Chapter 242: Search by officers and soldiers

After leaving the east wing, Yuan He followed Fang Yun and heard Fang Yun's whispered instructions.

"Don't expose the truth and scare the enemy. If you arrest someone, you will definitely get the stolen goods."

"Don't worry Liangdi, all servants know."

Yuan He cupped his hands and watched Fang Yun enter the main room, then straightened up and waved to two of his young eunuchs.

At night.

The entire Biluozhai turned off the lights and fell into silence.

Only the east wing room had to keep an eye on the child, and two small candles were lit in the room.

However, the dim light made people more and more sleepy in the cold night. Around midnight, Grandma Chen was so sleepy that she started yawning non-stop.

Mrs. Liu poured her two cups of tea to refresh herself, but it didn't work.

Seeing this, Ms. Liu said thoughtfully, "Why don't you sleep for a while? I'm not sleepy right now. You can switch over to me after you've slept. This will save us both staying the whole night, which we can't bear."

"That's not good. You went out in the afternoon and didn't sleep as long as I did." Ms. Chen felt a little embarrassed.

Mrs. Liu hurriedly waved her hands, "Why are you being polite to me? We will have to take care of each other in the future. I'm really not sleepy, so you can go to sleep first."

Because there was indeed some eyelid fighting, Mrs. Chen was no longer polite, gathered up the blanket and went to lie on the small couch next to her.

Not long after, Mrs. Liu tiptoed to the small couch. After making sure that Mrs. Chen was asleep, she immediately returned to the second girl's cradle and took off the quilt covering the second girl.

"Girl, don't blame me. I have no choice but to sell myself to the palace as a wet nurse, but my pair of sons are still not enough to feed me. I have to ask for money!"

Ms. Liu seemed a little guilty, but she did not stop moving her hands. She stood by the cradle and looked at the sleeping child inside.

"You are sick, and there is an imperial doctor to diagnose and treat you. Don't worry about the lack of good medicine. My son is not as lucky as you, so you should just do good deeds and accumulate merit. If you are sick for a few days, I will take some money and go back to treat my son.

.”

After saying that, Ms. Liu sighed and raised her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes.

And somewhere she didn't notice, a palm-sized tile was quietly placed back on top of the beam.

Not long after, there was movement at the door of the east wing.

The door was pushed open forcefully from the outside. Mrs. Liu was stunned for a moment when she heard the movement. She quickly got up from the bench and hurriedly covered the child with a quilt.

But before her hand left the cradle, Yuan He rushed in with someone.

He immediately shouted, "Ms. Liu, what are you doing!"

Due to her mood, Ms. Liu was frightened by the cold shout, but she still quickly answered stutteringly.

"Slave, this slave is looking after the second girl. What are you doing, father-in-law, barging in in the middle of the night? Don't, don't scare the girl."

"Hmph, my father-in-law was ordered by Liangdi to take care of all the affairs around the girl, and he came to report to you?" Yuan He raised his chin, his eyes sharp, "But it was you who lifted the girl's quilt in the middle of the night and made her cold.

, what’s your intention!”

As soon as she heard this, Ms. Liu panicked and started to make excuses.

"Why would my father-in-law want to accuse someone so unjustly? I was just tucking the girl under the quilt. I was not lifting the quilt. My father-in-law can't throw dirty water on me!"

"Unjustly accused? There are people who see clearly and still dare to say that they are unjustly accused. You should go and say this in front of Liangdi!" Yuan He raised his hand and said, "take me away!"

Immediately, two young eunuchs jumped up from behind and escorted Ms. Liu away, one from the left and the other from the right.

Of course Mrs. Liu refused to obey, struggling and shouting, but as a woman, she was not strong enough to beat two eunuchs, so she was dragged out roughly.

Such a loud movement actually woke up Mrs. Chen who was sleeping on the couch next to her.

