The wet nurse didn't expect that Kang Yanning suddenly changed direction and pointed directly at the right person. Her eyes trembled subconsciously.
This detail, which originally made other concubines who were not ashamed to watch the excitement, also got excited in their hearts. They couldn't really be exposed.
Concubine Shu naturally saw the nanny's expression, and she frowned: "Princess, this method you are using is too unfounded. There is a problem with using your fingers. If you do what you want, isn't it possible?"
To frame others?"
Kang Yanning naturally knew about such disadvantages, but Concubine Shu was cautious in doing things. Otherwise, how could she be caught.
She smiled and said, "Shu Fei, don't worry, Yan Ning is not a person who treats deer like horses. Give Yan Ning some time."
Concubine Shu wanted to say something more, but when Emperor Wei Chang glanced over at her, she immediately closed her mouth and said no more.
Kang Yanning said to the eldest maid behind Concubine Shu, "Then tell me what you were doing during your lunch break the day before yesterday. Is there anyone who can be a witness? If you can't tell me, can I search your house to prove it?"
Your innocence."
The maid held her neck, looking as if she had been slandered, "It was snowing heavily that day, and Concubine Shu did not need a slave to serve her, so she went back to her room to rest. Indeed, there was no witness."
The maid's eyes were red, "Of course the princess can search the slave's house. Although the slave has a low status, she is also loyal. If the princess puts this unfounded crime on the slave, it is better for the slave to die."
Kang Yanning curled up her lips and said comfortingly, "Don't worry, you and I are neither relatives nor friends, and we have no deep hatred. If you did it, you couldn't run away. If you hadn't done it, I wouldn't have wronged you."
Kang Yanning called Forsythia and Bai Zhi over, and after giving a few instructions to each other, they left.
Although Kang Yanning vaguely knew the answer based on his previous life, he didn't know what the details were, and was a little uneasy. He could only wait with Emperor Wei Chang and the concubines, and kept looking at the door.
After a while, Forsythia and Angelica came back and said a few words in Kang Yanning's ears respectively. Kang Yanning's eyes lit up and she felt a little better.
Everyone stared at Kang Yanning intently, waiting to see what she was hiding.
Kang Yanning knew that the wet nurse wanted to die and ignored her. So she asked Concubine Shu's eldest maid, "Mistress, you said that Concubine Shu did not need to serve you the day before yesterday, so you went back to the room, right?"
The maid nodded.
She then asked Concubine Shu, "Concubine Shu, do you still remember that what this palace maid said is true?"
Concubine Shu glanced at Emperor Wei Chang and saw that he had not spoken, so she knew that her words had to be answered. She secretly gritted her teeth and stroked her forehead, as if recalling, "That day was too ordinary, I don't remember it."
Kang Yanning nodded, "But that day was the only snowy day in recent days, so Xu Jieyu took the second princess to the main hall for a lunch break. Is Yanning right?"
Kang Yanning turned her attention to Xu Jieyu.
Xu Jieyu nodded immediately, "Princess, you have a good memory. It's true. The second princess has grown up, and she seldom sleeps with me like before. It snowed heavily the day before yesterday, and I was afraid that it was a long way from the main hall to the second princess's bedroom, and the second princess would catch a cold.
I made the second princess sleep in the main hall."
Kang Yanning responded, "So that day, the right time, the right place, and the right people, the second princess's nanny had the opportunity to go out and meet."
She clapped her hands, and Forsythia and Angelica each came in with a pair of shoes.
The shoes in Forsythia's hands have an older design and color, and are embroidered with sparrow heads, which shows that the embroidery work is excellent. The shoes in Bai Zhi's hands are of a new color, and are also embroidered with the Ruyi-head cirrus clouds that palace ladies like to embroider nowadays.
The two of them took the shoes and put them in the hall.
Concubine Shu didn't know what Kang Yanning was going to do, but seeing how confident she was, she subconsciously didn't want to let her succeed. She said, "Princess, women care about reputation. You took the shoes of the wet nurse and me, the palace maid, and let people see them."
, how can I, the great palace maid, meet people in the future?"
Kang Yanning was unwilling to give in at all. "My dear, Yanning believes that it is more important to find the person who wants to harm the second princess.
The empress also has a eldest princess, so she should understand the love of a mother. If the mastermind behind the scenes cannot be found today, the empresses with children in the harem may live in such a frightening day. It is impossible to guard against those who harm others. Yan Ning believes that the empress still has nothing to do with it.
It’s just pushing and blocking.”
"You..." Concubine Shu was angry and wanted to say something else.
These words were serious. Emperor Wei Chang hurriedly said before Concubine Shu could speak, "Concubine Shu has been in charge of the harem for many years, and nothing like this has ever happened. Suddenly this happened, and she must have been anxious and angry. He asked Yan Ning to check it out."
Concubine Shu secretly resented the Lord's favoritism, but she could do nothing about it. She sat back and said no more.
Kang Yanning said yes, and then continued, "Yan Ning, please ask Your Majesty and the empresses to think about it. If these two people do bad things, they must find a place where there is no one and no one is safe to meet. They can meet Xu Jie in Concubine Shu's palace."
Where is the most suitable place for your palace?"
Everyone frowned for a moment, but then they heard that Concubine Zhao, who had never been nosy and had the fourth prince, suddenly said, "Merlin."
