Chapter 1047 Nian Nian would not do such a despicable thing
Although the palace banquet was noisy, Princess Yun'an had been paying attention to Gu Jinxiao, so she naturally recognized this little palace maid and asked coldly, "I remember you. Minister Gu followed you out at that time."
"Tell me, who instructed you to do this and slander my fourth sister?!"
At this moment, Princess Yun'an still firmly believed that Princess Qingyang was wronged.
All the palace servants who served the Fourth Prince's first birthday banquet were carefully selected by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. However, there were too many eunuchs and palace maids serving at the palace banquet, and even the Ministry of Internal Affairs could not ensure that everyone had no problems.
After this incident happened, Xiao Zhouzi teamed up with Hu Zhongcai to thoroughly investigate the backgrounds of both men.
The young eunuch was named Xiao Anzi, and the young palace maid was named Tao Le. What they had in common was that they had both received favors from Concubine Rong.
Concubine Rong is the mother of Princess Qingyang.
Xiao Anzi and Taole helped Princess Qingyang do this just to repay her kindness, they were not assassins.
After the incident, when Xiao Zhouzi came up to them, the two of them were frightened before he even mentioned Su Quanye's name.
Princess Qingyang had clearly assured them time and again that this matter would not be discovered and they would not be in any danger!
How come Concubine Chen noticed it in such a short time?
At this moment, seeing Princess Yun'an's harsh words, Tao Le was frightened and cried. She knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, saying, "Princess Yun'an, please forgive me! Princess Yun'an, please forgive me! No one ordered me to do this, and I did not wrongly accuse Princess Qingyang. I just explained the matter truthfully..."
"I don't want to die! I really don't want to die..."
As she spoke, she crawled towards Princess Qingyang and begged, "Princess Qingyang, you said you would not let anything happen to me, please save me!"
Xiao Anzi also knelt beside him and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, please spare my life! Please, Concubine Chen, please spare my life!"
Princess Qingyang kept shedding tears, her beautiful face full of grievance: "Brother, I don't know them at all. I really don't know why they want to pick on me for no reason, wuwuwu..."
She cried and bit her lips, looking aggrieved and helpless. She seemed to not understand why she had suffered such an unexpected disaster when she only came to the palace to attend the Fourth Prince's first birthday banquet.
On one side are two lowly slaves, and on the other is her sister whom she has loved since childhood. Princess Yun'an certainly believes Princess Qingyang.
She glanced at Shen Zhinian coldly, then suppressed her anger and said to Nangong Xuanyu: "Brother, what can the words of these two slaves prove?"
"We grew up together. Don't you know what kind of person Qingyang is? I beg you not to be deceived by others and wrongly accuse Qingyang!"
Princess Qingyang threw herself into Princess Yun'an's arms, crying until she almost passed out: "Wow... Third sister, I'm so scared, I'm really scared... Fortunately, you are here..."
Princess Yun'an has always valued sibling love, and now seeing her sister, whom she has always protected, being bullied like this, she couldn't help but get furious!
She hugged Princess Qingyang, patted her back soothingly, and said firmly: "Qingyang, don't be afraid! I am here, and I will always protect you!"
Looking at this touching sisterhood, a sneer appeared on Shen Zhinian's lips.
I just wonder if Princess Yun'an will feel herself to be extremely stupid when she recalls how she protected Princess Qingyang after the truth comes out?
Would you want to slap yourself twice?
Nangong Xuanyu initially thought that Princess Yun'an had acted impulsively and done something foolish.
He never expected that this was done by Princess Qingyang, who was always lively, cute and likable.
If this matter was told by someone else, Nangong Xuanyu would certainly not believe it. He might even wonder if the other party had other purposes and deliberately framed Princess Qingyang in order to destroy her.
But he believed that Nian Nian would not do such a despicable thing. Besides, she had no grudge against Qingyang, so why would she go to such great lengths to frame Qingyang?
Nangong Xuanyu did not say this out loud, but said: "Is it Qingyang who did something shameful, or is it Concubine Chen who wronged her? I will only look at the evidence to determine right and wrong."
Shen Zhinian looked at Xiao Anzi and Tao Le who were kneeling on the ground, and said slowly: "Tell us everything you know."
Her tone was calm, but it carried the oppressive feeling that only a superior could have, which made people feel more intimidated than Princess Yun'an, who spoke harshly.
Xiao Anzi and Taole did not dare to hide anything, and repeated what they had told Xiao Zhouzi: "… To reply to the Imperial Concubine Chen, eight years ago, when I first entered the palace, I had no one to rely on."
"In order to seize the salary I just received, the eunuch in charge falsely accused me of stealing his things and wanted to have me sent to the Ministry of Punishment to be punished according to palace rules."
"It was Concubine Rong who passed by and felt sorry for me, so she ordered someone to find out the truth about this matter. That’s how I was able to save my life."
"I have always remembered this kindness in my heart and wanted to find an opportunity to repay it. However, after the death of the late emperor, Concubine Rong went to the royal temple to practice."
"So today, Princess Qingyang asked me to wait outside the Imperial Garden. When I saw Minister Gu coming out, I went up to him and listened to his instructions, and went to the carriage to get him clothes. When the time was right, I tried to make a noise and lure all the guests in the Imperial Garden over."
"I thought about the kindness that Concubine Rong had shown me in the past, and I couldn't resist Princess Qingyang's request, so I agreed..."
"I was really just confused for a moment, I didn't know Princess Qingyang had planned so much, please spare my life, Your Majesty! Please spare my life, Concubine Chen!"
Xiao Zhouzi sneered beside him.
If he had not acted quickly enough and caught Xiao Anzi in time, the Fourth Prince’s first birthday banquet tonight would have been disrupted.
This dog slave still has the nerve to beg for mercy?
Feeling the cold breath around Shen Zhinian, Tao Le was so scared that she confessed everything: "I used to be a maid in the palace of Concubine Rong. One time, I fell ill and thought I would die in the palace. It was Concubine Rong who showed mercy and asked the imperial physician to prescribe medicine for me. I survived."
"Although I am grateful for the kindness of Concubine Rong, I am more mindful of the palace rules. I have promised Concubine Rong that as long as she does not violate the rules, I am willing to go through fire and water for her!"
"But Concubine Rong did not ask me to do anything. She just ordered me to follow Princess Qingyang when she was about to go to the royal temple to practice."
"Today, Princess Qingyang gave me a packet of medicine and asked me to put it in Minister Gu's wine, dirty his clothes, and lead him to the rockery in the imperial garden."
