The emperor's brows were furrowed, and the ravine in the middle could trap a fly. However, Concubine Tong was immersed in the joy of exposing Jiang Xinyue and did not notice the emperor's displeasure at all.
"As far as I know, the relationship between the Queen and the Cui family is not ordinary. It just so happens that a few new servants have been admitted to the concubine's house in the past few days. They are the former apprentices of Cui Liyuan. They may know something about it."
It turns out that the day before yesterday, Concubine Tong asked the emperor for grace and allowed the Tong family members to enter the palace to accompany the second princess just for this purpose.
It's hard for her, she must have been preparing for the investigation for a long time.
And the fragments that suddenly flashed through Jiang Xinyue's mind also told her that her original body seemed to be related to Lan Xiaolou.
However, Lan Xiaolou was addicted to gambling at that time and did not cherish his true identity. He was so depressed that he listened to his family's arrangements and accompanied his eldest sister to the palace for the draft.
Just as she was gathering her thoughts, the two men and two women were already kneeling behind Lan Xiaolou.
"Common people, see the emperor, see the empress, see all noble masters, we are the apprentices and servants of the pear garden who were sold to the Tong family after Cuiliyuan closed. The common people call us Sanzi, who are responsible for the chores in the pear garden."
"Little Taohua, a folk girl, is the little apprentice of the Cui family. After the Cui family quit the Cui Liyuan, the folk girl..."
"I am not interested in your life experience, Concubine Tong, what exactly do you want to say?"
Is it to prove that his Yue'er had a loved one before entering the palace, and that what she said about her love for him was all lies to him?
Concubine Tong, who was named, also knelt on the ground, showing an uneasy look: "Your Majesty, I also accidentally learned that the Queen had already made a lifelong contract with someone before entering the palace, and they were already named husband and wife. Concubine After hesitating for a long time, he still dared to tell the truth to the emperor. The Jiang family committed a crime of deceiving the emperor by sending a daughter who was engaged to another person to the palace. Please ask the emperor to interrogate it clearly and don't be blinded by someone who is pretending to be in love. "
"What are you talking about?"
Ruan was so angry that her eyes were red: "The Queen has made a promise to others, how come I, the mother-in-law, don't know about it at all? My sister Yue did not leave the front door or step forward before she left the pavilion. She is the most polite and sensible person. You Who do you think, a lady from an official family who was raised by a noble family, would be betrothed to an actor?"
"Of course University Scholar Jiang did not marry the Queen to such a family, but didn't I say so? They have made a private decision for life!"
The more you say it, the more outrageous it becomes!
"If the emperor doesn't believe it, ask Xiao Taohua and they won't know the truth?"
The eyes of the Ninth Five Supreme Beings had a strong sense of oppression, as if they were saying that if they told lies, they would be cut into pieces.
Little Taohua's lips and teeth were trembling, and she trembled: "It is true that the Queen rarely comes here when she is dressed as a woman, but she comes often when she is dressed as a man. Master Cui's room is always brightly lit, and many people in the garden have seen the Queen. She looks like a man in men's clothing, and...and Master Cui once introduced the Queen to someone close to her, saying...that she was his unmarried wife."
Quiet……
It was deathly quiet in the Imperial Garden.
The emperor's arm holding Jiang Xinyue had bulging veins, and there was a storm brewing in his eyes, as if a storm was about to come.
Cold sweat was streaming down Princess Yunyang's forehead, and her old bones were almost falling apart from fear.
What kind of evil was this?
It was a perfect love-making party, but it was all for her good grandson, and it ended up like this. She had done a great sin!
This Concubine Tong really doesn't understand the general situation.
No matter what happened before the Empress entered the palace, it was the draft mama who had passed the test.
She came in clean and innocent, and the past should be wiped out. What was she doing now to bring up old scores? Who hasn’t had a crush yet? Is that a damning sin?
Even if she is guilty, today is the engagement day between the second princess and Princess Yunyang's grandson. She should not shout about it in public and let everyone see the emperor's joke.
Wouldn't it be better to quietly report it to the emperor when no one is around?
If you are smart, if you want to bring down the Queen, you should talk to the Emperor in private and ask the Emperor to investigate in secret to catch them off guard.
Wouldn't it be more credible if the emperor found out on his own than if she exposed it?
"Bang!"
The emperor raised his foot and kicked the little peach blossom away. The woman vomited blood, rolled down the steps, and fell on the cobblestone road, not knowing whether she was alive or dead.
"ah……"
The ladies and ladies who were close to her screamed and ran away, turning their heads away in fear, not wanting to see the miserable condition of Little Peach Blossom.
"emperor!"
Concubine Tong exclaimed, her little face turned white instantly, and she said in shock: "Your Majesty, you..."
"Snapped!"
She also received a heavy slap on the face, her ears were still ringing, and she heard the emperor say: "Concubine Tong is guilty of making perjury, framed the queen, pulled down and beaten thirty times, and will be demoted from now on. A common man, relegated to the cold palace."
"Your Majesty! Everything I said is true. I didn't lie. Your Majesty, why are you so partial to the Queen? You are... really unconvincing!"
"Not convinced, are you?"
The emperor let go of Jiang Xinyue and gently placed her on the soft couch to sit down. He also took a soft cushion and put it on her waist so that she could sit more comfortably.
"bass!"
When Qingyu felt the direction in which the emperor was drawing his sword, he moved the hilt of the sword forward, then took a big step back. Without letting the emperor waste any effort, he drew out his sword and held it against the other so-called witness. On the neck: "Tell me, is what she just said true? I want to hear the truth. If there is even half a lie, I will chop off your heads right now."
Sanzi's neck was cut by the knife, and he felt the sting. His breathing was rapid, he was sweating all over, and he looked at Concubine Tong in horror.
The emperor's sword was heavy on his shoulder: "I'm asking you, what do you think she did?"
The third son swallowed and trembled even more: "Cao Min... Cao Min is just a handyman. He only heard... what Xiao Taohua said. Cao Min has never seen it with his own eyes. Cao Min... Cao Min is not... not from The one who was sold into the Tong Mansion right after leaving the Liyuan was...it was Concubine Tong who asked us to say so."
"Quite honest."
The emperor took the black iron sword away, and Qingyu quickly took it, put it back into his scabbard, and glanced at the angry magpie.
My sister-in-law should calm down a little!
The emperor looked at Concubine Tong again: "If, as you said, it was Lan Xiaolou who quit the theater and closed Cuiliyuan and you took in these people, and their words were so lax, you should have known about this earlier. That's the right thing. I see that you are not someone who can endure it. When the queen was favored three years ago, you were probably going to expose her. Why wait until now?"
These people should have been found by the Tong family after spending a lot of money, material and manpower.
After living in the Tong family for a while, I was waiting for this opportunity to bring these people into the palace to testify against the queen.
With such crude means, only Concubine Tong, a fool, thought she was flawless.