Kang Yanning's eyes lit up, she looked at Concubine Zhao and encouraged, "Can you please tell me how you came up with this idea?"
Concubine Zhao glanced at Concubine Shu, raised her lips, and said lazily, "What's so difficult about this?"
"The only way for Concubine Shu's palace and Xu Jieyu's palace to pass is this plum grove. Besides, the eldest princess likes plum blossoms and has long since taken this plum grove as her own."
She glanced sideways at Concubine Shu, who had a bad look on her face, and felt better: "Others are not allowed to enter this plum forest easily. Naturally, it is inaccessible and no one else can go there."
Kang Yanning nodded in agreement, "It's true that Concubine Zhao has a jade orchid heart."
As he said that, he turned over both of their embroidered shoes, and sure enough, he saw traces of plum blossom pink on the soles of their shoes.
The maid retorted loudly, "This can only prove that I have been to Merlin. As you said, Merlin is our eldest princess's favorite place. I wore these shoes and accompanied the eldest princess to Merlin before. This is not evidence."
Kang Yanning smiled and nodded, "Of course, you are right to say so."
She continued, "But don't you think it's strange?" Kang Yanning looked at the nanny, "Nanny, you don't seem to be afraid at all."
The nurse of the second princess heard her question and looked at her in astonishment.
"From the moment you were found stuffing smallpox water into the second princess's medicine pillow, except for begging me and Xu Jieyu to let you go, you haven't said a word.
The plot to kill the emperor's heir is to kill the nine tribes. But you still don't say a word, you are not afraid."
Kang Yanning walked up to the wet nurse and took out a golden bead from her arms, "Is it because of this?"
As soon as the bead was taken out, not only the wet nurse became excited, but even Concubine Shu's face visibly darkened. She looked at the eldest maid next to her, and the murderous intent was clearly visible in her eyes.
"Because you have something that Concubine Shu is afraid of, so you are not afraid that Concubine Shu will not protect you. Maybe this will only convict you of murdering the emperor's heir. But in the end, you know that you are fine."
"You!" The nanny finally became anxious, with a look of panic, helplessness and fear on her face. She didn't dare to look up at Concubine Shu, she just wanted to take the golden bead from Kang Yanning's hand.
Kang Yanning stood up and a few steps away from her, someone came over to stop the wet nurse from getting closer.
Kang Yanning picked up the beads, played with them in the sunshine a few times, and sighed, "I wonder why you are so calm. You don't look like someone who committed a crime and was caught. So I sent someone to search your house again."
Look, there must be something I've missed."
The bead shone with golden light in the sun, reflecting the beautiful brilliance. Kang Yanning was not admiring it, and threw the bead to the ground. The bead immediately broke into pieces, and a small square thing rolled out from it.
"Ah..." Concubine Shu suddenly fell to the ground, attracting everyone's attention.
Kang Yanning ignored her, smiled slightly, knelt down and picked up a small square with the word "Shu" written on it.
This nanny doesn't seem stupid. This is exactly what the second princess asked the nanny to ask for to save her life. I think with this thing, she can still get out even if she enters the Criminal Division.
Seeing the panic, but fortunately the imperial doctor was waiting nearby, Kang Yanning took a step back and looked at the farce in front of him.
It seems there will be another surprise today.
The imperial physician took a careful pulse and took a step forward with a fake smile on his face, "I am very pleased. Congratulations, Your Majesty, Concubine Shu is happy."
All the concubines were startled, with colorful faces on their faces.
Emperor Wei Chang was overjoyed when he got a son. Doesn't this prove that he is in good health?
Emperor Wei Chang's Sacred Heart was so happy that he seemed to have forgotten that it was this woman who wanted to harm his daughter just now. He immediately said, "Okay! Okay! Then take Concubine Shu to rest immediately."
His eyes moved to Kang Yanning, as if hesitating on how to explain.
Kang Yanning immediately stepped forward to congratulate her and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, Concubine Shu is very happy. When she gives birth to a dragon son in ten months of pregnancy, Yan Ning will go to congratulate her."
Seeing that Kang Yanning was so sensible, he couldn't get off the stage unless he was allowed to do so. Emperor Wei Chang's eyes were even more satisfied, "Okay! Bo Rong has raised a good daughter,"
He turned his gaze to the second princess, his eyes became gentler, and he said, "This palace maid colluded with the second princess's nanny to murder the emperor's heir. The nine tribes were exiled to Ning Guta."
"Yes." The eunuch beside Emperor Wei Chang said immediately.
"Okay, let's leave today," Emperor Wei Chang sent someone to send Concubine Shu back, and he followed Concubine Shu with a smile on his face.
Seeing that the second princess was looking a little down, Kang Yanning touched her head and asked softly, "What's wrong with the second princess?"
The second princess whispered, "Is it because the father has a new treasure? He doesn't want the orb. It's like he doesn't want the eldest princess."
Kang Yanning slowed down her voice and said comfortingly, "But Empress Xu Jieyu still cares about you. You see she is very worried about you."
As soon as the second princess raised her head, she saw Xu Jieyu looking at her with worried eyes. The second princess broke free from Kang Yanning's arms, ran over to Xu Jieyu, hugged Xu Jieyu's neck, and said in a milky voice, "Don't worry, princess."
, the orb will be fine."
Xu Jieyu responded dully, looked at each other with Kang Yanning, and nodded slightly to express her gratitude.
