Chapter 144: Confession
The emperor went to see Shun Guiren a few times that night, although he only said a few words, Shun Guiren also felt that he was taken to heart by the emperor, Hua Ying heard that the emperor had passed, so he didn't go, and stayed in Jingyang Palace to take care of Yinze, Yinze didn't see Eniang much the day and night before, and his mood was already anxious and low, and Hua Ying was a little distressed.
Two days later, Li Quan did send a confession on time, this confession is a collection of words said by many people in Changchun Palace, so it is as many as ten pages, when the emperor saw it, he felt his brows jump, it seems that what Hua Ying said is true.
Originally, the mouths of several girls were very tight, but the grandmothers did change their methods and arrested Ru'er's sister who was also doing things in the palace, and the torture was no longer used on Ru'er, but on her sister, but in half a day, Ru'er burst into tears, crying and saying everything, even if she wanted to stop it, there was no way.
Mama also said that if they didn't recruit, the emperor would find their relatives one by one to torture, only the punchline was still so tough: "My life is given by my mother, and my mother is my only relative, if you want to find it, you can find it." "Punch Words is indeed an orphan, and when he entered Fucha Mansion, he was by Concubine Ru's side.
But the others still have weaknesses in the end, so they cleaned the rest of the bottom of Concubine Ru.
In order to ensure fairness and justice, the emperor also specially chose this day to ask the queen mother to bring Li Quan over, everyone in the harem sat here, the emperor took the weighty confession testimony in Li Quan's hand, first glanced at it casually, and then because the content on it was really impossible to ignore, people couldn't take their eyes off, so he looked at it intently for a long time, until he basically read all the words, and then raised his head with a complicated expression.
"Why does the emperor have such an expression, is it really wronged like a concubine?" Du promised to wait for a long time, and he didn't see the emperor say a word, so he asked, but Hua Ying knew this man, the more he was like this, the more angry he became, and this matter must not be good.
The emperor ignored Du's promise, but clutched the testimony, sighed heavily, angry mixed with disappointment, he handed the testimony to the queen mother on the side, let her take a second look, maybe also let the queen mother take a look at what the concubine has done over the years, to decide how to deal with it.
The Queen Mother was also incredulous after reading it, and the amplitude of the rise and fall of her chest increased, and the Queen hurriedly said: "The Queen Mother is angry, let's talk to everyone about something first." ”
The queen was also a little apprehensive in her heart, after all, she couldn't see what was written on it, even if Yao Er was not noticed, but she did something wrong, and she was afraid that the ghost would knock on the door.
Seeing so many people waiting, especially Hua Ying's gaze, the Queen Mother sorted out the general meaning of the confession, and then said: "Concubine Ru has been in the palace for so many years, and she has done a lot of things. Some trivial things should not be said in front of so many people, and when the time comes, the queen will let the harem concubines take turns to watch it. ”
"The main thing is that Concubine Ru coerced Concubine Ji, repeatedly used the eldest princess to fix her favor, and wanted Concubine Ji to help her raise a child. After the draft was held three years ago, Concubine Ru was jealous of the favor of the young concubine, and then because of Qiaosi's distrust of the moon concubine at that time and the disappointment and resentment of beating herself, Witty Words went to win over Qiaosi, and successfully persuaded Qiaosi to take revenge on the Yue Concubine, and when Yun Concubine was pregnant with the fifth elder brother, she did something to the light gauze brocade, not only when it was transported to the Internal Affairs Office, but she had already moved her hand once at the post station, and after entering the palace, she asked Qiaosi to steal the pollen again in order to observe whether Qiaosi was sincere. But Yun Concubine was lucky, and gave it to Ji Concubine and the eldest princess, and then used ingenuity to put the charge of Yun Concubine's second miscarriage on Yue Guiren, and she deliberately hinted at the flower room five times, and waited for the flower room to find hydrangeas, so she did not continue to make trouble. ”
"The fact that I deceived the fifth elder brother's nursing mother into taking drugs that inhibit the growth of children in an attempt to make the fifth elder brother's child dementia was also done by the concubine, and it was even more to wronged the noble people and drag Concubine Jiang."
When she said this, Hua Ying's tears of excitement and resentment were about to overflow her eyes, what she thought was not wrong, all this was done by Concubine Ru, and now the truth is revealed, it is really an eye.
Subsequently...... For example, the concubine attacked the concubine who had just entered the palace in Qingliang Garden, and Fei Chang added drugs to the clothes promised by Du to make it difficult for women to get pregnant, except for the nobles. Over the years, Concubine Ru and Fucha's family have been working together and have received a lot of money, most of which is used to buy and sell officials or deal with cases, adding up to more than tens of thousands of taels of snowflakes and silver. ”
"Oh my God......" Concubine Jing let out a low cry, and most of the others had such expressions, 10,000 taels of silver, that must be a wealth that ordinary people can't exchange for thousands of lifetimes, and it was so easy to get into the hands of the Fucha family and Concubine Ru, and if it continues to develop like this, is it that the country is going to change hands?
