Chapter 4: Fornication (2)

His Majesty almost rushed in, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Concubine De kneeling on the ground with tears on her face.

After everyone saluted, I hurriedly gave up my seat and turned my head to find a stool, but he didn't mean to sit up, and walked straight to Concubine De.

"Hua'er!" His Majesty rushed up and helped her up, and then he looked at me like an enemy. I???

An ominous premonition arose in my heart, and from my experience, with this man's superior wisdom, he must have thought that I had embarrassed her.

Sure enough, in the next second, "The queen reprimanded Concubine De indiscriminately, isn't it too much?!" ”

I'm lost, I'm angry!

Fortunately, I have a big heart, otherwise I would have vomited three liters of blood on the spot.

I was just about to open my mouth to defend myself, but someone below spoke for me, "Your Majesty is angry, the queen mother did not say a word to Sister Concubine De during the whole process, it was Sister Zhaoyi who found the evidence, and Concubine De made a statement to the queen mother."

Unexpectedly, it was Song Jieyu's faint opening again. His Majesty's face softened when he heard this, but he didn't say anything else, turned his head to look at Luo Zhaoyi, and said angrily: "What are you doing!" I will not spare you! ”

Luo Zhaoyi knelt down with a thud, raised his head and said, "Your Majesty!" The concubine ...... "I decided to make it clear at once: "Luo Zhaoyi, come to this palace." ”

I looked at Your Majesty," Luo Zhaoyi found that a guard was buying and selling palace finances with people outside the palace, and there was actually a ...... His Majesty gave Concubine De's hairpin and Concubine De's close-fitting profane pants, and the concubine thought that someone with unclean hands and feet must have stolen Concubine De's things, and wronged Concubine De, but Zhaoyi still had something to say. ”

After speaking, I looked at Luo Zhaoyi, and Luo Zhaoyi said with a straight face: "Yes, Your Majesty, the concubine still has the evidence of her offense!" ”

This guy hesitated to glance at Concubine De, Concubine De threw herself at his feet, and Douda's tears fell straight down, "Your Majesty!" The concubine doesn't want to listen to others abuse the concubine, the concubine is very wronged! Your Majesty, the concubines don't want to listen! ”

She stepped forward to hold His Majesty's hand and cried softly, "Your Majesty, the concubine is the first to follow you, you should know that the concubine's heart for you can be seen by the sun and the moon." ”

"I beg you, I believe in the concubine, I love the concubine so much, why should the concubine give up her glory and wealth to fornicate with others? What's more, how could a concubine be stupid enough to use the hairpin you rewarded to fornicate? Once discovered, don't you immediately suspect the concubine's body? ”

"And dirty pants! Filthy things, how can concubines be upright and coquettish, and use this kind of thing to fornicate with people outside the palace through the hands of outsiders?! ”

Tears were like pearls with broken threads, and she knelt there pitifully, and her proud appearance alone was enough to convince many that she was innocent.

I feel sorry for the sadness.

He really hesitated, "That's all for today, I believe in Concubine De." ”

This means that it is going to be settled, but how can this matter end hastily, there must be a result today.

This matter has been troubled so far, and it is impossible to end it.

In this situation, either her charges will be cleared immediately, or her incriminating evidence will be confirmed.

When such a thing happens, how can everyone return to the state of being safe and sound yesterday.

I spoke: "If Your Majesty believes in Concubine De, then the palace will punish Luo Zhaoyi for slander." "I'm not forcing Luo Zhaoyi, I have to remind him that today's matter has to be settled, and someone must be punished.

Luo Zhaoyi was anxious when she heard this, and raised her head and shouted, "It's okay!" Your Majesty, the concubine suspects that there is something wrong with the dragon heir! ”

Hearing this sentence, I can hold my forehead, Your Majesty's face turned green, Concubine De rushed over to catch Luo Zhaoyi, but was pulled away by Zhiyu.

Concubine Li smiled lightly and interjected: "Luo Zhaoyi, what you said, you have to think about it, if you have conclusive evidence, fortunately, if not, this crime of wronging Concubine De is not something you can afford." ”

Sun Miaohua covered her ears and shouted, "Shut up!" ”

Wang Meiren, who was sullen on the side, spoke: "Your Majesty, the concubine believes that Sister De is innocent, but only by knowing the cause and effect can Sister De refute and wash away her grievances!" ”

Oh, that's a nice thing to say.

His Majesty's face froze, and he looked at Concubine De with a gentle look and said, "Hua'er, I believe in you, after listening to what she said, you will naturally be able to defend yourself and wash away your grievances, and you will wait for me to administer justice for you." ”

Concubine De was stunned after hearing this, was set up and carried back to the stool, and looked at Luo Zhaoyi with a frightened expression.

Luo Zhaoyi straightened his face and spoke, "The concubine interrogated day and night, this guard and the merchant outside the palace confessed, they have been in contact since we were in the East Palace, the merchant said that since Concubine De married His Majesty, someone contacted him to send out the palace objects, and he sent these things to a man surnamed Zhuang in the west of the city, and he received a percentage from it. ”

"It's just this success, but it also allows him to spend every day and drink! Since His Majesty ascended the throne, he has sent fewer items, and he has begun to pay him money, more than the previous commission, and let him help deliver the letters! ”

Since hearing the name of the man surnamed Zhuang, Concubine De has been trembling, and later, she has been shaking.

All of the people present noticed the change, and I looked at Concubine Li's ecstatic look, and she looked at Sun Miaohua, who was like a vegetable, as if she was winning.

