Chapter 70 He has a purse embroidered by Xue Youli herself!
Shen Ruolan listened to their words and slowly calmed down.
Yes, I don’t know Meng Xingzhi at all.
As long as it can be proved that she was forced by Meng Xingzhi, then she did not have a secret meeting with another man!
If this proves that Meng Xingzhi and Xue Youli have a serious relationship, then she is the victim of humiliation by this adulterous couple!
Shen Ruolan understood this and glanced at Meng Xingzhi. Her gaze fell on the purse hanging around his waist and her eyes suddenly became distorted and crazy.
"Purse! The purse this man carries with him was embroidered by Xue Youli herself, and it even has Xue Youli's name on it!"
Hearing this, Xue Qingyao breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Shen Ruolan is not so stupid as to be hopeless.
Before she died, she was able to use Xue Youli as a back cushion, so her death was not in vain.
However, when she followed Shen Ruolan's line of sight to look at the purse on Meng Xingzhi's waist, her right eyelid suddenly twitched a few times.
Why does this purse look so familiar?
Xue Youli noticed the change in her expression and sneered secretly. When she turned to look at Murong Che again, her face was already full of grievance. "Your Majesty, I was a classmate of the late Meng Cairen before I entered the palace, so I naturally knew Meng Xingzhi. He was Meng Cairen's brother. When he learned that Meng Cairen was dead, he believed that I was the murderer of his sister. I must have entered the palace to avenge his sister! Sister Lan, who would carry a purse embroidered by their enemy?"
Meng Xingzhi has been in a daze ever since Xue Youli woke him up with some cold tea.
This is completely different from the plot we agreed upon before!
Didn't they say that Xue Youli was now the most favored concubine in the harem, and as long as he went to the palace to meet Xue Youli and confide in her, and based on Xue Youli's former infatuation with him, and asked her to persuade the emperor, he could easily become the emperor's front guard?
As for Meng Yishu's death, Meng Xingzhi actually didn't take it too seriously.
After all, his father had several concubines and there was more than one sister in the family. Meng Yishu failed to frame others and deserved to die.
The only thing to be thankful for is that she did not implicate the Meng family.
But now, he was confused by what these women said.
When he heard Shen Ruolan mention the purse, he also lowered his head following her gaze, only to find that a purse had appeared around his waist without him noticing.
But this purse is not the same as the one Xue Youli shamelessly gave him before!
At this time, Xue Youli was standing some distance away from Murong Che. He could not hear what Xue Youli was thinking, but he still cooperated with her in acting tacitly.
The man turned his gaze to Meng Xingzhi's waist and said calmly, "Wang Defa, take the purse off his waist and let Mr. Xue identify it."
"yes."
Wang Defa rushed to Meng Xingzhi in three or two steps, and without waiting for him to make any move, he directly pulled out the purse and handed it to Xue Youli.
Xue Youli took the purse, looked at its style and pattern carefully, shook her head and said, "Your Majesty, I have never seen such a purse before."
However, when she accidentally turned the purse over, she immediately covered her mouth in disbelief, "Ah! Why is Sister Xue's name embroidered on this purse?"
Who wouldn't do that?
Since Xue Qingyao and Shen Ruolan are eager to reincarnate, I will help them!
When Xue Qingyao heard this, his anxious heart finally died.
No wonder she felt Meng Xingzhi’s purse looked familiar at first sight, it turned out that it was swapped by Xue Youli!
She glared at Xue Youli fiercely, "It's you! You framed me?"
What she couldn't understand was that there were people guarding Minghua Palace every day, so where did Xue Youli get her purse?
At this moment, Chu Xinyue had already sat down in the pavilion.
She took out a handful of melon seeds from her waist pocket and leisurely ate them while watching the excitement.
Xue Qingyao probably couldn't imagine that the purse on Meng Xingzhi's waist was stolen by her when Shen Ruolan invited her to Minghua Palace for tea when no one was paying attention.
At this moment, Xue Youli met Xue Qingyao's resentful eyes. She twisted her hands in her sleeves on her thighs. When she raised her eyes again, her eyes were already blurred with tears. "Your Majesty, Sister Xue looks so scary. I'm so scared! I've been reading books and practicing calligraphy in Shuiyuexuan all this time. I've never set foot in Minghua Palace. It's impossible for me to steal Sister Xue's purse and give it to Meng Xingzhi!"
"I just heard Sister Lan say that the purse hanging around Meng Xingzhi's waist was embroidered by his beloved. She said it with great confidence. Seeing Sister Xue's angry expression, I'm afraid her words are not groundless."
"Of course, I am not like some people who make up stories without any evidence. The truth still needs to be found out by Your Majesty. Please clear my name!"
“Your Majesty, it’s not like that!” Shen Ruolan saw Xue Youli actually trying to stir up the relationship between her and Xue Qingyao, and she was so anxious that she called out Xue Youli’s name, “It must be Xue Youli who switched the purses! I saw it clearly before, the purse on Meng Xingzhi’s body had her name embroidered on it!”
"Oh?" Xue Youli's mind worked quickly, and she immediately caught the loophole in her words. "A purse is a personal item. How come Sister Lan could see clearly what was embroidered on Meng Xingzhi's purse? Could it be that she saw it when they kissed just now?"
"You, you you you! I didn't!"
Shen Ruolan was almost so angry that she couldn't catch her breath. She had never won an argument with her, so she simply took out her anger on Meng Xingzhi, "Meng Xingzhi, you useless piece of shit, tell me yourself! Was the purse you had on you before belonged to Xue Youli?"
Meng Xingzhi defended himself by looking at the purse in Xue Youli's hand, his forehead and palms covered in sweat.
He didn't know what went wrong, but in this situation, he was in a dilemma and could only be forced to stand on the same side as Shen Ruolan and the others. "Your Majesty, the purse I was wearing before was indeed given by Noble Xue. I don't know when the purse was replaced. Please investigate!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present fell silent.
The brother of the deceased Concubine Meng claimed that Concubine Xue had given her a purse, but the purse he was carrying was embroidered with Concubine Xue's name, and he and Concubine Lan were caught secretly in Chencang.
Is he trying to trick the Emperor into thinking he is a fool?
The lively scene in Yu Garden contained so much information that all the concubines who came here felt that the trip was well worthwhile!
Murong Che frowned slightly, his cold eyes fell on Meng Xingzhi, and he said word by word, "Do you know that deceiving the emperor and slandering my concubine is a capital crime?"
The pressure from the man was too strong. Meng Xingzhi's knees weakened just by looking at him. He knelt down and kowtowed, "Your Majesty, I did know Noble Xue before he entered the palace. At that time, Noble Xue loved me and gave me a purse as a birthday gift! Everything I said is true. I would never dare to lie to Your Majesty!"
Meng Xingzhi actually said that Concubine Xue loved him before she entered the palace?
However, someone in the harem recently said that Xue Youli had a childhood sweetheart before entering the palace.
Both parties are here. Meng Xingzhi personally admitted that Xue Youli had feelings for him, and now the pressure is on Xue Youli.
How would she respond?
Everyone turned their heads, and all their gossiping eyes fell on Xue Youli!
