Chapter 214 If You Reason with Gu, Gu Will Tell You

Chapter 214 If you reason with Gu, Gu will talk to you about feelings!

When Chunjia asked this, Princess Minghui hadn't opened her mouth yet, some courtiers were afraid that she would be reprimanded if she answered wrongly, so they spoke first: "Your Majesty, Your Highness the Princess is the flesh and blood of the late emperor. Doing such an unethical and illegal act? There must be some misunderstanding here! As we all know, Her Royal Highness has been ill since the summer vacation, and has not recovered yet. Once she was unable to see things, where did she come from to plan to poison the concubine? Lift?"

This is short of telling Princess Ming Hui directly, if it is she who did it, she will put the blame on the attendant.

"..." Princess Minghui was silent for a while, first thanked the courtier with a hoarse voice, then Fang slowly said, "The poisoning of the concubine Xian was indeed caused by my palace."

There was a brief silence in the temple, and then there was an uproar.

Yun Fenghuang slightly raised his eyebrows.

Although the eldest princess has always lived under Ji Sheng's wing and has no chance to practice, but after all, she was born in the royal family, so it is impossible not to hear the reminder from the courtier, otherwise why bother to thank him? Even now, you have to admit to the crime of poisoning the concubine, is this...?

Her heart fluttered, and she heard the eldest princess continue in a slow voice, "Concubine Xian is the imperial brother's favorite, although she is not a serious sister-in-law of this palace, she originally depends on the master when beating a dog, even if she has offended me, I shouldn't Let's do it privately..."

Speaking of this, someone naturally answered: "Could it be that the concubine Xian has done something outrageous and grievous in private that Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess cannot tolerate?"

"But even if the Concubine Xian's virtue is bad, there are still the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager in the harem, and Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess can also report to His Majesty to deal with it, so why bother to do it myself, and ruin the royal dignity in vain?"

Princess Minghui said hoarsely: "But what if she poisoned me first? Tactic for retaliation, she poisoned me, causing me to escape death, and I will still scare her. What's the problem? ? If this palace really wants to take her life, do you really think that Xiaoyun's auspicious person has his own celestial appearance, and he didn't die after drinking so much crane top red, and he was alive and kicking so quickly?!"

"This..." The ministers didn't know what to say for a moment.

Although in Chunjia's mind, Minghui is definitely not as important as Yunfenghuang.

But in the eyes of the courtiers, as the flesh and blood of the first emperor, Princess Minghui's status is not comparable to that of a mere concubine... Don't say that Yun Fenghuang's two children are adopted, to put it bluntly, even if she is the eldest prince The mother of life must not be as important as Minghui. Moreover, Chunjia himself had to make such a gesture, who told him that he was not Xiaozong's son, but an heir?

Therefore, Princess Ming Hui personally took revenge on Yun Fenghuang without going through the elders and the emperor. Although it was unreasonable, the courtiers really couldn't say anything to blame.

Some people even directly asked Chunjia: "Your Majesty, I don't know about the fact that the eldest princess was murdered by the concubine Xian, did your Majesty know about it?"

This question seems to ask Chunjia if you know, but in fact it is better to ask Chunjia, could this matter be ordered by you? !

And someone immediately spoke up and said: "This is unheard of, so there must be some misunderstanding?"

"What is the status of Your Royal Highness the eldest princess? If you don't like Concubine Xian, tell your majesty, how can your majesty be harsh on a woman for the sake of a woman?"

"When was Minghui poisoned?" There were discussions in the temple for a while, and Chunjia on the emperor's seat frowned slightly, and said gently, "Why haven't I received a report? When you were sick, I visited you from time to time and sent a servant to greet you." , but always stopped by Lingtang, saying that you have a sudden illness, but never mentioning poisoning, otherwise, how can I not investigate thoroughly and give you an explanation?!"

Princess Minghui said lightly: "At that time, both the imperial grandmother and mother were not in good health. After all, she had been resting in the palace for a long time a year earlier. She came back after the palace was drained. remember?"

