Chapter 261: The So-Called Truth
"Then you said that you spent the night at Lord Qingjun's place, isn't there no one to prove it?" Han Yuan didn't have any expression on his face, but his tone was a little hurried.
One has to admit that he is really very different from this son.
"Yes!" Regardless of the other people's reactions, Han Lingyan said lightly.
"Who?"
But this one word touched everyone's hearts.
Han Lingxiang originally looked at him and thought that the matter had settled, and he was proud in his heart, but when he suddenly heard him say this, a pair of eyes immediately swept over vigilantly.
"Luo Wang Mengqing."
It's him again!
This is the first reaction in the hearts of everyone present, why are recent events always linked to this idle prince who has never been involved in political affairs before?
"What's going on?" Han Yuan didn't understand either.
"Because at that time, Erchen was not the only one who spent a night in the Sigui Pavilion of the Qingjun Lord, and King Luo was also there."
Han Lingyan's answer was unhurried, and the tone of the narrative made people feel that he was indeed stating a fact.
"Why is he here?" Han Lingxiang didn't want to argue.
"The fourth brother is not Uncle Wang, how can you be so sure that he is not here?"
Han Lingxiang's fluttering words made Han Lingxiang dumb for a while.
"That day is the death day of that kid, and after that day, Lord Qingjun is a free body, yes, Erchen and King Luo have gone to Sigui Pavilion."
"Ahh When these words were spoken, some people suddenly let out an exclamation among the civil and military officials.
How can you not be amazed that this Qingjun Lord has such a charm, which makes King Luo and King Hao love it at the same time.
As soon as he learned that her filial piety was about to expire, he went to her house at the same time.
Duanmu Qing and Princess Ling looked at each other, what is Han Lingxi going to do?!
ruined her reputation like that before, but now she is lifted to the clouds!
"King Xuanluo is here!" Han Yuan was also unambiguous and ordered directly.
Meng Qing was crowned king a long time ago, and he was asked to enter the court as an official early in the morning, but he always shirked his leisure and wild interests and was unwilling to enter the court.
Therefore, even now, he is not in this Fengtian Temple.
This was the emperor's urgent order, and it didn't take long for Meng Qing to come in a hurry, still in plain clothes, but there was no hurry on his face.
"Brother of the courtiers, see the royal brother."
Along the way, he had already heard what the servant who brought him in, and it must have been what Han Yuan meant.
Thinking of this, he raised his eyes and looked at Duanmu Qing, only to see that she still had a pair of red eyes, and she looked so untouchable.
But deep in the eyes, there is no wave, and it is clearly a good show.
Looking at Han Lingxi again, he looks like an old god is there, and today's events have obviously set up a game for him!
"Meng Qing, Jun Hao said that on the night of the Four Princes' Mansion, you and he were both in the Sigui Pavilion of the Qingjun Lord, but is there such a thing?"
Meng Qing sighed in his heart, but there was an embarrassed look on his face: "Indeed...... Be! ”
"When did you meet at that time? And when did you leave? ”
Meng Qing thought about it, then looked at Duanmu Qing again, as if he was hesitating what to say.
But seeing that Duanmu Qing didn't pay attention to his meaning at all, he stubbornly said: "The younger brother watched Lord Qingjun leave that day, and then he waited for her to come back in Sigui Pavilion, who knew that he didn't wait for her, but waited for King Hao." ”
That is to say, he was in Sigui Pavilion from the beginning.
"When did you go? When did King Hao go, what were you doing, and how long did you stay? ”
Meng Qing became more and more embarrassed, a little nervous, seeing that everyone was looking at him, and there was no way to escape, so he told the matter one by one.
From his words, Han Lingyan arrived at the Ling Wang's Mansion one step later than him, and then didn't leave until dawn.
All of a sudden, Han Lingyan got rid of suspicion.
Han Lingxiang was panicked: "Uncle Wang, you have to think about this matter clearly, don't help anyone to lie." ”
Meng Qing glanced at him lightly, then turned his gaze to Han Yuan, and without saying a word, his momentum had already emanated.
Han Yuan nodded: "Since this is the case, the assassin's words cannot be trusted, and the matter of that night has to be carefully investigated." ”
As he spoke, Han Yuan's gaze swept over Han Lingxiang's face, and he didn't show any expression, but it was enough to make people's hearts tremble.
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother asks to see you!"
Today's events are really lively, not only the princess Ling, who has always been so pure, came, but also the king of Luo, who was in love with the landscape, and even the queen who lived in the harem also came.
The emperor raised his eyes and looked at the door, and said lightly: "Xuan!" ”
The queen was dressed in a palace costume and came with a few maids.
Under her movement, the ring on her body didn't make a sound, and she was really a dignified mother of the country.
"The concubine knocks to see Your Majesty."
"The queen is exempt."
Duanmu Qing found that the atmosphere between Han Yuan and Empress Zhou Yu seemed to be a little strange.
Not close, harmonious but not intimate, polite but not distant.
"It's early court time at this time, why is the queen coming?"
