Of course Yun Fenghuang had the leisure to chase after him fiercely.
Anyway, in this temple today, there are basically no people who are really on her side.
The Wei father and his son encouraged Gu Jiashu to come forward, but that was only after her euphemistic threats.
As for Chen Jian, she had vaguely heard of him. He seemed to be a new scholar who was admitted to the imperial examination with Xie Wu Zheng at the beginning of the year. He ranked quite high. After winning the examination, he entered the Yushitai... He could not be said to be from Chunjia.
Chunjia's people might help her, but they are definitely not hers.
It can be said that she is now in a situation where everyone in the court is the enemy... so what is there to be afraid of!
Not only did she insist on Lu Chuncao, she also satirized Princess Minghui: "Just now, Her Royal Highness the Princess kept saying that I am plotting to kill you, and all the ministers agreed. At this time, I would like to ask the former Qingping Marquis clearly , everyone shouldn’t object, right?”
"After all, although I am not as valuable as Xiaozong, I am a canonized royal concubine, one of the four concubines!"
"The former Qingping Marquis now has neither title nor official status. He is just a white eunuch."
"I don't know if I am qualified to confront him?"
Of course, these words were unpleasant to the ears of the ministers, but it was really hard for them to side with Lu Chuncao.
One is that because of their status as regents, Lu Chuncao is unlikely to receive the universal support and protection from courtiers like Princess Minghui; the second is that Lu Chuncao is a eunuch.
Scholars have always looked down upon eunuchs. When this man was granted the title of Marquis, how many people were hysterically opposed... They studied hard for many years, passed the county examination step by step, and passed five tests and killed six generals before they were named on the gold list. See all the wanton flowers in Chang'an.
After that, he entered the officialdom, walking on thin ice with every step he took. He spent most of his life fighting against his peers and bullying his superiors. There might not be a chance of being knighted at the end of the day. How could an eunuch rely on his little effort in serving the emperor? , actually got the title of Marquis? !
They were unwilling, they were jealous, they were crazy, they opposed, but in the end they could not stop Xiaozong.
But Lu Chuncao could not be stopped from becoming the Qingping Marquis, but the resentment did not dissipate.
So far, many scholars in the world still have nothing good to say about Lu Chuncao, thinking that this was the biggest failure in the life of the late emperor Xiaozong, who was pure, filial, self-denying, simple, generous and kind.
It simply brought down Xiaozong’s legacy.
At this moment, how could the officials present stand up and speak for Lu Chuncao
While the ministers were silent, Lu Chuncao, who was dressed in common people's uniform, walked slowly up to the hall. After bowing, he saluted Yun Fenghuang calmly and called him "caomin" with a very relaxed attitude: "I dare to pledge my head on my neck. From now on." I have never attempted to kill a virtuous concubine."
"Who is willing to admit that he has done such a thing?" Yun Fenghuang said coldly, "You have served common people Ji Sheng and His Majesty the late Emperor Xiaozong, and you are also the adoptive father of Lu Chongyi and Lu Jifei. If the evidence is not conclusive, I will not I won't find you... Imperial City Division, where is the evidence?"
Sun Yu glanced at Danqi Shang and saw Chunjia nodding slightly. He went out and gave a few orders, and someone came up with a box. It was full of everything, from oral confessions to physical evidence.
These evidences were made by veterans of the Imperial City Department, and Chunjia personally checked them. Naturally, they were not like the way Princess Minghui testified against Yun Fenghuang. Experienced people could see the flaws after a second glance.
However, Lu Chuncao was worthy of being valued by the Xiaozong brothers as an eunuch. He was still keenly aware that Sun Yu was not very sure about Liuhong's details, so he seized on this and asked all the way, forcing Sun Yu to admit that he actually It is unclear whether Liu Hong was born in Ziye Hall.
"This is the key." Lu Chuncao said, "If Liu Hong was indeed born in Ziyetang, then she did have the opportunity and ability to poison the Concubine Xian and murder the Concubine Xian by spending a little time helping the Qing people organize the tea sets in the corridor; but If she wasn't, that scene was just a coincidence. Or even a designed coincidence!"
