Chapter 158: Chu Tingchuan entered the palace to intercede
Chu Tingchuan didn't believe that Mo Liang would do such a thing, so after Mo Liang was arrested, he asked his secret guard to tell Chu Xuhua about it, and he himself immediately entered the palace to find out what was going on.
After Chu Xuhua knew about this matter, he hurried into the palace, he just suggested that Mo Liang not get too close to Chu Changge yesterday, but he didn't expect that such a thing would happen today. He knew then that things would not be so simple, and sure enough, the next day something like this happened.
After Chu Xuhua entered the palace, Chu Tingchuan was already in the palace of the emperor of Chu. He didn't believe that Mo Liang would do such a thing, so he had to find out. If Mo Liang was wronged in vain like this, how could he, Chu Tingchuan, be able to endure it? Someone must have wanted to frame Mo Liang and achieve his goal.
When Chu Tingchuan arrived at the emperor's bedroom, the queen was already in the palace, crying breathlessly, pear blossoms with rain, although the queen was already old, but even so, it was still charming. Therefore, it looks so pitiful.
The emperor was comforting the queen on the side, that Chu Changge and Nangong Yun'er had been together for two or three years, and finally had an heir, but he didn't expect that this Princess Ning'er had just been born not long ago, and she would die like this.
Chu Tingchuan had already arrived outside the door of the palace, and the eunuch knocked on the door of the palace gently, and said to the emperor inside in a shrill voice, "Master, His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince has already asked to see him outside the door." When the emperor heard this, although the empress was still here, he thought about it again and again, and decided to see Chu Tingchuan, "Let him come in." ”
"Yes." After the eunuch answered, he hurriedly turned around and said to Chu Tingchuan that the emperor had allowed him to ask to see him, and then, the eunuch slowly pushed the door of the palace open, Chu Tingchuan walked in with a serious expression, and happened to see the queen crying on the side.
Although the queen was crying at this time, the rouge on her face had been spent, and the pair of red lips were so pale that there was no blood, but even if Chu Tingchuan saw the queen with such pear blossoms and rain, he did not have any pity for the queen. He concluded that this queen must have designed to frame Mo Liang, because Mo Liang would not do such a reckless thing.
"Erchen has seen his father and the queen." Although it was at such a time, Chu Tingchuan still did not forget the etiquette. In fact, he can call the queen "queen mother", but he has never called the queen like this. Because, he knows, the death of his mother has a lot to do with the queen, although he does not have any evidence.
If it weren't for the fact that he was still young at that time and didn't have his own power, he would definitely find out about this matter. However, after he had the ability, so many years had passed, and the queen had already wiped all the traces of that time, even if he Chu Tingchuan had the heart to investigate thoroughly, there were no clues to be found.
The queen had long known in her heart that Chu Tingchuan would definitely come to the palace immediately to ask to see the emperor, so she had been crying here for a long time in order to express her grievances. She knew that all the doubts now pointed to Mo Liang, even if Mo Liang wanted to exonerate, it would be very difficult. Even this Chu Tingchuan, I'm afraid that at this time, he will not be able to return to the sky.
Anyway, the queen knew that Mo Liang must be dead this time. This is her purpose, doesn't this Chu Tingchuan like that Mo Liang, she just gets rid of this Mo Liang and sees how this Chu Tingchuan will react. Sure enough, this Chu Tingchuan's attention to Mo Liang is not the slightest bit, Mo Liang has just been imprisoned, and Chu Tingchuan immediately entered the palace to ask clearly.
"Father, the son doesn't understand, why Mo Liang killed Ning'er." Chu Tingchuan actually didn't understand, but he could only say this now. After all, he still doesn't know what happened, and he doesn't have any basis, there is no evidence, and the queen is here, so he can naturally refute his words casually, so he will understand what happened first.
"That Mo Liang killed Ning Er, the evidence is already conclusive, so I sent the Royal Forest Army to capture her back and put her in the prison, could it be that Wu'er, do you have any opinions?" The emperor was very dissatisfied with Mo Liang when he heard the queen's aggrieved cry, and now when he heard that Chu Tingchuan was actually preparing to intercede for Mo Liang, he was naturally faintly dissatisfied, and his tone changed.
But even so, Chu Tingchuan didn't intend to retreat half a cent, "Father, the son doesn't understand what is going on now, if the father doesn't give the son an explanation, the son will definitely not be convinced." "For Mo Liang, killing Ning'er has no benefit at all, there is no need for her to kill Ning'er at all, it's just that someone wants to frame her.
When the emperor heard this, seeing the queen crying like this, he must not be able to explain what happened to Chu Tingchuan, so he had to explain what happened to Chu Tingchuan. But before the emperor could speak, the eunuch outside the palace door interrupted him, "Master, the seventh prince is asking to see him outside the door." Chu Xuhua also rushed over.
