famous concubine

Chapter 96
"I don't know the specific situation. I just acted according to the Empress's orders and 'invited' the two of you back first."

Looking at the wide street outside the palace gate with regret, and the passers-by in a hurry, Dongfang sighed in his heart: This road to freedom is really long. the end of the world.

Obviously, she was only a few steps away, and she could leave this damned palace.This matter came before my eyes like a transparent and beautiful bubble, elusive and elusive.

The queen must keep her in the palace, so she stays here and keeps her eyes wide open to see what else the queen can do.

"Let go of her, we'll go back with you." Feng Yu frowned, his clear voice contained suppressed anger.

Dongfang Yu smiled at him, met his worried eyes, and said slowly: "It doesn't matter."

Commander Xuan looked at the calm girl, and waved his hand.

Those heavy and cold sharp weapons all withdrew from her neck.

After being escorted back as suspects, Dongfang Yu and Feng Yu enjoyed the feeling of being in prison at the same time.

They were locked in prison, and the information they could get was very limited. They could only guess secretly that the emperor was probably poisoned and unconscious, and the imperial doctor was concentrating on treating him; Be kept secret.

After Nian Guifei heard that Feng Yu was suspected of murdering the emperor, she could only worry in the Shunhua Palace, burning with anxiety but unable to do anything.Because of her identity as mother and son by blood relationship with Feng Yu, she couldn't visit Feng Yu in the prison at all; she could only worry about her husband and her son at the same time.

After one day and one night, Guan Zheng, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, Huo Ping, Minister of Dali Temple, and Xu Li, Cheng Cheng of Yushi Taichung, were the highest-ranking officials in charge of the three divisions; Therefore, Guan Zheng, Huo Ping, and Xu Li went to the prison together, and brought Feng Yu and Dongfang Yu to the court for secret interrogation.

As for why there was a secret interrogation, Feng Yu didn't need to say it, and Dongfang could understand it, but it was because he was afraid that the emperor's poisoning and coma would be leaked, which would cause turmoil in Dongcheng.

Guan Zheng, Huo Ping, and Xu Li sat in a row behind the case desk. As the Minister of Dali Temple, Huo Ping was the most powerful of the three divisions, so he sat on the presiding judge's seat.

"Bring the suspect to the hall." Huo Ping gave an order, and immediately a yamen messenger went to deliver the order.

After a while, the jailer brought Dongfang Yu and Feng Yu, who were handcuffed and put on formal prisoner attire, to the courtroom.

Because of Feng Yu's status, naturally no one dared to force him to kneel down; but Dongfang Yu is different, a slender woman with no background does not need the three adults in the hall to speak out, only to see Dongfang Yu hesitate for a moment, and immediately A clerk stepped forward, someone pressed her shoulders forcibly, and someone kicked her legs hard behind her.

Feng Yu was furious in the hall, with red eyes, dragging the shackles and rushing towards him, both hands pushed the yamen who was pressing on the shoulders, and swept away the yamen who kicked the oriental language with his legs.

At the end, he scolded coldly: "You bastard, do you know who she is, how dare you treat her like this!"

The three of Huo Ping looked at each other, then Huo Ping waved at the Yacha, and the Yacha stopped wrestling with Feng Yu and retreated.

Dongfang Yu stood up slowly, his bright eyes swept the clerks around lightly, his eyes were full of coldness, sharp and bright astonishingly, he retracted his gaze, looked at the man with a livid face, and said slowly: "This Small things, I can bear it, why are you angry?"

Feng Yu clenched his fists, his peach blossom eyes flashed a cold and dark light, staring at the row of officials behind the office desk, he said coldly: "Master Huo, my father has personally ordered that she doesn't have to kneel down to salute anyone .”

"Your Highness Six, at present she is a suspect who murdered His Majesty just like you, so there is no reason not to kneel in the hall; Standing in front of him and talking." Huo Ping had a sullen face before he could speak, but Guan Zheng, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, couldn't help but roared angrily.

"Your Excellency will also say that your Highness and I are just suspects; since you have not been able to prove the crime, your Highness Sixth, as the prince, why should you kneel down to you." The girl in the prison uniform showed no fear on her face, just Seeing a contemptuous smile on her lips, her eyes lightly glanced at the three officials, "As for me, could it be that you will openly resist the order because His Majesty is not on the scene? Huh?"

The implied nature of these words is serious.This is not to say that they disobeyed His Majesty in disguise, and secretly hoped that His Majesty would never wake up.

Xu Li frowned, stared coldly at the calm girl, and said in a deep voice: "I didn't know that His Majesty had such an oral order beforehand, so I neglected the girl."

It's almost there!
The girl lazily lowered her eyes and raised the corners of her mouth slightly.Dissatisfied with her?It doesn't matter, you can express your dissatisfaction, but at least be polite to her.

"Since Your Majesty has the order not to kneel, then His Highness the Sixth Highness and Miss Dongfang should stand and listen to the trial." Xu Li, the prime minister of Yushi Taizhong, spoke slowly. His voice was very special, sharp and cold and slightly hoarse, like something rough. It's like the rough sound of something scratching hard on a smooth surface.

When Dongfangyu heard it, he frowned uncomfortably.Xindao said that this person's voice is the same as his appearance, sharp, cold, rough and hoarse.

After finishing speaking, he nodded to Huo Ping, the Minister of Dali Temple who was seated as the presiding judge, and said, "Then let's begin."

Guan Zheng pulled out a weird sneer, nodded his head, and raised his voice: "Show the evidence."

Soon, a yamen servant carried the evidence to the lobby.

Dongfang Yu heard the sound of four footsteps stopping in unison, and she looked back in surprise. Seeing this, she was immediately dumbfounded.

The evidence that was carried up by the four yamen guards turned out to be the table when they had dinner with the emperor before. No wonder she heard the footsteps of the yamen guards so heavy. Made of pincer white marble.

However, she was surprised, her eyes drifted upwards, and her heart sank.The dishes and chopsticks they had when they ate were still placed on the table, and even the plates that served the dishes were still placed in the same way. Almost exactly the same, as if no one cleaned it at all.

Are these all evidence?

Could it be that they have found out the source of the emperor's poisoning from these things?
Ever since Feng Yu saw this table, his brows were also furrowed, and he also had the same confusion as Dongfang Yu.

"You two are not unfamiliar with the things on this table, right?" Huo Ping's eyebrows were drooping. Although his tone was questionable, the expression on his face could not be more certain.
