Chapter 209: The Realization of Pain
The queen believes that her daughter will never do such a shameful thing, someone must be trying to discredit their mother and daughter, and she is too familiar with the methods of the harem.
So, she immediately ordered someone to tie up this little novice, the abbot master is an extrajudicial monk, and the queen believes that with his cultivation, he will not go out and talk nonsense.
Immediately afterwards, the queen interrogated the tenth princess in front of everyone, and the tenth princess shouted injustice, she didn't know any Zhang Gongzi at all, how could she give a gift?
But this silk handkerchief is really the tenth princess's, so this matter is a little strange.
At a critical time, the ninth princess stood up and said that she had accompanied the tenth princess to Puji Temple several times to discuss the matter of soup soup with the masters, and had also come to visit those widows and lonely, so it must be possible to accidentally miss it.
Someone will suggest that if it is a gift, I am afraid that there is more than this thing, if it is missing, it should be that the other party picked it up and was not willing to throw it away, and it may not be clear that the owner of this silk handkerchief is the tenth princess.
When the Queen Mother heard this, she ordered her people to go to the meditation room to see if that Zhang Gongzi had returned, and by the way, to see if there were any other suspicious things in his room.
The two eunuchs who received the order soon came back, saying that the prince Zhang had left the city early in the morning because he knew that there was a distinguished guest today and needed to avoid it, but they found several calligraphy and paintings of the tenth princess and two purses in the meditation room of the prince.
At this time, the ten princesses couldn't tell eight of their mouths, and fainted in pain.
Cui Yuanhua was also frightened at that time, and his mind was blank.
Because she is the personal palace maid and companion of the tenth princess, she can't get out of this matter, so there is no doubt that the queen mother immediately pulled her out for interrogation, at that time Cui Yuanhua told the truth, saying that the ninth princess had taken a lot of calligraphy and paintings from her, and also borrowed silk handkerchiefs and purses, and every time she accompanied the tenth princess to the temple, she was followed by the aunt and palace maid in charge, how could she have a private meeting with a foreign man?
The ninth princess didn't admit it, saying that she had admired the calligraphy, painting and embroidery of the tenth princess, but she had never taken it, and if she didn't believe it, she could go to her palace to find it.
Subsequently, the ninth princess gambled and swore again, saying that she had always treated the tenth princess as a good sister, and every time the tenth princess wanted to do good deeds, she was also a silver and a plan, but the reputation was the tenth princess's, she never cared, but she didn't expect to be detained in the end for such a crime, please ask the queen mother to investigate thoroughly and return her innocence.
Seeing this, Cui Yuanhua also swore with the curse that those things were definitely borrowed by the Ninth Princess, and, with her super memory, she described one by one what the Nine Princesses took away from her in total, what the silk handkerchiefs and purses were embroidered, and even repeated what she said when she took them away.
At that time, Cui Yuanhua only saw the silk handkerchief and purse, and the Queen Mother did not let her look at those calligraphy and paintings, so when she saw that Cui Yuanhua's description matched those calligraphy and paintings, she believed her words a little.
At a critical moment, Wu Guifei, the mother of the ninth princess, jumped out and said that it was a false accusation, since Cui Yuanhua remembered it so truly, then these things must have been sent out by the tenth princess through her hands.
So, the key point of this matter fell on that Zhang Gongzi, the Queen Mother led a group of people to wait back to the palace, and ordered her henchmen and eunuchs to take a few guards out of the city to find that Zhang Gongzi, and immediately interrogated after finding it.
Unfortunately, that Zhang Gongzi encountered a bandit on the way back to the city, and when the thief wanted to rob him of his purse, he and the thief tore up, and finally was stabbed a few times by the bandit, and when the nearby villagers rushed over, the Zhang Gongzi had already died of blood, and he was dragging a purse in his hand, which was full of blood, but the contents of the purse were gone.
That purse was finally confirmed to belong to the Ten Princesses.
Fortunately, the emperor still trusted the ten princesses, and ordered the people of the Imperial City Division to investigate the matter thoroughly, and finally found those thieves, and learned that someone had paid them to hire them, and at the same time, someone on the Puji Temple had also encountered a woman with a tightly covered woman with a maid-like person who came to Zhang Gongzi.
Following these two lines, the final thorough investigation results all pointed to the biological mother of the ninth princess, it turned out that Wu Guifei inadvertently found out that the emperor intended to send the ninth princess to Tatar and relatives, she didn't want her daughter to marry far away and suffer, so she had to hit the tenth princess with the idea.
There is no way, only the two of them are of the same age in the palace, and the most important thing is that if the queen can be pulled down, Wu Guifei's son is likely to sit in that position, so she is desperate.
I thought that the emperor would send the tenth princess to kiss in order to suppress this scandal, but he missed the same thing, the emperor's trust and favor for the ten princesses.
And after this incident, Cui Yuanhua could no longer stay with the tenth princess, but fortunately, the tenth princess stood up to testify against the ninth princess at a critical time when she was grateful to her, did not beat her to death, and sent her to the court bureau.
It wasn't until 20 years ago, when the first emperor died, the new emperor ascended the throne, and there was a group of new people in the palace, that she left the court bureau, and with her own ability, she was admitted to the female official, and was lucky to be selected as the inner chamberlain.
Cui Yuanhua, who just wanted to do his duty and do his part, was once again coerced into the battle between the former queen and the imperial concubine.
Although these are not from her original intention, there is one thing that cannot be erased, in order to save herself, she has more or less done something against her will, and since the accident of the queen, especially Zhu Heng's disability later, she once again has a new definition of the word human heart.
Therefore, suddenly seeing such a pure smile and words of gratitude on Zeng Rong's face, Cui Yuanhua's first reaction was dazzling, and then he was excluded.
The last thing you need in the harem is purity and kindness, maybe when you will become a pawn in the hands of others, the chess pieces are still good, I am afraid that I will accidentally become a sharp blade in the hands of others, and it is also a sharp blade that stabs at her master.
Cui Yuanhua, who wanted to mention Zeng Rong a few words, still held back in the end, first, he was worried that Zeng Rong was too young and didn't know the severity, and if she said the wrong thing outside, it would be troublesome for her, and second, real growth is a process, which needs to go through a lot of tempering, and it needs to be so painful that he can't forget it for a lifetime in order to truly transform.
Zeng Rong saw that the other party suddenly became silent as he spoke, and became more and more solemn, she wanted to ask but was afraid of disturbing the other party, and at the same time, she was afraid that the other party would be disgusted by the shallow words, so she also became silent, and carefully went through Fang Cai's words, and did not find anything wrong with her.
Cui Yuanhua quickly realized his gaffe, and was busy gathering his mind, and introduced to Zeng Rong the daily affairs and personnel structure of the Pharmacopoeia Bureau and the most important point, the confidentiality regulations, that is, the emperor's medical case must not be disclosed to anyone, and at a critical time, this person includes the emperor himself and the queen mother, but does not include several chamberlains and eunuchs of the inner chamberlain.
