Chapter 215 Long Live Trial
Zhou Xinran, with a proud smile, seemed to confirm Man Xiu's speculation again. It was really her! Unexpectedly, after chatting with Xue'er for such a while, she can go through the rain like this. I can't underestimate it! Look at her proud appearance of an outsider. Obviously, she used her best move to kill people with a knife!
"Do you think it was a murderer or a deserter who was found to be sentenced to a heavy sentence? Or do you pretend to be a eunuch and bully you? Zhou Xinran's words just came to mind again.
Murderers and deserters? Although Man Xiu racked his brains, he didn't expect that Zhou Xinran would be good for her to tell that he was the murderer of Lord Ge. But will this woman not do anything that is not good for her?
At this moment, there is no minister who compares him with sea arrest documents! Could it be that they don't remember him? No, many of the ministers are looking at him at this moment, with suspicion and even contempt. As for what is doubted, it is unknown, but there is a commonality in those eyes, just like that of Duke Qi, as if he would die soon.
Pretend to be an eunuch and bully you? There must be a reason why Qi Gong did that just now. Zhou Xinran was not sure whether he was a real eunuch, so he didn't know how to tell his father-in-law, or simply told Long Live, otherwise, this matter would not have been so big. As he said, normal men are not allowed to exist in the harem except for the emperor. His existence obviously touched the bottom line of the emperor, and he is still the emperor's favorite concubine now!
Man Xiu tried his best to calm down his uneasy heart, but he couldn't do it.
He doesn't want to say it, at least until there is not enough evidence.
It's not that he hasn't thought about it, but that the emperor will believe the words of the second-grade Ma Shuai, or will he believe the words of a murder suspect who has no evidence and bullied you? What's more, it is a recognized fact that his father Qin Wei betrayed the country and killed people. It seems natural that his father was killed, but Zhou is loyal to the country and eliminate harm for the people! Doesn't even Yao Tian, who he thinks is the most righteous in the barracks, think so? So, just because he doesn't believe that his father will do that, will someone reverse the case for his father? Maybe the emperor beheaded him in anger, so won't his challenge end before it starts?
He knows too well that he is still in a weak position. In particular, he is still in this so-called "cannibals without spitting bones" place. His opponent is still a dignified second-class Ma Shuai. And are there any other accomplices behind this two-grade Ma Shuai? In those years, why did he kill his father so deliberately, what he wanted, and what story was hidden behind it... Man Xiu found that he was getting more and more greedy. He wanted to know all this, even if he lost his life.
But now it seems that even if you lose your life, it is difficult to know the truth. No matter which one he guesses, he will definitely die unless there is a miracle. However, Zhou will not take the initiative to admit that he framed his father. Ye Zilian disappeared like him for nearly two years and could not speak for him. He could expect any miracles.
Maybe it was a mistake from the time he decided to choose to enter the palace with Defei. He should listen to Uncle Yuan's words and follow him for a long-term plan. He should not be so reckless to break into this strange world alone to cause trouble or even kill himself.
While thinking, I suddenly felt a pain in the bend of my legs and fell on my knees in the hall. And just now, he received the long-year-old reward here, although he didn't see what it was at all and didn't care what it was.
"Your Majesty, the criminal has been brought here."
Is it a criminal? They actually used the word human offender. That's right. It's not a criminal. What is the chain on his hands and feet? He must have been distracted by thinking about things again just now, and he didn't even know when the shackles were put on him.
At this time, the whole palace was so quiet that no one dared to say a word. Yunxuan pulled Xueer desperately at this time, afraid that she would do something out of line with excitement. But Xueer couldn't figure out why she was fine just now and just got the emperor's reward. In a blink of an eye, everything changed?
"Do you know the crime?" There was finally a majestic sound above his head.
"Return to the emperor, the villain doesn't know what crime he has committed, please make it clear." Man Xiu didn't know where his courage came from and dared to say so. Maybe like others, I expected my own ending and just want to live a more dignified life at the last moment.
There was a moment of silence, but at this moment, no one even dared to breathe loudly. The emperor held a stack of paper in his hand. Defei tried her best to see it, but she still couldn't know what it was because of the distance between the seat. But she knew that since Grandpa Qi presented this fold of paper to the emperor, the emperor was furious and ordered people to capture Xiao Anzi.
"What a bold slave! I really don't see the coffin and don't cry! OK, I want you to understand today! Mr. Qi, say it first!" Obviously, after Qi came in just now, he had already told him the answer with a gentle nod.
"Yes, your Majesty. I have just tested it, and this person is indeed not a eunuch.
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was in an uproar, but when they saw the emperor's iron blue face, they immediately closed their mouths. At this moment, the only thing that is really happy is probably Xueer. If it hadn't been for the life of her life, she really wanted to come forward and hug her.
And the most nervous thing is the German concubine. She doesn't know how to end it. After all, she is from Lingde Hall. Just now, she was recommended by Duke An to the emperor to play the piano, saying that it had nothing to do with her. I'm afraid no one will believe it.
