Reborn Totalitarian Queen

Chapter 447 Who murdered the emperor's heir? (5)
"Are you still quibbling?" Empress Liu was furious, pointing at her and said, "You mean, the slaves in this house are domineering, and you still have to blame the prince for his lack of control? The prince is busy with official duties every day, and as you Wife, you don’t want to relieve him of his worries, but you can’t even take care of the little things in the backyard. If something goes wrong, you still need the prince to take care of it for you? Mrs. Liao, do you still know what your duty is?”

Of course Liao Qianhua knew that she was fully responsible for the affairs in the backyard, but this time it was about the emperor's heir, and she couldn't bear such a serious crime.

"Mother, the concubine is just talking about the matter, and does not dare to drag His Highness." Liao Qianhua gritted her teeth and said: "The concubine just thinks that the reasons given by this servant are reasonable, but a little thing the size of a sesame mung bean is really worth her ignoring the serious crime of implicating the nine clans." , take the risk of Jie'er, and in the end, just to count against a Yan family? The concubine has already said that the concubine is willing to bear the responsibility for the lack of control of the servants, but there are many doubts about this matter. The concubine begs the queen mother to continue After a detailed investigation, the real truth needs to be revealed."

Maybe Yan Yue really punished Le Zhu for not serving her carefully, but Liao Qianhua's suspicion is also well-founded.

Who doesn't know the dignity of Yin Jie's status, and just to avenge Yan Yue's few reprimands, take Yin Jie's risk?Unless this girl is crazy.

When Liao Qianhua blatantly talked back to her like this, Empress Liu became more and more unhappy.

But Liao Qianhua's words hit the point.

Empress Liu hesitated a little, and she saw a female official beside her walk in from outside, and said seriously: "Your Majesty, the slave has already checked, this girl Le Zhu is a slave, and now she has no parents or relatives alive."

In other words, this girl is the only one among the nine clans.

"What?" Liao Qianhua was surprised.

Song Chuxi watched them arguing for a long time from the sidelines, his mind was moved, and suddenly he glanced at Baoyin who was knelt behind Liao Qianhua anxiously.

Baoyin wanted to speak out for Yan Yue several times, but she was afraid that saying the wrong thing would backfire.In the whole room, the only person she could trust was Song Chuxi, so she always paid attention to her every move.

Seeing Song Chuxi looking over, she immediately became alert.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Song Chuxi naturally couldn't say anything, and only took advantage of the gap between his eyes to look at the tea, the hand holding the lid of the tea bowl, raised his little finger slightly, and pointed towards the opposite side.

Baoyin glanced over secretly, but saw that she was pointing in the direction of An Yiru who was standing at the door.

What does it mean?Let yourself testify against An Yiru?
It stands to reason that Song Chuxi is not from their prince's residence, even if it is An Yiru's hands and feet, she shouldn't know about it.But that woman is indeed not a good person.

Seeing the stalemate here, Baoyin couldn't help thinking too much, just gritted his teeth, kowtowed to Empress Liu who was in the head above him and said: "Empress Empress, slave—servant has something to say."

Liao Qianhua and Yan Yue had always been at odds, fearing that she would make trouble, she was startled, "You lowly maid—"

"Let her talk!" Empress Liu interrupted her in a cold voice.

Liao Qianhua was not reconciled, so she could only keep her mouth shut.

Baoyin fell on the ground with a slightly terrified expression and said: "Your Majesty, there are some things that are speculative, and the servants dare not speak casually, but it is related to the safety of the little highness. The servants are afraid and dare not hide. Six days ago, the servant had a stomachache that night. When he woke up in the middle of the night, he happened to see a sneaky figure slipping past Chengwei's courtyard. At that time, the servant didn't think much about it. Now that I think about it—something seems wrong.”

"What figure? Don't talk nonsense—" Liao Qianhua only thought that she was going to pour dirty water on her body.

"Shut up, Liao, are you so guilty that you can't wait for her to finish?" Empress Liu scolded, then turned to Baoyin and said, "Tell me, what time was that? What did you see?" people?"

"Five or six days ago, it seemed—it seemed—that's right, it was the eighth day of the lunar new year. That night, the palace came to report the funeral, saying that Concubine Jin had passed away, and Her Highness and Concubine Crown Princess were not there. It must be half past midnight. When a person passed by the door, although it was dark and the slaves couldn't see her face clearly, but that dress—it should be Li Yuxuan's autumn heart or autumn spirit." Baoyin pretended to recall carefully, Said slowly.

