The princess is so powerful that the fish pond is full of people

Chapter 434 Jade Bracelet

When Liang Chongyue was identifying people from the list given by the system, Concubine Jing had already gone all out, pointing out all the loopholes in Dangui's words.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Princess is a child of destiny. I dream of the Seventeenth Prince being half as good as the Princess. How could he have murdered the Princess? This must have been a frame-up. I beg Your Majesty and Your Majesty to conduct a thorough investigation, apprehend the culprit, and give me justice."

After saying that, Concubine Jing left her seat, walked into the hall and knelt down, her deep eyes filled with tears of grievance.

Looking at me with such pitiful eyes, even Liang Chongyue felt a little pity for me.

"Don't worry, the Emperor and I will investigate this matter thoroughly. I will not tolerate such a vicious person in the palace."

What the Queen Mother said is so domineering. The high-ranking concubines in the palace are fighting endlessly. They have the same title and position, but a new group of people have to take the position every few years.

"Come here, take Dangui away for a thorough interrogation."

After her mother finished speaking, Concubine Jing felt it was not appropriate to continue kneeling in the hall, and with the help of a palace maid, she returned to her original seat.

Several familiar young eunuchs in the Yiku Palace came forward to lift Dangui up and were about to drag her away. Even Eunuch Li Jin personally walked up to Dangui.

"Wait a minute, a palace maid like you is wearing such fine Hetian jade?"

Li Jin suddenly spoke, and the dancers who were about to come up to continue playing music and dancing all stopped in their tracks. Everyone's attention was attracted by Li Jin's words.

Li Jin was also a martial artist after all. He clamped the palace maid with one hand and revealed the jade bracelet on her hand. Everyone present knew the value of the jade bracelet.

Such a jade bracelet, although bordered with gold, is top-notch in the jewelry stores of the capital. How could it be worn by a palace maid?

In winter, people wear thick and thick clothes, so the bracelet was not exposed just now. Now that it appears, the whole thing becomes even more interesting.

Liang Chongyue did not continue to appreciate Dangui's panic, but turned her head to look at Empress Xian. Empress Xian had a high position and sat in the first seat next to her.

When Liang Chongyue turned to look at her, Concubine Xian naturally noticed the princess's gaze, swallowed her saliva, and continued to maintain the state of a spectator.

Liang Chongyue originally didn't expect Concubine Xian to have any reaction to her, but Concubine Jing, who was standing right behind Concubine Xian, noticed the way she was looking at her. Her eyes wandered between her and Concubine Xian for a while, with suspicion flashing in her heart.

Liang Chongyue suddenly became playful. He kept facing Concubine Xian, but his eyes turned to Concubine Jing and gave her two glances to signal her.

She saw that Concubine Jing was a good fighter, with clear organization and logic. She hoped that Concubine Jing could understand the meaning in her eyes and give Concubine Xian a heavy blow.

It feels the most satisfying to be slapped in the face, but the person being slapped cannot fight back.

After making the gesture, Liang Chongyue looked away without caring whether Concubine Jing understood or not, waiting to see how Dangui would explain herself.

Dangui looked at the thing that suddenly appeared in her hand, and the warm touch made her stunned for a moment, and the words that eunuch Li Jin whispered in her ear were still floating in her mind.

In an instant, Dangui's hair stood on end. The statement that the Queen's influence and spies were spread throughout the harem was actually true.

"Dan Gui, tell me the truth and tell me where the jade bracelet on your hand came from?"

Dangui was forced to kneel on the floor of the Hall of Supreme Harmony by several young eunuchs. There was a heating system underneath the Hall of Supreme Harmony, so the floor tiles were not very cold, but her heart was already cold.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

Dangui's face was pale, as if she had accepted her fate. She slowly turned her head and looked in the direction of Liang Chongyue.

Those present who were unaware of the situation thought that Dangui was looking at Liang Chongyue, but only Liang Chongyue knew that Dangui was looking at Empress Xian.

Empress Xian threatened her with the lives of her family, but she never thought that Liang Chongyue was lucky enough not to die from the poison. This matter will be thoroughly investigated.

Dangui couldn't escape, and neither could Concubine Xian.

Concubine Jing's seat was right behind Concubine Xian. After meeting Dangui's dull eyes, Concubine Jing was still wondering how she would defend herself if Dangui insisted on blaming her for the jade bracelet incident.

But Concubine Jing has seen countless people in this palace and has seen many kinds of insidious tactics.

Soon Concubine Jing realized that Dangui was not looking at her. Concubine Jing turned around suddenly, and the concubines sitting behind her almost lowered their heads under the table.

He is so cowardly, it's obvious that he has nothing to do with this matter.

There could only be one possibility. Concubine Jing turned around and wanted to confirm it again, but Dangui turned away. There was no trace of desire to survive in those lifeless eyes just now.

"No one instructed me to do this. I hated Her Highness the Princess so much that I asked someone to buy this poison from outside the palace and put it in Her Highness's milk tea."

Dangui's voice was as lifeless as her current state, as if she was ready to die.

Liang Chongyue almost laughed out loud at Dangui's words. She had been working diligently over the years and rarely lost her temper with the palace maids. It wasn't like she had killed her entire family. Did she hate her so much that she wanted to poison her?

"You've been in the palace for quite some time now, haven't you? You probably don't know that poison is no longer available outside. Selling it will result in imprisonment."

Liang Chongyue spoke calmly, with a hint of disdain in his eyes. Seeing Dangui's expression change slightly, he added:

"I don't want to ask you why you hate me. I just want to ask you one question: where did this gold and jade bracelet come from?"

Everything was back on track. Dangui couldn't explain the origin of the gold-inlaid jade bracelet, because the jade bracelet was not given to her by Concubine Xian at all, but was stuffed into her wrist by Li Jin during the chaos. Liang Chongyue had just figured this out.

Dangui's facial expression changed a lot before and after. She had the desire to survive before, and her acting skills were also good.

As soon as the gold and jade bracelet was revealed, Dangui seemed like a completely different person. She was absent-minded, as if there was only a shell there and she had been dead for a while.

"This gold-inlaid jade bracelet looks familiar to me. It seems to belong to Concubine Xian. It seems that the jade bracelet was broken by the Ninth Prince, so it was made into a gold-inlaid jade bracelet. I have seen you wear it several times."

Concubine Jing's voice came from behind Concubine Xian. Liang Chongyue didn't look at Concubine Xian's expression, but it must have been extremely bad.

"Sister Jingfei, please be careful with your words. You can't just talk nonsense about things like this."

There was no fear in Empress Xian's voice. She must have expected that Dangui would keep her mouth shut for the sake of her family's lives.
