When Lu Tingsen heard Empress Qu Fengran's direct order, his heart trembled fiercely.

He never expected His Majesty to be so simple.

In the past, Qu Jiuning was so ridiculous, he used the male concubine in the harem strongly, and he was not willing to do it, but now he actually ordered it to be killed!

Lu Tingsen was just about to walk out of the ......

Qu Xiaoyi, the loyal king, took a step forward before him, and said respectfully: "The mother emperor is angry." ”

And the king of Lu on the side has always been at odds with Qu Jiuning, and now when he sees Qu Jiuning falling, he naturally wants to add fuel to the fire.

"What else is there to be angry about!? The official money has been found in her house, the evidence of the crime is conclusive, and the crime deserves death! ”

Hou Wang stood aside, trembling, she didn't know what to say at this time, she only hoped that the empress's anger would not be transferred to her.

"Second sister, our sisters have been brothers and sisters since childhood, how can they say such things at this time?" Qu Xiaoyi disagreed with King Qu Beifu's words, and there was a bit of regret in his words.

Lu Tingsen looked at the princes in front of him, and clenched his hands hidden under his sleeves.

[Is this the hypocrisy of the emperor's family, none of them are good! ] 】

[Your Majesty's attitude towards Qu Jiuning doesn't care so much about blood, the emperor's family is so ruthless and unintentional! ] 】

Hearing this, King Qu Beifu snorted and said: "Since ancient times, the Son of Heaven has committed the same crime as the common people, and now she Qu Jiuning has stolen silver taels for disaster relief, and there are so many people waiting for silver taels and waiting to live, how can it be justified if they are not severely punished!?" ”

Empress Qu Fengran, whose face had just been slightly pale, listened to the words of King Qu Beifu, and her anger suddenly rose to her throat again.

Qu Jiuning, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly said: "Can you listen to Erchen's words." ”

A few people were slightly stunned.

Qu Jiuning knelt on the ground, the blood on his forehead flowing to the ugly scar on his cheek, which was extremely bright and dazzling.

There was no trace of panic on her face, and she was calm and fearless.

Empress Qu Fengran glared at Qu Jiuning below with angry eyes: "What else do you have to say?" ”

She asked without humility or arrogance: "May I ask if in addition to this official silver in the Erchen's mansion, the remaining large amount of disaster relief silver can be in the Erchen's mansion?" ”

After asking this, everyone present was stunned.

Empress Qu Fengran looked at Lu Tingsen below.

Lu Tingsen took a step forward, saluted with both hands, and shook his head.

After Qu Jiuning saw Lu Tingsen shaking his head, he retracted his gaze and continued: "Even if there is no such large amount of disaster relief silver, the evidence is obviously insufficient to treat the crimes of the sons and daughters with only this ingot of silver. ”

"Erchen has always dared to do things, just with this insufficient evidence, Erchen is not convinced, this is also very likely that someone else framed Erchen, Erchen's house has no subordinates, and there are no patrol guards, and others who want to enter Erchen's house are originally very easy, and Erchen was framed!"

Qu Jiuning's words were clear and his attitude was full of sincerity.

The obvious anger on Empress Qu Fengran's face just now gradually subsided.

King Lu sneered, "Who will frame you? It's not enough to be fed. ”

Qu Jiuning's light brown eyes swept over, "For example, the second sister is very likely." ”

Lu Wang Qu Beifu was taken aback, and opened his mouth to scold: "What nonsense are you talking about!?" ”

Qu Jiuning didn't pay attention to her scolding, and continued rationally: "Erchen abolished one of the second sister's legs, and had all kinds of festivals with the second sister in the past, the second sister is very likely to hate Erchen, not only the second sister, but also the son's son has done so many things before, and his flamboyant temperament has also provoked many people, so naturally some people hate Erchen." ”

Lu Tingsen stood straight, but he was thinking in his heart.

[She also knows how hated she is! 】

When Lu Tingsen raised his eyes, he suddenly met Qu Jiuning's gaze, Lu Tingsen's heart froze, but soon Qu Jiuning looked away, as if he had just swept it casually.

But Lu Tingsen felt a special blockage in his heart.

always felt that Qu Jiuning seemed to see through something, but she didn't say it.

made Lu Tingsen feel that a fist had hit the cotton, not up or down, and it didn't hurt or itch.

Hearing Qu Jiuning's splashing of muddy water, he immediately knelt on the ground, and hurriedly said: "Mother Emperor, Erchen has not done these things, Erchen has been safe and secure in recent years, Mother Emperor, you are obvious to all." ”

At this time, Empress Qu Fengran gradually turned into calm with the last bit of anger, and was silent for a long time without speaking.

Qu Xiaoyi, the loyal king, only then did he speak up: "Mother Emperor, the sons also think that the third sister is reasonable, what do you think of the fourth sister?" ”

King Hou, who was suddenly nominated, was startled, his shoulders shook, and after looking at Empress Qu Fengran's face, he said with sincere fear: "Erchen also thinks that what the eldest sister said is very true, and the third sister may really be framed." ”

With that, the atmosphere fell silent for a while.

After a long time, Empress Qu Fengran spoke: "There may really be loopholes in this matter, and I will ask people to withdraw the investigation of this matter, but during this period, King Jing will stay in Kyoto and cooperate with the investigation." ”

"Yes, my son obeys."

Hearing this will, Lu Tingsen was stunned.

He obviously hated Qu Jiuning......

But at that moment, he didn't want her to die.

Yes, he didn't want her to die so easily.

What he wants to do is cut off her retreat, trap her, and make her pay back what she owes him! Let her taste remorse!

All were dismissed.

Empress Qu Fengran held her temples in her hands, leaning on the dragon chair and looking very tired, Qu Xiaoyi, the loyal king, originally wanted to continue to review the folds, but was also called back by Empress Qu Fengran.

"You can rest today."

Qu Xiaoyi, the king of loyalty, had no choice but to bow his hand and said, "Yes." ”

Empress Qu Fengran rubbed her aching temples, sighed in the empty hall, and after a while, the chief manager changed a pot of hot tea and walked in, "Your Majesty, take a sip of hot tea." ”

Qu Fengran opened his eyes slightly and sat up.

"Your Majesty, is it a headache again, Imperial Doctor Xuan will take a look."

Empress Qu Fengran raised her hand, "No need, this is all a long-term illness, and the main thing is that it is still being troubled." ”

The chief manager held back for a long time, but still spit out faintly: "Your Majesty, you are the Ninety-Five, no one in this world is as big as you, everything is for you first, if anyone makes you angry, she will be punished." ”

Qu Fengran was stunned, and Jun Er smiled bitterly: "How can things in the world be so easy. ”

Although Qu Fengran was afraid of Qu Jiuning, it was absolutely impossible to really kill Qu Jiuning.

Qu Fengran also needs to rely on Qu Jiuning to defend the border pass.

Before, Qu Fengran once thought that Qu Jiuning might have the idea of rebellion, but looking at Qu Jiuning's attitude of not being humble or arrogant, speaking for herself, she felt even more guilty about her in her heart.

Qu Fengran now even believes that it is really possible that Qu Jiuning was framed.
