Chapter 89

Jing Fushu trembled when she heard the words, "Your Majesty... what do you mean by this?"

The emperor smiled faintly, "Bring him up."

This time the person brought up was an eunuch.Two guards grabbed his arms and dragged him up, and he fell limply to the ground as soon as he let go, as if he had no strength at all.On the vermilion lichen, he was covered in blood, his fingers were stained with blood, his eyes were swollen and he couldn't open them.

After seeing him, Jing Fushu panicked for the first time in her usually calm eyes.

"Do you know this person?" the emperor looked at her and asked calmly.

Jing Fushu pursed her lips, "I know."

"Oh? How did you know?" The emperor smiled.

"This person is one of the principals of the internal investigation, his name is Li He. I have seen him several times." Jing Fushu said.

"How many times have you met?" The emperor raised his eyebrows, "Is it really that simple?"

Seeing that Jing Fushu was silent, he smiled, "Ashu, you said that you only met him a few times, so why did this lowly slave confess that he got your favor two years ago after being interrogated by the Department of Punishment last night? Since then, I have been secretly working for you. One of the most troublesome incidents was that on the first day of the twelfth lunar month in the second year of Yongjia, I went to the Plum Garden to make an ice field, causing the pregnant Rou Wanyi to fall..."

The sum of all the words today is not as shocking as the emperor's words.The six concubines looked at each other, wondering if there was something wrong with their ears.

It was Rou Wanyi who was the party concerned who hesitated and asked first, "But Your Majesty... isn't it the eunuch who splashed water, is it the Amu who was ordered to die?"

The emperor's eyes shifted from Jing Fushu to Rou Wanyi, and the chill subsided a little, becoming gentle, "It's just that we were all deceived."

Jing Fushu noticed the change in his eyes, and felt another stabbing pain in her heart.

Every time before, when he looked at others, his eyes were cold, but he would show tenderness to himself.But since when did his tenderness never show to her again?When he faced her, there was only indifference and alienation in his eyes, and even that cowardly and incompetent Rou Wanyi got more consideration than her.

Unable to feel the turmoil in the woman's heart in front of him, the emperor turned his head to look at Gu Yunxian, and said indifferently: "You should explain it. I think about these things more, and I feel uncomfortable."

Gu Yunxian was taken aback for a moment, looked at him for a moment before nodding, "No."

She turned her gaze to the hall, and said calmly: "Since Your Majesty asked me to explain, then you can listen to me. What the servant girl said just now was her first confession last night. However, after continuing to ask for half an hour, she He said something else." There was a glint in her eyes, "She said, that Amu was just a temporary scapegoat created by Zhen Guiji, in order to plant everything on Bo Baolin and let herself escape. No I know you guys still don't remember what Bo Baolin said before he was dragged out of Changxin Palace?"

Among all the concubines, Yu Shuyi has an excellent memory, she even remembers the hairpin worn by Concubine Zhengui two years ago, not to mention the last sentence Bo Jinrou said?

Dai Mei frowned slightly, she contemplated for a moment, and quickly remembered.

At that time, Bo Jinrou defended the Queen Mother in a panic.She said: "The concubine has never met this person before, the concubine didn't ask him to do the matter..."

Her eyes widened suddenly.

Seeing her reaction, the rest looked at her in confusion.Ming Chongyi was about to ask her if she remembered anything, but she heard Rou Wanyi whispered: "Bo Baolin said that she didn't ask Amu to do this."

Ming Chongyi was taken aback for a moment, "Oh yes, I almost forgot. This matter is closely related to Sister Xing, so my sister naturally remembers it clearly."

Rou Wanyi lowered her head and did not speak.

"Yes, that's the sentence." Gu Yunxian said, "It's a pity that Bo Baolin was sentenced to death at that time, and she spoke incoherently, so we all thought she was talking nonsense. Who knew, what she said was actually true .”

Looking at Yuliu, she slowly said: "The person who helped Bo Baolin in Meiyuan at that time was indeed Li He, not A Mu. Li He was Zhenguiji's person long ago, but Bo Baolin didn't know this One point. Zhen Guiji didn’t want to reveal her relationship with Li He, so she led Bo Baolin to bribe him, pretending that she didn’t participate. Probably because this Li He was very capable and trusted by her, so things came to light later. Zhen Guiji thought of a way to throw a scapegoat out, and saved Li He.

"Zhenguiji originally thought that Yuliu didn't know about this, but what she didn't expect, even though Yuliu didn't go to contact Li He at that time, she inadvertently learned the name of the eunuch. You know, Bo Baolin's subordinate The technique is not very clever, and the people around her may not know what to say and what not to say.

"Actually, I speculate that apart from not wanting to attract attention, the reason Zhenguiji didn't kill Yuliu was because she felt that with the inside story that Yuliu knew, if one day she really If someone goes to report, it may not necessarily bring her down. But if Yuliu dies, her friend will report instead of her, and things will become more troublesome. Wouldn’t it be a crime to kill someone to silence her? In this case , she chose to hold back.

