Chapter 296: Posture, Someone Eyes
Empress Yao's expression froze, and the remaining smile on the corner of her mouth suddenly froze. Chu Zheng's words were obviously aimed at her, Queen Yao was suddenly a little flustered, immediately pulled down her face, and said in a deep voice: "Prince, what you mean by this palace has wronged her?" ”
It is true that Huo Sijin is a powerless woman, no matter who she was before or what she did, as long as it didn't get in her way, there was no need for Queen Yao to put so much effort into asking her for the blame. From beginning to end, Queen Yao's idea was on Chu Zheng, but she didn't expect that as soon as Chu Zheng stepped into the hall, she immediately pointed out her thoughts.
This made Queen Yao, who originally felt that the victory was in her hands, suddenly wake up, and the big thing has not been accomplished, so she can't take it lightly.
"Prince, this palace can tell you plainly that Huo Sijin disguised herself as a man and pretended to be her brother Huo Changjin, she committed the crime of bullying the king, such a big crime, if this palace has no evidence, it will never call her over for interrogation in person."
How will Chu Zheng deal with it, Queen Yao doesn't know, at the moment she only feels that she should immediately convict Huo Sijin of the crime, as long as the crime is convicted, the matter will be successful.
Inevitably, something went wrong, and Queen Yao immediately set her eyes on Empress Dowager Yao, "Queen Mother, you also know whether what the concubine said is true." ”
Empress Yao looked in the direction of Chu Zheng, lowered her voice again, and said to Empress Dowager Yao: "The prince seems to be thinking of the love of the former master and servant, protecting Huo Sijin, the queen mother, you look ......"
Empress Yao paused, hesitated and gently spit out a few words, "Can't you let the prince continue to be deceived......"
continued to be deceived, these words deeply pierced the mind of the Empress Dowager Yao.
Yes, Chu Zheng is the crown prince, how can he be deceived, and again and again!
Empress Dowager Yao's expression was slightly gloomy, Empress Yao saw it in her eyes and was happy in her heart, the more Chu Zheng defended Huo Sijin, the more angry Empress Dowager Yao became......
"Zheng'er, you are a dignified prince, it is not suitable to meddle in the affairs of the female dependents, so let the mourning family deal with it." Empress Dowager Yao said.
Huo Sijin bit the corner of her lips slightly, she really wanted to say to Chu Zheng that he really shouldn't interfere in this matter, no matter whether she could be good or not today, whether she was public or private, she didn't want Chu Zheng to be implicated.
Even though he had a thousand words in his heart, Huo Sijin weighed it again and again and did not say it. Now in this situation, if she speaks, I am afraid that it will make people suspicious.
Huo Sijin should have seen Chu Zheng for the first time, and he couldn't show that he was very familiar with Chu Zheng.
She could only look forward silently in her heart, hoping that Chu Zheng could understand her hard work.
However, at this moment, a palace person's announcement suddenly came from outside, "Your Majesty has arrived." ”
Huo Sijin was suddenly shocked, her jaw was cold and was bitten out of blood, the fishy smell spread in her mouth, and the fishy smell of blood made her uneasy. She is not afraid of death, this life was originally picked up, and if she dies, it will only disappear from then on, but she is afraid that Chu Zheng will be implicated.
Chu Zheng is her benefactor, the only person in the world who makes her feel at ease, he always holds up for her, and no one has ever treated her so well.
She would rather die than bother him.
But now that the emperor is here, this is not just a matter of the harem maids, it is unknown what evidence the other party holds in his hands. If the evidence is ironclad, I am afraid that even if she commits suicide, Chu Zheng will still be implicated in the end.
If the emperor is dragged to try the case in person, the evidence is ironclad, and Chu Zheng defends her, he will inevitably be disliked by the emperor.
Huo Sijin's heart was extremely confused, and his palms were sweating for a while......
"Your Majesty, why are you here?"
The arrival of the emperor made Empress Yao very happy, she knew that Empress Dowager Yao was quite indulgent to Chu Zheng because of the past, if Chu Zheng took Huo Sijin away strongly, I am afraid that this matter can only be temporarily stopped.
It was really dozing and someone handed the pillow, and at this juncture, the emperor actually came.
Great!
Empress Yao was jubilant in her heart, Chu Zheng dared to be presumptuous in front of Empress Dowager Yao, could it be that he dared to be presumptuous in front of the emperor!
"Your Majesty, you have come just in time." Empress Yao greeted her attentively.
Inevitably, Empress Yao hurriedly saluted, and then quickly briefly explained what had just happened......
