Chapter 324: Like Last Time
After listening to the little eunuch's answer, Lian Yongwang was basically sure that the little eunuch couldn't get out of this matter.
As long as he is in the know, he is not afraid that he will not open his mouth when he enters the inner court prison.
"Since you are not honest, then continue to torture." Lian Yongwang said.
Under the service of various torture instruments in the inner court prison, the little eunuch was finally recruited.
However, at the beginning, he only admitted that he poisoned the little eunuch in the imperial dining room, and the reason for poisoning him was also for personal reasons, or he couldn't get past it later, and he really couldn't stand the torture, so he honestly confessed that he was instructed by He Jieyu to do so.
He Jieyu was already jealous of Concubine Shu, coupled with the matter of the five princes and the previous punishment of the eldest princess, which made He Jieyu even more hateful to Concubine Shu.
This time knowing that the emperor and Concubine Shu were out of the palace, He Jieyu decided to attack the six princes, she felt that as long as the six princes died, Concubine Shu would definitely be in great pain, and without the six princes, Concubine Shu would have less to rely on in the harem.
It's a pity that the matter didn't work out, the emperor was still thunderous and angry, and wanted to investigate the matter thoroughly, He Jieyu was afraid that the little eunuch in the imperial dining room would expose her, so he ordered him to kill the little eunuch to prevent future troubles.
Lian Yongwang stood outside the door, waiting for Luo Chengjing to come out of the room, and then he stepped forward to give Luo Chengjing the 1510 reports he had found.
"He Jieyu did it?" Luo Chengjing raised his eyebrows.
Lian Yongwang nodded, he felt that what the little eunuch said was completely logical, He Jieyu had always been at odds with Concubine Shu, and it was normal for him to do such a thing.
Luo Chengjing stepped up, "Let's go to the court first, and then I will go to see He Jieyu later." ”
When Luo Chengjing appeared in Qingren Palace, He Jieyu had no surprise in her heart, only fear.
What is the emperor doing here, will it have something to do with the little eunuch who was taken away next to her?
Last night, people from all palaces were taken to the inner court prison for interrogation, and at first she didn't feel scared when the little eunuch beside her was taken away, but when the people from the other palaces were released early this morning, and the little eunuch next to her was nowhere to be seen, she began to be afraid.
He Jieyu forcibly squeezed out a smile, greeted her, and saluted: "The concubine has seen the emperor, how can the emperor have time to come to the concubine here today?" ”
Luo Chengjing didn't talk nonsense with He Jieyu, but asked directly: "Did the water walk in Shou'an Palace yesterday have anything to do with you?" ”
He Jieyu's heart suddenly burst, and she quickly shook her head and denied: "Your Majesty, this matter has absolutely nothing to do with the concubines. ”
"Really?" Luo Chengjing sat on the chair, staring at He Jieyu with dark eyes, and said, "But the eunuch who served beside you said that he was all instructed by you, is he slandering you?" ”
He Jieyu nodded again and again, "The emperor is sage, the concubine doesn't know why he wants to slander the concubine, but this really has nothing to do with the concubine." ”
She wants the six princes to die, and she also wants Lu Yuning and the fourth princess to die, and she will indeed do it if she has the opportunity, but this time it was really not her doing.
She couldn't understand why the eunuch next to her would say that she had instructed this, and that eunuch was the person she had relied on very much.
Could it be that he has been bought? betrayed her, so you deliberately slandered yourself?
And who is the man who bribed him to slander himself?
Is it possible that Concubine Shu directed and acted in this scene in order to get rid of her?
It's no wonder that He Jieyu thinks so, after all, the fire in Shou'an Palace, and the six princes who should have had an accident were unharmed.
He Jieyu felt a pity when she heard this result last night, but she didn't expect that in just one night, the evidence pointed to her.
"Your Majesty, you believe in the concubines, even if the concubines have the heart, they don't have the ability!" He Jieyu cried.
Luo Chengjing didn't speak, He Jieyu's words were exactly what he was thinking, He Jieyu did have the motive and reason to do this, but could He Jieyu instruct the move?
Mi'er is a second-class palace maid next to the Queen Mother, if Mi'er is really He Jieyu's person, why did He Jieyu never use Mi'er before.
"I want to believe you, too, but the testimony is there, how do you want me to believe you?" Luo Chengjing said lightly.
He Jieyu cried: "Your Majesty, does the testimony have to be true?" ”
Luo Chengjing was silent.
In Ruichang Palace, Lu Yuning handed the six princes into the arms of the new nurse and asked Zhou Mandao: "You said that the emperor went to Qingren Palace as soon as he went to the court?" ”
"Yes, master, I suspect that yesterday's fire may be related to He Jieyu." Zhou Mandao.
Lu Yuning didn't speak, and after wrinkling her eyebrows and pondering for a long time, she raised her head and said, "Do you think this incident is very similar to the previous time when the fifth prince was infected with smallpox?" ”
It's all key people who died immediately after the accident, but as long as you look closely, you can still find a clue looming to the person who pointed to it.
Last time, the clue pointed to her, and this time the clue pointed to He Jieyu.
But the person behind it last time was Princess Fengqing, and now that Princess Fengqing has died in Dongchi Kingdom, will she be controlling this matter in the back?
Or is the person behind the last incident of the five princes really Princess Fengqing?
Lu Yuning shook her head: No! That's not exact.
The person behind the matter of the five princes last time was Princess Fengqing, it was not wrong, except for Princess Fengqing, the other people in the palace could not move the fine work that Dongchi State had placed in Dayong.
It's just, is there only Princess Fengqing? Will there be one more person in it?
If there was such a person, who would it be? Lu Yuning was the first to think of Concubine Ming.
She had already suspected Concubine Ming about the matter of the fifth prince, and now the most motivated person is still Concubine Ming.
After getting rid of the six princes, the three princes will have one less strong competitor.
However, without evidence, she couldn't just go to the emperor and say that she suspected that Concubine Ming was going to do something to the six princes.
"Master, do you mean that He Jieyu didn't do this thing?" Zhou Man asked.
"It's also possible." Lu Yuning said, she is just a reasonable speculation, but there are no absolutes in the world, and it may be that she thinks too much, and this is what He Jieyu did.
But Zhou Man felt that Lu Yuning's suspicions were reasonable, thinking that the emperor had already gone to Qingren Palace at this time, he hurriedly said: "Master, the emperor will not have determined that He Jieyu did this and disposed of her, right?" ”
Although even if He Jieyu is really wronged, they, the people of Ruichang Palace, will only be efficient, and they will not feel aggrieved and unfair to why Jieyu.
But he didn't want the person who killed the Six Princes in his back to retreat like this.
The six princes were lucky to escape this fatal fire this time. If she doesn't find out the person behind it, who knows if she will hide behind her back and find the opportunity to attack the six princes again. There are only a thousand days to be a thief in this world, so is there a reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days?
