Chapter 694: Although there is evidence, there are doubts
Fu Xiaojiu wanted to stop Huo Jing too late, so he had to quickly sort out his language and briefly told the emperor about her two assassinations.
Fu Xiaojiu spoke very objectively, and expounded her objective view of Yun Guifei, and also said that Yun Guifei was generous to her, she was not deceived by Ji Guifei's words, and she was simple-minded to believe that Ji Gonggong was instructed by Yun Guifei.
The emperor listened and analyzed, his reaction was the same as Fu Xiaojiu, thinking that if it was really Yun Guifei who instructed Father-in-law Ji to kill Fu Xiaojiu, how could Father-in-law Ji not only not hide it, but also deliberately emphasize it again and again?
"This matter is not only about the imperial heir, but also about the stability of the harem, and it is obvious that some people want to use this matter to provoke the relationship between the concubines."
After the emperor finished speaking, he looked at Fu Xiaojiu and said with relief: "Fortunately, you were not deceived by Father-in-law Ji, your calmness and calmness are probably not comparable to most men." But the murder of the four black-clothed men outside the palace against you is obviously intended to kill you, and I will definitely investigate to the end and give you justice! ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Fu Xiaojiu said that he was about to kneel down and thank him.
The emperor waved his hand, "You are pregnant, don't kneel around." I will let people investigate this matter immediately, and besides, I will send someone with you to find Wanlin now, even if the capital is turned upside down, Wanlin must be found! ”
Fu Xiaojiu's mother and son were almost killed outside the palace, and the news that she and Huo Jing went into the palace to find a husband soon spread in the palace.
Concubine Yun had already laid down, and as soon as she heard about this, she instantly lost her sleepiness.
"How so? actually chased and killed Fu Xiaojiu outside the palace? Who was going to kill her? ”
At the same time, the queen also heard about it, she didn't care about being grounded, so she immediately ordered someone to dress her, and hurried to see the emperor.
When the emperor saw that the queen was coming, he didn't blame her for violating the will to let her ground, and said calmly: "I was looking for you, you came just in time." ”
The queen wondered that the emperor didn't blame her for leaving the palace without permission during the lockdown, but she vaguely guessed a little reason in her heart, and was just about to admit her mistake to the emperor, "Your Majesty, the concubine should have continued to be grounded, but ......"
Before she could finish speaking, the emperor interrupted her and asked, "Do you know everything?" ”
The queen replied vaguely: "The concubine knows something. ”
The emperor asked again: "Then what do you think of Yun Guifei?" Do you think she framed you, and she wanted Fu Xiaojiu's life? ”
The queen said without hesitation: "To tell you the truth to Your Majesty, the concubine has always thought that Yun Guifei deliberately framed the concubine's bracelet to be problematic, but after Fu Xiaojiu was assassinated, the concubine no longer suspected Yun Guifei." ”
"Oh? Why do you say that? The emperor asked puzzled.
The queen replied calmly: "Because Yun Guifei is not a thief shouting to catch a thief by doing this?" The concubine said something unpleasant, Concubine Yun has always been favored by you for so many years, how can she do it if she doesn't have some brains and means and just relies on her beauty? Yun Guifei's smart majesty must know it in his heart, don't you need to say more about the concubines, right? ”
When the emperor heard the queen's words, his eyes couldn't help but show a trace of appreciation for the queen.
"Aren't you a smart man? Do you know why I didn't think that you were going to harm Yun Guifei's miscarriage? ”
After the emperor finished speaking, he looked at the queen's eyes and showed a touch of playfulness.
The queen first smiled elegantly, and then said: "The concubine guesses that you know the concubine, so you will decide that the concubine will not do that kind of thing." ”
The emperor also smiled, but did not speak.
At this time, a eunuch walked in, "Your Majesty......"
He first glanced at the queen, and then said hesitantly: "Your Majesty, Father-in-law Ji is here, and he said that he wants to expose the queen!" ”
"What?" The emperor and the queen were shocked at the same time.
The queen looked at the emperor with an uneasy expression, and wanted to defend herself, but the emperor reassured her: "Let's listen to what he has to say first." ”
The queen had to hold back first, because she also wanted to hear what the Ji Gong Guild had to say in front of the emperor.
Father-in-law Ji had a little scar on his face, and he looked haggard and frightened.
"Your Majesty, please save the old slave!"
As soon as Gonggong Ji walked in, he suddenly knelt at the emperor's feet, crying with horror on his face.
The emperor gave him a disgusted look, "I heard that you want to expose the queen?" What are you going to expose her? ”
Father-in-law Ji kowtowed deeply and didn't dare to raise his head, but his voice was very high-pitched, "The old slave wants to expose the queen's mother for poisoning Yun Guifei Niangniang, and order the old slave to assassinate Fu Xiaojiu!" ”
The emperor asked puzzledly: "Didn't you keep telling Fu Xiaojiu that Concubine Yun asked you to assassinate Fu Xiaojiu?" Why did you change your words and say that you were instructed by the queen? Why are you so inconsistent? ”
Father-in-law Ji hurriedly explained: "That's what the queen mother asked the old slave to say!" The old slave is really uneasy in conscience, so he came to expose the queen! ”
His slander made the queen unable to calm down, and the queen couldn't help but point at him and scolded: "You talk nonsense! Why are you spewing so bloody? Hongu has never had any dealings with you! ”
Father-in-law Ji didn't refute her, and bowed his head to the ground again, just waiting for the emperor to speak.
