Chapter 244: Confrontation

As the emperor said, a palace maid was brought in tremblingly and knelt in the distance.

The emperor glanced at him, looked familiar, glanced at Fang Jizhong, and signaled him to ask.

"Are you a palace maid in Chuxiu Palace?"

The palace maid nodded and replied with her head down, "I am Su'e, the palace maid of Chuxiu Palace."

Fang Jizhong pointed at Liu Xiuer and said:

"Look, do you ever recognize this lady?"

Su'e looked up and crawled on the ground again, as if she was even more panicked than just now.

"When I was told by Eunuch Fang, I remember that this person was Doctor Liu, a disciple of Zhou Yuan. In the late palace banquet yesterday, after the imperial concubine returned to the palace to teach ear acupoint therapy, saying that it could give birth smoothly and that the body could recover quickly."

Fang Jizhong nodded and then asked:

"Doctor Liu returned to Baohe Palace by himself, who sent it back? What happened on the way?"

Zhou Heng turned his head and stared at the palace maid Su'e. Concubine Shu had a good impression of her yesterday. Why did her palace maid frame Liu Xiu'er?

This is a relationship that is completely unrelated. If it is said that it is related, you have to thank yourself and Liu Xiu'er. Giving her aphrodisiac and a way to take care of her body should be like a treasure. How could you indulge the palace maids so much?

Zhou Heng couldn't figure it out. Looking at the appearance of the palace maid Su'e, he seemed to be very afraid of Liu Xiu'er. What was the reason?

The palace maid Su'e raised her jaw slightly, glanced at Liu Xiu'er, and then continued:

"I sent Doctor Liu back to Baohe Palace. When I passed by the Imperial Garden, I saw many people around the lake in the East Garden. I didn't know what happened. I glanced at me and wanted to go over and take a look, but after all, the shouting was very loud, but I thought that I was still leading Doctor Liu, so I didn't go. Doctor Liu laughed at me and said that he wanted to go and see."

Seeing Liu Xiu'er staring at her, the palace maid Su'e shrank back and continued in a trembling voice:

"Then I went over. The palace maid who fell into the water was a fellow villager. When I saw that I was dumbfounded, I quickly shouted. Later, several eunuchs came over and caught the person. When I saw that she was awake, I went back to find Doctor Liu. However, Doctor Liu was not in the original place. I asked several people for seeing her. Later, she walked out of the imperial garden on the right. I asked her at that time, and she said that she had been waiting for a long time and enjoyed the scenery there, and then went to Baohe Palace."

Liu Xiu'er looked angry. This false thing is said to be true, as if it is true.

Just as she was about to speak, Zhou Heng poked her. Liu Xiu'er looked up at Zhou Heng. Zhou Heng shook her head and signaled her to be calm first.

Fang Jizhong turned around and saluted the emperor, "Your Majesty, I've finished asking."

The emperor looked at the kneeling people below and asked with a gloomy face:

"Do you have something to say?"

Zhou Heng knelt down and moved forward two steps.

"I have doubts. Even if the palace maid Su'e said it was true, she just saw Miss Liu coming out of the Xiyuan Gate. Have you ever seen Miss Liu kill someone?"

The emperor glanced at Fang Jizhong, and Fang Jizhong quickly asked the palace maid Su'e.

"Did you see Miss Liu killing?"

Su'e was stunned and hurriedly leaned on the ground, as if she gritted her teeth before saying:

"I didn't see the murder, but I saw Miss Liu walking out from behind the rockery. She shook off her body while walking. The bun on her head was a little messy, and there seemed to be shoe prints on the hem of the skirt."

Zhou Heng narrowed his eyes and smiled slightly, completely losing the worries he had just now, and looked up at the palace maid Su'e.

"Since you see that Miss Liu's skirt has shoe prints and the bun on her head is a little messy, then I'll ask you, what kind of clothes Miss Liu wore yesterday, and what accessories were on her head?"

Su E was stunned, thought for a while, and looked up and said:

"How do you remember this slave?"

Before Fang Jizhong could speak, Zhou Heng smiled and said:

"Oh? In this way, you don't remember what color of clothes Miss Liu wore yesterday. Then do you remember what clothes the imperial concubine wore, what headdress, and how she wore it? I can't remember this, right?"

