Chapter 70 She is not perfect
The nun didn't dare to neglect, and walked forward like a gust of wind.Unfolding the white cloth in his hands, a delicate emerald blue gold hairpin inlaid with jewels came into the eyes of the Queen Mother.

"Why is this object in Miss Xie Si's hands?" The queen mother's phoenix eyes swept over the emerald hairpin like a dragonfly, and a trace of doubt escaped from her mouth. Although she was not angry, Xie Minmin was instantly startled into a fine sweat , "Isn't this a reward from Aijia?"

"Going back to the Empress Dowager, my brother sent someone to send some specialties from my hometown to my concubine a few days ago. He said that my younger sister was afraid that my concubine would live in the deep palace for a long time and was homesick, so my concubine wanted to return some jewelry to my younger sister..."

The golden light of the hairpin flashed in her eyes, and by the way, it also took away the tears in her eyes.

She didn't expect that Yao Shuiyue would dare to openly say that Xie Yingying was the mastermind. Now that she had key evidence, she suddenly felt that the situation seemed to be against her.

Xie Minmin pinched the veil and nodded her red eyes, and lowered her head even lower: "It's my concubine's fault, I gave the empress dowager's heart to others in a moment of confusion..."

"That's not what the Ai family said." The queen mother obviously didn't care about her reward being passed on, she only glanced at the woman at the door, "Tell me, what did you find out?"

The woman saluted respectfully:

"Reporting to the Empress Dowager, the servant is the pharmacist and the stable woman. On weekdays, she takes care of the childbirth for the ladies in the palaces. Because the sufferer is the fourth daughter of the Xie family, the servant and the servant went to have the body examined together."

Seeing the woman revealing her identity, everyone pricked up their ears to hear her continue explaining the details: "Miss Xie Si did drown and died without a doubt, and she held this thing in her hand before she died."

"Then does she have scars on her face?" Seeing that Xie Minmin hesitated to speak, the Queen Mother guessed that she had doubts.

"Go back to your empress, there is no scar on Miss Xie Si's face, so it can be concluded that she was not harmed by external force before she died." The woman paused for a moment, and put her arms on the ground again, as if she had discovered something shocking, "About Fourth Miss Xie, I have one more report to report, but it is of great importance, so I ask His Royal Highness Prince Yu to avoid it for now..."

Before the words fell, I heard a scolding from the side: "Presumptuous!"

Unexpectedly, the woman spoke like this, Xiao Yihan's face froze, and his sharp eyes stabbed at the woman like a sword light.

Does this person have some conspiracy?In front of the Empress Dowager, the noble concubine, and even all the palace people in Cishou Palace, he only allowed himself to avoid it.

The woman nodded slightly, and in the face of Xiao Yihan's anger, she just replied respectfully: "Please calm down, my lord, the servant girl's report is only about the girl's boudoir, and has nothing to do with this falling into the water."

His face remained unchanged, his tone calm.

Xiao Yihan stared at her, his face was expressionless immediately, and there was a deep meaning in his eyes.This person... seems to have seen it somewhere?
"That's all." The queen mother sighed lightly, and looked at Xiao Yihan beside her, "Everyone is dead, but it's okay to say."

"Yes." The woman accepted the order, bowed her head and said, "Xie Si Miss, she is not a perfect body anymore."

what? !

All the people present gasped, they never thought that Xie Yingying, who was usually so innocent, turned out to be so rebellious.

"You don't want to talk nonsense..." Xie Minmin's lips turned white at this time, and her heart almost missed half a beat.

God knows!The day before yesterday, she also mentioned to the Empress Dowager that she wanted to bring Xie Yingying into the palace to enrich the harem for the Holy Majesty, so as to enrich her own wings.

Now it is pointed out that the sister whom he recommended is not a virgin.

This is a serious crime of deceiving the emperor!
The Empress Dowager gave her a serious look, and the cold eyes poured out, causing Xie Minmin's spine to feel chills, as if falling into an ice abyss.

She took a deep breath in her heart, today's events flashed through her mind quickly, the reason why she made such a big move just now was because she thought she could take this opportunity to bring down Lu Wanlan, and then suppress the Lu family.

After all, it was the youngest daughter of the Xie family who died, so even if I acted a bit out of line, the Queen Mother would always take into account the face of her father and brother, and be considerate of her momentary recklessness.

