Chapter 685: The Emperor is Suspicious
The torture nobleman's forehead began to sweat, and the whole person fell softly on the palace maid who was Ning Changzai and her personal clothes, and she couldn't use her strength.
The emperor frowned, but he didn't care much about the nobles who didn't know the general situation, and he focused more on Yuan Qing, a person who could enter and leave the harem at any time, and wanted to assassinate the queen mother, but he didn't know who it was.
Hiding in the harem, it's too dangerous!
Imperial Physician Wu went over to help take a look, and the appearance of the criminal nobleman was indeed too frightened, and he needed to prescribe two patches of medicine to recuperate for two days.
When the palace maid was helping the noble man down, Shu Qing, who was beside Concubine Jin, suddenly stood up, "Wait a minute." ”
Everyone was inexplicable, Shu Qing knelt down in front of the emperor, "When the slave maid interrogated the people in the Shoukang Palace just now, she also recorded all the people who appeared in the Shoukang Palace before, and the slave maid remembered that the palace people around the noble man seemed to have a 'rhyme' in their names. ”
Shu Qing is a girl brought by Concubine Jin from Xiliang, she has always been loyal and does things properly, so when she made notes for all the palace maids and eunuchs in Shoukang Palace before, she naturally asked people who often appeared in the Queen Mother's Palace before.
Because there are only a few concubines in the harem, and compared to the noble man, he obviously loves to run to the queen mother, because the grandfather of the noble man is the master of the punishment, and now although the master of the punishment is a scholar, he has personally taught the former prince, and he is also half a teacher to the emperor, so the noble man is very much loved by the queen mother, and he is naturally more diligent in running.
Shu Qing flipped out a booklet that had just been recorded, which wrote who entered and exited the Empress Dowager's palace, what time it was, and how long they stayed, the more detailed it became, and even the number of people who entered and exited the Empress Dowager's palace and those palace maids were clearly recorded.
Among them, there is the criminal nobleman, as well as the personal palace maid beside her-Zhiyun.
The round face of the torture nobleman turned pale in an instant, and he exclaimed, "What does this have to do with us? I don't know this guard named Yuan Qing at all! ”
This kind of self-confessing appearance, everyone can see that there is something unusual.
Rong Ruo smiled playfully, "It doesn't matter, just ask if you know." ”
The noble torturer bit his lip, looking like he would fall down at any time, and said with a burst of tears: "You, you are really too much, you make a fierce beast in front of the emperor to scare people, and now you have to make up a false plan to frame people, even if you can't find the murderer, but you can't bully people like this." ”
Such a cry, as if they really did something to her.
Lin Yuanxiu affirmed: "I don't know this character, but this play is very good, I used to sing opera, right?" ”
Chu Wangzhi's eyelids trembled, what is the status of the torture master, saying that the granddaughter is singing......
Chu Feng flicked the hair in front of him, what kind of eyes did his mother, what kind of singing, obviously she was crying for people, look at this tear will come.
The three members of the Chu family knelt for a long time, and they were still in the mood to watch the play next to them at this time, and Rong Ruo was also convinced.
Rong Ruohe said: "It's just that others are not frightened, this lady is so timid, is she a thief?" The criminal nobleman was just about to refute, but Rong Ruo said leisurely: "Either you are more noble than the emperor?" ”
The torture nobleman glared angrily, but he was crying miserably, and there was no deterrent, "Don't be delusional." ”
"Isn't it, everyone is here, just ask and you will know, but the mother is talking about him left and right, not deliberately delaying the effort?"
As soon as the nobleman's eyelids rolled, she almost fainted backwards, she was not stupid, but this woman's mouth was even more slippery than her, the key was to be shameless.
At this time, Yuan Qing, who had not spoken, suddenly said: "That's right, it was the criminal nobleman who instructed me, and that purse was the palace maid Zhiyun beside her, and I stole it from her when she came to me that night." ”
Rong Ruo turned his head and glanced at Mu Beichen, frowning: He explained too quickly, and he looked like he would rather die than give in just now.
Mu Beichen's eyes were gloomy, and a thought turned in his heart, either he knew that he couldn't escape and simply admitted it, or he was protecting another person to cover it up.
"You, what nonsense are you talking about!" The torture nobleman couldn't catch it in one breath, he stroked his heart, his face turned blue-white, his eyes were a little cold in his panic, and there was a trace of hidden cruelty.
Yuan Qing grinned, as if he didn't care about it, and he recognized it as if he was discovered, "Punishment nobleman, you will admit it, it is a matter of time before you are arrested anyway, how hidden do you really think you are doing......" He raised his eyebrows and smiled miserably: "Your Majesty, everything is done by a humble person, but the humble official only accepted a thousand taels of silver from the criminal noble, obeyed her orders, and ambushed people in Qingxi Palace to kill." ”
In other words, the poisoning of the Queen Mother has nothing to do with him, but the private actions of the nobles.
The soles of the nobleman's feet staggered, and Ning Changzai, who was originally holding on, suddenly withdrew his hand, but let her slam to the ground, "Your Majesty, it's not such an emperor, he's the one who wronged his concubine......"
"There are also 1,000 taels of silver from the nobles here, as well as a letter to re-introduce the lowly to the palace after the matter is completed!" When Yuan Qing said this, he completely blocked the back road of the criminal nobles.
