After I was reborn, I became the white moonlight of the destitute son

Chapter 209 Can You Afford It?
The emperor was quite satisfied with Zhou Xining's argument, so he asked with great interest: "Oh? Why are you so stupid?"

"At the feet of the Son of Heaven, let alone the majesty of the Emperor, anyone who commits crimes will not escape His Majesty's sanction. How can you not be stupid?"

Isn't it stupid to act so blatantly and boldly?The royal hidden guards were not vegetarians, and the reason they found nothing was because all the assassins were captured, all the evidence was confiscated, and all clues were cut off by He Beiting immediately.

The emperor glanced at Zhou Xining with some ambiguity. He felt that Zhou Xining was scolding him, but what she said was so righteous that he couldn't pick out any bad words.

There was a moment of silence in the imperial study room.

When Zhou Xining asked for an audience, the emperor had signaled for Sun Li to invite the empress to come to the imperial study, and now the empress has arrived.He also stood outside and listened to Zhou Xining's judgment on the Seventh Prince Chu Yuchen.

After hearing those words, the back of Queen Zhang's neck felt chills, it was because she did not do things well.Regardless of the success or failure of the matter, if her Chen'er is involved because of it, then the loss outweighs the gain.

The emperor glanced at Empress Zhang who was presenting the ceremony, and then said to Zhou Xining: "The empress has already arrived, so just say what you have to say."

After Empress Zhang straightened up, Zhou Xining turned around and saluted, "Your servant dares to ask Empress, why did you send someone to assassinate your elder brother?"

Empress Zhang was startled when she heard the words, and then said angrily: "Presumptuous! Your elder brother was assassinated, how dare you ask me about it?"

"Naturally, those assassins are related to the empress."

"Zhou Xining, how dare you slander me! What about the evidence? If you can't produce any evidence, I will ask His Majesty to punish you for the crime of slander and disrespect. Not only will you die, but your Zhou family will also be imprisoned."

"The empress wants evidence? If the ministers have no evidence, how dare they come to the palace to see the empress, and how dare they ask the empress in front of His Majesty, but the empress is sure that the empress can bear the charge after the ministers show the evidence ?”

Zhou Xining raised his head, staring at Empress Zhang with a stern gaze, taking the momentum at this moment into consideration, and even deliberately suppressing Empress Zhang a bit.

"You..." Queen Zhang turned pale with anger.She spent money to hire murderers to assassinate He Beiting, but she didn't let anyone assassinate Zhou Yanqing.Don't rely on her for things she hasn't done.

Before she came to the imperial study, she was in a good mood.Although the killer didn't give her feedback in time as agreed, it was spread all over the streets and alleys of the four cities in central and central Beijing. He Beiting was assassinated and died with no bones left.

When she heard the news, she almost jumped up for joy.

Regardless of whether the incident was true or not, it was a great thing for her that He Beiting was assassinated and died.First of all, once He Beiting died, Zhou Xining regained his freedom, so he could marry into the Seventh Prince's Mansion.

Today's Zhou Xining is not the same as before. With the notoriety of being an unmarried widowed Kefu, coupled with his dilapidated body, he can no longer bear children. If she takes the initiative to propose at this time, even if she is a side concubine, the Zhou family will not should not.

Compared with a promise, it is more reassuring to buckle it into your own bowl.

But when Empress Zhang was writing beautifully, the servant from the imperial study room arrived and said that the emperor invited her to the imperial study room.When she found out from the servant that it was Zhou Xining who was in the imperial study, what she thought was that Zhou Xining regretted his refusal to marry at the beginning, and couldn't wait to come forward.

She didn't wake up until she stood outside the imperial study and heard the emperor's question and Zhou Xining's answer.The emperor announced that she came here because of the assassin. Originally, she was still thinking in her heart, maybe she was just asking a routine question.

But only now did she know that Zhou Xining approached him with evidence.

After thinking about it, Queen Zhang said: "Zhou Xining, I don't know where your so-called evidence came from, but I told you very clearly that I never did anything to assassinate your brother. How dare I tell you God swear, it's true."

Although she wasn't sure if those killers killed Zhou Yanqing when they assassinated He Beiting.But she did not pay for the assassination of Zhou Yanqing. If it was because Zhou Yanqing happened to be there when the assassin assassinated He Beiting, then it could only be considered that he deserved a short life and had nothing to do with her.

At this moment, Zhou Xining was sure that the person who assassinated his brother and Lin's brother was not sent by Queen Zhang.

After listening to Linfeng's account of the three assassinations, doubts arose in her heart.If the three groups of assassins were sent by the same person, why did those who assassinated He Beiting not fear death, while those who assassinated his elder brother and Lin's elder brother just ran away?
Normally, shouldn't it be the other way around?

Therefore, at that time, she guessed that these three groups of assassins were not from the same person.

Since the assassins on the elder brother's side and Lin's elder brother's side were not sent by the queen, and He Beiting said that the assassins were related to the queen, it was also confirmed that the group of assassins who assassinated He Beiting came from Queen Zhang, but what she couldn't figure out was, What is Queen Zhang for?
If it was because He Beiting made a marriage contract with her, it would at most cause Queen Zhang's dissatisfaction and take the opportunity to make things difficult for her, but she would never go to the point of assassinating her in the street.

After all, His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince had already explained everything to Empress Zhang last time, whether it was the Zhou family or the He family would only be a boost to his superior position, not a hindrance.What's more, my brother is working under His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince.

What was the reason that made Empress Zhang kill He Beiting without hesitation?
"Then what about He Beiting? Why does the Empress want him to die?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? I don't have one, I didn't do it." Empress Zhang flatly denied it, but because of her quick answer and her fleeting eagerness, Zhou Xining was extremely sure, It is Queen Zhang.

"The empress doesn't know. The evidence in my daughter's hands can only prove that the assassin who assassinated He Beiting came from your hand. As for the assassination of my brother, I just think it happened on the same day, and the time and place are different." It's so close, so the courtier asked one more question."

"Zhou Xining!" Empress Zhang was a little hysterical at the moment. Although Zhou Xining really had evidence in his hands, he still gritted his teeth unwillingly and said, "If you have evidence, then show it."

"The Empress, are you sure you want my servant to show it?" Zhou Shining said, "The reason why this servant is inviting you to your Majesty in front of His Majesty, has your Majesty never thought about why?"

Empress Zhang hesitated, and there was a trace of panic in her eyes. If there was no proof, how dare Zhou Xining say such things in front of His Majesty.

But "Zhou Xining, you want to kill Bengong unjustly with the false evidence you don't know where, but Bengong denies it!"

As soon as Queen Zhang said this, it was tantamount to calling herself out.

Zhou Xining sighed: "Actually, I don't have any evidence in my hand, it's just that the empress has messed up her position. The servant is afraid that the empress will turn her anger on He Beiting because she hates the servant, so she dares to ask.

Since the empress does not recognize it, the courtier has nothing to say.

After all, the entire family of the He family died fighting to defend the land. If the only surviving orphan died in the assassination of the royal family, it would inevitably chill the hearts of all the subjects of the Xuan Kingdom.

Even for His Highness the Seventh Highness, the empress would not do this. "
