Chapter 734 The evidence of guilt is "conclusive", how to get rid of the crime
Long before the maid of honor picked the lotus to make a confession, the beautiful scenery, not far from the death of the eldest prince, told the experience in public. Naturally, it was streamlined and did not repeat the dispute in the streamer pavilion: "My concubine was changing clothes at that time, and I heard someone outside the window exclaimed that His Highness had fallen into the water, but I was very suspicious. I thought that Your Highness was noble, and this was in the Empress's bedroom again. In addition, how could he serve the palace people around him? His Highness was in danger, so he asked his maidservant to push the window, but he didn't see the figure. Soon he heard the noise, footsteps shouting, and it seemed that someone jumped into the water. The concubine quickly asked his maid to speed up her hands and feet to tidy up her clothes. As soon as she arrived in the corridor, she heard a cry..." << /P>
In fact, at that time, Yijing and Aming "sit firmly on the fishing platform" and did not want to take a step closer to Lianchi, but in order to make things reasonable, he had to make an excuse that he could not show up at that time.
What was anxious was Cai Wei, who brought her master and servant here. She rushed over and reported the big prince's fall into the water, and said with tears that although she had been saved, she was unconscious.
How could the scenery not know that the trap had been set up long ago? When she came, it was still calm and half a figure disappeared. If the eldest prince had just been pushed into the water, how could he not call for help? It's not a baby in its infancy, at least it's old to be able to run and jump.
What does it mean? It shows that the eldest prince has been killed for a long time, and she didn't make a noise until she came here to change her clothes.
There is a piece of grass beside the lotus pond, and there is also wet mud. If she rushes to rescue and leave footprints, she will be defiled by those palace people later because she pushed the eldest prince into the water. Isn't it impossible to argue?
The scenery is certainly unwilling to get close to the water's edge.
Instead, Cai Wei was ordered to immediately send people to report to the queen and the empress dowager of the two palaces, issued an edict to the imperial doctor, and asked if there were palace people who were well
Cai Wei couldn't drag the scenery to the water's edge, so she had to act according to the order.
Beauciful scenery and don't know medical skills, how can you rescue and other things? It's enough to preside over the overall situation.
The only person who witnessed the prince fall into the water was Cailian, and Caiwei and others had not been allowed to make confessions. At this time, they all knelt outside the hall and waited for the edict.
Unexpectedly, Lu Shangshu immediately noticed that the eldest prince did not accidentally fall into the water, but was killed.
The main hall is getting quieter and quieter - only the queen is still choking.
Yijing actually had leisurely bent her fingers and scratched Yu's palm - the queen's acting skills were not in place. Shouldn't she ask Cailian harshly at this time? What's wrong with you? I think I'm going to use all my thoughts on the "heartbreak" layer. Indeed, seeing the treacherous plan come true, I'm afraid that it's really difficult to burst out and cry. The prince is waiting to see, and my concubine is about to appear.
Yu Yu couldn't help coughing and took a look at the beautiful scenery - princess, be careful, this is not the time to take it lightly.
Then he heard a fierce reprimand: "What Lu Shangshu said is serious! Was the eldest prince murdered?! What a slave maidservant dares to claim that it was His Royal Highness who accidentally fell into the water. It must be you who did evil, and the maidservant dared to murder the prince!"
The angry person is the empress dowager. After all, it was her grandson who died, that is, the queen, and there is still a son's bloodline. If she really misses and drowns, it will only be fateful, but she is actually strangled and sunk!!!
How can the Empress Dowager stand it?
Yi Jing took another look at Yu Yu - the Empress Dowager's reaction was mostly hidden in the drum, otherwise, at this time, she would only wait for the queen to start the performance.
And the Empress Dowager knew that things would not be simple, and her eyes were even colder.
Of course, the emperor knows that the eldest prince is a prostitute, and his bloodline cannot be guaranteed. It is impossible to become a crown prince in the future. However, although the patriarchal law has the division of direct concubines, the throne is not limited to the succession of the direct prince. Otherwise, there will be no royal prince in all dynasties. The eldest prince may still be the son of the emperor, otherwise the emperor at the beginning When I was in the mansion, I would not decide to replace the commoner. Such an eldest son has no support and deliberately raised him so that he is lazy and softer. In the future, he will be idle on the side with the pretext of lack of virtue and ability. Why should he kill him?
The Empress Dowager has no doubt that the death of the eldest prince came from the idea of the emperor.
The tiger poison does not eat the son. Since the emperor believes that the eldest prince is his own bone and blood, he killed him after using it. How can he treat his brothers well?
