Hsinchu pointed to the door of the house where the purple jade bracelet was found and asked, "Whose house is this?"

Ning Jia and others were stunned.

Hsinchu asked again, louder.

"Yes, it belongs to my slave." Fang Qi stepped forward and knelt down.

"Fangqi, since I got it from your house, go back to the Empress with me," Hsinchu said.

"Yes..." Fangqi responded, got up and walked away from Hsinchu.

"Fangqi!" Fangrong stepped forward and grabbed Fangqi and said urgently.

"Fang Rong, don't worry, the Queen will make a fair decision." Fang Qi patted her hand and said.

"Third Princess!" Fangrong quickly turned around and called Ning Jia.

Ning Jia also looked at Fang Qi.

"How is that possible?" Ning Jia was surprised to hear that her words were actually directed at herself.

Then he said to Jin Wen: "What did you hear last night? Tell everyone!"

Now that Ning Yang's words were directed at Ning Jia, Queen Yizhuang couldn't protect her. She turned to Fang Qi and said sternly: "Fang Qi, why is this purple jade bracelet in your cage? Why don't you hurry up and get it truthfully?"

Fang Rong and Fang Qi cried loudly and were wronged.

Concubine Ye glanced at her sideways: "Why are you so anxious?"

"Isn't that what you mean? I think you just want to protect this bitch!" Ningyang refused to forgive, turning to Queen Yizhuang and saying, "Mother, this bitch is so bold and dares to steal my princess's things.

You must be punished severely!"

"No, no..." Fang Qi said hurriedly.

"Second sister..." Ning Jia just opened her mouth, but Ning Yang suddenly said "Ah!", pointed at Fang Qi in realization and said, "I know! You accidentally spilled the tea yesterday, right?

"

Ning Jia then sat down under Concubine Cheng.

"Yes, Ning Yang, don't say nonsense if there is no basis." Concubine Ye also said slowly.

"No, second sister, you, don't talk nonsense..." Ning Jia was at a loss for words.

"Yes." Jin Wen responded, "I told you to hide the bracelet you got back."

"Yes, mother..." Ning Jia responded and sat back on Concubine Cheng's side.

When Fangrong heard such nonsense, she immediately said angrily: "Jin Wen! You are such a slanderer!"

"Mother," Ning Jia stood up, knelt down and saluted Queen Yizhuang, and said softly, "Fang Qi has always been diligent and diligent in her duties. Please be aware of this."

"Mother, this is just a misunderstanding. Fangqi will not do such a thing." Ning Jia said.

Then he hurriedly kowtowed to Queen Yizhuang: "The Queen knows clearly that Fang Rong has no such intention!"

Queen Yizhuang said to Fang Qi and Fang Rong: "The trial will end here today. You two go to the prison cell to reflect. If you repent and confess, you can be given a lighter sentence. If you are lucky, I will eventually find out, and the crime will be increased."

Wait."

"What are you hiding?" Queen Yizhuang asked.

"Ning Jia is here? Sit down." Queen Yizhuang said to Ning Jia who just walked in.

Fangqi was still sitting on the cold and hard ground weeping when she suddenly heard the sound of the lock being opened and was startled: Could it be that there was going to be another trial?

The door opened, and it was Concubine Ye who walked in.

"Third sister!" Before Queen Yizhuang could answer, Ning Yang had already stood up and walked to Fang Qi's side. He looked at Ning Jia with an air of grandeur and said, "Now that all the stolen goods have been found, what else can I do wrong? Could it be that I am wronged?"

Is this princess going to falsely accuse a little slave?"

Fangrong stared at her with angry eyes. Regardless of the pain in his body, he rushed forward and grabbed Jin Wen's neck. He gritted his teeth and said, "I'll make you talk nonsense!"

Ning Yang stood up in a hurry and pointed at Fang Qi and Fang Rong who were kneeling on the ground: "You dare to refuse to plead guilty when the personal and material evidence is right in front of you. Are you not afraid of royal punishment?"

Ning Yang and Concubine Ye returned to Jingye Palace. Ning Yang couldn't help but said: "Mom, they don't want to admit it, what should I do now?"

"I knew she wouldn't be so kind, she had planned it all!" Fang Rong said bitterly.

"Fangqi, you only said that you were wronged, but this purple jade bracelet was found in your box. How do you say that?" Queen Yizhuang said to Fangqi seriously.

Ning Yang greeted her and said, "I'm going to change my clothes. I'll be back in a moment."

