Chapter 356 The Mystery of Mung Beans

Luo Lan rubbed the mung beans with her fingers, then raised her eyebrows and said:

"I just saw this mung bean, and there was a mark left by that person."

After saying this, she blinked her eyes a few times, looked at Leng Yu, and said with a serious expression:

"My husband, you ordered someone to make a wooden box, leaving a hole that can only hold one hand to put in, put some mung beans in it, then cover everyone's eyes, and let everyone touch these mung beans. At that time, I will know who is the culprit by comparing the hand patterns left on these mung beans and comparing them with the mung beans in my hand."

After saying this, she winked at Leng Yu, Leng Yu nodded with understanding. After whispering to Xiao Lingzi, he ordered him to prepare mung beans.

Seeing this, the emperor waved his hand with a serious expression and said:

"Since you want to investigate, let's investigate thoroughly and pass on my decree. Everyone at the scene, whether it is the prince, concubine or the ministers who are watching the fun, should check together as long as those who have just come here."

Hearing this, everyone held their breath and dared not speak.

After a while, everyone except the Emperor and Luo Lan and Leng Yu were blindfolded. Xiao Lingzi stood in front of Leng Yu with a wooden box covered with black cloth and asked.

"Prince, will you start?"

Leng Yu looked at Luo Lan with a side face. Luo Lan looked at the people standing in several rows and nodded to Xiao Lingzi:

"Now pass, let everyone reach into the hands and touch the mung beans. No one can take off the mask from their eyes before everyone touches them."

After Xiao Lingzi received the order, he came to Leng Xi first. Leng Xi was a little disdainful of this. Will he harm his own children? However, the emperor's words were not allowed to refute him, so he reached into the wooden box and rubbed the mung beans hard.

Next is Leng Ming, then Concubine Li, Concubine Chang...

Although this was ordered by Concubine Chang, she did not do it herself, so she was not worried about being found out. She just gave Madam Yu a wink, and she didn't know if she could see it.

In this way, the people put their hands into the wooden box one by one, kneaded the mung beans for a while, and then took out their hands.

The emperor looked at everyone with a serious look, Leng Yu's eyes were cold and ruthless, while Luo Lan stared at everyone who had touched the mung bean man's hand.

After a while, Xiao Lingzi came back with a wooden box.

"Princess, I've touched it all, what should I do now?"

Luo Lan shouted to everyone with a twitching corner of her mouth:

"Now everyone stretches out their hands that have touched mung beans and let me see your hands..."

Hearing this, Leng Xi raised his head and was the first to stretch out his hand. Luo Lan clearly saw that there were marks left by green pigments on his hand.

She looked at each other again. Without exception, these people were stained with green paint on their hands, but when she walked to Mama Yu, she found that her hands were very smooth and had no pigment at all.

She suddenly snorted coldly and said to Xiao Lingzi:

"Tie this nanny."

Hearing this, everyone was panicked. Xiao Lingzi led someone to pull Madam Yu to the emperor and took away the mask on her eyes. She panicked and shouted injustice:

"Princess Yu, what are you doing? I have nothing on my hands, so you can't falsely accused a good person."

Luo Lan came to her, looked at her smooth hands, and said to Xiao Lingzi:

"Let everyone take off the mask on their eyes!"

After hearing this, everyone pulled the mask off, and one of the palace maids exclaimed:

"My hands...why are my hands green?"

Seeing this, the rest of the people also exclaimed why their hands turned green. Leng Xi looked at his green hands and his eyebrows were immediately furrowed into a ball.

Luo Lan held his waist with one hand and said to the emperor:

"Father, everyone's hands are green, which proves that everyone has no ghosts in their hearts. They have touched the mung beans, but Madam Yu's hands are not stained with green at all. This proves that she has not touched the mung beans at all. This is enough to show that she has a ghost in her heart and she dare not touch them, so she must have put those mung beans."

Hearing this, Madam Yu was suddenly a little panicked. Concubine Chang had a dark face and did not speak out. She wanted to wait quietly to see the development of the situation before making plans.

The emperor suddenly shouted,

"Madam Yu, you are so brave. You dare to attack Princess Xi. Who told you to do this?"

Hearing this, Concubine Li's mouth felt a little proud. When she looked at Concubine Chang, she looked gloating.

Seeing that the matter could not be hidden, Madam Yu hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy:

"The emperor, it was Lao Nu's fault. Lao Nu mistakenly sprinkled the mung beans that were preparing to make porridge. Unexpectedly, Princess Xi fell down. Lao Nu was wrong, please punish him."

"You'll talk nonsense."

Concubine Li suddenly took two steps forward and shouted loudly:

"Before the flower viewing banquet started, I ordered people to clean up every inch of the land in the back garden. Not to mention these mung beans, even a piece of hair was cleaned up. But you said that these mung beans were used to make porridge? What did you do in the imperial garden? Obviously, you did it on purpose. Tell me quickly, who told you to do this?"

Concubine Li hoped that she would say now that Concubine Chang instructed her to do this, but Madam Yu had been following Concubine Chang for more than ten years. How could she betray her master?

So she gritted her teeth and simply replied:

"Yes, I sprinkled those mung beans on purpose. I just want Princess Xi and Princess Yu to fall and make them miscarriage..."

"Bang!"

Before she could finish her words, Concubine Chang suddenly rushed out with a quick step, slapped her heavily in the face, and said coldly:

"You dare to carry me on your back and do such a despicable thing. You are such a life-and-death thing."

Madam Yu stared at Concubine Chang with her red eyes and looked down at her angry Concubine Chang, and said with a look down:

"The old slave is guilty, please punish the queen."

The emperor, who looked angry, suddenly gritted his teeth, pointed at Madam Yu, and shouted loudly:

"Where are you here, pull this lifeless slave down and kill him."

When Madam Yu heard the word "Slaying a Stick", she suddenly panicked. She looked up at Concubine Chang, "Empress, you say something to me. I have been with you for more than ten years. I have no credit and still have hard work."

But no matter how much Madam Yu asked, Concubine Chang did not plead for her, but looked at her coldly and glared in a cold voice:

"You can't live your own sins. Madam Yu, even if you and me will do such things that are hard tolerant to heaven, even if the emperor doesn't kill you, I will not tolerate you."

Hearing this, Madam Yu knelt on the ground like a deflated balloon.

At this moment, two guards came over and pulled her arms aside. Seeing that she was really going to be killed by a stick, Concubine Chang was so cold that she didn't even look at her. Madam Yu suddenly shouted wildly:

"The emperor, it was Concubine Chang who asked Lao Nu to do this. Lao Nu was forced to do it. Please let the emperor take a closer look."

Hearing this, Concubine Chang's face turned pale when she glared. She hurriedly knelt on the ground, swung her hands hard and shook her head.

"Your Majesty, she is talking nonsense. She is slandering her concubine. Where are you here? Just pull her down and chop her down. Don't let her talk nonsense here."

Madam Yu gasped and said furiously:

"Concubine Chang, I never expected that your heart would be so cruel. You asked me to do this. The mung bean was bought by your destiny Ruyi to go out of the palace. The emperor didn't believe it, but he asked the girl around her to come out and trust her."

The emperor was already furious. When he heard Madam Yu's words, he could not hear Concubine Chang's explanation. Instead, he said angrily:
Chapter completed!
