Looking up, the Emperor held his temple with one hand, closed his eyes, and leaned his elbow on the armrest of the dragon chair. He remained motionless despite the quarrels among the courtiers.
Mr. Jing stopped talking after questioning Yan Yushi. Before Jiang Yankun could use his trolling skills, he forcibly covered his mouth.
Yan Yushi lay on the ground and expressed his loyalty for a long time, but did not hear any sound from the emperor.
For a long time——
The emperor opened his eyes and looked out sideways. The officials standing in the front row seemed to have their throats suddenly strangled, and the quarrel stopped abruptly.
As soon as the voices of the people in front fell silent, those behind them also became quiet. Only Yan Yushi was still kowtowing, especially his voice begging for mercy: "The respect that I have for the emperor is like the endless stream of a river. How could Wei Chen be a spy of an enemy country? Everything Wei Chen did was for the sake of the emperor and the Great Yan Dynasty!"
"Snapped!"
An open booklet was thrown from the high platform next to Yan Yushi's knees, and the emperor's majestic voice sounded: "Someone wrote a booklet to impeach Yan Yushi, saying that you spoiled your concubines and destroyed your wives, allowed your concubines to beat and scold your first wife, and abused your legitimate son. My legitimate daughter, did you force your wife to hang herself?"
The emperor's tone was calm, even the tone of his voice did not fluctuate, but Yan Yushi felt the ultimate oppression from his calm tone.
There was deathly silence in the hall, and large beads of sweat flowed out of Yan Yushi's receding hairline. In less than a moment, the back of his official uniform was soaked with cold sweat.
Your Majesty...how could this happen?
How did the emperor know about his family affairs?
No, who impeached him and told the emperor about his family affairs?
Mr. Jing raised his eyebrows at Jiang Yankun and said in a low voice with some pride: "How's it going? Isn't this a good way to pull the trigger? I've told you, don't fight with them with these useless words, just fight them directly If his lifeline is blocked, can he still jump up and down?"
Jiang Yankun looked like he was being taught: "Master Taifu is still very clever, and the students admire him."
Mr. Jing has been teaching and educating people since the death of Concubine Jing. His academy is a holy place that many students dream of.
Jiang Yankun also studied in his academy for a period of time when he was young. Later, because he had to prepare for the imperial examination, his family moved to the capital.
Therefore, it is reasonable for him to call himself a student.
Mr. Jing really regarded him as his student, taking care of him and helping him in everything.
The most important thing is that Jiang Yankun is the grandfather of his great-great-grandson, so they are all part of the same family!
"Yan Yushi?"
The emperor sat upright and looked at the limp Yan Yushi with indifferent eyes: "Why don't you speak? Weren't you very good at speaking just now? Why do you spoil your concubine and destroy your wife, and allow your evil concubine to bully your wife and daughter? It's for me and for the sake of the great nation. Yan Dynasty?"
Yan Yushi was so panicked that he didn't dare to talk to him at all. If his legs weren't kneeling, he might have started to shake.
"Snapped!"
A jade ring was smashed at Yan Yushi's feet, and the flying jade shards wiped his cheek, leaving a shallow blood stain.
Before he could raise his hand to wipe it, the emperor's scolding came like thunder: "The queen has been in the palace for more than three years. She is kind and reasonable, and everyone in the palace praises her. She also adopted the fourth prince and gave birth to the prince. Now she is pregnant again. , she took care of my harem in order, so that I have no worries and can concentrate on handling the affairs of the court. I ask myself, there is no better wife than her. You, the courtiers who eat the emperor's salary, should be on my side. You stand to share my worries, but they are here to cause trouble for me. What’s wrong? Are your backyards clean?"
"You are so concerned about my harem, why don't I also tidy up the backyard for you all?"
These ministers who opposed Jiang Xinyue becoming empress and asked the emperor to depose the queen were simply because the Jiang family climbed too fast and stood too high, which affected their interests.
But among them, no matter whether they are corrupt officials or honest officials, which one in the back house is completely clean?
He doesn't even understand his own housework, so he just wants to reach out to his harem.
Who gave them the courage?
The emperor was so angry that no one dared to speak.
In Shun'an Palace, Jiang Xinyue gathered all the servants in the courtyard. Even Huang Yanyu, who was poisoned and lying on the bed, was helped to sit on a chair and wait.
The nuns, palace maids, and eunuchs replied one by one.
Shuangjiang had a solemn face and said with a sense of intimidation: "Who suggested to cook Ganoderma lucidum chicken soup for Concubine Liang?"
"It's Chef Zhang from the small kitchen. She said that Concubine Liang was infected with cold and the Ganoderma lucidum in the warehouse was ready for her to use. She said it can clear the lungs and relieve coughs."
"The Queen Mingjian, this slave also heard what Aunt Zhou said, saying that Concubine Liang came back from outside and looked a little uncomfortable. When taking inventory in the warehouse during the day, this slave saw Ganoderma lucidum, so she suggested this."
The cook named Zhou Auntie hurriedly said: "But I didn't lie! I did hear Concubine Liang's cough, so I said a few more words. Who knew that the little kitchen heard it, and I didn't even know that? Ganoderma lucidum is poisonous, and it is not the chicken soup stewed by slaves, so..."
"okay!"
Shuang Jiang interrupted her: "Let you each talk about the chicken soup that day. I don't let you excuse yourself. Who has problems and who does not have problems? The Queen will make her own decision."
Then Mrs. Zhou muttered and shut up.
Shuxiang looked at Huang Yanyu with doubts in her heart, but she didn't dare to say it openly.
"The Queen, Concubine Shu, Concubine Ru, brought Ye Guiren, Tong Xiuyuan, and Shi Xiuyi to visit Concubine Liang."
At the gate of Shun'an Palace, a large number of masters and servants came in. Concubine Shu and Guiren Ye were really concerned about Concubine Liang's situation, so after seeing Jiang Xinyue, they hurried in.
Ru Fei made it clear that she was here to watch the fun. She stood behind Jiang Xinyue and stopped leaving. She smiled and said, "Is the Queen interrogating the prisoners?"
The eyes of the palace maids and eunuchs all over the courtyard showed dissatisfaction.
They are not prisoners, why should they be interrogated like this?
It was clear that the Queen had a guilty conscience. If she hadn't poisoned the Ganoderma lucidum, how could the Liang Fei have vomited blood after drinking the chicken soup?
It’s really a thief shouting to catch a thief!
Rufei has only been in the palace for a short time, and the image of Jiang Xinyue in her heart has always been that of a well-behaved and clever little kitten. She got this post by charming the emperor and acting coquettishly with him.
She is very friendly to the concubines in the harem, and never puts on airs like a queen. She pays her respects every day in a sparse manner, and the people below her make mistakes without being severely punished.
So this gave her the illusion that Jiang Xinyue was a soft persimmon and could be bullied at will.
The Queen is only eighteen years old. She is already in her twenties. No matter what, she is still a sister.
In Goguryeo, everyone is the elder, and the younger generation must be respectful.
