207
Jin Yiwei wanted to check things, but the speed was still very fast, their wrists were iron-blooded, or cruel, and because it was the royal princess who died.
But in just a few hours, starting from the little waiter who handed the note and hanged himself, he was originally dead without symptoms, but someone saw that someone had contact with him before the little waiter died.
And the person who came into contact with him was a small chamberlain who lived in the same room as him, and on the surface, this little chamberlain had nothing to do with Zhaoyang Palace.
can dig deeper, confirming that he is related to Zhaoyang Palace.
That note, the paper with a dark incense, was only available in the palace and a few favored royal relatives, including Zhaoyang Palace.
Also, the unique ink of the imperial prison, because of the ambergris, is generally only used by the emperor, but it does not prevent the emperor from using it to reward people, including Zhaoyang Palace, not even in the palace.
One by one, one by one, Concubine Hui couldn't say half a sentence.
I can't even argue strongly.
What else could she say? Say these are fake?
So much evidence is there, is it all forged by others?
What a picture?
Concubine Yu stood beside the emperor and looked at Concubine Hui with some surprise,
"You did it? So you framed me? Why? ”
She raised her voice and asked.
Concubine Hui's eyes flickered, and she moved away, only looking at the emperor, and explained,
"Your Majesty, concubine...... Concubine ......"
Concubine Hui felt that she had jumped into the Yellow River for a while, and she had Xu Meiren's confession, and she couldn't clear her mind about the death of Princess Fengping.
As for the incident of Concubine Yu, there is so much evidence, and it is even more difficult to wash away.
She was still unwilling in her heart.
What if you are just unwilling?
At this moment, Concubine Hui clearly realized that she was really defeated, and it was over.
This realization made her disheartened, despair, as if she had been drained of her spirit in an instant, and looked at her several years old.
It was obviously a warm early summer night, but she felt a chill to the bone, this side hall of Zhaoyang Palace was even colder than the coldest ice cellar.
She closed her eyes and sat on the edge of Xu Meiren's bed, she couldn't bear it for half her life, even if she was half dead in her heart, she would smile at other people.
Is it because she likes it?
It's just because I want to ask for something that I'm willing to endure a little more.
She must not be so aggrieved and desolate to the end of her life, even if she loses the gamble, it is better than dying.
What is contentment and happiness, take a step back to be safe, others may be willing, but she is unwilling.
Concubine Hui put her hands together and embedded them directly into the flesh, which brought her some pain and gave her a moment of calm and composure.
An all-or-nothing composure.
In Concubine Hui's view, at this time, a weak heart and panic is a dead end, and only by fighting hard can there be vitality.
What's more, Toyohei's death really has nothing to do with her.
As for Concubine Yu, she really missed.
She didn't expect that the palace maid who was kind back then would forget it, and no one else knew about that little chamberlain.
Could it be that Skynet is really magnificent and sparse?
Thinking of this, Concubine Hui felt a little shaken and frightened, but she quickly suppressed these emotions. Said lightly,
"Your Majesty, it is true that the concubine saved some people because she couldn't bear to do it back then, but if Your Majesty took the concubine's intolerability as a favor, then the concubine had nothing to say."
She does give grace everywhere, but she can't recognize the reputation of grace everywhere!
"From the palace to the inner palace, the concubines have always been kind to people, it is not easy to pity the palace people, and they are never harsh, is it wrong to say that the concubines are kind to people?"
"Should we be like some people, treat the palace people as ants? Is it right to ignore their lives and deaths? ”
"Is it that as long as you are ruthless, there will be no such thing as today?"
Speaking of this, Concubine Hui coughed violently excitedly, coughing heartbreakingly.
For Concubine Hui's words, the emperor was difficult to find fault, but his anger was even worse, and he said coldly,
"Okay, even if those subordinates have nothing to do with you, then what about the paper and ink that was passed on? And what about the injury? How do you justify it? ”
Speaking of this, the emperor couldn't help but raise his voice,
"You talk in front of me, you can't say that the ink and paper have nothing to do with you, right?"
This woman really didn't cry when she saw the coffin.
Concubine Hui smiled miserably and said bitterly, "Your Majesty has decided that everything is related to the concubine, even if the concubine defends herself?" The wounded concubine explained that it was a burn, because the scab of the wound was scratched in a daze when she slept the night before. ”
"Isn't there all the paper and ink in the womb, in the palace of the concubine's sister, in His Majesty's imperial study, and in the Qianqing Palace?"
