The Imperial Concubine Just Wants To Be a Salted Fish Every Day
Chapter 791: Driven to a dead end
Chapter 791
The blade of grass is very small, and the cloak is dark green, so it's hard to be found when it touches it.
Jing concubine argued: "I wore it on my concubine during the day and went out. It should have been accidentally touched at that time."
Xiao Xixi does not comment on this.
She directly pulled the cloak off the screen.
Dong Ling wanted to step forward to stop him, but Baoqin stopped him.
She can only go to see Concubine Jing.
However, Concubine Jing couldn't help but watched the concubine start looking for the cloak inch by inch.
Soon, Xiao Xixi found some dirt on the edge of the cloak's hem.
She stretched out her hand to pinch a little dirt, and said with a smile.
"This soil is still moist. I think it must have been just wet."
Concubine Jing was speechless.
She asked with tears in her eyes: "What does the imperial concubine mean? Do you suspect that the concubine lied? The concubine almost died. If the imperial concubine doesn’t care, it’s okay. Why do you still fall into trouble?"
Xiao Xixi: "Don't change the subject, my palace just wants to know, did you go out wearing this cloak tonight? You just need to answer my palace yes or no."
Jing Concubine looked at the emperor, begging with tears in her eyes.
"Your Majesty, the concubine's body was really harmed by others, please make your majesty call the shots for the concubine's body!"
To be a normal man, facing such a beauty with pear blossoms and rain at this time, he must be relieved.
It's a pity that she ran into Luo Qinghan, a big pig's hoof with no emotion.
The emperor Big Trotter was blind, completely ignoring her pitiful pleading appearance, and said coldly.
"Whatever the concubine asks you, you will say what."
Jing Concubine's tears fell after a brush.
She cried very sadly: "Why don't even your Majesty believe in the concubine body? The concubine body is not alive anymore!"
Luo Qinghan: "Chang Xi, go and get a pot of wine. Since Concubine Jing doesn't want to live anymore, let her go on the road."
The cry of Concubine Jing stopped abruptly.
She looked at the emperor in disbelief, almost thinking she was listening.
Until Grandpa Chang really brought a pot of wine, Concubine Jing suddenly came back to her senses.
She looked at the wine glass being handed to her, her eyes filled with panic and fear.
"No, your Majesty, the concubine just said casually just now. The concubine doesn't really want to live anymore. I beg your majesty to take his life back and spare the concubine this time. The concubine doesn't dare to talk nonsense anymore!"
Luo Qinghan calmly looked at her: "Would you like to answer honestly?"
Jing Fei cried and nodded.
Luo Qinghan waved his hand.
President Chang retreated to the side with his wine glass.
Xiao Xixi: "Did Concubine Jing go out tonight wearing this cloak?"
Jing Concubine quickly figured out what to do next in her heart, and choked with sobs.
"Yes, the concubine did wear it to go out tonight, but what about it? Is it wrong for the concubine to wear it when going out?"
Xiao Xixi: "Then the problem is here.
Since you wore it to go out, why did you fall into the water, but this cloak was still dry?
Don’t tell me, you took off your cloak halfway through.
Suddenly took off the cloak on such a cold day. Are you trying to freeze yourself to death? "
Jing Fei was dumb, apparently being questioned.
Xiao Xixi continued: "Or, the person who murdered you deliberately helped you take off your cloak before pushing you into the water?"
Jing Concubine opened her mouth, trying to explain, but she couldn't find a suitable reason.
If you give her a little more time, she may be able to find an excuse for herself, but now the emperor is sitting in front of her, and the imperial concubine is also staring at her, she must give her an answer as soon as possible, there is no extra thinking time at all.
She held back for a long time, before suffocating two sentences.
"I brought an extra cloak when I went out. This cloak was rubbed against the dirt, so I changed to another cloak."
Xiao Xixi: "Oh? Is it the cloak that was sent to the Garment Bureau? This palace will let people go to the Garment Bureau to ask, see if Yingfu Palace has sent a wet cloak tonight?"
She said that, but she didn't move, she looked at Jing Fei with a smile.
Jing Concubine's face was already pale, but now it was even more scary.
She didn't bring another cloak out tonight at all. If she went to the coat bureau to ask, she would definitely be inconsistent with what she said.
Xiao Xixi: "There is one more thing to remind you, Shao Xuanxi is not dead, do you need to see her?"
Jing Concubine blurted out without even thinking about it: "I won't see her!"
She didn't react until she finished speaking, her reaction seemed too great, and she immediately closed her mouth again.
Xiao Xixi handed the cloak to the court lady beside her, turning his eyes around on Jing Fei's pale and ugly face, and said without hurriedness.
"If my palace guessed correctly, you didn't bring any extra cloak out tonight.
You wear this cloak and go out.
You took off your cloak before jumping into the lake.
Because this cloak is too thick, once it enters the water, it will definitely become very heavy.
If you wear it, it will inevitably increase a lot of burden, and may even affect the speed at which others can rescue you out of the water.
In such a cold day, if you stay in the water for a long time, even if you don’t drown, you may freeze to death.
You jumped into the lake just to alleviate your suspicion. By the way, you sold miserable sympathy. You didn't really want to die, so you deliberately took off your cloak before jumping into the lake. "
Jing Concubine avoided her sight and smiled miserably: "The imperial concubine wants to convict her concubine with just a cloak? Concubine can die, but her concubine does not accept this unnecessary charge."
Xiao Xixi: "It's quite stubborn. Huachun and Zhi'er died one after another. Attendant Shao Xuan was also almost killed. You can't do so many things on your own. Do you want my palace to pull all the people who are waiting for you? Go to the Judgment Department and try again, maybe they can know something?"
Hearing this, Dong Ling's expression changed, and he knelt down in a hurry: "The concubine and empress are forgiving, and the servants don't know anything!"
Luo Qinghan: "Send all the people in Yingfu Palace to the Shen Xing Division."
As soon as this remark came out, almost everyone in the Yingfu Palace was driven to ruin.
People in the palace know that if anyone enters the Department of Sentences, he will have to peel off his skin if he doesn’t die!
If these people are sent to the Department of Penalty, I'm afraid they will come out again without their lives.
The begging sounds one after another.
However, it was useless. The maids and eunuchs in Yingfu Palace were all dragged away by the guards.
Jing Concubine heard those desperate crying, she only felt cold all over, colder than when she was soaked in the cold lake.
She is very careful in her daily affairs. When doing things that are not visible, she will deliberately avoid the people who are around her.
It can take a long time, those people who are waiting around will inevitably be aware of it.
It's just that everyone is tacitly tacitly aware.
Now the people in Yingfu Palace are dragged to the Shen Xing Department for interrogation, Jing Fei cannot ensure that these people are tight-lipped.
In case someone sells her...