Seeing Chunjia nodded, she continued, "So mother didn't realize that I was not sick, but poisoned! It's just that I was a little ill at that time, and I misunderstood it first, and I brought it into the description when I described it to the imperial physician. After some observations, the imperial physician believed it to be true, which led to a misdiagnosis. A few days ago, the matter of the three corpse insects was brought to the palace. The imperial physician was inspired, asked for the pulse again, and asked carefully. Shocked, after all, I am a woman, and I grow up in the palace, who can get in the way? In terms of ordinary life, although I am not as humble and sensible as the two younger sisters, I don't think I am hated by others... Who the hell is doing this? harm me?"

"At that time, my mother hadn't been abandoned yet, so there were naturally some people in my hands. I was afraid that the emperor's grandmother and brother would be worried, so I didn't say anything, I just checked quietly."

"In the end, I discovered that a court lady who usually served me Cha Guo in the Xinggong Palace had a close relationship with Cai, the concubine of Ranxiang Palace."

"As for Mrs. Cai, when she escaped the summer heat last year, her life was saved by a concubine Xian."

"Here I still can't believe that Concubine Xian is such a person, and I have never had any grudges against her, and she is deeply loved by the emperor's brother. You should know that the emperor always loves our three sisters, even though he doesn't like us in his heart, It shouldn’t be such a cruel hand.”

"But continue to investigate, all kinds of evidence show that this is the meaning of Concubine Xian."

"Actually, calm down and think about it, besides Concubine Xian, who in such a big palace has the guts to lay a poisonous hand on me?"

When the eldest princess said these words, there were not many emotional fluctuations, her tone was very calm, and her drooping veil remained motionless. Although she couldn't see her face, she could still imagine her quiet and elegant demeanor at the moment.

The more it is like this, the more it brings a kind of sadness that is almost greater than heart death.

The old people who came to Xiaozong's court all showed expressions of impatience.

Chunjia hadn't spoken yet, and Yunfenghuang hadn't refuted yet, most of the courtiers' hearts had already turned towards Minghui.

This is also a reasonable thing, the three eldest princesses are Xiaozong's flesh and blood, and they are the ones who should inherit Xiaozong's legacy the most. According to the law of the country, if this is in an ordinary family, even if it is a step-heir, most of the family property will be distributed to the biological daughter as a dowry.

However, the throne is different from ordinary family business and can only be inherited by men.

Chunjia inherited the throne, but let the eldest princess be poisoned, this should no longer be.

It was his concubine who attacked, and she was a concubine who was favored, which was even more outrageous.

Although the eldest princess did not directly express her doubts about Chunjia, she first said that she was a "female girl" and "couldn't hinder anyone's eyes", that is to say, she could not threaten Chunjia's throne, and then said, " Concubine Xian is deeply favored by the emperor's brother." He keeps saying that even if Concubine Xian doesn't like her, she shouldn't be harmed for the emperor's sake, and Chunjia's love for Yun Fenghuang is well known, but Concubine Xian still loves her. Attacking the eldest princess, is this a lawless concubine Xian? Isn't it Chunjia's acquiescence and even connivance?

The last sentence is even more interesting. Only Concubine Xian has the guts in such a big palace... Is it Concubine Xian who has the courage, or who gave Concubine Xian the courage? !

Many people couldn't help looking at Chunjia. Although they didn't dare to say anything, there was already some blame and resentment in their eyes.

Inheriting his own father's throne, taking almost everything left by his own father, but still wronging his own daughter like this... This is no longer a question of being unkind, but a matter of conscience!

"Naturally, I don't dare to question Her Highness the Eldest Princess, but as Her Royal Highness said, I can only be grateful to the Eldest Princess without any resentment. When I was in the palace earlier, the Eldest Princess was sick, and I often went to visit her." Yun Feng Huang breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said to himself that it was fortunate that he was worried, so he took the initiative to intervene.

Otherwise, in this case, Chunjia would not even be able to say anything questionable, because if she questioned, it meant that she didn't trust the eldest princess, and she might be suspected of favoring Yunfenghuang.

