Huo Qiu nodded slightly and motioned for her to continue. Zhong Yuxi seemed to have received some encouragement, and then said: "One of them has a louder voice, so the concubine can hear it clearly. The man asked the other and sent him out. No, the other person only said one thing, this is something that the Empress Empress has confessed, you must be mixed in the waterwheel and sent out of the palace."
After that, she looked at Tang Zhuozhao timidly, her face was in a dilemma, and finally kowtow, and said: "That person also specifically asked not to be noticed, and said that it was from the Nine Clan. Great sin."
Seeing that the expressions of the two of them did not change much, she picked up the veil on the ground again, and her fingertips were a little trembling. "The original concubine thought that they were joking, until the two of them looked hurriedly out of the stone mouth and one of them fell. With this veil, the concubine dared to come out and take a closer look when the people were completely gone."
"It's all blame for the cowardice of the concubines who haven't seen this kind of battle. When I returned to the temple to relax, the more I thought about it, the more I felt that something was wrong, and my heart burned as uncomfortable. It was the night that disturbed the emperor and the queen."
The more Tang Zhuozuo thinks about it, the more it gets wrong, what nonsense is Zhong Yuxi making up? Who can she sneak out of the palace? And the sentence in her mouth that afflicted the nine peoples seemed to be not without a target, so what exactly was it?
She looked down at the steaming tea and frowned.
Is this trying to forcibly buckle an illegitimate hat on her head? But the twists and turns seemed to be different.
Tang Zhuozhuo tilted his head to look at Huo Qiu, his eyelids drooped slightly, no other emotions could be seen, his tone was too weak, but he was very serious, "No concubine."
Compared with Zhong Yuxi's words, the four words gently and skillfully are not convincing.
Huo Qiu's gaze fell on her furiously whitish fingertips, and then slowly moved to her frowning brows. With a noncommittal hum, his long fingers tapped the armrest of the red sandalwood chair lightly, and then said: "Two An hour ago, Wang Yi was rescued from the prison, and now he is missing."
The understatement of word by word made him seem indifferent, but Tang Zhuozuo clearly saw the large haze under his eyes that could not be ignored, which was so intense that it was scary.
Tang Zhuozuo finally understood why Zhong Yuxi took such a lot of trouble. If nothing else, the rumors between her and Wang Yi are not easy to justify, and now she has her veil to testify, which clearly wants to A large basin of sewage was poured on her head.
She even told her that she couldn't stand up at all, and she didn't know the position of the queen, and even involved everyone in the Tang Mansion.
In an instant, Tang Zhuozuo understood that this idea must come from the hands of Mr. Zhong, and Zhong Yuxi hadn't had the ability and courage to make such a seamless game.
So now, how should she break the game?
Or can you just sit and wait?
Tang Zhuozuo was silent for a moment, slowly got up and walked to Zhong Yuxi, picked up the veil under the eyes of everyone, and carefully looked at it, rubbing it with a jade-like finger, and then in front of everyone. Nodded, "It is indeed the handkerchief of the palace."
Moreover, she embroidered it herself, and there were not a few in total.
Zhong Yuxi's expression was a little surprised, and he couldn't help but glance at her more. Originally thought Tang Zhuozuo would deny it no matter what, so that she could logically invite the emperor to search the palace and find her handkerchief. It would be obvious by comparison that all the arguments would be useless by then.
Huo Qiu's left hand turning the prayer beads paused, and for some reason, a slight smile was flashed across his eyes.
This little thing really does not play cards according to common sense.
The moonlight was like silk, glowing with a cold and soft light, Tang Zhuozhuo's heart inevitably burst into anger. She was not a good temperament, not to mention being so framed to her head, she had to be patient. Explain by nature.
What a mess!
She took a breath from the bottom of her heart and captured all the emotions in her eyes. She took a few steps forward, unfolded the veil in front of Huo Qiu, pointed to the pattern above, and said: "This is the hand-embroidered handkerchief by the concubine. Son, there are not many, it is the work of concubines to kill time."
"Look at the emperor, the pattern on the top is the fish and bird pattern that was popular two years ago." After speaking, she took out the veil in her hand for comparison, rubbing the big flower with her fingers, and said: " This is the veil that the concubine carried with him, embroidered with the jade pattern that has only recently become fashionable."
"Even the satin used for the two-sided veil is much worse."
When Zhong Yuxi heard this, he couldn't help but interject: "What does this mean? The empresses embroidered on both sides."
Tang Zhuozhuo didn't bother to look at her, put the two veils into the man's hands, and replied slightly sarcastically, "That's right, Zhong Yan himself would hold the objects from two years ago and swagger around."
Zhong Yuxi was blocked for a while, and his heart was too hated, and his vicious mind grew like a poisonous snake.
The left side will make you linger again, to see how you can achieve such a situation.
The two kerchiefs in Huo Qiu's hand were soft and comfortable, with the remaining warmth of the woman's palms pressed into his heart. He glanced indifferently, keeping his eyes on her.
Tang Zhuozhuo couldn't figure out what he was thinking about. Whether he believed her or not, he could only bite his lower lip and said: "The veils embroidered by the concubine in the past are all in the hands of a backmaster maid."
Her eyes were like the two brightest stars in the night, and when she looked at people, she had a condescending interrogation attitude. At this moment, she was aggravated by her anger. Don't ask deeply about Zhong Yuxi, who is kneeling on the ground, "Zhong You," Say, where is the maid in this palace now?"
Zhong Yuxi's face suddenly turned pale, and he didn't understand why the scene of catching the had become this way.
