The journey to the location of the Empress Xiangchu's maiden home takes six days, and there will be a short stop at two county capitals on the way.

It is said that the hometown is more timid, and the queen has been away from her hometown for more than ten years.

The closer she is to her hometown, the more complicated her mood becomes, she can't even sleep well, she always tosses and turns, and wakes up early, The first sentence asks: "Have you arrived?" ”

"It's coming, it's coming!" Mama Su personally served the queen to freshen up and comforted her.

The queen looked at the mirror on the makeup and sighed with emotion: "The young man is still away from home, and the hair of this palace is also mixed with silver threads unconsciously, time, it flies so fast!" ”

Mama Su doesn't know why, she is older than the queen, she is more than ten years older than the queen!

Fortunately, the queen quickly changed the topic: "How is the little girl of the Fu family?" ”

Mama Su knew what she wanted to ask, so she smiled reluctantly and said, "This ...... Xu is not enough crisis, the girl of the Fu family did not have a different kind of good impression of His Royal Highness, I heard that the girl of the Fu family herself also took action to meet the enemy at that time......"

The queen snorted: "Yuzhen, this waste!" With only a small injury, the good chance is in vain! ”

Mama Su couldn't cry or laugh a little: "The slave forgot that the Fu family is the home of Wuxun, and the girl of the Fu family has also practiced since she was a child, not the kind of ordinary woman who is weak and powerless and will only panic when attacked." ”

The queen smiled: "I didn't expect that there are also women who are both civil and military, but the palace is more and more fond of this little girl of the Fu family, even if Zhen Zhen is unreliable!" When I return to the capital, the palace will think of a way, and I must marry her as the daughter-in-law of the palace. ”

As he spoke, he suddenly felt a slight tremor in the hull of the ship, and when he looked out the window, the ship had gradually stopped on the shore.

"Huh? Where is this? Why don't you go forward? The queen was surprised.

"Don't worry, the slave and maid go and ask."

Mama Su went out of the hatch, grabbed the little eunuch outside the door and asked, and soon came back, and reported to the queen who was slightly uneasy: "Niangniang! Outside, it is said that he has arrived in a county called pineapple, and His Majesty temporarily stopped because he received a message from the flying pigeon, and there was an urgent report from the rear, and he needed to board the ship to return to His Majesty. ”

The queen frowned, very dissatisfied, this is only two or three days away from her hometown, and she has been delayed in the middle of the road, but there is no way, only Heiwei can send a direct message to Emperor Yuan'an.

It is a special institution directly under the emperor, integrating detective, arrest, and trial, and the court has talked about the change of color, and the things it has handled in the past are all major cases that can pierce the sky, and such an institution has an urgent report, no wonder Emperor Yuan An has to temporarily stop the ship and wait.

The queen and Mama Su looked at each other, and could only wait patiently in the cabin.

At the same time, Yan Siyun also received the news here.

Fu Xuechen and Princess Zhiling, who came to visit the door again, glanced at each other, and Princess Zhiling muttered in a low voice: "What kind of emergency will it be?" Did the Black Guard arrest all the leaders of the anti-thieves who instructed their men to attack us? ”

"Maybe." Fu Xuechen wondered in his heart, he always felt that even if the black guard caught the thief behind the attack, he would not be in a hurry to report it, and it would not be too late to wait for Emperor Yuan An to arrive at his destination.

It didn't take long for an attendant to come and spread the word that Emperor Yuan An had an order, and everyone was invited to the deck.

Yan Siyun was the first to jump up and walked out, and Fu Xuechen and Princess Zhiling hurriedly followed.

On the deck of the huge dragon ship, with their backs to the cabin, almost all the accompanying civil and military officials were gathered, arranged on both sides of Emperor Yuan'an, who sat on the throne, and the fourth prince Yuzhen, the fifth prince Yuqi, and the seventh prince Yuyou stood in a row behind Emperor Yuan'an, and next to Emperor Yuan'an was the queen's phoenix seat.

...... this battle?

On the left hand side of Emperor Yuan An is the queen's seat, and then there is Concubine Yi, on the right hand side is Concubine De, and then there is Concubine Yue.

Seeing this, Princess Zhiling hurriedly pulled Fu Xuechen and quietly stood behind Concubine Yi, and Yan Siyun took the opportunity to stand behind the queen's seat, but it happened to be next to Fu Xuechen.

The three girls didn't dare to make a noise to meet the emperor and the concubines, at this moment, a middle-aged man who looked like the leader of the black guard was bowing down and talking to Emperor Yuan'an, the etiquette could be put aside first, but he didn't dare to interrupt the prelude to others.

“…… After investigation, this matter was all committed by the remnants of Bailian, and the people committed the crime here! As he spoke, the man presented several volumes of confessions with bloody fingerprints, and Zheng Ze stepped forward to take them, turned around and handed them to Emperor Yuan An.

