After rebirth, I made the princes cry

Chengenhou Yu Huai was the elder brother of Queen Yu and also the cousin of Yu Luan. The deceased Yu Duo was the uncle of Queen Yu. Queen Yu had liked this uncle very much since she was a child because he was handsome, suave and quite romantic. He is the only one among the elders who speaks politely and has the style of a celebrity. Unlike Queen De Yu's deceased father Yu Jun, who always speaks foul language, Yu Luan, who committed the crime, actually inherited his father's style, and of course he is highly valued by Queen Yu. , otherwise there would be no strong demand for him to become an official of the East Palace.

The Yu family was a poor family. For dozens of generations, no one was officially awarded an official title. The title of Marquis Chengen was conferred upon Sikong Tong’s accession to the throne. However, although the Yu family did not belong to a gentry family, they were still a member of the gentry family. He is a local tycoon, owns his own land and house, and his family is relatively wealthy.

In fact, Empress Yu never gave up her efforts to make her family join the nobility. She naturally had high hopes for Yu Luan, a subject of the East Palace. Who knew that such a case that shocked the government and the public would come out? This was indeed a thunderbolt for Empress Yu. of blow.

She wandered around the Xianyang Hall until Sikong Beichen arrived late.

In fact, the prince doesn't want to come to Xianyang Palace at all, but he has to come. He is the prince of a country and has not yet become a noble person. Filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, and politeness are necessary appearances. On these points, he must let most people know. Most nobles agree that what they are most resistant to is that the throne is occupied by a violent and ruthless monarch. For example, the monarch who was smothered to death by his beloved concubine with a quilt and who has not been held accountable has already become a nobleman during his lifetime. A thorn in the side.

"This matter must be thoroughly investigated!" Queen Yu roared at the top of her lungs: "My uncle is indeed a romantic man. He often summoned Qinhuai girls and indeed made his cousin redeem his body for a red herdsman. Only then did the suspicion of father taking his son's concubine spread." But they are nothing more than gossips, and I have never done any dirty things that violate human ethics. How could I have committed adultery with my cousin’s wife?! This must be Zhaoyang Palace’s conspiracy, and it must be Wang Yingshu’s suggestion!”

Sikong Beichen was filled with anger. Hearing that the queen actually pointed the finger at Chen Junxie at this juncture, the tip of his heart felt like a silver needle had poked him in the eye. The fire in his heart suddenly burned brightly: "Yu Luan's Both of his concubines were forced to live in his house by Yu Duo. Otherwise, why would Yu Luan put the Zhao family outside? And he repeatedly made private appointments with the Zhao family to go elsewhere..." Sikong Beichen couldn't even say what Yu Duo said. Having done a "good thing", he clenched his hands into fists and placed them heavily on his knees.

"Even so, isn't there something fishy about this matter? Why don't you think carefully about whether Mrs. Zhao was bribed by someone? She deliberately seduced her uncle, and she deliberately misled her cousin. Why didn't she tell her cousin? The person she had a private meeting with was her uncle. Why didn't the uncle say anything? If the cousin knew it was his uncle, how could he stab him with a sword? "

Sikong Beichen felt that what Queen Yu said was reasonable.

"My father has given me full authority to handle this matter, thanks to Yingshu's advice. Mother, you must remember that even if this case is indeed caused by someone else's conspiracy, this person will definitely not be Yingshu."

Queen Yu fell silent.

Sikong Beichen didn't realize at all that he had successfully fallen into the trap, and racked his brains more and more to completely "select" Yu Luan. Indeed, compared to several of his uncles, Yu Luan at least had some appearance, and Yu Luan's The sons are also the most promising figures among the Yu family. Sikong Beichen even thinks that there is nothing serious wrong with Yu Luan. There are countless nobles who ask for bribes from merchants. In order to make profits, merchants have always paid generously to the powerful. "Remuneration", although the Yu family cannot be regarded as powerful, Yu Luan is his vassal in the East Palace after all, and Sikong Beichen is the prince, but he wants to bribe his followers to consolidate his strength, and the money he needs to spend is not a small amount. Part of this money was subsidized by Yu Luan, and most of the bribes Yu Luan accepted were for the Eastern Palace, which was also tacitly approved by Sikong Beichen.

