Tuan Chong Guai Guai: The whole family can listen to my voice

In the Qianqing Palace, Lin Qiming's eyes were filled with sorrow. He knelt down and kowtowed heavily on the ground, saying sadly, "Your Majesty, please find out the truth!"

The emperor sat on the throne and sighed after hearing this, "Lin Aiqing, I know that you have just experienced the pain of losing your daughter, and you can't accept it for a while. However, the fire in Changqing Palace was indeed sudden and the palace maid did not keep her guard. The furnace room is not the cause, as you said, someone is plotting to kill Lin Baoer."

"Your Majesty, most furnace rooms are equipped with fire protection devices. Even if a fire breaks out, it will only burn down the furnace room at most. In any case, it is impossible to burn down the entire palace without everyone noticing. This is really strange."

Lin Zhiyu said in a deep voice and looked at the emperor with burning eyes, "Besides, isn't it strange that not one of the palace maids and guards noticed such a big fire?"

"Besides, Bao'er has always been smart. She would definitely run away after discovering the fire, but why didn't she come out even though the palace maids ran out?"

"Why didn't the palace maid on night duty call Bao'er to escape together?"

"Even if the fire is strong, some fire insulation materials still cannot burn. Why are even the plants and trees in the Changqing Palace hidden in the sea of ​​flames?"

With each question, Lin Zhiyu's tone became heavier, until finally, his tone was trembling, "Bao'er is not just a three-year-old child, she is the treasure of our Lin family and our dearest person, sir." I didn’t want her to die in such an unclear way.”

No matter how you look at this matter, someone did it intentionally. Otherwise, based on Lin Baoer's ability alone, she would never have taken the initiative to stay in the Changqing Palace and wait for death.

Unfortunately, all the evidence was burned away in a fire, so they had to forcefully let the emperor make the decision.

The emperor was unhappy after being questioned repeatedly, but when he heard his last sentence, he sighed deeply again.

"It is said that the maid on night duty at that time, the female official of the Changqing Palace, and Lin Baoer's personal maid came in to answer the question."

Not long after, Cuiyun, Qiqing and Qinglian walked in.

"See Your Majesty!"

The three of them were kneeling on the ground, all trembling with fear.

"Who is the maid on night duty?" the emperor said solemnly.

Cuiyun raised her head tremblingly and said, "Your Majesty, I am a slave."

"What happened that night?"

Cuiyun kowtows: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I was too tired that night, so I accidentally took a nap. When I woke up again, I saw that the whole palace was on fire. Maybe I had never experienced such a scene before, so I forgot about it. Go in first and call the fourth girl, then run out and call someone to put out the fire..."

"How can you forget someone as big as Lin Baoer?" The emperor frowned and got angry, "What do you do for food!"

"Your Majesty, calm down! Your Majesty, calm down! This slave is too anxious..." Cuiyun was so anxious that she was incoherent. "When my slave brought people in to look for the fourth girl, I found that she was missing. I thought she was not in the palace. She saw the fire. When you get bigger, get out quickly..."

"You're lying!" Lin Ruqian couldn't bear it, "Where is Bao'er not in the palace in the middle of the night?! Is it possible that a three-year-old child ran out to play at night?! Besides, if she went out, wouldn't you palace maids know about it? ?!”

Cuiyun sobbed and defended, "I don't know either...I just didn't find the fourth girl at that time, and I don't know what I was thinking. I thought she might not be in the palace..."

Lin Ruqian was so angry that he wanted to say something, but was stopped by Lin Mobai.

The emperor pursed his lips and asked Qiqing, "Has Lin Baoer ever gone out?"

Qi Qing shook her head: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the fourth girl has never left the Changqing Palace since dinner. The maid on duty also said that she never saw the fourth girl go out."

"What about you?" The emperor looked at Qinglian with a headache, "Why weren't you with Lin Bao'er that night? As her personal maid, you were brought from the Lin Mansion, shouldn't you always be by her side?"

Qinglian sobbed twice and shook her head with choked sobs, "At that time, I happened to go to the clothing bureau to get the fourth lady's clothes, so I was not in the palace. I never thought that after I came back, I would... just..."

She blamed herself and sobbed, her eyes filled with guilt.

If she hadn't gone to get the clothes, would Lin Baoer not have been buried in the fire?
Hearing this, the emperor sighed and looked at Lin Qiming and others, "Lin Aiqing, look, there is no conspiracy, it's all accidents. I know what you are thinking, but now the Changqing Palace is in ruins, are you looking for something else?" No evidence can be found." "I will naturally make the decision for you. These palace ladies involved should die to apologize. As for the rest..."

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! You are wronged, Your Majesty! I am wronged!" Cuiyun kept kowtowing to beg for mercy, while Qi Qing also kowtowed heavily to beg for mercy.

Everyone in the Lin family looked grave, completely unable to accept this result.

Lin Qiming clenched his fists, his eyes changed several times, and finally turned cold, and he was about to speak.

At this moment, outside the Qianqing Palace, a woman's voice was so sharp that it attracted everyone's attention.

"Master Lin! Your Majesty! I have something to say!"

"Master Lin!"

"His Majesty!"

The emperor frowned in displeasure, "Who is making so much noise?"

The eunuch outside the door said: "She is the maid of Changqing Palace!"

Everyone present had different expressions.

"Your Majesty, can you please come in?" Lin Zhiyu said.

After a while, the emperor nodded, "Bring her in."

A palace maid with a gray face came in. As soon as she came in, she knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Your Majesty! I have something to say!"

"explain."

"I remember that the queen's maid gave the fourth girl a bowl of ginseng soup that night. Sister Qinglian was not in the palace at that time, so it was sister Cuiyun who received it and fed it to the fourth girl herself."

Everyone was shocked.

"What do you mean?!" Lin Zhiyu asked, "What is ginseng soup? Why didn't you mention it just now?"

He questioned Cuiyun and Qiqing.

Cuiyun quickly explained, "Reply to Your Majesty! The Queen did send someone to deliver the ginseng soup that day. Because Qinglian was not here, the slave brought it to the fourth girl."

"My slave knows that the four girls have the habit of testing the poison in their food, so in front of everyone, I used a silver needle to test the poison in the ginseng soup. Only after it found no problem did I serve it to the four girls."

"Everyone can see it!"

"Then why didn't you say anything just now?" Lin Zhiyu asked.

"I...I forgot when I got nervous...and it has nothing to do with the fire..." Cuiyun hesitated.

When Qi Qing heard this, she nodded in agreement, "Indeed, we all saw it."

"But why did you stop me when I wanted to go in and save the fourth girl?" The palace maid asked angrily, and kowtowed to the emperor. "When the fire started, the slaves asked where the fourth girl was, and they all said I don’t know, so the slaves wanted to go in to look for it, but they stopped them halfway, saying that the fire was strong and it was dangerous to go in..."

"But it was clear that we could be saved at that time!"
