I saw Princess Zhaohua Yang Xuan striding up to the palace, followed by a woman in green. With her head lowered, her face could not be seen clearly, and her steps were slightly frivolous, as if she was timid.
The two came forward and bowed down, and the emperor said solemnly: "What does Princess Zhaohua mean by this?"
Yang Xuan raised his head with a smile, pointed at the person behind him and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, look, who is she?"
The woman in green clothes slowly raised her head, and everyone was shocked. That facial expression, that look, she looked like Yun Qiluo again! They couldn't help but look at each other, what on earth is going on
Yun Qiluo knelt down and prostrated, "I see you, Your Majesty."
The emperor was obviously surprised and frowned: "Are you the real Yun Qiluo?"
"Your Majesty, I am my concubine." Her soft voice was slightly choked.
The emperor looked at her in confusion, then at Yang Xuan, and said solemnly: "Princess Zhaohua, why are you with her?"
Yang Xuan said loudly: "This morning Princess Mingxi left a letter to Zhaohua, asking Zhaohua to take Concubine Yun to wait outside the palace. If the princess has not left the palace at three o'clock, Zhaohua will take her to the palace. Zhaohua doesn’t know about other things either.”
The emperor sneered, "Mingxi, since you already expected that the truth would be exposed, why did you bring the fake Concubine Yun to the palace to identify her!"
Su Li took a deep breath and replied sincerely: "Your Majesty, Concubine Yun's mind is sometimes unclear. If she is allowed to go to the palace rashly, I'm afraid the scene in the Imperial Study Room will happen again. Your Majesty has just seen it with your own eyes. Concubine Yun is very aware of Concubine Yun's habits. , she will go crazy at the slightest discomfort, so Ming Xi ordered someone to pretend to be Concubine Yun. This was a last resort. Now that the real Concubine Yun is here, Your Majesty can verify the authenticity of the testimony! "
"What's the use of saying this? If you want to testify against me, just come up with evidence.
! "The queen smiled coldly, with a hint of amusement flashing in the corner of her eyes. Concubine Yun had been locked up in the cold palace for so long without finding any trace of evidence. She could almost foresee what kind of miserable end Yun Qiluo would have!
"Evidence? Evidence... is Ruyijin's sachet!" Yun Qiluo suddenly jumped up and shouted.
Su Li's heart suddenly lifted again, and she comforted her softly: "Concubine Yun, don't be anxious. Think about it carefully. What evidence is there?"
Yun Qiluo kept circling in the hall, murmuring: "The sachet, the sachet was taken away by her..." She suddenly stopped, woke up and said to herself: "Yes, I still have some leftover. material!"
The queen couldn't help but sneered, "Yun Qiluo, are you out of your mind again?! You made the Ruyijin sachet yourself. It's common sense to have some leftover ingredients, so what can you prove?"
Yun Qiluo stared at her and smiled strangely, "Gu Yuantong, you are not good at female beauty, so of course you don't know. The material of Ruyi Brocade is very special. Once it is contaminated with the smell of spices, it will not fade for three years. Ruyi Brocade and that Spices are all tribute, and no one else in your palace is qualified to enjoy them. What I have in my hands is naturally what you give me!"
The emperor's heart moved. Although Yun Qiluo was a little incoherent just now, what he said now was clear and coherent, and there was no feeling of confusion at all. It seems that what Su Li said is true.
The queen's face changed slightly, but she still said forcefully: "Spices? Even the concubines in the palace use them. How can you prove that the spices are used by this palace?"
Su Li's eyes were fixed and he quickly answered: "Concubine Yun, where are the remaining pieces of the wishful brocade?"
The queen's heart was suddenly shocked. She had forgotten for a moment that Su Li had a sensitive sense of smell that was difficult for ordinary people to match!
"The rest of the material, please wait!" As she said that, Yun Qiluo pulled out a hairpin from her head and used the pointed end to open the lining of the cuffs of her shirt! She was indeed an expert at craftsmanship. In the blink of an eye, she deftly opened the middle layer of her clothes, and a small piece of fabric fell out from inside.
With just one glance, Su Li could tell that it was indeed Ruyijin's fabric. The Ruyi Brocade, made with the painstaking efforts of countless craftsmen, has bright colors and brilliance that cannot be compared with other extraordinary products.
She quickly stepped forward and took out the remaining material. Sure enough, there was still a faint aroma left on it. Su Li couldn't help but feel happy and carefully distinguished the smell, "Dragon's saliva, Lingling, Angelica dahurica, Peilan, Chuanxiong, Cyperus rotunda, Atractylodes... and ice dew
. "
Yang Xuan stood aside and quietly observed all this. Seeing that Su Li could accurately distinguish the ingredients of various spices in such a short period of time, her big bright eyes shone with surprise and appreciation.
Every time Su Li said something, the queen's face became darker. Dongfang Ze watched the whole thing calmly, with a cold smile on her lips. All the tributes in the palace were recorded in detail, and the ingredients were naturally recorded, and the Ruyi brocade and ice dew were exclusively for her. If Su Li didn't have a special talent, who would be able to tell the secret of it? !
