Chapter 156: The Queen's Evidence

Chunjia took time out of her busy schedule to go to Yanfu Palace, and the Six Palaces naturally took care of her.

"Your Majesty didn't look happy when he came out, but he didn't look angry either."

"Then it seems that the empress has given in. I thought she would offend His Majesty by breaking the can."

"Ji's situation is over now, even if the empress knows that she will die, she has no worries, but please think about it, there are thousands of ways for this person to die, some are decent, some are not, some are happy and some are suffering. Noble, you have always been pampered in the palace, how did you endure those trials?"

"That's right, from this point of view, it's only been a few days since the abolished queen."

The concubines are looking forward to it.

As a result, news came out in the evening that the emperor-to-be empress would go to the hall to defend herself tomorrow.

Now everyone can't understand it, Wei Hengyan went to Yun Fenghuang with his big belly to inquire about the news: "Sister, what's going on? Everyone in Yanfu Palace is like this, why are you still letting me know?" Is she going to court?"

"My palace is still inquiring about it." Yun Fenghuang said with a frown, "But since it's His Majesty's intention, can we stop it? Your Majesty is wise and mighty, since she has agreed, there shouldn't be any problem."

Wei Hengyan worried: "Is it possible that Your Majesty will not abandon the queen?"

She moved her already bulky body, approached Yun Fenghuang, and said cautiously, "After all, Your Majesty has always been kind, and the Ji family... the Empress Dowager is now being enshrined, and everyone is beating up and down not to reveal the bad news to her." Old man, maybe His Majesty thinks that the empress is too pitiful, so it is not appropriate to continue to blame her."

"Your Majesty is benevolent, but he is not ignorant. Your Majesty knows when to be tolerant and when to use thunder." Yun Fenghuang said in his heart that you are too sweet, and Chunjia's benevolence is only when he does not care about it. All kinds of tolerance and kindness in matters of care and insignificance.

If he cared about what he thought was important, that was the kindness of giving the Ji family a generous burial after it was destroyed.

Empress Ji would definitely not receive such kind treatment.

Because Chunjia is already facing the pressure of the regent, how could he leave such a hidden danger in the harem?

It's probably because Queen Xu can get some benefits by doing this...

Yun Fenghuang thought to himself, and said to Wei Hengyan: "We don't need to worry about this matter, anyway, neither of us can sit in that seat. Let Concubine Xuan Ruifei and the others speculate!"

Glancing at Wei Hengyan's stomach, "You, let's have a good pregnancy. Concubine Xuan Ruifei just came in and immediately sealed her concubine. How are you worse than them?"

Lightly dismissing the younger sister, Yun Fenghuang looked at the time and asked Chen Zhu, "Who's Your Majesty going to tonight?"

Chen Zhu said in a low voice: "Your Majesty is still in Taichu Palace."

This means that there is no one to sleep with tonight?

Yun Fenghuang raised his eyebrows. Although Chunjia is not a person who is greedy for beauty, it is relatively rare for her to live alone in the dormitory.

This is usually because government affairs are extremely busy, or there is no time to be distracted by major events.

In this way, I am afraid that the temple will not be peaceful tomorrow.

She asked people to go to the small kitchen to decorate anything and send it over as a token of her gratitude—in any case, Chunjia probably had eaten her meal when she sent it over—and then took a rest.

Since the Empress Dowager and the Empress claimed to be sick one after another, of course there is no need to ask for peace in these two days.

But the next day Yun Fenghuang woke up early on purpose, and she was not the only one. No matter how big-hearted the concubines are, they can't sleep late now. Ask for news ahead.

There is nothing new in today's court meeting. Newly arrived clans came to pay respects to the emperor one after another. By the way, they joined in the fun and asked for a thorough investigation of the queen to find out why the emperor had lost those heirs who had disappeared in the past few years.

When they said that two days ago, the emperor hesitated and blurted it out.

That day Chunjia was silent for a while, but said: "Since everyone thinks that we should find out, and the queen also asks to defend herself, let's declare the queen to go to the palace and confront him on the spot."

This decision stunned the clan and the courtiers, and Duke Yi subconsciously asked: "Your Majesty, do you want to invite other empresses to come to the palace for future palace affairs?"

Otherwise, how can we confront each other?

"No need." Chunjia looked around at the courtiers with different expressions, and said slowly, "Yesterday, I went to Yanfu Palace in person to show the empress and her ministers the memorial. An explanation from the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty."

After he said that, everyone's expressions became more and more strange.

Luo family, Ouyang family, Meng family, and Yin family became more cautious, because they all knew that the Ji family was destroyed so quickly this time, mainly because they were caught off guard—no one expected Chunjia to be so decisive and so ruthless .

Most people think that this fight between monarchs and ministers will last for quite a while. You come and go, you make moves and I resolve them. Both sides' cards, scheming, calculations, love... a little bit of consumption and sharpening, and finally come back again. A fight to the death.

However, Chunjia didn't follow the rules.

In fact, Ji is not weak at all.

Now that the Ji family is gone, the daughter-in-law of their family who was sent to the palace has to go to the court to defend herself. Could this be a futile struggle at the time of dying?

It's really a futile struggle, but Chunjia's cruelty and indifference, I'm afraid she won't give this chance at all.

