Chapter 371: Human Witnesses

The situation in the palace is uncertain, and Su Qi Zhe has been looking for an opportunity to enter the palace.

Princess Zhen's proposal immediately aroused his interest, and he nodded again and again, very agreeing. "In this situation, the public says that the public is reasonable, and the mother says that the mother is reasonable, but it is difficult for the king. It's better to go to the face of the saint and solve this matter in front of the emperor, and the king of the province can't pinch the context and offend people on both sides. ”

"How, do you dare?" Zhen faced Gan Peilin and asked with gritted back molars.

"It's fine." Gan Peilin nodded: "Since the key to the whole thing lies in whether I have entered the palace or not, then only entering the palace can this matter be verified." Why not. ”

Jiang Yu didn't say a word, but acquiesced.

Lu Yao immediately arranged the frame, and Jiang Yu still rode in the same carriage with Gan Peilin.

The group went to the palace in a mighty way.

Today was supposed to be the day of Xue Baoyun's funeral, but the outside of Jiang's mansion was already guarded by Yulin Guard, and even the guests who came to mourn were turned away.

It is impossible for such a battle not to arouse the speculation of others, so that where the carriage passes, many people gather to point fingers.

Yanzi and Liulan have been paying close attention to the movements around them, but they are not optimistic in their hearts.

They didn't discuss it, so they unanimously insisted that Gan Peilin did not enter the palace, and it is difficult to change their words until now.

Especially Yanzi, Jiang Yu asked her face-to-face. Because she knew the seriousness of the situation, she didn't admit it even to death.

Now the carriage was quiet, and there was not a trace of movement, which made their hearts extremely restless.

What Gan Peilin was most afraid of was Jiang Yu's silence.

Every time he was silent, his face was expressionless, as if he was in an ice cellar, it was cold, and the air was thin and suffocating.

If the trouble caused by Su Qizhe and the Zhen brothers and sisters can be easily solved, then Gan Peilin is the most unconfident in facing Jiang Yu.

Xue Baoyun's death is inseparable from her. Jiang Yu is so smart, how can he not see through it.

So, if he asked herself, how would she answer?

The two of them sat silently beside each other, but it was as if they were separated by a heavy mountain, and no one could see each other.

At this time, Jiang Yu's mind was also a mess of chaos. Too many questions, too many worries, entangled, can't see clearly at all. If he can't sort out his own mood, he will be even more restless.

For her, it's not that she doesn't want to ask, but she doesn't dare to ask.

The carriage went straight into the palace and arrived at the Changning Palace smoothly.

also got out of the carriage, and Su Qi Zhe found out that they had actually entered Changning Palace.

"Aren't you going to face the saint?" Su Qizhe raised his eyebrows and looked at the entourage beside him.

Before the attendants could say a word, they saw the emperor's chamberlain saluting him. "His Royal Highness King Qin didn't know, these days, the emperor's body was not happy, and the queen's mother took care of it personally, so someone would disturb the emperor's recuperation without authorization, so he moved to Changning Palace to recuperate. It was also for you to hand over the news and ask for a face, so the queen had no choice but to let the servants invite you directly to Changning Palace. ”

"It's really annoying the emperor and the queen." Su Qi Zhe bowed his hand in the direction of the main hall as a sign of respect. Then he said to the inner warden: "I am tired of my father-in-law leading the way." ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, please." The inner chamberlain bowed slightly, then turned around and led the way.

The Changning Palace is calm, and the flowers in the courtyard are still luxuriant, as if there has never been any bloody rain in this deep palace.

Gan Peilin thought about that day, the ground was red, and the scene of life and death everywhere was like a dream.

Zhen deliberately walked beside Jiang Yu and staggered her position.

Gan Peilin could only take half a step back, as if he was not as noble as Zhen.

But she didn't care about this little bit of caution at all. After being able to pass this level, she can slowly deal with Zhen. But if you can't pass this level, it's useless to care about these trivial things.

Thinking so, the group arrived at the main hall.

Above the main hall, the emperor was sitting precariously, his face faintly sickly.

Wen Xinlan was dressed in a red phoenix robe, with a dignified foil on the side, quite a bit graceful and luxurious.

The group saluted, and Wen Xinlan instructed Bao Que to watch the seat. Only then did he say to the emperor: "Your Majesty, people are here." ”

Xuanqi nodded slightly when he heard this: "Then sit down." ”

Only then did several people sit separately, and no one was in a hurry to speak for a while.

"King Qin suddenly sent a message into the palace, saying that something important was to face the saint, I don't know what it was?" Wen Xinlan asked for Xuanqi.

Su Qizhe looked at the queen and said calmly: "Weichen has been ordered to thoroughly investigate the death of Mrs. Taiwei, and it has been confirmed that Mrs. Taiwei was indeed poisoned. But...... What cannot be proved is whether Mrs. Taiwei died of poisoning, or ...... Stabbed to death. And the Governor's wife insisted that she had never entered the palace, and it had nothing to do with this matter, and the minister ...... The matter was unfavorable, and he could not find conclusive evidence, so he could only enter the palace to ask the emperor for a holy ruling. ”

After he finished speaking, Zhen's heart rose to his throat. At this moment, the queen's words can decide Gan Peilin's life and death. But she didn't know in her heart whether the queen would defend Gan Peilin.

Xuan Qi wrung his brows and said: "Didn't the Gandang enter the palace on the same day, didn't it coincide with Princess Shangzhen's entry into the court to ask for peace?" ”

"Your Majesty." Cheesy and hurriedly explained: "The wife of the Metropolitan Governor investigated by Weichen is another, the daughter of the Great Sima Mansion, Gan Peilin. ”

"Oh." Xuanqi's gaze moved to Gan Peilin's face, his eyebrows were frowning, and his expression was slightly serious: "Then Gan Peilin, did you enter the palace that day?" ”

At this time, everyone's eyes were focused on Gan Peilin.