Sun Yu glanced at Yun Fenghuang and said: "But everyone else has investigated thoroughly, and there is no chance. Moreover, the roster recording Liu Hong's experience after entering the Imperial City Division is also very strange. It may not be someone deliberately doing it. Conceal it. If she was just an ordinary palace servant, who would put such effort into entering the Imperial City Department to destroy the credentials?"
Lu Chuncao said with a half-smile but not a smile: "I have to ask Master Sun, aren't you the head of the Imperial City Department? How can others know about things that you don't know about? And if you say that others don't have a chance, I'm afraid that's not true, right? For example It was said that the palace maid Kiyoto served tea to the empress Xian Fei. She passed by the corridor with tea... Liuhong only briefly touched the tea set when they met her. Before and after that, she had been alone with the tea. , how many opportunities are available?"
"The Qing Dynasty is a son of the concubine Xian's biological mother. How could he murder the concubine Xian?"
"Isn't it possible that the maid serving tea fruits in front of Her Royal Highness the Princess has recently passed away, and didn't she also kill Her Majesty the Princess?" Lu Chuncao asked back, "The same rice feeds all kinds of people, and they are all slaves. They are treated like masters, and some are loyal. Geng Geng, isn’t it human nature to eat someone inside and outside?”
Sun Yu frowned and said: "It's not just that. The Concubine Xian was dying at that time. Naturally, we investigated thoroughly and did not let go of any possibility... The Qingren girl is indeed innocent."
Lu Chuncao narrowed his eyes: "Are you sure?"
"The Imperial City Department has its own way to make sure." Sun Yu said calmly, "As for the way, you don't need to worry about it."
"The Imperial City Division's own method is to assume that Liu Hong is from Ziyetang and has extraordinary skills when he is not sure about Liu Hong's background and cannot find any other real culprits?" Lu Chuncao laughed and said, " With all due respect, this method is not very clever."
Yun Fenghuang secretly scolded Sun Yu for being a waste, and said: "The Liuhong people are gone, and their records cannot be tested. Maybe she was from Ziye Hall, maybe not. No matter what, she is from the Imperial City Division. And the world How many people are so big that they can instruct the Imperial City Division to do things? Who are you doubting when you question this?"
Lu Chuncao said calmly: "The common people dare not doubt anyone, but what good can it do if the common people murder the empress? Although the common people have a daughter in the palace to serve as a bride, they have never been a match for the empress. Even if the seat of the wise concubine is vacant. After she came out, it wasn't her turn to do it. What's more, this daughter herself was guilty and had too much time to take care of herself. Where did she find the energy to covet the empress's status? It is precisely because of this daughter's current situation, how can ordinary people dare to offend the empress like this now? Beloved concubine?"
"Don't you dare to offend me?" Yun Fenghuang smiled disdainfully and said, "The daughter you taught dares to delay the marriage of the legitimate son of Concubine Yuan, the Regent, let alone a concubine from a humble background like me? Isn't it obvious that there are any benefits to be gained from murdering me? Although I am humble, I have a pair of young daughters. Once something happens to me, they will naturally choose another mother and concubine to place them. I wonder who moved this In your mind, are you thinking about leaving your mother and leaving your son? Afterwards, wouldn't it be good for you to intercede for your Chongyi daughter in exchange for her life, sacrificing my own one, and make you proud?"
Hearing that Lu Chuncao had not done anything, Luo Hanyi, Meng Youyi, Yinxuan and other concubine's parents' father and brothers looked a little bad.
Is this referring to Sang scolding Huai or is it an obvious frame-up and blackmail
Before Yun Fenghuang finished speaking, "As for what Lu Chongyi did, anyone with a bit of conscience or shame would have done it by himself! But she is still living well, as if nothing happened, which shows that she has no shame! So why is it so strange to incite you, my adopted father, to murder me and divide my children?"