The emperor knew that this Chu Xuhua had always been in and out with Chu Tingchuan, and now that Chu Tingchuan's concubine Mo Liang had such a big thing, it was impossible for Chu Xuhua not to know. Moreover, this Chu Xuhua also rushed to the palace quickly.
The Emperor frowned slightly, and said, "Let him in." After the eunuch answered again, it didn't take long for the door of the palace to be opened, Chu Xuhua walked in quickly, and saluted the emperor and the empress, "Erchen has seen his father and the queen." For the queen, Chu Xuhua didn't have such an intimate title.
Chu Tingchuan raised his eyes and looked at Chu Xuhua, both of them knew the meaning of each other's eyes, and they knew it in their hearts, and they planned to listen to what was going on together. I saw that Chu Xuhua was also sitting beside Chu Tingchuan.
Chu Tingchuan saw that Chu Xuhua was also coming, so he said to the emperor, "It just so happens that the seventh brother is also here, please ask my father to tell the ins and outs of the matter to his sons, otherwise, his sons will not believe that Mo Liang will do such a thing." ”
When the queen heard Chu Tingchuan say that she didn't believe that Mo Liang would do such a thing, her emotions suddenly became excited, and she didn't care about her image at all, and the queen who was so virtuous and virtuous in the past didn't know where she was thrown away. She yelled hysterically at Chu Tingchuan, "Now you are still speaking for her, she killed Ning Er, this is conclusive evidence, what else do you defend her." ”
The Emperor didn't seem to expect the Empress to suddenly roar out like that. But thinking that she was heartbroken now, he also understood her state of mind at the moment, so he had to comfort her in a soft tone, "Okay, queen, don't be so sad." ”
Although he was yelled at by the queen like this, Chu Tingchuan's expression did not change in the slightest, he was still so serious, looking at the emperor and the queen, and said lightly, "Erchen still hopes that his father and the queen can tell the ins and outs of the matter to Erchen, even if the queen mother says that the evidence is conclusive now, Erchen still has the right to know what happened." ”
How could he let Mo Liang be wronged like that, if he didn't investigate this matter thoroughly, wouldn't Mo Liang be killed by this queen? He, Chu Tingchuan, would never allow such a thing to happen.
Seeing that Chu Tingchuan was so persistent, and Chu Xuhua on the side was still waiting without saying a word, the emperor knew that he must tell the ins and outs of the whole thing well, otherwise this Wu'er would never give up.
Of course, the ins and outs of what the emperor said were all told to him by the empress, as for whether it is credible or not, of course, only Chu Tingchuan and Chu Xuhua can judge by themselves. However, Chu Tingchuan and Chu Xuhua also knew that this was something that could never be believed.
After listening to what happened, Chu Tingchuan knew, indeed, all the doubts pointed to Mo Liang, as if everyone had the feeling that it must be Mo Liang who killed Princess Ning'er. However, no one saw how all this happened, and only when the queen entered Nangong Yun'er's bedroom afterwards did she find that Ning Er had already lost her breath.
Even so, Chu Tingchuan would not be so convinced that the matter was Mo Liang's hand, but now he really didn't have any evidence, just saying it verbally, it would only attract the queen's anger and his father's disgust. Therefore, after Chu Tingchuan knew what had happened, he said with a serious expression, "Father, the son still asks for a thorough investigation of this matter. ”
"Investigate thoroughly, that Mo Liang has committed such a heinous crime, and you still want to exonerate her?" The queen felt angry again, and she had already pointed at Mo Liang so obviously, what else did this Chu Tingchuan have to investigate thoroughly! However, Chu Tingchuan insisted on finding out clearly, "Queen Mother, Erchen feels that this matter is still suspicious, so he has to find out." ”
Chu Xuhua, who had been silent on the side, suddenly said lightly, "Erchen also feels that there are still some doubts in this matter that need to be discussed. "If this matter is really like this, if the queen executes Mo Liang like this, then it is really powerless.
The emperor also felt that there was no doubt about this matter, so he faintly disagreed with Chu Tingchuan and Chu Xuhua's request to find out about this matter, "This matter is clear and clear, that is, it is pointed out that it is Mo Liang, what else is there to investigate." ”
As soon as Chu Tingchuan heard what his father said this, he knew that this queen didn't know what she had said to her father before, so that her father decided that Mo Liang was the murderer. In this case, there may really be no way to ask for clarification of this matter.
Originally, when Chu Tingchuan and Chu Xuhua were still worried about how to persuade their father and the emperor to let them find out about this matter, suddenly the door of the palace was opened, and they saw the empress dowager walk in, and said with a majestic look, "The mourning family said that there are indeed many doubts in this matter, so it should be investigated." ”
