After reading my heart, my mother-in-law went crazy and I drank milk and melons.

Chapter 51 Concubine Shu ascends the throne
  Jiang Xiaozhu tried her best to get up, but to no avail. She could only say hysterically: "Wrong, wrong, wrong, all wrong! Concubine Shu, you have preset answers. You clearly want to force me to confess in front of the emperor! Your Majesty, My concubine has been wronged, Your Majesty, please save my concubine, Your Majesty!"

Her cries were so penetrating that for a moment, everyone present looked at Emperor Qing Ling in unison.

However, Emperor Qingling had no intention of intervening, and obviously left the matter entirely to Concubine Shu.

Concubine Shu continued: "You didn't finish what you said just now. It's clear what happened to you. Since you didn't tell me, I will tell you for you. You have clearly dealt with the palace maid involved. How did I know this?"

After she finished speaking, Master Jiang raised his eyes to look at her.

There was depth and coldness in those eyes.

That's the look in the eyes of a ferocious beast when it sees its prey.

"Concubine Shu, I should have killed you that day! It would have saved me the shame of today!"

Concubine Shu ignored her look and said calmly: "So, do you admit these things?"

From beginning to end, she remained very calm.

The purpose is clear.

Decisive and resolute.

All she did was force Jiang Xiaozhu to confess.

Jiang Xiaozhu sneered: "Does it make any difference whether you admit it or not? The emperor has rejected me, and you hate me. Even if I didn't do this, it will eventually fall on me. In this case, is there any use in resisting? ? It’s better to just lie down and be ridiculed, and end up with a clean reputation.”

She had a completely rotten attitude, and her remarks immediately confused everyone present.

This wave of reverse self-verification actually denies what Concubine Shu said in disguise.

For a moment, everyone's eyes on Concubine Shu changed.

Could it be that Concubine Shu went to the palace maid and eunuch just to make Young Master Jiang confess? If this is the case, then Master Jiang may really have been wrongly accused.

She said that she wanted to stay innocent and let herself be mocked. This did not mean that future generations would understand her innocence. On the contrary, Concubine Shu, the culprit, would become the target of public criticism.

After all, this method of interrogation is indeed disgraceful.

However, Concubine Shu sneered and said in a deep voice: "You are really heartbroken until you see the Yellow River, and you won't shed tears until you see the coffin. Do you know why I didn't bring the real maids and eunuchs here? How can you see the corpses in the residence of the harem concubines?"

Jiang Xiaozhu's heart skipped a beat.

The body was actually found!
  The next moment, Concubine Shu said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the harem is currently experiencing a troubled period. I want to take care of the Emperor's worries. I was late just now. I went to the House of Internal Affairs to ask about the matter. I happened to see the people who had been dealt with in the House of Internal Affairs. There is no good spot on the bodies of the palace maid and the eunuch. They are all bruises left by beatings and abuse, and there are personal belongings and sawdust from the cold palace Jiang Xiaozhu. The evidence is conclusive, but in order to restore the truth of the matter, the concubine carefully After carefully checking the personal maid of Young Master Jiang in the Cold Palace, the maid told the concubine everything she saw and heard in the past two days. However, Young Master Jiang was careful and never brought the matter to light. What the concubine said just now was true. Combining what she saw and heard with the evidence that has been searched by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, she can deduce the truth. Looking at Xiaozhu Jiang's reaction just now, she is inseparable from the situation. How to deal with it, but follow the emperor's orders. "

She was not impatient and told the facts.

Every time he said a word, Jiang Xiaozhu's heart sank a little.

She never thought that Concubine Shu had guessed these things herself, so it was herself who really pushed her into the abyss!
  If she hadn't fallen into Concubine Shu's trap just now and thrown herself into the trap, even Concubine Shu would have only doubted her based on the so-called evidence. From the beginning to the end, she couldn't be sure that it was her.

is her!

