50 Cold Hearted (1/2)

”If you want to exchange lover's gaze, please wait till later, I am still doing serious investigating here.” Ye Zhen Zhen suddenly said.

Xian Concubine closed her mouth.

”Therefore this cloth is from the guards office, and was given to the guards. Not something made by Sun Gui Ren, also not taken off from the soldier, also not possible that Sun Gui Ren got someone to get it for her to gift him — this type of present the other has plenty, how would she be gift him these. Then all is left is one possibility” Ye Zhen Zhen stopped and took a sip of tea.

”What is the possibility?” Ji Wu Jiu asked.

”Most probably it was the guard got muddle head and placed his new clothes here at Sun Gui Ren's room, and ask her to help him keep it first. ” Although this might not be really possible but at this moment this should be the only reason left.

Sun Gui Ren thought that there was hope, but started crying again ”I am framed!!”

”You close your mouth” Ye Zhen Zhen frowned, ”all you said was that sentence, so bothersome… Xian Concubine, what do you think about my explanation, can it be accepted?”

Xian Concubine replied while nodding ”It seems like this could only be the reason, your majesty is wise”

”Wrong” Ye Zhen Zhen laughed, ”I am wise, but that explanation was a huge mistake. This cloths is identical with the guards clothings, that is true, but it is not any of the palace's guards cloths”

Hearing her explanation, even Ji Wu Jiu got shocked, ”Why are you so sure?”

”Your majesty have you forgotten? All the guards in the palace have identity numbers, this number is given to the guards to keep track of their identity and this number is sew on to the collar of their clothes. Normally it can't be seen properly, but if something unfortunate were to happen, it is useful to differentiate their identity then.”

Ji Wu Jiu looked at Ye Zhen Zhen ”of course I know the guards have identity numbers, I didn't know it was sew on the collar”

”Your majesty, you are so busy with the court matters, of course it would be normal for you to be not clear with these matters” Ye Zhen Zhen said and flipped the clothes again, ”The collar of this cloth do not have any numbers, surely it was stolen before reaching the guard's office, at the finance department.”

Finance Department was mentioned again, Xian Concubine's face is almost green in colour.

”I daresay, Sun Gui Ren perhaps you have offended someone, that person wanted you to die, so they thought of something so evil, that implicated the emperor's name, such evil people. However this plan has so many faults, Xian Concubine did not properly investigate and made you took the fault, and did not put the emperor's pride into account, it was a little too foolish. ”Ye Zhen Zhen said and smiled at Xian Concubine.

Xian Concubine immediately kneeled ” Your majesty, I was too anxious to protect your face, and wanted to quickly settle the case. Although the evidence is not trustworthy, there is still the witness, Xiao Zhu said she it herself?” And she looked at Xiao Zhu, in her heart thinking, as long as Xiao Zhu kept on saying she saw what happened, then even without the evidence, according to Ji Wu Jiu's personality surely he would not end it easily.

”Really, I saw it personally” Xiao Zhu immediately said.

”Really? Su Feng?”

”I am here”, Su Feng walked over, in her hands there was a pouch, and was brought forward to Ye Zhen Zhen. ” Your majesty, I gotten this from Xiao Zhu's living quarter.”

Xiao Zhu upon seeing that item, her face changed, without any strength left in her, she just sat on the floor.

Ye Zhen Zhen took the pouch, opened and search through, besides the quite a sum of money, there was also a good grade jewelry, she looked through the pouch again and looked at Xiao Zhu, ”you are just a small maid servant, where did you get so much money and these jewelries?” Surely you didn't steal them did you?”

”No, no , no,.. I didn't.. ” Xiao Zhu shook her head and denied.
