Even if Wei Yan sealed the mouths of all those in the know, the fact that Geng Chongrong had Concubine Ning's earrings hidden in his abdomen quickly spread throughout the harem under the propaganda of well-intentioned people.

All of a sudden, the arguments about Concubine Ning's fierce jealousy, killing concubines at will, and bewitching the emperor became noisy.

In this regard, Concubine Ning was extremely calm, and released the news early, saying that the earrings had been lost a long time ago, and in order not to affect the relationship between her and the emperor, she had not looked for them with great fanfare.

As for why the lost earrings appeared on Geng Chongrong's abdomen, forgive her Concubine Ning is just a harem concubine, there is no problem in managing palace affairs, after all, she is not a professional case-handling officer, and she can't give an answer.

However, if you want to convict her with an earring, Dali Temple must always find more conclusive evidence, otherwise, she will never admit her guilt if she can bewitch the emperor.

The evidence for one earring was indeed too thin, and soon the pearl was mentioned again as it passed by the lotus pond that day.

What Wei Yan did when he assigned Pearl to go to the lotus pond early in the morning was also questioned by the courtiers.

Some courtiers even speculated that the emperor deliberately said that the pearl was assigned by himself in order to keep Concubine Ning.

But Wei Yan didn't say anything, and the courtiers didn't dare to go to the Qianqing Palace to question, so they only dared to talk quietly in private.

Until this day, the king of Toutie knelt at the gate of the palace, asking the emperor to hand over Concubine Ning and be judged by Dali Temple.

Yu Shi, you always have to do something against the holy will to show your sense of existence, Wei Yan didn't pay much attention to it.

But with the passage of time, the imperial history has changed from one person to many people, except for the imperial historian, all the imperial history of the Wei Dynasty knelt at the gate of the palace, and there was a great momentum that if Concubine Ning was not handed over, he would die of admonishment.

Wei Yan looked at the imperial historian in front of him and sneered twice: "All the imperial historians are kneeling at the gate of the palace, you don't know!" His Majesty is so unfavorable, what else can he do? ”

The imperial historian wiped the sweat from his forehead, he never thought that he would be collectively set up by the people below like this, not to blame the emperor for being angry, and now he is counting on this opportunity to clean up these imperial histories, and he can also take the opportunity to install some of his own people.

"That's it, let those royal historians come in, and don't let them know the progress of the case, I'm afraid that they will keep staring at Concubine Ning."

Concubine Ning did not burst into a thunderous state as usual when she heard the news in Yanxi Palace, and after getting rid of her selfishness, her relationship with Wei Yan was now just a partner.

Even if Wei Yan was forced by the pressure of Yushi and really pushed her out, she thought that she had a bad vision for choosing her boss, anyway, the remuneration had been negotiated, and she was not worried that she would lose at all.

In the Qianqing Palace, after the imperial historians bowed to the emperor, they saw the imperial historian for the first time, and then, collectively turned their heads and regarded the imperial historian as air.

As for the Imperial Doctor, the Imperial Doctor has already said that he has suffered too many blows, and this one is not bad.

Wei Yan looked at the imperial historians who were kneeling on the ground, and rubbed his eyebrows, Fang Ce's strategy was linked one by one, which could be called step by step, except for the different positions, Wei Yan really appreciated Fang Ce, but it was a pity that such a person was caught up early by the group of bastards of the Fang family.

"Your Majesty, the ministers asked the emperor to hand over Concubine Ning to Dali Temple for trial, in order to comfort the spirit of General Geng's family in the sky and show the clarity of the court to the subjects of the world."

Wei Yan curled his middle finger and tapped on the armchair, sneering at the words of Wang Yushi, who was the leader.

"What does Lord Wang mean that it has been determined that Geng Chongrong's death was committed by Concubine Ning?"

"Naturally, first Concubine Ning and Guard Zhang colluded to frame Concubine Ding, and then Concubine Ning's maid Pearl passed by the scene of the crime that day, and even before General Geng and his wife died, they kept identifying Concubine Ning, how to do it?"

