Chapter 78(2/2)
The two imperial guards on the side quickly confessed, "This jade pendant is not a man from Huyi. Huyi has a similar jade pendant, which is on his subordinates." As he said that, he took down the jade pendant at his waist and presented it to Zhang Jin for a look. Zhang Jin carefully identified it and nodded to Emperor Yong.
Another imperial guard also spoke, "Go back to the emperor, Bei Zhi has a jade pendant of similar shape, but it is a glass type. Bei Zhi just got engaged a month ago and was given to the daughter of the Shangshu Mansion by Bei Zhi. This jade pendant..." In the end, the imperial guard did not continue to say it, and everyone knew what he meant. It was obvious that the jade pendant had much worse texture. He was an imperial guard with a good family background. The daughter of the Shangshu Mansion had just gotten engaged. With his identity, it was indeed unlikely that he would use a jade pendant of this texture.
Emperor Yong nodded to him. He was the youngest son of the Degong Mansion. He asked for this job because he could not inherit the Duke Mansion. What's more, the close minister of the imperial guards, but many people wanted to be positions that had no way to come in.
Now, only the imperial guard in the middle was left to speak. Emperor Yong waved his hand to signal the two people to go down. The two looked at each other, looked at the person in the middle, and bowed and retreated.
Emperor Yong put the jade pendant in his hand and played with it. He looked at the person in front of him, "Is this jade pendant yours?"
The man looked up and saw sweat dripping on his face. He was upset. As an imperial guard, his life experience would naturally not be very bad. This jade pendant was given to him by Hongyu. He knew that he had been pulled into the harem and was a little scared. If he was found to have an affair with the palace maid, not to mention that his official position could not be guaranteed, any serious girl would be willing to marry him in the future. Why would he get along with Hongyu for a moment?
"Return to the emperor, it is indeed a humble position."
Emperor Yong narrowed his eyes and looked at his nervous expression, "So, are you also by the lake today? Have you also seen the scene of Li Guiren being killed?"
The Imperial Guard's face was a little pale, and he didn't know how to reply, "Go back to the emperor, yes, I passed by the lake today." At that time, the master just told them not to say her, but did not say anything else, so he didn't know what Hongyu said.
Seeing that he avoided the important things, Emperor Yong raised his eyebrows, "I ask again, have you seen the murder of Guiren Li?"
Hongyu, who was kneeling on the side, looked pale and wanted to give him a reminder, but was afraid of being discovered. Similarly, the Imperial Guard did not dare to look at Hongyu, for fear that someone would find out what was there between them.
"I'm not sure, I'm not sure."
"Oh? Then do you see who harmed Concubine Li?" Emperor Yong looked at him and wanted to know who harmed Concubine Li. Since he decided to investigate, he naturally had to find out the truth.
The Imperial Guard swallowed, and also looked at the concubine standing beside him. Seeing that the man's eyes were facing, who was behind him? It seemed... Yanpin, the Imperial Guard's heart tightened and calmed down, "Back to the emperor, yes, it's Yanpin's master!"
After saying that, he lowered his head guiltily, not daring to look at the emperor's face, nor did he see Hongyu's face suddenly become miserable.
Hey, there were disagreements? Chu Yanzi was surprised. Didn’t they discuss it in advance? They just wanted to take the murderer out, but they didn’t have a unified voice. Chu Yanzi smiled slightly, and it was fleeting, watching this good show.
Yanpin laughed anxiously at this time, "I was in Bao Zhaoyi's tent at that time. I don't know where you got the ability to do it. You can see that I pushed Guiren Li into the water! It's really amazing!"
After being sarcastic by Yanpin, the Imperial Guard did not dare to refute. He was guilty and looked up slightly at Hongyu next to him, but saw a pale face. He knew that he was wrong. He turned his head slightly and saw that there was a maid behind him. It was the maid Hongyu met when she was back. It seemed that she was the maid Li Guiren's maid. The Imperial Guard's face suddenly pale.
"Swish, you two actually saw two different people pushing Li Guiren into the water at the same time. Why? Can Li Guiren still have the skills to do it?"
The two of them trembled all over, lowered their heads but couldn't organize their language and stammered and couldn't speak.
Emperor Yong's face suddenly changed, he stood up and kicked the imperial guard to the ground, "As a close minister of the emperor, he actually got involved in the things in the harem. What? Isn't telling the truth yet!"
The Imperial Guard was kicked down by Emperor Yong. His shoulders were hurt severely, but he did not dare to cry out for pain. Hongyu, who was beside him, saw cold sweat on his forehead, and heartache flashed in his eyes, trying to restrain his urge to go over and see him.
The Imperial Guard's face turned dark when he heard Emperor Yong's words. He knew that his future had been destroyed and he was quite desperate, but he also knew that he could not lie anymore. Otherwise, if the family behind him was involved and the official positions of other people in the family were hindered, then he deserved to die.
