The mad concubine of the group loves the world

Chapter 69 Why Not Tell the Truth
Bypassing the gorgeous mahogany carved screen, Yao Shuiyue took a deep breath, walked in, and knelt at the position closest to the door:
"My daughter, Yao Shuiyue, see the empress dowager, my mother is blessed and safe."

The hall was ashen-like silence, and although no words were spoken from above, the oppressive atmosphere made her almost out of breath, she dared not raise her head to just stare at the polished mirror-like ground, and secretly adjusted her breathing.

I was the first person to call for help for Yan Wangfei and Miss Xie's family. If I didn't put in some effort today to get out of this whole beard, I'm afraid it would not be easy.

The Empress Dowager closed her eyes slightly, looking quite tired.

After listening to the rest of the people who came and answered, she talked for a long time, and she probably understood the ins and outs of the matter.

At the poetry meeting, it was an indisputable fact that Lu Wanlan and Xie Yingying were arguing red-faced.

It is true that Princess Yan became a blockbuster, winning Miss Xie Si and the other two sons of the Hou family.

And just now everyone seemed to have the same tongue, they only said that they were attracted by the fireworks, and they didn't know how the two fell into the water. Now Lu Wanlan is still lying in the back hall, unconscious.

Looking at the injuries all over her body, it didn't look like what others said, she wanted to slap Xie Yingying.

But if you want to say that it was Xie Yingying who jumped the wall in a hurry and was injured by her and then fought back, and the two accidentally fell into the water during the dispute, it seems to make sense.

Regardless of what happened, now that Xie Yingying has passed away, the royal family still has to give the Xie family an explanation.

Then Grand Tutor Xie did not go to court for three years. If he returned to court because of this incident, and if he only regarded the Lu family as a target, the emperor would be considered to have helped.

But this Lu Wanlan is now Princess Yan, if she is suppressed, then King Yan will be implicated accordingly.

The king of Yu in front of him is not a fuel-efficient lamp, so it's okay to hold down the king of Yan. If he takes this opportunity to rebel, the only one beside the emperor is King Zheng who eats fast and recites Buddha.

If King Yu is unchecked, then there will be endless troubles.

The Queen Mother recalled that when her son seized the throne, it was considered a dangerous move.

Then the Xie family turned their backs on their old master and followed Xiao Jingyu instead, who knows if they will make the same old mistakes again?Who can tell whether this falling into the water is a conspiracy by King Yu?
Thinking of this, the Empress Dowager narrowed her sharp eyes, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes tightened slightly, she glanced at Xiao Yihan beside her, and motioned him to continue asking questions.

King Yu Xiao Yihan bowed his head when he saw this, and raised his finger to Yao Shuiyue who was kneeling in the hall: "Mother, this Yao Shuiyue is the first witness that my minister said."

The Queen Mother did not speak.

On the other hand, Concubine Xie Guifei, who kept wiping away tears, stood up abruptly, and roared:

"Say it quickly! Did that bitch Princess Yan push my sister into the water!"

"My daughter..."

Seeing Yao Shuiyue raised her head in a daze, with her mouth open to falter, Xie Minmin rushed over, her sharp phoenix eyes fixed on Yao Shuiyue's flustered eyes, as if she wanted to see through her:
"Didn't she win the bet at the poetry meeting? Didn't she, beat up my sister and then pushed her into the water while you weren't paying attention! Tell me!!"

While speaking, he quickly grabbed the wrist of the noble lady in front of him, gnashing his teeth, tearing and shaking it.

Yao Shuiyue had prepared herself early in the morning. Concubine Xie Guifei had always loved Xie Yingying very much, and now she would be very sad to lose her beloved sister.But she didn't expect Concubine Xie Guifei to be so excited, and now she looks like she thinks of herself as a murderer.

Swallowing saliva, he forced himself to calm down:
"Going back to the imperial concubine, the courtiers, the courtiers only saw them struggling in the water together, and they sank after a while..."