Emperor Yuan An unfolded the confession and read them one by one, his expression instantly sank, and he motioned Zheng Ze to pass on these guilty books to the civil and military ministers on both sides.

I don't know what was written in those confessions, and the faces of all the ministers who saw the confessions changed.

Ji Ze's hand holding the book of sin trembled slightly: "Your Majesty! This...... How is this possible?! He didn't dare to accuse the book of this crime of being a bunch of nonsense, but his shocked gaze turned to the queen.

The queen found that many ministers were looking at her, and she couldn't help but be stunned, and her face was puzzled.

Emperor Yuan An opened his mouth to solve her doubts: "Empress, the confession of these gangsters mentions your henchman Jiang Qizhen, and it was this person who colluded with the Bailian Association to launch the attack on Jade Emperor Mountain. ”

The queen was shocked: "Your Majesty! How is this possible?! ”

Emperor Yuan An didn't say much, but only ordered the leader of the black guard: "Bring the prisoners up!" ”

As soon as the leader of the black guards waved, four black guards escorted two bloodstained and disheveled men to the dragon ship and pressed the two prisoners whose hands and feet were chained to their knees on the deck.

Emperor Yuan An scolded coldly: "Take it true!" Raise your head and let your master recognize it! ”

One of the prisoners tried his best to raise his head, his bloodshot eyes rolled sluggishly, and soon when he saw the queen, he immediately became excited, and struggled desperately to kneel several steps towards her, and shouted in a hoarse voice: "Mother! Mother, save me! For the sake of your subordinates for twenty-two years before and after you saddle the horse, save your subordinates... Save ......"

His injuries were so severe that he fainted on the spot.

"Your Majesty, this ......" the queen looked at Emperor Yuan An with her mouth open.

Emperor Yuan An pointed to another prisoner and said: "This person is nicknamed Sweeping Dust Immortal Dao, commonly known as Zhang Jiu, one of the four protectors of the Bailian Society, and has been wandering in the Jade Emperor Mountain Dao Palace all the year round. ”

Emperor Yuan An pointed at it again: "Jiang Qizhen confessed, he was ordered by the queen to join forces with the Bailian Association to betray the prince, the princess and the county lord their whereabouts, except for Yu Zhen, the rest of the people are dealt with by the Bailian Association anti-thieves, whether they are assassinated on the spot, they can be captured and taken hostage!" ”

"Empress, I want to ask you, colluding with thieves and murdering the descendants of the royal family, what do you mean by this?" Emperor Yuan An's tone was not excited, but everyone could hear the anger he suppressed in his chest.

"Your Majesty!" The queen became excited, suddenly stood up from her seat, breathed rapidly, and said angrily: "The concubine only has one sentence, this is all framed!" What collusion against thieves! What a plot to murder the descendants of the royal family! How could a concubine do such a thing?! Jiang Qi is really the concubine's guard, that's right! But the concubine had never given him such a secret order! ”

This is a total denial! The queen is so rigid, but it makes many people suspicious.

Emperor Yuan An's voice was fierce: "Empress! You're underestimating my Blackguards, and did you know that they've replayed the whole simulation more than once? ”

"All kinds of evidence show that from the moment Si Yun decided to visit Jade Emperor Mountain according to your suggestion, the Bailian Society could not launch an attack when they arrived at their destination under any circumstances, and the only possibility for this to be done was to learn the news a few hours in advance and set up an ambush overnight."

"In fact, Jiang Qizhen has already confessed that he colluded with the Bailian Society to conspire about this matter, as early as the night before Siyun and they decided to go to Jade Emperor Mountain! So tell me, how did Jiang Qizhen know in advance that Siyun would go to Jade Emperor Mountain the next day? ”

The queen was stunned for a moment, and Emperor Yuan An pressed forward step by step: "Siyun! Tell me, why did you go to Jade Emperor Mountain? ”

Yan Siyun looked at Ai Ai, looked at the queen, and looked at Emperor Yuan'an: "I... I ......"

Emperor Yuan An shouted: "Tell the truth! ”

Yan Siyun was taken aback, and Fang said nervously: "I, I listened to the suggestion of the queen mother, saying that the Jade Emperor Mountain is very good, and there are many places worth visiting, so I just went there." ”

Emperor Yuan An nodded, and looked at the queen with a dark face: "So, the idea of letting Siyun and them go to Jade Emperor Mountain was yours!" Only you can know one night in advance, and the next day Siyun will listen to you and visit Jade Emperor Mountain, only you can tell Jiang Qizhen and set a location for the ambush attack with the Bailian Society! ”

"So, what else do you have to quibble?"

