Mo Ye's sudden arrival made Ning Yujin somewhat unexpected.
So after everyone fell to their knees, she once again stood there gorgeously and erectly, standing out from the crowd.
"Miss……"
Zi Su pulled the hem of her skirt to remind her, but before she could react, she saw Mo Ye walking straight into the hall and saying in a calm tone: "Doctor Ning is not feeling well, so I will excuse you."
Bar."
Ning Yujin suddenly wanted to jump up and say - who is not feeling well? Who is not feeling well? My body is in great shape, I eat so deliciously, seven times a night... Ahem, I can sleep in this bed until the end of the world!
But I thought I didn’t need to salute, okay, I forgive him.
So Ning Yujin got the advantage and acted like a good boy, and followed him in without hesitation.
Of course, there are people outside to take care of it, and they must be investigating the issue of the outlet of the jewelry, so she doesn't have to worry about it anymore.
"I heard that it was you who assassinated Concubine Hui?" Mo Ye sat on the main seat, looked at Ning Yujin and raised his eyebrows, saying this.
Ning Yujin raised her eyebrows high, her eyes widened, and she puffed out her cheeks and said, "Who is this nonsense? I was obviously framed! Someone bribed the palace maid just now to frame me, and you saw it too, Your Majesty.
Now I’m just waiting for the results to come out to clear my name.”
"Framed..." Mo Ye raised one corner of his lips with a smile.
Seeing this, Ning Yujin quickly raised her hand and swore to the sky: "Your Majesty, if you don't believe it, just let me..."
"Forget it." Mo Ye leaned back, raised his hand and said, "If you really assassinated Concubine Hui, maybe I would be quite happy."
At least it shows that she cares about him a little and is jealous of him.
But in fact, she never cared which concubine he favored, so how could she have the motive to assassinate Concubine Hui?
"What?" Ning Yujin listened to Mo Ye's words, but she thought wrongly and looked at him sideways, "Your Majesty, do you not like Concubine Hui, but you have to pamper her, so you hope someone will kill her?"
"What nonsense!" Mo Ye frowned and glared at her pretending to be annoyed.
Ning Yujin quickly shut up and remained silent.
Mo Ye looked at Ning Yujin's opportunistic nature and really didn't know what to say about her.
It was as if the last quarrel never existed, and she could do whatever she wanted. As long as she didn't mention Mo Jingxiao in front of her, it seemed like she could say anything.
On the contrary, he, after leaving Yu'an Palace last time, kept all his emotions in his chest and even got sick because of it. It's really ironic now that he thinks about it.
This is probably the difference between caring and not caring.
Crossing his hands and twirling his thumbs, he said: "There has been some chaos in the four countries recently. If some gossipy palace maid and eunuch tells you something, just listen to it and don't take it seriously."
Ning Yujin raised her head and looked at Mo Ye, then suddenly raised the corner of her mouth and smiled: "Your Majesty, you have people guard Yu'an Palace so tightly, even if there is any news, it won't be able to get through."
Mo Ye paused for a moment and then said: "I'm doing this for your own good."
The smile on Ning Yujin's face slowly disappeared, and then she walked aside and sat down alone, saying calmly: "If you are really good for me, you shouldn't hide it from me about the situation over there in Xizhou."
Xizhou! Xizhou! Xizhou! She was filled with satisfaction and all she was thinking about was Mo Jingxiao!
Mo Ye felt a wave of anger rising from the bottom of his heart. He clenched and unclenched the five-fingered fists in his sleeves, and finally said with a calm face: "I still have some government affairs to deal with, so I won't stay any longer. I've been wronging you a little lately, okay.
Stay in Yu'an Palace and don't go anywhere."
Saying this, without waiting for Ning Yujin to say anything else, he stood up and left Yu'an Palace in a hurry.
Ning Yujin looked at the retreating figure and was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head and chuckled, not knowing whether to laugh at others or herself.
"Miss..." Seeing Mo Ye leave, Zi Su came into the room and called her cautiously.
She waved her hand and said: "It's getting late, let's take a rest."
He said he should rest, but he tossed and turned and had no sleep all night.
The next day after getting up and washing up, I heard news from the Shenxing Division - Xinglan was recruited.
She was tortured all night long. When she was dying, she wrote the word "Hui" on the ground with her bloody fingers, pointing directly at Concubine Hui.
"Concubine Hui was assassinated, but the finger was pointed at Concubine Hui. Could it be that the assassination was a ploy directed and performed by Concubine Hui, specifically to frame the young lady?" Zisu peeled an egg for Ning Yujin and placed it on her
in front of.
"Some things should not be taken at face value." Ning Yujin drank her porridge slowly, but was not surprised by the news.
Zi Su tilted her head, a little puzzled: "Is there something inside?"
Ning Yujin lowered her eyelids slightly: "It's none of our business, just watch the show first."
Although Mo Ye had people surround Yu'an Palace, he still allowed some news to be conveyed in. There was no need for her to be anxious.
In the afternoon, the people who went out to investigate the origin of Xinglan's bag of jewelry also got results. Most of the jewelry came from a jewelry shop called Jinmanlou in Mingguang Road. Generally, only local officials and gentry would go there to order jewelry.
Coincidentally, before being promoted, Prime Minister Pei Xingqian served as the governor of Mingguang Road and Chengqi Road, and his residence was at Mingguang Road Mansion.
Based on the word "Hui" Xinglan confessed, we cannot infer that it is Concubine Hui, but once the origin of the jewelry is determined, we can basically determine who it is.
Mo Ye immediately ordered Concubine Hui to be placed under house arrest, and Shucui Palace was searched, and the scope of the search was also expanded.
In the evening, new results came in: two partial medical books were found from Shucui Palace. Two of the pages were creased. Looking carefully at the contents, they actually talked about the toxicity of mimosa and the taboos of soft-shelled turtles!
This can't help but remind people of the pots of mimosa brought to Kunning Palace for no reason, and the turtle soup that made Shen Yixuan faint. It seems that the truth of some things is about to be revealed.
At the same time, another palace official confirmed that he had seen Xinglan entering and exiting Shucui Palace in the middle of the night, and Concubine Hui's accusation was confirmed.
First, he planned to murder the queen and the young prince, and then used a bitter trick to frame Ning Yujin. He was punished for both crimes, and Mo Ye imprisoned them immediately.
"He intended to murder the queen, and also designed to frame you, young lady, but you were only imprisoned and not sent to the punishment department. Could this be a way for the emperor to weigh Prime Minister Pei's power?"
Regarding the fact that Concubine Hui, who attempted to frame Ning Yujin, did not receive the punishment she deserved, Zisu's expression did not change, but there was obvious dissatisfaction between the lines.
Ning Yujin was lying by the window looking at the round moon outside, and answered the question: "Zisu, do you know? The moon itself does not emit light. Although the sun cannot be seen at night, the sunlight shines on the moon and is reflected.
The light turned into moonlight.”
Sometimes what seems to be a real problem may also hide another truth.
"What the hell." Zisu obviously didn't respond.
Ning Yujin turned around, stretched, and said, "Oh, the day goes by so fast~~ It's time to take a shower."
