The First Traitor [Rebirth]

The emperor turned around and looked at Yuan Jing who was very calm. King Qi was also taken aback for a moment, then frowned and looked at her.Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, completely speechless, and Wu Xuhao also stared at her with wide-eyed disbelief.

Yuan Jing said: "Why wait for the three divisions to interrogate, the prince might as well call the witness and confront him face-to-face to see if he saw with his own eyes that this letter was written by me. And... if this letter was written by me, I will Why is it stamped with my father's seal?"

The emperor frowned, took the letter, and asked someone to bring over the scriptures that Yuan Jing had written before, and just in case, he also brought over Yuan Ye's memorial for comparison.After a comparison, it was not the handwriting of the two of them.

King Qi immediately said: "You are not allowed to borrow someone else's hand?! This seal is real!"

"The informant didn't find out whether the letter was written by me? How can he be sure that I borrowed someone else's hand? No one is allowed to steal my father's seal?"

King Qi's face turned dark all of a sudden, and the emperor couldn't tell the difference, so he asked Liu Xiao, "The Puyang garrison has returned to the capital?" He obviously summoned the Puyang garrison first, why did King Qi come back, but he hasn't come back yet?

"What Puyang defense?" Lin Xuanda and others asked privately.

"I don't know..."

King Qi sneered: "Others may not believe what they say, but there is one person who saw it with their own eyes, and what she said is the only thing you can believe!"

"Who said that?" Yuan Ye hurriedly asked, King Qi's words meant that there was a traitor in the original family!

"Father, please allow me to call a woman into the palace."

"What woman?"

"It's Yuan Shaoqing's concubine, and she's also a powerful witness to report the conspiracy between the Yuan family and King Puyang!" King Qi lowered his head, and he smiled triumphantly in a place where the emperor couldn't see.

Yuan Ye's eyes widened, and he looked at Yuan Jing again. The latter was obviously also very surprised: "It's her? It's impossible!"

"How is it impossible? She is Yuan Shaoqing's bedside person, so she naturally understands and clearly understands what Yuan Shaoqing did!" King Qi said.

Luo Lao Hanlin has no choice but to speak out now, it turned out to be his grandson-in-law, but the person who reported it was the grandson-in-law's concubine, he can no longer act as a bystander.He said: "This woman's status is low, she shouldn't come here!"

King Qi's eyes rolled, and he immediately understood Luo Lao Hanlin's intentions. He was afraid that there would be some accidents in the trial of the third division, and he had to make a quick decision.So he said: "It's about important court officials and treasonous matters, so what if we let her go to the palace?"

The emperor pondered for a long time, yes.

The Imperial Forest Army went to the Yuan Mansion at the Emperor's will, Nan Lian was chatting with Yuan Xu and Luo Qijiao in the mansion, when she heard the news, she went out.The eunuch who came with the imperial army ordered directly: "Search!"

Nan Lian's complexion changed, and she shouted: "Bold, this is the Yuan Mansion, who searched the mansion for your courage?"

The eunuch said: "According to the emperor's order, come to invite Yuan Shaoqing's concubine Pingyao to confront him in the palace!"

"The emperor's decree is only to find Pingyao, but he didn't give you the right to search the house!"

The eunuch's eyes flashed, obviously it couldn't be said that he deliberately made troubles for King Qi's benefit, so he said: "The emperor's decree is of great importance, we must search it thoroughly, we cannot give you a chance to sell the stolen goods!"

Nan Lian sneered: "If you want to search, that's fine, the princess will accompany you! Come, let them search, and follow every place they search, and see what they find!"

"The princess dares to disobey the emperor's imperial decree?!" the eunuch screamed.

"Of course the princess doesn't dare, but after you have finished searching the mansion, the princess will follow you into the palace to meet the saint!"

The eunuch looked at Nanlian with a blue face for a while, and then ordered: "Have you heard what the princess said, why don't you hurry up?!" No matter what, he wanted to explain to King Qi.

Pingyao was kidnapped soon, her face was slightly pale, facing Nan Lian and Luo Qijiao's questioning eyes, her eyes dodged guiltily.Nan Lian had already learned about what happened from others, and when she saw her, she said, "Can you forgive her?"

Yuan Xu raised his head and looked at the crowd, obviously not understanding what happened.

Ping Yao remained silent, then looked at Nan Lian: "I didn't feel sorry for anyone!"

After Pingyao was escorted into the palace, the Imperial Forest Army sealed the gate of the palace: "The emperor has ordered that no one can enter or leave the palace today."

