Chapter 26 Framing Affair
"How dare you, a little Baolin, dare to search Qingning Palace?"

Guo Jieyu spoke righteously at the moment, as if defending the queen's cronies.

"Looking at this girl, she should be a young lady from the Fu family. She shouldn't be lacking a few pieces of jewelry, right?"

"That's not necessarily true. After all, it is an object in the palace. If this girl is really serious,"

"Then this girl can't clear her suspicions."

"Why don't we ask a few female officers to see where this girl lives."

"But this girl lives in Qingning Palace, how can she search for the queen?"

"Unless this girl can prove her innocence."

Guo Jieyu's next concubine pushed Yiman to the middle of the stage as soon as she said a word, and everyone was waiting for her to prove herself.

Yiman glanced around at the concubines who were watching the fun, and asked: "Why should I prove myself? Just because of a little Baolin, a red mouth and white teeth, I become a suspect? There is no such reason."

"But, girl, you have no rank now, someone did see you holding Du Baolin's—"

"presumptuous."

Yiman glanced at Zheng Baolin, and the cold light in her eyes made her shrink her neck.This cold shout also stopped the muttering concubines in the palace, and they all looked at Yiman.

I just feel that this girl is not angry and has a natural aura, which is not like what ordinary boudoir girls can cultivate.

Yiman rested his head on his hands, as if he was thinking about something, and said slowly, "Speaking of which, I saw a Habayashi guard running out of Du Baolin's palace in disheveled clothes two days ago."

"what--"

Aunt Gao held down the surprised queen and watched quietly.

"You're talking nonsense—"

Seeing all the concubines whispering, Du Baolin was furious and roared angrily.

Yiman smiled slightly, "How do you know I'm talking nonsense?"

"Except for going to Gardenia Garden these days, you haven't left Qingning Palace. My place is so far away from here. You are lying!"

Yiman said calmly: "Surveillance in the palace is another crime. Aunt Gao, take note."

"Yes."

Yiman suddenly seemed to react and looked at Du Baolin doubtfully, "Since I haven't left Qingning Palace, how can I go to your palace to steal?"

"you--"

Du Baolin became frightened at this time. Either it proved that the woman sitting calmly in front of him had never left Qingning Palace, and the theft was falsely accused by him.Either he bit her to death and it was true that he was stealing, but in this case, she couldn't refute her nonsense about her being a filthy and filthy person.

Du Baolin was sweating profusely, "You stole it some time ago."

The concubines all understood the farce as they watched Du Baolin speak indiscriminately and then change his words about the time.

Ji Chongrong slowly stood up and said, "This girl, it is a serious crime to defile the palace. If there is no evidence, it is better not to lie. The Queen, I think it is best to report this matter to His Majesty."

Ji Chongrong came from a literary master in the south of the Yangtze River. With his status as a noble family in the south of the Yangtze River, he became one of the nine concubines and gained some prestige in the palace.

Yiman took a look at her face and clothing, "Don't worry about filling your face, I've sent someone to Zichen Palace to invite you."

Ji Chongrong hesitated for a moment, "Dare I ask the girl -"

Before Ji Chongrong finished speaking, he saw Song Guo running in from outside, nodded, and stood behind Yi Man.

He just asked Song Guo to pick up a crowded place along the way, shouting at Du Baolin to frame the princess for stealing the gold hairpin, and went to the Zichen Palace to invite the emperor in a hurry.

Even if the emperor arranges manpower in Qingning Palace, even if it is faster than Song Guo, it will only be done in the dark.By the time the emperor reacted and wanted to block Song Guo's mouth, Song Guo had already returned.

Since the emperor still refuses to let the people in the palace know the fact of his existence, he might as well do it himself.

"The Emperor is here—"

Everyone got up to worship, the emperor's face was ugly, but he couldn't see anything after entering.He just took a deep look at her when he passed by, and sat in the seat vacated by the queen.

Du Baolin seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and with tears streaming down his face, he knelt and walked towards the emperor's knees.

"Your Majesty, you are finally here. If you don't come again, I will hit my head on this pillar and die. I will die to make my determination clear."

Du Baolin thought that he was weak and helpless at this moment, but he didn't know that after the pulling and crying just now, even his hair was a lot looser, not to mention the makeup on his face.

His current appearance does not arouse any sympathy, but rather makes him look disgusted.

The emperor frowned, "Get up first and walk on your knees, but do you still care about your own face?"

Du Baolin lowered his head slightly, with an aggrieved look on his face, "If the emperor doesn't help me make the decision, I won't get up."

At this moment, Du Baolin only remembered that the emperor doted on her, so he would stand by her side, completely ignoring the emperor's intentions.

The emperor valued face and reputation the most, and he asked her to get up, not only because she felt sorry for her, but also because she was his favorite concubine. Wouldn't it embarrass the emperor even more to play childish temper on the ground and threaten in public.

After everyone sat down, Yi Man stood up and bowed respectfully in front of the emperor and empress.

"The sons and ministers see the father, long live the father, long live the father."

Yiman thought of this method when he saw Du Baolin framed him. He would kill first and then report, so that everyone in the palace would know his existence first.There are tens of thousands of people in the palace, and it is impossible for the emperor to silence everyone at once, let alone admit it personally.Once there is time for fermentation, it will be a matter of time before the government and the public know about it. At that time, the emperor will have to canonize it as soon as possible.

Yiman knew that he was forcing the emperor, so he bowed respectfully and obediently, knelt on the ground and waited for him to get up.

"what--"

"Father?"

"Why has the concubine never seen this princess before?"

"emperor?"

The queen couldn't bear to keep Yiman kneeling, and raised her hand gently, "Yiman, get up quickly."

Yiman glanced at the emperor and lowered his eyes.

Seeing the concubines muttering in low voices, the emperor ignored it and happened to see Xirui being dragged back, "What's going on?"

Yiman had already prepared his words in his heart, "Back to my father, this Baolin said that the son went to her palace to steal a box of gold hairpins, and there was the palace maid Xirui to prove it. The son just happened to pay his respects to his mother, and he hasn't left yet. If she is far away, come out and confront her.”

This was said without bias, and everyone present nodded in agreement.

Xirui who was dragged back was already frightened, but now being stared at by everyone, she suddenly felt like a light was on her back, she just knelt down and kowtowed in a daze.

Although the emperor knew that Yiman was lost among the people, but judging from her behavior and vision, she would not pay attention to a box of gold hairpins, which must be strange.

"My maid, please speak carefully."

Xirui raised her head slowly, looking at Du Baolin who was frozen in front of her, she didn't dare to speak for a while.

Seeing the hesitant behavior of the palace maid, the emperor was even more annoyed by the trivial matters in the harem and glanced at Eunuch Fu.

Eunuch Fu nodded, walked in front of Xirui, without raising his eyelids, said stiffly: "Don't say anything, I'll go to the prison and go through all five punishments."

Xirui knocked her head violently, snot and tears were mixed together, "Your Majesty, please forgive me, Your Majesty, please forgive me, I didn't see it, I didn't see it."

"Who ordered you to say that?"
