Chapter 124 Strong Evidence (Monthly Pass 100+ plus more)

Because of the Nianyu incident, the full moon banquet ended in a hurry, and Emperor Zhenghe arranged things and went to Changchun Palace.

As soon as he entered the door, Xiao Mingqing rushed over and cried, "Father! The palm prints must not be the remnants of the Lian family! Someone wants to kill him!"

Zheng Hedi appeased and patted her on the shoulder, but did not answer, and asked, "Where is your mother and concubine?"

"The concubine mother is sleeping with the younger brother. The younger brother has just eaten milk and fell asleep. The concubine mother has been busy all day today and is tired, so she also sleeps together."

Emperor Zhenghe was surprised, he knew better than anyone else how much the imperial concubine Jiufang valued Nianyu, so he could sleep at this time?

He swung Xiao Mingqing back, entered the inner room, and found that the imperial concubine Jiufang had really fallen asleep, and slept soundly!Even the breath is sweet and milky!
Ever since the little prince was born, the milky fragrance that fascinated and obsessed him on this little woman has become stronger and more pleasant.

Emperor Zhenghe originally came to Xingshi to inquire about his crimes, but at this moment he suddenly became interested, and ordered someone to take the little prince away, and went into the tent to take off the clothes of the imperial concubine Jiufang.

Counting it, he hadn't touched her for almost a year, and he couldn't hold back his sudden interest, because he couldn't care less about day and night.

Concubine Jiufang woke up in a daze, and pushed him impatiently, "I just fell asleep!"

Zhenghedi laughed, "Nianyu is in jail, can you still sleep?"

The noble concubine of Jiufang curled her lips, "You say he is the remnant of the Lian family? Who would believe it? He is the remnant of the Lian family and yet he is so dedicated to treating the emperor?

Someone must have killed him!After the emperor found out the truth, wouldn't he come back?Why can't I sleep? "

Zheng Hedi was still smiling, but his eyes were dark and deep, "Then what if he really is?"

"impossible!"

"I mean if".

The imperial concubine Jiufang threw herself into his arms and found a comfortable position, "If he is really a remnant of the Lian family, a traitor who wants to kill the emperor, then he should be cut into pieces! I can't sleep because of him, why? Didn't he become an accomplice of the anti-thieves?"

Zhenghe Di laughed, "You can figure it out."

Concubine Jiufang pressed his hand and buried her face in his arms, "Don't move, it's still daytime, I don't want to be a demon concubine who will harm the country, I'm so sleepy, sleep with me for a while."

After Zheng Hedi got a satisfactory answer, he was in a good mood, and his thoughts were even more difficult to suppress.

Women, who say no, who don't want to think about his favor?

He laughed, and tore open the little clothes of the noble concubine Jiufang, "Today I have to make Aifei a evil concubine who will bring disaster to the country!"

With so many women in the harem, this little woman really suits him best.

Although those beautiful women who have just entered the palace are fresh and tender, compared with her, they are always a bit less flavorful...

……

……

After leaving the palace, Hua Pingle followed Huo Yanzhi directly to Fuguang Palace.

During the New Year's Eve, Hua Pingle asked Huo Yanzhi to pay attention not to let Xu Mao stay in the capital, and Huo Yanzhi handed over the matter to Jiufangfeng.

After Jiu Fangfeng learned of Xu Mao's identity, he used some tricks to transfer him to Qingyang County not far from the northwest.

Northwest is the place where Huo Yanzhi has been operating for several years and has made great achievements. Their control over the northwest is far stronger than Huo Yanzhi's fief, Fuguang.

He has always done things properly, and seeing that Hua Pingle was quite protective of Lian Xiqing, he deliberately put a maid beside Lian Xiqing.

Today, Hua Pingle sent word from the palace, and soon, the news from there also came.

It was the second day after Xu Mao left that the maid found out that something was wrong and sent a message.

