Chapter 390: Confession

Mrs. Ye didn't make a sound, but in his heart it was indeed as the eldest son said, as long as the Ye family was wronged, he would have to go to the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion to seek justice for his second daughter. Abandonment?

When the Ye family was in trouble, from his own point of view, it was not an exaggeration to choose to abandon his Ye family's daughter, but what about the relationship between the two families for many years?

Could it really be that with the Ye family's accident, it was cut in two?

Or did the Marquis of Weiyuan want to be greedy for his daughter's dowry, so he drove his daughter and grandsons out of the mansion in a way of abandonment?

Mrs. Ye sat back in his original position, his back against the wall, his eyelids drooped, and he snorted coldly in his heart.

His Ye Tinglan's daughter is not easy to bully!

"Grandmother...... Mother......"

Standing outside the prison door, Ye Xia distributed the buns and rice porridge in the food box to the Ye family's daughters, and at the same time took out several water bladders filled with milk and handed them in, explaining that they were for several infant children to drink.

In fact, the water bladder is not filled with milk, it is the milk powder that Ye Xia brewed in the space, and Ye Xia is not taken out of the food box, but taken out of the space under the cover of the food box.

Looking at the lady in the house with tears in her eyes, holding a bun, sitting back on the straw with rice porridge and eating it in small bites, Ye Xia felt very uncomfortable, raised her head, and forced back the tears that were about to gush out of her eyes,

Fang moved his gaze back to the white-haired grandmother and the gray-eyed mother, looking at the haggard between the two of them's eyebrows, and the tears that forced him back almost couldn't help but gush out

Xu is not Ye Xia's,

She knew that the emotions that surged up suddenly were the same as those on the male prison, and they were all instinctive reactions of the body, but then again, she could clearly perceive the strong family affection flowing in that emotion.

I could feel the pain and helplessness of the original owner when she learned that something had happened to her family before her death, and at this moment, her body was subconsciously excited, and she tried to control the tears from the corners of her eyes, but it was still to no avail.

"Good boy, don't cry, grandmother and your mother are fine, we are all fine, you see, our big guys are all fine!"

Mrs. Ye's eyes were kind, and she grabbed Ye Xia's hand and patted it gently: "Grandmother is very happy to see you here, but you have to promise grandmother not to come again, lest something happen to you, you know?" ”

Mother Ye had tears in her eyes, and nodded in agreement with Mrs. Ye's words: "Listen to your grandmother, don't come again, my mother will take care of your grandmother, we ...... We're going to be fine......"

Ye Xia burst into tears, after a while, her emotions gradually calmed down, she lowered her voice and said the words she said to Mrs. Ye in front of her, and the two in front of her.

"If it can really be like what you said, our Ye family can be regarded as a flood of blessings!"

Mrs. Ye didn't show any excitement, she patted Ye Xia's hand again, her eyes full of love revealed unconcealable wisdom: "Good boy, you have to be good, promise your grandmother, you must be good." ”

Chew these words carefully, it is difficult to hide the pessimism in them, but this is not Mrs. Ye's pessimism, it is whether the Ye family can settle their grievances and get snow, it all depends on the emperor's words. If the emperor had another idea, it would be difficult for the Ye clan to guarantee that they would not be punished according to the previous punishment. The queen was deposed, and her life in the cold palace must not be easy.

The prince was deposed, and there was a criminal minister, and he was young, whether he could grow up safely is unknown. In this way, the blood relatives who have a relationship with the Chengen Mansion also gave birth to this granddaughter, Mrs. Ye lived to be in her seventies, what do you not know?

She didn't have to think much about it, she could guess how the Marquis of Weiyuan Mansion would treat the granddaughter in front of her...... After closing her eyes, Mrs. Ye reopened a pair of wise eyes, looked at Ye Xia fixedly, and said:

"Grandmother said that if, if we can't get through this hurdle right now, you remember to find an honest man to marry, talk to each other well, and leave a ...... for our Ye family."

Ye Xia was stunned, she didn't expect the old lady to talk about her marriage.

Yes, there is no chastity archway in Daxia, and the widow said, Daxia allows widows and divorced women to remarry, even if they are abandoned by their husbands, if anyone is willing to marry, according to the laws of Daxia,

can still get married, but when Ye Xia first came to this world, even if he had a certain understanding of the laws of Daxia according to the memories left by the original owner, even if he knew that he was now an abandoned woman and single, he never thought about being emotionally involved with any man.

