hot little concubine

Chapter 43 Scapegoat

Murong Jinxi said with a livid face: "Since that's the case, I will be an upright official who takes care of family affairs once. I don't know that the two concubines are convinced by this upright official who has become a monk halfway through the king. If you don't agree, you can take this king's name card to invite you." The Governor of Shengjing is here."

Ning Yanxue smiled and did not answer, but Gu Caixuan did not expect Murong Jinxi to have such an attitude. Taking just now, he clearly hinted that Ning Yanxue could be framed, even causing trouble in Guanlanyuan without authorization. They didn't deal with it, if it wasn't for rushing to deal with Ning Yanxue, Gu Caixuan would still think narcissistically that Prince Longxi was reluctant to blame herself.

After hearing Murong Jinxi's words, she said in a low voice: "The lord is Xuan'er's heaven, so Xuan'er naturally believes in the lord."

Ning Yanxue was as good as a gentleman: "Why not a concubine?" with a sad look on her face.

"Okay, whoever is next, please report your name to me."

The little girl who brought the cat lowered her head and knelt on the ground: "Go back to the lord, this servant is the cleaning girl Fei Cui of Leng Yard."

"Oh, what did you say just now that you have to make atonement for doing something wrong?"

"My lord, this servant is wrong, this servant is really wrong. This servant shouldn't be greedy for the 100 taels of silver from Concubine Ning, and hugging a black cat to bite Mother Rong's nose. This servant is really wrong. After doing this, this servant has already received retribution I beg the lord to bypass the slaves." After speaking, he kept kowtowing to Murong Jinxi.It's really a good look to correct it when you know your mistakes.

Murong Jinxi's face turned livid, and his tone became colder: "Oh, tell me, what retribution did you do?"

"The maidservant's mother went to weed the fields, but was hanged by wild wolves that came down from the mountain. The father went to the mountain to cut firewood, but he also fell from the mountain and broke a leg. Even the elder brother's sister-in-law is also giving birth to a child. At that time, the dystocia was gone. A gentleman helped the servant’s family to forget it, saying that it was because the servant angered the house god, and the house god got angry and wanted to destroy the servant’s family.” He hugged Ning Yanxue’s thigh: “Ms. Ning, I beg you, please spare the servant’s family, your matter is what the servant said, it has nothing to do with the servant’s family, the 100 taels of silver you gave to the servant is still in the box under the servant’s bed, and the servant will return it all to you, I beg you to spare the family of slaves."

"One family? Fei Cui, are you sure there is still one family left in your family?" Ning Yanxue's tone rose slightly, with a sarcasm on her face.

"Concubine Ning, what does this mean? This servant doesn't know, but this servant will never harm anyone again. Concubine Ning, you have seen the lesson of this servant. You really can't pay attention to those wild cats in the future, and you will be punished." .”

"My lord, look, Fei Cui has already said that it was this woman who killed Xuan'er's nanny." Gu Caixuan looked at Murong Jinxi eagerly.

"Concubine Xuan, please be careful with your words." Ning Yanxue didn't even call her concubine.

Murong Jinxi's complexion changed: "What kind of ghost art? If Concubine Ning wants to practice this ghost art, it will naturally be in a place where her back is quiet and not easy to be known. Where did you know it? Don't tell the truth quickly. Come, there is a half-truth, this king will let you experience the punishment of thousands of cuts."

"The maids in your yard have said that you instigated it. What kind of enmity does this concubine's mother Rong have with you? Do you want to treat her like this?" He raised his handkerchief and wiped the corners of his eyes, tears running down the corners of his eyes Rolling down: "Mother Rong, your life is so miserable, it's Xuan'er who didn't take good care of you. It's Xuan'er who is sorry for you."

"Concubine Xuan, in which courtyard can't there be two little girls who are begging for honor from their masters or even begging for glory against their masters? Little girls are ignorant, so don't concubine Xuan also understand?"

"My lord..."

It's a pity that Murong Jinxi didn't even look at Ning Yanxue, instead he looked at Gu Caixuan with a bit of hatred.

Ning Yanxue seemed to have never heard of the interaction between Murong Jinxi and Concubine Xuan, but she giggled twice: "Fei Cui, are you sure that family is really your family? Your family will be full of warehouses but let you Not enough food? Will you never show up? Will you be cruelly sold into the Longxi Palace as a servant girl without lack of money? "

Ning Yanxue's appearance didn't seem at all to be dealing with the big issue of her being wronged, but rather like watching a play, but such an unruly appearance made Murong Jinxi's heart beat twice faster.

Murong Jinxi's expression was displeased, the feeling of being out of control was beyond expectations, he just turned his gaze away, and without looking at Ning Yanxue, he said sharply, "What's going on?"

Hearing Murong Jinxi's voice, Fei Cui, who was already guilty, collapsed on the ground. She raised her head and her eyes just collided with the vicious eyes of Concubine Xuan. After all, she's just a little girl, and she hasn't seen any big scenes in the past, so she couldn't help but tremble: "Back, back, my lord..."

Ning Yanxue half-closed her eyes, she was sleepy after making troubles for most of the night, and she will go to the palace tomorrow to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday, these troublesome things that are constantly being cut and messed up are really annoying, she touched the bead string on her left hand: "My lord , Let’s say it as a concubine.”

Murong Jinxi said bluntly, "Say it."

