Chapter 269: Speak Up

The sixth prince, Qin Xun, withstood the two resentful gazes of his crown prince and nephew, and moved two steps forward to the painting screen.

The voice he roared out just now, "The son has something to say to his mother", was no smaller than the voice of the fifth prince, but he was obviously much calmer than the fifth prince, and he was not impatient to respond to Qin Yu's gaze at all, and he was bigger and smaller than him.

Through the picture screen, he could see that the two queen mothers and the queen had knelt down in front of the throne, among which the person kneeling on one side and almost prostrate on the ground must be the palace man Lu Xian, he squinted the corners of his eyes slightly, even if he knew that his gaze could not penetrate the picture screen to increase the pressure, but because of listening to Lu Xian's evidence of shortness of breath, the six princes felt that they might not be able to deter her.

"Palace man Luxian, dare to ask if you are familiar with Miss Dong?"

Even the spring return felt that this problem was quite unexpected.

Lu Xian was already nervous at this time, and she couldn't judge the purpose of the sixth prince's question, so she only answered the truth: "Several palace banquets, the slave maid has met with Miss Dong many times because of Zhaoyi's entourage. ”

"But I listened to Miss Dong's confession just now, and I can't even tell your name and surname, so I shouldn't know each other."

"As a palace maid, naturally I don't dare to interject at will, the slave maid used to talk to Miss Dong very little, and it is reasonable for Miss Dong not to know the name and surname of the slave maid."

"That's weird." The sixth prince hugged the queen and said, "Please think about it, if Miss Dong really plans to do such a funeral on the birthday of the imperial grandmother, why would she let a palace person who has little conversation and an unknown surname pass on the word of mouth?" Where did Miss Dong get her confidence to coerce and lure the palace people to obey her? ”

"Maybe Dong didn't think it through when he acted." Empress Shen subconsciously defended her grandson, and replaced the former Miss Dong with the title of Dong, which shows that she is "unswerving".

Chungui frowned, feeling that Empress Shen hadn't been able to see the situation clearly until this time...... Stupid and ignorant!

insisted on convicting, but Mrs. Yi's mother and daughter would rather die than give in, with the intervention of the Queen Mother, Empress Shen's decree to give death could not be issued at all, not to mention that there were five or six princes to corroborate Miss Dong, this matter has risen to the level of snatching the prince and plotting rebellion, how can it be possible to judge only the queen without the ruling of the Son of Heaven? The queen is still obsessed, is this to tie herself to the grasshopper rope of the Song State Mansion?

The six princes also frowned at the end of the painting screen, feeling that the queen's brain was probably squeezed by the door of the Song State Mansion.

He controlled his emotions for a while, and then asked Lu Xian: "How do you know that there are no palace people and eunuchs guarding the Xuan Pei Garden and Yun Xiangtai today except for the north gate?" ”

"Yes...... The slave maid heard Miss Dong mention it. ”

"This is a lie as soon as I hear this, I heard Miss Dong's confession earlier, and I didn't even know that this place was called Furong Pavilion, and I was called by the Water Pavilion, which was simply unfamiliar with the terrain, and I was afraid that even the names of the two places of Xuan Pei Garden and Ruxiangtai were mentioned by you, how did Miss Dong know that there was no one to watch here and it was suitable for private meetings?"

"Slave maid, slave maid misremembered, slave maid heard Zhaoyi mention it."

"Xie Zhaoyi did not assist the queen mother in organizing her birthday, and she was not familiar with the personnel arrangement of the banquet hall at all." The Six Princes asserted.

Lu Xian was even more flustered, but she could only insist: "The slave maid really heard Zhaoyi mention it." ”

The queen opened her mouth to speak, but Chun Gui finally couldn't help it, and interrupted: "Niangniang, the concubine body listened to the testimony of the palace man Luxian, and she also felt that there was something suspicious, and I hope that the concubine will allow the concubine to ask questions." ”

The six princes quickly raised their eyes and swept them across the screen.

