poisonous woman

Chapter 244
"You are talking nonsense! There is no such thing at all." Concubine Wen Gui couldn't sit still, she almost fell off the chair, she knelt on the ground and pressed her forehead to the ground, "Your Majesty, you must not listen to the Queen's words. She is aware of the death penalty, so she intends to take revenge on her concubine, and wants to use this to hit Jin Yu, you, holy man, don't listen to her words."

Her sharp eyes were like two sharp arrows, they shot at the queen together, and said fiercely: "Queen, what happened back then was decided by the sage, and there is no need to distinguish the fact that Concubine Wan is living with others. Today you are distorting the facts, intending to Slandering me, do you still want to reverse the case for that lowly maid?"

The queen didn't even look at her, she just stared at Emperor Xiao Jing, because she knew Emperor Xiao Jing very well, and knew exactly what he wanted.

Overturn the case?That's what he wanted most.He had long wanted to reverse the case for Concubine Wan.

She did not refute Concubine Wen's words, but said: "The concubine is not lying. If the Holy Majesty wants to know, he can interrogate all the concubines. Presumably they know more about what happened at that time than the concubine."

Concubine Wen pointed her teeth sharply, "Interrogation must be tortured, and torture must be used to confess. Under severe punishment, there is no truth. It doesn't mean that you can have whatever confession you want."

The queen was at a loss for words, but Rong Zhao spoke quickly, "Masters can't use torture to interrogate, but slaves can. I believe that there are still old people who served you around, and these slaves know best what the master does."

Rong Zhao pulled Xiao Junjue, who was still wandering in the sky, to the center of the hall, stretched out his sleeves and bowed his head, begging, "Please re-examine the matter of the past, and return the mother and concubine's innocence."

She glanced sideways at Xiao Junjue, and pinched him hard.Xiao Junjue looked back at her, pursed his lips, kowtowed to the ground, and said: "Please re-examine the matter of the past, and return the innocence of the mother and concubine."

As soon as his words fell, Xiao Xuanqi also walked to the center of the hall. Concubine Hui also participated in the incident back then. Seeing that he also came out, she hurriedly said, "Xuanqi! It's none of your business, you are not allowed to participate."

Xiao Xuanqi is only her son in name, with his character, who can control him.Regardless of Concubine Hui's ugly dying face, he did not kneel down, and leaned over and said: "I also ask Father to re-examine what happened back then, and return Concubine Wan to her innocence."

Lord Rong thought for a while, and stood up, "The minister seconded the proposal."

As soon as he finished speaking, Second Master Rong, Brother Huguogong, Dali Temple Minister and others also pleaded, "I ask the Holy Majesty to retrial, I ask the Holy Majesty to retrial, and I will second the proposal."

Emperor Xiao Jing stood there in a daze, unable to calm down for a moment, he could only recall Xiao Jun's call to father emperor in his mind, this call was like rain after a long drought to him, and he had been longing for it for a long time.

"I grant your request." Emperor Xiao Jing stared straight at Xiao Junjue with uncontrollable joy on his face.

Rong Zhao glanced at Xiao Junjue, gently tugged him, and said in a low voice, "Thank you quickly."

The turbulent mood of Xiao Junjue lingered in the corner of his mouth, and it didn't dissipate for a long time, until Rong Zhao pulled him, he put away his smile, "Thank you, Sheng..." After Sheng Zi said half a word, he stopped, He raised his head and looked at Emperor Xiaojing, "Thank you for your kindness."

Before Emperor Xiaojing asked them to get up, Rong Zhao raised his eyes to look, and wherever his eyes went, he felt a soreness and sadness in his heart.Above the main hall, Emperor Xiaojing stood alone on a high platform. Looking closely, there were a few strands of gray hair on his temples. He was only in his early forties, and he had gray hair.

In her memory, the emperor's uncle was the most loving, always smiling at her, but he couldn't see any fine lines. When did it start that such deep lines crawled onto his face?
His eyes were unusually bright at this time, and there were sparkling things flickering, more like they were soaked with unspeakable excitement.

Rong Zhao knew what was shining brightly.

After a while, Emperor Xiao Jing finally had a reaction, he took a step forward, but stopped, raised his hand, "Get up." Listening carefully, there was a trembling voice in his throat.

Compared with this incident, Emperor Xiaojing paid more attention to Concubine Wan's old case, and ordered the prince to be imprisoned in the East Palace first, and the queen to be imprisoned in her own palace until the case of Concubine Wan was clarified before trial.

Concubine Wan's matter is not involved in government affairs, and there is no need for such a big battle between the three divisions. The queen is imprisoned, and many concubines are involved in the case. Emperor Xiaojing's most trusted is Chang En, who has followed him for decades, so this matter is fully entrusted to him. trial.

It took three days, and stacks of confessions with bloody fingerprints were placed on Emperor Xiaojing's imperial case. Emperor Xiaojing looked at them one by one, and all the confessions were connected together to restore the whole story of the year.

After reading all the confessions, Emperor Xiaojing was already in tears and could not make a sound.

If he had such a firm and thunderous method back then, she would not have died in the cold palace. After all, he had betrayed her.

The matter of Concubine Wan is known to the world, and this body can be clearly understood.If she has a spirit in heaven, she will also comfort her.

Emperor Xiaojing is no longer the emperor who was always checked and balanced by others. He rejected all opinions and named Concubine Wan as Empress Xiaoyuan.