On the eighth day of the eighth day, she was not in the mansion.

Hearing this, Liao Qianhua suddenly felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.

On the other hand, An Yiru never thought that she would suddenly bite him, panicked, and looked up at Empress Liu in astonishment.

And the two girls beside her were even more chaotic, throwing themselves to the ground and screaming for grievances, "You're wronged, ma'am, you're wronged!"

Empress Liu's gaze shot directly at An Yiru like a knife.

If it was anyone she hated the most in this world, it would undoubtedly be An Yiru who always held Yin Shao back.

An Yiru also knew this, and hated Baoyin's nonsense in her heart, but still quickly knelt down and said in panic: "Mother, this is a nonsense, you know that these days, the concubine's health is not good, They all recuperate in Liyuxuan without leaving home, and my girl also follows me every step of the way. Baoyin must have misjudged the person, my girl, it is absolutely impossible to go out in the middle of the night."

"Your Majesty, we all live in this backyard. The servants will meet An Liangdi's two maids in the kitchen almost every day, and they will never be mistaken." Baoyin said, with a firm tone and a firm tone, "The servants If you dare to risk your life, the person you saw that night is definitely one of the two maidservants beside An Liangdi."

Around An Yiru, these two girls are the only confidantes, if she really wants to send some secret errands, it can only be done by these two girls.

Although Baoyin didn't understand why Song Chuxi hinted that she was biting An Yiru, or how successful it would be to bring down An Yiru, but she had no regrets and insisted on biting her.

"You—" An Yiru was in a hurry, her eyes blushed, and she turned to Yin Shao and said, "Your Highness, my concubine and Yan Chengwei are both good-natured, but now her girl is biting like this, what is it?" Why do you care?"

"Your servant is just telling the truth." Baoyin said, neither humble nor overbearing.

"You didn't hold Qiu Xin and me's wrists, isn't that grabbing or biting?" Qiu Yi said angrily.

The two sides insisted on their own words and could not stop arguing.

Duanmuqi took a look at Song Chuxi, seeing that she was only drinking tea with her eyes downcast, and she didn't know what she was thinking, so she smiled and said, "His Royal Highness, now you two concubines are arguing with each other. , is this useful? Instead of wasting time here listening to their unfounded slobbering lawsuits—it is said that the drug that your empress Chengwei was given is also unusual, so you don’t wonder where the drug came from Is it possible that this girl still has the ability to make medicines by herself?"

His gaze swept over, and he was clearly a charming appearance, but Le Zhu's heart trembled.

Yin Shao's eyes moved over.

Feng Yuhe took a step forward and said: "This subordinate has already asked someone to verify that within this month, this girl has not left the mansion, and no outsiders have come to see her."

This poison is not something that can be obtained casually.

Le Zhu was in a panic.

Empress Liu had already reprimanded: "Then go and investigate. Is there any suspicion that this girl hasn't left the house? After all, she will find someone who is suspected and has evidence, right?"

Just as Feng Yuhe was about to take the order to go, Wei Heng, who had been following Yin Zhan, suddenly said, "Perhaps Steward Feng doesn't need to be so troublesome."

The crowd followed the sound.

Yin Zhan's expression was indifferent, he just sipped his tea with downcast eyes.

Wei Heng took a step forward and said: "On the second day of the Lunar New Year, my subordinates went to Nankang Princess Mansion to deliver New Year's gifts for my lord, just in time to see a carriage entering the street in the back alley of the Princess Mansion, and—— Those who got out of the car were still from the mansion of His Highness the Crown Prince. Moreover, yesterday in the Imperial Garden, I heard that the nanny next to Her Majesty accidentally mentioned that it was a pharmacy in the back alley of her. The old doctor suddenly disappeared, and the pharmacy was also in the first month. It's closed."

An Yiru, who was kneeling there, suddenly trembled uncontrollably, and a voice roared in fear——

Could it be that her secret is going to be lost?
And Liao Qianhua caught a glimpse of her expression by accident, and suddenly seemed to realize something, she slowly raised her gaze inch by inch, and looked at Yin Shao who was sitting in a chair drinking tea safely, at that moment, her heart was even stronger. It was inexplicably cold to the end.
