Chapter 292: The Grievance of the Great Prince (1)
When the queen was talking to the emperor, Cao Tingyu was also there.
He happened to be about to talk back to the emperor, but at this time, the queen came over, and Cao Tingyue naturally stepped aside and waited for the queen to finish talking first.
The emperor was a little surprised and a little incredulous when he heard what the queen said, "So, you mean that this time the initiator of the second prince's mansion is the eldest prince?" ”
The queen nodded, "Although...... The concubine couldn't believe it would be like this, but ...... This seems to be the case. ”
She glanced at Cao Tingyu, "Since Cao Zhangxing is also here, he should naturally know whether the concubine's words are true, and Your Majesty can also ask him." ”
The emperor really wanted to ask Cao Tingyue, he nodded Cao Tingyue, Cao Tingyue knelt down and replied, this respectful attitude, in the end, it is a person from Dongchang, it is really easy for people to make mistakes.
The Emperor asked him, "I have entrusted this matter to you, and you have come today to return to this matter, so let's talk about it now, what the situation is." ”
Cao Tingyue nodded, "The slave obeys." He thought about it and said, "Actually, it can't be said that it must have been done by the eldest prince now, but as the queen said, all kinds of evidence do point to the eldest prince." The slave and the people from Dongchang entered the mansion of His Royal Highness the Second Prince and carefully checked it, and all the people who suspected it were only these two people, but the people of Dongchang were not good at guarding the Second Prince's Mansion, and they originally wanted to wait for the second day to talk back to His Majesty to see if His Majesty allowed the people from Dongchang to keep an eye on it, but I didn't expect that the people over there were faster, and it was just a night's work, and they killed people. ”
The emperor frowned, "Is it possible to plant a false accusation?" ”
"It's possible." Cao Tingyue took out a picture from his sleeve pocket, and then handed it to Lu Cheng, who came over and spread it out on the emperor's table, "Your Majesty, please see, which mansions are bordered by this Jichun Street, except for those people who are completely impossible to go out after the curfew, there are only two mansions that will not alarm the patrol people." ”
The drawings are clear, and the emperor can see them clearly.
He frowned and nodded on the table, "Uncle Guo's Mansion, and the Great Prince's Mansion." ”
Cao Tingyue nodded, "Just as Your Majesty thinks, and the minions also think so, only these two places are possible to ask the assassin to enter like this and then not be discovered." ”
As soon as the queen heard this, she immediately raised her head, "Your Majesty! How is this uncle's mansion possible! He is the uncle of the second prince! ”
It is impossible to harm people to the Second Prince's Mansion, otherwise wouldn't it be a flood that washed the Dragon King Temple?
The emperor frowned and remained silent.
Cao Tingyue knew what the emperor was thinking.
To outsiders, this does seem impossible.
How could an uncle harm his nephew, but this is a royal family, and it has to be considered from multiple angles.
In particular, it was such a coincidence.
If it was really done by Uncle Guo, and then came out like this to frame the eldest prince, it can be said that the victory is too glorious.
It can be said that it is a big victory, so you say that Uncle Guo has no reason to do this?
The emperor thinks that it is very, after all, if it is really the poison of the eldest prince, why bother to give such a poison that is not light or heavy, it is really a fatal move, and the people in the second prince's mansion are afraid that none of them can run away.
And only if Uncle Guo starts, will he be so careful.
The emperor tapped his hand on the table, "The Empress will go back first." ”
"Your Majesty......"
"I said, the queen will go back first." The emperor's tone became cold, "I have already heard what you want to say, but since this matter involves the uncle's mansion, the queen should avoid suspicion." ”
The queen was shocked, she didn't expect the emperor to jump away from the eldest prince, but she first suspected her uncle of the country.
The queen walked out almost in a daze.
Mama Li was originally waiting outside, but when she saw the queen coming out, she hurriedly supported her, "Niangniang, what's wrong with you?" "Why is your face so ugly?
The queen gritted her teeth, "Let's go, let's go back first." ”
No matter what you think in your heart now, you can't show it to the outside after all.
Mama Li responded, "Yes, yes." ”
And in the imperial study, the emperor was still looking at the drawings, "What do you think?" ”
Cao Ting knew more and more that the emperor asked the queen to leave, just so that he could speak with confidence, but the emperor actually did it many times, because Cao Tingyue did not give much face to the queen, and the words of the queen in front of the queen and behind the queen's back were more or less the same.
"The slave feels that he can't completely strip away the suspicion of Uncle Guo."
"Oh?" The emperor raised his eyebrows and looked at him, but he didn't say yes or no, but just asked, "Do you also think that your uncle will harm your nephew?" ”
Cao Tingyue shook his head, "Sometimes we think it's harmful, but it's not necessarily malicious. It's just that there is one point, and the minion still feels that it is the key to this. ”
"Well, tell me."
