The beast swallows the setting sun, the bow moon shoots meteors, and the heat that has been rolling all day finally subsides at this moment, and the air gradually has a cool smell, and for Hanzhang Palace, it has been surrounded by low pressure a long time ago, like a polar region. Hanchuan.
It has to be said that Bai Zhixuan's accusation was very clever. She only pointed out Ye Huaiyang's motive for killing Wang Yaru, but did not say anything about Chu Jinglan and her getting together. It's too clear to say it in front of so many people, so the queen mother can only notice it herself, otherwise the first person to die without evidence is her, the person who broke the rules of the game. She has been in the palace for many years, and of course she knows this very well, so her current purpose is to put the charge of murder on Ye Huaiyang's head, so that the difficulty is over.
"Miss Ye, is what the noble man said true?"
Ye Huaiyang slowly raised his head, and answered the Queen decisively: "Absolutely not."
Bai Zhixuan snorted coldly: "Open your eyes and talk nonsense."
"The noble person ruined my boudoir reputation in front of everyone without any evidence and said that I was lying? I have only met the prince a few times, and have never communicated in private. Such a big hat of murder because of jealousy is put on, I can bear it. Sorry!"
Ye Huaiyang's tone was a little heavier, and her chest heaved slightly, as if she was furious. Seeing this, Bai Zhixuan felt more and more that she was good at acting.
"You and the lord live together in the same square, and the two mansions are only separated by rafters and tiles. Do you dare to say that you don't communicate privately on weekdays?"
Ye Huaiyang kowtowed to the queen mother and said, "The queen mother knows that the house was purchased by my father many years ago. At the beginning of last year, the girl was seriously ill, and she moved to recuperate after remembering that the environment was quiet and there was no noise from other neighbors. As for the prince's return to the prince's capital and living next door after a few months, it is not expected by the ministers and daughters, and it is too late to be cautious in words and deeds, so how dare you go up to the prince's personal friendship?"
Bai Zhixuan roared: "You are talking nonsense!"
"Is the servant girl talking nonsense? Originally, Miss Yaru could prove it with a single sentence. Now that she has passed away, the servant girl has to defend herself." Ye Huaiyang slowly turned her body to face Chu Jing. Lan, looked at him briefly and then leaned down and kowtowed again, "The minister and daughter are disrespectful, although the prince Yushu Linfeng is comparable to an immortal, but after all, he is too old. Being arrogant and inferior, I would never dare to do such a wicked and perverse thing as adoring uncles, and I would also ask the empress dowager to restore the innocence of the ministers and daughters."
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a familiar scolding: "Presumptuous!"
In front of the Empress Dowager and even all the maids and eunuchs in the Hanzhang Palace, she said that she did not like Chu Jinglan, and that she thought he was too old, was it more than presumptuous? Simply daring!
Ye Huaiyang glanced at Chu Jinglan, whose face was ashen, the little man in his heart was already beating the ground with laughter, but he still pleaded guilty: "Please forgive me, the ministers and daughters can't go against their hearts."
As far as she can't go against her heart, it's her twin sister who dares to gossip with him in the closet!
Chu Jinglan stared at Ye Huaiyang, although there was no emotion on his face, there were dark clouds in his eyes. This woman... lied, her face didn't change and her heart didn't beat, and she also dragged him into the water to accompany her in this scene. When did she want to make trouble
"Okay, shut up for Ai's family." The queen mother finally spoke up, with a childish face and a look of anger, and just one glance made people sweat, "Ai's family has already heard the confession of the noble, Ye Huaiyang, tell me Tell me what happened."
Ye Huaiyang turned around and said eloquently: "Back to the Empress Dowager, the minister and daughter were playing fish by the water at the time, and didn't pay attention to who was in the room at the back. Later, when he heard the quarrel, he pushed open the door to see, and there was a voice inside. Stopped, the noble looked at the servant girl with great surprise, as if she didn't expect someone outside, the servant girl realized that she might be disturbing her chat with Miss Yaru, and wanted to return to the place where she was, but as soon as she turned around, someone was behind her. I bumped it hard, and then I didn't know anything..."
