Chapter Seventy-Eight: Crimes
Yun Jin was just about to speak, but when he saw the thing in the queen's hand, he immediately paused.
The queen was in front of her, with disdain on her face.
"Is this as the queen said, you used the queen to do it?" Emperor Ming Yuan was a little impatient when he saw that she didn't speak, if it weren't for her, Zhao Qirui would have been established as a prince.
Yun Jin looked up at Zhao Qirui and made up his mind, 'For you, I am willing to die!' ’!
"If you go back to the emperor, if you investigate Yunjin's responsibility, I'm afraid it will start from the Shangyuan Festival that year!" Yun Jin said after kowtowing lightly.
"Yunjin! This palace has treated you well all these years, you don't have to be black-hearted and talk nonsense! The queen thought that she had suppressed Yunjin, and she didn't want her to dare to mention the events of the year. My heart was in turmoil, and I opened my mouth to threaten.
When Emperor Ming Yuan heard this, he couldn't hide his anger, "I'm here, how can I ask you to say more!" If you dare to deceive... Death! These words are not only said to the queen, but also a warning to Yunjin.
"Yun Jin doesn't dare! The prince has been wronged for so many years, all because of me. Back then, the Shangyuan Festival was not because King Rui was drunk and disorderly, but that someone drugged King Rui's wine, and Yun Jin accidentally learned that he went to inform King Rui, so he would be misunderstood! ”
"Who is so bold as to drugged? Why didn't you say it back then! Emperor Ming Yuan asked.
Zhao Qizhen also learned about it later, and now Yun Jin can't help but worry about him when he mentions it.
"It's not that Yun Jin didn't say it back then, it's just that Yun Jin's whole family was threatened, and Yun Jin didn't dare to say it!"
"Who drugged King Rui, and what is the intention?" The incident was already strange back then, but everyone had no choice but to insist on King Rui's absurd behavior after drinking.
"That year, King Rui made a military exploit and returned to the dynasty, and some people were afraid of him and designed to frame him!" Yun Jin's words all pointed to the queen, the courtiers in the hall, you look at me, I look at you, don't dare to say more.
The queen is in front, gritting her teeth with hatred, she really dares to say it!
"Who is it?" Emperor Ming Yuan had already made up his mind in his heart, so he asked more, but he just wanted her to say it and everyone listen.
"Back to the emperor, it was the queen who drugged King Rui's wine, and asked people to send a message to Concubine Liu that after the banquet, you still set up a banquet in King Rui's bedroom at that time, and let her go over together."
Emperor Ming Yuan's eyes were like arrows, staring straight at the queen.
The queen was frightened by Emperor Ming Yuan's eyes, "Your Majesty, the concubine has never done anything like that!" It was she who wanted to cling to King Rui and frame his concubines! ”
"Do you have proof?" Emperor Ming Yuan turned his head to look at Yun Jin, and his tone was cold.
"Back then, everything that drugged King Rui was handled by Mama Liu, and now Mama Liu is dead..." Yun Jin paused.
"You slut! It's a shame that Bengong treats you so well, and now you are framing Bengong! Mama Liu died tragically because of your innocence, you don't know what to do like this! Your Majesty, you have to make decisions for your concubines! Seeing that Yunjin had no evidence, the queen suddenly became angry.
Yun Jin is right, what happened back then was indeed done by Mama Liu, and now there is no proof of death, see what you use to argue with this palace.
Zhao Qirui saw all this in his eyes, and sure enough, he didn't cry when he saw the coffin. He glanced back at the palace maid waiting outside the main hall and nodded.
Yun Jin understood, "Mama Liu is dead, but there is no proof of death, but there is still one person who knows about it!" ”
"Who?" Emperor Ming Yuan asked.
"The queen's current personal maidservant, Biyun! It was precisely because of Biyun Yunjin that the queen was drugged in Ruiwang wine! ”
The queen was stunned! Some are not sure, "You really did everything to frame this palace, Biyun was just a sweeping maid back then, and this palace saw that she was clever and only recently let her serve by her side!" ”
"What the queen said was what it was like back then. Your Majesty, you will know Biyun as soon as you ask! ”
Emperor Ming Yuan nodded and signaled to Chuan Biyun.
Everyone in the main hall waited to see what was going on.
Biyun was already trembling with fear outside the hall.
