Chapter 110 Victory
Sun Xian's interrogation soon came to an end.
Under Dongchang's enthusiastic reminder, Pang Bao and Liu Cheng finally remembered how to plan to assassinate Zhu Changluo with the assassin Zhang Yuan.
After obtaining the confessions of Pang Bao and Liu Cheng, Sun Xian went to find Empress Dowager Li to return to his life without stopping.
When Queen Mother Li saw the confession submitted by Sun Xian, Queen Mother Li's chest heaved with anger!
After Empress Dowager Li read it, she said angrily: "You bastard! With the imperial concubine's momentum, you dare to do such a crazy thing! Come on, call the emperor."
Empress Dowager Li directly called Emperor Wanli over. She wanted to show Emperor Wanli what kind of snake-hearted woman he loved!
For the sake of the throne, he actually dared to suppress the queen! For the sake of his son, he actually dared to scheme against the eldest son of the emperor!
This is not taking the Ming Dynasty into consideration!
When Emperor Wanli heard the eunuch from Cining Palace saying that Empress Dowager Li invited him to come over, Emperor Wanli immediately had a bad premonition in his heart!
However, Emperor Wanli had no choice but to be obedient and obey Empress Dowager Li's call to go to Cining Palace.
After arriving at the Cining Palace, Emperor Wanli carefully sat in his wheelchair and bowed slightly to the Empress Dowager Li: "My sons, please see your mother."
Queen Mother Li looked at Emperor Wanli and said, "Come and sit."
At this time, the eunuch behind Emperor Wanli carefully pushed Emperor Wanli to the side of Queen Mother Li.
Queen Mother Li handed the confession in her hand to Emperor Wanli, and Queen Mother Li said: "Take a good look and see what kind of person your dear Concubine Zheng is behind your back."
Emperor Wanli wiped his sweat and then took the confession from Queen Mother Li.
Emperor Wanli quickly browsed the contents of the confession. Emperor Wanli really didn't expect that Concubine Zheng would become like this. She actually instigated Pang Bao and Liu Cheng to do such a crazy thing!
She actually said she wanted to kill Zhu Changluo more than once in Yikun Palace! This evidence of guilt is really terrifying.
Emperor Wanli couldn't believe this was true. Emperor Wanli looked at Sun Siam and asked unwillingly: "Sun Siam, are all these true?"
Sun Xian was too frightened to answer directly. Sun Xian said: "Your Majesty, these are all given by Pang Baoliu. I don't dare to add any exaggeration."
Indeed, Sun Xian did not add any fuel or jealousy. Instead, after Pang Bao and Liu Cheng couldn't stand the torture, they began to talk about everything.
Including the angry words they said when Concubine Zheng lost her temper in Yikun Palace, they also confessed one by one. Now, these usually innocuous angry words turned out to be irrefutable testimony!
After Zhu Changluo learned about this, he couldn't help but be surprised! Concubine Zheng was a god assist!
Now, Zhu Changluo was really injured in the attack, and he was seriously injured, and he was still lying in Jingyang Palace.
Emperor Wanli was extremely frightened. He said to Empress Dowager Li in a panic: "Mother, Concubine Zheng is not such a person. Although she has a little temper, I know her. She just doesn't forgive others. She definitely does these things.
It won’t come out.”
Empress Dowager Li was really disappointed to hear that Emperor Wanli still defended Concubine Zheng blindly.
How could a son like this be born? It turns out he is not like this!
Empress Dowager Li said: "What does the emperor think? Now that there are witnesses, Chang Luo was also attacked and lying on the bed. How can you let the Ai family believe that Concubine Zheng has no ill intentions? If she didn't, why would she?
Said these crazy words in Yikun Palace? If she hadn't, how could the two slaves Pang Bao and Liu Cheng take it upon themselves to find Zhang Yuan, a vicious man, to break into the palace and assassinate him?"
After questioning Emperor Wanli, Empress Dowager Li educated her: "Emperor, the world's mouths cannot be stopped. You are still protecting Concubine Zheng, and you are harming her. Do you want to see her really killed by you yourself?"
Are you willing to die at that moment?"
After Emperor Wanli heard what Empress Dowager Li said, the belief he held on to in his heart suddenly collapsed. He really didn't want to believe that Concubine Zheng had become like this.
However, the witnesses and physical evidence are all there now! The object of nightmare in Kunning Palace is indeed from the nine-satin gold brocade in Yikun Palace. Zhu Changluo was indeed injured by Pang Bao and Liu Cheng's fair-weather friends who broke into the palace.
Each of these points are directed at Concubine Zheng, and Emperor Wanli can't think of any good reason to excuse Concubine Zheng.
However, Emperor Wanli still did not want Concubine Zheng to die. So he begged Queen Mother Li, "Can the Queen Mother spare Concubine Zheng once?"
Empress Dowager Li looked at the pleading Emperor Wanli. She was really sad for his misfortune and angry at him for not fighting!
Why is this son so obsessed with this woman? Will the Ming Dynasty be ruined in his hands?
Empress Dowager Li finally relented and said: "Whether Concubine Zheng can be spared is not up to the Ai family. It is up to you. The Ai family can order a silence in the palace about the nightmare scandal. However, the Ai family cannot stop the attack on Chang Luo.
It lives in the mouth of the world. It is up to you, the emperor, to think of your own solution."
Emperor Wanli asked anxiously: "What can I do? Please teach me, Queen Mother."
Empress Dowager Li took a deep breath and said: "You appoint Chang Luo as the crown prince, and then ask Concubine Zheng to kneel down and beg Chang Luo for forgiveness. Maybe this can stop the people in the world from talking!"
"What!"
Emperor Wanli looked at Empress Dowager Li in disbelief. He did not expect that Empress Dowager Li would actually make such a move for him.
Empress Dowager Li glanced at Emperor Wanli: "What? Are you unwilling to save Concubine Zheng? Chang Luo will not forgive her, the Ai family will not forgive him, and the officials outside the palace will not forgive her. You should come to an end.
Otherwise, you, the emperor, will never have peace."
Emperor Wanli burst into tears, knowing that the method Empress Dowager Li told him was the most useful method at the moment.
After Zhu Changluo is registered, the officials will be satisfied. Only after Zhu Changluo forgives Concubine Zheng, the officials will give up. Only in this way can Concubine Zheng be rescued from this fatal fire.
Otherwise, if this matter is allowed to ferment and the world's public opinion turns against Concubine Zheng, even if he is the emperor, he will not be able to protect Concubine Zheng.
Therefore, Emperor Wanli finally cried and said: "I follow the wishes of my mother."
When Sun Xian heard the news that Emperor Wanli had agreed to appoint Zhu Changluo as the crown prince, his body couldn't help but tremble with excitement.
It’s completely stable now!
Soon, the decision of the Cining Palace spread throughout the capital. When the officials heard that Emperor Wanli was willing to appoint Zhu Changluo as the crown prince, they all celebrated, thinking that this was their victory!
When Zhu Changluo, who was lying on the bed to recuperate, heard the news, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. After a thousand twists and turns, he finally achieved his wish.
Wei Zhongxian, who was serving Zhu Changluo, immediately knelt down to Zhu Changluo and congratulated him, "I congratulate His Highness the Crown Prince!"
Zhu Changluo smiled and said, "I can't mention this again. I'll talk about it later."
Chapter completed!
