Chapter 111: Murderous Heart

Mu Qingchen took Shen Bining to Cumulus Temple, and under the arrangement of Master Zhitong, Shen Bining and the second lady met.

Although Shen Bining believed in Mu Qingchen in her heart and knew that her mother was not dead, she didn't see it with her own eyes, she was always uneasy, and now that she could see her mother appear in front of her, she felt another layer of gratitude to Mu Qingchen in her heart.

"The Prime Minister's Mansion is in front, and the palace will go back to the house first, and Concubine Shen will ask for it. Mu Qingchen lifted the curtain next to the carriage and looked at it, turned his head and said to Shen Bining.

"The concubine is grateful to the princess for sending her. Shen Bining nodded, got out of the carriage, accompanied by Nuan Dong, and slowly walked towards the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Mu Qingchen looked at the back of Shen Bining entering the Prime Minister's Mansion, with a smile in his eyes, he lowered the curtain and instructed the coachman to drive the car directly to the gate of King Yi's Mansion, take the first step, and return to Luluoju.

"Princess, the Lord of the Night Hall hasn't been here for a few days, and we haven't known the news from the palace for a few days. Lu Luo Curie, Shuyu said to Qingchen, looking a little worried.

"He has been discovered by Xiao Ling and is no longer suitable to appear in front of me. Qingchen said, "After Shen Bining returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion to see Shen He, the sky in the palace will change in the next few days, we just need to wait and see what happens." ”

"Yes. Grip Yu nodded, thought for a moment, and then spoke again, "Princess, there is something that the slave maid doesn't know whether to say or not. ”

"You're not a twister, and there's no one else here, so if you have anything to say, just say it. Qingchen said with a smile.

"Last June...... It was the day when the Ye family was wiped out. Grip Yu looked at Qingchen and finally spoke.

Hearing this, Qingchen raised his head and looked at Zhan Yu, his eyes suddenly tightened, his expression was inexplicable, and the memories in his mind were overwhelming at this moment.

In June last year, that day of heavy rain was the day when the Ye family was wiped out, and she was sent to Huangquan Road by two cups of poisoned wine. It's the end of May, and it's ...... soon It is the death day of the Ye family and her own.

Unconsciously, it has been nearly a year, and the bones of the Ye family's bodies are still vivid, but she has not even finished half of what she wants to do, Xiao Ling is safely seated on the throne, and her hatred is ...... It's not done yet.

"Go and prepare pen and ink, from today onwards, the palace will not go anywhere in Luluoju, concentrate on copying Buddhist scriptures and praying for the deceased" Qingchen took a deep breath, so ordered, and walked to the side of the case, closing his eyes and pondering.

Soon, Zhan Yu and Jin Yan prepared the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and saw that Qingchen's face didn't seem to be right, so they didn't say anything, just quietly retreated and quietly guarded the door.

A door separates the two worlds of Luluoju and the outside, Luluoju is silent inside, but outside is turbulent.

Shen Bining handed over the letter from Concubine De Niangniang in the palace to Prime Minister Shen He, then stopped and turned to leave, Shen He looked at the familiar handwriting on the letter, but just shook his head, lit the candle, and burned the letter.

In Shen Bihuan's letter, Shen He asked Shen He to write to Xiao Ling to admonish him, stating the exploits of the Empress Dowager before the emperor ascended the throne, so that Xiao Ling blamed himself in his heart, trying to exchange this for Xiao Ling's compromise, and then keep the position of the Shen family.

When Shen He saw this letter, he knew that it was not his sister's idea, but his daughter's decision. Because Shen Yuan wanted the Shen family to prosper, how could he come up with such a solution?

The more at this time, the more the Shen family can't make any moves, only if they don't move, they won't make mistakes, and the emperor has no reason to suppress the Shen family. If he really goes to the book, he will give the emperor an excuse, saying that he is a big rebel against the Shen family, and then justifiably take the Shen family.

But Shen He didn't expect that when he went to court the next day, Xiao Ling threw down a piece of music from the high dragon chair at him, and then said coldly:

"Shen Aiqing, take a look for yourself, what is this?"

Shen He was shocked in his heart, picked up the piece of music thrown down by Xiao Ling from the ground, opened it and looked at it, and then his face changed greatly, and he knelt in the center of the hall with a plop, and said in a trembling voice:

"Your Majesty, this ...... This is definitely not written by Wechenβ€”"

"Let's take a look at all Aiqing, lest Prime Minister Shen say that I wronged him. When Xiao Ling heard Shen He's words, he waved his hand and glanced at the six Shangshu standing below.

The Shangshu of the Criminal Department took the lead in stepping forward, took the fold from Shen He's hand, looked at it twice, and handed it to the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites behind him, and then knelt beside Shen He, and said:

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Shen Cheng deceived the monarch and rebelled, and asked the emperor to punish him heavily. ”

As the words of the Criminal Department Shangshu fell, the courtiers behind him also watched the notes thrown down by Xiao Ling, some of them knelt down to support the words of the Criminal Department Shangshu, and the other part stood and waited and watched.

This recital is played by Prime Minister Shen He, and the recital says that before the emperor ascended the throne, the current queen mother has worked hard for the emperor and has made great contributions to the stability of the Ningyue Dynasty, but now the emperor has put the queen mother under house arrest in Ci'an Palace because of her illness, and she is not allowed to go out, and she accuses the emperor of disobedience and unfilial piety. The handwriting on the fold is the same as Shen He's, and it even has the unique official seal of Prime Minister Ning Yue.

