The female supporting role never believes in fate

Chapter 72
"Help! Help me!"

People who fell into the water had no sense of calmness and rationality at all. At this moment, Cheng Yuguan swam up to the noble girl who fell into the water. As if she saw a life-saving straw, the noble girl pressed her limbs on Cheng Yuguan with such force that Cheng Yuguan couldn't breathe for an instant.

In an instant, Cheng Yuguan reacted, stretched out his hand and knocked the man unconscious, and the man stopped. Cheng Yuguan also had a chance to take him to the shore.

"Cheng Siwu, hurry up, grab it!"

The palace man reacted immediately, took out the bamboo pole that had been prepared long ago, and asked Cheng Yuguan to take the knocked out lady ashore.

The noble ladies exclaimed in alarm on the wooden corridor, causing the people around them to become nervous, but Cheng Yuguan was right in front of them, and it only took a moment for her to jump down and bring them ashore.

Before His Majesty and Queen intervened, the storm of falling into the water has passed.

The female officer of the Department of Siwu came to the queen first, and Cheng Yuguan had already rescued someone who fell into the water. Now, she is going to report to the queen about changing clothes in the empty room in the water pavilion.

When the empress heard this, a cold light flashed in her eyes, and then a satisfied smile appeared on her face.

I saw the empress sent away the female officer of the Siwu Department, and spoke to the emperor and many concerned ladies.

"Our Yuguan is very fond of this palace banquet, and we went to guard the side of the water pavilion just now. You said it was a coincidence, but someone fell into the water. Fortunately, I have seen the water quality of Yuguan'er last time in this Dapo Lake. Otherwise, I would not be able to sit still."

As she spoke, the Empress looked at Her Majesty with a smile on her face.

"Do you think it's strange? In the past few years, there was never such a thing in the palace banquet, but this time Yuguan was so careful, it still happened. The water ghost of emotion is also a bully."

There is a saying, "They are all foxes of a thousand years, what are they playing in Liaozhai?" Although this saying is vulgar, it is also applicable today.

The people present were all human beings, and as soon as the Empress Empress said something, they knew that it was a mistake in the palace banquet that the Empress Empress felt sorry for Cheng Yuguan, and wanted to vent her anger for Cheng Yuguan.

At that moment, someone spoke.

"Could it be a misunderstanding, whose lady fell into the water?"

The queen looked at the female officer of the Department of Justice, who stepped forward and said respectfully.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Empress, and ladies, the one who fell into the water just now is the lady of the Minister of Rites, Tang Zhi'er."

Everyone looked at Qin Shi, the wife of the Minister of Rites who was sitting behind the crowd.

The Minister of Rites is a senior official of the second grade, and his wife is also a very important person when she is out of the palace.But at the palace banquet, the super lords, in front of the old family members of Ge, are really not ranked, so they are behind Mrs. Ge's side.

At this time, Facing everyone's eyes, Qin was startled and angry, hurriedly got up from his seat, came to the center of the main hall of Linyuan Pavilion, bowed down on the ground in front of the wives and concubines, and then said, "Please allow me to visit the waterside pavilion to see my unworthy daughter."

"Hurry up, your daughter's daughter's body has an accident in the palace, it should be me, the empress, and I should apologize to you."

The Qin family became more and more terrified, fell down on the ground, and repeatedly refused, "The empress has lost her concubine."

Seeing her like this, the empress didn't say anything more, "Go, listen to what the imperial doctor has to say. Is it an accident, or is your body weak, why did you fall into the water?"

At this time, a palace banquet had come to an end, and seeing the incident, some women wanted to leave.

The empress glanced at the man, "It's nothing to leave now, the show has just begun. Everyone, don't leave, our last program today is to settle the case. I want to see who is Bao Qingtian, who can clear Yuguan of the slander."

When the queen spoke, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, not daring to move.

After the empress finished speaking, she looked at the female officer of the Siwu Department, her phoenix eyes were majestic and restrained, as if there was evil spirit in her, but when she listened carefully, it seemed to be an illusion.

"Go, bring me all the noble ladies and those who can come. I want to see how this water ghost drags people back today."

"Yes, madam!"

The female officer of the Siwu Division trembled in her heart, and turned around to call for someone in a hurry.

...

Many noble ladies came to the main hall of Linyuan Pavilion one after another. They stood in the middle, facing the majestic emperor and empress, and the wives on both sides of the table, with introverted and solemn eyebrows, a little at a loss.

