Chapter 280: Elaboration
When the eunuch brought the three people up, the eyes of the emperor and the second prince looked at the faces of the concubines, and then they sharply noticed that when a few people saw the three people, their faces instantly turned pale.
The eunuch pressed the three men down in front of the emperor and made them kneel.
The three of them knelt down tremblingly, kowtowed and shouted: "Slaves see the emperor, see the queen, see the masters." ”
The second prince paced to the three of them, looked at them condescendingly, and said in a cold voice: "You should know what I asked people to bring you up for, right?" ”
One of the three eunuchs said timidly: "Yes, the slave knows." ”
The second prince said: "Then tell me everything you know." ”
"Yes......" Following the order of the second prince, the three of them began to explain what they knew one by one.
And as they spoke, the emperor's face became more and more gloomy, the queen was even more shocked, and the concubines who were standing were all shocked-
"Nonsense!" The first to hold back was the highest-ranking concubine among the concubines, she trembled and pointed at the three people kneeling on the ground, and shouted sharply, "You guys are talking nonsense! ”
The three of them put their heads on the ground and said in fear: "The minions don't dare to talk nonsense, what the minions say is true, and there is no deception!" ”
"That's not right!" The concubine shouted, she looked at the emperor in panic, "Your Majesty, they are lying!" Concubines don't! ”
"None? So what are these? The emperor angrily threw the scroll in his hand at the concubine, and directly smashed the concubine in the face!
The concubine cried out in pain, but her hands still hurriedly caught the scroll and opened it in her hand. When she saw what was described above, her face turned pale in an instant, and she sat on the ground unsteadily.
She trembled her lips and looked up at the angry emperor, and then looked at the second prince with disbelief and even some resentment - blame him! If it weren't for him, it wouldn't be like this! She really underestimated him! I originally thought that he was just a ten-year-old child and couldn't make any big waves, but when I saw that he hadn't made any moves, I relaxed my vigilance, but I didn't expect that everything was just his appearance! He had secretly investigated everything quietly!
When the second prince saw her gaze, he unabashedly hooked a mocking and provocative smile at the corner of his mouth!
What did the scroll handed over to the emperor by the second prince write? What did the three palace maids and eunuchs say?
It turned out that the scroll and what the three palace maids and eunuchs wrote were all the truth about Concubine Chun back then!
Back then, Concubine Chun was framed for having an affair with a guard, Fang Chen'an, and even the child in her womb was suspected of not being a dragon, and was finally buried in a fire! But all that! It's all a conspiracy orchestrated by someone else! Slander! And the murderer is this group of concubines who were brought to Fengyi Palace!
That's right! Almost half of the harem was involved in the matter of Concubine Chun back then! They teamed up to murder Concubine Chun!
Back then, they planned for a long time, and even bought off the henchmen around Concubine Chun early, at the beginning, those henchmen were indeed not easy to be bought, but as long as they were individuals, they would have weaknesses, and as long as they caught their weaknesses, then they would naturally be used by them!
So after the emperor went to the summer resort, they began to implement the plan!
first asked Fang Chen'an to Concubine Chun's palace in the name of Concubine Chun, and then staged a so-called "catch rape" scene, and then created many witnesses, so that when the emperor comes back, everything will be a foregone conclusion! They even bought off the imperial doctor of the year!
Everyone thought that in such a "conclusive" situation, the emperor would definitely be angry and execute Concubine Chun, and then snub the second prince and the third prince! And as long as Concubine Chun is dead, then no one will monopolize the emperor's favor anymore!
But they never expected that the emperor would be so fond of Concubine Chun, even if everyone pointed out that Concubine Chun had an affair with Fang Chen'an, the emperor still believed in Concubine Chun, and did not immediately execute her, but just imprisoned her in the palace, saying that he wanted to continue to investigate carefully!
This made the concubines and concubines extremely jealous, and at the same time scared to the extreme. They were worried that if the emperor investigated in person, they would inevitably find some flaws or clues, so they set a fire in Concubine Chun's palace and buried Concubine Chun and the child in her womb on the fire!
In the past three years, the second prince has hidden the hatred of avenging his mother and concubine, and he has been holding back, but he is slowly investigating in secret, and he finally spent three years finding out the truth with his hatred and trust in Concubine Chun!
He presented the evidence to the emperor one by one, not only that, but in the process of interrogation, he took out a lot of evidence, which made the concubine and others unable to justify, and even brought out Fang Chenan and other people who were imprisoned in prison that year, and even brought their families up.
With their families threatened, Fang Chenan and the others finally told the truth about their betrayal of Concubine Chun three years ago because they were bribed or threatened.
The third prince was listening, and his eyes were torn, and he pounced on them and beat them, screaming as he beat them: "In vain for my mother's concubine to treat you so sincerely, you actually persecuted her together with others!" You bad guys! Villain! ”
Those henchmen who were concubines were also crying bitterly because of remorse and guilt at this time.
All the evidence was presented in the main hall, and even if the concubines and other concubines wanted to defend themselves, they were powerless, so they could only kneel on the ground and cry over and over again begging the emperor to spare their lives.
And the second prince just knelt on the ground with an indifferent face, and was deeply defeated by the emperor, and said to the emperor in a hoarse voice: "Erchen begs his father to pay off the innocence of the year for Erchen's mother, and seek justice for her!" ”
When the emperor heard the truth of the year, his eyes were already red, and he thought that the concubine he loved so much was killed under the persecution of such a group of people and the child in his womb, he was furious, and he did not waver at all in the face of this group of people's begging for mercy.
Hearing the words of the second prince, he said in a dumb voice: "Don't worry, my father will definitely get justice for your mother!" Come! The last two words were shouted outside the hall.
"Your Majesty!" Soon, the guards who were waiting outside walked in, clasped their fists and shouted respectfully.
The emperor: "Take all these people down to me, and they will be punished tomorrow!" "A group of concubines didn't even want to let them go.
"Father!" The second prince suddenly shouted.