"anything else?!"

"Your servant only sees this..." While talking, Yao Shuiyue burst into tears like springs from her eyes.

Seeing her stubborn expression, Xie Minmin raised his hand and slapped her:
"Didn't you write poems for Princess Yan? If it wasn't for you, how could my sister lose? Are you with her and want to conspire to kill my sister?"

Yao Shuiyue screamed and fell to the ground.Covering the instantly red and swollen Ruyu cheeks, the tears stopped instantly.

Unexpectedly, I would be so associated by Concubine Xie Guifei when I acted on the spur of the moment.

Immediately, he kowtowed to the empress dowager above and shouted for grievances: "The empress dowager has a clear lesson, and my daughter-in-law must never dare. This daughter-in-law met Yan Wangfei for the first time, and she has no grievances or enmity with Miss Xie Si, how could she be hurt?"

Xie Minmin wanted to step forward again: "How dare you..."

"Enough." The Empress Dowager rubbed the center of her brows, and said softly, "Concubine Xie, after all, is a human life, so you can't be randomly identified. If you ask Aijia, you should step back first."

Hearing the anger in the Empress Dowager's tone, Xie Minmin suddenly realized that he was in disarray and lost his dignity in front of the palace.

Then he knelt down in front of the Queen Mother with a "plop" and burst into tears: "The concubine knows that she is guilty, so she shouldn't have taken the initiative to beat the younger sister of the Yao family. I also ask the queen mother to forgive her sin. But the younger sister's death is unknown, and the concubine's heart is like The knife is twisted, and it is only in a moment of impatience..."

After finishing speaking, she turned back to look at Yao Shuiyue with tears in her eyes: "If my sister is Ben Gong, she will definitely understand Ben Gong's feelings. You won't blame Ben Gong, right?"

"The ministers dare not."

After Yao Shuiyue finished speaking, she pressed her forehead heavily to the ground again: "I also ask the Empress Dowager to return the innocence of my servants."

King Yu, who had been watching the show with a gloomy face, suddenly spoke at this moment: "You want the Queen Mother to restore your innocence, why don't you tell the truth about everything you saw?"

This word shocked everyone, and everyone turned their attention to Yao Shuiyue.

It has to be said that Xiao Yihan said this very cleverly. He directly pointed out that Lu Wanlan and Xie Yingying fell into the water. Yao Shuiyue, who saw the truth, chose to hide it because he was afraid of revenge from the real murderer behind the scenes.

Yao Shuiyue, who was placed in the hall, suddenly felt a dark cloud lingering above her head.The coldness in the air was like an arctic cold river, making her tremble.

"Oh? What's the truth? Go on."

The queen mother lightly opened her eyelids, and her words revealed a coldness that could not be refused.

"The courtier, the courtier dare not..."

"Why don't you dare?" Xie Minmin understood the meaning of her words when she heard this, "Don't be afraid, the empress dowager and this palace will protect you and will never let her make things difficult for you."

This her, of course, refers to Lu Wanlan.

Seeing the Empress Dowager sighed heavily, she seemed quite impatient, Yao Shuiyue buried her head even deeper, if she must tell what she saw, it would be better to say a few more words:

"My daughter, I saw Fourth Miss Xie, Fourth Miss Xie scratched Princess Yan and pushed her down to the center of the lake..."

"You are talking nonsense!"

Xie Minmin turned her head angrily, and was about to continue questioning, but suddenly heard a report from Eunuch Ning outside the door:
"I would like to report to the Empress Dowager, Wu Zuo has finished examining Miss Xie Si's body, and presented some evidence."

"pass."

Afterwards, a plump woman entered the palace and replied: "I have seen the empress dowager, His Royal Highness King Yu, the noble concubine, and the servants have already inspected Miss Xie Si's body. This thing is from Miss Xie Si."

After finishing speaking, he presented a white cloth bag to the nurse beside him.
