Chapter 725, oppressing people with power, persecuting
When the Queen hurried over, the Seventh Princess had already been summoned by the Queen Mother. Compared to the Sixth Princess, who only covered her face, the Seventh Princess wore a curtain hat on her head, which made her look not very good. She held the hand of the palace maid one step at a time.
He walked into the hall three times, his voice hoarse.
The Queen was heartbroken, but she had to see the Queen Mother first.
The Queen Mother snorted coldly and asked the Queen to sit down first.
A chamberlain came out and explained what he had just found out.
"Royal grandmother, Shuang'er doesn't know about this." The seventh princess felt aggrieved after hearing what the chambermaid said, "Shuang'er has been in the palace these past few days and hasn't gone anywhere. She just wants to take good care of herself. The gift from the sixth sister,
Shuang'er didn't watch it before, but when she watched it later, she felt unhappy and took it back."
The seventh princess lowered her eyebrows and said obediently, and gently pressed the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief inside the curtain hat: "Grandma Huang knows that Shuang'er can't go anywhere now."
What happened just now made the emperor angry, so most people would not do anything at this time.
It's just that the seventh princess really hated Yu Xijiao and felt that the matter was perfect and there was no way it could involve her, so she couldn't help but take action.
"Seventh sister, I did give you the silk thread, but I just had it delivered to you. Your embroidery skills are average and you basically don't know how to do it. What do I want to do if I dye this silk thread with fishtail flowers? Besides,
It happened a few days ago."
The sixth princess Feng Jingrong also felt aggrieved. She stretched out her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes and lowered her head.
In this way, there is almost no suspicion of the Sixth Princess. Who would harm a palace maid and spend so much effort to deal with only one palace maid? It would be a joke to tell it.
"Sixth sister, do you think... it's me? But why should I... do this?" The seventh princess glanced at the sixth princess. Although her face became panicked, no one could see her because of the curtain hat.
Hearing that Yu Xijiao actually escaped again and only had to deal with a few palace maids, the Seventh Princess was extremely angry, but she had to express her grievances.
Yu Xijiao is good at embroidery, and Yu Xijiao would even go to the palace to do embroidery with Zhang Wanyin...
"When the silk thread was returned, I didn't know that Princess Mingqing would use it, let alone that it had something to do with Miss Yu San. I was just in the palace and couldn't go anywhere. If the imperial grandmother hadn't announced that I was here,
I...I don’t know anything yet, so I’m accused of something out of nowhere.”
baffling?
Yu Xijiao sneered, the seventh princess was really haunted, she was like this, and she still wanted to harm herself.
Compared with others, the seventh princess is like a mad dog, a mad dog that bullies the weak and fears the strong. This means that she is really bent on killing herself.
If she hadn't felt something strange about the thread just now, if she hadn't deliberately refused to touch it, she would have been the one to cause this problem now.
If you are first contaminated with silk thread, and then contaminated with Mingxinzi on cakes, and finally leave the palace, and when you really develop blisters and have left the palace, and you can't find out the cause for a while, you can imagine what your final outcome will be.
"Royal Grandmother, Shuang'er and Wanyin have always been very good friends. They have grown up together since childhood. This time Wanyin returned to Beijing, Shuang'er was very happy and would not harm Wanyin. As for Miss Yu...
..." The seventh princess was still defending, her eyes slowly raised and fell on Yu Xijiao's face.
The eyes under the curtain are hateful, but the voice is very calm, and even sounds a little aggrieved: "Except for a little misunderstanding between Miss Yu San and I, the relationship between the two of us is good. Miss Yu San is right.
?”
The Seventh Princess was sure that Yu Xijiao did not dare to refute her words in front of the Queen Mother and Queen Mother.
As long as she doesn't refute, it means that she, Zhang Wanyin, and Yu Xijiao have no grievances, so how can she deal with them two? Like Feng Jingrong, she can't just deal with a few ordinary palace maids.
Isn't this a joke?
Hearing that she was mentioned, Yu Xijiao slowly raised her head, and everyone's eyes fell on her, waiting for her to respond.
The corners of his lips curled up silently. Many people present could guess that the matter had something to do with the Seventh Princess, but now they seemed to believe her as they testified for the Seventh Princess.
Invisibly forcing yourself!
"Seventh princess, I dare not." Yu Xi said delicately.
The seventh princess couldn't help but reveal a proud smile on her face. She knew that Yu Xijiao didn't dare to confront her in person, and she would definitely be more careful next time.
Since Yu Xijiao got into her eyes, she must die.
She couldn't tolerate a grain of sand in her eyes. A grain of sand got into her eyes once. Even if the grain of sand was different to Li Lang, so what, she wouldn't be trampled to death in the end.
Whenever she sets her sights on someone, she will die.
No one’s daughter is of any use…
"But the most important thing in this matter may be the minister, or it may be Princess Mingqing. Princess Mingqing is getting married, and everyone knows that nothing can go wrong. If something happens to Princess Mingqing, the marriage must be postponed.
Prince Duan's marriage has caused some new troubles, which no one wants to see. How will Princess Mingqing handle herself when the time comes, and what will happen to the Queen Mother?"
Yu Xijiao continued, frowning slightly, "Princess Mingqing is a person close to the Queen Mother, and she serves the Queen Mother wholeheartedly. If something happens at this time, what do you want to do? Do you want to harm Princess Mingqing, or do you want to harm the Queen Mother?
