Chapter 241: A World of Difference
The younger brother is the eldest son in the family and the only son of her mother, and if his brother dies, her mother will definitely not be able to bear it.
Concubine Liu also knew that her younger brother was not successful, but she really didn't expect that he would dare to kill someone on the street.
He is too impulsive, and there are countless ways to punish a person, but he chooses the stupidest.
With their family's background and power, if they want to kill a civilian, they only need to do something secretly.
When the time comes, even if others are suspicious, they will not be able to produce evidence, and he will still be able to get out safely.
As a result, he came to this trick and folded himself in, his mother washed her face with tears at home all day long, and his father was even more sad, and he had to face many difficulties from the emperor.
After Concubine Liu heard about this in the palace, she was also anxious, that was her only younger brother, if she was gone, she would have a very difficult life in the future.
So, she came directly to the imperial study regardless of it, wanting to intercede for her brother so that he could avoid death, as long as people are alive, there is hope.
"Ask the emperor to be gracious, spare the life of the concubine and brother!" Concubine Liu Lihua knelt on the ground with rain.
"This matter is a foregone conclusion, and nothing will change!" The emperor rejected her plea.
"The concubine knows that his younger brother made a mistake this time, but for the sake of him being a first-time offender, please ask Your Majesty to spare him once, the concubine and her family are willing to atone for him!" Concubine Liu thought that the emperor would wish under her own plea.
It's a pity that the emperor's words shattered her illusions, "Why don't you ask if the deceased's family is willing to let him go?" ”
The emperor's face was pale, and his eyes were full of disgust.
He had also heard a little about Concubine Liu's younger brother being domineering, but he hadn't caused much trouble before.
Those who were bullied by him, the Liu family also secretly compensated, and the emperor turned a blind eye and did not pursue it.
After all, if the bitter master doesn't sue him, those things will naturally be over.
As a result, he poked such a big basket this time, and he wanted to get out of the prison unharmed, which was simply delusional.
The emperor has always been fair and strict, and he will not be extraordinarily gracious because he is the younger brother of his favorite concubine.
"The Seventh Prince has also harmed people's lives before, why can the emperor let him go, but he can't spare the younger brother of the concubine?" Concubine Liu was angry in her heart, so she directly told Jun Qianchen about it.
She felt that the emperor was too partial, and it was clear that Jun Qianchen had also committed the crime of murder, but the emperor just grounded him, and even wanted to send him out of Qidu.
With such a world-wide difference in treatment, Concubine Liu was naturally uneasy......
"Qianchen's matter has not yet been investigated, and there are many suspicious points, and your brother killed someone on the street, and many people witnessed it, besides, he bullied the market on weekdays, and did many evil things!" When the emperor saw her talking about Jun Qianchen, his eyes were dyed with anger.
His son's character has always been noble, and he doesn't even want the throne, so it is impossible for such a person to suddenly kill someone.
After the emperor calmed down and thought about the ins and outs of everything, he already believed Jun Qianchen in his heart.
However, since he had made up his mind, the emperor wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to see that he could stay away from Qi Du and retreat.
Who would have thought that Concubine Liu would actually intervene sideways, and she would have to hold on to Jun Qianchen's affairs.
"If the emperor can handle the case of the Seven Princes impartially, the concubine will never intercede for his younger brother again!" Concubine Liu let it go.
She knew that if she said this, she would inevitably offend the emperor, but for the sake of her younger brother, she couldn't care so much......
"So, you're questioning my unfairness?" The emperor's gaze at her was full of coldness.
As the lord of the heavens, no one has ever dared to disobey him.
Concubine Liu's behavior made him feel disgusted from the bottom of his heart.
If it weren't for the connivance of the Liu family, why would her younger brother be so arrogant and domineering, he had secretly beaten Concubine Liu's father and asked him to strictly restrain his family.
It's a pity that since ancient times, his mother has been defeated many times, he has been favored in the house since he was a child, and his sister is the emperor's favorite concubine, and many people in Qi have to give him three points.
He became more and more arrogant, but unfortunately the Liu family blindly connived, although Concubine Liu's father wanted to discipline him.
However, his temperament has long been cultivated, how can he change it easily, not to mention that there is also Mrs. Liu, and Concubine Liu to protect him, which finally caused Lord Liu to be powerless.
"The concubine doesn't dare, the concubine just hopes that the emperor can give his younger brother a chance to live!" Concubine Liu knelt on the ground, her eyes full of tears.
"Concubine Liu, please speak with self-respect, my Jun Qianchen is worthy of heaven and earth, that person was not killed by me!" Jun Qianchen saw that she kept using herself to accuse the emperor of being unfair.
Distraught, he immediately stood up.
Jun Qianchen does not tolerate others throwing dirty water on him.
"The people of Qidu all know that you killed an innocent person for the sake of the Seventh Prince's Concubine, is it possible that the Seventh Prince is trying to deny it by virtue of his identity?" When Concubine Liu saw him, she couldn't suppress the anger in her heart.
Why did Jun Qianchen kill someone and be safe and sound, but her younger brother wanted to return his life?
"It's your Liu family who is bullying, what has your brother done all these years, Concubine Liu knows it in her heart, and you are just a concubine of your father, who gave you the courage to question your father's words?"
Jun Qianchen wanted her to know that the laws of the Great Qi Dynasty were strict, and she couldn't change them by crying.
