Chapter 298: Torture, the queen was dumbfounded
Empress Yao only felt that her mind turned white in an instant, what did this old man say just now?
No one died?
How is this possible?
Empress Yao subconsciously thought that she had heard it wrong, and she immediately reprimanded: "Let's make it clear, who died back then?" Who is alive? ”
Empress Dowager Yao also frowned unconsciously, although she was old, she was also deaf and clear, and she heard very clearly what this Doctor Chen said.
But no, he didn't say that yesterday.
The matter is big, Huo Changjin is the long history of Chu Zheng's side, if he wrongs someone, Chu Zheng's face will also be not good-looking at that time, so Empress Dowager Yao is very cautious when investigating this matter, if she is not completely sure, she will not rashly summon Huo Sijin.
But now that the emperor and Chu Zheng are here, the words spoken by this witness are very different, and Empress Dowager Yao suddenly has a bad premonition in her heart......
Isn't there a change in things?
Sure enough, the next moment, I only heard Dr. Chen say: "This lady gave birth to a son and a daughter, the twins are inevitably difficult, the boy is fine, but the girl's body is much weaker than ordinary babies." ”
This time, it was clear and clear, but what was said was not what Queen Yao wanted to hear.
Empress Yao was stunned, and then became furious: "You are talking nonsense, the boy died early, and only the girl is alive!" ”
The boy is fine, the girl is weak, isn't this in response to Huo Sijin's words.
Dr. Chen shook his head again and again, "The grass people are not talking nonsense, and no one has died." ”
"That's not what you told Hongu before!" Empress Yao's voice was extremely high-pitched, she was really anxious, the witnesses she finally found to say were actually helping others, so she had been busy for so long, wouldn't it become a joke!
She didn't care who Huo Changjin was, she had put so much effort into pulling Chu Zheng into the water, but now that Chu Zheng was in this situation, she didn't get out of the water at all, but she was in trouble.
"Auntie, you also heard it, he clearly said that Huo Changjin was dead, and it was Huo Sijin who was alive, and you also saw it with your own eyes, aunt, and heard it with your own ears." Empress Yao hurriedly carried the Empress Dowager Yao out, and only when the Empress Dowager Yao nodded, the emperor would have the possibility of believing her words.
Empress Dowager Yao's face suddenly stiffened slightly, and she secretly remembered Empress Yao in her heart, isn't she making trouble at this time!
Empress Dowager Yao subconsciously looked at the emperor, only to see that the emperor already had an impatient look on his face, he was busy with government affairs, so he took the time to come over, but he didn't specifically listen to Yao Fengyu, a stupid woman, to plead.
The emperor has always disliked Empress Yao, and now that Empress Yao is still unreasonable, it is strange that he will have a good face.
Empress Dowager Yao sighed in her heart: This niece is really not angry, and she can't do anything. No wonder the emperor likes it, if it weren't for her own niece, she wouldn't have accepted her into the palace.
That's it, now that the wood is in the boat, Yao Fengyu has been pushed to the position of queen, and she must not be allowed to fall from the back seat.
Empress Dowager Yao quickly thought about it in her heart, and then said with a straight face: "Emperor, yesterday the mourning family summoned Dr. Chen for questioning, he really didn't say what he said today, he was afraid of some incidents here." There is definitely something wrong with this person, according to the mourning family, this matter still needs to be tried by the emperor before he can see the details. ”
Dr. Chen retorted in public, no matter how you look at it, it looks like Queen Yao has fallen into the trap of others. But on the bright side, Empress Yao can't get involved in this matter anymore, otherwise there may be some bigger trouble waiting for her. Empress Dowager Yao absolutely believes that Empress Yao is not lying, so the biggest possibility is that she was also deceived.
It is better to be deceived than to be ill-intentioned, when the emperor finds out the truth and knows that Empress Yao has also been calculated, at most he will scold her afterwards, and he will not move Empress Yao's phoenix position because of such a trivial matter.
Hearing what Empress Dowager Yao said, Empress Yao also reacted suddenly, and immediately pointed at Dr. Chen and shouted: "He was bribed and deliberately framed this palace!" ”
As for who was bought, Empress Yao immediately set her eyes on Chu Zheng.
It's him, it must be him!
No wonder Chu Zheng is such a cautious person, he immediately entered the palace to support Huo Sijin when he heard the news, it was obvious that he had already bribed Dr. Chen and invited the emperor over, in order to take her in front of the emperor.
This vertical is so vicious! She almost fell for the calculation!
