Chapter 157: Dead Bite
If the appearance of the big black snake frightened the three princes, then when they heard the jailer say that it was not an accident that they were locked in a cell with snakes, it really shocked the hearts of the three princes.
The jailers on duty naturally had to stay on duty in the prison, and although there were no stories to listen to, those who were not on duty did not disperse.
They all gathered in the courtyard of the prison and gossiped, some of them talked about "Journey to the West", and lamented that they would never hear the ending again. More people sighed and worried about the future of the princes.
"Everyone, everyone." The little eunuch who had come to invite a few His Highnesses to take him away came over again, and when he was far away, he shouted, "Brothers, come quickly." ”
The big guys were worried that they had nowhere to inquire about the news, so they all hurriedly surrounded them. The little eunuch didn't have a chance to open his mouth to speak, and everyone asked me nonsense.
"Don't say it, don't say it." The little eunuch kept shouting down with his two hands, and everyone finally quieted down. "Listen to me, our family is here to bring people, who of you knows the details and go to our family to face the saint."
"What's the matter?" Face saint is not a trivial matter, who knows if it is a good thing or a bad thing?
The little eunuch briefly told the princes in the Qianqing Palace about the complaint against the queen, and a large part of the jailers were very enthusiastic and willing to go. The little eunuch took seven or eight articulate people to the Qianqing Palace.
Everyone came prepared, so they naturally knew what to say, and the jailer handed over the powder.
"This is the small one given by Xu Gong bus." A small leader of the jailer presented a paper bag with both hands, and Grandpa Jing took it.
"I'm going to be examined by the hospital." The emperor was so angry that he trembled, and Gonggong Jing hurriedly ordered someone to call the imperial doctor over.
Father-in-law Xu was a little eunuch working under Father-in-law Xi, and the queen was so angry when she saw that the jailers were boldly betraying her.
"You people who don't know how to die, dare to collude with the prince to slander the palace, don't you even want a head?" The queen pointed at the jailers and yelled.
Naturally, the jailers did not dare to speak back, so they could only listen honestly. After a while, a lot of people came in, including imperial doctors and eunuchs.
"Go see who gave you the medicine." The emperor can be confused about other things, but he has seriously investigated this matter.
"Yes." The jailer turned around and saw that there were more than twenty little eunuchs standing behind him, all dressed in the same clothes, and they all looked similar.
"That's him." Although he has only met once, that father-in-law Xu is still very recognizable, and there is a red mole on his eyebrows that is not too big.
When Father-in-law Xu saw that the jailer, the prince, and the medicine bag were all there, he knew what was going on. He glanced up at the queen, only to see that the queen's phoenix eyes shot out two compelling rays of light like lightning.
What is a Queen? It's the emperor's wife, what's the point of biting the queen? Who can really bring down the queen? The consequence of shaking the queen out is that the whole family will have to die, and it is better to resist alone.
Father-in-law Xu stepped forward and knelt down, and he didn't need to be tortured to open his own move, and he resisted all the guilt alone. said that the crown princess and the third highness had reprimanded him, so he held a grudge and took the opportunity to make things worse.
Everyone knew in their hearts that Father-in-law Xu was taking the queen's blame with death, and Father-in-law Xu was pulled out and killed with a cane.
The evidence of the queen's great crimes was gone, and the emperor had no choice but to 'condone his subordinates and discipline them laxly.' The queen was sentenced to six months' imprisonment.
These princes were unjustly imprisoned and suffered so many crimes, and as a result, a little eunuch and the queen's six-month grounding were all over, and the princes were really a little sad in their hearts.
They are unwilling but helpless, they do not know that in fact, there is no difference between a six-month confinement and the death penalty.
The emperor doesn't want to sentence the queen to death now, so any evidence is useless, if the emperor wants to sentence the queen to death, is the evidence still a thing?
"Father!" Prince Tai, the prince of the Nine Emperors, took two steps forward and knelt down straight: "Erchen still has something to say." ”
Ye Guyuan always touched the ground with his forehead, and he didn't raise his head when he knocked down.
"Get up and speak." The emperor was so angry that he didn't have much strength, and the concubines still used some snacks in the courtyard, but the emperor didn't have lunch.
"No, the retainer is guilty." Ye Gu Yuanheng raised his head, his body knelt straight, two lines of tears rolled down, his head, face, neck and even his ears were red, obviously he was surging in blood now.
"Erchen shouldn't deceive the king, it's just that the eldest brother has repeatedly asked me not to say it, I'll just "Ye Gu Yuanheng thought of the eldest brother's heartache even more unbearable, and couldn't help crying loudly.
"Tell me something." The emperor's eyebrows are twisted, why is this still involving the prince?
"No, if I don't get up, even if I lose my life today, I will also take her justice." Ye Guyuan fought hard, saying that he would push the queen to the guillotine.
He burst into tears and stirred the emperor's heart, these children have indeed suffered too much, today the sixth child cried a heartbeat, he cried for the grievances he suffered in prison.
Lao Jiu cried hoarsely again, he hated the sky and didn't look like it was for himself, what did the queen do?
The Seventh Prince was a little stunned, he thought that he hated the queen the most, after all, he was the only one among these people who really made a move with the queen.
Now it seems that this is not the case at all, the third prince completely ignored others saying that he was not innocent with the crown princess, and pulled the crown princess in public, rolled up her butterfly sleeves, and grabbed her hand to show everyone.
This is simply ignoring everything, just to accuse the queen of committing murder.
The sixth prince abandoned the prince's shelf, put down the dignity of a man, and cried bitterly about the humiliation he suffered in prison.
The Nine Emperors are now almost in a state of madness, and this is desperate. It turned out that they all hated the queen more than themselves.
The seventh prince thought that the third and sixth children might have the same idea as him, that is, if they didn't bring down the queen, their mother would be even more unhappy in the palace. And Lao Jiu is a motherless child, why is he?
Why? Revenge, of course. In order to avenge the prince, Ye Gu Yuanheng identified the queen as the murderer on the day he received the prince's funeral report, but he had no way to find out the evidence.
Now there is no evidence that the queen killed the crown prince, but he can come up with evidence that the queen killed the prince's son.
Ye Gu Yuanhong once warned him very seriously that this matter should not be said no matter what.
The reason given to him is: Even if you shake this matter out, the father is helpless, at most he will die a few scapegoats, and it will alarm the queen because of this, and it will be more difficult to bring her down in the future.
What Lao Jiu didn't know was that the real reason why Ye Gu Yuanhong didn't let him say it was that he was afraid that the crown princess would know the truth.