The criminal nobleman felt that the heavens and the earth were spinning, his eyes were dark, his body was soft and he had no strength, and Zhiyun next to him was even more frightened, hesitant, and could only beg for mercy with tears.
It's over, it's completely over.
In the hearts of the nobles, there is only this idea.
The emperor glanced at the letter found on Yuan Qing's body, slapped the dragon chair with his palm, stood up and said angrily: "Come on, search the Yuhua Palace!" ”
A group of forbidden troops received the order and quickly left Shoukang Palace.
At this moment, in Shoukang Palace, it was even more silent, and no one dared to speak easily.
Wu Daoqing was checking the pulse of the criminal nobleman just now, and he was still standing next to her, looking at the woman with six gods and no master on the ground, and couldn't help but shake his head.
Why are some people who want to do something rebellious about their good life?
Rong Ruo took a step back, pinched Mu Beichen's palm, and signaled with his eyes: Is it really the noble man who poisoned the Queen Mother, and bought Yuan Qing to prepare to kill?
Mu Beichen glanced at the hooked tail finger, and held her palm with his backhand, his fingers were slightly cold, but the palm was warm, and a kind of warmth was transmitted from the palm of his hand to the bottom of his heart.
"It should be her." Mu Beichen bent down slightly and said in Rong Ruo's ear.
Rong Ruo couldn't understand, was he dissatisfied with serving an old man at a young age, shouldn't he poison the emperor, why should he poison the queen mother?
There was still something that he couldn't figure out, Rong Ruo lowered his voice and said in a voice that only two people could hear: "Don't you think it's strange, this Yuan Qing." ”
Mu Beichen glanced at the kneeling person with cold eyes, and bowed his head: "Admit it too quickly." ”
It's not, obviously he looked loyal and unyielding at the beginning, but after Shu Qing pointed out the nobleman, he directly admitted the crime, without struggling too much.
"It's not important." Mu Beichen said again.
Rong Ruo rolled his eyes: "What's important." ”
Mu Beichen raised his other hand and lazily tapped her forehead, as if he was mocking her for not having enough brains, "Father only needs murderers." ”
Rong Ruo is clear, there is a murderer hidden in the harem, the emperor must have trouble sleeping, as for the process, just check it slowly afterwards.
The two of them held hands and raised their eyebrows, so that Concubine Yi couldn't see the hundred, but it was difficult to say because of the situation.
Mu Yuanche was dumbfounded, is this still the imperial brother he knows?
The cold-faced god who disdains women and loves them ruthlessly.
What happened to Jing Nan and his party, was the imperial brother dropped?
Return his royal brother!
The emperor's eyes were on the three members of the Chu family, Chu Feng was messy, just the upper echelon of temperament, a little decadent but not down, the noble son's cultivation was there, even if he was dirty, he was still out of class.
Lin Yuanxiu next to her knelt straight, her eyebrows were open, full of heroism, and there was a free and easy atmosphere that could not be hidden in her bones, even if she knelt in front of the emperor, it would not make people think that she was a little shorter.
Among the three, Chu Wangzhi is the most unsharp, elegant and elegant, with a Confucian demeanor, but in his restrained eyes, there is an invisible sharp light, he sees through the world and is proficient.
The emperor stood with his hands in his hands, with the light on his back, and his face was covered with a layer of dark light, which made his face even more gloomy, and his whole body exuded an unapproachable cold air, twisting his eyebrows and being cold, and the wind was loud.
The bright yellow dragon robe moved, and the corner of the hem of the robe was overturned, like a five-clawed golden dragon soaring up, and finally stopped in front of Chu Wangzhi.
Chu Wangzhi pressed his head very low, but his back was still straight, even if it was thousands of pounds and stones, he didn't bend his waist.
"Chu Aiqing." The emperor exited, stretched out a hand, and grabbed Chu Wangzhi's arm, "Get up without courtesy." ”
Chu Wangzhi was pulled up, looked at the emperor's dark and cold eyes, lowered his head and said, "Thank you emperor." ”
Lin Yuanxiu and Chu Feng's mother and son stood up with the emperor's exemption, kneeling for a long time, it was inevitable that their legs would be numb, and Lin Yuanxiu's drooping face evoked a cold smile, somewhat sarcastic.
I suspected their family without saying a word, but now I find out that it was a misunderstanding, and I didn't say a word.
Yes, how could she expect the royal people to apologize to the courtiers.
The imperial family, especially the emperor, can never be wrong, only someone else will be wrong.
It is a criminal nobleman with bad intentions, Yuan Qing who has an unforgivable crime, and all the criminal ministers and thieves who dare to think about the lives of the royal people!
"Chu Feng is involved, I asked you to come over and listen to it together, so as not to frame people with evil intentions." The emperor will not apologize, but he still has to give an explanation.
It's just that this explanation is too far-fetched to the Chu family.
Obviously, the person who was suspected just now was the emperor, but now there is no one else, anyway, the emperor will say the right and the back, and they can't refute it.
Therefore, Chu Wangzhi just bowed his hand: "The saint is wise." ”
It's just that when he came here today, he felt a little more gloomy in his heart.
Originally, I thought that although the current emperor acted a little ruthlessly, and he was often afraid of the Yan family, who held the military power, he was narrow-minded, but as an emperor, it was normal to allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the couch.
But today, after it was his turn, Chu Wangzhi realized that this emperor may not be as wise as he imagined, but he tried his best to eliminate dissidents, and he was too suspicious.