"The empress is joking." Lu Chuncao muttered, "The eldest daughter of Cao Min did not intentionally delay the regent's son's marriage, but the matter was serious and required Chen Guang to arrange it carefully. As for the second daughter, she was wrongly accused and now committed suicide. , wouldn’t it be said that she was convicted of murdering the emperor’s heirs and concubines? So despite being full of grievances, the second daughter still managed to survive until today... The empress’s words are too chilling! After all, when Her Royal Highness the eldest princess doubted you just now, Even though you committed suicide, you are still alive now, aren't you?"
My son Lu Qidao was accused of using three corpse insects to murder the Sixth Palace. There is certain evidence. But Concubine Xian, you yourself were questioned by the eldest princess, isn't it the same
Shouldn't we have sympathy for each other
... Yun Fenghuang didn't feel sympathy for the same people, but rather wanted to kill each other. She raised her eyebrows slightly, and was about to question her, but she didn't say anything. Suddenly, she saw a sweaty little waiter come in from the side door, and trotted to the bank of Danchi. Show your hands and feet to Yan Yin.
Seeing this, Yan Yin hurriedly came down and whispered a few words to him. His expression changed, and he hurriedly walked up to Chun Jia, bowed and said a few words in a low voice.
The people below saw the emperor's crown slightly shaking, and immediately Chunjia stood up directly and said briefly: "The Holy Mother and the Queen Mother are suddenly seriously ill and are almost dying... I must go to visit immediately. Today's court meeting has been dismissed for the time being, and all other matters will be dealt with later. Reconsideration!"
After saying this, he didn't care about everyone's reaction. He didn't even care about Yun Fenghuang and just walked away!
Everyone looked at each other for a moment, then dispersed in twos and threes.
Among them, Duke Yi looked at Yun Fenghuang hesitantly, as if he wanted to say a few soft words to her, but Yun Fenghuang didn't even look at him, and turned away with a sullen face.
She returned to the Huanhua Palace with an expressionless face, and asked the palace servants to take the eldest prince, Princess Zhaoqing, and two nieces to a place far away from the main hall for the time being. She also explained to the people below and thought about it. There was nothing missing, so I walked into the inner hall alone and cried loudly!
She was not crying about the injustice she had just suffered in the temple, nor was she crying that Chunjia had not stepped forward to protect her, nor was she crying that he later abandoned her and left alone... She was simply crying about her own powerlessness.
This made her feel more angry and panicked than anything else.
After Xie Fenghuan's accident, Yun Fenghuang realized deeply that her family could not protect her from the wind and rain at all times, and people who were in love could not hold her hand tightly under any circumstances. Therefore, she understood that life In this world, you still have to rely on yourself after all.
Whether it was the long-sleeved dance skills when he arrived at the imperial capital, or the ease with which he was promoted to the throne after entering the palace, Yun Fenghuang felt that there was nothing to fault.
She tried her best and achieved certain results.
But you see, the world is so unfair.
She had never seduced Yun Qike, and she didn't even dare to think about it... It's just that Yun Qingman accidentally let it slip, and Xiao Han felt uncomfortable. In this way, her life was involved in the undercurrent of the palace; she finally managed to stand out in this palace, and the eldest princess, whose biological mother was forced to self-immolate because of her heinous crimes, could still make her with evidence that everyone knew to be fabricated. In an instant, he stood on the opposite side of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.
There are always some people in this world who are born noble and have everything going their way.
It seems that they are born to trample everyone else under their feet, along with their lifelong efforts and struggles, as well as all their treasures and preciousness.
Never be able to stand up again.
Such a setback is unforgettable, but how many times has she suffered it
Will it happen again in the future
If all her efforts and all-out efforts are still weak...then what's the point of all her efforts
It’s better to go out and have a good time!
Thinking of this, Yun Fenghuang's cries gradually subsided, his brows filled with anger, and he was turning one plan after another in his mind, when a timid knock on the door came from outside.
She stopped sobbing for a moment, forced herself to calm down, and asked sternly: "Who?! Didn't I say not to disturb you!"
