Chapter 24O: Constructing the Curtain
If Empress Zheng is really told to act strictly according to the palace rules, Curtain Er may not be able to save her life, Curtain Er is her confidant, Qin Shujiu can't ask Queen Zheng to borrow this matter to kill her. After all, it was only with a purse and half a jade pendant, Queen Zheng was going to convict her of the curse of the curtain and the harem, and it was really difficult to convince her, even the curtain was also blindly complaining about the grievances, saying that she had not violated the palace rules.
Although Empress Zheng planned to deal with this matter directly, because of Qin Shujiu's hard momentum, she finally alarmed Liqing. The palace is not in harmony, how can the harem be safe, if the harem is uneasy, it is even more difficult to hold the stability, and the confrontation in the palace is finally introduced to the Yanying Palace, because when he heard this, Liqing was angry, so he ordered someone to intervene in this matter, but to see what was going on in the palace, it was so big.
As long as this matter is not done by Empress Zheng alone, the curtain will still be saved, although Qin Shujiu is not a little sure of this matter, but he also breathed a sigh of relief. His Majesty personally inquired about this matter, and this matter was very important, and immediately the chamberlain took the curtain to the Yanying Palace, and even Empress Zheng and Qin Shujiu also followed.
When he entered the Yanying Palace, he knelt down and knocked on the hall, and the curtain did not dare to speak or make a sound, for fear that it was because of the urgency of the words that made people feel that they wanted to cover up. The things in the palace are so big, even in the harem is also rare, at the moment Liqing is also a little angry in his heart, that is, he looked at several people in the palace with calm eyes, and after a strict sweep, Liqing said: "What is the reason, it is so troublesome." ”
There is no law in the palace like this, it is really insulting to the palace rules, and Liqing is also angry, that is, after Liqing questioned, Empress Zheng hurriedly stepped forward, and then said: "The concubines are not strict, and they have stirred up Your Majesty, and I hope that Your Majesty will forgive your sins." As soon as the words of pleading fell, Liqing motioned for her to get up, and then asked: "The handling is not strict, what is the queen doing here?" It made my entire harem uneasy. ”
The queen is the master of the harem, and she should handle the affairs of the harem clearly, but now she can't do one thing properly, so that Liqing is alarmed by it, and Liqing's words contain anger in it. Because of her own disadvantage, her majesty was angry, and Empress Zheng should ask for the guilt, but after the guilt, the truth of this matter should also be presented to the saint, and when she accompanied the sin, Empress Zheng said straightforwardly.
"Your Majesty, the concubine is a crime of lewd and filthy harem, and according to the palace rules, the harem should be sent to the court prison for heavy responsibility, but this matter has been hindered by others. The concubines were incompetent and failed to deal with them properly, alarming the saints, and hoping that His Majesty would be punished. ”
Filth and obscenity in the harem is a serious crime, Queen Zheng should deal with it, I didn't expect that someone would dare to interfere with it, at the moment Liqing was angry, his eyes were heavy, and Liqing said: "Who is so bold as to defile the harem and obstruct the queen from doing it strictly?" It was also a question, Queen Zheng owed her words, and then said the truth.
"Back to Your Majesty, this person is the palace maid of the self-simulated palace, and the concubine heard that someone had a secret report, and the palace maid of the self-simulated palace had an affair with the guards of the forbidden army, so she entered the self-simulated palace for a thorough investigation. Now the evidence is conclusive, I wanted to investigate and deal with it according to the palace rules, but the concubine refused to believe it, and blindly obstructed it, but the concubine couldn't do it, and it has been troublesome until now. ”
Empress Zheng felt that the evidence of this matter was conclusive, and it was reasonable to convict Curtain, but Qin Shujiu felt that she was obviously suspicious at this time, and she was also arguing with her. Qin Shujiu is a palace maid who trusts himself, but the palace rules are strict, so he can be despised by others, and immediately Liqing's face sank, and he looked at Qin Shujiu with cold eyes, and Liqing said.
"Obstructing the Queen? Shu'er, you're sex this time? The following offenders despise the palace rules, Shu'er, didn't I spoil you and don't even know the palace rules? ”
Qin Shujiu is just a concubine after all, Empress Zheng is still the queen of Jiang State, and Empress Zheng, Qin Shujiu's method is really too much. will attract Liqing's reprimand, Qin Shujiu has already known it, when he bowed down and bowed, Qin Shujiu pleaded guilty and said: "The concubine knows that she is guilty, and she hopes that Her Majesty will forgive her, but this matter has not yet been ascertained, and the concubine really feels that Niangniang's judgment is too fast." ”
"This matter has not been clarified? My concubine's words are not clear in this palace, is it not evidence that the purse and the jade pendant found in the maid's room are not evidence? Because of Qin Shujiu's presentation, Empress Zheng should have responded, and after the words, Qin Shujiu replied: "It's just a purse and half a jade pendant, so because of this matter, it is too far-fetched to assert that the curtain has fornication with others, but the two trivial things are also casual to carry." ”
"Carry it with you, it is difficult to become a concubine, which means that the palace deliberately framed this palace maid." As soon as Qin Shujiu's words fell, Empress Zheng immediately replied in a deep voice, even Liqing felt that her words were too excessive, so she immediately shouted.
