Chapter 246

Qi Bingyu waved his hand, signaling He Sheng to let them go down first, not to pollute their eyes, besides, the beginning and end of this matter have not been completely sorted out, Lu Huiling and Lu Gaohong's crimes are far more than these, and they must be clarified today.

At this time, Yin Renzhao and Yin Zhi were tormented in their hearts, and Lu Huiling's heart had been uneasy, she didn't know what to do at this time, all the evidence pointed to herself and her father, she held her palms tightly and knelt silently aside, for fear that the emperor would notice her.

However, how could Liang Huanqing let her go, just when everyone felt a little distressed and stunned for Yin Xu's filial piety, Qin Yuandao and Liang Huanqing exchanged glances, and then Liang Huanqing stepped forward and said: "Father, in Lu Xiang's mansion, not only Prime Minister Lu and Concubine Ming are involved in this matter, Erchen has previously said that Xiaolian, the palace maid who told Erchen and the princess that the culprit is Concubine Ming's mother, has witnessed it with her own eyes..."

Seeing that Liang Huanqing was about to kill his family, Lu Gaohong couldn't hold back anymore, and he shouted: "Liang Huanqing! You are a woman, why are you so ruthless! It's going to be so hard! ”

Lu Gaohong knew that Liang Huanqing was going to talk about his son Lu Chen's killing of the palace maid on duty in the imperial garden, but he and Lu Huiling were already in a catastrophe, and he always wanted to leave a descendant for the Lu family.

But that's the end of the day. Liang Huanqing didn't want to do what he wanted: "So, did Prime Minister Lu Cheng admit what he did before?" ”

If you don't admit it, what can you do, there are all the human and material evidence, and neither he nor Lu Huiling can get away with the crime.

Lu Gaohong lowered his head and refused to speak, but Qi Bingyu was extremely disappointed in Lu Gaohong at this time, and he didn't want to look at him at a glance.

Seeing Lu Gaohong's flickering words, Qi Bingyu felt that there was still a hidden secret, so he simply couldn't continue today's feast, so why not make everything clear.

"Huanqing, you don't need to pay attention to him, tell me everything you know, as it is! I want to see how bold the Lu family is, and how dare they do anything unseemly in my eyes! Qi Bingyu looked at the courtiers in the audience with a sad look and said angrily.

The courtiers didn't dare to raise their heads anymore, they knew in their hearts that the collapse of the Lu family also meant that they would have one accident after another, and today it seemed that the imperial city was bound to set off a bloody storm.

Liang Huanqing got Qi Bingyu's approval, so he naturally continued without any worries: "The palace maid Xiaolian once witnessed Lu Chen, the son of the Lu family, killing the palace maid of the Imperial Garden, that is, Concubine Ming instructed the palace maid to replace Princess Wangshu's arrow box, and Lu Chen killed people. ”

Liang Huanqing was heartbroken when he thought of Xiaolian and the palace maid who died innocently because of this incident, and vowed to make Lu Chen pay the due price.

Lu Gaohong and Lu Huiling are now convicted, but they still want to keep a bloodline for the Lu family, and Lu Chen wants to live well no matter what.

"You're going to spew blood!" As soon as Lu Huiling was in a hurry, he couldn't care about his guilt, and he was about to reprimand Liang Huanqing in front of the emperor, "Lu Chen has been by my side since he entered the palace, how can it be..."

In the end, Lu Huiling had a little bit of a weak heart, Lu Chen had always stayed by his side, but he had done such a thing, how could he swear to make a guarantee for Lu Chen?

"Then according to Concubine Ming's meaning, Prince Lu Chen is really innocent, and the imperial garden will not be without palace maids, right? But if it weren't for that, how could Xiaolian know that this matter was Concubine Ming's masterpiece? You know, when I talked about this matter just now, Concubine Ming also swore that she was innocent. It wasn't until Yin Renzhao and the nobles were recruited that Prime Minister Lu and Concubine Ming were willing to admit their guilt..."Liang Huanqing hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled, so far, why are they still so hard-mouthed?

When Liang Huanqing was dealing with Lu Huiling with sharp teeth, some of the older courtiers among the courtiers inevitably looked at Liang Huanqing with admiration.

Lu Huiling's mind was blank, and even Lu Gaohong didn't have the face to argue anymore, but... The Lu family has become like this, tomorrow morning, there must be a counselor to impeach them, Qi Jingyang also stood aside in disbelief, and did not dare to speak, Rao is so, Qi Jingyang can also know what Lu Gaohong is for, he looked at Liang Huanqing's aggressive appearance, and pushed his uncle's family to a dead end little by little, and recalled the moment when his mother died of illness in front of the bed, and he was as helpless as he was at that time.

Liang Huanqing didn't wait for Lu Huiling to reply to her, then turned to look at the emperor and said, "Father, since this is the case, why don't you ask Prince Lu Chen to come out and clarify in person, so that the ministers and Concubine Ming can see if this is true." ”

After Qi Bingyu got older, he always had a trace of kindness in his heart, after Lu Huiling took the throne before, he killed two palace maids one after another, and then before in Minghuatang, Liang Huanqing's personal maid Jiang Yi crashed into Minghuatang, all of which shows how vicious Lu Huiling's mind is, why he only sees her true face now...