It was she who exposed the flaw herself!
  Jiang Xiaozhu shouted hoarsely: "Your Majesty, I can explain to you that those two slaves just died on their own. What they did during their lifetimes has nothing to do with me. With these evidences found on them, how can I confirm that they are related to me?" "

Concubine Shu frowned and stepped forward, bent down and pulled open the cuffs of the kneeling palace maid.

Shocking whip marks appeared in everyone's sight.

There are even burn scars. The wounds lay across each other, like the cracks left by dry land, and they saw blood.

"Your Majesty, this is Young Master Jiang's personal maid."

Concubine Shu made a splash.

The palace maid burst into tears on the spot and knelt down to beg for mercy: "Your Majesty, this servant didn't see anything. Young Master Jiang always does things behind people's backs. Every time she only calls Xiuyu, the one she's closest to. I originally thought she was trusting Xiuyu." Yu, I didn’t expect that she asked Xiuyu to do this for her, and then sent Xiuyu to die. Xiuyu also said before that she would beg fresh horseshoe cakes for her slaves to eat, but who knew that she would be discovered today? He died in the House of Internal Affairs. Your Majesty, this slave deserves to die. He committed the grave crime of deceiving the emperor. Please, Your Majesty, grant this slave a death so that he can accompany Xiuyu."

The eunuch also cried and said: "Your Majesty, the one who died was the servant's unsatisfactory brother. He has been serving the young masters in the cold palace all year round, and he was also planning to climb up. Unexpectedly, young master Jiang took advantage of this and became her murderer." A sharp weapon, this servant saw with his own eyes that my unsatisfactory brother killed Xiuyu, and then was pushed into the well of the Ministry of Internal Affairs by Young Master Jiang himself!"

He told the truth word for word.

Jiang Xiaozhu collapsed on the ground.

"You... you are all Concubine Shu's people! They want to harm me, Your Majesty, they want to harm me!"

Concubine Shu walked further away and her voice was slightly deeper: "The emperor and I have given you the opportunity, but Mr. Jiang, you are the one who insists on being stubborn. If you admit your guilt from the beginning, even if you confess before I reveal the truth, We will give you and the Jiang family a way out, but instead of admitting your guilt, you actually beat them up. In this way, even if the emperor misses his old feelings, he can't stop the world from talking. It's you who walked into this dead end, and you can't blame it. other people."

After saying that, she faced Emperor Qingling, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, my concubine's mission has been completed."

Emperor Qingling responded in a muffled voice: "Well, thank you for your hard work, Concubine Shu."

He raised his eyes, with warmth hidden in his brows.

What Concubine Shu did just now did leave room for everything.

She was forcing Little Master Jiang to tell the truth, and wanted to save Little Master Jiang's life in front of him, but it was Little Master Jiang who was obsessed with it.

Why is his concubine so good?

Young Master Jiang had harmed her so much, yet she actually wanted to spare her life.

"Little Master Jiang, the Jiang family will be killed immediately with the rod, and the ten clans of the Jiang family will be punished. All officials of the third rank and above who have had contact with the Jiang family will be suspended for investigation, and officials below the third rank will be sentenced to death."

As soon as this statement came out, the whole audience was in an uproar.

Everyone retreated, wondering in their hearts whether their mother's family had any human relations with the Jiang family.

If there is, I'm afraid it can't be preserved.

When Jiang Xiaozhu heard that the emperor was so cruel, he was so frightened that he urinated on the spot.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please spare my life. Your Majesty..."

Concubine Shu felt a sigh of relief in her heart.

When this happened, she didn't even ask for grace for her family. From the beginning to the end, she only thought about herself.

Pity her father, Taifu Jiang, who once taught the emperor.

In this way, the emperor would inevitably end up being unsympathetic and unjust.

Mrs. Jiang was also implicated.

Emperor Qingling stood up, took Concubine Shu's hand and said: "Concubine Shu, the noble concubine of the Zong family of Jin, will follow me out of the palace in three days to offer sacrifices and be worshiped by all the people. The princess will welcome you and give you the title of Zhixin."
