381: The Balance Between State and Family Affairs!
Cheng Qing scolded Jin Rui for having no conscience, but Jin Rui didn't react.
But Cheng Qing scolded Jin Rui for being stupid, and Jin Rui couldn't accept it.
She opened her eyes and looked at Cheng Qing indignantly.
"You—you don't understand!"
Like Cheng Qing, a proud son of heaven who is seventeen years old and has six yuan and the first, how can he understand the suffering of the palace maid.
Why did Cheng Qing stand on the moral high ground and accuse her?
Cheng Qing really doesn't understand.
Cheng Qing closed the file in his hand.
"You are the big palace maid next to the queen's mother, the lady is very generous to the palace people in Kunning Palace, especially good to you, every year will reward you with a lot of property, you are alone in the palace as an errand boy, the whole family has a good life. However, the brothers in your family are not angry, and they are addicted to gambling, and in order to fill the gambling debts for your brothers, you started the idea of the queen's jewelry, and took a few pieces of jewelry that were not too eye-catching out of the palace to sell, but they were accidentally discovered by the concubine who assisted in palace affairs, and caught a handle with you...... A stupid person like you still wants to be a master in one step, and the queen wants you to marry someone and leave the palace, obviously to help you. ”
Jin Rui's eyes widened.
Since Cheng Qing knows everything, what is the need to interrogate her?
Jin Rui didn't close her eyes for a few days, and she really couldn't survive it at this time, so she followed Cheng Qing's words and said, "Yes, it's Concubine Shu, she wants to blackmail the slave maid and let the slave maid frame the queen mother, she promised to let the slave maid also be the maid, and wait for the eldest prince to ascend the throne...... Concubine Shu is a slut, she lied to me, right, she threw me in the Shen Penal Division! ”
Jin Rui recruited?
Xiao Yunting felt that no matter who picked Jin Rui as the internal response, it was too stupid.
Jin Rui, the palace maid, is full of loopholes, and it is easier to buy.
But she can easily betray the queen who has served for more than ten years, and she will also betray the second master!
What will the secretary do if not?
Cheng Qing has a grudge with Concubine Shu and the eldest prince, Jin Rui confessed that he was instructed by Concubine Shu, Cheng Qing will be happy to see it!
But it won't be that simple...... Xiao Yunting's eyes flashed.
Cheng Qing didn't immediately pick up the credit for this splash, but smiled at Jin Rui:
"You are really not honest, although Concubine Shu took your handle, she didn't think about how to use it, what good is it for her to bring down the queen, there are so many ladies in the palace, Concubine Shu is not necessarily able to succeed."
Before Cheng Rong died, the emperor was still more fond of Concubine Shu, at that time, most of the courtiers supported the eldest prince as the prince, if there was no Cheng Rong, after a year or two, the emperor would have pushed the boat to establish the eldest prince as the prince, after all, the image of the eldest prince inside and outside the court and the opposition was relatively good at that time.
If there is a chance to tear the queen off the horse at that time, Concubine Shu will definitely not hesitate, because she will probably be the successor at that time.
Now, Concubine Shu's weight in front of the emperor may not be half of Concubine Ning.
Jin Rui still wanted to speak, but Cheng Qing didn't want to listen anymore, but saluted in the direction of the door:
"Your Majesty, Wechen has finished asking."
The emperor actually deigned to come to the Shen Penal Division in person, and Xiao Yunting also hurriedly saluted.
"No courtesy."
Although the emperor heard Cheng Qing's interrogation of Jin Rui, Cheng Qing still had to report the evidence she had, and she presented the file to the emperor:
Since late April, the whereabouts of the palace maid Jin Rui have all been recorded, where did she get the witch doll, and when did she put it in the queen's makeup box, and Wei Chenju found a witness. Wei Chen and Xiao Shizi were in the Shen Penal Division for five days, and a total of 19 inappropriate palace people in Kunning Palace were tried, and they were also recorded, please make a decision. ”
The internal supervisor beside the emperor took the file in Cheng Qing's hand.