The message was delayed for two days for some reason, but it arrived in the capital together with the message she sent two days later——

On the third day after Xu Mao left Qingyang, Lian Xiqing and Xu Liancheng were sent to the capital by Xu Mao, and they were already on their way.

"For this kind of thing, only Xu Mao's words can't be used to determine the crime of the palm print, and it's best to use the blood of the Lian family to identify it.

The people behind the scenes arranged for Xu Mao to take the lead first, and then used Mrs. Xu to give Nian a fatal blow—"

Jiu Fangfeng tapped her palm with her fan, and sighed, "The most important thing is to keep this confidential matter from Nian Yu's eyes and ears, Xu Mao will definitely not tell Mrs. Xu.

I have asked that maid to disclose the affairs of the capital to Mrs. Xu, but I don't know how Mrs. Xu will choose.

Tsk tsk, what kind of bad luck happened to Nian's palm print, with such a relative? "

Hua Pingle frowned, what Lian Xiqing said was actually not important anymore.

Emperor Zhenghe has always been suspicious and deeply jealous of Huo Yanzhi. When encountering such a thing, he would definitely rather kill him by mistake than let him go.

What's more, Nian Yu has been in a high position for a long time and has been serving him personally?

For him, it is extremely dangerous.

Jiu Fangfeng put a folding fan against his forehead, "Second Miss, please forgive me, no matter whether Nian's palm print is a remnant of the Lian family or not, it's better to be still than to move at this time, Second Miss, please be patient."

It is better to be still than to move, and she also knows that it is better to be still than to move, but how can she do nothing while watching her cousin locked up in such a dark place...

……

……

In the simple inn, the thin maid crawled into Lian Xiqing's bed like a dexterous cat, and shook her gently, "Madam, wake up, wake up".

Lian Xiqing woke up startled, and was about to speak, but the maid covered her mouth and hissed.

Lian Xiqing's heart almost jumped in her throat. It's not surprising that Xu Mao dug up the so-called "auspiciousness" and went to Beijing to offer treasures. What's strange is that he actually asked her to take Brother Cheng to the capital.

Although she didn't know what he was going to do, she always had an ominous premonition in her heart.

This ominous premonition reached its peak at this moment when she was awakened by the maid in the middle of the night, making her heart almost jump into the palm of the maid's hand covering her.

"Ma'am, I have something important to tell you, please keep quiet."

Lian Xiqing nodded, she picked up this maid on the way from Beijing to Qingyang.

By chance, she discovered that she knew martial arts, and when pressed, the maid took out a token from Prince Fuguang's mansion.

From then on, she raised her as a personal servant girl.

The servant girl whispered what Xu Mao had done in the capital, and finally said, "Ma'am, this servant guessed that the reason why the lord asked you to go to the capital with the young master is to let you identify the handprint of Nian as your cousin Lian Yanqing, the governor of the town. It's not a good place to go, Madam, you should prepare early."

In the darkness, Lian Xiqing seemed to have become a stone sculpture. It took a long time before he came back to his senses and asked in a hoarse voice, "Nian's palm print, he, is he really Brother Yan?"

Because of the phrase "Lian's family can't keep it", Lian Yanqing didn't choose his name next to the words of his brothers and sisters, and there was no preface, so everyone called him Ayan.

She was younger than him, so she called him Sister Yan like a family friend.

It wasn't until Huo Ying returned to Beijing and he went on a trip that she realized that her sister Yan had always been Brother Yan——

"This, the servants don't know, ma'am, it's still early, you can sleep for a while."

The maid went back to her feet and lay down again, Lian Xiqing opened her eyes and stared at the pitch-black roof, gently stroking her shoulder with her left hand.

There, there is her mark of Lien's family.

If the Nian's palm print is really her brother Yan, then there should be an identical mark on his shoulder.

This is the best and most powerful evidence to judge whether he is a direct descendant of the Lian family.

Xu Mao must have had the same idea.

The imprint once proud of the Lian family's children may become a reminder for the only surviving male in the Lian family.

Then should she keep it, and how can she not arouse suspicion after removing it...

