Chapter 44: Debunking
When dinner was approaching, someone from the main courtyard came to pass the word and asked Qi Ying and Chu Yanxu to come over.
Qi Ying is not surprised, what should come will always come, and what should be faced is always unavoidable.
At this time, the atmosphere in the main courtyard was tense and depressing, and everyone in the hall had serious faces and different thoughts. The broken porcelain pieces scattered on the floor were dropped by King Su when he was angry.
When Qi Ying and Chu Yanxu entered, everyone's eyes fell on them together, some as cold as ice, some with anger, and some with joy in their hearts......
In the hall, there were Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Gong, and You Shi, and Princess Su was still sitting next to King Su. It can be seen that things are not as smooth as imagined!
"Qi Ying, you are so bold!"
Princess Su suddenly slapped the table hard, her eyes as cold as an ice blade shooting straight at Qi Ying, and her voice was fierce.
This is the first time that Princess Su has faced Qi Ying directly, although she didn't like Qi Ying before, it was just secretly making things difficult and using some means, on the surface, Qi Ying was still gentle, after all, she had to maintain her dignified and tolerant image as a princess.
Chu Yanxu saw that Qi Ying was suddenly reprimanded, and he was puzzled for a while, and looked at her in astonishment, his eyes full of questions.
Qi Ying didn't understand Chu Yanxu's puzzled eyes, his eyes looked straight at Princess Su for a moment, then lowered his eyes and bent down, and said slowly: "The daughter-in-law doesn't know what she did wrong, if the mother is angry, please make the daughter-in-law ......."
"What did you do? Don't you know? Princess Su's vicious gaze made her eager to rush over and tear Qi Ying apart, "Did You Shi instruct you?" ”
"This matter has nothing to do with the princess, she was just called by me to listen and testify." Mrs. Gong's tone was firm, much more rigid and righteous than usual, "And you are not afraid of being punished by God when you do such a vicious thing?" ”
"Father, mother, what's going on?" Chu Yanxu was still confused, and couldn't help but interject and ask.
"Listen," King Su's tone was cold, and he glanced at Qi Ying lightly in a blink of an eye, "Princess Shizi, can you tell me what the You clan said at that time?" ”
Qi Ying slowly bowed to King Su and said, "You Shi said something twenty years ago, which was about the birth of the princess and the prince. She said that the prince was not born to the princess, but the child of Concubine Tong back then. She said that for the position of the main concubine, the princess bought off the grandmother who delivered the baby to Concubine Tong at that time, and let the grandmother assassinate Concubine Tong when Concubine Tong gave birth and hide her child in private. Two days later, the princess gave birth to a girl, and she asked people to bring Concubine Tong's child to be her child, and announced to the public that she had given birth to a dragon and phoenix fetus, and that boy was the current son, and that girl was the lord of Yuya....."
Although everyone had heard similar things in the hall just now, Qi Ying's reply still caused an uproar.
But what is strange is that Chu Yanxu just closed his eyes deeply for a moment, and when he opened them again, his eyes were cracked, his fists were clenched, and he did not react excessively.
"That's nonsense! You Shi, you eat things inside and outside, I have treated you well all these years, for no reason, you actually joined forces with others to frame me......" Princess Su turned to glare at You Shi angrily, her eyes raging with anger. However, she quickly reined in her anger again, and looked at King Su with a sad look that I saw pity, "Lord Wang, You is my maid in marriage, but she didn't do her best in the past few years, so I didn't let her serve closely, presumably she hates me in her heart, and her words are framing me!" Lord Wang, the concubine has not done these things, Yan Xu is my child, please don't listen to their nonsense, it will ruin the relationship between Yan Xu and my mother and son......"
"Since the princess kept saying that she hadn't done those things and hadn't harmed Concubine Tong, how could the maids, grandmothers, and maids around you who knew about it all be investigated and killed?"
"I didn't kill them..... Princess Su kicked Qi Ying angrily.
"I didn't say that you killed the princess......"
"You're trying to trick me?"
"Did the princess admit it?" Qi Ying gave her a cold look back, and pressed on.
"I told you I didn't kill them. Qi Ying, you framed your mother-in-law without any evidence, it is simply a great rebellion, how can the palace allow you to be so disrespectful? Someone, send her to the Buddha Hall to kneel......"
