Chapter 275: Planting Heels
Although the courtiers followed Emperor Sheng to the palace to escape the summer, they could not enjoy themselves like Emperor Sheng, and their official duties could not be left behind.
This Xiuyu girl is one of the top brands in Cuiweilou, and she is well-known in Anyang City, so her sudden death is not a small news, so it was reported.
The sudden death of the person who can testify against Wen Chengyan is too coincidental no matter how you look at it, it is more like killing people.
But it is unknown whether this is Wen Chengyan killing people to clear suspicion, or Qian killing people and killing people in order to wronged Wen Chengyan.
Minyang took the opportunity to say: "Shengshang, although I don't know how the crown princess knows about the tattoo on Yan'er's body, this matter is not a secret, as long as you buy the attendants around him, you can know!" The crown princess had an affair with others, and even framed Yan'er, which is really deceitful! ”
Not to be outdone, Qian Shi: "I dare to prove my innocence with death, do you dare to set the country?" ”
Minyang said angrily: "You have a cheap life, can An be compared with my son?" ”
Qian laughed angrily: "Cheap life? This palace is the crown princess! It turns out that the eldest princess treats the palace and the prince like this! ”
The two argued, and Emperor Sheng was troubled by their quarrel.
Today's assassination incident was information that Wen Rongan got in advance, so he also made some arrangements.
For example, these two assassins who suddenly turned against the water were actually pretended.
It is indeed true that the farmer Chen family was killed by corrupt officials because of Minyang's responsibility, and the assassin surnamed Chen is indeed a descendant of the Chen family, and he is also one of Wen Rong'an's secret guards.
Back then, he did have the heart to lurk beside Minyang for revenge.
But the process of selecting the dead is extremely strict, even if he hides his identity, the other party has a way to find out, and once he is discovered, it is a dead end.
So he wants to sneak into the Eldest Princess's Mansion, which is not realistic at all.
Later, he went to Beining to join the army, and was favored by Wen Ling and entered the Wen family's secret guard.
After Wen Rongan learned about this, he felt that he could operate and give Minyang a blow.
After getting the news that Minyang intended to use the assassination incident to confuse his eyes and take advantage of the murder of the Qian family, this was an opportunity.
Speaking of the tattoo on Wen Chengyan's chest, Yan Ran had a toothache.
After Qian recalled the shape of this flower and plant, he didn't know that it was a tattoo, let alone that the person who ruined her innocence was Wen Chengyan.
But when Yan Ran saw this flower, she quickly had a guess.
This flower is called Bone Grass, and it has another name, which is called Rana Grass.
Wen Chengyan put this pattern on his body, what it represents, it is self-evident.
Although Yan Ran was very disgusted and didn't want to admit it, combined with Minyang's purpose, he still guessed Wen Chengyan.
That's why the assassin deliberately cut through Wen Chengyan's clothes, just to let everyone see the tattoo.
Although Minyang insisted that the Qian family knew that Wen Chengyan had tattoos through other channels, the queen and Concubine Yun had already learned about it from the Qian family in advance, so they had a preconceived view.
Moreover, they also knew that Minyang and the Qian family were originally conspiring with the prince, and it was impossible for the Qian family to have an affair with others, so it could only be Minyang who had other thoughts.
"I still think it's strange, why is it Dingguogong? Now that I think about it, the eldest princess is ambitious! ”
The dispute between Qian and Minyang continued, and Qian suddenly said such a sentence, and the hall suddenly fell into a strange silence.
What does it mean to aim high?
It means that Minyang wants the Qian family to give birth to Wen Chengyan's child, and then pretend to be the prince's child to ascend the throne.
In the future, the inheritance of this throne will no longer be the bloodline of Emperor Sheng, but will become Minyang's.
Qian's words made the courtiers think about it with great fear, and even Emperor Sheng was suspicious.
I have to say that if you think about it along this line, Minyang's recent behavior of smearing Wen Rong'an, who assisted Xiao Ming, is indeed very suspicious!
Wen Chengyan was also silent, even thinking about the credibility of this sentence.
If it was in the past, Wen Chengyan would not even have this kind of thought.
But since the incident that Minyang actually designed him in order to discredit Yan Ran's reputation, he can no longer trust Minyang.
He remembered that day in Cuiwei Building, he quickly got drunk and did that in a daze, and he didn't remember anything else.
He thought about it, and his heart sank little by little.
If this is true, how should a mother who does not hesitate to drug her own son to commit adultery with her cousin and daughter-in-law in order to achieve her goals?
Minyang was caught off guard by the Qian family, endured the secret hatred in his heart, and expressed his loyalty to Emperor Sheng between his words: "Qian! The verdict on this matter is still inconclusive, and you don't want to spew blood! This palace is a dignified princess, enjoying endless honor, these are all given to the palace by the saint, the palace is too late, how can there be a different heart? This palace is loyal to the saint, how can you be slandered like this?! ”
"If the eldest princess is so loyal, why does she support King Yongning's rebellion?"
A female voice sounded from outside the hall, and as the figure approached, everyone shouted, "It's Princess Roujia!" ”
The person who came was Xiao Se, she was dressed in formal palace clothes, her abdomen was slightly bulging, and the horse Shen Yu followed her, carefully supporting her.
Yan Ran was also surprised, she didn't expect Xiao Se to come in person, and the timing of her appearance was just right.
These were all arranged by Wen Rong'an in advance, and when he saw Yan Ran's expression as if he had taken a reassuring pill, a smile appeared on his lips.
