Mad concubine returns, prince get away

Chapter 226 The First Trial
In the early morning of the next day, Emperor Ming ordered the summoning of high-ranking and powerful ministers in the court. At the same time, Fu Jinchen and Fu Jinyue, who were imprisoned, were also summoned. Accompanied by the always silent Fifth Prince Fu Jinyu.

Yin Qingge was wearing an ice blue dress with a few scattered white flowers embroidered on the skirt, and walked towards the hall calmly and calmly.

Fu Jinchen's eyes kept falling on Yin Qingge's body. There was a trace of tenderness and pampering in his eyes, and there was also a slight smile on his always cold and indifferent face, which softened his whole demeanor a lot.

On the other side, Fu Jinyue looked at Yin Qingge with dark eyes, thinking about the fire that day when Yin Qingge disappeared, and then thinking about the rumors that Yin Qingge helped Yin Mo repel the Northern Xinjiang now, and the evidence that she now has against her. There was an indescribable soreness in Fu Jinyue's heart, and the palms hanging on both sides were clenched unconsciously.

Fu Jinyu looked at Yin Qingge lightly, thinking about everything that Fu Jinchen had changed because of Yin Qingge, Fu Jinyu's eyes couldn't help showing a hint of softness, and the smile on his lips became more gentle.

Yin Qingge raised his eyes and looked at Fu Jinchen, a faint smile slowly appeared on his lips, then he knelt down respectfully towards Emperor Ming, and said lightly, "Qingge sees the emperor."

"Get up, do you know why I called you in today? But are you ready?" Emperor Ming raised his hand to signal Yin Qingge to stand up, and asked in a deep voice.

Yin Qingge nodded lightly, stood up calmly, and said in a deep voice, "Return to the emperor, Qingge is clear, everything is ready."

"Before Northern Xinjiang was defeated and came to Beijing to seek peace, but suddenly changed its attitude a few days later, and wanted to force us to go to war with Xiyue. At that time, Qingge was a little confused. The troops in Northern Xinjiang were not enough in food and wages. Where did they come from?" Confidence against my vast land and resources in West Vietnam."

Yin Qingge originally looked at Emperor Ming in the palace calmly, but when he said this, he suddenly smiled, tilted his head and looked at Fu Jinyue lightly, and said lightly: "If Beijiang had the intention of going to war from the beginning, it would not Surrendered and came to Beijing, so during the time when the Prince of Northern Xinjiang was in Beijing, someone must have made him some kind of promise, which made him want to go to war."

"What is the meaning of County Lord Jingle? Are you saying that someone is collaborating with the enemy and treason?" Lord Hu on the side couldn't help but frowned, stepped forward, looked at Yin Qingge with a bad expression, and asked in a deep voice: "I The Minister of the West is all loyal to the emperor, how could he do such a shameless thing!"

"Master Hu, why should you be so excited? This collusion with the enemy and treason has happened in all dynasties, and the reason for it is nothing more than other people's wolfish ambitions." Yin Qingge smiled lightly, not seeing Lord Hu's anger in the slightest, and said lightly: " And Mr. Hu has been an official for many years, so he must know that the most unpredictable thing in this world is the human heart."

"Mr. Jingle's words are justified. As the saying goes, you know people, face, but don't know your heart. Some people are very loyal to the emperor on the surface, but in fact, the master in their hearts has long been replaced by someone else. Master Hu, what do you think?" Wan Wan on the side The lord strode forward, looked at Master Hu with a slight gaze, and said in a deep voice.

"Lord Wan, this matter is of great importance, don't talk nonsense!" Master Hu's expression changed, he subconsciously glanced at Fu Jinyue, and said in a deep voice.

"Master Hu, I just said something casually. Why are you so excited? Could it be that Mr. Hu has a ghost in his heart?" Said loudly.

"Master Wan, you!" Master Hu's complexion darkened, and just as he was about to speak, Emperor Ming frowned impatiently, interrupted Master Hu's words in a deep voice, and shouted: "Shut up, everyone!"

"Your Majesty, forgive me!" Lord Wan and Lord Hu lowered their heads and said with cupped hands.

Emperor Ming glanced over the two of them impatiently, seeing that they were silent, he turned his attention to Yin Qingge in the hall again, and said in a deep voice, "Go on."

"Yes." Yin Qingge nodded, and continued: "After Qingge arrived at the frontier, he found that the rations and salaries of the western army were all deducted, and there were not a few of them. What is even more strange is that these rations and salaries are I saw it in the mansion of the Prince of Northern Xinjiang, the grain is the northern rice bought by the court, and the silver is also the full amount of five taels of official silver."

As soon as these words came out, the hall fell into a sudden silence. Emperor Ming's face was extremely ugly, and he glanced coldly at Fu Jinyue who was on the side.

Fu Jinyue's body was so stiff that he never thought that Yin Qingge would find out about this incident. He immediately lowered his eyelids slightly to hide the flash of panic in his eyes, for fear of being noticed.

Fu Jinchen looked at Yin Qingge indifferently. He knew that Yin Qingge would be able to solve this matter perfectly by himself. It was enough for him to watch his beloved woman shine.

"Go ahead! Who sent these rations?" Emperor Ming clasped his palms and tapped on the desk, looked at Yin Qingge with serious eyes, and asked in a deep voice.