Wei Yan sneered twice and sighed: "I don't know, it turns out that the criminal law of the Wei Dynasty has become like this. Dali Temple did not make a judgment, and the imperial history was able to make a decision based on hearsay. It doesn't even matter if the evidence is incomplete, it is all up to you, the ministers, to touch their lips and convict them. Sure enough, they are all pillars of the imperial court, with such efficiency, why don't I worry about the people of the world not having a good time! ”

Wei Yan's ridicule made the royal historians blush, but now, if Concubine Ning's fault is not confirmed, they really lost their wives and soldiers.

What's more, what a profitable thing, as long as the emperor's favorite Concubine Ning is pulled off the horse, it will be easy to leave a name in history!

"Your Majesty, the ministers are also afraid that the emperor will be deceived by the harem women, Geng Chongrong's case is now boiling, and the case needs to be closed as soon as possible to appease the people's discussions!"

"So you are trying to close the case as soon as possible, calm down public opinion, and let me ignore the truth and push Concubine Ning out of the top tank at will? With a caring courtier like you, I really can't be stupid! ”

The imperial historians kowtowed again and again, saying that they didn't dare.

They believe that as long as the emperor is willing to push the case forward, Concubine Ning will be convicted, and it will happen sooner or later.

"Come on, spread the Dali Temple, and then invite Concubine Ning."

After Wei Yan gave the order, he didn't mean to call the imperial historians to get up, and said: "Since you are so concerned about Geng Chongrong's case, I will use this Qianqing Palace as a yamen today to try this case well, and it is better than your hearsay, and casually arrange a name for Concubine Ning as a traitor concubine who will bring disaster to the country and the people." ”

The imperial historians lowered their heads in unison, they never expected Wei Yan to defend Concubine Ning like this, but because of this, they were even more motivated in their hearts.

After all, there is nothing more rewarding than pressuring the emperor to do what he doesn't want to do.

Concubine Ning and Lord Zhengcui of Dali Temple arrived quickly, the two had a special tacit understanding, and Qi Qi ignored the imperial history that knelt all over the ground, don't ask why, it's annoying to ask.

"Lord Cui, tell you about the current investigation of Geng Chongrong's case, let's also evaluate and evaluate together, is Concubine Ning really the murderer of Geng Chongrong?"

Master Cui lowered his head and quickly dictated all the things found in Dali Temple, and also sent earrings and other physical evidence.

"Based on the current verified situation, the pearl in Concubine Ning's palace did have time to commit the crime because the emperor ordered her to pass by the lotus pond early that morning, and the earrings in Geng Chongrong's abdomen were most likely torn off and swallowed during the struggle with her killer."

As soon as Master Cui's voice fell, Wang Yushi immediately said: "The facts are already very clear, does the emperor still want to protect Concubine Ning?" ”

Before Wei Yan could speak, Master Cui had already turned around and said, "No, Lord Wang, the facts have not been clarified. Although human and physical evidence all indicate that this matter is related to Concubine Ning, death has always been divided into two types, suicide and homicide, and we cannot rule out the possibility of Geng Chongrong's suicide now. ”

Wang Yushi stiffened his neck and said: "Geng Chongrong's letter has confirmed that Geng Chongrong has absolutely no personal feelings, since she has entered the palace and become a concubine, what is worth her suicide?" ”

"That's what Geng Chongrong is doing. However, what Lord Wang said is very true, whether he kills or commits suicide, there must be a motive. So Lord Wang kept saying that Concubine Ning instructed Pearl to kill, what was the motive? ”

"Harem concubines, what else can they do besides competing for favor?"

"Competing for favor? That Concubine Ning is afraid that she killed the wrong person. After all, when the three concubines entered the palace that day, the first thing the emperor went to was Zhaoyang Palace, which is the concubine's mother, and it is even more favored to this day. And a full-fledged lady who has never even seen the emperor, why does Concubine Ning have to do this? ”

"Didn't Concubine Ke Ning later try to frame Concubine Ding and blame Concubine Ding's death on Concubine Ding's mother?"

"This is true, Concubine Ning has also admitted it, but the minister heard that there is another secret in it?"

Master Cui looked at Concubine Ning, and Concubine Ning hooked her lips and smiled.

"Since Lord Cui tried the case, this palace has actively cooperated, and everything is very small. It's just that the palace itself has no basis for saying it, so why don't you call Concubine Ding together? ”