Fortunately, she was there by herself, and she didn't owe Xiaozong anything, so she took a step forward and said loudly, "Then Cai, I still have some memories. The Ranxiang Palace where she lives was unoccupied last year, so during the summer vacation, Mrs. Cai was ill. At that time, there was something going on in the palace. The former empress was unable to separate herself, and the palace people didn't dare to disturb her, so they went to report to the concubine. The concubine thought that human life was at stake, so she dared to order the imperial physician to go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment... From the beginning to the end, The concubine has never met that Cai family before, and has never taken this matter to heart after the incident! If Cai family has never forgotten this, and wants to repay her kindness, the first person to repay her kindness, isn't it the palace man who went around to pray for her? The two who want to repay should also be the imperial physician who diagnosed and treated him, but how can I get the concubine's turn?!"

"The most important thing is that the concubine has never harbored any malice towards Her Royal Highness, let alone instigated someone to kill Her Royal Highness!"

"As His Highness said, the concubine has always been very respectable in front of His Majesty, and she has the eldest prince and Princess Zhaoqing under her knees. With her background as a concubine, to be able to get to where she is today is a world of difference!"

"This concubine is not someone who doesn't know how to cherish blessings. Why do you want to murder Her Royal Highness, the eldest princess who has no enmity with this concubine?! Or risk your own good life now?!"

What the eldest princess said to the concubine is reasonable, and of course it is evidence in this case.

Minghui said: "The reason why I came back late this time is that one is that the residual poison is not cleared, and I can't rush on the way; the other is to sort out all kinds of criminal evidence so that the words are unfounded and the innocent are wronged."

Since she dared to say this, or in other words, since the empress dowager and the regent behind her dared to let her say this in the temple, they were obviously well prepared.

After a while, the waiters who came back with Fengjia brought in a court lady who had obviously been tortured, saying that she was the one who served the eldest princess Cha Guo before and was also ordered to poison the eldest princess directly.

In addition, there is a large stack of confessions, all of which have been fingerprinted, and there are old and new ones.

After the waiters obtained Chunjia's consent, they distributed it to the ministers.

It took a while for the courtiers to read the entire statement and exchange glances with each other.

In fact, based on their experience, it is not difficult to see that this confession is not so perfect.

There is no lack of room for criticism and questioning.

So the so-called concubine Xian murdered the eldest princess, it may not be true.

The issue is……

The two sides in the dispute today, one is the imperial concubine, and the other is the only daughter of the first emperor.

Although the imperial concubine is favored and can be re-elected, even if there are two imperial heirs under her knees, there are other high positions in the palace who can raise the infant imperial heirs...

As for the first emperor's daughter, the first emperor had only such a daughter!

How to choose this, needless to say?

Standing with Princess Minghui, even if it turns out that Princess Minghui misunderstood, or simply deliberately framed the concubine Xian, at least she would have a reputation of loyalty to protect the blood of the late emperor, even Chunjia would not be able to openly blame them for this.

If Zhanxian Concubine is a concubine, it is easy to be regarded as a villain who tends to power, and she will also be charged with being harsh on Xiaozong's first daughter. Maybe this move will make Chunjia secretly happy, but the official reputation is gone, and she will get along with her colleagues in the future It's not easy, and the emperor doesn't necessarily have a reward... this...

The courtiers looked at each other and quickly reached a tacit understanding: Princess Baochang, Concubine Qixian!

The regent and several confidantes exchanged smug glances with each other, and then looked at Chunjia who was sitting on the throne with his beard. Due to the blocking of the crown, he didn't know the emperor's expression now, but he also knew that it would not be good-looking.

He snorted coldly in his heart: Aren't you and Xiaoyun's lowly servant girl eloquent? Isn't it eloquent? Isn't it unreasonable to say three points?

Gu this time, I will not reason with you, only talk about love with you!

Relying on Xiaozong's legacy, who would dare to wrong the three eldest princesses, especially Ming Hui, who was born in the royal family?

And what about Yunfenghuang?

She came from a poor family and didn't even have any flesh and blood, what's wrong with her?

If you don't sacrifice her, who will you sacrifice?
