"Who knows what you have in mind." Fang Ruyi was indignant, "I'm afraid you stole this purse."

Lian'er argued, "How could this servant do such a thing? This is just because this servant accidentally bumped into her and was afraid in her heart, so she dared to report it to the empress. I also ask the empress to look into it."

"Which night did you meet Lady Ye and the guards privately?" Ye Sijin asked.

"Slave." Lian Er thought for a while, "I saw it when I went to pour water two nights ago. The Zhongjing Palace is remote, and there is no one to come and go at night. It just so happened that the slave saw Officer Ye and the guard. "

"What a coincidence for you." Ye Sijin said, "Generally, there are two eunuchs and two maids on duty in uninhabited palaces, and you are the only one who sees it?"

"Returning to the empress, everyone else had already rested at that time, and only the servants went to pour water by themselves." Lian'er said.

"Miss Ye, what were you doing two nights ago?" Ye Sijin asked.

"Return to the empress's words." Ye Qiao said, "Two days ago, the ministers went to Wen'an Hall to sort out the imperial documents, and they came back late. It was too late that day, and the lady Fang even took the ministers back with them."

"Empress, my servant can prove it." Fang Ruyi knelt down, "Ms. Ye has been working hard, and she never rests from morning to night every day. She is devoted to sharing the worries of the empress. How could she do such dirty things in the palace? Please also ask the empress to pay attention."

"Miss Fang is Miss Ye's cousin, so your words are naturally untrustworthy," Lian Er said.

Ye Sijin smiled coldly, "You little lady-in-waiting understands everything very well, even the fact that Miss Fang is Miss Ye's cousin."

Lian'er hastily kowtowed, "Your Majesty, this servant also heard from the people in the palace that Lady Ye had a cousin who also entered the palace. I just heard Lady Ye calling her Miss Fang, so I thought so. The servant dare not lie."

Fourteen strode in, "Empress, my subordinates have questioned all the other maids and eunuchs in Zhongjing Palace. They all felt sleepy after dinner, so they fell asleep early. Someone saw Lian Er going out to pour water."

"Did you fall asleep after dinner?" Ye Sijin asked.

"Yes." Fourteen said, "This is quite strange, why is Lian'er the only one who did not sleep, and everyone else happened to have a rest together."

"Perhaps it was because they were tired from work that day, so they went to bed early. The servants were not feeling well in the morning. They helped the servants with the work, and the servants were grateful. When they got better at night, they wanted to help them pour dirty water at the gate of the palace. Otherwise, there will be no eunuchs to pick it up tomorrow morning, making the palace dirty, and the mother in charge will punish when she sees it." Lian'er said.

The dirty water in the palace is not allowed to be dumped indiscriminately. In the past, the masters were afraid that the dirty water would pollute the taste of the palaces, so they ordered the maids to put it not far from the gate of the palace. Handled by the eunuch.

Fourteen asked, "Then did you see Lady Ye as soon as you opened the palace door, or was it somewhere else?"

"As soon as the servant put the dirty water not far from the gate of the palace, I saw two figures faintly in Changle Lane over there. The servant walked over and saw Lady Ye and the guard hugging each other. The servant frightened I jumped and felt a little scared, but fortunately, Lady Ye and the guards left after a while, and the servant saw something on the ground, so she went to pick it up, and it was this purse." Lian Er said.

"You are quite courageous. Ordinary people would be startled when they see two figures in such a dark sky. How dare you step forward to see clearly? Are you afraid of being discovered by them?" Fourteen said.

"The servant didn't think that much." Lian Er said.

"Then can you see that the two of them walked separately? Or did they walk together?"

Lian Er thought for a while, "It seems that they left separately."

"Which way?"

"One to the north and one to the west."

"Who goes north and who goes west?" Fourteen continued to ask.

Lian Er hesitated, "The guard goes north, and Miss Ye goes west."

"Going west is about to leave the palace. Is Miss Ye going out of the palace at night?"

"No, no, maybe it's going to the north, it's too dark for the servants to see clearly." Lian'er said.

"You can see two figures clearly, one is Lady Ye and the other is a guard, and you can see something on the ground, why can't you even remember whether it is north or west?" Fourteen asked.

Lian Er argued, "That night when I saw Lady Ye and the guard, I felt flustered, I don't remember clearly."

Fourteen held up the purse, "You can see it clearly for a while, and then say you can't see it clearly. You said that it vaguely looks like Miss Ye, and you only identified it as Miss Ye through the purse. Then how did you determine that this purse belonged to Miss Ye? Gong There are so many people here, there are quite a few people with the word Joe."

"Miss Ye was wearing women's attire that day, and her purse fell to the ground again." Lian Er said, "The servants have also inquired that among the female officials, only Miss Ye has the word Qiao in their name, so I identified it."

"It seems that you are very concerned about Miss Ye." Fourteen said.

Liu Lu came at this time, and whispered to Ye Sijin, the second prince was crying again, and even the nanny couldn't coax him.

Ye Sijin is usually used to being close to them, Xu just woke up and saw that he was gone, so he started crying.

"Fourteen, you continue to interrogate me on behalf of the palace." Ye Sijin said.

Fourteen replied, "Yes, empress."

Ye Sijin went to the back of the hall, and as soon as he entered the door, he heard the loud cry of the second brother. As expected, the eldest brother next to him bared his lips and was very happy, and he didn't know what kind of character these two brothers had.

She picked up Ye Huaiyu, and stopped crying immediately. Ye Huaijin over there saw that her mother was only holding her second child, and she was about to cry.

"." Ye Sijin wanted to hold one in each hand, but he didn't have so much strength. "It was sent by God to torture me."

Ye Sijin can be regarded as coaxing the two little guys well, Ye Sijin let the nanny and the maids watch carefully, there is still something about Ye Qiao waiting for her.

"Liu Lu, I ask you, are all the court ladies literate?" Ye Sijin asked suddenly.

Liu Lu shook her head, "The rules in the palace do not allow court ladies to be literate, but it's not clear whether they can read or not before entering the palace."

Ye Sijin asked Liu Lu to take a good look at the two children, and she went back to the hall. Before she went, she ordered Yiliu to investigate who Lianer had been with recently and her family background.

Shisi has always been the best at this aspect, and he has already got Lian Er involved with a few words, but Lian Er is not letting go, crying, which is really annoying.

Ye Qiao also tried her best to prove her innocence. She didn't understand why this Lian'er had to frame her, and she had no grievances or enmities with her.

Fang Ruyi was also in a hurry. She didn't know where this little palace lady got her cousin's purse.