"Who can guarantee that it will not be used by someone with a heart."
The Emperor sneered,
"You mean that I am stupid and have wronged you."
Concubine Hui hung her head,
"Don't dare."
The emperor sneered again, and looked at Concubine Hui gloomily, "Don't dare? What else do you care? You say, "There's nothing left unreported?" ”
He pointed to the commander of the Jinyi Guard.
"Back to Your Majesty, the minister brought two people over."
The Emperor suppressed his anger and said, "Bring it up." ”
"Yes."
Seeing the witnesses who were brought to the hall by the guards, Concubine Hui's heart tightened, and her brain 'buzzed'.
Isn't this cowering old woman the old woman Xu Ge gave to himself and revealed the true identity of Concubine Yu?
Jin Yiwei commanded the envoy,
"When the minister followed Xiao Shizi's instructions and traced the cause of death of the two palace people, he followed the clues and found this young mother-in-law."
Concubine Hui clutched her hands desperately, her nails had just been pinched into the flesh, maybe the pain was not as heavy as before, or she was numb.
She didn't notice the pain at all, only a slight tingling.
She didn't speak, just looked at the old woman named Qingpo coldly.
The old woman seemed to be very afraid, and when she saw the emperor, she immediately knelt down and kowtowed desperately.
"Your Majesty, the old slave doesn't know anything, the old slave is just a sweeping handyman, and he has never served a nobleman closely......"
She will be found that day, and she will say more than once.
Concubine Hui looked at the emperor mockingly, as well as Xiao Zheng, who was pale, confused, and even unsightly.
This scene is really ironic.
She inexplicably felt that even if she died, she was worth it.
What Qing Po knows is not complicated, but she hides a big secret, a secret that can be called the emperor's stain.
The commander of the Jinyi Guard stood there expressionlessly, as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, he knew a lot of secrets, including the royal one.
Besides, this secret, many people know it in their hearts.
Xu Meiren shrunk at the foot of the bed, she didn't want to hear the secret. She was afraid that she would not know how she would die.
She clutched the quilt tightly, wishing that this quilt was a magic weapon that could make her disappear, so that she could get out of the cage of this deep palace.
But as soon as she thought that as long as she passed today, she would 'die', and she would leave the palace.
She also felt that it was okay to hear some such big secrets before she died.
It's always going to 'die' anyway.
The green woman said everything incoherently, and the calm Jinyi Wei commanded,
"So, you told Aunt Biwan in Concubine Hui's palace everything?"
"Yes."
After the commander of the Jinyi guard finished asking, he waved his hand and asked people to take the green woman down.
Xiao Zheng listened expressionlessly as Qing Po finished telling the big secret, his hands curled up tightly.
Although he had already known the truth, at this moment, his heart still had an indescribable taste.
Xiao Zheng just looked at the emperor and Concubine Yu, the figure did not move, and he did not speak.
"Your Majesty, this is a private matter in the palace, and the minister is retiring."
He said suddenly, pursing the corners of his lips, then turned around, turned and strode away.
It's just that the footsteps stepped out, and he quickly turned around, took Xu Han's hand, and took her out.
Concubine Yu stood up, but there was a person, faster than Concubine Yu, who rushed over and grabbed Xiao Zheng's arm.
"Ah Zheng, listen to me! It's not embarrassing for me to have something to do with your mother. ”
"She has a good heart, she can be eternal, I love her deeply, I once swore that if I can marry her, I will be alone with her in this life, but I didn't expect it...... My eldest brother, the crown prince, proposed to the first emperor, and the first emperor made the decision and gave him a marriage ...... with your mother."
The emperor stopped, his expression gloomy, and his gaze fell on the body of Concubine Yu behind him.
Concubine Yu's face turned pale, one hand propped up on the chair, the other hand covered her chest, and she was shaking.
The emperor exhaled a long breath, looked at Xiao Zheng, who always looked tense and silent,
"Ah Zheng, I know that you must be difficult to accept this for a while, only blame the creation of people, these years, I hate and love you, hate you is not my blood, love you because you have the blood of my favorite person flowing in your body."
