    ??三??司??會(huì)??審??，??此??前??多??由??刑??部??尚??書??、??大??理??寺??卿??以??及??左??都??御??使??會(huì)??同??審??理??，??因??是??皇??帝??親??交??辦??的??案??件??，??錦??衣??衛(wèi)??也??會(huì)??協(xié)??同??，??可??今??朝??是??皇??帝??親??臨??，??便??有??些??不??好??辦??。

    ??主??位??自??然??是??由??皇??帝??坐??，??但??此??事??涉??及??天??子??家??事??，??極??為??敏??感??，??因??此??皇??帝??反??而??不??好??開??口??，??于??是??便??由??刑??部??尚??書??主??承??。

    ??那??婦??人??被??帶??了??上??來??后??，??一??直??落??落??大??方??，??毫??不??見??怯??色??，??在??堂??上??要??求??自??陳??身??份??后??井??井??有??條??地??回??答??。

    ??她??是??幾??十??年??前??因??家??鄉(xiāng)??水??災(zāi)??被??賣??到??許??家??的??，??便??跟??了??許??姓??，??名??叫??真??兒??。

    ??許??家??當(dāng)??時(shí)??還??在??地??方??上??，??后??來??得??李??大??人??提??拔??成??了??京??官??，??便??居??家??遷??到??京??城??。??她??因??在??丫??頭??中??年??長(zhǎng)??又??機(jī)??靈??，??所??以??被??撥??去??照??顧??許??家??小??姐??許??清??，??也??就??是??后??來??追??封??的??孝??安??皇??太??后??，??許??妃??待??她??情??同??姐??妹??，??連??入??宮??也??指??了??她??一??起??，??成??了??許??妃??的??左??膀??右??臂??。

    ??她??是??許??清??身??邊??最??得??力??之??人??，??深??宮??中??艱??難??陪??伴??，??生??產(chǎn)??時(shí)??握??著??許??妃??的??手??，??悉??心??照??顧??襁??褓??中??的??齊??恒??。??后??來??許??妃??病??重??，??李??首??輔??便??欲??自??己??的??女??兒??取??而??代??之??，??強(qiáng)??權(quán)??之??下??她??無??能??為??力??，??最??后??只??能??懷??揣??許??妃??臨??死??前??的??血??書??，??千??難??萬??險(xiǎn)??回??了??許??家??，??又??在??威??逼??利??誘??之??下??，??艱??難??保??存??下??小??半??張??血??書??，??隱??姓??埋??名??直??到??今??日??。

    ??她??的??口??才??甚??好??，???到??動(dòng)??情??處??，??自??己??也??紅??了??眼??眶??，??可??思??路??卻??分??毫??不??亂??。

    ??“??許??真??兒??，??你??自??稱??是??許??家??舊??仆??，??可??有??何??憑??證??？??”

    ??“??奴??婢??入??了??許??家??之??后??，??是??留??了??籍??的??，??大??人??盡??可??查??證??。??”

    ??“??你??的??奴??籍??自??進(jìn)??宮??后??便??去??了??，??只??留??下??進(jìn)??宮??前??的??記??錄??，??你??如??何??證??明??你??是??那??真??正??的??許??真??兒??？??”

    ??婦??人??不??慌??不??忙??，??大??膽??地??看??向??坐??在??最??上??的??天??子??，??回??答??道??：??“??孝??安??皇??太??后??生??產(chǎn)??后??，??一??直??是??奴??婢??照??顧??，??萬??歲??幼??時(shí)??，??奴??婢??也??曾??看??顧??過??多??時(shí)??，??萬??歲??天??縱??英??才??，??少??時(shí)??多??慧??，??或??許??還??記??得??奴??婢??的??樣??貌??。??”

    ??這??話??可??謂??大??膽??極??了??，??刑??部??尚??書??剛??要??呵??斥??，??便??被??皇??帝??輕??輕??抬??起??的??一??只??手??止??住??了??。

    ??皇??帝??坐??在??高??處??，??威??嚴(yán)??非??常??，??輕??易??不??敢??窺??伺??，??他??倒??沒??有??動(dòng)??怒??，??反??而??仔??細(xì)??打??量??了??一??下??跪??在??下??面??的??許??真??兒??，??開??口??道??：??“??朕??記??得??你??，??你??負(fù)??責(zé)??照??顧??過??朕??，??都??叫??你??真??兒??姐??姐??。??”

    ??許??真??兒??頭??一??次??有??些??激??動(dòng)??，??掏??出??手??絹??擦??了??擦??眼??睛??，??“??奴??婢??不??敢??受??萬??歲??這??聲??姐??姐??。??”

    ??櫝??玉??卻??溫??聲???道??，??“??你??自??然??當(dāng)??得??，??當(dāng)??時(shí)??母??后??產(chǎn)??后??虛??弱??，??你??還??割??rou??作??藥??，??只??為??了??她??的??身??體??能??有??所??好??轉(zhuǎn)??，??還??留??了??一??塊??疤??，??這??份??情??誼??，??朕??記??得??，??如??今??那??疤??可??好??了??。??”

    ??許??真??兒??聽??了??這??話??，??淚??掉??得??更??快??了??，??久??久??難??以??出??聲??，??然??后??伸??出??手??腕??，??果??然??露??出??一??塊??一??寸??見??方??的??疤??，??答??道??：??“??謝??萬??歲??垂??問??，??奴??婢??的??疤??雖??好??不??了??，??可??當(dāng)??時(shí)??若??能??換??得??孝??安??皇??太??后??一??絲??好??轉(zhuǎn)??，??奴??婢??萬??死??不??辭??。??”

    ??天??子??展??露??的??溫??情??總??是??格??外??動(dòng)??人??，??感??動(dòng)??得??來??聽??審??的??人??群??中??，??連??那??經(jīng)??年??看??慣??世??事??的??老??婦??都??忍??不??住??掉??了??眼??淚??。

    ??婦??人??頭??一??次??浮??現(xiàn)??了??些??猶??豫??，??但??眾??目??睽??睽??，??到??底??還??是??伸??出??了??手??。

    玲瓏紅豆玉骰的意像引自溫庭筠的詩“玲瓏骰子安紅豆，入骨相思知不知。   ”

    而“從此蕭郎是路人”是引自崔郊的，即昔日情郎變?yōu)槟吧?，而蕭郎被來指代情郎，有很多種說法，其中一個(gè)說法是梁武帝的長(zhǎng)子，昭明太子，編纂了，世有殊名，相傳曾與一女尼相戀，奈何身份差距太大不能相守，女尼思念成疾去世，太子種紅豆樹以寄托相思，紅豆樹也因此被稱為相思樹。

    所以這里用玲瓏紅豆玉骰和這句詩，就是取”贈(zèng)去婢“的名字和蕭郎典故隱喻二人之間的身份差別，因此這張帕子可以作為許真兒戀慕先帝，自覺被拆散而相思，怨恨將其變?yōu)槿ユ镜呐f主的證據(jù)。

    為防誤解，特此說明。
