C124 Interrogating Palace Maids

At that time, Consort Long entered the side hall surrounded by people. Consort Long's means were brilliant. Not long ago, she obtained the right to cooperate with the six palaces. Tonight was the annual banquet. The one who died was only a servant. When her aunt went, she met Consort Long. Hence, she did not disturb the Emperor's three big shots.

"Paying respects to Consort Long." Seeing the person kneeling down, Mu Ruqing moved. Her voice was loud enough, why did she not have such an imposing manner when she saw me?

"What happened? Why is it so noisy?" Consort Long's noble aura and sharp aura pressured everyone until they could not catch their breath. Mu Ruqing was calm and composed. When she came, it would be twice the result with half the effort.

"I beg Consort Long to help me!" Mu Ruqing kowtowed and did not care how close Consort Long was to her. The attitude of begging was always taken out, "I was fortunate enough to be summoned to the Palace to attend the annual banquet and do not know what I did wrong. The evil person actually dared to harm my personal servant girl! Letting her age like a flower go early, one does not know how long it will take. Will I also go with Mei... Wu Wu... "

Consort Long's face was full of heartache as she went up to help Mu Ruqing up," You are Princess Chu, what are you saying? This is the Imperial Palace and there is the Emperor and Empress who will make the decision for you. Now that they are not in a good position, this Palace will make the decision for you! "

The words were sonorous and forceful. Everyone looked at each other and their eyes were filled with worry and uneasiness. In the high palace walls, even if you are not the one who harmed them, they might not be able to rest in peace. Perhaps in a certain detail, you were the one who killed him... No one wants to know whether it was you or not. It all depends on the expression of the person with the highest authority. They thought whoever they thought was the person.

"Imperial Physician, why did you get poisoned?" Consort Long patted Mu Ruqing's slightly trembling shoulder and sternly scolded the Imperial Physician.

The Imperial Physician's face was almost touching the ground. He was afraid of Mu Ruqing's imposing manner but no matter what, he could not decide his life or death. Consort Long was different. Just one sentence was enough to make his head fall to the ground!

"Your Ladyship, just now this official checked where Mei is sitting. He found that there was a crack on the chair and a few wooden spikes were erected. The red crane tip was smeared on it and there was a needle hole on the girl's finger. It must have entered through the wound. " The Imperial Physician was in fear and trepidation. He looked up and tested Consort Long's expression. The corner of Consort Long's mouth was lowered and her brows were raised. The warning in her eyes was clear.

"Aunt!" Consort Long shouted angrily. Aunt did not dare to straighten her waist and went forward to kneel and greet. "Your Ladyship."

"You are in charge of the arrangements here. Why did you make such a mistake? " Consort Long walked in front of her and her aura was so oppressive that she could not catch her breath.

"Your Ladyship, the palace maids have already been escorted." Aunt turned around to signal and the palace maids were brought up. With a face full of grief, when she was thrown down, her entire body was lying on the ground. Struggling for a moment, only then did she manage to support her paralyzed body.

Her arms could not stop trembling and there were tears of grievance in her eyes, "This servant... This servant greets Your Ladyship. This servant is responsible for the tables and chairs in the hall. It was just that it was not like this when they were carried over! Your Ladyship... Your Ladyship, you have to believe this servant! " The palace maid grabbed hold of Consort Long's life-saving straw and wanted to pull her skirt.

Consort Long took a step back without leaving a trace and walked a few steps around the palace maid before standing beside her," Then tell Bengong, who destroyed this chair? !"

"This servant... This servant..." The palace maid raised her head to look around the surrounding people and searched twice. Only then did she see that the person who could help her quickly pointed at the person who was looking forward to retreating. "Your Ladyship, she! It was that servant girl. She kept looking at the chair beside her. This servant saw that her actions were strange and even went forward to inquire! It must be her!"

