Daughter Shenghua

Chapter 95 The Truth
At this time, Lu You replied: "Go back to the emperor, Mr. Gao Sheng, and the chief guards from the Zhongyonghou's residence have all been brought here, and they are already waiting for orders outside the palace!".

"Xuan!"

After Gao Sheng got the order, he opened the door and entered. Seeing that the emperor and empress dowagers were all here, he felt a little uneasy.

"The minister sees the emperor, sees the queen mother!"

"Cao Min sees the emperor, sees the queen mother!" The head of the guards saw so many big men for the first time, his legs were trembling when he walked.

"Okay, get up! Gao Sheng, what happened to the murderer!" the emperor said.

Seeing that the Empress Dowager Zhongyonghou was here, Gao Sheng knew that he was asking about An Shao, and quickly said, "The murderer has not been found yet!"

As soon as this was said, everyone's face changed.

"Gao Sheng, didn't you say that the murderer had just escaped when you went in? Why didn't you find out now!" Zhang Qiyong scolded angrily.

Gao Sheng was shocked, "Master Hou, I said this, but no one knows who the escaped person is! Naturally, I can only say that I didn't find out."

"Who else is there? I have been guarding in front of the door. Only King Chengjun came out. Who else would there be if it wasn't him!"

After Gao Sheng understood what he meant, the Queen Mother also looked at him coldly, thinking about what Father Lu had said to him on the way, and broke out in a cold sweat. Now I can only bite the bullet.

"Master Hou, when the officer entered, Prince Cheng was tied up by the guards of the mansion for some reason, and he left only after the officer gave him a bag. He should not be the one who ran away." Gao Sheng explained tactfully.

There was a bang in Zhang Qiyong's mind, and he was shaken into a blur. It's over, it turned out that he made a mistake!
"Your Majesty, did you hear me! It was someone from his house who tied me up for no reason, and he even accused me of killing his son! Now the truth is revealed!" King Cheng said loudly.

The Empress Dowager didn't expect things to be like this. Seeing that Hou Zhongyong was so determined to break into Prince Xuan's Mansion, she thought he had some evidence, but she didn't expect to be so stupid, what a waste.Before Zhang Qiyong could explain, he got up and left, and finally didn't look at him again.

At this time, the emperor's eyes were full of smiles, "Okay, no witnesses are needed, you all step back."

Seeing this, Gao Sheng breathed a sigh of relief and left quickly.

"Prince Chengjun, step down too! Don't worry, Brother Huang will give you justice!"

Hearing that the emperor claimed to be the emperor's elder brother, King Chengjun felt happy. The emperor was expressing his attitude, and Zhang Qiyong was going to be in bad luck!

……

"Zhang Qiyong, now let's talk about your siege of Prince Xuan's Mansion? I heard that you even dispatched the city defense battalion? I don't remember that the city defense battalion was handed over to you!"

Zhang Qiyong was sweating profusely, unable to say a word of excuse.

The emperor said lightly again: "Zhang Qiyong, have you forgotten that this world belongs to me, and the city defense camp is also my city defense camp! Your heart is too big, even Lu Gaoyi was bought by you, he He is really loyal to you, even dare to do things like attacking the palace for you! I just don't know if he is afraid of death?"

Seeing that Zhang Qiyong didn't speak, the emperor laughed and said, "Jingbian Hou listens to the decree!"

"Chen is here!"

"Lu Gao intends to rebel, and he will be arrested and brought to justice immediately! There is no need for trial, he will be taken directly to the gate of the city and beheaded for public display. The city defense battalion will be controlled by you for the time being, until you find a suitable candidate!"

"Yes, the minister obeys the order!"

At this time, Zhang Qiyong was full of regrets in his heart. He had caused such a big disaster on impulse, and he didn't know what happened during the day.

After Jingbianhou retreated, the emperor looked at Zhang Qiyong with a sneer and said again: "Marquis Zhongyong, what else do you have to say now!"

Zhang Qiyong quickly knelt down and begged for mercy.

"Marquis Zhongyong, you have done such a thing today, and if you take over the military power again, the people under your command may not accept it, so let the old prince Xuan temporarily receive the military talisman!"