"Those two people are indeed the people of the eldest prince, and now it seems that they should be right."
The Emperor nodded, this was indeed certain. But he just didn't expect the eldest prince to be so stupid, and such a big flaw was directly sold in front of people.
"If you want to do all this and make all this seem very reasonable, you have to know from the Second Prince's Mansion early on that these two people are from the Great Prince's Mansion. But......" Cao Ting frowned, "The slave has served in the East Factory for many years, and he has tortured many people in the dungeon for His Majesty and the Governor in the early morning, and it can be regarded as having experience in interrogation, if there is a deliberate concealment, under normal circumstances, it should not be able to escape the eyes of the slave." ”
"But you don't see that?"
"Yes, the slave has never seen such traces from the second prince or the housekeeper in the mansion, even today's queen mother......" he pulled his lips, "Your Majesty mentioned the uncle's mansion, the mother's reaction was - she felt absurd, but she didn't look nervous or afraid. ”
The emperor nodded, and of course he felt it.
But he still didn't understand why the big prince gave such a light and heavy poison.
Cao Tingyue said, "If Your Majesty still doubts Uncle Guo, the slave can go to Uncle Guo's Mansion again, and there must be a difference between doing and not doing, and as long as it is done, there will always be traces exposed on the roots, and this kind of trace must not be hidden." ”
The emperor also believed in Dongchang's investigation methods.
Not only did he not want to believe that this matter was done by the eldest prince, but he also felt that what Cao Tingyue just said made sense, and the queen's reaction was indeed not like knowing.
Unless it's just that, the queen's acting skills are too good.
But the emperor knows that his second son is really not the kind of person who will play tricks and want to harm others.
He has always kept to himself, and even you said that if you want to kill two innocent lives in order to calculate the royal brother, I am afraid that the second prince will really not be able to do it.
But if it was just a plan by the uncle of the country, without the assistance of the second prince, it would definitely not be possible for this matter to be so easy.
The emperor rubbed his eyebrows, and then nodded, "I'll leave this matter to you, and until you get any definite answer, don't make a noise first, so as not to make a bad noise." ”
This is the royal face, the matter of the brother's wall, it is indeed too ugly to say, and it is naturally not unreasonable for the emperor to think about it like this.
But in Cao Tingyu's eyes, he just felt ridiculous.
He lowered his head and didn't move his eyebrows, "Yes, the minion is clear." ”
Cao Ting retreated as he spoke, and he went directly to the direction of Dongchang.
In fact, why did Dongchang come to this point?
It is not necessarily because of how good the people in the East Factory are, indeed, the people in the East Factory are indeed unparalleled.
However, to be recognized by the emperor like this, I have to say that there is a more important reason.
That is, the emperor sometimes does not want a truth, and what Dongchang wants to give the emperor is also the answer that the emperor wants, not the truth.
In the end, is it really possible to completely dump the blame on the eldest prince, or whether the emperor is willing to call the eldest prince to bear all this.
At the moment, it is still unknown.
But at least Cao Tingyue now knew that the emperor was still hesitating.
And the emperor's hesitation is the queen's dissatisfaction and pain.
She walked around the Kunning Palace, and her face turned crimson, but she still didn't say a word.
This is really making Mama Li anxious.
Mama Li said, "Niangniang, what is this, and what is the reason, you can tell me." ”
The queen sat down and slapped the table, "Your Majesty...... I don't think it's the little brute's doing. ”
Now the queen thinks that he must be the eldest prince, so naturally it won't be nice to call him.
Anyway, now there are only two people in the house, the queen and Mama Li, and the queen doesn't care about what she says, "He thinks it's his son, but he never thought that it was our son who suffered!" The second princess still has our grandson in her belly! ”
Mama Li hurriedly said, "Niangniang, don't you dare to say that." ”
"What else to say! You don't know, he'd rather suspect my brother than say that it was the little brute who didn't have a mother to teach. ”
Mama Li glared, "You say, Uncle Guo?" She didn't understand, "This is so decent, how can Your Majesty doubt Uncle Guo!" There's no reason for this, can an uncle still harm his nephew? ”
The queen sneered, "This truth that everyone in the world knows, but our majesty himself can't see it clearly." ”
Mama Li pursed her lips, "Your Majesty means ......"
"Asking the palace to leave first, isn't it just to have a private conversation with the people in Dongchang." The queen slapped the table, "I hate this palace and that Cao Tingyu, I didn't get along with each other in the first place, but I'm afraid that this time, I don't know if he wants to deliberately stumble!" ”
