Chapter 10 Asylum on Trial
After several strong presses, Zhang Junfang still let Liu Gongzheng lead people to catch Gong Zhengsi, although she has a lot of unwillingness in her heart, but the status quo is like this, no matter how she argues with reason, it is just a waste of words.
In the deep palace, there are treacherous clouds, dangers everywhere, everyone is cheating, they are either trophies or victims. Today is Youyou'd rather die, tomorrow is her death, they are just an ant in the high wall of this Zhumen, if they can't steal their lives, they are doomed to perish.
Although Liu Gongzheng arrested her, he only looked around her carefully, without saying a word, which was unpredictable.
There was a rapid gasp outside the door, and it was the people who were sent to Anxi Palace by Liu Gongzheng when they were in Xianyang Palace, Liu Gongzheng looked back at the situation and asked eagerly: "What do you have to say from Niangniang?" ”
The people of Nadu calmed down their breath a little, and walked quickly towards Liu Gongzheng, "Niang Niang ordered Lord Niang to take full authority to deal with this case, whether it is torture or whatever, it is bound to be tried today, and the prisoner must be sent to Dali Temple for conviction before sunset." ”
After hearing this, Zhang Junyu consciously held his breath, he had heard that Wan Guifei's methods were cruel and ruthless, and today he realized that the rumors were true, if she really wanted to torture to extract a confession, I don't know if she could survive it, and suddenly her heart tightened, and she immediately looked back, "No!" Although I have no rank, I am also the crown princess to be chosen, how can you be interrogated at will! ”
"The girl was born with a sharp mouth", Liu Gongzheng sneered after hearing this, and walked to Zhang Junzhen, "The slave is not qualified to judge you, but the noble concubine has handed over this matter to the slave and maid to deal with, and the slave and maid are only acting on orders." ”
"This matter can be handled by adults, but the noble concubine is not the main palace, how can she meddle at will. Palace murder. If you really want to be tried, it should be tried by the queen of the middle palace, you want to judge me, you can", Zhang Junfang inadvertently raised his eyebrows slightly, "First bring the queen's will!" ”
"Oh?" Liu Gongzheng actually laughed more and more presumptuously, "Then according to what you say, the concubine Niangniang still has no right to control your life?" ”
"The adult's words are quite urban, when he is a senior who has been rolling in the palace for many years, he actually bullied a lady who has just entered the palace at this time, wouldn't it be a joke if this matter is said!"
"Presumptuous!" Before her words fell, a slap was ushered in, and Zhang Junyu immediately stretched out his hand to hold Liu Gongzheng's wrist tightly, and threatened: "If this slap really comes down today, I'm afraid that Wan Guifei won't be able to protect you in the future."
Liu Gongzheng laughed when he heard this, "The girl is really guts, but today..."
"Liu Gongzheng!"
A sudden call interrupted Liu Gongzheng's words, the voice was a little immature, and a little sharp, it came from the mouth of a little eunuch, this little eunuch was extremely delicate, white and tender, and cute.
Liu Gongzheng looked back when he heard the voice, and when he saw the person who came, he immediately led a group of palace people to make a blessing, "The slave and maid pay a visit to His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness is blessed." ”
It turned out to be the crown prince Zhu Youji, looking at the age of about sixteen or seventeen years old, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, a handsome face, and the charm of the late Concubine Ji Shu between his eyebrows and eyes, but this ink-colored regular clothes made him extremely cold, not as soft and delicate as Concubine Ji Shu.
Zhu Youzhi knew that Liu Gong was attached to the Wan family, and often relied on the power of the Wan family, and was really disgusted in the palace, so he didn't want to pay attention to it, but looked at the thin back of the woman kneeling in the hall, and was about to ask why she was kneeling, so he heard the woman say coldly: "Your Royal Highness the prince is blessed, the people are now wearing a sinful body, and it is inconvenient to salute His Highness, and I hope His Highness will forgive her sins." ”
This voice, it can't be her!
It's really embarrassing, if this woman knows that he is the prince, wouldn't it be a loss of face, Zhu Youzhu immediately turned around and walked towards the outside of the hall after hearing this, leaving the little eunuch alone and shouting, "Eh, master, where are you going!" ”
Zhu Youzhu stopped in response, looked back at the woman who was still kneeling in the hall, only to feel that this back was familiar, and when he saw the little eunuch coming to inquire, he frowned and said in a low voice: "You go to the Ministry of Rites and take her file in the name of questioning." ”
"Question?"
"Go!"
"Oh."
Liu Gongzheng saw that the prince had left, and immediately changed his face, raised his eyes and stared at the palace gate viciously, and the people immediately helped her to stand up, and then saw her brush her sleeves and scolded: "Hmph! I don't know what to do! ”
"My lord", the people who were on one side looked slightly sideways at Liu Gongzheng, and glanced at Zhang Junyu who was kneeling in front of him.