Yin Qingge nodded slightly, looked at Emperor Ming impartially, and said in a deep voice: "When Qingge found out about this, he was very surprised, so he and his brother investigated together, and finally caught a young man who was in charge of delivering food and grass. Officer, the official said that when the food and salary were being exchanged that night, he accidentally saw that it was Liang Zhihe, the general in the army."

"Liang Zhihe? Where's the person? Bring it to me!" Emperor Ming ordered immediately with a livid face.

Soon, Liang Zhihe was brought in by the guards. As soon as Liang Zhihe saw the emperor, he immediately knelt down heavily, and cried out in mourning: "Your Majesty! This official was wronged. I didn't do anything." Pass!"

Emperor Ming stared at Liang Zhihe coldly, and said coldly: "Bold Liang Zhihe, you still dare to quibble now, who asked you to exchange food and salary, and you don't do it!"

"I really haven't done it before, my majesty's lesson!" Liang Zhihe trembled slightly, his head was bent on the pole, but he subconsciously glanced at Fu Jinyue, and hurriedly denied it.

Emperor Ming's face was livid, and he was about to speak, but Yin Qingge stepped forward with a smile, interrupted Emperor Ming softly, and said flatly: "Your Majesty, it doesn't matter if General Liang doesn't want to admit it, after all, he is not the only witness. Since General Liang is unwilling If you want this opportunity to redeem yourself, then let it be."

"There is another person in the barracks, named Ling Kai, who is a powerful general beside the Ninth Prince, but on the day of the battle, Ling Kai stabbed the Ninth Prince. The reason is that someone captured the most important person in Ling Kai's heart. Force him to submit." Yin Qingge glanced at Fu Jinyue, who was tense, and said in a deep voice, "First, this person secretly exchanged food and salaries to subsidize the northern border, and then threatened the generals and murdered the Ninth Prince. His wolf ambition is evident. "

"Tell me, who did this thing?" Emperor Ming naturally understood the meaning of Yin Qingge's words, glanced at Fu Jinyue slightly coldly, and asked in a deep voice.

Yin Qingge shook his head lightly, and said flatly: "This person has a special status, Qingge dare not mention it, why not ask the emperor himself."

"Eunuch Zhou, please pass on General Ling and Miss Zhang Xin into the palace." Yin Qingge looked at Eunuch Zhou with a smile and said in a gentle voice.

Eunuch Zhou was startled when he heard the words, he turned his head to look at Emperor Ming and nodded, then nodded in response, and walked towards the outside slowly.

After Fu Jinyue and Liang Zhihe heard Ling Kai's name, a hint of panic flashed in their eyes. Fu Jinyue clenched his fists, forced himself to calm down, looked ahead with heavy eyes, and waited for the next thing .

After a while, Ling Kai walked in with Zhang Xin. Ling Kai knelt down towards Emperor Ming with a respectful expression, and said in a deep voice: "The sinful minister Ling Kai, I kowtow to the emperor."

"Ling Kai, you stabbed the Ninth Prince and caused the defeat of Xiyue, are you guilty?" Emperor Ming looked at Ling Kai who was kneeling there, then looked at Zhang Xin who was kneeling beside him, and asked in a deep voice road.

"The criminal is guilty, but he begs the emperor to punish him. It is just that the criminal is begging the emperor. Seeing that the criminal has reformed himself, don't implicate the innocent." Ling Kai raised his hand to hold Zhang Xin's hand, and raised his eyes firmly. Looking at Emperor Ming, he said in a deep voice.

Emperor Ming was startled when he heard the words, looked at Ling Kai looking at Zhang Xin, couldn't help but understand in his heart, and said lightly: "Of course, I won't kill innocent people indiscriminately."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Ling Kai kowtowed respectfully to Emperor Ming again, and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, the reason why the criminal minister assassinated the Ninth Prince was because the Seventh Prince arrested the criminal minister's beloved and threatened the criminal minister. The guilty minister had no choice but to do something wrong."

As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of commotion in the hall, Master Hu's face turned pale, and he staggered and almost fell to the ground.

Fu Jinchen cast a cold glance at Ling Kai. There was nothing else in his eyes except coldness. As for other people's actions, he didn't notice them at all.

"Father!" Fu Jinyue was startled, and immediately strode forward, knelt down with a plop, and said in a deep voice: "Father, my son has been staying in Beijing, and he had no contact with the Northern Xinjiang prince before. How could you do such a thing, I hope the emperor will learn from you!"

Emperor Ming snorted coldly when he heard the words, looked at Fu Jinyue with coldness and suspicion in his eyes, and said angrily: "You know whether you have done it or not!"

"Father, this Ling Kai is a close confidant of the Ninth Prince, how could he obey the orders of my ministers, maybe this Ling Kai said these words were ordered by the Lord Jingle and the Ninth Prince." Fu Jinyue looked up with a slightly cold expression. Glancing at Yin Qingge, with complex emotions in his eyes, he said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, what the Seventh Prince said is that this Ling Kai has a very close relationship with the Ninth Prince, so you can't believe what you said!" Hearing the words, Master Hu hurriedly stepped forward and said anxiously.

Emperor Ming glanced at Master Hu slightly, and then glanced over the ministers in the hall, seeing that all the ministers agreed with Fu Jinyue's words, he couldn't help but said in a deep voice: "Jing Le, what else do you want to say? "
