She had been waiting for me at the door for a long time, and she couldn't see her face, thinking that she had let the makeup powder cover it, so she entered the hall with her after a few words of greeting. I ordered everyone else to go down, left a branch of rain, and looked at her with my head propped up.

She took a deep breath and began to cut to the chase: "The queen mother came to find the concubine, what happened." ”

I don't talk nonsense with her: "Luo Zhaoyi, this palace is here today to punish the crime and interrogate, are you ready?" ”

She hurriedly knelt down, looking frightened, but she didn't see panic, which showed that she was still prepared: "I don't know what the concubine is guilty of." ”

"Luo Zhaoyi, are you pretending to be stupid and joking with this palace? This palace has said before that the abuse of lynching in your palace is one of them, and the second is to transfer the files of the internal affairs office without permission, and the third is that you did not come to the palace to find out the facts first, but instead investigated and wronged Concubine De, resulting in the death of Concubine De. Luo Zhaoyi, count the crimes and punish them, guess what the result will be. ”

She raised her head: "The concubine is not convinced!" If you say that the first two concubines are wrong, and the concubines admit it, it is also to find out the truth! As for the last point, the evidence is conclusive, where did she wrong?! ”

"This palace won't answer you first, this palace asks you, the guard who accepted Concubine De's objects after you caught it, he personally said that this thing was given to him by Lian Qing?"

"Yes."

"I said earlier that the object had been replaced by a letter, so why did it suddenly become a hairpin and a profane trousers? Have you ever asked? ”

"This ...... The concubine never asked. ”

"Okay, that's the first suspicion. This palace asked you again, and your brother said that he found that a man surnamed Zhuang went to the temple to offer incense on the fifteenth day of the new year. Your brother can even check this, and he also knows that the man surnamed Zhuang is in the west of the city, why don't you go and see what the man looks like? ”

She was stunned for a moment, then rolled her eyes and replied, "The concubine and brother are stupid and didn't go to investigate, but if you want to come to Your Majesty to get someone, you can know ......"

I didn't wait for her to finish slamming the table: "Luo Zhaoyi, are you really stupid or fake stupid?" ! Is it because Hongu and you are bothering so much to ask you these details? Since you have checked, why don't you know that the so-called man surnamed Zhuang is not a person at all! You have been so wronged by the fact that with me and Your Majesty, what crime should you be guilty of hurting Concubine De?! ”

Actually, I don't know if it's a person, but I don't think it's true, the man before the registration should be King Ning's cronies in order to hide people's eyes. And now, it must be the shield of the mother and son, and it will definitely not be a person, just borrowing this name. Even if I haven't heard the truth from Concubine De, this matter can be investigated.

I just want to know now whether this matter was misunderstood by Luo Zhaoyi, or if she found out something and presented it to everyone, or if someone told her, or if someone deliberately let her know. It's too hard to tell the difference between only one and the first, and I don't want the worst. I'd rather Luo Zhaoyi found out something, and even guessed and made up the current situation.

She didn't expect me to ask this, so she shook her head hurriedly, unable to say a word, just repeating that her brother was stupid and didn't find out.

I thought about it, if it doesn't work, it has to be soft. He said to her softly: "Luo Zhaoyi, you married Your Majesty earlier than me, and you also know Your Majesty's feelings for Miaohua." Right now, Your Majesty is in pain, you said that you, as the person who exposed her, if it is later found out that Miaohua was wronged, what do you think Your Majesty will do to you? ”

I walked up to her and patted her on the shoulder: "What the hell is going on with this matter, you tell this palace truthfully, and this palace can help you." Miaohua chased the concubine, can't you see His Majesty's attitude? ”

She watched me tremble. That's right, if Sun Miaohua was really wronged, Luo Zhaoyi might have to go down to accompany her. Luo Zhaoyi must also know this result, I just want to remind her to know that she will kill herself because of her own mistakes, so now if there is an accomplice and someone instigates it, don't take the blame for others, and quickly say it.

