Lin Zhiya asked someone to fish out the hairpin from the pond.
Since both of them looked like they wanted her to make the decision, Lin Zhiya couldn't even escape.
Lady Lu swore that the hairpin was thrown to the bottom of the pond, and it didn't seem like she was lying.
Yuan Cainu comes from a wealthy family and doesn't seem like she would be jealous of a hairpin.
After searching for a long time without success, Lady Lu's eyes flashed with shock, and she cried to Lin Zhiya, "Maybe it was missed. Your Majesty, please ask them to look for it again. I am the one who was wronged."
Yuan Cainu was so angry that she couldn't help scratching Lady Lu's face. "You are talking nonsense. Lady Wan will not listen to your nonsense."
There were several scars on her pretty face. Lu Meiren screamed and wrestled with Yuan Cainü.
Lin Zhiya took a step back to avoid being affected. The palace maid pulled the two apart, and they all fell at Lin Zhiya's feet again, but this time their makeup and hair were messy.
Yuan Cainu was filled with hatred: "Lady Lu humiliated me like this. If I don't clear my name today, I will die in front of you, the Queen."
...
...
Lady Lu screamed, "You're dead, you're the one pushing me into this water. If the Queen doesn't punish you, I won't live either!"
Lin Zhiya felt dizzy and finally found her voice: "I remember there are maids cleaning up ahead, right? Ask them to come over and ask."
Two palace maids came over with brooms and timidly saluted Lin Zhiya. When they heard what Lin Zhiya said, they made bitter faces and said, "We were cleaning the foot of the rockery just now and didn't see this place."
The two men's personal maids also had different stories, both saying they saw the other push their master into the water.
Lady Lu's maid described the hairpin vividly, "The hairpin was in the shape of a kingfisher, with green on the bottom, and the end was very light and kept moving."
Lin Zhiya: "...Let me think about it."
…
Zhao Chen left the court, and a group of officials saw him off in a friendly and peaceful manner.
Officials wore new uniforms made overnight, their positions changed, the system of checks and balances was automatically completed, and even the most difficult Prime Minister Liu went to chant sutras.
Zhao Chen walked slowly under the palace wall with joy on his face.
Lai Xi: "Congratulations to His Majesty. Prime Minister Liu has finally stopped causing trouble for His Majesty. God has moved him."
No, it’s Lin Zhiya.
Zhao Chen answered silently in his heart that Lin Zhiya had too many treasures on her body, and he had to make good use of them in the future.
According to current observations, the treasure was not there from the beginning, otherwise Lin Zhiya would not be surprised, so what are the conditions that trigger the appearance of the treasure?
Zhao Chen suddenly remembered that he wanted to learn about Lin Zhiya's hobbies: "Go and find out what Wanpin likes to eat and what she likes to do."
First of all, you have to cater to their interests.
Lai Xi bent down and listened: "Yes, I will go and find out right away."
Lai Xi was actually not surprised anymore. Based on Zhao Chen's attitude these days, just asking about Concubine Wan's preferences did not cross the line.
Lai Xi returned, "Your Majesty, Concubine Wan is by the pond. Something seems to have happened. I heard someone shouting that she fell into the water."
Zhao Chen's heart stopped beating suddenly, cold sweat ran down his forehead. Who was bleeding?
Zhao Chen threw away his joy, strode over, went around the rockery, and saw Lin Zhiya standing in the middle at a glance.
Two wet people knelt at her feet, and it was obvious that they had fallen into the water.
——Not Lin Zhiya.
Zhao Chen felt relieved, walked out with a smile, and glanced at the two people on the ground calmly: "I still don't know, what happened?"
Lin Zhiya's inner voice: [Palace fighting is harmful, let's just blame it on the emperor. ]
Lin Zhiya said righteously: "Your Majesty, Yuan Cainu and Lu Meiren fell into the water together, and they both said that the other pushed them. We are waiting for Your Majesty to come and administer justice."
Lin Zhiya's thoughts: [I think it's okay for you to take charge of the situation! ]
Yuan Cainu and Lu Meiren looked at each other, then turned to Zhao Chen hesitantly, "...Your Majesty,...the hairpin fell into the water...she pushed me."
This listless look reduced his temperament by eighty percent compared to when he was complaining to Lin Zhiya.
Lin Zhiya shouted in her heart that she didn't understand. Was he thinking she was easy to talk to? She became timid when she was in front of Zhao Chen.
As soon as the two of them finished talking, Zhao Chen's face turned cold and he said nothing. Everyone suddenly felt that the temperature around them had dropped and was almost freezing.
Zhao Chen's downward-pressed mouth showed his impatience, and his sharp eyebrows were even more piercing. "All of you go to solitary confinement."
Yuan Cainü and Lu Meiren looked defeated. Not only did they fail to file a complaint, they also suffered an unexpected disaster.
Yuan Cainu relied on her one-time acquaintance with Lin Zhiya and cried and begged: "Madam Wanpin, you know me, I am innocent."
The implication is that Lin Zhiya still has to rely on to try the case, and Zhao Chen is useless!
Lin Zhiya nodded and comforted her: "Don't worry, we will definitely find out the truth."
After saying that, Lin Zhiya cast a condemning look at Zhao Chen. It is obviously your harem, why do you treat them so harshly?
Zhao Chen: "...I am not good at details."
Lin Zhiya: "According to your two statements just now, before falling into the water, Lady Lu was standing facing the pond, behind Yuan Cainv, and Yuan Cainv was facing away from the pond, in front of Lady Lu."
"In this position, Yuan Cainu is facing away from the pond. She can only push Lu Meiren to the ground, but it is impossible for her to push her towards the pond in the opposite direction."
"Unless Yuan Cainu slipped and fell into the water, pulling Lady Lu into the water with her. But this possibility is relatively small. It is more likely that Lady Lu pushed you, and Yuan Cainu pulled you, and the two of you fell into the water together."
"And Lady Lu didn't say before that Yuan Cainv slipped, so it must have been Lady Lu who pushed her."
【The reasoning is complete.】
Lin Zhiya's meticulous logic stunned Lu Meiren. Lu Meiren was stunned for a moment, then changed her words: "Maybe I remembered it wrong. Before Yuan Cainu pushed me, she was not standing in the same position as before. I was in a hurry and remembered it wrongly."
Yuan Cainu's eyes widened in disbelief: "How dare you deny it in front of Concubine Wan? You are so shameless. What the Concubine said is clearly right."
At this time, Zhao Chen heard Lady Lu's inner voice, which was very small and weak: [Yuan Cainu was just a little concubine. If she hadn't met Concubine Wan, she would have had no place to appeal].
Lady Lu moved her body, [My position does not allow me to occupy a palace alone. Yuan Cainu was assigned here, but I don’t want to live with her. She fell ill when she entered the palace. Who knows what kind of unlucky person she is? Please don’t let her infect me.]
Lady Lu: [What should I say to defend myself? Please don’t let Concubine Wan convict me!]
Before Lady Lu could finish her thought, she heard a cold voice coming from above her head: "Lady Lu thinks the palace is not big enough, so move her to the cold palace. You will live alone in the more than 20 rooms."
Looking up, Zhao Chen stared at her mercilessly, the corners of his black clothes blown up by the wind.
On his hand folded behind his back was a black jade ring, which Zhao Chen was slowly turning.
