Don't help me, I can sit up by myself

Meng Yuzhu insisted that Du just stole people: "I reported that Du Changzai had an affair with others and defiled the palace. He deserves to be punished. I use the lives of the entire clan as a guarantee and ask the emperor to severely punish Du Changzai."

The emperor thought silently: I am not blind.

Du Jiyan said: "Your Majesty, please come with me."

Du Jiyan was dressed in green, like a flower bud in the middle of the night, walking along the corridor.

The concubines followed behind, neatly and orderly.

Concubine: "Ms. Du made such a mistake, all the sisters saw it, and she still dared to speak harshly. She really didn't repent even when she was about to die."

Tian Lingyue: "Sister Du has been favored by the emperor since she entered the palace. Perhaps she was so arrogant that she forgot the palace rules. Sister Du didn't do it on purpose, right?"

Queen: "Du Changzai has already said that the person holding her is not a man, but a woman. Concubine Tian promises that you two should not talk nonsense."

The emperor walked at the front with his hands tied, and Du Jiyan followed behind him.

The emperor deliberately took two steps slowly and waited for Du Jiyan to come forward. Then he held Du Jiyan's hand and pretended to be indifferent: "Du Changzai, you said that the person holding you is not a man?"

"Your Majesty is wise and mighty, that is a woman."

"Oh, oh, it turns out you like women."

Du Jiyan

Your Majesty, your reading comprehension skills are incomparable.

The emperor strode ahead, his posture like a bean sprout that can't be broken: "So, Mrs. Du, are you being hypocritical and submissive to me? Are we all fake?"

"No, Your Majesty, I am sincere to you."

"Oh, oh, oh, do you, Mrs. Du, cater to both men and women? In that case, Mrs. Du, you are really well-rounded and have a wide range of hobbies."

Du Jiyan broke away from the emperor's hand. What was this man talking about?

The emperor was obviously a little angry: "Don't you even give me an explanation?"

"What explanation does the Emperor want?"

"Tsk, tsk, you see, you are too lazy to deal with me. No wonder every time you go to the Taihe Palace to serve me, you are so anxious and want to run away. It turns out that the beautiful lady has an appointment, and I am in the way."

The emperor was very angry, and the others followed to watch the excitement.

Du Jiyan also secretly felt unlucky.

Go back to Wanru Palace properly, and Cheng Yaojin comes out halfway.

It’s okay that the imperial concubine and Tian Lingyue want to kill her. After all, they are not always on good terms with these two people. But Your Majesty, you are the emperor. You have the majesty and means, vision and mind of the emperor. Look at what you said. I've been picking and choosing but I can't find a good one.

After walking for a while and passing the Imperial Garden, Du Jiyan headed towards Wanru Hall.

Everyone is confused.

Logically speaking, Du Changzai should catch the adulterer to prove his innocence, right? Why do you want to go back to Wanru Palace?

Du Jiyan naturally understood that all the evidence was in Wanru Palace.

"The leader, Du Changzai, said that she was a woman. He even knew where the clothes were hidden. Why does Du Changzai want to go back to Wanru Hall now? Is it possible that he was talking big words to delay time?" Imperial Concubine Meng Yuzhu walked a few steps quickly. , holding the emperor's arm.

"Haven't you heard that the most dangerous place is the safest? The person who tried to kill me is now hiding in Wanru Hall. Now let's go to Wanru Hall to have a look, and the truth will come to light." Du Jiyan was confident. .

Without that pomegranate monitoring, it would all be in vain.

Looking for people at night is like looking for a needle in a haystack. What evidence can a weak woman like her find?

It was different with surveillance. She could really see people coming in and out of Wanru Hall.

Two secret guards landed at the entrance of Wanru Hall, the daggers in their hands still bleeding.

"What's going on?" the emperor asked.

"That man was familiar with the terrain and was very skilled in climbing over walls and walls. We followed closely and the dagger thrown cut his calf."

That is to say, whoever's calf is injured in the palace is most likely to be a bad person.

check.

Let’s start with Wanru Hall.

The servants of Wanru Palace quickly gathered together.

The eunuchs headed by Nijo and the maids headed by Papaya stood in the corridor one after another, lifting their trousers slightly, but no one had any injuries to their calves.

"Du Changzai, what do you say?" Concubine Meng Yuzhu raised her lips.

"Is everyone here?" the emperor asked.

"Your Majesty, everyone is here except for the sick sister Xiaowu who is lying in the room." Erjou replied.

When she heard that Xiao Wu was ill, the Queen felt a little distressed: "Xiao Wu was always strong when he was in Jingren Palace, but he just couldn't bear the wind. Could it be that he is acclimated to the climate in Wanru Palace?"

Everyone rushed to the room where Xiao Wu lived. The room was pitch dark and she couldn't see her fingers. Because the window paper was thickly papered, her room was dark even on such a cold night. Everyone knows that she can't stand the wind and gets headaches easily, so they are used to it.