"Shu'er."
After drinking hard, he already understood the meaning of the reprimand, and at that moment, Qin Shujiu was also stunned, and immediately pleaded guilty and then said: "The concubine categorically has no such intention, but just relying on such trivial things means that there is someone in the concubine's palace who is fornicating, and the concubine is difficult to believe." ”
This crime of fornication is heavy, if it is completed, Qin Shujiu will also have to be implicated and fall into a dereliction of responsibility, this matter is also a serious matter, it is indeed not good to be convicted of the crime with only two things in his hand, Qin Shujiu said bluntly, that is, he insisted on this matter and refused to let go. If there is no more detailed real evidence, she will never be able to watch Empress Zheng convict the curtain, and Empress Zheng is here? Since it is a move, since it is impossible to be unprepared.
Qin Shujiu bluntly said that the matter had not been thoroughly investigated, and since she wanted to find out, Empress Zheng responded to her invitation. When it was a bow, Empress Zheng said.
"Your Majesty, since Concubine Miao has not found out about this matter, but she can't count it as evidence based on a few things, Your Majesty has allowed her concubines, and she will investigate this matter in the Yanying Palace, but don't let Concubine Mo break the rules of the palace because of her personal feelings."
She was based on the matter, but when she arrived at Queen Zheng, she broke the rules of the palace because of her personal feelings, although Queen Zheng of Qingming Dynasty would definitely take advantage of this incident to pull herself, but Qin Shujiu could only swallow her heart for the time being, waiting for what Queen Zheng was going to do next.
Empress Zheng has decided that the palace maid has fornication, and Qin Shujiu feels that this matter is strange, since this matter has become like this, it is necessary to thoroughly investigate Yan Ming to give justice, and at the moment, Liqing is also because of Empress Zheng's invitation, signaling that she can find out this matter in the Yanying Palace.
Now that she has received His Majesty's grace, Empress Zheng is also grateful for her kindness, and she ordered Huang Fuming, who was waiting by her side, to carry people to the palace. He was ordered to retreat, and after a while, he saw the forbidden army guards escorting two people into the temple, and the two knelt down after entering the hall, and did not dare to raise their heads.
Suddenly, seeing the two of them escorted into the palace, Qin Shujiu was suspicious in his heart, but he didn't want to speak but waited silently on the side, and also saw the two of them bowing under the hall, and Queen Zheng said: "Your Majesty, since the concubine wants to strictly investigate this matter, the concubine is according to her request, and she investigated this matter in public." ”
After the words were backward, she turned around and looked at the two kneeling under the palace, and Empress Zheng said sternly: "Your Majesty is here, if you have the courage to say half a lie, this palace will be punished for serious crimes." ”
The saint can't lie in front of him, and he thinks that the two people are also clear in their hearts, Queen Zheng ordered someone to be escorted into the hall is an inner servant and a guard, and the person kneeling on the left side looks like an inner servant, as for the person kneeling on the right, the curtain knows it, and that person is the fellow of the curtain.
Lee Guard.
When Empress Zheng ordered someone to search out the jade pendant from her room, the curtain felt that this matter was afraid that it had nothing to do with her fellow countrymen, and now seeing him detained in the palace, she thought about it and felt that she had fallen into the trap of others.
Buckled into the Yanying Palace, the saint is in front of him today, and the inner servant should not dare to lie and deceive the saint, when he saw that Queen Zheng ordered them to tell the truth, that is, the inner servant who knelt on the temple was already afraid, and he knew everything.
He is an ordinary chamberlain of the Inner Servant Province, and he is also sent by orders, although he is only a mere chamberlain, he also talks a lot with the palace guards, and he can be regarded as a few words with this Li Guard, that is, when the occasional palace meets, he always stops to chat a few words. It's also a coincidence these days, when we met and talked, I found my daughter's purse on Li Huwei, he and Li Huwei are also acquainted, I didn't see it in the past, and when I saw it that day, I was curious, and I also asked by the way. Originally, Li Huwei refused to say, but under his repeated inquiries, he finally couldn't hold back and explained the origin of the purse.
The purse on Li Huwei's body was given by a good maid in the palace, and it was a token of affection. This lang is affectionate, the concubine is intentional, and the ability is the common sense of a person, but the palace rules are strict, and this **** thing is forbidden, if it is investigated, it will be strictly punished. Li Huwei said, but because of his repeated questions, he was happy to say the next word, but it made him frightened when it fell into the ears of the waiter.
Whether this matter should be concealed for Escort Li, or presented, the inner servant was also anxious, and in the end, he was afraid that he would be implicated in the future, and the inner servant finally went to the court. When she heard this, Empress Zheng was also stunned, and she didn't believe the words of the waiter. But when she ordered someone to escort Li Huwei down and interrogated her, Li Huwei was finally recruited.
not only recruited someone to fornicate with him, but also took out the purse that was used as a promise.
