Chapter 201 How can it be done without getting some benefits?

"Even if this is the case, it only means that you were not suspected at that time. Everyone who has been to Peach Blossom Garden may be the person who stole the agate head and face. There is no way to remove the suspicion on you. I will temporarily imprison you. In prison, there will be another trial tomorrow! Someone is here..." Emperor Yan Qian wanted to bite Xu Ruqing and not let go.

"emperor!"

As soon as Emperor Yan Qian gave the order, he saw the eunuch Li Da rushing over in a hurry.

Emperor Yan Qian frowned: "What makes you so panicked?"

"In response to your Majesty's message, Concubine Shu's agate head has been found!"

When Emperor Yan Gan heard this, his cloudy and sinister eyes suddenly lit up: "Oh? Where did you find it?"

Li Da glanced at Xu Ruqing and then at Emperor Yan Qian above him, with a hesitant look on his face. "This..."

The look in Li Da's eyes made Emperor Yan Qian even more aware that this matter was closely related to Xu Ruqing: "Why are you hesitating? Tell me clearly!"

Li Da was embarrassed and finally said it: "I found it after searching first and foremost, but it was not found in the Peach Blossom Garden, but... in the Queen's palace."

Li Da said the second half of the sentence extremely quietly, but everyone present could hear it clearly.

The tea in Queen Zhao's hand immediately lost its aroma, and she stood up excitedly: "Why did that agate head appear in my bedroom? You damn eunuch must have lost your mind, and you dared to create this palace!"

"This... Queen, this servant is telling the truth. The emperor ordered the servants to find the whereabouts of the leader. The entire Peach Blossom Garden was turned upside down, but the Agate leader was not seen... I don't know why the slaves appeared in front of you. In his bedroom."

"you……"

Queen Zhao looked at Li Da and then at Concubine Guo Shu who was sitting calmly blowing tea, and she quickly came to her senses.

She said how could this bitch be so kind as to invite her to drink tea today? It turned out that she had already prepared it. Seeing that framed Xu Ruqing failed, she changed her mind and poured this basin of dirty water on her head, right?

Empress Zhao held the heavy pink skirt in both hands and knelt down in front of Emperor Yan Qian: "Your Majesty, you have to believe me. I didn't take Concubine Shu's agate head and face. The emperor gave me countless gold, silver and jewels. How could I, my concubine, covet that little thing and cause trouble for myself? Your Majesty, someone must have framed me, and you have to make the decision for me..."

"It's impossible to say. Who doesn't know that the queen is jealous of Concubine Shu's favor, and it's not impossible that she gets greedy and wants to take it for herself." Who among the crowd said this, and successfully eliminated all the suspicions. They all point to the Queen.

"Yes, who in the harem doesn't know that Queen Zhao is jealous that Concubine Shu can get the favor of the emperor. Queen Zhao has no children and no maternal power. Compared with Concubine Shu who has the support of the three princes, she is in heaven and on earth! She has long disliked Concubine Shu, so how could she suddenly get so close to Concubine Shu... If I look at it, she must have ulterior motives."

"The queen approached Concubine Shu in order to get the agate head and face. This move was so clever that even I almost believed it!"

"..."

The queen's face turned red and white while listening to everyone's words.

"Your Majesty, I am innocent, you cannot believe their words..."

Emperor Yan Qian's temples were beating suddenly, and he felt that these women were really noisy, and none of them made him worry!

"Your Majesty, the two palace guards guarding Agate's head have been found." Li Da said.

"Bring the people up."

The two little eunuchs were lifted up like little chickens by the two guards outside the arch.

"Are you the ones guarding the Jewelry Pavilion?"

"Back, back to the emperor, yes."

"Since Agate's head and face are missing, why were you not seen during the interrogation just now?"

"The two slaves felt uncomfortable in their stomachs and went to the toilet. When they came back, they heard that the agate head and face were missing..."

"Not only did you leave your post without permission, but you even paid no attention to such a major event as the loss of your agate head and face. What is the use of me supporting you two!" Concubine Shu shouted angrily upon hearing this.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me, My Majesty, please forgive me..."

"Come here, drag them two down and kill them with sticks." Emperor Yan Qian said in a deep voice with a wave of his hand.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please forgive me. I know who took it. I beg Your Majesty to give me a chance to forgive my sin. Please don't kill me..."

Emperor Yan Gan raised his hand to signal the imperial guards to stop: "Really? Can you tell me who took it?"

"Yes, the Queen took it!"

"Did you see it with your own eyes?"

"No, but the person I recognize the queen is Xiaoyue, the maid next to the queen. She is the only one who has been to the Zhenbao Pavilion today. She said that the queen knew that Concubine Shu had obtained a set of agate heads and faces, and wanted to make one according to the pattern, so she came over to have a look. , the slave let her go without much thought... and then the agate head and face disappeared."

Xiaoyue was brought up, and before Emperor Yan Qian could ask questions, she admitted it herself: "Your Majesty, all this has nothing to do with the servants, the Queen ordered me to do this."

"Xiaoyue, you..." The queen looked at Xiaoyue on the ground, her eyes full of shock and disbelief.

Xiaoyue, who was kneeling on the ground, raised her eyes to glance at the Queen, then quickly lowered her head. She did not dare to look directly into the Queen's eyes.

Emperor Yan Qian had a cold look on his face. He wanted to embarrass Xu Ruqing and give King Wei a blow, but who knew that he would be slapped in the face in the end?

"Come here, take the queen down and imprison her. She will be fasted for one day and grounded for three months. No one is allowed to visit her without my permission!"

The queen's heart collapsed instantly. She was grounded for three months. What's the difference between this and being thrown into the cold palace? You have to know that a lot of things can happen in three months. Her chances are slim to begin with. If she does this, she will never have any chance in the future. Cheng En's chance.

She hugged Emperor Yan Gan's thigh and wailed: "Your Majesty, I am wronged..."

Emperor Yan Qian didn't even look at him. Even after he was taken away, he could still hear the queen shouting injustice from a distance.

"Now that Agate's head has been found, this matter is over. I still have important matters to deal with and will not accompany you. Please continue."

Seeing that Emperor Yan Qian was about to leave, Xu Ruqing called out to him: "Your Majesty, please stay."

Emperor Yan Qian turned around and looked at her impatiently: "Why are you calling me?"

"Concubine Shu's agate head and face have been recovered, but my wife's lost items have not yet been recovered."

Emperor Yan Qian frowned and felt a bad premonition in his heart: "What is it?"

"Of course it is my wife's innocence. The emperor just questioned in front of all the ministers and officials that the loss of the agate head and face was closely related to my wife, which caused my wife to be wronged for nothing. This caused a lot of negative impact on my reputation and psychology. Impact. Now that the truth is out, should the emperor give his wife an explanation? "How can we do this without getting some benefits from causing her to be wronged in vain?"

Emperor Yan Qian was so angry that he took a breath from his chest. He knew that this Xu Ruqing was not an economical lamp. "It is true that I did not consider this matter... Come here, bring up the Bingcui I brought back from Tubo." Give it to Princess Wei as a comfort!"
