After rebirth, I became the white moonlight of Hunjun

Chapter 24 Thorough investigation of rumors
  Why don't you follow the routine?

This is too unkind!
  Lin Zhiyu is really a mute who eats Coptis chinensis and cannot express his suffering.

On the other side, Lin Minghua saw that Zhou Tingchen had no intention of blaming himself, and he felt happy and also advised:

"If you expose yourself more, it's better for my sister to go back and rest first. I will definitely deal with those who gossip!"

It was already midnight. After such an incident, Zhou Tingchen's face inevitably looked a little tired.

"Eunuch Zhang, please send Miss Lin back to Weiyang Palace to have a good rest. This matter will be left to the Queen."

Eunuch Zhang responded repeatedly.

By tomorrow, the matter of leaving the palace may be over.

Seeing that he was just one step away from leaving the palace, Lin Zhiyu wanted to say something more in an attempt to make Zhou Tingchen change his mind, but the guards on the side stood neatly behind him and said in repeated voices:

"Please Miss Lin return to the palace to rest."

Moral kidnapping, right?

Lin Zhiyu cursed Zhou Tingchen more than eight hundred times in his heart.

"Big girl, please."

Eunuch Zhang turned sideways to make way for Lin Zhiyu.

Lin Zhiyu had no choice but to know that there was no room for change in this matter at least tonight, so he had no choice but to follow Eunuch Zhang and return to Weiyang Palace honestly.

The harem is only that big, and the rumors only spread for a day. If you follow the clues, it is easy to find the source.

Early the next morning, people came to Kunning Palace.

"Miss, the person behind this has been found. Please move to Kunning Palace."

Because Lin Zhiyu's plan to leave the palace failed, her dream was disturbed early in the morning, and she felt really irritable.

Lin Zhiyu had a stinky face all the way to the entrance of Kunning Palace.

In Kunning Palace, Lin Minghua was sitting in the middle, with a large number of people kneeling underneath, trembling with fear and not daring to raise their heads.

What Lin Zhiyu didn't expect was that Jiang Wanning would also come.

"Just judge the prisoner. It doesn't matter if you call me here."

Jiang Wanning also looked worried, especially when her eyes fell on the peony jade in the hall, she even snorted softly.

Lin Minghua pretended not to notice Jiang Wanning's little move, and acted like a queen:

"Of course it's because today's events are related to Concubine Ling."

"Don't just pretend that you are the queen and just spit on others here!"

Like a cat whose tail was stepped on, Jiang Wanning slapped the armrest of the chair and said angrily.

"If you don't want others to know, you have to do nothing yourself."

Lin Minghua looked like he was sure of winning, "Ruyi, let's talk about it."

The little palace maid named Ruyi knelt half down and whispered:

"The day before yesterday, Aunt Yunzhu, who was by Concubine Ling's side, came to my slave and asked her to say bad things about the elder girl in various places in the palace. I was so excited about the money that I agreed."

Lin Zhiyu took a look and realized that this Ruyi was the little palace maid next to Wei Shuyi that day?
  She clearly remembered that Wei Shuyi was on Jiang Wanning's side.

Could it be said that after rebirth in this life, many things have been changed invisibly?

Yunzhu on the side subconsciously denied:

"You're talking nonsense! I don't know you at all, how can I give you instructions?"

Ruyi took out a purse from his sleeve and said, "I have this as proof."

"This purse looks familiar. It is indeed the one Aunt Yunzhu often carries."

I don't know who it was, but whispered something in the crowd.

Yunzhu quickly denied: "This is not my slave's! I always carry my purse with me!"

After saying that, she touched her waist, but found nothing.

Yunzhu's face turned pale and he was so frightened that he couldn't stand still: "H-How could it be possible? He was still there even in the morning! You must have stolen it and wanted to frame Concubine Ling!"

"Presumptuous!" Lin Minghua slammed the table and shouted: "The witnesses and material evidence are all there, what else do you have to say?"

"The Emperor has arrived——"

Eunuch Zhang's voice came from outside the door.

Jiang Wanning was startled, stood up suddenly, and looked out the door.

She never expected that Lin Minghua would actually invite Zhou Tingchen over. This was a clear intention to embarrass her in front of Zhou Tingchen.

Zhou Tingchen crossed the crowd and sat next to Lin Minghua.

"Your Majesty! This purse does not belong to this slave!"

Yunzhu cried out again and again.

"One moment you said it was stolen, and the other moment you said the purse was not yours, it's so vague and suspicious."

"Come here, drag this bitch slave to the Criminal Punishment Department. I won't believe it because she won't tell the truth!"

Lin Minghua raised his hand to let Yunzhu be taken down.

Lin Zhiyu remained silent.

In the last life, she had a few fights with Jiang Wanning. Although she was careless, she didn't leave such obvious flaws.

I'm afraid that Lin Minghua had prepared this so-called evidence early in the morning.

Regardless of whether Jiang Wanning did this or not, she will pin this crime on her.

"The Queen, it would be too arbitrary to conclude that Yunzhu did this just based on an unknown purse."

Jiang Wanning reacted quickly and stopped the eunuchs with a loud voice.

"Yunzhu's purse is here in this palace."

Jiang Wanning took out an identical purse from her sleeves with a very arrogant attitude.

Fortunately, she accidentally saw Yunzhu's purse two days ago and had it made exactly the same. Otherwise, Lin Minghua, a bitch, would have succeeded today.

Lin Minghua's eyes were filled with surprise. She had obviously sent someone to steal this purse this morning. Where could she find a second identical purse?

Without waiting for Lin Minghua to answer, Jiang Wanning said again:

"I have heard a little about the rumors in this palace, and I thought that the eldest girl is the queen's biological sister, so I didn't dare to let it go. After careful investigation, I actually heard a quite interesting story."

As soon as he finished speaking, an older palace man was brought in by several eunuchs.

Lin Zhiyu's breath froze when he saw the face of the visitor clearly. It turned out to be Aunt Chang!

"Mommy, please tell me exactly what happened yesterday, and I can save your life."

Aunt Chang glanced at Lin Zhiyu carefully, then lay on the ground and stammered about what happened yesterday.

"Yesterday, the old slave met Miss Xiao Lian at the inner management office. She said that the elder girl has often been talking about how the Third Prince is not as talented as the Emperor, regrets getting engaged, etc. At that time, there were also several little palace ladies nearby, who could help The old slave testifies."

Lin Zhiyu glanced at Zhou Tingchen's reaction. The latter squinted his eyes slightly, looking quite interested, which made him feel a little strange.

Why does he seem to be quite useful?
  "A woman's reputation is the most important thing. The young lady has not yet left the cabinet, how could she make fun of this so easily!"

Lin Xiaolian retorted.

"The queen must be jealous that I have taken away her right to manage the harem, so she and Lin Zhiyu teamed up to frame me and ruin my impression in front of the emperor!"

Jiang Wan Ning said it with certainty.

"Xiaolian, what did you tell grandma that day?"

Lin Zhiyu was calm and unhurried.

"To your Majesty and the Queen, yesterday on the way to the internal management office, I heard someone criticizing the young lady. As for the matter of regretting the marriage, which was mentioned by the nanny, that is absolutely not true. The reason why the emperor was mentioned was Because I was worried that the Queen would be wronged in the palace, I said a few more words."

For some reason, when Zhou Tingchen heard this, his brows that had just been relaxed wrinkled again.

Jiang Wanning sneered.

"It's just a one-sided statement, but you should provide evidence."