Seeing Ms. Liu being dragged away by Yuan He and his men, she was so frightened that she quickly got up and chased her out.

But at this time, the lights in the main room were already on. Qingrong came out of the house, went to the east wing, and carried the second girl into the main room.

And Yan Wei was not idle either. He went directly to the front yard to invite Pei Yao. Of course, the Crown Princess of Wutong Garden also sent the second-class maid Hong Xiu there.

Not long after, the commotion became louder. As Pei Yao and the Crown Princess arrived one after another, everyone else in the backyard also arrived, including He Liangdi.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty, this slave and concubine has been interrogated. She has fully confessed that He Liangdi ordered her to do something to make the second girl catch the cold. In return, He Liangdi gave her money and gave her a pair of sons outside the palace.

Food, clothing and medical treatment.”

In front of everyone, Fang Yun bowed and said coldly.

In fact, before coming here, Pei Yao and the Crown Princess already knew something about the situation here from the messenger servant, so after hearing Fang Yun's words, their faces became even darker.

Especially Pei Yao, his eyes were so cold and terrifying at the moment, and the moment he looked at He Liangdi, his eyes seemed to be piercing through people.

He Liangdi trembled and quickly knelt down.

"Your Highness Mingjian, I definitely did not do such a thing!"

Finally, he turned around and pointed at Fang Yun and shouted angrily.

"It's you. You can't take care of the second girl, and you're afraid of His Highness's reproach, so you came to frame me, right? You and this bitch are in the same group, and you all colluded to confuse right and wrong!"

"Who is confusing right and wrong? Your Highness will find out now by sending someone out of the palace to check if there is any extra money in the Liu family!"

Fang Yun gave her a glare without showing any signs of weakness, then turned towards Pei Yao.

At this time, Yuan He also stood up and added in a deep voice.

"This afternoon, Mrs. Liu quietly left Biluozhai and went to Jinxiufang. She met Yingxia from Jinxiufang. When she came back, she lied that she went to the dining room to ask for snacks. The servant reported it to Liangdi, who suspected that she had evil intentions.

Then order the slave to be strict

The servant was on guard, fearing to arouse the enemy, so he sent a person to watch on the roof. He discovered that Mrs. Liu took advantage of the other wet nurse to lift the quilt of the second girl, causing the second girl to freeze, and mentioned in her words that she had no choice but to do so.

"

Speaking of this, Fang Yun took over the conversation again.

"Your Highness, the other wet nurse was sleeping too deeply. There is obviously something wrong with her. I have asked the imperial doctor to check her body. The tea that Mrs. Liu gave her contained a light amount of sweat medicine. Mrs. Liu said that the medicine and the method are both good.

I gave it to her in the summer, I thought, if I were to search it now, I might not be able to find this thing in Jinxiufang."

As Fang Yun spoke word by word, He Liangdi, who was kneeling on the ground, turned pale inch by inch.

She wriggled her lips and wanted to say something, but she heard Pei Yao speak coldly.

"Hong Zheng, take people to search."

"Your Highness!"

He Liangdi screamed with a trembling voice, but when she met Pei Yao's dark eyes, she collapsed instantly, her whole body trembled slightly, and she didn't say a word more.

Not long after, Hong Zheng came back and indeed brought back a pack of Mongolian sweat medicine, which he had found in the box in Yingxia.

At this moment, Mrs. Liu was completely panicked. She was crying and trying to shirk responsibility from He Liangdi in an attempt to get forgiveness.

With all the personal and material evidence available, it is incontrovertible that He Liangdi designed the murder of the second girl.

Pei Yao was already so bothered by the disaster relief matters that he couldn't move away. At this moment, he had no patience at all.

She grabbed the tea cup at hand and threw it at He Liangdi hard. The porcelain pieces shattered at her feet and the tea soup splashed all over her. He Liangdi was suddenly frightened.

But what she heard immediately after that made her feel like she was falling into an ice cellar.