With just his voice, he was able to determine who was obstructing Empress Shen's mistakes again and again, and there was no need for this glance, but at this time, an indescribable meaning rose in the hearts of the six princes, and he insisted on finding a footnote to this meaning...... Astound! Shocked for some reason, but déjà vu, as if he had experienced this situation.

And inside the screen, Tao Fanglin, who had been silent, also quickly glanced at the spring return.

Is that so? So that's how it was! That's why the two intersected? It's no wonder that no matter how much the Gu family was favored in that life, Dong Mingzhu treated her without a trace of jealousy, and the two of them insisted on composing a good story of harmony between wives and concubines, but in this life, the Gu family has married another woman, no matter whether she clears the stigma for Dong Mingzhu or not, she will never have any intersection with His Royal Highness again.

At most, Dong Mingzhu is still good friends with her.

Tao Fanglin didn't know what kind of mood she was in at this time, she hoped that Dong Mingzhu would be given the death penalty, so that maybe there would be a better opportunity for her, but she clearly understood that all this was delusional, she looked at the faint figure of the man on the screen, she knew that if he wanted to climb to the pinnacle of power step by step, the Jin State Mansion was the help he had to fight for.

The Tao family is too weak.

On the road in front of her, there is only one way to temporarily subjugate to others, and she has no foundation to ascend to the sky in one step.

You can't do anything, you can't cause any changes, you can't damage Your Highness's plan, but shouldn't you take precautions and learn from the Gu family to defend Dong Mingzhu?

Tao Fanglin glanced at Empress Dowager Zhang again and pursed her lips tightly.

No, the Queen Mother's path is impassable, and the Queen Mother can't completely decide on Her Royal Highness's marriage, only the Empress Dowager Zhang, can only achieve her wish with the help of the Empress Dowager Zhang, but now the Empress Dowager Zhang is full of disgust for Dong Mingzhu, if she defends Dong Mingzhu, it will definitely lead to the dissatisfaction and disgust of the Empress Dowager Zhang, and this only way cannot be blocked.

Tao Fanglin let go of his fingers a little and decided to continue to stand by and watch.

Empress Shen is very angry!

She stared at Chun Gui with some annoyance, but saw that this orphan girl was glared at by her generously, which was a very resolute gesture!

The second sister is unreliable, and the younger sister is blind! I really don't know where my little sister found such an arrogant, ignorant and showy woman?! He actually sent someone to deliver the letter to the palace from Fenzhou, praising the Gu family, saying that this orphan girl was extremely smart and reasonable, and obeyed her words? I also expect the Gu family to share the worries of the grandson, looking at today's situation, but I just hope that she will not add to the chaos.

"Queen?" The Queen Mother glanced to the left.

Empress Shen could only take a deep breath and looked at Lu Xian coldly: "You answer truthfully." ”

Chungui stood and asked, "Who did Miss Dong ask you to pass the message to, and what is the content?" ”

Lu Xian didn't dare to hesitate, so she had to answer as instructed: "Miss Dong asked the slave maid to pass the word to Gao Gongzi and said that it was ...... said that he invited Gao Gongzi to Furong Pavilion to talk. ”

Empress Shen's face completely changed.

Everyone present had heard it before, whether it was the Taisun or Gao Peng's confession, they all insisted that the person Dong Mingzhu met was His Royal Highness the Taisun, because Dong Mingzhu wanted to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix, and took advantage of the opportunity of the Queen Mother's birthday today to confess his affection to the Taisun and achieve the intention of the future mother's family, but the key witness, Lu Xian, who was in charge of the message, said that Dong Mingzhu made an appointment with Gao Gongzi and the rest of the people

The evidence does not correspond at all, and the lie is completely debunked this time.

