Chapter 541 Evidence, act first
"Ha!" Princess Rongtang laughed excitedly, "Did you hear that? Gongyi Keying went to Yin Qingyi's room and stayed there for a long time! The relationship between her and Yin Qingyi was not very good before. , why did you suddenly go to have a good chat with her? It’s clear that it’s nothing to do, it’s either adultery or robbery!”

"It's not like that," Yin Qingyi explained anxiously, "Sister Ke Yung and I had a little misunderstanding before, but we have reconciled. We really had a good chat. I believe that Sister Ke Yung would never do that kind of thing." of!"

Princess Rong Tang looked at Yin Qingyi with eyes of a fool and said: "She has bad intentions for you, of course she will please you, but you still want to help her hide it, you are too ignorant of the sinister heart!"

"Impossible, it's definitely not like this!" Yin Qingyi shook her head in disbelief.

"This is indeed a bit strange," a lady couldn't help but said, "Before in the gazebo, Lord Qianji made a face to Miss Yin, and the quarrel broke up, why did he suddenly go to reconcile with Miss Yin? Isn't that a bit out of the ordinary?"

"I also find it strange," another person doubted, "Could it be like what the Chang Princess said, the Weng Lord thought the box contained Ganoderma lucidum, became greedy and stole the things?"

"It's not impossible. If you can get what you want, and also make Miss Yin unlucky, it can be said to kill two birds with one stone. It's not surprising that she would do this." She also said humanely.

However, some people also raised objections: "Even if the Lord really has such thoughts, you don't have to do it yourself. Isn't this a clear way to make others suspect her? She can definitely create evidence of her alibi and send the maid next to her to steal it. It is said that The servant girl's martial arts are very high, so wouldn't she be foolproof!"

"It's reasonable," someone agreed. "With Wengzhu's ingenuity, it is impossible to make such a mistake. I feel as if someone is going to frame Wengzhu!"

"That's not necessarily true. Weng Qianji is very deep in the city and has a cunning mind. Maybe she did the opposite on purpose to make you think so!" One person retorted.

The ladies held their own opinions, some doubted and some didn't believe it. They talked neither loudly nor softly. Many people heard it and started to discuss it.

Yingchu finally spoke at this time: "At present, it seems that I am the only one who is the most suspected. There is both the motive of stealing and the time to commit the crime. If I don't give you an explanation, everyone will have doubts in their hearts."

Yin Qingyi was still acting at this moment: "Sister Yung, I believe in you, I know that it is absolutely impossible for you to do it!"

"Then I would like to thank Miss Yin for your trust." She glanced at Yin Qingyi with a half-smile, and then said to Concubine Yin, "Young Concubine, I wonder what's in that box? How many are there?"

Concubine Yin said: "I gave Qingyi three boxes, one containing ginseng more than 400 years old, one containing ganoderma lucidum [-] years old, and the other a medicine for lung disease that the imperial physician gave the prime minister." She asked Yin Qingyi, "How many boxes were lost?"

"The three are gone," Yin Qingyi said.

Yingchu said: "Since Princess Rongtang suspects that I stole the things, I don't mind accepting the censorship. My maid and I have never left, everyone just check to see if the three things are in my hands. .but……"

She changed her voice and said: "Today I was invited by the Yin family to attend the banquet, but because of the Yin family's affairs, I suffered an indiscriminate disaster! If it turns out that I am innocent, I also ask the Yin family to give me an explanation!"

"It should be so!" Qin Wang said, "Your Yin family made a mistake, but Ke Yung will be humiliated because of it. If you don't show your attitude, this king will be the first to say no!"

The Ninth Prince smiled softly, and said: "Yan Nuo, don't be in a hurry to get angry, the Yin family is the first family, so you must understand the principles of being a human being."

Prime Minister Yin twitched, and snorted coldly: "If you are really innocent, it's not too late to say these things! My Yin family is not so responsible!"

"That's good," Yingchu smiled slightly, and said to Emperor Hongguang, "Your Majesty, my servant dares to ask the Emperor to be a witness for my servant."

Emperor Hongguang actually smiled: "Okay, I will help you to be this witness."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Ying Chu saluted and thanked her, and then said, "However you want to censor, feel free, I will fully cooperate."

Princess Rong Tang jumped out again and said: "It's not easy, send people to search wherever you have been, and you must have hidden those three boxes somewhere in the garden. Already!"

Prime Minister Yin thought for a while, and there was no other good way for the time being, so he said, "Let's do this first."

People came and went in the garden today, and people would see them wherever they went. The places Yingchu had been to were quickly listed, and the Yin family dispatched a large number of servants to search in all directions.

Princess Rongtang suddenly noticed the second wife and Gongyi Kewen hiding in the crowd, rolled her eyes, and said: "There are them, they have to investigate too! Maybe Gongyi Kewen will transfer things to them inside!"

The second lady's complexion changed, and she said angrily: "You don't want to swear! I have been with the ladies all morning, and I have never left alone. This matter has nothing to do with me!"

