"Concubine Chu has entered the palace, but her hands and eyes are very bright. Have you forgotten the benefits she gave to the official who was in charge of the Ministry of Justice at that time?" Yu Jiujiu's little mouth curled up slightly, and she picked up an account book with her little hand.
, "I know that Mrs. Chu will definitely say that this kind of thing is unfounded. I can't say it is true with just one mouth. But fortunately, the account books of the bribes accepted by this official back then have been preserved."
As she said that, she picked up another object, which was a book registered by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. "On this one, it is clearly recorded that there is an antique vase, which was a gift from the late emperor to Concubine Chu, but it should have been in the records of Concubine Chu.
The gifts from the concubine's palace appear in this account book. What's particularly important is that this vase is a single vase, and there is only one in the world.
"How else does Mrs. Chu want to deny it?
"Ah, I see. Concubine Chu can also say that this vase must be a fake and it is to slander you, right?"
I have to say that Yu Jiujiu finished what Mrs. Chu said.
Concubine Chu had a cold face, and she could only think of another excuse to say: "This is indeed a slander against me! The late emperor did give me this vase, but the vase was already there before I left the palace.
It was accidentally lost. Even if it ends up in the hands of an official, it has nothing to do with me! The late emperor knew me, and I always ignored those officials. I didn’t even know who the official in charge of the Sixth Department was, so how could I go there?
Bribing officials from the Ministry of Punishment? This is simply nonsense!"
After saying this, Yu Jiujiu wanted to praise her, she was such a pure and innocent old white lotus.
"Well, it's really good. She deserves to be Mrs. Chu. What she said is exactly what I expected." Yu Jiujiu said with a sweet smile on her face, approvingly.
"What do you mean by that?" Concubine Chu felt inexplicably guilty due to her tone.
"Literally, I'm complimenting you."
Yu Jiujiu spoke very straightforwardly, lazily supporting her chin with one small hand, looking at her and saying, "Tranny Chu has always been smart, and pursued perfection in everything she did, and paid attention to details. Unfortunately, on New Year's Eve twenty-four years ago, Mrs. Chu
The concubine was named a noble concubine, and I got the hot golden concubine seal. I can’t wait to stamp your seal everywhere.
"This antique vase is valuable and has its own story. When the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent it over, there was also a booklet in the brocade box containing the vase, which explained why there was only one vase instead of
In pairs.
"The concubine wanted to bribe the officials with this valuable vase, so she naturally wanted to show its value, so she stamped the gold seal of the concubine that was still warm on the booklet she carried with her on the vase! What a coincidence,
The imperial concubine's gold seal and the vase were found together in the official's home."
Yu Jiujiu said and gave Yin Yu a wink.
Yin Yu immediately ordered someone to bring in a brocade box that was half an arm long. When he opened it, he saw that it was a beautiful cloisonné enamel vase.
Yu Jiujiu picked up the book, opened it and showed it to Concubine Chu: "Let's see, is this the imperial concubine's seal of yours?"
The imperial concubine's seal is engraved with the imperial concubine's own title and cannot be faked.
As long as the stamp is taken and checked, the authenticity can be found out. Even if Mrs. Chu wants to rely on it to be fake, her efforts will be in vain.
But after so many years, when the late emperor had rewarded her with so many good things, she just randomly picked one worth enough to bribe the official and gave it away. How could she still remember what the vase looked like?
At this time, Concubine Chu glanced at the vase and immediately turned away with a guilty conscience.
Because this vase does look familiar to her, she can be sure that it was something she once owned, and she must have given it to the official.
But if it's just like this, you want her to admit it?
Then Yu Jiujiu underestimated her too much!
"I didn't expect that Princess Lingfu would go to such great lengths to slander me. The imperial concubine's treasure seal had already been taken back before I left the palace. Perhaps it was stolen and stamped on this casually made-up book. It cannot be false, but
It doesn’t mean that this vase belongs to me. These account books and the registration book of the Ministry of Internal Affairs can all be faked."
Concubine Chu refused to admit it. After saying this, she looked at Emperor Xuanping behind Yu Jiujiu and said: "The emperor doesn't really think that what Princess Lingfu said is true, right? But I think it's all false.
It’s ridiculous! Just because you hate me, you didn’t hesitate to spend such a high price to frame me, and even bribed court officials to cooperate with her in the fraud. Your Majesty, please do justice for me and restore my innocence!”
Her words sounded so righteous.
So much so that Emperor Xuanping almost thought that she was indeed innocent.
"Taifei, I said today's case will be handed over to Xiao Jiu'er for interrogation. That means Xiao Jiu'er will be responsible. If you want to ask for innocence, you can only ask Xiao Jiu'er for it! It's useless to tell me.
!" However, today's Emperor Xuanping is very disrespectful.
Concubine Chu suddenly looked embarrassed.
She wanted to pretend to shed a few more tears, but before she started to perform the exercises, she suddenly remembered how Emperor Xuanping had ridiculed her before, and she immediately stopped.
"Since the Emperor has said so, please ask Princess Lingfu to come up with real evidence that can prove that I bribed the Minister of Justice! Don't use these specious things that cannot be used as conclusive evidence to continue to frame me!" She still said
It is the tone of righteous speech.
However, Yu Jiujiu suddenly raised his eyebrows.
I have been arguing with her for so long just to wait for Concubine Chu to make a mistake!
At this time, Yu Jiu Jiu heard the loopholes in Mrs. Chu's words and did not remind her, but continued to dig holes for her: "Really, but this vase was indeed found from the official's house, and it was handed over by the official himself.
It was given to Yin Shaoqing. When he heard that it was his father who ordered the investigation, he was so frightened that he did anything."
As she said that, she took out another envelope with her little hand, her black and white eyes flashed with a smart and cunning light, and continued, "Does the concubine know that this is a confession written by this official? Now, he has already
Following Yin Shaoqing to the capital, he is waiting to identify the concubine and atone for his sins!"
Yu Jiujiu said it very categorically.
As soon as Princess Chu heard that the official not only wrote a confession, but also came to the capital to identify her personally, she suddenly felt that Yu Jiujiu was really trying to force her to confess. She even started telling such lies?
She immediately retorted angrily and subconsciously: "You're talking nonsense! That Liu Chuan, he died ten years ago! How could he write a confession in person and come to the capital? It can only be her memorial tablet.
bring it on!"
"Toffee!" On the side, Aunt Fanghua finally heard something was wrong and quickly called her to remind her.