"However, after all, God has been kind to me, and my delusions have become a reality, but I don't regret ......"
Xiao Zheng suddenly turned his head and stared at the emperor who was holding his arm, and a faint layer of blood seemed to ooze from the bottom of his eyes.
The emperor looked at Xiao Zheng like this, and he didn't dare to speak again.
"My father Xiao You'an, is the late first-class Chengen Gong Xiao You'an of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom, long live the cautious words, and the minister retired."
Words and sentences burst out from between his lips and teeth, and after finishing speaking, he took Xu Han's hand and walked out of the side hall of Zhaoyang Palace. Two red figures disappeared into the night, never to look back.
The emperor chased two more steps, slowly stopped, looked ahead, breathed heavily, and trembled slightly.
Cui Hai hurriedly stepped forward and helped the emperor to sit down, not daring to make a sound.
Today, it is really an inauspicious day, it is a day of great joy, first Princess Fengping died blindly, and then several nobles were involved.
There was silence in the room, and Concubine Yu sat on the chair in a daze, this is a fact, even if she has admitted it face-to-face with Xiao Zheng, now it is just the veil that has been lifted on the bloody wounds.
Let the hideous wound be exposed.
Concubine Hui was originally paralyzed in Xu Meiren's bed, which would suddenly burst into tears, tears fell like a lake that couldn't close the gate, she staggered to the emperor, knelt in front of the emperor's knees, and her voice was choked,
"Your Majesty, the concubine admits that the concubine really wanted to design the concubine's sister because she was jealous of her sister, but the concubine really didn't kill Fengping."
"That note was also passed on by the concubine, and the person who passed it on was also sent by the concubine, but the concubine just wanted His Majesty to be disappointed in the concubine's sister."
The tears on the woman's face are like beads of broken threads constantly falling, mourning relatives, full of love and hatred.
Concubine Hui knew that at this juncture, she could only impress the emperor with love.
She followed the emperor when she was young, and along the way, who didn't know the emperor's affection for the concubine, at this time, as long as she was enough to be a person who hated because of love, what was the difference between her love and the emperor's love for the concubine?
Now that Xiao Zheng knows what happened, it is clear that he doesn't understand the emperor and the concubine, and he resents them.
That's just right for her to take advantage of.
She cried all over the place, "The concubine can't help it, how many years has the shadow of the concubine's sister been in the harem, as long as she has been favored, there will be no day for us." ”
She pointed to Xu Meiren, "You see, Xu Meiren was also a tender little girl when she entered the palace, but she has never been favored." Why. ”
"There are still so many concubines in the palace who have never been favored, don't they resent it?"
Xu Meiren rolled her eyes in no one's sight, she really didn't want the emperor's favor.
The emperor is such an old cucumber that everyone can use, why is she rare?
She is unknown in Zhaoyang Palace, never causes trouble, never makes trouble, has money and leisure, why should she rush to compete for favor?
If she hadn't been unlucky today, the emperor wouldn't have known who she was, okay?
She waved her hand at Concubine Hui in a panic, knelt on the bed again, and said incoherently,
"It's good for a concubine to be like this now......"
It can only be said that Concubine Hui thought too simply, and the commander of the Jinyi Guard, who originally seemed to be like a wooden stake, suddenly spoke,
"Your Majesty, the minister also has an important witness, about the handwriting of Niangniang, the minister found something."
I saw him wave his big hand, and the brocade guard below presented something,
"This is collected from Concubine Hui's residence, that is to say, Concubine Hui Niangniang found the calligraphy of the former prince here somewhere, as well as ......
He pointed to the next page,
"It is said that this is a copy of Concubine Hui's ......"
The emperor slowly raised his somewhat piercing eyes, and Concubine Hui's hot tears fell on his knees, looking helpless and docile, which made people couldn't help but be moved.
If you don't see any of these things......
"I really didn't expect it, you've been by my side for almost thirty years, and I didn't know that you were such a powerful person in the past?"
The emperor sneered,
"The first prince's note entered your study, and it became the note of Prince Fengxian back then and passed to the hands of the concubine, okay, good."
"I thought that the concubine was a talented girl, but I didn't expect that there was a big talented woman hidden by my side."
"Is there a day when even my handwriting can be imitated and read by me?"