"You don't need to panic, Siwusi, you take the palace servants to another room for interrogation, and you must find out who was in which direction when Miss Tang fell into the water, and who was the closest to Miss Tang. Did Miss Tang fall into the water by herself, or was someone doing it on purpose?"

As soon as the empress came out with the voice of Huoxingzi, the noble ladies were even more panicked.

Is this trying to scare the chickens and monkeys?Everyone subconsciously looked at their elders first, and then at the high-ranking empress.

"Your Majesty suspects that some of us are doing harm?"

Princess Fucheng had been in and out of the Forbidden Palace since she was a child, and she was quite close to the Empress, so she asked on the spot.

"Fucheng! Your Majesty wants to find out the truth, so just listen to me. You didn't do it, so don't show yourself."

Princess Shunjun opened her mouth, Fucheng glanced at her mother and stepped aside.

Even Princess Fucheng was devastated. At the moment, all the noble ladies dare not say another word.

At this moment, the empress smiled and looked at the field.

"Although it is difficult for an upright official to break up family affairs, a family cannot always be in peace, or it will make people sad? Today, I will teach you ladies, how to deal with such things at home in the future. Fucheng, since you have come forward, you must be full of confidence. Come, I will ask you a few questions."

Fu Cheng's complexion changed, and then he walked up to the empress with a meaningless expression.

She has a clear conscience, and the empress can just ask.

Everyone only saw Fucheng approaching, and the empress asked in a low voice.

You can hear the needles falling in the hall, but especially at this time, the sound of piercing the ears in the past seems to be silenced at this time, making it difficult to hear.

Everyone only saw the empress ask a question, and Princess Fucheng made gestures, and turned around from time to time, pointing at the ladies.

Everyone guessed that the Empress Dowager was asking Tang Zhier who was the closest and most suspicious when she fell into the water.

At the moment, the noble ladies became nervous.

At one moment, he was afraid of being seen by others, and because he was close to Tang Zhier, at the other moment, he was afraid that others would not see him. In this way, wouldn't it mean that there would be no witnesses, and people would suspect him out of thin air?
Just when everyone was worried, Princess Fucheng sat down beside her mother and concubine. Princess Fushan stepped forward, and the queen started to ask questions again.

A good palace banquet caused trouble, but the empress and empress paid so much attention to it, she wanted to use this incident to teach the ladies and noble daughters a lesson.

The queen is an example for all people. She said that she would teach everyone, but everyone could only listen and wait.

Didn't you see that even His Majesty closed his eyes and rested, didn't he feel impatient?
As the noble ladies stepped forward, everyone felt that the day was like a year. Looking to the east side of the lobby, the hourglass had passed less than a quarter of an hour.

The seconds are like years, it is really tormented.

After the elder daughter of the pavilion was also seated, "Miss Yulou", Cheng Yulou finally heard the palace servant calling his name, and Cheng Yulou stepped forward.

She unconsciously looked at Princess Fucheng, wanting to get some hints.

Do you tell the whole truth, or are you quite confused, saying that you forgot, or can you "lie"?
"Miss Yulou, don't look around, otherwise, I'm afraid you may be suspected of colluding confessions."

Behind the queen, Mei Ling said with a smile, as if joking.

But no one dared to laugh.

Cheng Yulou's mind was even more messed up by Mei Ling's talk.

She stepped forward slowly, but finally reached the Empress Empress.

Except for Princess Fucheng and Princess Fushan, all the noble ladies were questioned by Mei Ling.

"Miss Cheng, is Miss Tang your good friend? I heard that you often make appointments with associations. Everyone says that you have a very good relationship."

Mei Ling's crisp voice remembered, Cheng Yulou subconsciously denied it.

"no!"

"What I mean is that the sisters in the Poetry Club are all very close, not particularly good. We all live in Beijing and like to write poems to pass the time, so we often meet up, and there is no special intention to get along with each other."

Cheng Yulou's voice subconsciously lowered, but he didn't want to. Behind her, Fucheng and Fushan were very close, almost right behind her, and they could hear clearly.

Hearing Cheng Yulou disregarding his relationship with Tang Zhier, the two sisters couldn't help but look at each other.

People can be smart, and they can be witty, but right now, in front of the Empress, there is no room for ambiguity.

Cheng Yulou's disregard of the relationship at this time will inevitably make people feel like a villain.

Besides, Tang Zhi'er is also a bright and bright girl, and there is no shame in making friends with her.Unless there is a secret that you don't want others to know, you will subconsciously separate the relationship.

No one is stupid.

Sometimes there are some things that don't need evidence to determine who did what.