Gu Yuantong... let's see how you can quibble this time!
The emperor's eyes flashed, and he had obviously thought of this. Eunuch Gao, who was beside him for many years, had already known his intentions. He immediately ordered the young eunuch to go to the House of Internal Affairs to get the record book, and quickly turned to the relevant record page. Respectfully handed it to the emperor.
The emperor glanced over it hurriedly, and his anger suddenly broke out. With a wave of his robe sleeves, the booklet was thrown in front of the queen with a "hurrah", "Gu Yuantong! What do you have to say?"
Hearing the emperor calling the queen by her first name, everyone immediately had an answer. I'm afraid there are not many names missing from the spices that Princess Mingxi mentioned just now!
The queen's face was as stiff as stone. She never expected that Yun Qiluo would still have a piece of Ruyi brocade left, and Su Li happened to be a master at smelling fragrance! Wait, the aroma... Her eyes suddenly lit up and she retorted loudly: "Your Majesty! If Concubine Liang's fatal poison is ice dew, how can we conclude that the brocade is dyed with this spice just based on Princess Mingxi's words?! She hates me to the core, how could I know she didn’t take this opportunity to impose the crime on me?!”
The emperor frowned, and a look of hesitation flashed in his eyes.
What a Gu Yuantong, worthy of being the Lord of the Sixth Palace, with a cunning mind and quick response!
Su Li frowned secretly, and looked at Dongfang Ze, and their hearts sank. The evidence was clearly in front of them, couldn't she still be convicted? !
After a while, the queen saw that both Su Li and Dongfang Ze were silent, and the fear in her heart was mostly dissipated. She walked slowly in front of the two of them, raised her head and stared proudly, the look of resentment in her eyes was clearly about to come. Fight to the death with these two today!
Dongfang Zejun's face was gloomy and he looked at the queen coldly.
Su Li said nothing, but her thoughts were moving rapidly in her heart. Ice and dew are colorless. Is there any way to make it show color? Suddenly an idea struck her, and she couldn't help but glance at Yang Xuan, who had been watching the show.
.
Yang Xuan turned her beautiful eyes and immediately noticed Su Li's thoughtful gaze. Before she could speak, she suddenly smiled slowly and said: "Although ice dew is colorless, there is no way to make it visible... "
The queen's face suddenly changed color.
"Do you have any idea?" Dongfangze said solemnly.
Yang Xuan smiled as bright as a flower, walked to Su Li, looked at the small piece of Ruyi Brocade fabric in her hand, and said loudly: "I am not sure whether there is ice dew on this piece of fabric, but I have a Plant the medicine and combine it with ice dew to reveal its properties."
"Now let's use this as a verification. If there is really ice and dew on it, the fabric will appear dark red. If not, it will not change color." After saying that, Yang Xuan took out a small porcelain bottle from her arms. , pulled out the cork, and dabbed a few drops of medicinal solution onto the cloth.
Everyone couldn't help but hold their breath and stared nervously at the small piece of fabric in her palm. It seemed like a long time passed, and it seemed like it was just a moment. The piece of Ruyi brocade cloth gradually turned into a clear dark red!
All the blood drained from the Queen's face, and she couldn't help but take a few steps back! Fell to the ground.
Dongfang Zhuo was already stunned. Seeing his mother fall, he flew over and hurriedly held her in his arms. He glared at Yang Xuan and shouted, "You don't even know what the medicine in your hand is. How can you be sure?"
Yang Xuan's face darkened, and she sneered: "King Jing'an, it's very easy to prove the truth of this matter. There must be ice dew and spices in the palace. Find it and give it a try!"
Her categorical refutation immediately left Dongfang Zhuo speechless. Yangxuan and the Queen had no grievances, so naturally they would not be innocent. She must be confident that she was willing to testify in public. He was extremely anxious, but there was nothing he could do for a moment.
"Father!" Dongfang Ze's face was cold, and he immediately stepped forward and said: "Now the evidence is conclusive, Gu Yuantong is the person who harmed the son, Chen, mother and concubine. Please ask the father to order her to be captured and brought to justice!"
The emperor slowly stepped down from the throne, walked straight to the queen, and said gloomily: "Gu Yuantong, I really mistrusted you!" Before he finished speaking, he suddenly flew up and kicked the queen directly in the heart!
Dongfang Zhuo was shocked and pale. In a hurry, he threw the queen to the ground. Before he could get up again, the kick was hitting him hard in the back.
! A sweet and fishy smell immediately surged up in his throat, and bright red blood slowly flowed from his lips.
The queen screamed: "Zhuo'er! Zhuo'er!" Seeing Dongfang Zhuo's pale face, she felt heartbroken and turned around suddenly, "Dongfang Tuo! You are still not a human being! You don't even let your own son go!" she said angrily In a very rude manner, he actually called the emperor by his first name.
The emperor's eyes flashed with anger, and he said sinisterly: "I think you are impatient with life!" These words were almost squeezed out from the gaps between his teeth.