Gan Peilin got up and saluted slowly, and couldn't help but think in her heart, if she can hide it from anyone, I'm afraid she can't hide it from Jiang Yu......

"No, I didn't." Wen Xinlan was the first to speak: "On the day of this palace, I only saw Princess Zhen in the palace, but I never saw the wife of the Grand Duke. It's just that her two close maids have been to the palace. Maybe it's to protect Princess Zhen. ”

"Queen Mother...... Zhen looked at her suspiciously: "Why are you ......?"

"What?" Wen Xinlan looked at Zhen puzzled.

Zhen bit her lip, and her eyebrows sank slightly: "Maybe there was chaos that day, and the queen mother never saw Sister Peilin." But when she was in the palace of the concubine, the concubine and Mrs. Taiwei saw Peilin's sister on the spot. If the queen doesn't believe it, she can summon the palace people of the concubine's palace, and you will know as soon as you ask. ”

Wen Xinlan couldn't help but chuckle in her heart, this princess Zhen really couldn't understand things.

She curled her lips slightly, and her tone was a little cold: "The noble concubine has received the grace of the saint, but she doesn't think about allegiance, and colludes with Shi Yeguo to take advantage of the chaos to plot rebellion." The palace has issued an order to dispose of all the palace people serving in the palace of the concubine, those who are close will be killed with sticks and canes, and those who are alienated will be sent to the distant frontier as slaves. Today's Guifei Palace is already a secluded place where people go to the empty building like a cold palace, and I'm afraid it's difficult to find someone to come out and ask. ”

"......" Zhen really couldn't understand why the queen wanted to defend Gan Peilin.

It is clear that Gan Peilin is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and with her, she will definitely get in the way of the queen's hands and feet.

"Even if the people from the Guifei Palace can't testify, there is still this princess who has seen it with her own eyes." Zhen gritted his teeth and said word by word: "She is my husband's wife, even if she is my relative, if it weren't for my mother who said that she murdered, how dare I confess this matter in front of the emperor and queen." ”

"But ......" Wen Xinlan couldn't help but wonder: "She, like you, is a daughter-in-law." Why did he murder his mother-in-law? To do this kind of thing, you have to have a motive, right? ”

When she said this, Wen Xinlan's eyes glanced at Jiang Yu: "Grand Dudu, are you also so suspicious of your wife?" ”

Jiang Yu turned his head sideways, glanced at Gan Peilin, and then met the queen's eyes: "No." ”

"That's it." Wen Xinlan said with a smile: "Most of the governors don't think that there is any grudge between this mother-in-law and daughter-in-law that must be killed. Princess Zhen, you are new to the city, is there any misunderstanding? ”

"Princess Ben heard her mother-in-law cursing Gan Peilin for murdering her, is this also a misunderstanding? Besides, it is no secret that her mother-in-law doesn't like her, and she is in Jiang's mansion. If the queen mother does not believe it, she can send the person who used to serve by her mother-in-law's side to ask questions. Zhen still can't understand why everyone is helping Gan Peilin. It's obvious that she was ruthless.

"The Queen." Bao Que got the news and stepped forward to salute.

"What?" Wen Xinlan's eyes rolled slightly.

"Mrs. Su asks to see." Bao Que said truthfully.

"See you at this time?" Wen Xinlan couldn't help but hesitate: "I'm afraid I'm going to snub Mrs." ”

"Queen Mother, Mrs. Su said that she came for Mrs. Taiwei's affairs." Bao Que had to explain.

Wen Xinlan made a well-behaved appearance at this time, and said to Xuanqi beside her: "Your Majesty, it seems that things are still turning around. Since it is about human life, the concubine thinks that there can be no fault in the slightest. It's better to ask Mrs. Su to come in and ask carefully. ”

"Hmm." Xuanqi just nodded.

"Please." Wen Xinlan gave an order to the Bao Que on the side.

After a short time, Mrs. Su took steady steps and went up to the main hall.

"Concubine to the emperor and queen to say goodbye." Mrs. Su glanced at Gan Peilin, and then at Princess Zhen, her face was a little unhappy. "The concubine learned that today was the funeral of Mrs. Taiwei, and she wanted to send it off. In this imperial city, who doesn't know that Mrs. Taiwei is very popular, how do you know that as soon as you go, you only see Yu Linwei sealing the Jiang Mansion...... The concubine was curious, and after asking for a long time, she knew that something big had happened. ”

"It's hard for Madame to go on this trip, but, do you know what?" Wen Xinlan asked.

"Yes." Mrs. Su nodded: "When the Gan Party entered the palace, in fact, Mrs. Dadu was with her concubine. ”

"Oh?" Wen Xinlan said deliberately: "Madame wants to be a witness for Peilin." ”

"Not bad." Mrs. Su smiled: "Mrs. Dadu was originally busy with the affairs of the inner courtyard in the mansion, but the concubine had to bother her to go for a trip because she was in a hurry, so she was quietly picked up from the Dadu Governor's Mansion." ”

Mrs. Su raised her hand and took a sachet from the maid behind her: "This is the reason why the concubine asked Mrs. Dadu to come to me." I have a very severe wheezing disorder that could kill me if I have an attack. This sachet is something that is used to save my life. Every incense material in it was personally selected by Gan Peilin. How can a person appear in two places at the same time, since she can't, then the affairs in the palace have nothing to do with her. also asked the emperor and queen to administer justice for Gan Peilin, and don't let people with bad intentions harm her. ”
