Chunjia asked, but before Princess Minghui could speak, some ministers were already worried that she would get a bad name from Luodong if she gave the wrong answer, so they spoke first: "Your Majesty, the princess in the east of the palace is the flesh and blood of the late emperor. She has always been virtuous, virtuous, chaste, quiet and courteous." , how could he do such an unethical and illegal act? There must be some misunderstanding there! As we all know, the eldest princess Diandong has been ill since the summer vacation and has not recovered until tomorrow. She couldn't see things for a while, so where did she have the energy to do it? Planning to poison the virtuous concubine?"
In that case, it would be better to teach Princess Minghui directly. If she didn't do it, she would just blame the servant.
"..." Princess Minghui was silent for a while. She thanked the minister in a hoarse voice, and then slowly said, "The poisoning of Concubine Xian is indeed not the fault of this palace."
The temple was temporarily silent, and then went into an uproar.
Yun Fenghuang raised his eyebrows slightly.
Although the eldest princess has always lived in the east of Ji Sheng's wings and has not had much opportunity for experience, she is from the royal family after all, so the minister's reminder must not be ignored, otherwise why bother to thank him? They all want to plead guilty to poisoning the palace concubine, so...
Her heart moved, and she heard the eldest princess continue slowly, "The virtuous concubine is the emperor's favorite, although she is not a serious sister-in-law of this palace. She originally wanted to see the owner when she beat the dog. Even if she offended me, I still can't." You shouldn’t be cheating on someone else…”
At this point, someone naturally answered: "Is it possible that the Concubine Xian did something so outrageous that the Princess Royal Palace cannot tolerate it?"
"But even if the virtue of the virtuous concubine is faulty, there are still the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager in the harem, and the eldest princess can also be reported to His Majesty for disposal. Why bother to do it yourself and ruin the royal dignity in vain?"
Princess Minghui said hoarsely: "But what if she poisoned me first? One retaliation after another, she poisoned me, causing me to be close to death, and I also tried to scare her, what's the point? Question? If I really want to take her life, do you really think that Xiaoyun's Jiren has his own destiny, drank so much Hedinghongdong without saying anything about it, and is still alive and kicking so quickly?! "
"Then..." The ministers didn't know what to say for a moment.
Although in Chunjia's mind, Minghui is definitely not as important as Yun Fenghuang.
But in the eyes of the courtiers, Princess Minghui, as the flesh and blood of the late emperor, has a status that is not comparable to that of a mere concubine... Not to mention that Yun Fenghuang's knees can raise a pair of children. To put it bluntly, even if she is not old enough, The prince's biological mother must not have Minghui Zhongqiu. Moreover, Chunjia himself had to make that gesture. Who told him not to be Xiaozong's son, but to be his heir
Therefore, Princess Minghui personally took revenge on Yun Fenghuang without going through her elders or the emperor. Although it was unreasonable, the courtiers really couldn't say anything to blame her.
Someone even asked Chunjia directly: "Your Majesty, did your Majesty know that the unknown eldest princess was murdered by the wise concubine?"
It sounds like I'm asking Chunjia if you know it, but actually it's better to ask Chunjia whether that matter was not authorized by you? !
Moreover, someone spoke to Ma Zai and said, "This is unheard of. Is there any misunderstanding?"
"What is the identity of the eldest princess? If you don't like the virtuous concubine, please tell your Majesty. Your Majesty will probably be a woman who is harsh on the nobles and nobles."
"When did Minghui be poisoned?" There was a lot of discussion in the temple in the east. The emperor frowned slightly in Chunjia and said gently, "Why have I never received the report? When I was ill before, I went to visit from time to time, and I also sent my attendants. Greetings, but I was always blocked by your Majesty, saying that I suddenly suffered from a serious illness, but did not mention poisoning, otherwise why can’t I investigate thoroughly and give me an explanation?!”
Princess Minghui said calmly: "At that time, the imperial grandmother and mother were both in poor health. After all, they had rested in the palace for many months a year earlier. They came back to the palace after the palace collapsed, but they didn't know about the emperor's heart. Do you remember?"
Seeing Chunjia nodding, she continued, "So my mother didn't realize that he was not ill, but poisoned! He was already a little ill at that time, and he misunderstood it first, so when he described it to the imperial doctor, After bringing in some opinions, the imperial doctor believed them to be true, which led to the misdiagnosis. A few months ago, the incident of the three corpse worms was brought to the palace. The imperial doctor was inspired, took the pulse again, and inquired carefully, and then discovered the clues. He was very shocked at the time. After all, he was a female prostitute, growing up in the palace, who could be in the eyes? Please tell me how he behaves in ordinary life. Although he is not as humble and sensible as his two sisters, he thinks he is not hateful... So, is it true? Who is harming him?"
