Rebirth of the Abandoned Concubine: The Poison Goddess Doctor

Chapter 523 Asylum
"Your Majesty, I beg your majesty to be the master for your ministers!" Someone started, and all the ministers wailed and kowtowed, as if they would never stop if the emperor punished the culprit.

Tai Changqing, who came out behind Hongguang Emperor, shrank his neck and hid behind Hongguang Emperor.

"I already know about this matter," Emperor Hongguang was very annoyed, and he still had to calm down patiently, "I have sent someone to thoroughly investigate this matter, and all the ministers will go back and wait for the news. One of you confessed."

"Your Majesty, the national temple collapsed, even if it was bombed with gunpowder, it would not fall so badly, and no one heard the sound at all. The national temple suddenly collapsed. This is probably a sign of heaven!" The minister said loudly, "It's like the area around Baihua Mountain, which has always been safe and sound, but a disaster suddenly occurred. It must be caused by that evildoer!"

"That's right! It must be evil spirits and disasters, and a bad omen descended from the sky. Please look into it, Your Majesty!" Another minister also said.

Then a few people agreed that since the founding of the country, the National Temple has never had any accidents. Even the imperial palace has been burned twice, but the National Temple has been safe and sound.Recently, there has been a lot of noise about evildoers, so it's hard for everyone not to think about it.

Tai Changqing rolled her eyes, and followed suit: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks what they said is very reasonable. It is definitely a monster! The emperor must catch the monster and burn it to death, so as to be worthy of those people who died in vain. , as well as the heroes of the past dynasties enshrined in the national temple!"

Emperor Hongguang's eyes moved slightly. He had been suspicious before, and seeing all the ministers say so, he became even more suspicious.

"Father, my son thinks that we should find out more first," the Ninth Prince said, "If someone caused the National Temple to collapse, but deliberately blamed it on the evildoer, wouldn't it be condoning and nurturing traitors!"

"Why does the Ninth Prince defend the evildoer so much?" Concubine Yin said, "The fact is obvious, but the Ninth Prince justifies the evildoer. Could it be that the Ninth Prince has some shady relationship with the evildoer?"

The Ninth Prince's eyes sharpened, but there was a hint of a smile on his face: "What the concubine said is really funny, I was just out of caution, I didn't want my father to be deceived by others, the concubine can't wait to convict me, I can take responsibility I'm sorry. I want to ask the concubine again, could it be that the real murderer is related to the concubine, and the concubine is so eager to fool around?"

Concubine Yin sneered: "It is true that there are people who are fooling around, but it is not my palace. As soon as Gongyi Keying entered the palace today, the Ninth Princes will protect him everywhere, and the relationship is really very close. Although I live in the palace, I also heard that In addition to the rumors outside, many people believe that Gongyi is an evildoer who harms the country and the people, and the nine princes are in the same boat with the evildoer, what kind of calculations they have in their hearts is really unpredictable!"

The Ninth Prince wanted to say more, but Emperor Hongguang said in a deep voice: "That's enough, there's no need to argue!"

Concubine Yin and the Ninth Prince bowed their heads, but the corner of Concubine Yin's mouth curled up into a smile, but the Prince's heart sank. The emperor was obviously on the side of Concubine Yin.

Emperor Hongguang's eyes fell on Yingchu, those Xuhuang birds were still surrounding Yingchu, Hongguang Emperor's eyes paused on Xuhuang birds for a moment, and said: "Gongyi Kexiong, what do you say about the rumors outside? "

Yingchu stood with his hands down, and said respectfully: "Most of the rumors are based on rumors. Three people become tigers, and the false ones can be said to be true. My daughter is just a weak woman. I don't know who I offended. It’s really a so-called evildoer, who killed those people long ago when the rumors first started to protect themselves, why should they fall to the point where they are making a fuss now? The emperor is wise, and I believe that the emperor will definitely restore my daughter’s innocence!”

"Sophistry!" Zhao Guogong scolded, "You demon girl, it doesn't matter if you harm Gongyi's family. My wife, children and granddaughter are all persecuted by you, and now you dare to deny the warning from heaven. Do you really think that the emperor and his officials are easy to fool?"

Qihou frowned, and couldn't help defending Yingchu: "Mr. Zhao, let's not talk about the right and wrong of my Gongyi family. What does the matter of your Qiguan's family have to do with Kejun? Don't put all the dirty water in Kejun. Splash on me!"

Zhao Guogong snorted coldly: "Gongyi's family raised a witch, and Qihou didn't even think about how to atone for his sins, but dared to cover up! Could it be that Qihou thought that with the help of a witch, he could become an enemy of the court and the people of the world ?!"

Qihou's complexion changed, and he said angrily: "This Marquis is just discussing the matter as it stands. Zhao Guogong has no distinction between public and private because of personal grievances. How can you slander me! You, Zhao Guogong, can represent the court and the world by yourself?"

"This old man didn't say that. I'm not the only one who testified that Gongyi is a witch. This old man just said it on behalf of everyone!" Zhao Guogong's expression changed slightly, and he said coldly.

Qihou looked around at the crowd, his heart sinking, and he said with a tense face: "If it is really confirmed that Gongyi is a witch, I will definitely not tolerate it! But before the emperor makes a decision, I will not allow it." Anyone who slanders her and the Gongyi family!"

He had already decided to give up Ke Yung, but in the end he felt unbearable and unwilling, especially seeing the Ninth Prince's full support for Ke Yung, he couldn't help but feel guilty, and at the same time, he also had a little hope that maybe Ke Yung could really turn the danger out, why didn't he try hard Fan?
But if Yung is convicted of being a witch, even if Gongyi's family escapes, their vitality will be greatly injured. If Yung can escape from desperation, it will also benefit Gongyi's family.If he was young, he would have fought without hesitation, but now he is old, has lost the vigor of his youth, and is ready to retreat without fighting.

Having made a decision in his heart, Qi Hou made a big gift to Emperor Hongguang, saying: "Your Majesty, this old minister begs the Emperor to investigate clearly. If Ke Yung is really a witch, this old minister will definitely kill her with his own hands and let the Emperor deal with her! If she was wronged and framed , I beg the emperor to make decisions for her and the veteran!"

Yingchu looked at Qihou in surprise, Qihou's intention to avoid suspicion was very obvious before, but he didn't expect to stand up and speak for her at this time.A gleam of warmth flashed in Yingchu's eyes, she remembered Qihou's kindness today in her heart.

The Ninth Prince also knelt down and said, "Royal Father, although I don't have much contact with Lord Qianji, I believe that she is by no means a witch. Please be careful, Royal Father!"

Emperor Hongguang looked at Marquis Qi, and then at his son, his brows knit into a knot.Qihou is an old minister of the imperial court, he can't ignore his pleading, Lao Jiu is also trying his best to protect the fairness, but I don't know if it is his own intention, or the empress and Baili family's intention.

Concubine Yin looked at Emperor Hongguang and smiled, and said: "Your Majesty, since Marquis Qi and the Ninth Prince are so persistent, if they don't find out clearly, they may not be convinced. Why don't you invite the Master of the National Teacher to come and let the National Teacher My lord, do the divination, the master's divination will never be wrong, and the truth will be revealed if Gongyi Keying is a witch or not."
