"If there is no doubter, then listen to my conclusion."

Xuan Ye motioned for Wei Yangji to take out the evidence found in the morning, and said, "This morning, a palace maid named Li Yu died in the imperial garden. It was the old man of Kunning Palace that I met during my southern tour. She lied that she was the palace maid poet next to Empress Renxiao, and her appearance was similar to the poetry of the year, remembering that she had served Empress Renxiao once, and seeing that she was lonely and helpless, and her life was miserable, I took her back to the palace. Later, I learned that Shiyu was Du Changzai's own sister, so she arranged to wait in Changchun Palace, and the two sisters could also be together for a long time. But I was still not at ease in my heart, so I inquired carefully, and finally learned that Shiyu had been killed when Empress Renxiao died. I have also seen the cemetery of Shiyu with my own eyes, and after examination, I found that Shiyu was indeed dead that year. Li Yu is just a wilderness village woman, an impostor. This was a capital offense, and now that it is gone this morning, I don't want to pursue it anymore. However, this matter involved Du Changzai and Jing nobles, and I had to pay attention to it. After a detailed investigation of the cause of Li Yu's death, Wei Yang ......"

Xuan Ye commanded, and Wei Yangji immediately walked to the center of the hall to reply: "According to the autopsy, it was found that Li Yu's death was an accident. In the pool where she died, an altar was found, which was empty but had once filled with water. Condensed ice was found at the bottom of the jar, and there was a charcoal stove next to it. According to the situation at the scene, it was the object that Li Yu brought by himself last night. found witnesses to prove that Li Yu had indeed been in contact with these two things. ”

"Since someone didn't deliberately murder her, how did she die in the pool so well?" Na La Yanhui was puzzled, in fact, everyone sitting was puzzled, but she was the first to ask everyone's doubts.

"Back to Concubine Hui's words, Li Yu hanged herself." Wei Yangji took out new evidence and showed it to everyone: "This is what was found in Li Yu's room, and these packed bags show that she once wanted to escape from the palace, perhaps because she found that she couldn't escape, so she chose to hang herself." In the Imperial Garden, traces of the original ice in the pond were found. It should be Li Yu who dug up the ice, stood in it by himself, and poured hot water on his body, the hot water met the cold temperature last night, and quickly condensed into ice, and Li Yu was frozen to death in the pool. ”

These words are full of loopholes, and those who understand them are aware of the impossibilities inside, but they still dare not speak out and doubt them. If you don't understand, you feel that Wei Yangji's words are the truth of the matter.

"I found out Li Yu's identity a few days ago, and I haven't taken any action to deal with her, so she will take the first step." Xuan Ye's face was not red and his heart was not beating when he lied: "Maybe it was Jing Guiren who found out about this and was noticed by Li Yu, so Li Yu bought Rong Xuan." Li Yu thought that in a fit of anger, I would immediately dispose of Jing Guiren, so that her secret could be preserved. However, Jing Guiren was just beaten into the cold palace by me. After thinking about it for a few days, she couldn't escape, so she chose to hang herself. ”

There's nothing wrong with this explanation, but it always feels wrong. But there was something else in mind. Since Xuan Ye had already known the truth about Li Yu's death and understood the reason, why didn't he say it earlier?

"So, this matter is led by Li Yu?" Na La Yanhui was a little dissatisfied with this result and said in a low voice.

"Li Yu first deceived me and entered the palace as an old man. Now, seeing that the matter is about to be revealed, the Jing nobles are humiliated. Li Yu's self-determination is not enough to vent his anger. I have already instructed the people of the Punishment Division to whip Li Yu's corpse. Xuan Ye's voice sounded so gentle, but the words he said were like knives, which made the people present faintly painful.

Whipping corpses, this is the most cruel criminal law for the dead.

"Today afternoon, the eunuchs of the palace leaders, including the chief eunuch of the Qianqing Palace and the chief eunuch of the Jingshi Room, all went to the Shen Criminal Division to take a look. In the future, whoever dares to murder the master and deceive the master will end up like this. Xuan Ye's later words made the already nervous heart even more uneasy.

With such a cruel picture in my mind, I felt a little like vomiting. Many concubines have covered their mouths and noses with handkerchiefs, and they are sick to their stomachs. The timid ones are already in tears at this time, and they will be scared to cry at any time.

was nauseated, and saw Liang Jiugong's voice coming from the door: "Your Majesty, the old lady who was sent to the cold palace to check on the Jing nobles is here." ”

"Bring it in." Xuan Ye commanded in a low voice.

After the old lady came in, she noticed that the atmosphere was not right, so she didn't dare to say much, so she knelt down and kowtowed: "The old slave sees the emperor, and I see all the ladies and little masters." ”

"Did I get you done?" Xuan Ye asked.

The old lady nodded and said, "Back to the emperor, the old slave has already checked and understood." It was also examined with several experienced grandmothers. Jing Guiren is still a virgin. The skin of the whole body was like snow, only there was a pinching on the arm, and there was a bruise on the head, and there were no other traces. ”

Xuan Ye was very satisfied with this answer, nodded, and motioned for the old lady to go down first.

