When Qing Guiren didn't know what to say, Yuan Jinyu had already presented the process of Concubine Shu's interrogation yesterday, and what Xiao Fangzi said was recorded word for word.

After the emperor saw it, his brows tightened.

With the permission of the emperor, Yuan Jinyu began to explain: "Although the punishment of the mother concubine is a bit heavy, but the one who can persist under that kind of torture is definitely not an ordinary person, Xiao Fangzi is just a funny one in Concubine Li's palace, where does he have so much backbone?" And the confessions he said, including how he communicated with Concubine De before, and how many benefits Concubine De gave him, are all clearly recorded, if the father doesn't believe it, he can check whether those things are true now. ”

After that, she looked at Concubine De, with a smile on the corner of her mouth: "People are dead, but the traces of his life in this world are difficult to disappear so quickly, Concubine De, do you have anything else to say?" ”

Mu Que stood up: "Princess Ning, are you so sure that this matter was done by the king's mother?" ”

No wonder Mu Ze thinks too much, Concubine De's face has become extremely ugly.

Isn't it ugly? As soon as Concubine De heard Yuan Jinyu say this, she knew that the other party must have done a lot of evidence, and Yuan Jinyu and Mu Ze, if they recognized that they were murderers, they might even push behind their backs.

Therefore, if you continue to investigate, you will have an inextricable connection between yourself and that eunuch. At that time, she will not only use Wu Jieyu to frame Princess Ning, but maybe some people will say that she has bought off the eunuchs around Concubine Li, and she must not have good intentions towards Concubine Li.

At that time, what should she do?

Yuan Jinyu actually looked at Mu Que, and he was a little unbearable, but he couldn't bear it at all, and was quickly pinched down by her, but still said indifferently: "Which is right and which is wrong, this palace is not clear, so I hope that my father can adjudicate this matter, send someone to investigate the truth, and return the innocent person to innocence." ”

The water in this palace has always been very deep, just like the "lychee poisoning" of the Qing nobles before, she can be found on her, many things are actually very easy to control.

Yuan Jinyu may be able to understand Mu Que's mood, but this time, she can't be merciful.

Mu Ze originally looked at Mu Que coldly, and Mu Que's complicated eyes when she looked at Yuan Jinyu before were also remembered by her.

Now looking at Mu Que's anger, and even wanted to implicate Yuan Jinyu, Mu Ze directly stepped forward and protected Yuan Jinyu behind him, and then looked at Mu Que coldly, and said: "This king, this king will not interfere in this matter, I hope the imperial brother will not interfere either." If the royal brother insists, then don't blame this king for protecting this king's princess. ”

Mu Ze's words are already red. Nakedly is threatening Mu Que. The emperor didn't like any contradictions between their brothers, but he also knew that Yuan Jinyu was Mu Ze's reverse scale.

Concubine Shu has been bad to Mu Ze since she was a child, and after so many years, she has long since exhausted that little bit of mother-son love. If Mu Que said these words to Concubine Shu today, maybe Mu Ze would really not be so emotional, but as soon as he encountered Yuan Jinyu's matter, he was like a different person, and he was tyrannical all over.

Mu Que and Mu Ze's eyes met in the air, and they seemed to collide with sparks.

No one stopped them, nor did they speak out to persuade them, and finally, Mu Que took a step back.

Such a step only means that he will not interfere in this matter for the time being, but if Concubine De is really found out about something, then he has no choice but to stand by Concubine De's side.

After all, she only has a prince like herself, but Yuan Jinyu and Mu Ze who loves her.

When the emperor saw that his two sons almost didn't fight, his face became very bad, and his voice was two points lower: "Since Princess Ning has already submitted this confession, I will send someone to investigate." ”

A smile appeared on the corner of Qing Guiren's mouth, thinking that Concubine De must be dead this time.

Concubine De lowered her head and didn't say anything, anyway, she couldn't say anything back, so she didn't stop it.

The eunuch's confession last night was written in detail, so it didn't take much effort to investigate it today. The emperor was still waiting in the imperial study with these people, Yuan Jinyu and Mu Ze stood together, and Mu Que was standing beside Concubine De, wanting to comfort her.

Qing Guiren's expression now, no matter how you look at it, there is a little schadenfreude, but now, no one pays attention to her anymore.

The waiting time seemed to be a bit long, and even Concubine De, who was calm and indifferent on the surface, actually had tears in her palms.

Mu Que looked at her like this, and was very distressed. 's own mother hasn't been forced into this situation for many years.

