Mother Hui looked at Ning Shu blankly and said, "It's my duty to serve Miss. You can't put the blame on me just because I was there at the time."
The Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Justice, Wang Han, thought for a moment and agreed, "There is no conclusive evidence and no witnesses. At best, we can say that she has the suspicion and possibility of committing the crime, but we can't directly convict her."
Ning Shu declined to comment and continued, "Then came the incident where the Thirteenth Princess and the Fourth Miss of the Qi Family fell into the Supreme Liquid Pool together. When the Fourth Miss of the Qi Family was rescued from the pool, everyone suddenly found that her collar had been stuffed with that crazy, crazy, and unnatural death curse. Similarly, because Thirteenth Princess and Fourth Miss Qi were in close contact and fell into the water together, everyone looked at Thirteenth Princess suspiciously. Is there any eunuch who participated in the rescue at that time? "
At that time, the incident was very big. Many eunuchs in the palace were ordered by the Empress to participate in the rescue. Hearing Ning Shu's question, a eunuch beside His Majesty quickly raised his hand.
"I was there at that time."
"Eunuch, please recall carefully. When you rescued Fourth Miss Qi from the Supreme Liquid Pool, did you find the curse in her collar?"
The eunuch bowed his head and carefully recalled for a long time. Then he shook his head and said, "I don't think so."
After Ning Shu nodded her head in thanks, she asked the eunuch to go back, "Yes, after I asked several palace maids and eunuchs who participated in the rescue, the answer I received was exactly the same: no. Your Majesty can go back to the palace and ask all the palace maids who participated in the rescue. A pair of eyes may be negligent, but so many people didn't notice it. It wasn't until Fourth Miss Qi was rescued ashore and the maids wrapped her with a cloak that Grand Tutor Qian's second daughter suddenly found the curse on Fourth Miss Qi's collar. Please think about it. If the Thirteenth Princess secretly put the token into her collar before she fell into the water, she would struggle when she fell into the water. How could the Thirteenth Princess guarantee that the token would not be shaken into the water? Secondly, why didn't the Thirteenth Princess find the token when so many eunuchs and palace maids fished her out and touched her closely? "
Tan Siwei, who was standing behind the Chancellor of the Supreme Court, thought for a moment and said, "So, it's very likely that someone secretly put the signature into Fourth Miss' collar when the servants were in a hurry to cover her with cloaks. At that time, everyone was in a panic and surrounded Fourth Miss, so no one would have noticed the extra pair of hands."
"Yes." Ning Shu nodded and smiled. "At that time, the person who was closest to Fourth Miss was also you, Mother Hui."
Mother Hui was frightened and flustered. Every wrinkle on her face was written with grievance. She opened her mouth and was about to defend herself when she was interrupted by Ning Shu.
"I know. You want to say that it's just a matter of duty, so let's skip this part and continue. After that, Fourth Miss Qi was frightened when she fell into the water. Consort Qi arranged for her to rest in the Fragrance Hall, which was closest to the Imperial Garden. That night, the disappearance of Fourth Miss Qi shocked all of us. At that time, there were more than a hundred guards guarding the perimeter of the Fragrance Hall. Fourth Miss Qi was resting alone in her bedroom. Six servants, including Mother Hui, were guarding outside the hall. Fourth Miss Qi's bedroom was on the second floor and there were guards guarding the staircase. Logically speaking, even if she had wings, she would not be able to escape the eyes of the many guards. After that, Consort Qi ordered people to search the entire Fragrance Hall, but they did not find any suspicious secret passages or hidden compartments. Judging from the situation at that time, no one would be able to steal a living person from there, but it happened. So, at that time, I was also confused and at a loss. Coupled with the blood print of the wolf's paw on the dress, everyone could not help but associate it with the mischief of a demon. However, are there really demons and ghosts in this world that can stir up trouble? I don't believe it. "
The assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice, Wang Han, revealed a puzzled expression and asked, "Then how do you explain this matter? The night before, Old Princess Consort Yu went to the Fragrance Hall to visit Fourth Miss Qi at midnight, but she disappeared at midnight. During this time, even if Mother Hui had the ability to secretly hide Fourth Miss Qi, there was no way to transport her out of the palace! "
Ning Shu nodded. "Every day, the key to the imperial harem would be released at midnight and the palace gates would be opened at midnight the next day. During this time, no one would be able to enter or leave the harem. This is something that everyone knows."
Wang Han sneered, "Then what else did Lady Ning say? Could it be that this woman has the ability to hide someone for a few hours and then teleport them out of the palace? Moreover, after the incident, these servants were personally escorted out of the palace by the guards. It's possible to hide a few handkerchiefs on them, but to hide a living person? Stop joking. "
Ning Shu smiled, her eyes clear and bright. She gently tilted her head and said, "But who said that Fourth Miss Qi must have disappeared after midnight?"
