Chapter 53:
Suddenly, everyone present was shocked when they heard this.
Especially Yi Jieyu, who was kneeling under the seat, had escaped to death, but she was relieved, and her eyes changed instantly when she heard this, and she raised her head to look at Xue Yan.
For this kind of thing, she naturally has to send the most trusted maid to do it. The one brought from home, who has been with her since childhood, is also a trainee, and is not the most suitable candidate to follow her around like Taozhi.
But she did not expect that Xue Yan's eyes were so good that she could even remember clearly.
She looked up and saw Xue Yan turned around calmly and pointed to a palace maid behind her.
"It should be her, with a mole on her left cheek. There were fireworks upstairs last night, and my son really saw it." Xue Yan said.
Now the three people who are related to this matter are here, and everyone present can see the connection without thinking about it.
Suddenly, everyone's expressions became unpredictable.
Especially the Qing Ping Emperor on the seat, his expression changed, and his eyes suddenly became sharp.
He never thought that this little white flower like Jieyu would have such a means.
The shackles that hit... are all made by this woman.
It involves both the imperial heir and the court.
He didn't expect that the one that gave him the most peace of mind turned out to be the one that caused him the most trouble.
At the same time that Emperor Qing Ping couldn't believe it, a burst of anger rushed into his heart.
I was toyed with by such a weak woman.
He looked at Yi Jieyu and asked angrily, "Is it your maid?!"
Yi Jieyu looked at Emperor Qingping with crying eyes.
Her father saved her by retreating, and took the opportunity to show his loyalty in front of the emperor. Originally, this matter passed, even if she was claustrophobic, she still had a chance. Her child has already reached the age to enter the court. As long as he can board the Dabao, he will have hope.
The matter involved the dispute over the storage position, and it was also a big rebellion against the Qing Ping Emperor.
If this is the case, not only will she die, but also her prince and the entire Xu family will be implicated. Then her prince will no longer have the power to turn around.
Yi Jieyu shook her head quickly: "Your Majesty, I don't know about this matter!"
She was bitten to death and refused to admit it. The matter of her private meeting with Lingtai Lang was seen by everyone and couldn't be argued, but what the palace maid did last night, Xue Yan could not rely on Xue Yan alone.
Sure enough, Emperor Qing Ping didn't say anything and looked at Xue Yan.
"Anyone else see?" he asked.
There were only two people in that remote place, Xue Yan and Jun Huailang, and Jun Huailang was still in a coma. What's more, even if Jun Huailang was awake, he and the palace maid only looked at each other once or twice, and most of them couldn't recognize them.
It's natural not to rely on him alone.
Xue Yan did not panic.
He cupped his hands and said: "Father, my son has not mistakenly remembered, but there is no other evidence. This person can be sent to the Department of Judgment and Punishment, and then dealt with."
Yi Jieyu breathed a sigh of relief.
Her father is here at this time, so naturally he doesn't know what to do.
The officials and eunuchs of the Department of Prudence and Punishment are all involved in his family. It couldn't be easier to kill someone quietly.
…This kid looks shrewd, but he's really not.
The Emperor Qingping nodded and agreed.
"Let's do it," he said.
Just when Yi Jieyu breathed a sigh of relief, Xue Yan spoke again.
"My son has requested an order to try this maid in person," he said.
The Qing Emperor looked at him.
I saw Xue Yan and said lightly: "I have seen the palace maid, I have had contact with her, and I have something to ask her. I am also afraid that there will be any mistakes in the Department of Circumstances and Punishment. If you torture the prisoner to death, you will die without proof."
The words "death without proof" fell lightly into the ears of Yi Jieyu and her daughter.
Everyone can hear that he is afraid that they will kill the prisoner in secret, so he has to watch it in person.
The Emperor Qing Ping agreed.
After all, if it is true, then this palace maid is the murderer who framed Prince Yongning. If he died inexplicably, he would not be able to represent Yongning Bus.
After all, in the next few years, there is still a place to use him.
Xue Yan added: "My son also wants to ask the royal father to send some troops to my son."
The Qing Emperor asked: "What do you want people to do?"
Xue Yan glanced at Xu Xiang who was lying on the ground.
"My son wants to send someone out of the palace to search, this palace maid has a family." He said lightly. "If it is controlled by others, this person will definitely not be able to tell the truth, and the trial will be much more difficult."
Yi Jieyu widened her eyes in disbelief.
When this palace maid had an accident in the palace, the Xu family would naturally control her parents to ensure that she would not talk nonsense.
But these... all made Xue Yan tell Qing Ping clearly.
She only thought that when she sent this son to Yandi, she would definitely raise barbarians in that wild land, but she never thought that she would raise a wolf.
Xue Yan looked sideways and looked at her calmly.
When Emperor Qing Ping heard the words, he felt that what he said was reasonable, he glanced at Xu Xiang again, and said, "Do it yourself, I will send a team of Jinwuwei to listen to you."
Anyway, it was Xue Yan who made the request, and it was Xue Yan who did the work. Just let him do it, Emperor Qingping himself also wanted to know if the Xu family had such wolf ambitions, and they really buried their eyes in the palace like this.
