The princess is reborn after a good time and a plan

Chapter 53 Zhu Cui helps break the situation

A quarter of an hour later, both Nanny Li and Liangchen returned to the hall.

"I'll tell you, my dear, there is no mole on her left thigh." Nanny Li replied.

Everyone looked at each other in confusion. Jiang Hui was so confident just now, but was slapped in the face in the blink of an eye, and the matter suddenly fell into confusion.

"Impossible!" Jiang Hui was a little anxious, and then he thought again, "Maybe I remembered it wrong, it's the right thigh!"

"My dear, there are no moles on either the left leg or the right leg." Grandma Li replied.

Liangchen looked at him and sneered. The last time she saved Hong, she scratched the inner side of her left thigh. The wound was six inches long and the flesh was visible deep inside. The mole was long gone.

"Then, maybe my subordinates remembered it wrong!" Jiang Hui looked embarrassed.

Liangchen stared at Jiang Hui and asked: "You were so sure just now, how could you remember it wrong? Or are you lying? Others taught you these words!"

"I may have remembered it wrong. There are many women around me, and I like to drink wine on weekdays. However, Miss Liang and I do have an affair. The badge I dropped by the rockery today was due to my secret meeting with Miss Liang." ." Jiang Hui said.

"I have a question. Concubine Liang asked me to go to the palace to get her pulse. It happened suddenly. For me, passing by the Imperial Garden was a coincidence. And why did you appear in the Imperial Garden today? Could it be that the guards also Are you free to hang out in the back garden?" Liangchen asked.

Jiang Hui was stunned for a moment and didn't dare to say anything.

"Jiang Hui, why did you appear in the Royal Garden today?" the queen said in a serious tone.

Zhong Bin clutched the armrest of the chair tightly, looking nervous.

"Concubine Liang Guifei has arrived!"

Following the announcement from outside, Concubine Liang walked into Cining Palace.

Concubine Liang looked at everyone, then at Liangchen and Jiang Hui who were kneeling on the ground, "Jiang Hui, why are you here? Didn't I order you to go to the House of Internal Affairs to fetch some charcoal and bring it to my palace! Have you done everything? "

Jiang Hui immediately changed his mind and said, "Back to Concubine Liang, I originally wanted to do it, but the queen happened to summon me, so I came here! Please forgive me, Concubine Liang."

Concubine Liang sat down and said, "The good time is also here. The queen's affairs must be the most important. Why are you gathered here today?"

The queen suppressed the anger in her heart and said calmly: "Lan Guiren was strangled to death on the rockery of the Imperial Garden. Liangchen was the only one at the scene. In addition, Jiang Hui's waistband was also found there. Now Jiang Hui said, Liangchen He had an affair with him, and it was Lan Guiren who broke into their private meeting and was silenced. This palace is investigating."

Concubine Liang seemed very surprised, "Guiren Lan, is he dead? Good morning, you are confused."

"Back to Concubine Liang, Jiang Hui is slandering her. I did not kill Concubine Lan." Liangchen said.

At this time, the case was in trouble. Liangchen and Jiang Hui each had their own opinions and insisted on their own opinions, and no one gave in.

A palace maid suddenly came in from outside the door and knelt on the ground, "Come back, queen, my servant has seen Miss Liang having a private meeting with Jiang Hui. Just three days ago, Miss Liang came out of Concubine Liang's palace. She should have left the palace, but she didn't. Went to the back of the rockery in the Imperial Garden with Jiang Hui. The two of them acted as if there was no one else around and had no sense of etiquette, justice and shame!"

"Seriously?" the queen asked.

"I don't dare to speak nonsense, everything I say is true!" the palace maid who testified spoke righteously.

Jiang Hui quickly agreed: "We did have a private meeting behind the rockery that day. I was too involved in it, so I didn't notice that I was seen by others. Since I was discovered, I had to admit it."

Just when there was nothing left to say, an announcement came from outside the palace.

"The Emperor is here!"

The emperor and Concubine Qi arrived late, and Zhu Cui followed Concubine Qi.

