Chapter 272: Witch Gu (II)
The dynasty attaches great importance to rules and providence, so the emperor is naturally furious, that is, he ordered that all palaces and places should be carefully checked. Something happened to the crown princess of Qingning Palace in the East Palace, so it was natural to start investigating from Qingning Palace, and after searching everywhere like this, who would have thought that a small puppet with the birth date of the crown princess was found in the palace of the newly promoted Shibian Concubine.
This is to sit back and watch the scourge of witchcraft.
No wonder the crown princess has been cautious but almost slipped the tire, who would have thought that it was really related to the curse and framing of people.
The witch curse is a big taboo in all dynasties, and it is enough to sentence the big crime of stealing the family and destroying the clan. Even though Concubine Hua vigorously denied that it was her own curse, and repeatedly said that she did not know why this puppet existed in her palace. It's just that since the puppet already exists, it can't tolerate Concubine Hua to shirk it.
And there were also maids serving in Concubine Hua's palace to expose it, saying that this puppet was put in by Concubine Hua, and after Concubine Hua questioned and denied it, the palace maid was killed by a head, and said firmly: "Death is clear."
In this way, it can be regarded as "dirty and obtained", and Concubine Hua just can't explain it. What's more, there are good deeds in front of the emperor and empress: "At the beginning, the Zhongguo family thought of sending their daughter to the East Palace as the crown princess. It's just that the crown princess is really virtuous and virtuous, and there is nothing wrong with it, and the daughter of such a loyal prince has missed the position of the crown princess. After Concubine Hua entered the palace, the crown princess became pregnant, and her status was more stable. But if the crown princess has a miscarriage, wouldn't it be the most advantageous for Concubine Hua? Now that people are dirty, everything is falling into place! ”
"Yes! Your Majesty, now it seems that everything was instructed by Concubine Hua. Please also ask Your Majesty to thoroughly investigate Concubine Hua and make decisions for the crown princess! ”
"Not only to investigate Concubine Hua, but also to investigate Concubine Hua's mother's Zhongguo Mansion."
"The Zhongguo Mansion wanted to make his daughter the crown princess from the beginning, and to put it bluntly, he still coveted the position of the future queen. Now it seems that the wolf ambition of Zhongguo Gong at the beginning is already very obvious. Please also ask Your Majesty to thoroughly investigate the Loyal Prince's Mansion and not let the traitors succeed! ”
"Please Your Majesty thoroughly investigate the Zhongguo Mansion and don't let the villain succeed."
Seeing that the emperor did not show any bad stance on the impeachment of the loyal prince, they also had a weighing stone in their hearts and knew where the general direction of the court was.
As a result, the recital of the impeachment of Zhongguo Gong by the DPRK and China flew over like snowflakes, or pointed out that Concubine Shi had bad intentions; Or that Concubine Shi is just a woman, no matter how much courage she is given, she can't do such a thing herself; Or maybe Concubine Shi did not do this because of the influence of her family.
What's more, it is directly said that the loyal Guogong Shi Heng formed a party in the DPRK and the central government to exclude dissidents, but in fact, everything was the mastermind of the Zhongguo Gong.
The emperor was furious, and hundreds of officials were on the book, and the loyal prince was considered to have completely provoked the anger of the public. Emperor Li Jing finally issued an order to investigate the matter thoroughly after the courtiers had written to him for a long time. Concubine Hua was jealous and used witch Gu to commit a taboo. Reduced to a concubine, given death.
The daughter of the Loyal Nation is not good, and she ordered a thorough investigation of her home.
So the ministers also followed the emperor's wishes and began to work together to "find" the evidence of the crime of the loyal prince.
It has always been true that if a person wants to fall, he can dig into the ground without criminal evidence. What's more, the hands of the loyal prince can't be considered very clean.
"Making something out of nothing, and having something is even more, this is the power of these courtiers." Ying Shu said lightly, and she was sure that Zhong Guogong would not be able to escape this time.
"yes. In the past two days, there have been as many recitals to impeach Zhongguo Gong as snowflakes, and His Majesty was already suspicious, in fact, from the moment Zhong Guogong first intended to send his daughter to the East Palace, it was doomed that the Shi family would not die well. ”
"That's what he asked for, Zhongguo Gong is smart, but he was too excited for a while, and forgot the taboo in His Majesty's heart." Ying Shu said coldly, she didn't feel that Zhongguo Gong was pitiful, and now that she has fallen into such a world, she can only say that Zhong Guogong deserves it.
"yes." Shen Bin's starry eyes seemed to be contemplative, and his face was a little more resolute, "From the moment he delusionally inserted his hand into the East Palace, he should have thought about what the consequences would be." ”
"It's a pity, people are always adventurous." Ying Shu sighed, and then pondered in her heart, realizing that she was now more and more like a philosopher. In these days in ancient times, through the big and small things in Pingjing City, I saw the different lives of different people, glimpsed different stories, and all kinds of things, which made me feel a lot of emotion. I learned a lot. 877 Good Books Network
"It's the second day of March, and this won't drag on until April." Ying Shu counted the days, "Fifteen is an auspicious day. Your Majesty won't kill anyone, but if you stay until after fifteen, it will be a little longer. Inevitably, there are many dreams at night, and it is estimated that before fifteen, there will be a break.
