Chapter 233 She is the murderer
At this moment, Princess Siyuan was obviously uneasy. She even changed her clothes. People with a discerning eye might see something wrong.
Princess Siyuan knelt on the ground and looked up at the emperor and empress, "Father, the emperor and the empress know clearly that I will never do such a stupid thing."
The voice was somewhat breathy.
The emperor waved his hand and asked the people behind him to investigate, and then looked at Princess Siyuan intently, "You mean, the Feng family girl stabbed herself and put the blame on you?"
Princess Siyuan looked a little panicked, "My son, I don't know why she put the blame on him. I just went to change my clothes because my clothes were dirty. How did it happen that she committed the murder?"
Someone?"
The emperor didn't say anything. He should have asked why the clothes were dirty. Is it because there was blood splattered on them?
But for this kind of matter, we have already arranged for the next person to investigate, and we will wait for the evidence before questioning.
The princess commits murder in the palace, which is naturally a big deal. How can she deserve the respect of all people if she is so bold and reckless?
This matter was investigated quickly. The last person Feng Hongye saw was Princess Siyuan. Because the two of them did not shy away, several maids in the palace saw it.
Princess Siyuan shivered. She looked up at the emperor and said, "Father, Miss Feng failed in her courtship because she had a dispute with her son. She said she wanted him to help her again. The son thought it was ridiculous and didn't agree. We
They broke up on bad terms, but when we were separated, Miss Feng was still fine."
Princess Siyuan did not dare to admit that she had met Feng Hongye because of fear.
As for what Feng Hongye asked her to help with, it was to ask Princess Siyuan to use the power of the palace to find a way to make Chu Hanyin and Feng Hongye cook a meal, and the marriage was completed.
Princess Siyuan felt ridiculous at the moment. Feng Hongye didn't care about her own reputation when such a scandal occurred in the palace, but the princess was afraid of being punished. The main reason was that the palace was not clean, and the queen would definitely investigate thoroughly.
How could everything in the harem be hidden from the Queen's eyes? If the Queen knew that she helped Feng Hongye do such dirty things, she would definitely not be able to get around him.
"Absurd!" The emperor slammed the table. A girl really didn't even want to lose her face, right?
The Feng family quickly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. Hongye is acting ridiculously. I will definitely punish you severely when I return home!"
As for asking for justice, naturally I would not dare to mention it before the Holy One.
However, even if the Feng family does not seek justice, Princess Siyuan's injury cannot be ignored.
The emperor ignored the Feng family, but looked at Princess Siyuan and sneered, "Why are you pretending to be pitiful here? You don't deserve the credit for her ridiculous behavior?"
Right there, Mr. Chu suddenly hugged him, and someone else cooperated to attract him.
"With a dirty mind, a lackluster behavior, and a sinister look on her face, how can this be the demeanor of an imperial daughter?" Suddenly, a voice came from outside the palace.
Everyone looked for the sound, only to see Governor Ye who was supposed to be locked up. He was now wearing an official uniform, with his head held high and his chest high. Even his fat belly made him look aloof. He walked up to the empress and bowed according to the rules, "
My Lord, I will live up to my sacred mandate and will investigate the case thoroughly."
"Father, what is going on?" The prince's pupils trembled slightly and he looked at the sudden appearance of Governor Ye in disbelief.
The courtiers immediately stood up and looked intently at Governor Ye, who was supposed to be guilty.
As soon as the empress saw that the matter was in the court hall, she took the lead and stood up, avoiding the side hall and not asking about political affairs. Qiao Guxin naturally wanted to leave with her, and looked back when she went out.
Qiao Wenqing and Chu Hanyin nodded to Qiao Guxin at the same time, telling her to rest assured that they would not be involved now.
Waiting for the female family members to leave, everyone's attention turned to Governor Ye again.
Governor Ye turned his head and saluted the prince, "Your Highness, the case involving the child's death is complicated. Some people are using this case to make a big fuss. I must prove my innocence."
Then he looked at Princess Siyuan and said, "Your Highness, you say you are innocent, but why don't you explain how you got involved with the Feng family girl?"
After all, Governor Ye had been a minister of the Ministry of Justice for many years, and he always felt that every word he spoke was a trap.
Princess Siyuan frowned tightly, "Why should I say it to you? It must be you who instructed Feng Hongye to frame me."
Governor Ye smiled and shook his head, "If I am a princess, I might as well use my hidden illness as a cover at this moment."
Then his attention turned to everyone, "Our Princess Siyuan has a taboo disorder, it's impossible for you to have no rumors at all, right?"
"Insolent!" Princess Siyuan glared at Governor Ye angrily, but then quickly looked at the emperor, "Father, although my daughter still gets sick occasionally, she can control it and won't go crazy again. Father, please be clear!
"
When Princess Siyuan said this, everyone was in an uproar. It was one thing to speculate, but it was another thing for Princess Siyuan to actually admit it.
The emperor himself knew what was wrong with Princess Siyuan, otherwise he would have treated Consort Huo differently.
Princess Siyuan would rather admit that she was sick than admit that she had hurt Feng Hongye, which shows that there seems to be injustice.
Governor Ye shook his head slightly at the side, "I really admire Princess Siyuan's ability to bend and stretch, but why didn't the princess say it until now? It was the lower official who sent the princess a letter to let the princess interact with the Feng family girl?"
"Ye Qing, please speak slowly, why am I a little confused?" After hearing what Governor Ye said, the emperor immediately stopped.