The courtiers are not stupid, especially the courtiers who witnessed the affair between the Queen Mother and Duan Hong, and knew that the so-called Queen Mother's illness was just a high-sounding excuse, because the royal family could not afford to lose this face, so they used the illness to explain why the Queen Mother stayed at home in Ci'an Palace.

But everyone knew better in their hearts that no matter how irrational the Queen Mother was, she would not do such a thing that would insult the reputation of the royal family, and no matter how much Shen He wanted to protect the Queen Mother, he would not write such rebellious words on this fold.

Therefore, after everyone's minds turned around a thousand times, they also understood that whether it was the matter between the Queen Mother and Duan Hong, or Shen He's twists and turns, someone deliberately framed them, and the purpose was to deal with the Queen Mother and the Shen family.

And now, the person who has the ability to play with the Shen family and the Queen Mother in applause, and is quite jealous of the Shen family, is naturally the saint today.

The emperor is going to take the Shen family.

This thought flashed in the hearts of the courtiers, and before they could hear what Xiao Ling had to do, they heard Qin Xi's report from outside the hall, saying that Concubine De asked to see her.

Xiao Ling squinted his eyes and coldly spit out a word: "Xuan." ”

"Concubine Xuande's mother-" Qin Xi shouted loudly outside, and everyone followed the sound, and saw Shen Bihuan dressed up, slowly stepping into the hall, kneeling beside his father.

"The concubines see the emperor. Shen Bihuan leaned over and saluted.

"Concubine De, do you know the guilt of trespassing on the place where the courtiers are discussing?" Xiao Ling opened his mouth without asking what he meant, and asked the guilty first.

"The concubine is guilty, but it is about the concubine's father, so the concubine would rather accept the guilt than come to the audience. Shen Bihuan said, looking at Xiao Ling, as if he saw some kind of encouragement in Xiao Ling's eyes.

"Niangniang, explain to the emperor quickly, this piece of music is definitely not written by Wei Chen, someone must have framed it. When Shen He saw Shen Bihuan, it was like seeing a savior, and he immediately took the fold from someone else's hand, handed it to Shen Bihuan, and spoke.

Shen Bihuan took the fold and looked at it, then closed it and said, "Father, this fold is clearly your handwriting, and the prime minister's seal cannot be faked, how can you let your daughter believe you?"

"Niangniang......" Shen He looked at Shen Bihuan in disbelief, and was speechless for a while, not knowing what to say.

"Your Majesty, the concubines came today to kill their relatives in righteousness. Shen Bihuan said, suddenly raised his head and looked at Xiao Ling, "The Queen Mother is sick in bed, and the emperor is also worried about the Queen Mother's body, so the Queen Mother will not be allowed to leave the Ci'an Palace, but Prime Minister Shen He does not understand the holy will, but instead deceives the monarch and rebels, his crime is really heinous, and he asks the emperor to surrender." ”

Shen Bihuan said as he took out a letter from his sleeve and presented it to Xiao Ling.

Seeing this, Qin Xi took the letter from Shen Bihuan's hand and presented it to Xiao Ling. Xiao Ling opened the letter casually, looked at it, and then handed it to Qin Xi, and said, "Take it down and take a look at it." ”

The letter that Shen Bihuan took out was like a fold just now, passed around in the hands of everyone, and then fell into Shen He's hands, but saw Shen He looking at the content of the letter, his eyes widened, and he looked at Shen Bihuan, even more unbelievable than when he saw the fold before.

"Shen He instigated the concubine to murder the emperor, plotting against him, there is a cholera dynasty, shaking the country's foundation, the concubine is the daughter of Shen He, she knows that she is guilty, and she does not dare to ask the emperor for forgiveness, but only asks the emperor to read it for the sake of her father's old age and infirmity, and she will be treated lightly. Shen Bihuan spoke loudly.

The handwriting on this letter is exactly the same as Fang Cai's recital, and it is all from Shen He's hand. However, the letter was Shen He who instigated Shen Bihuan to pretend to be pregnant to deceive Xiao Ling and the courtiers, and when he was about to give birth, he brought a baby from outside the palace to act as the prince, and then poisoned Xiao Ling, and Shen Bihuan sat in the position of the queen mother with this child, and listened to the government.

At that time, the emperor is young, and Shen Bihuan is a woman, so he will definitely rely more on the Shen family, and the position of the Shen family will become more and more stable, so that it will be truly prosperous, written clearly in black and white, and every word and sentence is a big crime of bullying the king.

Shen He knew in his heart that since the fold and seal could be faked, this letter was naturally fake, but he didn't expect that on top of this hall today, the one who made him speechless and put him to death was actually his own daughter, the concubine he had planned all his life to send her to the phoenix throne.

"Shen He, are you guilty?" Xiao Ling sat on the high platform, looked at all this coldly, and asked.

If you want to add to the crime, there is no excuse, Shen He sighed, glanced at Shen Bihuan deeply, and then lowered his head dejectedly, looking like he was at his disposal.

The betrayal of his own daughter must have let Xiao Ling know everything he had done, even if he wanted to cover it up, he couldn't escape Xiao Ling's secret guards. Since Xiao Ling was able to forge a letter and a letter to frame him, it shows that Xiao Ling really had murderous intentions, no matter whether he pleaded guilty or not today, Xiao Ling always had a way to punish him.

He believed that it was not only the disguised folds and letters, but also the Shen family at this time, there must be other so-called criminal evidence.
