Donggong Zhangjiao

The direction of things started to become interesting. Fang Yun, who had no interest at first, started to look between Wanbi and Lan Liangyuan.

Old things are brought up again, old crimes are committed again.

Is it because Lan Liangyuan failed to harm others and was caught by Wanbi's trick, or was Wanbi using the Sixth Princess to avenge Lan Liangyuan's previous plot?

While thinking about it, Yuetao, the concubine's maid, had already gone out to find someone.

Not long after, a thin little palace maid who looked to be only thirteen or fourteen years old was brought in.

"Slave Xiaoying, please pay your respects to the Emperor!"

Hearing this, Fang Yun calmly took a look at Pei Yao's face, and saw that his eyes were filled with coldness.

Gee, no one likes to have trouble in their back house all the time, especially Pei Yao.

"What do you know? Tell me."

The queen also noticed Pei Yao's displeasure, so she spoke on his behalf.

The palace maid named Xiaoying immediately kowtowed.

"The servant learned from Rong Xiu, Qiu Baolin's dowry girl in the cold palace, that during the draft, Lan Liangyuan bribed the palace maid to smear medicated powder that can cause rashes on people's skin on Qiu Baolin's pillow to disfigure her. But Qiu Baolin, who came back to pick up the things, saw it. However, Qiu Baolin did not report it at that time. Instead, after the little palace maid left, he exchanged his pillow with another beautiful lady, because everything used by the beautiful lady was... It’s the same as providing it to the palace, so it wasn’t discovered.”

"You don't want to slander anyone. The Queen sent people to investigate the case. You can just slander me. Are you trying to say that the Queen's investigation of the case was unfair?!"

Lan Liangyuan immediately scolded.

Xiaoying, who was not very young, was immediately frightened and shivered.

Upon seeing this, Wanbi immediately came to Xiaoying's side and retorted loudly.

"Don't think about criticizing others. Previously, you slandered me for feeding the Sixth Princess a soothing soup. It was already a design to deceive the emperor. Now you are trying to make excuses again. The emperor and the empress are kind-hearted and have deceived you for a long time. This time I The palace is going to reveal your true face!"

After saying this, he turned to look at Pei Yao and the Queen, bowed and said.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty, as far as I know, Qiu Baolin has been relegated to the cold palace, but her dowry maid Rongxiu is still alive, but was sentenced to hard labor. You can call her to testify."

As soon as he heard this, Fang Yun wanted to laugh in his heart.

Come prepared.

First, they brought out the witness Xiaoying and said that Lan Liangyuan had harmed people with medicinal powder before, so it was reasonable for Lan Liangyuan to commit another crime this time. Then they also inquired about Rongxiu's whereabouts so that they could find the person and help Xiaoying. Ying’s words bear witness.

But Fang Yun calmly closed his eyes and spoke softly.

"Wanbi is anxious, and I can see it. However, these witnesses are all Qiu Baolin's people, and they naturally speak more towards Qiu Baolin. Even if it can barely prove that it was Lan Liangyuan who murdered Qiu Baolin during the draft, he failed and was killed instead." Qiu Baolin took advantage of it and harmed the beautiful girl next to him, but it can't prove that today's Lily Porridge incident must be Lan Liangyuan's fault."

When he said this, there was a rush of footsteps at the door.

Everyone's eyes immediately turned to the door, and they saw Xu Liangyuan coming in with an anxious face, followed by Song Bin.

After the two of them saluted together, Song Concubine walked to the empty seat next to her and sat down. Xu Liangyuan, on the other hand, quickly walked to the kneeling Lan Liangyuan and knelt down as well.

"Your Majesty is aware that Concubine Wan has always disliked Sister Lan. She always made things difficult for her. I can testify. Last year, Sister Lan exposed Wan Concubine for mistreating the Sixth Princess. Concubine Wan was punished and grounded, and the Sixth Princess was also taken away. Concubine Wan has been holding a grudge for a long time, and today it may be Concubine Wan who is planning to frame Sister Lan!"

After she finished speaking, Lan Liangyuan's eyes turned red and she followed.

