Chapter 289: Suspicions

As soon as the words fell, there was another cry for mercy.

With He Zhou's eyesight, he naturally recognized that those grandmothers were guarding outside the cold palace, and finally mobilized the guards to search for Nanqi and the others.

He Zhou said, "What about the transfer of guards?"

The queen said, "When they saw that the matter was exposed, they didn't do anything, and under the pretense of the palace, they mobilized the guards to harm the eldest princess, but fortunately, the eldest princess was fine, and this matter was the palace's negligence, and they were willing to be punished by His Majesty." ”

The emperor listened to her defense, but he was also half-convinced, after the Zheng family fell, the queen had already privately cleared the Zheng family's power, how could there be the Zheng family's remnants around her.

He simply asked Yi Ning, "Yi Ning, you are simple-minded and have no harmful intentions, you tell me, why do you want to lead the eldest princess out?"

Yining lowered his head, a tangled look flashed in his eyes, and looked up at everyone.

"Erchen heard that the eldest princess wanted Erchen to marry into Qin, Erchen was unwilling, and the grandmother beside the queen mother taught Erchen to lead the eldest princess out, find a place to talk about it, the eldest princess is reasonable, she should consider changing people, if not, scare and scare the eldest princess, so that she will extinguish the heart of marriage. ”

Nan Qi said, "Then before you talk to the eldest princess, what did the queen mother say to you." ”

Yi Ning knelt there trembling, and said with a crying voice, "The queen mother said that the eldest princess had just arrived, and let Yi Ning accompany the eldest princess more, it was Yi Ning's selfishness, and she almost hurt the eldest princess, Yi Ning didn't know that the grandmother was Concubine Zheng's person, and she had bad intentions, eldest princess, you forgive me, I didn't mean to." ”

According to what they said, the beginning and end of the matter was that the grandmother installed by the Zheng family took the opportunity to instigate Yining and lead the eldest princess into a trap, and then the grandmother used the queen's power to frame the eldest princess, and then blamed the queen, and finally avenged the Zheng family.

It seems that the logic is clear, but the eldest princess will not easily believe this statement, the person who can sit firmly on the throne of the queen and get rid of the biggest opponent can make the people around her so calculating? Yi Ning definitely didn't tell the truth.

The eldest princess was annoyed in her heart, confused by Yining's innocence, and looked at Yining angrily, "Where was Princess Yining taken by someone? Why did you give me that kind of medicine again, and who gave you the solution to your medicinal properties?"

Everyone knows what she means by medicine, and this game is clearly to frame the eldest princess.

Sister Yan and others would not have been involved, but Nanqi wanted to save the eldest princess, so save it, and the role of the eldest princess in the alliance between the two countries could not be ignored, the regent wrote privately, saying that he would hand over all the rights of the alliance to the eldest princess sister and brother, and the regent was already thinking about handing over power, and most of the future affairs would be decided by the two sisters and brothers, so the eldest princess Yu Gong could not have an accident.

For a banquet, the queen can set up two bureaus to harm the Xie family on the one hand, and seek the eldest princess on the other, if she can hit the queen, this matter is not impossible to interfere in.

Yi Ning cried, "Eldest princess, I didn't mean to, I don't know why, after I was taken away by them, I was thrown into another cold palace, where there were their comrades, wanting to insult Yi Ning, fortunately they didn't have the courage to do this, Yi Ning took the opportunity to persuade them to turn back, in order to lure them, they turned back in time, and took the opportunity to send Yi Ning back to Yong'an Palace." ”

As he spoke, he pulled back his sleeves, and there were several wounds and blood stains on his bread, "Yining can only save his reason by self-harm, eldest princess, I really didn't know that they would harm you like this." ”

The queen walked to Yining's side, untied the gauze, and the bloody wound was presented in front of everyone, and the queen couldn't bear to look away.

The emperor was also shocked, after all, it was his own daughter, she had never suffered hardship, she didn't expect to be injured like this, and she had already believed it in her heart.

"Wrap it up quickly, don't bleed. ”

The queen shook her hands and rewrapped the wound, "The concubine also heard that someone reported the matter, so she ignored the banquet and returned to the palace to report her illness. ”

The eldest princess looked at the fatherly and maternal love of their family of three, and her heart was cold, and she completely lost her original envy.

"Who is the man who is guarding there waiting for?"

Nan Qi said, "When Sister Yan played, in addition to the eldest princess, Yining, me and Hezhou, and His Royal Highness King Ling went out. ”

The queen's eyes burned, "What do you want to say?"

The eldest princess said, "In the end, tonight is just the words of the queen's mother's family, and anyone who is suspicious should not be let go, His Royal Highness the King of Ling has a noble status, and he should lead by example, after all, the clear will clear himself." ”

The emperor's head is getting better and better, and this matter can't but be resolved, "King Xuanling is here." ”

The princes are still in the palace and have not left, waiting for the banquet to disperse, and then continue to have a good time with the emperor in private, who knows that something went wrong, they are still waiting in the palace.

The unknown King Ling was called, and the queen thought that it was fortunate that he would not be too reluctant, so she did not tell him, so as to clear him of suspicion.

King Ling saw that there were many people in the main hall, and he was puzzled, and he saw that Yining's face was full of tears, the queen's face was sad, and the expressions of the others were even more indescribable, knowing that something must have happened, "Father, mother." ”

The emperor nodded and said to Concubine Qiong, "Ai Fei, I have a splitting headache, quickly get the medicine for me." ”

Concubine Qiong knew that there was no way to go wrong now, let alone let the queen take advantage of the loophole, so she quietly took out a pill from her sleeve, and sent the medicine into the emperor's mouth when she was appeased and fed water.

