Chapter 443: The Evidence Is Conclusive
"Guifei, don't you have anything to say?" The Empress Dowager was especially angry, after all, she was the one who raised Chunjia single-handedly.
No matter how estranged the mother and son are, there is a sincere affection in the end.
Moreover, on Chinese New Year's Eve, the emperor learned that she was highly poisoned and that her time was running out, so he threw down the palace banquet and braved the wind and snow to personally rush to the palace to fulfill her filial piety, which also eliminated a lot of resentment against this son in the heart of the empress dowager.
Where can I see the situation of the palace concubine's betrayal of the emperor at this moment?
Turning his head at the moment, his eyes were like torches, he looked at Yun Fenghuan tightly, and shouted, "This Yi family mourns that he was born in a humble background, and according to the rules of the palace, he can't easily seal a concubine!" It was you who tried to ensure that she jumped all the way up the ranks, and now she is in Zhaorong! As a result, she did such a shameless thing at the birthday banquet of the mourning family! You...... You ......"
The Empress Dowager seemed to be very angry, and couldn't help but hold down her heart, and scolded bitterly, "Do you want to be angry and mourn to death!! ”
"The queen mother is angry!" Seeing this, the queen hurriedly stepped forward to support the Empress Dowager and whispered relief, "Queen Mother, all this is the fault of the concubine, the fault of the Yi family, and even more so the fault of Du Langu, but what does it have to do with the queen mother?" Please also ask the queen mother not to harm herself because of the crimes of others! ”
After some appeasement, he also looked at Yun Fenghuan and said in a deep voice, "Concubine Min, you are loved by Your Majesty." But the Yi clan you are carrying in one hand has done such a heartless and shameless act, you ask yourself, do you feel sorry for Your Majesty, sorry for the Sixth Palace, sorry for ......"
Yun Fenghuang's face turned pale, and he suddenly interrupted her words: "The two maidens, what the guards said just now, can only prove that they happened to be in the grove and met the Yi family and this surnamed Du together. But whether they have a personal affair between them has not yet been clarified, so why rush to cuckold His Majesty's head? Could it be that the two mothers really hope that Your Majesty will be betrayed? ”
"So far, are you still thinking about quibbling?" The queen sneered, "It's just that you tell the palace that as a palace servant, is it not etiquette to be alone with a middle-aged minister, or in a secluded and uninhabited grove?!" ”
Yun Fenghuang glanced at Du Langu coldly, Du Langu looked at her fearlessly, and even looked suspicious in her eyes, but the concubine quickly turned her eyes to look at Yi Xingen, with a warning in her eyes, and said slowly: "Of course this is not etiquette, but, from beginning to end, the two ladies never asked Yi Shi why he would appear there, right?" To put it mildly, what reason does Yi have to betray His Majesty? ”
"In terms of the identity and status of the people she serves, what kind of thing is this surnamed Du, and he deserves to be compared with His Majesty?"
"In terms of posture and talent, this surnamed Du is also not worthy of lifting shoes for His Majesty!"
"In terms of age, Your Majesty is also similar to this surnamed Du. Is it worth Yi's temptation to the surname Du? Although Yi's background is humble, judging from the fact that she first entered the palace and took refuge in the concubine, her eyesight is not bad! ”
"Let's talk about Yi's status in the palace, the two mothers also said just now, in terms of her background, it is a surprise to be able to be a concubine, not to mention that she is now in Zhaorong, and she has a concubine
The concubine is taking care of it, and there are two biological princesses under her knees! Although Zhao Qingyang is in front of the palace, it is not convenient to meet her, but the Seven Imperial Daughters are raised by Yi Shi herself! ”
"Let's talk about the emperor's favor again, because of the newcomer's entry into the palace in the past two years, the Yi's emperor's favor is not as good as before, but Your Majesty looks at the face of the Seven Imperial Daughters, how can he forget her? I always go there a few times a month. ”
"If Yi's family wants red apricots out of the wall, then the biological mother of the ten princes, Ping Xianyi, won't she even let go of the eunuch?!"