Li Huwei made a statement, and there was a purse as evidence, and the matter was also settled. secretly fornicating to confuse the harem, how could Queen Zheng not be angry, and in anger, she personally entered the palace to raise people, and wanted to resentence this matter to the palace rules.
This matter, now it sounds like a gathering of human and material evidence, and the curtain is not allowed to make any more excuses, and after hearing this, Liqing's face is also sunk, and he sits on the palace and does not speak. The waiter has been confirmed, and after the words fell, Empress Zheng should have looked at Qin Shujiu, and then said.
"My Fair Concubine said that this matter has not been clarified, but now it is so clear." After speaking, Qin Shujiu was straight, and then said: "This matter is just the words of this guard, how can it be explained." After the words fell, he looked at the curtain, and Qin Shujiu said: "Curtain, have you ever done such a dirty and filthy thing?" ”
is to question the curtain after the curtain is to knock back and say: "Back to your majesty, Niangniang, the servant is wronged, the servant has never had much friendship with him, and it is rare to meet each other, how can he say that he has fornication." ”
"I've never made much friends, how can I hear that you and him are fellow villagers, and since you are fellow villagers, you should have more intimacy with others. The two of them fell in love with each other because of their hometowns, and it was reasonable for them to commit such a vulgar thing in the end. There is no fornication, neither fornication, but why is your personal thing in his hands, and how can you find a token of love with him in your room. ”
is that the words fell and glanced at Huang Fuming, who had already understood it, and Huang Fuming was busy taking out two things and then serving them to Liqing. The thing that was offered was two and a half pieces of jade pendant, one of which was divided into two pieces, the left and right, one of which was found on Li Huwei's body, and the other was found in the curtain room.
Such a thing, if it is not for the affection, who will keep it privately.
When the jade pendant was presented in front of him, Liqing's eyes swept coldly, and it was clear at a glance that it was a split of a thing, and then Liqing moved his eyes to look at Qin Shujiu, and then said, "What else can I say now?" ”
Qin Shujiu wants to be aware of this matter, and now that Empress Zheng is aware of it, she has taken evidence for everything. Human and material evidence, everything is in front of you, and this one thing can be regarded as completed.
Empress Zheng and Li Huwei maliciously framed and falsely accused, and the curtain was really wronged, and when they heard the words, they were a strong plea, hoping that the saint could make a clear decision. The curtain will inevitably be wronged, Qin Shujiu is really clear in her heart, just for her to argue again, but Queen Zheng's mind is far more thoughtful than she thinks, and seeing that Qin Shujiu is still thinking, Queen Zheng will call for certification to enter the palace again.
This time it was a palace maid who entered the palace, and the palace maid bluntly said that he saw the curtain and Li Huwei in the pavilion that day, and the two of them sat together in the pavilion, and it made people feel extraordinary when they looked at it from a distance.
The matter of Guanting has happened, but it is not as the palace maid said, knowing that he entered the bureau set up by others that day, and the curtain is also speechless, so he can only say that he has been wronged, and he has never done such a thing that violates the palace rules.
At this point, it is Qingming, and the curtain is already quibbling, and seeing that she is still shouting that she is wronged, Queen Zheng should question: "Wronged, now that the human and material evidence are gathered, it has been ascertained, and your palace maid is still arrogantly saying that she is wronged." Your Majesty is still cunning in front of you, are you guilty? ”
It was this sharp inquiry that made the curtain panic, and when he knelt down, the curtain said: "The queen mother, the maid is really wronged, but the maid and Li Huwei met in the Guan Pavilion that day, but they just met and chatted a few words by chance." As for the intimacy of that act, there really is none. ”
"Not really, if not, why would you sit with him without you?"
"When there was an opening in Li's guard's clothes, the maid also thought that they were all fellow villagers, so they sewed for him by the way, just sewing, and there was no half-point. That purse was also dropped at that time, as for ......"
"As for what? As for the half of the jade pendant? Don't you want to sue the palace, that half of the jade pendant was not very wrong at that time? ”
If it's just that the purse doesn't fall very much, this matter makes sense, but if you take the wrong person's thing and bring the jade pendant back to the room, who will believe this thing? Why is the jade pendant on herself, the curtain didn't understand, and now that Queen Zheng asked like this, she was even more speechless, so she could only lie there trembling and pondering.
Empress Zheng is prepared for this matter, everything is properly prepared, no matter how wronged the curtain is, she is convicted of fornication, and no matter how much she shouts injustice, it is also a quibble. The defense is no longer in vain, and now it seems that there is no possibility of reversing this matter, even if Empress Zheng is so ruthless, it is powerless to call Qin Shujiu.
It was also indignant in his heart, it was Qin Shujiu who didn't know what to do, and he was surprised to hear someone laughing.
"What's going on? This king seems to have come at a bad time. (To be continued.) )