Tang Zhuozuo also had a lot of doubts about this matter, such as Wang Yi being robbed, and watching the dialogue between the two in Zhong Yuxi's mouth, it didn't seem like a fiction.
So is this someone who wants to use Zhong Yuxi's hand to pull himself down, or is it a big show planned by the Zhong family?
If it is the latter, it would be too far-fetched and absurd. There are so many secrets in the harem. If it is really for favor, why bother going around in a big circle or even going to the prison to rescue people?
Such a big move, Huo Qiu would definitely notice that it would be harmful to the Zhong family, but no one would benefit, but anyone with some brains would not be able to do such a thing.
Tang Zhuozuo was thoughtful, but was pulled back by Zhong Yuxi's composure voice.
"How did the concubines know what the lady asked about?"
Zhong Yuxi looks delicate and tender, like the official lady of the Jiangnan family, and his bones are immersed in a style of Chu Chu. However, the emperor is incomprehensible, and he only loves the gorgeous peony flower in Kyoto, and he has a deep taste.
Huo Qiu's gaze fell on Tang Zhuozuo from beginning to end, and he didn't share it with others.
It is clear that every night at night, I can't help but feel the thoughts in my heart. The dignified Nine-Five Venerable will turn over the palace wall like a thief to hold the unconscious squeamish bag in his arms and kiss and eyebrows.
It's far from enough.
Looking at her now, she looked like a flower bone with dew in the morning, her brows were sweet and sweet, and her eyebrows were a little bit more gorgeous, and she couldn't move her eyes.
He is no exception, he has lost six souls.
Tang Zhuozuo walked over to Huo Qiu and sat down, took out the two veils from his hand, his cheeks were flushed with anger, and said: "The emperor, the concubine, the maid, you also know, follow the concubine into the East Palace. After being sent out of Yiqiu Palace, I went to Zhong Yu’s Yuxi Palace."
Huo Qiu raised his long and narrow sword eyebrows, and then threw the Buddhist bead hand ring on the table, and said indifferently: "Well, the queen told me."
Tang Zhuozhuo's face turned red, and she bit her lower lip when she heard the teasing in the man's words.
She never told this man about Zhixia.
Huo Qiu seemed to be smiling but not smiling, the mood that had been accumulated for more than a month improved a lot, but his face was not revealed, he indifferently waved his sleeves, and ordered: "Enclose the Yili Palace and search!"
There was no extra word, but Zhong Yuxi was scared to death. Her face was pale and she slumped on the ground, like a doll with no life and no support, and her delicate face was a little numb.
She escaped again!
If you wait for Anzhi to be found, and then find those veils that are almost the same...
A discerning person knew what was going on at a glance, not to mention Emperor Chongjian, who was indifferent to her.
The moonlight outside was covered by a few dark clouds, and the fragrance in the Yili Palace was greasy. Tang Zhuozhuo smelled it, and his head was a little dizzy.
Huo Qiu didn't have any expressions, his dark sword eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and his whole body was icy and indifferent.
The search for the palace was over before long. The leader of the Guards came out with a maid who was with hands and feet. At the same time, he presented a small black box to the two of them, holding a fist and reporting: "The emperor, the maid, the minister is in Yili Palace. In the small penthouse behind the palace, I found the court lady who was tied into this look. It was Anzhi who was waiting next to the empress empress earlier, and this little black box was found in the sleeping hall of empress Zhong, please visit the emperor."
Underneath An Zhi constantly twisted her body, looking at Tang Zhuozhuo with pleading eyes, her mouth was by the moldy cloth, and she couldn't speak. It was so miserable and miserable.
When Tang Zhuozuo saw the result had come out, he was relieved, but he was inevitably cold.
As early as when Anzhi chose to enter the Yuxi Palace to serve, she had a foreboding of the scene like today, because for Zhong Yuxi, Anzhi's role was to surprise her with a stab in the back.
That's it.
It's just that Anzhi was blinded by the benefits in front of her, and she didn't even notice Zhong Yuxi's intentions. Now she knew it, and it was too late.
She won't give her another chance.
Huo Qiu's gaze turned into a pool of ink, and the darkness was not bottomed. He opened the black wooden box and playfully stirred up the veils inside. The satin and the patterns on the top were all the same. The one that Zhong Yuxi just took out is very similar.
By now, the situation couldn't be clearer.
"Zhong 嫔, what else do you want to say?" Tang Zhuozuo's voice was too soft, but it was enough for Zhong Yuxi to hear clearly.
She knelt down towards Huo Qiu, cried so much that it rained, and repeatedly denied, "The emperor Mingjian, the concubines do not know this at all, let alone the thoughts of slandering the empress, the emperor believes in the concubines."
Tang Zhuozuo sneered and threw the black wooden box in front of her, hitting her forehead. Zhong Yuxi covered her face with a cry of pain, and warm blood gurgled out between her fingers.
Tang Zhuozuo felt relieved a little, and snorted coldly, and said, "So this palace is forcing Zhong Yu, you can't wait to report to the emperor and slander this palace?"
After that, Shi Shiran turned around and raised the corner of her eyes slightly, her expression was like a little beast that was irritated, and finally showed his minions, and she relentlessly fought back after she was so proud.
"The emperor, please be fair to his concubines." Tang Zhuozuo's expression and voice were all aggrieved for an instant, and the man beside her felt hot.
In fact, the veils found were not enough to prove that she was completely cleared of suspicion in the robbery of Wang Yi, but Zhong Yuxi's accusations were never believed.
Huo Qiu only glanced at Zhong Yuxi who was in pain on the ground and made a decision.
She said she wanted justice. If this justice is not enough, I'm afraid that her temper will come up, let alone see him.