Erjo turned on the lamp, but found that Xiaowu was not in bed.

There was movement in the small kitchen.

When everyone rushed to the small kitchen, herring and tofu soup was cooking on the stove.

The herring and tofu soup is steaming hot in the casserole, with chopped green onion and shredded ginger floating on top.

Xiaowu put on a pink coat and stood in front of the stove staring at the soup.

The herring and tofu soup was rolling in the casserole. Xiao Wu held up the casserole with a towel as a cushion. The group of people who suddenly came in seemed to frighten her. She loosened the towel in her hand, and the casserole burned her hands and fell down. The herring and tofu soup spilled out and was boiling hot. The soup spilled on her body, and Xiaowu fell to the ground in pain and covered her legs.

The queen's heart tightened.

The emperor frowned.

Xiaowu wanted to salute everyone, but struggled but could not stand up. She could only lie on the ground and make a weak voice: "Seeing that Du Changzai has not come back, I thought that Du Changzai might not have eaten dinner, and was afraid that Du Changzai would be hungry." It happened that the two pigs had brought back the herring, so the slave made herring and tofu soup, thinking that Du Chang would be able to drink it when he came back. However, the slave was clumsy and could not do this job well, so he spilled the soup in front of the masters. If you lose your composure, please be punished by your masters.”

"When Xiaowu was in Jingren Palace, she often served soup. She was very considerate to me. She made soup even though she was sick. Please be merciful to the emperor." The queen interceded for Xiaowu and asked Guiyuan to go back to Jingren Palace to get scald medicine.

"Lift up Xiaowu's trousers and take a look." Du Jiyan's voice was cold.

This surprised everyone. Du Jiyan had always been kind to people, but he had never been so inhumane and cold to the slaves at the lower level.

Even Tian Lingyue couldn't stand it anymore: "Sister Du, Xiaowu serves her sister carefully. She does everything for her sister in every word and deed. She is thinking about making soup for her sister so late at night. Now she is burned. Isn't it her responsibility? Would you like to call the imperial doctor to take a look first? In our palace, there is no example of treating servants harshly."

Er Tiao was loyal to Du Jiyan.

Anyway, Du Yanyan would pick off the pants of anyone he said he wanted to.

Although he felt that Xiao Wu was a good person, now he could only lift up Xiao Wu's pants.

Xiaowu's legs were bloody and bloody under the trousers.　　　　Red, white, fleshy and bloody.

After all, it is piping hot herring and tofu soup, poured directly onto the legs, as you can imagine.

Xiao Wu's face turned pale and she almost fainted.

The emperor looked on coldly.

The imperial concubine Meng Yuzhu couldn't stand it: "Although this slave is not from Changle Palace, Du Changzai is too ruthless to his servants. Look at the burns on her legs. Could it be that Du Changzai suspects that she is a bad person?"

"It's not doubt, it's certainty."

"Du Changzai, don't make false claims. This slave girl was given to you by the Queen. When she was in Jingren Palace, she served you considerately and thoughtfully. Now that she's in Wanru Palace, Du Changzai calls her a bad person? Isn't it because of Du Changzai? Changzai is caught stealing and has no way to protect himself, so why not just grab a slave to take the blame?"

Xiaowu's face became thinner and paler, and she leaned in front of Meng Yuzhu with trembling lips: "Du Changzai is very good to this slave, please don't blame her. If Du Changzai offends your concubine for some reason, please show your respect." , if you really can't tolerate it, I'm willing to accept any punishment for Du Changzai. It doesn't matter even if I take my life."

Xiaowu's statement made the Queen's eyes turn red.

I still remember the heavy snowfall that year. The Empress was scolded in the Cining Palace because she had never been favored. After three hours of scolding, she didn't get enough. On the way back to Jingren Palace, she felt dizzy and almost fell down. It was Xiaowu, the slave. Braving the severe cold, frost and snow, he carried the Queen on his back all the way back to Jingren Palace.

The queen was deeply impressed by the deep footprints in the snow. That time when she went back, Xiaowu had a high fever for three days.

Du Jiyan also felt that Xiaowu's scene was quite good. Not even inferior to Meng Yuzhu and Tian Lingyue.

At first, the queen sent her to Wanru Hall to serve her, and she was indeed very attentive. She took care of all the affairs of the palace, big and small, and took care of everything, saving Du Jiyan a lot of trouble.

Even in the small kitchen, Xiaowu studied carefully, and she could master those recipes in the shortest time.

If she showed any flaws, she really didn't.

She is diligent, considerate to Du Jiyan, and tolerant and friendly to the eunuchs and maids.

She was tolerant and kind to even that nectarine who always made mistakes.

The bad thing is that Du Jianyan has surveillance.

Although the monitoring is not very clear, the monitoring will not deceive people.

Du Jiyan passed by Pomegranate and clearly saw Xiaowu wearing pale clothes jumping back to Wanru Hall from the roof. Because the Pomegranate surveillance camera was on the roof, when Xiaowu passed by, the Pomegranate surveillance camera was still there for her. Taking a close-up, Du Jiyan could see the facial features clearly.