Is it not good for the empress?"
The last sentence she said was not high-spirited, and it even felt like she was talking to herself.
She didn't believe what he meant. The Queen Mother was not shocked at all. This... something similar had happened before!
As soon as these words came out, many people present were shocked. The Queen's face changed drastically. Just when she was about to speak, she saw the Queen Mother's face suddenly darkened and she shook her hand: "Who went to the imperial kitchen to get the snacks and preserved fruits?"
This question should have been asked a long time ago, but it has been ignored by everyone. Now it was brought up again by the Queen Mother.
Everyone seemed to suddenly wake up.
The person holding the cake is indeed very important.
The seventh princess breathed out hard and almost wanted to reach out and slap Yu Xijiao. How dare this bitch, how dare she contradict her face to face.
"The Queen Mother, my maid went to get it." Zhang Wanyin said softly.
The maid Yu Yan who was standing next to her knelt down and said in a trembling voice, "The Queen Mother, this slave... went to get the cakes."
"Did you hear anyone say anything related to pastries when you were picking them up, or did someone specifically lead you to say that these pastries and preserved fruits are particularly good?" A chamberlain beside the Queen Mother asked coldly.
"Slave... I don't know. When I passed by, I saw these dishes there, so I... just... took them," Yu Yan said hurriedly.
The seventh princess's hands clenched the handkerchief tightly, and her heart almost jumped to her throat.
"Only these are the dishes you see?" the waiter asked again.
"No...no more. I just took a few dishes outside. The other...slave...didn't...didn't take them." Yu Yan said with a pale face.
"Didn't you hear anyone say that?" the waiter continued to ask.
"No, slave, come in. The imperial kitchen is busy, so I just took it. This is what slaves did in the past. Our princess will use some cakes in the afternoon." Yu Yan said in a low voice.
"I would go get it in the past, but at this time?" the waiter thought for a while and asked.
"Yes... everyone in the imperial kitchen knows about this." Yu Yan nodded hurriedly.
"Royal Grandma, Shuang'er is really unjust. Shuang'er... really doesn't know anything and is somehow involved in this matter." The seventh princess wailed and knelt down, feeling aggrieved.
The palms of her hands were full of sweat. The moment the maid answered, her heart was lifted. Fortunately... fortunately, it was the same as her previous guess.
"Come here, let's check the imperial dining room." The Queen Mother looked at the seventh princess coldly, then nodded and asked someone to check the imperial dining room.
Soon the news came from the Imperial Kitchen. In the past, Princess Mingqing would indeed take the cakes at this time. The cakes were placed on a table. Many people passed by. There were also masters from each palace who would send people to the Imperial Kitchen.
I want some food, and I have been to several places, including people from the Seventh Princess' Palace.
But no one saw anything unusual in the seventh princess's palace, that is, they took the medicinal food to be stewed and left as usual. The sixth and seventh princesses have been using medicinal food in the past few days.
Seeing that the Queen Mother was silent, the Queen came out to smooth things over: "Your Majesty, this matter must have been an accident. Who would have thought that mixing these two things together could have such great harm."
"Accident? If there is an accident in this matter, no matter which one of them it is, the Ai family will be very sad." The Queen Mother snorted coldly, and actually rebuked the Queen directly.
The queen did not expect that the queen mother would be so disrespectful to her. Her face suddenly froze and she was very embarrassed, but then she immediately reacted, "The queen mother, it is indeed my daughter-in-law's fault. I didn't expect the two of them to be like this."
Act and take away all the good silk threads so that Princess Mingqing has no good silk threads to use."
This means that the sixth princess is also involved. There is no direct proof that this matter is related to the seventh princess. It can only be said to be specious.
Many people present suspected the seventh princess, but there was no clear evidence.
"First the threads and then the cakes. This time it's the two of them, next time it's the Aijia?" the Queen Mother said sternly, glaring at the Queen coldly, "I don't know if the Aijia has offended someone, or someone.
If you don’t want the good of the Ai family, but if you want the life of the Ai family, one person will dominate.”
The queen couldn't bear these words, so she knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, my wife is wrong."
The sixth princess also knelt down in a hurry.
Also kneeling down at the same time were Zhang Wanyin, Yu Xijiao, and everyone else. The Queen Mother was angry. Who else in the palace dared to stand.
"Are you wrong? It's the Ai family's fault. The Ai family's mistake was that they should not have left the two of them in the palace. Neither of them looked down upon the good of the Ai family. They first dealt with the people around the Ai family, and then
Is this the right person for the Aijia?"
The Queen Mother suddenly angrily rebuked, slammed the table hard, and pointed in the air: "Okay, one or two of them have other thoughts. They just feel that the Ai family has nothing to do now, and they can't control you anymore."
"The Queen Mother, I don't dare." The Queen said aggrievedly, how could she dare to accept such words.
"Don't you dare?" The Queen Mother sneered and pointed at the objects on the table, "What else are you afraid of? Now that the trouble has come to the Ai family, is it possible that the next target is the Ai family?"
"Empress Dowager, it is my wife's fault." The queen bowed her head and admitted her mistake. If true, what happened in the palace was indeed the queen's fault.
The Seventh Princess was feeling aggrieved and angry. Although she was kneeling in an orderly manner, glaring coldly at the Queen Mother through her curtain hat, the old lady couldn't see her face because of the gauze on her face.
I really don’t understand why this damn old lady dances so hard, and what this has to do with her...