At this time, Governor Ye explained in a leisurely manner.
When he got the news that he had been framed, he started to make plans. Princess Siyuan and Qiao had conflicts many times, but they held their breath every time. Governor Ye secretly sent someone to send a message to Princess Siyuan, saying that he had
Fazi helps Princess Siyuan.
There is a fool in the Feng family who loves Hongye, but admires Chu Hanyin. This may be a good opportunity.
Chu Hanyin was considered a clean-blooded civil servant and would not fall in love with Feng Hongye. This conflict would definitely arise. Princess Siyuan could then bring the Feng family together to deal with Qiao Guxin.
After finishing speaking, Governor Ye lowered his head and looked at Princess Siyuan, "It's just that the princess was negligent. If a woman is really jealous to this extent, isn't the person she wants to kill the most? Why is she pointing the finger at others, even if she is Shen
If the second lady presents it, the princess should also be ranked first."
After he finished speaking, his voice became very soft again, "Of course, I can't figure out what the princess is thinking, but I understand one thing. Since the princess has a hidden disease, she can control every attack.
However, he communicates secretly with his ministers and is very considerate, so he does not look like a sick person."
"I don't know what you are talking about!" Princess Siyuan's face changed slightly, her voice deepened, but she knelt down unconsciously.
Compared with hurting Feng Hongye, the problem Governor Ye said was more serious. Why did Princess Siyuan pretend to be ill so early? Was it to make the Holy Emperor pity her or for other reasons?
But at this time, Princess Siyuan became more and more calm. This is a habit developed over many years, and this is the royal dignity.
Governor Ye folded his hands and put them in front of him, leaning back slightly, "Let me ask you to guess why the princess didn't take out the letters she had sent to me. She probably wanted to put me to death, but now I'm looking at the signs." No, you have to find a way to suppress the matter, right?"
Princess Siyuan's face darkened, and her eyes narrowed involuntarily, "Is this how Lord Ye used to be the Minister of the Ministry of Justice? Can you decide right and wrong with just two words?"
Governor Ye's eyes suddenly turned sharp, "Of course you need to have documents, so the Holy One may send someone to check. Is there any autographed letter written by a subordinate in the princess's residence?"
Then there was a hint of coldness on his lips, "And, the Huo Consort who is locked in one place at the moment, and Master Shen!"
Governor Ye was originally in prison, but he suddenly escaped tonight, which naturally alarmed Shen Qiuhe.
When Feng Hongye entangled Chu Hanyin, she happened to give Shen Qiuhe a convenient opportunity. The two retreated to the dark at the same time to discuss important matters together.
As for when Prince Consort Huo got entangled with Dali Temple, it was naturally thanks to Princess Siyuan.
Originally, the marriage between the Duke's Mansion and the Marquis' Mansion must have been canceled, but it suddenly ended again. This was requested by Shen Qiuhe himself.
Dong Gong helped to speak up about this matter, and the Holy Emperor personally gave the permission. They knew the inside story. As the Emperor's most popular person, the Minister of Punishment naturally had a lot of information.
After all, Empress Liangdi's surname is, and she probably knows the inside story. Princess Siyuan suddenly got close to Liangdi a few days ago, and I am afraid that her words may be a test.
Moreover, for the first time, he attacked Qiao Gu and lured Dali Temple to visit him.
Shen Qiuhe stood up for his wife and personally found Huo's concubine in the princess's mansion, so he naturally hooked up with him.
The more the princess pursues the bad luck of Qiao's old intention, the closer the relationship between Shen Qiuhe and Huo's consort becomes, and they become her own people over time.
Waiting for Governor Ye to step down, Princess Siyuan took out the letters of communication and accused Governor Ye of refusing to repent. Aren't we all our own people?
After Governor Ye finished speaking, he walked up to the prince and clasped his fists, "Our Princess Siyuan has great ambitions, and she may want to imitate Emperor Wu!"
Women have never been allowed to participate in politics, but Princess Siyuan is getting closer to the court and slowly gaining the trust of the prince. When the prince ascends the throne, he will naturally like Princess Siyuan. Maybe when, Princess Siyuan will be able to replace her!
After Governor Ye finished speaking, he clicked his tongue twice, "The story of the princess and the noble son of a poor family meeting each other has lasted for thousands of years. I'm afraid they have been plotting for a long time."
After all, if you are a noble son, it is difficult for him to be manipulated by Princess Siyuan.
In this way, Princess Siyuan has evil intentions, so the so-called evidence prepared by Huo Huo Ma has been for so many years, and it is difficult to distinguish whether it is true or false.
Or, it has been carefully planned.
In this case, the issue of the Ye family's token must have been arranged by Huo's consort, and it was just a pretense to be angry at the beauty.
"Master Ye told a good story!" Princess Siyuan would not admit this.
However, in front of the former Minister of Punishment, all arguments seemed to be somewhat powerless.
It was as if she was a very aggressive person, and there was no need to interrogate Feng Hongye's matter anymore. It was because Feng Hongye had offended Princess Siyuan, and Princess Siyuan immediately wanted to kill someone.
Or, if the time is right, if Governor Ye is found in the palace, the blame can be placed directly on Governor Ye who has escaped.
The prince slowly took a few steps forward and said, "What the Ministry of Punishment has done over the years is in the eyes of this palace and all the officials in the court. Ye Qing, how can you say you are innocent?"