"Let's go quickly. When we meet the Queen, we can tell the truth." Hsinchu said.

Jin Wen came in and knelt down.

Jinwen replied: "The second princess invited the third princess to Xuyang Palace that day. Fangrong told Fangqi behind the flowers and trees that she must get the purple jade bracelet back today. Then Fangqi also said that this was a good opportunity...

…”

Fangqi bowed hesitantly: "Concubine Ye."

Immediately ordered: "Two of them will each be hit with twenty boards!"

"Yes, I, I know." Ning Jia also started crying.

Fangqi also choked and cried, her eyes filled with tears.

"No," Fang Qi's eyes widened and she shook her head, "How dare you do such a thing?"

Ning Yang grabbed it and said with a smile, "Thank you very much."

Queen Yizhuang nodded and asked Jin Wen, "Is there anything else?"

Meng Tingyu saluted, took out a sachet and handed it to Ning Yang: "Fourth brother said he would give this to you."

Fangrong cried and said she was wronged.

Then he asked: "How is the situation with Lieutenant Meng?"

Fangrong supported Ning Jia, and the two hurried to Dezhuang Palace.

"Ning Jia, come back and sit down." Concubine Cheng said to Ning Jia.

"Fangqi must have been wronged!" Fangrong said, "The second princess must have done something to her!"

"Third sister, you must also like this purple jade bracelet, right?" Ning Yang said to Ning Jia.

Queen Yizhuang said: "Jin Wen, if you lie, you know how powerful the palace rules are!"

Then he said to Queen Yizhuang: "She two are so contemptuous of the king's laws and palace rules, I hope the queen will notice clearly!"

The tributes paid to the princes and princesses by the Mingdan Kingdom that day were arranged personally by Queen Yizhuang, how could she not know?

Ningyang had a sharp and domineering personality. Emperor Yongping felt sorry for Ningjia's injustice, and specifically said that he would give this purple jade bracelet to the third princess Ningjia.

Fangqi also fell to the ground and cried: "There is absolutely no such thing. I am really unjust."

Not long after, a palace maid was indeed brought in, and it was indeed Jianjia Palace Jinwen.

Ning Yang snorted: "You are so stubborn! There are witnesses and material evidence, but you still dare to deny it? I wanted to give you a chance to be lenient, but it seems that you won't shed tears until you see the coffin!"

"Mother," Ning Yang said to Queen Yizhuang, "if Third Sister really likes this purple jade bracelet, you can tell me directly and I can return it to her. Anyway, this was originally given to Third Sister by the Emperor."

"Mother," Ning Yang said to Queen Yizhuang again, "these two girls are very cunning and will not be honest without some punishment."

"Unjustly accused!" Fangrong cried.

Concubine Ye went out from the back door of Xuyang Palace Garden and came all the way to the prison cell.

Seeing this, Fangrong knelt down and said: "Queen, even if Fangrong has ten courages, she would never dare to steal the second princess's things!"

Ning Yang looked at the contents inside and showed a satisfied smile.

"Misunderstanding?" Ning Yang snorted, "What misunderstanding?"

"Fangqi," Concubine Ye said, "stealing tribute items is not a light crime, you should know that."

"Thank you for your hard work, sister. Please sit down for a while." Ning Yang said.

After speaking, he entered the inner room and handed the sachet to Concubine Ye who had been waiting here.

It was inevitable that the two would exchange confessions, and Fangqi and Fangrong were imprisoned in different cells.

Concubine Ye snorted coldly: "Since you all just cry out that you are wronged, if there is no concrete evidence, I don't think you will accept the crime obediently."

Queen Yizhuang frowned: "Ningyang, sit down."

"Second sister, I, that's not what I meant..." Ning Jia said suddenly.

"Ningyang," Queen Yizhuang said with a frown, "step back."

"Every word of Jin Wen is true!" Jin Wen kowtowed, "If there is even half a lie, let it be dealt with by the palace rules!"

Several palace maids embraced Fang Qi, walked out of the Jianjia Palace gate, and headed to Dezhuang Palace.

He looked at Fangqi and Fangrong, and then said: "That day, after the third princess gave the purple jade bracelet to the second princess, Fangrong was very angry and said a lot of unfair things."

"It is said that it must be hidden so that no one can see it." Jin Wen said.

"Don't you dare?" Ning Yang turned to Ning Jia and hummed, "How can you, a slave, be so bold? Someone must have instigated you, right?"
