Two hundred and twenty-four, the arrow off the string
Chapter 223: The Arrow from the String
"The emperor's kindness, Qiyun will always remember it!" I knelt on the ground, knowing that this time was the most emotional time for Kangxi, and it was also the best time for me to intercede: "Qiyun doesn't dare to deceive the emperor, Qiyun is here, and he really has something to ask for!" ”
"Say!" The tenderness in his eyes flashed, and Kangxi returned to his former imperial nature.
"Qiyun met a show girl in this draft in the palace, and Qiyun felt very close to her, but now she is pressed in the Internal Affairs Office because of an unclear murder case, and Qiyun asks the emperor for grace......"
"Now that the person has been sent to the Internal Affairs Bureau, and the people from the Internal Affairs Office will handle it impartially, you can rest assured, can't you still trust your own uncle?" Kangxi really did as Zhang Tingyu expected, and he would not bother to care about the life or death of a show girl at all.
"This case was not tried by my uncle, but by Cui Gonggong, who was next to Concubine Yi." I added a sentence at the right time - the life or death of a show girl is nothing at all, but the issue of palace fighting in the harem is a big deal. A small case was actually intervened by Concubine Yi herself, which naturally aroused Kangxi's interest: "Qiyun understands Chenxi's personality, she is unlikely to commit murder, Qiyun is not partial, but Father-in-law Cui has not yet said hello and will be punished first, Qiyun, Qiyun is afraid of ......"
I raised my head and looked at this king, who had almost the power of life and death in the entire capital and even the entire Qing Dynasty: "I, I'm afraid that the case will be delayed, but it will let the real people with bad intentions take advantage of the loopholes!" ”
"Well said!" Kangxi glanced at me, "But is this really your intention?" ”
"......" I looked at Kangxi with trepidation, this emperor who can see everything - yes, this is not my intention, I saved Chenxi, just so that I don't owe her affection, and I can fight with her in the future, but my thoughts, can I say? Anyway, as a top machismo Kangxi, can you understand?
"Qiyun doesn't dare to deceive the emperor, and the emperor also likes the morning light, seventeen he-seventeen he ......" tears slipped down, how do I say this. How can I say it: "I also mentioned it to my concubine, saying that Dawn Xiu is smart and cute...... The concubine came here, and she wanted to ask the emperor to marry Chenxi as a side blessing for Seventeen, but she couldn't think of it—but she couldn't think of it......"
The arrow is off the string, so I have to send it, but this arrow, can I still take it back? What other reason can I have to stop Dawn from marrying into the Seventeenth Elder Brother's Mansion?
Dawn, you're so smart, you're afraid you've already thought of this, right?
You are forcing me, forcing me to accept you, forcing me to fulfill you, forcing me to go to this step of self-destruction of the Great Wall, but I have never found a reason to blame you......
I'm betting - if you had thought of all this, if you had figured it out earlier, then my future opponent would be terrible...... Brother Seventeen, I'm really not sure anymore, can I still have you again......
"You're so virtuous!" This sentence is not a compliment, and in this context, it is even more ironic!
"Qiyun begs Emperor Ama to be fulfilled!" Since I married Seventeen, I have always called Kangxi the emperor except on the night of the wedding—that is because I don't want to admit that I am also part of the royal family, and I have never recognized this political marriage. But now, I'm really in love with Seventeen, and he's finally my father-in-law—and now, I want to beg him to fulfill as a daughter-in-law.
"Since it is a homicide case, then send it to the Criminal Department for retrial, if you are not at ease, you can go to the trial." After Kangxi finished speaking, he sighed, shook his head and left this peony garden, leaving me still kneeling in this fiery red peony - Your Majesty, I know you want me to be happy, along with my aunt's, with my sister's, together with happiness!
It's just that in this era, it's too difficult to say happiness, you are the emperor, the king of a country, and you can't get what you want, let alone me from an unknown origin and a lowly background?
Lobby of the Criminal Department
I have seen on TV what is called a three-hall trial, but this is the first time I have sat in the hall and experienced what a three-hall trial is on the spot.
The presiding judge is Emperor Kangxi's confidant Lord Oro Dai, and the other two, one is Chen Xi's maternal uncle Zhang Tingyu, and the other is the Shaoqing of Dali Temple I met in the public court last time.
"Bold criminal, the existing people are accusing you of killing the current show girl Nala in the back garden of the palace, and now the evidence is there, and you still don't admit your guilt!"
"My lord, there is no way that Dawn will kill the Nala clan, I have never lived with her at all, how can I take such a big risk to kill her? My lord! "Although Chenxi's hair is disheveled, and her clothes are not as bright as the last time I saw her, her spirit seems to be okay, and it should be that sixteen thousand taels of silver have done the trick.
"Bold! You still dare to deny it, come here, give me a big punishment! ”
"Your Excellency!" I got up from the chair next to me - I thought that I had begged the emperor and that the matter would be foolproof. However, contrary to my expectations, Lord Oro Dai was like having a grudge against Dawn, and he actually had the momentum of only Dawn to death.
"Fujin has something to say, please say!" Thankfully, the Oro Dai is still willing to listen to me.
"The human evidence is just a few unknown eunuchs and palace maids, and the physical evidence is just a headdress, and there are many people in the palace, how can it be proved...... "Any case pays attention to motives, and how can people be convicted if the evidence is incomplete?"
"What Fu Jin said is, so the secret behind this curtain has to rely on this girl to come out!" Oro Dai saluted me, turned to the official and said, "You still don't want to do it for me!" ”
"Your Excellency!" I found that it was impossible for Oro Dai to listen to me at all, so I was so anxious that I desperately glanced at Chenxi - a hero doesn't suffer immediate losses, I can think of a way again, but at the moment, she has to recruit if she doesn't recruit, it's better to ......
Unexpectedly, Chenxi closed her eyes and avoided my gaze: "My lord, I have nothing to say......
"Dawn, you ...... "You are so smart, how can you make such a low-level mistake?" The court is not a place for you to play your personality!
Seeing that Chenxi was about to be beaten into a trick, I immediately turned my head and prayed to Zhang Tingyu with my eyes—Master Zhang, you are resourceful, and Chenxi is your niece! "Lord Zhang, you speak, Lord Zhang! Master Zhang! ”
"Fujin, although Chenxi is my niece, I can't be partial, so I'd better leave it to Lord E according to the rules of the imperial court!"
"Master Zhang, why are you ......" I pointed at Zhang Tingyu with trembling fingers, I couldn't believe that as an elder, he would actually say such heartless words!
"Fujin!" Dawn stopped me: "Don't force my uncle anymore, he has no choice!" Fujin's great kindness, Chenxi has thanked me here, but Chenxi is afraid that there is no such blessing that you can follow your master from now on! ”
"Dawn?" I didn't expect it to be her who stopped me? This woman, whom I never understood, once again did something unbelievable to me.
"Please don't meddle in Chenxi's case again!" Dawn opened her eyes, and her originally optimistic face was now full of despair......
"Dawn, hold on, wait for me! Wait for me! I glared at Zhang Tingyu one last time, and finally ran out of the lobby without looking back: "Prepare the horse, I want to face the saint, I want to face the saint!" ”
