Chen Yan
Chapter 94 Dog Bites Dog
Xu Chun'er's face was pale, and she was obviously a little scared, but she still insisted that the letter was written by Yu Qingwu.
Her eyes were red, and she glared at Yu Qingwu angrily, and said sharply, "You... you mislead the public with lies! This letter is clearly real! You are still full of lies as you were in the past!"
"Xu Chun'er, you are the one who is full of lies as in the past." Compared to Xu Chun'er's shouting, Yu Qingwu appeared calm and reasonable.
She glared at Xu Chun'er coldly, and then looked at Qiu Shiyi Niang, who was stunned.
She took a step back, bowed and saluted Emperor Wei Jing, "Father, lest someone think it is unfair, I would like to ask you to summon someone who understands ancient books and paper to appraise it again. If this letter is not forged, I will kill myself to apologize."
"If this letter is forged, I hope..."
Qingwu paused, her eyes suddenly turned cold, and her knife-like gaze slowly fell on Xu Chun'er, Wang Shi, and Qiu Shiyi Niang, and said, "I hope that according to the law, all those who slander me and attempt to smear the reputation of the royal family will be punished!"
Perhaps her gaze was too cold, causing Xu Chun'er's pupils to shrink involuntarily.
Qiu Shiyi Niang's face was also pale, but she was still unwilling. She bit her lip and stepped forward, saying, "Father, this matter concerns the face of the royal family and even human life. You must not listen to Consort Yu's one-sided words. Now that there are witnesses and evidence, the people of Qinghe County all know about Consort Yu's murder. If you don't believe it, you can..."
"Yu Qi, you have always liked collecting antiques. Take a look and see if these two pieces of paper are really as Consort Yu said, and that the antiquity of one of them is fake." Qiu Shiyi Niang looked righteous and was about to act shamelessly, but Emperor Wei Jing ignored her and just waved to Yu Qi, signaling him to come to his side.
At this moment, it was really inappropriate to summon an external official.
Yu Qi was the most capable eunuch beside Emperor Wei Jing, and the one he trusted most. It was most appropriate to let him take a look.
Hearing that Emperor Wei Jing asked Yu Qi to appraise it, Qiu Shiyi Niang's panicked expression slowly calmed down, and joy could not help but appear in her eyes. Her father had said that he had often given gifts to Yu Qi, and that Yu Qi was one of their people.
Now, she was not afraid of being punished.
She glanced at Yu Qingwu triumphantly, and Qiu Shiyi Niang looked at Yu Qi expectantly.
Yu Qi received the order and immediately walked over.
Then he picked up two pieces of rice paper with different contents from the desk, staring at the words on them. The frostiness spread in his eyes, and finally became extremely gloomy.
He raised his head, looked at Xu Chun'er kneeling on the ground, a flash of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, and said, "Your Majesty, as Consort Yu said, this rice paper full of filthy words is forged. Although the forger deliberately stained it with a musty smell, a faint scent of fresh ink can still be smelled."
"Moreover, Consort Yu had some bad habits when she was writing as a child, and she easily put a hook after each character."
"But Your Majesty, look at this letter. Although the shape of the characters is very similar, the hook at the end is not natural. Moreover, the imitator of this letter is an adult, and his writing is very steady. Look at Consort Yu's transcription of 'Female Virtue'. Although the font is delicate, it does not have any strength..."
As soon as Yu Qi said this, Qiu Shiyi Niang, who had been clamoring just now, was speechless.
She just looked at Yu Qi in shock, her eyes filled with shock and anger.
It was clear that they had agreed to help them, but why did Yu Qi take the money and help the Yu family?
Qiu Shiyi Niang was so angry that she almost jumped up. She widened her eyes and stared at Yu Qi in disbelief, and asked him as a hint, "Eunuch Yu, are you sure that this letter is really forged?"
Hearing this, Yu Qi turned his head, his handsome and feminine face was as kind as usual, and he smiled and nodded to her, "In response to Concubine Ce of the First Prince, this letter is indeed forged."
"You..." Qiu Shiyi Niang gritted her teeth in anger, wanting to threaten Yu Qi with her father's bribery.
But the words came to her lips, and she swallowed them back. It was already a crime for court officials to have private relations with eunuchs, and it would be a greater crime to give and receive privately. "You..." Qiu Shiyi Niang gritted her teeth in anger, wanting to threaten Yu Qi with her father's bribery.

But the words came to her lips, and she swallowed them back. It was already a crime for court officials to have private relations with eunuchs, and it would be a greater crime to give and receive privately. Were those jewels all given away for nothing?
Qiu Shiyi Niang clenched her fists, looked at Yu Qingwu with unwilling eyes, and trembled with anger.
Seeing her like this, the look of disgust in Emperor Wei Jing's eyes was even stronger. He snorted coldly and asked her, "What's wrong, Qiu Shi? Do you think Yu Qi is favoring Consort Yu?"
Hearing this, Qiu Shiyi Niang's pupils trembled, and she quickly said, "I dare not..."
"It's best if you don't." Emperor Wei Jing sneered, as if he had seen through something.
Then he ignored Qiu Shiyi Niang and turned his gaze back to Wang Shi and her daughter, looking at them with extremely sharp and cold eyes, and sternly questioned them again, "Wang Shi, Xu Shi, I ask you, who instructed you to slander the Crown Princess?"
Hearing this, Wang Shi and Xu Chun'er both lowered their heads.
Wang Shi was trembling with fear, while Xu Chun'er was relatively calm, but not much.
She clenched her fists tightly, glared at Yu Qingwu with extreme unwillingness, but in the end she had to kneel on the ground and kowtow to the emperor, "Your Majesty, it... it... it's..."
She stammered, and while speaking, her eyes slowly fell on Qiu Shiyi Niang.
Qiu Shiyi Niang was already guilty, and when she saw Xu Chun'er looking at her, she was furious and immediately roared at her sternly, "Xu Chun'er, what are you staring at me for? I didn't instigate you! If you two hadn't come to our Qiu family, wanting to see Father through me to avenge Yang Cheng, how could I have gotten into this mess?"
Qiu Shiyi Niang's face was full of anger. Her eyes darted around, and she immediately thought of something. Before Xu Chun'er could refute, she pointed at her and said, "I... I understand, you wanted to slander Yu Liangdi, right? You wanted to use me to slander Yu Liangdi, right?"
Hehe, they're starting to turn on each other so quickly?
Seeing Qiu Shiyi Niang's behavior, Yu Qingwu couldn't help but laugh.
