Splendid Pastoral

Chapter 323

"what happened?"

Because he didn't dare to move for a long time, Doctor Xiong ordered people to place Yinggui in a side room of the Longevity Palace.

After the emperor, queen mother and others heard the news, they rushed over immediately.

At this time Yinggui fell into a coma and had not yet woken up.

After listening to the emperor's questioning, Doctor Xiong knelt down in front of the emperor with a plop, "I can't do anything, I couldn't save the baby in Yinggui's womb, please forgive me."

As soon as the queen entered the door, she smelled a great smell of blood in the room, and she had already guessed the ending, and she was secretly happy.

It seems that everything is as I expected, Lady Ying irritated Zhao Min, Zhao Min missed and pushed Lady Ying into the water, and the baby in her stomach could not be kept. It really killed two birds with one stone, sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, this good news came without any effort .

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

I saw the crown princess knelt down with a plop, with a sad expression on her face, "It's all my daughter-in-law's fault."

The queen's face turned cold, and she hurriedly said in front of the emperor: "Crown princess, what are you doing? Get up quickly."

The queen's heart was in her throat, could it be that Zhao Min made the fetus in Yinggui's womb unsafe, could it be the crown princess?
This is a big trouble, Yinggui is pregnant with the long-awaited prince, how can Xiaochan get involved with the princess?
The crown princess kowtowed fiercely to the emperor: "It's all my fault for my daughter-in-law's failure to protect Noble Ying well, and Princess Ling got an opportunity to push her under the lake with one hand."

To say that the concubine's mind was quicker, when Doctor Xiong was examining Yinggui's pulse, she had already figured out what to say. After all, Yinggui was from the queen's camp, so she would definitely not betray herself.

After hearing what the crown princess said, the empress felt relieved.

The emperor's eyes switched back and forth between the faces of the princess and Zhao Min, and finally fixed on the face of the princess: "Say, what's going on?"

"Today, at the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet, my daughter-in-law rushed to the palace to celebrate the Empress Dowager's birthday. She felt a little bored during the banquet, so she wanted to go for a walk to get some air. Unexpectedly, she saw Ling Wangfei and Ying Guiren pulling by the lake from a distance. Pull and pull."

The princess paused for a moment, with a look of worry on her face, and then continued: "Daughter-in-law is thinking, this lakeside is dangerous, if the two of you quarrel here, it will be bad if there is an accident, Mrs. Ying is pregnant. Dragon fetus, the body is very precious, but there is no accident, so I plan to go forward to persuade him, but before I come to the front, I see Princess Ling pushing Yinggui into the lake middle."

"Then..." The crown princess hesitated, purposely whetting the emperor's appetite.

"Then what happened?" The emperor scolded angrily, impatient to know what happened next.

"Then the daughter-in-law saw that the mother-in-law jumped down from the lake to rescue Yinggui. When Yinggui was rescued, the guards just arrived. It was Princess Ling who directed and acted in this scene of pushing and saving people." .”

After hearing that the Crown Princess clarified the ins and outs of the matter, the emperor's complexion was too dark, but he still endured the anger in his heart, after all, Gu Lingqing is now leading troops to fight.

"Princess Ling, do you have anything to say about the Crown Princess' remarks?"

"At that time, there were only four people, the minister's wife, the crown princess, Gu Nai, and Yinggui, who were present for others. Gu Nai's testimony was countless. After all, she is my personal nun. What she said, everyone must not agree. believe."

There was a hint of complacency in the downcast eyes of the Crown Princess, seeing how she was still sophistrying, even if she had ten mouths, she still couldn't speak clearly.

"However, the scene I saw was different from what the princess said. Since no one else was there to testify, you might as well listen to the scene I saw."

The princess snorted coldly in her heart, it was just a pointless struggle before dying, no matter what she said, this time, she couldn't escape no matter what.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the emperor naturally did not allow any unfair things to happen: "Tell me, what did you see then?"

"My wife also felt chest tightness occasionally, so she went out to get some air, but after standing by the lake for a while, Lady Ying came, and my wife chatted with her by the lake, unexpectedly, the Crown Princess also came over after a while."

Zhao Min paused for a moment, looked up at the Crown Princess, with a hint of sternness in his eyes: "Without saying a few words, the Crown Princess wanted to push the minister's wife into the lake, Gu Nanny quickly pulled the minister's wife, The Crown Princess didn't stop, but directly pushed Yinggui who was standing behind the servant into the lake."

Zhao Min's words were very clear and loud, completely different from what the Crown Princess said just now.

"My wife doesn't know how to swim, so Nanny Gu jumped into the lake without hesitation and rescued Mrs. Ying, Your Majesty. This is what my wife saw."

Zhao Min concealed the step of rescuing Yinggui who was drowning, presumably the Crown Princess would not tell this scene, because there would never be such a thing in her story just now.

In fact, my own treatment method will not be accepted by people in this era, and speaking out will only increase the emperor's suspicion.

"Your Majesty, Princess Ling just took the opportunity to think of this set of rhetoric during the chaos just now. My daughter-in-law has no old enmity with her, so why push her?"

"That's right..." Zhao Min showed a wry smile on his face, "This is what I want to ask, I don't know how much the Crown Princess has a grievance with me, and she wants to put me to death."

"Concubine Ling thinks too highly of herself. I have too many things to worry about every day. Why bother to harm you? Why do you choose to do it on a day like the Queen Mother's birthday? I have always respected the Queen Mother, so I definitely can't do this." matter."

Because the Crown Princess had already made a final decision for Zhao Min, she didn't appear to be in the slightest panic when she spoke at the moment.

The two insisted on their own opinions, and it was difficult for the emperor to make a decision for a while.

"Your Majesty." The Empress said in a timely manner, "The Crown Princess has always been dignified and prudent, virtuous and virtuous, and my concubine never believed that she would do such a thing as pushing Mrs. Ying into the lake, and my concubine dared to protect her. "

Zhao Min has always maintained an attitude of not causing trouble, but now that he has troubled himself to find the door, and it is still a major matter of turning around, he will not tolerate it.

"If the case can be settled just by relying on the Queen's guarantee, what else does the Ministry of Criminal Justice need to do?"

"Bold!" The queen glared, "How dare you talk to me like this. Judging by your arrogant and domineering attitude, you are definitely the one who pushed Lady Ying into the lake. As for the reason behind it, throw her into the sky prison and interrogate her." For three days and three nights, I don't believe that you didn't speak."

"I heard that the Queen has always been generous and benevolent." A sneer flashed in Zhao Min's eyes, "I didn't expect to come up with such a cruel and merciless method."
