Chapter 187 Farce

It turned out that earlier today.

Su Yue followed Dan Xue to Yu Kang Palace to give gifts to Concubine Liu. Concubine Liu did not show up, so they just put down their gifts and left.

But less than a quarter of an hour later, Su Yue suddenly returned.

It was said that the wrong item was delivered. One item that was supposed to be sent to Shen Danying was sent to Lady Liu instead.

Qinghe had never heard of such a thing in all her years in the palace, so she was naturally very angry. After a few inappropriate words, the two of them started quarreling.

Su Yue said, "What's a beauty? Everyone knows that my master is the most favored one in the palace. Not to mention a beauty, she can even be a concubine in the future!"

This startled Lady Liu, and she shouted, "Get rid of them!"

Su Yue was very stubborn, she waved her hand and said, "They are just some fried food. Seeing how shabby your Yukang Palace is, I will keep them for you!"

Lady Liu was impatient and had a bad temper. When she heard this, she was furious. She ran out from the inner hall and scolded Su Yue, and even threw away the things she had sent to her.

Just this one throw, coupled with the excitement, caused her to have severe abdominal pain and she went into premature labor.

After hearing Qinghe's words, Yunqin didn't know what the emperor thought. She just thought it was ridiculous.

However, one has to admit that such a simple and crude method is just right to deal with Miss Liu. It can even be described as clever.

While Qinghe was speaking, Xu Daying had already rushed over and was sitting next to Shen Daying.

After hearing Qing He's words, she covered her lips with a handkerchief and said, "What's a beauty? She is also worthy of being a noble concubine. Xi Danying is really arrogant."

Before Yunqin could say anything, Suyue said quickly, "This is all nonsense from the people in Yukang Palace. I never said such a thing. Promise me, I really never said such a thing!"

Her aggrieved look made Qing He even more angry, and she swore, "Your Majesty, if I say even a single word of falsehood, I will die a miserable death!"

"Your Majesty." De Fei spoke at this time, "In my opinion, no matter what Su Yue said, her presence in the palace is the most powerful evidence. Concubine Liu's miscarriage is definitely related to her!"

"Su Yue, why did you come back?"

Su Yue shed tears, still looking innocent, "I hope Your Majesty will understand, it was Danxue who ordered me to come to Yukang Palace..."

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Su Yue's words happened to be heard by Dan Xue who walked in. She immediately shouted, then knelt on the ground and saluted the nobles in the hall.

Other palace maids from Yanning Palace also came with her.

After hearing that this matter was related to them, Xu An went to bring them here personally.

Although Danxue didn't know what happened, she could tell that Su Yue wanted to put the blame on her. She immediately said, "Your Majesty and all the masters, I didn't ask her to go back to Yukang Palace. She said she was not feeling well and wanted to go back to Yanning Palace, so I let her go!"

"Everyone who has been with me can attest to this!"

The people kneeling beside her also nodded to prove her point.

Su Yue looked incredulous, "Sister, it was obviously you. You said the item was delivered to the wrong place, and asked me to come back to get it. You also said that I must get it back no matter what."

Looking at her genuine appearance, Yun Qin was somewhat impressed by her acting skills.

They have known each other for quite some time, so how come she didn't realize that there is such a talented person in Yanning Palace?

Dan Xue was obviously also shocked, her voice was a little out of tune, "You are slandering me!"

Su Yue just kept crying, "Sister, are you trying to clear yourself of any connection with this matter by joining forces with others? I am just a little palace maid. If it weren't for your order, how would I dare to come back to Yukang Palace?"

"If my sister hadn't told me to get the things back, and that the master wouldn't blame me even if there was a conflict, how could I have risked my life like this!"

Hearing that her master was involved, Dan Xue immediately said angrily: "When did I ever tell you this?"

"After hearing so much, Xi Danying, won't you say a few words?" Xu Danying spoke in a cold tone.

Danxue immediately looked at Yunqin, fearing that she really thought this was her order.

Yun Qin looked at Xu Danying coldly, "I know nothing about this matter. What do you want me to say, Xu Danying? I can also make up a story for you?"

It was the first time she spoke so sharply, and everyone couldn't help but raise their eyebrows.

Yun Qin didn't look at the people below, but only looked at Huo Jinchi and said, "Your Majesty, I can't tell who is lying among them. Why don't we just send them all to the Ministry of Punishment for trial first?"

She knew in her heart that although Yanning Palace was not a monolithic entity, both Rong Xin and Xiao Shunzi were secretly watching the palace people.

Even if there were problems with one or two of them, it would not implicate Danxue and the three palace maids who testified for her.

Therefore, it is most likely that Su Yue betrayed him.

No matter how she tries to defend herself now, she will be the one who is most afraid when hearing the three words "Ministry of Punishment".

Sure enough, Yun Qin said this.

Dan Xue just collapsed to the ground, looking resigned but not panicked.

But Su Yue was the complete opposite. She panicked immediately and kept shouting that she was innocent and that this matter had nothing to do with her. It was all Dan Xue's orders.

If Su Yue is really innocent, there is no need to be so scared. She can just go to the Ministry of Punishment and explain herself.

She clearly knew that once she got into the hands of the people in the Ministry of Punishment, she would have to explain everything in detail, but since the story was made up, there would inevitably be loopholes.

I simply can't stand the scrutiny.

Yun Qin's eyes were filled with frost. She glanced at the two people and said to Huo Jinchi, "Your Majesty, you have seen this. I'm sure you have an idea of ​​who should be sent to the Ministry of Punishment, right?"

The contrast was so obvious that anyone with a bit of vision in the palace could see that something was wrong.

Huo Jinchi also turned his head to look at Yun Qin, but she kept her eyes down and did not raise them.

Her look made Hawking Chi frown slightly.

"Su Yue, why don't you come here!" he said angrily.

Su Yue still cried out that she was innocent. Just after Huo Jinchi called out "Xu An", Qing He suddenly shouted:

"Your Majesty, maybe Danxue is so fearless because someone is protecting her."

Others believed in Yun Qin, but she didn't. Her master hated her, and she had friction with Yun Qin before. Not to mention that she was once a maid of Concubine Su. Who knew if she would also hate her master?

Yun Qin immediately sneered, "You mean to say that I ordered Dan Xue to harm your beauty, and then passed the blame to Su Yue, right?"

"Danxue has only been with me for a few days. If this is such an important and secret matter, why don't I let Rongxin, who has been with me the longest, do it, and give it to her instead?"

"Is it good for me to send her and Su Yue to the Ministry of Punishment? If it was you who was thrown into the Ministry of Punishment by your master, would you bear a grudge and confess everything?"

She finally quipped, "Not everyone is as brainless as you!"

Yun Qin's words choked Qing He. She did not use her reason to argue with Yun Qin, but just said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, whether it is true or not, you will know after one trial!"

"The innocent will be cleared." Dan Xue was obviously also very scared, her face was pale, and her body couldn't stop shaking, "I am willing to go to the Ministry of Punishment to clear my name!"

Su Yue also wanted to say the same thing, but she was shaking more violently than Dan Xue and could not speak clearly.

At this point, it is clear who is lying.

The queen, who had been silent all this time, now opened her eyes and looked at Su Yue.

She said coldly: "Who on earth ordered you to harm Lady Liu?"

As soon as the queen opened her mouth, everyone looked at her. They obviously didn't expect that she would be the first person to stand up and speak for Yun Qin.

After all, what she said showed that she thought Yunqin was innocent.

Su Yue collapsed on the ground, no longer as determined as before, but still did not change her words.
