Hong Ran stopped, still having some expectations in his heart.
Then I heard the princess say:
"Tell outsiders that you and I will sleep together tonight."
Hong Ran suddenly felt an ominous feeling. Was the princess trying to set him up as a target
But what else can he do
Nothing can be changed except to be more careful in everything in the future.
The next day, when Shao Xinglan learned what happened in the concubine's house yesterday, he almost died of anger.
Okay, the concubine must fight with her, right
She showed her affection to the concubine, but the concubine didn't know how to restrain herself. Instead, she made Shao Sichen even more sad. She even went to favor other servants, so don't blame her for being rude.
Then more than half a month later, Pingya was reported, saying that Pingya raped civilian men, allowed her family to bully the market, and even assassinated competitors.
Pingya's family background is not bad, and there is a shop at home, so these charges are not out of place.
Ping Ya is the most capable female officer around the concubine, and she has a deep relationship with the concubine. If Ping Ya is removed, the concubine will definitely feel unhappy.
Moreover, the concubine will also be affected by it, and she will not be able to discipline others well. It can even be said that these are all condoned by the concubine.
If the princess cannot abandon Ping Ya, she will be accused of shielding her subordinates.
What's more, it can be said that these are the instructions given by the queen, and Pingya is just the executor.
If it was reported that the concubine behaved like this, all the officials would be disappointed.
However, she also left room for the princess. As long as the princess is good to her brother, she can help the princess regain recognition from everyone.
It all depends on how the queen chooses.
Pingya, who was shot while lying down: "..."
Moreover, Shao Xinglan brought people to the concubine's residence to ask for someone.
Said to take Ping Ya back for interrogation.
Meng Li stood in front of the concubine's house, silently confronting Shao Xinglan. After a long time, Shao Xinglan said:
"Your Highness, please do not obstruct me from doing my business."
Meng Li asked:
"Is it fun?"
Shao Xinglan prepared for this matter for half a month.
Shao Xinglan looked at Meng Li doubtfully:
"I don't understand what Your Highness means."
Meng Li curled his lips and said:
"If you can provide evidence, I will let you take the person away."
Shao Xinglan said seriously:
"These people will naturally be taken away for interrogation and then judged based on the evidence. Your Highness can rest assured that I will never wrongly accuse any innocent person."
Pingya didn't want to see the princess in trouble, so she whispered to Meng Li:
"Your Highness, just let me go. Those who are clean will clean themselves up."
Meng Li looked at Shao Xinglan indifferently. In fact, as long as he lowered his head and said a word, Ping Ya would not be taken away.
In the plot, Ping Ya also encountered this, but the client did not bow her head. It was not that she did not care about Ping Ya, but that she always believed that dignity was more important.
Meng Li didn't bow his head either. There was nothing to bow his head to.
The Queen must be watching these things.
"What I want is evidence." Meng Li said solemnly.
Shao Xinglan raised his eyebrows:
"Does Your Highness definitely want evidence?"
"Won't you regret it?"
Meng Li: "Are you threatening me?"
Shao Xinglan shook his head: "I don't dare."
She left with someone, and about an hour later, she came again with someone.
In addition to the people she brought, there was also a man who was delicate and beautiful. When he saw Meng Li leading Ping Ya out, he pointed at Ping Ya and said with fear:
"Sir, it's her, she..."
The man seemed to have thought of an extremely unbearable scene, and his whole body was filled with despair and pain. He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, tears fell down.
Meng Li looked at this man and smiled a little.
This actor has good acting skills.
Ping Ya: “…”
She definitely knew this person.
also…
This beauty is good, but she will never let her snatch it away.
Crazy.
What benefit does it bring to the Prime Minister's Palace to torment the concubine
Shao Xinglan looked at Pingya seriously:
"do you know him?"
Ping Ya shook her head unflatteringly:
"do not know."
Shao Xinglan sneered: "You've done it and you dare not admit it, but he has evidence."
Then she glanced at the man, and several tears fell down his face.
Meng Li felt that there should be another line at this moment: Please start your performance.
The man started to perform. He looked at Pingya in great pain and said:
"That day I went to the temple to offer incense and met you. You asked me to go with you and said you wanted me to accompany you. But I am a good person, how could I do such a thing?"
"If I don't obey, you threaten me."
"I was so frightened that I hurriedly took the sedan chair to go home, but you kidnapped me on the way."
He looked at Shao Xinglan again and said in horror:
"Sir, she is a devil, I..."
"I'm scared."
He pulled off his clothes, and there were criss-crossing whip marks on his shoulders.
Then he covered his face and cried bitterly, shouting:
"My innocence is gone, I don't want to live anymore..."
"I still have evidence. There are three moles on her back..."
Meng Li glanced at Ping Ya:
"It's quite flowery."
It’s quite fun to play.
Pingya: "?"
After realizing what the princess was saying, Pingya quickly explained:
"Your Highness, please listen to my explanation."
Meng Li looked sideways at Ping Ya: "Okay."
For some reason, Pingya lost interest in explaining for a moment.
never mind.
tired.
Just be misunderstood.
But these whip marks were really not made by her.
Now that I think about it, she was set up.
She accidentally drank too much and woke up next to such a person. What could she do
Skull hurts.
I didn't pay much attention to it at the time.
After all, it was normal for this kind of thing to happen around her.
Seeing Pingya's confused expression, Shao Xinglan showed a slightly proud expression.
Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly saw the concubine looking deeply at the man beside her and saying:
"Manlan."
The man's wailing stopped suddenly, he took away the hand covering his face, and looked at Meng Li in astonishment.
How does the other party know his real name
Even Shao Xinglan didn't know why. Manlan wiped her face and suddenly said to Shao Xinglan:
"Sir, I made a mistake. It was not her. She was not the one who snatched me away at that time."
Shao Xinglan: "..."
Ping Ya: “…”
Shao Xinglan couldn't help but glare at Manlan, but Manlan still insisted:
"I'm sorry, sir. I really admit my mistake. Please spare the little one."
Now it was Shao Xinglan's turn to feel her head hurt, and she gritted her teeth and said:
"Then you can see clearly next time."
"Yes, yes..." Manlan nodded.
Shao Xinglan glanced at Meng Li doubtfully and planned to start talking about other things. After all, Ping Ya seemed to be more than just this 'crime'.
Meng Li first stretched out his hand to wave to Shao Xinglan, gesturing for her to come over.
Shao Xinglan walked over to see what the other party said.
The two of them withdrew from the crowd, and Meng Li whispered in Shao Xinglan's ear:
"I'm warning you, if you come to me for anything, don't make an issue out of the people around me."
Naturally, Shao Xinglan couldn't speak harshly to Meng Li. After all, one was a princess and the other was just a minister.
She only said: "Your Highness, you may have misunderstood. I always deal with matters on a case-by-case basis."
