Every sentence that doesn't mention conspiracy is a conspiracy.
Especially the last sentence, I will make you the most noble woman. If the queen saw it, she must have been shocked.
And just started that plan.
What is the plan?
In just a few short sentences, the whole story of the danger at the foot of the cliff, the queen's encounter with danger, and himself blocking the knife for her was turned upside down.
"Princess, do you have anything to say now?"
Luo Zhaozhao sobbed and looked at Baolan who was kneeling on the ground and trembling.
"When Baolan was cleaning up the spiritual spring for these young monks, he found this jade pendant in the spring. Since it had the princess' name engraved on it, he took the jade pendant and returned it."
"Unexpectedly, Baolan's unintentional action made the princess think that her affairs were exposed, and she threatened Baolan in every way to destroy the evidence for the princess!"
"Princess, please spare my life! Please spare my family and my young lady! Princess! This is all my own fault! It's all because I didn't fulfill your instructions!"
After Luo Zhaozhao finished speaking, Baolan immediately kowtowed again. At the same time, the discussions outside the door began to sound.
"I remember last time, Baolan came out of the princess's room crying? Her face was swollen a lot at that time..."
"Yes, yes, I saw it too. Could it be that time..."
"Miss Luo and her servant are so pitiful. I was wondering how Princess Changle could suddenly change her personality. Now, even her claim of blocking the sword for the Queen was fake. Did you hear that? The letter also said that she would be the most honorable woman..."
Discussions are uncontrollable, but they are the most likely to add fuel to the fire.
I'm afraid this is also Luo Zhaozhao's purpose.
The Queen became even more upset after hearing these voices. She slammed the table hard, her eyebrows full of sharpness.
"Shut up, everyone! What a shame to make such a noise!"
"Changle! Do you have any explanation?"
This voice was full of energy and the tone was full of questions.
Gu Qingsheng sneered in his heart.
The rumors are true.
These high-ranking individuals are quick to turn their backs on others as soon as something involves their position.
"What do I have to explain?"
He took the jade pendant out of the sachet and handed it to Bai Lu, then threw the sachet at Luo Zhaozhao's feet.
The ground was slippery and the incense bag slid a long way before it stopped.
"Miss Luo and this maid have already said everything. What else can Changle say?"
"It's probably inappropriate to slander others based on just a sachet and a jade pendant."
"Even if we find this letter in the bag, how can Miss Luo be sure that it wasn't someone else's attempt to smear us? Or is this all Miss Luo's own doing?"
She drew out the last sentence, and the implication was something that a smart person would definitely think carefully about.
Luo Zhaozhao was not annoyed by what Gu Qingsheng said. After the humiliation just now, she sat there very weakly, with red eyes and no longer spoke.
People always believe what they see.
Luo Zhaozhao's expression clearly showed that she didn't want to say more to Gu Qingsheng, not to mention Gu Qingsheng's provocation.
Originally, Gu Qingsheng had a very average reputation in Jinchu, and now his aggressive attitude seemed to cause a wave of rumors in Jinchu again.
Luo Zhaozhao must have known this and that's why he didn't move.
"I have seen how unreasonable the princess is."
Chu Zhiyao sneered
"Now that the evidence is all here, you're still being so stubborn."
"General Chu, what you said is really biased. General Chu will admit whatever Miss Luo shows up, and you don't care whether the witnesses and evidence you are talking about are true or false, and you are slandering our princess."
Bai Lu couldn't stand it anymore and immediately took over Chu Zhiyao's words and started to refute
"Our princess came here to pray for blessings. Not only did she block a knife for the queen on the way, but why is she being bullied by you guys before her wounds have even healed? Do you really think our Duan Palace is easy to bully?"
After these words were spoken, even Chu Zhiyao fell silent.
They kept blaming Gu Qingsheng, talking to each other, but they all forgot that there was the Prince Duan's Mansion behind Gu Qingsheng.
Prince Duan was famous for protecting his daughter, especially his own daughter.
Even the Queen was a little worried. Based on the Emperor's attitude towards Prince Duan...
She didn't know whether she should continue to investigate this matter.
While hesitating, Chu Zhiyao's cold voice rang out.
"I'm talking, what does a maid like you have to do with me? Come! Pull her away!"
I believe Chu Zhiyao also realized that Gu Qingsheng alone is not scary, but Bai Lu who keeps fanning the flames is the factor most likely to waver the Queen's heart.
Immediately, some soldiers rushed in and ran towards Bai Lu.
Bai Lu still stood straight behind Gu Qingsheng, with her head held high, without any fear at all.
Just as the soldiers were about to attack Bai Lu, a very light knocking sound on the table came from somewhere.
"Let's see who dares."
Gu Qingsheng said calmly, and the coldness in his words made it impossible for the soldiers to move forward.
The leading soldier looked at Chu Zhiyao with some embarrassment. Chu Zhiyao's face darkened, but he didn't say anything for a long time.
No matter what the situation is, Gu Qingsheng is still the high and mighty Princess Changle. As long as Prince Duan is powerful, it will not be a problem for her to protect someone.
The situation was at a stalemate, and breathing sounds could be clearly heard.
"Actually, there's no need to be so troublesome."
A moan broke through the atmosphere. Luo Zhaozhao spoke softly, looking at Chu Zhiyao with some expectation in his eyes.
"The letter said that the princess was given a hairpin and an identical incense bag. Baolan didn't deal with these things, so the incense bag should still be in the princess's room, and there should be a hairpin inside."
Gu Qingsheng frowned slightly.
She suddenly remembered what Zhihe had said that day about the smell in her room.
"That's true."
The queen, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke.
"Prince Duan has been honest and upright throughout his life. I believe that if Changle really had something wrong, he would not be biased. On the contrary, if Changle was slandered..."
She glanced at Luo Zhaozhao lightly
"I will not tolerate the murderer behind this."
"That's natural."
Pretending not to understand the Queen's words, Luo Zhaozhao responded
"The princess's precious body must not be allowed to be slandered by evildoers."
"However, I just smelled this sachet, and it has a very unique scent. If the princess has this sachet in her room, she should be able to smell it recently."
"Didn't Aunt Zhihe go to the princess's room today? Did you smell the same smell in the princess's room?"
Zhihe lowered her eyes, and the queen also looked at her at this time.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Zhihe, except for Gu Qingsheng, who was holding a cup of tea and carefully examining the color of the paint on his nails.