Chu Zheng's expression was faint, "Does the queen want to say that the person who bought him is this palace?" ”
Empress Yao especially wants to say, who else can you be.
Huo Sijin himself? Queen Yao didn't believe it very much, when she found out about Dr. Chen, she deliberately guarded against Huo Sijin and checked Dr. Chen's past clearly, not long after Yang's birth, Dr. Chen never went to Yang's house again, and had no contact with Huo Sijin's mother and daughter.
Empress Yao secretly hated in her heart, but she still couldn't prevent Chu Zheng despite all precautions, so she asked him to set a trap.
Now that I think about it, maybe the whole thing was a trap. Empress Yao's gaze quietly fell on the face of the Li family, who had been standing quietly in the corner, and it was the Li family who mentioned this matter to her at the beginning, so she had the idea of calculating Chu Zheng with this matter, and even the witness of Dr. Chen was found with the help of the Li family.
Queen Yao clenched her teeth, what a Li, eat things inside and outside! She originally thought that the Yi family and the Yao family were relatives, and the Li family would never betray her, but she didn't want the Li family to have other intentions, it was she who believed the Li family and the Yi family.
"This palace doesn't mean that, without evidence, this palace won't talk nonsense." Empress Yao said quite righteously, "But the prince has doubts, and Huo Changjin is the prince's person, this matter must be strictly investigated!" ”
Immediately, Empress Yao pointed at Dr. Chen, and said, "This person is full of lies, and if he doesn't use torture, he probably won't tell the truth." Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, and the concubines thought that they should be punished immediately. ”
Doctor Chen retorted, which made Queen Yao angry, and waited for a heavy sentence to be added to see if he dared to reveal the truth.
As soon as these words came out, Dr. Chen immediately begged for mercy, "Your Majesty spares your life, the Queen Mother spares your life, what the grass people said is really true, begging Your Majesty to spare your life." ”
Empress Yao was very angry, and she couldn't care about whether the emperor allowed it or not, anyway, the queen mother was on her side, and she didn't need to care about anything else, so she scolded at the moment: "You dare to quibble, come on, drag him down, and punish him with fifty boards!" ”
Before the emperor could speak, Empress Yao gave an order, which was really inappropriate, but Empress Dowager Yao agreed with Empress Yao's approach in her heart, this Doctor Chen's words were inconsistent, there must be someone behind the instigation, if the instructors behind the back were not arrested, Empress Yao would be in danger. So, Empress Dowager Yao spoke out to help persuade her: "Emperor, Doctor Chen does have a problem, as the Empress said, torture is the most beneficial." ”
The emperor did not respond immediately, but asked Chu Zheng: "What does Zheng'er think?" ”
Chu Zheng shook his head slightly, "Under the heavy punishment, there will be grievances." The queen wants to use this way to wash away her troubles, but I'm afraid it won't work. ”
Chu Zheng had something to say, but Queen Yao didn't think much about it, she only thought that all this was Chu Zheng's conspiracy, if she couldn't get out today, then she would really fall into a trap.
"This palace is not as active as the prince, but I only know that if I don't make the matter clear today, it will be easy to change in the future." Empress Yao's chin was slightly raised, and her eyes were full of fierce light.
For decades, her life has not been easy, she has been overwhelmed by Chu Zheng's mother and son, and today she will pry Dr. Chen's mouth open and let the emperor see how scheming Chu Zheng is.
Empress Yao and Chu Zheng were on the bar, and after thinking for a moment, Empress Dowager Yao said: "Emperor, this time even the mourning family has been deceived, if you don't find it out, the mourning family will have no light on their faces." ”
The emperor thought about it, and finally nodded, and motioned for the guards to drag Dr. Chen down.
Even if it was interrogated on the spot, the place where the torture was carried out should not be too far away, just outside the temple, and after a while, there was a wailing sound outside.
Queen Yao pinched a handful of sweat in her palms, this Doctor Chen must have been bought by Chu Zheng, but I don't know how much benefit Chu Zheng gave him, can the pain of the board hitting her body be resisted?
She quietly made a look with her henchmen: the cane is heavier, and she must let him tell the truth!
The palace people understood, quietly withdrew from the main hall, and informed the execution guards. The guard got the order and immediately unceremoniously increased the strength of his men.
Listening to the sharp and miserable wail, Empress Yao's heart calmed down a little.
However, before he could fully settle down, he could only hear the wailing outside.
"What's going on?" Empress Yao blurted out.
After a while, I saw the palace people come in and pay tribute, "People are out of breath." ”
Is this dead?
Empress Yao was dumbfounded......
