Chapter 1206: Out of Nothing Jedi Strikes Back (2)
Chapter 1206 Out of Nothing Jedi Counterattack (2)
After closing the door, there were only two of them left in the inner hall.
"What's the matter?" Ning Yue asked pretending to be indifferent.
Concubine Liu Gui's eyeballs moved, she lowered her voice slightly and said, "It's about the case of the Geng family."
Ning Yue's heart moved, she came to see Concubine Liu Gui for the case of the Geng family, unexpectedly Concubine Liu Gui was more restless than her, before she opened her mouth, Concubine Liu Gui brought it to the fore, so it's better, Save her being so passive.
"What happened to the Geng family case?" She slightly increased the volume.
After two face-to-face meetings, Concubine Liu Gui could feel that Ning Yue is a person who hides her secrets. If not, how could she not fall at all under the "sugar-coated shells" of so many concubines? Therefore, she did not dare to underestimate this little girl in her heart. With a smile on her face, she said: "Prince Xuan interrogated the case of the Geng family overnight, the princess of the county must have heard about it, right?"
Ning Yue said: "I heard that King Xuan's diligence is really a blessing to the community."
Concubine Liu Gui covered her face with a smile: "The princess of the county can really talk!" After a pause, she continued: "It's just that the suspect's tone was very tight, he refused to admit that he ordered An Luhuai to set the fire, and insisted that he was framed by someone. Yes, even An Luhuai is a false witness brought in by others to slander her!"
When she said this, her eyes stared at Ning Yue without blinking, as if she didn't want to let go of any of Ning Yue's expressions.
Ning Yue smiled: "What is the meaning of the imperial concubine's question? Could it be that the Geng Patriarch who really believed in the words said that I was looking for An Luhuai?"
"No, I didn't mean that! It's just that after the interrogation, Patriarch Geng refused to plead guilty, which makes people wonder if he was really wronged." Concubine Liu Gui said with a look of embarrassment.
"Is she wronged? Didn't the empress see it at the first sight?" Ning Yue picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea calmly.
Concubine Liu Gui's heart skipped a beat. That's right. As early as yesterday, when An Luhuai testified against Patriarch Geng, she suspected that An Luhuai was making a false testimony, but it was a good thing that the Geng family fell, so she and the emperor chose to Turning a blind eye and shutting eyes, let Patriarch Geng be wronged—but when An Lu conceived into the palace, Ma Ningyue had already left, how did she know that she saw something strange at the first sight?
My heart...some hairy...
"An Luhuai couldn't be the one you... were looking for?"
If so, then those people in the Marshal's Mansion are too courageous! He actually wronged the head of the southern Xinjiang in the imperial palace and under His Majesty's nose!
Ning Yue smiled lightly and said, "My lady, up to now, there is only one truth: An Luhuai is an arsonist, and the master behind the scenes is the Geng family master. What do you think, my lady?"
Her smile is calm and charming, like a lily of the valley silently blooming in the spring breeze, but that smile doesn't reach her eyes, making people look weird.
Even though Ning Yue's smile made Concubine Liu feel terrified, Concubine Liu had to admit that Ning Yue was right. From the moment she and King Xuan chose to let An Luhuai slander Patriarch Geng, they had already cut off all escape routes. Once Patriarch Geng was allowed to overturn the case, then not only An Luhuai, but also their neglectful mother and son would be unlucky. Not to mention that King Xuan kept saying that Patriarch Geng had committed a crime, and he took over the case in the name of getting the other party to plead guilty.
After thinking about this, her expression gradually became firm: "You are right, the truth... There can only be one."
"Your Majesty is a sensible person." Ning Yue took a sip of tea.
Concubine Liu Gui pondered for a moment, and said: "But he has never pleaded guilty, so we can't execute him forcibly."