Although these remarks did not clearly point out that Bai Zhixuan was the murderer who pushed people into the water, it did not help her. This vague description was even more suspicious. Bai Zhixuan knew in her heart that Ye Huaiyang said this on purpose, and she was instantly angry. Losing her manners, she reached out and pinched her.
"It's clearly where you asked Ben Gong and Wang Yaru to go, but you are turning right and wrong here! Ben Gong knows that you and the prince have colluded a long time ago, and just want to frame this matter and blame it on Ben Gong!"
Ye Huaiyang pushed Bai Zhixuan several times without pushing Bai Zhixuan away. She only felt that her neck was caught in the steel claws. She lowered her head tacitly, as if she could not hear or see, no one would stop Bai Zhixuan's crazy behavior, and then looked up, she instantly understood.
The queen mother wanted to test her and Chu Jinglan.
Everyone in the Hanzhang Palace is a human being, not to mention the queen mother. That old body carries the wind and frost of two dynasties, and contains the sophistication of the peaks of the harem. I am afraid that I have already heard Bai Zhixuan's implication. , I just took this opportunity to try whether the two of them really had contact, but Fan Ye Huaiyang showed a look of help to Chu Jinglan, and they would not even want to leave the palace today.
Ye Huaiyang quickly lowered his head, struggling towards Bai Zhixuan, far away from Chu Jinglan.
Chu Jinglan sat upright, as cold as a mountain, without a trace of change in his face.
I don't know how long it took, Ye Huaiyang was so painful that he couldn't feel it, and he almost fainted when a deep voice finally came from above: "Presumptuous! Pull her away for Aijia, what a formality!"
The two stout maids immediately rushed forward and pulled Bai Zhixuan apart. Because she was pregnant, they didn't dare to exert too much force, so they tossed it for a long time.
Ye Huaiyang lay on the ground and coughed, her delicate face was as pale as paper, dripping with sweat.
Bai Zhixuan knelt beside her for a long time and looked up at Chu Jinglan after realizing it. Seeing his expressionless face, she smiled slowly.
How sensitive is a woman's heart? Ye Huaiyang's previous actions and the words she said in the waterside pavilion made Bai Zhixuan almost certain that she was in love with Chu Jinglan, but she almost died by her hand just now, and Chu Jinglan didn't react at all. No, it can be seen that Lang's heart is iron.
Ye Huaiyang, even if you win this game, you won't feel good about it, right
Bai Zhixuan smiled to herself, forgetting that she was still in danger, and did not expect Ye Huaiyang to have the strength to fight back against her.
"The Empress Dowager, the ministers and daughters have something to say." Ye Huaiyang slowly knelt down and straightened her body. Although her voice was hoarse, her words were exceptionally clear, not as calm as someone who had just experienced torture.
"Go ahead."
"One, if the servant girl tried to harm Yaru girl, how could she fall down? Second, even if Yaru girl reacted and wanted to drag the servant girl into the water, it should be on top of her, and the servant girl was in the water at that time. She was the first to fall into the water below. Thirdly, if the servant girl really secretly communicated with the prince, how could the prince ask the guards to save the girl Yaru instead of the servant girl?"
When Chu Jinglan heard the last sentence, his black eyes suddenly narrowed.
These three points are well-founded and coherent, and they are the most suitable for arguing against Bai Zhixuan, but when she said that he chose to save others, he was so calm, like an outsider.
Bai Zhixuan was also stunned, for a moment she almost thought she had made a mistake, Ye Huaiyang didn't seem sad at all, and didn't care what choice Chu Jinglan made!
"In your opinion, who pushed Yaru into the water?" The Queen Mother raised her brows, showing a faint majesty.
Ye Huaiyang pondered for a while and gave an unexpected answer: "I thought it was an accident."
The empress dowager gave her a heavy look, and the sharp light poured out in an instant, stabbing people all over the body, like falling into an ice cave.
