Chapter 280: A Bloody Letter
Zhu Yun sneered in his heart, raised his voice and said, "What are you in a hurry, my lords, I haven't finished talking yet." ”
She stared coldly at the men, finally fixing her gaze on one of them. "Lord Liu, do you know why Concubine Yu was sent to the cold palace?"
Lord Liu, who was named, looked disdainful, "How can the lower officials know about the affairs of the harem." ”
Zhuyun laughed, "That being the case, how can you adults know about yesterday's events?" ”
"It's about Lord Hou, everyone is a colleague, so they will naturally know."
Zhuyun nodded suddenly and said, "It turns out that I am still bullying this palace and has nothing to rely on, no power, no one to support." ”
The courtiers became more and more proud, and some of them stood up directly and looked at Zhuyun at eye level. "The Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, Concubine Yun, it is a fact that you killed Concubine Yu, what kind of quibble do you have?"
Zhuyun shook his head, "This palace doesn't quibble, what this palace says is just the truth." ”
She asked rhetorically: "Since all the adults are so aware of what happened last night, then tell me, why did this palace kill Concubine Yu?" ”
Stand up and snort coldly. "The harem battle is nothing more than ......"
"By the way, this matter really has something to do with Concubine Wu."
Zhuyun suddenly mentioned Concubine Wu, which made everyone stunned, and Mrs. Wu, who was kneeling down, was even more inexplicably shocked.
"Your Majesty, the concubine wants to call a few people over."
Cheng Zirui bowed his head, "That's right." ”
Zhuyun called all the imperial doctors who had treated her, as well as all the secret guards who were guarding in the cold palace yesterday, and Ling Feng, who accompanied her in front of the emperor.
Cheng Zirui saw that Zhuyun's face was getting more and more pale and ugly, so he still asked someone to bring her a chair. Zhuyun was no longer stubborn, and after sitting on the chair, he gently pulled the skirt of his right foot up, revealing the ankle that had been bandaged but was stained with blood.
"It's all about tossing, Imperial Doctor, hurry up and show her."
Cheng Zirui's command had already made people see where Zhuyun's status was, and for a while, no one dared to speak anymore, just staring at her injured ankle.
"No need, the concubine is from a low background and is not so squeamish. The concubine called the imperial doctors over to make a testimony. ”
Saying that, she looked at Ling Feng first and said, "Ling Feng, yesterday you followed the palace to the cold palace, you tell the adults who knew about the situation again, and see if this is the same as what they heard." ”
Ling Feng told him about yesterday's events, and everything was very detailed. The imperial doctor also testified from the side, saying that Zhuyun was poisoned, and if he finished taking a step, not only this leg, but also this life would be gone.
The courtiers looked at each other, but only Mrs. Wu suddenly stood up, "Impossible!" The old minister's daughter has always been knowledgeable and kind-hearted, and she saves people by giving porridge in front of the mansion in winter, Concubine Yun, what you said is simply deliberately framing my daughter! ”
"Framed? That's interesting. Zhuyun borrowed Mrs. Wu's words and asked him rhetorically: "Mrs. Wu really thinks that Concubine Wu is knowledgeable and kind-hearted?" ”
Mrs. Wu's eyes widened, and she trembled with anger. "What do you mean by that?"
Zhuyun smiled rather than smiled, "I also ask the emperor to call Concubine Wu Niangniang, and in addition, the family surnamed Yu in Gui Nanpo also asks Ling Feng's guards to bring people as soon as possible." Since you want to settle the account, let's settle it all together! ”
Ling Feng looked at Cheng Zirui, after all, whether it was the Imperial Palace or this Jinluan Parliamentary Palace, it was not something that ordinary people could enter.
Cheng Zirui's eyes flashed something in his heart, and in the blink of an eye, it became ordinary again. He nodded and granted Zhuyun's request.
Mrs. Wu's body shook violently twice, and the red face and ears that had risen from anger before instantly turned pale again.
Zhuyun stood up with a sneer, "Mrs. Wu, what's wrong?" Quickly bring this chair to Mrs. Wu, let him sit down first, Gui Nanpo to the capital, but it will take a long time. ”
Ling Feng hurried to Guinanpo and rushed directly into Songbo's house. Yu Zhi was startled, and opened his mouth to call Xiulan. Xiulan helped Songbo out, looking at this unkind person for some reason.
Ling Feng glanced at the two of them, and suddenly grabbed Song Bo and dragged him out. The family was very frightened, and Xiulan even clenched her fists and came up directly to beat people. Ling Feng is a person who practices martial arts, and he works for Cheng Zirui, and he has a killing aura on his body. He pinched Xiulan's arm, his eyes were fierce as if he was going to kill, and Xiulan's legs were weak in fright.
"Stop!"
There was a scolding at the door, Ling Feng turned around and saw that Tong Yuqing was already standing at the door. Yu Chong walked from behind her, and his originally hurried steps slowed down after seeing Ling Feng's face clearly.
"Ling Feng, what are you going to do?" Tong Yuqing frowned, her eyes coldly watching Ling Feng grasping Song Bo's hand.
"Concubine Yun has an order, and the Xuanyu family enters the palace." Ling Feng let go of Xiulan and dragged Song Bo out.
Tong Yuqing took a step forward to block his way. "Why did you enter the palace?"
Ling Feng's eyes showed impatience, and suddenly his hand was loosened, and the hand he was holding on to Song Bo was easily separated by Yu Chong. Seeing this situation, Ling Feng had no choice but to say: "It is Concubine Yun who wants to settle Concubine Wu's account, so let them enter the palace and calculate the killing of people the year before last." ”
A thunderclap resounded above the heads of the Songbo family, and Xiulan was stunned for a moment before suddenly crying and laughing.
