Su Rao's appearance as a witness to Concubine Jin's framing of Bai Qige was very surprising, and Bai Qige was not surprised when she heard the conclusive perjury from her mouth.

Since she chose to stand on the enemy's side, she must make up lies that are enough to make people unable to doubt her "crimes", and what Su Rao said is not all lies, she did go out at night with Concubine Jing and others behind her back, but those Yi Chenjing knew about it and never took it to heart.

"This matter can be explained." Yi Chenjing looked at Emperor Yao, and his gaze didn't linger on Su Rao, "Qige was not in good health some time ago, but thanks to Jin Zhaoyi's care, the relationship is naturally closer than others." Recently, my father was busy with the expedition and rarely went to see Jin Zhaoyi, Qige was afraid that she would be alone and only in a bad mood, so she discussed with her sons and went there to accompany her for a few nights, and the ministers knew about these things. ”

Emperor Yao nodded thoughtfully: "I have also heard Jin Zhaoyi mention that the princess of the Seventh Prince has an upright character, and she values love and righteousness, and she has untied her heart knots, and it is normal for the two of them to move around often." There is also the fact that the princess and the prince seem to be intimate, the prince explained to me just now, and if you want to blame, you have to blame the prince for being casual and indiscriminate, and it has nothing to do with the princess. In my opinion, any private meeting in the middle of the night is a remark with ulterior motives by young people. ”

The two sentences refuted Su Rao so much that she had nothing to say, and she almost put herself in, and the plain hands in front of her kept trembling. Bai Qige and Yi Chenjing glanced at each other and quickly staggered their gazes.

As long as Emperor Yao is favoritic, no one can say that the white is black. Listening to Emperor Yao's tone, it was clear that he was protecting Bai Qige, thinking that this turmoil would not be too serious, Yi Chenjing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time couldn't help but be surprised - he pretended to mention Bai Qige's name inadvertently after presenting the draft of the weapon, but he didn't expect that the seemingly careless father and emperor had already paid so much attention to her, should it be said a blessing or a curse? Forcibly accepting the prince's subordinates and concubines to fill in the harem This kind of thing is not that the father has never done it, he doesn't want Bai Qige to follow in the footsteps of those women, and become a white-haired concubine in the lonely harem who is depressed all day long and looks forward to her luck.

"Jing'er? What are you thinking so distracted that you can't even hear me ask you? ”

"It's nothing, it may be that I have slept a little in a trance these days, don't blame my father." Interrupted by Emperor Yao's slightly raised volume, Yi Chenjing suddenly found that his two fists were actually clenched tightly, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

The father is the father, the emperor is the emperor, and if the Son of Heaven dares to behave disrespectfully, even if it is the prince and the crown prince, he will not escape the guilt. It's just that...... It's just that he really can't help but worry, what if Bai Qige is really favored by his father? To put it, or not to put it?

Seeing that Yi Chenjing didn't know why she was entangled and troubled, Concubine Jin looked confident again, Bai Qige had to plan for herself. bowed slightly and saluted Concubine Jin, Bai Qige's voice was calm, and she sounded calm: "Concubine Jin Niangniang just said that the human and physical evidence is complete, and now the human evidence has been determined to be false, I don't know what the physical evidence is?" ”

"Take out anything you find." Concubine Jin didn't answer with a calm face, and her anger was sprinkled on the two palace maids who came with Su Rao. The two palace maids hung their heads and trembled and held a few things in front of Concubine Jin, and after raising their eyebrows and reading them, Concubine Jin put the things on the square table again, squinted at Bai Qige and sneered: "The princess keeps shouting grievances, what are these things?" Your Majesty, take a look, what kind of obscene words and songs are written on this jade bone fan covered with the prince's seal? If it is innocent, how can the princess hide it? There is also this peach blossom note, the rice paper is delicately dyed, the fragrance of flowers is on the face, and the content of the writing is simply unsightly! ”

Emperor Yao picked up the jade bone fan and looked at the letter again, his brows gradually furrowed, obviously disgusted by the words written on it, but the tone was still towards Bai Qige: "The prince is playful by nature, and he chants more poems on weekdays, and it is not surprising that there are three or five things that have been raised and lost. I still don't understand, Concubine Jin said that this letter was written by the princess, is there any evidence? ”

"Absolutely. The emperor checked these to see if the handwriting was exactly the same? Pushing a few pages of rice paper full of handwriting in front of Emperor Yao, Concubine Jin raised her chin proudly, and her tone was full of imperceptible viciousness, "These pages were collected from the princess's room, and the same handwriting is enough to prove that this letter was written by the princess herself." ”

Bai Qige gasped, her eyes fixed on the table.

The words on those pages were indeed written by her hand when she was reading a book, and she usually put them in the inner hall, and it was not strange to be searched by those two palace maids, but the strange thing was that the letterhead, no one knew better than Bai Qige herself that she had never written that kind of thing, and where did the so-called unsightly love letter come from with the same handwriting in front of her?

The prince was even more breathless than Bai Qige, his eyes were confused, he hurriedly walked to the couch to look at the letter, and half-opened his mouth in surprise for a long time before he lost his voice and said: "I haven't seen this letter at all!" ”

"No one would admit it." Concubine Jin shrugged.

Yi Chenjing made a look, Bai Qige understood, stepped forward and took the letterhead and compared it word by word with the rice paper, and sure enough, he found something strange.

There are very few words on the letterhead, and the sentence reads with a far-fetched feeling, and the words in the letter can be found in those pages of rice paper, Bai Qige knew that this was a forged love letter written by someone who deliberately imitated her handwriting. It is a pity that this discovery cannot be used as evidence to clear the charge, and like the statement in the letter, it is too far-fetched to draw conclusions based on speculation alone, and it is difficult to convince the public. It's really hard for someone who wants to frame her, to be able to imitate the handwriting to such an extent, I'm afraid even Bai Qige herself will sigh to herself.

