Rebirth after waste

Chapter 90

"Now that the evidence is solid, do you have anything else to say?" the emperor looked at Jing Fushu and said slowly.

Jing Fushu looked blank, "No."

"So, you pleaded guilty to all these charges?"

"Can the concubine deny it?" Jing Fushu said with a sad smile.

Ming Chongyi on one side frowned, "What's your expression? You made a big mistake, don't you feel wronged in your heart?"

Jing Fushu heard her words, and actually answered her words seriously, "No, the concubine is not wronged. The concubine is just regretting."

"Regret?" The emperor remained calm.

"I regret it. That day, I shouldn't have followed my brother to ride a horse outside the city." She looked at him, her eyes were full of deep love and deep affection, "In this way, I will never meet Your Majesty. You don't have to. In the following years, so sad, so painful...."

The emperor looked at her indifferently, without speaking.

"Your Majesty, don't be fooled by her again!" Seeing the emperor's reaction, Xia Qiongzhang worried that he would soften his heart to her again, so he hurriedly said, "Just now everyone can see it clearly. The trick of trickery and demagoguery is chastity. What Gui Ji is good at! Never take what comes out of her mouth seriously."

After Xia Qiongzhang finished speaking, she looked at the emperor expectantly.But the emperor still looked at Jing Fushu, didn't give her the slightest reaction, and didn't know if he listened or not.

"Your Majesty, my concubine thinks that since Concubine Zhengui can deceive everyone in this matter, she may have a lot of secrets in other aspects. In order to prevent the truth from being buried, it is reasonable to thoroughly investigate the people around her to see how much more can be uncovered." Let's get dirty!" Xia Qiongzhang continued to preach without being discouraged.

The emperor finally turned his head to look at her, "Oh, Ruichu, do you think we should investigate thoroughly?"

"Yes." Xia Qiongzhang said.

He thought for a while, then smiled slightly, "Of course we need to investigate. I also want to know how many things you have kept from me, Ashu."

Jing Fushu closed her eyes weakly.

The emperor looked at Yuliu and Li He, "Shut these two people into Yongxiang, guard them strictly, and don't allow any trouble." People are not allowed to visit."

"No." The eunuch said, and then stepped forward and dragged Yuliu and Li He out.

Jing Fushu got up before the eunuchs pulled her. The surrounding concubines looked at her gleefully, but she didn't care.

Indifferent eyes slid across Gu Yunxian's body, and there was a faint sneer on his lips.

Gu Yunxian thought she would say something, but unexpectedly, she just looked at her like this for a moment, then turned and left.

Although the harem was in such a mess, the affairs of the previous court were still the most important. After the emperor dealt with it, he went to Lixiao Palace to discuss matters with the ministers.All the concubines also need to go back to their respective palaces for meals to prepare for the busy afternoon.

After everyone dispersed, Gu Yunxian stood alone in the peach forest behind Taiyin Palace for a long time.

In this season, the flowers and leaves of the peach trees have disappeared without a trace, and only the bare branches are shivering in the cold wind.A layer of pure white snow fell on it, looking as moving as ice crystals.

Looking at them, Gu Yunxian recalled in his mind the busy scene in the peach forest in the spring of March, and suddenly felt helpless.

Flowers bloom and fall, fate is more important than everything else, and it has never been controlled by ordinary people like them.

When she returned to the palace, she was already freezing cold.

Liu Shanggong handed her the warm towel, "Your Majesty, cover your face."

She took it and put the veil on her cheeks, only then did she feel that the cold feeling had subsided a lot.

"Everything is going well today, and the news from Dingmei is indeed the most reliable." Liu Shanggong said.

She nodded, "Indeed, she is indeed the person who has been with Jing Fushu for two years."

"Since Your Majesty has ordered a thorough investigation, the rest of the matter will be easier to handle." Cai Jia asked, "In this way, wouldn't it be possible to completely bring down Zhen Guiji?"

"It should be." Gu Yunxian said so, but there was no joy on his face.

"Is your empress unhappy?" Cai Jia asked tentatively.

Gu Yunxian tightly clenched the snow-white veil in his hand, "No, I'm very happy."

"But, ma'am, your expression..."

"I'm just a little regretful." Gu Yunxian said in a low voice.

"What are you sorry about?"

Gu Yunxian didn't answer, but Liu Shanggong immediately understood.What else could she regret?Naturally, no evidence of Jing Fushu's murder of the Queen Mother was found in the end.

Cai Jia didn't know about this matter, so naturally he couldn't talk about it in front of her at the moment.Thinking of this, she smiled slightly, "Your Majesty's tonic is still simmering on the fire, Miss Caijia, go and bring it. It's time for lunch soon. My Majesty drank the medicine after eating, just in time to take a nap." I'm still busy in the afternoon!"

Cai Jia nodded, "No, this servant will go now."

After she went out, Liu Shanggong lowered his voice and said: "Your Majesty is still obsessed with the Empress Dowager?"