Yu Duo's family had a wide range of contacts, and Yu Duo did contribute a lot to Queen Yu. Although Yu Duo was killed by Yu Luan himself, Sikong Beichen really wanted to find out who was behind the scenes. This would not only ensure his safety Xia Yuluan continues to be used by him, and he can also give the enemy a powerful counterattack.

He should have restrained his sharpness, but after all, he had experienced a victory. Since Sikong Beichen was reborn, it has been difficult to go back to the time when he was walking on thin ice and cautiously showing weakness when he was forced by the Jiangdong He and Changping Zheng clans. mentality. What's more, in his previous life, it was clear that Yu Duo would not die now. This change of situation made Sikong Beichen dare not take it lightly - if he ignored it, who knows whether this case would trigger a series of incidents one after another. , completely changing the future of personnel.

Yu Luan is now under house arrest in the East Palace, waiting to be dealt with. The "disaster" Zhao who caused this incident is naturally also under house arrest here. He is also under house arrest, but the treatment of the two people is completely different. Zhao has actually been convicted , death is inevitable. As a person waiting to die, her hands and feet were tightly bound and locked up in an empty house. And because she was still functional, she would not "commit suicide out of fear of crime". Today, His Highness the Crown Prince To see her, two maids brought a bucket of water, took off the dirt-stained middle coat, "washed" her, and randomly changed her into clean clothes belonging to the palace, and took her away. A pavilion with four veiled windows removed.

Sikong Beichen looked up at the shadowy figure of Zhao on the other side of the painting screen.

He was not at all curious about the woman's appearance.

There are many talented people in the East Palace, because for Dayu, whether they are famous people or dandy, most of them are addicted to music, singing and dancing. If the prince wants to make friends with them, he must hold a banquet. Since he is hosting a banquet, then All kinds of tricksters are indispensable. In fact, Sikong Beichen is occasionally invited to Qinhuaili. He has seen a lot of them, whether they are red herdsmen or pure herdsmen. The tricksters do have their own styles, but in Sikong Beichen's eyes, they are all the same. They are just pink skeletons. Groups of them disappear as they grow old, and groups of people become famous in their youth and will be forgotten within a few years.

It is impossible for a woman from a humble background to be truly talented and talented. Those men who treat such women as treasures really don't know what to say.

Sikong Beichen already knew some things and there was no need to ask anymore.

"Ms. Zhao, please tell me what happened on the day the murder occurred. I urge you to confess truthfully. Otherwise, you will suffer another physical and mental torture."

Mrs. Zhao probably knew that she was going to die. She had been tortured for two whole days, and now she was unable to kneel down and respond. She simply sat upright, raised her hand, pushed the wet hair behind her ears, and put her hands on her knees. on, she looked at her fingers.

"There is not a word of falsehood in my confession. That day, I received a secret letter from Duke Yu's envoy, and took only one of my confidant's maids to have a private meeting with Duke Yu in the house he had set up in Xing'anli. It was a good time, Yu Lingcheng led his men to break in. The concubine knelt in front of Lingcheng, begging him not to be impulsive and to send the idlers away first. However, Lingcheng was furious at that time and ignored his concubine's obstruction. Lingcheng already had a sword in his hand... Yes Your Majesty did not care about the facts, which led to the tragic murder."

"So, you know... who is the person who committed adultery with you?!"