Zhang Qiyong completely fell to the ground, and in a blink of an eye, he lost his greatest support, and his face was instantly ashen.If someone else took the soldier talisman, he would still have a better chance, but Old Prince Xuan...

What is going on with all this? From Chen Wanquan's divorce of his wife, it seems that there is a hand manipulating everything behind the scenes, pushing himself into the abyss step by step.Who was killing him, and who killed An'er?
The emperor saw Wang Zizhen who had a cold face and said nothing, and opened his mouth

Said: "Wang Yushi, do you think it is appropriate for me to deal with it like this?"

Holding Shang Fang's sword, Wang Zizhen frowned slightly. He was afraid that he would be used by someone today, so he felt a little unhappy for a while.

"The emperor can deal with it, the minister has nothing to say!"

The emperor nodded in satisfaction.Several people resigned one after another, leaving Zhang Qiyong sitting on the ground alone.

After several people went out, the emperor chuckled lightly, today is really too happy.

"Zhang Qiyong, do you want to live?"

Zhongyonghou looked at him suspiciously, "What do you think, Your Majesty?"

"Hahaha, I just want to gamble with you, do you dare?"

Zhang Qiyong frowned and didn't understand what this meant.

"I want to give you a way to survive. I want to try to see if the Empress Dowager wants to protect your title of loyal and brave marquis and the military power in your hands, or to protect Xue Qing from prison as soon as possible. Which do you think she will choose?"

After speaking, he laughed again, and immediately wrote a letter asking Lu You to go to Shoukang Palace to hand it over to the Queen Mother.

After finishing all this, the emperor drank tea. It was not difficult to see that he was really in a good mood today, the corners of his mouth were raised all the time, even the center of his brows were stretched, and there was still some anticipation in his heart.

After a while, Lu You came back, "Back to the emperor, the queen mother seemed very happy after reading the emperor's letter, and wrote a reply immediately, the emperor please read it."

The emperor took the reply, his fingers trembling slightly.He read the Queen Mother's reply word by word, and after a moment of silence, he laughed again.

"Lu You, immediately decree that Marquis Zhongyong will take away his official position and abolish his title, and move out of the Marquis Mansion on a certain date. Also, let the Ministry of Punishment release Xue Qing on a certain date!"

Even though Zhang Qiyong had already prepared in his heart, he still fell into an ice cave at this moment.The emperor didn't make things difficult for him anymore, and let him go away in a daze.

He didn't know that after he left, the emperor was just as distraught as he was, and sat alone for a long time.

"Mother, you are willing to trade Zhongyonghou and his military power in exchange for Xue Qing's freedom. Xue Qing is really the most important thing in your heart!"

"Mother, compared with Xue Qing, will you choose him too?"

……

In the princess mansion, Hong Yi walked back and forth a little uneasy.Instead, Yunxi sat there quietly making tea.

"Master, you are a little impulsive today. This matter can be done without looking for Wang Yushi, so why bother to involve him. If he finds out, I'm afraid he will doubt the master."

Yun Xi smiled, and said indifferently: "If he doesn't realize it, he won't be Wang Zizhen!"

"Master, you went here as Su Xinyi. If something happens, you will be in trouble in the future!"

"Okay, Hongyi, we should go to Jiangde Lane, and it's time for Mr. Wang to find me!"

Hong Yi still had a face full of disapproval.

Yunxi sighed, she had to do this.When she received the news from Prince Xuan's Mansion today, she knew that the old prince would not care about it, and she couldn't really let something happen to Prince Xuan's Mansion, so she hurriedly sent a letter to Marquis Jingbian, and then in the name of Marquis Jingbian, sent a letter to Wei Yuanda The general delivered the letter.

After thinking about it again and again, she went to Wang Yushi's house in person. When visiting Mrs. Wang, she intentionally or unintentionally mentioned things outside the Prince Xuan's mansion, and this was the scene where Wang Zizhen appeared holding Shangfang's sword.

Hearing that there was a change in the city defense battalion, they sent people to crowded places to agitate the people, and only then did the conflict outside Prince Xuan's mansion be resolved.

In this short day, Yunxi was physically and mentally exhausted. Although the plan had changed a little, the result was still very satisfactory. There was only one last thing left for today.
