Chapter 420

It’s just that Emperor Duanhua was slapped in the face shortly after he said this – Nuan Tai Fei’s beloved courtesan, Qin Ye, flung herself down under the danjiang courtyard and cried out in grief and indignation, “I beg the Empress Dowager, Your Majesty, to do justice to the Dowager Consort’s wife!”

Because the Imperial Doctor proved that Mrs. Nuan did not hang herself from the beam, but was knocked out from behind and hung onto the beam!

Fortunately, she was saved in time: did not receive not to disturb the command of the Palace, according to the usual rules of serving, carrying refreshments into the inner hall, see the situation is not right, rushed out to call the people!

“Has the Imperial Concubine woken up?” Duanhua Emperor forced to hold down his anger, and asked in a cold voice, “If she woke up, can you say what kind of person attacked her?” Although he could not wait to kill Nuan Daifei’s mother and son by a thousand cuts these days, so as to wash away Emperor Xianjia’s shame, but in the deep palace, Daifei was attacked, which one of the emperors could tolerate it?

Today the Dowager Consort in the side hall of Huiyi Palace could be hung from a beam, tomorrow Emperor Duanhua himself in Xuanming Palace, is he going to be hung from a beam as well?

Qin Ye wiped the tears, cried, “too doctor wonderful hand, too consort lady has woke up, just because the lady woke up, said is alone in the temple, suddenly feel the back of the head came a heavy blow, and then unconscious, slave girls know, the original lady is not their own hangman, the party asked the doctor for the lady to check, whether there are other injuries? Fortunately, the doctor said that the Queen should have been knocked unconscious and then hung up without any other injuries.”

These words were not only to explain to the Empress Dowager and Emperor Duanhua about the so-called “hanging” of the Nuan Tai Fei, but also to indicate that although the Nuan Tai Fei was almost killed, her honor was intact – otherwise, if she was a young and beautiful Tai Fei and was poisoned when she was alone in the palace, it would be hard not to arouse certain speculations. It is difficult not to cause some speculation.

After giving her own master a defense, Qin Ye only continued, “Your Highness was making a coat for the Empress Dowager, was sitting diagonally on the soft couch, lowered her head to concentrate on the needlework, did not pay attention to the other, so until she was knocked unconscious, she did not find anything wrong!”

Does this mean that Mrs. Nuan can’t provide any clues?

But the good thing is that there is more than just one Nuan Tai Fei living in Hui Yi Palace – Empress Su, who resides in the main hall, is the proper owner of Hui Yi Palace.

Although it was said that the Empress Dowager was no longer managing the affairs of the Six Palaces now, but with the incident in Huiyi Palace where the Dowager Consort was almost killed, Empress Dowager Su was worried about her own safety as well as fearing that the fire would burn down to the Su family or King Sukwang, so naturally she couldn’t just sit back and do nothing!

So at this point in time when Qin Ye reported, Empress Su also came.

Her voice is still not good, when she came with the eldest princess of Changxing, by the eldest princess of Changxing to speak on behalf of, “mother learned of the encounter of the Nuan Tai Fei, immediately ordered people to pass Hui Yi Palace all over the gate guarding the chamberlain, to confirm that today, in addition to the Empress Dowager’s side of the sent to pick up the King Qing His Royal Highness, no one else in and out of the palace, then ordered to block the palace door, one by one to check the Palace of the Palace of the Palace of the Hui Yi the direction of the Palace of the Palace of the Palace of the Emperor! ”

“Five people have been identified as the most suspicious, all of them are tall and well-built chamberlains, and all of them said that they were not sure of their exact location during the time of the Nuan Tai Fei’s accident!”

“At this moment, all five are escorted outside the temple, and I would like to ask the Imperial Grandmother and Imperial Brother to deal with them!”

The Empress Dowager and Emperor Duanhua were both green in the face, and after saying “hard work” to the Empress Dowager, they ordered the five people to be brought up one by one for trial – Empress Su had already narrowed down the suspects to five, and the two of them were not hardworking, so it didn’t take them much effort to confirm the following The real culprits: four of them in the family under the threat of annihilation, had to confess, the reason why they can not account for the whereabouts, all because of the things done at that time or against the rules of the palace, or lazy negligence of duty suspected.

At this moment, one by one, although it is necessary to receive punishment, but also ruled out the possibility of plotting to harm the Nuan Tai Fei.

Only one person, after several times lying was recognized, violently rose up and crashed into the temple column, but wanted to die to keep the secret!

However, before the Empress Dowager and the Son of Heaven, he naturally did not have such an opportunity, and this move was merely a way for the crowd to confirm that he was suspicious!

“Drag it down!” The Empress Dowager shouted angrily, “Have the Order of the Tucking Court ask for clarification immediately!”

