Chapter 114: The rain breaks at the railing
"Jokes." When Huang Rui'e heard this, she immediately became angry: "This palace has a moon in the palace to support, how can you need to use such a large sum of silver." You don't have to be a fool. ”
When the other person heard Concubine Yi's words, he couldn't suppress the anger in his chest, and hurriedly glanced at the emperor.
Just as Lan Xin also saw his anxiety, he smiled and said, "Don't tell Concubine Yi yet, who are you?" ”
"Xu Tiantong, a grass citizen, is the dart master of the Xiangyun Dart Bureau in the capital. About four months ago, the grass people received the silver tattoo that was escorted into Beijing by the Zhenwei Dart Bureau, and according to the request of the victim, they tried their best to exchange it for official silver, and then distributed it to several major medicinal herb shops in the capital. It was said that it was used to purchase medicinal materials, but the owner of the pharmacy was mysterious and did not say much. ”
Qian Jun waited for Xu Tiantong to finish speaking, and hurriedly added: "Caomin heard from my uncle that the batch of tattooed silver used by Yi Concubine Niangniang was escorted into Beijing by the Zhenwei Dart Bureau. ”
"Nonsense." Concubine Yi stood up suddenly: "Did you say that it was given to the palace for use?" What are the credentials? Even if Qian Shoucai really told you, it might just be his own groundless speculation. Who doesn't know that the queen is plastic and thrifty, and the palace concubines follow suit one by one, plus it is the period of the first emperor's funeral, and she dresses simply and unpretentiously. With so much silver, how can the main palace be used? ”
Lan Xin heard it clearly, and couldn't help but smile: "Why should Concubine Yi be angry." This matter can be seen clearly, and it is precisely because there is a sign that the silver was sent to the palace and given to you, but you have not used it or hidden it, that it makes people feel strange. Moreover, every word in their mouths can be traced. This palace will not casually find inconsequential people and frame you with empty words.
So concubine, if you admit it now, you may be able to save your life. Otherwise...... How serious the crime of poisoning the imperial heir is, you yourself could not be clearer. ”
Xue Guining saw that the queen had finished asking the two, and wanted to lead the people to retreat.
Who knew that Qian Jun actually risked death and climbed two steps forward, crying: "The emperor, the queen's mother, the uncle of the grass people died unjustly." He must have been killed, and the grass people dared to ask for a strict investigation of the matter and justice for his uncle. ”
"Go ahead, the emperor is wise and wise, and he will definitely not let the deceased be wronged." Lan Xin's lenient words are not a little high-minded, but approachable, generous and kind. Listening to the warmth in people's hearts is very comfortable.
Huang Rui'e was very displeased, she was too lazy to talk to the queen, she walked forward and walked in front of the emperor before kneeling down slowly. "Your Majesty, the concubines respect the queen very much, and they do not have the slightest disrespect for the queen in private. But the concubine didn't understand what the queen said, what it meant.
The dragon fetus of the noble Xiu was killed by the sinner Chen family, and it had nothing to do with the concubine at all. Since she has already admitted it, how can she blame the concubine. Rui'e's innocence must not be suspected for no reason. Please ask the emperor to confront the Chen family in the cold palace in front of the court, and return the innocence of the concubines. ”
"Don't worry." Hongli said calmly: "I will not wronged you. "There is a lot of perfunctory meaning between the words. Let's say that Hongli's real calculation in his heart has been determined that this matter has nothing to do with the concubine. In fact, he himself secretly ordered people to track down the origins of those who were in charge. came and went, and the doubts in his heart were no less than Lan Xin's.
It is for these reasons that Hongli deliberately snubbed Huang Rui'e. Faced with such an untrue and femme fatale woman, he can't help but think of the Queen Mother, the adoptive mother who may have taken the life of his biological mother with her own hands. "Queen, where is the Chen family, I am also interested in knowing what the truth is."
"Jinlan." Lan Xin nodded to Jinlan standing beside him, turned around again, and looked at Shang Hongli's puzzled but wise eyes: Your Majesty, the concubine has already taken the Chen family from the cold palace to Changchun Palace early in the morning, and she is waiting for the summons in the side hall at this time. ”
Come prepared. These were the words that popped into Huang Rui'e's mind for a moment, and she chuckled in her heart. The queen even received Chen Qingqing from the palace, so she must have known something. When she was flustered, she couldn't help but glance outside the hall, but she didn't notice any trace of Cailan. This is strange, where did Cailan go?
Could it be that she knew something early on, but she didn't tell the truth...... suffered, it must have been bought by the queen.
