Chapter 1071: Separate Inquiries
After leaving Liu Wanxi's dormitory, Han Xuening came to Zhang Zijuan's dormitory to understand the situation.
Seeing that the queen was coming, Zhang Zijuan was of course very polite, and she was a little scared in her heart, she knew very well that the queen came to assassinate Liu Wanxi for Li Jingrong.
"Concubine Zhang! I heard that on the day Li Jingrong assassinated Concubine Liu, she drank wine at your place? ”
Zhang Zijuan immediately defended: "That day, Miss Li Jingrong said that she wanted to drink, and I wanted to persuade her not to drink, but she repeatedly said that she wanted to have a few drinks with me, and she was not happy. I could only take out the wine, and I didn't expect her to get drunk and go back to Concubine Liu's bedroom to make trouble. ”
"This is not a trouble, this is an attempt to assassinate Concubine Liu and the little prince!"
Han Xuening suddenly increased her tone.
Liu Wanxi was so frightened that she hurriedly knelt down, "Empress, I really didn't know that she was drunk and did such a thing." Besides, I stopped her in the first place, and she pushed me away, and I was injured. ”
After speaking, Liu Wanxi rolled up her sleeves and showed Han Xuening the injury on her arm, indicating that she was pushed by Li Jingrong.
"I heard that you told Li Jingrong that Concubine Liu was talking bad about you and her behind your back?"
"Queen, I really didn't say anything about this, Li Jingrong heard it wrong. How can I speak ill of people behind my back? After Zhang Zijuan finished speaking, she looked at Li Jingrong, and then at Liu Mei, who was also kneeling, "Queen, if you don't believe it, ask my mother, every time Li Jingrong comes to me, my mother is there." Let my mother say, did I say bad things about Concubine Liu behind my back? ”
After speaking, Zhang Zijuan kept making eye gestures to Liu Mei.
Liu Mei knew that her daughter wanted her to say good things, she was such a daughter, if she didn't speak, the queen would definitely think that Zhang Zijuan was lying, and if the blame came down, Zhang Zijuan would not be able to eat and walk around.
Liu Mei immediately said: "Queen Mother, what Concubine Zhang said is right, she has never said anything bad about Concubine Liu in front of Miss Li Jingrong, besides, Concubine Zhang and Concubine Liu are cousins, everyone is a relative, how can a cousin say bad things about her cousin!" ”
Liu Mei said this, and Zhang Zijuan was relieved.
"I heard that the eunuchs and maids in your palace have been taken away?"
This happened half a month ago, and the maid and eunuch have not been released until now.
"The queen mother, it's all for Li Jingrong to assassinate Concubine Liu, after all, Li Jingrong is drinking wine in my house. Therefore, the eunuchs and maids in my house were all taken for questioning. It's been half a month, and it hasn't been released yet. ”
Zhang Zijuan said as she looked helpless.
"Okay, I'll find out about this. And Xiaocui, the maid in your dormitory, suddenly disappeared, what's going on? ”
Speaking of Xiaocui, Zhang Zijuan was even more scared.
"Queen, Xiaocui was sick at the beginning, and I saw that she was not lightly ill, so I gave her a few days off. The next day, I didn't see anyone else. I thought I was called by Concubine Liu. After all, Xiaocui used to be Concubine Liu's maid. So, I didn't ask much later. ”
Zhang Zijuan pushed things all the way up, so long as Liu Mei didn't make any flaws in her work, she couldn't find her head.
"Get up! I will find out all these things, I will not wronged a person, and I will not let go of a lawbreaker! ”
After Han Xuening finished speaking, she and Xiao Dong left directly.
It wasn't until Han Xuening walked far away that Zhang Zijuan stood up, and Liu Mei was still kneeling.
"Mother, get up quickly! The queen is gone! ”
After Liu Mei stood up, Zhang Zijuan asked again: "Mother, did you handle Xiaocui's matter properly?" ”
"Zijuan, don't worry, Xiaocui's matter is definitely handled properly, and no clue will find us." Liu Mei replied immediately.
"That's good! No matter who asks in the future, we will say that Li Jingrong is drunk, and we can't stop it, so we went to Liu Wanxi. Also, we never told Li Jingrong that Liu Wanxi was talking bad about her behind her back. In addition, Xiaocui's matter is according to what I just said. Zhang Zijuan began to tell Liu Mei to get up again.
After leaving Zhang Zijuan's dormitory, Han Xuening and Xiaodong came to the prison where the eunuchs were imprisoned to inquire about the situation, and later, they went to inquire about several maids in Zhang Zijuan's dormitory.
She basically knew the ins and outs of the matter.
"Boss, this Li Jingrong is too bold and reckless!" Xiao Dong said angrily.
"Let's go to Li Jingrong again and see what she has to say?"
The two went to the prison to find Li Jingrong again, Li Jingrong was locked up in the prison, her hair was messy like a bird's nest, and her clothes were so dirty that she couldn't see the original color. There is also a lot of foul smell everywhere on the body, which is more disgusting than those called Hanako.
Han Xuening and Xiao Dong were suddenly surprised, Li Jingrong was locked up in prison, how could she become like this?
She used to be an invincible eldest lady, but now she is like a crazy woman, and the stench is incomparable.
Han Xuening said to the cell leader: "Call a few female jailers, I want to wash Li Jingrong, treat her well tonight, and we will come back tomorrow." ”
"Yes! Empress! ”
After getting out of prison, Han Xuening said to Xiao Dong: "Let's go to Mr. Wen to understand the situation and see what Mr. Wen suggests." ”
After the two left the palace, they went to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
The cell boss got the queen's order, and immediately found three female jailers, and asked someone to bring three large jars of water, ready to give Li Jingrong a good wash.
In the past half a month, Li Jingrong has been detained in the prison, eating, drinking, and Lazar in it, can it not stink?
Tomorrow, the queen will come again, so they don't dare to be sloppy at all, let the queen see that Li Jingrong is still like this, and the prison is still dirty, then their brains will be lost.
It took three or four hours for several jailers to clean the prison where Li Jingrong was staying, sprinkled a lot of deodorizing potion, and sprinkled some flower water.
The whole prison is much cleaner, and I can't smell the stench of disgusting.
Just after giving Li Jingrong a bath and changing into clean clothes, a few jailers brought a table and a stool. I brought wine and a few nice appetizers.
"Li Jingrong, eat quickly! Today might be your last! ”
Just now, the queen came in person, and the queen meant to give Li Jingrong a sumptuous meal. Generally, prisoners who are to be sentenced to capital punishment will eat a good meal when they are dying, and they will be full of ghosts.
The cell boss thought that Li Jingrong was about to be executed, and this was her last meal.
Everyone knows that they will be afraid of death, even Li Jingrong, who is a little dazed.
"I want to see the emperor, I want to see the emperor! You go to inform the emperor, I want to see him! ”
"You stinky **, are you qualified to see the emperor? You are about to die, just now the queen came to order, give you the last severed meal. The old hair was furious.
"Han Xuening, this stinky woman, want to kill me? It's not that easy, I just don't eat the wine and food you brought, what can you do with me? ”
Li Jingrong knocked all the wine and food on the table to the ground at once.
However, the old man didn't dare to teach her a lesson, the queen would come tomorrow, in case the queen saw this ** with injuries all over her body and blamed him, it would be a big deal.
"Stinky **, spare you today, and when the queen leaves tomorrow, we will teach you a lesson!"