……

……

It is better to be still than to move. It seems that everyone in the capital wants to understand this truth.

During the three days of waiting for Lian Xiqing to enter the capital, the capital was exceptionally peaceful, so peaceful that it was almost suffocating.

In this stagnant calm, Lian Xiqing brought Xu Liancheng to the capital, and was immediately brought into the Zhen Fu Division by Jin Yiwei.

Early the next morning, Nian Yu and others were escorted by Jin Yiwei to the lobby of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, where they were interrogated by the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Dali Temple, and Yushitai.

During the reign of Prince Xiao Ming, Mr. Meng was the chief assistant, and Su Xianyu attended and supervised.

The Ministry of Criminal Justice is the home court, and Cheng Shangshu of the Ministry of Criminal Justice is naturally the presiding judge. Seeing that everyone has arrived, he is about to announce the opening of the trial, when Huo Yanzhi enters the room with Jiufang Fengtang, and orders concisely, "Bring two more chairs." .

Xiao Mingshi immediately said, "Uncle Emperor, Father Emperor did not allow Uncle Emperor to hear the trial."

"The emperor did not refuse the king to hear the trial."

Huo Yanzhi said and looked at Cheng Shangshu, "What? This king has entered the Ministry of Punishment, and Cheng Shangshu doesn't even hold a chair?"

How could Cheng Shangshu dare to offend him, he hurriedly ordered someone to move the chair, and asked when he looked at Xiao Ming, "Your Highness, look?"

Huo Yanzhi nodded to the little eunuch behind Xiao Mingshi, "Go and ask the emperor if you allow me to attend."

Huo Yanzhi's expression was calm, not angry but mighty, the little eunuch obeyed subconsciously and left without even thinking of asking Xiao Mingshi's opinion.

Xiao Mingshi's face turned blue, he wanted to stop him, but he knew he stopped, he still had to send someone to ask, it was even more embarrassing, so he had to hold back his tone.

Cheng Shangshu coughed, "Your Highness, should we wait, or—"

Xiao Mingshi flicked his sleeves, "What are you waiting for? If you delay the case, you are responsible?"

But he took his anger out on Cheng Shangshu.

Cheng Shangshu didn't think he was disobedient, he smiled and asked Huo Yanzhi and Jiu Fangfeng to sit down, and scolded the attendant, "Why don't you give me a chair for the palm print? I don't have any eyesight!"

Xiao Ming wanted to say that Nian Yu was a suspect, how could he have the right to sit down, so he endured it again.

It's just a chair, and he, the prince of a country, cares about these details, but it makes people look down on it!

After finally waiting for a few people to sit firmly, Cheng Shangshu gave orders to start.

Wen Chu presented the case with a booklet, and presented Xu Mao's testimony and the inventory of Lian's family searched by Gray. It clearly recorded that the Lian family had a daughter who was raised in the nunnery, and her whereabouts could not be traced.

Lian Yanqing was raised in the nunnery until he was 17 years old, and then traveled abroad. He was not a family friend, and few people knew that he was originally a boy.

When Gray first found out this place, he thought it was just a girl, even if he tracked her down, she would have married a woman long ago, considered a married woman, not one of the three clans, so she didn't continue her investigation.

Nian Yu smiled lazily when he heard this, "Just relying on two people who you don't know where you found, coupled with the illusory evidence, you want to convict me? Is this what you three are capable of?"

Cheng Shangshu coughed and asked, "Master Xu, you said you have evidence to present in court, where is it?"

Xu Mao shook his sleeves and pointed at Lian Xiqing, "It's Jiannei's body! Lian's Linhai family, in order to seek the protection of the sea god, their descendants will have the sea god Yujiang's mount double-headed dragon tattooed on their shoulders when they were born.

The technique is passed down from the Lien family, and no one else can imitate it, the men are on the left shoulder, the women are on the right shoulder, just ask them to take off their clothes for a look.”

