376: Confused
The fifth prince hadn't seen Zhao Jieyu for a long time.
Every time I go back to Concubine Ning's palace to ask for peace, Concubine Ning doesn't want Zhao Jieyu to meet the five princes, and the five princes can't see Zhao Jieyu even if they stand in Concubine Ning's palace all day.
The fifth prince was not even sure if Concubine Ning said that Zhao Jieyu was sick or not.
Even if he was not sick and was tossed by Concubine Ning all day long, plus he couldn't see the five princes, he was worried every day, and the fake illness would become a real illness.
In the palace, thinking that Zhao Jieyu only had five princes, the fourth prince pinched his weakness.
Does he have to confess his mistake to the fourth brother and pray for forgiveness?
The fifth prince asked himself.
No, he can have another choice, this is the opportunity God gave him.
The fifth prince picked up the dossier sent by Jinyiwei.
"Fourth brother, you better cooperate, it is filial piety for you to send strange stones to your mother, why do you want to order someone to break the strange stones? The inner prison who carries the strange stone has been recruited, fourth brother, you are the prince, Jinyiwei will not torture you, but they will do it to Yushi, Yu Yushi has already entered Jinyiwei's edict, Yu Yushi is a Wenchen, where can you bear it in the edict! β
Yu Yushi was thrown into prison?
My father has always cherished his reputation, how could he throw Yu Yushi into the edict of Jinyiwei, just because Yu Yushi happened to say 'Phoenix crying blood, a bad omen'?
The fourth prince suspected that the fifth prince was cheating him, or insisted that he just bought the phoenix strange stone from the southern businessman with a lot of money, and the stone broke and had nothing to do with him.
If there was definite evidence, how could the fifth prince talk to him here, and escorted him to his father and emperor earlier.
The four princes were not only not fooled, but also worried about the situation of the queen.
"I don't know what my father will do with the queen mother, alas, how could the queen mother make a mistake and do such a thing......"
Seeing that the four princes pretended to feel sorry for the queen, the five princes were very angry, took the file out of the room, and slammed the door.
This is the first time that the five princes have been angry in front of the four princes, and the two fell out before, and the five princes only resisted softly, not as angry as they are now.
It turns out that Xiao Wu also has a temper.
It's hard for Xiao Wu to pretend for so many years before.
The four princes can fully understand the anger of the five princes, and they want to please the queen when they see the five princes go over many obstacles to participate in the Qianqiu banquet and give them a birthday gift carved by themselves.
The five princes wanted to curry favor with the queen mother, and even used the queen mother to help Zhao Jieyu get rid of Concubine Ning.
I thought it was very beautiful, and I did it well, and the queen mother did express her kindness to the five princes.
It's a pity that I owe a little luck.
At the Qianqiu banquet, he just got on the line with the queen's mother, the queen herself is difficult to protect, and the bamboo basket of the five princes is empty - the four princes are also afraid, if the five princes are really called to catch the queen, he and Concubine Ning have not been deceived by the five princes for so many years, it is a real tiger for trouble, and the five princes who rely on the queen of the middle palace may be more difficult to deal with than the three princes.
The four princes closed their eyes in the room, thinking about the intricate details.
He has been imprisoned for three days, is the mother worried?
My cousin has never experienced anything like this, and I don't know if I will be afraid.
It is impossible for his father to keep him locked up forever and let him out when he is convicted of the queen.
β¦β¦
The fifth prince who slammed the door and left in front of the four princes was actually not angry.
He walked through the courtyard guarded by the Jinyi guard, and at the end of the corridor, Meng Huaijin was talking to a Jinyi Guard.
The five princes remembered this general flag, the day the phoenix stone was broken, this small general flag stood in front of the emperor and shouted to escort him, reacted quickly and was loyal enough, and was splashed with red liquid in the stone.
This person is the nephew of Luo Jun, the commander of Jinyiwei, named Yu Xian, Luo Jun has no children and no daughters, and he is bent on cultivating Yu Xian. Yu Xian still had a white cloth wrapped around one eye, and he didn't rest at home, and he began to come to Jinyi Weibei Town to work as an errand again, and he was really hard.
