639 Bring it on
"Your Majesty, the East Palace has come to deliver a message...... It is said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince intends to see His Majesty. β
When Emperor Zhaofeng heard this, he hurriedly said, "Yes." β
Knowing that there would be today's situation, he should have approved the prince's request to see him yesterday.
Emperor Zhaofeng regretted it without any principle.
Soon, Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling were brought over.
The two of them entered the hall and saluted, and when they looked up and saw Zhang Meishou, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
The second sister is really safe and sound, so they can rest assured - after all, the second sister rarely enters the palace, relatively speaking, this palace is their territory, if the second sister has a business trip on their territory, they really can't explain it to their family.
Zhang Meishou inexplicably understood the meaning in the eyes of the two, and rolled his eyes helplessly in his heart.
After staying in the palace for a while, I still have a sense of responsibility.
"Let me ask you, do you have any dealings with the six princes in private?" Emperor Zhaofeng looked at the two of them and asked in a kind tone.
However, the way of questioning is still very skillful.
Zhang Heling replied: "Back to the emperor, the villains have some dealings with the six princes. β
Zhang Yanling said a little embarrassedly: "...... The Six Princes would occasionally bring some food to the little people. β
It's all about this time, and they naturally know what to say.
Emperor Zhaofeng's eyebrows moved slightly, and he asked again: "The last time the six princes ordered someone to bring you food, do you remember when it was?" β
Zhang Meishou narrowed his eyes slightly.
The emperor's words are full of temptation.
Just when the eunuch went to invite someone, the sixth prince revealed some details - when he gave Heling Yanling begonia cake that day, he never faked his hand to the inner prison, and even the inner prison didn't know about it.
In this way, many things can be explained.
But when the emperor asked at this time, he asked about the latest time he 'ordered someone' to deliver food.
Even if some imperial doctors testified that Concubine Jing had never instigated anything from the six princes, the emperor was still suspicious of the words of the six princes-
Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling each pondered for a moment, but there was no eye contact.
They have always remembered that when speaking in front of the emperor, not only can they not talk to each other, but they must not make eye contact with each other.
"The last time I gave food to the villains was early in the morning of the sixth prince's accident." Zhang Yanling said.
"Oh?" Emperor Zhaofeng seemed to have scrutiny in his eyes.
"But that day, the sixth prince personally carried the food box and sent it to the Danfang for the villains." Zhang Heling keenly grasped the key point, and his face was still sincere: "...... The villain still remembers that the snack of that day was begonia cake. β
Emperor Zhaofeng's eyes softened slightly.
Immediately afterwards, he asked again: "Do you know that the reason why the sixth prince was poisoned that day was because he ate that begonia cake?" β
Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling did not hesitate, and replied with their heads bowed in unison: "The villain knows." β
"Since you are fine after eating it, you should suspect that this dim sum was not poisoned in the East Palaceβwhy didn't you say such an important clue in the first place?"
Emperor Zhaofeng asked, only to feel that this call was asked by himself very wonderful.
It's just clear-thinking, progressive, meticulous, and seamless.
Hehe, if Xie Yushi is here, he should realize that this is not just imitation, but transcendence.
"The villains have also thought about showing His Majesty, but there is no evidence to prove it."
Zhang Heling replied in a low voice: "When the six princes sent snacks to the villains that day, they sent them quietly, and the villains also avoided other people to eat them, and ate them cleanly...... Therefore, there is neither evidence nor witnesses. β
Emperor Zhaofeng knew this.
In this case, if you say it rashly, no one will believe or mention it, but I am afraid that I will be suspected of deliberately giving false testimony.
It's human nature that you don't dare to say it.
"Your Majesty...... Their Zhang family has always had close contacts with the crown prince, and it may not have been communicated in advance! Concubine Ning's expression was already flustered.
"The Zhang family and the prince communicated in advance, who communicated with Ji'er?" Emperor Zhaofeng did not look at her, but at the children in the tent.
Hey, if Concubine Ai wants to explain for herself, she should also think of some clever explanations.
At this time, it is no longer the time to close your eyes and listen to her nonsense.
Right and wrong, he must first distinguish clearly before he can decide whether to indulge her again.
This time is different.
In his selfish heart, he didn't want to believe that it was really Concubine Ai's doing-
At this time, the eunuch entered the palace and said: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived." β
"Xuan in."
In a moment, a teenager walked in with the inner prison.
A tall and tall young man, wrapped in a cold air, dressed in a crow blue robe, more and more lined with a human face like a crown of jade, pure and noble.
"Son-in-law, see father."
The boy raised his hand and saluted.
Emperor Zhaofeng nodded and looked at the person.
The prince is still not stable, and he can't see any traces of being tortured by life.
Yes, he has a bit of the style when he was a waste prince.
Emperor Zhaofeng wanted to ask about the matter, but he was not in a hurry to open this mouth.
Ning Guifei tensed her jaw slightly, looked at the young man, couldn't bear it, and reluctantly bowed: "His Royal Highness the Prince." β
"Ning Guifei Niangniang."
The boy's gaze passed over her and fell on the girl by the screen.
Zhang Meishou bowed to him with everyone on their knees.
When they straightened up, their eyes met for a moment.
"Your Majesty......" Concubine Ning was anxious to excuse herself, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she saw Emperor Zhaofeng raise her hand and stopped her from going on.
"When I ask, it's not too late for Concubine Ai to answer."
Ning Guifei's face changed, and her palms were wet and sticky.
"The prince came to see me at this time, why did he come to see me?" Emperor Zhaofeng didn't mention anything else, but asked quietly.
He subconsciously only thought that the prince would say something about the earth's movements.
Unexpectedly, he heard the other party say: "There is a person who wants to be personally handed over to his father." β
"Who?" Emperor Zhaofeng was full of doubts in his heart.
Who should he deal with personally?
"This person personally confessed that the poison in the sixth brother was purchased by him out of the palace." Zhu Youzhu preached.
"What?" Emperor Zhaofeng's expression tightened: "Where is this person now?" β
Zhu Youzhu instructed the inner supervisor beside him: "Bring people over." β
The eunuch responded and slowly retreated.
Ning Guifei's back was cold, and she looked at the grandmother beside her, as if there was a question in her eyes.
In order to prevent business trips, the people who bought poison should have been disposed of a long time ago, how could they still stay until now, and they were caught by the prince?!
Mama shook her head very slightly, signaling that Ning Guifei didn't need to panic first.
This matter is her own hands.
She guessed that it should be the prince's plan.
With her eyes, Ning Guifei was a little calm.
But in the blink of an eye, Mama saw the eunuch who was brought up, but her expression froze on her face for a moment, and her heart sank into the abyss in an instant.
No, that's not ......!
