Chapter 440, borrowing a knife to kill
"Fucha Hechen, have you confessed?" asked Humming again.
The emperor shook his head, "The man has been abolished, but he still can't resist death." If he hadn't watched it firmly, he would have almost killed him several times. As he spoke, the emperor frowned, "He insisted that he did it alone, and he didn't admit that it was the queen who instructed ...... death" -- could it be that the assassination really had nothing to do with the queen?
He raised his eyebrows and said coldly: "The queen is really blessed to have such a loyal nephew!"
How could the emperor not hear the irony in his words? It's just that everyone has been tortured to such an extent, and they don't change their words...... The emperor's suspicion of the empress in his heart couldn't help but loosen a little. No matter how determined Fucha Hechen is, he is only fourteen years old after all.
How could he not see the hesitation on the emperor's face, and secretly felt bad in his heart. If even the emperor has doubts about whether he is the mastermind behind the queen, then if he wants to get rid of the queen, I am afraid that it will be difficult! The queen is the emperor's wife, she has done so many things that touched the emperor's bottom line earlier, but after all, she still kept the throne! !
"Ming'er, I'll ask the sticky rod to investigate this matter in detail. The emperor said slowly.
He snorted coldly to himself, "When will you want to investigate it in detail?" This kind of perfunctory remark that has no credibility is just an empty word! Secretly gritted his teeth, and after all, he didn't calculate Fucha Hechen's hard bones! Under all kinds of torture, he couldn't let go, which shows Fucha Hechen's extraordinary loyalty, let him betray and change his words first. I'm afraid it's impossible.
Merely...... His faithful person is not necessarily the queen!!
In terms of seniority, Fucha Hechen is not the queen's own nephew! He is just a cousin of a close branch! Even if the queen intends to marry her beloved daughter, Fucha Hechen is loyal. It should only be the Fucha family, not the queen!!
The queen is the greatest glory and backer of the Fucha family, so Fucha Hechen refused to recruit the queen, because he was afraid that if the queen was deposed, then the hereditary glory of the Fucha family's inheritance of grace would no longer exist!!
After careful analysis, there is a breakthrough in Ming's heart!!
"Since he is not even afraid of death, it is useless to torture him again. Humming said lightly. "Whether the queen's position is stable or not is related to the rise and fall of the glory of the entire Fucha family, and Fucha Hechen is a child of the Fucha family. Naturally, he would rather die than say anything that had harmed the entire family! If he resisted the responsibility of the crime alone, at most he would die! If he summoned the queen, he was afraid that everyone would be buried for him!"
The emperor's eyebrows sank, and he had to admit that Mingming's words hit the nail on the head. The emperor is not an unsuspicious empress. But in the end, there is no evidence to prove that it was the queen. What's more, the queen was grounded in Changchun Palace by him, and all her cronies were given to death, and the palace people he sent were all waiting for her. In this case, how could the empress pass on the news and instruct Fucha Hechen to carry out the assassination?
Perhaps, it was only the Fucha family who instructed Fucha Hechen, or maybe it was his father Fu De. Or maybe it's the queen's brother Fu Heng. They don't want the queen's already precarious throne to be protected because Ming'er has a child.
This was the result of the emperor's deliberations for a few days.
"The emperor only needs to agree to him. The assassination will not involve the Fucha clan, but only the mastermind behind the death. As long as the queen and the Fucha family are separated, everything will naturally be solved.
The emperor was stunned, "In this case, you might as well give it a try." The emperor may not have been suspicious of the empress, and even if Fucha Hechen did not admit that it was the empress who instructed him, the emperor did not fully believe the empress. It's just a little hesitant.
Immediately, the emperor paused, "But I am the honor of the Ninety-Five, and I have nine words, if I really allow him......"
Humming said lightly: "The concubine doesn't mind what the Fucha family is! I just want the person who killed Jing'er to pay for her life!!" -- all she wants is the queen's life!
The emperor nodded, so good, even if the queen deserves to die, he doesn't want the court to shake because of this.
It was in the evening that the Emperor returned to the dragon ship. He had a confession in his hand, a confession written in blood.
Apparently, Fucha Hechen had already confessed. Fucha Hechen assassinated the concubine and the emperor's heir, and as a result, killed the emperor's favored fourth princess Jinghuan, naturally it was difficult to escape death, and his father and brother would also be implicated because of his crimes, but I was afraid that the officials would not be able to keep it. Now that the emperor has promised not to involve the Fucha family, what a great grace? After weighing the pros and cons, Fucha Hechen confessed.
The confession said that when he was in Hangzhou, the queen sent a letter instructing him to act at the right time and get rid of the dragon fetus in Concubine Shu's womb. However, Concubine Shu's diet was tasted by eunuchs, and he had no chance of poisoning at all. So he had to keep holding on until the royal drive back to Luan, which was getting closer and closer to the capital, and he knew that he couldn't delay any longer, otherwise once Concubine Shu returned to the palace, he would have no chance to start!!
So he used the crossbow arrows equipped by the imperial guards, and took advantage of the night to assassinate Concubine Shu with secret arrows! Unexpectedly, the fourth princess suddenly pushed Concubine Shu away, so she missed a move and killed the fourth princess......
That's all the cause and effect.
"The secret letter that the queen gave him was also found. The emperor said with a gloomy face.
"Oh, he didn't burn it?"
The emperor snorted coldly: "He kept that thing, and originally planned to use it to threaten Li Rongbao and seek official promotion!!" - Li Rongbao is the father of the empress.
Hao Ming couldn't help laughing, it turned out that the Fucha family was not monolithic!! Groaning slightly, Hao Ming asked again: "The queen was grounded in Changchun Palace by the emperor, so how did she pass on the news and instruct Fucha Hechen to assassinate her?"
The emperor's face suddenly turned ugly, and he was so angry that his face was about to distort, "It's not a good thing that Ji Lantai did!!"
Ming's face froze, "Second princess, second princess is also involved?!" - a child who is only eleven years old, even ......
The emperor shook his head, "Ji Lantai doesn't know the inside story, he just helped the queen deliver the news!"
Only then did Ming understand that although the emperor had grounded the queen, no one was allowed to visit. But the imperial concubine took pity on the second princess, and specially begged the emperor to allow the second princess to visit the queen once a month. Presumably this time, the queen passed the secret letter by the hand of the second princess.
Queen, queen, she has been imprisoned in Changchun Palace, and she is still full of such means!!
Counting the days, that is, after she was pregnant for three months in the full moon, the emperor reported her pregnancy back to Beijing and informed the queen mother, and then the queen asked Fucha Hechen to take action.
Wait a minute!!
Hao Ming's heart suddenly cooled, the emperor had always kept her pregnancy a secret! It wasn't until three months before he told the queen mother in a letter to the queen mother!!
Dowager!!!
The Emperor didn't tell the Empress that she was pregnant!!, in that case, how did the Empress know that she was in the ground?!!
Oh, the praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind!!
Sure enough, the Queen Mother is the most scheming one!!
Just like when she killed her second elder brother Yonglian, she used the most clever strategy - borrowing a knife to kill !! (to be continued.) )
