Chapter 466 Slander
Before she finished speaking, Situ Rui glanced over, and she shut up, almost falling off the chair in fright.

"Your majesty, empress, minister's wife... This minister's wife was born in Taiping Town, a small town in the south of the Yangtze River. The first time I went to my cousin's house, my cousin also said that I look like my cousin, but...but I'm really not cousin Mingzhu." , Your Majesty, please look into it." Liu Yang said timidly, almost crying.

Look at her acting like a country girl, although she is timid and cowardly like Nalan Mingzhu, and her appearance is also six points similar, but she doesn't look like Nalan Mingzhu who was raised in a deep boudoir since she was a child.

"You say it's not right? Who knows where Liu Chenyue found a helper, and hired you to replace the real Nalan Pearl. Tell me, who are you? If you confess, maybe you can save your death. "

Situ Rui's face turned extremely ugly, but Xu Qiushui still came to add fuel to the flames.Situ Rui became angry immediately, "Queen, are you enough!"

Only then did Xu Qiushui shut up, but he sneered in his heart: Is that enough?How can this be possible?It was you who ordered me to reward Liu Chenyue's wife, Yang Shi, and it was you who said to test whether Liu Chenyue's wife, Yang Shi, is the Nalan Pearl. Now you still want to protect your own face, you want both face and Lizi, I just won't let you get what you want!

It has to be said that Xu Qiushui's schadenfreude happened to help the Liu family and the Nalan family, and also helped Qin Wange by the way. If she hadn't hated Situ Rui to the bone, she would have disrupted the situation at this time and would not be able to push forward the next step. things went smoothly.

"Liu Yang, what else do you have to say?" Situ Rui asked in a deep voice, it was clearly a sign of anger.

Liu Yangshi who was kneeling on the ground was frightened, couldn't kneel for a while and fell to the ground, Liu Ruxin quickly helped her up, but Liu Yangshi was already trembling with fright.

Liu Ruxin was also angry at this moment, "Your Majesty, Empress, forgive me for offending my concubine. There are some things that I have to say. Your majesty, empress, sometimes said that my sister-in-law is Concubine Lan, and then said that the lady next to me It's not my sister-in-law, do you have any definite evidence? This serious crime of deceiving the emperor cannot be said to be charged to the Liu family and the Nalan family, how can this be convincing?"

"You..." Situ Rui was at a loss for words.

However, Xu Qiushui seemed to have eaten gunpowder, pointed at Liu Ruxin angrily and said, "You... Liu Ruxin, you are so courageous! Do you know who you are talking to?"

"Empress, there is a saying in the folks that it is reasonable to walk around the world, but it is difficult to walk without reason. The crime of deceiving the emperor is not a small matter of stealing chickens and dogs. It is a matter of hundreds of innocent lives. Please forgive my ministers and concubines for being unreasonable. Presenting conclusive evidence is slander. All the concubines and wives present can testify for me and my Liu family. My Liu family has been innocent and loyal to the emperor and patriotic for generations, so how can I bear this shame and humiliation!"

Liu Ruxin's tone was firm, her voice was sonorous and forceful, and she seemed not half guilty.

For a moment, Situ Rui's face turned blue and white, and the matter has come to an end, if he can't produce conclusive evidence that the person kneeling below is not Liu Yang, or that she is Nalan Mingzhu, he will be humiliated !His face as an emperor was disgraced, and his majesty would also disappear.

Xu Qiushui's complexion was not looking good either.Okay, what a Liu Ruxin, I thought your Liu family was a guilty conscience and you didn't dare to speak out. Who would have thought that you, a lowly maidservant, would be so bold!Even Bengong dared to contradict him!I'll make you tough.

"Your Majesty, since Concubine Yun Gui is so upright and confident, let people go to the Liu Mansion to see the truth." Xu Qiushui said bitterly.

Xu Qiushui was utterly irrational for saying such words at this time.She only knew that she was angry, but she didn't forget to think about it.

Hearing this, Situ Rui glanced at her, his eyes were extremely cold.

Kneeling below, Liu Ruxin, who was still supporting Liu Yang's family, sneered and said: "The empress's words are really puzzling. Does the empress have conclusive evidence that can prove that my Liu family has committed a heinous crime? You want to make an order?" Go to the gate of my Liu family to search. The plaque bestowed by Emperor Taizu is still hanging on the gate of my Liu family. Where does the empress want to put the emperor?"

"You...don't make any sense!" Xu Qiushui has completely lost his mind, "You little bitch, if you insist on admitting that the woman kneeling beside you is your sister-in-law, how dare you let Ben Gong send someone to search her body to prove her identity? Haven't you been instructed by an expert to deceive people by changing their faces? There are so many tricks and tricks in the Jianghu, I don't believe it, how brave is that timid Nalan Mingzhu who hides and hides... ..." Dare to deceive the emperor.The words behind have not been spoken yet,

Situ Rui roared angrily, "Enough!" With a livid face, he could no longer bear Xu Qiushui.

Xu Qiushui was taken aback, but seeing Situ Rui like this, he could only feel depressed and turned his head away angrily.

