Chapter 238 I beg the concubine Jin to spare her life!

Zhao Lu took a breath, stood up with her usual complexion, knelt down, kowtowed, straightened up and replied neither humble nor humble:
"Returning to the Queen Mother, the concubine has never done this, so the concubine has nothing to say."

"Empress Dowager, my concubine requests to search for Meiren Zhao's residence again."

"There are a lot of these poisonous weeds, so it's not easy to store them. The concubine's box was used to store jewelry, but now it's replaced with a box for poisonous weeds. Maybe it's not necessarily that the concubine's jewelry box is in Zhao Meiren's place."

Zhou Wanying asked with red eyes.

She had already been slapped by Zhao Mei, half of her delicate cheeks were swollen, but now her eyes are red and she can't tear herself apart, I feel pity for her.

Queen Mother: "What do you think, Your Majesty?"

"I listen to my mother." Yan Xiu's expression remained unchanged.

Queen Mother:  …

She is so tired, she shouldn't take this job, after the matter is over, she will discuss with the emperor, and find a few talented people to share the power of managing the harem.

Why not just one person?

The Empress Dowager knew very well that Concubine Jin would be the one to choose, and she didn't want Concubine Jin to dominate the harem, so naturally she would not do this kind of behavior of giving her a pillow when she fell asleep.

"Shen Jing, go again." The queen mother waved her hand.

"Empress Dowager, let the concubine go." Concubine De got up and said, "The concubine knows better what kind of box it is, so it's easier to find it."

"Go." The Queen Mother didn't care much.

Just checked it all, what else can I find out?Although Zhao Meiren didn't know much about her, she had been in the palace for several months, but nothing happened.

She likes such a peaceful concubine.

But just like what Zhou Jieyu said, the more honest a person is, the more he is bullied, and he will not consider the consequences when he takes revenge.

I don't know if I can actually find the evidence.

Li Yu'er observed Zhao Lu who was kneeling on the ground, and always felt that this person had the word "Buddha" all over her body, as if she didn't care whether she would be framed or not.

She asked curiously, "Aren't you afraid?"

Li Yu'er didn't speak for a long time, and when her soft voice sounded, everyone in the hall was startled, and then looked at Li Yu'er, wondering who she was talking to.

"Not afraid." Zhao Lu was the one who reacted the fastest, because she had just noticed that Li Yu'er was looking at her.

Out of curiosity, she looked back, and she met Li Yu'er's gaze.

"That's right, those who plan strategies and are open-minded will not be afraid." Li Yu'er said with a smile, she glanced at everyone with deep meaning, paused on Han Yiqing's face, then retracted it as if nothing had happened, and finally continued to look at Zhao Lu .

Han Yiqing's eyelashes trembled slightly, as if she didn't hear Li Yu'er's voice.

"I don't know what kind you are?"

"Concubines are naturally the latter type." Zhao Lu replied softly.

"Okay." Li Yu'er bent her pretty eyes, "I believe you."

Zhao Lu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and respectfully kowtowed to the place where Li Yu'er was sitting: "That concubine, thank you first, Concubine Jin."

"Well, go back and sit down." Li Yu'er said casually.

Zhao Lu looked at the Queen Mother.

"Everyone get up and sit down, guilty or not, it won't be too late to decide when there is evidence." The queen mother said lightly.

"Concubine, thank you, Empress Dowager, and thank you, Your Majesty."

After Zhao Lu kowtowed, she stood up with the hand of Ruyi who was kneeling beside her.

She staggered a bit when she got up, but luckily Ruyi knew that her knee was still injured, so she paid special attention so that she didn't lose her composure.

Many people noticed this scene. Many people knew about Meiren Zhao being fined to kneel again today. Now that Zhao Lu's walking posture is not right, they can understand it.

Zhou Wanying was helped up by Han Yiqing, and the two sat back in their seats.

Zhao Mei got up and looked at Zhao Lu, wanting to say something, but returned to her seat without saying anything.

For a while no one spoke anymore.

Fortunately, it didn't take too long this time, Concubine De and Shen Jing came back.

Lan Qin was still holding a box.

"God, it's really the same." Du Jieyu exclaimed.

The faces of all the concubines changed, and they looked at each other, and Shu Guiren and Liu Guiren, who were next to Zhao Lu, suddenly felt as if they were sitting on pins and needles.

It turned out that Zhao Meiren really did it.

The two of them have been close to Meiren Zhao on weekdays, because after Qingyun Temple had the empress, Concubine Wu has such a temperament, the two of them went to Meiren Zhao in order to avoid making mistakes and inquire about Zhao Meiren's preferences. Be more diligent.

But, please don't drag them into the water again.

Both Shu Guiren and Liu Gui showed worried and apprehensive eyes.

"Empress Dowager, this is the box found at Meiren Zhao's place. It is the same as the box I got at Zhou Jieyu's place just now. The concubine opened it and checked it. It is jewelry, so I brought it to Zhou Jieyu. Look, it's her jewelry box."

Concubine De said, motioning Lan Qin to hand the box to Shen Jing.

Shen Jing walked towards the queen mother with her hands in her hands.

The opened lid of the box blocked everyone's sight, and everyone was curiously guessing what was inside.

"It belongs to a concubine, it must belong to a concubine."

Zhou Wanying walked over regardless of her appearance, and said eagerly.

This seemed to make Zhao Lu more stable.

However, maybe it was pretending to be calm, no one could say for sure.

Although the queen mother didn't say anything, the dissatisfaction in her eyes was obvious, she just felt that Zhou Jieyu was too impatient.

"Zhou Jieyu, don't panic, do you remember what jewelry is in your jewelry box?"

Shen Jing reminded in a gentle voice.

Zhou Wanying frowned: "Mingzhen and Mingzhu are responsible for all the jewelry in this palace."

Ming Zhen, who was called, stepped forward and knelt on the ground, about to speak back.

"Why don't you ask someone to prepare a pen and ink, Zhou Jieyu and Zhao Meiren both wrote down their jewelry." Li Yu'er said with a smile.

Zhou Wanying looked at her: "What is the meaning of this, Empress Jin?"

Li Yu'er: "Fair."

"Fair?" Zhou Wanying was annoyed: "The concubine's jewelry box was found from Zhao Meiren, how is this fair to the concubine!"

"Then I have to ask the people around you, why is your jewelry box in Zhao Meiren's Xiangnuan Pavilion?"

Zhou Wanying looked at Mingzhen puzzled, what is the meaning?
Ming Zhen turned pale: "Is the concubine Jin saying that the slave girl was bribed by Zhao Meiren, and deliberately exchanged the box filled with poisonous weeds for Zhou Jieyu's jewelry box?"

"Hey," Li Yu'er chuckled, "The second half of the sentence is correct, but you have to correct the first half."

There was a flash of panic on Mingzhen's face when she heard the words, but she quickly replaced it with panic:

"Is the concubine Jin trying to kill the slaves!"

"My servant knows that I have offended the concubine Jin, but I have already paid the price for it last time, and now I am lucky enough to save my life. I hope that there are many concubine Jin, please spare this servant!"

As Ming Zhen said, she knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Li Yu'er for mercy.