Chu Yanzi looked at the heartache in Hongyu's eyes and laughed in her heart. For a man, she ignored the master she had served for many years, let alone thought about what her family should do after this matter. After all, she was brought in by Yanpin from outside the palace. The people in her family must have been engaged in Yanpin's home. She is really ungrateful.
After turning his eyes, he glanced at the sachet faintly exposed on the imperial guards. Chu Yanzi paused and pulled Emperor Layong's sleeve. Seeing Emperor Yong look at her in confusion, she hesitated slightly, "The sachet on this adult's body seems to look familiar?"
It’s not that the sachets look familiar, but the fabric used for sachets looks familiar. Although some of the fabrics are not expensive, they are only available in the palace. On weekdays, they often use this fabric to make purses and sachets. She has seen a lot of them, so she remembers some of them.
After hearing Chu Yanzi's words, Emperor Yong also looked at the sachet faintly exposed on the imperial guard's chest. He naturally understood what she meant by familiarity. He looked at Zhang Jin, raised his head to Zhang Jin, and signaled him to come over the sachet.
When the Imperial Guard heard Chu Yanzi's words, his face had changed. When he saw Zhang Jin coming, he did not dare to resist and handed over the sachet honestly.
Zhang Jin took the sachet, looked carefully, then glanced at the pale imperial guards. Unexpectedly, this kid had a happy life, "Back to the emperor, the fabric of this sachet is broken cloud brocade, a kind of fabric unique to the palace. On weekdays, he was given to the capable slaves around him by the harem master."
Chu Yanzi suddenly realized something on his face and nodded, "So that's it. I said why do I think the fabric of this sachet looks so familiar? I only gave a gift to the palace servant when I went to the two Japanese palaces."
Emperor Yong looked at the pale faces of the imperial guards and Hongyu, and what else was there to understand, "Who gave you this sachet? You are very brave when you have an affair with the palace servant!"
Logically speaking, the women in this harem are all the emperor's women. The Imperial Guard had an affair with the palace maid, which was like the woman who had slept with the emperor. Even if Emperor Yong looked down on the maid Hongyu, how could he not be angry?
The Imperial Guard quickly got up and kowtowed repeatedly, "Your Majesty forgives you! Your Majesty forgives you! You will never dare to do anything again! You are wrong in your knowledge!"
Zhang Jin, who was beside him, found a word "jade" under the sachet, "Your Majesty, look..."
Seeing the words on the sachet, Emperor Yong sneered, "You are really brave. Not only do you have an affair, but you even dare to slander others."
Now Hongyu didn't dare to pretend to be a quarrel, and kowtowed while drinking the imperial guards, "Emperor, I know that I am wrong, it's all my fault! It's all my fault! Please forgive me!"
Yanpin didn't expect that Hongyu betrayed her because of such a man who turned his head in disgust and completely disappeared for Hongye's master and servant.
The two of them had an affair with each other, naturally, but Emperor Yong slowed down his anger, "Who was pushing Li Guiren into the water? Don't you tell me!"
"Bizhishuo, Beizhishuo!" His affairs had been found out, so naturally he would not hide them for the murderer. He looked at the concubines beside him. The imperial guard lowered his head and pointed at someone, which surprised everyone.
"The emperor, the person who recommended Concubine Li to the water is Concubine Du!"
Emperor Yong frowned and looked at Concubine Du. Unexpectedly, after searching, he found Concubine Du. Looking at Concubine Du's calm look, Emperor Yong paused and asked Hongyu, "Where are you? You also see Concubine Du?"
Hongyu stopped kowtowing and knelt down, with red hair on her head and blood on her head. It was obvious how much force she had just used. She trembled and said, "Back to the emperor, yes, it was indeed Concubine Du who caused Concubine Li."
"I passed by the lake, not only because the journey was close, but also because I made an appointment to meet with Lord Lin. Unexpectedly, I saw the scene of Concubine Du picking up a stone and hitting Concubine Li. I was careless and made a sound. Concubine Du noticed it and found out that Concubine Lin."
"She threatened me and my servants not to tell me about this, otherwise we would expose our affairs. I was obsessed with it for a moment and slandered Baosha. Please forgive me! I know my mistake!"
After hearing the two of them, Emperor Yong looked at Concubine Du, and Chu Yanzi also looked at Concubine Du, with a slightly flashing look in his eyes. Since Concubine Yun told her that her injury that day might be related to the queen, she sent someone to thoroughly investigate the matter and exchanged it with the system. Only then did she learn that when the eldest prince was baptizing the three rituals that day, it was actually Concubine Du who interfered with it. Although she did not go there that day,
But... the maid was hers. Not only did she pull Bao Zhaoyi's bracelet, she also exposed herself to Yan Lianyu's eyes. In order to avoid their rolling bodies, she was panicked at the time, and the maid kicked her unconsciously!
Since she knew the truth, she would not let the real murderer go. Of course, Yan Lianyu would not let her go. If she hadn't had the idea of dragging her into the water, why would the palace maid find an opportunity to kick that kick?
