The old lady is reborn

As the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice, from the day he agreed to work for the Six Kings, he knew that he would be shattered to pieces once his crimes were exposed.

In this case, let’s just start with this case and end it as an injustice, and if we are to be shattered to pieces, then let’s be shattered to pieces together.

He had been preparing for this false accusation for ten years. He worked for the six kings. Concubine Hui and her brother, the rich and idle people who lived a carefree life, also "worked for the six kings."

The Xu family has been destroyed, and no one from your Qin family can escape.

On the way back to Kyoto, Zeng Chen asked him why? Why did he work for the Sixth Prince? Didn't His Majesty trust you enough to use you?

One of them was in the Ministry of Justice, and the other was in the Dali Temple. They had known each other for many years. Cao Yu heard this and asked Zeng Chen, "Do you have any wine?"

The two men drank one cup after another in silence, one in the prison van and the other outside.

Until Zeng Chen fell drunk.

Cao Yu continued to drink, muttering to himself: "There was an old lady who became a grandmother. Before she committed suicide, her last words were to live well and not seek revenge.

She wants me to live well and not seek revenge.

you ask why?

A person may not avenge himself, but he cannot fail to repay a favor.

A person does not avenge himself. If someone hits you or cheats you, you say it's okay, that's your business.

But I can’t say it’s okay on behalf of others. I can’t ask them one by one.

They wanted fairness and innocence until their death. They died just for fairness and innocence. They died because they didn't believe in a world without reason.

If there are things in this world that are not justified by heaven, then I will seek a cause and effect.”

After arriving in Kyoto, Cao Yu was brought to trial for the first time and he confessed that Concubine Hui and her younger brother, Qin Wang, nicknamed "Little Uncle", were both members of the Six Princes' men and worked for them.

Concubine Hui in the palace was still unaware of the situation. The relevant report was first delivered to the autumn hunting camp and placed in His Majesty's tent.

Concubine Hui also had her own secrets. She had been beautiful since she was young. Although her mother was a concubine, she was also favored, so naturally she was also very proud.

When she first entered the palace, she had the idea of ​​competing for the throne. Since the queen had lost her son, it was natural for the concubines in the harem to be tempted.

But her first chance to sleep with the emperor, which she had waited for three months after entering the palace, was intercepted.

The one who shamelessly bullied the newcomer was that bitch Gu Lei. They lived in the same palace, and she was so happy when the eunuch came to inform them in advance, but she was so disappointed and angry later.

Concubine Gu stood at the palace gate and waited, pulling His Majesty to her place to drink soup, and finally succeeded in keeping His Majesty at her place.

Although the Queen reprimanded Concubine Gu afterwards and comforted Concubine Hui who had just entered the palace, saying "it's just two days late anyway", Concubine Hui always felt that it was Gu Lei who robbed her of her luck.

It was at that time that Concubine Gu, who had been in the palace for more than two years, became pregnant and gave birth to the third prince.

And I haven't gotten pregnant in all these years.

In Concubine Hui's view, she made voodoo dolls to curse Gu Lei and her son just to vent her anger, and she didn't think this trick would really work.

However, although Concubine Gu was promoted in status and given a title because of giving birth to a son, she became Concubine Kang and was later named Concubine Kang.

But she and her son really became "sickly" and "medicine-depleted" just as she had hoped when she prayed to the gods and made paper dolls.

Concubine Hui began to suspect that the voodoo doll might really be useful, so she did it year after year and cursed them, hoping that this would suppress her and her son and take back the luck that the bitch had taken away from them.

Maybe it is useful. Even though I have no children, I still became Concubine Hui, right?

After the noisy group left, Rong Huaian, who had been up for two nights and one day, could finally sleep.

He didn't know that after he fell asleep, Princess Anyang came and called a young eunuch to come in from outside the tent to take a look. After she knew that he was asleep, Anyang left again.

Anyang was originally calm and composed, but the two palace maids around her reported to her every day that Luoxue was with Rong Huaian all day long, and they just saw Luoxue enter Rong Huaian's tent.

Princess Anyang didn't quite believe it. There were so many people in the camp, coming and going, it was normal to be dazzled.

But I don't know why I was very unhappy and came here anyway, but I didn't see any snow at all.

Princess Anyang returned to her own tent and said to the two men who followed her with their heads down, "If you do it again, you two will go back to Kyoto."

Yan Hui, who lived next door, was happy at first when he saw Princess Anyang coming to see Huai'an. But if he told Rong Huai'an about this, he would be overjoyed.

But then he thought about it again. He and Huai'an had a bet. Whoever got engaged first would win. He didn't want to lose.

After hesitating for a long time, I decided that brotherhood was better.

When Huai'an found out, he was delighted. He took the short sword awarded by His Majesty and asked Yan Hui, "Can I give this to her?" After getting a yes, he left quickly.

Yan Hui sighed. He also wanted to give the dagger to the girl he loved, but she probably wouldn't want it.

When His Majesty read the report, he was shocked and confused: Was the docile, obedient and peaceful Concubine Hui sent into the palace by the Sixth Prince?

Both the brother and sister work for the Sixth King?

This confession contains a lot of details, such as how the prefect brought two boxes of rare treasures and the money he had plundered from the people to Kyoto to curry favor with the six kings.

How the Sixth Prince instructed the prefect to search for and prepare beautiful women in preparation for placing someone by His Majesty's side.

Concubine Hui's favorite snack was the one given by the wife of the deposed Duke Anguo. She would always tear out the notes from the Sixth Prince from the snack and learn about the Sixth Prince's instructions.

The Sixth Prince originally used the house of Rong Huaishan, the concubine of Marquis Nan'an, as their base. Later, when this place was exposed, they moved to the house of Qin Wang, the younger brother of Concubine Hui.

Moreover, that place is more secluded, and all the people who have been exposed in Rong Huaishan’s house are not needed.

Every year on her birthday, Concubine Hui would go to the high tower in the palace to look out over the city in the name of missing her hometown. At that time, a kite would always be raised outside the palace.

Concubine Hui's maid would find a way to leave the palace and go to the designated kite shop to buy the kite. Every year, there were all kinds of different kites, and Cao Yu didn't know what was in them. He only knew that this was a way of communication.

The Sixth Prince's most important instruction to Concubine Hui was to eliminate the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince within two years.

Your Majesty is fifty-six years old, and the current crown prince is only eighteen. If the crown prince is eliminated within two years, Your Majesty will no longer be able to train a new crown prince or a new king.

Of the remaining three princes, one is incompetent, one is sickly, and one is free and unrestrained and young and energetic. None of them are worth worrying about.

In Cao Yu's confession, almost every item is partially true, while the other part cannot be verified. It is impossible to ask the six kings to confirm it.

Cao Yu was not afraid of not being able to crush Hui Fei's siblings to death. From the day he promised the Sixth Prince, he was ready to drag the Qin family down with him when he was exposed. This was just the first course. If it didn't work, he would serve the second and third courses.

The prefect had handled an "ironclad case" at the beginning, and now he is also handling an "ironclad case".
