Chapter 70 Framing
Sitting in Chuxiu Palace and waiting for others, it was extremely quiet, and some gossip was inevitable.

The queen asked with concern: "Gu Zhangshu has been in the palace for a few days, but he is still used to it. If there is something wrong, you can send someone to Qingning Palace, and this palace will make decisions for you."

"Thank you for your concern. Everything is fine." Chang Sheng smiled, and his tone was calm.

There was still unused food on the table, Concubine Xian glanced at it, and her face turned cold.The emperor really treated Gu Changsheng as an upright princess and raised him in the palace. This kind of behavior doesn't look like a female official.

People from the Punishment Department came quickly, but unexpectedly, it was Pei Zixu who came.

He was wearing an official robe, and he had obviously joined the Dali Temple, but how could he come here in such a leisurely way to care about such a trivial matter.

After Pei Zixu saw the ceremony, the queen asked in surprise, "Why did Mr. Pei come here?"

"The emperor was chatting with the officials outside, and happened to see the Punishment Department passing by." Pei Zixu glanced at Chang Sheng, and said respectfully: "The emperor asked the officials to come and have a look."

Concubine Xian pinched her hands tightly, and said with a smile on her face: "Such a trivial matter, I will trouble Mrs. Pei."

"Can someone who knows the story of the theft of the bracelet tell it from the beginning to the end." Pei Zixu didn't say much, and directly named the subject.

Qingcha settled down, knelt on the ground, and recalled, "The thing is like this..."

……

It was still daylight, and the maids had to get up.After washing up, Qingcha and Dai'er cleaned up in the yard.In half an hour, they have to learn the rules. Aunt Xin's teaching is strict, and they can't eat well or sleep well these days.

Thinking about gritting his teeth and holding on, after learning the rules in the palace, he can serve Changsheng by his side.

"Stand up for me!" Aunt Xin tried her best to hold the bamboo board, and slapped it on the table, making her flesh hurt.

More than a dozen court ladies stood up together, with their heads down, not daring to take a breath.

Xinghua, the big palace maid next to Aunt Xin, said sternly, "Aunt Xin lost a pair of jasper bracelets early in the morning, whoever's hands and feet are dirty, stand up for yourself! Otherwise, you will find out later, and the crime will be aggravated!"

All the court ladies were trembling, lest it would affect themselves, everyone knew how terrible Aunt Xin's methods were.

Qingcha and Dai'er didn't feel anything wrong, after all, they were innocent, even if Aunt Xin got angry, they wouldn't be implicated.

"It seems that no one has admitted it..." Aunt Xin's eyes were like knives, slashing across everyone's bodies, and her tone changed fiercely: "Then search for me one by one!"

The accommodation conditions of the court ladies are quite average, four people share a room, and two people sleep in a common bunk.There were only a few rooms in total, who would have thought that Xinghua went straight to Qingcha and Daier's room, and took out a pair of jasper bracelets in a short time.

"Auntie, I found this from under Qingcha's pillow." Xinghua said proudly, "Last night, only Qingcha and Dai'er went to your room."

Qingcha was stunned, and hurriedly explained: "Auntie, Dai'er and I went to your room yesterday, but we didn't touch your things!"

"Yeah, we just cleaned it!" Dai'er's expression also changed.

But Aunt Xin couldn't help but shouted angrily: "You two little bastards, if you don't show your color, you won't know the heights of heaven and earth. How dare you steal in this Chuxiu Palace. It's impossible to treat the palace like a neighbor!"

In this way, Aunt Xin punished Qingcha and Dai'er to kneel on the ground and punished them with bamboo boards.

……

"Who is Xinghua?" Before Pei Zixu could speak, Chang Sheng spoke.

A slightly older court lady knelt down, "This servant is Xinghua."

Chang Sheng sneered and said, "Qingcha and Dai'er's room is in the most remote room, you don't search the first room, and you don't search the room closest to you, why did you just go to their room!"

Xinghua's heart flickered, and she quickly calmed down and said, "That's because last night, only the two of them went to my aunt's room, so the servants naturally suspected them first."

"It makes sense." Chang Sheng turned around her and asked back: "So, you searched Qingcha's pillow as soon as you entered, and when you opened the pillow, you saw the bracelet under the pillow?"

Hearing Chang Sheng's question so carefully, Pei Zixu suddenly figured out something, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, Chang Sheng's thoughts were really delicate.

Xinghua said swearingly: "Of course, the servant searched very carefully. When I found the green tea pillow, I happened to see it from under her pillow."

Changsheng smiled, looked around and asked slowly: "Empress Empress, Empress Xianfei, Mr. Pei, you can hear Xinghua's answer clearly."

"Naturally." The empress said majestically: "If there is someone deliberately blaming Qingcha and Dai'er for disrupting the palace regulations, the palace will punish it severely!"

Changsheng stared at Xinghua and slowly asked: "Then let me ask you, what color is Qingcha's pillow?"

Xinghua's eyes were filled with joy, and she quickly said, "It's blue."

Naturally, Xinghua knew about the blue pillowcases that the court ladies used uniformly.

"Then let me ask you again, what else is there besides the bracelet under Qingcha's pillow!" Chang Sheng asked sharply.

Xinghua panicked immediately, her eyes flickered, and she faltered and said: "I didn't... didn't look carefully."

The queen already understood when she heard this, and said in a voice: "Qin Yun, go and have a look."

"Yes, empress." Qin Yun looked happy, and immediately went to Qingcha's room.

Not long after, Qin Yun came out with a purse, "Niang Niang, I got it under the green tea pillow."

There are flowers and plants in the purse to soothe the nerves, Changsheng is afraid that the two maids will come to the palace, and he will not be able to sleep well at night.Before coming here, I specially asked the doctor to match it, and put the two of them under the pillow every night.

"Put such a big purse under the pillow, you're going to be blind!" The queen's face darkened, and she said angrily, "I'll give you another chance to say, who ordered you to frame Qingcha! Otherwise, Ben The palace will give you a foot of red immediately!"

"Yes...it's Aunt Xin." Seeing that the matter had been revealed, Xinghua said tremblingly, "Aunt Xin said that she wanted to teach them a lesson, so she called the slave over last night and gave the bracelet to the slave."

"Woooooo..." Aunt Xin wanted to beat Xinghua excitedly, but was held down by two eunuchs with sharp eyes and quick hands.Her face was swollen like a steamed bun, she couldn't even close her mouth, she was drooling when she opened her mouth, it was really disgusting.

"Come here, take the two of you to the Punishment Division!" The queen looked disgusted.

But Chang Sheng said unhurriedly: "Empress Empress, don't worry."

The queen raised her hand, signaling them to move later, and asked with a smile, "Changsheng, if you have something to say, it's okay to say it."