But now, this woman not only produced evidence, but also put such a big hat on Xie Yingying!
If the stalemate continues at this time, I am afraid that not only will I not get the support of the Queen Mother, but I will also threaten my hard-earned stable position.

The Empress Dowager pursed her lips and thought for a moment, recalling what everyone said just now, like going through needles to connect the fragments at that time.

This Xie family is the old ministry given to Yan Wang Xiao Yanzhi by the late emperor, so Grand Tutor Xie naturally hoped that his daughter would also follow Yan Wang.She originally thought that Xie Yingying hated Lu Wanlan because of her yearning for Xiao Yanzhi.

But how can you lose your loyalty if you yearn for others?From this point of view, this incident became confusing again.

However, fortunately, Xie Yingying had an accident today, otherwise, if she really entered the harem, wouldn't the emperor become a big joke!

"Have you checked carefully?" The queen mother frowned, and her anger was revealed.

"The servant girl has tested the jade bodies of countless palace concubines, so she will definitely not be wrong."

After hearing this, the queen mother had a gloomy face.

At this moment, Xiao Yanzhi walked out of the apse holding Lu Wanlan, who had already healed the wound and was slowly waking up.

Before he could speak, that dark blue figure rushed into Xie Minmin's eyes.This was the first time she saw Xiao Yanzhi since the farewell seven years ago.

But looking at his frowning brows and the tenderness in his eyes, it was all given to Lu Wanlan.

Her heart suddenly seemed to be tightly held by someone, her silver teeth were almost gnawed, and the tears rolled around her eyes, but they still didn't fall out.

Xiao Yanzhi was about to kneel down to salute, but was stopped by the queen mother: "Excuse me, give me a seat."

"Thank you, Empress Dowager." After sitting down, he still didn't feel relaxed about the little man in his arms, "I see that the princess is fine, so I came here to pay my respects to the empress, but the princess is injured, and her leg disease recurred after falling into the water. It is really inconvenient to salute. , I also ask your empress to forgive me."

"It's okay."

Seeing that Lu Wanlan's face was as white as a sheet of paper, huddled into a ball feebly, the corners of the Empress Dowager's eyes twitched.

If it was really her who pushed someone into the water, it wouldn't be worth taking most of his life.

Her weakness is so palpable that she doesn't need to say or do anything.The witnesses and physical evidence at this time are enough to shake the queen mother's mind.

But how could the scheming Queen Mother take the initiative to judge who is right and who is wrong?
Xie Yingying has already made a big mistake, but the Xie family's aristocratic family needs face after all.It wouldn't look good if she was really accused of an attempted murder but committed on her own.

Everyone present did not dare to make a sound.

Xie Minmin has been struggling in the palace for many years, how could she not understand the Queen Mother's thoughts?
Now is not the time to head-to-head. For the present plan, we can only suffer from this dumbness first.She was the first to break the silence: "Empress Dowager, this concubine is guilty."

"What is the crime of Concubine Xie?" Obviously, the Empress Dowager's tone softened.

Concubine Xie kowtowed: "It's all because of my concubine's arrogance and indulgence of my little sister in the past, which made her lose her sense of restraint when playing with Princess Yan. I think my little sister must have accidentally seriously injured the princess."

Unintentional?Frolicking?
Lu Wanlan, who was silent, sneered while listening to Xiao Yanzhi's strong heartbeat.This Concubine Xie is really a ruthless character, not only knows current affairs quite well, but also can justify herself so well.

"Now that she has paid the price, please don't pursue it any further." After speaking, she buried her head in her arms.

The Queen Mother sighed: "Don't be too sad..."

As night fell, in the Xiuluan Pavilion of Changchun Palace, Xie Minmin's face was ashen.

She sat fixedly in front of the mirror, looking at her own appearance in the bronze mirror.

The scene of Xiao Yanzhi walking past her indifferently just now still reverberates in her mind, unable to get rid of it.

Lang's heart is like iron, and sure enough, he has never been in love with himself.

The court lady Zhi Yuan beside her also secretly wiped her tears for the death of the Fourth Miss.

Seeing that Xie Minmin had no expression on his face, he said, "Tell them that the salty cloth can be sold to him, but on one condition."

"Kill her."