"Your Majesty and your lords should not have come to disturb the time to discuss state affairs, but when the concubines heard that Your Majesty announced the audience of the Lord of Qingjun, they knew that it must be because of the assassin case in the Four Princes' Mansion."
The queen had a faint dignified smile on her face, like a delicate mask, and there was actually a bit of a smell of knives and guns.
Duanmu Qingcai suddenly remembered that since she first saw the queen, her face had always had this expression, as if it had never changed.
"It's really this thing, so why did the queen come over this time?"
Han Yuan asked with a slight nod.
"This matter has a lot to do with it, and the concubine should not interfere, but this involves the vision in the harem of the Mother of Cining, and the concubine is discovering something here, so come to tell you."
"Discovery?" Han Yuan suddenly frowned, "What a discovery." ”
That night, Concubine Zhen's sister said that she dreamed that the queen mother was crying to her, which caused Her Majesty to go to the Cining Palace, and happened to encounter that scene.
The concubine thought about it and felt that this matter was too suspenseful, so she asked people to secretly investigate.
Only then did I know that it was the palace maid who was guarding the spiritual table who deliberately spread the wax oil under the white cloth of the spiritual table, and His Majesty took Concubine Zhen's sister to burn paper for the queen mother, and the temperature rose, causing the wax oil to turn into liquid, and it looked like blood suddenly appeared. ”
"What?!" Han Yuan obviously didn't expect such a thing, and he was shocked.
Compared to his shock, the queen was really calm and a little terrifying: "After Your Majesty witnessed the vision, she changed into a real blood-stained white cloth, and it was foolproof."
It is not difficult to verify this matter, Your Majesty can still go to Cining Hall now, there are still some traces on the surface of the spiritual table because of the melted wax. ”
"That'...... This is...... Concubine Zhen! Han Lingxiang reacted first, and hurriedly pretended to be shocked.
Han Lingyan's eyes narrowed slightly, but he didn't show any sound.
Duanmu Qing sighed softly in his heart, Han Lingxi's plan to do so was a failure.
They are just losing a concubine.
Since Concubine Xiao dared to use her, she naturally had a way to hold her hostage.
I only pity the harem woman, who has been a substitute for others for nothing.
It's just that I can't figure it out, why did the queen help Xiao Guifei and her party?
It stands to reason that Concubine Xiao Guifei is the only woman in the harem who can compete with her, if Han Lingxiang falls, won't there be only one big trouble in her heart?
Why did she still have to help her opponent this time?
"What a guts!" Han Yuan said angrily, "Come on, Concubine Xuanzhen will go to the palace!" ”
"Your Majesty!" The queen called him lightly, "Concubine Zhen knows that she is guilty of a lot of sin, and she has already broken it off on her own, this is her self-guilty letter and the confession that the concubine got from those related people." ”
As he spoke, he took the two pamphlets from the hands of the palace maid on the side, handed them respectfully, and the little chamberlain beside Han Yuan took them and presented them.
Duanmu Qing keenly noticed the anger that flashed in Han Yuan's eyes.
Come to think of it, in this matter, the queen handled it too cleanly, such a big matter was taken by her so lightly, and he is the king of a country.
The self-incrimination book was indeed written by Concubine Zhen, and the handwriting was only written by her, so Han Yuan naturally recognized it.
The self-incrimination book not only clearly wrote how she created the vision of Cining Palace, but also explained that those assassins were bought by her with a lot of money, in order to avenge Concubine Xiao Guifei for causing her miscarriage back then.
As for the assassin's insistence that Han Ling was responsible, it was also instructed by her, in order to avoid her own possibility.
Looking at Han Yuan's gloomy and iron-like face, the queen's expression remained unchanged, and she said lightly: "The palace maids in the Cining Palace and Concubine Zhen's Palace are still there, do you want Your Majesty to interrogate them personally?" ”
Han Yuan glanced at her twice, and after a long while, he said, "No need, the queen has always been capable, and this case has been tried clearly, thinking about it, the matter is already clear." ”
Han Yuan's words may not be without irony, in front of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs, Duanmu Qing looked at the queen, but saw that there was no discoloration on her face, and she still had a faint smile.
"Now that this case has been investigated, it is known that it has nothing to do with King Hao and the Four Kings, both of whom are victims, especially King Hao, who suffered this injustice in vain."
Han Yuan paused as he spoke, as if thinking of something, and then said: "But he has always remained calm and fearless in this case, and I am very pleased to have this character. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar, if this case is judged by the queen's words, the biggest victim should be Han Lingxiang.
After all, the assassin broke into the Four Kings' Mansion instead of the Hao Palace, but he rewarded Han Lingxi.
"Father!" Han Lingxiang was naturally dissatisfied with such a decision, and immediately exclaimed.
"Huh?!" Han Yuan heard his voice, and his lightning-like gaze suddenly shot over.
Han Lingxiang's grievances were frightened at this moment, and there seemed to be a taste of insight into everything in the depths of his eyes.
Could it be that my father knew that he had done the whole thing himself?
When Han Lingxiang thought of this, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and he didn't dare to say a word more.
"Okay, that's all for this matter, besides, Meng Qing, what are you going to do? Or do you want to go? ”638
