Pretty Fox: Misunderstood His Royal Highness

Chapter 302 Killing with a Knife 5
In less than half a month, Song Yuanfang settled the case.

The fire in the female wing of Pushan Temple was man-made.The one who set the fire was a monk named Wu Hanpeng.After torture, Wu Hanpeng confessed that the mastermind was Zhou Ji's elder brother, Young Master Zhou.

This matter brought out many things.

The first is Mr. Zhou, because his younger sister Zhou Ji is the concubine of His Royal Highness Yuan Qingwu. She does a lot of evil and is domineering on weekdays. She likes to ride a horse and wander around. got it.A few days ago, because the girl was forcibly taken home and forced to be a concubine, the girl refused and committed suicide by jumping into a well.

This matter caused a lot of trouble, and Yuan Qingwu came forward to settle it.As a result, Young Master Zhou did not receive the punishment he deserved, but was confined to the mansion for two months, facing the wall and thinking about his mistakes.

Then came Zhou Ji.

It's just Yuan Qingwu's little concubine, but because of Yuan Qingwu's doting on her, she is arrogant and domineering. She doesn't take the crown princess Deng Aimin seriously, and she is disrespectful and swears at Deng Aimin.This time I went to Pushan Temple to offer incense, because Yuan Qingwu inadvertently boasted that a little girl beside her had good-looking hands, but she cruelly chopped off the little girl's palms at the wrist, which shows the viciousness of her heart.

The reason why Eldest Prince Zhou and Zhou Ji bought Wu Hanpeng and set fire to the wing room was because they forced the eldest princess to give up the best wing room to Zhou Ji, but they couldn't do so, so they held a grudge in their hearts.

The radish was pulled out to bring out the mud. As a result, Yuan Qingwu was also dragged into the water.

In a rage, the emperor ordered Yuan Qingwu to be imprisoned.

Mr. Zhou's family, young and old, were all imprisoned in death row.That night, Zhou Ji hanged herself with the unformed baby in her womb.Not long after, the emperor decreed that Prince Zhou and Wu Hanpeng suffered Ling Chi, and all 28 members of the Zhou family were killed; anyone who was involved with him was also exiled.

The queen came forward to avenge Yuan Qingwu.

Yuan Qingwu was completely kept in the dark about this matter, and his fault was nothing more than pampering the wrong woman.In order to save the Yuan, the empress did not hesitate to prostrate at the emperor's feet in front of all the ministers, and kowtowed like garlic until her face was covered with blood and did not stop. She said with tears:

"Your Majesty doesn't care about your concubines, but also thinks about De Concubine's sister. De Concubine's sister Quan Xia knows, how can she feel at ease when she sees Wu'er like this?"

　The queen is not Yuan Qingwu's biological mother, but she pleads for Yuan Qingwu in this way.

　The ministers were moved, and they all knelt down to plead for Yuan Qingwu: "Your Majesty, this matter has nothing to do with His Highness the Crown Prince. It was the Zhou family who committed such a rebellious thing. Now the Zhou family loves punishment. Just spare His Highness the Crown Prince, His Highness the Crown Prince was an unintentional mistake."

　The Empress Dowager refused to let her go, so Yuan Qingwu must be punished.

　Because of Yuan Qingluo, the Empress Dowager's dislike for Yuan Qingwu has long been like a fly, wishing to slap him down with one palm, to kill them all, and disappear in front of her forever.What's more, it was her natal family who had the accident this time?
　The emperor was in a dilemma.Finally he said to the Queen Mother:

　"Although the prince is not aware of this matter, it is indeed related to him. It is not that I have not thought about abolishing his status as a prince, but the prince is not at fault. If he is abolished like this, it will not only seem too If it is too rash, it will cause unnecessary shocks in the court, unless it is absolutely necessary, I don't want to do this."

　The emperor's tone was firm and reasonable, which made the empress dowager unable to refute.

　In the end, the emperor spared Yuan Qingwu.Order Yuan Qingwu to confine his feet in the East Palace, face the wall and think about his mistakes, without his consent, he is not allowed to take half a step out of the East Palace.