Although Gaozu had five sons, two of them were involved in the struggle for the throne and had to be executed. Taizong's blood relationship was very thin. Only when the previous emperor left more than a dozen children, three people had died in the battle for power. Today, the emperor is suspicious and fierce, and there are traitors such as Qin's party members who instigated right and wrong. At present, if he is still alive, if there is a , it is difficult to guarantee that the emperor will kill many hand and foot pains.
These are all the blood of the late emperor. Thinking of this possibility, how can the Empress Dowager not worry about it?
The clan has to take precautions, but the nephew is too sparse, and the surname of Yu Jiangshan is also difficult to be stable!
At this time, the Empress Dowager did not have the leisure to investigate deeply - the emperor intended to alarm the officials of the Ministry of Criminal Justice and found out why the eldest prince was murdered?
But Cailian, who was scared by the harsh rebuke of the Empress Dowager, crawled and trembled and cried and confessed.
"The maidservant was wronged, and the maidservant has 10,000 courage and dare not kill the dragon... It's really... It was the words said by the princess of Chu who bought the maidservant. As for how your Highness fell into the water, the maidservant did not know..."
The Empress Dowager never thought that her forced question would have such a result and was stunned in the chair.
And the queen ended her "heartbreaking" and began to transition to "sadness and indignation". She covered her mouth with a hand and pointed straight to the scene with the other hand: "Su, you have a vicious heart, but you dare to kill my son just because of resentment..." In that situation, if it weren't for Mrs. Qin and Qin Ziruo, I'm going to rush forward and fight hard with the scenery.
With a "bang", it was the old princess who dropped the tea cup. Obviously, she was very scared, but her lips trembled and didn't know how to decompose it. A pair of eyes stared at Cailian: "How dare you spray people with blood!"
The eldest princess was still calm. At first, Gain heard about the accident in the Liuguang Pavilion, and later knew that the eldest prince was killed on the spot, so he realized that something was wrong. At this time, she just sneered, but pressed the old princess: "It's nonsense. This maidservant is serving beside the eldest prince. She must be the empress's confidant. Why? Can you be easily bought by Jing'er?"
The Empress Dowager subconsciously nod her head, her eyebrows were as deep as a lock, and glanced at the emperor faintly.
The emperor naturally looked calmer than the queen at this time, but the golden embroidered dragon robe could not hide his whole body - the only son was killed, and of course the emperor wanted to kill some.
"I haven't come from the truth yet." A deep voice.
Cailian trembled like a fallen leaf in the north wind, and her whole body crawled down, and her acting skills were indeed better than that of the queen.
Yi Jing thought that at least for now, Cailian did not need to panic. Since she was the lead singer, she must be the queen's confidant. This time, she was instructed by the emperor. Even if she was guilty of death, she only thought that she would successfully "deceive" and be operated by the queen. Are you afraid that she can't find a ghost? Cailian should have won the emperor's promise to ensure that she would "change her surname" and escape safely, and there must be glory and wealth that she could not have thought of in front of her.
heard Cailian say in a trembling voice, "The maidservant got the Mother's advice and went to the backyard to look for His Highness. Seeing His Highness climb on the fake stone, the maidservant persuaded him for a long time. His Highness was willing to come down, which shocked the princess. The princess gave the maidservant a reward and let the maidservant avoid it for a moment. The maidservant was alone. As it was true that the people in the palace were looking for His Royal Highness... ...The maidservant beside the princess scolded the maidservant for being humble and arrogant, and took out a purse as a reward. At a glance, the maidservant saw that there was more than half a bag of golden melon seeds in the purse, which was also a ghostly infatuation, and did not prevent the princess's malice..."
With that, he trembled and took the "bry" out of his sleeve and presented it.
Golden melon seeds were originally used as rewards within the imperial court. The beauty is a princess. Naturally, she has it on hand, and there is no recognition. It is not afraid of being pinched, and it is reasonable to use it to "bribe" the palace people.
The words of picking lotus naturally did not end here: "But the maidservant was uneasy after all. After waiting for a moment, she turned back and saw the princess and the maidservant standing by the pool, and Her Royal Highness was nowhere to be found... After that, the princess threatened again, claiming that the maidservant could not escape death if she talked nonsense, so she taught the maidservant's words..." P>
A bag of golden melon seeds is not enough to buy the maid of honor to commit the murder. With this statement, Cailian saw that the eldest prince had been killed and could not be lucky. In fear, she was afraid that the blame could not escape, so it was reasonable to fabricate a mistake and fall into the water to try to muddle through.
"A school of nonsense and a school of nonsense, Jing'er and the eldest prince have no resentment, how can it harm!" Even if the old princess is pressed by the eldest princess, it is difficult to hide her anxiety. At this time, she is more like a word of words.