"Your Majesty, just as the imperial concubine said, even if I made a mistake during the draft, it does not prove that it was me who did it again this time. Moreover, Concubine Wan said that when I was a beautiful girl, she poisoned other beautiful girls. The witnesses are all people around Qiu Baolin, and Qiu Baolin does not have a good relationship with his concubine. How can you believe the words of the people around her? It is impossible for Qiu Baolin to kill two birds with one stone, eliminate his competitors, and then pretend to be The victim has been cleared of suspicion, and now that Qiu Baolin has made a mistake and is imprisoned, she is so crazy that she wants to take her concubine to die with her, it is unknown!" Listening to Lan Liangyuan's words, Fang Yong narrowed his eyes and thought to himself My mind is spinning pretty fast.

Previously, he saw Lan Liangyuan was anxious and could not catch the loopholes in Wanbi's words, so Fang Yun gave a warning.

How can one party be defeated so quickly? If Lan Liangyuan falls, only Xu Liangyuan will be left, and Luo Cainu, who has not been favored so far and has long been forgotten, will not have anyone left to fight with her. , not long after, he was about to come to Fang Yun.

After all, even if she doesn't have much love, Concubine Wan is raising the sixth princess and her family background is good. If she endures it for a long time, she will definitely be named a concubine soon.

Fang Yun didn't like her and didn't want to see her so happy.

Who can like a man who instigates others to kill his own children with smallpox?

Although the person who was infected with smallpox was the second princess, Fang Yun knew that Concubine Wan's original intention was to come to the fourth prince or her.

Fang Yun didn't mention it these years, but that doesn't mean he doesn't care about it.

But helping Lan Liangyuan does not mean that Fang Yun will help to the end. He just silently adds fuel to the fire in this matter.

Pei Yao doesn't like the women in the harem fighting back and forth. No matter who loses or wins, he doesn't like it in his heart. In this case, let them fight harder, so that Pei Yao doesn't like them all. That would save trouble.

If this side is weak, give it a hand; if that side is weak, pull it.

This was what Fang Yun meant when he took the initiative to mention in front of Pei Yao that he asked Wanbi to take the sixth princess back and raise her.

The two of them have some fights, but at this stage, Pei Yao is worried about their family backgrounds and won't do anything to them.

Sure enough, after Lan Liangyuan said these words, Pei Yao said in a deep voice.

"The old things from back then were still about the guilty woman Qiu. I don't want to hear about it anymore. Today I'm here to talk about the poison in the lily porridge and whether the Sixth Princess was innocent. Don't talk about that anymore."

This was not only an appropriate way of mitigating Lan Liangyuan's crime and paving the way for less severe punishments in the future, but it was also because the Queen had investigated the case of Xiu Nu's disfigurement, and now the old case was brought up again, and there was also a hidden secret. Wouldn't it embarrass the queen?

So after saying this, Pei Yao said to Hong Zhengdao again.

"Whose residence was this found just now? Take it down for interrogation. Also, everyone who has come into contact with this bowl of lily porridge, whether they were serving Wanbi or Lan Liangyuan, will all be interrogated. "

When Pei Yao spoke, naturally no one dared to say anything more. Lan Liangyuan could only watch as the dowry girl Zhaoxia was pulled out.

Fortunately, Yuetao who was beside Wanbi was also brought for interrogation, which made Lan Liangyuan feel more balanced.

Xu Liangyuan knelt on the ground with Lan Liangyuan, held her hand, and silently comforted her, showing a true sisterly affection.

Pei Yao glanced at the two of them and said lightly, "Xu Liangyuan has nothing to do with this matter, get up first."

Xu Liangyuan originally wanted to say something, but Fang Yun added another sentence.

"If Lan Liangyuan was wrongly accused, the Emperor and the Queen will find out on their own. Xu Liangyuan should know better."

Hearing this, Xu Liangyuan nodded, stood up, and was helped by the maid to sit down next to her.

Xu's character is not bad, and Pei Yao doesn't dislike her. Fang Yun is just giving some advice to the newcomers in front of Pei Yao to show his kindness.

But everyone didn't wait long before Hong Zheng came back.