It was Xiao Wu who pretended to be Cui Zhen and caused misunderstandings. She just wanted to accuse Du Jiyan of stealing. If the crime was found guilty, not only would Du Jiyan die, but Cui Zhen would also die without a burial place. This was a plan that killed two birds with one stone. Very vicious.

Xiao Wu would definitely not admit it.

Only Du Jiyan can watch the surveillance.

Everyone spoke highly of Xiaowu, and even the Queen felt that Xiaowu was loyal and reliable.

Punishing Xiaowu is making everyone an enemy.

How to let everyone see Xiaowu's true face?

Du Jiyan had already made preparations: "Er Tiao, turn off the lights in the small kitchen."

After the lights in the small kitchen went out, it was suddenly plunged into darkness.

In the darkness, Xiaowu's body glowed with lavender fluorescence. This lavender fluorescence is like the appearance of the morning glow, faint and shining, but uninterrupted.

When the lights came on again, everyone saw clearly that there was a lot of lavender powder on Xiaowu's white shoes.

Xiaowu quickly took off her shoes, but it was already too late. On her way back, there were more or less these powders. The moonlight was very good this night. Under the moonlight, these powders shone like scattered stars. .

The fluorite powder scattered along the way gathered into a luminous line.

The traces of Xiaowu can be seen at a glance.

The palace was haunted last time, and Du Jiyan knew that someone wanted to use the ghosts and gods to cause trouble.

Just in case something unexpected happened, she first bought fluorite powder in the system.

If there is no trace of the ghost, then the fluorite powder will be useless.

If he is pretending to be a ghost, fluorite powder can make him reveal his true colors.

Of course Xiaowu didn't know that when she hugged Du Jiyan tightly, Du Jiyan quietly took out fluorite powder from his sleeve and sprinkled it on her shoes.

"Pretending to be my cousin Cui Zhen, I sprinkled fluorite powder on her shoes. Xiao Wu, you ran all this way, and although you escaped the hidden guards, the fluorite powder along the way cannot fool anyone. If you don't believe it, You can follow this lavender fluorite powder to go out and have a look. The fluorite powder can't lie, it records Xiaowu's movements tonight."

Looking outside, sure enough, outside the small kitchen, under the flowers on the fence of Wanru Hall, there were traces of lavender, which should be the scattered fluorite powder. This lavender line went up the palace and then down the palace wall, extending along the long corridor, which was exactly the direction everyone came from.

Xiao Wu refused to admit it: "Du Changzai, please don't frame me. I don't know why there is fluorite powder on my shoes. I was framed."

Meng Yuzhu looked at the fluorite powder and said: "The fluorite powder can't speak. It's hard to guarantee that it's not evidence that Du Changzai is framed by others. No one in the palace knows that Du Changzai has many evil intentions. If everyone can believe it, , the person who had a private meeting with you tonight is none other than Xiaowu, then please Du Changzai to provide evidence. I remember that the person was wearing gray clothes, Xiaowu was wearing pink clothes, obviously not. "

"That pale shirt is in the small kitchen." Du Jiyan said calmly.

Du Jiyan has a permanent position, but his position is not high, so the small kitchen is not big.

In addition to two stoves, two cases, a large cabinet, three or five iron pots, and a few casserole boilers, that's all.

The large cabinet was opened, and inside there was a basket of washed herring, two baskets of eggs, some celery and other items, but no clothes.

"Du Chang is here, where are those blue clothes?" Meng Yuzhu sneered.

Of course Du Jiyan didn't know where he was.

Xiao Wu went to her bedroom, and because there was a secret guard following her, she was afraid of being exposed, so she hurriedly carried her clothes to the kitchen. She obviously wanted to make soup for Du Jiyan, but she secretly burned the clothes.

There was no surveillance in the small kitchen, so Du Jiyan couldn't see where Xiaowu hid the clothes.

But if you look carefully, she will definitely find a way to burn it to prevent exposure.

Stove chamber.

Du Jiyan took a look into the stove, and sure enough, there were pale clothes stuffed inside. There were a lot of blood stains on the clothes. It should be the blood from being injured by the secret guard when he escaped back.

unambiguous evidence.

There was an imperceptible smile on the emperor's lips.

It seems that Du Changchang had a misunderstanding with the man outside the private meeting. It seems that Du Changchang still loves him.

The emperor winked at Gao Rang, and Gao Rang decisively went to search Xiao Wu's body.

A mask fell out from under the pink clothes, which was exactly what the person before was wearing.

It seems that the person who had a private meeting with Du Jiyan was Xiaowu.

Xiaowu pretends to be Cui Zhen, but finally reveals her flaws.

Gao Rang hugged the fly whisk and said softly: "Xiao Wu, now you tell the truth, the emperor is kind and can spare your life. If there are any lies, you may suffer a lot. Tell me, who instigated it? your?"
