"You said that Miss Ye is in contact with the guards, but you can't recognize which guards. Could it be that you are delusional, or do you want to frame Miss Ye?" Fourteen said.

"I don't dare, Miss Ye doesn't know me at all, so how could I frame her?" Lian'er wiped her tears, "It's just that I can't rest all night after I know this."

Ye Sijin yelled fourteen, and whispered a few words in her ear.

Fourteen then called Fang Ruyi and took her out together.

"Master Fourteen, you must help my cousin." Fang Ruyi's eyes were red, "She is innocent, and I went to pick her up that night."

"Don't worry, the matter will definitely be investigated." Fourteen took out his purse, "Now we need to know how that purse was obtained by that maid."

Fang Ruyi said, "I gave it to my cousin. She has always carried it with me. I made a new one for her last month. She put it in the box and never wore it. It must have been stolen by the court lady."

"The residence of the female officer is guarded. Without a badge, you are not allowed to come and go at will. Lian'er is a member of Zhongjing Palace, and she can't enter the female officer's residence. I think she can't get it." Fourteen said. "Do you have other purses with similar patterns like this, with words embroidered on the bottom."

"Yes, I have the same one, except that it has square characters underneath." Fang Ruyi said, "Do you need it, Mr. Fourteen?"

"The empress said she wanted to try Lian'er." Fourteen said.

When I took the purse, I happened to meet Yiliu, and Yiliu just told Shishi about Lianer's life background, and asked Shishi to report it to Ye Sijin. As for who he had been in contact with, he needed to check again.

Lian Er's family was poor, and she was sent to the palace by her uncle and aunt when she was ten years old. She has been transferred to Zhongjing Palace to be a sweeping maid last year until now.

Ye Sijin winked at Fourteen, and Fourteen held up the purse that had been changed to Lian Er, "After you picked up this purse, can you show it to others? Have you told others about it."

"My servant dare not let others know." Lian Er shook her head, "I always carry my purse with me."

"You wear it next to your body even when you sleep?"

Lian Er said, "Yes, the servant was afraid of being seen, so she secretly told Lady Ye that she would definitely not let the servant go."

"Nonsense." Ye Qiao was very annoyed, how could there be such a shameless person.

Fourteen said, "I'll question you one last time, is this purse the one you picked up?"

Lian'er took the purse from Fourteen's hands, saw that the pattern was the same, and there was a word underneath, then nodded, "It's the purse picked up by the slave."

"Then you recognized the word Qiao written on it, and you thought it was Lady Ye Qiaoye?" Fourteen said.

"Yes." Lian Er said.

Fourteen said, "I heard that your family is poor and you have never read a book before entering the palace, so how did you know how to read?"

"I used to know a lady-in-waiting elder sister, she could read a few words, and the servants learned it later." Lian'er said.

"Then do you know that the palace rules stipulate that court ladies are not allowed to read and write, so you are breaking the palace rules." Fourteen said.

Lian Er said, "I know I was wrong, I will never dare again."

"Where is the court lady who taught you how to read?"

"The elder sister of the court lady has already left the palace when she is old. It's been a long time. The servant only remembers that she is called Xiaodie, and doesn't know anything else." Lian Er explained.

"Then that is to say, after you picked up the purse, you went back and saw clearly that the word Qiao was written on it, and then you went to find out that only Lady Ye had the word Qiao in the name of the female officers, so you decided that it was Lady Ye who had a private meeting with the guards that night? Fourteen said, "Am I right?"

"Yes, indeed." Lian Er said.

"Then take a closer look at what is written under the purse in your hand?" Shisi had already determined that she could not read at all, and it was already obvious.

Lian'er held the purse, and looked at the words at the bottom several times, "It's Qiao."

Shisi took out the purse from her hand, "Empress Empress, this Lian'er is lying."

"No maidservant." Lian Er said, "everything my maidservant said is true."

"This purse clearly says Fang." Fang Ruyi said, "You still say it's Qiao."

"I didn't see it clearly for a while." Lian Er hurriedly argued that she didn't know how to read at all, but the workmanship, material and pattern of the purse are the same, and the word Qiao under the purse has been recognized for a long time, but she got it It feels different from the previous words, but I can't tell where the difference is. Besides, I can't find two identical purses in such a short period of time. Next to it, there is Fourteen constantly pressing, and the empress sits on it. Make her panic.She could only assume that the word Qiao was underneath.

"You haven't seen it clearly after reading it for so long?" Fourteen said, "Since you said you know Qiao's characters, you can write them."

Fang Ruyi was glad that she had made two identical purses back then, one was kept for herself and the other was given to her cousin. Now this purse can also prove her innocence, which is a good thing.

"My servant mistakenly admitted the purse, but what happened that night was indeed witnessed by my servant. Empress, please trust my servant," Lian Er said.

Ye Sijin said, "You lied to Ben Gong so much, accusing Fang as Qiao, with so many mistakes and omissions, how can Ben Gong believe that maybe you stole this purse."

"No servant." Lian Er said, "Slave."

Ye Sijin waved her hand, "Fourteen, take her down and interrogate her carefully, let her tell the truth."

"Yes, Empress Dowager." There are inevitably some restrictions in the palace, but in private, there are endless ways for the secret guards to interrogate people, and within three days, everything can be found out.

"Thank you, empress." Ye Qiao and Fang Ruyi both knelt down and kowtowed.

Ye Sijin waved them up and said, "I trust your character, so I believe you will not do this. As for why Lian Er framed you, this matter has not yet been investigated, and you need to investigate it yourself." Let's find out how the purse was lost, and it must not happen again next time."

"Your servant, please remember." Ye Qiao said.

Ye Qiao and Fang Ruyi left Fengjin Palace, Fang Ruyi couldn't help crying while hugging Ye Qiao.

"It's okay." Ye Qiao patted Fang Ruyi on the back. "If you have anything to say, go back and talk."

There are many people in the palace with mixed eyes, this is not a place to talk.

Fang Ruyi returned to Ye Qiao's residence, and started sobbing again, "Fortunately, the empress trusts you cousin, so she helped you out. If the empress did not trust her cousin, and she was really framed by that court lady, it would be hard to argue."

"Yes." From the very beginning, it could be seen that the empress was on her side, and Ye Qiao also heaved a sigh of relief.

"Cousin, you have always been friendly with others in the palace, who on earth is so cruel to frame you." Fang Ruyi began to feel aggrieved again.

"We'll have to wait for the [-]th adults to question me about this matter." Ye Qiao also couldn't figure it out.