Compared with others, Princess Su vaguely felt that Qi Ying's existence was her biggest threat, and her daughter-in-law, who didn't know much about her, seemed to be quite hostile to her. Although Qi Ying is not an important person related to these matters, she is thoughtful, and letting her stay here must be making things worse for herself, so Princess Su's top priority is to let Qi Ying be detained.
The concubine thinks that since she wants to find out the truth today, there will naturally be a refutation, and the concubine feels that the question of the princess just now is not unreasonable. Since the princess said that she was innocent, she must be able to prove her innocence, so why should she be angry with the princess? ”
Mrs. Fang opened her mouth to interject, and her sentences were just right, blocking Princess Su's face.
"The princess is right, at that time, who died, disappeared, all kinds of strange things, and as the princess of the palace, you dealt with those things perfunctory, and in the end, it was not done. Now it seems that the death and disappearance of those people is not because you can't find out the reason, but because you don't dare to let others investigate in order to cover up your own crimes......"
Mrs. Liu's eyes were red, and her phoenix eyes were staring at Princess Su with half-squinted eyes. She was the first concubine to enter King Su's mansion, even earlier than Princess Su. Although Princess Su did a lot of things in the palace with almost one hand, the disappearance of those people one after another still attracted her attention, and she was just a lowly concubine at that time, and she didn't dare to ask about the affairs of the palace.
At this moment, the subordinates were also looking at the direction of the wind, and seeing that King Su didn't speak, they didn't dare to really listen to Princess Su's words and pull away Qi Ying for a while. If it was before, Princess Su's orders would have been carried out without hesitation, but now the wind is uncertain, and the subordinates all bow their heads to minimize their sense of existence, so as not to accidentally become cannon fodder.
King Su coldly swept over everyone and waved his hand, which was regarded as letting Qi Ying continue to stay.
"Father, they have no evidence, they are collaborating to deliberately frame their mother, you must not listen to their nonsense......"
Chu Yuya grabbed King Su's sleeve and looked at King Su with eager eyes.
"If you want to talk about credentials, You Shi is a human witness! As for the physical evidence, if you take out all the medical cases that the imperial doctor gave to the princess during pregnancy, you may be able to find some traces from them. ”
Qi Ying ignored Chu Yuya's cruel gaze as if she was going to swallow her, at this time she was not afraid of offending Chu Yuya more ruthlessly, Chu Yuya was hostile to her from the beginning, and Xin Zhi's death was an irrevocable grudge between them.
At this time, Princess Su's face was even more gloomy, and she retorted sharply: "It's been twenty years, how can there be any medical cases?" ”
"The last time someone framed the concubine, the princess was able to let people find out the medical case of the fifth prince who occasionally felt cold twelve years ago. After such a long time, the princess can easily find out even a medical case of wind and cold, but now she says that she can't find a medical case for her pregnancy, who believes this? I'm afraid it's not that I can't get it out after a long time, but someone deliberately destroyed the evidence, right? Not only that, I'm afraid that the imperial doctor who saw him at that time was also more auspicious, right? For your own selfishness, you do not hesitate to kill your mother and child, and kill insiders, etc., which is simply extremely cruel. and Hui'er, who was poisoned by you at a young age and suffered from leg disease, what is he innocent of? You're going to do this to him? .....”
Mrs. Liu asked questions again and again, and every sentence went straight to the point, Princess Ren Su was calm on the surface, and there was a storm in her heart, and she was uneasy, "Liu, don't spew blood, you talk nonsense again, be careful that I tear your mouth ......"
King Su watched every word and deed of everyone in the hall, and he, the princess, never cared about him from the beginning to the end of Chu Yanxu's entry, but just shirked his crimes, which is like a mother's performance when she was questioned that her son was not her own,
King Su stared coldly at Princess Su for a long time, and said with a faint expression: "From today on, the princess will move to live in Suchen next to the Buddhist hall, and she will never be .....allowed to go out without my order" After he finished speaking, he got up and walked out without hesitation, paused when he passed by Chu Yanxu, and just glanced at it, and then walked out dizzily, ignoring Princess Su's cry for mercy and the reactions of others.
King Su's disposition was decisive, and even the physical evidence was no longer verified, which made everyone amazed. It's just that King Su is unclear about Princess Su's crimes, and he doesn't deny it, and even retains her title of Princess Su, but she just moves to claustrophobia, which makes people unclear.
