I can't afford to mess with the concubine doctor

Chapter 331 Confession
Hearing the word 'family', Wen's scalp felt numb, and subconsciously took two steps forward, choked up and said: "Your Majesty, all mistakes are the fault of slaves, it is slaves who do not obey women's ways, and give Huaiyang The Hou Mansion has been humiliated, and this servant should apologise, I beg the emperor to spare this servant's family!"

"Whether they can live or not depends on you, not on me." Leng Yuanxun fiddled with the teacup in his hand calmly, but the more he did this, the more nervous Wen was. The line of defense was defeated bit by bit, and since her family is no longer under Li's control, she has no need to be controlled by others, so she gritted her teeth after thinking for a while and said: "Your Majesty, what I have said before is not true. If you die, please ask the emperor to give this servant a chance to redeem her crimes, and this servant is willing to explain everything clearly!"

Wen's words made the little blood on Li's face fade away, but before she could stop her, Wen said, "Your Majesty, the handwriting on that private letter is indeed the third young master's name." Yes, but the supper was delivered from the dining room. After the servant finished the supper, the maid Chunyan secretly brought the letter, and then said that the third young master was afraid of attracting people's attention, so she let the servant pass by alone. Thinking about it now, I feel full of loopholes, if the emperor wants to know what's weird about the supper and the letter, as long as someone carefully examines Chunyan, the truth will definitely come to light."

"Chunyan will explain to her, you just need to explain your own." Leng Yuanxun is a hundred times more thoughtful than Wen's, how could such obvious clues be unexpected, he just said lightly: "Are you finished, you only have this once Chance."

"No, no." Wen shook his head like a rattle, fearing that Leng Yuanxun would drag himself out and beheaded if he became impatient, so he hurriedly added: "There are only a few masters in the Huaiyang Marquis Mansion, the servant thinks, If the letter was not written by the third young master, it must be someone who wanted to use it to frame him. Then the most beneficial and most suspicious person must be the madam. Originally, the servants were just guessing, until the madam came to the firewood room last night, using the slaves The life of the family is threatening the servant to kill the third young master, which makes the servant sure that she is behind the scenes!"

The left and right sides have already torn their faces, so Wen has no scruples, and simply said everything, "The letter is forged, so as not to be seen when verifying the handwriting, it is better to die without proof, but the servants love the third son Before burning the letter, he quietly hid the corner with his name on it."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone's eyes except Leng Yuanxun were shocked, and the one who was most frightened was Mrs. Li. However, when Leng Yuanxun proposed to let her be buried as the Marquis of Huaiyang, she was aware of her position. His life is bound to be lost, so he made up his mind a long time ago to take all the crimes by himself, and never involve Leng Yuanling in it.

However, many things are destined not to go as she wished, and the same is true for this one.

After Wen's voice fell, he carefully took out a small piece of paper from his cuff. In fact, it didn't make any difference whether he took it out or not. Wen's whole body was soaked in water last night, and this small piece of paper naturally didn't matter. Can be spared, the handwriting on it has been blurred beyond recognition.

The handwriting cannot be justified, but Wen's accusation is clear. Leng Yuanxun did not urge him, but only looked at Li with a smile that was not a smile. In order to calm himself down, Li almost bit his lip. Now seeing Leng Yuanxun His eyes fell on him, but there was nowhere to hide, he could barely support his trembling body, knelt down and said: "The emperor has learned from you, my wife has never done such a thing, my wife is wronged!"

After Mrs. Li, Leng Yuanling also knelt down and said earnestly: "Your Majesty, my mother has been married into the Marquis of Huaiyang for more than [-] years. She has been in charge of the internal affairs of the house. It can be said that she has worked hard. How can I slander my mother with Wen's own words?" Guilty, this is too chilling."

In fact, with Leng Yuanling's selfish nature, he is extremely unwilling to stand up and defend Li Shi at this time, because anyone can see that Li Shi absolutely has no chance of getting out of the way today.

However, he had to stand up.

Because right now, the more he avoids, the more suspicious he becomes.

"Everyone knows how to call out grievances. Whether it is really wronged or not depends on the facts." Leng Yuanxun raised his eyes slightly, and the guards outside the door immediately understood, and pressed a woman dressed as a maid into the hall.

I don't know what method the guards used to interrogate. The maid was not injured at all, but she was trembling with fear. Although she lowered her head, Wen could still recognize the other party's identity at a glance.

"Chunyan!" She pounced on the ground with her hands and feet, with too much strength, she knocked the kneeling Chunyan to the ground, "Tell me, tell the emperor, who asked you to give me that letter, and, who is it?" Who taught you to say those words, you say it!"

Ants are still alive, although Wen knows very well that in her current situation, the possibility of saving her life is almost zero, but as long as the word 'execute' has not come from Leng Yuanxun's mouth, she still has a chance of survival If there is an opportunity, it is natural to seize everything possible to exonerate oneself.

