I just want to live a happy life

Chapter 306 Fu Cha Lang Ya 22

Ruyi looked at the jade hairpin held in Xiao Luzi's hand, her pupils suddenly shrank, and she didn't understand how her hairpin ended up in this servant's hands.

"Your Majesty, Empress, this hairpin is indeed mine, but I don't know how it ended up in Xiao Luzi's hands."

Xiao Luzi held the hairpin and said, "Madam Xianpin, why don't you admit it? This hairpin was indeed given to me by you. You said at the time that you didn't have enough silver, so you gave it to me. I saw that the hairpin was of good quality and I thought I could sell it for some silver, so I agreed to work for you. Fortunately, I didn't have time to sell it, otherwise I wouldn't be able to explain it even if I had ten mouths."

This surprised the concubines. According to the rules, the concubines had a monthly allowance, but most of the high-ranking concubines did not live solely on the allowance. They also received allowances from their families and from those below them as filial tributes.

But Ruyi was the mistress of a palace, and was from the Ulanara clan, a prominent family in the upper three banners. It was impossible that she couldn't even afford to reward him with some silver.

Looking at this glaring evidence, the concubine didn't know whether to believe it or not.

This is too obvious, it seems like a frame-up.

At this time, Concubine Zhe, who had been silent, spoke.

"I heard that the Ulanara family has been living beyond their means for a long time and has been relying on Concubine Xian for support. It is possible that Concubine Xian has no money."

At this moment, everyone suddenly realized. They had vaguely heard it before, but they just didn't take it seriously. Now that Concubine Zhe said this, it was very likely that Concubine Xian took the hairpin and asked Xiao Luzi to do something.

Ruyi was very flustered. She knelt on the ground and said aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, I really didn't do it. They framed me."

Langya looked at the silent Hongli and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to let A Ruo in? A Ruo is the personal attendant of Concubine Xian, so I think she should know something."

Hongli nodded: "Well, I'll listen to the Queen."

Soon, Ah Ruo came in. She lowered her head and knelt beside Xiao Luzi: "Greetings to the Emperor and the Empress."

Langya asked, "Aruo, you are Concubine Xian's personal maid, so you should know something about what Concubine Xian does."

"Then tell me, did Concubine Xian do anything to harm the child that Mei promised her?"

Ah Ruo glanced at Ruyi, then lowered her head and said, "Your servant, I know nothing, and I heard nothing."

What she said was very obvious.

Jin Yuyan looked at Ah Ruo and suddenly said, "You said you didn't know, that's impossible. If you really didn't know, why are you so guilty?"

Ruyi stared at Ah Ruo in a daze: "Ah Ruo, you serve me every day, you should know that I have done nothing wrong."

Ah Ruo did not reply. She was silent for a while, as if she had made up her mind, and said, "Your Majesty, Queen, I do know something. Now that I have evidence, the master still refuses to admit it. I don't want to spend my whole life in guilt, so I have to tell you."

Ah Ruo kowtowed to Ruyi and said, "I'm sorry, Master. I know that I'm sorry to say this. I'm sorry to you. I'll be your slave in my next life."

"Your Majesty, Empress, I serve you and know what you usually do. Ever since Mei promised to be pregnant, she has been relying on the child in her belly to steal your favor. You have always been dissatisfied. Although you don't say it, I know it."

"Seeing that Mei Dating was so arrogant, the master wanted to teach her a lesson, so he found Xiao Fuzi and Xiao Luzi and asked them to put cinnabar in the fish and shrimp that Mei Dating would eat."

"This is all I know, and I dare not deceive the emperor."

Ruyi couldn't believe that her dowry had betrayed her. With tears in her eyes, she said, "Aruo, I have treated you well. Why did you betray me?"

She turned to look at the emperor again: "Your Majesty, I don't know why A Ruo said that, but I still say that I didn't do it. I didn't harm Mei Da Ying's child."

Hongli was in a state of great headache: "Ruyi, now everyone is saying that you did it, and they have evidence. Since you said it was not you, you should produce evidence to prove that it was not you."

Ruyi acted as if she was let down by the young man she loved: "...Your Majesty."

At this time, Xiao Luzi, who had not spoken for a long time, was in a very unstable mood: "Empress Xianpin, it was clearly you who ordered us to do it, why don't you admit it? Will you only admit it after I die?"

"Minion, Minion, ah!"

As he said this, Xiao Luzi took Ruyi's jade hairpin and stabbed it into his own heart. It was too late to stop him. He cried out in pain and died.

Xiao Fuzi crawled over and hugged Xiao Luzi, staring at Ruyi with poison in her eyes: "Empress Xian, are you satisfied now? My brother died because of you, you evil woman, you forced my brother to death."

No one expected that Xiao Luzi would die like this. Then they looked at Ruyi, who still had that dazed look on her face.

Even if Xiao Luzi doesn't care about his life, he is determined to convict Ruyi of the crime. It seems very likely that Ruyi did it.

This was not the end yet, Ah Ruo also took action: "I know that what I said today should not have been said, and I should bury it in my heart forever. I feel very guilty, so let me die here, and that will be my way of repaying the master's kindness for many years."

After saying that, she used all her strength to hit the bronze furnace in front of the hall. She fell to the ground with blood flowing from her head. Before she died, she glanced at Jin Yuyan, as if she didn't understand why this was different from what they had agreed. Didn't Jin Yuyan say that she would hold her back?

Why did she have to die like this?

Even though A Ruo was very unwilling in her heart, she still closed her eyes forever.

Jin Yuyan pretended to be frightened like the other concubines. She covered her mouth with a handkerchief and turned her head away, as if she couldn't bear to see it.

In fact, from the very beginning, Jin Yuyan had no intention of letting A Ruo live. A Ruo knew that it was she who promised cinnabar to Mei, and this was a glaring handle.

If one day A'ruo gets out of control, she can't guarantee whether A'ruo will tell this matter, and she doesn't want to be worried day and night because of A'ruo.

So the only thing she could do was to shut up forever.

Besides, A Ruo's death would have a better effect. Looking at the concubines sitting in the palace, Jin Yuyan was sure that there was a 90% chance that everyone would believe that it was Ruyi who did it.

After all, no one would risk their own life to frame an innocent person.

What's more, two lives here died because of Ruyi.

Jin Yuyan thought that the matter ended here. The deaths of Xiao Luzi and A Ruo and the evidence were enough to deal with Ruyi.

But unexpectedly, today's events are not over yet.

Suoxin, who had been standing behind the chair, ran out and knelt in front of A Ruo.