Su'e paused, "The Empress is wearing a pink dress, a red gold-faced face on her head, and a pair of white jade hairpins."

"How to insert it? It's left or right, what are the earrings?"

Su'e was stunned. Obviously she didn't remember it. She no longer looked back at Zhou Heng, but instead knelt down on the ground and said to Fang Jizhong:

"I don't remember the details, but the verdict of the Zhou Yuan asked this question. I wonder if the verdict of the Zhou Yuan remembers it?"

Everyone looked at Zhou Heng. Su'e was right and asked so carefully. Do you remember?

Zhou Heng bowed down, "Please give me paper and pen to draw it. I really don't know what the accessories are called, and I can't tell you, but I remember it. Later, I can ask the concubine's personal female official to come and check it to see if the painting is accurate?"

The emperor looked at Zhou Heng. He knew what Zhou Heng meant, but you didn't remember it just by saying that you remember it. He saw it too. It was not guaranteed to be completely accurate. He turned his head and looked at Fang Jizhong.

"Parent Fang judged paper and pen for Zhou Yuan, and then ordered someone to invite Yuqing, who was beside Concubine Shu, to come over and check whether these things are accurate."

Fang Jizhong quickly moved, put the paper and pen in front of Zhou Heng, and ordered someone to pass on the message. Even now, the emperor did not say that they would get up, obviously very angry at this time.

Zhou Heng quickly started writing and carefully painted the dress of Concubine Shu yesterday in his memory, but his face was not depicted. If you painted the face, what was the purpose of you, a minister, to observe the emperor's woman so carefully?

Such a statement must not appear. This is seeking death. Don’t be able to save Liu Xiuer but harm yourself.

I thought in my mind, but the movements in my hands did not stop. With just a few strokes, a woman in the palace dress appeared in front of me.

Zhu Yunmo and Liu Xiu'er both looked over secretly. Zhu Yunmo knew Zhou Heng's ability. He knew that Liu Xiu'er was an important person for Zhou Heng, just like protecting himself at that time. Zhou Heng was annoyed, so he came up with this solution.

Liu Xiu'er looked at Zhou Heng and pursed her lips tightly. No one except her brother had treated her like this. The emperor seemed to be trying to kill her just now. At this time, she could argue with reason. No matter what the result was, this affection moved her so much that she could not be restored.

Zhou Heng had finished painting at this moment, blowing the ink marks dry. Fang Jizhong had already walked to his side and raised the paper. Although he had no color or face, he could tell at a glance that this Concubine Shu was the Concubine Shu.

He did not dare to stop and presented the painting to the emperor.

The emperor glanced at him indifferently, but his eyes widened in an instant. The tiara was indeed the costume of Concubine Shu, and such a meticulous presentation really made the emperor a little stunned.

At this moment, a little eunuch came to report, "Your Majesty, Concubine Shu asked for a meeting."

The emperor frowned slightly. It seemed that the person who was passing the message told Concubine Shu about everything here. He paused slightly, sighed and waved his hand.

"Call her in."

Concubine Shu was supported by a palace maid and walked in quickly. Just as she was about to bow her knees, the emperor quickly waved his hand.

"If you are pregnant, you don't have to be treated to him. Why are you here?"

Concubine Shu leaned down slightly and glanced at the emperor, with a look of anger on her face.

"I heard someone ask Yuqing to come to Dongnuan Pavilion to reply, so I asked what was going on. The eunuch who was passing the message stammered and didn't tell me clearly, so I was a little angry.

Later, when I asked the following, I said that a palace maid from the concubine's palace had come to falsely accuse Dr. Liu, and then I came over quickly. I wonder what I wanted to listen to and ask Your Majesty to atone for his sins."

Zhou Heng didn't say anything, listened in a slight manner. The imperial concubine took off her cleansed herself in a few words, and did not forget to sell her good things, but she seemed to be unaware of this.

There was a confusing account in the harem, and it was probably because this imperial concubine attracted jealousy and hatred that she pulled Liu Xiu'er into the water.

At the emperor's instructions, Fang Jizhong briefly said the matter and Concubine Shu took two steps forward.
