At this time, at the gate of Liuliyuan, the princess came in with a group of maids and nannies. When the princess approached, she saluted Pei Mochen: "I have met the prince!"
"Excuse me!" Pei Mochen said.
I heard the princess say again: "I heard that the prince is dealing with matters in the inner house. As the mistress of the palace, I naturally want to come and take a look."
In fact, the princess There is only one person with the real goal of coming here!
"Yes!" Pei Mochen responded calmly: "Give me a seat!" Then the servants in Liuli's courtyard brought chairs and placed them behind each master. Naturally, the Jin family would not neglect them either. .
When Pei Mochen sat down, he saw Pei Ruoxiao kneeling next to Wan Siya in the crowd.
"Xiao'er!" Pei Mochen called: "Come here!"
Of course it's impossible to make the royal heirs kneel before their ministers!
After hearing this, Pei Ruoxiao turned to look at Wan Siya beside him, and saw Wan Siya nodding in agreement, then he stood up and came to Pei Mochen, and then carefully called out: "Father. "
"Well, come, come to father!" Pei Mochen waved to Pei Ruoxiao.
Upon seeing this, Pei Ruoxiao obediently came to Pei Mochen's left side. Just as he stood still, Pei Ruoxiao suddenly felt his hand being held by a gentle tender hand, and heard the princess beside him calling: " Xiao'er. "
When Pei Ruoxiao saw this, he turned around and saw that it was someone he was not close to, so he just stared at the princess without making a sound.
"Come, come to mother!" The princess' face was full of love, as if she was coaxing her legitimate son.
When Pei Mochen saw this, he said softly: "Go to your mother! Father still has things to deal with!"
Pei Ruoxiao nodded after hearing this, and then said Arriving obediently in front of the princess, the princess took Pei Ruoxiao's shoulders and let her lean against her. Pei Ruoxiao was also very obedient.
Seeing the scene of a loving mother and a filial son, Pei Mochen suddenly had an idea in his heart. But he didn't show it at this time.
"Your Majesty, can we start?" Jin Nanqian, who was sitting next to him, asked aloud.
"Yes." Pei Mochen responded calmly.
Then he turned his head and glanced coldly at the crowd of kneeling people, and spoke majestically: "The purpose of calling you here today is to find the murderer of Concubine Jin. I have already obtained some evidence. , if you can consciously stand up and admit it, I can still be lenient, if not..." Pei Mochen paused: "Don't blame me for not remembering the past friendship!" At the end of the sentence, Pei Mochen's eyes fell on the kneeling person. Wan Siya, who was at the front, was still kneeling with her head down, unmoved at all!
"Your Majesty." A middle-aged woman's voice came. Pei Mochen heard the voice and turned away, only to see a nun next to him crawling forward: "This old slave is the steward of the big kitchen. His name is CallMa Hui, Jin's concubine, has been served by the old slave since she was pregnant. "At this point, she paused and secretly glanced at Wan Siya and her personal maid Yang Xia over there. Then she continued:
"There has never been any problem, but Just yesterday, before delivering the food to Liuliyuan, Miss Yangxia from Zhujunyuan came early. Miss Yangxia stayed alone in the house for a while. That night, the old slave heard that Concubine Jin had a miscarriage. The old slave feels that something is strange at this time, so he came here to report it! "
As she said that she was afraid that Pei Mochen would not believe it, she continued: "Miss Ai Xia from Yaoguang Academy can prove what the old slave said. At that time, Miss Ai Xia was also in the big kitchen. I should have seen it in the courtyard! "
Hearing this, a weak Jin over there cast his sharp eyes at Wan Siya, who was still kneeling.

At this time, Pei Mochen frowned, why did this matter involve Yaoguang Academy? He really didn't want Su Lingxue to be involved in this dirty matter.
But since. Someone mentioned that it would be impossible not to summon witnesses.
“Call Aisha! "Pei Mochen ordered.
"Yes! "Wu Shen responded, and then trotted out of Liuli Courtyard.
Soon Pei Mochen saw Su Lingxue walking in with a group of maids, including Ai Xia!
Before Su Lingxue could salute, the weak Jin asked eagerly: "Su Lingxue, did your maid Ai Xia see Yang Xia from Zhujun Courtyard in the kitchen courtyard yesterday morning? What did you see? "
When Su Lingxue heard this, she turned around and saw Jin staring at Ai Xia beside her. Suddenly, Su Lingxue noticed a strange and burning gaze. She looked away and saw Jin. The man in white clothes looked at him blankly.
Su Lingxue soon looked back and looked back at Pei Mochen, and then noticed the princess beside Pei Mochen and the man in front of her. Pei Ruoxiao was stunned for a moment when he saw Su Lingxue, but he quickly saluted and said: "I have met the prince and the princess! ”
“No gifts! Pei Mochen said: "Yesterday, did your maid Ai Xia see Yang Xia in the big kitchen?" "
After hearing this, Su Lingxue stood up, turned slightly and said to Ai Xia beside her: "Ai Xia, come forward and say something! "
"Yes! "Ai Xia responded politely, then took two steps forward and said politely: "When I went to the big kitchen to get the meal yesterday morning, I did see Miss Yangxia. At that time, Grandma Ma was busy bringing the meal to the slave. , the slave girl saw Miss Yangxia walking into the room alone. After Mother Ma put the food in place, the slave girl still didn’t see Miss Yangxia come out..."
"Then have you ever What did you see Yang Xia doing inside? "Jin Nanqian next to him suddenly asked.
Hearing this, Ai Xia did not answer immediately, but turned to look at Su Lingxue and the people over there.When Pei Mochen saw Su Lingxue nodding, Ai Xia replied: "This slave was only looking after the master's food and didn't notice what Miss Yangxia did in the house!"
After hearing this, Pei Mochen came out coldly. Voice: "Yangxia, what did you do in the house at that time?"
Yangxia was called, and then two guards came out from the side, dragged the kneeling Yangxia over from the crowd, and threw In front of your judging masters. At this time, Yangxia was so frightened that her whole body began to tremble slightly.
"Slave... this slave just took away the master's food... and did nothing else!" Although Yang Xia was very scared, she still persisted.
Pei Mochen looked down at the little humble maid in front of him like he was looking down at an ant.
"Not telling the truth?!" Pei Mochen said coldly.
Yangxia on the ground looked up and looked very scared, but she still persisted and said: "Everything the slave said is true!"
"Wu Shen, pull the stick and punish it until Until she tells the truth!" Pei Mochen gave the order, and Wu Shen over there led two guards to pull Yang Xia aside. They threw Yang Xia directly to the ground, straightened her body, and let her lie down. The wooden stool was not placed under her body, but she directly picked up a wooden stick with a round end and a wide end and struck it down.
Suddenly, Yangxia’s screams rang out in Liuli Courtyard.