But she just muttered, "How is that possible?" How could she have been wronged...... I could see her handing things out...... Every time she goes to the City God Temple, she has to hide people, this is clearly a ghost, why is it wronged? "I listened and it didn't feel like there was complicity or instigation. I asked tentatively: "So you bought Lian Qing to steal the items, and gambling on Concubine De is really fornication?" ”

When she heard this, she crawled up to me on her knees and shouted, "No! Queen Mother! Concubines don't! The concubine really found out that Lian Qing and the guard had sent something! The concubine lied, and the concubine didn't see it by chance, but someone told the concubine that Concubine De's palace maids and guards were not clean! The concubine thought that she wanted to catch Sun Miaohua's handle and check all the way! ”

She shouted desperately, "The concubines intercepted them according to the day they met, and they exchanged these two things at that time!" The lynching used by the concubine in order to directly pinch Sun Miaohua's lifeline, but I didn't expect to pull out this series of things, it is indeed conclusive evidence! How could she have been wronged?! ”

"Someone told me? Who?! ”

"I don't know, the note stuffed in the food of the concubine one day......"

"Where's the note?!"

She closed her eyes and cried, "It's long gone...... Yes...... The queen mother, help, you must tell Your Majesty that the concubine really did not wronged her, the concubine went all the way to investigate, that's all, the concubine was anxious, she didn't check what the man looked like, she only knew that there would be another person when she went to the City God Temple. But how could it not be fornication by such a coincidence!! ”

I stopped talking, and said to Zhiyu, "Spread the palace message, Luo Zhaoyi abused the death penalty and harbored evil intentions, so he was grounded for a month first, and his majesty will rule!" ”

After saying that, I was about to leave, and I still wanted to check the Jiyue Palace, but she grabbed the corner of my robe, "Queen Mother, you must tell Your Majesty that I am not framed, Queen Mother, the concubine really found out such a thing and exposed it!" Queen Mother, you are the kindest, you must save me, the concubine really didn't deliberately frame! ”

I bowed my head and told her that I would definitely give her a good talk, and walked away, I was anxious to know the situation on the Polar Moon Palace. Luo Zhaoyi's words confirmed my thoughts even more: Someone is behind this matter, Luo Zhaoyi said that he didn't lie, he asked Lian Qing, and others could find out.

Since yesterday's accident, Lian Si, the palace maid in charge of the Polar Moon Palace, was detained by me, and now she is in the Punishment Division. I was tortured again, I didn't say anything, and now I'm in custody, waiting for me to be arraigned.

The Lian Qing that Luo Zhaoyi said at the beginning is still locked up in the Polar Moon Palace, so I thought about asking the people mentioned in the first testimony first, so I went to the Polar Moon Hall now. Zhishuang Zhilu didn't come back to report the news, that is, no one had thought about it, and the mouths of the people in the Polar Moon Hall were quite hard by then.

I arrived at the Polar Moon Hall again, Zhishuang looked at me and shook his head, no one really said. I directly ordered people to start the torture, one by one, in the middle of the courtyard, and everyone watched. I asked which one Lian Qing was, and a thin little girl knelt out tremblingly, and I directly asked the grandmother of the Shen Criminal Division to start with her.

She kowtowed desperately and begged for mercy, I sneered in my heart, what is there to be worthy of sympathy from this palace for the buyer's glory, and she will be punished directly.

I was flogged first, and when it was over, I asked, "Tell me, did you give the concubine's things to the guard?" She replied with a grin, yes.

Can't bear it? I continued to ask, "Who caused you?" She stopped talking. I raised my hand to continue, and after smoking for a long time, blood sprayed all over the ground, and she cried and shouted that it was Sun Miaohua's instruction, that is, Concubine De's fornication, and she absolutely did not wronged Concubine De.

"Concubine De personally asked you to hand over the things to that guard?"

“…… Be...... The queen mother Mingjian, it is really Concubine De's fornication, and the slave maid definitely did not harm Concubine De! ”

She was crying on the torture rack and couldn't breathe, the people around her were trembling with fear, and a few little palace maids were sobbing quietly. Bengong only thinks it's funny, so far, no matter what, it's better to tell honestly, who bought her so that she can suffer less guilt.