Accident? The hesitation on her face was clearly seen by others, and there must be something secret that they dared not say. The queen mother pursed her lips and pondered for a moment, and what Bai Zhixuan said flashed in her mind, like a wandering thread, she suddenly wore all the fragments.
She insisted that Ye Huaiyang wanted to get rid of Wang Yaru because of jealousy and hatred, and she might be the one who really hated her because of jealousy!
Bai Zhixuan and Chu Jinglan had a marriage contract. Although she entered the palace later, no one could guarantee that she had forgotten Chu Jinglan in her heart. When Wang Yaru entered the palace to report to the Queen Mother, she did not mention Ye Huaiyang's relationship with Chu Jinglan. She stayed in Lan Wangfu every day, so she could see clearly that there could be no fake.
Before contacting Chu Jinglan in secretly rescuing Bai Xingzhi, the queen mother became more and more sure of what she was thinking. No wonder Ye Huaiyang hesitated to say it. Chu Jinglan was still sitting at the table, how could she dare to speak out about it
No wonder Chu Jinglan entered the palace for the first time in the world, and others also said that he had a deep affection for his concubine, and it turned out that it was the drunkard's intention not to drink!
The queen mother rolled her mind a few times, and finally returned to the matter in front of her. She knew that Ye Huaiyang would definitely not say anything under such circumstances, and she had to find another opportunity to ask questions alone.
At this moment, the queen said slowly, "Sister, if it's an accident, as Miss Ye said, the queen mother won't blame you. You might as well tell the truth, and I can give the Wang family an explanation."
Bai Zhixuan almost bit her silver teeth when she heard this. Although she pushed people down by mistake, she would never let go of Ye Huaiyang who designed all this!
"Empress mother, this is not an accident! Ye Huaiyang deliberately provoked the concubine to..."
The queen mother was furious and shouted at Bai Zhixuan: "Shut up! Haven't you made enough jokes today! If it wasn't for the sake of the dragonborn in your belly, Aijia would have dealt with you!"
These words are already very serious. Bai Zhixuan has never seen such a fierce posture in dealing with the Queen Mother before, and her face suddenly turned pale, and she couldn't say another word.
"Mom, let go of her anger. My sister must have been awake for a while. Why don't you ask this first today. When she returns to Zhuo Xinyuan and thinks it through, everything will be clear."
The empress dowager's anger subsided a little, and snorted coldly: "Zhuxinyuan? It would be great if she could cleanse her heart!"
"Empress mother, don't worry, Erchen will look at her sister and make her reflect on her life. Don't get angry and hurt your body."
After speaking, the queen winked at the side, and several palace maids immediately stepped forward and took Bai Zhixuan away. Bai Zhixuan's face was ashen, I don't know if she was scared or was not feeling well. They fiddle.
The queen's gaze then turned back to Ye Huaiyang, she knelt silently, her lips were white, her breathing was deep, and she was obviously at the end of her fight. Well, I will summon you to the palace after this palace investigates it in detail."
"The servants obey."
Ye Huaiyang left the hall in a vain step. Soon, Chu Jinglan also swept up his sleeves and said, "It's getting late, I have to retire first. If the empress finds out the truth, please inform Yu Chen."
"Of course." The Queen smiled slightly and watched Chu Jinglan leave.
At this moment, it is already dark outside, and the bright moon has disappeared into the clouds. The long palace and alleys are not illuminated by candles. It is dark, and it is almost impossible to see the end. The willow branches and vines that are quite artistic in the daytime are now ghosts. A shadow like this, swaying back and forth in front of his eyes, is especially scary.
Ye Huaiyang was thinking about whether there was anything wrong with what she said just now, and didn't pay attention to her surroundings. When she turned a corner, a hand suddenly stretched out from the shadow next to her and dragged her into the crevice of the rockery. She was dizzy. Smell the familiar pine scent.
"Ye Huaiyang, you are really good."
She looked at the man gnashing his teeth in the dark, and smiled softly.
"Uncle Lan Wang's footsteps are very fast, so I'm catching up."
