Zichen Hall –

Emperor Jing looked at Empress Yue quietly.

"Queen, I really never thought that you would be so impatient to put Lin'er to death."

"Your Majesty, the concubine has been wronged."

"Wronged? Didn't you let people spread rumors in Beijing that Lin'er was not the son of the dragon of me, in a vain attempt to discredit his background?"

Emperor Jing's tone was not high, but it was low and frightening.

"I really can't imagine that anyone else but you will make a big fuss about his life experience!"

"Your Majesty, the concubine dares to swear with her life, this matter is definitely not the work of the concubine! Maybe it's because King Ling has made too many enemies, and it is unknown if the wall falls down and everyone pushes it!"

"You're still quibbling? Except for the palace knowing about King Ling, there has never been any leakage of news. And I have decreed that no one shall speak of the matter of King Ling, and you tell me who dares to disrespect the decree and openly blaspheme the prince!"

The more Emperor Jing spoke, the more excited he became, and the jade bracelet that was originally twisted in his hand was also smashed on the dragon case by him.

Empress Yue was so frightened that her body trembled, but she was a woman who had lived in the palace for decades, and she had never seen any strong winds and waves.

It's just a frame-up, what is she afraid of?

Thinking of this, she simply straightened her body and raised a level in her momentum.

"Your Majesty, the rumors about King Ling's life are definitely not the work of the concubine. But King Ling's murder of important ministers in the court is an indisputable fact, His Majesty did not ask King Ling why he killed, but came to ask the concubine why he made rumors about King Ling. Your Majesty will not be too partial!"

"Shut up! It's not your turn to teach me a lesson!"

"The concubine knows that His Majesty has always looked down on the concubine's background, but no matter what, the concubine is now also an upright queen, and she has the responsibility to advise His Majesty! If Your Majesty continues to favor King Ling, sooner or later he will bear the infamy of a faint king! Your Majesty, think again!"

Empress Yue's domineering words made Emperor Jing even more angry.

Emperor Jing simply scolded:

"Get out!"

"Your Majesty!"

"What you have done, you know best in your own heart! Get lost! I don't want to see you!"

After saying that, Emperor Jing brushed his sleeves and headed towards the inner hall.

In the empty Zichen Palace, only Empress Yue was left in the blink of an eye.

She clenched her fists, her bright red nails embedded in the flesh of her palm.

With such a big basin on her head, she couldn't argue.

Now she has finally tasted what it means to be dumb and eat coptis, and she can't say what it means to be bitter.

She gritted her teeth and slowly rose from the ground.

The numbness in her knees made her nearly unsteady.

The dragon chair in front of her was so gorgeous, so cold, so close to her, and so far away from her.

Even though she walked to his side step by step, he was like the dragon chair, never belonging to her, and could not allow her to come close.

Empress Yue's heart was so distressed that she couldn't speak.

Her numbness gradually subsided, and she was about to step away, when she heard Kou Huai say behind her:

"Her Royal Highness, please stay."

Empress Yue said angrily, "Father-in-law Kou? Why, what does Your Majesty command?"

"Your Majesty's will, before the case of His Royal Highness King Ling is concluded, the queen is ill and cannot leave the Legislative Palace for half a step without a call."

"What? Your Majesty wants to ban the feet of the queen!"

"Your Highness, Your Majesty is just worried about your body. You take this opportunity to rest for a few days, the harem is burdensome, and Your Majesty has handed it over to Concubine Xian to manage, you just need to inspect it."

Kou Huai is a smart one, and what he said is tactful enough, and it is enough for Yue Hou.

Empress Yue's throat was like a huge stone blocking it, cutting her throat so sore and sore that she couldn't say a word.

She moved her lips and didn't speak, but her eyes were already red.

She turned around and limped out of the Zichen Palace.

A woman who is not loved by her husband is destined to be

It's going to be harder.

She understood this very early on.

But today, Emperor Jing punished her for unwarranted crimes, which really hurt her heart again.

After returning to the Lizheng Palace, Empress Yue couldn't figure out what he thought.

Who was the one who spread rumors about King Ling's life before her?

She thought about it carefully, but in the end she couldn't come to a conclusion.

But after this incident, she also completely understood that as long as Fu Xuanlin was alive, Emperor Jing would be biased against him.

"Fu Xuanlin, I will never let you be a stumbling block on my son's path to the throne!"

The next day, the matter of Empress Yue being grounded in disguise reached Zhan Xinglan's ears in a blink of an eye.

It was none other than Fu Yuexin who brought her the news.

Concubine Xian suddenly grasped the power of the harem, and she was already suspicious, but as long as she inquired a little, she knew about the matter of His Majesty's grounding in Yue.

She and Concubine Chun are close friends, and now that there is such good news, she naturally hurriedly told Fu Yuexin, and asked Fu Yuexin to tell Zhan Xinglan.

"Lan'er, judging from the matter of the father's punishment of the queen, the father's heart is still towards the eleventh brother, don't worry too much."

Fu Luoxiang also comforted on the side: "The seventh sister is reasonable, the eleventh brother is a good person, and we all believe that he will never kill Wei Tai Fuqing."

Zhan Xinglan looked at the two princesses, and a trace of warmth flowed in her heart.

It was said that the wall was down and everyone pushed it, but the two of them still stood firmly on her and Fu Xuanlin's side.

Fu Yuexin suddenly remembered something, and said with some worry:

"However, I heard that Wei Ziwei, the eldest son of Wei Tai Fuqing, is going back to Beijing to report on his work, and once he returns, he will definitely not give up."

"I heard that this Wei Ziwei has been doing assassination in Songzhou for some years, and the people of Songzhou also have a high opinion of him, he shouldn't be the kind of person who is quite unreasonable."

