Concubine Xian's request made the whole court whisper.
Is it true that the regent was wrong, saying that Concubine Xian was poisoned unexpectedly? What did she know? If you knew it, you would definitely have told the emperor after you woke up, right? But during that period of confinement, I didn't hear that Chunjia added any evidence, which shows that he was unaware of it. Then if she comes to the temple at that time, won't that cause chaos
The courtiers in the Chunjia camp were quite moved, because they did not trust Concubine Xian's fighting ability, and the concubine was known to be shrewd and good at fighting. How could she make such a request if she was not sure
The two sides were at loggerheads for a while, and the neutral one hesitated.
On the one hand, they did not trust Yun Fenghuang very much, and were worried that she had mistaken the eldest princess and killed Xiaozong's flesh and blood; on the other hand, they did not like the regent's approach of openly suggesting that the eldest princess was the culprit.
That group of people actually accounted for the majority at that time, including the courtiers who stood on Chunjia's side, such as Yi Guogong and Ouyang Yanran. They actually hated the regent for pulling Princess Minghui out as a shield.
Whether Princess Minghui is the real culprit or not, according to the rules of taboo for the Venerable, she should not make any open accusations.
Even if the proof is irrefutable, there is a tacit understanding that the steward should drag a steward around the princess to do such evil things in the name of the princess, and then arrange for the wise concubine to come out and have a warm and affectionate relationship with the eldest princess to show that she completely believes that the eldest princess is not guilty. If he would do something to murder himself, wouldn't he always take care of the royal family's face
So most people looked at Chunjia's face. They didn't believe Yun Fenghuang, but Chunjia didn't believe it... That doesn't mean they believed in Chunjia's promise and character, but they didn't believe that the emperor was wrong. Weighing the pros and cons.
As Xiaozong's heir, he is the most inconvenient person to be in the same blood as Xiaozong.
If the eldest princess Minghui was convicted of such a crime, even if Chunjia showed a tolerant and generous attitude at the time and didn't care about it, if the eldest princess Yuehou had any shortcomings, she would easily be suspected of secretly murdering her.