Well, this surprise should be very much in line with the little cousin's heart.
Xiao Se successively saluted Emperor Sheng and others.
Emperor Sheng twisted his eyebrows and asked, "Rou Jia, what do you mean by what you just said?" ”
Minyang was slightly panicked, and preemptively said, "Holy Lord, don't listen to their slander!" This must have been colluded between the Qian family and Yan Ran, just to frame me! ”
Xiao Se was calm and relaxed, which was in stark contrast to Minyang's self-chaos: "I haven't said anything yet, what is the eldest princess anxious about." ”
Xiao Se presented a very heavy letter to Emperor Sheng, explaining: "Holy Lord, the courtier sister had previously captured the remnants of several Yongning King rebels in the territory of the fief. After interrogation, it was learned that during the rebellion of King Yongning, the eldest princess of Minyang took the initiative to provide military funds to King Yongning to help him commit rebellion! The matter is big, and the courtiers didn't dare to slack off, so they rushed over from Heyang overnight to expose the treason of the eldest princess of Minyang to you in person! The courtier's sister still has a witness, just outside the hall, and the saint can interrogate at any time. ”
Minyang never thought that King Yongning was already dead, and those things should be buried deeply, why was it dug up again?
She tried her best to defend herself, using all her strength and feelings to show her sincerity: "You are talking nonsense! The so-called evidence is all forged by you! Holy Lord, don't believe their rhetoric! I am a fellow mother with you, and even if others have different intentions towards you, how can I betray you? Holy Lord, I am innocent, you must believe me! ”
Minyang sent military funds to King Yongning, and she really didn't have the intention of betraying Emperor Sheng, but she always acted like this, seemingly impartial on the surface, and secretly balanced the forces of all parties.
Just like although she did not participate in the imperial power struggle between Xiao Zun and Xiao Yu, she sold it to both sides in private.
In this way, no matter who becomes the emperor in the future, she can be favored forever.
She's always been good at doing this kind of two-sided flattering thing, but this time she fell behind.
Emperor Sheng put down the folds, and his mood was a little complicated: "Sister Huang, I naturally believe in you. But the human and material evidence is there, and I have to investigate and give an explanation to the ministers. Sister Huang, don't worry, the clear will clear itself. Someone came, passed on the commander Zhang, immediately returned to the city to block the Dingguo Mansion, and interrogated a cadre overnight. ”
Emperor Sheng's words were both affectionate and reasonable, and at the same time, they also blocked Minyang's mouth, making her want to play the emotional card again.
After all, the clearer is self-clearing, and how to check it is not enough.
In fact, after Emperor Sheng saw those evidences, combined with today's events, he already believed most of them.
Minyang's secret support for King Yongning is enough to show that she is ambitious.
Then it makes sense that she used her son to confuse the royal blood and let her descendants ascend to the throne.
Therefore, Xiao Se's arrival was just right, pushing Qian and Minyang into a stalemate.
These two things complement each other, and they don't need evidence at all to corroborate each other's truth and falsehood.
But Emperor Sheng and Minyang are sisters and brothers, and he has pampered Minyang for so many years, and there is still a glimmer of hope in his heart.
But who would have thought that this interrogation was good, and even the truth of today's incident was asked.
Minyang bought off the Xiuyu girl in Cuiweilou and gave Wen Chengyan a drink of drugged wine, which stunned him.
Minyang's frame can enter the palace, and hiding Wen Chengyan in the car and bringing it into the palace can be described as unaware.
Then, Minyang disguised Wen Chengyan as Xiao Ming, and used the incense to make the Qian family in a trance, and the two had a relationship without realizing it.
Although Minyang wiped out Xiuyu and the subordinates who entered the palace that day and other relevant insiders, she still has a few henchmen, otherwise if one dies, who will do things for her.
Those few people were confidants, so they naturally had hard mouths, but these few difficult bones were finally gnawed down by Zhang Yunzong.
Emperor Sheng was furious and immediately issued an order to deprive Minyang of all the seals, although Wen Chengyan did not know it, he could not escape the fate of being seated.
Although Yan Ran had the illegal evidence of Minyang before, she did not try to bring her down because of this.
Because those things are in Emperor Sheng's heart, compared with his feelings for Minyang, they are not worth mentioning.
But now it's different, Minyang is guilty of attempting rebellion.
It is a matter of imperial power, and he touched the forbidden area of Emperor Sheng, even if it is his own son Xiao Zun, he will be punished the same, not to mention Minyang.
Yan Ran was secretly glad that the decision she made that day was indeed correct.
The news that Minyang secretly sent military funds to King Yongning was exactly what she exchanged Xiao Zun's life for Mei Ji, and it was really worth it to be able to bring down Minyang in one fell swoop.
On the other side, Minyang knew very well whose hands she was planted in, and she was very unwilling.
"Someone, this palace wants to see the saint! This palace has something very important to tell the Holy One! It's about the country, are you delayed? ”
Minyang was temporarily grounded by Emperor Sheng, and he hadn't figured out what to do with her.
Minyang roared like this for a few days, and the inner servant couldn't stand it anymore, so he had to return to Emperor Sheng.
Emperor Sheng summoned Minyang and asked helplessly, "What else do you have to say?" ”
Minyang's eyes flashed with crazy hatred, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Holy Lord, I want to expose Wen Rong'an's true identity, his biological mother Rong Jin is the eldest princess of the Xili clan!" ”