Liu Ruxin was stubborn and refused to admit defeat, and she would not give in. At this moment, Situ Rui looked at her, she was supporting Liu Yangshi beside her without any fear, and she did not avoid her eyes.

After a while, Situ Rui only said three words, "Do a body search."

Liu Ruxin froze for a moment, and then laughed, "In the final analysis, the emperor believed a baseless slander and believed it to be true. My sister-in-law and the deceased Concubine Lan Gui did have six or seven points alike. , I was also taken aback, but people with discerning eyes can see that my sister-in-law and Concubine Lan are not the same person, but similar. Your Majesty, do you still insist on a body search?"

"Search!" Stirred by Liu Ruxin's words, Situ Rui couldn't contain his anger anymore. It seemed that he was about to explode on the spot, but he couldn't.

The two nuns got Situ Rui's order to step forward, Liu Ruxin defended Liu Yangshi desperately, even Shen'er and Rumeng also helped to block it.

"Liu Ruxin, what do you want to do?"

"Your Majesty, what if my sister-in-law is searched, but you can't find the results you want?" Liu Ruxin refused to budge.

After hesitating for a while, Situ Rui said firmly, "What if it is found?"

His hesitation for a moment was because he was suspicious by nature, and he didn't want to do things that he wasn't sure about.The firmness in the back is that he believes that Yu Feng will not and dare not lie to him, otherwise, he could kill Yu Feng!He was sure that Yu Feng would not lie to him, so there was nothing to worry about.

Liu Ruxin gritted her teeth, and glanced at Liu Yangshi. Liu Yangshi shook her head at Liu Ruxin, as if to signal her not to speak too much, as if she was worried. Seeing this scene, Situ Rui felt even more worried. There is a bottom.He ordered someone to come forward, and then two court ladies stepped forward to help Liu Ruxin go away, Shen'er and Rumeng, no matter how indignant they were, did not dare to say anything, so they had to step aside.

Mrs. Liu Yang, in full view of the public, was fiddled with by two nuns as if they were checking something, and they even fiddled with her hair, looking left and right behind her ears, it was very embarrassing.She clenched her fists tightly, but she didn't dare to resist, she kept looking in the direction of Rumeng and Liu Ruxin.

Liu Ruxin was also full of worry, as if someone would find out about something.

The entire Qifeng Palace suddenly fell into a dead silence.

At first, Situ Rui's expression was complacent, but after the two nuns checked for a long time, they found nothing. Embarrassed.These two nuns are not newcomers to be fooled with.

"Two mothers, you carefully checked my sister-in-law's face in front of everyone, did you notice anything unusual?" Liu Ruxin became confident now.

The previous layout has been completed, and Situ Rui has had his sister-in-law's face checked in front of everyone. They can't find anything wrong if they are single. If Situ Rui says anything and does anything, it will be done.

In the eyes of outsiders, Liu Ruxin was defending her sister-in-law and her family's reputation at this time, but she couldn't express her indignation, which seemed really aggrieved.

Situ Rui wanted to say something, but he couldn't speak because of embarrassment. Could it be that Yu Feng lied to him? !This dog slave is so courageous!It made him unable to come down to the stage.

At this moment, Liu Yang pulled Liu Ruxin's sleeves, and timidly shook her head at her.He is obviously the sufferer, but he still wants to save some face for the empress.

Although Liu Ruxin was angry, but for Liu Yang's sake, it was difficult to say much in front of so many people, so she simply didn't say anything.

She supported Liu Yangshi to stand up, Rumeng and Shen'er supported Liu Yangshi, and she knelt down again.

"Today, the concubine is my sister-in-law who came to the palace to thank the emperor and empress for their rewards, but these things happened unexpectedly. I hope the emperor and empress can see that my sister-in-law was a little frightened. Let the concubine take her home."

Situ Rui was speechless and could only nod his head.

Liu Ruxin thanked her, and helped Liu Yangshi to leave, Shen'er and Rumeng also hurriedly left.

From the beginning to the end, no one noticed that there was any problem with the appearance of the imperial concubine's maid here.but……

After leaving the palace gate, Liu Ruxin's footsteps paused, she exchanged a glance with Liu Yangshi, and then looked back.

In less than an hour, this matter will spread in the capital.At that time, even if Situ Rui and Xu Qiushui each had ten mouths, they would not be able to tell clearly.

The emperor and the empress have no way to search the Liu family because of an unfounded rumor. They also searched the wife of Dali Siqing in the Qifeng Palace in public, and searched her like a monster.Hmph, let's see how you can get back this time!

Liu Ruxin left with her own sister-in-law, and the other wives in Qifeng Palace also found excuses to leave.Even the concubines and concubines in the palaces all resigned and left.

Soon, only Situ Rui, Xu Qiushui, and the servants in Qifeng Palace were left in Qifeng Palace.At this time, Li Deshou was sent by Situ Rui to Yuejun Hall to check on the condition of the imperial concubine and he was not there, but it happened just right.

The atmosphere was so depressed that no one dared to speak, and even held their breath, for fear that they would be shocked if they gasped too much.

In the dead silence, I saw Situ Rui grab the teacup at hand, lift it up to an extraordinary height, and just smash it down, and Situ Rui's roar could be heard from a distance: "Get out of here—"
