After returning from rebirth, the eldest sister of Hou family destroyed her household registration b

Everyone was stunned and looked at the confession.

In fact, the expressions of both Queen Wei and Xiao Rongxuan changed.

Didn’t you say there was none? Why did Xiao Jinzhi suddenly give a confession again!

"Father, my son is guilty. The criminal has confessed to the mastermind in order to save his life. But my son was thinking about the relationship between mother and son and has been extremely hesitant. I was confused for a moment and thought of concealing my confession."

Xiao Jinzhi paused, and after receiving the confession, he turned his head and looked at Empress Wei.

"Mother, it's not that I made it up to wrongly accuse my third brother. I just said that there was no confession. It's just because the person behind the confession was not only my third brother, but also... you, my mother!"

Queen Wei's expression changed suddenly, and Xiao Rongxuan was even more stunned. After realizing it, he spoke loudly: "Xiao Jinzhi, you are crazy. What are you talking nonsense? It is simply treason!"

"Shut up!" Emperor Xiao scolded him coldly, "Shut up! This is the royal study, and you won't be allowed to be presumptuous!"

Xiao Rongxuan was shocked and did not dare to speak again.

Emperor Xiao took the confession handed over by Eunuch Zheng and read it, his face becoming increasingly ugly.

Finally, he slapped the dragon case in front of him with his palm and threw the confession directly in front of Xiao Rongxuan and Queen Wei.

"Is what is said here true or false?"

Queen Wei stepped forward to pick up the confession, and immediately knelt down after reading it, "Your Majesty, this is all nonsense. After all, the prince is also my son. How could I do such a ridiculous thing to frame him?" Come. As for Xuan'er, he has always been dedicated to assisting the emperor and always considers the court, so it is even more impossible for him to do such a thing!"

Emperor Xiao looked at Queen Wei coldly. After all, he was her son? Such lame excuses can coax others, but not yourself.

"Queen, I will give you one more chance to tell you honestly whether this matter has anything to do with you or not!"

"Of course not!" Queen Wei immediately denied it. As she spoke, she quickly turned to look at Xiao Jinzhi, "Prince, even if I am a little biased on weekdays, you should not hold a grudge and forge such a confession."

"My mother's words are wrong. This confession was signed by the prisoner himself. I definitely did not forge it."

"What evidence can you prove!"

Xiao Jinzhi looked at Queen Wei and suddenly gave a wry smile, "Mother, if I really wanted to forge a confession to frame you and your third brother, why did you help conceal it and not give a confession just now? If you hadn't done what you just did Suspicion, how could I be forced to make a confession to prove my innocence?"

Queen Wei looked ugly, "I..."

"If I didn't give a confession, it would be a deliberate frame-up. Now that I have given a confession, it's still a frame-up. What do you want your son to do? Could it be that you want your son to take the blame for you? Please admit it." Only then can you be satisfied with poisoning, committing suicide, and giving up the position of crown prince to your third brother?"

Xiao Jinzhi's tone was bitter, her peach blossom eyes were lonely, and her expression was full of brokenness.

With this look, all the courtiers in attendance couldn't help but feel angry.

"Queen, Your Highness the Crown Prince is right. If Your Highness really intended to forge a confession to frame you, why didn't you just give it out?"

"Exactly, the empress has a distinguished status and is the biological mother of His Highness the Crown Prince. We ministers should not interrupt and say anything, but your behavior is really too chilling."

"Your Majesty, although the empress and the Third Prince are of noble status, as the saying goes, the emperor is as guilty as the common people when they break the law. Moreover, this matter involves so many people and the soldiers who have worked hard to provide disaster relief. We must not expose it so easily. Wei Xiao I boldly ask the emperor to investigate this matter strictly!"

"I second the proposal and ask the Emperor to investigate this matter strictly!"

"I second the proposal!"

The courtiers present spoke one after another, and Queen Wei's face turned extremely pale.

There is no way to determine whether this confession is true or false. But the bad thing is that after what happened just now, these courtiers almost all sided with Xiao Jinzhi and believed that the confession was true. If we really investigate thoroughly...

Queen Wei couldn't help but break out in cold sweat, "No, we must not continue the investigation, otherwise this matter will not be hidden!"

"Your Majesty, I am really unjust. I was just nervous and angry for a moment, so I said such words. With this confession alone, I can't even tell whether it is true or false. How can I prove that I am guilty? . What’s more, I am the mother of a country. If the investigation is carried out so easily, once the news spreads, I am afraid that even the reputation of the royal family will be damaged."

"That's right, Father, I really have never done this. You must believe me. And the mother, the queen has been staying in Fengyi Palace, how could she possibly be able to plan these things!" Xiao Rongxuan also said quickly. .

"Whether it was a plan or not, there is really no way to prove it based on the words of the Empress and the Third Prince. Detailed investigation is needed." The Qing of Dali Temple said coldly.

Based on his many years of experience in solving cases, and judging from the Queen’s reaction just now, I’m afraid it’s really difficult to have anything to do with the word innocent.

Seeing Emperor Xiao's face turn ashen, Queen Wei had a very bad premonition in her heart.

There has long been no relationship between husband and wife between himself and the emperor in front of him. Maybe the emperor has already been planning to destroy himself so that he can make way for his sweetheart!

No, the emperor must not be allowed to agree to the investigation.

"Queen, you..."

"Your Majesty!" Queen Wei suddenly interrupted Xiao Emperor, looked at him directly and said, "After all, I and the Emperor have been husband and wife for many years and have experienced so many things together. Could it be that the Emperor is not even willing to give me this little trust?" Concubine?"

Emperor Xiao frowned quickly, was he threatening himself?

Queen Wei glanced at Xiao Jinzhi with a vague look, "I just hope that the emperor will take into account my concubine's contribution over the years. Please think again!"

"That's enough!" Emperor Xiao's eyes were gloomy, he took a deep breath, and looked at Empress Wei intently, "This matter must be investigated, but after all, the empress has a distinguished status, I will personally investigate slowly, and here No one is allowed to talk nonsense or spread any news before. As for the queen... she has returned to Fengyi Palace for the time being, and she is not allowed to step out of the palace without my order."

The courtiers were naturally dissatisfied with this decision, which clearly contained a hint of cover-up.

"emperor……"

"My decision has been made. No one is allowed to say anything more." Emperor Xiao interrupted the courtiers and looked at Xiao Rongxuan, "As for the third prince, he is also temporarily in seclusion in the Third Prince's Mansion, pending investigation."

Queen Wei was relieved in her heart, and although the courtiers were dissatisfied, Emperor Xiao had already said this, so they could only accept it.

Xiao Jinzhi stood aside, lowering his eyes. From an angle that no one could see, a smile flashed in his eyes...
