Chapter 791

The blade of grass was very small, and the cloak was dark green, making it difficult to spot it on it.

Concubine Jing defended: "Today, the concubine wore it during the day and went out. It should have been accidentally stained at that time."

Xiao Xixi was noncommittal about this.

She directly pulled the cloak from the screen.

Dong Ling wanted to step forward to stop her, but was stopped by Bao Qin.

She could only go to see Concubine Jing.

However, Concubine Jing had no choice but to watch the imperial concubine start rummaging through the cloak inch by inch.

Soon, Xiao Xixi found some dirt on the edge of the hem of the cloak.

She stretched out her hand to hold a little dirt and smiled.

"The soil is still wet. It must have just touched it."

Concubine Jing was speechless.

She asked with tears in her eyes, "What does the imperial concubine mean? Do you suspect that the concubine is lying? The concubine almost died, and it is fine if the imperial concubine doesn't care. Why are you still in trouble?"

Xiao Xixi: "Don't change the subject, Ben Gong just wants to know, did you wear this cloak tonight? You just need to answer Ben Gong yes or no."

Concubine Jing looked at the emperor and begged with tears in her eyes.

"Your Majesty, your concubine has really been harmed. I beg Your Majesty to be the master of your concubine!"

If he were to be a normal man, he would definitely soften his heart in the face of such a beauty with pear blossoms and rain.

It's a pity that she met Luo Qinghan, a big pig's hoof with no emotion.

The big pig's hoof emperor seemed to be blind, completely ignoring her pitiful pleading appearance, and said coldly.

"Whatever the imperial concubine asks you, you can say."

Concubine Jing's tears fell in a flash.

She cried extremely sadly: "Why doesn't even His Majesty believe in the concubine body? The concubine body is dead, woohoo!"

Luo Qinghan: "Changxi, go get a pot of poison wine. Since Concubine Jing doesn't want to live anymore, let's send her on the road."

Concubine Jing's crying stopped abruptly.

She looked at the emperor in disbelief, almost thinking she had misheard.

It wasn't until Eunuch Chang really brought a pot of poison wine that Concubine Jing suddenly came back to her senses.

She looked at the wine glass that was handed in front of her with panic and fear in her eyes.

"No, Your Majesty, Concubine just said that casually. Concubine doesn't really want to live. I beg Your Majesty to take back her life and spare Concubine this time. Concubine will no longer dare to talk nonsense!"

Luo Qinghan looked at her fixedly: "Would you like to answer honestly?"

Concubine Jing nodded while crying.

Luo Qinghan waved his hand.

Eunuch Chang stepped aside with the wine glass in his hand.

Xiao Xixi: "Is Concubine Jing wearing this cloak tonight?"

Concubine Jing choked up while thinking about what to do next in her heart.

"Yes, the concubine did wear it out tonight, but so what? Is it wrong for the concubine to wear it out to get some air?"

Xiao Xixi: "Then here comes the problem.

Since you wore it to go out, why did you fall into the water, but this cloak was still dry?

Don't tell me you took off your cloak halfway.

In such a cold day, you suddenly took off your cloak. Do you want to freeze yourself to death? "

Concubine Jing was dumbfounded, obviously being questioned.

Xiao Xixi continued: "Or did the person who murdered you deliberately take off your cloak for you before pushing you into the water?"

Concubine Jing opened her mouth and wanted to defend herself, but she couldn't find a suitable reason.

If she was given a little more time, she might be able to find an excuse for herself, but now that the emperor is sitting in front of her and the imperial concubine is staring at her, she must give an answer as soon as possible, and there is no extra time to think.

She held it back for a long time before she stammered out two sentences.

"I brought an extra cloak when I went out, and the cloak got dirty with the mud, so I changed to another cloak."

Xiao Xixi: "Oh? Is that the cloak that was sent to the Clothes Washing Bureau? Ben Gong will let someone go to the Clothing Bureau and ask them to see if the Yingfu Palace has sent a wet cloak tonight?"

Even though she said that, no one moved, she just looked at Concubine Jing with a half-smile.

Concubine Jing's face was already pale, but at this time it was even more frighteningly pale.

She didn't bring a cloak out tonight at all. If she went to the Laundry Bureau and asked, she would definitely be different from what she said.

Xiao Xixi: "There is something else to remind you, Shao Xuanshi is not dead, do you need to see her?"

Without even thinking about it, Concubine Jing blurted out, "I don't see her!"

After she finished speaking, she realized that her reaction seemed too great, and immediately closed her mouth again.

Xiao Xixi handed the cloak to the palace maid beside her, turned her eyes around Concubine Jing's pale and ugly face, and said slowly.

"If Ben Gong guessed correctly, you didn't go out tonight with an extra cloak.

You go out wearing this cloak.

You took off your cloak before jumping into the lake.

Because this cloak is too thick, once it enters the water, it will definitely become very heavy.

If you wear it, it will inevitably increase a lot of burden, and it may even affect the speed at which others rescue you out of the water.

In such a cold day, if you stay in the water for a long time, if you don't drown, you may freeze to death.

You jumped into the lake just to reduce your suspicions, and to sell your miserable sympathy by the way. You didn't really want to die, so you deliberately took off your cloak before jumping into the lake. "

Concubine Jing avoided her sight and smiled sadly: "Does the imperial concubine want to convict the concubine body just with a cloak? The concubine body can die, but the concubine body does not accept this kind of trumped-up crime."

Xiao Xixi: "It's pretty stubborn, Huachun and Zhier died one after another, and Shao Xuanshi almost got killed. You can't do so many things alone, do you want this palace to pull all the people who are serving you? Go to the Judiciary for a trial, maybe they will know something?"

When Dong Ling heard the words, her expression changed, and she hurriedly knelt down: "The noble concubine, please spare your life, the servants don't know anything!"

Luo Qinghan: "Send all the people in the Yingfu Palace to the Department of Penalties and Penalties to have a look."

As soon as these words came out, almost the entire Yingfu Palace was driven to a dead end.

Everyone in the palace knows that anyone who enters the Department of Prudence and Punishment will have to peel off their skin if they don't die!

If these people are sent to the Department of Penalties, I'm afraid they will die again.

Cries came and went.

However, it was useless, all the maids, eunuchs and maids in Yingfu Palace were dragged away by the guards.

When Concubine Jing heard those desperate cries, she only felt cold all over, even colder than when she soaked in the icy lake.

She is very careful in her work on weekdays, and when she does things that are shameful, she will deliberately avoid the people around her.

But after a long time, those who serve around him will inevitably notice.

It's just that everyone is tacit.

Now that all the people in Yingfu Palace have been dragged to the Department of Prudential Penalty for interrogation, Concubine Jing cannot ensure that these people can keep their mouths shut.

In case someone sells her...
