Chapter 9: The Clues Are Broken (2)
I went to the Shen Criminal Division, and it is already very clear that there is a person who leads Luo Zhaoyi to find out that Sun Miaohua is fornicating, and at the same time instructs Lian Si to encourage Lian Qing to send things, everything is out of control like the outbreak of Hongchuan, and there is also the ability to let the people outside the palace check and balance Lian Qing, everything is hit with one blow, and Concubine De is all gone with her children. Now that everything is tied to Liansi, I have a bad premonition.
When I arrived at the Criminal Division, I was going to interrogate her, and the people below hurried down to get people, and I couldn't do it in a hurry. I wonder who could do this whole thing, and I can't figure out who it is. Seeing that I didn't bring anyone for a long time, I couldn't wait in a hurry, so I lifted my skirt and went to the prison.
Halfway through, I saw a large group of people running over in a panic and kneeling on the ground when I saw it. Nor do they speak.
My heart began to pound again, my pace slowed down unconsciously, I closed my eyes, and asked them, "What about people?" The leader raised his head tremblingly, and then began to kowtow again, and I shouted, "What about people?!" ”
"Queen Mother! Old slave, old slave is guilty! Lian Si ...... Haven't thought about her...... She's dead! "I slammed it down.
Really! I was so angry that I walked back and forth in place for two times, and Zhiyu came up to help me, and I angrily asked how I died.
It turns out that it is so easy for a person to want to die. Lian Si was thrown into a cell after being tortured that day, and while the jailer was changing shifts, he tore off two strips of cloth from his clothes. One was stuffed in his mouth, and the other was strangled on his neck. With his back to the cell door, he died silently.
Damn, I'm so angry. The only clue is broken! Damn it! I kicked the jailer guarding Lian Si. Out of the Shen Criminal Division, he took a hateful breath. Who is this person, so that people can't find out about her. It seems that at the moment, I can only find it from Li Shangshu's line, and I have to report it to the emperor, and I will not interfere in the affairs of the previous dynasty.
After reacting, I only felt tired, I had to hurry back to the palace to lie down for a while, I thought so, but the sky is not as people wish. As soon as I was halfway through, Gonggong Lu, who was next to the emperor, asked me to come to me and say that the emperor wanted me to go to the Qinzheng Palace to accompany him for lunch.
Oh my mother, tortured to death, and I have to deal with him with my heart! I thought about it, let's go, it's better to die than to live, and I always have to report to him. I dragged my tired body to the Diligent Palace.
It was another silent meal, and I glanced up at him. His expression was faint, and he didn't seem to have anything going on, but I knew he was in a bad mood.
If I don't have any expression, in front of me, my chin will be raised, my eyes will be slanted down to look at me, if I make a noise when I eat, I will stare at me a few times, and eat faster than a dog, so I want to get away from me quickly.
But now he bowed his head slightly, did not look at me, and ate the meal that the imperial dining room had carefully prepared for him. My gut tells me he's in a bad mood.
I hurriedly took two bites of rice, afraid that he would ask me about it later, and I wouldn't have a chance to eat. But he ate very slowly this time, and when I finished eating, he still had a little left, and I sat there and waited for him honestly.
He then put down the dishes and chopsticks and asked me, "How is it?" ”
I smiled weakly, feeling that I had to be scolded again, but I couldn't help but answer, and told him all the human and physical evidence that I had integrated today, but I didn't say what I guessed. Because, as soon as he heard it, he could know that there was someone behind him, and I said it as if I was asking for credit and showing that I was smart.
No emperor wants to be treated as a fool, so I'll just say it, and he will naturally figure it out.
He lowered his head and thought for a while, then looked up and said to me: "Li Shangshu does not have anything to do with the people in the harem on the surface, this is not easy to check again, first, it will startle the snake, and second, it is impossible for me to question Li Shangshu for this harem matter." ”
"The concubine understands."
"Zhang Yunian, pass on my message. Zhaoyi Luo, demoted to Jieyu, fined for half a year, grounded in Chiquan Palace, and could not come out without his will. All the palace people in the Polar Moon Hall who were close to the concubine were killed, and the rest were all sold. ”
As soon as I heard this, this punishment was too heavy, and I hurriedly knelt down: "Your Majesty, if it is such a big punishment, I am afraid that the whole palace will know about it." Miaohua must be uneasy in the spirit of the sky, His Majesty will serve the concubine in them, and the staff involved in the crime will be killed, and the rest will be demoted to the palace. ”
As expected, he looked at me for a long time, and saw that my hair stood upside down, and then said, "Do what the queen wants." I'm tired, kneel down. ”
I had to rest and lie down for a long time. In the evening, the little son in front of the emperor sent me a sealed confession, and I opened it and glanced at it to know what it was. I asked Xiao Quanzi if His Majesty had seen it. Xiao Quanzi said that when he was interrogating, the emperor was on the side, personally watching the confessions written by the people below.
