An Lingrong's Rebirth: Red

When everyone looked carefully, they saw that there were indeed some gray and black marks on the fragments, and they couldn't help but begin to believe what Xiao Yinzi said.

Jianqiu then placed these evidences on a tray and presented them to the Queen, Concubine Hua and others for them to look at one by one.

Now that we have the witnesses and evidence, it depends on whether Zhen Huan can find someone to testify for her.

"Zhen Changzai, please explain these fragments."

These fragments were indeed burned by Zhen Huan, but she did not want to admit it at this time. After all, what Xiao Yinzi said about the beating and killing was completely false.

I think these so-called love poems were also written by someone imitating the handwriting of Prince Guo, in order to use the previous barefoot swimming incident to make the emperor suspicious of him again.

The only thing to do now is to focus on the person who delivered the letter. As long as he is caught, he can clear his name.

"Your Majesty, I have no idea who sent this letter to Yuedi Yunju.

Moreover, the handwriting was not from anyone in the palace. Someone must have imitated someone else's handwriting and deliberately framed me.

Please be careful and catch the person who sent the letter and framed me."

Zhen Huan lowered her head and thought quickly about who had done this. She had already sent Xiao Yunzi to monitor the situation in Yuedi Yunju, but she had not caught the person who sent the letter.

He thought of monitoring Kang Luhai and his men, but they always evaded him.

I don’t know who is directing them behind the scenes, causing me to always be a step behind in discovering the truth.

"If you want to catch the person who sent the letter, you must first know who wrote it.

This letter paper looks like Kaihua paper to me. It is something used by the emperor and ordinary people cannot touch it. "

Jingpin has been in charge of the affairs of the six palaces during this period, and she is very familiar with the imperial items.

The queen touched the paper. Although it was thin, it was very tough, white and had a very fine texture. It was undoubtedly Kaihua paper.

There were only a few people in the palace who could use this paper. Considering the man related to Zhen Changzai, it would not arouse any suspicion when the Queen brought up Prince Guo at this time.

"Jianqiu, bring me that fan and compare the handwriting."

The fan was soon presented to her. The Queen carefully compared the handwriting, sighed after a while, and asked Zhen Huan to take a look at it herself.

Zhen Huan was very familiar with the handwriting on the fan, and combined with the name on the signature, Zhen Huan could be completely sure that those letters were written by Prince Guo.

"Some time ago, Prince Guo sent two folding fans he painted to the palace, and he also wrote poems on them.

Zhen Changzai, are the handwritings of these two the same? "

Zhen Huan was silent for a while before she raised her head slightly to reply, but her eyes were still on the paper, trying to find the difference, "...at first glance, they are very similar."

"Look carefully," Concubine Hua always looked down on Zhen Huan's pretending to be innocent, and she always spoke with full of sarcasm, "Look carefully at every stroke, or you will cry and complain that others have falsely accused you."

While Concubine Hua was talking, Zhen Huan carefully looked at the two pieces of calligraphy. However, there were very few verses on the fan, and only two words overlapped with those on the letter.

But after careful comparison, they are indeed exactly the same, as if they were directly copied.

"It is indeed very similar. Perhaps someone copied Prince Guo's handwriting."

"It hasn't even been confirmed that it was written by Prince Guo, but Concubine Zhen is already rushing to explain herself." Concubine Li had made great efforts in today's matter. Seeing Zhen Huan's eagerness to explain, she was extremely happy, "Could it be that the previous rumors were all true?"

When Zhen Huan heard Concubine Li mention the previous incident, she suddenly felt something was wrong. It was true that she was seen playing barefoot in the water by Prince Guo, and it was also true that Prince Guo wrote poems to tease her.

If these gossipy women really took advantage of the situation, her innocence would be completely ruined.

"What happened before was nothing but some groundless rumors. The emperor has already issued an order to punish the person who spread the rumor. Lipin should take it as a warning."

Zhen Huan always wins in verbal battles, but she obviously forgets that Concubine Hua looks down on her the most.

Now we have to bring up the fact that Concubine Hua was reprimanded and demoted by the Emperor for spreading rumors. Wouldn't that anger Concubine Hua and make her try every means to get rid of her?

Lingrong glanced at Concubine Hua and saw that she had a gloomy face and was tapping her fingers on the table, as if a storm was about to come.

"I didn't expect that Zhen Changzai has some of the aura of a concubine. When she talks to Lipin, she doesn't care about the difference between superior and inferior."

Concubine Hua spoke slowly, she glanced at Zhen Huan, then glanced at Concubine Li who lost her momentum after being criticized, "Concubine Zhen knows the right and wrong better than any of the sisters present.