"What are you afraid of!" Liu Gongzheng didn't think so, but said aloud intentionally: "A dying person, can you still run to the prince and chew the root of my tongue?" After this. Palace, if anyone dares to go against the concubine, even if it is the queen, then they will have to die! ”
Zhang Junyu was immediately shocked when he heard this, he couldn't imagine that just because of last night's miscalculation, he would lose his life today, only blame her for being negligent for a while, Concubine Wan is determined to let her die, and now there is no way to save herself!
If the Queen Mother or the Emperor can be informed of this matter, will the case be thoroughly investigated?
"The girl still recruited, so as not to suffer from the flesh and skin, the slave and maid have torture tools here, and these things are not cleaner than Dongchang and Jinyiwei", Liu Gongzheng walked leisurely to Zhang Junyu's side.
Zhang Junyu had an idea, and immediately forced himself to stand up, stood up casually, and said slightly angrily: "Liu Gong is just so bold, do you really don't know whether to live or die?" ”
Seeing that Liu Gongzheng's expression was a little dazed, Zhang Junzheng also breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, although she was not sure that she would be able to leave this palace Zhengji, it might be delayed for a moment, who knows what will happen below.
Since the matter of choosing a concubine is in charge of the queen mother, then this case is very important, I believe that it will be transmitted to Renshou Palace in just half a day, and then the queen mother will intervene, and when the truth is revealed, even if Wan Guifei excuses herself to get rid of the crime, she can regain her freedom.
"Liu Gong is well-connected in this palace, why don't you know that the choice of the crown princess has already been decided? There are some things", Zhang Junzheng got closer and closer to Liu Gongzheng, and his voice became extremely low, "With you Liu Gongzheng, you can't do it." ”
Liu Gongzheng was surprised, a pair of apricot eyes stared at Zhang Junfang with doubt, the crown princess had already chosen, the concubine Niangniang had indeed told her in private about this matter, but Niangniang had never told her who that person was, could it really be this Zhang Junfang?
But Niang Niang told her to do whatever it takes today to find out the results, what does this mean?
"Although the crown princess has no rank, but in the end she is also the queen, and her status is only above the queen, and she is also above the concubine, Liu Gongzheng has already served as the palace princess, and this truth should be known", seeing that Liu Gongzheng was still half-convinced, Zhang Junzheng walked and said: "If Liu Gongzheng doesn't believe it, you can send someone to Renshou Palace to inquire, but the account between you and me will not be settled with a slap." ”
When he heard about Renshou Palace, Liu Gongzheng was surprised, and then Zhang Junfang sneered, "I know that Liu Gong is relying on Wan Guifei, but Wan Guifei has not been favored by the emperor recently, Liu Gongzheng must have heard about it, and now on the one hand, she is the queen mother, and on the other hand, she is an old and decrepit concubine, Liu Gongzheng thinks, who will the emperor face?" ”
Liu Gongzheng was really a little shaken when he heard this, and he smiled with a smiling face, but he didn't know how to speak, and walked towards Zhang Junyu with a smiling face, attached to her, "The slave maid has no eyes, I don't know that the girl turned out to be the princess, and she is offended, and I hope that the girl will not remember the villain and spare the slave." ”
"Liu Gongzheng really knows the current affairs", Zhang Junzheng smiled at Liu Gongzheng, secretly raised his right arm, and was about to slash towards Liu Gongzheng's dumb door, when he suddenly heard a chant outside the hall, "The Queen Mother has arrived!" ”
Zhang Junyu immediately withdrew his hand when he heard the sound, and after thinking about it, he knelt down beside Liu Gongzheng, hanging his head and blurring his eyes with tears, pretending to be endearing.
"The slave maid visits the Queen Mother, the mother is blessed", Liu Gongzheng was frightened, only to know that Zhang Junfang was really the head of the Queen Mother's party, and was thinking about how to be courteous with the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother rushed over to save people, and the news of Renshou Palace was really well-informed!
"Get up", Empress Dowager Zhou waved her hand casually, and the steps towards the main seat were fast, and when they could sit down, Liu Gongzheng and the others also stood firmly.
"The mourning family heard that there was a murder in Xianyang Palace, so they rushed to take a look, Lu Siyi said to the mourning family, the suspect has been taken to the palace by you?"
Liu Gongzheng glanced at Zhang Junfang, who was kneeling beside him, and lowered his head and whispered, "Yes." ”
"Presumptuous!" Empress Dowager Zhou's sudden slap had already made Liu Gongzheng lose his soul in shock, and hurriedly took the palace people in the palace to kneel on the ground together, "The Queen Mother is angry." ”
"The prince's choice of concubine is the head of the mourning family, why is there a murder case and no one reports the mourning family! Also, the mourning family never ordered you to start this case, how did you come from to dare to interrogate a lady without authorization! ”
"Back to the Queen Mother", Liu Gongzheng never dared to raise his head, and replied tremblingly: "Yes... It's the concubine Niangniang. ”
"Concubine?" Empress Dowager Zhou snorted coldly, "What kind of thing is she, a mere concubine, how can she be qualified to move a royal woman!" Come on, go and send the queen over, and the mourning family will try the case in person! ”