"What else do you have to say about the great crime of bullying you?" The emperor didn't target Concubine De and Grandpa An first, but I guess they will come one by one.
"Go back to the emperor, the villain never said that he was a eunuch. Why did you bully you again?"
"When the miscellaneous family first asked you, you clearly said that your name was Xiao Anzi. You only entered the palace yesterday and served in Lingde Hall..." Qi Gongqi, who was waiting to question him, but at this point, he found that the person in front of him had never admitted that he was a eunuch. Humph, it's not a eunuch, but it's even more damnable to wear the eunuch's clothes and go in and out of the harem!" As soon as the conversation changed, Duke Qi had convicted Man Xiu, and at the same time, he also completely brought out the German concubine.
At this time, the German concubine could no longer sit still. She immediately knelt on the ground and reported, "The emperor clearly observed that my concubine only has the emperor in mind. How dare to have an affair with others!"
"Sister, are you not self-made? Long live, did you say anything about your sister?
This damn phoenix concubine! At this time, I still fell into the well! Alas, how long will it take to fall into the well?
But now is not the time to curse Fengfei. Look at the emperor's gloomy face. You know, not only Qin Manxiu, but also she will die uglyly.
"Since Defei has stood up, I will ask Defei, is he from Lingde Hall?"
"Your Majesty, listen to my concubine's explanation, it's like this..."
"You just need to answer yes and no!"
Concubine De bit her lower lip fiercely and said, "Yes."
"He only entered the palace yesterday?"
"Yes!"
"How can I remember that Grandpa An recommended his apprentice? Only one day after entering the palace, he became an apprentice of Grandpa An. Your Lingde Hall is more efficient.
"Your Majesty..." At this time, Grandpa An was also so scared that his legs were weak and knelt to the ground. Everyone can hear that what the emperor said at this time is by no means a compliment, and it is only one step away from the head landing.
"Yo, my sister really has the ability to bring a man back from outside the palace. If it hadn't been exposed, I'm afraid we would have become fools and been kept in the dark! Ah, by the way, I heard that my sister deliberately stayed in the restaurant for a day on the way back to the palace. I don't know if it has something to do with the people in front of her?
Da Damn it! Concubine De stared at Concubine Feng fiercely.
"Sister Defei, this is your fault. How can we be sorry for you? Even the only palace costume in the New Year is given to you, and you are still not satisfied! Unexpectedly, he ran outside to hook up with such a little white face..."
"Enough!" Longyan's face was gloomy and gray at this moment, and Fengfei also closed her mouth interestingly. She knew that this was a sign before the emperor's anger, and she didn't want to die in front of Princess De.
"Your Majesty, my concubine is wronged! My concubine is wronged! My concubine is innocent with this man, and there is absolutely nothing far away from him. Please check it clearly!" Concubine De pleaded with tears.
"You knew that he was not a eunuch, and you had to bring him into the palace, and arranged for him to serve here as an eunuch to please me. Say, what kind of heart do you have? Don't you want him to assassinate me to complete the good of you two!"
"Your Majesty, my concubine is wronged! My concubine is loyal to the emperor, and heaven and earth can learn from it! Being able to serve the emperor well is the only wish of my concubine. How can you bother to find such an unrevant person to assassinate the emperor? Defei finally knew what it was like to go from hell to heaven, and then suddenly fell from heaven to hell. Unfortunately, she is now begging for no work every day, and she doesn't want the land! Why is the imperial heart that once returned to his side now getting farther and farther away from him?
"Then why did you take him to the palace?"
"Concubine..."
"Can't you say it? Then I will remind you, Lord Cui, say it!"
Lord Cui Yunjiang of the Privy Council came out and replied respectfully, "Go back to the emperor, what is the relationship between the Empress Defei and this person and why she took him into the palace? I don't know the details. However, according to Weichen's many years of experience, there is a 70% to 80% possibility that the "Yangguan Sandexpian" played by the Concubine Gangde and the "Yangchun Baixue" played by this person came from one person. Of course, this is only Weichen's speculation and needs to be observed by the emperor.
"Lord Cui is proficient in Guqin and said that these two songs should be made by one person, but the words of the family are not enough to be trusted by the music official!"
Concubine De's heart is trembling.
After the music official was passed to the hall, what he said was almost the same as Lord Cui.
"Princess De, can you hear it clearly? Now more than one person says so, then only the aggrieved Concubine can play another song "Yangguan Triassis" to prove her innocence.
"Your Majesty, my concubine knows what's wrong, and I really know what's wrong! My concubine admitted that she was selfish and took a fancy to his piano skills. I wanted to please the emperor with his hand, but I didn't expect to bind myself in the end! The concubine is self-made, but I also asked the emperor to forgive my concubine for so many years of loyal service to the emperor. I will definitely change my past! Don't dare to be so arrogant again!"