For a moment, my heart felt as if it had been stirred by a hand.
This is the confession of Sun Miaohua's aunt and younger brother. What mood did Your Majesty have after listening to this?
I read this confession. Most of the things are indeed the same as what Concubine De told me, but they are not as detailed as Sun Miaohua told me. Sun Miaohua didn't lie to me.
I was silent and glanced at the time, Your Majesty will not sleep at this hour, so I went to the Qinzheng Palace. I feel that he is quite pitiful, go and comfort him.
Father-in-law Zhang shouted a few times, but there was no response. I just pushed the door in, and he was there in a daze. He held a fold in his hand, but his eyes were fixed on the candle flame in front of him. I said softly: "Your Majesty, don't keep staring at the firelight, be careful of hurting your eyes." ”
He reacted, didn't look at me, rubbed his eyebrows, and asked me how my testimony was. I sighed and answered truthfully, no problem.
When he heard me, his hands froze in place, and he could hear a needle drop in the temple.
I broke the silence: "Your Majesty...... Miaohua has you in her heart. ”
Unexpectedly, he suddenly became angry, swept away the book on the table, and asked me: "If she really has me in her heart, why didn't she tell me in the first place?!" I'll figure it out with her! She is committed to the third child again and again, where is she in me?! ”
I knelt down with a thud, my knees hurt, but I still had to say, "Your Majesty is angry, please think about it, she doesn't dare to say it because she cares about you." I'm afraid that if you know that she approached you with a purpose in the first place, you will be disgusted with her! Miaohua has lived a hard time since she was a child, how can she look at the overall situation and see the order.
Say a thousand things and ten thousand, Miaohua is wrong, you really shouldn't be angry with yourself for other people's mistakes. You are working hard, and it is the country that is suffering. The concubine is not qualified to speak for Miaohua, or just act as if nothing happened, but you have the world in your heart, this is a harem matter after all, don't make a big fuss and hurt the dragon body. The concubine took the liberty of speculating on Miaohua's thoughts, and she also wished you well, right? ”
His Majesty was angry and affirmed. If there is love in the heart, there will be anger, and if there is no emotion at all, then the rest is just disgust. I can feel that His Majesty has Sun Miaohua in his heart.
I continued: "The origin of all this is caused by the chaotic minister and thief King Ning, this thief has been ambushed, and the concubine hopes that Your Majesty will not be angry. "After that, I bowed down.
Yes, the source of all this is the hateful King Ning. I want to tell Your Majesty that although I can't say that Sun Miaohua is completely innocent, the person Your Majesty should hate the most is that King Ning.
He didn't say anything, he sat down on the stool, looked at the mess with tired eyes, frowned, and called me down in a very soft voice.
I walked out of the hall, asked Gonggong Zhang to go in and clean up for His Majesty, and sat back to the palace.
I lay on the collapse at night and couldn't sleep for a long time.
I pity Sun Miaohua in my heart, and I sigh at the difficulty of women in the world. Women should be at the mercy of others like duckweed, and they can't choose their lives happily.
I am a high-ranking daughter, and if I can empathize with her sadness, it is my hypocrisy. I think I'm already very happy, I haven't suffered anything since I was a child, and my father and mother have been in pain, but it's not because my family must have a queen's will to send me into this deep palace.
Although I am now the mother of a country and admired by all people, I am not happy every day. Miaohua looked beautiful before, but it was still used as a tool to seize the heir, and there were countless bitternesses and pains. I can't help but sigh that it's so difficult to be a woman.
I always hear people say that the last dynasty fell because the last king was obsessed with a woman, ignored the government and the people, and the people were not able to make a living, so that the founding emperor of our dynasty bravely revolted and created a prosperous era. Now that woman is a disaster, but I don't understand it since I was a child, it is the faint monarch who is panicking in the government, and the man can't do it, why should the woman bear the infamy?
The more I thought about it, the more depressed I became, and when I thought that it was good to be jealous and intrigue with these women, I just felt so boring in order to desperately please a man. I can't sleep, tomorrow is not a festival, and I don't have to listen to someone to ask for a chatter, so I simply got up and put on a fox fur and went to the yard for a walk.
