Chapter 183: Everything has nothing to do with concubines
Nan Mu Ze's face was slightly gloomy, "Losing the phoenix seal is a capital crime, whether it is stolen by someone or not, you who keep the phoenix seal should be punished as you deserve, if the person who stole the phoenix seal must be beheaded, then you who lost the phoenix seal should also be guilty of the same crime!"
When Liu Fang heard this, his face suddenly changed greatly, "This matter has been dealt with by the emperor, how can King Cang ......?"
"Oh? Is it dealt with? Aren't you waiting for that person to be punished at the moment? Then why are you okay?"
Nan Mu Ze had a cold face, "If the phoenix seal was really stolen by a maid, then you must have thrown the phoenix seal in a very obvious place, otherwise, how could a little maid who rarely entered the palace steal such a valuable thing?" Are you not guilty of keeping the phoenix seal like this?"
"Hongu ......"
"This king's words are not finished, as far as this king knows, the princess and her maids have not even entered your bedroom, dare to ask how they stole your phoenix seal? Did you put the phoenix seal at the gate as a stepping stone?"
Liu Fang gritted her teeth in anger, "How can King Cang be sure that they have not entered the dormitory of this palace?"
"Heh, the prince said at the time that you would go back to the palace to sleep after the banquet, in that case, how did they force their way in? Can anyone go in and disturb you while you sleep? Or maybe they just rummaged through the cabinets in your bedroom in front of you, and then took the phoenix seal justifiably? Do you believe that in that case?"
"You, you!"
"Nonsense? It's obvious that he was said by this king, and he was annoyed and angry, right? You slandered Princess Cang with such inferior means, everyone can see it, only you still keep yourself in the dark, thinking that your plan is seamless, but in reality? Everyone is just looking at your identity and leaving you a little face, since you are so shameless and so aggressive, then the king must also calculate with you, what should be the crime of slandering Princess Cang with his phoenix seal!"
Liu Fang's face was red when he was said, and he immediately looked at Nan Gongcheng aggrievedly.
"Your Majesty, look at Aze, how can he talk like this......
"Isn't what the king said wrong?"
Nan Mu Ze was determined to cure her crimes, so he looked at Nan Gongcheng again:
"Brother Huang, the matter has come to this point, and everyone has been punished as they deserve, but who is the initiator of this matter, Brother Huang should know in his heart!"
Nan Gongcheng lowered his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
Nan Muze said again: "I thought about the queen's reputation before, although everyone knows the truth, although everyone knows that this is the queen slandering a little maid, but in order to save the queen's face, everyone still does not hesitate to behead an innocent maid, in order to block the mouth of the people, but now, the prince has paid for it, is there still a lot of gossip in the world?" Now, do you want to preserve the little reputation that the queen has left?"
"King Cang is just talking nonsense! Why does this palace want to use the phoenix seal to slander Princess Cang, say this kind of thing, you can at least come up with evidence!"
Nan Mu Ze sneered, "Evidence? Do you have proof again? You said you weren't slandering, so where is your evidence?"
"Everything was found from that girl, what evidence do you need?"
"You are the ones who say these things! If someone else finds the phoenix seal from the maid's body, it can be considered evidence, but what evidence is your people? It's also possible that the phoenix seal was in your hands from the beginning, and it was stuffed on other people's bodies, saying that they stole it, and the queen is not very good at doing such things?"
"You're!"
"Just treat it as the king's nonsense, and there is no evidence on both sides, so it is best to protect the reputations of both parties and let this matter go away, but you have to be aggressive, even so, the gentleman is guilty of the same crime as the common people, and the two princes are punished and demoted to the common people for three years, so shouldn't you, the queen, stay in the cold palace for three years?"
"Your Majesty, don't listen to his nonsense, he is now mad and has begun to talk nonsense."
Liu Fang looked anxious, and looked at Nan Muze angrily and said, "This palace knows that you are very angry now, but you can't ...... it."
"You said that the second prince indirectly killed the prince, so if you want to count it like this, you, the initiator, will indirectly kill the prince
The murderer of the son! If you hadn't used the phoenix seal to slander others in the first place, how could they have made such a robbery? Now that they've all been punished, you deserve to be punished as the initiator, right?"
After Nan Muze finished speaking, he looked at Nan Gongcheng again and said, "That's all the ministers say, and the rest of the imperial brothers will do it themselves."
After saying that, Nan Mu Ze turned around and left there.
With the departure of Nan Muze and the others, Liu Fang no longer had the same arrogant energy as before, but just stood aside sweating profusely, looking at Nan Gongcheng cautiously.
"Your Majesty, what Aze said is all angry words, don't put it in your heart, everything has nothing to do with the concubines......
"Enough talk?"
Nan Gongcheng said coldly.
Liu Fang gritted her teeth and didn't dare to speak again.
Nan Gongcheng said again: "What is the truth of the matter, I know in my heart, I have enough to give you face, beheading a maid is to protect your only remaining reputation, but you not only don't know how to restrain but also intensified, Queen, you have disappointed me too much."
Liu Fang hurriedly knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, don't be angry, concubine ......."
"Do you still have to quibble now? Are you really a fool of the world, or do you think I am a fool?"
Liu Fang bit her lip and was speechless.
Nan Gongcheng exhaled deeply, "It's not that I don't help you, it's that you really don't make sense now, everything is made by you, and the death of the prince also has your reasons, thinking that you are the queen, I have repeatedly tolerated you, but now, how can you let me let you?"
"Your Majesty, the concubine knows that she is wrong, but none of this is the concubine's idea......
"It wasn't your idea, is it the prince? Until now, you still don't repent, you keep saying that you want justice for the prince, but now you start to push the blame on him, you are really a good mother, a good queen!"
Liu Fang was speechless, her face full of panic.
At this moment, how much she regretted her mouthful, if she had let Nan Muze leave just now, wouldn't it have been so much?
When he was remorseful, Nan Gongcheng had already turned around and returned to the imperial study.
"Come, invite the queen back to the Palace of Tranquility and confinement for a year."
As soon as these words came out, Liu Fang collapsed on the spot.
A year of confinement?
What's the difference between that and sending her to the cold?
The beauties in this palace come and go, and after a year, it's hard to say whether the emperor can remember her as a queen......
Liu Fang was anxious, and hurriedly rushed up, "Your Majesty, the concubine knows that she is wrong, and the Emperor ......
But before she could rush up, she was blocked by two guards, and no matter how she shouted, the emperor didn't look back, and quickly closed the door of the imperial study.
She was unwilling, unwilling, and kept yelling, completely without what a queen should be......
As Liu Fang was dragged away, the surroundings quieted down.
In a corner not far from the imperial study, a young man stood there quietly for a long time before turning to leave.
Behind him, an attendant bowed his head and followed, "Congratulations to Your Highness, killing two birds with one stone."