"Yu Liu also understood this in her heart, so she didn't dare to tell Zhen Guiji that she actually knew so many things. She thought she would get out of the palace soon, but Bo Baolin's haunted spirit forced her to run to Mei She worshiped her in the garden, but Jiao Ben and His Majesty ran into each other. After several interrogations, she had no choice but to confess Li He's name."

When Gu Yunxian said this, he paused for a while to give everyone a little time to understand, "I sent someone to investigate and found out that Li He was working in Meiyuan two years ago, but now he has been transferred to the palace to be the head of the province. He was promoted very quickly. After he was brought up from his residence, he was interrogated as usual. He was loyal and didn't say anything at first. His Majesty became impatient, so he sent a message to the Department of Punishment. After three days After the punishment, nothing will be done."

After saying this, she looked at Jing Fushu, "Sister Zhen, what do you have to deny what I just said?"

Before Jing Fushu could answer, Li He struggled to crawl towards her, and said while crawling, "Mother, I am sorry for you! The villain didn't carry it over, and gave you a confession! Your Majesty has seen what you did to me!" The villain's secret letter, he knows everything... You should admit it!"

Jing Fushu's whole body was as stiff as a rock, motionless.Ever since Gu Yunxian's words came into her ears word by word, she couldn't control the trembling of her hands.When she finally finished speaking, there was not even a trace of blood on her face.

There seemed to be blood welling up in her throat, she didn't want to take another look at that disappointing dog, she just stared blankly at the emperor, and said with difficulty: "So, what the servant girl said just now is actually... a trap? "

The emperor's expression is still gentle, but anyone can feel the coldness in his eyes, "Ah Shu, if you must understand this way, let it be a trap. I could have directly dragged this sinful slave to the hall to meet with you." You insisted, but for some reason, you suddenly became curious, wanting to see if the evidence is insufficient, A Shu, can you rely on your sharp mouth and tongue to fool me into believing you..."

There was a self-deprecating smile on his lips, "Not bad. Really not bad. If I hadn't met this criminal slave in advance and listened to his confession, I would have been fooled by you almost. Ashu, you... are really very Have the ability."

Jing Fushu was originally kneeling in front of him, but after hearing this, her legs suddenly went limp, her whole body seemed powerless, and she sat slumped on the lichen.

Gu Yunxian looked at her empty eyes, and raised the corners of her lips in an arc that no one could notice.

She has known for a long time that if she wins over Dingmei, there will be great gains.

When Dingmei told her that it was not Amu who helped Jing Fushu in the plum garden two years ago, but someone else, she keenly realized that this could set up a big picture.

Perhaps only she and Jing Fushu in the palace knew that the main reason why she gave up Amu to protect Li He was not because Li He was loyal and capable, but because Amu was from the Zhou Palace.

At that time, Gu Yunxian and the queen mother clearly realized that it was impossible to get rid of Jing Fushu so quickly, so they decided to convict Bo Jinrou first, so that Gu Yunxian could get credit for protecting the royal descendants.

So they found Amu in the plum garden, and asked him to pretend to be the person who splashed water under the plum tree, and report Bo Jinrou.

However, what they didn't expect was that Amu was bought by them on the surface, but in fact he was arranged for them by Jing Fushu.His purpose was to drag her into the water at a critical moment, making His Majesty think that Gu Yunxian and the Queen Mother were plotting against her again.Fortunately, I woke up at the last moment and interceded for Jing Fushu, so I escaped a catastrophe.

But she couldn't let the emperor know about these things.If the emperor knew that Jing Fushu had set them up like this at the beginning, he would also understand how she and the queen mother planned Jing Fushu back then.She couldn't let him know about it, so she made up another reason why Jing Fushu abandoned Amu and kept Li He.

After both Amu and Bo Jinrou were executed, the matter of Meiyuan was exposed in many people's minds.Only she was still unwilling, and had been investigating secretly, trying to find out who the person who did this thing was.However, there were very few clues, and she spent a lot of effort but couldn't find anything.

Not long ago, she finally reached a covenant with Dingmei.In order to show her allegiance to her, Ding Meiren told her about it, and at the same time revealed to her about Yuliu, the palace maid of Ling'an.

Although Ding Meiren didn't say anything, Gu Yunxian could guess that these things were definitely not told by Zhen Guiji to Ding Meiren, but Ding Meiren's quiet investigation.She has always been smart, how could she not give herself more bargaining chips for self-protection.

Gu Yunxian then found Yuliu, coercing and luring her, forcing her to agree to play such a scene with him.

So last night, she mentioned the plum blossoms in the plum garden in front of the emperor.She knew that the emperor would offer to take her to see it.In this way, when they got there and saw the court ladies worshiping Bo Baolin, the emperor would not feel that she had deliberately arranged all of this.

Everything after that is in the plan.

How could Yuliu know about Li He?This set of rhetoric was all taught by her, so that she could keep herself and Dingmei out of the matter to the greatest extent.

When the emperor was convinced of Jing Fushu's crimes and immediately wanted to bring her up for questioning, she was the one who guided his thoughts in a subtle and subtle manner.She made him decide to come up with such a test to test Jing Fushu, so as to see how she is a person who is good at disguising and full of lies.

Completely destroying Jing Fushu's gentle and pure image in the emperor's heart is the ultimate goal of her drama.
