As expected, a few days after Handsome Fairness Mei was forced into Cen Qing Palace, there were actually people who came out to fight for justice for her. What everyone never expected was that this person was actually Ru Jie Yu! Ever since Handsome Fairness Mei had a miscarriage, everyone in the Palace believed that Handsome Fairness Mei and Handsome Fairness Ru had a grudge against each other. Although there were later rumors that Handsome Fairness Ru had gone to Yulin Palace to invite Handsome Fairness Mei several times, everyone always felt that this was a conspiracy in the dark. Unexpectedly, at this moment, Ru Jieyu would stand up to defend her. This news immediately spread throughout the palace.
Nangong Hao, who had originally intended to settle the matter peacefully, had no choice but to stand up and " uphold justice " again. The court was set up in Yulin Palace, and it was proposed by Ru Jie Yu, saying that it was to return justice to Sister Mei.
The harem once again turned from a state of panic to a lively atmosphere. Other than the high-ranking concubines such as Concubine Zhen and Concubine Zhuang, even some of the young masters of Ye Ting Palace were invited to witness this trial. It seemed like this Ru Jie Yu was deliberately trying to blow things up.
On this day, Nangong Hao was sitting in the court with dignity. Consort Zhen and Mu Zhaoyi were sitting beside him. Concubine Zhuang sat down. Bai Fengqing was also present, but the two of them did not seem to know each other at all. Luo Ya followed behind Zhuang Fei and could not help but gasp. He was so good at acting. If she did not know about it beforehand, she would not have guessed it, let alone the Emperor.
At this moment, Yulin Palace had once again become the center of attention.
Other than the so-called truth that Jie Yu had mentioned, the ten or so young masters with delicate and pretty appearances were more concerned about the Emperor Nangong Hao's true appearance and whether he could become the new favorite of the Emperor with his looks. They naturally didn't hope that Handsome Fairness Ru could really clear Handsome Fairness Mei's name, but rather hoped that Handsome Fairness Mei was truly having an affair. This way, not only would they have one less opponent, but they would also have one more opportunity.
Luo Ya looked at the various masters indifferently. Although their faces were filled with expressions like " I'm looking forward to it " and " I really hope that Sister Mei can clear her name ", they were probably wondering when they could become the new master of Yulin Palace.
In the main hall, Concubine Zhen was caressing her delicate hand while smiling at Nangong Hao. Mu Zhaoyi was rubbing her belly, deep in thought. The funniest thing was that Beauty Lin. He was sitting in the lower seat, but he still had an arrogant look on his face, as if he had a lot of capital to be arrogant.
Concubine Zhuang naturally smiled calmly, believing that the truth was already in her heart. Regardless of whether she was an outsider or a clear mind, as a transmigrator, Luo Ya had to admire Consort Zhuang's intelligence.
"Emperor, sister Mei was wronged!”Ru Jie Yu suddenly knelt down in the middle of the hall, and the voices of the women also quieted down following Ru Jie Yu's words. Nangong Hao's gaze was completely focused on Ru Jieyu. However, for some reason, Luo Ya felt that there was a murderous intent rushing towards her from his eyes.
His heart couldn't help but clench. Was he really going to kill him to resolve his worries? Even though he was only guessing about the various things in Cui Mei Palace and had not been verified, was he going to die just because of this?
She didn't stay idle for long, but she still pricked up her ears to listen to every word.
Nangong Hao smiled to himself. Bai Fengqing exchanged glances with him."Yao 'er, this zhen is truly touched by your actions. I believe that if Handsome Fairness Mei knew, she would also be moved.”Hearing Nangong Hao call her by her maiden name, and even using such a gentle voice, her face immediately flushed red. After he got up, his happy expression immediately appeared. When the surrounding women saw this, they were either intoxicated or jealous.
However, Ru Jie Yu did not celebrate for long before she was frightened by Nangong Hao's other words and knelt down again."So, Yao 'Er, are you doubting my judgment?”
Looking at Ru Jie Yu kneeling on the ground again, all the women were delighted. They heard Ru Jie Yu immediately say,"Emperor, ChenQie did not intentionally doubt your ability to solve cases. But…Sister Mei was indeed wronged! "Yao 'er really can't bear to…" At this point, Ru Jieyu actually lowered her head to wipe away her tears. Her beautiful oval face also turned red from excitement.
However, from Roya's point of view, it was probably because she was shy just now.
At this moment, Consort Zhen spoke,""Oh? If Younger Sister kept saying that Younger Sister Mei was wronged, then where exactly was she wronged?”
Inadvertently, she lowered her head and cried like a beautiful lady, but the corners of her lips curled up into a smug smile. This smile was fleeting and did not let anyone notice.
"Emperor is wise, everything will be clear after ChenQie presents the witness!”These words were said very confidently. Ru Jie turned around and said to the guards outside the palace door," Bring her up!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a maidservant in light blue palace robes was escorted up by two burly guards. She looked at everyone in the hall with trepidation. In the end, her gaze stopped at a certain spot in the hall, but she deliberately avoided it. This caused everyone present to look at the servant girl. In the end, the person the servant girl was looking at was actually Consort Zhen!
Consort Zhen was embarrassed and suspicious by everyone's gaze. Although she did not know the meaning of the servant girl's gaze, her intuition told her that it was not a good thing.
"Hurry up and confess all your evil deeds!”Her voice was sharp, without the slightest trace of the delicate beauty from before.
The maidservant was frightened and fell to the ground. She looked at everyone in the hall timidly and said slowly after a long time,"This servant deserves to die! This servant shouldn't be greedy for a moment of glory and wealth and be blinded by benefits. In the end, Master was wronged…"
Although they knew that there was an inside story behind this matter, based on the words of this palace maid, it seemed that she had done it alone. Everyone seemed to be very dissatisfied with this result.