Everyone stood up and saluted.

It took the emperor a long time to understand the ins and outs of the matter in detail, and he frowned.

The emperor looked at the maid kneeling on the ground, "Did you really see Liangchen and Jiang Hui having an affair on the rockery in the imperial garden?"

"This servant did not lie, the emperor is aware of it!" the palace maid kowtowed.

"Back to the emperor, I did have a private meeting with Liangchen at the rockery that day. She didn't lie!" Jiang Hui said.

At this time, Zhu Cui stood up and said, "Back to the emperor, Liangchen went to Concubine Liang's palace that day. I gave a guard a piece of silver in the imperial garden and asked him to pay more attention to Liangchen. If this is true, please ask the guard to come up. Just ask before you know it!”

The emperor originally had a sad look on his face, but when he saw Zhu Cui's words, he softened a lot, "Call all the guards of the imperial garden that day!"

After a while, eight more guards came to the palace.

Zhu Cui looked at one of them and said, "Brother guard, did I reward you with a piece of silver at noon three days ago?"

The guard looked up at Zhu Cui, "Yes!"

Zhu Cui continued to ask, "What did I tell you that day?"

The guard was a little confused, "Please tell me to look at a very beautiful young lady, that's her! If there is anything wrong with her, go to Concubine Qi's palace and call for help." As he spoke, the guard pointed at Liangchen.

Zhu Cui nodded, "Then you did it?"

The guard scratched his head and said, "But there is nothing wrong with this young lady. She left after coming out of Concubine Liang's palace."

"Did she stay in the Royal Garden or communicate with anyone?" Zhu Cui continued to ask.

"No! After she came out of Concubine Liang's palace, she left directly without any stop. Since I accepted your money, I will naturally watch her for you." The guard said.

"Then did you see these two people in the imperial garden?" Zhu Cui pointed at Jiang Hui and the palace maid.

The guard looked embarrassed, "I don't know about that. You only told me to keep an eye on a young lady, and I only kept an eye on her."

At this time, another guard looked at Jiang Hui and said, "Jiang Hui was not in the Imperial Garden at noon that day. How could we see him? He and I both work at night. We played cards in the room all day, including lunch." They didn’t even come out to eat, and they played until the shift time. If you don’t believe me, ask the other people who were playing cards that day.”

Another guard said, "I remember, I also worked the night shift that day, and I played cards with Jiang Hui all day long. He still owes me 30 taels."

At this time, the concubines sitting on both sides suddenly started making noises. Concubine Zhong pretended to be calm, while Concubine Liang remained calm and looked very calm.

The palace maid who testified suddenly had her lips turn white and her mouth became dry.

The emperor waved his hand and the guards retreated.

"What else do you want to say?" the emperor asked.

The Queen glared at the two of them, "Your Majesty, what is there to say? Someone must be instigating it behind the scenes! This person is so vicious that he actually killed Lan Guiren in order to frame Liangchen!"

The emperor said nothing and stared at the two people on the ground!

The two of them had already turned pale with fright, trying not to lose their minds.

After a while, the emperor spoke, "Who ordered it?"

Jiang Hui's hands were shaking so much that he could no longer support his body, and cold sweat kept pouring out like running water.

The Queen smiled contemptuously, "Your Majesty, please leave this matter to me."

As soon as she finished speaking, the palace maid vomited blood and fell to the ground.

Liangchen hurriedly said, "Pinch Jiang Hui's mouth quickly, don't let him bite his tongue and commit suicide!"

After speaking, the guards immediately stepped forward and pinched Jiang Hui's mouth open.

The queen looked at Concubine Liang coldly, then turned to the guards and said: "Take him to the interrogation cell. If he dies, you will also have to pay for it!"

The emperor looked at Liangchen and said, "Who did you offend in the palace?"

Liang Chen knelt down and bowed to the emperor, "I don't know, Your Majesty, the new year is coming soon. I really miss my grandfather who is far away in the country. Concubine Qi is already well. Can I not go to the palace to ask for pulse again?"

The emperor sighed and nodded in agreement.