I turned my head and glanced at Your Majesty again, I couldn't see any emotion, and motioned for Luo Zhaoyi to continue.

"If the letters alone don't mean anything, but since there were fewer money exchanges and more letters, the man surnamed Zhuang has gradually become richer, and he has given more and more money. The concubine didn't hear it right, so she said that there was an account that couldn't be matched, and asked the Internal Affairs Office for the expenditure account book of the year, but it turned out that the account of Concubine De's residence at that time really didn't match! ”

After that, he asked someone to submit the account book upwards, "Your Majesty authorized Concubine De to go in and out of the treasury to take things at will, but you didn't expect it, in the early years, after Concubine De entered the treasury, she put the fake into it, and took the real thing away and sent it out of the palace, so many years, the treasury didn't know how many things had been moved away a long time ago!" ”

"According to what the man said, the concubine asked Sun Miaohua to send out a gold bottle glass jade bell, and His Majesty ordered someone to go to the treasury to take a look!"

The emperor immediately ordered the people who received it to look for it, but when he came back, he reported that he had not found it, saying that he had found the record and had not sent it out.

The result is clear, after all, it has never been stolen from the royal treasury for so many years.

The indoor temperature dropped a lot in an instant. His Majesty asked her gently, "Hua'er, where did this thing go?" ”

Concubine De knelt down again, crying that she really didn't know. Concubine Li pointed at her and scolded, but Her Majesty did not say a word.

I opened my mouth and asked Luo Zhaoyi, "I gave some things to the guards, but Concubine De herself?" ”

"It's Concubine De's palace maid, Lian Qing."

"That may be a palace maid and it is unclear outside the palace, how to prove that it is Concubine De, and what does it have to do with the dragon fetus."

Luo Zhaoyi smiled, I suddenly felt in my heart that she might be about to show her killer skills, and her hands and feet moved, ready to be beaten by Her Majesty at any time, and I planned to stop it.

"The queen asked well, I don't know if the sisters here can remember, when she was in the East Palace, where did Concubine De like to go the most?"

Concubine Li was the first to speak, "City God Temple! ”

Luo Zhaoyi nodded.

"On the fifteenth day of the first month of each month, when Concubine De will go to the City God Temple to pray for blessings, I have already gone to my brother, ordered someone to verify, there was an incense merchant who said to do good deeds, every fifteenth day of the first month to the temple to make incense, this person is surnamed Zhuang, until four months ago the new emperor ascended the throne and said that there was something to go out to stop, at that time you happened to be diagnosed pregnant! Concubine De! What do you explain? ”

The hall was silent, except for the whining of Concubine De's desperate shaking of her head and the sound of His Majesty banging on the stool one after another.

Luo Zhaoyi continued to chase after the victory: "If it's once or twice, it doesn't matter, for such a long time, the thunder can't be moved, and on the fifteenth day of every lunar month, the two of you appear in the City God Temple at the same time." ”

"Don't tell me, it's a coincidence, and don't tell me that it's a coincidence that this person disappeared after you were pregnant with a dragon fetus."

His Majesty looked at Concubine De, who kept kowtowing, with a cloudy face, got up and pinched her tear-stained face, and asked, "Hua'er, I believe you, you say, are you disloyal to me?" ”

Concubine De shook her head like a rattle, crying that she didn't, at this time, Wang Meiren, who just said that she firmly believed that Concubine De's sister would not do such a thing, spoke: "Yes or no, just arrest the man surnamed Zhuang and interrogate him." ”

His Majesty may have been confused, so he reacted and ordered the guards to fetch people, but Concubine De shouted: "No! No! Your Majesty! You spare the concubine, the concubine's belly is really the dragon heir! You spared the concubine, that man is the younger brother of the concubine, the concubine...... Concubines...... Yes......... It hurts .........."

His Majesty kicked Concubine De, who had twisted into a ball, and pointed at her nose and scolded, "Your father said you were an only daughter!" Where did you come from, brother, you slut! ”

A circle of people knelt in the room and begged him to calm his anger, Concubine De fell, moaning in pain on the ground, with blood under her body, and her mouth vaguely pronounced the pain, and His Majesty's name, "Ji Lang, ah!" I know I'm wrong, Kiro! After listening to Concubine De call him Ji Lang, that is the affectionate name between them.

He was stunned for a moment, but his reaction was even more angry. kicked her in the stomach and ordered, "Put this slut in prison!" ”

I immediately got up and persuaded, "Your Majesty, let's ask the imperial doctor to come over for treatment first, the matter is not completely finalized, cure her first, and it is not too late to punish her after the investigation." He gave me a cold look and walked away.

I sighed, and asked people to call for a doctor, and sent the fainted Concubine De to the side hall, so that these people could go back to their respective places.

Song Jieyu took the lead and left without looking back. Luo Zhaoyi was proud of the spring breeze and left with a smile on her face. The others left in twos and threes, Wang Meiren sat for a long time before leaving, and Concubine Li praised me a few words of mercy in a weird way, and left.

Everyone didn't take a few sips of tea, and everything seemed to be the same as after every greeting. However, the remaining bloodstains on the ground tell the story of what has just happened unusually.

Honestly, when I'm just recovering now, what just happened.

Obviously, the Queen Mother asked me to take care of Sun Miaohua's fetus.

What suddenly turned to the point where it is now?

I sighed when I saw the mess all over the place, ordered someone to clean up, and ordered the imperial dining room to cook some food for His Majesty today. He turned his head back to the dormitory and pondered for a long time.