So here comes the question, what is the current matter that has something to do with the empress, has Chunjia's acquiescence, and needs to be said in front of the courtiers?

In other words, with Ji Lingzi and Empress Ji, what else could Chunjia use?

Can't help but they don't think of successors.

What Yuan Tai's descendant Chunjia promised them before was that the successor must be among the daughters of their families.

This is also the reason why they are willing to work hard to hold the Ji family back from all aspects. Otherwise, Chunjia and the regent, how could it be so easy to kill the grass?

Now that the Ji family has fallen, it is impossible for Ji's daughter to continue to be in charge of the central palace, but because the queen has not been officially abolished after all, the successor is still only discussed in private... Could it be that the emperor has already made a decision, This time, let Empress Ji cooperate with me to finalize this matter?

After all, when an official resigns, the successor recommended by the predecessor is generally more likely to be recognized... right?

"I don't know that civet cats eating snakes and rats will hinder their offspring, let alone murder pregnant concubines." Amidst the different thoughts of the people, Empress Ji, wearing the queen's full set of Zhai clothes and phoenix crown, walked into the palace of the dynasty calmly , after saluting to Chunjia, and receiving the salutations from the ministers, she didn't say a word of nonsense, "Because I am the victim of the three corpses."

"I am His Majesty's married wife. I have been married to Your Majesty for nearly ten years. Not only have I not had anything, I have never even been pregnant."

"I have always been very puzzled."

"After all, before getting married, the family asked a famous doctor to check my pulse time and time again. They all said that Bengong is in good health and even has the appearance of a suitable child."

"The words of these famous doctors are very precise, and they are by no means one-sided."

"Otherwise, the Ji family would not choose this palace to marry His Majesty."

"Why is there no news after entering the palace? On the contrary, Kang Jieyu, a cousin who is not as important as this palace, gave birth to twin princes for His Majesty at the beginning of this year?"

"A few days ago, the Japanese palace heard about the common man Ji, and specially summoned the imperial physician to inquire about the three corpse insects. The imperial physician was reminded, and after checking the pulse of the palace again, he found that the three corpse insects in the palace were a long-standing evil. Mrs. Zheng just had a miscarriage, but this Gong is hard to conceive! Even..."

The queen glanced at Chunjia on the altar, and said lightly, "There is even less hope than Concubine Xian."

The hall was silent for quite a while, and even Chunjia was stunned for a moment, before someone said in disbelief: "Your Majesty, this is not a joke..."

"If you don't believe me, you can find a doctor you trust and ask for my pulse." Empress Ji said without raising her eyelids, "If there is half of this palace lying, I will let you deal with it!"

"I don't dare." The queen has not been abandoned for a day, and the queen should be treated like a queen on the scene-the courtier hurriedly handed over his hand to plead guilty, and then explained, "Your Majesty, I am not questioning your empress, it's just that the concubine Ji is your mother's direct relative." Aunt, you and your empress are blood relatives! Why would you do such a cruel thing to your empress?"

"Let's not mention that the Ji family has no children, how can we not expect the empress to give birth to a prince?"

Even if Ji Sheng doesn't like Chunjia, it's fine to stop others from giving birth to Chunjia's offspring, how could he stop his own niece?

Or the queen's niece?

If Empress Ji had given birth to a prince a few years earlier, to put it harshly, there would be no room for Chunjia to stand up!

Based on emotion and reason, even if the queen did something wrong and offended Ji Sheng, she would definitely not be able to cheat the queen like this!

Not to mention the previous harem knew that Empress Dowager Ji had always had a close relationship with Empress Ji.

This courtier's doubts are also puzzled by everyone - but Empress Ji smiled faintly: "Who said that the palace was murdered by the common man Ji? Don't forget, according to the investigation of the Imperial City Commissioner, it is not the way to use civet cats to murder the heirs." The Ji family thought of it, but the veterinarians of the Royal Beast Garden discovered it by accident."

"During the Shenzong period, they dedicated this method to the common man Ji Shi by mistake... But at that time, they were not qualified to directly meet the common man Ji Shi who was still the crown princess, and there were also palace people who passed it on."

"I won't go into details about the specifics: I have been a queen for many years, and I was victimized in the past because I didn't know that there is such a way to harm people in the world."

"Now that you know, it's not like you don't even know who harmed me."

"Chongyi Lu Qidao is the righteous daughter of the Marquis of Qingping, and the Marquis of Qingping was a close servant of the Ji family in the old days. Only when Emperor Xiaozong succeeded to the throne did he serve the imperial court."

"If we talk about the huge palace, besides the commoner Ji, who else knows such a hidden method of harming people, except Lu Qidao, I can't think of anyone else!"

Empress Ji said loudly, "If your Majesty and the ministers don't believe it, you might as well investigate Baohui Palace immediately."

"In order not to scare the snake away, I haven't taken any action since I noticed the clue."

"Presumably Lu Qidao still thinks that no one is aware of it, and there are probably clues in the Miqing Palace where he lives."

"This is a big matter, please don't delay, Your Majesty, otherwise, if the traces are destroyed, I am afraid that it will be difficult for me to prove my innocence, and the only thing I can do is die!"
