Secret agent crossing: Overbearing prince's favorite concubine

Chapter 152 Pearl's Testimony

Mo Qingli's face turned ugly, and she walked to the door and shouted: "Why are you yelling, you are free to act wildly today, I am not afraid of breaking your legs."

The little eunuch quickly covered his mouth, walked up to Mo Qingli and whispered in Mo Qingli's ear.

Mo Qingli's eyes were fixed, and she was a little flustered. Jun Shecang actually started arguing with Luo Zishang in the previous court. Is he crazy?The whole court is already waiting for the new emperor to succeed to the throne. It is very likely that he will be accused of disrespect by Luo Zishang afterwards. Is it just for the momentary pleasure in Tu's heart?

"What's going on?" Shangguan Yun appeared behind her at some point and asked the little eunuch directly.

The little eunuch knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "My lord, forgive me. In the previous dynasty, His Royal Highness Chong Wang had a dispute with Lord Luozi, Shangluo. In the previous dynasty, the new emperor has not yet ascended the throne."

Shangguan Yun frowned, "Why are you arguing?"

The little eunuch said: "The slave doesn't know, and the slave came to report when he saw that he was in a hurry."

Shangguan Yun immediately said: "Go and find out the situation."

The little eunuch hurried over again.

In a blink of an eye, Mo Qingli found that Shangguan Yun was looking at her with weird eyes. She was slightly taken aback, and Shangguan Yun quickly looked away and said, "Hongye, help me and go to the inner room to sit first. This palace is a bit tired."

Mo Qingli nodded and followed her advice.

In front of the court, seeing Jun Shecang suppressing Luo Zishang with his words, King Yun stood up and said: "The prince must not be reckless, what Master Luo said is the most basic, the most important thing for all people is to have enough food and drink. Only on the basis of eating and drinking enough can we pay attention to etiquette and understand morality. Today is the day when the new emperor ascends the throne. As the emperor's uncle and the younger brother of the former emperor, he should inherit the legacy of the former emperor and follow the example of Duke Zhou to assist the new emperor. How can it be possible? Are you making a lot of noise at this time?"

King Yun himself also has military power, and he is more cautious. He never actively offends people when he speaks, but he is also very cunning. After hearing this, the officials only think that King Yun is amiable, loyal, and more worthy of friendship.

"The king of the county is right. It's just that my Jun Shecang has an important matter today, which concerns the former emperor and the ministers. In order to ensure the fairness of this matter, it must be elected before the new emperor ascends the throne." Jun Shecang said.

"Oh, then why is the prince stuck at this juncture? If it's just about the late emperor's mausoleum, then Liu will definitely take a copy of the prince's book and ask the emperor to punish the prince for his disrespect." Zhichen Liu Xueshi stood up Said.

Jun Shecang looked sad, "This king wants to seek justice for the late emperor."

The first emperor, seek justice for the first emperor?This reason is really shocking, Shangguan Qi couldn't help asking: "What justice does the prince want, please explain in detail."

Jun Shecang said: "The ministers all suddenly got the news of the sudden death of the emperor's brother. In fact, the emperor's brother did not die suddenly, but died of poisoning. Now, the king has gone through life and death searches several times, and finally found the truth. The king is going to find out this sinner who dared to kill the king in front of all the ministers in this palace."

"May I ask who the lord is talking about?" Shangguan Qi had already vaguely guessed some answers in his heart, but he still didn't dare to deliberate in detail, so he had to ask cautiously.

Jun Shecang raised his hand and pointed at Luo Zishang.

Luo Zishang's expression was calm, he shook his folding fan, clapped his hands and smiled, "My lord is very scheming, and in the name of the late emperor, I, Luo Zishang, will be severely punished. Naturally, the position of supervisor of the country in the late emperor's edict has nothing to do with me, Luo Zishang. relationship, then the prince will get rid of the serious trouble in his heart, and he can continue to control the power of supervising the country with confidence, right?"

"Luo Zishang, this king's aspirations are not above the supervision of the country. This king only wants to find out the truth about the death of the emperor's brother. This king knows that you must not accept this one-sided statement. But there is evidence here, so you can't argue." Said With that, Jun Shecang clapped his hands twice, and Duan Ziyan walked out from among the courtiers.

Luo Zishang smiled coldly, "My lord, you have a very close relationship with the Duan family. You know the truth, and I know it too."

Jun Shecang bent the corners of his lips, "It is said that the body is not afraid of the shadow slanting, Master Luo is not guilty of guilt, why are you so nervous?"

"Luo just doesn't want to delay the succession of the new emperor because of himself. The prince has a noble status, so naturally he is not afraid. Luo is just a businessman with a humble status." Luo Zishang said lightly.

Duan Ziyan cupped his hands and said: "This matter is very important, please listen to me."

Shangguan Qi nodded and said: "The old minister swears to the holy ancestor with all his blood, if there is really another mystery behind the death of the late emperor, the old minister will definitely insist on investigating to the end."

Duan Ziyan said: "Thank you, my lord."

Shangguan Qi said seriously: "Of course, if none of your evidence can solve the doubts of the ministers, then Mr. Duan is also guilty of disrespect."

Duan Ziyan smiled slightly, "I will definitely not disappoint you ministers." Then he walked up to Luo Zishang and said, "Master Luo, I said you murdered the late emperor, can you plead guilty?"

