Queen Pei immediately retorted: "Nonsense, Your Majesty, this is a trap! They covered Qin'er's face, how could this little girl recognize the person? I see, it's King Dingbei he's looking for
We couldn't find the murderer, so we caught my concubine and bumped into her, so I poured all the dirty water on my concubine!"
"If the Queen's eyes are bad, she can donate them. She's not covering her face. It's clearly only half of it. Besides, if someone goes to kill people and silence them, their appearance will be exposed, so naturally they have to be removed.
Cover your face,
After covering it up, the features on her face became obvious, and the little girl could recognize him at a glance. Doesn't that also prove that the person who wanted to kill her was Pei Duqin?"
Not to be outdone, Ming Zizhan retorted, and Queen Pei sneered: "But this is all your guess. How credible is the words of a little girl who is no longer than a hairpin? I can't say for sure.
Was he bribed by someone and deliberately came to bite me?"
Hey, this old witch, she really can’t shed tears until she sees the coffin!
"Don't worry, Queen. If there is no conclusive witness or material evidence, I would not dare to frame you, the majestic master of the palace, at will. Now that the witness has been spoken, the next step will naturally be material evidence."
Feiyu walked into the main hall and presented a physical evidence.
Qi Jue slowly said: "Father, this physical evidence is the murder record left by the assassin. To be precise, this assassin is a well-known professional killer in the world. As long as the price is in place, no matter the civilians,
Or the royal family and nobles,
She would blend in with various identities to intercept and kill the target, and our queen was really generous. In order to ensure that nothing went wrong, she gave this killer a large sum of money.
This huge sum of money not only bought the life of the assassination target, but also the life of the killer. Once the assassination failed, she would have to die. Fortunately, the killer had a habit of keeping detailed records of every business he received.
Registered."
Queen Pei sneered and said, "It's really ridiculous. A murder ledger was taken from someone who doesn't know where it was, and it was randomly attached to me. What evidence do you have to prove that the business recorded in this ledger belongs to me?"
"I wonder if Queen Pei still remembers this phoenix hairpin? If I remember correctly, this hairpin should have been put on by your father himself when you were canonized as queen, right?"
When she saw the phoenix hairpin in Qi Jue's hand, Queen Pei's eyes finally showed disbelief and panic.
She knew that one of her phoenix hairpins was lost. She thought it was lost by some palace servant, but she didn't expect that it was stolen by the killer!
"The queen has lived in the palace for a long time and lived a life of fine clothing and fine food, so she doesn't know much about how people in the world can save their lives. She left a valuable item on the buyer's body to avoid being silenced by the buyer after completing the task.
, this phoenix hairpin is the best evidence."
Emperor Zhao looked at the murder account book and saw that the phoenix hairpin that only the queen could wear was still the phoenix hairpin that he had given to Queen Pei himself before, and he was furious.
He slapped the table with a snap, "Ms. Pei, you are so brave. You dare to hire someone to assassinate you in the palace. You don't take me seriously at all!"
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, I am unjustly accused. Although this phoenix hairpin belongs to me, but... I lost it a few days ago. I asked the maids to look for it for a long time. It must be... It must be..."
It was stolen by someone with intentions to frame my concubine!"
Ming Zizhan laughed at this, "Why don't you just say that His Highness King Dingbei stole it and wanted to frame you?"
"King Dingbei has always refused to deal with his concubines, and it is impossible not to take advantage of this opportunity to defeat his concubines. After all, if his concubines are gone, then the crown prince's position as heir apparent will be in jeopardy. Dingbei
Wang Zhaozhao's wolfish ambition is really terrifying, Your Majesty!"
Emperor Zhao was overly angry and heard Queen Pei mention the important point. Regardless of whether Queen Pei did this or not, Queen Pei was right about one thing.
If Queen Pei is convicted and the Pei family falls, then the prince is finished.
In this way, the balance in the court that he has maintained over the years will be broken.
Although he prefers Qi Jue, his younger son, he also knows that Qi Jue is too capable. Without the restraint of the prince, the courtiers will definitely side with Qi Jue.
As a result, he, the emperor, may not be able to sit still.
"This...what the queen said is not unreasonable..."
Qi Jue could clearly see the change in expression on Emperor Zhao's face.
Over the years, Qi Jue knows better than anyone what kind of personality Emperor Zhao is.
Whether it is love, family affection or other emotions, to Emperor Zhao, they are not as important as the throne under his butt.
As long as he can secure the throne, he can ignore all rights and wrongs, be blind and blind, and try to make this matter a big deal and a trivial matter.
But this time, Qi Jue would not give him this chance. Before he could finish speaking, he added: "The second thing I want to say is closely related to the first one, which is the case of Erchen's poisoning.
To be precise, the target of this poisoning should not have been Erchen, but Erchen’s mother and concubine.”
This time, it was Concubine Zhuang who was shocked, "What, this poison was given to me?"
"The poison was put in the cup of Buddha Jumping over the Wall. Almost everyone in the palace knows that I rarely eat meat, so I didn't have this dish on my table. But that day, I suddenly thought
After eating, the concubine will give your cup of Buddha Jumping over the Wall to your son, does the concubine still remember it?"
Of course Concubine Zhuang remembered it, and she immediately became excited, "How could this happen? If I knew that the cup of Buddha Jumping over the Wall was poisonous, even if I ate them all, I would never let Jue'er touch them. It's me... I'm the worse one.
Killed my son!"
"Concubine, this matter has nothing to do with you. If you want to be held accountable, you should also ask the person who poisoned me. Queen, you took my mother's life at her birthday banquet and turned the birthday banquet into a funeral banquet. In this way,
, the assassination plus the death of the protagonist of the banquet,
Both my father and I will be hit by the bad news one after another, and will not care about the truth, but will blame all the faults on the innocent Yuan family. My mother and concubine died, and I
drag down the water,
Letting the Yuan family take the blame, killing three birds with one stone, not only solves the biggest obstacle, but also allows you to escape unscathed. No one in this world is smarter than you!"
Queen Pei was still very tough: "You are talking nonsense, saying that I instigated the assassination, and now you blame this palace for the poisoning. King Dingbei, you clearly can't find the murderer, so you just
You have changed your tactics and want me to be the scapegoat. What evidence do you have!"
