Chapter 201 If you want to incriminate yourself, why bother?
"Mammy, have you ever heard that it is easy to find a pretext to accuse someone of a crime?" Ji Chuhe asked with a smile.
Nanny Tian choked.
Isn't this their trick?
In a blink of an eye, Ji Chuhe retaliated against the man in his own way.
"Madam Tian, a palace maid stole something, but instead of investigating it thoroughly, you put the blame on someone from Prince Huaiyang's Mansion. What is your intention? How dare a dog slave look down on Prince Huaiyang's Mansion like this? On whose power does he rely? Or in other words, who instructed you to do this?" Ji Chuhe asked a series of questions in a sharp tone.
With these two accusations of frame-up and neglect of the Huaiyang Palace, Nanny Tian has already stepped one foot into the underworld!
Madam Tian panicked, "It was Aunt Xu who stole the things! You can't deny it!"
She could only insist on this.
Ji Chuhe chuckled.
It seems that the two hats just put on were not harsh enough.
"Then arrest all these palace servants. Anyone who can touch the crystal plate is a suspect! We will meet the Queen and the Queen Mother together and get to the bottom of this matter!" Ji Chuhe said without any doubt.
"All affairs of the palace are under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Concubine." How could Nanny Tian allow the incident to escalate?
"Frame-up and neglect of the Huaiyang Palace are such serious charges. I'm afraid the Imperial Concubine is not qualified to judge the case." Ji Chuhe asked back forcefully.
"What kind of frame-up and neglect of the Huaiyang Palace? You are just making up lies to accuse me!" Nanny Tian was so anxious that her face turned red and her neck became thick.
"Everyone knows that the Princess of Huaiyang and her family went to the imperial capital to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday. It was the Emperor's grace, and the Emperor's grace allowed the family members to enter the palace to rest. But you framed them in the blink of an eye! Did you frame the Huaiyang Palace? You are disrespecting the Emperor and the imperial power! Do you think your life is too long? You even want to sacrifice all your nine clans to accompany you in the underworld!"
When these words were spoken, all the palace maids in the palace trembled with fear.
Just now he was framed for neglecting Prince Huaiyang, but in the blink of an eye, he was accused of contempt for the Emperor!
They can't afford these charges! Nine clans are not enough to be involved!
“I’m afraid there is something else going on here?” Ji Chuhe glanced at the people one by one. “With just a few of you servants, you wouldn’t dare to bully the emperor even if you had the courage of a bear or a leopard! There must be a master backing you up!”
"Madam, you...what do you mean by this!" Nanny Tian's eyes were full of fear.
Isn't this a reference to the Imperial Concubine?
Ji Chuhe is so brave!
“Looking around the imperial capital, everyone knows that the Imperial Concubine has a feud with my mother. The Imperial Concubine may find it difficult to justify herself.” Ji Chuhe was not hinting at it, she said it directly!
"You...you actually dared to falsely accuse the Imperial Concubine!" Nanny Tian was so angry that she couldn't breathe!
I simply couldn't believe that a mere prince's wife had the guts to openly challenge the imperial concubine!
"Whether it is a false accusation or not, we can go to the Empress Dowager and make our own statements, and the result will tell!"
Ji Chuhe bet that Concubine Luo did not want to make a big deal out of it.
Otherwise, he would not have chosen Xu Yan'er among the two concubines to operate on, but not touched Dong Ling who was pregnant.
They are now barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes.
Let’s see who is more daring!
There are ways to play without making a big fuss.
Even if things get out of hand, there are ways to make them out of hand!
It all depends on the Imperial Concubine's preference!
"Madame Tian!" a voice suddenly rang out.
The person who came was a middle-aged woman wearing palace dress.
She was the top maid in Jianzhang Palace.
He is in charge of all palace affairs and is Concubine Luo's right-hand man. His name is Lichun.
She walked up to the princess and knelt down to salute, "This servant greets the Princess Huaiyang."
The princess glanced at Lichun coldly and asked directly, "What new tricks does your master have?"
Lichun's face froze, and she smiled apologetically and said, "As soon as the Imperial Concubine heard about what happened in the palace, she immediately sent me here. The Imperial Concubine said that there must be a misunderstanding, and she will definitely find out. She also asked Princess Huaiyang to return to the Duke of Rong's Mansion to reunite with her family. Within three days, she will give Princess Huaiyang a satisfactory answer."
This is a delaying tactic.
Today, as long as they leave the palace, it will be difficult to explain this matter clearly.
Three people make a tiger, and people’s words are scary!
"Such a small matter still requires three days? Is this how Your Majesty the Imperial Concubine usually helps Your Majesty the Empress in managing the six palaces?" the princess asked unceremoniously.
Lichun was speechless for a moment and couldn't find any words to respond.
"Aunt, my mother is still wasting her time with you out of consideration for the old relationship between her and the Imperial Concubine. Please show some sincerity and resolve this matter properly today! If it cannot be resolved properly, we will go see the Empress and the Empress Dowager!" Ji Chuhe's attitude was very tough.
Lichun's expression turned even uglier, and she smiled at the princess apologetically, "Princess, please allow me to ask Nanny Tian for the details first."
"Okay." The princess nodded.
Lichun immediately took Nanny Tian out.
"Lichun, is the imperial concubine very angry?" Nanny Tian asked hurriedly.
"What do you think? How can you not handle such a small matter properly?"
"Is the news from Huaiyang wrong? Isn't this concubine Xu the most disliked by the princess and the prince's wife? They actually confronted the imperial concubine for a concubine. This is really incomprehensible. Shouldn't we take this opportunity to deal with this eyesore?"
"It is useless to say more now! This matter must not be brought to the attention of the Empress and the Queen Mother."
"What should we do then?" Nanny Tian was undecided.
She has been rampant in the palace for so many years, relying on the power of the imperial concubine, but she has never suffered such a loss!
Moreover, it is an obvious loss that cannot be avoided!
Ji Chuhe said at the beginning that if you want to accuse someone of a crime, you can always find a pretext.
"Pull out a palace maid to take the blame." Lichun said impatiently.
"It can only be the."
The two men discussed a countermeasure and returned to the hall again.
The princess and Ji Chuhe were already sitting in the main seats, while Xiao Yan'an, Xu Yan'er and Dong Ling were sitting in the chairs on the left.
All the servants in the mansion stood behind Xiao Yan'an.
On the opposite right stood the palace maid brought by Nanny Tian.
The two groups of people are clearly divided.
The people in the palace are in a threatening manner. Looking at the palace maids, they were so arrogant just now, but now they are like eggplants hit by frost.
They have been in the palace for so many years, how could they not know that the masters fight openly and secretly, and in the end it is the servants like them who take the blame and die!
Lichun and Nanny Tian walked into the hall one after another and saluted the princess again.
"Princess, I have asked Nanny Tian about the situation and have pondered over the details. The palace maids are indeed suspects. I will take these palace maids away and interrogate them first." Lichun said, looking at the palace maids.
Immediately, eunuchs came in and pulled them out.
These palace maids kept their lips tightly shut, not even making a sound to call for help or to defend themselves.