King Ling asked, "What's the matter?" The eldest princess is not well entertained by my Chu Kingdom. ”

The eldest princess didn't want to repeat the words again.

King Ling was not angry, but asked Yi Ning instead, "What's wrong with Yi Ning, why are you crying so sadly? Who bullied you." ”

Saying that, he walked to Yining's side, ready to comfort her and rub her face, but accidentally touched Yining's arm, Yining subconsciously put his arm away, and whispered pain in his mouth.

King Ling's face changed, he grabbed her hand, lifted his sleeves, and saw the distress in his eyes that were stained red with blood, which did not seem to be fake.

"Who did this. ”

As he spoke, he raised his eyes and scanned everyone, and everyone only felt that his eyes were as sharp as knives, and it seemed that he really loved this sister.

Naturally, everyone would not answer him, Yi Ning stretched out his other hand to hold his brother, and recounted the matter while sobbing, King Ling looked fiercely at the grandmother on the ground, as if he was looking at a dead person.

With the mind of King Ling, how could he not guess the catty in it, Yi Ning is afraid that what he said is just a prevarication, but now he can only cooperate with them.

The emperor calmed down for a while, the pill took effect, and he felt a little more comfortable, so he asked King Ling, "What are you doing when Sister Yan is playing?"

"Back to the father, the son has something to say to Gong Luo, the queen mother doesn't like Gong Luo, recently the father and queen mother are thinking about choosing a concubine for the son, the son can not marry Gong Luo as a concubine, when Miss Xie played, no one paid attention, and the son and Gong Luo met and talked in private, asking for forgiveness from the father. ”

The emperor said in his heart, no wonder the queen looked reluctant to say more, presumably because she didn't want King Ling to bear the reputation of private teaching, it seems that King Ling really doesn't know about these things.

Let what they say seamlessly, the people in the palace, I'm afraid only the emperor believes it, or he has to believe it, if it is confirmed that the queen of Chu and the prince framed the eldest princess of Qin, then how will Chu and Qin get along in the future.

The eldest princess also knows this layer, so she is wronged and wants to make a big fuss, Chu seeks an alliance, and Qin is not, the strength of Chu is obvious to all, the power of one country has resisted the two countries for hundreds of years, and the more they fight, the stronger they become, the Qin State is not as good as Chu, Shang, and Jin, and one of the three kingdoms, so it is natural to seek a way to protect themselves.

But this doesn't mean that you have to let go of the mastermind behind the scenes, the queen's mother and son cooperated tacitly, and they found a way to shirk it so quickly, but the more this is the case, the more angry the eldest princess becomes, if she doesn't punish them by the hand of Emperor Chu, how can she seek justice as an outsider.

The emperor wanted to fool the past, but seeing that although the eldest princess was pale, her expression was condensed, and she obviously refused to let it go easily.

For a time, there was a stalemate in front of the temple.

King Ling saw that Yining's face was ugly, so he pleaded, "Yining has an injury on her body, please allow her to go back to recuperate first." ”

Yi Ning raised her eyes and looked at the eldest princess who also looked ugly, and shook her head gently, "It was the eldest princess who was injured and frightened by Yi Ning, how could Yi Ning leave first." ”

Although the emperor felt sorry for Yining, the eldest princess was also injured, and she was still stubbornly asking for an explanation here, so it was difficult to say anything, and she was trying to find an excuse to send everyone away first.

Xie Ling stepped forward and said, "There are many suspicious points in this case, and there are many people involved, so it is better for Your Majesty to hand over this matter to the ministers to investigate, and definitely give an explanation to the eldest princess." ”

The emperor knew that with Xie Ling's ability, it would not be difficult to find out about this matter, but if the results of the investigation were disappointing, how would the royal family of Chu State deal with itself? With Xie Ling's temper, he might not be able to help the empress and others cover it up.

When she was embarrassed, the queen said, "This case is already clear, Lord Xie pointed out the suspicious points out of thin air, forget it, the matter related to the palace curtain, how can you have a foreign minister to investigate." ”

Xie Ling smiled indifferently.

Because, the eldest princess also spoke, "In this case, the queen must have a clear conscience, Yun Mei came to celebrate her birthday sincerely, but she was humiliated by this, and she didn't want to affect the diplomatic relations between the two countries, but she didn't want to let go of a person who plotted to kill Yun Mei, so please Your Majesty investigate thoroughly." ”

"Moreover, Lord Xie is a foreign minister, but Nan Shizi is a relative of the emperor and often goes in and out of the palace, Yun Mei believes in his character, and he must be upright, please Your Majesty grant Yun Mei's request and let Nan Shizi investigate this matter thoroughly. ”

rejected Xie Ling, the foreign minister, can still refuse Nan Qi now, as long as he is allowed to check, there will definitely be gains, the eldest princess has unconsciously regarded Nan Qi as her own.

Nan Qi smiled bitterly, saving a person, I can't pull it off, okay, save people to the end, just help the eldest princess vent her anger, and it is okay to be separated from the queen.

The emperor thought that Nan Qi was better than Xie Ling, after all, it was his own family, and some words could still be explained, and the eldest princess was unwilling to let go, and there was no way.

No matter how unwilling the queen is, she does not dare to fall into the reputation of destroying the diplomatic relations between the two countries, although she still has to investigate, but as long as she operates a little more, she can still cover up the past.

The emperor clapped his hands and said, "Then let Nan Qi investigate, assign you three hundred palace guards, give an explanation to the eldest princess within three days, and find out the rest of the Zheng family." ”

Nan Qi stood up in embarrassment, "Uncle is too embarrassed. ”

"Yu Dang can give you a few days of leniency, and this case cannot be delayed. ”

This is a hint that this matter was done by the Zheng family's Yu party.
