Rebirth of the famous family

Chapter 525 The Crown Princess Appears (1)
The little official didn't expect the emperor to ask him suddenly, and was stared at by the majestic eyes of the emperor, he knelt down in panic for a moment, and hurriedly said: "This minister is standing by the incense table, and this minister has never heard the crown princess speak. , but my ministers... my ministers saw... too... the crown prince smiled at the ministers..."

This little official is a low-level official in the Ministry of Rites, and he has never met Tianyan, let alone dealt with it before the imperial court. He is obviously very nervous at the moment, and when he thought of what he saw just now, his lips turned white with fright, and his voice trembled. I couldn't help trembling.

The emperor stared at the little official with sharp eyes, he saw the fear and awe of the little official, and he also saw the shock of everyone in his eyes, and he said again: "Did you all see the crown princess smiling at you?"

For a moment, everyone knelt down and echoed, everyone said clearly that it was indeed the Crown Princess who suddenly sat up and smiled at everyone.

One person may be wrong, but it is impossible for everyone here to be wrong. A dead person suddenly laughs. What is it if it is not a manifestation? !The emperor became frightened and trembling, he couldn't help but feel hairy standing in this mourning hall.

Seeing that the emperor's expression was not right, Liu Jian kowtowed and said, "Long live my emperor, I think the fortune of our country must prosper and last forever, so the princess will show her spirit and smile."

After hearing this, the emperor nodded and said: "What Ai Qing said is very true."

From the eyes of the world, the appearance of the Crown Princess means that she has resentment and was wronged by her death, and this will haunt her, but the people present dare not say so, even if they have such intentions, they all say it cryptically, this is because If the concubine's soul is not at peace because of injustice, then what is the face of Yan's royal family?Therefore, Mrs. Liu only made a lot of fuss about the Crown Princess Luxiao, insisting that this is a good omen, a sign of prosperity for the country.

Jinse had expected this point long ago, and just waited quietly with lowered eyes. At this moment, Su Guogong knelt down with a group of people from the Jin family. Yes, but the real culprit can still be found out, and the Crown Princess cannot be given justice, so I ask the emperor to investigate this matter strictly, and only by severely punishing the real culprit can the imperial power be raised and the hearts of the people at ease."

The emperor said in the East Palace that day that he wanted to personally investigate the death of the crown princess, but it was clear that there was a lot of thunder and rain, and there was no sound for three days. The deep investigation is the master of the East Palace, and it must be investigated impartially and strictly.

After Su Guogong said, all the ministers and ladies present knelt down one after another, echoing Su Guogong's proposal with one voice, and the emperor said in a deep voice: "The Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment, and the clan's mansion will all judge the Crown Princess together. case, a result must be found out in three days, if there is any delay, it means that the ability to handle the matter is insufficient, leave the black yarn behind, tell the old man to go back to his hometown and grow sweet potatoes."

The emperor dismissed the Minister of Dali Temple, and the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment and other three adults hurried forward to receive the order.

"Grandpa Huang, Grandma Huang, it was she who offended Concubine Mother and pushed Concubine Mother into the coffin. She even spoke rudely to Concubine Mother. Grandson begged Grandpa and Grandma Huang to be the masters of Concubine Mother and punish her severely!"

At this moment, Wanyan Tingwen's angry voice sounded. The crown princess in the coffin had her hair in a bun. The emperor had already seen it. He didn't expect that he would go around for a long time to protect Mrs. Dongping, and finally Wanyan Tingwen threw away the original problem with a single sentence. When he came back, he had to stare angrily at Mrs. Dongpinghou, and said, "Mrs. Dongpinghou, do you know that you are wrong?"

When Zuo Lijing heard the words, she said sadly: "My wife is guilty. Although my wife did it unintentionally, her admiration for the princess is like a bright blue sky, but it is also a fact that my wife violated her dignity and collided with the princess. I don't want to severely punish the minister. A woman is not enough to show the majesty of the royal family, please don't show mercy to the courtier's wife because of her first childbirth, and severely punish the courtier's wife!"

Today, Zuo Lijing will come to express her condolences. This is for the emperor to show that she is open-minded and not afraid to see the princess off in person. Who would have thought that it would be self-defeating? At this moment, the emperor already believes that the princess is How could he have no idea about what happened to the crown princess attacking Zuo Lijing alone to cheat the corpse.

Zuo Lijing understood this, that's why she repeatedly asked the emperor to punish her severely at this moment, and her words were very skillful, firstly, it showed that she did not intend to offend the princess, and secondly, she came to express her condolences as a pregnant woman It is a respect to the princess in itself, and more importantly, she said that if she does not punish her, she cannot show the majesty of the royal family. The majesty of the royal family is nothing more than the majesty of the emperor. Zuo Lijing is saying that I understand the emperor's difficulties, please don't If you want to take care of me, punish me severely to make things easier.

She is so reasonable, emphasizing love and righteousness, and her attitude is so sincere, the emperor became uncertain again, but regardless of whether the death of the crown princess had anything to do with Zuo Lijing, the emperor couldn't bear to punish her severely at this moment, Zuo Lijing After Lijing said that, several adults and wives from Dongping Hou and Zuo family interceded one after another.

Concubine Rong also said at this moment: "Your Majesty, today's princess concubine's appearance is a miracle that is rare in a hundred years. Anyone who replaces Mrs. Dongpinghou will be panicked. Mrs. Dongpinghou is also a pregnant woman. If she is severely punished, will she be punished?" It's too unkind, I believe this is not what the Crown Princess would like to see."

The Seventh Prince and the Fifth Prince have a good relationship, and the birth mother of the Seventh Prince has just been promoted to Concubine An. Concubine Rong's first daughter, this is the critical time for Concubine Rong to win over the Anyuanhou's mansion, how could she just watch Dongpinghou's wife being punished?

Princess Yong echoed Concubine Rong's words, and Princess Yi, not to be outdone, also pleaded for mercy, and then several courtiers and wives who had connections with Anyuanhou's Mansion also pleaded for mercy.If the emperor wanted to severely punish Mrs. Dongping Hou, he would have pulled her down with one word. When everyone pleaded, the ministers and wives who saw the emperor's attitude also followed suit.

The emperor's face softened slightly, he looked at the queen, and said: "I don't think Mrs. Dongpinghou really meant it, the queen sees..."

The queen nodded and said: "Madam Dongping Hou's actions today should be punished by death according to the law of Yan. However, she did not intend to, and she is a pregnant woman. The punishment should not be completely unreasonable. According to my concubine, I will punish her with fifty sticks." Give the princess a three-day vigil..."

The emperor originally thought that so many people would intercede for Mrs. Dongpinghou. If the queen insisted on punishing Mrs. Dongpinghou, she would inevitably lose her tongue. come out.
