Rebirth of the Abandoned Concubine: The Poison Goddess Doctor

Chapter 229 Putting blame on Mu Nuanqing's catastrophe

After the initial panic, Mrs. Qi quickly calmed down. Compared with worrying every day and restless nights with guilty conscience, now that things have been revealed, she is calmer.It's their Qi family's crime, if the emperor wanted to kill him, they would follow suit!

However, when she arrived at the imperial study room, the development of the matter was far beyond her expectation.

Before Emperor Ming could ask, Qi Changsheng knelt down on the ground crying with snot and tears, everything was done according to the order of his side concubine Mu, he didn't know what was in the box, he was deceived by innocent people.

"Lie!" The queen mother sternly yelled, "You are so courageous. It is clear that your Qi family has been corrupt and accepting bribes. You are ashamed of the emperor's grace, and you dare to deny it and frame Prince Chen!"

The Empress Dowager said: "The Empress Dowager, don't rush to get angry, first listen to their confrontation before talking."

"There's nothing to confront," said the empress dowager's embarrassing elder, "the disaster silver embezzlement case in the first year of Tianyou has been settled for six years, and it took a lot of trouble to settle the case with just a few gold ingots from that year. Find out, and insist on accusing Prince Chen of the crime, Aijia really doesn't understand what the emperor thinks!"

The Empress Dowager spoke seriously, but Emperor Ming took it for granted, whenever something happened to Prince Chen, the Empress Dowager who favored Yao'er, would get agitated easily.

"Queen mother, I am the emperor, so I can't turn a blind eye when I discover suspicious points!" Ming Emperor said, "I also want to believe that Prince Chen is innocent, but a suspicious case is a suspicious case, and we must investigate to find out the truth!"

"What a suspicious case! It's just that the emperor has doubts in your heart!" The queen mother said angrily.

She really didn't understand, the emperor had already sat on the dragon chair, why would he still have trouble with her own younger brother!One was born as a prince and ascended to the throne as a matter of course, but the other was just an ordinary prince, and he was just a prince for the rest of his life.What exactly is the emperor dissatisfied with, that he insists on holding on to Prince Chen? !

The queen mother said cruelly: "It was the Ai family who recommended Prince Chen to go north to rescue the disaster. If you want to punish Prince Chen for an unwarranted crime, you might as well punish the Ai family together!"

Emperor Ming's face also became gloomy, it was like this every time, as long as he wanted to punish Prince Chen, the Empress Dowager would use herself as a threat.

Everyone was silent, the emperor and the queen mother only spoke a few words, and the smell of gunpowder was strong. It was obvious that they had already argued before they entered the palace, and the quarrel was very unpleasant.

The empress dowager's face was calm and peaceful, and she was not affected by the atmosphere full of gunpowder in the slightest. She said: "Ai's family can't interfere with the affairs of the previous dynasty, but Prince Chen is the precious grandson of Ai's family. The emperor must find out. The truth, don't wrong him."

Emperor Ming's face softened, and he said: "Don't worry, Grandmother, I will definitely find out the truth and never wrong anyone."

The Empress Dowager's complexion became even more ugly. The Empress Dowager's words were meant for her. Even the Empress Dowager was not qualified to intervene in the affairs of the previous court, so why should she intervene?But really depending on the emperor's temperament, Prince Chen has not been stripped of several layers of skin!

"In the middle of the night, Ai's family is really sleepy. Empress Dowager, help Ai's family go back to rest." The Empress Dowager said.

The queen mother didn't want to leave, but the empress dowager put her hand on her arm and pulled it hard.The Empress Dowager gave Emperor Ming a threatening look, and had to leave with the Empress Dowager.

After leaving the imperial study room, the Empress Dowager walked unhurriedly, and said: "Empress Dowager, you should put down your temper, in front of foreign ministers, threatening the emperor like that, where do you let the emperor's face go?" ?”

The queen mother was full of anger, and said in a very angry tone when she heard the words: "The emperor is all about punishing Prince Chen, and he doesn't care about Aijia's feelings at all. Does Aijia care about his face?"

The Empress Dowager glanced at her with a sigh.

"The Ai family knows what the queen mother wants to say," the queen mother said, "not only the queen mother, but everyone thinks that the Ai family is partial to Prince Chen. If the Ai family is really partial, why didn't the Ai family support Prince Chen as the emperor back then? The Ai family just felt indebted." Prince Chen!"

These words must have been held back in the queen mother's heart for a long time, and the queen mother spoke very quickly: "Both are sons of the Ai family, with the same background but completely different status. When they were young, the queen mother and the first emperor favored the emperor. Well, the Ai family doesn't care much about Prince Chen, who can still love him? Now the emperor has always been jealous of Prince Chen, if the Ai family doesn't protect the youngest son, who can protect him?"

"What the Ai family hoped for was that their brothers would live in harmony and govern Dayan well together, but the emperor didn't understand the good intentions of the Ai family. Whenever he had the opportunity, he would mercilessly suppress Prince Chen. That is his own brother. !"

The Empress Dowager shook her head: "There are no fathers and sons in the royal family, let alone brothers. There is only one dragon chair, and the emperor does not need someone to rule the court with him, nor does he need someone to interfere with his decision-making all the time. For the stability of Dayan, the Ai family will not allow."

The empress dowager's gentle tone made people feel like spring breeze, and there was a deep meaning of wisdom hidden in her words.

"Go back and think about it yourself." After the Empress Dowager finished speaking, she let go of the Empress Dowager's arm and went back to Xihe Palace.

The queen mother looked at the back of the empress dowager going away, and snorted coldly.If she was so persuasive, she should have figured it out after all these years.She doesn't understand what the Empress Dowager said, and she doesn't need to understand. She only knows that no matter what, no one can touch her young son!
In the imperial study room, Emperor Ming came down from behind the dragon case, and slowly paced back and forth in front of everyone.

"You can hear clearly, what is the truth, I will give you another chance to tell the truth, otherwise it will be too late for you to regret it when I find out! Not only will I not spare you, but the Queen Mother will not spare you either!"

Several people in the second room of the Qi family were sweating coldly behind their backs, and Qi Zhou was especially afraid, but the truth must never be revealed, and they could only insist that they were instructed by Mu Nuanqing.

Second Master Qi has his own calculations in his mind. As long as they don't bluntly say that he is Prince Chen, they will not offend Prince Chen to death. As for Mu Nuanqing, it is not certain whether she can escape this catastrophe. On the side of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Prime Minister Mu I have already given up a daughter, so what's the difficulty in giving up another daughter?As long as there are enough benefits, Prime Minister Mu's anger may not be appeased.

In the short time just now, Li Cangze had already understood that the emperor's intentions were obvious, that he was going to take this opportunity to suppress him, and he would not stop until his goal was achieved, not even giving face to his mother.

Li Cangze changed his mind, and did not refute the words of Qi Changsheng and others, but insisted that he was never involved in the embezzlement case of disaster and silver, and knew nothing about the existence of those gold and silver.

Old Madam Qi was in a state of surprise and wondered whether Qi Xiushen and the others were telling the truth, or if they were blaming Mu Nuanqing.But she is the one who really doesn't know anything, so she can't insert a word.

Yingchu and Qi Changjin didn't say a word, they only looked at each other occasionally, and could see the sneer in each other's eyes.This is a family that usually loves each other. When a disaster is imminent, the husband and uncle will unanimously blame Mu Nuanqing for their crimes. It is really a tacit understanding.
