Forbidden Autumn, Summer, Winter and Spring Rebirth

Chapter 59 57. Private Affair ()

Seeing everyone arguing, Zhen Huan stood up again and saluted: "I have never done this before. I think I walk and sit upright. If the emperor still has doubts, I am willing to confront Prince Guo in court."

The emperor's eyes swept over the people sitting down one by one, and he saw a hint of sarcasm at the corner of Xia Dongchun's mouth, and he couldn't help but be curious.

"Concubine Chang, tell me."

Xia Dongchun was stunned for a moment when she didn't expect him to be called.

"I just think it's funny. The person who set up this situation is probably very stupid. All the sisters have witnessed the love between the Emperor and Wan Bin with their own eyes, and Wan Bin gave birth to the first prince after the Emperor ascended the throne. And as a result The prince and the emperor are also brothers and sisters, and their status is noble. Both of them have a great future, so why should they put their great future aside? It is unreasonable for me to do such a thing that is not worth the gain." Xia Dongchun is methodical. replied.

"Haha," the emperor suddenly laughed loudly: "Your idea is tricky, but it is also the best for me."

Concubine Hua handed her a knife, but Xia Dongchun just pretended not to see it.

"I am willing to swear with my life. If I say anything false, I will die badly..." Fei Guiren saw that the situation was unfavorable and hurriedly swore.

"Fei, do you think I will spare your life?" The emperor said coldly, and the surrounding temperature suddenly dropped a bit.

Fei Guiren knelt on the ground as if he was exhausted, his eyes were distracted.

"Forget it, I'll let you know clearly. Bring those two people up."

The guards escorted two unfamiliar palace maids and eunuchs, who must be the witnesses Fei Guiren mentioned.

"My servant Cai'er, the palace maid of the Royal Garden, is here to meet the emperor, the empress, and all the young masters."

"The servant Xiao Gangzi, the eunuch who sweeps the royal garden, comes to see the Emperor, the Queen, and all the young masters."

The emperor did not speak. The queen looked at the silent emperor and hesitated whether to speak.

"You two, tell me carefully what you saw and heard one by one." Fei Guiren said sternly to the two of them.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I saw it first. On the night of the Dragon Boat Festival, when I was ready to go back after finishing my work, I saw a person quietly entering the Tung Flower Terrace. I was afraid that she was a palace maid with unclean hands and feet, so she leaned against the wall. He went to the office and listened carefully to what was going on inside. Unexpectedly, he heard the voices of a man and a woman. The woman called the man Prince Guo. The two chatted happily and talked about some flowers in the Tonghua Terrace whose names were "Xiyan". ', it's a flower of misfortune, so the man advised the woman to be careful everywhere in the palace. The woman said again, 'A person is not good for a thousand days, and a flower is red for a hundred days', and then she said a poem, "The wind is as easy to understand as it is to destroy," the Emperor clearly knows that this slave has never read a book and does not know the names of the flowers in the tung flower terrace. Everything the slave said is true," the palace maid said.

"Slave, I heard someone's voice in the Tonghua Terrace on the night of the Dragon Boat Festival. I thought it was haunted. I sneaked in and heard a man and a woman talking. At first, I thought they were maids and guards from some palace. Unexpectedly, the two of them spoke in a coherent manner, and they didn't sound like palace maids or guards. After listening for a while, I felt that their voices were somewhat familiar. I only remembered that the man's voice was very similar to Prince Guo, but I couldn't remember the woman's voice." The eunuch continued.

"Such a learned and talented person seems to be like Wan Bin's style. This shows Wan Bin's talent." Concubine Hua mocked.

Everyone looked at Wan Bin and saw that she was calm and composed on her face, looking at the emperor as if waiting for his reaction.

"The wind is like a solution, it is easy not to destroy..." The emperor repeated, thoughtfully.

"But from the beginning to the end, neither of them was sure that the woman inside was a concubine. Is it possible to convict a concubine just because of two lines of poetry?" Concubine Jing asked anxiously. "My servant saw that woman coming out of the Tonghua Terrace. She was dressed and looked very much like the concubine of Sui Yuxuan. The next day, she inquired carefully and learned that someone had indeed seen Concubine Wan going out late at night the day before, so she was sure that it was her. By the way, the two of them also mentioned that the sachet carried by Prince Guo contains the petals of Du Ruo, which is the flower that the woman likes."

"Duruo petals..."

Xiangbi said jokingly at the side: "Du Ruohua is a flower of affection. Sister Guanbi is as tender as water. It is reasonable to like Du Ruo. It's just that the prince of Guo County carries the flower that Guanbi likes with him. The meaning is, It must be..."

"Shut up!" the emperor shouted angrily.

Xiangbi was so frightened that she stopped talking and did not dare to continue.

"Concubine Wan, do you have anything to say?" The emperor looked at Zhen Huan and asked in a deep voice.

Everyone present could see that the emperor was already suspicious.

"I feel that I have a clear conscience. I will not admit to anything that has never happened before. I ask the emperor to investigate clearly and return my innocence." Zhen Huan said calmly.

"Okay, you sit down first, and I will definitely clear your name."

Zhen Huan sat down as instructed and continued to remain quiet without saying a word.

"Do you three have anything else to explain?" Yong Zheng looked at Fei Guiren and the others, his voice was like a pool of stagnant water, gloomy and terrifying.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, now Cai'er and Xiao Gangzi are witnesses, the Du Ruo flower petals in Prince Guo's sachet are physical evidence, Zhen Huan and Prince Guo had a private meeting at Tonghua Terrace, both witnesses and physical evidence are there, this is contrary to The emperor must not condone the filth and chaos in the harem. I sincerely report Wan Concubine for the sake of the emperor and the entire harem!" Fei Guiren cried.

Xia Dongchun felt strange. These words were well-founded and clear. It was not like something Fei Guiren could say. Could it be that someone was teaching her behind her back?

"Everything my slave said is true, and not a single word is false. Your Majesty knows it clearly." Cai'er and Xiao Gangzi kowtowed.

Concubine Jing stood up and saluted: "Your Majesty, I think this matter has not yet been completely concluded. Cai'er said that the woman coming out of the Tonghua Terrace looked very much like Wan Concubine, and she was not sure that she was Wan Concubine. Moreover, the sky was dark at that time, so maybe It is possible that he saw it wrongly. As for the sachet that King Guo carried with him, there were Du Ruo flower petals, and it cannot be used as physical evidence. This matter was not something that King Guo deliberately concealed. Maybe it would have been seen by the talkative servant that day. , why put the Du Ruo petals, maybe the Prince of Guo likes it, or the Du Ruo fragrance is unique, it is also possible. Wan concubine behaves magnanimously, and it is obvious to all the concubine and the sisters. I believe that Wan concubine and Guo concubine The county and the king have nothing to do with each other and are willing to be Wanbi's guarantor."

"I am also willing to be my guarantee for my concubine." Concubine Hui also stood up and saluted.

"I am also willing to vouch for my concubine." An Lingrong and Chun Guiren also stood up together.

Xia Dongchun only watched quietly and did not get up.

It didn't matter whether she believed in Zhen Huan or not, but she knew in her heart that Zhen Huan and Prince Guo in her previous life had a close relationship. What if the two had had entanglements in the palace in the past few years?

Moreover, she and Zhen Huanming do not have a close relationship on the surface, so it is best not to act rashly at this time.