"Xia Xia, promise your grandmother, this is what my mother wants to say to you."

I didn't hear Ye Xia make a sound for a long time, and Mother Ye couldn't help but add a sentence on the basis of Mrs. Ye's words.

"Grandmother, if our Ye family really reaches a dead end, I promise you."

Ye Xia gave Mrs. Ye a response, however, she knew in her heart that there would not be that day, and she was even thinking that Emperor Dog had already received the confession of the prisoner submitted by the officials of Dali Temple.

As Ye Xia's voice fell, Mrs. Ye's expression was unusually moved: "Okay, that's good, grandmother is here to thank you!" ”

Holding Ye Xia's hand tightly, and patting his subordinates on the back of Ye Xia's hand, Mrs. Ye said with a loving face: "Go back, take care of yourself, don't worry too much." ”

Everything is fate, it is one to be able to keep a bloodline for the Ye family, if this stupid girl comes to this prison to visit them, these "sinners", and is accidentally seen by someone with a heart, she will fall into the same situation as them. "Listen to your grandmother, go back, and stay safe on the road."

Mother Ye wiped the corners of her eyes and helped Mrs. Ye to sit back on the straw laid against the wall.

Looking at the emaciated and slightly rickety figures of his grandmother and mother, Ye Xia looked quietly for a while, picked up the empty food box on the ground, raised his head to force back the tears that were about to well-up in his eyes again, pursed his lips and said, "Believe me, this prison disaster will soon pass!" ”

In fact, as Ye Xia said, the officials of Dali Temple were shocked as soon as they went to the office.

Confess!

Several colleagues in the DPRK and China, who are not low in official positions, actually took the initiative to go to Dali Temple one after another to confess, without the need for Dali Temple officials to ask, and simply and clearly said why they came to Dali Temple.

Then, like pouring beans from a bamboo tube, he spat out his role in the case of the Ye family's criminals, and who instructed him, and signed without hesitation. Faced with such scenes one after another, the officials of Dali Temple were stunned and sighed.

Thinking that the emperor was still waiting for the progress of the case, the official who presided over the Ye clan's rebellion case took a stack of confessions and quickly went to Emperor Yongkang to present them.

The Imperial Study.

"The letter was forged."

Emperor Yongkang finished reading the confession submitted by the chief judge of Dali Temple page by page, his face was cold, and his eyes were full of fierceness: "Luo Fuhai, it is rumored that the third prince and Cen Shilang will come to see me quickly!" ”

Luo Fuhai responded, bowed back a few steps, then turned around and walked out of the imperial study, and gave an order to the two little eunuchs waiting outside, and the next moment, the two little eunuchs quickly walked away.

Cen Shilang is not an outsider, it is Cen Guifei's father, the maternal grandfather of the third prince, in recent days, he has been openly and secretly flattered by many ministers in the court, which can be said to be in good spirits at happy events.

But the change that appeared at the entrance of the vegetable market yesterday made Cen Shilang and the three princes feel very puzzled, especially the case of the Ye family is going to be remanded back to Dali Temple for retrial.

It is undoubtedly not good for the Cen family and the three princes. Receiving the pressure from Cen Guifei from the palace, Cen Shilang didn't close his eyes last night, and discussed countermeasures with his staff in the study.

Until dawn, they were at a loss. Well, it's not that it's at a loss, according to the idea of the staff in the house, it's best to reach out to Dali Temple, as long as the chief judge of Dali Temple is there,

There is no new breakthrough in the case of the Ye family, so even if the emperor wants to overturn the case for the Ye family, in the end, it will naturally be useless. But Cen Shilang shook his head, his words didn't work.

The reason is very simple, the chief judge of Dali Temple is selfless, and the reason why he did not interfere more in the case of the Ye family before is because the emperor handed over the secret fold to the officials arranged by the three princes.

Originated from the fact that the emperor ordered the Imperial Forest Army to surround the Cheng'en Mansion according to the contents of the secret fold, and simply searched out the secret letter of collusion with the enemy country from the secret compartment of the Cheng'en Gong's study.

and ordered the Imperial Forest Army to search for the letters secretly plotted by the queen and Cheng Engong in the queen's palace, and decisively convicted Cheng Engong and even the Ye family, and the anger surging was abolished and wasted.

Now, although they are cautious and cautious in their planning, and they believe that they have not left any traces, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no eventuality, so whether it is Cen Shilang or the third prince, they dare not gamble, worried that the case of the Ye family retrial in Dali Temple will really find any evidence against their side.