"Daddy, Daddy, did you hear me? The court is going to seek justice for us! ”
Old Songbo burst into tears and asked again in disbelief. "Is it really the imperial court that wants justice for my family?"
Ling Feng was cold-blooded, but he was also touched by the scene in front of him. He lowered his voice and put away the murderous aura on his body. "Yes, you follow me into the palace, the emperor and a bunch of adults are waiting, and there is no delay."
Tong Yuqing didn't expect this day to come so quickly, and after looking at Yu Chong, she urged Xiulan to follow Ling Feng for a trip.
"No!"
"No!"
Song Bo and Ling Feng said in unison.
Ling Feng glanced at Xiulan, "I never sit on a woman's horse." ”
Song Bo snorted coldly, "Men and women don't kiss, and I don't feel at ease about handing over my daughter-in-law to you." ”
These two ......
"It's easy." Yu Chong walked out and untied the noose from the carriage. "Yu Zhi, you ride with this Ling Feng guard, and I'll take Xiulan over. Somber, you are not feeling well, and you are at home. Qing'er, you accompany Songbo. ”
Tong Yuqing nodded, "I know." ”
Yu Zhi suddenly turned around and ran into the back room, and after a while, he ran back again, holding Xiulan's hand tightly.
Songbo was very satisfied with Yu Chong's arrangement, but he couldn't go to this trip to seek justice for his son, which was really unwilling.
The two horses were gone, and Song Bo wiped his tears and asked Tong Yuqing in a dumb voice. "Is that person really from the court? Will something happen to them again this time? ”
"No, it won't. That person is the person next to the emperor, and the emperor is Mingjun, and he can't get out of trouble. ”
Half an hour later, the four of them had already arrived at the gate of the palace. After getting off the horse, Ling Feng took Xiulan and Yu Zhi to enter the palace. Yu Zhi looked back at Yu Chong and asked him in a low voice why he didn't go in together.
Yu Chong smiled lightly, "I'll be waiting for you here." ”
The child didn't understand adult affairs, Xiulan nodded gratefully at Yu Chong, and hurriedly pulled Yu Zhi away, while telling Yu Chong to remind her of the things she should pay attention to in the palace when she came.
When Ling Feng arrived with someone, Concubine Wu had already arrived. The courtiers also stood on both sides, and the solemn and majestic occasion frightened Xiulan and Yu Zhi's legs weak, and they almost couldn't move.
"Your Majesty, someone brought it."
"Hmm." Cheng Zirui responded lightly, but his body subconsciously sat up straighter. Seeing that it was only a mother and son who walked in, and there was no one he wanted to see, he pressed his forehead against his forehead again and pretended to sleep under the pretense of the dragon case.
Xiulan took Yu Zhi and knelt down and shouted long live, her voice trembling so much that she couldn't even listen to herself.
"Don't be afraid." Zhuyun said: "You are Yu Ming's wife, Shen Xiulan?" Is this your son? ”
Xiulan's forehead was about to hit the ground, "The Minnu is the Shen Xiulan, this is the Minnu's son, Yu Zhi." ”
"Xiulan, you raise your head."
The sudden cold tone made people tremble, Xiulan's face was pale, her hands were nervously clasped together, and when she looked up, she just caught a glimpse of the handsome face of the Son of Heaven, and she was so frightened that she wanted to put her head down again.
"This palace asks you, what happened to your family on the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month of the year before last?"
Speaking of this day, Xiulan immediately showed her grief.
"On the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month of the year before last, my husband accidentally collided with Miss Guan on the official road and was directly killed. Later, I followed my father into the Beijing newspaper official mansion, and then I learned that it was the young lady of Mrs. Wu's family who killed the person. ”
As soon as the words fell, everyone looked at Concubine Wu. Concubine Wu was calm and calm, without a trace of panic.
Zhuyun asked again: "You said you went to report to the official, what did the government say?" ”
Xiulan left a line of tears, looked at Zhuyun and said, "We went to Jingzhao Mansion to report the case, but Lord Jingzhao Yin drove us out of the capital instead." Once or twice later. My dad was so angry that he almost couldn't save him twice. A few days later, someone from the imperial court came to our house and threatened us that if we went to the capital to make trouble, we would be unkind to my family. Where did the people dare to fight with the officials, and we have not been to the government since that day. Everyone in Gui Nanpo knew about this, and they dared not speak out, for fear of offending the imperial court. ”
Xiulan was shocked. This cold snort was even more cold and sharp than Zhuyun's tone just now.
"Where is Jing Zhaoyin?"
Jing Zhao Yin's neck was cold, and he stood up and said in a hard voice: "Jingzhao Mansion has records whether it is a report or a trial, and the matter that Shen just said is only that Yu Ming fell from the slope after investigation, and it happened that Concubine Wu's carriage passed by, and that's it." Yu Ming fell to his death instead of what Shen said, and was beaten to death. ”
"You're lying!"
Yu Zhi cried with a small face, pointed at Jing Zhaoyin and scolded: "I saw my father with my own eyes at that time, he didn't fall to his death at all." ”
"Shut up!" Concubine Wu trembled all over, and she couldn't wait to come over and tear this little hairy child.
Yu Zhi was not afraid, stared at Concubine Wu with tears in his eyes and asked, "If my father fell to death, why is there any trace of being beaten on his body?" Yu Zhi suddenly took out a bloodstained letter from his arms and threw it at Concubine Wu's feet. This is something that is pressed under my father's corpse, and according to my mother, the name of Miss Wu is written on it. ”