"Tenth sister, don't forget, it's his biological father who is dying right now. It is difficult for a clean official to decide family affairs, how can he stay sane?"

"What the seventh sister said is also reasonable. Lan'er, it's better to wash away the grievances of the eleventh brother as soon as possible."

Zhan Xinglan nodded and said, "Two sisters, don't worry, I will never let Xuanlin suffer an injustice!"

Right now, Empress Yue's side has been rectified by Zhan Xinglan's reverse operation, but the people who want Fu Xuanlin to die are not only Empress Yue, but also Fu Tingxuan.

Moreover, there is no substantial evidence to prove that Fu Xuanlin was invited to Wei Mansion by the Secretary of the Wei Mansion.

If Fu Tingxuan and Wei Ziwei bite Fu Xuanlin to the death, then Fu Xuanlin is afraid that it will be difficult to argue.

But since Zhan Xinglan dared to let Fu Xuanlin go to the appointment, she had already thought about the way back.

The murder case of King Ling was carried out in a secret investigation, and Xie Shilin and Ye Rusheng investigated for two days, but in the end there was no breakthrough.

From the confessions from the top to the bottom of the Wei Mansion, to the time and place of the death of the Wei Tai Mansion, all of them pointed the finger at Fu Xuanlin.

And all this was planned and arranged by Fu Tingxuan.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, there is no movement in the Ming Kingdom Mansion and the Ling Wang's Mansion for the time being, they seem to have been in a mess, and they don't know what to do."

"Hmph, even Ming Guogong, who has always been in danger, has no way to deal with it, it seems that Fu Xuanlin has to die this time."

Fu Tingxuan didn't know how comfortable he was, so he picked up the light green tea soup and took a sip.

"Ao Jin, continue to stare at the Ling Palace, if there is any change in Princess Ling, report it quickly."

"Yes, my subordinates obey."

Ao Jin retreated, and disappeared without a trace with a flash.

He quietly sneaked into King Ling's mansion and happened to bump into Zhan Xinglan and sent Fu Yuexin away.

Zhan Xinglan ordered someone to close the door, but when he turned around, he saw Ao Jin who appeared out of thin air.

"Oops! Ao Jin, it's you, do you want to scare me to death?"

Seeing that he had frightened Zhan Xinglan, Ao Jin hurriedly took a step back and said:

"The subordinates are offended, and I ask Princess Ling to forgive me!

」

"It's okay, let's go, let's go to the front hall and talk."

Zhan Xinglan patted his chest, trying to soothe his little heart that was about to jump out of fright.

In the front hall, Zhan Xinglan dismissed everyone, leaving only Ao Jin and Zhu Huan.

"Ao Jin, why did you come here today?"

"Before the subordinates came to the Lingwang Mansion, they had already gone to the osmanthus tree outside Qianerzhuang and tied a piece of blue silk to it."

"Oh? So, you've decided to side with me?"

"Yes, the subordinates only have one relative, the eldest brother, and whoever he follows, the subordinates will follow!"

"Very well, but you can't leave the prince just yet."

"The subordinates understand that the princess still needs her subordinates to be eyes and ears beside the prince at this moment."

"You are indeed very smart, and what this princess likes most is to deal with smart people. So at this moment, what is the good movement on the prince's side?"

"The prince thought that his plan was seamless, and seeing that the Ling Wangfu and the Ming State Mansion were helpless, the prince was already very proud."

"What this princess wants is for him to be proud. If the heavens want to die, they will make them mad. When the crown prince is the most proud, this princess wants him to know what it means to eat the consequences of self-inflicted evil!"

Xie Shilin and Ye Rusheng investigated for six days, but there was really no more evidence other than confessions.

And Wei Ziwei also entered the capital on the sixth day.

As soon as Wei Ziwei entered Beijing, the news of Wei Taifuqing's murder quickly spread in the capital.

The people were all stunned and surprised.

Emperor Jing saw that the matter had reached a time when the paper could not contain the fire, so he had no choice but to open the trial of the case of King Ling killing Wei Taifuqing.

Early in the morning, hundreds of civil and military officials waited in Hanyuan Palace.

Most of them only learned that King Ling had killed someone, and they were still stunned in their hearts.

"Your Majesty has arrived!"

Kou Huai shouted, stirring up the cranky thoughts in everyone's hearts for a moment.

Emperor Jing stepped onto the high platform with a black face, and sat on the dragon chair with his sleeves raised.

His face was dark, and the blues under his eyes were even darker.

It shows that Emperor Jing hasn't slept well in the past few days.

However, Fu Tingxuan is confident and high-spirited.

He had been waiting for a day, and he had been waiting for too long.

"Biography, King Ling has entered the palace!"

After a while, Fu Xuanlin was dressed in plain white clothes and walked into the Hanyuan Hall under the guidance of Qian Niu Wei on both sides.

Although Fu Xuanlin was plain white, the domineering aura on his body had not diminished at all.

He strode to the center of the Hanyuan Hall and arched his hand, "My son knocks to see my father!"

"Flat." Emperor Jing frowned deeply, and said, "King Ling, do you know why you were declared to the palace today?"

"My son is deeply involved in the poisoning of Wei Taifuqing, and today is the day when the verdict will be announced."

"Can you admit your guilt?"

"My son didn't kill Wei Taifuqing, so he can't admit to the crime."

At this time, a man on the side who looked like Wei Taifuqing and was nearly forty years old suddenly lost control and said: .

"His Royal Highness King Ling killed the minister's father and refused to admit it, there is really no heavenly reason! Your Majesty, please be the master of your minister's father!"
