Chapter 41 The Murderer

The guards looked at the hall one by one, and when they came to Tong Ange's side, they paused.

A sneer flashed in Concubine Qiao Shu's eyes on the high seat, and everyone's eyes were focused on Tong Ange, looking at Tong Ange in surprise.

"Your majesty, empress, the person I saw outside Changle Palace is this young lady." The guard took a careful look at Tong Ange, then turned and said firmly to the emperor and Concubine Qiao Shu.

Tong Yuming's face changed suddenly, and he looked at Tong Ange in disbelief. He didn't expect that the guards identified him as a concubine.

Compared with Tong Yuming's complexion, Qiao's and Tong Yufu's complexion was much prettier, and even their slightly raised lips were somewhat smug.

The emperor's eyes sank. Although Concubine Qiao Shu beside her had a bit of disbelief on her face, the gloating in her eyes flashed: "Your Majesty, how could this be Miss Tong Er?"

"Are you sure that the person you saw is her?" the emperor asked in a deep voice.

The guard cupped his hands: "Your Majesty, the person I saw outside Changle Palace is definitely her."

Su Yu on the opposite side glanced at Tong Ange, his gaze was a little deeper, Lin Weiframe's gaze sank not far away, his eyebrows frowned, but Lin Qingyi, who was sitting beside him, couldn't help but snorted softly, and said in a low voice: "It's true that evil comes with evil."

"Qingyi." Lin Wei glanced at Lin Qingyi: "No matter how you say it, Miss Tong Er saved your life."

"If I didn't think she saved my life, I would have reported her long ago." Lin Qingyi said dissatisfied.

"What are you reporting on her?" Lin Wei frowned.

"There's no need for me to report it now. She has already received retribution. She dares to play tricks on the emperor's uncle's birthday banquet. She simply doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth."

The two of them were discussing in low voices, when the emperor's angry voice came: "Bring Tong Ange to me."

"Miss..." Er Lan's face became anxious.

Tong Ange glanced at her, stood up calmly, glanced at the guard, and said lightly: "I can go by myself." After speaking, he raised his foot and walked towards the center of the hall.

"Kneel down." Eunuch Fu pushed Tong Ange.

Tong Ange knelt down in front of the emperor, his face was extremely calm: "My daughter Tong Ange sees the emperor, ma'am."

"Tong Ange, are you guilty?!" The emperor asked in a deep voice, the majesty exuding from his body made people secretly startled.

"Back to the emperor, what crime did the minister and daughter commit?" Tong Ange said calmly.

"You don't know? Then what did you do in Changle Palace today?" the emperor asked coldly.

Tong Ange took it easy: "If you go back to the emperor, the minister didn't go to Changle Palace, the minister just..."

"How dare you lie in front of the emperor? If you didn't go to Changle Palace in my palace, how would the patrolling guards identify you?" Concubine Qiao Shu said, with a bit of sarcasm in her voice.

Tong Ange raised his head and looked straight at Concubine Qiao Shu: "If you go back to your mother, the minister has never entered the Changle Palace, but when she went to pick up the lanterns for the concubine Hui tonight, she went the wrong way, so she passed by the mother's Changle Palace. palace."

"Tong Ange, you don't make up the details when you lie. My mother's concubine's Changle Palace and Huimu's concubine's Luoxia Palace are basically in two directions. Even if you are lost, how can you reach the mother's concubine's Changle Palace!" Tong Ange As soon as the words fell, Princess Yong'an said mockingly.

The emperor also glared at Tong Ange angrily, "Tong Ange, are you trying to deceive the king?"

Tong Yuming, who was at the banquet, had his heart in his throat. Hearing the emperor's voice, he was extremely angry. He walked quickly to the center of the hall and knelt down, and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, my little girl can't do it even if she has a hundred guts." Don't dare to bully your Majesty, there must be a misunderstanding in this matter, I beg your Majesty to investigate clearly."

He pleaded with the emperor not just because of Tong Ange, but because of deceiving the emperor and suppressing the crime of killing and stealing, it would be a disaster for the Tong family!

At that time, how many heads can he bear?
Thinking of this, Tong Yuming's back felt chills.

The emperor snorted coldly: "I will not wrong anyone, but I will never tolerate it. Tong Ange, since you said that you are just lost and have never entered the Changle Palace of Concubine Shu, can someone prove it for you?"

"Huihuang..."

"Your Majesty, servant girl, servant girl can prove that this servant girl has been following the young lady, and the young lady has indeed never entered the Changle Palace." Tong Ange just spoke, but was interrupted by Er Lan who rushed out and knelt down.

Er Lan's voice was somewhat anxious: "Your Majesty, this servant can prove that Miss is not lying."

"Your Majesty, this is Tong Ange's servant girl. She might be Tong Ange's accomplice. Her words are not enough to be trusted." Concubine Qiao Shu said.

The emperor glanced coldly at Er Lan who was kneeling on the ground: "Concubine Shu's words are good."

"Father, I feel that Tong Ange's words are obviously strange. I just took all the ladies to Huimu Concubine's Luoxia Palace. There are so many people, how could she get lost? I think Tong Ange is doing it on purpose." Went to the Changle Palace of the mother and concubine, killed the court lady Bi'er, and stole the Golden Picture of Wanfushou!" Princess Yong'an said.

