Chapter 161
Seeing this, Yan Ji, who was dressed as a maid standing beside the queen mother, smiled triumphantly on her red lips.

Xu Ruqing, you are dying!

It turned out that the Nine Feathers Phoenix Hairpin was not missing or stolen, but was given to her great-granddaughter by the Empress Dowager Huiwen when she left, that is, Ouyang Biqian who was just born. The second daughter, but born to the princess is the destined first daughter.Later, Ouyang Biqian also died of dystocia like a princess, and the whereabouts of the hairpin are even less known.

"My wife is terrified. I don't know where I have angered the Queen Mother. Please calm down the Queen Mother."

"I don't know why? Heh, Xu Ruqing, are you really stupid or just pretending to be stupid? Aijia will ask you again, where did you get this nine-feathered phoenix hairpin?!"

Xu Ruqing blinked innocently: "Nine-feathered phoenix hairpin? The empress dowager made a mistake, what the minister's wife gave was just an ordinary hairpin, not nine-feathered phoenix hairpin."

The creases on the Empress Dowager's hands and face visibly paused: "What?"

"The empress dowager clearly learned that the nobile hairpin presented by the minister's wife has the head of a phoenix instead of a phoenix, and the bird's tail has ten feathers instead of nine. It has nothing to do with the nine-feather phoenix hairpin that the empress dowager said."

The queen mother picked up the hairpin and looked at it carefully.

Yes, she was right, this is not Jiuyu Fengchai, but it is very similar to Jiuyu Fengchai.

The queen mother felt that she was being teased, and threw the hairpin to the ground. "Xu Ruqing, you are so brave, you dare to tease Ai's family!"

"Empress Dowager, please calm down, my wife has never seen the Nine Feathers Phoenix Chai, so how could she tease you with this matter?"

How could the two hairpins be so similar? The Queen Mother believed that Xu Ruqing was the one who made the trouble.

"Full of lies! Xu Ruqing, today is the Ai family's birthday, and the Ai family doesn't want to be violent. Tell me, should you go down to receive the punishment yourself, or should the Ai family ask someone to send you down?"

Xu Ruqing knelt down, bowed his head and lowered his eyebrows: "Nowadays, the Holy Majesty governs the country with "reasons", and the Queen Mother easily convicted me without evidence, and my wife refused to accept it."

The last four words can be said to be resounding, which really shocked all the ministers present.

Su Yichen watched the changes quietly and looked at Xu Ruqing with great interest.

"Well, you Xu Ruqing, you still want to quibble now. Well, since you said you want evidence, Aijia would like to ask how you can prove your innocence?"

"The courtier's wife is incompetent, and it's true that I can't produce any substantive evidence. But if the queen mother really wants to punish her, then she should be punished together with Yan Ji."

The Queen Mother frowned: "What's the matter with Yan Ji?"

"Did the queen mother forget that Yanji was ordered by you to go to the Wei Palace to discuss the birthday banquet with the prince a month ago, and this hairpin was made by the servant according to Yanji's wishes."

"Xu Ruqing, what nonsense are you talking about!" Seeing that the flames had spread to her, Yan Ji had no choice but to stand up and defend herself.

"Did you talk nonsense? You know it in your heart. If it wasn't your idea, then what did you go to the palace to do under the Queen Mother's order? If you didn't do anything, wouldn't you be entrusted by the Queen Mother? Yanji, you are in the Wei Palace. These days, the Japanese imperial concubine thinks she treats you kindly, but you have repeatedly provoked this concubine, and now you have even targeted the empress dowager, what should you do?"

Xu Ruqing's words are as delicate as a spring, and she can't say no to these remarks, and she won't say no.

If she admits that she was ordered by the queen mother to participate in the birthday ceremony, then she will be convicted of playing the queen mother.But if she denies it, then she has no reason to go to Wei Wang's mansion to stay for a month. When asked why, everyone must think that she is going to Su Yichen!
She is an innocent woman, but she did such a shameless thing. This is not only slapping her own face, but also the empress dowager's face!
Yan Ji came to the Empress Dowager and knelt down: "The Empress Dowager has clearly checked that Yan Ji has never done anything wrong to you. This idea was all done by Xu Ruqing alone. I clearly said that it was inappropriate to give this hairpin, but Xu Ruqing insisted on going her own way. Now she is slandering me even more, wanting to drag me into the water, Empress Dowager, you have to make the decision for me!"

"Yan Ji's status is low. Even if she tries to persuade her, she is no match for you threatening her status as a princess. This really makes sense."

"The Queen Mother's words mean that Yan Ji is innocent?"

The queen mother snorted coldly: "Xu Ruqing, it was you who said it, and you must prove it when you do things."

"Evidence...it's not easy to handle."

Xu Ruqing walked up to Yan Ji, walked around her and analyzed, "Since you can reproduce a hairpin that is very similar to the Nine-Feather Phoenix Chai, it means that you must have seen the Nine-Feather Phoenix Chai, the Nine-Feather Phoenix Chai Since it has a special meaning, you will definitely not misplace it... Benfei guesses that it must be on your body all the time, right?"

Yan Ji was angry and confused when she heard this.

What the hell is this bitch talking about?The hairpin was clearly delivered to her by herself, so why is it still on her?

Could it be...

She had a bad premonition in her heart.

"what do you want to say in the end?"

"If you really have a clear conscience, then let people do a search to see which is true and which is false, won't it be clear?"

"No!" Yan Ji refused without thinking.

She knew very well that if she was searched, even if she was white, she would become black.

"You do not dare?"

"I, I..." Yan Ji panicked, the incident happened too suddenly, it was not as she expected, and she didn't know what to do.

While everyone was hesitating, a striking voice sounded from the hall. "Do you want to continue this banquet? It's so noisy and smoky, just because of a hairpin?"

All eyes were on Ye Xiao, only to see him smiling maliciously.

"That's right, it's just a hairpin. Why do you need to mobilize the crowd to make such an ugly scene? Xu Ruqing, Ai's family has a big birthday today, do you intend to make the Ai family unhappy?!"

Xu Ruqing: "??"

Empress Dowager, didn't you start the incident first? Why is it mine now?

Before Xu Ruqing could speak, Ye Xiao said again: "I think the queen mother misunderstood what the prince meant. What I mean is that since the two of them have a rift, we can find out after a thorough search as Princess Wei said, because a It's not worth the hairpin's delay for so long."

"Queen Mother, Yan Ji really didn't lie to you. Everything was set up by Xu Ruqing to harm me. You have to believe me."

"You are really innocent, so go down with the maid to search, otherwise it will be difficult for the Ai family to explain." The queen mother looked embarrassed and said in a low voice.

"There is no need for empress dowager, this prince can help you."

The Queen Mother was wondering how Ye Xiao could help, when she suddenly saw Yan Ji Teng suspended in the air, and a powerful internal force restrained her.

Yan Ji's body was weightless and could not move, and then Ye Xiao moved her big palm lightly, and Yan Ji turned 360 degrees like a windmill, and the speed was more exciting than riding a roller coaster.

With a "click", the nine-feather phoenix hairpin fell out of Yan Ji's body.