I motioned to the tortured grandmother to change to a torture instrument, in exchange for a bamboo clip that clamped my fingers, and began a new round of screaming.

The screams and sobs of the people below were mixed together, and I sat calmly on it, and many people, including His Majesty, might think that I was a cold, cruel woman at this time. But this palace thinks that men have the ambition to level the world, why can't women?

Your Majesty made a decision to kill and fight for power in the previous dynasty, I am the queen, and I can't find out the truth about the harem, so I cried and wiped my tears in order to get rid of the law, and I was so scared that I was tied, so what kind of queen should this palace be? How is it different from ordinary boudoir women? As a woman, Wen can't be in Chao'anbang, and Wu can't fight immediately, but I can still do it if I am innocent in the harem.

is being tried, the sketches in my palace came to report, according to the investigation, Lian Qing has a sister outside the palace, who is a dancer in the music workshop, but recently asked someone to redeem it. I immediately raised my eyes and looked at Lian Qing, who was not human, I was afraid that I was threatened. I asked the sketch, where are the people now? Xiao Pinzi hesitated for a moment, saying that he was redeemed and given to an adult family as a concubine.

I was stunned, even if a big family is a concubine, it is rare to accept people from Qinglou Chuguan Le Fang as concubines, and before I could ask a question, I immediately said that it was a distant nephew of Li Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites.

There is no one in the harem who has anything to do with Li Shangshu, Lian Qing's sister was ransomed, is it a coincidence at this juncture? I don't believe in coincidences. I got up and went down the steps, told Mama to stop, and asked Lianqing.

"Your sister is living a very nourishing life now, you shouldn't want to disturb her life in the palace, she is a concubine of a wealthy family outside the palace, she doesn't have to worry about food and clothing, and the suffering you suffered in the palace must be for her. If you really want her good, tell the truth about who instructed you, and this palace will protect her from being harmed. But if you don't repent, then she is the one who is being tortured here. ”

Her eyes widened, she shook her head like crazy, and begged me bitterly, "The queen has nothing to do with her, and she has nothing to do with her, please don't ask the queen mother to trouble her!" The slave said everything, begging the queen to spare her! ”

"This palace is not an indiscriminate person who kills innocents, as long as you say it, I won't hurt her."

She bit her lip, broke down and screamed for a while, sobbing and sobbing. It was the palace maid of the Polar Moon Palace, that is, the Lian Si who entered my palace with Concubine De yesterday, and it was Lian Si who took out the hairpin and underwear for Lian Qing to give to a guard.

Lian Qing felt that this was wrong, like a big crime of killing his head. Lian Si said that this was ordered by Concubine De, and after the matter was completed, her hard-working sister would be redeemed from that bitter place, eat and drink spicy food, and she was also promised a lot of money.

She was tempted and did so, and when everything was over, Lian Si suddenly said that she couldn't tell others that Lian Si asked her to do it. Otherwise, her sister would be sold to the lowest kilns, and she would have to be dragged out and beheaded, and she was terrified. Lian Si comforted her and said that they would be fine, they would have nobles to help, if something happened to Concubine De, the two of them could go away and fly high, and she had done everything she could, and she and Lian Si were grasshoppers on a rope.

Later, her sister wrote her a letter, telling her to rest assured, she was doing well, she was very happy, and she was waiting for the day when she would become a first-class palace maid. I didn't expect a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and Concubine De fornicated. She realized that the thing she gave away might have caused a big disaster, and she was busy waiting for Lian Si to come to her with the so-called nobles, but she didn't think about it, but she was detained in the Polar Moon Hall and couldn't go out.

She begged me to protect her sister, I first asked people to press her down, and told Xiao Pinzi to take good care of Lian Qing's sister, if anyone touched her, immediately touch a line up, and at the same time check what is the connection between Li Shangshu and the gang in the harem. Tell the rest of the people in the Polar Moon Palace: This is the fate of the traitor's pursuit of glory. Tell Zhilu to leave these people behind and wait for His Majesty to send them down.