-That’s getting taken down and tortured.

A few moments later, the pale face of the tucked away court order came to resume orders, “That chamberlain has confessed, instructing him to plot against the Nuan Tai Fei, is … Fu Tai Fei!”

Before the words fell, the upper and lower levels of the Qingxi Palace were all taken aback!

“Dowager Empress Dowager, concubine wronged ah!” At this time Fu Tai Fei is also in, after all, she can leave the palace, relying on the dowager empress remembers the old love, this will be the warmth of the matter of the dowager consort open, she was afraid of the dowager empress angry out of a good or bad, naturally has been in the dowager empress in front of the wait – just now, she did not less to persuade the dowager empress to calm down the wrath of the dowager empress.

Hearing that, she was shocked and “flopped” down on her knees, sharply defending herself, “I rely on the Empress Dowager’s love to get where I am today, so how could I possibly let you down by plotting against the Nuan Tai Fei? What’s more, what good would it do for me to murder Mrs. Nuan?”

The Empress Dowager’s face turned blue as she asked the tucked away order, “That person testified against Mrs. Fu, is there any evidence?”

“Back to the Empress Dowager’s words, my humble servant has already found some of Consort Fu’s secret possessions from that person’s residence.” The court order knows that Fu Tai Fei is sheltered by the Empress Dowager, if not asked clearly, how dare to report? At this moment, he said, “My official has already checked, are the late emperor in the time, clearly recorded reward to Fu Tai Fei.”

“It’s not like that!” At her words, Tai Consort Fu was so horrified that she almost fainted, and hurriedly explained, “After the late Emperor’s death, my concubine was sent to the palace because she was childless! At that time, I left in a hurry, and the carriage place is limited, a lot of things can not be taken away, can only be left behind. Later, by the grace of the Empress Dowager, I returned to the Imperial Capital! But what I couldn’t take with me at that time, I didn’t find again. I thought that I only need to serve the Empress Dowager with all my heart now, and that those things are gone, not worth bothering the Empress Dowager, so I didn’t mention it! If those things were really given by the late emperor, then it is very likely that they were obtained by someone when I left the palace, and used to plant them on me at this moment!

The situation she was talking about was also known to the Dowager Empress and others.

Because of this system inherited from the previous dynasty, nothing out of the concubines, in the emperor after the collapse of the horizontal or vertical is to go to the palace and wait for death – basically no possibility of turning over – so there is never a lack of low worship of people in the palace, are regarded as a good opportunity to make a fortune in this situation!

The carriage that sent them to the palace was small, so naturally it couldn’t carry much.

So everyone could only selectively bring some soft goods, and it was impossible to bring all their belongings with them!

Although it is said that the rest of their belongings, not all of them can not be divided by the palace people, most of them still have to be put into the treasury, but the person who handles more or less can take advantage of a bargain.

Even if Fu Taifei later came back, but because she is not like the Nuan Taifei, is not by virtue of the heir, the return of the hall, is dipped in the light of the Empress Dowager – so she must also take into account once the Empress Dowager to go, their own situation, do not dare to very much to pursue their own inexplicable lost things!

The Empress Dowager was silent for a moment and said, “Empress Dowager, what do you think?”

“Daughter-in-law remembers that the palace that housed the late emperor’s concubines would also record what they had with them when they traveled there.” Empress Su took her hand and stroked her throat, dumbly said, “If you send someone to take the records there, then you can know whether or not the things in the hands of the chamberlain are from Fu Tai Fei’s giving!”

The Empress Dowager looked at Emperor Duanhua again, and Emperor Duanhua nodded, “I thought what Mother Mother said was very true!”

Fu Tai Fei heard the words, secretly relieved, subconsciously towards Empress Su threw a grateful look – she was so shocked that she didn’t think of this section, not wanting Empress Su to be willing to help her speak.

Speaking of which, back then, when Emperor Xianjia’s fight for the Crown Prince was going on, when the Dowager Empress and Empress Su went head to head, she had pitched Empress Su in public in order to curry favor with the Dowager Empress.

Unexpectedly, Empress Su was willing to repay her grudges with kindness today …

Fu Tai Fei this heart, for a moment do not know what is the taste?

But at the moment, Empress Su’s eyes were downcast as she looked at the bricks of the temple not far away, paying no attention to this guilt and gratitude of hers.

“Now sending people to the palace, this coming and going, today is definitely too late!” The Empress Dowager looked at the sky outside the palace and said, “This matter, this is the end of the day, Emperor?”

“By the order of the Empress Dowager!” Emperor Duanhua was busy saying.

Empress Dowager nodded, also ordered to disperse – of course, Fu daffodil must be first house arrest, as for the warm daffodil there to pacify and condescension, is handed over to the Su daffodil: after all, the warm daffodil this time, even if it is hung on the beam, rather than their own fear of crime since . After all, even if the Nuan Tai Fei was hung on the beam, rather than his own fear of crime.

