Yonghe Palace.
Lian Rui held a handkerchief embroidered with plum blossoms in her hand and said happily:
"Master, the person behind this will be so angry that he will vomit blood when he hears the news from the Criminal Justice Department."
She lost a handkerchief a few days ago.
Lianrui was almost scared to tears at that time.
The understanding that he had acquired from following his master since childhood was that if he lost his personal belongings, he would be in imminent danger of death.
Therefore, Lianrui is very careful about her things.
That afternoon, she discovered that her handkerchief was missing, and immediately reported it to Ning Wanyin in a panic:
"Master, my handkerchief is lost!"
When Ning Wanyin heard this, she immediately became alert.
Everyone knew that Lianrui was the senior palace maid she brought into the palace.
Framing Lianrui is not much different from framing her.
"When was the last time you saw Xiupa? Where have you been and who have you met during this period?" Ning Wanyin asked.
Lian Rui recalled, "I used the embroidered handkerchief in the morning. I went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Imperial Kitchen. On the way, I met a palace maid who bumped into me..."
Ning Wanyin then asked Pengqin and others to search the palace path she had walked through again and again.
At the same time, check on the palace maid.
The palace maid lowered her head timidly. Lianrui didn't see her appearance clearly, but she was holding a food box in her hand, so she must be a servant in the imperial kitchen.
Ning Wanyin immediately went to check on the palace maid who was responsible for delivering meals to the imperial kitchen.
And he was on duty this morning...
Fortunately, Ning Wanyin is now in charge. She can retrieve the list of palace maids from each department and found five palace maids who met the requirements. She then arranged two maids in charge of cleaning to check the residences of these five palace maids one by one.
Lian Rui's lost handkerchief was found in the residence of a palace maid named Fang Cao. She mixed Lian Rui's handkerchief with her own handkerchief to make it unnoticeable.
The palace where she delivered meals every day was Shuyuyuan.
Bring food to Xiao Yunyao and Lian Rui's handkerchief.
Putting these two things together, Ning Wanyin almost guessed that the enemy was going to frame her for sending someone to murder Xiao Yunyao.
but……
Ning Wanyin did not take the handkerchief away immediately, for fear that the person behind the scenes would not attack Xiao Yunyao after losing the "physical evidence".
Of course she was happy to send Xiao Yunyao away.
But Ning Wanyin never does it herself if the emperor wants to protect someone.
Because once discovered, the consequences will be more than worth it.
If there is a kind person who wants to do it for her, then she...
Must cooperate!
Never disturb the other party's layout, and sincerely wish the person behind the scenes all the best!
From then on, Ning Wanyin sent people to secretly keep an eye on Fangcao, and check every day when she was cleaning to see if the handkerchief was still in its original place.
If he is not there, it means that the person behind the scenes may have other plans, and we will have to make other arrangements.
Two days passed like this...
When Fangcao deliberately bumped into a eunuch from the Cining Palace.
Ning Wanyin knew that Fangcao was about to take action.
The person behind this wants to drag the Xue family into this trouble.
It is obvious that he intends to frame the Xue family first.
When I finally found Xiupa——
It was common for palace maids to give each other a handkerchief if they were close friends. Or if two people often played together, it was possible that they took the wrong one.
This beautiful handkerchief hints that the fragrant grass and the lotus core have a special relationship.
Of course, this little evidence is not enough to convict Ning Wanyin.
Lianrui said she lost it accidentally.
Fangcao then said that she did not do it and it had nothing to do with Yonghe Palace.
By then, everyone will speculate that it was Ning Wanyin who did it, but there is no evidence.
The Xue family must have suspected that Ning Wanyin was framing them.
The Xiao family will also become hostile to Ning Wanyin because of Xiao Yunyao's death.
So when Fangcao was punished to kneel, Ning Wanyin immediately asked the cleaning nanny to steal the handkerchief back.
No more Xiupa.
The only suspect that can be pointed at at the moment is the Xue family.
Isn’t that great?
"Master, who do you think started this game?" asked the chess player curiously.
Ning Wanyin said calmly, "It's no surprise who it is. If you really want to guess an opponent, you might overlook some enemies."
As a favorite concubine, she has always been the target of public criticism.
If you guess a result without any evidence, it is easy to overlook the hidden person.
But she also had some inclinations in her mind.
Jingpin, who has a grudge against Xiao Yunyao and a conflict of interest with herself.
"I was really scared this time. I have to be more careful next time." Lian Rui was still in shock and was very afraid that she would implicate her master.
Ning Wanyin comforted him, "Don't worry too much. There is always a chance of something happening. How can there be no chance of error?"
It is difficult for people to be absolutely infallible.
True prudence does not mean that you cannot make a mistake even once.
But, you have a backup plan.
Even if it is lost, you have a backup plan to check it. Even if you can't find it, you also have a backup plan to avoid being implicated.
As a human being, it is impossible to never make mistakes. Ning Wanyin has always been cautious, and she has never allowed her subordinates to be careless, but she has a backup plan to tolerate mistakes.
"Fortunately we found it this time, if we hadn't found it..." Lian Rui was still worried.
Ning Wanyin looked at her with a smile, "If you haven't found it, then there are naturally ways to deal with it."
If Xiupa can't be found.
Ning Wanyin was going to report the case to the Criminal Court. Even if she couldn't find it, everyone knew that the handkerchief was lost.
In this frame-up, Xiupa can only frame the person who discovered that something was missing but did not take it seriously.
In fact, this trick is quite useful.
Because most people will not delve into the details if they lose an insignificant little item.
It is rare to see a palace maid like Ning Wanyin who would report to the Criminal Justice Department if she lost something.
…
In Mingde Palace.
Concubine Jing drank a cup of calming tea and finally calmed down a little.
Ning Wanyin actually took away the handkerchief, which means that everything he did was under her nose.
She cooperated on purpose!
She also wanted Xiao Yunyao to die, so she wanted to use her own hands to get rid of Xiao Yunyao!
When Concubine Jing thought about the fact that she had actually helped Ning Wanyin, she became even more depressed and wanted to vomit blood.
Fortunately, she was very careful and did not leave any clues related to herself.
Next up is Queen Mother Xue...
Queen Mother Xue would definitely guess who framed her. Currently, the only person who had a grudge against Xiao Yunyao and the Xue family was Ning Wanyin.
Queen Mother Xue should be suspicious of Ning Wanyin, right?
In this way, her plan was not completely in vain.
Empress Dowager Xue would probably find a way to stop Ning Wanyin from being promoted to the position of Imperial Concubine. If the Xue family and Ning Wanyin started to quarrel, she could just wait and see what would happen.
Thinking of this, Concubine Jing felt much better.
