Chapter 289 Confession
When Tong Ange said this, Qiao Shuwang's face changed suddenly. If he just guessed that the emperor suddenly sent someone to check whether the imprint on the third prince's body was related to the Zhen family's affairs, then now, from Tong Ange Saying this name out of his mouth undoubtedly hung a sharp knife straight on Qiao Shuwang's neck. The moment Qiao Shuwang heard this name, Qiao Shuwang felt a little lack of oxygen.

Hearing Tong Ange's words, the emperor said to the servant who had just gone to check the marks of the third prince: "Go and check to see if they are consistent."

Obtaining the emperor's order, the servant walked up to Tong Ange, his face changed slightly when he saw the jade pendant, and then he respectfully said to the emperor: "Return to the emperor, this jade pendant is exactly the same as the pattern on the third highness's body."

"No..." Concubine Qiao Shu felt that her eyes were a little dark, she felt the coldness from the emperor, and her heart seemed to be frozen.

Princess Jinyang saw this and said: "Concubine Qiao Shu and the late empress concubine got pregnant a few days ago, in order to snatch Mr. to be the eldest son of the emperor, she used the method of induced labor, which hurt the root of her body, and she will not be able to conceive again in the future. For this reason, Concubine Shu came up with the method of using her cousin as a surrogate, and after Zhen Mi gave birth to a son, she would kill the mother and seize the son, Concubine Shu is really a good plan." She said, her voice full of sarcasm .

At this moment, Concubine Qiao Shu couldn't utter a word, she sat on the ground with a pale face, as if her backbone had been taken out of her body.

Qiao Shuwang, who was kneeling on the ground, also changed his expression greatly, but, after all, he was the prime minister of one dynasty, and if he admitted so easily that he had been prime minister for so many years, it would be in vain.

Thinking of this, Qiao Shuwang immediately said: "Your Majesty, the Qiao family has been wronged, how could Concubine Shu do such a thing, the Qiao family is loyal to the emperor, and absolutely dare not do anything bold. !"

"Really? In the eyes of Prime Minister Qiao, more than 300 lives are nothing more than an order, and a fire is not surprising at all. So, this is not considered audacious, is it?" Tong Ange's mocking voice came Come on, look at Qiao Shuwang, who is kneeling on the ground with a half-smile but not a smile.

Hearing Tong Ange's voice, Qiao Shuwang narrowed his eyes and looked at her, his eyes were full of coldness: "In order to cover up his crimes, Princess Ange actually knew such a lie. Has the emperor pardoned your sins?"

"Whether the emperor can pardon my crimes is my business, and the prime minister will not worry about it. Whether I am guilty or not is up to the emperor to decide. You don't need to make rash judgments by the prime minister. As for whether this matter is true or not, it is up to me to make it up, Your Majesty, There is someone who can prove whether this matter is true or not." Tong Ange said, turning to look at the emperor, and said respectfully.

Hearing this, the emperor narrowed his eyes: "Who?"

"This person is outside the palace now. As long as the emperor summons him, he will know the truth of this matter." Tong Ange said.

"pass."

The servant got the order and walked outside quickly.

Seeing this, Qiao Shuwang snorted coldly, and said indignantly, "The truth you said, the witnesses you said, are just some accomplices you found to collude. What kind of truth is this kind of truth?"

Tong Ange pursed her lips, and looked at Qiao Shuwang with a half-smile: "The Prime Minister is surprised by this, this person is not my accomplice, if we talk about it, she was the accomplice of the murderer back then."

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone saw the servant bringing in Nanny Ying from the outside. Now, Qiao Shuwang's expression changed a little, and Concubine Qiao Shu's expression became even more desperate.

"The old slave kowtowed to the emperor and greeted the emperor."

Yingmao is the person next to Concubine Qiao Shu, so the emperor naturally recognizes it. When he saw Yingmao, he narrowed his eyes: "Yingmao?"

"Your Majesty, how did Concubine Concubine Shu steal the day and find her cousin to be a surrogate? Nanny Ying took over the whole matter. She played a vital role in it. In this case, Nanny Ying's words are the most credible." Tong Ange Said.

With a sullen face, the emperor looked at Yingmao who was kneeling on the ground: "Yingmao, tell me, did this happen back then?"

Nanny Ying's body trembled, she raised her eyes to look at Concubine Qiao Shu, with tears streaming down her cheeks, she nodded her head after a long time, her voice choked with sobs: "Go back to the emperor, yes, yes..."

"Yingmao, you cunning slave, why did you join forces with outsiders to frame Concubine Shu?" As soon as Yingying said, Qiao Shuwang immediately scolded.

Princess Jinyang snorted coldly when she heard the words: "Prime Minister Qiao, this is the emperor's heart-nourishing hall, not the back garden of your Qiao family. Could it be that Prime Minister Qiao's hands are going to be stretched into the palace, wanting to make decisions for the emperor?" No?"

With a stern voice, Qiao Shuwang's expression changed instantly.

But at this moment, the emperor's face became even more severe. He stared gloomyly at Nanny Ying who was kneeling on the ground, and said sharply: "Say, tell me everything that happened back then."

