Suddenly, everyone present was shocked when they heard this.
Especially Yi Jieyu, who was kneeling under the seat, had escaped to her death, but she was relieved. When she heard this, her eyes changed instantly, and she looked up at Xue Yan.
Naturally, she would send the most trustworthy maid to do this kind of thing. 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 didn't expect that Xue Yan's eyes were so good that he could even remember it clearly.
She raised her head and saw Xue Yan turned around calmly and pointed to a palace maid behind her.
"It should be her. There is a mole on her left cheek. There were fireworks upstairs last night, and my son really saw it." Xue Yan said.
It was Yi Jieyu who deceived Jun Huailang and pushed him out of Taiye Pond, and Yi Jieyu had an affair with the Lingtai Lang in Qin Tian prison, who inferred that there was evil today.
Now the three people related to this matter are here, and everyone present can see the connection without having to think 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 had never imagined that Jieyu, who was like a little white flower, would have such a means.
If it was her who pushed Jun Huailang down from Taiye Lake last night, then the eldest son of the Jun family was injured, he had a quarrel with Yongning Gongsheng, and Xue Yan was judged to be the evil one who was hit by the eldest son of the Jun family... This woman did it.
It involves both the imperial heir and the court.
He didn't expect that the one that gave him the most peace of mind was the one who caused him the most trouble in the end.
At the same time when Emperor Qing Ping couldn't believe it, a surge of anger rushed into his heart.
He was actually being played by such a weak woman in the palm of his hand.
He looked at Yi Jieyu and asked angrily, "Is it your palace maid?!"
Yi Jie Yu looked at Emperor Qing Ping with red 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.
But if this matter is to be confirmed, it is that they used the power of Shenwei to frame the prince, she could not escape death, and the Xu family could not get rid of it.
The matter involved the battle for the storage position, and it was also a big disobedience to the Qing Ping Emperor.
If this is the case, not only will she die, but her prince will be implicated, and the entire Xu family will be implicated. Then her prince will no longer have the power to turn around.
Yi Jieyu hurriedly shook her head: "Your Majesty, this minister and concubine don't know about this!"
She was bitten to death and refused to admit it, and there was nothing she could do if she wanted to come to Emperor Qingping. 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 Qingping said nothing and looked at Xue Yan.
"Did anyone else see it?" 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 naturally not possible to rely on him alone.
Xue Yan did not panic at all.
He cupped his hands and said, "Father, my son is not mistaken, but there is no other evidence. You can escort this person to the Department of Judgment and Punishment, and then deal with it."
Yi Jieyu breathed a sigh of relief.
Her father is here at this time, and 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 to some extent. It couldn't be easier to kill someone quietly.
... This kid looks shrewd, but it's really nothing more than that.
When Emperor Qingping heard the words, he nodded and agreed.
"Just 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 palace maid in person," he said.
Emperor Qingping looked at him.
Seeing Xue Yan said lightly: "Erchen has seen the palace maid once, has had contact with her, and has something to ask her. Erchen is also afraid that something will be wrong with the Department of Penalty and Punishment. It's dead without proof."
The words "death without proof" fell lightly in the ears of Yi Jieyu and her daughter.
Everyone could tell that he was afraid that they would kill the prisoner in secret, so he wanted to watch it in person.
After thinking about it, Emperor Qingping 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 said again: "My son also wants to ask the royal father to allocate some troops to my son."
Emperor Qingping 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's eyes widened in disbelief.
The palace maid was the one she brought from home to give birth to a child, and the parents of the family were naturally at their own home and listened to her parents' dispatch. 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 clearly tell the Qing Ping Emperor.
She only thought that if she sent this son to Yandi, she would definitely raise a barbarian in that wild land, but she didn't expect that a wolf would be raised.
Xue Yan looked sideways and looked at her calmly.
When Emperor Qingping 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 your dispatch."
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.
When Xue Yan heard the words, he thanked Jin Bao without being humble or arrogant, glanced at Jin Bao, and led him out.
Behind him, Xu Xiang, who was kneeling on the ground, looked back at Yi Jieyu.
Now, the 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 have been father and daughter for many years, and Yi Jieyu understood what he meant with just one look.
This is... 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 slid down.
—
The Department of Vigilance 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, wanting to teach Concubine Shu a lesson.
And this matter has nothing to do with the Xu family, nor with the fourth prince. It was Yi Jieyu herself who was jealous, so she did something stupid.
Xue Yan sat outside the cell, watching the palace maid draw the arrest, and asked the people from the Department of Sanitation and Punishment 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 bestowed Bai Ling to commit suicide.
Xue Yan handed over the imperial decree to Jin Wuwei for execution, and got up, since the Shen Punishment Division went out.
As soon as he left the Shenxing Division, Jinbao followed him.
"Master, why don't you continue to investigate?" 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 in a panic.
Xue Yan glanced at him lightly.
"Yi Jieyu is dead." He hooked his lips. "Will suffice."
When Jinbao heard the words, he was 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 his eyebrows.
Is it because you have been too kind these days? Why does this minion's dog's guts look a lot bigger.
"You're 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.
Naturally, he had to say those words. 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 very 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 lost their faces in front of Emperor Qingping, panicked and depressed, 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.
What is left now is only the father-daughter relationship between her and Xu Xiang, and Xu Xiang is extremely courteous, so naturally the Xu family will not miss the slightest because of this kind of affection.
And what he wanted was Yi Jieyu's life.
She dared to put her hands on Jun Huailang, and she had already committed a major taboo for him. Although he doesn't have much 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.
Since yesterday he went to the Buddhist temple to copy the scriptures, until now, he has not even looked at Jun Huailang.
Only last night, I heard people say that his fever was gone, but he had to stay in the Buddhist hall in person at that time, so that Jinbao could catch the two of them logically.
… He should go see him.
For some reason, Xue Yan suddenly felt a little homeless, and even inexplicably thought of the last night in the water... the unavoidable touch.
No matter what the reason, his lips touched the other's lips.
This thought made Xue Yan's mind suddenly heat up, and the roots of his ears were burning hot.
After all, some... rude.
The wolf cub who grew up in this wild land never knew what etiquette was, but now such a thought suddenly popped into his head.
He calmly cleared his throat, looked at Jinbao, and tried hard to pretend that nothing had happened.
"Where is the prince at this time, can you wake up?" He said reservedly.
Presumably the fever subsided last night, and 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 indeed safe and sound, and let him know in person that those who hurt him have been dealt with by himself.
But Jinbao hesitated.
"His Royal Highness, he... went back."
Xue Yan was taken aback: "What?"
Jinbao carefully glanced at his expression.
He now knows two or three things about this King of Hell, and he even knows the status of the 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 saliva.
"...His Royal Highness has already left the palace and returned to the palace."
Saying that, he secretly glanced at Xue Yan.
Sure enough, the corners of the upturned lips of this living hell king that he thought were well hidden drooped down little by little.
