The maid's words undoubtedly pulled Jin Xin into the abyss.
She looked at the maid, frowned, and asked in a cold voice, "Since you are the maid next to Concubine Yu, and you know that Concubine Yu has a heart disease, why didn't you stay by her side? I remember that when Concubine Yu fell down, , you were called here at the Jinfeng Yulu Palace, right?"
When the maid heard the words, she immediately leaned down and said in a panic, "It is obvious that the maid in the palace did not allow the slave to be here and drove the slave back. It is true that the slave did not dare to disobey. The slave is so soft-spoken, how can he dare to disobey the order? What's more, the palace is full of people. It is said that the queen is the kindest person, and this slave naturally thinks so too. Isn’t that what the queen hinted at when the maid drove me away?"
This slave's reply was so smooth, and had naturally been rehearsed for a long time. Jin Xin looked at Shen Yin with her eyes closed on the bed, and in her heart she wished she could go forward and grab her up to tell her to stop pretending.
Since she was forced to enter the palace, she just wanted to find a place to die, but she still came to frame her. Jin Xin asked herself, did she not offend Shen Yin?
But she knew that she couldn't pretend to be noble and really said what I felt guilty about.
"Your Majesty, I have never asked anyone to drive this slave away. Please inquire clearly before Your Majesty makes a decision." Jin Xin looked at Chu Sheng, who had a gloomy face, and spoke gently.
Chu Sheng frowned, but did not refuse and nodded.
She took a deep breath and looked at the maid, "Since you said someone from this palace asked you to leave, please identify who gave you the order."
Saying that, Lian Rong quickly went to call all the people in Cheng'en Palace and waited outside. After Lian Rong came in to report, she then called everyone in the palace to come in in groups of ten, stood in a row, and said, "You But you see clearly, who told you to leave?"
When the maid saw this posture, she was also a little stunned. She walked back by herself at that time. According to the master's instructions, she said and did everything she was told. This would make her identify who was driving her away, but she didn't. Bottom.
"Let you speak, is there the person you mentioned among these people?" Lianrong asked coldly.
When the maid heard this, she was frightened and shook her head hastily.
Lianrong motioned for the next group to come in.
The maid's current thinking was following Jin Xin's arrangements, and she couldn't turn her mind away. She couldn't use the words she had prepared. She was led by the nose and asked to identify those people, but no one drove her away.
She fell into restlessness and anxiety.
The maid couldn't say anything and could only shake her head. Finally, another batch was changed, which was also the last batch. The maid looked at the maid in front of her and became even more panicked.
"Don't these people also have the person you mentioned?" Lianrong asked coldly.
The maid gritted her teeth, looked at Cui Gu who was standing aside, and said loudly, "She asked me to leave."
The maid felt that this aunt must be of high rank and someone that Concubine De Gui valued, so she would have no problem expelling her.
Hearing this, Jin Xin laughed and said, "You can see clearly whether it is her or not."
Seeing Jin Xin's sneer, the maid suddenly felt unsure. She gritted her teeth and said nothing. Lianrong said at this time, "Cui Gu is specially responsible for taking care of our eldest prince. Are you sure she has appeared in front of you?"
The maid's face turned even paler now, and she immediately shook her head and pointed at Lian Lianrong, "It's not her, it's you. It was you who said that I was standing here as an eyesore and that my master didn't deserve to be favored, and you pushed me away."
Lianrong frowned, "There is a big age difference between me and Cui Gu. Now you say it's her, and now you mean me, and then you say I insulted Jade Concubine. Can't you even see clearly the person who scolded you at that time? Besides, even if someone insults you, do you just leave? You know clearly that Jade Concubine has a heart disease and cannot live without your medicine, but you leave privately, what is your intention? "
The maidservant's body went limp, and she quickly turned around and knelt down to the emperor, crying, "Your Majesty, this slave was made things difficult for me at that time, and I was very frightened. I can't remember who drove this slave away. Your Majesty must make the decision for my master."
"You're talking nonsense. Jade Concubine had a sudden heart attack just now, and it was Cui Gu in our Lord's womb who helped save her. If you had been waiting here just now, Jade Concubine would not have fainted at all. Your slander is full of loopholes. Aren't you deliberately trying to provoke discord between the Jade Concubine and my master? You have bad intentions!"
Lianrong's words were struck down hard, but the slaves were frightened. They wanted to beg for mercy, but found that the emperor's eyes were cold. She wanted to beg the master to save her, but the emperor ordered, "This slave is not serving well, but If you try to slander the imperial concubine, drag her down and kill her with a stick."
The slave girl was so frightened that she begged for mercy. At this time, Shen Yin on the bed coughed a few times and slowly woke up. The emperor immediately stepped forward and took her hand, with worried eyes, "A Yin, how are you?"
Shen Yin's eyes gradually returned to clarity, and he looked at Jin Xin bitterly, "Your Majesty, I'm sorry, it's my physical weakness that has dragged you down. Please, please be noble and let my maid go."
When the emperor heard this, he said, "Ayin, I don't trust having such a person by your side. Being so careless in doing things will harm you in the future."
Jin Xin also said, "Yes, this troublesome slave clearly did something wrong, but he wants to provoke you and me, causing the emperor to almost misunderstand that we have a quarrel. You must not keep such a slave with evil intentions."
Shen Yin wanted to say something, but Jin Xin loudly said to the imperial doctor, "The imperial doctors, you might as well check how Concubine Yu is doing, but you have to look more carefully."
Several imperial doctors had no choice but to step forward and take turns checking his pulse.
The sound of execution with sticks was heard outside, and the maidservant was naturally silenced and beaten until she died.
Shen Yin's face was very ugly, and his back molars were almost broken.
The emperor was sitting on the edge, a little embarrassed. Looking at Jin Xin's calm and generous eyes, he felt a little guilty. Just now he blamed her without asking anything clearly, but she was still so considerate for the sake of Concubine Jade. He was being narrow-minded.
Jin Xin is not that kind of person. She has always been docile, sensible, and polite. She always cares about her own feelings and will never do anything mean to make herself angry.
With this thought in mind, his gaze towards Jin Xin became a little softer and more loving.
Concubine Yu was on the bed, looking at the emperor's gentle and doting eyes on Jin Xin, but she felt unhappy in her heart, and even more disappointed in the emperor.
He said no matter how much he liked himself, didn't he still have attachment to other women?
He can't do this, even if he doesn't love him, he can't love others.
"Your Majesty, I am still feeling very uncomfortable. Please send me back to the palace." Shen Yin said.
When Chu Sheng heard this, he hummed and asked someone to come in and lift Concubine Yu into a sedan chair and drive her away.
Before going out, the emperor looked at Jin Xin with a somewhat guilty look in his eyes and said, "What happened just now is that I wrongly blamed you and wronged you."
"It's good that Concubine Yu is fine. I also believe that the emperor is a wise king and will not wrongly accuse me." Jin Xin pretended to be considerate and said with a smile.
Chu Sheng hummed and shook her hand, "I will have dinner here tonight."
After saying that, he went out.
After they all left, Jin Xin's expression returned to its original state. When she walked into the inner room, she felt sick looking at her bed and said to Lianrong, "Take out everything on the bed and burn it."