"The Seventh Prince stood in front of me with great righteousness, and when he counted my younger brother, did you ever think that you would kill that person's parents, wife and children?" Concubine Liu was not afraid of Jun Qianchen's identity, and argued with him.
She knew very well in her heart that this was her brother's only chance of life, and if she didn't hold on to it, her brother would really die......
"I have never killed anyone, I am naturally open-minded, no matter how my father investigates, I am not afraid!" Jun Qianchen stood aside leisurely, his expression unchanged.
"Seventh Prince, unless you can come up with evidence to prove your innocence, please ask the emperor to deal with it impartially!" Concubine Liu's face changed drastically.
She didn't expect that Jun Qianchen would be in the emperor's imperial study.
After the emperor heard Concubine Liu's words, he became more and more dissatisfied in his heart.
However, what was in front of her did make it difficult for her.
Originally, he planned to directly let Jun Qianchen and Bai Linxia leave this place of right and wrong.
After all, he has no intention of taking the throne, and if he continues to stay in Qidu, he will inevitably be involved.
This incident made the emperor have a decision in his heart.
When he was old, he wanted to keep his most beloved son by his side, but unfortunately the world was impermanent, and it was difficult for him to achieve his wish after all.
However, as long as Jun Qianchen can be safe and happy, he, as a father, can be regarded as doing the last thing for him.
As a result, Concubine Liu was determined to pull Jun Qianchen into this dispute.
Her mind is obvious, either her brother and Jun Qianchen have been punished, even if it is a death penalty, her Liu family will admit it. Or just let the two of them go and let them fly away from now on.
Jun Qianchen saw the determination in her eyes, and a sneer overflowed from the corner of his mouth, he had never seen such a shameless request.
"I will send someone to investigate this matter, but your brother can only stay in the prison!" The emperor was in a dilemma.
In his selfish heart, he naturally wanted to let Jun Qianchen and Bai Linxia go.
However, now that Concubine Liu's younger brother is involved, she bites Jun Qianchen to the death, if he directly lets the two leave Qidu, the Liu family will definitely not give up.
When the time comes, if they spread the word, the people will surely accuse him of protecting his shortcomings.
If he can't stop the world, things will only get worse.
"Father, the son wants to investigate this case personally!" Jun Qianchen knew that the emperor was embarrassed, so he took the initiative to ask for help.
In the past few days, he and Bai Linxia have been grounded, and there has been no progress in this case.
Jun Qianchen guessed that someone was trying to fish in troubled waters behind his back, and used this incident to deal with their husband and wife.
"Yes, I promise you!" The emperor knew that it would be difficult for the matter to end here.
Since Jun Qianchen himself proposed to investigate, how could he not be satisfied.
"There's always a deadline for investigating the truth, right?" Concubine Liu asked.
"For half a month, if Qianchen still can't find any evidence, I will definitely not tolerate it, so are you satisfied?" The emperor's eyes were filled with coldness.
"The concubine has no objection!" After Concubine Liu saw the emperor's eyes, her back was cold.
She only cared about saving her brother just now, but she forgot that Jun Qianchen was his favorite son and that she was his concubine.
Since the moment she entered the palace, she has been the emperor's woman, and now she has offended the emperor in order to help her mother's younger brother intercede, and she is very panicked.
For a long time, the women of the harem have relied on the power of the family and the favor of the emperor to live.
Over the years, although the Liu family has always been a noble family, their family is not worth mentioning at all compared to the real family......
Concubine Liu felt a pang in her heart, if she didn't have the emperor's favor, how would she gain a foothold in the harem in the future?
Jun Qianchen glanced at her coldly and said, "Father, the son and the minister are retired!" ”
This woman is not too stupid, and knows to use him as an excuse to embarrass the emperor and buy time for her brother.
It's a pity that the emperor's mind is not something that others can speculate casually, and now Concubine Liu openly questioned him, which has angered the emperor.
I'm afraid she won't have a good time in the future.
Jun Qianchen had a smile on the corner of his mouth, and left the palace with light skills.
The palace guards knew his identity, so they didn't show up......
After he went back, he immediately told Bai Linxia what happened in the imperial study.
"I'm glad you were able to investigate this case yourself!" Bai Linxia took his hand and said, "Although the clear are self-purifying, and the turbid are self-turbid, but the world is easy to be deceived by performance!" ”
"I'll go out at night, you stay in the house to rest, don't worry about me!" Previously, Jun Qianchen wanted to leave as soon as possible, so he didn't care much about the case.
He had a clear conscience, so he didn't want to ask at all.
However, this matter is now being used by others, as a talisman for a heinous person, Jun Qianchen is very angry in his heart.
"Be careful!" Bai Linxia knew that he was going to investigate the case, so he didn't stop it.
In the past few days, she has often had nightmares at night, and the content is almost the same, Bai Linxia is very uneasy.
She always felt that her dreams were a kind of warning, after all, it was impossible for a person to have the same dream for days in a row.
However, she didn't have the ability to predict the future, and everything in her dream seemed so ethereal, so Bai Linxia didn't tell Jun Qianchen about her inner worries.
Since coming to Qidu, she and Jun Qianchen have often been framed.
She didn't want to carry this black cauldron all the time, even if she had to leave, she had to leave the city gate with dignity and innocence......