Ru Jie Yu also seemed to be very dissatisfied with the words of this palace maid. She sneered,"What? You have the guts to do these things, but you don't have the guts to admit it?”These words had a double meaning, causing the women who had lost interest to suddenly become interested again. Loya sighed. She felt that the palace was like the Colosseum of ancient Rome. No one would be satisfied without seeing blood.
Nangong Hao, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly opened his mouth at this time."Then tell me, what disgraceful things have you done?”His voice was still as gentle as water, as if he was just saying something about the weather being clear today.
Ru Jieyu narrowed her eyes and suddenly said coldly,""Alright, since you won't say it, then I'll say it for you!”Then, she faced Nangong Hao and said in an extremely serious tone," It's her! He had secretly mixed Five Stones Powder into the incense that Handsome Fairness Mei had used to dye her clothes! Thus, Handsome Fairness Mei, who wore those clothes, suffered from the torture of Five Stones Powder day and night, causing her consciousness to become blurry and depressed. These could all be verified by finding Handsome Fairness Mei's clothes!”As Jie Yu said this, it successfully aroused the interest of the women.
Nangong Hao also cooperated,"How dare you, servant girl! Murdering your master without permission is a capital crime!”Seeing that the Emperor was furious, the palace maid immediately bowed and begged,"This servant, this servant knows her mistake…Please show mercy to the emperor. Just take it that this servant is brave enough to admit it and forgive this servant's family!”
Hearing the palace maid's words, Roya felt that something was wrong.
But Ru Jieyu still said coldly,""Not only that, when ChenQie investigated all of this, she was still suspicious. How could a small palace maid dare to offend her superiors!”At this point, all the women could not help but squint their curious and gloating eyes. It seemed that what was going to happen next was the main point of today." But that day, I saw this reckless slut showing off the expensive jewelry of the master in the palace to the servants!”
How could a slave have such expensive jewelry? Other than being rewarded by his master, the rest could be imagined.
It seemed that Concubine Zhuang's analysis was correct. This Handsome Fairness Ru had never been on good terms with Handsome Fairness Mei, but this time, she was so proactive in helping her "wash away her grievances". There must be something behind this.
When the maidservant heard Ru Jie Yu say this, a pained expression immediately appeared on her face, as if she was struggling in her heart. She closed her eyes, and with a trembling hand, she took out a hairpin with a black butterfly in it. Putting aside the novel and unique design of this hairpin, just its material and texture alone could not be owned by a palace maid.
"Spare me, Your Majesty, spare me…This servant, this servant really didn't mean it!”As she kowtowed to the masters, she cried.
Nangong Hao was a little irritated. He ordered casually,"If that's the case, then pass on my order to take this servant girl away and behead her. As for her family…"
"No, Emperor!" Before Nangong Hao could finish his words, the servant girl's voice suddenly resounded throughout the hall, scaring everyone." Your Majesty…I still have an elderly grandmother and a critically ill mother at home. This servant, this servant deserves to die! But please spare this servant's family!”She begged, but it didn't seem to have any effect.
At this moment, the palace maid gripped the hairpin tightly and looked up at Consort Zhen who was sitting high up!
Everyone was shocked, and Consort Zhen was even more surprised!
She recognized that hairpin. It was made by her Life Palace and was prepared to be enjoyed at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet. Unexpectedly, the hairpin had disappeared without a trace. She couldn't find it even after searching everywhere! Today, it had actually reappeared in this hall.
Ever since she saw that hairpin, Consort Zhen's heart had started beating rapidly. An uneasy heart seemed to jump out of her throat! She looked coldly at the smug Ru Jieyu. She had really been wronged in this situation!
"Consort Zhen…please plead with the emperor. This servant deserves to die, but this servant's family cannot be implicated because of this servant!”As she spoke, she crawled to Consort Zhen's feet, and the smiles on everyone's faces deepened.
Consort Zhen's face twitched violently, and her calm face instantly turned pale! However, she still angrily said to the maid,"Why did you steal my hairpin!"
Unexpectedly, the maidservant cried even harder."Niangniang, you said that you would ensure this servant's safety. This servant, this servant would listen to Niangniang and boldly tamper with Mei Jie Yu's incense! Also, about that guard, Empress, don't be so heartless as to push it away completely!”When she said this, a smile finally appeared on her beautiful face.
"In the beginning, when I saw the hairpin in this maidservant's hand, I thought she was stealing from the palace!”" But I didn't expect that under my careful questioning, this maidservant would finally tell me the whole truth. Sister Zhen's move was really vicious.”
Consort Zhen was anxious. There were witnesses and material evidence, so she had nothing to say. He immediately knelt in front of Nangong Hao and said,""Emperor is wise, this matter has nothing to do with ChenQie. The hairpin in this servant girl's hand is indeed ChenQie's, but not long ago, this hairpin disappeared without a trace. Beauty Lin can testify!”
" Aiya, Elder Sister Zhen." Ru Jie Yu's voice became even more innocent." Beauty Lin is Elder Sister Zhen's clan sister, so of course she'll protect you.”After hearing what Jie Yu said, Beauty Lin, who was about to speak, swallowed her words. He probably thought that it would be bad if he was also involved.
Because of this, Consort Zhen looked at Beauty Lin with a venomous gaze, and Beauty Lin shivered because of that gaze.
Nangong Hao finally spoke,"You'd better tell the truth clearly. If there's even the slightest bit of falsehood, Zhen will not let you off easily."”
This sentence seemed to be said to the palace maid, but also seemed to be said to Ru Jie Yu.
