In the face of Qin Yunuan's complaints and accusations, Qin Zhen seemed very angry, he actually lost his manners for a while, and stood up directly and retorted: "You unfilial girl, who let you talk nonsense in front of the queen mother and the emperor." ”

"What Yu Nuan said is true, is it nonsense?" Qin Yunuan looked iron-clad and not afraid of power, "Father, you have ignored me and Baochuan for many years, let me and Baochuan live a subordinate-like life for more than ten years, connived at the Dou family to poison and kill my mother, after Yunuan was named the county lord, I was worried that Baochuan would gain power because of this, and deliberately hinted that the people of the Guozijian prevaricated the matter and did not let Baochuan participate in the autumn selection examination, this everything, does my father dare to say that he has not done it?" Yu Nuan can be proved by witnesses. ”

"Nonsense!" Qin Zhen began to point at Qin Yunuan's nose unscrupulously and scolded, "Don't I know about your witnesses yet?" Aren't they all the maid mothers around you, they are naturally speaking for you, today is the wedding of Yun Makeup, you still have to go against me like this, are you willing to be angry with me to death? ”

After Qin Zhen finished speaking, he bowed his hand to the emperor again and said: "The old minister has no way to teach his daughter, so that the emperor will laugh, and I hope the emperor will punish him." ”

Emperor Zhaoxuan was not without emotion at all, he was just observing, and when he heard Qin Zhen's words, he raised his eyebrows slightly, and suddenly said, "I want to hear whether what this Pingjun Lord said is true or false." ”

"Your Majesty, all this is this unfilial girl herself acting," Qin Qian's eyes suddenly began to feel sentimental, and a layer of mist was instantly enveloped, "Today is the day of the little girl's wedding, and the minister's heart is incomparably glorious to entrust the little girl to someone like the third prince, but I didn't expect that first, there was such a thing as the strange and tragic death of the dog, and the second was that the Qin family had an unfilial daughter, and the minister was already ashamed of the position of the captain as an exemplary official, and asked the emperor to be gracious, and also take back the title of the captain, and the minister was willing to take the blame and resign, Since then, he has never stepped into politics again. ”

Qin Yunuan said that he wanted to give up the title of Pingjun Lord, and Qin Zhen followed up and said that he wanted to take the blame and resign, which was obviously to work against Qin Yunuan, this was a gamble, and the purpose was to make the emperor in a dilemma.

It seems that Qin Qian's purpose replied.

The emperor began to persuade bitterly: "Why did Taiwei Qin say this, the inexplicable death of the prince and the people sent to the people in the strict investigation, and also invited the most experienced servants of Daqi, and he will definitely give Taiwei Qin a justice." ”

Talking about Qin Linfeng's death, Qin Qian's body trembled involuntarily, even though Qin Linfeng's performance in these days made him too disappointed, and even had a trace of despair and disgust for this eldest son, but father and son were connected, and someone reported that Qin Linfeng's body was found in the lotus pond, and at that moment, all his expectations and sustenance were suddenly extinguished, and the only son-in-law of the Qin family was gone.

At this moment, he was brought in by his father-in-law at the door, who was about fifty years old, with a gray beard, perhaps because he had seen too many dead people, and his eyes only showed a sense of indifference and indifference.

"Your Majesty, Weichen has completely examined the corpse of the eldest young master Qin, and found that the corpse's face was completely destroyed, which should have been caused by hitting the rocks under the lotus pond, although the eldest young master Qin's mouth and nose have a large amount of pool water flowing out, but Weichen found that the death of the eldest young master Qin was still a blow on the back of the neck, and this blow directly broke the cervical vertebrae of the eldest young master Qin, which is the most deadly;

。 ”

When he had finished speaking, he stood aside and said nothing.

Emperor Zhaoxuan cleared his throat, his eyes wandered back and forth between Qin Zhen and Qin Yunuan's bodies, and suddenly ordered: "Bring the eunuchs and palace maids who were on duty in the lotus pond before." ”

After a while, several middle-aged palace maids and a few young eunuchs were brought up, each of them was submissive, and they all looked very faced, at least Qin Yunuan had never seen a few people on the way to the lotus pond.

Her eyes narrowed slightly, but Qin Yunuan was not panicked, she knew that someone wanted to harm her, but if she could let the other party succeed so easily, she would not come to today's wedding banquet casually.

"A few of you," seeing that Emperor Zhaoxuan seemed to be a little tired, Empress Chen took the initiative to take charge of the situation, "Explain the scenes you saw when you were on duty, and if there is a lie, I will send you all to the Yeting Palace one by one to do a lifetime of hard labor." ”

A middle-aged palace maid in the lead trembled, and hurriedly knelt down and said: "The slave maid is a rough palace maid on duty in the lotus pond, and on weekdays, she prunes the bushes and cleans the corridor or something, but today when the slave maid is cleaning the corridor, she occasionally hears some noises, and the slave and maid have a low status and dare not approach, but the more you listen, the more serious the situation becomes, and what do you hear about the 'vicious woman' and 'death' Kill him', the slave and maid were afraid, and it was not until later that she heard the sound of falling water and the sound of footsteps leaving, and the slave and maid looked up, who knows, what they saw turned out to be ...... It turned out to be ....... ”

"Don't be afraid, keep talking." Empress Chen's voice seemed to have another meaning of encouragement.

