Chapter 208 Taking into account internal troubles (2)
"If this person is found out, he should be held accountable in this way." Yu Wenhong once again prevented Empress Tang from intervening in this matter, "Xun Zhen, I ask you alone, do you know who did this incident?"

Empress Tang's power was taken away by Yu Wenhong, and the veins protruded from the palm of her hand holding the edge of the tea bowl.

Concubine Feng saw it secretly, her eyes were full of joy, it turned out that Empress Tang was also deflated in front of her son just like her, but Xun Zhen, a court lady, made her look away, the solitary fox spirit is very capable.

"I know." Xun Zhen said surprisingly.

Xu You looked at her in surprise, "Xun Zhen, do you know who did it? Why didn't you tell me earlier?" She only said it now that things got serious, feeling displeased.

Xun Zhen bent down respectfully, "Master Shanggong, this subordinate is responsible for negligence, but this subordinate has never had a chance to tell you, and someone suddenly appeared when I tried to tell you, that's why the nobles left in vain. one trip."

Mo Huayi originally thought that he was sure of everything, but who would have thought that it would turn around?
Yu Ruyi's words were out of control a few times, and she was sure that Xun Zhen would not be able to stand up. She had heard Mo Huayi say this strategy, and Xun Zhen would not be able to guard against that person.

Xun Zhen turned a blind eye to the whispers and frowns of the crowd, but went forward to Zhuang Cui'e and the three who had been silent all this time, and said, "I'll give you one last chance, who made this, hurry up and admit it, I will definitely I will also plead for it."

This is the second time she has said this, if that person doesn't stand up again, don't blame her for not remembering the old relationship.

When the incident with the crown dress happened, Zhuang Cui'e and the others had already been interrogated by Xun Zhen once, but before the results came out, Mo Huayi and the others were killed, so everything was abandoned.

Xu You also drank at this time, "Who is playing tricks behind the scenes? Still unwilling to come out and admit their mistakes?"

Zhuang Cui'e and the other three hurriedly knelt down, and none of them would admit that it was him.

"I've given you chances again and again, and it's considered a sisterhood between us." Xun Zhen said coldly, she had given each other chances again and again, but she went all the way to the end.

"Xun Zhen, you should stop your tricks in moderation. The ceremony is approaching. If you don't find out the real culprit, I will definitely spare you." Empress Tang raised her head slightly and said that her son's mischief should be stopped in moderation.

"Why should the empress be in a hurry?" Yu Wenhong glanced sideways at Empress Tang.

"Emperor, the queen mother is for your own good." Empress Tang has been suppressed by Yu Wenhong for a long time. She is the master of the harem. Do it indiscriminately.

Yu Wenhong turned a deaf ear to Empress Tang's warning. No matter how powerful Empress Tang is, that's all. Now the Tang family is relying on him, not him. This is the root of his ability to suppress Empress Tang's arrogance. Of course She was also afraid that he would look into her secret, thinking of her secret, he twitched his mouth mockingly.

"Xun Zhen, you don't have to worry, you can speak slowly."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Xun Zhen saluted, and said to the two unremarkable female historians outside, "Go and pour a basin of warm water."

Everyone looked sideways, what exactly is Xun Zhen going to do?
Xun Zhen ignored everyone's sideways glances. After the basin of water came, she tested the temperature of the water, then soaked the remaining half of the dress and the intact half in the water, and rubbed it gently. After a while, she lifted it up. , put down the half of the dress, hugged the little ball, and said: "Everyone can take a look."

Yu Wenhong walked half a beat faster than Yu Wenchun, stepped forward to look at the basin of warm water, there was burnt ashes in the water, but there was a layer of inconspicuous but faintly luminous gold powder in the ashes.

"There's gold dust on this dress?" Yu Wenchun asked in surprise.

"That's right." Xun Zhen asked someone to bring another basin of water, and then put Xiao Qiu'er's feet in the water. At this time, the dog obediently let her do what she wanted, sticking out his tongue and licking her wrist.

A perverted dog, the Yuwen brothers stared fiercely at this pocket dog, until the dog was too frightened to move around.

There is also a touch of gold dust in the water.

"What can that prove?" Mo Huayi said, "It can only prove that this dog dragged the dress into the brazier, and Xun took control. This can only further prove your crime."

Xun Zhen looked at her with a sneer, "Is that so? Is the little ball something I did by myself or was it made dirty by others? I have always kept the dress very safe, and it will not be touched by others. Seeing that I sprinkled a little gold powder on it, someone must have touched this dress, just check if there is any gold powder on her hands."

She looked at the three women who were quite close to her, and looked at the faces of the three of them. Seeing Zhuang Cui'e's openness, although Song'er was a little uneasy, she did not avoid her gaze. Qian Fang'er didn't dare to look at her, and quietly rubbed her hands behind her back.

Xun Zhen suddenly said loudly: "It's you, you are the one who threw the gown into the charcoal basin." Her finger pointed to Qian Fang'er.

Qian Fang'er's face was startled, and she knelt down in fright, "No, it's not me, Lord Master, it's really not me..."

Everyone was surprised.

Yu Wenhong's face sank, "It turned out that you threw Gu's dress into the fire. Don't you know that this is a crime of disrespect? If you commit the following crime, Gu will not forgive you." It also made his little woman frightened.

"No, it's not me..." Qian Fang'er shook her head like a drum.

"Then do you dare to test if you have gold powder in your hand?" Xun Zhen didn't expect that she would still deny it now, and his heart was very cold.

"I..." Qian Fang'er didn't know what to say, but her hands were behind her back, her face was full of panic.

"Bring another pot of warm water." Yu Wenhong gave a cold drink.

Qian Fang'er sat paralyzed on the ground, with surprise in his eyes, which further affirmed Xun Zhen's words, and everyone gradually believed that the culprit was this seemingly honest and quiet court lady.

The chill in Zhuang Cui'e's eyes deepened, she didn't expect Fang'er to be the last person to betray, she thought it was Song'er.

Xun Zhen watched coldly from the side, and let the other two female officials hold Qian Fang'er's hand in the water basin, but Qian Fang'er refused, and when her hand touched the water, she said loudly : "No, don't, I, I said..." Struggling vigorously and retracting his hand, he looked at Xun Zhen with tears streaming down his face.