Consort Long and Mu Ruqing followed the direction she pointed and saw a servant girl who was dodging towards the back. Consort Long gave an order," Someone come and take her down! "

Everyone panicked again and just as servant girl was about to exit the hall, servant girl knew that begging for mercy was useless so she pretended that it had nothing to do with her. "This servant only stood by the side of the chair for a while. Was this servant the one who did it? Could it be that Your Ladyship and the wangfei were so casually convicted?"

"Impudent! How can you blame Your Ladyship! " The palace maid beside Consort Long, Yuchuan, took a step forward and angrily scolded.

"Shut up." Consort Long's tone carried blame as she gave Yuchuan a look. Dissatisfied, she looked at the kneeling palace maid and spoke in a sarcastic tone. "Isn't this Imperial Concubine Eldest Prince's personal palace maid? As the saying goes, whatever kind of mistress there is, there will be servants. Even a servant dares to be disrespectful to Bengong. I wonder if Imperial Concubine Eldest Prince is becoming more and more powerful! Yuchuan, slap! "

Yuchuan is Consort Long's personal palace maid. Just now, she wanted to hit that palace maid but was stopped. Now... Hehe, look at how arrogant you are.

"Pa! Pa!"

Along with the loud slapping sound, there was also the occasional complaint from the palace maid, "I am... Imperial Concubine's palace maid... We are of the same grade, what right do you have to slap... me..."

"Haha, the same grade? I am afraid that you will dishonor my identity." Yukawa is full of disdain. The more you attack, the heavier your attack. If you can still speak like this, then I'm afraid that my attack is a bit light.

Everyone looked but no one dared to stop them, including the other palace maid who served Mu Ruxuan. When Consort Long and Mu Ruqing were not paying attention, she bent her body and ran out of the door.

Consort Long saw that Yuchuan hit her comfortably and did not stop her. That palace maid's face was red and swollen and there were countless finger marks on it. The palace maid was beaten until she was dizzy and could not see the scene in front of her clearly.

"Pa!" Another heavy slap and the palace maid's head was hit to the side. Following which, blood flowed out from the corner of her mouth and splashed onto the clothes of servant girl who was closest to her. servant girl cried out in shock and saw Consort Long's dissatisfied expression. Immediately, she shut her mouth and lowered her head to back away, showing a very humble appearance.

Only then, Consort Long was slightly satisfied and waved her hand, "Yuchuan, forget it. Bengong only treated it as a bite from a dog!"

Consort Long's words actually also scolded Mu Ruxuan. When Mistress is not around, in front of all the servants, this servant can represent Mistress. Those present were not fools and could hear the implied meaning.

Servant girl was both shocked and afraid in her heart. Luckily it was not me who was beaten up...

Consort Long looked at Mu Ruqing and turned to look at the kneeling palace maid, "Bengong will ask you one more time, are you going to confess or not?"

The palace maid laid on the ground and could not get up as she moved her arm. Lightly raising her head, her blood-red eyes stared at Consort Long with hatred. She was originally the one the Empress pointed out to Mu Ruxuan. When did she get beaten up like this? The Empress and Consort Long were like fire and water, how could she lower her head like her now? She forcefully shook her head.

You have a backbone, Mu Ruqing thought for a few times and stared at Consort Long who was standing in front of her for a long time before lowering her gaze.

"Then why did you feel guilty just now? Why did you run?" Yuchuan knew what Consort Long was thinking, so she nodded and asked in her place.

"Your Ladyship, it must be her!" The one who spoke was the person, it was the palace maid arranged by her aunt to place the table. If she did not place the crime on the palace maid of Imperial Concubine Eldest Prince, then her life would not be guaranteed.

"The witnesses and evidence are here! What else do you have to say?" Once Consort Long spoke, the matter was already set in stone.

Another wave of people came from the hall door and Mu Ruxuan was supported by a palace maid who was accompanied by Mu Ruxuan. When she saw Consort Long, she first gave a bow, "This servant greets Consort Long."

Consort Long did not speak and casually swept her a glance. Mu Ruqing could not hold it in and directly walked forward to interrogate, "Imperial Concubine, you and I were originally sisters but why did you harm me, servant girl?!"
