Chapter 437: The Shen Family Falls
"Do you still have to quibble?" Mo Guhan asked angrily: "I have already investigated, it was the same person who instructed the eunuch Qian Jin to hand over the embroidery thread to Yuehua, and the assassination of Lin Gonggong, and she used the Hun Tiangang Qi. This Heavenly Gang Qi was a secret of martial arts back then, but not everyone could practice two-handed small grappling.
And it just so happens that the assassin who obeyed the orders of you and Shen Xincai and sneaked into the palace to assassinate Yuehua would also be angry, which can be seen to be a nest of snakes and rats. Now that you have admitted that you were the Assassins, you should have thought that this matter would also be revealed. ”
"Ling'er doesn't know what the hell is going on, Ling'er only knows, and she really hasn't done it."
"As far as you're concerned, it's not much of a difference whether it's more or less."
Ling'er pleaded guilty, and Ling'er admitted that the assassin who assassinated Chu Yuehua that day was indeed instigated by me, but the female assassin who assassinated Gonggong Lin did not know about it, and it was impossible for Ling'er to collude with the Bloody Hall and endanger the Jiangshan Society of Chang'an. What the concubine said is true, Your Majesty, someone really deliberately framed the concubine and wanted to put me to death. ”
"Do you think I'll believe it?" Mo Guhan looked at her with a twinkle in his eyes, and questioned: "You are already a capital crime, why should others do this more?" ”
Concubine Ling was already in tears: "Could it be that even the last bit of trust, the emperor doesn't bother to leave it to Ling'er?" ”
Mo Guhan bent down, stared at Concubine Ling's eyes, suddenly raised his hand, pinched her delicate chin, and said word by word: "Give me a reason to trust you." ”
Concubine Ling's jaw ached, and her tears became more and more turbulent: "Is the relationship between you and me in the past few years a reason?" ”
"Not counting!" Mo Guhan said categorically: "The emotions of these years have been exhausted in your arrogance and wantonness. ”
"I have confessed so many sins, what else do I dare not admit? But the emperor, the concubine really hasn't done it. I've been in the deep palace for a long time, and I've been with you since I was fifteen years old, how do I get in touch with what Bloody Hall? ”
"I believe that you didn't have a chance to contact the killer, but you did it anyway!"
As soon as Mo Guhan shook his hand, Concubine Ling's body was crooked, and she fell to the ground. The veil on her head was not tightly fastened, and immediately slipped down, revealing a bald patch on the top of her head.
She was at a loss to cover up, in a hurry, and very embarrassed.
In front of Mo Guhan, she has never been so embarrassed. Even if it's crying, it's pear blossoms with rain, and I think it's the most pitiful posture.
Mo Guhan looked at her condescendingly, his eyes were cold, without the slightest pity.
"What you have done, death is not a pity! It's disgusting! ”
Concubine Ling's hand was stunned, she was annoyed and scared, and finally couldn't help but collapse and cry.
"Say, where did you hide the female assassin? Who is the master of the Blood Hall? ”
Concubine Ling shook her head in a mess and couldn't cry: "No, really not!" The concubine doesn't know. ”
"I interrogated you alone, just to leave you with the last bit of affection, do you have to let the people of Shen Xingsi and Zongren Ling intervene and torture you to extract a confession?"
Concubine Ling burst into tears, and begged in a mournful voice: "No, Your Majesty, Ling'er knows that she is wrong, Ling'er will never dare to do it again in the future, please spare Ling'er?" ”
Mo Guhan looked down at Concubine Ling who was prostrate on the ground in disgust, his eyes were cold to the bone, and he squeezed out three words from between his teeth: "Impossible!" ”
Behind the screen in the hall, there was a leisurely sigh, with a desolate light trembling.
Concubine Ling suddenly felt like an amnesty, and kneeled forward: "Aunt Huang, Aunt Huang, save Ling'er." ”
The Queen Mother walked out from behind the screen and looked at Concubine Ling who was mourning and begging, resentful, disappointed, and disgusted, which made her deeply hateful: "It is in vain that the mourning family loves you like that, and treats you as if you were your own daughter, but you actually did such an unsightly pickled thing." What face do you have to beg me? ”
Concubine Ling grabbed the hem of the queen mother's clothes and cried bitterly: "Ling'er is just confused for a while, Aunt Huang, please forgive Ling'er." ”
The Queen Mother waved her hand away: "It's late!" Now that the entire Shen family has been destroyed in your hands, you have become the eternal sinner of the Shen family! The mourning family really hates themselves, when you made a mistake for the first time, the mourning family should not have left that face and protected you, so that you fell deeper and deeper, and finally had the audacity to do such a rebellious thing! ”
Concubine Ling wiped the tears on her face: "I really know that I was wrong, Aunt Huang, leave Ling'er alive, right?" ”
"If you really know what you are wrong, you should confess truthfully and atone for your sins. Mourning your family protects you. ”
Concubine Ling couldn't help but sobbed and shook her head: "Maybe there is indeed some connection between the two assassins, but Ling Er really didn't collude with the Blood Hall. Aunt Huang, if Ling'er dares to have half a lie, the sky will thunder and split, and the five horses will be divided, and they will not die well! ”
The Queen Mother hesitated and looked at Mo Guhan: "Your Majesty, is there really any misunderstanding?" ”
Mo Guhan saw that the Queen Mother was soft-hearted after all, and it was useless to say more, and she wanted to argue again, so she snorted coldly and walked out of the Qianqing Palace without looking back.