Chungui no longer pressed Lu Xian, and said to the queen: "Niangniang, combined with everyone's testimony, especially the questioning of His Royal Highness the Sixth, according to the concubine's inference, Song Guogong and the crown princess were the initiators of the accident in today's Xuan Pei Garden, and the intention was to frame Miss Dong to force the Jin State Mansion to compromise, and in desperation, he agreed to marry, so that Song Guogong is expected to protect himself. ”

"Where did the slut come from, she dared to defile her mother!" His Royal Highness the Grand Sun was furious: "Imperial grandmother, Lu Xian's false testimony may be the instruction of Xie Zhaoyi and Yi's mother and daughter, these chaotic ministers and thieves intend to put their mother and maternal grandfather to death, so that they can collude with the five emperor uncles and six emperor uncles to commit the crime of seizing the prince and plotting rebellion, the imperial grandmother must not believe this rebellious minister and thief's slander!" ”

"Niangniang, the hedge behind the pavilion, there should be trampling footprints on the mud frame, please send someone to inspect it immediately, if it can be confirmed that the footprints are consistent with His Royal Highness Taisun and Gao Gongzi, it can support the inference of the concubine's body, Niangniang thought about it, if it was not for His Royal Highness and Gao Gongzi's intention to sneak attack and destroy Miss Dong's innocence, but to be invited to see, why not take the diameter and take the remote road? It was precisely because His Royal Highness and Gao Gongzi were worried that it would be unfavorable to alarm Miss Dong that they intended to take advantage of her unpreparedness to control Miss Dong first. ”

When the Queen Mother heard this, she immediately ordered, without waiting for Empress Shen's signal: "Jinhua go and see!" Xiao Gu, you continued. ”

"Because the intention of the Song State Mansion is to promote the marriage between his family and the Jin State Mansion, not to make Miss Dong the princess, so the conclusive intention is of course that Miss Dong and Gao Gongzi have a private agreement for life, and the palace people around Niangniang are the 'witnesses' arranged by them, and the palace people Lu Xian is naturally an important witness, so Lu Xian was instructed to be coerced by Miss Dong and sent a message to Gao Gongzi to invite him to meet in private, but the north gate of the Xuan Pei Garden was guarded by the ministers, and Gao Gongzi could not break into the ban, so he had to ask His Royal Highness the Taisun to help.

If everything goes well, when Zhenzhen saw that Gao Gongzi was doing something immoral with Miss Dong, and reported it to Niangniang, His Royal Highness Taisun's confession should only help Gao Gongzi break into the ban, and he did not approach the place of private meeting, because Miss Dong and Gao Gongzi were in love, but Jin Guogong and Mrs. Yi were greedy for power and beat mandarin ducks, His Royal Highness Taisun was very sympathetic to Gao Gongzi and could not finally become a family with Miss Dong, so he was willing to help.

Unexpectedly, things went out of their way from the beginning, not only did Miss Dong detect the conspiracy, but also His Royal Highness the Fifth and Sixth Highnesses followed, and witnessed that His Royal Highness Taisun was also at the scene and heard Miss Dong's call for help, so His Royal Highness Taisun temporarily changed his confession, because the original design could not explain why His Royal Highness Taisun was at the scene, and it was impossible for Miss Dong to confess her affection to Gao Gongzi in front of His Royal Highness.

Because when His Royal Highness Taisun confessed, Gao Gongzi and Zhenzhen were both at the scene, so according to His Royal Highness Taisun's confession, he could temporarily change his confession, but Lu Xian was stopped by the two Royal Highnesses and could not come to Furong Pavilion in time, she didn't know what happened later, His Royal Highness Taisun and Gao Gongzi had no chance to collude with Lu Xian because of the presence of many witnesses, so Lu Xian's confession was inconsistent with His Royal Highness's words. ”

After saying this inference, Chun Gui said again: "His Royal Highness the grandson has defiled Miss Dong's innocence, although he has made a mistake, he should not dare to disobey his mother's order, which is understandable." However, the name festival is vital to the life of the boudoir woman, Miss Dong is innocent and humiliated, and only the mother can return her innocence and preside over fairness and comfort. ”

This is to remind the queen that although she can't choose the grandson, it is not that there is no way to ask for forgiveness, but she makes mistakes again and again to the point that things are out of control, causing this matter to cause controversy between the government and the opposition...... It's bound to be a lose-lose situation.