"My mother had not been abandoned at that time, and there were naturally some human legs in her legs. I was afraid that the emperor's grandmother and the emperor's brother would worry, so I didn't say anything and quietly checked."
"It turned out that a palace maid who was serving tea and fruits to him in Su Yue at the palace had a close relationship with Cai, the concubine of Ranxiang Palace."
"As for Ms. Cai, her life was saved by Concubine Xian when she was on summer vacation last year."
"When he got there, he couldn't believe that Concubine Xian was such a person, and he had never had any grudges with her, and she was deeply loved by the emperor's brother. He should know that the emperor's brother had always protected the three sisters, even though he was wrong about their relationship. Xi, you shouldn’t be so ruthless as Dong.”
"Can we continue to investigate eastward? All kinds of evidence indicate that Concubine Noxian means that."
"Actually, if you think about it calmly, in such a big palace, who else, other than the virtuous concubine, would have the guts to kill him by mistake?"
When the eldest princess said those words, she didn't have much emotion, her tone was very calm, and her drooping veil didn't move at all. Although her face couldn't be seen, one could imagine her quiet and elegant demeanor at the moment.
The more it doesn't, the more it brings a kind of sadness that is almost more sorrowful than death.
The old people who came over from Xiaozong showed unbearable expressions.
Chunjia didn't say anything, and Yun Fenghuang didn't refute either. Most of the courtiers' hearts were already leaning towards Minghui.
This is not a reasonable thing. The three eldest princesses are Xiaozong's flesh and blood, and they are the ones who should inherit Xiaozong's legacy. According to the laws of the country, in ordinary families, even if they are adopted heirs, most of the family property cannot be distributed to their biological daughters as dowry.
However, unlike ordinary family property, the throne can be inherited by men.
Chunjia inherited the throne, but the eldest princess was poisoned. This was no longer appropriate.
The one with the east leg was not his concubine, and she was a favored concubine, which was even more outrageous.
Although the eldest princess did not directly express her doubts about Chunjia, she first said that she was "a female prostitute" and "cannot hinder anyone's eyes", so she was saying that she could not threaten Chunjia's throne. She also said, "The good concubine is deeply favored by the emperor brother", they kept saying that even if the good concubine didn't like her, for the emperor's sake he shouldn't harm her, but it was well known to everyone that Chunjia was wrongly doted on by Yun Fenghuang. But it is true that the eldest princess’s leg was wronged by the concubine. Doesn’t that mean that the virtuous concubine is lawless? Doesn't it deny Chunjia's acquiescence or even connivance
The last sentence is even more interesting. In such a big palace, there is a Concubine Xian who has that courage... So does Concubine Xian have that courage? Who gave Concubine Xian that courage? !
Many people couldn't help but look at Chunjia. Although they didn't dare to say anything, there was already some reproach and dissatisfaction in their eyes.
Inheriting his father's throne, taking almost everything his father left to the East, yet so wronging his own daughter... This is not just a matter of being unkind, but a completely unconscionable thing!
"Of course I don't dare to question the eldest princess, but as the eldest princess said, I am grateful to the eldest princess and don't have any complaints. When I was in the palace earlier, the eldest princess was ill, and I didn't often visit her. ." Yun Fenghuang breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, saying that he was lucky to be worried and took the initiative to join in.
Otherwise, in that situation, Chunjia wouldn't even be able to say anything if he questioned, because questioning would mean that he didn't trust the eldest princess, and he would be suspected of favoring Yun Fenghuang.
Fortunately, she was present. She didn't owe Xiaozong anything. She took a step forward and said in a loud voice, "Mr. Cai, I also have some memories. The Ranxiang Palace where she is located did not have the throne last year, so during the summer vacation, When Cai became ill, there was something going on in the palace. The former queen was too busy and the palace people did not dare to disturb her, so she reported the matter to the concubine. I thought that human life was at stake, so I boldly ordered the imperial doctor to go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment... From beginning to end, I was concubine. I have never seen Mrs. Cai personally, and I have never taken this matter to heart afterward! If Mrs. Cai is obsessed with this and wants to seek repayment, wouldn't the first person to seek retribution be the palace servants she went to ask for? Two people who seek repayment should also treat the imperial physician, but how can they get the concubine?!"
"Qu Zhongqiu's concubine has never had any ill intentions against the eldest princess, let alone instigated others to poison her legs!" "
"As the palace master said, I have always been quite dignified in front of Bidong. I also raise the eldest prince and princess Zhaoqing. With my background, I can say that I have made a world of difference!"
"I'm not one of those people who don't know how to cherish blessings. Why do you seek to murder the eldest princess, who has no grudges against me?! Don't you risk your own good confinement?!"
What the eldest princess and the concubine said are reasonable, and there is certainly no evidence for that situation.