Xue Yan heard the words, thanked him without being humble or arrogant, glanced at Jinbao, and led him out.
Behind him, Xu Xiang, who was kneeling on the ground, looked back at Yi Jieyu.
Now, this palace maid can't move, and her family doesn't dare to move rashly. In order to prevent accidents, they can only minimize the losses to ensure the safety of the Xu family.
They were father and daughter for many years, and Yi Jieyu understood what he meant with just one look.
I am... going to be abandoned by the Xu family.
Yi Jieyu lost her strength in her legs, knelt on the ground, and two lines of clear tears fell.
—
The Department of Prudence and Punishment did not use much punishment, so the palace maid obediently confessed.
She only said that Yi Jieyu was secretly jealous of Concubine Shu's favor, so she put her mind on Concubine Shu's nephew and sent her to push Jun Huailang into the water, so she wanted to give Concubine Shu one lesson.
And this matter has nothing to do with the Xu family, nor with the fourth prince. It was Yi Jieyu who was jealous, so she did something stupid.
Xue Yan sat outside the cell, watching the palace maid draw the bond, and asked the people from the Shenxing Division to send the paper to Emperor Qingping.
Not long after, Emperor Qing Ping came to the imperial decree to split the car of the palace maid, and Yi Jieyu gave a white silk to kill herself.
Xue Yan handed over the imperial decree to Jin Wuwei for execution, and got up, since the Shenxing Division went out.
As soon as he left the Department of Penalties, Jinbao followed him.
"Master, why don't you continue the investigation?" He asked in a low voice hastily. "It's clear that her confession is completely inconsistent with the facts, and you still let the Xu family send someone in to give her a message!"
Jinbao was dying.
Xue Yan glanced at him lightly.
"Yi Jieyu is dead." He hooked his lips. "Will suffice."
Jinbao heard the words, still unwilling, and whispered behind Xue Yan.
"You shouldn't tell them all about your plans in front of them!" he whispered. "If you go to check on him secretly, wouldn't it be an accurate check! It's just a pity, alas..."
Xue Yan raised her eyebrows.
Have you been acting too kind these days? Why does this minion's dog's guts look a lot bigger.
"You are very noisy." Xue Yan looked sideways and said lightly.
Jin Bao had to shut his mouth and quietly followed behind him.
Xue Yan retracted his gaze.
His words naturally have to be said. He waited until Xu Xiang entered the door before he recognized the palace maid, just to tell Xu Xiang these words.
The Xu family has a great business, a deep foundation and a wide network of contacts. Not to mention a team of Jin Wuwei, even if he was given three times the number, nothing could be found in a short period of time.
He deliberately said those words in front of Emperor Qingping, just to scare them.
They had already lost face in front of Emperor Qing Ping, panicked and dejected, and when such a big thing was discovered, they would definitely not dare to gamble again. Even if there is only a 50% chance of being found out, they dare not take the risk.
Yi Jieyu is now just a commoner who has been abandoned to the cold palace, and is no longer useful to the Xu family.
The only thing left now is the father-daughter relationship between her and Xu Xiang, and Xu Xiang is extremely courteous.
What I want is Yi Jieyu's life.
She dared to put her hands on Jun Huailang, and she had already committed a big taboo for him. Although he has no power now, it is not difficult to kill her by taking advantage of the power of all parties.
Thinking of Jun Huailang, Xue Yan paused.
From yesterday he went to the Buddhist temple to copy the scriptures, until now, he has not even seen Jun Huailang.
Only last night, I heard that he had a fever, but he had to stay in the Buddhist hall in person at that time, so that Jinbao could catch the two logically.
…he should go see him.
Xue Yan suddenly felt a little nostalgic for some reason, and even inexplicably thought of the last night in the water...the forced touch.
No matter what the reason, my lips touched the other's lips.
This thought made Xue Yan's brain suddenly hot, and his ears were burning hot.
It's a bit of a... rude.
The wolf cub who grew up in this barren land never knew what etiquette was, and now such a thought suddenly popped into his head.
He cleared his throat calmly, looked at Jinbao, and tried hard to pretend that nothing happened.
"Where is the prince at this time, can you wake up?" He said reservedly.
The fever subsided last night, I should wake up at this time, but I don't know what it is.
Xue Yan didn't know what to say when he saw him, but he was eager to see him.
See if he is safe and sound, and let him know that those who hurt him have been dealt with by himself.
Ke Jinbao faltered.
"His Royal Highness, he... went back."
Xue Yan was taken aback: "What?"
Jin Bao carefully glanced at his expression.
He now knows two or three things about this King of Hell, and he even knows the status of that living Bodhisattva in his heart.
"This..." Jinbao still said. "Before the sunrise today, His Royal Highness had a fever, and Mrs. Yongning insisted to bring him home. Neither the Emperor nor Concubine Shu stopped him, so..."
Jinbao swallowed.
"...His Royal Highness has already left the palace and returned to the palace."
Speaking, he secretly glanced at Xue Yan.
Sure enough, the corners of the upturned lips of this living **** king that he thought were well hidden, drooped little by little.