The emperor didn't like Empress Yao, and he had never been interested in what she said, but this time he saw Empress Yao touching her lips on her lips, speaking quickly and without pause, and the most important thing was that she made things clear in a few words.
I have never seen Empress Yao have such a verbal ability.
"Your Majesty, you are the king of a country in our Southern Chu, and you have the final say in everything in the world, and the concubine implores Your Majesty to personally try this case." Empress Yao raised her voice and pleaded, her knees slightly bent to make a salute, and her posture should be more regular and more regular.
Rao is Empress Dowager Yao has never seen Empress Yao have such a "graceful and magnificent" posture, and besides, she also thinks that what Empress Yao said is also the truth, looking at Chu Zheng's tone and demeanor, it is obvious that she has been deceived by Huo Sijin and has been defending her. If you want to expose Huo Sijin's face, you really have to ask the emperor to come forward.
"Emperor, since you are here, then you will deal with it, the mourning family is also a little tired." Empress Dowager Yao took the opportunity to pass over.
Although there is some discord between their mother and son, the emperor will not completely lose face to her.
The emperor looked at Empress Dowager Yao's aunt and nephew, and then looked at Chu Zheng with a complicated expression, "Zheng'er, what the hell is going on?" ”
Empress Yao was dumbfounded, she didn't make it clear? Or did Your Majesty not hear clearly?
"Your Majesty......"
"I didn't ask you." As soon as Empress Yao spoke, she was snorted by the emperor.
Like a basin of cold water poured from her head, Queen Yao shrank her head and suddenly didn't dare to speak.
The emperor said to Chu Zheng, "But you sent someone to invite me over?" ”
Chu Zheng nodded, "It's Erchen." ”
At this moment, everyone present was stunned, the emperor was actually invited by Chu Zheng?
Even Huo Sijin was surprised, and couldn't help but quietly look at Chu Zheng with his spare eyes, and Huo Sijin reacted immediately after just one glance.
Yes, since Chu Zheng stepped into this Fushou Palace, neither Empress Dowager Yao nor Empress Yao could prevent the news from reaching the emperor's ears. With such a big move, the emperor will have to know sooner or later.
Instead of waiting for the emperor to know about it and then come to interrogate, it is better to invite the emperor over generously now.
Seeing is believing, and with the emperor here, Empress Yao can't play any scheming tricks.
Huo Sijin's heart fell in her stomach, at this time, as long as she survived, she would rather die than admit it, and it was not lifeless. And even if she dies, as long as she is handled properly, she can clear Chu Zheng's suspicion.
Huo Sijin's mind became active again, and he quietly planned for the future......
Chu Zheng bowed to the emperor, and then said word by word: "Father, as soon as the son of the son stepped into the capital, someone sent the news of Miss Huo's mother and daughter trapped in Fushou Palace to the son of the minister. ”
Just this sentence immediately made the emperor's face change, and the knife immediately glanced at Empress Yao.
Who else can this "someone" be besides Queen Yao.
"It's not ......" Queen Yao blurted out subconsciously, as soon as the words came out, she realized that something was wrong, Chu Zheng didn't name and said that it was her, she opened her mouth, didn't she admit it by herself.
Empress Yao hurriedly took it away, looking forward to Fang Cai's low voice, but the emperor didn't hear it.
Chu Zheng sneered, and then said: "Everyone in the capital knows that Erchen and Huo Shizi are irreversible friends, and Erchen has just learned of Huo Shizi's death, and now it is even more impossible to let Miss Huo's mother and daughter go." ”
The emperor frowned, "You just learned about Huo Shizi's death?" What's going on? ”
"As soon as Erchen returned to the capital, he was very puzzled when he heard that Miss Huo was detained in Fushou Palace, at this time, Zheng Changdong, the chief of the guard of the East Palace, asked Erchen for guilt, the soldiers were important, and he didn't want Erchen to be distracted by the trivial things in the capital, so he took the initiative to hide the news and never told him."
Immediately, Chu Zheng's words changed, and he suddenly became aggressive, "Zheng Changdong's palace must be disposed of, where is this a trivial matter!" When Bengong and Changjin were in Huzhou, they also slept in the same tent, he was a man or a woman, how could Bengong not know? Changjin is talented and noble, he is the son of the Hou family, he should have made meritorious contributions and was full of spirit, but now he died young, or died at the hands of the Hou Zhai! ”
"The person is gone, but the queen mother doesn't want him to rest in peace, and makes these unnecessary things. If you want to pull the palace down from the position of the crown prince of the East Palace, there are ways, but the queen mother wants to disturb the peace of the dead, so she is not afraid of restless nights and ghosts!"
