sick princess

Baoluo fixed her eyes on the person who made the sound: "Usually, Sixth Sister is not very talkative, but today she is eloquent. I almost think that Sixth Sister has changed."

"Sister Liuhuang is so active today, I am afraid that others will not suspect me, but I don't know why? Could it be that this matter has something to do with Sister Liuhuang, and Sister Liuhuang is guilty?"

The smile on Baoluo's face completely subsided, and she glanced coldly at the sixth princess.

Ever since the sixth princess and Lan Chengyu's marriage was disturbed, she felt that there was something wrong with the sixth princess.But at that time, thinking about it, the sixth princess was plotted by others, which was quite pitiful.If you want to take revenge on the person who plotted against her, there is nothing wrong with it.

It's just that Baoluo didn't expect that the sixth princess would be so ruthless, that she would persuade the fifth princess to disfigure Princess Pingning, let alone that after doing this, the sixth princess would try to put it on her.

Baoluo didn't know that at first, the sixth princess just wanted to teach the fifth princess and Princess Ning a lesson, so that both of them would be hurt, and didn't think about what the fifth princess would do to Princess Pingning.Ever since the fifth princess was regarded as half a lunatic, she acted more and more as she wanted, without any rules, and would do things that ruined Princess Pingning's appearance. It's really not surprising.

And behind this conflict, there are still people calculating.Even if the Fifth Princess and Princess Ning didn't make a big deal out of it, the people behind the scenes would not easily calm down the conflict between the two - the hairpin stained with medicinal powder is the best example.This is for fear that the five princesses stabbed lightly, leaving no scars on Princess Pingning's face.

"Nonsense, what does this matter have to do with me!" The sixth princess retorted loudly as if someone had stepped on her tail: "Sister Seven, please don't get caught up in this case by yourself and just think about talking nonsense." people!"

Seeing the tense appearance of the sixth princess, Baoluo smiled inwardly.The sixth princess has never done such a thing, and her performance is too jerky.If she really wanted to completely remove herself from the matter, she should just sit there and say nothing.Instead of trying to dispel your suspicions, try to prove that someone else did it.

Originally, the old Princess Rong and Princess Longqing didn't notice the sixth princess at all, but because the sixth princess was unwilling to be lonely and jumped out to show her existence, they would instead suspect the sixth princess.After all, the words and deeds of the sixth princess are indeed abnormal, which looks very suspicious.

At this time, the fifth princess did not say much.

The sixth princess and Baoluo, and the fifth princess don't like any of them. No matter which one is unlucky, it doesn't make any difference to her.She also wanted to see who was plotting against her behind her back.

In fact, in private, the fifth princess felt that the sixth princess had a greater motive for doing this kind of thing. After all, the sixth princess was completely rejected by Emperor Zhaode because of Princess Pingning.As long as the sixth princess provokes the conflict between the fifth princess and Princess Ning, the effect of killing two birds with one stone can be achieved.

However, is this possible?

Thinking of the sixth princess who dared not say a word even when being bullied, the fifth princess felt deep doubts in her heart.

Old Concubine Rong looked at Baoluo for a while, and Princess Six for a while, wondering what was going on in her heart.

Princess Longqing said: "Go and check, Princess Pingning is only sprinkled with medicinal powder on this hairpin, or is it also sprinkled with medicinal powder on other jewelry?" After speaking, she asked Lao Rong symbolically. Wang Hao said: "The investigation of this case requires the cooperation of people in the house. Aunt Huang should have no objection?"

Old Concubine Rong said with a stiff face: "Naturally. You can just let go and investigate, as long as you can find out the person who killed my granddaughter as soon as possible, even if you want to blow up my granddaughter's house, I have no objection."

With the cooperation of the master, the people sent by Princess Longqing naturally found the result very quickly.

"Princess Qi, in addition to the hairpin given by Princess Longevity, the medicine-powder is also found on several pieces of jewelry given by the ladies in the palace. Those jewelry that are contaminated with the medicine powder are worn by the slaves. I'm back to the palace." The person below said, and presented an exquisite jewelry box.

Princess Longqing's eyes sank, and she said to the imperial physicians, "Go and see when the powder on these jewelry got stained."

None of the imperial physicians picked up a few pieces of jewelry, looked at them for a moment, and said in a hurry: "Reporting to the eldest princess, the medicinal powder on this pair of jade bracelets was wiped off only recently."

"The medicine powder on this necklace was just wiped off recently."

"The medicinal powder on this hairpin has been around for some years, and I can't tell when it was applied..."

Listening to the words of the imperial doctors, the old Princess Rong's eyes were about to split open: "These jewelry are all Ping Ning's favorites on weekdays... The person who has blackened his heart is afraid that I won't harm my Ping Ning, so I can't help it." She tampered with the jewelry she likes to wear!"

Princess Longqing said with deep eyes: "Only a few pieces of jewelry have been tampered with long ago, and the rest of the jewelry have only been tampered with recently. I'm afraid this person has been calculating Ping Ning for some time, but I don't know." Why, I chose to do it recently."

