Ming Zizhan folded his arms and said with a smile: "Oh, you said it was a coincidence. It's not that I felt that the cell was too boring, so I just played hide and seek with Miss Yan. Who would have thought that the Queen?
Did you happen to run into me while you were yelling?"
This time, it was Ming Xingjian who coughed first and spoke: "Your Majesty, forgive me. Second brother, he was joking with the Queen. In fact, it was the rats in Tianzi No. 1 cell, so I made my own decision and let Miss Yan
Temporarily living in the cell next door,
I asked my second brother to catch the mice cleanly and then move them back. I never thought that the Queen happened to be here today, and this caused such a fuss. There is also the fault of the humble minister, please punish me."
After saying that, Ming Xingjian knelt down and opened his mouth to apologize to Emperor Zhao.
If Ming Xingjian was wrong, then Queen Pei was even more wrong!
After all, it was Empress Pei, not Ming Xingjian, who caused a disturbance in the Tianlao and disrupted the order of Dali Temple.
"My beloved, please get up. There is nothing wrong with what you did. However, the queen, as the lord of the middle palace, acted so recklessly. She was fined three months' salary and banned from the palace for one month as punishment."
Emperor Zhao wanted to turn big things into small things and turn them into nothing. This operation has always been his best.
As long as his bottom line is not touched, he can tolerate it infinitely, just to maintain the balance of the situation so that he can secure the throne under his butt.
But before Queen Pei could breathe a sigh of relief, Qi Jue spoke in a leisurely manner: "Father, don't be so hasty to punish me. I haven't said anything about the two things I want to say today."
"Why, Tianlao is not one of the things you want to say, Xiaojiu?"
Qi Jue slowly answered: "Six days ago, I issued a military order to take over the two cases that have been investigated. Moreover, during the investigation, I also discovered a major incident. Today, I came together to give my father a gift.
Big surprise.”
Hearing the words "big surprise" from Qi Jue's mouth, Emperor Zhao had a bad feeling for no reason.
"First, the real culprit behind the assassination case has been identified. The involvement between the Yuan family and the previous dynasty as mentioned by the assassin no longer exists at all. Instead, it was the mastermind behind the assassination who deliberately dragged his ministers into the trap in order to frame the Yuan family.
Made up."
Emperor Zhao was very confused, "Xiaojiu, what you said confused me. You have no interference with the Yuan family. Even if the Yuan family is really involved in the previous dynasty, how can you be dragged into the water?"
"The reason is very simple. The former dynasty has always been a taboo-like existence in the eyes of the father. Once touched, it will be killed without mercy, but the eyes of the son have always been intolerable. What's more, the son is now with the Yuan Dynasty.
Home is not irrelevant."
When he said this, Qi Jue looked at Yan Mingzhu and met her clear and clear eyes. His eyes softened in an instant, which was in sharp contrast to the cold and distant look just now.
When Concubine Zhuang heard the second half of the sentence, she hurriedly coughed and brought the topic back: "Jue'er, we're talking about the case. Don't get involved in other trivial matters."
These two people were flirting with each other in broad daylight under the mother's eyes. Did she think she was nothing, or was she blind?
"Who is so bold and bold that he dares to use such means and do it right under my nose?"
Oh, there are countless people who play tricks in front of him, not to mention, his own mind is as good as anyone else.
Qi Jue looked at Queen Pei and spoke slowly: "Apart from our most noble Lord of the Central Palace, the Empress, who else has such a bold ability?"
Queen Pei's face suddenly changed, her heart skipped a beat, but she quickly calmed down, stood up immediately, knelt down with a plop and cried out for injustice.
"Your Majesty, I am unjustly accused. I have no grievances with the Yuan family in the past and have no enmity recently. How can I frame the Yuan family? What's more, the Yuan family itself has been convicted of collaborating with the enemy and treason, and is only waiting for Dali Temple
The final judgment was made, how could I, the concubine, be so redundant and put so much thought into stepping on it again?"
Qi Jue sneered: "The Yuan family in the past was of no value to you, so you looked down upon it, but when you found out that the Yuan family was involved with me, it was completely different.
The Yuan family itself was imprisoned in the mansion for collaborating with the enemy. You expected that the Yuan family would not be able to escape from the crime of collaborating with the enemy. So even if you add another unfounded charge to him, the Yuan family would already be unable to protect itself.
,
When the two crimes are combined, everyone will push the wall down, and no one will care about the truth, and you can even predict that I will never stand by and watch this matter, and use the Yuan family to drag me into the water and make me completely fall out of favor.
This will allow your son to secure his position as Crown Prince, Queen Pei, you are really well-calculated!"
Undoubtedly, every word Qi Jue said hit Queen Pei's mind, but how could Queen Pei admit that under such circumstances, she could still tell lies without any guilt.
"Since you won't cry until you see the coffin, that's fine, witness."
What, a witness?
Queen Pei hurriedly looked back and saw a little girl coming in from outside, escorted by guards. The little girl looked nervous and seemed to be quite frightened.
And this little girl is the assassin's only biological sister!
Almost at a glance, Pei Duqin recognized her. After meeting Queen Pei's eyes, he nodded calmly.
Queen Pei clenched her palms. The assassin she bribed was dead. Even if Qi Jue brought a little girl, she would not be able to find any evidence!
The little girl walked to the center of the hall, knelt down with a trembling body and saluted, "Daughter of the people... pay homage to Your Majesty."
"Father, this little girl is the only sister of the assassin who assassinated her at the birthday party six days ago. When my subordinates found her, she was being assassinated by a group of men in black.
Fortunately, Erchen's people arrived in time and saved her life. Little girl, tell the truth, is there anyone in this hall who assassinated you that day?"
The little girl looked around carefully, her eyes lingering on Pei Duqin for a while, but she was not sure, so she could only look at Qi Jue helplessly.
"I...I can't recognize it for a moment."
Qi Jue was not in a hurry and just gave Ji Jingxue a look. Ji Jingxue understood immediately and stepped forward to detain Pei Duqin.
"Ji Jingxue, what are you doing? Let me go!"
Ji Jingxue said: "The situation is special, Second Young Master Pei, I'm offended."
It was said that he was offended, but Ji Jingxue's actions were not gentle at all. While restraining Pei Duqin, the guard next to him immediately stepped forward and put a felt hat on Pei Duqin's head.
He showed half of his face.
The little girl immediately pointed to Pei Duqin and shouted: "It's him, it's him! At that time, he was taking several people with him. He said he was in a hurry and wanted to ask me for a drink of water. I kindly gave them water, but I never thought
They actually barged in directly, armed with weapons, and wanted to kill me!"