With her voice choked with sobs, Mammy Ying told intermittently how Concubine Qiao Shu found her cousin as a surrogate and how she killed the mother and snatched the child in detail. After she finished speaking, the look on the emperor's face was almost extremely cold.

"Concubine Qiao Shu, Prime Minister Qiao, you guys are really good at it!" The emperor's voice was full of coldness.

Concubine Qiao Shu couldn't listen to any words at this moment, she knew that it was all over, when she saw the hatred towards her in Lian Yu's eyes, her heart was crushed to pieces.

But Qiao Shuwang couldn't just plead guilty so easily, and the Qiao family didn't allow him to just plead guilty like this.

"Your Majesty, the old minister has been wronged, and the empress is also wronged. These are all disasters for the Qiao family!"

"I don't think it's the Zhen family that caused the disaster?" A cold voice came, and Su Yu, who had been standing by the side, said coldly, and looked at Qiao Shuwang, who was crying for grievances on the ground, with a sarcasm: "There are more than 300 people in the Zhen family. A human life died overnight, and Prime Minister Qiao abused his personal power to turn this case into an epidemic. Your Excellency, how wronged are those dead souls of the Zhen family?"

The emperor frowned when he heard the words, and was about to ask, Tong Ange's voice sounded at this moment: "Your Majesty, when Concubine Shu secretly tied Zhen Mi into the palace, Prime Minister Qiao was worried that this matter would be leaked, so he asked someone to bring Zhen Mi to the palace. The whole family of the Zhen family was wiped out, and the purpose was to hide this secret, so that no one would know that the third prince was not born to Concubine Shu. The purpose of Prime Minister Qiao's doing this was too obvious, because the Qiao family needed a prince to fight for power. To seize power, you need a prince to win the emperor's favor and keep the status of the Qiao family."

After listening to Tong Ange's words, the emperor's face became even colder, and he looked sharply at Qiao Shuwang who was kneeling on the ground: "Qiao Shuwang, what else can you say?"

"Your Majesty, the old minister was wronged, the old minister was really wronged..."

Before he could finish his grievances, a guard came in from the outside, saluted the emperor, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the old butler of the Qiao family has confessed."

Hearing this, Qiao Shuwang's face suddenly turned pale.

"Present the confession!" The emperor said coldly.

The guards quickly presented Butler Qiao's confession. Looking at the confession, the emperor's face became more and more serious. Finally, he couldn't bear it any longer. He grabbed the teacup on the dragon table and slammed it at Qiao Shuwang: "Qiao Shuwang , why are you wronged?"

Qiao Shuwang's heart was icy at the moment, being hit so hard by the emperor, soon, bright red blood gushed out from his head.

Looking at Qiao Shuwang at this moment, Tong Ange squinted his eyes, and snorted mockingly in his heart, this is really Skynet's meticulous carelessness.

Su Yu took a step forward at this moment, and respectfully said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, regarding the tragedy of the Zhen family, all the ministers have collected all the files, and the physical evidence should be thoroughly investigated, and they can be presented to the Emperor for review at any time. "

"Okay, okay!" The emperor said angrily, and looked at Su Yu: "I will leave this matter to you for trial, and you must investigate it clearly for me, without any partiality."

"Yes, please rest assured, Your Majesty!" Su Yu replied.

"Come here, drag Qiao's father and daughter down and imprison him, and this Wang Ning will also be imprisoned!" The emperor said in a deep voice.

"Yes."

After the emperor's words fell, the faces of the father and daughter of the Qiao family were ashamed.

When the guards took Concubine Qiao Shu and Qiao Shuwang into custody, the emperor looked at Tong Ange with his eyes narrowed. The expression on his face seemed a bit complicated, and he couldn't see what he was thinking at the moment.

Princess Jinyang kept looking at the expression on the emperor's face, her eyes flickered, and she said: "Brother emperor, the matter has come to light now, and An Ge will definitely not cooperate with the enemy and treason..."

"Jinyang." Before Princess Jinyang finished speaking, the emperor interrupted her: "You go down first, I will make my own decision on this matter."

"Brother Emperor!" The eldest princess of Jinyang opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but she heard the emperor also say to Su Yu who was beside her: "Su Yu, I have entrusted you with the responsibility of the Qiao family's affairs, so go down too, as soon as possible." Find out about this case." As he spoke, the emperor's voice was full of exhaustion.

Su Yu narrowed her eyes when she heard the words, and was about to open her mouth, but she saw Tong Ange secretly shaking her head at him. Seeing this, Su Yu frowned, and said respectfully, "I obey the order."

Seeing Su Yu leave the hall, Princess Jinyang looked at the emperor's face, and could only say goodbye and leave the hall.

At this moment, only the emperor and Tong Ange are left in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Tong Ange also understands that it is not so easy for the emperor to pardon her crimes, not to mention finding out about the Zhen family and the secrets of the third prince, if the emperor can easily let her go What a surprise.

Tong Ange stood straight, looked at the emperor who was tall but could not hide his old age, and thought to himself, no matter who it is, no one can escape the natural law of birth, old age, sickness and death. Because the emperor really believed in this matter, but Su Yu's secret deployment all along, let the emperor see the deterrent power of the Qiao family in the court these years, no emperor would allow his subjects to have such behavior Deterrence, especially the Qiao family has an adult prince who has the strength to inherit the throne.
