Eight-year-old Princess: Phoenix Reborn

Chapter 360: Flowers in the Mirror and Moon in the Water

Xia Huanyu only glanced at it lightly, then frowned, "I seem to have seen this person in Shuya Palace, he is a palace servant in Shuya Palace." Then he turned and looked at the servant at the side , "Little Anzi, take someone to Shuya Palace to have a look, and bring this person here."

Yun Shang raised her eyebrows, the note with Concubine Shu's handwriting, and Qian Shui's identification, Concubine Shen Shu should be considered the most suspicious person, but Xia Huanyu never mentioned bringing her to the meeting hall to face to face , I am afraid that when the evidence is sufficient, she will directly order to deal with Concubine Shen Shu, not to give Concubine Shen Shu a chance to refute, so as to give the Queen a chance.

The queen seemed to be relieved, but her complexion was still a little ugly, and the eyes that fell on Yunshang had a bit of murderous intent, which made it difficult for Yunshang to ignore.

While waiting for the servant to bring the palace man in the painting, Liu Wen'an had already returned, holding a few small pieces in his hand, "Your Majesty, my servant showed several people the incense ash, and they all said it was the palace man." The drunken peach blossom soothing fragrance in the book is this thing."

Xia Huanyu glanced at it, and said calmly, "Which palaces have you sent this Anshenxiang?"

Liu Wen'an hurriedly said, "This Drunken Peach Blossom Calming Incense is more troublesome to make, but it has an excellent soothing effect. In the harem, only Concubine Shen Shu, Concubine Yun, and the previous Empress Dowager like to use this incense."

With only three people, the goal is very clear.

"That quilt also came from the palace, but it's just an ordinary quilt, so there's no way to find it." Liu Wen'an said again.

Xia Huanyu nodded lightly, and asked again, "How is the interrogation of those people who were taken down for interrogation earlier?"

Liu Wen'an hurriedly sent someone to inquire, and after a while, the guards hurried over, half-kneeling towards Xia Huanyu and said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, the three people in the Ziyan pharmacy confessed that someone gave twelve Give them the gold, let them identify Princess Rui. It's just that the instigator is wearing a veiled hat, I don't know who it is, but looking at the figure, it should be a woman. The subordinates saw that the gold given to them by the woman belonged to Huitong Bank in the city It is very difficult to confirm the imprint of the Huitong Bank’s daily circulation of countless silver coins.”

Xia Huanyu nodded, and said again, "What happened to Lin Liu?"

"Lin Liu hasn't confessed yet. His subordinates sent someone to check his home and found that his two young sons were missing. They asked Lin Liu's wife and mother, and they all said that Lin Liu sent them to his aunt's house to play. They were just guards. Went to the house of Lin Liu's two sisters, and they both said nothing happened." The guard commander lowered his head and said slowly.

Yun Shang pondered for a while, "I'm afraid someone might have caught his child and threatened him."

Xia Huanyu nodded, urged Liu Wen'an to whisper something in his ear, and Liu Wen'an hurriedly backed away.

After a while, another guard walked in with a maid in charge, and threw the maid to the ground fiercely. The maid looked a little flustered, raised her eyes to scan the situation in the palace, and bit her lip Straightened up, saluted, and said tremblingly, "I have seen Your Majesty, I have seen the Empress, Your Majesty Jin An, and the Empress Qianxi."

Xia Huanyu whispered, "What's your name? Which palace are you from?"

The palace maid hurriedly said, "My maidservant's name is Huai Min, and she is from Shuya Palace."

Xia Huanyu narrowed his eyes, "The shopkeeper of Qianshui Yiren Pavilion said that you bought a pair of earrings in her Qianshui Yiren Pavilion?"

The maid named Huai Min was startled when she heard the words, she shook her head in panic, "Slave, there is no slave."

Qian Shui heard the words and said quickly, "I still remember that this Huai Min girl came the day before yesterday. She was wearing a light green dress embroidered with jasmine flowers in the late afternoon. She looked around the shop and said For this earring, this earring is one hundred and thirty taels of silver. Miss Huaimin gave Minnv two hundred taels of silver. I remember, there is a birthmark the size of the thumb of an index finger on Miss Huai Min's left arm."

Huai Min's body trembled, she quickly retracted her hand into her sleeve, but someone grabbed her and lifted up the sleeve of her left hand, revealing a black birthmark the size of a finger.

"It's not a servant, a servant has never been there, a servant has never been there." Huai Min hurriedly rolled down her sleeves and said in panic.

Xia Huanyu pondered for a moment and then said, "Go to the gate of the palace to check. The day before yesterday, there was a record of this maid named Huai Min leaving the palace."

When Huai Min heard this, her body trembled again, "I have been out of the palace the day before yesterday, but I have never been to the Qianshui Yiren Pavilion, nor have I ever bought any earrings."

As soon as the words fell, I heard a voice from the door, "Concubine Shu, please see me."

Xia Huanyu frowned, was silent for a moment, and then said, "Broadcast."

Yun Chang turned her eyes, and saw Concubine Shen Shu put her hand on the arm of a palace maid and walked in slowly, followed by two palace maids.

After walking into the hall, Concubine Shen Shu hastily saluted Xia Huanyu and the queen, "I have met His Majesty and Empress Empress in person."

