C70 Interrogation (1/2)

”After entering the palace, Pu Xin found out that the Emperor was summoning the two of you, so he took a walk around the Imperial Garden.” Pu Xin's expression did not change as he explained, ”Coincidentally, the old lady at home always wants to see the peony in full bloom in the autumn, so Pu Xin boldly picked it and went back to show it to the old lady.”

Just as he finished speaking, Luo Yan, who was at the side, took a step forward, revealing the peony in his chest. Luo Yan carefully wrapped the few flowers in his clothes, and stuffed them into his bosom.

Under the bright sunlight, the bright red petals appeared even more beautiful.

When Huai Jin saw the flower, she felt that there was always a smell of blood on the tip of her nose that would not dissipate.

Yuwen Fei secretly frowned, and laughed: ”The palace has always said that these flowers were raised using blood, and only after the season has passed did they still bloom. The duke was also generous. How dare he present such a tainted item in front of the old woman? ”

Pu Xin shook his head helplessly, ”I believe that the Seventh Prince knows about the madame's personality, so why would he believe it? She just treated it as fresh air, and after seeing it, it would be fine.”

Speaking of the old lady from the Mansion of Xibo Marquis, Huai Jin thought of the thing that Yuwen Fei had told him on the hunting grounds.

After all the men in the house had died in battle, a woman had shouldered everyone by herself and had accurately judged the situation. She had instructed the men in the house to abandon their martial arts, and this boldness alone was admirable.

Furthermore, from the Xibo Marquis's Martial General Family, he reckoned that this old lady was also a hero when she was young. She had seen a lot of great scenes, so she probably wouldn't care about all these.

”The marquis is filial, the madame will be happy if she thinks she's filial.” Yuwen Fei glanced at the peony and said: ”Since Master Hou has matters to report to royal father, I will not delay any further.”

Pu Xin cupped his hands and bowed again, then turned and left with Luo Yan.

After this interruption, Yuwen Fei and Huai Jin took up a lot of time. By the time the two of them reached Jubilee Palace, the empress dowager was already waiting for them at the main hall.

Her Majesty sat at the head of the table, sipping her tea slowly and looking at the time chosen by the overseer on the table. In the recent days, the emperor had already set a date to wrap it in cinnabar.

”Your majesty has put in a lot of effort.” Yang mama looked at the days when they were surrounded by cinnabar and sighed in his heart. Although there was some distance between the emperor and the empress dowager, they still had some respect for the empress dowager.

After all, at the heart of the struggle, to be able to resist the opinions of the ministers and officials of the imperial court and to have the matter of the Grand Princess being buried was a testament to the Emperor's intentions.

When the empress dowager heard this, she gave a cold snort and said lightly, ”He put his heart into it. If he didn't put his heart into it, he wouldn't have let An Ping and Fei'er question me. Instead, he hid behind the scenes.”

The corner of the Yang mama's mouth moved for a moment, but in the end he sighed and did not say a word.

Fei Shen sat in the main hall for a while, but the empress dowager was already a little tired. She lazily waved her hand and ordered people to escort her back to the inner rooms. When instructing the Yang mama and the other two to come, just hand him over.

Just as Yuwen Fei and Huai Jin arrived at Jubilee Palace one after the other, they saw that Yang mama was already waiting at the door with a palace maid. The palace maid was tied up and tied up. His eyelids were opened with great effort, and he stood there swaying as if he would collapse at any moment.

The duo walked up, confused by the situation.

The Yang mama bowed to the two of them, then said: ”Yesterday, it was this palace maid who reminded the empress dowager that Princess Ping Yang mentioned the Cloud Locking Pavilion when she was still alive. Although Esteemed Empress Dowager does not know what happened, guessing is still an extremely important matter. He had questioned the servants by his side a long time ago, so only he looked suspicious. ”

Due to the ”cooperation” from the Esteemed Empress Dowager, the case against Su Geying went extremely smoothly. Seeing the palace maids kneeling below, Yuwen Jue's brows could not help but twitch.

Pu Xin, on the other hand, sat on the other side with a peaceful expression and drank his tea, coughing softly from time to time.

Yuwen Fei also casually found a seat and sat down, with a look of ”let me do it”. I have already done it, the rest of it does not concern me anymore.

Yuwen Jue looked at Pu Xin, then looked at Yuwen Fei, and shook his head. Finally, his gaze shifted to Huai Jin.