I guess even Concubine Zhen wouldn't dare to swear to heaven that she has no relationship with Prince Guo."

Zhen Huan opened her mouth. Although she did not take the initiative to seduce, the matter was indeed a done deal.

The palace was silent for a long time before the queen slowly spoke, "The handwriting of this letter is from Prince Guo. Why don't we inform the emperor and Prince Guo and have a thorough check?"

Hearing that the emperor was to be summoned, Zhen Huan and Concubine Hua were obviously hesitant. Shen Meizhuang, who was watching from the side, also began to suspect that the letter was indeed evidence of a private exchange between Zhen Huan and Prince Guo.

"Empress, why don't you... send someone to ask at Prince Guo's mansion first? Once everything is clear, it won't be too late to report to the Emperor."

Shen Meizhuang’s idea was simple. If this matter was false, it would be best to resolve it before the emperor knew about it.

Even if the emperor heard some rumors later, he would not be disappointed in Huan'er.

If this is true, while the emperor is unaware of the situation, Huan'er can push all the blame onto Prince Guo and there will be a chance to save her life.

The Queen did not expect that Shen Meizhuang was so stupid that she gave Concubine Hua the opportunity to pin the blame of having an affair on Zhen Huan.

"Because the Queen Mother had just arranged a marriage for Prince Guo, she kept the prince in the garden, so it was much easier to ask about this matter.

Since Concubine Hui said so, Jianqiu, take Concubine Zhen's... head aunt over there and go to ask Prince Guo."

The Queen deliberately asked the palace maids who served Zhen Huan to follow her, just to prevent Zhen Huan from having any doubts when she learned that Prince Guo admitted everything.

Jiaoyue is his own person, so he can let her say whatever he wants.

Upon hearing that Prince Guo was in the Old Summer Palace, Zhen Huan became even more flustered.

But she quickly calmed herself down. After all, the letters were all written by Prince Guo, and at most she was being harassed by him, which did not constitute a personal relationship at all.

Zhen Huan made up her mind that in order to protect herself, she had to give up Prince Guo even if she still had feelings for him.

He would only drag himself into the abyss. His so-called feelings were probably just lust. After all, he had stared at his feet and said some teasing words under the influence of alcohol.

Only then did Zhen Huan wake up from the forbidden and stimulating relationship with Prince Guo. She only regretted that she had not discovered these letters, allowing others to take advantage of them and harm her.

Soon, Jianqiu and Jiaoyue returned to Wuling Spring Scenery. They looked at each other, bowed together and dared not speak.

"Tell me what Prince Guo said."

"Prince Guo said..."

When Concubine Hua heard the two men hesitating, she became so angry that she was almost bursting with anger.

But after all, they were the Queen's men, so she couldn't get angry immediately. She could only hold back her anger and ask the two to speak quickly.

"Prince Guo said...his feelings towards Concubine Zhen were just a sympathy between close friends.

The two exchanged written words because they discussed poetry. "

Jianqiu took out a piece of letter paper from her bosom, on which was written a poem called "Magpie Bridge" by Qin Guan.

Zhen Huan took it and looked at it, and found that the handwriting on the paper was actually her own, and the two words "相逢" were connected together, which was exactly the same as her habit.

"This letter... was not written by me." Zhen Huan muttered to herself. She looked up at the Queen, "Your Majesty, this was not written by me."

Shen Meizhuang recognized Zhen Huan's handwriting, so she took the initiative to move over to look at the words on the letter.

The handwriting on the letter was indeed from Huan'er. Shen Meizhuang was certain in an instant that her good sister really had an affair with Prince Guo.

How could she, how could she be so sorry to the emperor.

"Prince Guo said that this letter was sent by Concubine Zhen." Jianqiu pretended to be hesitant and it took her a while to finish the sentence.

Jiaoyue on the side remained silent. When asked by the Queen, she just looked at Zhen Huan and refused to say a word.

"Like master, like servant." Hua Fei heard that Prince Guo had admitted his private dealings with Zhen Huan, and she was completely relieved at this time. "Same old stubbornness."

Zhen Huan did not admit that she wrote these letters, but Prince Guo had already admitted it, so no matter how she defended her innocence, it seemed like all her excuses had turned into quibbling.

“I have never written these things. I am afraid that someone imitated my handwriting and made Prince Guo think that it was I who sent the letter.