The Empress Dowager and Emperor Duanhua don’t trust this Dowager Consort, and although they didn’t tell Empress Su explicitly, they also hinted to Empress Su to keep an eye on the mother and son.

“Ah Xu, what do you think is going on here?” Emperor Duanhua brought Jian Xu Bai back to Xuan Ming Palace, after entering the palace, he sent off the palace staff, the cousins were silent for a long time before he said, “Nuan Tai Fei was really killed by Fu Tai Fei? Then the words of the court judge, and in the end is true or false?”

“Whether or not Tai Consort Nuan was murdered by Tai Consort Fu, I don’t know either of the two Tai Consorts very well and don’t dare to speak out of turn.” Jian Xu Bai mused, “However, the courtyard judge?”

It was only then that Emperor Duanhua remembered that although Jian Xu Bai had surmised part of the inside story on his own, the matter of the courtyard judge was unknown.

The emperor told the emperor to suspect that the bloodline of the King of Qing roughly, “I think that the court judge served the late emperor all his life, and now really not much time, he has no children, no children, and even nothing close to the relatives of the deceased friends, and why lie to me?”

“What Your Majesty said is very true.” Jian Xu Bai thought for a moment and said, “But I think that for the sake of safety, it’s better to thoroughly investigate the courtyard judge! Otherwise, there are no outsiders here, so I’ll be honest: Mrs. Nuan’s mother and son are insignificant. But if they damage His Majesty’s reputation, then …”

–King Qing to be really not the blood of Emperor Xianjia, Duanhua Emperor quietly disposed of their mother and son, it is just; if it is, but was slandered not, Duanhua Emperor mistakenly believe the words of the court judge to dispose of them, once the truth is revealed, Duanhua Emperor blames himself does not matter, afraid of this whole trap is set for Duanhua Emperor.

When the time comes, it is no small matter for the Emperor to be burdened with the charge of plotting against the youngest brother of a concubine mother!

After all, the means and prestige of the Duanhua Emperor are far worse than the Emperor Xianjia, the Emperor Xianjia killed the King Yi Jing outside the half-brothers and sisters, still sitting on the throne; but the Emperor Duanhua is not his father’s ability to fall into such a handle, may not be the world is going to be born what ripples!

Emperor Duanhua heard the meaning of Jian Xu Bai’s words and was silent for a long time before sighing, “I know!”

After a pause, in the end said, “I can’t apologize to you for what happened today …”

“The depth of love is the depth of responsibility.” Jian Xubai mildly said, “cousin do not have to be so, I am not a child who does not know what to do, how can I not understand that if other people are framed, and have the opportunity to prove themselves today? In the end, cousin is worried about me.”

He entered the palace when he was young, and was highly favored because of the Empress Dowager. Both the Empress Dowager and Emperor Xianjia and Empress Su taught him to call Emperor Duanhua, who was still the Crown Prince at that time, “Cousin”, and when he grew up, he called “Cousin of the Crown Prince”, and they got along as if they were brothers of an ordinary family.

Later, he went to Wuhuan, hovering six years back, grew up, because of the time and distance between the distance has also been alienated, of course, the main thing is still the dispute over the Crown Prince – in order to maintain the majesty of the Emperor of the Duanhua, the party to change his mouth to shout “His Royal Highness the Crown Prince”.

This will reintroduce the childhood name, even if Duanhua Emperor is full of guilt, he can’t help but lose his concentration for a moment, and laugh at himself: ”I always heard people say that after sitting in this position, a lot of people and things will be different. I always think, that is someone else, I will not be like this! Today I realize that I am no better!”

“Sitting in this position, cousin is his majesty, is concerned with the safety of the world, the relationship between the countryside, how can be compared with the time when he was the Crown Prince, the Prince?” Jian Xu Bai calmly asked back, “At that time, there was imperial uncle presiding over the overall situation, the burden of the ancestral lineage of Da Rui, in the end, did not really fall on His Majesty. So I don’t feel that this is Your Majesty changing, but rather that Your Majesty’s responsibilities have gotten heavier.”

His words let the Duanhua Emperor heart better a lot, is brewing how to compensate for this cousin, did not think that Jian Xubai suddenly lifted the robe and kneeled down, “Nuan too consort thing, right now there has been the Royal Grandmother to ask, and belongs to the affairs of the harem, not the minister can comment on. I only implore your majesty, thoroughly investigate the murder of my third brother’s family, to comfort my third brother’s family in heaven, and the heart of the minister’s birth mother, the Grand Princess of Jin!”

Emperor Duanhua was shocked, “Jian Yiyu is also dead? When did this happen?!”