"The parents of this girl, Fei Cui, died of the plague when she was young, and now the parents she talks about are the people who bought her after being abducted by human traffickers. There is a sick son in that family, and the fortune teller said Raising a child bride-in-law, but everyone in the village is acquaintances, everyone knows the situation of his family, no one can bear to send their daughter to be a widow, so they have to buy jadeite from human traffickers. After jadeite arrived at the family's house, the disease The son is really healed, but because of the pampering of his parents, he got into all kinds of bad habits over time. The family has also gradually declined, so he had to sell the jade into the Longxi Palace. It’s just that the vicious dog I kept killed me, and the rolling down the mountain was because it had just rained and the mountain road was muddy, Miss Jade, do you think this side concubine is right?”

Ning Yanxue bent down slightly, something flashed by in her sleeve, and no one saw it except Jade.

Fei Cui was startled, she didn't care about black cats or house gods, she kowtowed to Ning Yanxue all the time: "Concubine Ning, please spare my life, Concubine Ning, please spare my life. This servant knows I was wrong, and this servant will never dare again, please. "

Ning Yanxue frowned slightly, in this way, I am afraid that people around will feel that she has some reason to threaten this girl just now, although this is the case, it seems that this girl can't get on without pulling herself into the water Shore's thoughts, so it seems that he doesn't need to leave a way for anyone to survive.

"Come here, bring Fei Yuxiang."

"No, empress, please don't, this servant is telling the truth, this servant can say everything."

"This is the last chance. If there is anything to hide, it's time for you to see what this concubine is doing. Tell me honestly, although you will not survive, the other concubines will naturally intercede with the prince."

Fei Cui kowtowed heavily at Ning Yanxue: "Mother, I'm sorry for you." After finishing speaking, she immediately turned around and knelt down towards Murong Jinxi, with her back straightened out, perhaps because she knew her end, her voice stopped trembling : "My lord, it's all the concubine Xuan's idea that the slaves appear here."

Gu Caixuan's complexion changed: "You are talking nonsense, come, why don't you drag this thing that deceives the prince down and beat him to death with sticks."

Ning Yanxue smiled gently at Concubine Xuan and said, "Don't worry, Concubine Xuan. After she finishes speaking, she will naturally know if she has been deceived. Besides, the prince is the God of War in our Eastern Empire, so how can a mere trick trick the prince?" His eyes are piercing. My lord, do you think this is what I said."

Murong Jinxi hummed expressionlessly, which was a promise.

Ning Yanxue narrowed her eyes slightly, and said softly, "Tell me, the prince is still waiting."

"Yes, the servants will come here one by one. Three days ago, the secretary next to the concubine Ning found the servants and gave the servants 300 taels of silver, telling the servants that as long as they bring a wild cat tonight, they said that they were instructed by the concubine Ning to hold the cat." Bitten the ear of Rong's mother, although the slave will be beaten afterwards, but the book says that the concubine Ning will return the slave's contract of sale to the slave, and the slave thinks that since it is just a beating, she accepts it. The slave is afraid of Concubine Xuan Afterwards, the empress killed people and silenced her, and asked Zhishu for a token, a pendant wearing an emerald doll, engraved with the name of Zhishu, which was a gift from the imperial concubine Gu Guifei in the palace. The prince can go to the servant's room to find it. I will soon find out." After Fei Cui finished speaking, she looked at Ning Yanxue with a guilty expression on her face: "Concubine Ning, it is the servant who is wolf-hearted. It is the servant who has done something sorry for you. I beg you to forgive that person."

Ning Yanxue just smiled and said nothing, staring at Murong Jinxi with her eyes motionless, which meant that Murong Jinxi was about to die.

Not long after, the chief executive came with a few guards from the palace, holding the token that Fei Cui said, and 500 taels of silver in his hand: "I have seen the prince, the princess, and the side concubine."

"Boss get up and answer." Murong Jinxi said with a bit of facial paralysis.

"Thank you, my lord. My lord, these were all found in the Emerald's room. Of the 500 taels, 100 taels were placed in a box under the bed, and the other [-] taels were stored in an embroidered cushion. It was found in Jade's room, and there is the whole Jade doll, which indeed has the word 办书 on it."

Soon, Zhishu was brought up, and when she saw Zhishu, the concubine Xuan didn't care about the prince's presence, she stepped in front of Zhishu, and slapped Zhishu's face: "Zhishu, my concubine used to Treating you well, the concubine's elder sister is extremely kind to your family, how could you do such a thing and put this concubine in a state of injustice, can you be worthy of my concubine's elder sister and your family by doing this?"

The secretary's face flickered, and he knelt straight on the ground, and was silent for a moment: "My lord, all this is done by my servant. Seeing that my mother is favored, this servant is jealous of her, so I want to hug a wild cat and bite her on the nose." , because most of the wild cats are sick, the slaves will definitely be infected if they think about this, and they will die if they don’t rescue them in time. After the matter was exposed, all the savings of the servants were taken to let Fei Cui push the matter to Concubine Ning."

Ning Yanxue casually swept the people on the ground. Everyone present knew who the scapegoat was, but no one would say it. The decision of the matter rested with Murong Jinxi.Looking back at Murong Jinxi, even Ning Yanxue had to admit that tonight was a waste of work, a girl, after all, is still a bit young.But talk is better than nothing, at least let the people in the palace know that he is not so easy to mess with.

Just as she was thinking about it, the book holder on the ground suddenly said: "The maidservant did not want to frame Concubine Ning for no reason. Ever since Mama Rong collided with Concubine Ning, Concubine Ning has always held a grudge and used ghosts and gods to scare her over and over again. Mother Rong, Mother Rong was tortured so much that she couldn't sleep day and night. Later, Concubine Xuan couldn't see her eyes, so she went to ask Concubine Ning, and Concubine Ning stopped her ghost skills, and Mother Rong also improved. The side concubine was holding a grudge, and even killed Rong's mother directly, and the method was exactly the same as the ghosts and gods she played with."