A wife testified for her: "Indeed, Mrs. Gongyi and Miss Kewen have been with us all the time, and have never had any contact with Gongyi Keyun."

Princess Rongtang was not willing to let them go, and said: "Even if they haven't left, it doesn't mean there is no other way to help the public. We must check their entourage and carriage, maybe some entourage is involved!"

"You are deliberately finding fault! Why should I ask you to search!" The second wife turned pale with anger.

"Could it be that you have a guilty conscience and don't dare to be searched?" Princess Rongtang sneered, "If you really didn't collude with Gongyi Kejun, what are you afraid of? This princess is not afraid, my entourage You can search casually for the horse and the carriage, do you dare?"

"Okay! If you want to search, let's search together!" The second lady didn't want to lose her momentum, and she didn't want to be suspicious, so she could only agree in agitation.

Princess Rong Tang was just talking casually at first, but this time she was on the verge of riding a tiger. She gritted her teeth and said: "Search, search! This princess is still afraid of you, not only you want to search, but also the dignified and dignified ones. Search!"

Yin Qingyi was delighted to hear their conversation, and Caiyi beside him was also relieved.Gongyi Keying's attendants watched the carriage closely, and Caiyi couldn't find a chance to attack, so he could only settle for the next best thing and plant the things on the second lady's carriage. Yin Qingyi was still thinking about how to speak so quietly, Princess Rong Tang made such a fuss, which saved her trouble.

The servants of the Yin family sent another group to check the carriage. After waiting for a while, the people who searched the garden hadn't returned yet. The one who searched the carriage came back first, and took back the three wooden boxes without any surprise.

"Prime Minister, I found these three wooden boxes in the carriage of the second lady of Gongyi. I wonder if they are the three lost by the imperial concubine." The servant said, holding up the wooden box in his hand and showing it to everyone. .

Concubine Yin only glanced at it, and then said in a deep voice, "That's right, this is indeed what I gave to Qingyi."

The second lady exclaimed: "Impossible! How could it be in my carriage? Did you make a mistake?!"

The servant said: "The servant asked very clearly, it is indeed the second lady's carriage, there is nothing wrong with it."

The second lady's face was pale, she kept chanting about the impossibility, and looked suspiciously at Yingchu and the Yin family, trying to find out who really hurt her.

"I knew it must be from their Gongyi family! Now that the evidence of the crime is conclusive, what else do you have to say!" Princess Rongtang was very proud, and said in a high voice, "Gongyi is the mastermind, and the Su family is the accomplice. Anyone who dares to steal from the imperial concubine or empress should not escape responsibility, and should be severely punished!"

Yin Qingyi looked shocked and dazed, as if she hadn't recovered from the news: "This, how is this possible? How could this happen?!" She looked at Yingchu hurt, "Why? I didn't suspect it was you at all. Why are you doing this?!"

The corners of Concubine Yin's lips curled up, and then flattened quickly, her tone was full of anger, and she said to Emperor Hongguang: "Your Majesty, it's too much for Gongyi to punish her! All the concubines have said that the meat Ganoderma lucidum is used up, but she doesn't believe it. She doesn't trust her concubines, and the emperor was there at the time, so she should trust the emperor! A majestic lord, to do such a thing like a dog, this kind of behavior cannot be tolerated!"

Emperor Hongguang's complexion was not good. Just now, Gongyi could justly ask him to be a witness. He thought she was innocent, but it turned out to be like this. Even he dared to play tricks!What the concubine said was right, he was there that day, the concubine never dared to tell a lie, but Gongyi Kejun didn't believe it, and did such a shameful thing today!
"Public ceremonies are acceptable!" Emperor Hongguang shouted sharply.

"Father, please calm down!" The Ninth Prince stood up and said, "The things were found from the car of the second wife of Gongyi. The difference is related to the fact that Gongyi can be in harmony. I feel that there is something wrong with this matter. Please look into it carefully. !"

"Grandpa Huang, my grandson also thinks something is wrong, please calm down first, and then investigate slowly!" King Qin said.

Seeing this scene, the second lady was very anxious, and she pointed at Gongyi Kewen preemptively and said, "It must be you! It must be you who colluded with Gongyi Kewen! I said why you are so affectionate to me all of a sudden, it must be You have colluded with Gongyi Keyi! Tell me, did you deliberately put things in my carriage, and wait for the matter to be revealed, so that I can help you take the blame?!"

Gongyi Kewen had long been frightened by the atmosphere in the hall, and was suddenly pushed out by the second lady. Her hands and feet trembled in fear, and her voice changed: "I didn't! Second aunt, how could you say that! I I have been following you without leaving half a step, how could I have colluded with Fourth Sister?"

"Who says you haven't left before? You left for a while with an excuse to go to the toilet!" The second lady said sharply, "Don't try to argue anymore, Gongyi Kexi, Gongyi Kewen, you guys are really good at fighting Abacus! But the emperor and the imperial concubine will not be deceived by you!"

The only thing she can do now is to firmly insist that she was framed by them, otherwise she will be punished as a petty person and labeled as a thief, how will she live in the future!Her husband and children will be unable to lift their heads together with her!
