Chapter 188
"Chuan Zhuanghe." Xiang Wan said calmly.
"Master Zhuanghezhuang." Li Quan Langsheng said.
Soon Zhuang He entered the door in official robes.
The corners of Xiang Wan's lips rose almost invisibly. Zhuang He was now significantly different from the gentle young man when he first met him. The Ministry of Punishment was the place most likely to be stained with blood, and now his aura alone carried a bit of evil spirit.
"My lord, Zhuang He, the servant of the Ministry of Punishment, paid a visit to the empress, and met Xiangyao's empress dowager, His Royal Highness, Mr. Luo, and Mr. Ye." Zhuang He saluted, neither humble nor overbearing.
"Lord Zhuang, no courtesy," Xiang Wan said.
Zhuanghe stood up.
"Master Zhuang, tell me about the progress of the case of Zhou Si's mother drugging." Xiang Wan said, getting straight to the point.
Gusu Lingchu's face was the same, and the hands in the sleeves were slightly curled up.
"Yes, I obey the order." Zhuang He responded, looked at the crowd and said, "On the day of the embroidery competition, after two rounds of advancement in the morning, the remaining three people are Zhou Niang from the Li Kingdom, Liu Wanjun and An Ran from the Xiangyao Kingdom, who took a break at noon. At that time, Zhou Niang returned to her resting place, and the maid brought lunch.
At that time, Miss Siguo, the close maid of the Empress Empress, found out about the lunch, and was given laxatives during the lunch.
Afterwards, Miss Siguo left her lunch to testify. "
"Could it be that Xiangyao and Liguo are the two sides in the competition to prove that I, Xiangyao, have been poisoned!" Gusu Lingchu said coldly.
"Of course not." Zhuang He continued, "Your Highness, please be safe and don't be impatient."
Gusu Lingchu snorted coldly.
"After Miss Siguo has reported the matter to the Empress Empress, the Empress Empress will imprison all those involved and put them in solitary confinement. Afterwards, the subordinate officials will personally interrogate them." Zhuang He looked at Gusu Lingchu.
"After several days of interrogation, I finally found the mastermind behind the scenes. She admitted that it was Her Royal Highness who ordered someone to intimidate and lure her, and that's why she took the risk and designed Mother Thursday."
"Nonsense! I have never done such a thing!" Gusu Lingchu said coldly.
"The lower official has this person's confession letter in his hand, and he is waiting in the hall. If His Highness the Empress Dowager has any doubts, you can pass him in and confront him face-to-face." Zhuang He responded calmly.
Luo Baimo and Ye Ziwei exchanged glances.
"Hmph, there is nothing wrong with accusing someone of a crime. He was arrested in the Li Palace, and the officials from the Li Kingdom came to interrogate him. Who knows if he deliberately framed him? Besides, the two of Xiangyao Kingdom advanced. In the first two rounds, no one would think that If Zhou Niang can win the championship, she and Liu Wanjun's embroidery skills are evenly matched in the first two rounds, so why should I take such a big risk to make trouble in the Li Palace? Isn't it just asking for trouble." Gusu Lingchu said loudly.
"Your Majesty's words do have some truth." Xiang Wan's lips twitched slightly in response, playing politics was different, but a few words changed his situation.
"Since the empress admits that what I said is reasonable, doesn't she admit that she has wronged Xiangyao country." Gusu Lingchu naturally clung to Xiang Wan's words.
The corners of Luo Baimo's lips rose slightly. Although he didn't know the specific process, he instinctively felt that Xiang Wan would not suffer.
"His Royal Highness, there is indeed some truth in what I said. I just listened to what Her Royal Highness said. If Her Royal Highness was sure that Thursday Mother would win, and knew that Thursday Mother would embroider on both sides, then what Her Royal Highness said just now, Wouldn't it be invalid?" Xiang Wan said slowly, with a kind smile on his lips.