"The slave has seen the emperor, long live the emperor!" After Biyun came in, he knelt on the ground and said goodbye, his voice sounding a little trembling.
"Do you know that the queen framed King Rui?"
Biyun's body trembled, looked at the queen, and then looked at Yun Jin and Zhao Qirui standing beside her.
"Speak quickly!" Emperor Ming Yuan roared angrily.
"Slave maid... The slave maid was scrubbing in the palace at the time, and the queen didn't know that the slave maid was included, so she asked Mama Liu to drug King Rui, who was still the prince, and asked Qingyun to deliver a message to the maid next to Concubine Liu. The slave maid felt scared at the time, and hid inside and didn't dare to come out, who knew that after a while, the queen actually asked Mama Liu to find a way to get rid of Qingyun who had finished spreading the news! Qingyun entered the palace with the slave maid for a year, and the slave maid didn't want her to die tragically, and when the queen went to the banquet, the slave and maid quietly went to her to tell Qingyun about it, not wanting her to rush into Miss Yunjin in a panic. After that, the slave maid didn't know, and Qingyun died in the lotus pond of the Imperial Garden the next day! Biyun's eyes were slightly red, and he thought that Qingyun could escape the catastrophe, but he didn't want to die.
"Queen? At this point, do you still have to quibble? Emperor Ming Yuan got up and came to the queen's side and looked down at her.
"Your Majesty! The concubine has never done anything like that, and the concubine will not admit it when she dies! ”
"Queen Mother, all the evil things you have done over the years are remembered by Yunjin for you! Qingyun waited by my side for a few days, and that night she asked me to intercede with you, and she said that she promised to keep her mouth shut, and she told me about it when I asked about it. Yun Jin was afraid that you would make mistakes again and again, so he went to King Rui's palace at that time and poured him with antidotes. Later, I was afraid that the antidote would be ineffective, so I guarded the Rui King for half a night, and you learned that the strategy was destroyed, and the coercion and temptation made me say that I lost myself to the Rui King... Emperor! Yunjin is guilty! After speaking, Yun Jin kowtowed heavily.
"You slut! Make up this big lie to frame this palace! And you, eat inside and out! What benefits did King Rui give you to frame this palace like this! The queen was extremely angry, pointing at Yunjin and Biyun and scolding.
Du Qinxin watched from the side and didn't say a word.
Emperor Ming Yuan raised his foot and kicked the queen aside, "Presumptuous!" Look at the demeanor of the mother of a nation! What's the difference with that market shrew? ”
"Father's anger! The emperor is angry..." Seeing that Emperor Ming Yuan was furious, everyone hurriedly persuaded him.
The queen sat on the ground, raising her eyes as if looking at Emperor Ming Yuan, but in fact, she looked at Zhao Qizhen over Emperor Ming Yuan.
"Huh! The emperor immediately determined that the concubine was guilty! The concubine confessed! Why bother humiliating the concubines in front of hundreds of officials in the court! ”
"If you feel wronged, there are a few things that this king wants to tell you, how Concubine Liu entered the cold palace and died tragically in the end, do you remember? Who is this king famous for all these years? Princess Rui was pushed off the lotus pond on the prince's wedding night, you won't be unaware, right? And then there is the slander of Princess Rui! Which one did you not do? Zhao Qirui coldly told everyone present of the queen's sins!
"You poisonous woman!" Emperor Ming Yuan pointed at the queen's hand and trembled. "Someone! Queen Jiang is jealous, vicious, disregardful of human life, and has lost women's morality, and today she deposed her queen title, pending the investigation of criminal responsibility, and handed over to the criminal department for questioning! ”
"Father, the emperor thinks twice..."
Zhao Qizhen was the first to kneel on the ground to plead, and then several ministers also knelt down and begged the emperor to take back his fate.
"You have to intercede for her, the Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people!" Emperor Ming Yuan was blocked with a word.
"Your Majesty, the minister proposes that this matter be handed over to someone else! The criminal department is under the jurisdiction of King Rui, and King Rui is better off avoiding suspicion! Shen Changan stepped forward and said.
"Then who does Shen Qing think will be the best to try it?" When Emperor Ming Yuan said this, his tone was a little difficult to guess. Shen Changan is now the prince's father-in-law, and his identity is slightly embarrassing. But the emperor couldn't help but answer.
"The minister thinks it is most appropriate to hand it over to Du Minglang, the son of Lord Du, to investigate!"