The emperor currently has seven sons, and there are five adult princes alone, the eldest prince is excluded from the inheritance of the great unification because of his foreign blood, and the second prince fell off the rockery when he was young, broke his leg and fell disabled,

It is also excluded from the inheritance of the great unification, so that the adult prince is qualified to seize the prince, there are only three princes, four princes, and five princes.

However, the four princes were born frail, and they were a desireless and wantless, so they were naturally ignored by the courtiers, the third prince, and the fifth prince.

Fake!

This is the voice of countless people. The frailty of the four princes is fake, the four princes have no desires and no desires, and the warmth and warmth are fake, otherwise, how could they be demoted to concubines by the emperor in anger and assigned to the frontier?

When the third prince and the fifth prince heard that the fourth prince had an accident, they were stunned for a short time, and then they had palpitations - what does it mean that a dog that bites people does not bark? It must be the four princes!

Just think about it, in order to seize the prince, the brothers fought openly and secretly, demolished each other, attacked each other's forces, and if they didn't get it right, they were all out in the end, and at this time, the brother who had no desire and no desire stood up at a critical moment, what is the difference between the position of the prince and the white pick?

Fortunately, the four princes, a very well-hidden competitor, suddenly went out without warning, and the third prince and the fifth prince couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The two thought that now that the crown prince has been deposed, and the seventh prince is still young,

Then the future prince has at least half of the chance to be himself. This is the modest idea of the three princes, in fact, in the eyes of the three princes, even if the case of the Ye family is abolished, the queen is abolished,

The crown prince was deposed, and part of the credit was given to the power of the five princes, but the mother concubine of the five princes was only in the position of concubine, and she was not very favored, and the foreign family was not powerful, so that anyone with a discerning eye could see whose position was in the prince's pocket.

However, everything changes, as soon as the vegetable market came out yesterday, the third prince, who regarded the position of the prince as a bag, instantly panicked, in order to avoid messing up, this prince endured not to meet Cen Shilang in person,

Secretly, someone sent news to Cen Mansion to urge Cen Shilang, and his grandfather hurriedly thought of a plan to prevent Dali Temple from hearing the case of the Ye family normally.

In the early days of today, Emperor Yongkang, as in the past, sat on the dragon chair, and his joy and anger were invisible, but there was a subtle change in the expression on the face of the civil and military officials, all of which fell in the eyes of Emperor Yongkang, and what I want to say is that Cen Shilang and the three princes are within the scope of Emperor Yongkang's key observation.

There was no god in his eyes, and he didn't sleep well at first glance, and why did this happen, Emperor Yongkang had the dream he had the night before, and he had to hook the case of the Ye family with Cen Shilang and the third prince. The dream was verified, and Emperor Yongkang believed that the four princes would not be untargeted, and said those to the Lin family casually.

What's more, Emperor Yongkang was assigned to the frontier by the four princes, and before leaving the palace, he had a meeting with the four princes alone. During this period, without waiting for Emperor Yongkang to ask anything, the four princes may have thought that they had fallen into a miserable situation.

can't be cheaper than the three princes and the five princes, and when he opened his mouth, he told everything he knew. After listening to this, Emperor Yongkang turned around and walked straight away, without giving a word to the four princes, no matter how the four princes shouted their father behind him, begging his father to give him a chance to change, and getting only the footsteps of Emperor Yongkang far away.

As the king of a country, Emperor Yongkang did suspect that the case of the Ye family was related to the three princes, after all, the dream was made by him and verified by him personally, but this emperor didn't want to like him quite much.

The son with outstanding ability thought about the worst, so he made excuses for himself and made a clear connection between the case that had been revealed and the third prince.

However, some people refused to let Emperor Yongkang get his wish, and slapped Emperor Yongkang in the face with tangible and powerful evidence, so that Emperor Yongkang had to face the reality today, and passed the three princes and Cen Shilang into the palace for questioning. And the one who "snapped" and slapped Emperor Yongkang in the face was Ye Xia, a person that Emperor Yongkang could never have imagined.

The emperor announced, Cen Shilang, who was absent-mindedly busy in the yamen, almost subconsciously felt bad, but he couldn't help but go, no, he pretended to be calm on his face, and he was panicked in his heart, and came to the imperial study with the palace attendants who came to deliver the message.

