Chapter 75: Suicide Note (3)

King De has forged even Jiang's suicide note, it seems that he is determined to end this matter as Jiang's suicide, but it is just a morning time, what happened?

The Queen Mother was busy all morning, and although she was unwilling to accept such an ending, she could only choose to shut up temporarily.

On the other side, Xia Rui saw that the Queen Mother was silent for a long time, so he turned his eyes to look at King De again and said:

"Yu Ze, what the hell is going on? Okay, why did it get to the way it is? ”

King De's face flickered slightly, he lowered his eyebrows slightly, sighed, and said:

"This matter, the fault lies in the younger brother, the younger brother did not take good care of the Jiang family, the pregnant woman is easy to get angry, and her emotions will be more irritable, it is the younger brother who did not take this into account, the Jiang family...... It was also because of some angry words from his younger brother that he didn't think about it for a while, so he did something stupid...... The younger brother himself did not expect that things would suddenly turn out like this...... Brother......"

With that, he even choked up as if he was pretending.

Xia Rui looked at him in disbelief, as if he was believing, and after a while, he frowned again:

"Since the Jiang family committed suicide, what ...... What are these rumors in the palace about 'Jiang's mother and son were harmed by the filth in the middle palace'? Also, the subordinates in your mansion came to me and conclusively testified that they were instructed by Concubine Song to poison the Jiang family, what happened? ”

This lie was originally made up by Xia Rui, but now it was thrown to King De to clarify, King De heard this, and immediately scolded Xia Rui a hundred times in his heart, of course, on the surface, he still had to pretend to be innocent, he replied:

"Your Majesty, my brother thinks that these rumors are all deliberately taking the opportunity to provoke our brotherhood, and the sinister intentions of their intentions are simply exposed, which is really hateful, such rumors are simply condemning!"

When Xia Rui heard this, he was very cooperative:

"Well, Yu Ze, you're right, I think so too! Then you ......"

Here, King De glanced at Concubine Song, and then continued:

"As for ...... These subordinates testified that everything was instigated by the Song concubine behind his back, and the ministers felt that there was still a lack of sufficient evidence, and ......"

At this moment, Princess De, who had been sitting on the side without making a sound, suddenly giggled a few times.

The laughter seemed to be deliberately imitating the Queen Mother's sense of intimidation, giving people a "creepy" feeling.

Xia Rui's attention was immediately attracted by Princess De.

He frowned slightly and looked at Princess De and asked, "Princess, what's wrong?" ”

Princess De took the handkerchief and nodded her red lips, and said with a smile:

"If you go back to the emperor, the concubine didn't choke just now, this Dali Temple, the concubine has never been here before, once she came, she stayed for so long, she really didn't fit in, so her throat was uncomfortable, and I asked the emperor for forgiveness!"

When Xia Rui heard this, he looked at the furnishings around him, he himself was no stranger to this place, competing with these "demons and monsters" in the harem of the previous dynasty, he didn't come to the prison of Dali Temple, but this Princess De, who looks delicate, can't stand it for a while, and it is not difficult to understand, it is the weird laughter just now, it is uncomfortable to hear.

So, he withdrew his gaze, looked at King De again, and said:

"Yuze, where did you just go?"

King De replied: "Back to the emperor, my brother has just arrived at the Song concubine!" ”

At this moment, King De's resignation is already another painting style,

"After all, the younger brother is a foreign minister, and he doesn't know much about the people in the harem, and today is also the first time to see the Song concubine, whether this Song concubine is jealous of the queen's favor, and took the opportunity to spread rumors, the younger brother doesn't know, so it's not easy to judge, everything, but the emperor is in charge!"

"Hmm!" Xia Rui nodded, then turned his eyes to look at Concubine Song, his eyes swept back and forth on her.

However, he did not want to give Concubine Song a chance to defend her innocence, but said directly:

"Now, this case has become clear, Concubine Song, although the mother and son of the Jiang family were not killed by you, but you deliberately instructed your subordinates in the harem to criticize the queen, spread rumors, and even bribed the subordinates of the Dewang Mansion in an attempt to turn the rumors into facts, the testimony of the witnesses is very clear, you have committed a capital crime, can you be guilty?"

Concubine Song is also unlucky enough, she has not said a word since she came in, and she has to confess.

The air condensed for a moment.

King De didn't have a word, the Queen Mother didn't say anything, Princess De looked at Concubine Song and smiled brighter than a flower.

Concubine Song knew that she had become an outcast in the hands of the Gao family and a victim of the power struggle between the Gao family and Xia Rui, she took a deep breath, knelt down and replied calmly: "The concubine is guilty!" ”

When Xia Rui heard this, he couldn't help but glance at Concubine Song more.

It doesn't matter if he doesn't look at it, when he looks at it, he actually realizes that Song Concubine is different from other women.

Knowing that she has made a scapegoat, Xia Rui is still the first time to see a woman who can still not cry or make trouble, and step forward to receive punishment.

Such a woman is much more interesting than the stupid and paranoid woman of the noble concubine.

Xia Rui suddenly didn't want to give her a cup of poisoned wine directly, because, he knew that he had eradicated all the chess pieces that Gao had buried in the harem, and the Queen Mother would immediately make up other reasons to send other chess pieces to his side.

So, instead of eradicating them, it is better to ...... Accept them for my use.

He stood up, looked at Concubine Song condescendingly, and said:

"Since you know the crime, then, from now on, you will no longer be a Song concubine, pass on my will, the Song family has committed crimes, slandering the Middle Palace, spreading rumors, and provoking royal friendship, which is a capital crime, and I remember it as a first offense, and I am specially exempted from the capital crime, demoted to the last class to change clothes, grounded for three months, to think about my own mistakes!"

When Song Changyi heard this, he kowtowed to Xia Rui: "Thank you for the emperor's grace not to kill!" ”