The concubines who framed Concubine Wan were either demoted or imprisoned, except for Concubine Wen.

I don't know if Concubine Wen Gui really didn't participate, or the empress framed it, or other reasons, none of the confessions mentioned Concubine Wen Guifei, which was completely inconsistent with what the empress said.Emperor Xiao Jing didn't investigate further, this time Xiao Jinyu made a great contribution, if he disposes of his mother and concubine at this time, there will be another wave of restlessness in the court.

Not only did he not dispose of Concubine Wen, but he also rewarded Xiao Jinyu for his meritorious deeds. So far, King Jin's popularity has reached its peak, and Concubine Wen has also become the highest in the harem.

But after that, Concubine Wen fell out of favor completely, in fact, it was not she who fell out of favor, all the concubines fell out of favor, whether it was related to the events of the year or not, because Emperor Xiaojing never set foot in the harem again.

As for the prince and queen, they were all abolished.The empress did not participate in the framing of Concubine Wan. Emperor Xiao Jing promised her to keep the prince alive, and demoted the prince to a remote area, and he would not be allowed to enter Beijing again without an edict.

And the empress gave her a white silk. After many years of husband and wife, Emperor Xiaojing left her a whole body.

However, whether it is the prince or the queen, Xiao Junjue took back the blood she shed from them, and it was double.He said he wanted them to pay in blood.

All of a sudden, the situation in the court changed, the crown prince was deposed, the king of Jin was in the limelight, and the most important thing was the king of Chu.People who were unremarkable before are not the same now.Concubine Wan has cleared her grievances and was posthumously named queen, so the status of King Chu is quite different from before. What does that mean?It means that he has become the first son, and the eldest son.

Things in the world are ever-changing, and no one knows what will happen in the next moment.For example, King Chu, who was originally a prisoner, became the most eye-catching prince in the court in a blink of an eye.

It's a world-shaking change.

Xiao Junjue belongs to a rookie, but it is not enough to shake Xiao Jinyu. Xiao Jinyu has been in the court for many years, and has made many plans in the past few years, and has gained a firm foothold in the court. Half of the court officials belong to his faction.

Now that the crown prince has been abolished, the calls for making Xiao Jinyu the crown prince are very loud. For a few days in a row, there are piles of memorials for King Jin to be crowned crown prince.

"Shi'an, tell me, which of my princes is the most suitable to be the emperor?" On this day, Emperor Xiaojing summoned Lord Rong to the palace to play chess, and he seemed to mention it inadvertently during the intense game between the two.

The chess piece in Lord Rong's hand almost misplaced, he smiled lightly, and calmly said: "Every prince of the Holy One is very good."

"Shi'an, I'm asking you which one is better to be the emperor." Emperor Xiaojing asked solemnly.

Marquis Rong smiled narrowly, and said ambiguously: "Good or bad, it's all up to you, Your Majesty. Your Majesty knows which one is the most suitable."

Emperor Xiaojing smiled brightly, pointed at Lord Rong, and said: "You, you are really an old fox, just chatting, why are you so strict?"

Lord Rong's expression was stern, "This Prince Chu is not just chatting, the old minister really dare not speak nonsense."

Emperor Xiaojing nodded, "This time I can't be as casual as when Li Jingrui was."

After dropping a son, he said: "What do you think of King Jin?"

Lord Rong Hou thought about it, and said: "Jin Wang is talented, diligent, studious, courteous, and good at communication. He always discusses political affairs with ministers and shares worries for the Holy One."

Emperor Xiaojing paused for a moment, with a serious expression on his face, "Discussing political affairs? That's what you said about forming a party for personal gain."

"Hey... It's not so serious to say that forming a party for personal gain is so serious. I just like courteous corporals. But in the past, King Jin was very elegant and noble, but recently he is a little abnormal, and seems to be a little more radical." Maybe it was the King of Chu who took the throne, and King Jin's heart rang. Zhong, he even felt that Xiao Junjue was much more difficult to deal with than Xiao Jingrui, so he tried his best to suppress Xiao Junjue when he was still fledgling, so that he would never be able to get up.

"He is eager for quick success." Emperor Xiao Jing commented.

There was silence for a while, both of them focused on the chess, and after a while, they said, "Where is the King of Chu?"

Lord Rong raised his eyelids to look at Emperor Xiao Jing, and said: "He is just the opposite of Jin Wang, not as smooth as Jin Wang, too indifferent, not good at socializing. Jin Jin is humble and polite, and he gives people a kind of unruly attitude." Sensation." With a smile, he shook his head, "I'm still a boring gourd, and being with him can only be described as being on pins and needles. I don't know how Weichen's daughter gets along with him?"

Obviously, Lord Rong used complimenting words when talking about King Jin, but when it came to King Chu, it was as kind as talking about his own child.

However, when it came to asking about the establishment of the crown prince, the sage mentioned the king of Chu, which means that the sage also had the intention of making the king of Chu the crown prince.

Lord Rong immediately made a calculation in his heart. In the fight with King Jin, King Chu had little chance of winning.

Although he became a legitimate son in name, Empress Xiaoyuan was conferred after him, and Empress Xiaoyuan's background has always been criticized by others, so there are still many people who will not recognize his identity.

In addition, the same sentence, not good at making friends, rarely interacts with the court ministers, that is to say, he has no foundation in the court, and a prince without the support of courtiers is like a cactus growing in the desert. No matter how strong the vitality is, it is isolated. helpless.
