Chapter 137: Losing face and falling out of favor
Fang Yu was carried back by Pei Yao all the way back to the Green Yun Pavilion.
When you go to a crowded place, you will inevitably be seen.
So soon, everyone knew that something had happened to Fang Yu here, especially the other two female relatives of the East Palace, Concubine Yang and He Liangdi, both came over.
It's just that Pei Yao didn't want to see anyone this time, so the two of them just came in and said a few words to Fang Yu, and they were directly sent away by Pei Yao.
When there were no outsiders present, Fang Yu relieved his mind and took the initiative to speak.
"Today's incident must not be an accident, it is the concubine who was careless, and she actually fell into a calculation, which made His Highness worried, but how did His Highness know that the concubine was in danger?"
"Lone came from Uncle Huang, Uncle Huang claimed that he had answered Rui Concubine in the morning and wanted to talk to her in the afternoon, but when Gu came to you, he heard Yanwei say that you were called by Rui Concubine, so it was not a conflict, so Gu brought people all the way to find it, and never wanted to hear Qingrong's cry for help."
Pei Yao replied in a deep voice.
It was also from Pei Yao's mouth that Fang Yu knew that the road she was taking, from the time she went around to the vicinity of the pool, was already wrong, and it was not going to Rui Concubine's residence at all.
"So the eunuch who came to deliver the message was not Concubine Rui's person, someone wanted to deliberately deceive the concubine."
After listening to Pei Yao's words, Fang Yu took this sentence in a low voice.
She had already thought about these questions when the accident happened.
Fang Yu narrowed his eyes and chuckled.
"Now that the concubine has offended the person, that is, the queen and the third princess, the mother and daughter can afford to be a concubine, and they have specially bothered to get rid of the concubine."
"They will repay it, their Li family has always acted like this." There was no lack of sarcasm in Pei Yao's tone, he paused, his eyes sank, and he continued, "Again and again, again and again, if Lone doesn't teach them a lesson this time, they are afraid that Lone is easy to bully, and Lone people, they can also move at will." ”
killed Fang Yu, on the surface, it was just Queen Li venting her anger, but it was Pei Yao's face that was hit.
This is naturally unbearable for Pei Yao.
An hour later, Hong Zheng returned.
The two wounded wolfdogs were caught, one died, and the other was captured alive.
At this time, the news that Fang Yu was deliberately murdered had spread throughout the entire villa.
Even Rui Concubine knew the news here.
Emperor Chengjing was here to talk to Rui Concubine, and naturally he also knew about it.
In this regard, Rui Concubine was not happy at the time, and cried aggrieved, saying that the person behind her actually wanted to use her name to do harmful things, and her heart could be punished.
If Fang Yu was really killed, and there was no proof of death, wouldn't she have to bear such a charge.
He also said that this person dared to blatantly kill the royal ladies under the nose of Emperor Chengjing, in the royal villa, which shows contempt for Tianwei, boldness, and clouds.
There was Rui Concubine crying and making trouble like this, which made Emperor Chengjing feel sorry and pitiful, and ordered someone to investigate, plus Pei Yao's side, he was also determined to investigate to the end this time, so soon, Queen Li panicked.
"This group of waste, just killing a woman who has no power to restrain the chicken, this little thing can be done, what does this palace want them to do, why don't you hurry up and destroy the evidence!"
"Queen Mother, only the dead can't speak, so you have to take care of them quickly!"
The third princess next to her had a fierce look on her face, and immediately stepped forward.
Empress Li's face was gloomy, and she glared at the palace maid beside her, "Don't go quickly!" ”
As everyone knows, this is the case, but something happened.
Pei Yao had already led people to catch the eunuch who led the way, as well as the guards who trained dogs and hurt people, just waiting for Queen Li to come and kill people.
So half an hour later, Emperor Chengjing received the news that the prince asked to see him.