After all, to some extent, she is also a victim of ignorance and ignorance, and deserves to be sympathized and forgiven.

Chunyan was scared out of her wits at first, but now that she was shaken and pushed by Wen's like this, she couldn't help shrinking into a ball, but Leng Yuanxun was right in front of her, so she didn't dare not answer, she just prostrated on the ground and said tremblingly: : "Your Majesty, the letter... the letter... was given to the slave by the maid next to the second lady. She told the slave that as long as the matter is completed, she will raise the slave to be the second young master's housemaid. The slave agreed in a moment of confusion. Your Majesty, forgive me!" After she finished speaking, she kept kowtowing.

In a wealthy family, it is rare for any pretty maid to have the idea of ​​flying on a branch and turning into a phoenix, not to mention Wen's such a ready-made successful example, Chunyan is naturally less likely to be moved by this idea. Now that Marquis Huaiyang is ill and can live How many days are still unknown, naturally he would not have the intention of taking concubines, but Leng Yuanling is different, he is the son of the family, if Leng Yuanquan is overthrown, he will naturally be the successor of Huaiyang Hou, when the time comes ...

This kind of condition is more attractive than any amount of real money, not to mention Chunyan, even if it is changed to any other little maid, I am afraid it will be difficult to resist.

More importantly, no evidence will be left behind.

"Nonsense!" Li yelled angrily, with obvious disdain in her angry tone, "What kind of humble status are you, and you want to become the second young master's woman!"

Chunyan is not a fool, she knows very well that the person who holds the power of life and death now is Leng Yuanxun, not Li Shi, so she didn't even look at Li Shi, just kowtowed again, choked up, "Reporting to the emperor, this servant knows She has a humble status, and although she has always admired the second young master, she has never dared to show the slightest bit. However, Madam Chen told the servant that a hero, regardless of his background, as long as the servant can do this well, he will be a great hero, let alone become a housemaid. , it is possible to be promoted as an aunt!"

"You lowly servant girl is whimsical and crazy!" Leng Yuanling kicked Chunyan heavily, probably feeling that his feet were dirty, and brushed the corner of his robe on purpose, before angrily said: "Your Majesty, even if you want to No matter what kind of servant girl you accept, you have to nod yourself, how can it be Chen Mama's turn to be a servant, it can be seen that this lowly servant girl is completely nonsense, and must not be trusted!"

Having said that, Leng Yuanling must be glad that people from the Li family were involved in this matter from the beginning to the end, and had no direct relationship with him, otherwise no matter how much he said, he would not be able to completely extract it from this matter. come out.

"I don't believe the evidence, what should I believe?" Leng Yuanxun raised his eyebrows slightly, and said lightly, "How is the trial going?"

"Report back to the emperor, and explain everything clearly."

The Palace Punishment Department may not be able to do other things, but it is the best at interrogating prisoners. In order to be clean and tidy, Leng Yuanxun specially brought two stewards here, which played a key role at the moment.

"With so many witnesses, I will not be the one who came here to slander you." Leng Yuanxun put the teacup on the table heavily, and said in a icy tone, "Mr. Li, I have always known that you are ambitious, but I never expected that you would plan such a shameless thing in spite of the weakness of Marquis Huaiyang, you deserve death!"

Leng Yuanxun has always cherished words like gold, and now he said so many words at once, which is really an exception, which shows how angry he is.

"Your majesty, my wife..."

"Why, do you still want to continue to say that you are wronged?" Leng Yuanxun looked at Li Shi, as if he was looking at a dead person, "How about it, but if I send you to the Punishment Department for a few days, you will not be able to do so." Are you willing to tell the truth?"

What the three words "Department of Punishment" stand for, Mrs. Li knows very well, even if an innocent person walks in there, a layer of skin will be shed alive, not to mention that she is not clean in the first place.

She made it clear that she was the one who was going to die. If she continued to struggle and angered Leng Yuanxun, Leng Yuanling would definitely be implicated. In this case, she might as well use her own life to change her son's future.

Thinking of this, Li Shi decided to make up her mind. She bit her lip hard, looked up to the sky and laughed a few times, "Yes, what they said is right, I did it, I did it all!"

At this point, Mrs. Li didn't have to worry about anything anymore. She struggled to stand up from the ground and shouted loudly: "But why did I do this? It's not all because of him! You were in front of me before, and mine Ling'er can only be suppressed in vain, and finally you entered the palace and became the emperor. It's Ling'er's turn to be the son of the prince, but he has been unwilling to make Ling'er the son of the prince. Quan is by his side, he is doing this to put our mother and child where, I hate! How can I not hate!"

In the end, Li Shi's meticulously painted face has been distorted to the point of deformation, which shows how deep the hatred in his heart is.
