Chapter 730: The Truth Revealed
Dong Ruyi believed the queen's words, and with the queen's ability, as long as she got the phoenix seal, she could completely create human and physical evidence, and then lead the matter to Concubine Xian or Concubine Shu.
Dong Ruyi nodded, now I'm afraid that only Hongjuan knows the truth. But how can you make Hongjuan speak? Dong Ruyi couldn't help but be silent.
Seeing Dong Ruyi's indifferent expression, the prince thought that Dong Ruyi didn't believe him, after all, the queen mother had said it clearly, if such words didn't come from him, the queen mother wouldn't believe it.
The prince suddenly became anxious, "Ruyi, you believe me, I really don't mean to hurt Mrs. Dong." He looked lonely, "I know that many people think that I am not worthy of the throne of the crown prince, but they don't know that I have never wanted to compete for the throne." If it weren't for the fact that Da Zhou could no longer withstand the palace changes, I would like to ask for the title of king, and then take the queen mother to leave the dark Kunning Palace. ”
The queen said distressedly: "Child, it's useless for the queen mother, and I can't take care of your feelings." If she wants to protect herself, she must retreat, but in this way, all the gossip will have to be borne by the prince.
The crown prince grabbed Dong Ruyi's arm, "Ruyi, my cousin is not a confused person, don't say anything else, just say that this prince's position, as long as I have nothing wrong, don't say that my father will not abolish me, even the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty can't find a reason to abolish me." As long as I am not abolished, the gate of Kunning Palace will open sooner or later, I really have no reason to harm Mrs. Dong!"
Dong Ruyi patted the prince's shoulder, "Cousin doesn't need to explain, your words are as good as you wish." ”
Dong Ruyi said and walked out.
The queen and the crown prince looked at each other, Dong Ruyi just left them here?
For Dong Ruyi, she would rather kill 10,000 by mistake than let one go. It's just that now that the truth is revealed, she won't wronged the prince, let alone let go of Concubine Xian.
Hongjuan knelt outside the hall, she was worried that the prince would not be able to get out. But with the departure of the emperor and the arrival of her father-in-law, her heart sank even more.
"Commander Zhang, please take Hongjuan and Ben Hou for a trip. Dong Ruyi's cold voice sounded.
Zhang Yi said: "Yes." "Just now, the chamberlain brought an edict, saying that the matter of Mrs. Dong was handled by Ruyi Hou.
Dong Ruyi took Wang Xi, Zhang Yi, and Hongjuan straight to the east study.
The palace maids and chamberlains in the east study bowed all the way, with great respect, obviously the emperor's favor was not fake.
Entering the east study, Dong Ruyi said, "Hongjuan, look up." This is where Ben Hou stays on weekdays, and the recitals here are all approved by Ben Hou. ”
Hongjuan's eyes widened, and she looked at the book on the table incredulously.
Zhang Yi and Wang Xiyuan knew about this, so they were not surprised by Dong Ruyi's words. They were just curious, what did Ruyihou bring Hongjuan here for?
Dong Ruyi sat down, and then said word by word: "You should have seen the Queen Mother and Her Royal Highness the Crown Prince just now, do you know why they came?"
Hongjuan was silent, her heart was in turmoil at the moment.
Dong Ruyi didn't wait for Hongjuan to answer, and continued: "Deputy Commander Hu has already caught the people who answered you, and confirmed that those people were sent by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also admitted this, but refused to admit the harm to Mrs. Dong. ”
Hongjuan was excited, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a good person, this matter really has nothing to do with His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
Dong Ruyi sighed, "Do you think that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a good person, or that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wronged, and you will clear his suspicions? Ben Hou said it directly, the prince's words cannot win the trust of His Majesty, unless there is other evidence, the abolition of the prince is just a matter of today and tomorrow. ”
Hongjuan's expression was dull, she was in tears, and she couldn't stop saying, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, it was the slave who harmed you, and it was the slave who harmed you!"
Wang Xi was shocked, His Majesty actually wanted to abolish the crown prince?
Zhang Yi stood behind Hongjuan, he was also shocked, now that the matter has not yet come to light, how could His Majesty make such a hasty decision?
Hongjuan raised her head and burst into tears, she really regretted it at the moment. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but she doesn't want to hurt people the most!
Dong Ruyi got up, she walked in front of Hongjuan, "Ben Hou and the crown prince and the prince of Qing grew up together, if this matter is done by the queen's mother, Ben Hou believes it." But if it was said that the prince did it, Ben Hou had doubts. You don't want a good person like the prince to suffer such an unjustified injustice, not to mention that the prince has been pleading for you and your people all the time. ”
Hongjuan lowered her head and did not answer. But Dong Ruyi knew that Hongjuan's heart had been shaken.
Dong Ruyi continued: "You really can't bear to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince lose his position as the crown prince, and even his life?"
When Hongjuan heard this, she couldn't cry anymore.
Dong Ruyi still said to himself, "If you don't believe it, you can ask the prince, even if you ask Commander Zhang, in this deep palace, what will happen to the deposed prince? ”
Hongjuan exclaimed, "No......"
Zhang Yi's expression began to be weird, the more he listened, the more he felt that something was wrong, he looked at Wang Xi, Wang Xi lowered his head at this time, and obviously heard the problem in his words.
Dong Ruyi sat back, "Actually, if you don't say it, Ben Hou also knows the person who instructed you, Concubine Xian." You have also seen the situation here in Benhou, and Benhou promises that neither Concubine Xian nor the Seven Princes will die well. If you tell the truth, you will not only save the prince's life, but also your people. But if you don't want to say it, then it will only hurt the people who care about you. ”
Dong Ruyi opened the book as she spoke, not glancing at Hongjuan.
After a cup of tea, Dong Ruyi closed the book in his hand, "What Ben Hou doesn't like the most is that it is difficult for a strong man, since this is the case, then forget it." Benhou's affection for the prince's cousin can be regarded as benevolent and righteous. ”
She got up as she spoke, "I'm tired of Commander Zhang taking her back to the prison of the Criminal Department." ”
Zhang Yi should be, pulling Hongjuan with one hand and walking out.
Wang Xi suddenly became anxious, this Hongjuan had already shaken, and he was about to tell the truth, how could the little marquis send people away? He said anxiously: "Little marquis, as soon as Hongjuan leaves, what can His Royal Highness the Crown Prince do?"
The corners of Dong Ruyi's mouth rose slightly, and then motioned for him to look at the door.
Wang Xi looked at the door, and when Zhang Yi walked to the door, Hongjuan began to struggle, and when she saw that she couldn't struggle, she shouted directly: "The slave said, the slave said, the slave said, ......."
As soon as Zhang Yi's hand was released, Hongjuan fell to the ground.
Hongjuan cried whining, and when she finished crying, she told the truth.
What Hongjuan said coincided with what the prince said, Hongjuan was the person of Concubine Xian, and Concubine Xian used a bitter trick on Hongjuan and a few people in order to insert eyeliner elsewhere.