When he saw the three princes kneeling in the center of the imperial study, Cen Shilang was even more flustered in his heart, so as not to be seen by Emperor Yongkang, his face became more and more calm, and he stepped forward to bow to Emperor Yongkang.

"Third child, you really don't have anything to say to me?"

This is the third time since the third prince was summoned to the imperial study, and Emperor Yongkang asked the same sentence.

"What does the father want his son to say, but he doesn't know."

Similarly, the three princes responded to Emperor Yongkang three times with this sentence. Father and son, one face is as heavy as water, and his eyes are sharp; One looked calm and puzzled. But the real situation of the three princes is that

The moment he stepped into the imperial study and saw the chief judge of Dali Temple, the middle coat under the robe was quietly soaked, and his heartstrings jumped tightly together, for fear of hearing what he didn't want to hear. So fast?

Could it be true that what clues were found in Dali Temple?

Half a day plus one night, in such a short period of time, what can Dali Temple find out?

There were many questions in his mind, combined with Emperor Yongkang's question, the heartstrings of the third prince became more and more tense, and he became extremely uneasy, but he clearly knew that he must not reply to the wrong words,

In particular, he couldn't help but admit himself, so he did psychological construction over and over again, spoke clearly, calmly, and answered Emperor Yongkang's question three times in a row.

"Squire Cen, do you know why I sent you here at this time?"

Emperor Yongkang's gaze moved away from the three princes, fell to Cen Shilang, and when he heard this, Cen Shilang replied respectfully: "The minister doesn't know." ”

"Really?"

Emperor Yongkang stared at Cen Shilang, and tapped lightly on the imperial case for a while: "Then what do you have to say to me?" ”

He gave the opportunity, but the other party didn't cherish it, so don't blame him for a while!

Cen Shilang's eyelids drooped, and he replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, the minister is handling official business in the yamen, and it is you who have come to the imperial study to face the saint, and the ministers next to you don't know anything." ”

As Cen Shilang's voice fell, Emperor Yongkang's eyes narrowed slightly: "I don't know, do you?" Then you and the third prince will take a good look at what these are! ”

Speaking coldly, Emperor Yongkang grabbed the secret fold and a pile of confessions on the table, as well as the handwriting identification instructions of those forged letters, and smashed them directly on Cen Shilang: "Give me a good look, and after reading it, tell me if you have anything you want to say." ”

"Third child, you also give me a good look, I hope you don't disappoint me too much!"

Successive dynasties have indispensable battles for succession, and he doesn't mind that the prince has ideas, but since he has done it, he must do it without revealing a drop of water and leaving no traces, otherwise, it will only harm others and himself!

And this son, who seems to him to be outstanding, can only play some tricks, forge letters, frame Cheng'en Gong and the queen, and now that the ship has capsized, he doesn't want to admit it, so he wants to see if this unproductive thing can continue to deny it in the face of conclusive evidence.

Picking up the secret fold on the ground, Cen Shilang opened it tremblingly to see the contents on it, while the third prince turned pale, his eyes stared at the confessions in his hand, with names and surnames,

signed and drawn, and the owner who provided the confession had two people standing directly behind him, and the other few who provided confessions, one was secretly dealing with him, and he didn't help him less, and the rest,

and Cen Shilang, his grandfather walked closer. The confession clearly stated the time and place, who ordered him, and what he had done in the case of the Ye family, so he could not quibble.

"The people who forged the letters and the fake agents of the enemy country have been dealt with by you, but you are also stupid, since you forged the letters of the Duke and the Empress, why don't you know the characteristics of the Duke and the Empress of Cheng'en when they write individual characters?

Bought the subordinates of the Cheng'en Mansion, bought the palace maids in the Qifeng Palace, put the letters in advance to the study of the Cheng'en Mansion and the Queen's Palace, and then tried to fold the seal to me, without thinking about your plan, it is really interlocking, can't you find a flaw......"

"Your Majesty, everything is the minister's idea, it has nothing to do with the three princes, it was the minister who did it to the three princes, the emperor, the minister is guilty, and the minister deserves death!"

Regardless of the contents of the secret compromise, no matter how failed to forge the letters, just the signed confessions and a personal testimony, he could not quibble, and now the only thing he could do,

It is to sincerely confess his guilt, save the lives of the clansmen, and keep the identity of the three princes, as long as the three princes are fine, as long as the concubine is well, even if the Cen family falls into the dust today, there will always be a day in the future to regain its former glory.