"The slave and the maid dare not say, the slave and the maid are afraid that the person will kill the slave and the maid, and the slave and the maid do not dare." The palace maid began to kowtow to Empress Chen.

"With me here, who dares to touch you." Emperor Zhaoxuan also seemed to notice something unusual.

"Yes...... It is the third young grandmother of King Ning's mansion. The palace maid glanced at Qin Yunuan slightly, and when she saw Qin Yunuan's eyes that were as cold as ice, she immediately took it back, "The slave maid remembered that at that time, the third young grandmother was also accompanied by a maid in purple clothes, who looked a little skillful and acted very capable. ”

The girl in purple is talking about cold frost, cold frost has always liked to wear purple clothes, which everyone knows.

When Qin Zhen heard this, his expression became even more excited, and he stared at Qin Yunuan angrily and said, "Unfilial girl, what else do you have to say?" ”

"What else is there to say?" Qin Yunuan glanced at Qin Qin indifferently, and paid more attention to this palace maid who was obviously blaming herself, and raised her head to ask, "If the emperor doesn't mind, Yunuan wants to ask this palace maid a few questions in public." ”

Emperor Zhaoxuan nodded and agreed.

Qin Yunuan walked around the palace maid, her steps were slow but rhythmic, and her inquiring gaze made people a little creepy.

"Spread your hands out for me to see." Qin Yunuan spoke.

This palace maid didn't dare to disobey, and honestly showed Qin Yunuan with her palms facing up.

"Sure enough, the first question, you said that you are responsible for the pruning and cleaning of the shrubs in the lotus pond, one of the two is to use scissors and the other is to use a broom, and the palms of your hands will be calloused, but why are your palms so white, but the calluses grow on the fingertips?"

The palace maid's body trembled, but she immediately replied with confidence: "The slave maid used to work in the Shangyi Bureau, and she often picked needles, and she was only recently transferred to the lotus pond;

。 ”

"Okay, that makes sense, another question, since you just came, how do you know my identity even the maids around me know, a person who has just been transferred to the front palace can recognize the person in Ning Wangfu just by his back, isn't it too strange?" After Qin Yunuan finished speaking, she snorted coldly, waiting for her answer.

"It's ......." The palace maid began to be distressed, and she frowned and began to think of an answer.

"There is a third question," Qin Yunuan took advantage of the victory to pursue, "You said that you were pruning flowers and plants when you saw me, then let me ask you, what kind of flowers and plants were you pruning at that time, what are your names, what are your habits, and is there anything to taboo and pay special attention to?" ”

The palace maid's mind was already blank.

"You're obviously a palace maid pruning flowers and plants in the lotus pond, so you don't even know such simple common sense, right? Well? Qin Yunuan's few simple questions came at once, and this inexperienced palace maid was obviously unable to resist.

"Slave and maid, slave and maid don't know, slave and maid are all truthful answers, slave and maid were very scared at the time, many things can't be remembered clearly, the third young grandmother forced the slave and maid like this, and the slave and maid were afraid." What a trick to fish in troubled waters.

Qin Zhen also immediately stood up: "It's useless to quibble, unfilial daughter, in vain I worked hard to cultivate you, let you know how to read and learn etiquette, and marry into King Ning's mansion, how do you repay the Qin family who gave birth to you and raised you?" ”

"Father, Yu Nuan really doesn't understand what you mean, first, it is her mother who teaches Yu Nuan to read and understand etiquette, and you have nothing to do with your father, and second, Yu Nuan is not quibbling, and why do you insist that it was Yu Nuan who killed the eldest brother, is it true that my father's purpose is also to watch the Qin family kill each other to be happy?"

"Unfilial girl, see that I don't kill you, an unfilial girl, to avenge your brother." Qin Zhi shouted with red eyes, Fang wanted to step forward, but was stopped by the cold frost that had been protecting Qin Yunuan's side.

"Get out of here, you're just a maid, why should you care about our Qin family's affairs." Qin Zhen tried to use the little majesty left to suppress this cold frost who didn't know what to do.

But just when Qin Zhen wanted to push away the cold frost, another more powerful big hand suddenly stopped in front of Qin Qian, the owner of the big hand was wearing a black mask, and his eyes were like extracted from the iceberg pool, clear but cold, with an irresistible pressure.

"Father-in-law, it's too much to be in front of the emperor." Leng Changxi's indifferent tone didn't look like he was talking to his father-in-law, and now in his eyes, Qin Zhen was not even an elder of the same dynasty, and even Menghua, the general of the Mengjia Army who had been confronting the Leng family's army, made Leng Changxi even more respectful.

At least he was still a bright and upright opponent, and the person in front of him was just a beast with a human face and a beast's heart.

"Your Majesty, the corruption case of the Guozijian and the chief bookkeeper and other eighteen people has been investigated clearly, and the relevant personnel have been taken into custody and are waiting for the emperor to deal with it." Leng Changxi glanced at Qin Qian, and clearly felt Qin Qian's imperceptible trembling, that's right, most of the Guozijian's main books and teachings are Qin Zhen's protégés, and this thorough investigation is aimed at Qin Qian.

"Also, Fang Cai Weichen has gone to see the body of the so-called eldest young master of the Qin family, and it is certain that the corpse is fake."
