Chapter 213: Imprisoned Again

Cheng Jinzhi has always felt that he will never make the kind of righteous and awe-inspiring act of sacrificing himself to protect others. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

But when she saw that Gao Heng and Concubine Hui were about to be in danger because of her mistakes, countless anxious thoughts flashed through her mind, but in the end, they stayed on this decision clearly and unequivocally.

Rather than all three of them being convicted for this, allowing the crown prince and Empress Zhao to succeed in their treacherous schemes and destroying the position that Gao Heng had won through hardships in the eyes of Emperor Zhou, it is better to let her bear all the responsibility alone.

After all, in this deceitful and gunsmoke-filled battle, she is the most irrelevant person.

Thinking of this, Cheng Jinzhi's originally excited emotions were suddenly withdrawn, and the whole person calmed down.

She pursed the corners of her lips, and after taking a deep breath, she deliberately didn't look at the expression on Gao Heng's face, stood up and walked to Concubine Hui's side, and solemnly bowed her head to Emperor Zhou, the words were clear and powerful.

"Your Majesty, all this was done by the courtiers alone, and now the courtiers are willing to confess their sins. ”

"Cheng Jinzhi, what nonsense are you talking about?!"

Gao Heng's deep and powerful voice came from behind her, and her heavy gaze pierced her back, causing her to clench her sleeves tightly.

Gao Heng has always been a person who understands righteousness, and this time he also knows that Cheng Jinzhi is eager to save people's hearts, and he doesn't really blame her.

But now seeing that she actually stepped forward and took everything for herself and Concubine Hui, she was surprised in her heart and suddenly suffocated, and she couldn't help but feel all kinds of torment.

How could he watch the woman he cherished and loved fall into such a desperate situation?

"Cheng Jinzhi, it seems... You're really not afraid of death. ”

Emperor Zhou stood up, staring at Cheng Jinzhi kneeling at his feet with a confused expression, his eyes were shrouded in a layer of gray floating dust, as if a raging wind and sand would blow in the next second.

Cheng Jinzhi didn't know how he mustered up the courage to "bow down and confess" in front of Emperor Zhou.

But she was sure that when these words of plead were spoken, something hidden in the depths of her heart seemed to dissipate the mist, revealing a shining corner, but in an instant, a sadness and reluctant pain diffused.

Of course she was afraid of death.

She has experienced life and death, knows how terrible death is imminent, and knows how much she longs to live well.

However, at this moment, she suddenly realized that there were some things that were more important than her life of Chang'an, brocade clothes and jade food.

"Your Majesty, this is not done by Jin Zhi, everything is done by the concubine alone, and it has nothing to do with anyone else, please please condemn Your Majesty!"

Concubine Hui looked at Cheng Jinzhi with a sad expression, and shook her head sadly, her eyes were already full of tears.

"Mother, it's all Jin Zhi's fault, it's Jin Zhi who has caused you, so don't excuse me anymore. ”

Cheng Jinzhi said solemnly, pretending to ignore Concubine Hui's hints, and raised his head with a cold face.

"Since you said that you did it..."Emperor Zhou said with a deliberate pause, his tone was very surprised, "Then you tell me, why did you do this?"

Cheng Jinzhi had long expected that Emperor Zhou would have such a question, and he groaned for a while, and said unhurriedly: "Because the courtiers hate the queen mother for making things difficult for her mother everywhere, and hate her for sending people to spread rumors outside to slander the reputation of the courtiers and His Royal Highness, and even hate her for wronging the courtiers and pushing the imperial grandson into the lake, so she will poison the osmanthus brew to vent the hatred in her heart." All of this was done by the courtiers alone, please punish Your Majesty, and return Concubine Hui to her innocence. ”

If it comes to the motive for poisoning, Cheng Jinzhi does have many reasons to resent the queen.

In this way, she portrayed herself in front of Emperor Zhou as a vicious woman who is good at holding grudges and has a small belly.

And the crown prince saw that Cheng Jinzhi suddenly ran out to bear the guilt, worried that the plan he had calculated would fall short, so he hurriedly interjected: "Father, there are still many loopholes in Princess Yan's words, this matter must not be so simple. You can't listen to Princess Yan's words alone, and let the real murderer who poisoned him go unpunished, Princess Yan is obviously trying to exonerate the real murderer!"

"Your Majesty, what the courtiers said is true, and this Chilingsan is also specially prepared by the courtiers to bring into the palace. ”

Cheng Jinzhi glared at the unrelenting prince, still looking at death as if he were at home.

"Cheng Jinzhi, I will never wronged a good person, nor will I let go of any traitor. ”

Emperor Zhou said meaningfully, waved his sleeves, and returned to the dragon couch and sat down, with a somewhat strange look in his eyes.

"If it was really you who poisoned you, how could you leave such a crucial piece of evidence as Chi Lingsan in Concubine Hui's palace instead of disposing of it? You are a smart person, you should know that once the incident in the east window happens, I will definitely send someone to search the palace, and if you find this thing, it will inevitably affect Concubine Hui. Also, as you said before, everyone knows that this osmanthus brew is from Concubine Hui, so if you poison it, it will also affect Concubine Hui. Isn't that a contradiction between what you are doing and what you are doing?"

Listening to Emperor Zhou's words, Cheng Jinzhi knew that he was still skeptical of his confession, but she couldn't make up any reasonable reasons.

When he was thinking about it, he heard Gao Heng suddenly say: "Father, this matter is very important, and there are many doubts in it, and the son begs his father to thoroughly investigate this case......

"Father, this matter has been stolen, it must be the three of them who conspired to poison the queen mother. Princess Yan just wanted to come out and apologize, and asked her father to investigate and give justice to her mother!"

"Your Majesty......"

"Shut up!"

Emperor Zhou shouted loudly, raised his hand to interrupt the noisy conversation of everyone, and after a long silence, he then looked at Cheng Jinzhi with deep eyes.

"Cheng Jinzhi, since you are so not afraid of death, I will fulfill you. ”

Emperor Zhou's tone was solemn, his expression was stern, but there was a trace of weirdness that people couldn't fathom, and Cheng Jinzhi was very uncomfortable.

His eyes were fixed for a moment, and then he shouted outside: "Come on, knock Princess Yan into the Nine Shadows Terrace, and wait for the fate!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that two royal guards guarding outside the palace had already entered the palace and were on standby, wanting to escort Cheng Jinzhi away.

"Jiuyoutai, what kind of place is that? It must be as eerie as that prison, right?"

Cheng Jinzhi thought silently, his eyes were already desolate, and the heart in his chest trembled irrepressibly.

"Cheng Jinzhi, why, why do you want to do stupid things?"

Gao Heng gritted his teeth, tightened the corners of his eyebrows and looked at Cheng Jinzhi, every word seemed to be filled with lead, so heavy that it was breathless.

"Don't worry, my Cheng Jinzhifu has a big life, and it won't be so easy to hang. ”

Cheng Jinzhi's eyes were red, pretending to smile lightly, trying his best to hide the sadness surging in his heart, and did not let tears seep out of his eyes.

"Hmm... You've saved me so many times, and it's time for me to save you. ”