The emperor did not get angry when he heard his complaint against the queen as Gonggong Ji imagined, but said to the queen in a calm tone: "Queen, don't be impatient, wait for me to ask him a few words." ”
The emperor asked rhetorically: "You said that you were instructed by the queen, then do you have conclusive evidence to prove that the queen instructed you to do all this?" ”
Father-in-law Ji paused for a moment before he said, "The old slave has such evidence!" Old slave ......"
But Father-in-law Ji said for a long time, but he still didn't come up with evidence immediately.
The emperor was impatient, and roared angrily: "You have great courage! How dare you slander the queen! Come on, drag this dog down and kill it with a cane! ”
"Your Majesty! The old slave has proof! ”
Father-in-law Ji hurriedly shouted.
As soon as she heard that Gonggong Ji still had any evidence, the queen instantly surged into anger again.
"Why do you, a black-hearted minion, slander this palace so much? Who instructed you to be so bold? ”
The queen angrily pointed at her father-in-law Ji and scolded angrily, it was the first time she had lost her temper in front of the emperor.
Father-in-law Ji raised his head and looked at the queen, and said with a wry smile: "Hehe, how can you admit it?" But the old slave, there is really evidence for this. ”
After Ji Gonggong finished speaking, he took out something from his arms.
"Please check it out and see if this is the queen's mother's thing?"
Father-in-law Ji presented the things in his arms to the emperor, and the emperor squinted at it with disdain, but he couldn't help but be surprised.
"This is given to the Queen, why is it here for you?"
The queen also gasped and said in amazement: "This is a Canaan fragrant wood inlaid gold bead blessing bracelet!" I said why is this bracelet missing, and you stole it! How did you steal this bracelet? ”
Father-in-law Ji ignored her and continued to say to the emperor: "Your Majesty, this is the queen's mother's reward for the old slave. He also said that he would give the old slave a hundred taels of gold after the matter was completed, and the old slave did such a wrong thing because he was fascinated by money! The old slave only begs His Majesty to keep the old slave a dog's life, and the old slave doesn't want to die! ”
The emperor looked at him like water, didn't speak for a while, and a trace of doubt quickly flashed in his heart.
The queen did not rush to defend herself after seeing such "conclusive" evidence, but calmly asked: "Even if this palace really said such a thing, why would this palace let you assassinate Fu Xiaojiu?" What does this have to do with her? ”
Father-in-law Ji quickly rolled his eyes and replied, "Because you said that Fu Xiaojiu's medical skills are exquisite, I'm afraid that I will see what is not good for you again!" That's why the old slave went to assassinate her! ”
"Hehe, what a sharp mouth, you can say such a far-fetched reason, this palace underestimates you!"
After the queen sneered, she also knelt down and said to the emperor with a calm face: "Your Majesty, the concubine has a clear conscience, and the concubine is willing to accept any interrogation." ”
The emperor said in a deep voice: "I didn't say I didn't believe you. ”
However, although the emperor said this, his expression did not seem to fully believe the queen.
But the queen still thanked the emperor with gratitude, "Thank you Your Majesty for trusting the concubine!" ”
After the queen finished speaking, she glanced at her father-in-law demonstratively.
Father-in-law Ji didn't expect him to come up with such evidence, the emperor was not angry with the queen, and he could still say that he believed the queen.
Father-in-law Ji hurriedly cried again: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what the old slave said is true!" The queen also said that the child in Yun Guifei's belly threatened her posterior, and if she didn't get rid of her, she would find an opportunity to get rid of Yun Guifei in the future! Moreover, the queen also said that if the prince is disrespectful to her in the future, even the prince will be eliminated! ”
After speaking, Father-in-law Ji shrunk his neck and prostrate on the ground again.
The queen wanted to kill Ji's father-in-law with one sword, but her face only had forbearance, and she didn't want to be in such a hurry to defend herself as she was just now.
The emperor also ignored the accountant's father-in-law, turned to the queen and said, "You go back and rest first, I will investigate this matter clearly." ”
The queen stood up playfully, and immediately walked out of the imperial study.
The queen is still not sure if the emperor can always believe her, because this matter has become a big trouble, and if the emperor wants to settle this matter as soon as possible, it is possible that the queen will be the scapegoat.
After the queen left, Father-in-law Ji wanted to continue to pester the emperor, but the emperor was in no mood to listen to his noise anymore, so he ordered someone to drag him down and detain him temporarily.
When they were all gone, the emperor said to the people, "Go and call Concubine Xian." ”
As soon as the emperor finished his order, someone came to report, "Your Majesty, Concubine Yun asks to see you!" ”
"Why is she here too?" The emperor said with a headache, "Let her in." ”
Yun Guifei was not as calm as the queen, and when she entered, she cried to the emperor with pear blossoms and rain: "Your Majesty, the concubine heard that the dog thing of Father-in-law Ji has come to see you!" The concubine vouched for His Majesty with his life and stomach that it was not the concubine who instructed him to assassinate Fu Xiaojiu! It's not that the concubine deliberately slandered the queen and drugged the concubine! I'm afraid that the concubine has been deceived by the traitor! ”
The emperor saw that she was pregnant, endured her crying, and said to her after a while: "Don't cry anymore, it's not good for the child for you to cry like this." I didn't say I didn't believe you. ”