"How could I know!" Gusu Lingchu's sleeves tightened suddenly, and she couldn't think of any other way to fight back except to bite her to death and refuse to admit it.
"Six years ago, the first family of embroidery in Xiangyao Kingdom, the double-sided embroidery case of the Huanxi Zhou family was handled by Her Royal Highness personally. It's not even possible that Zhou Sining, the only heir of the Zhou family at that time, didn't recognize Zhou Sining, right?" Xiang Wan laughed. said.
"What is the Queen's intention to make a fuss about a dead person?" Gusu Lingchu's eyebrows twitched suddenly, and Xiang Wan really knew about the Xiangyao Kingdom back then.
"Because Si Niang is Zhou Sining." Xiang Wan continued.
"Back when Zhou Sining was killed under my nose, I am sure she is dead." Gusu Lingchu said coldly, with an extremely tough attitude.
"Come here, take Mother Thursday." Xiang Wan said with a chuckle, never sullen.
Gusu Lingchu frowned.
Gusu Lingxi glanced at Xiang Wan without a trace, and the two exchanged glances quietly.
Xiang Wan's eyes lowered, and a smile flickered across her eyes. Gusu Lingxi is a person who can make trouble, and everything that needs to be prepared is ready. After a while, there will be a good show to watch.
Zhou Niang walked in slowly and bowed to salute.
"Caomin Sisi, I pay my respects to the Empress, Your Royal Highness, the Princess, and the two young masters, Master Xiao."
Zhou Si's mother is very considerate, just looking at her state in front of everyone at this time, it makes people think that this person's background must be not simple.
"Si Niang, get up." Xiang Wan said slowly.
"Thank you, empress." Mother Zhou got up and stood in the middle of the room.
"Tell me about your origin, there is no need to hide it, I and the two young masters will make decisions for you." Xiang Wan said, with a clear meaning of protection.
At the end of Si Niang's competition, Xiang Wan asked Si Guo and Si Niang to identify her.
Although Zhou Niang didn't expect Xiang Wanhui to know her identity so quickly, she didn't hide anything after the shock, and told all the wrongs that Zhou's family suffered that year.
Siguo conveyed Xiang Wan's intentions to Zhou Zhouniang, and asked her if she had the courage to confront Gusu Lingchu.
Zhou Niang immediately agreed, she was very excited, she has been working so hard to shock the four countries with her double-sided embroidery one day, so as to clear up the grievances of Xuexue back then!
"Yes, the daughter of the people, Zhou Si Niang, whose real name is Zhou Sining, was born in Huanxi, Xiangyao. She was once the descendant of the number one embroidery family in Xiangyao. Xiangjiu fled to Yue Country, and then followed Young Master Qingcheng to Li Country."
"Back then, Zhou Sining died in front of this palace, and his body was verified. Miss Zhou, you said you were from the Zhou family?" Gusu Lingchu asked.
"Yes, Sining has the testimony of his ancestors' craftsmanship, as well as the jade pendant passed down from generation to generation in the Zhou family. The jade pendant was personally given by the founding queen of Xiangyao, and it is the only one in the world." Zhou Niang took out the jade pendant from her bosom as she spoke.
A eunuch took it and wanted to give it to Xiang Wan. Xiang Wan waved to the eunuch to give the jade pendant to Gusu Lingchu.
Gusu Lingchu frowned.
"It's really a gift from the ancestors..." Gusu Lingxi poked her head over and blurted out the words. Immediately after she uttered the words, she realized something was wrong and hurriedly stretched out her hands to cover her mouth, as if she was very scared.
Xiang Wan almost laughed out loud, Gusu Lingxi is really a master of acting.
Gusu Lingchu gave Gusu Lingxi a cold look.
"Back when the Zhou family was killed, it is true that the jade pendant given by the emperor was not found from the Zhou mansion. All this was recorded in the case file." Gusu Lingchu said, "Mu Xue, but?"