At that time, Emperor Chengjing was still by Rui Concubine's side, and Rui Concubine naturally asked Emperor Chengjing to see Pei Yao.
So not long after, Pei Yao led the two of them and two dogs and appeared in front of Emperor Chengjing.
"Erchen see Uncle Huang!"
"No courtesy." Emperor Chengjing frowned and looked at the thing behind him, "What's going on?" ”
Pei Yao arched his hand and said in a deep voice.
"Presumably, the imperial uncle already knew that the concubine's concubine was murdered by wicked people, and these two people were the minions of the perpetrator, and these two wolf dogs were trained by this guard and secretly hid in the villa to hurt people."
After hearing his words, Emperor Chengjing's face changed for a while.
Before he could say anything, Pei Yao had already continued.
"This eunuch, Uncle Huang may not know him, but this guard who trains dogs, presumably Uncle Huang will not be too unfamiliar, this person is a side branch of the Li family, and in terms of it, he can be regarded as the nephew of the queen's mother."
Emperor Chengjing is not a fool, he has already guessed that this incident is the queen's handiwork, but he naturally still wants to protect his family, but at this time, Pei Yao has already been stolen, and he can't be allowed to deny it.
I had to look at the guard.
"Say, why do you want to train a dog and hurt people!"
"Wechen is guilty, because Wechen can't get used to seeing the queen and princess being wronged, so."
The guard gritted his teeth and was about to take responsibility for himself, when he was interrupted by Pei Yao's cold voice.
"So your courtiers dare to commit a crime and plot to murder the royal family, is this the confidence given to you by Prime Minister Li Cheng, who dares to despise the royal family? On that day, the princess's maid made a mistake and murdered Rui Concubine and the imperial heir, so she was given death by the emperor, you said that the queen and the princess were wronged, this is to say that the emperor is at fault, it shouldn't be like this?! ”
The successive aggressive questions made the guard speechless for a while.
Pei Yao snorted coldly, and turned to Emperor Chengjing.
"Uncle Huang, the people of the Li family, even the juniors of the side branches have been presumptuous to this point, despise Tianwei, and dare to murder the royal family in the royal manor, and the sons have to wonder if Prime Minister Li Cheng has a heart of disobedience, so the Li clan is so bold!"
Originally, Emperor Chengjing didn't think in this direction, but after Pei Yao said this, his heart was also up in his heart.
People are like this, I am willing to give it to you, and it is one thing for you to take it, and it is one thing for you to covet my things and think that mine should be yours, and you want to take them.
It is true that Emperor Chengjing wants to pass on the throne to his own son, the eldest prince, but this does not mean that the eldest prince can now regard the dragon chair under him as his own, let alone that the Li family, a courtier, can do so!
Last time, Rui Concubine was born prematurely, which was done by the third princess, and this time Queen Li blatantly intercepted and killed the female relatives of the East Palace, and the courage of the mother and daughter was the same.
After being pointed out by Pei Yao, Emperor Chengjing was also unhappy in his heart.
Looking at the two minions of Queen Li in front of him, he didn't even want to interrogate, and after a moment of silence, he directly ordered.
"These two dogs, those who murdered the royal family, were immediately killed, the queen, narrow-minded, discredited by the emperor, and failed to restrain the clansmen, causing the Li family to despise Tianwei and act boldly, so they were immediately sent back to the palace and grounded for reflection!"
In the end, Emperor Chengjing didn't say anything about Empress Li's murder of Fang Yu, and the pot was still topped by the guard.
After all, the queen is the mother of the country, and even the emperor cannot easily shake this position, let alone easily let the mother of the country bear the stain of crime.
So even if everyone knows it, this crime will not be pressed on the queen's head in the end.
But the result Pei Yao wanted had already been achieved, and that was enough.
Empress Li was sent back to the palace to be grounded, which was enough to make her lose face and fall out of favor for a long time, and the Li family would also be honest and silent for a while because of Emperor Chengjing's words and the dead guard.