"Yes! You have long disliked our mother and son!" At this point, the queen had no scruples. She sat up straight, with angry flames burning in her eyes, and said in a hateful voice: "In your heart, how can I be with you?" Zhuo'er's half-point position, don't say you love that bitch Liang Zhirou, you don't love anyone, no one! The only one you love most is yourself!"
The queen who had lost her mind could no longer find any dignity or elegance in her body. At this moment, she looked more like a madman than Concubine Yun.
The officials who usually support the queen's party stood in the hall, bowing their heads in silence. They could feel the emperor's anger without raising their heads. Anyone who rushed to support him now would definitely be cannon fodder!
The emperor's eyes became more and more stern. He nodded with a sneer and shouted: "Come here! Remove the name of Queen Gu Yuantong and throw her into a secret prison immediately!"
Dongfang Zhuo was horrified and shouted hurriedly: "Father, please calm down! This matter needs further verification before we can make a decision... "
"Shut up!" the emperor said angrily: "The evidence is conclusive, what else to check? Concubine Yun and Tian Yong, both witnesses and physical evidence are there. Gu Yuantong's crime is unforgivable. He should be taken into custody immediately and handed over to the Ministry of Punishments for execution!"
As soon as these words came out, all the blood drained from Gu Yuantong's face, and everyone in the hall lowered their heads in inexplicable fear. The empress of Muyi Tianxia was handed over to the Ministry of Punishment for execution. It was obvious that the emperor had treated her as a criminal with heinous crimes!
Dongfang Zhuo had never been so frightened in his heart. Seeing that the guards outside the palace had come forward to take someone away, he didn't care about offending Long Wei, stood up and shouted: "Who dares to touch my queen mother?"
"Prince Jing'an!" A voice shouted. Su Li raised his eyes and saw the solemn eyes of the Regent Li Fengxian, and his heart immediately felt filled with emotion. The father has always been extremely loyal to the queen and his son. Now that he sees the queen being deposed, he is afraid that he will get further and further away from her.
Dongfang Zhuo was stunned for a moment. Li Fengxian had already taken a step forward and grabbed his arms that were about to move. "My lord, think twice! You must not ignore the sacred mandate!"
He spoke sincerely, and Dongfang Zhuo couldn't help but blush. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Gu Yuantong standing up with support, arranging the slightly messy hair on the temples with trembling fingers, and glanced at him, "Zhuo'er, Queen Mother Today, it is your own fault
. Remember, don't trust the people around you, especially... the people you care about most. "She looked at Su Li with resentful eyes, then turned around and walked away with her head held high.
"Mother!" Dongfang Zhuo shouted, tears finally bursting out of his eyes!
Several days had passed, and the thrilling confrontation in the Jinluan Palace still appeared in Su Li's mind from time to time. Both cases have complete witnesses and material evidence, and no matter how much the Queen tries to quibble, she has no room for maneuver. The emperor was furious because of this, and immediately issued an order to reduce his position, demote him to a commoner, and put him in a secret prison to await his fate. The queen was escorted down the hall by the guards amid shrill and angry shouts. Su Li turned around and saw Dongfang Zhuo's frightened and angry eyes. The pain and despair in those eyes surrounded her heart for a long time and could not dissipate.
Su Li and Dongfangze teamed up to set up a trap, and they did not hesitate to commit the crime of deceiving the emperor. The emperor was still angry and wanted to punish him severely. Dongfangze and Su Xiang fought tooth and nail to protect him. Half of the people in the court tried to persuade him, even the regent Li Fengxian , also asked for mercy. The emperor knew that public sentiment was hard to offend, and Su Li's fate was astonishing, so convicting him might be detrimental to the general situation. So she was punished with a small punishment but a big commandment, and she was ordered to go to Foguang Temple to copy scriptures for one month as a punishment.
On this day, at dawn, Su Li took Mo Xiang and Wan Xin out of the gate. No one was seen seeing them off in front of the princess's mansion. The emperor has an order, who dares to disobey it? She couldn't help but sigh softly. It can be seen that no matter how much glory and prosperity, the world is only tied to the supreme person. No wonder so many people throughout the ages have devoted their whole lives to the supreme power, even to the point of disowning their relatives and resorting to any means. The Queen is like this, I'm afraid... the person who is truly qualified to compete for this power will be like this even more.
Su Li's eyes dimmed suddenly, and he stepped forward and said softly: "Princess Zhaohua came to the palace early in the morning because of something to do. She left a message saying that she wishes you a safe trip, Miss, and a speedy return."
Su Li smiled lightly and said: "She does have good intentions. She deserves a lot of credit for successfully overthrowing the Queen this time. Maybe I thought of her wrongly."
He pulled her onto the carriage and said, "Miss, don't think too much. It's only been a month since I went to Foguang Temple. It happens to be quiet and peaceful, so you can practice your martial arts with peace of mind."
The carriage left the city all the way, leaving a long dark shadow in the thin morning light.
After leaving the city gate and entering the official road, the carriage moved faster and faster, and the trees on both sides passed by like streams of light, like phantoms. Su Li gradually became calmer. After traveling for a mile, two big horses suddenly appeared in front of them, blocking the way. One of them is Wu Ya, a good horse with a majestic appearance.