"Yes." Yan Muxue replied, "After Mu Xue took over as Xiangyao's prime minister, she had read the file. The case of the Zhou family was a sensation. Mu Xue specifically checked the file. It is true that the imperial jade pendant is still being searched."
Xiang Wan smiled, "His Royal Highness said that Si Niang's jade pendant was stolen, her craftsmanship was a coincidence, her last name was Zhou, and everything was a coincidence."
"I don't know if it's a coincidence or some kind of deliberate arrangement." Gusu Lingchu said coldly, with the meaning of turning her face, and now she doesn't care about leaving the country or not.
It doesn't matter how strong Li Guo is, without real evidence, he can't stop the people talking.
Besides, the war between the two countries is not something that can be fought just by fighting. Although the Li country is now strong, it also has many hidden worries. She doesn't think that Jun Moli will go to war with Xiangyao country for a embroidered mother.
But looking at Xiangyao's country, the situation is completely different. If Zhou Sining proves to be Zhou Sining, and she wins with double-sided embroidery, the Queen Mother will definitely know that she was guilty of deceiving the emperor back then.
It is well known that Empress Xiangyao is suspicious by nature, and her status as a concubine will definitely be lost if this matter happens. If the empress rehabilitates the Zhou family, the Liu family will definitely be implicated...everything will be over for me.
Gusu Lingchu took a deep breath indiscriminately to stabilize his emotions.
Xiang Wan chuckled helplessly, "I have put out so many things that are not enough to convince His Majesty the Empress Dowager, so there is nothing I can do for a while."
Luo Baimo's eyes paused, Xiang Wan is admitting defeat?impossible.
"Naturally, it is not enough to convince me, and I don't have any useful witnesses. How can I be convinced, but the empress is not from Xiangyao country, so I don't know much about what happened back then, so it's normal for me to be deceived. I will not hold the empress wronged." Gusu Lingchu said, as if he was very generous.
Xiang Wan smiled, but did not respond.
The guard at the gate strode into the door to salute, "I report to the empress, the second princess of Xiangyao Kingdom, please see me."
Gusu Lingchu clearly felt that her breathing was stagnant, Gusu Lingye!Why is she leaving the country at this time!How could such a coincidence appear!
Gusu Lingchu subconsciously looked at Xiang Wan, who smiled lightly.
She instantly understood that everything was arranged by Xiang Wan, she took one step and counted three steps to make herself irrefutable!
"Please." Xiang Wan's beautiful lips moved slightly, and she spit out a crisp word.
At this point, Luo Baimo and Ye Ziwei could see it clearly. Xiang Wan had made thorough preparations a long time ago. No matter how Gusu Lingchu argued, she couldn't escape her calculations in the end. She had to admit this cheating whether she recognized it or not.
Soon, Second Princess Xiangyao walked in quickly.
"Xiangyao Gusu Lingye has met the empress, imperial sister, and the two young masters." Gusu Lingye saluted, and finally her eyes fell on Thursday's mother, full of emotion.
"Second princess, no courtesy." Xiang Wan responded with a smile, "Why did the second princess leave the country at this time?"
"Ling Ye is, he went out to look for an old friend, and finally found Li Guo from Yue Country." Gusu Lingye's eyes were flushed, and he walked in front of Zhou Niang, "Sining, you are really still alive."
Zhou Niang was also filled with emotion, "Minister, thank you Second Princess for thinking about me."
"Is Second Princess sure that Si Niang is Zhou Sining?" Xiang Wan asked.
"Gusu Lingye, don't talk nonsense." Gusu Lingchu said coldly. At this moment, she even hoped that Gusu Lingye could take care of the overall situation and not let Xiangyao lose face in the Four Kingdoms.
But, obviously, she was thinking too much.
"It's Si Ning, Ling Ye and Si Ning were childhood playmates, how could they admit their mistake." Gusu Ling Ye said with a firm tone.