"Of course I know that. Although I am only Yu Lingcheng's concubine, since I was redeemed from Qinhuai and the deed is in the possession of Yu Lingcheng, I know that if I lose my virginity to others, I will commit a capital crime. If it weren't for Mr. Yu We are forcing each other, and I know that Duke Yu is the father of Yu Lingcheng, and I think that even if Yu Lingcheng knows, he will definitely have scruples, so how can I dare to commit myself? With my destiny and fate, I really can't fight against the powerful, and I just want to survive. As for Chastity...Who in the world believes that a prostitute in a brothel can be clean? I am no longer a virgin."

Sikong Beichen frowned tightly. He really despised such a woman: "You said you were forced, but what evidence is there?"

"What evidence can I have? Unless Duke Yu is brought back to life and he confesses in person, although His Highness is noble, I believe that he cannot let the dead man speak again. I also dare to ask His Highness the Crown Prince. If I were not forced, Could it be possible to force Duke Yu to live in a foreign country even though he knew that I was Yu Lingcheng's concubine, and to have sex with her several times? If Duke Yu hadn't been ashamed that his servants had witnessed such unethical things, they would have exposed them. The news was criticized by everyone, so why didn't he arrange any servants in that residence?

Duke Yu personally warned the concubine that if she did not commit herself to him, he would order Yu Lingcheng to take the concubine back to the mansion. I could only be the maid of Duke Yu, not to mention that I could only commit myself to him. I would like to toast you and not drink the fine wine. I will never do it. In the delusion that he could still call his slaves and maids, he would punish his concubine by sweeping and washing her clothes every day, and even being whipped every day.

Your Highness doubts why Mr. Yu did not reveal his identity when his scandal was exposed? That's because Mr. Yu was... very ugly at that time. After all, he was an old man and he always didn't know how to exercise restraint. He had to take a strange medicine before having sex. Although the medicine could make him happy, it also didn't make him happy. It will cause his saliva to droop and his mouth to become speechless when he is extremely excited. Some of the medicine that Mr. Yu took was still stored in the hospital where the crime occurred. His Highness can naturally say that this medicine was prepared by his concubine and she deliberately married Mr. Yu. But I don’t have this kind of magic medicine. No matter how much physical pain I suffer, I can’t admit the things I haven’t done. "

This Zhao family is not afraid of death! ! !

Sikong Beichen became more and more certain that Mrs. Zhao must have been bribed, but according to his investigation, Mrs. Zhao was a widowed mother who died of illness. She was still young at the time and had no money to bury her mother, so she went to a dental shop to ask for it. He sold himself and used the money from selling his body to bury his mother. Later, he was spotted by a charlatan in Qinhuaili and bought and trained to become a Hongwan man. Before he became famous, he was bought by a merchant and given to Yu Luan.

Zhao has no family or a lover. Although she has served some welcome guests, most of them were merchants. The merchants who redeemed her citizenship were also careful. In order to avoid causing trouble, they specially selected a popular shopkeeper who was not in the eyes of the rich and powerful. Merchants should not be instigated by others.

But this Zhao family is determined to put Yu Duo and his son to death! ! !

It must not be for money, because she has no relatives or friends, and no one can enjoy the money she gave her life for, so why should she ask for money?

If it's not for wealth or power, it must be because of hatred.

But Zhao wanted to die, and Sikong Beichen could no longer force the truth out of her.

Yu Luan had a severe headache. In the East Palace, he still enjoyed the high house, soft couch, and good food and drink. He also knew that he would probably not die, but he would probably be dismissed from his post, and if he was found guilty of patricide, , will inevitably affect the sons' pursuit of reputation. If their lineage is despised by the nobles, let alone their sons, even their grandsons, will never be able to become officials again!

So she couldn't sleep well on the soft couch in the high house, couldn't eat the delicacies from the mountains and seas, and the symptoms of migraine deeply confused Yu Luan. When she heard that the prince had arrived, she hurriedly ran to kneel under the eaves of the corridor.

Such a humble attitude did not make Sikong Beichen look good at all.