Gu Yunxian heard that her tone was different from before, and couldn't help frowning, "Naturally. We checked and checked, spent so much effort, and even brought Xue Changsong together, but we didn't even catch anything. This It's really too..."

"Why didn't the empress ask Dingmei about this matter? Maybe, she would know something." Liu Shanggong said.

Why not ask the beauty?Of course she hoped that she could find a beauty.

She clearly remembered that in that dream, Dingmei also knew about Zhenguiji's plan.

It was like this in the last life, and it will probably be like this in this life.

But she can't ask.

Regardless of whether it was Yuliu or Li He, the biggest thing these two people were involved in was nothing more than the murder of the emperor's descendants, and this plan did not succeed in the end.But the Queen Mother is different.If such a big thing is really revealed, the emperor will be furious.

When the emperor got angry, he laid down millions of corpses, bleeding and drifting away.

At that time, not only Zhen Guiji, but also everyone related to her will not be able to escape, including Ding Meiren herself.

Under such considerations, even if Dingmei knew about this matter, she would definitely not reveal a word.

What worries Gu Yunxian even more is that if Ding Meiren knows that she has such doubts, she may not dare to cooperate with her at all.

Gu Yunxian believed that Dingmei would rather Zhenguiji be executed for other crimes, and would never want her to die for murdering the queen mother.

But Gu Yunxian is different from her.

In her heart, she always hoped to use this incident to completely destroy Jing Fushu.Just because in her opinion, this is the most unforgivable thing Jing Fushu has ever done.Only when this matter is exposed, can the emperor understand how big a mistake he has made, and it can be regarded as complete revenge for the queen mother.None of the other charges are enough.

But as the time passed day by day, she still couldn't find the clue.In desperation, she had to choose to start with other aspects first.

But she hasn't given up.Now that the emperor has ordered a thorough investigation of Jing Fushu, then she only needs to carefully interrogate the people around her, and she will definitely be able to find out something!

Seeing her expression, Liu Shanggong immediately understood her plan.She finally uttered that sentence that had been held in her heart for a long time, "But Madam, have you ever thought that maybe from the beginning, you were wrong?"

Gu Yunxian was taken aback, "What do you mean?"

"You told me that you suspected that Zhen Guiji... murdered the Queen Mother, but the root of your suspicion is that you had a dream. Other than that, there is no basis for it." Liu Shanggong said, "Actually , I have been speculating a long time ago whether such a thing would not exist at all..."

Gu Yunxian stared at her blankly.

Naturally, Liu Shanggong didn't know that she had dreamed that in her previous life, Zhenguiji conspired with Dingmei to poison the Queen Mother.She said that only because she told her a few days after the Queen Mother passed away that the Queen Mother entrusted her with a dream and asked her to avenge her.

Liu Shanggong believed her words, gave up dying for the Lord, and stayed by her side to help her.

But at this moment, she suddenly told her that maybe Jing Fushu didn't do this at all.

After all, it was just a dream.

"Do you think I'm lying to you?" She didn't know why she was so excited suddenly, her eyes were as sharp as a knife, "Do you think Jing Fushu didn't do such a thing?"

"My servant didn't doubt my mother, but my servant just felt that..." Liu Shanggong explained, "As Zhuang Jieyu said today, I think about it every day and dream at night. Maybe my lady just worried about the queen mother too much, so that's what happened. Thoughts...."

She didn't know what to say, but she felt that her mind was getting more and more confused, and many things came up at once.

Could it be that she was wrong?
But in that dream, it was clearly like this.There's no way she could be wrong.

Cai Jia whispered by the door: "Your Majesty, you can eat now."

Liu Shanggong saw her frowning tightly, with a painful expression, and felt a little regretful in her heart, she shouldn't have said those words.In order to divert her attention, she hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, let's have lunch first. These matters can be carefully considered during the interrogation in the afternoon."

Gu Yunxian shook his head, "I have no appetite. I feel very tired now and want to sleep for a while."

Liu Shanggong was taken aback for a moment, but decided not to go against her intentions at this time, "Okay. Then the lady rests first, and the servant will ask the cook to warm these dishes. If you are hungry in the afternoon, you can eat them at any time."

Gu Yunxian nodded wearily.

This time Gu Yunxian slept very restlessly.

She had a dream.

At the beginning of the dream, there were countless cliffs. She was wearing wooden shoes and stepped on the path beside the cliff. Looking at the abyss below, she was so frightened that she broke out in cold sweat.Every step she took took a lot of effort, and she was worried that if she was not careful, she would fall down and be smashed to pieces.

This dream is not the first time she has had it.In fact, in the past two years, she has always had the same dream, so many times that she clearly knew that she was in a dream when she saw the same scene again.

As for the meaning of this dream, she doesn't need to find someone to explain it, she can understand it.

Living in this palace was no different from walking on a cliff.
