Ji Wu Jiu just finished his verdict, when he heard the "wait" beyond the door, all in the hall also turned and look at the door. Ye Zhen Zhen was slowly pushed in by Su Yue. She was wearing a dark red robe, embroidered with colourful small birds, that were very cute, she was wearing a outer clothing that has one gold embroidered phoenix, with a pearl encrusted on the phoenix's head, looking very peaceful. Her cloth's was meant to bring a meaning of a hundred birds looking at the phoenix.
Ye Zhen Zhen glanced through everyone that was there and ended with Ji Wu Jiu's face. He was looking at her as well, but his gaze was on her hands. In her soft and snow white left hand, she was holding two walnuts. The diameter of the walnuts is around one a half inch, the shape is like a peach bun, the skin colour is very red, the pattern and texture of the walnuts are also very smooth, and shiny. This type of walnut is the best there is in terms of antique walnuts, and looking at its surface, it surely has been used for many years, really the cream of the crop.
But, these walnuts is slightly bigger than the normal walnuts, as Ye Zhen Zhen's hands are considered small, and to hold both and still turning them around, it seems that it is slightly uncoordinated.
Zhuang Concubine and Xian Concubine stood up to greet her, and Xian Concubine had to move to give her space as well, to give her the second best seat in the hall. Ye Zhen Zhen was pushed by Su Yue to Ji Wu Jiu's side, and stopped. The whole time, Ji Wu Jiu's eyes has only been following Ye Zhen Zhen's turning left hand, with smile that is slowly creeping up on his face. Ye Zhen Zhen thought that Ji Wu Jiu only wanted the good things in her hands, so she pretended that she didn't notice.
After both Zhuang Concubine and Xian Concubine sat down, she finally said "Your majesty, is there any thing that I can't see here?"
Xian Concubine immediately tried to answer "I ask for forgiveness, your majesty, I made the decision, afraid that I will disturb you so I did not inform you."
"I was speaking to the emperor" Ye Zhen Zhen started with showing some power first.
Xian Concubine's head dropped "I apologize"
Ji Wu Jiu said "we are trying to investigate a case here, both evidence and witness is here, what you think my empress?"
Ye Zhen Zhen ordered someone to bring up the evidence, looking through it, and then turned towards the kneeling maid servant Xiao Zhu, smiled and said "I actually have a question I want to ask the witness"
Xiao Zhu heard Ye Zhen Zhen's voice tone and knew it wouldn't be good, so she looked on the floor and didn't dare to look up.
"I ask you, you said you saw a man entered Sun Gui Ren's room, was when exactly and and from where?"
"Your majesty, I saw him entering yesterday at 9.20, I personally saw him entered from the window."
At 9.20, the main gate is not locked yet, this man went into Han Guang Palace proudly? Did he think that the guarding eunuch's are blind?" Ye Zhen Zhen said and her tone got more stronger.
"I think he climbed the wall…"
"This is also another possibility" Ye Zhen Zhen nodded, "I ask you again, did you happen to see that person's face properly?"
"Replying to your majesty, the sky was dark, without proper lighting, I did not manage to see his face properly, but I remember he was wearing the guard's clothing"
Ye Zhen Zhen looked at the clothes held by Su Feng, it was a guard's clothings. "then did you see him leave?"
"I have not seen anyone leave"
"Why did you only notify now?"
"I was afraid I saw wrongly, and wrongly accused Gui Ren, so I was contemplating"
After some thinking, Ye Zhen Zhen continued " according to you, he climbed over the wall to enter, and since it didn't rain yesterday, then there should be some foot prints on the wall. Wang You Cai, bring a few people with you and look for clues, if you find it, then fine.. if you can't find it…. " her voice was gradually lowered and she did not complete her sentence.
"I, I also didn't know how did the man came in, I only saw that he was under the window, I ask your majesty to check properly"
"Of course I would investigate properly, I would not accuse the innocent, but" She stopped and continued " I would not let go of any ill intention person." She then asked Su Feng over, and whispered to her. Su Feng nodded and went out.
Arching his brows, Ji Wu Jiu asked "so, will the empress be reinvestigating this case?"
Ye Zhen Zhen took a sip of tea, and answered "to reinvestigate or not, the evidence will talk. Furthermore Xian Concubine is a clever person, the case that she has gave verdict to, definitely would be trustworthy"
Xian Concubine's complexion got dark, she used her handkerchief and wiped her mouth, cleared her throat just only wanted to say something, when Ye Zhen Zhen added "Your majesty, don't you think so?"
Therefore Xian Concubine's words were swallowed back. She turned to Ji Wu Jiu, he seem to be in a good mood, although he tried to hide his facial expression, but his eyes shows that he is happy, to the point where he did not say anything eventhough Ye Zhen Zhen just spite her, and he was only interested in looking at the show now.
Xian Concubine felt her heart turn abit cold.
After a while, Wang You Cai came back and said "Informing your majesty and the empress, I have searched through properly, we did not find any evidence of people climbing the wall"
Ye Zhen Zhen saw Xiao Zhu and Xian Concubine seems to have something to say, so she took the initiative to help them "even if there isn't, it also can't prove much, perhaps this person has a very good martial arts, that can step on snow without leaving traces."
That skill only existed in legends, although that was what Ye Zhen Zhen said, it was still not really possible, especially in the ears of the expert JI Wu Jiu. But he also did not say anything and only looked at Ye Zhen Zhen, with a heart to tease her, "so that is all?"
"Of course not, let's move to the evidence, this is a guard's clothing, but the person who place this item there forgot about something. This set of cloths is new, there is still the new clothes smell, it should not have been worn by anyone before. If Sun Gui Ren really had something with that guard, the cloths should be worn before, and should appear worn."
"If Sun Gui Ren made that item for him?" Xian Concubine asked.
"Good question, from the material and sewing techniques of this cloths, it should not be from our palace. It should be distributed by the guards office. Clothes from the guards office are normally made by outside and was given the job by the finance department to the local seamstress." Ye Zhen Zhen looked at Xian Concubine when she said the word finance department, and looked at Xian Concubine with a hidden meaning.
There was a lump of blood stuck in the throat of Xian Concubine, and even if she wants she can't get it out. The empress only looked at her, and did not mention that she was suspicious, so she didn't and couldn't deny. Looking at Ji Wu Jiu again, he was looking at her too, then immediately Xian Concubine's eyes got red "Your majesty…."