"Biography!" Qi Bingyu gritted his teeth and said.

In the past, the son of the Lu family was already a fool, but it was a small fight before, and it was not a big deal after all, and Lu Chen was still his nephew, Qi Bingyu turned a blind eye for the sake of his deceased wife Lu Fushuang, and Lu Chen was just a childish fight, and any official child would have a trace of unruliness, Qi Bingyu did not take this matter seriously, not to mention that Luo Xun, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army in front of his emperor, was also such a person, but Luo Xun was also reliable.

Qi Bingyu also thought that Lu Chen was the same, but he was not reused, and he once intentionally mentioned in front of Lu Gaohong that it was better to let Lu Chen follow his career, but Lu Gaohong himself rejected him, and said that Lu Chen was too much to use, I thought it was a polite remark, but now it seems that Lu Chen is a straw bag! Until now, I didn't even know that the sky was high and the earth was thick to commit murder in the palace! It's disgusting!

He Sheng hurriedly ran out after getting the order, but Lu Gaohong and Lu Huiling were nervous, Qi Bingyu never said how to deal with the two of them, but then seeing Qi Bingyu's attitude towards Xia Rongxin and Qi Wangshu, Qi Bingyu was forbearing, and wanted to wait until the matter was completely clarified before dealing with it.

Lu Huiling and Lu Gaohong thought that as long as Qi Bingyu still had a trace of attachment to Empress Mingxian, then they would not fall, they were relatives of the emperor and the country, Qi Bingyu turned a blind eye to help fool the past when Qi Jingyang designed to kill Liang Huanqing before, if the emperor still thought of Empress Mingxian, and there was a trace of distress for the prince, he would not have killed them.

But what the two of them didn't know was that the evidence that Liang Lin and Qin Yuandao found didn't want to let them go at all, the Lu family had been powerful for so many years, and they had suppressed many loyal ministers openly and secretly, and this time it was impossible to let them go no matter what!

He Sheng trotted all the way to Minghua Hall, and He Yu was afraid that the master would fall, so he hurriedly followed behind with a lantern, and kept asking, "Master, what is happening now?" ”

He Yu had been waiting at the door, not knowing how dangerous it was in the Qinzheng Palace.

He Sheng looked at his feet cautiously, but his footsteps did not stop for a moment, he was inside, but he was terrified when he heard it, how could this happen today, maybe Lu Gaohong himself would not know, yesterday he was the prime minister who was above 10,000 people, but now he doesn't know his fate.

"You! You still have to learn to be cautious in your words and deeds, there are some things that you shouldn't be curious about, you must not be curious. Although He Sheng was panicked, he still answered He Yu patiently.

If nothing else, He Yu is the next candidate to take over as the supervisor of Ouchi, He Sheng is a good master, and naturally he does his best to teach everything, just like his master carefully taught him back then.

He Yu nodded, and then asked as if he had thought of something: "Then Master, will this year's Chinese New Year's Eve fireworks be released?" The Lingtai is ready, and someone has already been sent to ask. ”

Today's situation is really special, if you want to put it in normal times, the fireworks have already been released, maybe now the people outside the palace are still muttering, why don't you let off this year's fireworks.

He Sheng raised his head and looked at the endless night sky, he sighed, white heat came out of his mouth, he said: "It will be released, it will be released anyway, later, you will go to the Lingtai side later, it may be released at any time, I have to tell Jingzhao Mansion Yin, outside the palace today, no matter what..."

There are too many things today, if there are some more things, He Sheng is afraid that the emperor will not be able to support it, and when he heard Yin Renzhao say those words, He Sheng saw with his own eyes that the emperor's body was trembling all the time, He Sheng was afraid that the emperor would be so angry with them...

Prince Jing hasn't come back yet, the emperor can't have any mistakes....

He Yu nodded, remained silent, and walked towards Minghua Hall with a lantern beside the master.

At this time, Mrs. Lu and Lu Chen were drinking warm tea in the Minghua Hall, and after watching a burst of fireworks, they were still discussing when the palace would release this year's fireworks.

The mother and son sat under the eaves and watched the moon, but when they heard a knock on the door, a eunuch hurriedly went to open the door, only to hear someone ask: "Can Prince Lu Chen be here?" ”

I felt strange when I heard such a question, this is Minghuatang, and I came to find Concubine Ming, how could I come to find Lu Chen.

Mrs. Lu and Lu Chen glanced at each other, then stood up and walked to the door.

"It's Mr. Ho." Mrs. Lu saw the official uniform on He Sheng at a glance, so she said with a smile: "It's so late, is there anything wrong?" ”

Lu Chen stood behind Mrs. Lu and looked at He Sheng with a wary expression.