"Gui Ren Du, what do you have to say?" Emperor Yong turned to Gui Ren Du, his eyes darkened. She had harmed Meiren Liu's child at the beginning, but she gave birth to the first prince for him.
Concubine Du walked up with a gentle and restrained expression, "Your Majesty, these two people said that it was a concubine who harmed Concubine Li, but there is evidence? You can't just tell the murderer was a concubine just because of the words of the two of them."
"What's more," Du Guiren looked sideways at Hongyu and others who were disbelief. "I have no grudges with Guiren Li today and no grudges in the past. Why do I want to harm her? I always have a reason to harm Guiren Li? I won't be able to make it easy for me to do it for no reason. I think it's fun and push Guiren Li into the water."
After Du Guiren finished speaking, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and looked at Emperor Yong, with no fear in his eyes, all soft and indifferent, "Your Majesty, are you right about me?"
Chu Yanzi looked at her, but she didn't expect that Concubine Du had a clever mouth. Naturally, she had no grudges with Concubine Li, but someone had it. In the case of conclusive evidence, she could still be so calm and composed. The queen was so relieved to use her as a knife at this time, and she didn't know if she would eat her in the end.
Seeing that she was not at all panicked, Emperor Yong looked at her quietly, and then asked Hongyu and the others, "Do you have any evidence?"
Before Hongyu and the others could speak, Chu Yanzi had already closed his eyelids and knew the ending of this matter. Even if the murderer was Concubine Du, the emperor would not investigate again, because Concubine Du was the biological mother of the eldest prince after all. Although it was found out that Concubine Du was the murderer in the end, how would he punish Concubine Du?
Chu Yanzi pulled Emperor Yong to investigate this matter, not to punish Concubine Du, but to plant seeds in Emperor Yong's heart, so that Emperor Yong knew that Concubine Du was not trustworthy. After all,... she might have to deal with Concubine Du again in the future.
Cut his head, Chu Yanzi pursed his smile at the corner of his lips. The harem was getting more and more fun.
"I, I don't..." Hongyu had just bumped into it by chance, so how could there be evidence?
The smile on the corner of Du Guiren's mouth was still faintly visible. He raised his eyes and looked at Emperor Yong, frowned, revealing a hint of sadness. "The concubine is low and gentle, so that the slave can feel that he can slander it at will," he smiled reluctantly, "Your Majesty, you have heard the words of this slave. You have nothing to say. You want to slander the concubine with just one sentence. I am wronged."
Instead of making noises like Yanpin before, she was not making trouble for her, nor did she cry and complain like Hongyu and other slaves. Concubine Du just said "unfairly", with a hint of loss on her eyebrows and eyes, and she stopped talking, as if she was dealing with the emperor without any complaints.
"Maybe, the two of them had an affair and were discovered by Guiren Li by the lake. They kept pushing Guiren Li into the water. This is not impossible." Guiren Du looked up and said this to Emperor Yong again, with a frank face without a trace of dodging.
"Guru Du is right." Emperor Yong's eyes flashed, and he finally let go of his eyebrows. "The two Hongyu had an affair, and had committed a serious crime, and they wanted to slander their master. They would commit the crime at once, and the crime was even higher. They would drag it down and be punished fifty, and be demoted from the palace!"
Hongyu listened to the emperor's disposal in disbelief. It was clearly that Concubine Du caused Concubine Li, so why did she say that she was the one who was wronged? She was wronged and she was dissatisfied! Just as she was about to make a noise, she saw Emperor Yong's cold gaze, and all her courage disappeared, and she was so cowardly that she was taken down.
The imperial guard beside him was even more afraid to make trouble, and he was taken down with Hongye.
Seeing Hongyu being dragged down, Yanpin trembled, looking at her eyes asking for help, and finally turned her head away, closed her eyes, and did not look at her, she betrayed her first.
Chu Yanzi looked at the unchanged face of Concubine Du, and his eyes flashed.
The two were taken down, and the matter was left to nothing. Emperor Yong did not investigate, but just thought that what Concubine Du just said was the result.
Emperor Yong glanced at Concubine Du again and said, "You all get up."
Yanpin and Concubine Du, who were kneeling on the ground, responded and stood up. Concubine Yanpin glanced at Concubine Du, her eyes darkened. She believed Hongyu's last words. Since that's the case, does Concubine Du know about her own affairs or don't?
Fu Yan, who was guarding Li Guiren, saw that what was going on here was gone, was shaking his hand that was acupuncture for Li Guiren, then returned to its original state, reached out to wipe Li Guiren's breath, looked at the imperial physician beside him, frowned, made a gesture, and signaled him to take a look.
The imperial physician walked up to sway his pulse, his face changed, and he shook his head at Fu Yan.
Fu Yan calmed his expression and walked towards Emperor Yong. He stopped three steps away from Emperor Yong and knelt down to salute. "Emperor, Concubine Li, it's gone."