Seeing that there was no Yao'er, the queen finally put her mind at ease, and the slaves who wanted to confess would not deliberately mention that a lot of attention was made by Yao'er, so she pretended to have just known and lamented: "I didn't expect Concubine Ru to do these wrong things over the years, which really shocked the concubine, this is also the concubine's dereliction of duty, and she didn't find out what she did, so that so many sisters in the harem have suffered." ”
"There is another thing, when the minions searched the Changchun Palace, they did find the peach pollen that would cause pregnant women to have miscarriages, and the clothes of the witty words and others also had traces of peach blossom juice dyeing, and the grandmother of the Shen Criminal Division tortured them if they wanted to use these dirty things on the Shun nobles or the Ming nobles, but they didn't admit this, they only said they didn't know."
"Your Majesty, Concubine Ru must be trying to calculate our pregnant concubines, and ask the emperor to deal with Concubine Ru and not let her have the opportunity to harm people again." Min Guiren said, now that her child is more than five months old, she was stunned when she heard that Concubine Ru was still preparing so many harmful things, this is her future security.
Not to mention the noble people, just heard that he had already been calculated by Concubine Ru, and now he didn't know if he could still have children, Du promised to cry aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, ask the emperor to call the shots, the concubine is not yet sixteen years old, and she may be killed by Concubine Ru and may have lost the idea of having children, what can I do...... In the case of the fifth elder brother back then, the concubine almost died innocently, but now the truth is finally revealed. ”
Fei Chang secretly congratulated herself in her heart that she had more eyes, but in front of so many people, she couldn't say that she had replaced the things that Concubine Ru gave her, so she also acted: "Yes, the concubine thought that she had heard it wrong, Concubine Ru Niangniang should be really ruthless, we concubines who just entered the palace did not offend her, she even wanted us not to have children, it was too vicious." ”
In the face of everyone's shock and indignation, Hua Ying is now surprisingly calm, the matter has come to this point, the emperor does not punish the concubine heavily, it is bound to cause dissatisfaction and disappointment, so he knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, now the truth has been revealed, such as the concubine Niangniang is not only harming the children of the concubines and the nobles, but also wants to cut off the emperor's heirs from the source, and her heart is ruthless, you can imagine." ”
The queen also turned her head, wanting to see how the emperor would deal with Concubine Ru, it was best to give death directly, a hundred, and let her rest assured, but don't be like the Yue noble, who was punished to the Huanyi Bureau, and Concubine Yun also went to investigate, if Concubine Ru is like this, it is left behind: "Concubine Yun is right, what Concubine Ru did is really rebellious, but she has also been with the emperor for so many years, how is the emperor going to deal with Concubine Ru now?" ”
The emperor supported his head with one hand, and seemed to be a little physically and mentally exhausted by this toss, but the disappointment in his heart for Concubine Ru still dominated, and said: "Passing the decree, Concubine Ru colluded with officials to the outside world, took bribes privately, was vicious to her heart, had a perverse temperament, murdered many princes and concubines, and was heinous. ”
"Your Majesty, such a poisonous woman deserves to die!" The noble man said angrily.
"I miss her in the past, but I just left her alive, and there will be someone to monitor the cold palace, and I promise that she will not take half a step out of the cold palace." The emperor is indeed thinking about the past, and letting her survive in the cold palace is already an extrajudicial grace: "As for all those who do not report it and help Concubine Ru to make trouble, they will be beaten to death with sticks, and those who are less serious will be sent to the Huanyi Bureau." ”
"Hey, the slave obeys the order, go to Changchun Palace now." Li Quan got the emperor's final will and knew that this concubine, who had been beautiful for many years, was also about to fall.
When I arrived at the Changchun Palace, the desolation here was in stark contrast to the previous luxury, because of the search of the palace, many things were piled up indiscriminately by the subordinates, and there were even fragments of vases on the ground, but I don't know if it was smashed by the concubine or accidentally knocked down by the subordinates.
"You're here, how does the emperor want me to die?" Rufei sat on the chair in the main hall at this time, still reclining like that, graceful and luxurious, she was wearing her favorite beautiful pomegranate red flag dress, if it weren't for the black circle under her eyes to show the state of the master, I thought that the current Rufei was the only concubine in the limelight back then.
"The emperor's will, such as the concubine colluding with officials abroad, accepting bribes privately, being vicious to her heart, perverse temperament, murdering many princes and concubines, and heinous, I have been extremely disappointed in it, and I have taken away my title and entered the cold palace, and no one is allowed to visit, so I admire this."
Li Quanyi shook off the dust and said: "If the concubine is cleaned up, go to the cold palace with the slaves, and the servants can go back to serve the emperor." ”
"Heh," Concubine Ru evoked a desolate smile: "Doesn't the emperor know that the temperament of this palace will not go to a place like the cold palace no matter what." ”
"If the concubine doesn't go, don't blame the slave for offending." said a word like a concubine, but still gave her face.
