Emperor Qingming approached and recognized the child as Chen Hengge. He looked around, but did not see the fifth and sixth princes.

Chen Hengge stood beside Princess Jin, his little face was full of resentment, and he was jumping to scold a little eunuch.

"Okay, you're a gelding, I'll treat you as a good one, so you set me up here!"

The little eunuch was restrained by the guards, and his mouth was still quite tough, "Chen Gongzi don't want to wronged a good person, the slave has been hiding and refusing to give you firecrackers, it was you who gave the jade pendant to the slave and replaced it with a few firecrackers."

You also inquired with the servants about the queen's residence, and said that you wanted to see the queen's Fengyi. The slave stopped and said that the queen was noble, not that she could see it if she wanted to. Who would have thought that you would go around to the back of Kunning Palace and throw firecrackers into the palace through the wall. ”

"You talk nonsense!"

Chen Hengge kicked and kicked him, "It's clear that you brought me here!" When you come, throw firecrackers into the wall! ”

The two were arguing, and everyone present found Emperor Qingming and saluted.

Emperor Qingming already knew about it at this time, he stepped forward and asked the guard who was clamping down on the little eunuch, "What's going on?" ”

The guards saluted, "Back to the emperor, a team of six people is responsible for patrolling the area near Kunning Palace, and when they heard the sound of firecrackers, they found that the little eunuch and Chen Gongzi were here." The two of them insisted on their own words, and they couldn't tell who did it. ”

And the guards guarding the gate of the palace were far away from the back wall of Kunning Palace, and they never saw who did it.

Emperor Qingming walked up to Chen Hengge, leaned over and stared at him, his body was majestic, and his tone was quite cold, "Chen Hengge, do you know what the crime of bullying is?" ”

Chen Hengge looked up at him, "But you want to cut off your head?" ”

Emperor Qingming said, "Yes, you want to cut off your head." Not only will you have your head cut off, but you will even be implicated in your loved ones. ”

Chen Hengge's eyes widened, "So serious?" If the grass people bully the king, won't they implicate my sister? ”

"Exactly. The crime of bullying the king will kill people, but throwing a firecracker will not lead to death, at most it will make you pay compensation to the queen. ”

Emperor Qingming stared at him with sharp eyes, "Then you tell me now, who set off the firecrackers?" ”

Chen Hengge looked up at Emperor Qingming, "Back to the emperor, it's that little eunuch." The grass people have always acted prudently and will not do such an indiscriminate thing. ”

Emperor Qingming squinted and asked, "Really?"

Chen Hengge said sincerely, "Seriously." ”

Emperor Qingming looked at this six- or seven-year-old child.

Children are not frightened, often one cheats and one is accurate, Chen Hengge said so, Emperor Qingming believed six or seven points in his heart.

He had just released his coercion, and ordinary ministers couldn't withstand the pressure, and they were often so frightened that they knelt down and couldn't speak. But Chen Hengge didn't know that he was afraid at all, and he didn't know if it was because the ignorant were fearless.

The Queen Mother's phoenix has arrived.

Hu Mingzhu stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, don't believe the words of this little ghost, he is very cunning, and he must have thrown the firecracker!" ”

Han Youning didn't speak just now, and he kept letting Chen Hengge play freely, and on the way here, Huo Shan said that there was no need to interfere.

But at this time, it was still necessary for her to say a few words for the sixth brother, she said, "Nanzhang is the first time to see Chen Hengge today, how do you know that he is cunning?" You've just arrived here, and you haven't seen it with your own eyes, so why are you sure he threw it? ”

Hu Mingzhu glared at her and said, "At the banquet, I heard from the palace people that Chen Hengge was quite curious about the queen, and he had been asking Zhao Xiang'er about the queen, and wanted to see it with his own eyes. It must have been that he was resentful when he saw that the queen was not successful, and threw firecrackers to vent his anger! ”

Han Youning sneered, "Oh, it turned out to be a guess." The lord of Nanzhang Tangtang relies on speculation to determine the life and death of people. ”

