Chapter 73 Questioning ([-])

Hong Qiu is wearing a white dress today, her long hair is scattered, and she is dressed as if she is pleading guilty, and she is still silent.Everyone started to whisper again.

It seems that what Mao Hu and Ming Jing said just now is correct, this eldest princess is indeed a jealous person, how long has she woke up?There are already a few concubines missing in the back house of the palace, and all of them left for no apparent reason.

"Cao Huang, do you know Hong Qiu?" The regent sighed secretly when he heard the discussion.

He, the concubine, acted recklessly. If she said that she directly sent someone to beat up Hongqiu, it might be possible, but if she said that she deliberately framed her, he felt that Zhao Shuang's IQ should not be enough.

"Miss Hongqiu used to be on duty at the Habayashi Guard, and the subordinates recognized her, but they were not familiar with her." Cao Huang lowered his head and cupped his hands, unable to see the expression on his face clearly.

When Hongqiu heard Yang Xuan's question, a trace of displeasure flashed across her confident expression just now.

"My lord asks this, is he suspicious of Hongqiu?" The woman in white sneered, staring at the man in black and said, "When Hongqiu was by my lord's side, she was so loyal. You know it all too well, lord. Back then in the northern border, You have sex after drinking, and you don’t want to have other women. This servant served you all night, and afterward, Hongqiu wanted to die. You said that you would bring this servant back to the palace, so that this servant will live comfortably for the rest of his life!”

Hearing her talk about the past, Yang Xuan raised her eyebrows, pursed her lips lightly, and couldn't speak fluently, "That time in the northern border...you were just a servant, and nothing happened between me and you!"

The generals were in an uproar.

Seeing Hongqiu coming out of the big tent early that morning, and saying that she wanted to seek death, everyone thought she was given by the prince...

When Hongqiu heard this, her expression changed from embarrassment to anger.

"Hongqiu, if you are an ordinary woman, because you have deep affection for the prince, it is not impossible for the regent princess to let you do it tonight." Zhao Shuang leaned back and leaned on the back of the chair wrapped in tiger skin. , narrowing his eyes and looking at the woman in white shirt, "It's a pity that you are scheming and vicious, I can't just sit idly by."

"Princess, you imprisoned your servant for a month for no reason. The servant never said anything. Why do you still have such deep prejudices against the servant and insist on putting me to death?" Hong Qiu raised her head and looked at the person seated with resentment.

"Let's not talk about it for no reason," Zhao Shuang looked at the bonfire outside the tent when the strong wind blew it up, and she was at a loss for a moment, then quickly returned to normal and said, "You have a lot of eyes and ears in this feather guard, that's why you are here." On the day the prince came back, he made a good show of hanging himself, and took out the military badge many years ago, trying to impress the prince..."

"Princess, isn't it okay for slaves to commit suicide? The prince can't even pity slaves?" The woman in white sneered, and then looked at the man in black. His handsome face was as attractive as it was many years ago under the reflection of the bonfire. Soul, "Before you woke up, he promised me a lifetime of peace..."

"Hongqiu!" Yang Xuan interrupted her, and just as she was about to argue, she heard footsteps coming from outside the tent.

"Report to the lord and concubine, Cheng Shaoqing from Weiwei's mansion is asking to see you." Linghukong came in, and seeing the awkward atmosphere in the tent, he knew that his lord was in a bad mood, so he asked in a calm tone, "See... or not?"

"No!" The black-clothed man looked like he was about to breathe fire.

"Let him in!" Zhao Shuang winked at Linghukong, and then glanced at the people in the room, "I am the eldest princess, and if I was assassinated, it should be judged by Wei Wei's mansion."

Yang Xuan looked at the woman beside him suspiciously.Aren't she and Wei Wei Shaoqing Cheng Qian incompatible?When did we get together?

Linghu Kong didn't dare to answer, and glanced at the black-clothed coach again.

Yang Xuan hesitated for a moment, because she was nervous, she squeezed the robe on her leg tightly, "Let him in."

Could it be that during his absence, Zhao Shuang fell in love with someone else?A thought flashed across him, and he suddenly felt panicked.

"Your Majesty has seen the Regent and His Royal Highness the Concubine." Cheng Qian walked into the big tent, bowed to everyone first, and then his eyes fell on the gray-robed woman, "The assassination of the Concubine, Mother Chang came to Wei Wei's Mansion to report I am an official, and the next official is here to deal with it."

"Cheng Shaoqing, the king of this case is on trial, you can just listen to the trial." Yang Xuan winked at the soldiers beside him, and reluctantly said, "Cheng Shaoqing please sit down."

"Thank you, my lord, it's good for me to stand up and try the case." Cheng Qian didn't seem to hear what he said, walked around a few witnesses, and suddenly pointed at the soldier and said, "You are Cao Huang?"

He is wearing a dark blue official uniform today, still wearing the ancient bronze sword around his waist, and there are still a few drops of sweat on his forehead. It looks like he just rushed over from the official office.

"It's my subordinate." Cao Huang felt a little uncomfortable under his sharp eyes.

"You said that the eldest princess ordered you to pretend to be an assassin, but do you know... who was the person you injured with the iron meteor in Meifang courtyard that day?" The blue-robed man stopped pacing and stared at the square-faced soldier.

"Yes... the maids in Meifang Courtyard are listening to tea." Cao Huang glanced around, with some hesitation in his tone.

"Then I invite a few maidservants to come in, so you can identify who is listening to tea, okay?" Cheng Qian tilted his head and approached Cao Huang's face, looking into his eyes, "You have seen her before, don't you know?" Forget it so soon?"

"My lord, it's a lesson! At that time, my subordinate was on the roof. I didn't... didn't see the maid's face clearly, which is normal." Cao Huang hurriedly turned his face away to avoid his gaze.

After being asked a few words by Cheng Shaoqing, cold sweat broke out on his body.

"Oh?" the blue-robed man straightened up, and asked with his hands behind his back, "Do you know what color tiles are on the roof of Meifang Courtyard? You turned over the tiles on that roof for a long time in broad daylight, so you can't miss it, right?" ?”

"Subordinate..." Cao Huang lowered his head, and looked at the woman in white for help, "Subordinate remembers...it's green...no no, it's red, Mr. Cheng, after a month, this subordinate also remembers I don't know..."

"Green tiles are mostly used in Shangjing, and red tiles are used in Hongye Pavilion, but the tiles in Meifangyuan are white. You say you don't remember clearly, but do you remember that it has been more than five years since Hongqiu entered the palace?" Come on, do you go to Qingyu Nunnery to meet her every winter?" Cheng Qian said, and glanced at the man in black, "Should I invite Mrs. Jingyi to testify?"

All the generals in the room cast their sympathetic eyes on the regent, whose face turned slightly blue.

"Master Mingjian!" Cao Huang turned pale with fright when he heard the words, and hastily kowtowed on the ground, "My subordinates and Hong Qiu... are both disciples of Mrs. Jingyi, and they didn't meet on purpose..."

Now that the matter has come to this point, everyone already understands most of it in their hearts.

This Cao Huang is probably Hongqiu's former best friend. After she entered the palace, she still couldn't forget her love, and finally helped her to bear the crime of assassinating the princess.

Cheng Qian triumphantly bowed his hands to the man in the upper seat and said, "My lord, I have found out that it was not Cao Huang who assassinated the princess in Meifang courtyard that day, but Hong Qiu. She got the iron meteor from Cao Huang's hand." Later, he followed the princess and sneaked into the Meifang Courtyard, originally intending to kill the princess, but suddenly changed his mind and set up this cruel trick in order to lure the prince into the game."