He Sheng shook off the dust, and now their family of guilty ministers doesn't need to be polite to them: "The emperor sent our family to summon Prince Lu Chen to the Qinzheng Palace for questioning. ”

Mrs. Lu glanced back at Lu Chen, and then asked, "The emperor is looking for Lu Chen, is there anything wrong?" Why did you summon Lu Chen for no reason? ”

He Sheng didn't want to say much to them at this time, so he turned around and said: "The emperor has an order, and our family is not easy to ask, so Lu Gongzi should follow along." ”

Seeing He Sheng say this, they had no choice, so Mrs. Lu accompanied Lu Chen to the Qinzheng Palace.

When he first arrived at the gate of the Qinzheng Palace, he saw Fang Lu and Wei Shen together, Lu Chen felt that something was wrong, so he shouted: "Steward Fang!" ”

Fang Lu listened and looked back at them, but he hid to the side and didn't dare to look at them directly, he had already become a traitor to the Lu family, and now it was difficult to face them again no matter what.

Lu Chen felt strange, and when he was about to step forward to ask, He Sheng urged in front again, there was no way, Lu Chen and Mrs. Lu had to continue to walk forward, and when they reached the door, He Sheng stopped and said to Mrs. Lu: "Madame, please stop, the emperor only summons Prince Lu Chen, and the rest of the people can't enter." ”

Since He Sheng said so, Mrs. Lu had no choice but to let Lu Chen go in alone.

Lu Chen felt that the atmosphere was strange from the beginning, as soon as he entered the Qinzheng Palace, he saw his father and sister kneeling in the center of the hall, but shouldn't he be in the impression that the noble man named Yin Zhi was...

As soon as Lu Chen entered the door, Lu Huiling turned his head to look at him, looking anxious and nervous, and shook his head slightly, Lu Chen could feel that the scene might be unfavorable, but he didn't understand what Lu Huiling was saying.

However, at this time, Lu Gaohong just slowly closed his eyes, as if he couldn't bear to see all this happen.

Lu Chen stepped forward, knelt down uprightly, and said to the emperor: "Lu Chen to meet the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

"Lu Chen." Qi Bingyu glanced at Liang Huanqing and motioned for her to continue what she hadn't finished talking before.

When Lu Chen heard the emperor call his name, he looked up, but he didn't expect Liang Huanqing to stand up and ask, "Where are you from the beginning to the end of the feast today?" ”

Lu Chen looked at Liang Huanqing suspiciously, I don't know why she came to ask herself, and then looked at the emperor, Qi Bingyu frowned and looked displeased, Lu Chen had no choice but to look at Liang Huanqing again, and said, "Naturally, with Concubine Ming." She's my sister. ”

Lu Chen was afraid that they would not believe it, so he added another nonsense.

"Have you ever left halfway through?" Liang Huanqing continued to ask.

"No, I didn't." Lu Chen said directly without thinking about it, he knew what he had done, and others would doubt it, and when asked about this kind of thing, his first reaction was to veto.

Liang Huanqing turned his head to look at Liang Lin and Qin Yuandao, the evidence was what they were looking for, so naturally they knew best.

Liang Xiao looked up at the emperor, the emperor nodded, Liang Lin got up and ran to the door of the Qinzheng Hall and said to Zhao Zhao: "Bring in the corpse you found." ”

Then he gave Wei Shen a look and told him to be optimistic about Fang Lu, after all, Mrs. Lu was at the door at this time, if Lu was rebelled against at this juncture, no one would come to prove that Lu Chen had indeed killed the palace maid.

Mrs. Lu stood at the door, looking at Liang Lian's strange behavior, with some displeasure on her face, but it was difficult to say anything, and now she didn't know what the situation was inside, as if it was not as favorable as she imagined, Mrs. Lu was very worried.

Zhao Zhao nodded, glanced at Deng Xin and Cheng Liang, and the two took out a piece of white cloth from the carriage and lifted the palace maid's face out, Luo Xun frowned and turned sideways to dodge.

When Mrs. Lu saw them like this, she shouted in her heart that something was wrong.

But to no avail, I could only watch as they carried the body inside.

As soon as Zhao Zhao entered the main hall, he saluted the emperor with his fists, and the emperor nodded, indicating that it was commonplace, but he appreciated the ability of Liang Xiao and Qin Yuandao in his heart, and in just a few hours, everything was done.

Seeing this, the courtiers did not speak, but quietly watched what was about to happen.

Deng Xin and Cheng Liang carried the body to Lu Chen's side, and when Lu Huiling and Lu Gaohong saw the corpse, their minds couldn't help but go blank: how did they find this corpse?

Xia Rongxin and Qi Wangshu frowned when they saw them carrying someone in.

Lu Chen looked at everyone with a shocked and puzzled expression, not knowing why they were doing this: "What are you going to do at this time?!" ”

Liang Xiao smiled and nodded to Zhao Zhao, after Zhao Zhao understood, he squatted down and lifted the white cloth on the palace maid's face, and asked Lu Chen, "Does Lu Gongzi remember this palace maid?" ”

Lu Chen glanced down, and then hurriedly looked away: how could he not remember, he killed the people, but how did the corpse fall into their hands?