Huang Rui'e was so frightened that she almost jumped up, and the palms of her hands were also sweaty. But after thinking about it, things are so clean and neat, important witnesses think that they are doing things for the Chen family, how can the queen find clues about herself? Such fear made it difficult for Huang Rui'e to calm down, and she thought back and forth about what she had miscalculated.
But before he could think clearly, Chen Qingqing had already walked in behind Jinlan.
"The emperor is blessed with Jin'an, and the queen is auspicious." Chen Qingqing saluted as before, as if he hadn't seen the face of the emperor for some time, revealing his life, but the rules were good. It seems that this month's hard work in the cold palace has not exhausted her heart. When that's the case, there's nothing wrong with that.
"Chen Changzai, I ask you, did you plan to poison the dragon fetus of Xiuguiren?" As soon as Hongli opened his mouth, he expressed the doubts in his heart.
It seems that this question has been asked before, but Chen Qingqing has long since remembered how he answered at that time. First denied, then admitted, or admitted at the beginning. After all, Chen Qingqing clearly remembered that the emperor did not trust him. If you trust, why ask. It's just that at this point, the emperor still doesn't trust herself, and she doesn't say a word except for laughing discouragedly.
Huang Rui'e was scared in her heart, but she had to show righteousness and strictness on her face, and immediately attacked Chen Qingqing: "Chen Chang is here, and this palace also wants to know, why have you already recognized the dragon fetus that poisoned the noble people before, and now in front of the emperor and queen, you want to deny it?" Even if you're a villain who goes back on your word, you shouldn't shift the blame to this palace.
You must know what a terrible frame it is to poison the emperor's heir, this palace has no grudge against you in the past and no enmity in the near future, why do you want to harm me like this. Who instructed you to talk back, in front of the emperor, you must say it clearly. ”
Chen Qingqing weighed the words of the concubine, and there was no too obvious leakage of thoughts. She just knelt lightly, just lowered her eyebrows and listened obediently, but it was just a faint end like ice and snow under the scorching sun, which would eventually melt and evaporate.
"Chen Chang is here." Lan Xin called her a little impatiently. Knowing what she was thinking, she didn't want to affect the person she liked. "It's not true, but I'm afraid that the people you want to save in the end will also suffer because of you. For both reason, you should tell the truth and stop being obsessed. Think of the poor child in the womb of the noble man. ”
Huang Rui'e touched the jade pendant in her sleeve, she didn't know if she should drop it again at this time. At this moment, Chen Qingqing is holding her own life with one hand and the life of her sweetheart with the other, which is more important, will she really divide it?
"Concubine." Lan Xin had already sensed her thoughts: "That jade pendant rests on her body, I'm afraid it's also hot." If you want to take it out, take it out as soon as possible. ”
This sentence shocked Huang Rui'e's eyes twitched, and the skin on her face was stiff and couldn't move.
However, Huang Rui'e had not knelt on the ground yet, but Chen Qingqing was afraid that the queen would say something that should not be said, so she knelt down with a bang. "Your Majesty, the queen's mother, the concubine is wronged, and the concubine has never planned to show the nobleman's dragon fetus. My father's sleeves are clean, and the family is just a simple life, where do the concubines have such a large sum of money and buy so many expensive people? ”
"Why didn't you say it last time?" Huang Rui'e broke the jar and broke it, and said coldly: "The taste of the cold palace is probably uncomfortable, so you want to come out and hurt people, right?" There is still a glimmer of life, and people are always selfish and plan for themselves first. It's ridiculous. Huang Rui'e was heartbroken and wept: "Could it be that the concubine's mother's family is rich, and the concubine has to do evil." Chen Changzai's father, can't he use the official money to clear the obstacles in the palace for his daughter? ”
Chen Qingqing suddenly stood up, ignoring the surprised gaze of the emperor and queen, and went straight to the concubine, and said sharply: "What Niangniang said is really good, clear the obstacles in the palace, and even the father of the concubine will not escape the involvement." How many people do you want to kill because of your selfishness and your cruelty? ”
"What did you say?" Huang Rui'e glared at Chen Qingqing's gloomy cheeks angrily, not afraid at all: "What evidence do you have?" ”
"Evidence." Chen Qingqing sneered, turned his head to the emperor and said, "The concubine has ironclad evidence like a mountain, which can prove that the concubine is the culprit who murdered the emperor's heir." Not only that, but the concubines can also prove that the person who makes the dragon robe privately and wants to blame Gao Lingxi is the concubine Huang. ”
