"Ma'am, this is..."
Yun Shang sneered: "Naturally, I want Hua Yutong to understand that it is not so easy to pour dirty water on Ben Gong."
Yun Chang changed into the court clothes, boarded the queen's phoenix carriage, and went straight to the downtown area under the escort of the guards and yamen servants.
That place was still very lively, and Yun Chang heard noisy discussions when she was still in Fengjia.
"The empress is here!"
The voices of those discussions seemed to subside all of a sudden, only the voice of Yachai driving the people to both sides of the road was heard: "Get out of the way, get out of the way, the empress is coming, everyone waits to avoid."
Feng Jia walked forward for a further distance, and Yun Shang heard the voice of a palace official coming in from outside: "Your Majesty, we're here..."
The door of Fengjia was opened, the bead curtain was lifted, Yun Chang slightly bent down, got out of Fengjia, and got off Fengjia with the maid's hand.
"The empress is a thousand years old, a thousand years old!" The deafening voice of greetings.
Yun Chang silently glanced at the people who were kneeling and kneeling around her, before she set her eyes on Hua Yutong who was in front of her.
"Princess Seven." Yun Shang said indifferently.
"Sin..."
Before Hua Yutong could finish speaking, Yun Shang directly interrupted her: "Oh, I shouldn't call you the Seventh Princess. Xia Houjing raised an army to seek rebellion, rebellious ministers and thieves are no longer the noble Seventh Prince Oh, you... naturally you are not the Seventh Princess, but the wife of a traitor."
Hua Yutong's face suddenly changed color.
Yun Shang only gave Hua Yutong a cold look: "I heard that last night, assassins entered the yard where you lived and killed the two pregnant concubines of the traitor Xia Houjing. Two corpses and four lives , so you brought the corpse to this busy city early this morning, spreading rumors everywhere, saying that this palace and His Majesty sent people to kill these two people secretly? Is there such a thing?"
Hua Yutong gritted her teeth tightly and straightened her back: "It's true."
Yunshang laughed: "I already know what you said earlier. You said that I care about your reputation and don't want to be accused of inhumanity, but you want to kill the grass and get rid of Xia Houjing's children so that you can never be killed." It will cause future troubles, so I made this bad plan and quietly killed the two concubines and their children."
"I dare not report to the officials, because my palace and His Majesty are the Empresses of the Xia Kingdom, and no officials dare to question my Palace and His Majesty. Maybe this matter will just be left alone?"
Yun Shang's face was full of ridicule: "You really don't know anything about Bengong."
"Inhumane?" Yunshang sneered: "Xia Houjing conspired against you. As the seventh concubine, you will use the strength of your whole family to help. Your father carefully arranged everything for Xia Houjing in Liucang. These two concubines, They are also the daughters of the wealthy Liu Cang family, and Xia Houjing married them to gain the support of their family..."
"In conclusion, both you and these two concubines have contributed a lot to Xia Houjing's rebellion. You are also traitors and wives. My palace and His Majesty want your lives , the name is right and the word is right, why are you so unkind?"
"What's more, even if I want to deal with these two women and the unborn child secretly, I will definitely not keep you, leaving hidden dangers for myself for nothing. If it is Bengong who did it, what do you do today? I'm afraid I won't be able to appear here and cry out for them."
"However, since you want me to deal with you so much, then I should naturally fulfill you. Come..."
A guard immediately stepped forward: "Here!"
"Arrest Hua Yutong, the traitor woman, and put her in jail on charges of treason and slandering my palace and His Majesty. Then send people to Liu Cang to arrest Hua Yutong and all Xia Houjing's wives and concubines, including all the wives and concubines. Family members, arrested and brought to justice, and then escorted to Jincheng."
The guard stepped forward, restrained Hua Yutong, and was about to take him away.
Yun Shang's eyes swept over Hua Yutong's unbelievable face, and the corners of his mouth curled up: "I'm afraid you have misunderstood your majesty and this palace. Your majesty and this palace never need a reputation for benevolence. The common people don't need a benevolent ruler, what they need is a wise ruler, but there is a huge difference between a benevolent ruler and a wise ruler, Your Majesty will be a wise ruler, but you don't have to be a benevolent ruler."
"By the way, what you did today, when I visit Xia Houjing in prison, I will tell him in detail, and let him know that his concubine, in order to slander the reputation of His Majesty and me, He did not hesitate to kill his unborn child..."
"Take it down!"
The guards took Hua Yutong away, and Yun Chang's gaze fell on the two corpses on the ground again: "Send someone to identify these two corpses as soon as possible, and see if they are Xia Houjing's concubine and children." , if the identities are true, then they will be buried according to the specifications of the seventh prince's side concubine, if not, try to find out their identities and handle the funeral properly."
"yes."
After Yun Chang finished speaking, she turned around and got on Fengjia.
"The Empress, drive!"
"Congratulations to the empress, the empress is a thousand years old!"
It was not until they returned to Weiyang Palace that Qian Zhuo and Qian Liu let out a long breath.
Qianzhuo helped Yunshang take off the court gown, handed it to the palace servants at the side to put it away carefully, and said softly: "Looking at Hua Yutong's appearance, it seems that she never thought that the empress would appear."
Yun Chang casually raised her hand, took off the golden phoenix hairpin on her head, and handed it to Qian Zhuo: "It's not appropriate for me to show up or not, and I won't be able to find out for a while. Evidence to prove that this matter was not done by me and His Majesty. Even if the evidence is found, the people watching will think that I am trying to quibble."
"Besides, as those onlookers said before, I can't ask the people in the Yamen to investigate the case. I send people to investigate, and even if the murderer is found, they will only be the scapegoats I found. "
"But if I don't show up, it will appear that I have a guilty conscience."
Qian Liu took the common clothes and came over, Yunshang opened her hands, allowing Qian Liu to put the regular clothes on her, and then continued: "So whether I appear or not, Hua Yutong has a way to deal with it."
"What she didn't expect was that I didn't show any evidence that I wasn't the murderer, and I didn't ask people to find out the truth. I just told the onlookers that both Hua Yutong and the two pregnant concubines should be damned. .”
"And she didn't expect that I would order people to arrest her so recklessly, and even ordered their family members to be arrested for treason."
Qian Jue curled her lips: "To deal with a person like Hua Yutong, that's how it should be, and kill her by surprise."
Yun Chang smiled, recalling Luo Qingyan's words yesterday, she narrowed her eyes again: "Hua Yutong, I'm afraid it's just a chess piece, and the person who really plays this game of chess is still hiding behind. I have to completely disrupt his game of chess to force him to show up."
