Chapter 192: Big commotion
After receiving the signal, Xiaoqing immediately threw the smoke bomb in her hand towards the two people in the corner, and smoke rose up in an instant.
At the same time, Xiaofen also quickly jumped into the smoke.
Not long after, the screams of the two people inside were heard.
"Ah! My hand!"
"Help!"
"What the hell is that!"
...
The movement in Wende Hall quickly attracted everyone's attention. After Lin Baoer and Qinglian looked at each other, they took the lead and rushed in.
The girl next to them was shocked.
"Fourth Miss! You can't go in!"
Seeing this, Qinglian followed closely and pushed the other palace maids and said, "You have to bring the young lady out quickly!"
Then she rushed in.
After both of them went in, the maids didn't care about anything and rushed in in a panic.
Relying on her memory, Lin Baoer quickly led them to the place where Wen Qumo and the mysterious woman met.
Just as the smoke dissipated, under the shocked gazes of a dozen pairs of people, Wen Qumo crawled up from the ground in a wolfish manner, his cheeks slightly swollen, and he howled in pain.
The woman next to him was also covered in mud, and she rolled down to reveal the face under the veil.
"Isn't this Miss Wushuang?!"
A maid recognized her and her voice was amplified many times in surprise.
"Hey, why is Lord Wen here too?!"
More and more palace maids came over to point and talk. Seeing this, Wen Qumo couldn't run away even if she wanted to. Her face turned black and she fainted from anger.
This shocking event quickly spread throughout the palace, and the emperor was furious.
In the Qianqing Palace, the emperor threw the teacup to the ground and yelled at Shen Ruyu, "This is your person!"
"She is so lawless that she had a private meeting with a court minister! She is guilty of a crime that can be punished!"
That's right, Wushuang was a palace maid in Wanyan Palace and a maid who had been following Shen Ruyu since Mingyanfang. She was promoted all the way and became her personal female official.
"Your Majesty, please calm down!" Shen Ruyu knelt down with red eyes, "Your Majesty! What if there is some misunderstanding here? Wushuang is not that kind of person..."
"What kind of misunderstanding could there be?!" the emperor said angrily, "So many eyes have seen it! Tell me, what kind of misunderstanding could there be?!"
"Why would Wen Qumo, a foreign minister, appear in the harem?! Why would they appear in Wende Hall! If it has nothing to do with her, then could it be that all of this was directed and acted by Wen Qumo himself?!"
The emperor became angrier as he spoke, and he yelled at the eunuch next to him, "Where is Wen Qumo?! Bring him here to me!"
The eunuch said tremblingly, "Your Majesty, Lord Wen is still in a coma."
"Comatose? Can't he be woken up?!" the emperor kicked him.
"Yes!"
The eunuch climbed up and quickly retreated. After
he recovered, the emperor looked at Wushuang coldly, expressionless, "Tell me, what did you do?"
Wushuang's eyes were red, her face was covered with tears, she knelt on the ground and shrank her neck in fear, not daring to look at the person in the high position. Hearing this,
she glanced at Shen Ruyu, and after seeing those cold eyes, she lowered her head and sobbed involuntarily.
"Cry, cry, cry! Why are you crying! His Majesty is asking you a question!" The chief eunuch slapped her directly, and a five-finger mark immediately appeared on her fair face.
"I, I am following..."
Wushuang was interrupted by Shen Ruyu before she could finish her words. She looked at Wushuang worriedly, her eyes full of heartache, "You girl, why don't you plead with His Majesty and confess the truth! You have been dependent on your mother since you were a child. I rescued you because I felt sorry for you. During this period, have you been short of food or drink? How could you do such a rebellious thing!" "
Your Majesty, Wushuang has had a hard life since she was a child. Maybe she has some difficulties, otherwise she would not be like this..."
Shen Ruyu cried while clutching her handkerchief,
tears streaming down her face. Wushuang, who originally wanted to tell the truth, suddenly widened her eyes with disbelief.
Is she using her mother to threaten her?
The emperor looked at Shen Ruyu, then at Wushuang, and said coldly: "As long as you confess the truth, if there is any hidden secret, I will naturally make the decision for you. If not..."
He didn't finish his words, but everyone could hear what he meant.
If she really had a secret meeting with Wen Qumo, then she would have no choice but to die.
Wushuang's face turned pale, her hands clenched, and her lower lip was almost bitten to bleed.
Under the gaze of everyone, she finally admitted that she was indeed having a secret meeting with Wen Qumo, and she had been in love with Lord Wen for a long time...
...
After hearing this, Lin Baoer, who was outside, sneered disdainfully.
[Sure enough, I knew that Shen Ruyu would definitely use her as a shield. 】
【If the secret meeting is confirmed, only one person will be killed. If the collusion with the ministers is confirmed, the consequences will be different...】 Wu Shuang
's testimony alone is useless. Wen Qumo must be interrogated again. Unfortunately, Wen Qumo can't wake up no matter what. The emperor has to give up and orders Wu Shuang to be imprisoned and retrial on another day.
Lin Baoer knows that if Shen Ruyu wants to save herself, she must either threaten Wen Qumo to admit the crime of secret meeting, or kill him to silence him and destroy the body and evidence. She will not let go of any possibility that can threaten her.
So Lin Baoer
That night, in Changqing Palace, after dismissing the other palace maids, Qinglian asked in a low voice while undressing Lin Baoer: "Fourth Miss, how did you know that Lord Wen and that Wushuang girl had a secret meeting in Wende Palace? I remember that you have never left the house?"
Lin Baoer blinked, looked at Xiaoqing who was curled up in a ball, and smiled: "Xiaoqing is the great hero."
When she said this, Qinglian immediately understood.
This snake's good deeds again.
"Did you bring the news to my eldest brother?"
Qinglian nodded, "It has been delivered to the eldest master."
[Then it depends on big brother. I hope he doesn't die...]
The next morning, Lin Baoer heard that Wen Qumo was taken to the emperor, and Lin Zhiyu's people also wrote that nothing happened last night.
[Is Shen Ruyu really so confident that Wen Qumo will not betray her?]
Lin Baoer frowned in thought, waved her hand, and motioned Qinglian to come over.
Then he whispered a few words in her ear.
At three quarters past three in the morning, news came from the Qianqing Palace that Wen Qumo admitted to having a secret meeting with Wushuang.
In the end, he was demoted two levels by the emperor and fined his salary for two years.
And Wushuang was, of course, executed.
After hearing this result, Lin Baoer narrowed her eyes, feeling very unhappy.
Even if it was really a secret meeting, why would the man be fine, but the woman had to die?