Gu Zhen laughed angrily: "This palace is planning to ask Yi Shi well, obviously His Majesty is not thin on her, why is she so kind and will take revenge!" In the eyes of the concubine, it is evidence of Yi's innocence?! ”
"Tell me, why are you in that woods?" The concubine ignored the queen's words, looked at Yi Xingen, and said slowly, "To be honest, this palace is here, so it will naturally be in charge of you." Hongu remembers that you have always been calm, and you are not the kind of person who has nothing to do to move around. Especially the Seven Princesses are still young and very clingy. It's even more impossible for you to throw her to the palace people and go to that grove alone! But what is there that makes you have to go over? So much so that I met this surnamed Du who I didn't expect at all? Well? ”
"Concubine, don't mess around here!!" Yun Fenghuan's words almost clearly guided Yi Xingen to retract her confession in her tone, and the queen naturally couldn't tolerate it, and said with a calm face, "No matter what reason Yi Shi used to pass, she must be really innocent, after seeing Du Langu, why didn't she leave immediately?!" And what the guards saw, it was Yi Shi who pulled Du Langu and didn't allow him to leave! ”
Yun Fenghuang had a cold face, and said in a cold voice: "Yi's delicate girl, if the surname Du is bought and framed, then there is a way to detain her!" The queen is the lord of the six palaces, and Yi's as Zhaorong is also your subordinate. When something like this happens, you don't help Yi, but you suspect Yishi everywhere, what is the reason? ”
As he spoke, he continued to ask Yi Xingen, "You said, you went to the grove and saw this surnamed Du, what happened after that?" Did he intimidate and threaten you? If that's the case, even if you say it, is it difficult, do you think that the people of this palace can't shelter you here? ”
Obviously worried that this concubine would not dare to speak out out of some concerns, the concubine's tone was a little gloomy, "You don't think about other people, you don't think about yourself, you also think about your two biological flesh and blood!" Zhaoqing is remembered in the name of the main palace. What about the Seven Princesses? If you are soft-hearted for a while, call the Seven Princesses ......"
"Guifei, you're enough!" The Empress Dowager looked at this with cold eyes, and felt that the queen was really incompetent, and she grabbed such a handle, and she was still entangled by the concubine to this moment.
Of course, the Queen Mother herself regretted it in her heart.
She really didn't know what was going on, she just thought that neither the queen nor the concubine were good things.
Although the queen caught the handle of the concubine at that time, she had to prevent the two of them from joining forces to trap her, so she agreed to the concubine's request and let her come over
。
Knowing this, she would have rejected the concubine.
Without Yun Fenghuan present, relying on the confessions of the guards, the matter of Yi's exit from the wall was finalized, is that not an understatement?
As a result, he was suspicious for a while, and he actually gave Yun Fenghuang a chance to die and struggle!
The Empress Dowager Mother had a cold face and said slowly: "In any case, it is a fact that the Yi clan is alone with a foreign man and a widow, and with this, you, the person who carried the Yi clan, should avoid suspicion!" ”
Yun Fenghuang looked annoyed and wanted to say something, but Empress Dowager Yuan immediately pressed her chest again, and gasped slightly: "The mourning family is old, and after the previous toss, it is becoming more and more useless now. If you feel that the mourning family is not qualified to say this about you, then the mourning family doesn't want to say more. ”
"......" The concubine's eyes flashed, thinking that she was worried that she would be convicted of despising the queen mother, so she didn't dare to contradict it, so she only endured her breath, "The queen mother's lesson is that the concubine is reckless." ”
After a pause, he was still unwilling, and said, "It's just that the Queen Mother, you know, Yi's has been in the palace for many years, and he has always been cautious in his words and deeds, how can he do such a rebellious thing?" There can be no deception in this! Moreover, the concubine said a heart-wrenching word: There were many girls who were selected to enter the palace at the beginning, but Yi's family was loved by the concubine and His Majesty, and was able to make an exception for the concubine. It can be seen that his heart is splendid! Such a person, even if he really fornicates with a foreign man, is so easy to be caught? Eighty percent, someone deliberately framed it! ”
As he spoke, he glared at Du Langu again.