The commander of the brocade guard, who was originally standing on the side like a wooden man, spoke again,
"Your Majesty, Concubine Hui Niangniang does know His Majesty's handwriting, please look at ......"
He turned two more pages, and what suddenly appeared at the bottom of him was the emperor's handwriting, and if he didn't distinguish it carefully, people who were not familiar with the emperor would definitely believe that it was really written by the emperor.
The emperor grabbed Concubine Hui's cold and delicate jaw, and her face was almost deformed with great strength.
"It seems that I am really blind, and I didn't even see a poisonous snake like you entrenched beside me."
His face rose with a look of rage,
"You have no desires, no desires, no fighting, no grabbing, I loved San'er back then, and you often persuaded me that you should pay more attention to the prince."
"Not only others believe these words, but even I believe them, I'm afraid even you believe yourself, right?"
"Over the years, I have never treated you lightly, so that people dare not underestimate you, but I didn't expect you to be so vicious."
Concubine Hui's expression changed, her delicate throat slid a little, and she smiled bitterly again and again,
"Your Majesty, the concubine did something without thinking, but where did the concubine dare to kill someone, Fengping's death, the concubine is really innocent."
The emperor smiled coldly, "Innocent, you don't want to defile this word, human nature is evil, and I never mind speculating on others with the greatest malice." ”
"Back then, even the eldest sister had speculated, for this reason, I did something wrong, for so many years, I can be said to be very relieved of you, otherwise, how can you be able to do such a rebellious thing in San'er, and still be light?"
"It's a pity that my intentions have been completely wasted."
The emperor's voice was as calm as before, but his face flashed with the anger of being fooled, but it was a pity that the woman on the ground only cared about mourning and didn't see it.
was clearly seen by Concubine Yu on the side.
Concubine Hui's beautiful face suddenly showed some hideousness, and she suddenly raised her head and shouted,
"Your Majesty, in the palace, the concubine may not be the most benevolent, but she has never thought of harming people, and the reason why the concubine wants to frame the concubine's sister is because the concubine was forced."
"It's Elder Xu Ge, it's Elder Xu Ge who gave me people, it's he who said that he can help Xiao Wu ascend to the throne......"
"That's why the concubine will attack the concubine's sister."
"It was he who asked me to forge Prince Fengxian's pen and ink to lure the concubine's sister over, framing her for not abiding by women's morals, all these things in the past, the concubines were forced to be helpless."
"The concubine is really forced to be helpless, the concubine no longer has a son, and it was taken by His Majesty to make a whetstone for the prince, and the concubine is unwilling."
"Isn't the concubine's child a prince? was also conceived and born by the concubine in October, and if there was no favor, the concubine would have recognized it. ”
"But it's clear that His Majesty loves him like that, why can't he fight?"
The emperor didn't expect Concubine Hui to implicate the courtiers at this time, and he said coldly,
"Forced to be helpless? Can you ask for a living name for Toyodaira? Forced to have no choice but to let me suffer the pain of losing my son? If you are forced to be helpless, you can frame the concubine? If you are forced to be helpless, you can do everything in vain? Can you be forced to wash away your sins and karma if you are helpless? ”
There are too many things today, too much, and the emperor has been holding back, which will seem to be angry and laughing,
"My child, why don't I hurt? Do you want to be like Xiao Er, put thousands of miles away? Because he is alone, I love the children around me very much. ”
"I admit that San'er has indeed become the whetstone of the crown prince, and today I can tell you frankly that I have never given up the idea of letting the prince ascend the throne."
"He's my only heir!"
His words were categorical, which made Concubine Hui and Concubine Guifei tremble involuntarily.
Concubine Hui looked at the emperor in a daze, and suddenly laughed,
"You still think that I killed Fengping, you are really blind, okay, since you said that I killed it, then I killed it, it was me and Xu Ge Lao who stole Qing, you go and arrest Xu Ge Lao."
"Do you dare to catch it?"
She looked at the Emperor mockingly.
"How the hell did you get to this position? You won't forget, will you? ”
"You keep Prince Fengxian's child, aren't you afraid that one day he will come to take your life? After all, for the sake of this position in the world, brothers can kill each other, and parents and children can also ask for their father's life. ”
"Your Majesty, aren't you afraid? Becoming a king or losing a king has been the same since ancient times, not to mention, there is still a Fengxian princess by your side. ”
Concubine Hui glanced at Concubine Yu meaningfully and laughed.