The queen immediately found the "loophole": "My son is just a child. Of course, he has no grudge against the princess, but the princess has long been dissatisfied with my Qin family, thinking that those imperial historians who impeached her were the chief envoys of the prime minister's mansion, otherwise she would not have provoked everyone to embarrass them at the birthday banquet of their grandfather in this palace. The Japanese palace held a banquet. Because she was dissatisfied with Concubine Su's arrogant posture, she deliberately persuaded the police, but Concubine Su encouraged everyone not to let go... I'm afraid that Cai Wei's act of splashing wine was deliberately aimed at her into embarrassment. When she met the emperor when she changed her clothes, she had that vicious heart!"
Only at this time, when she saw the death of the "loved son", the queen took more attention to her manners than usual and did not howle. She only covered her mouth with one hand and pressed her chest with the other hand, which was far less sad and indignation when the power of "holding the harem" was taken away.
"The Empress's words are biased. Today, the fifth sister did not have any disrespect, but Zhang Xuanshi and Sun Yiren provoked first, and Qin Qiniang was rudely. On the contrary, it was the Empress who accused the fifth sister for protecting her sister. The fifth sister is not a narrow and vicious person, nor a fool. How can she be detrimental to the eldest prince? Question mark It's clear that this maidservant is talking nonsense. Yichen got up to maintain, swept away the usual weakness, and stared at the mother and daughter of the Qin family, which was as cold as frost.
"Knock" two fingertips to hit the case, but the emperor finally wanted to appear in pink. Of course, he would not pester the women's words and tongues. He asked Lu Ze directly, "What traces are there at the scene?"
Lu Ze did not expect that the matter involved Princess Chu. With his many years of experience in solving the case, he also noticed that it was extraordinary, but at this time, he could not hide it perfunctorily, so he had to tell the truth: "According to Weichen, Your Highness is by no means a mistake. If the soil by the lotus pool* slides down, it will leave traces... There are messy footprints, but there is no mistake in falling into the water. The slip marks... and the highness wears a hook on his waist and hangs a brocade handkerchief used by a woman, which seems to be left behind when she was struggling..."
Jinpa?! It turned out to be on the eldest prince.
Yi Jing lowered her eyes slightly - it must have been Cai Wei who took advantage of salvaging the eldest prince and the officials of the Ministry of Criminal Justice did not arrive, and someone left Jinpa on the eldest prince.
The queen also sneered - this time, how Su Wu defended herself. Although Cai Wei failed to lead her to the water's edge, she was also prepared in advance. Huang knew the size of Su Wu's embroidered shoes. She had already found the general size to cloth the scene, and there was a square Jinpa. Many women could "look" in advance, which was enough to prove that it was Su Wu's thing!
"Does Princess Chu have anything else to say?" The emperor asked in a low voice.
As soon as the evidence is not available, the eldest prince is not wrong but killed, so he will question the princess!
Yu Yu then let go, and the scenery also got up generously and bowed his knees in the hall: "What I said earlier was true. I learned that the eldest prince fell into the water because the maid of honor Cailian exclaimed and Cai Wei reported it. I can't figure out why the eldest prince was killed, and Cailian insisted that it was my concubine who had been poisoned."
"Does Su dare to say cunning? If it weren't for you, how could Cailian be sure!" The queen couldn't help it, and her eyes burst into flames: "Kneel down!"
The queen waited for a long time to kneel, but she did not forget to humiliate at this time.
"To the Holy King, I will ask my sin only by the words of the maidservant. Please forgive me for my dis submission."
Yijing did not kneel, but Yu Yan also got up, stepped forward, stood beside Yijing, and bowed to the queen first: "I can understand the Empress's grief, but I still have advice. I hope the Empress is slightly rational and don't believe one-sided words."
Seeing that Yu Yu came forward to defend, Qin Ziruo's face turned pale and didn't care too much. He saluted the people in the upper seat: "The maidservant has something to say, and I hope the emperor will allow it."
The emperor was worried that the queen was not powerful enough and didn't get to the point. At this time, when he saw Qin Ziruo on the top, he did not delve into whether it was courte or not. Hejin waved his sleeves: "It's important. Today, it is bound to come out. No matter who has doubts, you can say it bluntly."
Qin Ziruo answered gently and said softly, "At present, the princess and Cailian have their own words. As the prince claimed, Cailian's one-sided words alone cannot prove the truth. Don't invite Caiwei and the princess's maidservant Aming to go to the palace together."
At this time, Zi Ruo still maintained a fair attitude, because she was sure that as soon as Cai Wei came, Su Wu could not argue!