Xia Huanyu frowned, "What are you doing here?"

Perhaps it was because of the impatience in Xia Huanyu's voice, Concubine Shen Shu paused slightly, and the smile on the corner of her mouth was also a bit reluctant, "I heard that two people in the palace were detained by His Majesty, Therefore, I came here specially to see what kind of mistake the two of them made, and let His Majesty personally discipline them. If they really made a mistake, wouldn’t it be a big mistake if the concubine, the master, didn’t know about it..."

Xia Huanyu smiled coldly when he heard the words, "It really shouldn't be." Then he threw the paper on the side of the imperial table on Concubine Shen Shu, "Look at it."

Concubine Shen Shu trembled, as if she had never seen Xia Huanyu treat her so indifferently. After a long time, she bent down, picked up the paper that had fallen on the ground, unfolded it, and looked at the contents of the paper. It changed suddenly, and after a while, Concubine Shen Shu said, "Your Majesty, this concubine has been wronged! Concubine..."

Before he finished speaking, Xia Huanyu interrupted impatiently, "Whether you are wronged or not, you will know soon."

"Just now Princess Rui said that two of the evidences for this incident were items from the Qianshui Yiren Pavilion, so she asked to bring the treasurer of the Qianshui Yiren Pavilion for questioning, but the guards hadn't gone yet, and the treasurer of the Qianshui Yiren Pavilion The younger sister was taken away. As soon as the shopkeeper arrived at the meeting hall, another shopkeeper who claimed to be the shopkeeper of Qianshui Yiren Pavilion came, but it was a disguised one. After peeling off the disguised skin on his face, it was you Huailu in the palace. And the shopkeeper of Qianshui Yiren Pavilion pointed out that Huai Min in your palace also went to her shop to buy an earring. Let's write a letter together." Xia Huanyu said coldly, never looking at Concubine Shu from the beginning to the end.

Concubine Shen Shu bit her lip and remained silent for a long time. She looked at Xia Huanyu for a while, then turned to Yunshang, and then to the Queen, and smiled coldly, "There is nothing wrong with wanting to commit a crime. The concubine is finally here today." I also understand the meaning of this sentence."

"Want to commit a crime?" Xia Huanyu sneered, "Before Princess Rui was imprisoned in the sky prison, someone wanted to harm her, and the mist used to make Princess Rui fall into a deep sleep was the drunken peach blossom in the palace. An Shenxiang, only you and Concubine Yun are using it in this palace."

Yun Chang watched Concubine Shu fall silent, but bit her lip and raised her head abruptly after a long while, "This concubine is not convinced, I have something to say!"

"Oh? What's the matter? Take everyone else down." Xia Huanyu said indifferently, watching the guards bring those witnesses and accused people out of the meeting hall, and before Concubine Shu could speak, she seemed to sigh again Honestly, "I have never blamed you for such a shocking incident among the Ya people. Even Xiao Twelve has such a situation, and I still condone it. Qizhou is a bitter and cold place, and the conditions are extremely harsh." For the sake of hardship, King Qi is also the son of the widow, and he has been extremely intelligent since he was a child. If he is not affected by the affairs of the Ya clan, the widow would really like to put him by his side and teach him personally. The affairs of the Ya clan really have a lot of influence Da, the widow is unwilling to accept a nobleman, and it is also because of this, even though she has no choice but to give her the position of nobleman, but the widow will never allow her to conceive."

Concubine Shen Shu's footsteps seemed a little soft, she took a small step back, but was quickly supported by the palace servants behind her, Concubine Shen Shu's complexion was pale, with a bit of a bitter smile on her face, she slowly closed her eyes, and said after a while, "Hahaha, it seems that everything is a concubine's delusion. The concubine thinks that His Majesty's tolerance is because he still has some affection for the concubine. The concubine thinks that there are many concubines in the harem, and the concubine is always special. , the concubine does not have a deep family background, and was just a palace man at first, but His Majesty has never neglected to dote on the concubine over the years, even after the concubine was injured and could no longer conceive, even if it was the shocking secret of the Ya clan After being dug out. It's just that things have come to this, but the concubine finally understands, understands..."

"Heh..." Concubine Shen Shu smiled coldly, "I understand that the emperor's favor is just a mirror image, and I understand that it's not that the concubine is special, but because the concubine still has some uses, but this usefulness is threatening the interests of more useful people." At that time, it became dust, and the concubine was favored because the concubine did not have the support of the family. Your majesty dotes on the concubine, so you don’t have to worry about the monopoly of foreign relatives. The concubine fell out of favor because the concubine did not have the support of the family. Concubine, there is no need to worry that your relatives will object..."

"The matter hasn't been clarified yet, you'd better go back to your Shuya Palace first." Xia Huanyu frowned, interrupted her with a displeased expression.

Concubine Shen Shu sneered, withdrew the hand that was supporting the palace maid, and stood up straight, "Not yet? What else can be investigated? Hasn't Your Majesty already decided in her heart that she should be a concubine? Eighteen years of husband and wife, Your Majesty Now that I have decided to make this concubine an abandoned son, I will follow suit, and your Majesty does not need to investigate any more, it is all done by this concubine, and everything is done by this concubine!"\u003c