Concubine Yu has been silent since the Qing Po uncovered the scar, and she suddenly raised her head,
"You are a villain, it doesn't mean that everyone is the same as you, Your Majesty is in line with the time of heaven, ascending the throne as the emperor, diligent and loving the people, is for the Ming Jun, all the people in the world, since they have to live and work in peace and contentment, how can Zheng'er dare to be his own selfish and openly make enemies of the people?"
Concubine Hui stared at Concubine Yu deadly, but there was a hint of ridicule on the corner of her mouth, as if she didn't believe what Concubine Yu said.
The emperor raised his eyebrows and said coldly,
"You don't have to worry about that,"
The emperor sat on the nanmu chair, his eyes were calm and calm, without the slightest wave, and he looked at it condescendingly.
After a while, he signaled Cui Hai to drag Concubine Hui down.
Concubine Hui didn't struggle, she just seemed to cry and laugh,
"Your Majesty, the concubine has served you for so many years, she has been cautious, walking on thin ice, you have never understood the truth today, so you have wiped it all out, and the concubine is not convinced."
The emperor said expressionlessly, "Traitors are occasionally good, the world is called great good, and good people are occasionally evil, but this evil is unguardable, I have been blind for so many years before I can see your flesh and bones clearly, so it's not too late." ”
After Concubine Hui left, the emperor looked at Xu Meiren expressionlessly,
"Concubine Hui did something bad, but who killed Feng Ping, you recruited it from the truth."
Xu Meiren, "......"
So the emperor was not deceived by her lies?
Her gaze wandered for a moment, and she suddenly gritted her teeth, knelt down and said,
"Your Majesty, what the concubine saw and heard in Luhua Palace is indeed true, and even Princess Fengping took her concubine to Luhua Palace is true."
"It's just that person, the concubine didn't see it, and she didn't know who it was."
"It's just that the concubine picked this up at the bottom of the stairs."
Xu Meiren's hand that had been holding the brocade quilt suddenly stretched out and spread out, and there was a moment button on it.
As soon as this button came out, the emperor's eyes unexpectedly looked at the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and this button was unique to the Jinyi Guard's saber.
In other words, the person who stole the sun in the Reva Palace was Jinyiwei, so it is no wonder that he was able to twist Princess Fengping's head so neatly.
"Then why didn't you say that?" The emperor was furious.
If it weren't for Xu Meiren's ambiguity, how could so many things have happened today?
Not only is the concubine next to him wearing a skin, but even Xiao Zheng's identity has been released.
The emperor wanted to have a seizure, but when he saw Concubine Yu's wooden face, he sighed in his heart.
He didn't expect that there would be a fish that slipped through the net in this matter, and after hiding it for so many years, his brother-in-law died to protect this secret, and the eldest sister was even more estranged from himself because of this.
He didn't know if he was right or wrong.
He just wants a lover of his own.
He felt guilty in his heart, so over the years, he was diligent and diligent on the throne, he was diligent in government and loved the people, and if there was a wrong, he would be opposed, and he restrained officials.
In the matter of the Huo family, he knew that he was wrong, and he admitted it calmly.
In Xu Han's matter, because he is a rare talent, he did not pursue it and did everything possible to protect her.
He didn't dare to say that he was 100% right in those big and small cases, but he kept trying his best.
As for Xu Ge Lao, he knew that he couldn't bring him down for the time being, so letting him go back to cultivation while reusing Xu Xiuyan was also a balance.
All of this is because he did something wrong back then.
It's just that, since ancient times, for the sake of the throne, who is not unscrupulous?
There are so many records in the history books that the contradictions between Prince Fengxian and other brothers have long been irreconcilable, and only death can solve them.
He received the news and went to save his brother, but it was too late, and he couldn't be blamed.
The emperor's heart was extremely frustrated.
Fate goes round and round, so, cause and effect, where there is a cause, there is an effect.
"Your Majesty...... Her Royal Highness the eldest princess asks to see ......"
The emperor was standing in front of everyone, and when he heard this, he wiped his face, and in a place where no one could see, a few invisible water marks appeared in the corners of the emperor's eyes, and soon, he waved it in his palm and disappeared.
"Let her in."