There is no need to open his mouth to tell him, Bai Qige's reaction has already told Yi Chenjing the result, and after a moment of silence, Yi Chenjing suddenly smiled, his expression was calm: "First of all, whether the letter was written by Qige to the imperial brother or not, I want to ask Concubine Jin a few words - did these evidences have been obtained a long time ago or were they just collected?" If you got it a long time ago, then how did you get it? Could it be that there are your eyes and ears among the people of the East Palace? The father and the emperor are most disgusted with the secret struggle in the harem, and the concubine will not be unaware. If it was just searched, it would be even more unreasonable, before you had this evidence, you were sure that Qi Ge had an affair with the imperial brother and then ambushed and caught the adulterer, and the two palace maids just brought the evidence to you, and you were very sure which one came from where, could there be an unknown prophet? ”

"Hongu ...... Bengong ......, "Concubine Jin stammered and wanted to quibble, but the loopholes that Yi Chenjing picked out could be fatal to her, and she was powerless to refute at all."

On the one hand, there is an undoubted love letter, and on the other hand, there are many mistakes in Concubine Jin's words, and Emperor Yao has the intention to favor Bai Qige, but he can't ignore the peach blossom letterhead. You must know that the harem is trivial and looks like a small matter, but in fact it is a big matter, not to mention that Concubine Jin's brother is the prime minister of Dayao Zuo, who has been an official for nearly 20 years, and his protégés are everywhere and his foundation is solid, and if you want to ignore the evidence and punish Concubine Jin alone, it will inevitably attract Prime Minister Zuo and his henchmen to mess around in the previous dynasty.

Knocking on the corner of his forehead heavily, Emperor Yao looked tired and showed an old look, and his tone was a lot tired: "Okay, I have a headache from you." Someone came, first take the princess to the palace and lock her up, and no one should visit without a decree from me until the matter is completely investigated; Concubine Jin's words are not necessarily immoral, and she will not be punished for the time being when she has contributed countless contributions to the wind of the six palaces in the past, but she is not allowed to take half a step out of the Wandai Palace within three months, and she will copy a volume of scriptures every day to purify her heart. This matter was mainly caused by the crown prince, who also had to be grounded and copy scriptures, and the number of volumes was twice that of the concubine. Seeing that Concubine Jin and the crown prince seemed to be dissatisfied, Emperor Yao lowered his face, and his tone was cold and hard: "Who will say more before finding out the truth, be careful that your identity is not guaranteed." ”

Leaving the heavy words behind, even the prince didn't dare to say more.

Forget the palace is the cold palace where the emperor imprisoned the concubines in the past, and now it is used to house the concubines who made mistakes, the environment is not bad, but there are no guards to take care of it, and only a few old, weak, sick and disabled eunuchs to clean. Yi Chenjing was worried that someone would take this opportunity to assassinate Bai Qige, and seeing Bai Qige and the others leave behind Gonggong Tao, a trace of impatience overflowed in his eyes.

"Jing'er, you stay and talk to me." Emperor Yao beckoned, his tone softened a lot, and after removing Long Wei, he also had some kind aura as a father.

Yi Chenjing didn't want to stay longer, but the emperor's order was difficult, no matter how dissatisfied he was, he could only stand in front of the couch, but his eyes drifted to the side and had nothing to do.

"I know that you complained about how I treated your mother and son back then, to tell you from the heart, since the day I couldn't see your mother and son in front of me, my heart has never been settled, and I can't even sleep peacefully." With a sigh of vicissitudes, Emperor Yao looked more and more old, and there was a trace of cloudiness in his eyes, "Jing'er, don't blame me for not seeing the reason, your princess is wronged, I know it, but this country is not able to understand who is right and who is wrong, if I don't punish her today, she will suffer more and suffer more sins in the future - just like your mother back then." ”

"It's not wrong for my father to do anything, it's her stupidity to step into someone else's trap, no wonder others."

Emperor Yao smiled dumbly, and Yi Chenjing's heart was clear. That was the son whose temperament was closest to his, how could he not understand? It's just that this son doesn't understand him.

The calloused hand that had held the reins for a long time knocked on the tabletop, and the eunuch on the side understood that he would hurriedly send the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and the emperor pointed to the inkstone, and looked at Yi Chenjing with wrinkled eyes: "Grind." No matter how ruthless you are, you have to make an exception for your face, who made you my son. ”

Yi Chenjing didn't understand what Emperor Yao's words meant, and he didn't want to understand, now that his heart was full of Bai Qige, how could he have the heart to think about anything else? Grinding silently with a calm face, he was still studying until the edict was written, and his hand shook when the edict was thrown and flew into his arms, and the thick black ink splashed all over the light-colored robe.

"Take it, remember not to let people see it, or someone will have to say that I am biased towards you."

glanced at Emperor Yao in confusion, unfolded the edict, and Yi Chenjing's hazy face finally couldn't help but show a bright color.

Helplessly, the smile bloomed, and Emperor Da Yao, who was over the age of six, looked at the young face that looked like but did not look like himself, and the love in his eyes was endless: "With my hand, you can go to see her at any time, which will not let you suffer from the separation of husband and wife and can ensure that she is temporarily away from the power struggle, this time you are not angry, right?" ”

Yi Chenjing put away the edict, and his complicated eyes followed Emperor Yao's every move, and he had mixed feelings in his heart.

Perhaps, the man in front of him who should be called his father but has never made him feel the slightest bit of fatherly love is smarter than him, otherwise how could he tell him what is on his mind?

As long as Bai Qige was out of his control, he would feel uneasy.
