The eldest lady has no taboos in what she does

Chapter 50 Seeing is not necessarily believing

"My Lady, Dongzhu was still in the box when you first returned to the main hall."

When the queen came back with her people, the palace maid opened the box and checked it again. Dongzhu was in the box at that time.

"That is to say, someone stole the Dongzhu before everyone returned to the main hall and sat down."

Because of the large number of people, many people wanted to take this opportunity to stand out in front of the queen, so after they came back, they all looked for opportunities to talk to the queen. It was quite chaotic for about a quarter of an hour.

The queen agreed with this guess.

Princess Xiangyang continued: "I didn't see anyone leave the palace just now. If the Dongzhu was stolen by someone in the palace, then the Dongzhu must still be on her body. The empress can search her body and find the thief."

As she spoke, she stood in the center of the hall and opened her hands generously.

"To show my innocence, I am willing to be the first to be searched."

The queen was still hesitant at first. After all, many of the people present were family members of high-ranking officials, and she didn't want to offend anyone because of a dong bead.

But Princess Xiangyang came out first and set a good example. If she agrees to be searched again, she will not be the one who offends others.

"it is good."

After getting the queen's permission, the two maids walked up to Princess Xiangyang and started to search her body.

There are not many places to hide things in the thin dress, and the Dongzhu is relatively large, so it can be touched with just one touch.

The maid did not find anything strange in Princess Xiangyang.

The queen nodded slightly.

When Princess Xiangyang returned to her seat and sat down, she glanced at Gu Mengyin provocatively.

Gu Mengyin raised her eyebrows. She felt that she had been beaten lightly just now, otherwise how could she dare to be so arrogant.

After Princess Xiangyang sat down, ladies and ladies who wanted to be conspicuous also stood up one after another to express their innocence.

The palace maids checked one by one and found nothing abnormal.

Soon, it was Gu Mengyin's turn.

Zhao and Zhang stood up with Gu Qingqing and Gu Qingying, and Gu Mengyin also stood up.

Princess Xiangyang looked at Gu Mengyin and smiled coldly.

The palace maid came forward to check on Mrs. Zhao and Ms. Zhang. After the inspection, she came to Gu Qingqing.

Facing so many people for the first time, Gu Qingqing was so nervous that her face turned pale, and her hands were shaking when the palace maid asked her to raise her hands.

The palace maid was a little confused, but her expression soon changed.

She put her hand into Gu Qingqing's sleeve pocket and took it out, and soon took out a Dongzhu as big as a fist.

"found it."

The palace maid took Dongzhu to the queen and said, "My queen, I found Dongzhu."

Gu Qingqing's face turned pale with fear. She couldn't understand why Dong Zhu appeared on her body.

"No, no, it's not me. I didn't steal it. Madam, I didn't steal Dongzhu. Please look at it clearly."

The queen's eyebrows darkened, "You didn't steal it, so why did Dongzhu appear on your body?"

Mrs. Zhao and others were also frightened so much that they went to the queen to beg for mercy.

"My Majesty, I know very well that my daughter has always been honest and will never do such a thing."

"Yes, ma'am."

"The Dongzhu who stole it from the empress wants to deny it. You say she didn't steal it. Are so many of our eyes blind?"

The queen's face darkened, "Which family are you from?"

Zhao said: "Go back to my wife, my husband is Gu Ming'an."

Hearing this, the queen frowned, as if she was thinking about who this Gu Ming'an was. Not to mention the queen, even the eldest maid next to her didn't know.

"Your Majesty, my husband is an errand in the Jingzhao Yin Mansion."

In the Jingzhao Yin Mansion, the queen only knows Mr. Jingzhao Yin Li. "What did you do?"

"Official, official."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a lot of laughter in the hall.

"How did you sneak into the Hundred Flowers Banquet?" The Empress was angry, even more angry than she was when she lost Dongzhu. The Hundred Flowers Banquet was also a banquet where she and the prince selected candidates for the backyard. She would never allow low-status people to appear.

"No wonder. With such a status, he must have never seen anything good. In addition, his upbringing is not strict, so it is not surprising that he would do such sneaky things."

"That's right, the empress was so cheerful that she was beaten by these people for nothing. She really deserves a beating."

"Come here, bring this person to me."

"and many more."

Gu Mengyin stood in front of Zhao and protected them behind her.

The queen's eyes fell sharply on Gu Mengyin, knowing that she had some relationship with Prince Ling.

"What do you want to say?"

"My dear, sometimes what you see may not necessarily be what you believe."

Before the Queen could speak, the Princess of Xiangyang sneered: "What Miss Gu means is that the Queen has wronged her?"

"Yes."

"Presumptuous!" The queen's face became even more angry.

"Don't worry, my dear. Since I dare to say this, I can naturally prove her innocence."

The queen's eyes tightened, "I want to see how you are going to prove her innocence."

Gu Mengyin's eyes swept around everyone, and finally settled on Princess Xiangyang, and then walked up to her.

Princess Xiangyang subconsciously took a step back.

Gu Mengyin picked up the jug, poured a glass of wine, raised it to her and said, "This is a glass of truth wine. After drinking it, you can only tell the truth. Does the princess dare to drink it?"

Princess Xiangyang stared at the wine glass with gloomy eyes and said angrily: "How do I know you put anything unclean in it?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Mengyin drank the wine in the glass and poured another glass from a clean glass.

"The princess doesn't dare to drink. Isn't it because she is afraid that she will say something she shouldn't say?"

Princess Xiangyang's face turned darker. She stared at the drink and gritted her teeth: "It's just because of the wine. I am afraid of you!"

After saying that, she grabbed the wine glass and drank it in one gulp.

Gu Mengyin suddenly glanced behind her.

Princess Xiangyang frowned and said, "What are you looking at?"

Gu Mengyin smiled and said, "I think there seems to be someone behind you."

Princess Xiangyang turned around subconsciously, and there were indeed two maids standing behind her.

She widened her eyes in annoyance, "I have drank the wine now, so feel free to ask."

"Oh, that Dongzhu was stolen by the princess, right?"

Princess Xiangyang sneered, "Are you kidding me? That's obviously... yes, it was taken by me!"

Princess Xiangyang's eyes widened in shock, and she opened her mouth again, "No, then... what can you do if I take it? It was found on your sister, and you will have to die together with your sister!"

Princess Xiangyang quickly covered her mouth. Those words were obviously not what she wanted to say, but she didn't know why she opened her mouth and said it!
Gu Mengyin looked astonished, "Oh, it turns out that the princess stole Dongzhu."

"You, you shut up!"

Gu Mengyin looked at the queen and said, "Look, my dear, what you see can be fake."

The queen's face could be described as livid. Princess Xiangyang would not be kind enough to shoulder this crime for someone else.

Then there is only one possibility, she took the thing!
"Come here, give her to this palace and take down the thirty major tasks."
