"Then bring the people up." The emperor said coldly.
Then, the people waiting outside immediately brought the two women up and knelt on the ground.
"Tell us what happened in the capital these days, and let the emperor seek justice." Jin Xin said warmly.
The two women had never seen such a world. They were brought in just now and saw that the street was full of blood. The several corpses carried out frightened them.
They didn't know what happened here just now, but they thought that when they entered the palace today, they were invited in by Concubine De, and they could leave after telling the truth about their experiences.
"The civilian woman's surname is Zhang, and her surname is Chen. We were both invited by Yucheng Rong to deliver the baby to Concubine Rong. Because Concubine Rong sent a letter to her family saying that the baby was too big and she wanted to find a midwife who could change the fetal position. We both Knowing how to do this craft, we were invited. When we entered the capital, a young man picked us up, but the young man disappeared the next day. Instead, a high official came, saying that Rong Bin did not need it. We delivered the baby and asked us to go back with the money. At that time, we were preparing to leave the city and saw the high official following us. We were not new to the world. We had seen many dirty tricks when delivering babies to wealthy families. We both felt that something was wrong. , we didn’t dare to leave the city, because if we went out, we would definitely be silenced, so we hid. A nobleman saw us in a panic and rescued us. We told our story, and after checking, he found out that the high official was a member of the government. From the government."
Now that the matter has come to this point, there is no need to say more about the following, combined with the fact that Concubine Rong previously reported the midwife sent by her parents' family.
The midwife invited by the Rong family did not enter the palace, but was hunted down. However, these two were sent in because it was related to the Duke's palace. After a little picketing, they knew what was going on.
This Mingxia suddenly killed people in the street, and specifically killed the two midwives sent in by the Duke's government. As for the reason, it doesn't need to be said in detail.
The emperor closed his eyes, feeling even more helpless.
He didn't want to touch the queen during the mourning period, but the queen insisted on causing such a thing at this time. It was really difficult for him to keep her.
After listening to Po Wen's story, the queen's feet became weak.
His father actually let the two midwives run away without telling him how she could clear the relationship for him.
"Queen, what else do you have to say?" The emperor looked at her and sighed deeply. The disappointed look in his eyes made the queen heartache.
She loves the emperor, why can't he just love her more?
"Your Majesty, this is just a deliberate frame-up by Concubine De Gui. My concubine did not do anything about it. Your Majesty, you can't just listen to it!" the queen cried.
"Really? Why did she frame you?" the emperor asked.
"Of course she is jealous of me and wants me to die!"
"Why is she jealous of you?" the emperor asked again.
The queen was stunned by these words and couldn't answer for a while.
Yes, why does Concubine De Gui be jealous of herself?
When it comes to favor, the Emperor cares most about Concubine De. When it comes to children, who in the palace is as lucky as Concubine De. In this palace, Jiang Jin has everything everyone wants, so why is she still like this? Against yourself?
After thinking about it carefully, she understood. The queen pointed at Jin Xin and said, "Jiang Jinxin, it was you who set the scene. You want the emperor to deal with me. You want this post, right?"
Jin Xin was silent and watched the queen going crazy.
As she said that, the queen stepped forward and grabbed the emperor's sleeves, and slowly knelt down, "Your Majesty, these two wives were clearly found by Concubine De. Sima Zhao's intentions are known to everyone, and she just wants to destroy the concubine."
Hearing this, Jin Xin turned around and knelt down, "Your Majesty, I swear that I was not framed in any way for what happened today. I am holding these two wives in order to protect myself. What the queen did to me before The concubine is still having heart palpitations, it is definitely not for frame-up, but for self-protection. Just seeing Rong Concubine die, the concubine is really heartbroken for her, so she wants to expose the queen!"
As the two of them went back and forth, the emperor felt upset and even more angry.
"Pass on Sun Yi!" the emperor said coldly.
When the Queen and Jin Xin heard this, their expressions were different. Jin Xin was relieved, but the Queen was nervous.
Sun Yi is the chief of the Yuqiansi. The Yuqiansi followed the emperor all the way to the throne. He only serves the emperor and is very loyal. Under normal circumstances, he will not be used. Once he is used, it will definitely affect a family.
Last time, Jian Yuqiansi and the imperial guards from the inner court went to the Gao family to ransack the house and took care of the matter overnight.
If the emperor does this, he will disturb the Duke's palace.
The queen's face turned pale. She raised her eyes and looked at the emperor's cold and determined eyes. She suddenly smiled.
"Your Majesty, aren't you afraid of being criticized by the world for doing this? The Queen Mother has just passed away, and you are eager to destroy the Lin family, just because of what Jiang Jinxin said?"
"If the Lin family does nothing, I will naturally not touch the Lin family." The emperor said calmly.
This sounds ridiculous.
None of the noble clans that stand tall in the capital are extremely filthy. A person may be able to control himself when he walks into the court, but in a family, for several generations, who can guarantee that the hands of others are clean.
One person's uncleanness implicated the entire clan, and the emperor just made excuses to destroy the Lin family.
"Your Majesty!" The Queen stepped forward again, with tears in her eyes, and looked at the Emperor pleadingly, "I admit all my faults. Your Majesty will give me death, and I am willing to do so. But please, Your Majesty, please do not pursue the Lin family. I am concubine." Willing to die immediately."
The emperor was not moved at all. He looked at her calmly and said to her, "If the queen is not wrong, I am not a heartless person. You can go back to the palace and wait for news."
The queen was shocked when she heard this and shouted, "Your Majesty, you can't do this!"
The people in front of the emperor stepped forward to hold the queen, but the queen refused to leave. She clung to the hem of the emperor's clothes and begged.
But no matter how she shouted, she was eventually taken away by the royal guards.
Seeing the queen being dragged down, everyone in the courtyard remained silent.
Jin Xin raised her eyes and looked at the emperor. She really couldn't tell what he was thinking. Jin Xin couldn't help but feel worried for herself.
In fact, he also knew what he was doing today, and he just handled the matter according to his own will.
"Leave the matter of Concubine Rong to the imperial concubine's disposal. I have to go to the mourning hall. Not a single word about today's matter shall be spread out. If even a word is spread out, everyone present will be punished by the nine tribes." The emperor's tone was calm, but this The words were extremely heavy.
As he said that, he looked at Jin Xin, "Jin Xin, in the past few days, you will handle the matter of Concubine Rong. Since the third prince has no one to support him, he will give it to Concubine Xuan. What do you think?"
Jin Xin's heart pounded violently, and her palms were covered in cold sweat. She calmed herself down and stepped forward to salute, "I obey my decree."
The emperor hummed, then turned around and led the people away.
When the emperor left, Jin Xin could hardly stand still. Cui Gu supported her and said worriedly, "The emperor may be suspicious of your empress."
"Of course he was suspicious, but he didn't care." She calmed down, but her heart couldn't calm down.
Maybe he just indulged himself because he felt that he couldn't overcome any difficulties.