It seems that it is not easy for everyone to be the prince and the nephew of the minister.
The five princes approached, and heard that Yu Zongqi was talking to Meng Huaijin about the phoenix strange stone, Jinyiwei found a skillful craftsman to glue and restore the broken phoenix strange stone, and finally figured out why the so-called phoenix strange stone shattered as soon as it fell:
"Originally, the mold of the phoenix was carved inside, and the two sides were spliced together, and the phoenix in the middle was mixed with cinnabar and some messy things...... The fourth prince is estimated to have been deceived. β
Yu Xian didn't want to deal with Meng Huaijin at all.
As soon as he saw Meng Huaijin, his shoulder hurt,
But Meng Huai took the initiative to ask for an investigation of this case, and Yu Xian wanted to earn credit, and he had to intersect with Meng Huai.
Yu Xian wants to deal with Cheng Qing even more, Cheng Qing and Xiao Yunting are now two big mushrooms on the territory of the Shen Criminal Division, and if they don't finish the trial and don't contact outsiders, Yu Xian won't see Cheng Qing at all
Hehe, it doesn't matter, he is a mature Jinyi Wei Zongqi, and he must be able to distinguish between public and private.
If you can't accept dealing with Meng Huaijin, how can you win Meng Huaijin in the future?
For this, Meng Huaijin also felt that Yu Xian had made progress.
Of course, Meng Huaijin did not approve of Yu Xian's judgment.
The Four Princes were deceived?
The fourth prince grew up in the palace since he was a child, and he didn't know how many good things he had seen with his eyes, how could he be deceived so easily?
The four princes must know that this 'Phoenix Strange Stone' is not auspicious from the sky, but is carved by skilled craftsmen, if Meng Huaijin is the fourth prince, he will definitely admit this!
admits that he wanted to be in the limelight and wanted to be rewarded, so he got a fake phoenix stone to please the queen.
Without the permission of the emperor, who would dare to imprison the favored prince for three days.
The emperor feels sorry for his son, but this case involves the former dynasty and the harem, and the emperor now looks at everyone like a murderer behind the scenes, no matter how much he loves the four princes on weekdays, he will be suspicious of the four princes now.
Only by admitting minor sins can we get rid of major sins.
If the four princes don't understand this, Meng Huaijin guesses that the other party will make a big mistake this time.
When Yu Xian left, after listening to the words of the fifth prince, Meng Huaijin was even more convinced of his judgment.
"The Fourth Highness thinks that the queen mother will definitely be questioned?"
It turned out that this was the reason why the four princes were unwilling to admit even a small crime, and they were sure that the queen would be questioned.
ββThe four princes misjudged the emperor's trust in the empress!
Meng Huaijin did not want to call the emperor's concern for the empress 'affection', he felt that it was more appropriate to call it trust. A husband and wife have been together for twenty or thirty years, during this period, the wife has never made any big mistakes, the filial piety of the mother-in-law, the concubine, once someone told the husband that the wife's obedience is all pretended, how can the husband believe it?
No man will accept that he is so stupid that he can't see his wife's true face.
What's more, the 'evidence' found from the queen's bedroom was actually to curse the queen mother with the technique of disgust with victory, in Cheng Qing's words, this matter is not logical, what benefit can the queen get by cursing the queen mother to death, and it is not that the queen mother is competing with the queen mother for favor.
Even if the queen can't wait to be the queen mother herself, she should curse the emperor if she wants to curse.
Cheng Qing said that the person behind it wanted to separate the queen mother's trust in the queen, and when the queen's 'crime' was revealed, the queen mother was cold and would not intercede for the queen.
This speculation is very reasonable, and it seems that something is missing.
The case was confusing, Meng Huaijin wanted to talk to Xiao Yunting, but Xiao Yunting and Cheng Qing stayed in the Criminal Division together, avoiding it, Meng Huaijin suspected that Xiao Yunting was deliberately avoiding him!