As she said that, she gave instructions again: "Which girl is in charge of jewelry around Ping Ning, bring her up to Ben Gong, and Ben Gong wants to see how she manages the jewelry of the master! Why even the master's jewelry?" Someone tampered with the jewelry without knowing it!"

This time, the people sent by Princess Longqing took a long time to come back.

Princess Longqing saw that they failed to bring him back, she couldn't help but frowned: "But that girl absconded in fear of crime?"

"Reporting to the Eldest Princess, a girl named Ling'er is in charge of jewelry by Princess Pingning's side on weekdays. When the slaves arrived at Prince Rong's mansion, the girl had committed suicide in fear of crime. The slaves searched her room Something has come out, please take a look at the eldest princess."

When Princess Longqing heard this, she thought it was bad.

Just after this happened, a girl next to Princess Pingning committed suicide, which shows that there is something wrong with this girl.However, when a person dies, the clues are also cut off.

The things found in her room can be used as evidence, but they are dead after all.These things are hard to guarantee that they are not the things released by the real instigator to interfere with the judgment of others.

At the same time, Baoluo secretly thought that he was in trouble.

She didn't need to look at the things that were confiscated, she also knew that it must be related to Queen Xu or her.

Sure enough, among the things those people copied back, apart from some unused medicinal powder, there was also a box of spices.The spices were paid as tribute by foreign races, so they were extremely rare and could not be owned by a slave at all.

Concubine Zhou stared at the box containing the spices for a moment, then said: "If I remember correctly, the spices were paid as tribute by the Dongyi people the year before last, right? There were two boxes in the palace, and the emperor wanted to pay tribute to them. One box was given to the Empress Dowager, but the Empress Dowager didn’t like spices, so she resigned. So, the emperor rewarded me with one box, and gave the other box to Fengyi Palace—”

"My spices are still stored in the palace. I wonder where the Queen's spices are now?" Concubine Zhou raised her head and looked at Queen Xu with gloomy eyes.

This question really overwhelmed Queen Xu and Baoluo.

Because the incense is very easy to be tampered with, so even if it is a spice that was rewarded by Emperor Zhaode, Empress Xu would not use it.Not only did she not use it herself, she also did not allow Baoluo to use it, so she would store it in the warehouse.

Now, the spices that were supposed to be in the warehouse actually appeared in the hands of a servant in Prince Rong's mansion, which can only prove that there are internal thieves in their Fengyi Palace.

"This is indeed the box of spices that the father gave to the queen mother. However, the box of spices in our palace has long been stolen." Finally, Baoluo said truthfully.

"Do you think that if you say that, someone will believe it?" The sixth princess looked at Baoluo unkindly: "Now, the evidence is all in front of you, but you still refuse to plead guilty... Seventh Emperor Sister, is it interesting for you to deceive yourself like this? ?”

In all fairness, Princess Six is ​​really unwilling to confront Baoluo directly.

Over the years, she has long been used to being low-key in front of Baoluo and Ji Qinghan.As a result, when she saw Baoluo, she couldn't help but bow her head.

But when she thought of Nanny Zhang's words, her heart tightened again.If Baoluo or Empress Xu can't be convicted this time, let Princess Longqing continue to investigate further, maybe she will be found...

Between her own misfortune and others' misfortune, the sixth princess decisively chose the latter.

"Everyone is already dead. It's too far-fetched to say that the girl was ordered by the queen mother and me with just a box of spices." Baoluo smiled.The more tense the Sixth Princess looked, the more relaxed she was. From this point of view, she could put more pressure on the Sixth Princess.

"The Sixth Sister only thought that if she found something lost by my mother and me from A Mao and A Gou, she would be able to frame us at will, but she didn't know that every time something was lost in Fengyi Palace, she would report it to her father. If you don't believe me, you can Please ask Aunt Longqing to call out Eunuch Liang from father’s palace and ask him to take a record book to see if there is such a thing.”

Princess Longqing frowned slightly when she heard the words: "In that case, please bring this book with Eunuch Liang and come here for a while."

Fengyi Palace is not far from Qianyuan Palace, and soon Eunuch Liang was brought to Princess Longqing.Evidently, Eunuch Liang already knew the purpose of Princess Longqing calling him here, held a booklet in his hand and said, "Report to Princess Changshou, the spices from Princess Changshou were indeed lost a year ago, and it is recorded on this page."

The handwriting is old at first glance, and it is impossible to forge it in a hurry.

Seeing this, Princess Longqing said: "It seems that this girl's spices were not gifted by Changshou, but were stolen by a daring palace servant."

"That's not sure! Perhaps, after giving the spices to Ling'er, Seventh Emperor Sister and Empress Dowager deliberately reported to Father Emperor to cover up their actions!"

"Sister Liuhuang couldn't find evidence, so she started to argue?" Baoluo looked at Princess Liu coldly: "Even if I really want to buy this girl, why use such expensive spices, it's because I'm afraid that others won't find me Are you coming?"

The angrier Baoluo became, the softer her tone became: "Sister Liuhuang, don't worry, although you don't have evidence against me, I do have evidence that you instigated Sister Wuhuang to frame Sister Pingning."

After receiving the consent of Princess Longqing, Baoluo said in a deep voice, "Bring it up!"