The queen was angry and anxious: "Your Majesty! How can you be so arbitrary that you have to wronged your concubine? Do you know that the concubines will mention Jade Emperor Mountain, and they heard it from Jiang Qizhen?! ”

"The concubine understands! I see! It's Jiang Qizhen! It was he who was instructed by others to deliberately boast about the benefits of Jade Emperor Mountain in the ears of his concubines, which made the concubines fall for his evil deeds and introduced Jade Emperor Mountain to Si Yun, who happened to design to ambush Si Yun and them in Jade Emperor Mountain! That's it! Your Majesty, you need to be discerning! ”

Emperor Yuan An looked at the queen and turned his head angrily at Jiang Qizhen, but he sneered and said: "Jiang Qizhen has been by your side since he was eighteen years old, and has loyally protected you for twenty-two years, he is your confidant and favorite general, in addition to being instructed by you, who else can he be instructed by?" Tell me about it? ”

The queen's face was horrified and angry: "Your Majesty! Who is the real master behind Jiang Qizhen, shouldn't His Majesty send someone to investigate? This person has been lurking beside the concubine for twenty-two years, and I am afraid that he will give the concubine a fatal blow today! Who is the master behind him, and how can the concubine know that the concubine is a victim?! ”

"And!" The queen looked at Yu Zhen and several people: "Yu Zhen! Yu Qi! Zhiling! Siyun! Fu Xuechen! You are all witnesses of the incident, but let's talk about it, who do the gangsters want to arrest in this attack? Who do you want to kill? Say! ”

Yu Zhen took a few steps, knelt in front of Emperor Yuan An with a puff of robe, looked solemn, and said calmly: "Father, please calm your anger!" According to Erchen's view, the gangster has no definite target, even if Erchen is also within the scope of the gangster's attack, the queen mother should not hurt Erchen, behind this matter, there are still strange things! ”

Princess Zhiling also hurriedly came out and knelt down: "Father! What the fourth brother said is right! ”

Yu Qi hesitated, knelt down but said: "Erchen doesn't know, Erchen doesn't see much in the chaos, it's not as clear as the fourth brother." ”

Yan Siyun snorted: "I'm ...... I believe in the queen and cousin! ”

Fu Xuechen was extremely sure: "The courtiers can be sure that the gangsters have no intention of killing, only the intention of arresting." ”

The queen glanced at Fu Xuechen approvingly, and said to Emperor Yuan'an: "Your Majesty, did you hear it?" Yu Zhen is the only child of the concubine, which mother in the world would put her child in danger?! ”

"Besides, Yu Zhen came back with an injury that time, but the other children were fine, this is not enough to show that it is Yu Zhen who is really the master behind the scenes? This is a poisonous plan to kill the concubines, mothers and sons! ”

Yu Zhen also helped: "Ask my father to continue to investigate!" The queen of the son's mother is innocent! ”

Emperor Yuan An looked at Yu Zhen, then at the other children, nodded and said, "Okay!" Since there is still something suspicious about this matter, and the queen has repeatedly refuted and refused to admit her guilt, then I will ask someone to continue to investigate deeply, and you all get up! ”

His words changed, and he looked at the queen coldly, and said: "Before the truth of the matter is found out, the queen, I will wronged you to be grounded in the cabin, don't come out!" Come on, send the queen back to the cabin! ”

The queen took a deep breath, suppressed her anger and glanced at the unconscious Jiang Qizhen, and without waiting for anyone to invite, she bowed to Emperor Yuan'an: "That is the case, the concubine will retire and wait for the emperor to find out the truth." ”

With that, he turned and left.

"It's all gone!" Emperor Yuan An waved his hand, also made a calm face, and left the deck.

Concubine De, Concubine Yi, and Concubine Yue watched a lively scene, but they didn't dare to show any other looks, and returned to the cabin one after another with tense faces.

Zhiling walked up to Zhen Zhen and called out with concern: "Fourth brother! ”

Yu Zhen looked at her and said with relief: "I'm fine." ”

Yan Siyun also came over and said, "Cousin! I believe that the queen will be fine. ”

Yu Zhen nodded in thanks: "Borrow your auspicious words." ”

Yu Qi accompanied Yan Siyun, but he was silent.

Fu Xuechen's eyes fell on Yu Zhen's injured arm, although there was a lot of blood that day, fortunately, the injury was not too deep, after taking the medicine, in just a few days, there was no need to bandage, and the flexibility had recovered a lot.

Yu Zhen took the initiative to look at her and thanked her gratefully: "Thank you Miss Fu for speaking justice for my mother!" ”

Fu Xuechen didn't expect him to thank him, and hurriedly said, "Your Highness doesn't have to be polite!" I'm just speaking for the truth! ”

"That's enough!" Yu Zhen didn't expect anything else, he knew that most of the time, telling the truth and telling the truth was already a very rare character for a person, and it was very important for those who handled the case.

Thank you for the support of Yang Xiansen, who loves to read!