Obviously, he suspected that this foreign minister was bribed by someone to trap his henchmen and generals.
The Empress Dowager ignored her complaints, and also looked at the group of people kneeling below, and said slowly: "Okay, the testimony of the guards just now, these people from the mourning family have heard it very clearly. Since the concubine is suspicious, then let's do it, Yi Shi and Du Langu will talk about it separately, what is going on? ”
"......" Yi Xingen was about to cry, and subconsciously glanced at Du Langu, but after touching the other party's cold expression, he immediately shrank for a moment, turned his head, and said in a low voice, "The concubine is ......."
After saying two words, he subconsciously looked at Yun Fenghuan.
Seeing that Yun Fenghuan's eyes were like knives, he shrank even more, and hesitated for a moment, the Queen Mother was impatient, but she gritted her teeth, turned her heart sideways, and said in a deep voice, "The concubine has just eaten a few more wines, and she is a little bored. So I went for a walk in the grove. ”
The queen snorted, "Then what's the matter with bumping into Du Langu?" One of you is a concubine of the heavenly family, and the other is a minister, don't you know how to avoid suspicion after you meet? ! ”
"Because the concubine drank too much at that time, she will ...... Mistaken Lord Du ......" Yi Xingen clenched his fists and whispered, "Mistaken Lord Du for ...... Be Your Majesty! So he pulled the corner of Master Du's clothes and said something...... Something that shouldn't be said! ”
She didn't dare to raise her head when she said this, especially avoiding Yun Fenghuan's gaze, and said quickly, "All this is the fault of the concubine's greed!" Lord Du wanted to leave immediately, but he was grabbed by the concubine and couldn't leave. ”
The Empress Dowager sneered and turned to Du Langu: "Is that really the case? ”
Du Langu was silent for a moment and didn't speak, as if acquiescing.
The Queen Mother then looked at the queen and said unhurriedly: "Listening like this, it doesn't seem to make sense......
I remembered, "What about Tong Shi?" Check it out, how many days has the emperor not been to Yi's place? ”
If the emperor did snub Yi for some days, it would be forgivable for Yi Xingen to lose his temper like this; But if the emperor had only been there recently, it would have been obvious nonsense.
And to tell the truth, Yi Xingen just saw Du Langu's desire to talk and ignore the concubine's hint that she would take all the blame off, saying that she and Du Langu were innocent, and the blind didn't believe it!
So the Queen Mother is not in a hurry.
She believes that there is something to do with the two, and no one knew about it before, but now that the stuffing is exposed, how can she find out the clues with her rhetoric!
After a while, the harem people took Tong Shilai, and saw that the top Chunjia had only gone to see the Seven Princesses five days ago, and stayed at Yi Xingen's place.
At this time, the queen mother and the queen's faces were very relieved and gloomy, but another palace person hurriedly came, and told the queen in public: "Back to the mother's words, the slave maid just went to the banquet to ask, and the people in front of Zhaorong Niangniang took the silver two days in advance to entrust the palace people who served at the banquet of the first hundred officials, so that when they saw Lord Du get up and leave the table, they went to the female family to inform!" ”
And Zhaorong Niangniang did leave the table under the pretext of being too drunk just now, but the surrounding ladies could see clearly that Zhaorong Niangniang actually drank two fruit wines from beginning to end. At the previous banquet, Zhaorong Niangniang drank more than a dozen similar drinks, and she was also calm, and there was no drunkenness! ”
"When Zhaorong Niangniang left, she still took the Seven Princesses with her."
According to the confession of the palace maid who took care of the Seven Princesses, she carried the Seven Princesses and walked back with Zhaorong Niangniang, but when she was halfway through, she was ordered by Zhaorong Niangniang to put down the Seven Princesses and stay in place to wait. After that, Zhaorong Niangniang left with the Seven Princesses in her arms, and after a while, she wiped her tears and sent the Seven Princesses back, and asked her to lead the Seven Princesses back to their residence first......"
The more the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother listened, the more angry they became, and they asked Yun Fenglian again: "What more do you say?!" ”
