Concubine Shu said angrily: "Step aside, you don't need to take care of this kind of thing."
The thirteenth princess had no choice but to shut up angrily.
Concubine Shu looked at Concubine Wen again: "I have never done anything before. There is nothing to feel guilty about. You can check it any way you want!"
She gritted her teeth and sneered: "I would like to see what you can find out!"
Concubine Wen said calmly: "Then thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding."
Concubine Shu: "Humph."
Concubine Wen looked at Hu Hongzhi again: "Besides the waist badge, do you have anything else to identify?"
Hu Hongzhi: "No...no more..."
Concubine Wen frowned.
The ladies present whispered: "How to check this?"
"Except for a waistband, there are no clues, and I don't even know his appearance."
"There are quite a few maids in Jinhua Palace, hundreds of them. Isn't this looking for a needle in a haystack?"
"Furthermore, the Thirteenth Princess is right in what she said. The person with the belt may not necessarily be from Jinhua Palace, but it may also be a stolen belt to frame the imperial concubine..."
"If this is the case, it will be even more difficult to find a needle in a haystack. There are many people in the harem, and there are too many people who have access to Jinhua Palace. Moreover, if the waist badge is lost and picked up, you don't know..."
"Yeah, I have no clue at all."
The whispers of everyone reached his ears.
Concubine Shu's furious mood gradually calmed down. She looked at Concubine Wen as if she was watching a show, to see what she could do.
Concubine Wen hasn't spoken yet.
The Thirteenth Princess on the side suddenly saw Xiao Lingyue and saw her standing in the crowd with a cold expression, as if she was aloof from the incident, and she was wearing clothes that she had already changed.
The Thirteenth Princess rolled her eyes: "A concubine is not necessarily a palace maid."
Concubine Shu frowned: "What do you mean?"
The Thirteenth Princess sneered and said: "If someone uses the badge of Jinhua Palace to frame you, it may not necessarily be the palace maid. It is more likely to be someone who has a grudge against the mother and concubine and has the opportunity to enter the palace.
Mother-in-law, just think about it and you will know.
The rules of the harem are strict, and it is not easy to bribe the maids.
What's more important is that the palace maid is not so bold as to plot to frame her mother-in-law, and she has no reason to do so.
But others may not!
Especially those who have had issues with the mother and concubine, are so bold, have the opportunity to enter the palace from time to time, and even come into contact with the mother and concubine!"
Everyone looked at the Thirteenth Princess in surprise. What she said sounded reasonable.
But it’s not like what the Thirteenth Princess would say.
She continued: "Moreover, if the mother and concubine think about it carefully, why did this person choose to take action today? Isn't it just to ruin the mother-in-law's birthday party?
My cousin is from the Hu family and has an inseparable relationship with my mother and concubine.
Once the incident comes to light, Concubine Mu will be the first to be suspected, and she can even use this to sow discord between Concubine Mu and Concubine Wen. It can be said that she is very scheming!
How can ordinary palace maids have such ability? And it is difficult to sneak into the birthday banquet of the mother-in-law.
So I think that the person who pretended to be Mother Concubine and instigated my cousin to attack Eighth Sister must have an identity, and it is very possible that he was even at the scene, waiting to see the show between Mother Concubine and Concubine Wen!"
Everyone was shocked.
Concubine Shu's expression changed: "Go on."
The thirteenth princess suppressed her excitement and looked at Hu Hongzhi: "I have to ask my cousin for the rest."