"Tong Ange, what else do you want to say?" The emperor said coldly.

"Your Majesty, the court lady was taken outside the gate of Changle Palace by a maid who led the way, and the court lady did not go in. How could the court lady know where Concubine Shu's palace is when she enters the palace for the first time?" Tong Ange said.

Lin Qingyi, who was sitting below, heard Tong Ange's words, couldn't help but snorted softly, and muttered slightly mockingly: "There is no shortage of people who are open to money in this palace, maybe you used money to buy off the maids in the palace. Well." But she didn't forget the two maids who worked for Tong Ange.

"Qingyi!" Lin Wei frowned framedly, and glanced at Lin Qingyi, talking nonsense at this time, if he couldn't say a word well, Tong Ange's head would really fall off.

The emperor sitting in the high position didn't hear what Lin Qingyi was muttering, frowned, and said, "Qingyi, what did you say?"

Lin Qingyi stood up, blessed the emperor, and said: "Returning to the emperor, Qingyi saw Miss Tong Er had contact with the maids in the palace today."

Having said this, Tong Ange's crime was confirmed. Tong Ange frowned, but she couldn't understand, what kind of grudge does this Lin Qingyi have against her?Where did she see that she had contact with the maids in the palace?
Hearing this, Su Yu also frowned slightly, his eyes passed Lin Qingyi's face, and a complex look flashed in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, the maid who leads the way can prove the innocence of the minister. The minister has never entered the Changle Palace of Concubine Shu." Tong Ange kowtowed to the emperor and said.

"Your Majesty, since Tong Ange said that a maid took her past the concubine's Changle Palace, and it can be proved that she did not pass by the concubine's palace, why not ask all the maids in charge of leading the way tonight? If it's not innocent, it can be found out clearly, and Tong Ange won't be wronged." Concubine Qiao Shu said, the corners of her lips twitched slightly, and a gleam of light flashed in her eyes.

"Go, pass in all the maids in charge of leading the way tonight." The emperor said in a deep voice.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Eunuch Fu responded, and quickly brought all the maids in charge of leading the way to the hall: "Your Majesty, all the maids in charge of leading the way tonight are in the hall."

"Tong Ange, go find the leading lady who can prove your innocence, I want to see if I really wronged you!" The emperor said in a deep voice.

"Yes." Tong Ange responded, stood up and walked to the two rows of maids at the back, looked around carefully, and his heart sank bit by bit, no wonder the maid waited for her and Erlan to come out of Luoxia Palace It disappeared after that. Since Concubine Qiao Shu wanted to kill her, how could that maid appear in the hall at this moment?

After she had read everything, the majestic voice of the emperor came: "Have you found the maid who will guide you?"

"Going back to the emperor, the minister's daughter was not found." Tong Ange's heart sank to the bottom of the valley.

"Tong Ange, you are so brave, you dare to fool me, come, someone, pull this tricky girl down, break her hands and feet, and at noon tomorrow, you will be executed!" The emperor said angrily.

As soon as the emperor finished speaking, two nuns came over to drag Tong Ange down.

"How could this happen?" Erlan exclaimed suddenly when she saw this, she hurriedly protected Tong Ange, and kowtowed to the emperor: "Your Majesty, I must have made a mistake. There is really a court lady leading the way for our lady, Your Majesty, who is our lady?" Wrong, she didn't do anything."

"Presumptuous, how dare you yell in front of the emperor, how decent is it, mother Li, slap your mouth!" Concubine Qiao Shu snorted coldly.

"Yes, ma'am!" Nanny Li responded, walked quickly in front of Erlan, grabbed Erlan's collar, bowed left and right, and slapped Erlan's face harshly, almost immediately. , Erlan's cheeks became red and swollen.

Tong Ange's complexion changed, and he wanted to step forward to stop her, but was stopped by the nanny who was pulling her, and slapped her on the face, and Concubine Qiao Shu snorted coldly: "Tong Ange, in front of the emperor, do you want Rebellion?"

This slap caused Tong Ange's cheeks to burn and hurt. She raised her eyes to Concubine Qiao Shu, narrowed her eyes, and said, "Your Majesty, since you believe that the murderer is your servant, why bother to beat your maid? The Fushou Jintu was really stolen by Tong Ange, and the court lady Bier was really killed by Tong Ange, and Tong Ange is completely at the disposal of the empress!"

Tong Yufu's face was full of complacency at the moment, and the complacent sarcasm on her lips could not be suppressed. With such a big hat on, she would like to see if Tong Ange has the ability to turn around!
"Beating? Tong Ange, your maid is your accomplice. You and your maid killed the maid of the palace and stole the birthday gift specially prepared by the palace for the emperor. Shouldn't this maid be dealt with?" Concubine Qiao Shu said coldly.

Tong Ange also didn't look at her, and looked straight at the emperor: "The emperor was a wise king, and the minister did not steal the birthday gift, let alone murder, please the emperor to investigate the case and return the minister's innocence!" Tong Ange said heavily One head knocked down.

When his forehead hit the ground, Tong Ange couldn't help but bared his teeth in his heart, Damn, it really hurts!

Hearing the words, the emperor narrowed his eyes, and snorted: "Tong Ange, you are quite courageous, all the evidence points to you, and now you dare to keep asking me to give you justice? Could it be that I have wronged you? "