"It's nonsense, what's the crime?" Luo Zishang said indifferently.

Duan Ziyan said: "Then if it is said that you colluded with Mo Zhiyan to murder the late emperor, you also deny it?"

"It's even more ridiculous. The late emperor treated me with great kindness, and often called me to discuss matters in the palace. Mo Zhiyan was the late emperor's favorite concubine, and she just went to send some snacks to the late emperor from time to time. The humble ministers strictly abide by the order of the emperor and his ministers. How dare you presume, such a crime, I cannot bear it."

"I can't afford it, so may I know this thing, my lord?" Duan Ziyan ordered someone to present a piece of white jade pendant. This white jade pendant is as moist and beautiful as a full moon, the size of a child's fist, and the carved patterns are very exquisite. Everything.

Luo Zishang frowned slightly, "This is the jade pendant I usually wear, but I lost it for a long time, I don't know where Lord Duan found it?"

Duan Ziyan smiled, "This item was obtained from the Suyu soft pillow that Mo Zhiyan used for Concubine Mo in the past. Master Luo should know the origin of this item better than Weichen."

Luo Zishang said coldly: "This jade pendant of mine is not an ordinary thing. No matter who sees it, they will fall in love with it. Besides, this jade pendant has no inscription or mark, so what does that mean?"

Duan Ziyan nodded, cupped his hands and said: "Since the physical evidence is not enough to be believed, then I still have personal witnesses. I hope all the adults will allow the witnesses to go to court."

Shangguan Qi responded, "If there are witnesses, please bring them along."

Duan Ziyan then shouted, "You can come in now."

A woman in a light pink court lady's dress is coming up to the palace softly. Some courtiers may recognize her. She is the first-class court lady Pearl next to Mo Zhiyan. After Mo Zhiyan was arrested, the fourth court lady in her palace... After dismissing, they all served as rough envoys, the tree fell and the monkeys scattered, no one would pay attention to the little girl's going or staying.

But it is this little girl who can most determine success or failure at a critical moment.Seeing the pearl, Luo Zishang looked a little uneasy.

"Perhaps you don't know each other. This little maid is named Pearl, and she used to be Mo Zhiyan's confidant. The eunuchs and maids in the palace should be more familiar with her, and her words should be more true than our wild guesses."

"This little girl must be able to do nothing for the sake of profit. If you promise prosperity and wealth over there, anyone can point a deer as a horse and talk nonsense. Don't Lord Duan find it ridiculous if you show it like this?" Luo Zishang said coldly. If you want to let you mess around until the new emperor is about to ascend the throne, can't you wait for it?"

Jun She Cang said leisurely, "Master Luo is not guilty of being a thief, why is he so angry?"

"My lord's words are wrong. Luo is angry not because of his innocence, but because of all the people, he regrets the twists and turns of my new king." Luo Zishang spoke loudly.

Jun Shecang laughed all of a sudden, "Lord Luo, don't worry, I will be responsible for everything."

"Of course it's the prince's responsibility. I hope the prince can get what he wants." Luo Zishang smiled and rubbed the jade ring on his hand.

Pearl then said, "This servant has seen all your lords."

When she got up, Duan Ziyan took out the jade pendant and handed it to her and asked, "Have you seen this jade pendant before?"

Pearl looked at it and said: "This servant has seen it, it belongs to Master Luo Zi Shang Luo."

"You can see clearly, this is not a fool's talk." Duan Ziyan said seriously.

Pearl said: "I don't dare to look at it. Master Luo personally gave it to the empress. He said that this jade pendant is engraved with a Pixiu, which is the totem of the Luo family. The Pixiu is a beast of wealth. It is for the empress, so that the empress can rest assured."

"Relax, what are you reassuring?" Duan Ziyan asked.

Pearl carefully said: "At that time, the Empress Dowager was ill, and Concubine Mo Fang entered the palace to serve the Empress Dowager to recuperate her illness. The empress refused to allow Concubine Mo Fang to enter the palace on the grounds that Concubine Mo Fang was just a concubine, and Concubine Mo Fang used the identity of the empress's sister instead. Stay here, the empress is afraid of the concubine Mo side, so Master Luo took off the jade pendant to reassure the empress."

Luo Zishang smiled and said: "It's really nonsense, what does your mother's fear of Concubine Mo side have to do with me?"

Pearl said: "I don't know what's going on here, and the empress didn't let me guess, but before the late emperor passed away, the empress had a lot of medicinal powders, which were mixed with spices, and the empress often mixed them herself. I don't know why. What, before the late emperor passed away, the empress stopped mixing and ordered me to bury all those medicinal powders, the servant girl thought, it should have something to do with the late emperor."

"Okay, how long are we going to talk to such a person? Think about it, why don't you think that you are a noble concubine and Mo Zhiyan is your court lady? We must pay attention to evidence." An official who supported Luo Zishang He stood up and shouted impatiently.

Pearl shrank unconsciously in fright.

"My servant, my servant has evidence." Pearl said tremblingly, "Your Majesty has a very precious prescription, which has been carefully kept away. The servant found it when she was tidying up the dressing table, and she secretly took out the prescription during the raid. .”

"Since you had the prescription at the time, why didn't you take it out immediately? It can be seen that the prescription is fake, and you fabricated it later." The official asked.

"Master Zheng, you talk too much." Jun She said calmly.
