The Imperial Concubine's complexion changed when she heard this. He turned around and looked at the palace maid, his eyes flashing with warning.
"What did you say?" Didn't you just say that it's Baili Jinxiu? "
The palace maid shook her head in panic and explained submissively: "This servant, this servant was talking about the person behind Miss …"
Behind Baili Jinxiu stood... Li Meier who was planning to leave quietly.
When everyone heard the palace maid's words, they all hastily retreated. And Li Meier, who was originally bent over and ready to leave, was just revealed like that in front of everyone's eyes.
Panic flashed across Li Meier's face as she shouted with a wave of her hand: "It's not me, how could it be me? This palace maid is lying, I really didn't do it in Noble Consort. She's lying. "
The Imperial Concubine looked at Li Meier with disgust in her eyes. Was this fool planning to admit defeat?
Imperial Concubine looked at Baili Jinxiu who was smiling, and only felt that Baili Jinxiu was making a joke of himself.
"Enough." The imperial concubine looked at Li Meier angrily as she glared at him, signalling for him to shut up. She turned around and calmly looked at the palace maid as she asked in a low voice.
"I will ask you one last time, you'd better tell me honestly. Was it the person Sixth Prince pointed at just now, or this Li Meier? "
The warning look in his eyes was sharp, and even Baili Jinxiu couldn't help but laugh.
Emperor could not help but ask curiously when he saw that Baili Jinxiu could still smile, as if the things that the imperial concubine was trying to force him to ask about had nothing to do with him.
"Baili Jinxiu, what are you laughing at?"
When Baili Jinxiu saw that he had attracted the attention of the Emperor, he finally let out a sigh of relief.
If the imperial concubine were to continue with her question, this palace maid might end up pointing at her with her head unclear.
After today's matter, no matter who did it, she did not plan to take the blame for anyone. Thus, after attracting Emperor's attention, Baili Jinxiu spoke without hesitation.
"This subject is smiling, this palace maid is truly bold. She actually dared to take the lives of others just for some silver. Now, she needed to tell him who the murderer was in order to make up for her mistake.
With Lord Shuntian Prefect here, he will definitely act impartially. If she continued to stutter and refuse to tell the truth. This subject is really sad for the family of this palace maid.
You must know, committing a crime in this palace is already a huge crime. If you continue to speak nonsense, you will be offending your family. "
"Your servant said that your servant would never dare to lie." It was this Miss who gave me the silver. She said she was going to teach someone a lesson later and let me hide in the water.
As long as I'm willing to drag those who fell into the water into the pond, if I can drown them, I will be given a hundred taels of silver. This servant knew how to swim, and she was also very familiar with this pond.
He knew that he could travel from another place without being discovered. This servant did not expect that when others fell, they would only think to earn more silver, and would only be caught by this Miss.
This servant would never dare to do it again, never again. I beg Emperor to spare my life … "
The palace maid cried as she spoke, continuously kowtowing on the ground and begging for forgiveness.
On the other hand, Li Meier's legs went weak, and she looked towards the imperial concubine with a pleading look for help. The Imperial Concubine turned her face away, looking at the palace maid with a dark expression.
What made the imperial concubine even more infuriated was that Baili Jinxiu's few quick and clever words actually scared this damned palace maid to the point of making her say such words.
Originally, this was a good excuse for Baili Jin to be punished. It's all Li Mei Er's fault. She didn't even have a chance to find a maid.
Emperor's face revealed an expression of rage. Listening to the palace maid's words, he felt that it was extremely ridiculous. His eyes darkened as he looked at Li Meier and shouted in a low voice.
"Where's the Prince Dongyang?"
"This subject... This official is here. " Prince Dongyang's originally straight waist was bent directly towards her.
A look of panic appeared on his face. The thing that frightened him the most had actually happened.
His daughter had actually done such a thing. This was the imperial palace!
Even if this idiot wanted to deal with Baili Jinxiu, he can't do it in the palace.
It was just that now that Baili Jinxiu had captured someone and looted their property, even if he wanted to quibble, he would not have the chance to.
The Emperor looked at him with ill intent and shouted, "Is this the home tutor from your Prince Dongyang Palace? "You actually dare to let your daughter behave so wantonly in the palace, what do you take my palace to be?"
Prince Dongyang's face revealed a look of panic, he knelt down and kowtowed, then shouted: "This official absolutely does not dare."
Li Meier also did not expect that Noble Consort would actually ask that palace maid like that.
As long as the palace maid was scared by the Noble Consort and said that Baili Jinxiu gave her money.
Then Baili Jinxiu should forget about leaving the palace today, why did he become like this.
She knelt on the ground with a thump, and crawled towards Gong Xiaoxuan. She wanted to grab hold of Gong Xiaoxuan's clothes, but was mercilessly dodged by Gong Xiaoxuan.
Gong Xiaoxuan grabbed onto Baili Jinxiu with one hand and pulled Baili Jinxiu who was watching with relish, away from him too, causing him to be unable to touch Baili Jinxiu.
Li Meier's hand hit nothing but air, and her entire body fell to the ground.
When she raised her head and saw Gong Xiaoxuan holding Baili Jinxiu's hand, her eyes revealed a look of despair.
"Prince An, this subject really does not have a daughter. I did not do it intentionally, it was this palace maid, no, it was Baili Jinxiu who harmed me … "
She was unwilling. She definitely could not allow herself to be punished like this.
The one who should be punished should be Baili Jinxiu. Right, it must be Baili Jinxiu who gets punished.
Li Meier turned her head, looked at the imperial concubine and shouted: "Noble Consort, you have to save me ah. It's not me, it's really not me.
It was Baili Jinxiu who harmed me, it was her who harmed me. It was only when she and her brother quarreled that her brother fell into the water.
I was innocent from beginning to end, Your Highness, you know, I'm not that kind of person. "Hurry up and save me …"
Others thought that Li Meier's words were ridiculous. But the imperial concubine's face darkened, Li Meier actually dared to threaten her?
Li Meier shouted without a care, "Empress, you know everything about me. I wouldn't do that, would I, would I? "
Looking at the weird expressions on the faces of the imperial concubine and Li Meier, Baili Jinxiu was secretly pleased.
Was this considered lifting a rock to smash one's own foot?
Imperial Concubine allowed Li Meier to use her life to frame her, but now she was threatened by Li Meier. It truly was the reincarnation of the Heavenly Dao.
"Empress, say something." Li Meier leaped towards the feet of the imperial concubine, hugging her tightly as she shouted.