Emperor Qingming frowned, "Since Nanzhang doesn't know, don't make trouble." ”

Hu Mingzhu's face turned red, "Your Majesty, that little eunuch knows the rules in the palace, where did he come from so much courage to come to Kunning Palace to make trouble." ”

Emperor Qingming pointed at the little eunuch, "You, what's your name, which palace is serving?" ”

The little eunuch knelt on the ground and stammered, "Back to the emperor, the slave Zhang Xi is from the Internal Affairs Office." Mr. Wang sent a few servants to set off fireworks in front of the Qinghe Palace. The slave didn't dare to deceive the emperor, the firecracker was really thrown into Kunning Palace by Chen Qigongzi naughtily. ”

"Are you really like no one to see the truth?" A cold voice rang out.

King Chengjun pushed away the crowd and walked in with a cold face.

He arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, the minister saw with his own eyes that the firecracker was thrown by this eunuch." ”

Emperor Qingming's eyes were suspicious, "Since you saw it, why didn't you take him down on the spot, but only appeared now?" ”

King Chengjun's face was a little gloomy, and he replied, "At that time, the minister was just about to step forward, and it happened that a guard came to report to the minister-he told the minister that Jiahe was poisoned in the Qinghe Palace, and his life and death were unknown. The minister was worried about his daughter, and when he saw that some guards had stepped forward to arrest the little eunuch, he rushed to Qinghe Hall to visit Jiahe. ”

Emperor Qingming rubbed his jade wrench, half-believing his words. Although it was reasonable for him to act like this because his beloved daughter was poisoned, it was not enough to convince him.

Zhao Xiang'er is now discussing marriage with Lu Rin, and it is reasonable for King Chengjun to want to help King Jin.

The Queen Mother slowly spoke, "The mourning family heard that Jiahe is discussing marriage with the third prince of Anling Houfu, and you and King Jin of Chengjun are also considered to be close relatives, but you must not forget the public and bend the law for personal gain." You can't tell the truth out of thin air, that's not okay. ”

King Chengjun arched his hand and said, "Back to the Queen Mother, there are more than one ministers who have seen this scene. ”

The Queen Mother said lightly, "The guard who delivered the letter is your subordinate, and it's not like what you say." ”

Chengjun Wang said, "Queen Mother, the other person the minister said is the sixth prince. ”

Emperor Qingming frowned, "Six princes? ”

Chengjun Wang said, "Back to the emperor, exactly." When the minister was on patrol, he met the sixth prince and said that he had been separated from his seventh uncle and was crying. The minister carried him all the way to this side, and just happened to see this eunuch throwing firecrackers. When the minister went to Qinghe Palace, he happened to meet Yun Concubine looking for the six princes, so he handed over the six princes to her. ”

He looked at the Queen Mother, "The sixth prince is not yet six years old, and the words of a childish child can always tell the truth from the false." ”

The Queen Mother's face changed slightly, and she twisted the Buddha beads and said, "The sixth prince is a child, and his eyesight is not as good as that of you martial arts practitioners, how can he see it really." ”

"Imperial Grandmother, I saw it!"

A guard came in with the Six Princes in his arms, followed by Yun Concubine, the biological mother of the Six Princes.

Yun Concubine trembled and held her son's hand.

The sixth prince still had tears on his face, pointing at Zhang Xi and crying and shouting, "I saw him throwing firecrackers into his mother's harem, he wants to kill his mother!" ”

The Queen Mother's face was ugly, and she scolded Concubine Yun, "Why are you running here if you don't take the child back to the palace?" ”

Yun Concubine trembled and knelt down, muttering, "The concubine is guilty." ”

The guards put down the six princes, knelt on the ground and arched their hands, "Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager, I heard that the six princes kept saying that someone wanted to harm the queen on the road, and Concubine Yun was also quite worried about the queen's safety and wanted to come to Kunning Palace to have a look." The lowly duty felt that it was very important, so he brought them over. ”
