Chapter 143 - uncovering the identity of the mastermind
When Yun Qin returned to the Prince Mansion, he was extremely furious.
If no one had done anything to her graft, she would not have been called into the palace, nor would she have been called into the palace, nor would anything dangerous have happened yesterday.
It was unknown who he had offended, but he dared to harm her in secret.
Arriving at the Hearing Snow Pavilion, Yun Qin called over the people in the courtyard and asked: "Have you guys seen anyone who entered the Ice Pavilion a few days ago?"
The servants all shook their heads. Yu Er asked in puzzlement: "Princess, what's going on?"
"I suspect that the Princess's graft was caused by someone from the Palace." Yun Qin said in a heavy voice.
"It can't be someone from our courtyard, right?" Yu Er's eyes slightly opened, there were actually so many people who dared to sneakily enter the pavilion, under the watchful eyes of so many people, it was simply too arrogant.
Before there was no conclusive evidence or suspicious person, everyone was suspicious, so Yun Qin was not sure if there was a spy in the courtyard.
At that time, the servant girl Fu Xue opened her mouth and said: "Princess, two days ago, this servant encountered a servant girl who was sneaking around. That servant girl said that she is from the Moon Stealing Hall and called …." It's called welcoming spring! "
"Spring Festival?" Yun Qin raised her eyebrows, and asked Yu Er to call the butler over.
Yun Qin asked the butler about Yingchun's situation, and the butler replied with a clasp of his hands, "Reporting to Princess, Yingchun is a newly arrived maidservant from the Moon Seizing Tower.
As expected, it was Situ Yuanwan's fault again. It was as if she couldn't bear to watch her lead a comfortable life.
"Butler, send someone to call out Yingchun and find a way to control her. Then, get some people to follow me to the Moon Harvester." Yun Qin instructed, only by controlling Spring Festival, would she be able to find the evidence.
At the Moon Seizer Pavilion, a servant called for Yingchun: "Yingchun, the butler asked you to come out for a while, he said that he has something to ask you."
Yingchun put down the watering can in her hand and said, "I'll be right there."
Situ Yuanwan was playing the zither in the courtyard, and Aunt Xi was teaching him, "It's always good to practice these without any business, because the prince might come at any time, so we have to be at our best at any time, understand?"
Situ Yuanwan nodded and continued to play the zither in her hand. She raised her head and saw Yun Qin and a group of people walking in through the main entrance. She stopped what she was doing and looked up at Yun Qin with disdain.
"You can't come to the Three Treasures Palace for no reason. Princess's graft was destroyed, and someone said that a maid in your room snuck into the pavilion. That's why I'm searching for her now." Yun Qin explained, and then, she waved her hand, signaling the subordinate to look for him.
"Wait." Situ Yuanwan's lips curved into a cold smile, "Could it be that it's not your own problem? You want to frame me? If there is no conclusive evidence, does Princess have to apologize for his actions? " Heh, so what if she was seen, it was just the destruction of a graft, if she did not capture him on the spot, what evidence could she, Yun Qin, take out?
"Search." Yun Qin said as she opened her mouth to speak. Prince Mansion rushed in and Situ Yuanwan watched the scene coldly.
In less than half an incense worth of time, someone brought out a white bag and passed it to Yun Qin: "Princess, I found it."
Situ Yuanwan frowned, she looked at the bag, and did not understand what was inside.
Yun Qin opened her bag and took out the golden threads from inside, "This, how do you explain this? The golden line on the Princess graft is gone, I can guess that someone had a bad premonition. They really have some guts to actually have the guts to set their sights on the Princess's graft. "
Situ Yuanwan's face became ugly, she did not expect that the stupid thing, Yingchun, would trap her to such an extent. She was only going to let her destroy the graft, but she actually had a bad feeling about the golden threads.
Aunt Xi, on the other hand, had an ugly look on her face. After all, she was one of the people she had brought over, but she hadn't expected that something like this would happen.
"How can we prove that these golden threads were made by the maidservants in my courtyard!" Situ Yuanwan said, he was obviously prepared to not admit it.
Yun Qin had already anticipated this a long time ago, and her oculi flashed with a bright light.
She knew that she still had a chance to live as long as she did not admit it, so she kept shaking her head, "This servant was wronged, not this servant, not this servant. Master, please save this servant!"
Seeing that she was not admitting it at all, Yun Qin walked over and lifted her hand. He saw that there were some small indentations on the two sides of her fingernails, Yun Qin said: "The golden threads on the graft are extremely difficult to break, but there are small indentations on the two sides of Yingchun's fingernails, if this is not enough to prove that it's her, Fu Xue, come over here."
A servant came in from outside and asked: "Look, isn't that the person you met at the pavilion that day?"
Fu Xue looked at Xi Chun for a bit before nodding her head and saying: "Princess, it's her. Because she has a red mole on the corner of her mouth, this servant has some impression of her."
Yun Qin looked at Situ Yuanwan. "I wonder if esteemed wangfei has anything else to say?"
Situ Yuanwan looked angrily at Xi Chun who was on the ground. Aunt Xi, who was by his side, had already rushed forward and slapped Xi Chun hard twice, "You little b * tch, why didn't you serve the Empress properly and do such a dishonorable thing? I'll teach you a lesson! "
"Clap clap!" Another two crisp slaps landed.
Yingchun's eyes were red from crying. "Please spare my life, Aunt. This servant knows my wrongs!" She cried until her tears and snot mixed together, and a few red finger marks appeared on her white face.
"Stop." Yun Qin called for her to stop, "I will punish her, there is no need for you to take charge. Sentences, twenty times in Spring Festival, expel the servants. As for the secondary concubines, they are ill-disciplined. If you don't have a good memory due to the punishments, your servants might have to do something stupid in the future! I shall punish you with half a month's worth of silver taels.
Situ Yuanwan's eyes darkened, looking at the little girl on the ground, she wanted to rush up and slap her two hands, idiot! On the surface, however, she still had to agree, "Princess did indeed punish me well."
Yun Qin turned around and led the people to leave, and told them to drag Yingchun away as well. If she stayed in the Moon Seizer Tower, Situ Yuanwan would hate to eat her alive.
After Yun Qin left, Situ Yuanwan looked at Aunt Xi coldly. "A good servant you taught!"
Aunt Xi bowed her head. She never thought that this Princess looked like someone with no brains at all. She never thought that she would retaliate in such a manner! The welcoming spring was randomly chosen from within the palace before she left. She didn't know her personality.
"It's my fault, it's all because of that stupid girl, Yingchun. We will return the humiliation we suffered today one by one to her. After all, this servant is someone who has served the Concubine. There is nothing that this servant doesn't know about the concubine methods of the imperial harem. " Aunt Xi comforted her.
Situ Yuanwan snorted, and got up to enter the house.
