Chapter 208: Ironclad Evidence
The atmosphere above the court was silent, and because of the momentum that suddenly erupted from the Wuchen County Lord, no one dared to speak.
Chu Nian glanced at Shen Dui stubbornly, Shen Dui's face had already turned purple at this moment, after all, he came here with the intention of winning before he went out, but who would have thought that Chu Nian would have the support of the princes behind him?
What's more, the Wuchen County Lord actually committed perjury for Chu Nian? This matter is a big deal, and now if Chu Nian is really pulled off the horse, won't the princes be both prosperous and lossy with Chu Nian?
The princes' death-defying counterattack is much more terrifying than Chu Nian alone!
The Empress Dowager at the top said: "Cough, the county lord of Wuchen naturally won't lie, so who killed Shen Erniang?" β
Seeing that the prince gathered to help Chu Nian speak, the queen mother did not dare to offend the prince easily, so she had to hide the gloom on her face, and her eyes swept over everyone present.
This is, Chu Niancai said meaningfully: "Maybe there are really assassins in Qingshan Temple?" My entourage also disappeared in Qingshan Temple, Princess Mingqiao said, that day my entourage was helping the queen mother to diagnose the disease, but was captured by a person with a golden mask, as a result, I was going to get medicine for the queen mother, but was stopped by Shen Erniang, I had a conflict with Shen Erniang, think about it, this matter is more like someone deliberately. β
Chu Nian's words are thought-provoking, so it is true that there are some inexplicable connections before and after the matter.
There was a whisper in the hall, but no one dared to raise it openly.
The Queen Mother looked at Chu Nian's meaningful appearance, and couldn't help grinding her back molars, but she still said "impartially": "Then according to what Nian'er said, but there is such a thing?" Princess Mingqiao, if this matter is indeed deliberate, the mourning family will not be spared! β
Not long after, Mingqiao, who had already been prepared, was called into the hall, and today she seemed to be dressed as if she had been specially arranged by Concubine Ling - a light blue skirt, with ink hair scattered behind her, and a few decent silver hairpins on her head.
Chu Nian raised her eyebrows, it seems that Concubine Ling knew the seriousness of this time, and deliberately asked Ming Qiao to restrain her appearance like a wild girl on weekdays, and now as a princess out of the palace to testify, what she said was even more convincing.
"I've seen the emperor's grandmother, my father's emperor."
Seeing Ming Qiao's rare and gentle appearance, the Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction: "Ming Qiao, do you know what happened when the mourning family summoned you today?" β
Ming Qiao's eyes looked at his nose and nose, pretending to be blind to the tense momentum in the hall, and said obediently: "Grandson knows." β
The Queen Mother said slowly: "Then tell me, what happened that day?" β
Hearing the sound, Ming Qiao seemed to think for a while, before frowning and saying: "The queen mother suddenly ate poison that day, Mr. Wu and I and the third emperor sister heard the news, so we immediately rushed over, but when we arrived, the queen mother was already dying, Mr. Wu immediately wanted to detoxify the queen mother, and asked the third emperor sister to invite the Wushuang county lord to come over, who knew that the third emperor sister had just left, and Mr. Wu ......"
She raised her head and seemed to glance at the Queen Mother cautiously, seeing that the Queen Mother was a little gloomy, she slightly hid the gloating at the corners of her mouth, and continued: "At this time, a man with a golden mask came in from outside the house and grabbed Mr. Wu. β
Ming Qiao took great pains to lift the sleeves on his arms, and suddenly, a large bruise appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
Everyone gasped: "This assassin is really bold, not to mention robbing the attendants of the unequaled county lord, and daring to hurt the princess?" β
King Huainan added fuel to the fire at the right time, and he stroked his short beard and looked at the Queen Mother meaningfully: "To have such courage, presumably his master is not a small person." β
The Queen Mother turned a deaf ear to King Huainan's ridicule, she turned her eyes and looked at Ming Qiao with concern, "Yo, Qiao'er, did you ask your mother to find someone to show you the wound?" β
Ming Qiao carefully covered up the wound again, nodded and said, "The mother concubine summoned Imperial Physician Ye for her grandson, and Imperial Physician Ye prescribed some ointment to her grandson, saying that it was no big deal. β
The Queen Mother seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, "That's good." After a while, she frowned again and said sternly: "If the mourning family finds out who the golden-faced man is, the mourning family will definitely punish him severely!" β
His Royal Highness's Chu Nian and Ming Qiao both sneered in their hearts, and until now, the Queen Mother is still pretending to be confused.
The King of Huainan on the side looked at Chu Nian as if asking, and got a positive look from Chu Nian, and immediately gloated at the Queen Mother and said, "Speaking of which, the golden-faced man ...... It seems that the last time this king passed by Cining Palace, he also saw a strange golden-faced person, princess, what are the characteristics of the golden-faced person? β
Hearing this, the Queen Mother's body shook suddenly, and she turned her eyes to look at Ming Qiao with a faint threat in her eyes.
Of course she knew that Ming Qiao knew Dark Rin, she sent someone to keep an eye on Dark Rin, of course she knew about the things that Dark Rin often went to negotiate with Chu Nian, since Dark Rin knew Chu Nian, how could Ming Qiao not know about Dark Rin?
The people in this room are pretending to be confused, all to wait for her to show her feet!