This is why Prince Guo also sent a reply letter. "

This Zhen Huan is not stupid. The Queen smiled slightly in her heart and pretended to be surprised and said, "But as for the handwriting, unless you look at it for many years, it is impossible to make it exactly the same.

If Zhen Changzai has any doubts, I'm afraid it's..."

"Exactly the same handwriting? I'm afraid it's fake because someone imitated it, and it's real because it was written by Zhen Changzai herself." Concubine Hua was still aggressive. She was determined to bring Zhen Huan down, so how could she give her a chance to quibble.

“Even when you write the same word yourself, it may be different.

It's written exactly the same, how could anyone else do it. "Lipin responded quickly, and even Cao Qinmo couldn't help curling her lips at her servile appearance.

The Queen's original intention was to ask Zhen Huan to suspect the maids serving her, especially the two who had served her since childhood, but she didn't expect Concubine Hua and Lipin to jump out and talk nonsense again.

It’s a pity that Zhen Huan was in no mood to deal with them. Her eloquent mouth was like a rusty iron lock at this moment, and she didn’t know how to start.

Lingrong finally understood what was going on. Zhen Huan believed that the letter was indeed written by Prince Guo, so she did not want to continue investigating who sent the letter.

Instead, she focused on the fact that she had never written these letters, but she didn't know who wrote them and she couldn't provide any evidence to show how the handwriting was different from her own.

Precisely because they were exactly the same, she had no way of making an excuse.

But Zhen Huan was not that stupid. She suddenly remembered that there was a little mark beside her. "Since I entered the palace, I have been careful in everything. When I get along with the prince, I also pay attention to the degree."

She held up the letters and said, "These letters are nothing more than poems copied from books. I thought it was useless to keep them, so I burned them all.

But this servant started to slander me, saying that I had an affair with Prince Guo, and even wanted to beat him to death. "

Xiao Yinzi knelt aside and trembled. He didn't expect that his master would still remember him at this time.

"The Queen has investigated clearly. There is nothing wrong between me and Prince Guo. How could there be any secrets? Are you afraid that this servant will find out?"

Ling Rong couldn't understand why Zhen Huan brought up the matter of Xiao Yinzi reporting her. After all, if it were her, she would just send Xiao Yinzi away when everyone was ignoring the matter.

Then use some silent means to kill him.

Now that this matter is brought up again, could it be that she has discovered something that everyone has overlooked?

"What Zhen Changzai meant was..."

“I think someone deliberately instigated Xiao Yinzi to fabricate those rumors in order to frame me.

I beg the Queen to submit this small seal to the Ministry of Punishment for a thorough investigation."

"My lord...my lord, how can you be so cruel?" When Xiao Yinzi heard about the Ministry of Punishment, he panicked. He was a fence-sitter and would betray at the slightest benefit.

Now that he was going to be taken to the Ministry of Punishment to be skinned and boned, Xiao Yinzi immediately looked at Kang Luhai. "Master, please speak up for your disciple."

Hua Fei and Cao Qinmo looked at each other. She looked at him with a little panic, asking Cao Qinmo to think of a solution.

"So what Concubine Zhen meant is that these letters exchanged with Prince Guo are all true." Cao Qinmo spoke slowly. She had never agreed to move this matter forward so quickly.

But Concubine Hua couldn't help herself even for a moment, and she just had an idea to ask that stupid Concubine Li to do it.

Now that Zhen Huan has seized the opportunity, he can only bite the bullet and ask for compensation.

"The letter from Prince Guo is real, but I think it is meaningless, so I burned it.

But I never wrote back, nor did I say I wanted to kill Xiao Yinzi."

Zhen Huan seemed to have finally seen Cao Qinmo. She finally moved her gaze away from Concubine Hua's face and looked at this ordinary-looking woman seriously for the first time.

"This little seal must be related to these two things. Lady Cao is worried that the little seal will say something he shouldn't say after entering the Ministry of Punishment?"

Faced with this blatant question, Cao Qinmo did not seem to be at all flustered. She just glanced at Xiao Yinzi and gave a faint smile.

"I am not worried, but I want to remind Concubine Zhen that the Ministry of Punishment is a very scary place. If an ordinary person goes in, he will be skinned alive if not killed.

They are all raised by their parents, so just use gentle means to interrogate them."

When he heard the word "parents", the expression on Xiao Yinzi's face froze. He turned back to look at Kang Luhai in panic, but only saw his master shaking his head to signal him not to talk nonsense.

People who didn't know the inside story thought that Xiao Yinzi was afraid of the punishment from the Ministry of Punishment. They had no idea that Concubine Cao was threatening him with his parents to tell him to shut up.
