The slave family is not a disaster

Chapter 439 Phoenix Lost
"Yes." After all, this matter is not trivial, the emperor ordered people to call the empress, the only important family member of the victim in this case, that is Ye Anran.

After a while, two women walked in slowly...

"The concubine sees the emperor." Ye Anran and Shen Bilan said in unison.

This was Shen Bilan's first time going out since she was banned, but she didn't expect to go to court. Intuitively, she knew that something big must have happened, otherwise she would not have been called here by the emperor.

"Flat body."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Lan'er... Zhang Sheng, the servant of the criminal department, accused you of plotting behind the scenes, threatening him to frame Ye Anyao, right?" The emperor looked at the queen and asked sharply.

"What? The concubine... The concubine is wronged, Mr. Zhang, I have no grievances or enmities with you, you can't frame me like this." Upon hearing Zhang Sheng say such words, Shen Bilan immediately denied it, but At the same time, she is guilty.

Once, she did threaten Zhang Sheng, arrested his family members to threaten him, and wanted to get rid of him afterwards, but she later saw that Zhang Sheng's official fortune was good, and it seemed that he had been rising steadily, so in order to cultivate herself in the court She didn't do anything because of the influence of Zhang Sheng. She thought that this Zhang Sheng was in the same boat as her, so she would not leak the news, but she didn't want to. Bilan was very surprised.

"Very well, I don't believe it's you either, but... Zhang Sheng has evidence for him, Lan'er, before his so-called evidence is presented, I'll ask you again, does this matter have anything to do with you?" The emperor seemed to be giving Shen Bilan a chance.

"No, Your Majesty, there are no concubines, I'm really wronged." Shen Bilan said tearfully, and immediately disguised herself as a little sheep.

"Wait a minute, Your Majesty, what are you... talking about? Is this... related to my sister?" Ye Anran interjected from the side.

"Miss Concubine Ran, I'm sorry for you, and I'm even more sorry for Mistress Zhaoyi. At the beginning...if the empress hadn't arrested Weichen's family and threatened him, Weichen would not have done such a utterly unconscionable thing." Zhang Sheng said painfully.

"What? Empress, you...it's you? Why did you frame my sister, why?" Ye Anran was obviously very emotional.

"I don't have it. Don't listen to this dog official's nonsense. He must have been bribed to wrong me. I didn't instruct him. What he said is all false. Your majesty, you must not believe his words." , the concubine is innocent." Seeing that the situation was not good for her, Shen Bilan desperately explained to herself.

"Your Majesty, as the lord of the harem, the empress is only an example of women in the world. She should not do such a thing. Please don't listen to other people's rumors casually." Xi Gongjue appropriately came forward to rescue Shen Bilan, even I dare not look at Ye Anran.

"Why is Lord Rui'an so anxious to explain to the Empress? Could it be that...you are also involved in this matter?" Ye Anran turned around and asked angrily.

"Concubine Ran, you are joking. How can I, a prince, have the right to intervene in the affairs of the harem." Xi Gongjue forced a smile.

"Very well, since the prince knows that he is a prince and should not meddle in the emperor's family affairs or the trivial affairs of the harem, then please shut up. If the empress is innocent, I believe the emperor will give her justice, no? Is it?" Seeing Jue Xigong explaining to Shen Bilan, Ye Anran almost went crazy.

It's this time, this couple of dogs are still working together and putting on airs, she is really going to die of anger...

"What An Ran said is correct, if the queen is wronged, then... I will definitely return her innocence." The emperor also followed Ye Anran's words.

"Yes, my brother is talking too much." Seeing that the emperor wanted to protect Ye Anran, Xi Gongju stopped talking.

Afterwards, the emperor looked at Zhang Sheng: "Zhang Sheng, you keep saying that you have evidence, so why don't you show it now?"

"Okay, Weichen will take it out now." After Zhang Sheng finished speaking, he got up and began to dig into his pockets.

Everyone's hearts seemed to be tense, waiting for this moment...

Shen Bilan just smiled disdainfully, as if she knew very well that Zhang Sheng had no so-called evidence at all.

But she underestimated Ye Anran too much, Zhang Sheng might not have that much power, but adding Ye Anran would be hard to say.

"Please look, Your Majesty." Zhang Sheng took out a handkerchief from his pocket, raised it above his head, and said loudly.

"What is this?" The emperor was a little puzzled.

"This is... the silk handkerchief of the empress. The handkerchief that the empress left behind when she asked the minister to instruct the minister to frame Ye Zhaoyi that day. This minister kept it all the time. She was worried that if the empress killed someone to silence her, she could keep it. The next clue." Zhang Sheng said word by word.

"Bring it up."

"Yes." After hearing the order, Eunuch Zhu stepped forward to take the things.

Shen Bilan was a little dumbfounded. Looking back on her handkerchief, she had indeed lost it. It seemed that she had lost it for a long time, but she herself did not remember when she lost it. She just vaguely remembered that it must not have been left with Zhang Sheng.

