398 Chapter 398 Stealing Chickens Failed (1)
Shen Jingshu looked at Mrs. Pingyanghou's appearance, and couldn't help but feel a little lucky. She knew that Mrs. Pingyanghou was not a character to be provoked. Otherwise, without that person's help in this matter just now, it would be herself who fell into such a state at the moment!
Queen, queen, you are really good at calculating, but you don't know that stealing a chicken will cost you a lot of money. Can you bear the consequences?
"Okay, this palace will definitely investigate this matter, you can rest assured!" There was some helplessness in the eyebrows, the original good plan was messed up, and the empress felt a little uneasy at the moment. There is a decision. It's just how to do so that this matter will not involve her?
Just thinking about how to solve this matter, there was a commotion outside the door. What the queen never expected was that the emperor came, "The emperor is here!"
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Everyone did not expect that the emperor would also come, the empress only felt a severe headache at the moment, while Concubine Li had a gloating expression on her face, looking at the empress, she knew that the empress was going to be in trouble, Concubine Xian's face on the side was pale, she couldn't see any expression, she just stood there respectfully, Shen Jingshu saw everyone's faces in her eyes, and couldn't help but respect Concubine Xian more.
This virtuous concubine, who offered to help just now, seems to be kind to me. If it wasn't for her, I'm afraid I wouldn't have evidence of her alibi, right?
But why did the emperor come at this time?
Seeing the man next to the emperor gave herself a stable look, Shen Jingshu knew that it must be because of that man.
Since she was reborn, she has always tried her best to protect herself. The feeling of being protected today made her feel very warm, and she also felt a layer of nostalgia for the tenderness and love of that man. In the past, she was always trying to protect the people she cared about and trying to make herself stronger, but it was only today that she realized that she was not omnipotent. All the fear and hesitation just now turned into smoke because of the appearance of this man. Shen Jingshu knew that she had completely fallen on this man.
Yu Wenjin, thank you.
Today is the Empress's Qianqiu, the Emperor originally came to see it symbolically, after all, this is the Empress, so it's not good for him to really ignore it. But as soon as he came, he saw such a battle and smelled the blood in the air. The emperor looked at the lying corpse not far away, and his face suddenly changed, "What happened?" A murder in the palace is a big deal. The people who came today are all the family members of officials above the third rank, and it is difficult to explain whoever has an accident!
"Your Majesty, the maid of the empress killed Miss Cui from the Pingyang Hou family. I don't know what happened." Concubine Li rushed to speak first. Some are a little bit hateful, they are taking advantage of loopholes anytime and anywhere.
"Your Majesty, there is some misunderstanding about this matter." She hurriedly said, if she is really sure that it was her maid who killed Cui Liu'er, then she will not be able to escape the responsibility, so no matter what, even if you want Yuzhu to plead guilty, it must be done thoroughly. Just cut off your relationship with her!
But what to do? Since the emperor came, the queen found that things seemed to have become more and more complicated.
"Then tell me, is there any misunderstanding?" Looking at the queen, the emperor's too deep eyes could not see any emotion at all, and the queen couldn't help but feel a little worried, "Your majesty, I haven't found out yet, so I don't know It's just that Ms. Cui was with Ms. Shen when the incident happened. When we came after the incident, Ms. Shen left. When we came, we saw Yuzhu and Ms. Cui together, but Yuzhu I have never met Ms. Cui, and I have no complaints in the past, so how could I kill Ms. Cui?" With such a precise layout, I thought that Shen Jingshu would definitely die, but who the hell got Shen Jingshu away?
"Even if there is no hatred, Yuzhu belongs to your empress. If you give an order, how dare she disobey?" Concubine Li added fuel to the scene. As if he hadn't seen the Queen's eyes, he smiled smugly, and the bridge between the Queen and Concubine Li became more and more knotted, "Concubine Li, what do you mean?"
"Hehe, the concubine is just guessing her motives, why should the empress be angry?"
"you……"
"Okay, you all don't say a few words!" Seeing the two people facing each other tit-for-tat, the emperor also felt irritable. Now Mrs. Pingyang Hou saw Concubine Li and the queen tit-for-tat, and hurriedly interjected, "Your majesty, you must do it for me." My wife is in charge. My wife is just such a daughter, and now she is gone, my wife, my wife must find the murderer! Please also ask the emperor to investigate!" Anyway, there are many people from the Pingyang Hou family and the queen, and Mrs. Pingyang Hou Don't worry about offending the queen for a while!
"Don't worry, Mrs. Pingyang Hou, I will definitely give you an explanation!" After asking about everything in detail, the emperor looked at Shen Jingshu, then looked at Concubine Xian, to determine the time for Shen Jingshu to leave, and finally asked Wu to act. Come and check, according to the testimony of Concubine Xian and Shen Jingshu, it is absolutely impossible for Shen Jingshu to be around when Cui Liuer died, so the only thing left is that raindrop.
"Yuzhu, the facts are in front of us. Did you kill this person?" The emperor is not a fool. Today's incident really happened too strangely and cleverly. Will give up easily!
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please spare me, no, I am not a slave!" If she confessed to the crime of murder, her life would be ruined!
"Do you admit it? Come on, someone, drag me down and beat me hard until she tells all about the mastermind!"
"yes!"
The order has already been given, but the emperor looked at the queen with a half-smile, the smile made the queen's scalp tingle, "Queen, do you have any objection to doing this?"
"Of course not. It would be great to find out the truth of the matter. After all, this happened in the concubine's palace, and the concubine should be in charge." Can she say no? The queen believed that as long as she said it, the emperor would be furious. She couldn't bear such anger!
Now, she can only take a step forward to watch one. This Yuzhu is her confidant, and she believes that the other party will not tell the truth so easily, at most, she has shouldered the matter herself. After thinking about this, the queen glanced at Yuzhu, "Yuzhu, you have been with me all these years, and I have always treated you kindly. If something like this happens, I hope you will take care of yourself!" Knowing that her fate today is considered here, but after hearing what the queen said, Yuzhu felt her whole body stiffen instantly, knowing that she must bear this matter.
"Your Majesty, I'm sorry for being a servant!" She was taken out crying, and Yuzhu's last look of death and pleading, the queen saw it. Undoubtedly, Yuzhu intends to accept all the blame for all the crimes, hoping that she can take care of Yuzhu's family.
