C190 He picked up a rock and hit his own foot (1/2)

The Imperial Concubine's complexion changed when she heard this. He turned around and looked at the palace maid, his eyes flashing with warning.

”What did you say?” Didn't you just say that it's Baili Jinxiu? ”

The palace maid shook her head in panic and explained submissively: ”This servant, this servant was talking about the person behind Miss …”

Behind Baili Jinxiu stood... Li Meier who was planning to leave quietly.

When everyone heard the palace maid's words, they all hastily retreated. And Li Meier, who was originally bent over and ready to leave, was just revealed like that in front of everyone's eyes.

Panic flashed across Li Meier's face as she shouted with a wave of her hand: ”It's not me, how could it be me? This palace maid is lying, I really didn't do it in Noble Consort. She's lying. ”

The Imperial Concubine looked at Li Meier with disgust in her eyes. Was this fool planning to admit defeat?

Imperial Concubine looked at Baili Jinxiu who was smiling, and only felt that Baili Jinxiu was making a joke of himself.

”Enough.” The imperial concubine looked at Li Meier angrily as she glared at him, signalling for him to shut up. She turned around and calmly looked at the palace maid as she asked in a low voice.

”I will ask you one last time, you'd better tell me honestly. Was it the person Sixth Prince pointed at just now, or this Li Meier? ”

The warning look in his eyes was sharp, and even Baili Jinxiu couldn't help but laugh.

Emperor could not help but ask curiously when he saw that Baili Jinxiu could still smile, as if the things that the imperial concubine was trying to force him to ask about had nothing to do with him.

”Baili Jinxiu, what are you laughing at?”

When Baili Jinxiu saw that he had attracted the attention of the Emperor, he finally let out a sigh of relief.

If the imperial concubine were to continue with her question, this palace maid might end up pointing at her with her head unclear.

After today's matter, no matter who did it, she did not plan to take the blame for anyone. Thus, after attracting Emperor's attention, Baili Jinxiu spoke without hesitation.

”This subject is smiling, this palace maid is truly bold. She actually dared to take the lives of others just for some silver. Now, she needed to tell him who the murderer was in order to make up for her mistake.

With Lord Shuntian Prefect here, he will definitely act impartially. If she continued to stutter and refuse to tell the truth. This subject is really sad for the family of this palace maid.

You must know, committing a crime in this palace is already a huge crime. If you continue to speak nonsense, you will be offending your family. ”

”Your servant said that your servant would never dare to lie.” It was this Miss who gave me the silver. She said she was going to teach someone a lesson later and let me hide in the water.

As long as I'm willing to drag those who fell into the water into the pond, if I can drown them, I will be given a hundred taels of silver. This servant knew how to swim, and she was also very familiar with this pond.

He knew that he could travel from another place without being discovered. This servant did not expect that when others fell, they would only think to earn more silver, and would only be caught by this Miss.

This servant would never dare to do it again, never again. I beg Emperor to spare my life … ”

The palace maid cried as she spoke, continuously kowtowing on the ground and begging for forgiveness.

On the other hand, Li Meier's legs went weak, and she looked towards the imperial concubine with a pleading look for help. The Imperial Concubine turned her face away, looking at the palace maid with a dark expression.

What made the imperial concubine even more infuriated was that Baili Jinxiu's few quick and clever words actually scared this damned palace maid to the point of making her say such words.

Originally, this was a good excuse for Baili Jin to be punished. It's all Li Mei Er's fault. She didn't even have a chance to find a maid.

Emperor's face revealed an expression of rage. Listening to the palace maid's words, he felt that it was extremely ridiculous. His eyes darkened as he looked at Li Meier and shouted in a low voice.
