The concubine is soft and delicate, making her the treacherous minister's white moonlight

Chapter 134 If you were slandered, you might not be as rational as me
Tao Hong walked forward and knelt down with a plop. "Your servant pays respect to the emperor. Long live the emperor."

Gongshu Yanyu seemed a little impatient with this ridiculous farce, but since it was a matter of royal dignity, he still patiently asked, "Are you Miss Jiang's personal maid?"

Tao Hong nodded respectfully: "Yes."

Gongshu Yanyu then asked: "What is your daughter like on a daily basis? Tell me the truth. If you tell even a single lie, I will make you lose your head."

Under the emperor's majesty, Taohong shrank her neck in fear. Lin Mowan couldn't help but tense up and concentrate on what Taohong was about to say.

"Your Majesty," Taohong lowered her head, looking extremely terrified, "My young lady is usually quite kind, but... I often see Sister Yuzhi guarding the door in the middle of the night, not allowing anyone to approach. Even if someone's sight makes me prepare something, they will be stopped outside and not allowed to enter. It's as if... it's as if the young lady is not the only one inside."

The more she spoke, the softer her voice became, and the lower her head was, her words were clever, and although they did not directly accuse Lin Mowan of her crime, they were extremely thought-provoking.

At the same time, Lin Mowan also roughly deduced that she probably didn't really see anyone entering and leaving her room, but was just making guesses based on these phenomena.

Thinking of this, the big stone hanging in Lin Mowan's heart slowly fell down, and she was secretly happy. Fortunately, Shen Weiyuan was vigilant enough, otherwise today, it would not only be her, Lin Mowan, who would be in trouble, but he would also be ruined.

After Taohong finished speaking, Lin Mowan suddenly sneered: "How ridiculous! Just because of this, you assert that I have a secret affair with His Royal Highness Prince Guangning? Taohong, you are so bold!"

When she said this, the look she gave Taohong was filled with grief. She was kind to the servants, not only when she was in Ziteng Garden, but also in the Jiang family. She had never treated any servant badly and always gave them generous rewards.

Tao Hong glanced at the person kneeling beside her with a guilty conscience, frowned, and said sternly: "I didn't say that. I just told your Majesty everything I saw and heard. Why is Miss Lin so excited? Could it be true as Madam said?"

Lin Mowan calmed down instantly after hearing this, and even spoke with more confidence. She said, "Why should I be excited? Is it glorious to have an affair with someone? If you were slandered, you probably wouldn't be as rational as me."

"Taohong, I think I treated you well. You have everything that Yuzhi has, but why do you want to throw dirty water on me and ruin my innocence? When did I give you less in reward money? Or did I treat you harshly in some other way?"

Listening to Lin Mowan's questioning, Gongshu Yanyu frowned even more and said slowly: "Didn't the princess say that Taohong was yours? How come she became Lin Mowan's maid again?"

As he spoke, he looked over with an inquiring and probing look. When he met Gongshu Yanyu's gaze, Gongshu Tingyue was momentarily flustered, but he also tried to adjust his mentality. He was about to open his mouth to defend himself, but Lin Mowan answered first.

Lin Mowan slightly raised her head, her tears not yet dried, looking at me with pity, she said: "Your Majesty, Taohong was not assigned to me by the Madam, but when I first entered the Jiang family, the old lady saw that I only had Yuzhi, a close maid, by my side, so she specially assigned her to my courtyard. I don't know why she became the Madam's person."

As soon as these words came out, even a fool would know what was going on. Regardless of whether this matter was true or false, just the fact that Tao Hong betrayed her master made it difficult for Gong Shu Yanyu to believe them. First of all, betrayal would not happen only once. This time she could betray Lin Mowan, and she would betray others in the future. She had even done such a thing before.

Furthermore, after the previous arguments, and Gongshu Tingyue's repeated trouble-making, all inexplicably targeting Lin Mowan, he was not unaware of Gongshu Tingyue's temper, and he even sent people to clean up the mess for her several times when she had publicly killed Jiang Wenqing's mistress.

Therefore, Gongshu Yanyu had long doubted Gongshu Tingyue's words, and once doubt was generated it was difficult to dispel.

At this time, Gongshu Tingyue also quickly realized something, and she hurriedly said: "Your Majesty! You must not be fooled by this vixen." After that, she turned her head and looked at Lin Mowan: "Let's not talk about Taohong's matter. Let me ask you, how do you explain what Taohong just said? If there is nothing unusual in your courtyard, why do you do this so frequently?"

Hearing her ask this, Lin Mowan did not feel guilty at all. To be precise, she was waiting for Gongshu Tingyue to ask this. She looked up at Gongshu Tingyue and said, "Madam, I told you the day I entered the mansion that I have been weak since childhood and have headaches."

"I don't know when this disease will break out. When it's not, I'm no different from a normal person. But when it breaks out, I'll have to endure excruciating pain. Every time this happens, I don't want to be seen by anyone. Is this wrong?"

Lin Mowan said, the grievance and despair in her eyes almost pierced through the other person. She breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at Taohong, "If you doubt me because of this, then it's really ridiculous. According to you, do I have to ask you for permission before doing anything? Who is the master and who is the servant?!"

Lin Mowan shouted at her, and Taohong was so scared that she collapsed on the ground. Her face turned pale and her lips trembled, unable to utter a word.

Seeing this, Lin Mowan turned to look at Gongshu Yanyu again, "Your Majesty, what I just said is absolutely true. If you don't believe me, you can call the imperial physician to come and see if I'm lying."

Gongshu Yanyu frowned, knowing in his heart that since she dared to say that, he would naturally not be able to add her. However, he didn't know whether it was because it concerned Gongshu's family, he was unwilling to give up so easily and hesitated to speak.

Until Gongshu Beicheng spoke up again, "Your Majesty, in my opinion, in order to prove the innocence of Miss Lin and I, why not send someone to check my whereabouts in the past few days to see if I have time to sneak into the Jiang family? Wouldn't the truth come out naturally?"

This matter had nothing to do with him, so he certainly had nothing to be afraid of. Besides, there was no need to check his whereabouts. He was with Gongshu Yanyu most of the time, so of course no one knew more about it than Gongshu Yanyu.

At this point, the field fell silent again. Gongshu Tingyue also stopped talking immediately. Her mind was working rapidly, thinking of a strategy to turn the tables. But after a while, she felt as if her back was soaked with sweat, but she couldn't think of any plan.

At this moment, Gongshu Yanyu sighed heavily with fatigue, turned around and asked Gongshu Tingyue, "What do you think? Should I summon the imperial physician?"

Gongshu Tingyue stood there in a daze, his lips opening and closing, but he could not make a single sound. After a long time, Gongshu Yanyu's eyes became sharper and sharper. He turned his head in silence and glanced at Lin Mowan who was still kneeling on the ground, and said, "You can stand up now."

Hearing this, Lin Mowan's tense heart finally relaxed. She quickly kowtowed to thank him for his grace, then slowly stood up. She did not forget to look back, and when her eyes swept across Gongshu Tingyue, she gave him a provocation that only she could see.
