Abandoned Concubine's Promotion

Chapter 394
The people from Shangyifang sent a total of six pieces of clothes, each of which was checked carefully by Xia Qianluo. After checking the first five pieces, Xia Qianluo nodded at Zisu who was following her. With the last one, Xia Qianluo frowned.

"Bring the scissors here." Turning her head to look at Zisu, Xia Qianluo opened her mouth to order, and Zisu responded, fetched the scissors, and handed them to Xia Qianluo.

Su Qingyan looked at Xia Qianluo, she understood that there must be something wrong with the clothes, that's why Xia Qianluo was like this, but she didn't know, what was the mystery behind the clothes?
The little maid holding the clothes had an ugly expression on her face. After all, the clothes were in her hands, and she was very afraid, afraid of implicating herself because of the clothes.

"Imperial concubine?" Holding the scissors in her hands, Xia Qianluo turned to look at Su Qingyan. Su Qingyan nodded, signaling her to do what she wanted.

With Su Qingyan's permission, Xia Qianluo used scissors to cut off the collar and cuffs of the clothes. She returned the scissors to Zisu, and tore the cut place with her hands.

A good piece of clothing suddenly became fragmented, but no one felt distressed, because after the clothes were torn, everyone present took a breath of air.

In the torn collar and collar, there are a few shining silver needles hidden. One can imagine what it would be like if the clothes were worn on the body?
Xia Qianluo didn't expect that there would be silver needles hidden in the collar and cuffs, she just vaguely felt something was wrong, so she took the clothes apart.

Holding the needle with her clothes, Xia Qianluo sniffed it up to her nose, and then said again, "This needle is poisonous."

"Zisu..." After Xia Qianluo finished speaking, Su Qingyan looked at Zisu and gave orders in a cold tone. Zisu immediately understood, and after saluting, she quickly walked out of the hall.

"The imperial concubine, please forgive me, the imperial concubine, please forgive me, the servants don't know anything, please forgive the servants!" There was something wrong with the clothes she was holding, and the little palace lady's face was ashen. Such a thing.

The little palace lady knelt down, and the rest of the people also knelt down, and a little palace maid bravely said to Su Qingyan, "I want to report to the imperial concubine, my servant... I am willing to vouch for her that she definitely did not harm the imperial concubine." What the empress means, the slaves and maidservants have taken their clothes and come to Guanju Palace, she has no time to do anything."

Anyone with a discerning eye would know that these needles were hidden in the clothes when they were making the clothes, so the little maid holding the clothes really had no chance to do it.

"Get up." She said in a calm tone. Although she was angry, Su Qingyan was not the kind of person who didn't know right from wrong. Of course, she understood that the little maid was only implicated, and this matter had nothing to do with her.

"Which embroiderers made my clothes?" Su Qingyan asked, looking at the begging little maid.

"As for Concubine Huichen, your clothes were made for you by the three best embroiderers in Shangyifang." They are all in Shangyifang, and the little maid knows about such things.

After hearing the little maid's words, Su Qingyan nodded. She looked at the ruined clothes in the tray, and a cold light flashed in her eyes.

Soon, the three embroidered ladies in Shangyifang were escorted back to Guanju Palace by Zisu's order. The three of them knelt down on the ground as soon as they entered the main hall.

"You three, do you know why I asked you to come here?" Her gaze skipped over the three of them, and Su Qingyan's words could not be heard with joy or anger, but the more so, the more nervous the three of them felt .

"The imperial concubine, the servants don't know anything!" As soon as Su Qingyan finished speaking, the embroidered lady immediately spoke up, kowtowing at Su Qingyan non-stop.

Seeing Xiuniang like this, Su Qingyan raised her eyebrows, and ordered Zisu, "Show them the clothes."

In response, Zisu picked up the clothes from the tray and threw them in front of the three embroiderers, "Hurry up and tell me the truth, who made this clothes? And who instructed you?"

It's impossible for a mere embroiderer to do such a thing for no reason, so there must be someone instigated behind this matter.

"My lord, forgive me, my lord, my servants really don't know anything!" Xiu Niang, who had spoken before, looked at the clothes on the ground and couldn't help shivering. She spoke again and kowtowed to Su Qingyan to beg for mercy. .

"You two, don't you know?" Su Qingyan ignored Xiu Niang's pleading, she looked at the other two Xiu Niang who were silent, and asked.

"The imperial concubine's question, why don't you just ask the truth? Do you want to send you all to the Punishment Department before you speak?" Jin Momo stepped forward and shouted sharply. The two embroidered ladies couldn't help but look at each other. Take a step forward together.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. The servants are willing to invite you for the truth. Please forgive me." This matter has nothing to do with them. Naturally, they don't want to be implicated. They didn't say anything before because when they were making clothes, the two Have received benefits.

"Whether you forgive or not depends on your performance. Now that things have happened, do you still think that you have the room to negotiate?" After the two embroidered ladies finished speaking, Nanny Jin immediately spoke, her words were still so severe.

Nanny Jin's words made the two of them show fear on their faces. They didn't dare to hide anything, and quickly told everything they knew.

"I report to the imperial concubine, that dress was made by Feng Xiuniang, and the rest of the clothes were made by slaves and Li Xiuniang." It was Liu Xiuniang who spoke, and she knew that at this time, all she had to say was honestly. Only by coming out, it is possible not to be implicated, and to save life.

"The reason why the servants were hesitant just now is because before that, the servants accepted Feng Xiuniang's benefits." Li Xiuniang said with caution in her words.

"Benefits? Why did she give you benefits, tell me!" With her eyes widened, Nanny Jin changed her usual kindness and continued to ask Liu Xiuniang and Li Xiuniang.

"Mama forgive me, but the servants don't know. At that time, the cloth was brought back to Shangyifang. Because the three servants are the best embroiderers, the cloth was distributed to the three servants."

"A few bolts of cloth can be used to make six sets of clothes. There are three slaves and two sets of clothes for each of them. Normally, the slaves and Li Xiuniang like to work together, so after receiving the cloth, they went to the slaves' room."

"Unexpectedly, when the evening was approaching, Feng Xiuniang came to the servant girl's room, gave the servant girl and Li Xiuniang a pair of silver bracelets, and begged the servant girl to help her make a set of clothes."

"It's the servants who didn't open their eyes. They only had two silver bracelets, so the servants agreed to Feng Xiuniang's request. At that time, the servants thought that it was just a set of clothes. If they were more expensive, they could still be made."

"The slaves and servants never thought that this Feng Xiuniang would be so bold that she wanted to harm the imperial concubine, please forgive her!"
