Chapter 279: A Situation Out of Control
"Yes, Your Majesty, the slave maid is Ling Guifei's personal palace maid, ten years ago, the slave maid saw the queen mother and the monk lead Mu Chengxiang into a sack, hijacked to the bed of the concubine Niangniang of Zhaoyang Palace, and framed the concubine Niangniang and Prime Minister Mu Cheng. ”
"Nonsense, bold and bold! You are clearly exonerating Concubine Ling and framing the palace. Come on, arrest this slut!" the queen scolded angrily, and as soon as her words fell, a few eunuchs came up and grabbed Hanyu's two arms.
Ziwei looked at the queen calmly, and the words she said were sharp and terrifying, "Hanyu has already accused you of plotting to frame Ling Guifei and Prime Minister Mu, but she is a witness, the queen, are you afraid, do you want to destroy the certificate?"
"You... , Mu Ziwei, don't slander people!" The queen stood up, Feng Yi was majestic, glaring at Ziwei angrily, and her tone was aggressive, "Who can prove that Hanyu did not frame this palace for the sake of loyalty to her master?"
"Hehe, Queen Mother, it turns out that you are so nonsense, no wonder Hanyu didn't dare to come forward to expose the facts ten years ago, but someone can prove that what Hanyu said is true. ”
Ziwei stared at the queen's surprised eyes, turned to bow to Concubine Pu, and then asked, "Concubine Pu, what did you see ten years ago?"
Concubine Pu was already restless at this time, for fear that Princess Xuan would let her come out to testify, and the more she was afraid of things, Princess Xuan still hit her.
Helpless, gritting her teeth, she slowly stood up from her seat, sighed, and said quietly:
"Your Majesty, for ten years, this matter has been tormenting the concubines, sleeping and eating is not fragrant, on the morning of Concubine Ling's accident, the concubines were waiting for you outside the gate of Zhaoyang Palace to see you, but they saw Shang Tong carrying a big bag, and the queen and the two people turned into the Zhaoyang Palace from the wall, the concubines intuitively felt that they did not do anything good, and they were so frightened that they were about to leave, they turned out of the wall again, Shang Yun threw the empty sack into the river under the bridge, and then the two left. The concubine was puzzled, so she knocked on the door of Zhaoyang Palace, and when she entered, she saw Prime Minister Mu and Concubine Ling sleeping naked on the bed..."
Concubine Pu ran out of Zhaoyang Palace in a panic, and happened to meet Shang Yun patrolling outside the palace, Shang Yun rushed into the palace, and Concubine Pu naturally became an eyewitness in the case of Ling Guifei and Prime Minister Mu. Ziwei added, and raised the hairpin to show everyone.
"This hairpin was found from the sack that was fished under the bridge, which is enough to prove that Ling Guifei and Prime Minister Mu Cheng were framed, and the mastermind is the queen mother!"
Ziwei knelt down, tears overflowing her clear eyes, "Your Majesty, the courtiers and daughters-in-law ask the emperor to punish the queen, kill Shang Yun, and make ordinary Zhaoxue for Ling Guifei and the prime minister's father!"
"Your Majesty, Princess Xuan is sharp and scheming, and her concubines are wronged!" The queen could no longer hold the graceful frame of the world, her expression was slightly panicked, kneeling on the ground, gritting her teeth and quibbling.
It is normal for the queen to look flustered now, but Shang Yun's face is stern, and she actually stands beside the emperor like a green pine, which makes Ziwei surprised.
Without waiting for the emperor to open his mouth to conclude the case, a eunuch from Kunning Palace rushed out from behind the queen and knelt on the ground.
Shang Yun died ten years ago, and the slave saw Commander Shang killed with a short sword by the queen's mother. The eunuch trembled and uttered shocking words, just because the leader in front of him was his savior, so he sacrificed his life today to tell the truth in order to repay his life-saving grace.
"Ah!" Xiaojin, the queen's palace maid, changed her face greatly, and she looked at Shang Yun in shock, "It turns out that you are not Brother Shang Yun, no wonder you are ruthless and unjust..."
Xiao Jin turned to the queen resentfully, and asked with trembling lips, "Niangniang, he... What he said was true? You killed Brother Shang Yun!?"
"Xiaojin, don't resent this palace, this palace treats you like a sister, can't this still match your relationship with Shang Yun?"
"Brother Shang Yun... Woo..."Xiao Jin was very sad and angry, crying bitterly, "No! Niangniang, Xiao Jin died for you, and you killed my beloved Brother Shang Yun, Brother Shang Yun!
Xiao Jin cried twice, suddenly stopped crying, glared at the queen with a sad face, and then, gritted his teeth, and knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, the slave maid saw with her own eyes that it was the queen mother who pushed Ling Guifei off the lotus pond!"
"Xiao Jin, you ......" The queen looked at Xiao Jin in astonishment, if it was only the crime of framing, she still had a trace of life, if it was the crime of murder, she would definitely die.
King Xuan was angry on the top of his head, and tears of grief and indignation suddenly welled up in his phoenix eyes, "Yin Xiuying, you vicious woman, this king will cut off your head today and pay tribute to the soul of the concubine!"
He jumped up, pulled the sword on Shang Yun's waist in his hand, and rushed straight towards the queen with the sword, and the speed of the thunder was dizzying.
The queen looked at the tip of the sword pointing at her throat, she was stunned, even if she had martial arts, she couldn't dodge King Xuan's lightning-fast sword speed.
It was too late for King Hao to stop, so he could only shout:
"The Queen Mother..."
With a single shot, a figure flew out of the crowd and knocked the queen to the ground with one palm, avoiding King Xuan's sharp blade. This person's figure is so fast, and he is not bad with King Xuan's skills, and everyone looks at him in a flash, he is actually He Zhifan, the prime minister of the dynasty.
He Zhifan stood firm and bowed to King Xuan and gave a big salute, "King Xuan is angry, and the old minister has the courage to advise, even if the queen deserves death, she should be given death by the emperor, and it is reasonable for you to assassinate the queen, and it is a transgression to the courtesy, which will damage your reputation." ”
Knowing that the mother concubine did not commit suicide, but was murdered by the queen, King Xuan's eyes burst with flames of hatred, at this time, what did he care about, if he didn't kill the enemy with his own hands, how could he swallow this resentment!
King Hao ran over to block the queen's body, glaring angrily, "King Xuan, if you want to kill your mother, you must stab through the chest of this king!"
"Dodge, the one who blocks this king will die!" King Xuan was already red-eyed.
"Xuan'er, put down the sword!" The emperor said angrily with a sad and calm face, sweeping towards the situation that was already a little out of control.
"Father..."King Xuan had to throw down his sword, forcibly suppressed his anger and stepped forward, kneeling in front of the emperor, "Father, the son of the emperor asks for an order to kill the queen and avenge the mother's concubine!"
"Father, the human and material evidence has been confirmed, the queen is extremely evil, framed the mother and the prime minister Mu Cheng, and killed the mother with her own hands, please ask the father to kill the queen!" Ziwei also knelt beside King Xuan and asked for an order.
"The ministers ask the emperor to severely punish the murderer, and be ashamed of Ling Guifei and Prime Minister Mu Cheng!" Mu Qingyang and Xin Ge took all the ministers to kneel down and ask for severe punishment of the murderer.
"Come on, take off Yin Xiuying's phoenix crown on the top, exempt Yin Xiuying from the title of qiē, demote to a concubine, put him in prison, and give Bai Aya to hang himself three days later. "The emperor was sad and indignant, he didn't expect that his beloved was murdered by the queen and died, and the concubine died so unjustly!
