The sturdy peasant daughter's belly black Xianggong comes to farm

Chapter 981 New Year's Eve 10
"Drop something? Did you drop something near Jingyang Palace? When did you need to detour to Jingyang Palace when you came into the palace?"

The emperor looked at the eldest princess suspiciously, and basically didn't believe what the eldest princess said.

The eldest princess panicked for a moment, and said with a smile: "Brother, who in the palace doesn't know that the scenery in Jingyang Palace is the best. Didn't I want to go there to see the scenery? Later, when I walked outside Jingyang Palace, I thought of King Jin. He didn't like other people entering his bedroom, so he left quickly, presumably he dropped an earring there at that time, and asked Minghui to pick it up."

"There are so many court ladies and eunuchs in the palace. You don't let them pick them up, but let your precious daughter pick them up. Would you be willing to let your precious daughter do such a thing?"

The emperor continued to question.

The eldest princess's expression froze. She didn't expect that the emperor, who had always loved her so much before, would doubt what she said. She didn't know how to explain it for a while.

At this time, Cai Minghui said calmly, "Your Majesty, it's because only Cao Min remembers what mother's earrings look like, so only Cao Min can find them when they look for them."

"That's right, that earring was given to me by Ming Hui, and only she knows what that earring looks like best, so she can only go and look for it."

The eldest princess quickly agreed.

What the eldest princess said to Cai Minghui seemed to be reasonable, the emperor hadn't thought of a new point of doubt, and the eunuch outside came in to spread the word.

"Your Majesty, there are new discoveries."

A guard came over with a box of matches.

"Your Majesty, this box was found in Jingyang Palace. I tried it just now and found that it was used to make a fire. I think it was the thing that caused the fire."

"matches?"

The emperor recognized this thing, it was made by Su Limo and used when lighting fireworks for them, but how could this thing be in Jingyang Palace, he asked Ling Moxuan: "You and Xiaomo brought this over there?"

Ling Moxuan shook his head: "No, Xiaomo brought a total of ten boxes of matches into the palace, and put them all there just now."

"Then how did this match get into Jingyang Palace?"

The emperor was puzzled, and then said: "But the arsonist took it there?"

"Father, my son has something to say."

Ling Moxuan put Su Limo's hand under the quilt, stood up, and said to the emperor.

"You say it."

"Yes, what I want to say is that if the person who set the fire brought the match, then this person must be among us, because only we have the chance to touch those matches, so just ask During the fireworks, it doesn’t matter who is not present.”

As soon as Ling Moxuan finished speaking, Zhou Tianyu immediately said: "I just checked it out on purpose just now, except for Jin Wang and Chang'an County Lord, only that Cai Minghui is not present."

"It seems to be like this. The Ai family took a look just now, and it seems that Cai Minghui is not here."

The Queen Mother also followed suit.

When she said there was a fire just now, she took a special look to see if her children were in danger, but she saw that Cai Minghui and Ling Moxuan were not there.

Thinking that Cai Minghui might be the one who set the fire, the Empress Dowager looked at Cai Minghui with a lot of indifference.

Originally, she still treated Cai Minghui as her own granddaughter, so she allowed the eldest princess to bring her into the palace, but if it was really Cai Minghui who set the fire, she would treat her as if she did not have such a granddaughter.

Anyway, she has many grandchildren and granddaughters, so there is no shortage of this one.

"Cai Minghui, did you take matches to Jingyang Palace just now?"

All the evidence points to Cai Minghui, and Cai Minghui has also appeared near Jingyang Palace, the emperor put his suspicion on her again.

As if knowing that Cai Minghui would definitely deny it, Ling Moxuan said: "Those who have used matches just now can see if their fingers are dirty."

Everyone didn't understand why Ling Moxuan asked them to see if his fingers were dirty at this time, but they still followed what he said, raised their fingers to look, and found that there were some black spots on them.

"Because there was some black gunpowder on the matches. When they were put in the box, Zong Hui more or less covered the sticks. When you used the sticks to light the fire, your hands would be dirty. Cai Minghui said she Just now I went to find something for the eldest princess, and I didn't play with fireworks, so there should be nothing on my hands. You can go and see if Cai Minghui's hands are clean. If they are dirty, then it means that she has touched them. The match, she lit the fire in Jingyang Palace."

After hearing Ling Moxuan's explanation, everyone suddenly realized.

It was because of that.

The emperor immediately asked someone to check Cai Minghui's hand, because it was so sudden that Cai Minghui didn't have time to absorb it. When he rushed past the person checking her palm and turned over her palm, he suddenly saw her hand playing with other people. People who cross matches are the same.

"Come here, drag Cai Minghui out and put him in prison."

The emperor was furious.

He tolerated Cai Minghui again and again, but he didn't expect her to be so cruel that she wanted to burn his son to death. He couldn't tolerate her any longer.

Not only the emperor couldn't bear it, but the queen mother and queen couldn't bear it either. They watched the imperial army suppress Cai Minghui indifferently. Even if the eldest princess was begging for mercy, they didn't seem to hear it.

"Master, why do you still pretend to be unconscious? Even if you are not unconscious, the emperor knows that Cai Minghui set the fire, and he will not let her go."

In the space, Xiaobai was a little puzzled by Su Limo's actions. He didn't know why Su Limo pretended to be unconscious.

"What do you know, if I'm not in a coma, the emperor will at most let Cai Minghui be locked in a prison for a few days and then released, but now that I'm in a coma, Cai Minghui almost killed someone, the emperor Even if we don't want her life, we will lock her up for at least a year and a half, then I can be clean for a while in this year and a half."

This is the purpose of her pretending to be in a coma. To make Cai Minghui more serious, she needs to make things worse. The bigger the trouble, the heavier the punishment for Cai Minghui.

Xiaobai was stunned, and at the same time felt that Cai Minghui deserved what she did. Who made her heart so vicious that she wanted to burn its owner to death?

After Cai Minghui was taken away, it took two hours for Su Limo to wake up leisurely. These two hours were enough for the emperor to develop his hatred of Cai Minghui to the maximum.

……

They rushed back to Zhuangzi before dark. In the carriage, Zhou Tianyu and the others were very happy when they mentioned Cai Minghui's imprisonment.

"That Cai Minghui really deserves it..."