Ignoring the threatening gaze of the Queen Mother, Ming Qiao seemed to fall into deep thought, and after a while, she raised her head and looked at King Huainan and said: "That golden-faced man is impressive, although the outfit is mysterious, but those gray-white eyes, but there are few in the world. β
"Gray-white eyes?" King Huainan pretended to be surprised and said, "If this king is not mistaken, the last time I met that person, that person was still walking behind the Queen Mother's side Bai Mama openly. β
The queen turned blue suddenly, she had been here and the mud from the beginning, but she didn't expect that she would be in harmony with her, but in the end, she would give herself in!
Seeing the gloating expressions of the prince's faction and Chu Nian's faction, the queen mother's back molars grinded loudly, and she squinted her eyes slightly and looked at King Huainan and said, "What does King Huainan mean, all this is planned by the mourning family?" β
While the ministers whispered, King Huainan sneered, and looked at the Queen Mother fearlessly: "Queen Mother, this king has never said such a thing, it's just a suspicion, if the golden-faced man who captured the Lord of Wushuang County and killed the queen and killed Shen Erniang was not the one under the queen mother, wouldn't it be enough to call it out and confront it in the court?" β
King Wuchen pretended to be peaceful: "That's it, the Queen Mother, the imperial brother, let's take a step back and bring the golden-faced man out to take a look, if the imperial brother and Princess Mingqiao are not the same person, then there is another person, let's find clues again, isn't it?" β
Chu Nian couldn't help but applaud when he said this, and on the surface, both sides did not lose, but in fact, King Wuchen's words fell, and the Queen Mother had no reason not to call out Dark Rin to confront him in the court.
But the Queen Mother is also clear in her heart, where is there a second dark Rin in this world? But it's hard to ride a tiger......
The queen was gloomy, glared at Ming Qiao fiercely, and got an innocent look from Ming Qiao, so she turned her eyes to look at the eunuch beside her, and the eunuch understood, nodded secretly, and turned to leave.
Chu Nian stood in place and watched the Queen Mother's small movements, and smiled silently, Dark, this is the trouble you found for yourself, the post has been ordered, it depends on whether you dare to accept it.
β¦β¦
"Mr. Dark Rin, the Queen Mother has a ...... please"
The little eunuch's voice became weaker and weaker, and it was true that the person who appeared in front of him was too subversive of his usual imagination of darkness.
On weekdays, Mr. Dark Rin has always been dressed in a black robe with a golden mask, and even his eyes are stingy with more people to them, but today he appeared in front of him......
"Mr. Darken?"
"Huh? Don't recognize it? β
"No, no, sir, you're too ......"
Behind the screen were two shadows, one was standing silently, and the other was nodding and bowing, which was the little eunuch's.
"Too much?"
"The slave can't think of adjectives, so he can only say that the Queen Mother really has a vision......"
"Huh?" The man's figure moved slightly, and in the light and shadow behind the screen, the bridge of the towering nose could be faintly seen, "Don't mention this matter next time, otherwise it will ......"
The little eunuch felt a chill and suddenly shivered.
There was a chuckle from the other side, but the voice was still hoarse: "Okay, let's go, Chu Nian has gone to such great lengths, doesn't he just want to see the true face of this seat?" Then fulfill her wish and don't make her wait too much. β
On the top of the main hall, everyone waited anxiously, and King Huainan raised his eyebrows and glanced at the Queen Mother: "The Queen Mother, your subordinates, I really don't put you in my eyes, what's more, so many people in our hall are waiting for him, but he is so rubbing, this frame is really bigger than the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, don't say that this king is disrespectful to you when he is a junior, are your subordinates too arrogant by you?" β
King Huainan's gaze at the Queen Mother was too meaningful, and when others saw it, they had to guess the deep meaning of King Huainan's words, and then turned their eyes to look at the Queen Mother, and felt more and more that the recent Queen Mother's dress was not normal.
It's like the Queen Mother's outfit today, and the Concubine Chen next to her is just dressed up charmingly, after all, Concubine Chen is only in her early twenties this year, but the Queen Mother is wearing a golden hairpin, a black hair crown, a delicate willow eyebrow painting, and a lot of fat powder on her eyes, but also blush lip juice, DancΓ΄me's nails, and light pink robes, how awkward to look at.
Where is the appearance of an old man in a sixtieth birthday?
It is rumored that the Queen Mother found a Dan master who can refine the elixir, because of the relationship with the elixir, the demand in that regard seems to have recovered a little, and I heard that a few prostitutes were also raised for daily pleasures, could it be that this golden-faced man is also ......
Everyone gasped, and now that this matter was brought up on the table by King Huainan, it made them, who did not dare to speculate about the Queen Mother, more and more stupid and uneasy in their hearts.
Seeing the strange gazes of the ministers below, the Queen Mother's face suddenly sank: "Lord, you can eat indiscriminately, you can't talk nonsense, the mourning family doesn't want to be dull all day, just change into bright clothes, why does the prince have to make a big fuss about the mourning family?" Could it be that the prince fell in love with which palace maid in the mourning palace could not be successful? β
Hmph, if you say yin chaos, who can compare to you King Huainan?
However, in the face of the Queen Mother's irony, King Huainan was obviously not annoyed, he smiled and looked at the palace gate: "Yo, the Queen Mother's big subordinates have finally arrived?" β
