Chapter 168 169: As expected of you
Song Yunzhao looked at An Fangyi and said slowly, "Of course I can't."
An Fangyi slightly raised her eyebrows, "So when the empress asks the concubine, is she deliberately embarrassing the concubine?"
Concubine Zhuang looked at Song Yunzhao with a smile and said: "Song Zhaoyi, I know that you and Concubine Han Gui have always been close, but you can't deliberately take sides."
Concubine Shu couldn't get used to Concubine Zhuang's face, and immediately said: "Concubine Zhuang, why do I hear that you are biased towards An Fangyi in every word you say? You talk about fairness, but this is not like it. Where is the justice?"
The smile on Concubine Zhuang's face froze, she looked sideways at Concubine Shu, "Concubine Shu, I'm just talking about the facts."
"I'm just discussing the matter as it stands." Concubine Shu raised her head and retorted, she must not lose her momentum.
At this time, someone suddenly said, "Since the two empresses cannot make a decision, it is better to ask the empress dowager to make the decision."
Song Yunzhao immediately looked up, and saw Qin Xiyue with a just right smile on his face, his eyes fixed on the direction of Concubine Zhuang and Concubine Shu, with a look of sincerity.
The Queen Mother please come forward?
What's the difference between this and bending the law for personal gain? The queen mother doesn't like her, so she naturally dislikes Han Jinyi who has made friends with her, and the queen mother's temperament is really not upright and selfless, so leave it to her?
Hehe, Qin Xiyue saw that she was going to make a comeback for Han Jinyi, so she immediately moved out of the queen mother and suppressed her!
This brain is worthy of the heroine, much more flexible than Concubine Zhuang.
"Qin Wanyi, the empress dowager has devoted herself to worshiping the Buddha since she returned to the palace, and besides, there is a palace official in charge of the affairs of the harem, so there is no need to bother the empress dowager." Song Yunzhao did not give Qin Xiyue a chance to speak, and immediately looked at Yan Yu, "Yan Gongzheng, what do you say?"
If Yan Yu dared to let the queen mother deal with it, what prestige would the harem chief minister have in the harem?
If the matter fell into the hands of the Queen Mother from the beginning, it would be fine. Now that the Queen Mother is brought in halfway, Qin Xiyue's purpose should not be too obvious, Song Yunzhao will definitely not do what she wants.
Qin Xiyue’s words had already fallen to the ground, and Concubine Zhuang was also a little annoyed. Why bother to play tricks with Concubine Shu and Song Yunzhao, she should have invited the Empress Dowager in the first place. With the Empress Dowager here, even Concubine Shu restrained herself a bit, let alone Song Zhaoyi, who could not allow her to be so arrogant with her tail between her legs.
What a mistake, and thinking of this, I feel a little dissatisfied. Qin Xiyue should have reminded her before.
Yan Yu took a step forward, looked at the crowd and said with a smile, "Ladies and gentlemen, calm down, there are still many things to investigate in this case, such as the fact that Yingchun's brother came to get the silver, and the origin of the gold bracelet, the process of losing it, and the way to find it in the end. This involves An Fangyi's warehouse steward and other people, as well as the palace servants around Han Jinyi. Therefore, the final result of the case will have to wait for the slaves to interrogate before returning to the masters."
Song Yunzhao took a deep look at Yan Yu, and immediately said: "Yan Gongzheng is right. If you want to investigate the case, you must look like an investigation. In order to avoid collusion, a separate interrogation is really necessary."
Concubine Shu also understood Song Yunzhao's deep meaning at this time. She glanced at Qin Xiyue with displeasure, and knew that she had come out to stir things up. Concubine Zhuang spoke at this time.
"It's just a small theft incident, it shouldn't be such a big fanfare, just asking a few words."
Although Concubine Shu's mind is not bright at times, seeing Concubine Zhuang's inconsistent attitude at this time, she also thought of something, and immediately said: "Concubine Zhuang, since it is a small theft, what are you doing standing here?"
Since it is a trivial matter, it is inappropriate for you to stand here.
An Fangyi's face was sullen, and she was unable to get off the tiger. She said bravely, "Of course."
Yan Yu looked at Concubine Zhuang and Concubine Shu again.
Concubine Shu said displeasedly: "Yan Gong is looking at what I am doing. As Gong Zheng, you can do whatever you want. Concubine Zhuang, do you think so?"
Concubine Zhuang: …
Yan Yu immediately nodded in response, and asked people to take away Wanqiu, Yingchun, and the people involved in the two halls, and then bowed and retreated.
As soon as Yan Yu left, the tension became less tense, but neither Han Jinyi nor An Fangyi looked good.
Concubine Zhuang glanced at Concubine Shu, and was about to say something, when she heard Concubine Shu say: "Since Gong Zhengsi has taken over, and we are waiting for news, let's go."
Concubine Zhuang: …
Concubine Shu took the lead to lead the people away, with a flamboyant face in a gorgeous dress and cloud temples, who would dare to stop her.
As soon as Concubine Shu left, Concubine Zhuang couldn't stay any longer, so she turned around and left too.
Song Yunzhao glanced at Qin Xiyue, she didn't know what she was thinking, she lowered her head slightly and couldn't see her face.
No matter what she was thinking, Song Yunzhao was not interested in knowing. She had the highest status among the remaining people, so she walked up to Han Jinyi and said, "I'm thirsty after sitting for a long time. I'm going to Han Guifei's hall to ask for tea."
Han Jinyi responded immediately, turned around and led the way.
The rest of the people looked at each other, An Fangyi's face was the worst, and she didn't care about Qin Xiyue beside her, and went straight back to Feishuang Hall.
Qin Xiyue turned her head and left as soon as she saw it, and the rest of the people also left one after another.
Feng Yunjin watched Concubine Lu walking towards the main hall, thought for a while and followed.
Lu Zhixue just kept holding back her mouth, fearing that her mouth would be a disservice to Han Jinyi. Now that she entered the hall, there was no outsider around, so she couldn't help but said, "This is clearly a frame-up, and a blind person can see it, but I don't understand what An Fangyi did against Han Jinyi? She didn't dig her family's ancestral grave!"
Everyone: …
As expected of you!
Han Jinyi specially took a soft pillow and placed it behind Song Yunzhao. After hearing this, he asked everyone to sit down. Then he slowly said, "Now I can't guess An Fangyi's purpose. She and I have always been close friends. If there is a reason, it must be because I live in the main hall."
Feng Yunjin shook his head slightly, "It is His Majesty's will that you live in the main hall. Besides, An Fangyi's status is higher than yours, but she annoyed His Majesty before we entered the palace. If it weren't for Duke An's face, she would not be able to keep her Fangyi. Above the fourth rank, she can be the master of the first palace. From the third rank, An Fangyi has been able to live in the main hall, but she has been living in the Feishuang Hall. Why? It must be His Majesty's intention, so even you now As a noble concubine who lives in the main hall, An Fangyi can't blame you."
"Feng Yunjin makes sense." Lu Zhixue nodded, "Anyway, I've been looking at An Fangyi in a strange way, and the way I look at people makes me uncomfortable. It's really hard for you to live with her for so long."
