famous eldest daughter

Chapter 648 Confession
I don't know whether it was because the threshold was too high or because Hu Zheng was feeling weak. He stepped in with his front foot but failed to keep up with his back foot. He tripped over the threshold and threw himself forward.

In addition, he was wrapped like a rice dumpling, and the fall was so solid that he immediately blurted out a wail regardless of the occasion. He screamed for just a moment, and then realized that he couldn't hit this place, and his voice suddenly broke out again. Stop.

When the little chamberlain dragged him up from the ground, his nose and mouth were stained with blood, and his eyes were blurry. He looked at the emperor in horror. He was pushed forward a few steps. Before he reached the desk, his knees were weak and he collapsed. Kneel down.

He didn't know whether it was because he was frightened by the fall just now, or because the atmosphere in the imperial study room was so solemn that it made people feel frightened, or because he had been tied up by Concubine Hui for a whole day. He was so frightened that he lost his mind.

The two maids guarding him had not stopped talking since the moment he was tied up.

He kept saying that the running water torture instruments in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment were not as good as the moves of the Shenxing Division, that any living person who entered the Shenxing Division would go crazy even if he did not die, and that the Empress was raped in just a few months. After being grounded twice, His Majesty was even more furious this time. He was afraid that he would not be able to protect himself, let alone support others, so he could just die. However, some people still have eighty-year-old mothers with concubines in their arms. There is a three-month-old milk baby...

Such things, he said angrily. At first, Hu Zheng only felt upset after hearing it, but later, his scalp became numb and his heart trembled more and more.

At this moment, when he entered the imperial study, before the emperor could ask, he kowtowed and confessed his guilt like a round rice dumpling.

"Your Majesty forgives me, I am guilty, I plead guilty, but I really have no choice but to do it because the Queen forced me to do it. I beg your Majesty to spare my life." As he kowtowed, tears and snot were flowing freely.

The emperor looked at it and couldn't help frowning.

The anger on his face was like a poisonous snake spitting out its words.

He kept silent and just stared coldly at Hu Zheng. A string of jade rosary beads in his hand was tapped rhythmically on the table, making a small but enough vibration to make Hu Zheng's whole body tremble.

Under the pressure of this majesty, Hu Zheng said with chaff in his eyes: "Your Majesty has clearly noticed that regarding the matter of Didui Zhai, I am just an errand boy. I have not had any hands on any of the profits. All of them have been handed over to the Queen." In the hands of the empress.”

As he spoke, the emperor's originally angry face suddenly became stagnant, and he was filled with shock.

The eyes are full of illustrious words, written with surprise: What did you say!
Didui Zhai...Profit...

what are you saying!Why can’t I understand!
The emperor originally thought that what Hu Zheng confessed was that he had an affair with the queen, or that the queen used his identity as an imperial physician to let him secretly do harm to others. However, he never expected that when Hu Zheng opened his mouth, it turned out to be Say the words.

The emperor's hand that was tapping the jade rosary paused. His breath froze. He leaned forward, looked directly at Hu Zheng, and said, "Tell me the details about Didui Zhai."

He ordered like this, but his mind was spinning a few times, Dicui Zhai, Dicui Zhai... Why does this name sound so familiar, as if I have heard it just now!
As the memories turned over, the emperor's heart suddenly felt as if a thick wooden wedge had been nailed into it, cutting off the blood flow all over his body. Zhai captured the Miao gangster named Miao Er!
The place where Miao gangsters gathered to conspire, how could they be related to the queen? His heart and mind were in turmoil, and the emperor couldn't help but squeeze the jade rosary beads with his hand.

With just a "click" sound, three or five of the round jade beads were crushed to pieces by him.

Xiao Yu and Concubine Hui, who were standing silently on one side, seemed to be looking at each other.

Hu Zheng didn't know that the emperor was in unbelievable shock. He just thought it was because he was angry about what he had done. He immediately said honestly and tremblingly: "Three years ago, the queen asked me to help her open a romantic place in Huaxiang'er. As a source of extra income for her.”

"At that time, Dicui Zhai could hardly continue due to a life-threatening lawsuit, so I took it over and settled all matters privately under the banner of the Queen. The officials involved were worried about the Queen. The secret was exposed, and within the next few months, her influence in the DPRK and the British government were used..."

Having said this, Hu Zheng pursed his lips that were covered with tears and snot, glanced at the emperor anxiously, took a breath, and said: "Those officials, one after another, will either be executed by your majesty, or Being exiled..."

As these words came out, Hu Zheng saw the emperor's gloomy face, and the muscles at the cheekbones under his eyes suddenly trembled.

Hu Zheng had been treating the emperor's illness for more than ten years and was very familiar with the emperor's subtle movements. When he saw this, he knew that his heart was furious. He was so frightened that he shrank his shoulders, lowered his head suddenly, and did not dare to look again.

Proud as His Majesty, suddenly found that the decisions he made were being manipulated by others, how could he not be angry!
rage!
In his ears, the emperor gritted his teeth and said in a low and hoarse voice, "You continue."

Hu Zheng trembled, and then continued with high spirits: "After that, I used the name of the backer behind Didui Zhai to circulate between the Queen and Didui Zhai. Didicui Zhai did not know the existence of the Queen. , she only paid [-]% of the bonus every month, she kept [-]% and sent the remaining [-]% to the minister's house, but the minister didn't move a penny and immediately sent the money to the queen."

After he finished speaking, Xiao Yu, who had been silent all this time, raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Why do you still do this job if you don't keep any money? Don't you know the risks involved? What are you trying to do?"

Facing Xiao Yu's questioning, Hu Zheng licked his snot-smeared lips, his throat rolled, he swallowed his saliva, and said: "I have a handle and the queen has got it, so I have to do it. This matter is risky, But after all, it is the Empress who points out the envoy. As long as she is in peace, I will be fine. But she holds the key to me, and as long as she tells it, I will die immediately. One will die late, the other will die early, and the two will die. Compared with others, I still want to live a few more years."

Xiao Yu sneered and said, "You know how to plan!" But his face was full of disbelief, "What you said is really hard to believe. The Queen is the mother of the country. Even if she wants to open a shop to make some personal money, how can it be involved? Feng Yuechang, I think it’s clearly you who is talking nonsense!”

Xiao Yu questioned, but the emperor had long been convinced.

In this world, there are two businesses that bring in the most money, one is a romantic place and the other is a gambling house. It can be said that a lot of money is passed through every day.

Queen... what does she want with all this money!

When Hu Zheng saw Xiao Yu's doubts, he immediately defended himself, "What I said is true, and Miss Bai Wei in front of the Queen also knows it. If your Majesty and His Highness don't believe it, you can ask Bai Wei."