Nian Yu sneered, "Tsk tsk, I already knew that you are not a good thing, but I didn't expect you to be a bad thing at all! The wife who is married by Ming Media just opened her mouth and asked her to take off her clothes, tsk tsk!"

Xu Mao was agitated for a moment, and spoke in a hurry, but when Nian Yu caught the conversation, he blushed immediately, "I will draw the decorations on the shoulders of the cheap.

Please ask Master Shangshu to order the servant girl to check it, how can it be like you said, like—”

Nian Yu clicked his tongue again, "A beast is still a beast after explaining it. Although I am not a good person, I hate beasts the most. Today I will make an exception and be a good person."

As he spoke, he tore off his clothes, exposing his entire left shoulder, but it was as white as jade, not to mention decorations, not even a red spot.

"Do you want to look at the right side as well, so that you don't have to worry about what I was raised as a girl, and the tattoo is also on the right side."

As he spoke, he tore off the clothes on his right shoulder, and it was still white, nothing.

Xu Mao was stunned, shaking his head again and again, "Impossible, impossible! How is it possible? I've asked, I've asked—"

He was on good terms with Lian Yanqing's direct brother back then, and when he heard about Lian Yanqing being raised as a girl, he became nervous for a moment and asked whether Lian Yanqing's double-headed dragon was tattooed on his left or right shoulder.

The other party clearly told him that it was tattooed on his left shoulder, why not?How can it be?

impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
He must have covered it with something!

Thinking of this, Xu Mao's red eyes gleamed fiercely, and he rushed towards Nian Yu!
He wants to see what method he used to cover up that mark!

His road to promotion and wealth depends on that mark to pave the way!

How can he cover it!
As soon as he moved, he suddenly felt a huge force hitting his forehead heavily, causing him to back up again and again, and fell to the ground with his buttocks. Almost at the same time, there was a clear and crisp porcelain shattering sound.

He looked subconsciously, and saw a cup lid shattered in two by his side.

Su Xianyu picked up the teacup and said in a calm tone, "My lord is very skilled."

Jiu Fangfeng grinned, "How can animals be allowed to run wild in the court? Cheng Shangshu, please remember to invite our prince to drink someday."

Cheng Shangshu laughed dryly, "Definitely."

He also ordered, "Come here, take Mr. Xu to bandage the wound."

Only then did Xu Mao feel the pain belatedly, and raised his hand to touch his forehead.

Unexpectedly, this touch touched hands full of blood, and she couldn't help but look at Huo Yanzhi with resentment, but when she met Huo Yanzhi's cold gaze, she trembled in fright and lowered her head.

The yamen servant hurriedly stepped forward to help him go to the back hall to bandage, Su Xianyu stood up holding the teacup, "I guess just now Master Xu must have wanted to carefully confirm whether the shoulder of the palm print was covered with any medicine.

To prove his innocence, why not take off his clothes and let us take a closer look at the palm print? "

Nian Yu glanced at him with a cold look in his eyes, but still cooperated with taking off his coat, and pulled his middle coat off his shoulders, and said mockingly, "What do you think Su Shangshu wants?"

Su Xianyu stretched out his right hand and rubbed it on his shoulder leisurely.

Following his movements, a very faint fragrance of flowers spread into his nostrils.

Nianyu is very familiar with this flower fragrance, and it is often used for chronically ill people to strengthen the efficacy of the medicine.

Is Su Xianyu still ill?

Or was he afraid that the medicine he used to cover up the imprint would not be effective enough, so he deliberately added a layer?
Thinking of this, Nian Yu couldn't help snorting, Su Xianyu would be so kind?
"Has Su Shangshu touched enough? Does it feel good?"

Su Xianyu glanced at him, then suddenly raised her hand and poured the whole cup of hot tea on his shoulder!

Nian Yu's snow-white shoulders suddenly turned red, and he gasped.

Su Xianyu was unmoved, and rubbed the skin on his shoulder vigorously. Seeing that nothing came out, he did the same to his right shoulder. Then he returned to his seat and sat down, and poured himself a cup of tea leisurely.