The two sisters originally thought that Tang Zhi'er was just an accident, but the empress empress forcibly made her niece stand out.

Now it seems that there is indeed a secret.

Immediately, the two looked at each other with understanding in their eyes.The impatience and anger in his eyes just subsided, and he turned his head down, looking at his nose and heart, and began to pretend to be deaf and dumb.

"When Miss Tang fell into the water, were you by Miss Tang's side? Did you see who was closest to Miss Tang?"

Mei Ling's questioning, one sentence after another, did not give people any time to think.

Cheng Yulou's heart was pounding, she could only answer subconsciously and wanted to leave quickly.

Because she was afraid that the empress and others would hear her violent heartbeat.

"I wasn't by her side. At that moment, I was stopping Fu Cheng and the others, so as not to conflict with the eldest sister. At that time, I seemed to see from the corner of my eye that Miss Bai and Tang Zhi'er were very close, as if they were whispering, and then in the blink of an eye, Miss Tang fell into the water. I only saw someone in the water after someone called for help."

Cheng Yulou answered Mei Ling's words in one breath, and Mei Ling smiled slightly after listening to Cheng Yulou who seemed a little nervous.

"Miss Cheng, don't be nervous. You are a rich girl, and we are not a court. We want to torture you, just ask a few words."

After Mei Ling finished speaking with a smile, she changed the topic, "But Princess Fucheng said just now that she saw you walking very close to Tang Zhier, and she seemed to have said something, and then Miss Tang fell into the water not long after they separated. She also said that you two seem to be very talented, and you chat very well on weekdays. It seems that the relationship between Miss Cheng's heart is not consistent with how you get along in daily life."

Cheng Yulou's heart beat faster.

"If you say a few words and say you have a good relationship, wouldn't it mean that all the noble girls in the capital have a good relationship with me? Ms. Tang and I only talked about poetry and articles, and rarely talked about things. When I talked to her just now, I just met and said hello, a few pleasantries, nothing else."

Cheng Yulou's words made Fucheng Fushan behind her couldn't help but close his eyes.

"Okay then," Mei Ling smiled, before letting go, "Miss Cheng will go back to Mrs. Chang's side to rest first. There are still a few people left, and it will be ready soon. At that time, the Empress will have her own opinion on who is right."

Cheng Yulou's heart fell to the ground, he glanced at the empress, and stepped back.

After asking the same question once, it only took a little over a quarter of an hour. After confirming each other, the empress already had some confidence in her heart.

Therefore, it is not difficult to get to the bottom of it, and it does not take much time.

The reason why everyone doesn't get to the bottom of it is not that they are afraid of trouble, but that they are afraid of trouble with the people and things behind it.

"Your Majesty, I've made it clear."

The female officer of the Siwu Department went to court and reported the result of the inquiry.

The empress opened her eyes, looked at the female officer, said in a deep voice with irreversible force, "Say."

"Let me tell you, Miss Tang happened to be noticed by someone in the palace just now. Because the banquet started, the secretary told the palace people to pay attention to abnormalities everywhere and people."

"Miss Tang is very abnormal tonight. She seems to have something on her mind and hides behind everyone. At first, the palace people thought she was unwell, so they came forward to ask. But Miss Tang is that she is fine, so don't bother the palace people."

"After that, the palace people were still worried, so they paid more attention to Miss Tang. Unexpectedly, when the ladies were talking to Cheng Siwu, Miss Tang left the crowd and stood by the water. Before the palace people could react, she fell into the water in the next second."

"During this period, the palace people clearly saw that all the noble ladies were arguing with Cheng Siwu, and no one came close to Miss Tang, let alone collided unintentionally. Moreover,"

"The railing where Miss Tang is standing has been inspected today, and there is no looseness. Therefore, the possibility of accidents has been ruled out. As for why Miss Tang fell into the water, the palace official said..."

"say what?"

Mei Ling questioned aloud, and everyone followed suit.

Everyone knows that when the drama comes, the truth about Tang Zhier's falling into the water is at this moment.

In fact, it's really not difficult to check one thing under the watchful eyes of everyone.

In particular, Cheng Yuguan arranged for a large number of palace people to pay attention to the railings of the waterside pavilion. Dozens of pairs of eyes stared at each other. They either saw it or perceived it.

Everyone stared at Siwusi's female officer with burning eyes, even the emperor stopped closing his eyes and looked at Siwusi, but among the people present, there were a few people who were very abnormal. They did not stare at Siwusi, but looked at each other.