Concubine Ling hugged the Queen Mother's legs: "Aunt Huang, what should Ling'er do?" ”
The Queen Mother sighed deeply: "I knew today, why bother at the beginning, Ling'er, colluding with the Blood Hall is not trivial, and now the imperial aunt can't protect you." Either you don't admit it to death, or you confess all your sins and keep your father and brother, so you can do it yourself. ”
The Shen family also fell, and the two most prominent families in the Chang'an court, the Chang family and the Shen family, all fell one after another like buildings.
Shao Ziqing personally investigated the Shen family's collusion with the Blood Hall, but did not ask any clues, but Concubine Ling Guifei colluded with the Blood Hall and conspired against the queen several times.
Concubine Ling lost half of her hair overnight and became inhuman.
She calmly walked out of the Jiaofang Hall and told the guards outside the door: "Tell the emperor, I have confessed everything." ”
She took all the blame for herself, including collusion with the Bloodshed. However, she is still silent about the identity and whereabouts of the female assassin.
Shen Shilang didn't know anything about everything, and was always kept in the dark, after all, he was sentenced lightly because of the relationship between the queen mother, and his family was exiled to the bitter cold land in the northwest.
The collapse of the Shen family represents the reorganization of the pattern of forming parties and running private interests in the Chang'an court.
The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, except for Shao Ziqing and Chu Mubai, no one knew what the reason was, the emperor would be furious and mercilessly eradicate the Shen family.
The news of Concubine Ling and Shi Yunhai's affair was kept secret, and no outsiders even knew about it in the palace.
The palace people only knew that Concubine Ling was imprisoned in Qianxi No. 4 after being convicted of buying murder, colluding with bandits, and plotting against the queen.
This is still the emperor's mercy, saying that the law of Chang'an is not as guilty as the fetus, and before Concubine Ling gives birth, the capital crime will not be pursued for the time being.
Concubine Ling was about to give birth, and the palace people whispered, saying that she had finally taken advantage of the light that was pregnant with the dragon. But turning over, it is already impossible.
Since the fall of the Shen family, the Queen Mother has rarely stepped out of the Ruian Palace, and she is bored in the palace alone, silent, sullen, and no longer as arrogant as before.
She ordered Rongfu to send the seal of the harem directly to the Qingqiu Palace, and no longer interfered in the affairs of the harem.
Yuehua used the excuse of taking care of the children and had no time to separate, so she came to the door again and again to ask the Queen Mother to take charge of the harem. The Queen Mother avoided it.
Yuehua is in charge of all the trivial chores of the entire Hou Mansion in the Hou Mansion, and the management of the harem is like a housekeeper, she is handy, and she is not scared, but now, it is not the time to take over the power.
She took matters into her own hands and handled them in an orderly manner. In a big event, even if he tried to deal with it appropriately, he deliberately took the opposite idea and instructed the steward to go to the Ruian Palace to return to him.
The Queen Mother has been her heart for more than ten years, how can she let go of the burden? At first, he held the shelf and refused to squeak, but then he couldn't help it, so he pointed his fingers and said different ideas.
It's just that she still refuses to see Yuehua and repeatedly refuses to leave.
Hui'er and Rui'er laughed in the blink of an eye, and the "giggle" sound made people's hearts itch, and they couldn't wait to take them into their arms and kiss them fiercely. The crystal clear, really powder-carved jade face is also completely stretched, and the eyebrows and eyes are becoming more and more vivid.
Especially Rui'er, as long as someone teases her, she will "giggle" and laugh non-stop, waving her short, fat, jade lotus-like little arms and legs, dancing with her hands. Once you leave someone, you will hum and chirp unhappily.
Hui'er is much calmer, rarely crying, as if she consciously shared everyone's favor with her sister. He lies in the crib, even if he is bored to gnaw his fingers, spit bubbles repeatedly, and amuse himself, he will not play like Rui'er.
It is said that crying children have milk to eat, and Rui'er's temperament provokes everyone even more, and when she begins to respond with "uh-huh", she makes everyone laugh.
Yuehua ordered Shui You to hold Rui'er, Tan Ruo to hold Hui'er, and went straight to Rui'an Palace.
In the Ruian Palace, the Queen Mother sat in front of the window in a daze, her relaxed eyes drooping, covering the gloom and loneliness at the bottom of her eyes. Sitting for a long time, drowsy.
Rong Fu came in quietly, with joy on his face: "Queen Mother, Queen Mother came with two princes and princesses, and asked to see her outside the palace." ”
The Queen Mother's body was shocked, she raised her head suddenly, looked out the window, and said busily: "If you don't see it, you can say that the mourning family is still unwell." ”
Rong Fu sighed softly: "Queen Mother, why bother? The old slave knows that you miss the little prince and the little princess. ”
The Queen Mother stroked her sideburns and was a little flustered: "Why are you talking so much today?" If you don't see it, you won't see it, and I'll go back quickly. ”
At the gate of Ruian Palace, several mothers-in-law in the palace were surrounded and praised.
She distinctly heard the "giggle" laughter of a child, so pleasant, like a silver bell, that she wanted to see through it.
Rong Fu wanted to speak and stopped, but after all, he didn't dare to disobey and went out to pass on the order.
