Chapter 382: Zhu Jiu Clan
At the prince's first birthday banquet, all the palace people in Zhang Wanrong's palace went to see the excitement of the prince, but Zhang Wanrong said that she was sick that night and her head hurt, and she also said that her personal maid could prove it.
The maidservant was very consistent with Zhang Wanrong's rhetoric at the beginning, saying that there were not many palace people in their palace, and she was the only one who served her wholeheartedly.
His Royal Highness the Prince's New Year's Banquet, the Taihe Hall sang and danced, and it was very lively, and the people in their palace all left their posts without permission and ran to the Taihe Hall to see the excitement, only she was waiting for the sick Zhang Wanrong,
And the other palace people also admitted that they looked down on people under severe torture, and they were unwilling to serve a mere grace who was neither favored nor powerful, and always opposed the queen's mother.
That night, they didn't see Zhang Wanrong's personal maid come out, thinking that Zhang Wanrong was not lying, she did have an alibi.
It's a pity that the emperor, like Jiang Xinyue, doesn't believe their testimony at all.
He didn't say anything, he just brought Zhang Wanrong into the Hanging Mirror Division, and then separated her from the maidservant.
said to Zhang Wanrong that the maid had already told the truth of that night, that is, she killed Cheng Guiren, and then dealt with and buried the body with the maidservant, and now the maid advocated that Zhang Wanrong killed people, and she just acted according to the master's orders, and asked the emperor to be extrajudicially merciful.
The slave didn't dare to disobey the master, if she didn't listen, the end would be a dead word, and she had no way to go along with Zhang Wanrong.
To the slave maid, the emperor said that Zhang Wanrong had admitted that it was his maid who accidentally killed Cheng Guiren, and he accidentally bumped into it, and the maid cried so pitifully that she was moved with compassion to help bury the corpse, and asked the emperor to be light.
The words were spread on both sides, and they all came out of nothing.
Zhang Wanrong was already suspicious, and when she was said like this, she would be able to recruit everything if she asked a few more words.
But she scolded the servant slut in the dungeon, saying that she couldn't confess her, as long as she was sick after biting her to death, who could find evidence that she was lying?
She is a transparent person in the harem, and no one cares whether an unfavored transparent person is a real disease or a fake disease.
So there is no way to find out the truth.
The servant girl was scolded by her so much that she made her evil deeds public, and Zhang Wanrong knew that the emperor was deceiving herself, and the servant girl did not betray her at all.
But I was scolded by her, and I was recruited if I didn't betray it, and it was too late to regret it.
Tang Shiliang shook his head: "Zhang Wanrong is worried that Niangniang, you deliberately promoted her sister-in-law and assigned her to the imperial dining room, just to let her catch the emperor's stomach with delicious food, and then recommend her to the emperor's favor." When she was at home, she bullied her sister-in-law when she was young and killed her sister's mother, and her heart was very weak. I was afraid that one day she would retaliate against her if she got the momentum, so I thought of teaching you a lesson, first plucked Cheng Guiren to do it, and then secretly helped her to do something. ”
As for Cheng Guiren, who is already dead, and Zhang Wanrong, who is still alive......
Cheng Guiren's father was originally demoted, but now he has been directly removed from his official position, and the whole family has been exiled to the mines of Bingzhou to dig coal.
And the culprit Zhang Wanrong was convicted of murdering the prince and was directly sentenced to the Nine Clans.
This is the first time Jiang Xinyue has seen the emperor and the nine clans since he traveled to the Great Yan Dynasty.
She knows that Emperor Xuanwu is a very good emperor, and he never thinks that human life is cheap, on the contrary, he is very respectful of life, and if he doesn't touch his bottom line, he never asks for people's lives easily.
Not to mention the Nine Clans.
Jiang Xinyue was very glad that the emperor did not be soft on Zhang Wanrong like he was to Concubine De, if he was not severely punished, the tragic ending of the first prince would be staged on Xiao Tuanzi again.
She wasn't a god, and she wasn't sure if she would be able to help her son avoid every poison.
All she knew was that if there was anything that threatened her son to grow up, she would do whatever it took to eradicate that threat.
The emperor is probably afraid that the old things will repeat themselves, so he will cut the grass and eradicate the roots.
In the imperial dining room, a girl with sleeves heard that the Zhang family was punished by the Nine Clans, her legs were weak, she fell to the ground and cried: "I knew that she was a mourning star, and she killed my mother and killed me, I finally can do what I like, she can't see me well, and she is so anxious to send me to see the king of Hades...... Anyone in the Zhang family can die, I can't die! I promised my aunt that I would definitely avenge her by honoring her ancestors! Ahh......hh I don't want to die! ”
"Who made you die?"
The magpie is holding a big cucumber in his hand, "Quack" is a mouthful, crisp and refreshing: "Xiuzhu little master, our mother said that yesterday's sauce chicken was delicious, and the emperor also likes it, let you make another one today." ”
Zhang Xiuzhu's crying stopped abruptly: "Don't kill me? ”
"What are you going to do with it? You have entered the palace, you are the emperor and the queen's mother, what does the nine clans of the Zhang family have to do with you? ”
In Zhang Xiuzhu's heart, the Zhang family has only one relative, that is, her aunt.
But the aunt had been killed by her sister Zhang Wanrong many years ago, and in order to cover up her crime, her father and grandmother also claimed to the house that the aunt had died of a serious illness.
How can it be?
She saw with her own eyes that Zhang Wanrong pushed her aunt into the well and drowned.
She was not convinced, and asked her father for justice, but not only did she not get justice, but she was also beaten with half her life by her grandmother on the charge of disobedience and framing her sister.
Since then, she has known that she has no home.
She wanted to rebel against the injustice of fate, so she could only use the superb cooking skills that her aunt had taught her, but she was trapped in the backyard of the Zhang family and didn't even have a chance to go out.
She also secretly disguised herself, sneaked out of the house, enlarged the kitchen in the restaurant incognito, saved a lot of silver, and accumulated fame as a chef under a pseudonym in the capital, but after being discovered, she was impersonated.
And after her father and mother-in-law found out, they served her again, scolding her for being embarrassed, showing her face, and being shameless.
She just wants to cook, what did she do wrong? Why is it a shame?
Does she obey the arrangement of her family, and in this life, she will take marrying as her own responsibility, and follow how her mother-in-law rubs it, even if it is a continuation for a corrupt official who is dozens of years older than herself, she must be grateful to Dai Ze and accept it?
Why?
So when she knew that there was a draft in the palace, and the sisters chosen by her father did not want to enter the palace, she secretly discussed with her sisters and changed the name on the draft list to her.
If you are destined to be pinched by your mother-in-law in this life, ignored by your father, trampled on and bullied...... Then she would rather enter the palace and flee far away.
She never expected that her cooking skills would be appreciated by the queen mother, and she was really allowed to enter the imperial dining room.
When the news of the Zhujiu clan came just now, she really hated Zhang Wanrong to death, even more than back then.
However, the magpie girl just said, don't kill her?
"Woooooooooo......oo Every day, sooner or later, I'm scared out of my guts and woo......"
