Chapter 105 Key Evidence
As soon as her eyes met Hawking's, Yun Qin immediately lowered her eyes.
But no matter whether her face showed sarcasm, grievance, or panic, her heart was always clear and calm.
She showed these emotions deliberately to Hawking Chi.
She knew she would be suspected, so she remained calm.
But how could an innocent person remain so calm when being suspected? The more she ridiculed and felt wronged, the more innocent she would be in Hawking Chi's eyes.
If the occasion did not allow it, she would have wanted to sneer twice to let Hawking Chi know how angry she was!
Seeing that she looked like she was caught, Huo Jinchi's mouth curled up slightly.
Xin'er, who was pointed out on the spot, trembled with fear and fell to the ground with a thud, while Su Meiren also staggered.
Holding the armrest of the chair, she glanced at Xin'er with fierce eyes, and then looked at Xiangyun with murderous intent.
"You are talking nonsense!" She shouted at Huo Jinchi, "She is lying. It is not true at all. I have never done such a thing!"
She pointed at Shen Danying and screamed in a shrill voice: "It was her. She was the one who told the maids around her to say that. She wanted to frame me. Your Majesty, you must see clearly!"
How could her pale excuse be better than Xiangyun's, who was determined to die?
"At this moment, why should I continue to lie? If the emperor does not believe me, then send me and the maid to the Ministry of Punishment. After we are severely punished, the truth will be revealed!"
Xin Er, who was kneeling on the ground, trembled violently when she heard this. She knelt forward a few steps and shouted, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please don't send me to the Ministry of Punishment. I will confess everything. I will confess everything."
"You bitch!" Lady Su stepped forward and kicked her hard, shouting, "I never thought you were bribed by someone. I trusted you so much!"
Her kick was so powerful that Xin'er fell to the ground, her face pale with pain, and she couldn't speak for a long time.
"Hold the man!" Huo Jinchi shouted coldly.
Immediately, several maids came forward, grabbed Concubine Su, and pressed her to the ground.
Qing He on the side was even more eager to make a move, she wanted to rush up and slap her twice. Compared with Shen Danying who had a good relationship with her master, she naturally believed that this was done by Concubine Su. After all, the discord between Yukang Palace and Chunxi Palace was not just one or two days!
Su Mei was still shouting that she was wronged, but Shen Danying just sneered at her.
This time, Xin'er also slowed down and crawled forward a few steps. When she was far away from Concubine Su, she cried out, "It was Concubine Su. It was Concubine Su who asked me to give that thing to Xiangyun. But I was forced by her! Please, Your Majesty, save me. Please, save me."
As she spoke, she tried to climb onto Huo Jinchi's legs, but Xu An brushed her away and shouted, "How dare you!"
"Bitch, bitch!" Lady Su suddenly jumped up and the two maids almost couldn't hold her back.
The master knelt on the ground, and Yun Qin naturally had to kneel down with him. The advantage of kneeling was that she could see the farce without raising her head.
Seeing the two of them like this, she couldn't help but sneer in her heart.
When Lady Su fell into the water, Xin'er was so frightened that she couldn't get out of bed for several days. What kind of bone thing was that?
Her only advantage was her sweet talk and her ability to coax people, which was exactly what Sumerian liked, so she was brought up again and kept by her side, thus completely fulfilling their master-servant relationship.
Although she thought so in her heart, she couldn't just stand by and watch.
Yun Qin seemed panic-stricken and wanted to go forward to pull the two maids apart, but her hands and feet were too weak and she was pushed away instead. She bumped into the tea table next to her, took a breath of cold air, and leaned on the ground, unable to move.
This scene really distressed Huo Jinchi, and he was even more angry with her. This lady Su was not a good person, so why did she do this to him?
He looked at Su Meiren again with even more rage in his eyes.
Yun Qin was holding the ground with her hands, feeling frustrated. Why did she have to create a loyal and foolish character when she could have created any other character? Now, it was difficult to get off the tiger!
But Xiang Yun still refused to give up. She looked at Concubine Su with eyes full of hatred and threw another heavy punch that was enough to kill Concubine Su.
"Your Majesty, the cinnabar that Lady Su sent to me that day was wrapped in a talisman. I thought it was something special, so I kept it. Now it is hidden in the cracks between the bricks under my bed. You can send someone to look for it in my room!"
Huo Jinchi raised his eyebrows slightly, glanced at Lady Su who had suddenly calmed down, and winked at Xu An.
Xu An did not send anyone else, but led his men out personally.
Yunqin knew that Lady Su was sometimes not very smart, but she didn't expect her to be so stupid as to use a talisman to wrap cinnabar. Was she afraid of leaving any evidence behind? Or was she sure that this would succeed?
After handing over the crucial evidence, Xiang Yun immediately kowtowed to the ground, "Your Majesty, please save my mother and brother!"
Huo Jinchi lowered his eyes slightly to look at her, then looked at Lady Su, his voice was cold, "If her family is really in the Su family, will you confess now, or wait until I find them?"
Concubine Su gritted her teeth and put on a tough attitude, "Your Majesty, what do you want me to confess? In order to favor Shen Danying, are you going to help her frame this matter on my head?"
Seeing that she didn't recognize him, Huo Jinchi didn't bother to talk to her anymore. Instead, he took off the jade pendant from his waist and handed it to the eunuch beside him, "Have someone check whether the family of this palace maid is in the Su family."
Although he did not say it explicitly, everyone present knew that he meant to send out the Wude Envoy.
In Yunqin's opinion, the Wude Envoy was similar to the Jinyiwei, but it did not have as much power as the Jinyiwei.
If the Jinyiwei is a sword, then the Wudeshisi is more like an ear.
Su Meiren naturally knew what this meant, and her face turned pale for a moment, but she calmed down the next second.
Yun Qin looked at her like this, lowering her eyes, and already understood why.
According to the Su family's style of doing things, if we look at the best case scenario, Xiangyun's family might have been sent out of the capital long ago, and if we look at the worst case scenario, they might have been killed to silence them.
This made Yun Qin feel a wave of sympathy.
Seeing that Concubine Su was still calm, the Queen breathed a sigh of relief. She no longer cared about what happened to Concubine Su, but nothing could happen to the Su family!
Fortunately, her Sumerian father and brother are not as stupid as she is, and should be able to handle this matter cleanly.
Otherwise, the fall of the Su family would be no different from cutting off an arm of the Gong family!
The Queen Mother will surely be furious, and she will not be able to escape blame!