The emperor turned it over, handed the file to the inner supervisor, and said strangely:
"Cheng Bian, you invited me to listen to Jin Rui's confession, and since I came, why didn't you continue to ask?"
"Back to Your Majesty, the cause and process of the palace maid Jin Rui framing the queen mother, Weichen are all recorded, Weichen and Shizi investigated the case, and wanted to return the queen's mother a clean slate, because the mother is the mother of the country, and the abolition of the mother of the country is a state affair. Now it has been confirmed that Niangniang was framed, and how to deal with the murderer who framed Niangniang is Your Majesty's private matter, and Weichen and Shizi dare not overstep their bounds. ”
Just look it up here.
Jin Rui followed her tone and said that when she was bribed by Concubine Shu to frame the queen, Cheng Qing also wanted to crucify Concubine Shu, but who knows what the emperor thought, after all, the emperor had covered up a scandal for the eldest prince, and it would not be strange to come again.
If Cheng Qing misses a blow, he will expose his hostility towards Concubine Shu and the eldest prince.
Not only did she not insist that Concubine Shu was the real culprit behind the scenes, but she also pretended to be upset about Concubine Shu and handed over the decision to the emperor.
On the side of the Prudent Criminal Division, she has found so much, and Senior Brother Meng will not find nothing.
Combined with what was found on both sides, the emperor could definitely confirm the murderer.
As for whether the emperor wants to punish the murderer...... Seriously, Cheng Qing doesn't care, the little wife wants to hurt the wife, that's the emperor's family matter.
The emperor listened to Cheng Qing's words, and really did not force Cheng Qing to continue the interrogation, but asked Cheng Qing and Xiao Yunting to retreat first, saying that they had worked hard for a few days and could go out of the palace to go home to rest. As for what can be said and what cannot be said, the emperor thinks that Cheng Qing and Xiao Yunting know it in their hearts, and there is no need to deliberately explain it.
When Cheng Qing left, he heard Jin Rui begging for mercy.
A palace maid can not care about a court official like Cheng Qing, but she is afraid of the emperor from the bottom of her heart.
How the emperor wants to judge, Cheng Qing doesn't care anymore.
Jin Rui hasn't closed her eyes for a few days, and Cheng Qing is not much better, don't look at how easy she was when she presented the file to the emperor, if she wanted to piece together the fragmented clues into a complete logical chain, Cheng Qing's workload in the past few days was too great.
She was as tired as she had been through another try, and now she would just go home, take a good shower, eat a good meal, and get a good night's sleep!
In the palace, Cheng Qing couldn't really relax at all.
In comparison, Xiao Yunting, a person who grew up in the palace, returned to the court, even in a place like the Shen Criminal Division, he was like a fish in water, and he looked sick, but he was not really tired and faint.
Cheng Qing is out of the palace!
'Tired of winning the case' must have had a result.
I don't know how many people want to ask Cheng Qing for news, but they don't move, and they don't dare to be the first to come out.
Master Cheng Liu sent someone to ask, and Liu said that Cheng Qing had rested, and Master Cheng Liu was not reluctant.
Cheng Qing and Xiao Yunting left the palace first, while Meng Huaijin and the five princes left Jinyi Weibei Town Fusi in the evening.
When the fifth prince left, the fourth prince was still not released.
"Fourth brother, brother for more than ten years, you are so self-sufficient."
The fourth prince sneered, "You think you are qualified to sympathize with me? Even if I was deceived and gave a fake auspicious stone to the queen, my father would definitely forgive me. ”
- Really?
The fifth prince didn't say anything.
The fifth prince stayed in Jinyi Weibei Town Fusi for a few days, cooperated with Meng Huaijin to complete the errand, and had not yet received the emperor's commendation, and when he walked out of the gate of Beizhen Fusi, he first got the news that his biological mother Zhao Jieyu was critically ill.
Imperial eunuch Liu hunched his waist:
"Fifth Highness, go back to the palace with the old slave, Jieyu Niangniang is waiting to see you."