The emperor took the handkerchief, took a closer look, his face immediately turned ashen, and then slowly said: "The pattern of the phoenix, the color of bright yellow, and the seal of the empress dowager on it, empress, this handkerchief is not when you made the empress dowager, the empress dowager Is it for you? Why is it in Zhang Sheng's hands?"

Shen Bilan was dumbfounded immediately, and knelt down on the ground with a plop: "Your majesty, I have been wronged. This handkerchief has been lost for a long time. It must have been stolen by Mr. Zhang to frame me. Your majesty, please don't listen to me." The villain's slander."

"Sister Empress, what you said is really funny. Master Zhang is an important minister of the court. How could he enter Jiuhua Palace casually, and even stole your handkerchief? Now that the matter has come to an end, why don't you recruit me? I just want to know , Where on earth did my sister offend you and let you do such a murderous thing, do you know how terribly she and her child died?" Ye Anran approached Shen Bilan step by step, and asked with bloodshot eyes.

"You...don't come here, I didn't, it wasn't me, I didn't do it." Seeing Ye Anran looking like he was going to eat people, Shen Bilan was so frightened that her butt pissed and she backed away frequently.

"Anran, calm down first." Seeing that Ye Anran was about to go crazy, the emperor immediately got up and walked down, hugging Ye Anran from behind.

"Your majesty, the concubine said that my sister was wronged, she was really wronged, she is not the kind of shameless woman, she will not have anything to do with Fang Hezhou, it turns out that the queen, a vicious woman, is doing the tricks. I beg the emperor to seek justice for my sister." Ye Anran knelt straight in front of the emperor.

Seeing this, Jue Nishimiya seemed to understand a little bit, today is a complete situation, designed by Ye Anran, a situation of revenge, if he guessed correctly, Zhang Sheng is probably Ye Anran's person.

"Jue, help me." Shen Bilan took the opportunity to whisper.

Jue Xigong frowned, and just about to speak, he heard an old court official say: "Your Majesty, it is said that the emperor violated the law and the common people are guilty of the same crime. Since the evidence is convincing, you should give Ye Zhaoyi an explanation."

"Yes, Your Majesty, the child in Ye Zhaoyi's womb is really pitiful. I don't know if it is a princess or a prince. Hey... Empress Empress, you don't have a child yourself, so you can't act so viciously to frame others. By the way, I won't Lian Ning You also killed the concubine's child, right?" the old official reminded.

At this time, Prime Minister Ning looked angry, and said: "I beg the emperor to lock up the empress first, and check carefully, how many concubines are there in this harem? No one can give birth to an heir, so is it really a curse? Or... a man-made evil result."

After everyone said this, Prime Minister Ning immediately thought of his own niece, Concubine Ning, so he felt angry...

Talking about Concubine Ning, Ye Anran took the opportunity to say: "Prime Minister, speaking of this incident, I also feel strange. When Concubine Ning's sister had an accident, I had seen her before. She was normal and did not ask for help. Thinking about it, maybe there is something strange about this matter, speaking of Concubine Ning, she is also pitiful, if she hadn't been accidentally knocked down by the black cat, it would not have caused the death of the little prince."

"Hmph, is it really a black cat? You may not know if the black cat is controlled by someone. Although the black cat belongs to the queen mother, the queen mother will definitely not frame her descendants. The queen who usually goes to Tianxuan Palace the most is the empress. She did most of the things." When Prime Minister Ning mentioned the tragic death of his niece, he immediately lost his composure, pointing at Shen Bilan and said aggressively.

"No, it's not Ben Gong, I don't have one, you... all unite, you just want to kill Ben Gong." Shen Bilan covered her head and screamed.

She didn't expect that in the court today, she would be criticized by thousands of people, and suddenly lose her usual calmness...

Jue Nishinomiya didn't say a word, because he understood that Ye Anran's plan was too ingenious, and his purpose was to bring down the queen.

"The matter is so important, please the emperor make a decision as soon as possible." Xi Gongmo also added insult to injury appropriately.

"Murder pays for life, please the emperor give my sister justice." Ye Anran said firmly.

"Yes, please also investigate the matter carefully, and give justice to my dead niece." Prime Minister Ning said resolutely.

"Your Majesty, please help me to find out. Is the matter of the daughter of the humble minister also related to the Empress?" , was framed and thrown into the cold palace.

"Okay, don't talk about it, I have my own plan for this matter." The emperor seemed upset when he heard it.

"The emperor doesn't want it. The concubine was wronged. They deliberately harmed me. It was Ye Anran. It must be her. She wanted to kill me and become queen herself." Shen Bilan suddenly pointed at Ye Anran and said.

"Do you think you can confuse your eyes by changing your target at this moment? Let me tell you, the evidence is solid and you can't escape. You must give my sister justice today, otherwise my sister will die with regret." Ye Anran said indignantly with tears in her eyes .

"Your Majesty, I think this matter is full of doubts. The empress must not be executed lightly." Seeing that Shen Bilan's life was in danger, Xi Gongjue immediately spoke out to defend her and fight for her last hope.
