spare me! Please spare me!"
When Liuzhu heard the words of the palace maid, she gritted her teeth and said angrily, "You slave, my aunt is kind to let you go, but you are kind to repay your kindness and take it as a matter of being heartless! I'm gonna!"
The palace maid shivered and she was so scared that she burst into tears.
Liuzhu didn't have any sympathy at all, and she just wanted to peel off her skin. If the emperor hadn't believed the empress today, it was found out that the one who suffered great grievances was her empress. This dead slave deserved the crime.
Everyone ignored her venting anger, but some people frowned, but unexpectedly they were escaped by Concubine Bao.
The queen looked dark and didn't know what to think, so she continued to ask her, "Who instructed you?"
“Yes, yes…”
"emperor!"
Just when the palace maid was about to say it, she was suddenly interrupted. Yan Lianyu staggered from the inner hall and helped Xueling out. She glanced at the maid, and her face was still painful. Rouru and weak, and shouted in panic.
The palace maid saw Yan Lianyu's body trembled slightly, lowered her head, and did not dare to look at it again.
To be continued...
