"I understand." Ling Chun nodded.
She was the one who buried the thing, so how come she doesn't know where it is?
Xiao Yu raised his hand, and Lin An received the order and immediately stepped forward to pull Ling Chun up from the ground.
He took Ling Chun out, and they came back soon.
Ling Chun's hands were still stained with dirt.
Lin An forced Ling Chun to kneel down, and then said, "Your Majesty, there was indeed a pit there just now."
It was obvious that the pit was dug by a traitor, and there were still traces of the wooden man buried in it.
What's more, Lin An even found a bit of cloth from the wooden man inside.
He raised both hands and handed them to His Majesty.
Xiao Yu took a look and realized that this piece of material was exactly the same as the one on the wooden man.
The hand that was holding the wooden figure tightened, Xiao Yu raised his hand and pinched his brow hard: "Is there any other evidence to prove that this thing was buried by Concubine Shen?"
His Majesty's words are obviously an excuse for Concubine Shen!
Xiang Guipin could hardly believe it. These words actually came from the mouth of His Majesty.
She raised her head and said, "Your Majesty, the evidence is here, don't you believe it?"
She turned her head and glared at Shen Fu fiercely: "Does Your Majesty want to indulge Concubine Shen?"
What virtue and ability did Concubine Shen have that His Majesty would treat her like this?
Xiang Guipin's eyes were so jealous that fire was about to burst out.
"It's not that Your Majesty is tolerant of me." Chen Fu was blocked behind Your Majesty, but she walked forward biting her lip.
She was dressed extremely gorgeously today, and everyone's breathing paused when she appeared.
Chen Fu ignored everyone's looks and just looked at Concubine Xiang lying on the ground.
His eyes were full of confusion.
Shen Fu made this expression after careful consideration.
The person she wanted to arrest today was not Xiang Guipin, but the real mastermind of this incident.
If Shen Fu had exposed this matter at the beginning, all her efforts would have been in vain.
She had to proceed step by step, so that the people behind her would think that she was at a loss, and then they would jump out.
At this moment, what Chen Fu has to do is - pretend!
Pretend you know nothing.
Pretend to be really fooled!
Pretend to fall into the trap of this matter to let the person behind the scenes relax his vigilance.
Chen Fu believed that with such a meticulous plan, Xiang Guipin would not be the only one to take the lead.
She must uncover the secret behind this today.
Chen Fu lowered her eyes slightly: "It's just that this matter was not done by me, and I will not admit it."
"The witnesses and evidence are all here, yet you're still trying to argue!" Concubine Xiang sneered.
Chen Fu's eyes trembled slightly, and her gaze fell on the Paulownia puppet.
She looked at it for a few seconds, then sneered, "If I didn't do it, why should I admit it?"
"The witness you mentioned is the maidservant next to you. As for the object." Chen Fu looked at the paulownia wood puppet and said, "You said that this wooden puppet was dug out from my palace. But apart from the maidservant next to you, who else knows whether it is real or not?"
"Perhaps you buried this wooden figure yourself to frame me?"
"you!"
Concubine Xiang was left speechless.
She stared at Shen Fu blankly, and her outstretched hand couldn't help but tremble slightly.
The word "you" kept repeating in my mouth, but I didn't know what to say.
"You're talking nonsense!" In the end, these were the only words Xiang Guipin could utter.
"Whether I am talking nonsense or not, Xiang Guipin knows it in her heart." Chen Fu seemed to have grasped Xiang Guipin's weakness.
She became more and more proud: "Just a wooden man, Xiang Guipin can slander me, right?"
"The only witness is Ling Chun who is beside you. Who knows if you two, master and servant, have conspired together to frame me?!"
"You're so sharp-tongued!" Xiang Guipin closed her eyes in anger, and felt a flash of darkness in front of her eyes.
"Your Highness... Your Highness, please make the decision for the Third Prince."
Xiang Guipin was at a loss for a moment after being told what to do. She grasped the hem of His Majesty's clothes helplessly, and could only beg for mercy.
Ling Chun also knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please investigate thoroughly. The queen did not lie. These things were found by me in the Hehuan Palace."
"It's all true. Your Majesty, please make the decision for the Queen and the Third Prince."
The master and servant cried bitterly, and Xiao Yu lowered his head and remained silent for a long time.
Then: "Lin An!"
"Take Concubine Xiang away." Without absolute evidence, His Majesty would obviously not easily suspect Concubine Shen.
That's right, after all, Concubine Shen gave birth to the fifth prince. She is also the one that His Majesty has always doted on, so His Majesty would never easily suspect Concubine Shen no matter who he is.
In Lin An's heart, he couldn't help but lift up the weight of Chen Fu.
He bent down and was about to move forward when he heard a sound behind him.
Here it comes.
Chen Fu's heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down after hearing the sound.
She forced a smile and tilted her head: This guy really has a backup plan.
There must be spies in the Hehuan Palace, and today we can finally eliminate them all!
The palace maid didn't hold the tray firmly, and the tray of tea fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.
This attracted everyone's attention.
Chen Fu took the opportunity to get a clear look at the palace maid's appearance.
Today is a big event in Hehuan Palace, and most of the servants serving today are from her palace. And the palace maid in front of her who smashed the teacup was from her Hehuan Palace.
Chen Fu had seen this person entering and leaving the inner hall several times, but she had always been served by Zi Su and others, so Chen Fu really didn't know what this palace maid's name was.
She stared at the palace maid who had just made the noise, and saw that the palace maid was so frightened that her face turned pale. She knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "Your Majesty, please spare me, Your Majesty, please spare me."
"I don't know anything, Your Majesty, please spare my life, Your Majesty."
The palace maid knelt on the ground and kowtowed incoherently.
Chen Fu curled her lips and acted like a show: "You shabby slave, what day is today? You are so careless, why don't you drag him away quickly!"
The guards were about to take the maid away, but the maid raised her head and said, "My queen!"
The maid had tears on her face, and she looked at Chen Fu with horror: "My Lady, I concealed it for you, why do you treat me like this?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Chen Fu said disdainfully, cooperating with the palace maid in acting.
"My lord, since you treat me like this, I will not work for you anymore."
The maid's eyes were filled with panic. She kowtowed repeatedly on the ground, and then she said firmly: "Your Highness, I saw it with my own eyes. The wooden man who killed the third prince was buried by our queen herself!"
