Chapter 189
Liu Guogong did not stand up because of the support of the chief eunuch, but knelt there firmly.
"Elder-in-law, I appreciate your kindness, but this matter concerns the grievances of my daughter and son-in-law. Even if the emperor wants to punish me, I will not stand up. I will definitely seek justice for my daughter and son-in-law."
Liu Guogong spoke sonorously and forcefully, even though he was old, his voice was like a bell, exuding awe-inspiring momentum.
The chief eunuch finally heard it, and sighed helplessly.
"Old Duke, why are you bothering? The miscellaneous family is going to report to the emperor. I believe that if there is nothing wrong with the court, he will come back soon."
The chief eunuch was well aware of Liu Guogong's obstinate temper, and knew that since he had decided something, even if he had worn out his lips, he would not be able to persuade him, so he could only rush back to the court and report the matter to the emperor.
Li Jing and the three masters of the Liu family looked at the emperor and listened to the chief eunuch's report, and guessed that the chief eunuch must have gone to see Liu Guogong just now.
Liu Yanbo knew Liu Guogong's temperament very well, and wished he could retire from the court immediately, but unfortunately, there are many things that the officials have to repay today, and there is no intention of ending it for a long time.
The three brothers of the Liu family felt sorry for their father, but they didn't know that not long after the chief eunuch left, Mrs. Liu was worried that her idiot would really be kneeling in front of Qichen Hall, so she said she was worried about Liu Guogong, and came after saying goodbye to the queen mother. Qichen Hall.
The Empress Dowager has spent her whole life fighting in the harem, so how could she fail to see what Mrs. Liu meant.
The Hall of Qichen is the place where the emperor discusses serious matters, and ordinary officials are not allowed to approach it without a call, let alone Mrs. Liu, who is a girl.
Mrs. Liu is sure, if she wants to go there, the Empress Dowager will not let her be charged with trespassing on the Qichen Palace, and will follow her there.
Although the queen mother didn't know the purpose of Mrs. Liu, she followed her.
Mrs. Liu looked at the back of Liu Guogong kneeling on the ground, even though she was more than seventy years old, her back was always straight, but the back showed an air of aloofness that was neither humble nor overbearing.
Mrs. Liu hurriedly stepped forward to help, but Liu Guogong knelt down with firm eyes.
"Madam, don't try to persuade me. Today I want to seek justice for Qin Qin and his son-in-law."
Seeing that he was so stubborn, Mrs. Liu simply lifted her skirt and knelt on the ground.
The Empress Dowager looked at the couple amusedly, and walked forward with the support of Gong'e.
"How about acting together with your husband and wife for the Ai family? There is no one else here, so get up quickly."
Duke Liu was unmoved, and Mrs. Liu also knelt there firmly. If they hadn't been the late emperor's supporters and Mrs. Liu was her younger sister, how could she have allowed them to mess around here.
"Why don't the Ai family order someone to set up a stage, so that you husband and wife can put on a good show for the Ai family?"
The Empress Dowager said that she bent down to help the two of them, Mrs. Liu was well aware of her poor health, so she hurriedly got up, and immediately kicked Duke Liu who was kneeling on the ground.
Duke Liu sighed helplessly, and stood up slowly. Even the empress dowager must abide by the rules in this deep palace. After all, Qichen Palace is where the emperor conducts business, so she should not rashly bring people in. If the emperor arrests her If there is a handle, it will not be conducive to the Liu family's discussion with the emperor.
"Go get some chairs."
The Empress Dowager ordered Gong'e, and someone, Gong'e left in a hurry, and returned with three chairs in a short time.
The Empress Dowager sat down first, and then waved her hand to signal Liu Guogong and his wife to follow suit.
The morning mist was long, and the three of them sat at the gate of Qichen Hall, waiting for the emperor to make a small court, and the wait lasted for more than half an hour.
The emperor finally came back, looked at the three figures sitting in front of Qichen Hall from a distance, and unconsciously one head and two were bigger.
He frowned suspiciously, and even the Queen Mother moved here, which shows that this matter is not a trivial matter.
The emperor stepped forward, and Liu Guogong and his wife hurriedly got up to salute. The emperor looked at the three people's clothes soaked in the morning mist, said excuse me, and then walked to the queen mother, caring and asking.
"Mother, why did you alert you to come here in person? Come in."
The emperor personally helped the queen mother into the Qichen Hall, and even ordered a heater to be set up to warm the queen mother's hands.
Although it was only the beginning of autumn, the weather was getting colder and the queen mother was not in good health, she might have contracted typhoid fever, so the emperor ordered someone to fetch clothes for the queen mother.
"Mother, you go to the side hall to rest first."
The emperor made a gesture to help the queen mother to rest on the dragon bed in the side hall, but the queen mother refused.
"It doesn't matter, Your Majesty, the Ai family came here today to tell you something. Qin Qin and Cui He's deaths are strange. I hope you can give the Liu family justice and bring the bad guys to justice."
Hearing what the queen mother said, the emperor couldn't help frowning. Cui He and his wife had passed away for several years, and now the old matter was brought up again, but he didn't think it was their death that was strange.
"Mother, don't worry, I regard Qin Qin as my own sister, and I will definitely rehabilitate their husband and wife."
The queen mother nodded, and with the support of the emperor, she walked to a chair beside her and sat down.
The emperor returned to the Long case, looked at Liu Guogong with a solemn expression and asked.
"Duke Liu Guo entered the palace for this matter?"
Liu Guogong and his wife lifted their robes and knelt down, speaking respectfully.
"Exactly."
At this moment, the chief eunuch outside the door made a promise in a sharp voice.
"The fourth prince is here, and the three Lord Liu are here."
As soon as the words were finished, the door of Qichen Hall opened, and the three Liu family brothers and Li Jing who was on crutches walked in.
Now Li Jing, the splint on his leg has been removed, but the injured leg still can't be strenuous. He usually walks with crutches, and if the journey is longer, he uses a wheelchair.
The emperor looked at the whole picture of the visitor and couldn't help laughing.
"Everyone is here."
The emperor's voice made people unable to hear the joy or anger, and the five members of the Liu family and Li Jing knelt on the ground one after another.
"Please, the emperor, give the Liu family justice."
The Liu family was making a fuss about this matter, and the emperor could understand it, but Li Jing's involvement in it made him somewhat unexpected.
"The fourth prince is for the same thing?"
When the emperor asked, Li Jing's eyes met the emperor's gaze calmly and he spoke calmly.
"Exactly, it's about the late father-in-law and mother-in-law at this time, and the child should ask for an explanation for it."
The emperor said warmly, his smile widened, and he said one after another, "Okay, okay, my son has not married a daughter of the Liu family, so he will protect the Liu family like this."
Li Jing didn't show any fear because of the emperor's words. The emperor looked at everyone's earnest eyes and spoke calmly.
"Get up, tell me the details."
The emperor waved his hand, and some palace servants brought chairs for everyone from the Liu family and Li Jing to sit down.
After everyone thanked the emperor, they explained the ins and outs of the matter.
Even after presenting the testimony of Er Xiang and Yue Lian, the emperor was furious and slapped on the dragon case, "That Cui Jun is really daring, someone, go to the prison and bring him to me."