"Now that the truth is revealed, Jing Guiren was stunned by Rong Xuan, and when I found it, I ripped Jing Guiren's clothes, making everyone mistakenly think that Jing Guiren was having an affair with him." Xuan Ye said with a calm face: "Blaspheming the harem concubines is a capital crime. I gave him five days to confess, but he lied and deceived his superiors and subordinates, and it was still a capital offense. Immediately, he was tortured, and before he was dead, he was thrown into a mass grave and let the crows peck at his flesh. Send someone to help, and you must see the crow peck at all his corpses before he can come back to his life. Among them, if anyone is lazy and slack, he will be beaten to death immediately. ”

Xuan Ye's words shocked everyone. Today's execution shows Xuan Ye's anger. Dealt with these people, and said it in front of so many people, just to give them a wake-up call.

No one would have thought that they would end up with no bones left, but the harem has always been the law of the jungle. If you are not strong, you can only be slaughtered by others.

There were many doubts in my heart, but no one dared to question them. Xuan Ye has already made an order, and the matter is over. If anyone mentions it again, they are deliberately against Xuan Ye.

For Tong Ruofei, such a result is also good. Although he did not drag Du Ruo into the water, it completely let Tong Ruohua withdraw from this matter. Even if Chun Xi and the others were suspicious, but there was no evidence, Xuan Ye would not think about it again.

For Chunxi, her purpose is to let Du Ruo jump out of the trap set by others, and then let Jing Guiren get out of the cold palace innocently. Now, the goal has been achieved, and naturally everything is fine.

Sure enough, I heard Xuan Ye say again: "In this matter, Jing Guiren was also framed and suffered such an insult, so take her out of the cold palace immediately." Jing Guiren has always been closer to Concubine Yi, so Concubine Yi took Du Changzai to go with her. ”

"The concubine obeys." Chun Xi bowed slightly and responded.

"That's the end of it." Xuan Ye stood up and ordered: "In the future, whoever dares to talk about it again will immediately gouge out his tongue and send him to the Shen Criminal Division for punishment." ”

After speaking, Xuan Ye was about to look outside, and when he arrived at the door, he looked back at Tong Ruofei, who was still kneeling on the ground, and said seriously: "Since the imperial concubine feels that Yun Guifei has the right to assist in the six palaces, she must do a good job in assisting the six palaces, so after Yun Guifei recovers from her illness, you can decide after asking her opinion on big and small things." ”

Tong Ruofei was stunned, and his head was buzzing. In this way, where is she still in charge of the six palaces and in charge of the affairs of the harem, it is clear that she is assisting Yunyue in her affairs.

Chun Xi also glanced at Tong Ruofei, went to the door again, and when she passed by Du Ruo, she gave her a look, and Du Ruo immediately followed.

The two walked beside Xuan Ye one left and one right, and walked out of the gate of Chengqian Palace together.

"Mother." Seeing Xuan Ye and them leaving, Lian Xue immediately stepped forward to help Tong Ruofei up. Who knows, Tong Ruofei knelt for a long time, and when he was helped up, he didn't stand firm and fell out again. Fortunately, Lan Xin was quick and helped her up.

"Mother, be careful." Lan Xin and Lianxue helped Tong Ruofei sit down, and Lianxue squatted down and rubbed Tong Ruofei's knees.

"Bothering you." Tong Ruofei held Lan Xin's hand, seriously tired and grateful.

"Here's what I'm supposed to do." Lan Xin whispered back.

"Let's all disperse." Tong Ruofei turned his head and said weakly to the people below who still didn't dare to move.

Today's face can be regarded as a loss, in front of the concubines, she has been kneeling alone for so long. Xuan Ye reprimanded in public and took her power. In the future, when these people come to Chengqian Palace to discuss matters, will they all think of today. I'm afraid that from now on, no one can really fear her and respect her.

Tong Ruofei was depressed in her heart, but when she raised her eyes, she saw that in the huge hall, Tong Ruohua was still sitting there alone, looking at her lost soul. Tong Ruofei was even more annoyed, and opened his mouth and roared: "Today, it's time to learn a long lesson?" Do mischief, do things recklessly, and let this palace clean up the mess for you? Now, seeing that this palace is humiliated, are you satisfied? ”

Tong Ruohua looked up, dazed and at a loss. She was indeed frightened by Xuan Ye's series of dispositions, and the woman in the boudoir had never even heard of those cruel methods.

Tong Ruofei saw that she was still wooden, and his heart was even more angry: "Send the noble people back to the dormitory, don't come to the palace again during this time, the palace is very bored." ”

Tong Ruohua was taken away, and Lian Xue rubbed her knees for Tong Ruofei and said, "Niangniang, it's good that the matter ends like this." If Li Yu hadn't died, he would have found out about this matter, and he didn't know how much of a crime he would have suffered. ”

Tong Ruofei naturally understood, sighed, and said hatefully: "Bengong never thought that the one sent in by the family not only couldn't help Bengong, but asked Bengong to clean up the mess for her and protect her." ”

Tong Ruofei's helplessness was not understood by Tong Ruohua. Her step-by-step crisis, but in the eyes of others, it is a supreme glory.