And he also understands that when things come to this point, it is definitely not just Yuan Jinyu's calculations. Now Concubine De is on the cusp of this palace, the wall is down and everyone pushes it, maybe in the end, what comes to the surface will not only be the harm to Qing Guigui and Wu Jieyu.

Mu Que made up his mind that if it was really Concubine De's fault this time, then he would be willing to be punished instead of Concubine De. But for other black pots, he absolutely does not allow his mother to carry it for others.

In contrast, the emperor is the calmest one. After he gave the order, he re-read the recital.

Xiao Yuzi was always with him, helping the emperor hand over the brush, and other palace maids were polishing ink for the emperor with low eyebrows.

Yuan Jinyu and Mu Ze's complexions were relatively plain. Things have come to this point, and if the opponent still doesn't take the bait, then their game can only be regarded as a draw.

After almost an hour, a eunuch finally ran in and explained the results of the investigation to the emperor.

"Qiqi Sheng, the slave checked according to the instructions, and found that Xiao Fangzi's confession before his death was indeed true, and the slave also found this in the secret compartment of his room."

After that, the eunuch presented the small box to Xiao Yuzi, and then Xiao Yuzi respectfully handed it to the emperor.

The emperor took it, opened it and took a look, and directly recognized that this was Concubine De's jewelry. Throwing the box heavily on the table, the emperor looked at Concubine De coldly, and his tone was already disappointed: "Concubine De, now, what else do you have to say?" ”

All the facts are in front of everyone's eyes, it was Concubine De who bought Xiao Fangzi, and later Xiao Fangzi probably committed suicide in prison.

Qing Guiren looked at Concubine De triumphantly, looking forward to what she would say.

Concubine De, who was questioned, had already calmed down at this moment: "Your Majesty, do you really believe that if the concubine wants to bribe anyone, she will take her jewelry?" And Xiao Fangzi is dead and has no proof, do you only rely on those fabricated evidence, do you want to condemn the concubine? ”

The emperor was so angry that his face turned pale: "This is not evidence, then you say, what is evidence?" Is it really evidence that I caught you plotting to murder Princess Ning on the spot? ”

Mu Que saw that the emperor was furious, and immediately stepped forward to block Concubine De behind him, and the expression on his face was extremely solemn: "Father, maybe this is what someone is secretly manipulating, and the son asks to check again!" ”

"Don't favor your mother!" The emperor threw a teacup over and smashed it directly on the ground at Mu Que's feet, and the tea splashed everywhere, staining Mu Que's trouser legs.

Mu Que didn't dodge or dodge, he was still looking straight at the emperor, his eyes were full of trust and distress for Concubine De, as well as forbearance and disappointment for the emperor.

The emperor didn't believe the mother and son, but just looked at Concubine De: "Very good, you still refuse to admit your mistake until now?" ”

Concubine De suddenly sneered, and there was also a coldness in her eyebrows.

Before she entered the palace, she was one of the best bad tempers among the nobles in the capital, and the situation in her family was not much better than that of Yuan Jinyu. Yuan Jinyu can survive in that Xiangfu that eats people and doesn't spit out bones, so why shouldn't he be.

Later, when he entered the palace, he somewhat restrained his temperament, and after having Mu Que, he focused on this prince in everything. Maybe it's because she's a little older, and she's a little impatient after taking the phoenix seal, but she hasn't sat down in this position yet, how can she be so impulsive?

But the emperor just didn't believe her, and now even Mu Que was angry.

She looked at Yuan Jinyu with deep mockery in her eyes. How much water there is in this investigation, and how many suspicions there are, she doesn't believe that Yuan Jinyu didn't find out, but she just watched coldly, obviously no matter who the real culprit is behind the scenes, she has to drag herself into the water.

But she is a concubine, how can she allow herself to be defeated like this? So she just looked at the emperor: "If this is what the emperor thinks, then the concubine has nothing to say." ”

"Good, good! What a thing to say! The emperor's eyes widened slightly, originally in a high position, his majestic temperament should not be underestimated, and now it made everyone present feel shocked.

Mu Que was a little anxious, thinking about why the concubine was so impulsive today, and now this situation was too unfavorable for her, shouldn't she be thinking about how to explain to the emperor and make the emperor believe her? But instead of doing this, she even angered the emperor!

He wanted to persuade him, but he was stopped by Concubine De, and then he heard the emperor say: "Since Concubine De refuses to admit her mistake, she will be locked up in the Zongren Mansion, strictly guarded, and sent someone to interrogate her, straight."
