Chapter 156 Liu Ruyan was sold out completely
Shen Zhinian waited for her to continue.
Xun You continued, "That's because the red flower was brought into the palace on the day the young lady entered. She wrapped it up and hid it in her hair."
"The guards in charge of the inspection only dared to check the luggage. Even if they had a hundred guts, they would not dare to touch the concubines. Therefore, this matter was kept secret."
Hearing this, Shen Zhinian couldn't help but exclaim!
In her previous life, she was worthy of being a virtuous concubine. Liu Ruyan’s methods are indeed superb!
It’s a pity... that I met her in this life.
Xun You asked, "Can this prove my sincerity and make Lady Rou believe that I am truly committed to you?"
"No hurries?"
Before leaving, Shen Zhinian had told Xiao Zhouzi to bring paper and pen with him. He was protecting Shen Zhinian's safety while writing furiously.
At this moment, Xiao Zhouzi picked up the paper, blew the ink off it and handed it to Xunyou, and then took out a piece of red clay from his arms: "Miss Xunyou, I have written down your testimony. Take a look, if there is no problem, please sign and seal it."
Xun You was stunned.
Of course, she had to leave herself a few more ways to escape, so all the things she revealed were just words. In the end, Concubine Ruorou was no match for the young lady, but she was still her loyal maid.
But with the signature and the written evidence, her life and death can only be tied to Concubine Rou...
Lady Rou is indeed cautious in her actions!
Shen Zhinian did not urge him, but just looked at Xunyou with a smile, which gave people an invisible sense of oppression.
Xun You took a deep breath, finally made up his mind, stood up and said: "...Okay!"
Since the day of the talent show, has the young lady ever gotten away with anything in her clashes with Noble Lady Rou?
Compared with the two of them, Concubine Rou is more likely to win.
Seeing Xunyou signing her name and fingerprint on the testimony, Shen Zhinian basically believed that she was really defecting, and asked directly: "Is Liu Ruyan's pregnancy true or false?"
Xunyou's body trembled, and the brush in his hand fell to the ground. He raised his head and looked at Shen Zhinian in surprise.
Lady Rou even knew about this? !
But the young lady was still unaware of this and even thought she had a sure win.
Xunyou simply couldn't imagine what would happen if she hadn't surrendered to Concubine Rou, but had followed the young lady all the way to the end...
She unconsciously became more respectful towards Shen Zhinian. She took a deep breath and said, "My lady is not pregnant. She took the secret medicine given by the Queen, and then she showed signs of pregnancy. Once she eats the food that promotes blood circulation, her period will come, just like a miscarriage!"
A hint of surprise flashed across Shen Zhinian's mind.
I didn’t expect that Tang Luochuan really guessed it right.
No, it’s not so much a guess as it is that he is very meticulous and can discover clues and infer the truth.
Since he had already betrayed his master, Xun You didn't mind selling out Liu Ruyan even more thoroughly: "My lady plans to take action during the palace banquet on New Year's Eve and put the blame of the 'miscarriage' on you, my noble lady!"
"You have murdered the heir to the throne in public, and the evidence is irrefutable. Even if His Majesty loves you, you will surely die!"
Little Zhouzi couldn't help but said angrily: "This noble lady Liu is so vicious!"
Even though Shen Zhinian had always been on guard against Liu Ruyan, he couldn't help but feel a little frightened at this moment.
Fortunately, she had seen through all the other party's plans. In this case, she would use the opponent's trick to make Liu Ruyan dig her own grave!
It just so happens that she can use this incident to make Nangong Xuanyu's feelings towards her change qualitatively! Make him remember him forever!
Shen Zhinian put away the plot in his mind and asked again: "Is it really Meng who killed Chen Da Ying?"
Xunyou's body suddenly stiffened, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes...
She never imagined that Concubine Rou had even noticed this matter!
"Lady Rou, you...you said that no matter what, you would...you would save my life..."
Seeing Xunyou's reaction, Shen Zhinian had the answer in his mind: "Of course. But the premise is that you have to be honest with me and not hide anything."
Xun You knelt down again: "That day, my lady and I were returning to Yilan Pavilion from Yangxin Palace. When we passed by the rockery next to Jingye Pond, Chen Da Ying overheard our plan by accident. She said she was going to report it to the Imperial Concubine..."
"Although I was the one who killed him, I was following the young master's orders!"
A hint of "as expected" flashed across Shen Zhinian's eyes: "Get up. It was clearly Liu Ruyan who murdered to silence the witnesses, and you failed to dissuade her. You couldn't sleep or eat well, so you took the initiative to confess the matter."
It is a pleasure to talk to a smart person. Xun You nodded and said, "Mr. Rou is absolutely right!"
"Then Xiao Beizi, who led me to Jingye Pond, and Huier, who accused Meng Ying, are both Liu Ruyan's people?"
"Yes, they are the hidden chess pieces that Taipin left for the Liu family."
"Is there any evidence?"
Xun You said, "My dear Huirou, Nanny Liu, who used to serve the imperial concubine, is now living in Zhongzhou."
"She is loyal to the imperial concubine, and logically she would rather die than betray the young lady. But Aunt Liu had a son in her old age, and she treasures him very much. As long as she is caught, Aunt Liu will definitely obey her!"
Shen Zhinian asked again: "How many hidden chess pieces does Liu Ruyan have left for her by Concubine Liu?"
"There is only one left, and that is the mute woman in the imperial kitchen."
"besides……"
After asking almost all the questions that needed to be asked, Shen Zhinian said, "Go back and continue to lurk around Liu Ruyan. If she makes any move, inform Fuqiu in time."
"Yes."
It was dark at some point. Shen Zhinian said, "You came out to get dinner for Yilan Pavilion, but the imperial kitchen is closed now. You were out for so long and came back empty-handed. Aren't you afraid that Liu Ruyan will suspect you?"
Xun Youchong's eyes flickered with a dark light: "If I don't even have this ability, the young master won't use me. Isn't it?"
Shen Zhinian smiled and said, "You are right, go ahead."
"Slave, please leave!"
After walking out of the Imperial Garden, Xunyou first slapped herself hard on the face a few times, then messed up her hair, and then walked towards Yilan Pavilion angrily, with murderous intent that could not be concealed in her eyes!
"Xunyou, why did you go so far..."
Liu Ruyan was full of doubts. When her inquiring eyes fell on Xunyou, she was suddenly stunned: "What's going on?"
Xun You narrowed her eyes and said viciously, "Those servants in the imperial kitchen who flatter the powerful and bully the weak, just because they see that the young master has lost power, they usually withhold our food. But today, when I went to get dinner, not only did they make things difficult for us, they also said... and said..."
Liu Ruyan asked in a deep voice: "What else?"
"And you said... the young lady has long been rejected by His Majesty. Even if she can give birth to the royal heir in her belly, it will just be a child rejected by His Majesty. Why are we putting on airs..."