Shen Bin nodded: "That's really the case." I vaguely remember that the day after tomorrow will be Concubine Hua...... Oh no, the day when the Shishu people died. Aren't you going to go into the palace to accompany the crown princess? ”
"Ruotong has already been summoned, she said she wants to give Shishu people a ride." Ying Shu sneered, feeling a little sad in her heart, "It's okay for others, I'm worried about Liyun." After the incident, I went back to my parents' house, but gradually I only said that Lijun was a little unwell, and I refused to say anything about it. I left a letter again and wanted to ask Lijun to come and sit, but Lijun kept saying that she was keeping her body. I asked my grandmother and eldest lady again, but they all said that no one was seen in Lijun now. Lijun has always been so strong, but now that something like this has happened, she feels uncomfortable, but she refuses to say it to outsiders. Alas......"
"But if Lijun comes out to beg you, won't you be in a dilemma?"
"No, it won't." Ying Shu shook her head: "Radisson won't beg me." She knew it better than anyone else. I just wanted her to come over and talk to me. In this way, she can talk again, and she feels better. ”
Shen Bin hugged Ying Shu and gently stroked Ying Shu's broken hair on the sideburns, "You are worried about her, I know." ”
On the second day, Liyun, who Yingshu had been worried about, came over unexpectedly. As Ying Shu expected, Radisson did not cry and pray to herself like an ordinary woman from a family, but was very calm and composed.
It's calm, even a little scary.
"Actually, I knew it was going to be like this. After his father was reinstated from the throne of the emperor, he relied on himself to be a hero and unscrupulous. I can't persuade me. I know that my father is blinded by power. But it's useless for me to say anything as a woman. Men revolve around power all day long, and there is nothing to say about the king's success. Moreover, my father's hands are not clean, and now he is being investigated and punished, which is expected. It's okay like this, but I don't have to be scared all day long, I can't even sleep at night, thinking about when my Shi family's retribution will come, and now that the retribution is coming, I can finally sleep well. Lijun said with a smile, and then raised her head slightly to look at the carved beams and paintings of the Guogong Mansion, after all, she was as strong as her, and tears still flowed from the corners of her eyes.
"Alright, I'm leaving." Lijun is not a crying person, and after saying these things to Yingshu, she felt hypocritical and got up and wanted to leave. Yingshu understood Lijun's temperament, even if she couldn't keep it, she sent Lijun out with a smile.
Lijun looked indifferent, but Yingshu knew that according to Lijun's temperament, this matter would not end easily. It was just Lijun who said that she saw it, and it was the beginning of terrible things.
Sure enough, when Lijun returned home, she said to Wang gradually that she wanted to reconcile, and Wang gradually refused, but Lijun repeatedly insisted on teaching Wang gradually not to be distressed, and in a hurry, it was inevitable that she would speak more impulsively, and the gang would inevitably quarrel.
Lijun is a bad-tempered person, so she directly caused trouble to Wang Ying and Liu, and even Mrs. Wang was alarmed. In this way, Ying Shu had to go back to her parents' house to see the situation.
When Yingshu hurriedly returned to Wang's house, the Wang family was talking about the reconciliation between Lijun and Wang, and Lijun and Wang were kneeling on the ground at that time; Mrs. Wang and Wang Ying were sitting high on the top, Mrs. Wang was full of sadness, one hand was leaning on the small table on the side, and her head was tilted and leaning on her hand. Wang Ying sat upright, looking at Mrs. Wang from time to time, as if her backbone had lost her big deal.
Liu's expression on the side was a little complicated, but he couldn't see the obvious joy and sorrow.
"Second daughter-in-law, are you determined to break up?" Old Lady Wang rubbed her temple with one hand and asked with a frown.
"Yes, now that the daughter-in-law's mother's family has suffered such a thing, it is naturally not good to affect the Wang family. If my father is convicted, the Wang family will be disgraced for marrying me, the daughter of a criminal minister. But if the father is separated before the crime is convicted, the Wang family will not be implicated. ”
Liyun's face was very firm: "Daughter-in-law only has these words. That's what it means. ”
"How many times have you said it, I don't care about that, why don't you listen? We are husband and wife, so we naturally have to bear it together, and I said so when I married you. Wang gradually became anxious, and shouted like this.
"You can afford it, but the entire Wang family can't afford it. I can't affect you, let alone the entire Wang family. My grandmother, father, and mother treated me like my own daughter. The more I get to this time, the more I can't help but think about the kindness of the past! ”
In fact, the young couple has said many similar things before. But this time it was in front of Mrs. Wang, so it was inevitable to say it again.
"Sister Yun, you married into our Wang family, I really treat you as my daughter. Since we have a daughter, where is there an accident with our daughter, and the reason why we have a family to push our daughters away? As she spoke, tears flowed from the corners of her eyes: "Child, my Wang family is not like that!" ”