"This county mainly sees the queen!"

"Please come back tomorrow, princess!"

Not only Nan Lian, but even Liang Wang and Zhao Wang were not allowed to enter the palace.Zhao Wang asked: "I heard that the Imperial Forest Army came to search the Yuan Mansion, but what happened?"

"King Qi returned to Beijing before dawn today, but is it related to today's events?" King Liang asked.

"King Qi has returned to Beijing?" Nan Lian asked back.

"What happened?" King Zhao became more and more anxious. If something happened to the Yuan family, his big backer would be gone, so what can stop King Qi from becoming the prince? !

In the palace, King Qi seemed very confident. He believed that even if the charges could not be prosecuted, the emperor would have a grudge against the Yuan family.But he will have no loss. After all, it is the eunuch of Yinshoujian and the middle-class people who were abandoned by him who reported the matter. If the emperor wants to blame them, he will only dismiss them and investigate them, but they will not be involved behind the scenes. He is the master.

Although the emperor called him back to Beijing this time to interrogate the matter, he also said that the matter was reported by his subordinates. He intercepted the letter from King Puyang and accidentally discovered that it was the original family who had an affair with King Puyang , Conspiring to rebel.In this way, you can also clean yourself.

The emperor summoned Pingyao, and when Pingyao approached the palace step by step, many similar pictures appeared in her mind.She seemed to have appeared in this deep palace before. She watched the Imperial Forest Army passing by and saw too many bloody scenes.But when she came back to her senses, all she could think about was that she was going to meet that person, the highest person, and the only person who could restore the Zhang family's innocence—the emperor!

The miserable situation of Zhang's family and the situation where her life was worse than death all these years made her painful and resentful.Thinking that she will soon be able to tell her grievances for her family, she was so nervous that her heart was thumping and she was sweating profusely. She was breathing heavily, preparing to...

Walking into the hall, she felt hundreds of pairs of eyes staring at her body, she could feel the scrutiny, disdain, curiosity, anger and resentment.

With her head hanging down, her vision was limited, but she saw Yuan Ye, whose face was half covered by bloodshot eyes, looking at her coldly.The blood on his face had dried up, which surprised her, after all, she had never seen Yuan Ye look so embarrassed.But thinking of her father's even more embarrassed and miserable appearance before he died, she made up her mind not to look at him again.

When her eyes touched Yuan Jing, she was stunned.What Yuan Jing said to her when they got married has been circling in her mind all the time. She can't tell whether Yuan Jing is telling the truth or lies, but since they have reached that point, presumably Yuan Jing doesn't need to lie her.

"Slave sees the emperor, long live the emperor." Ping Yao didn't need anyone's reminder to salute.

The emperor sat on the dragon chair, eyes half downcast, and did not look at her, but said: "Tell me what you know."

Ping Yao opened his mouth, Yuan Jing whispered: "Don't say who you are."

Pingyao was stunned for a moment, it turned out that the words seemed to be a warning but the meaning was unclear.She knew why she was here, it was to prove that Yuan Jing had secretly conspired against King Puyang, and she was warning her not to talk nonsense, but why did she not say her identity?Could it be that Yuan was warning her about other things, such as her identity——Zhang Yiyao, that is, don't talk about the Zhang family?Under such circumstances, it was impossible for Yuan to still be so kind to her and remind her of something. Could it be that he had warned her on purpose?

Pingyao thought a lot during this short moment of daze.Wu Xuhao heard Yuan Jing's voice, and shouted: "Yuan Jing, you want to threaten her?!"

Yuan actually glanced at him coldly and said nothing.

"I don't know what the emperor wants the slave to say?" Ping Yao asked.

The emperor opened his eyes, looking at her with a hint of intriguing meaning.Wu Xuhao shouted: "Naturally tell the truth about the fact that you witnessed the Yuan family conspiring with King Puyang to rebel! Above this hall, in front of the emperor, I hope you will tell the truth!"

The faces of her dead relatives flashed in Pingyao's mind, the good and bad that Yuan Jing treated her, and Yuan Li's face flashed across, and finally she suddenly thought of Yuan Xu who was the last time she saw before leaving Yuan Mansion today.She resisted the urge to cry, and gritted her teeth: "I don't know why the Yuan family conspired with King Puyang to rebel."

All the officials looked at each other, Yuan Ye and Yuan Jing both looked at her in surprise, the emperor grinned imperceptibly, but King Qi was silent, and Wu Xuhao sternly said: "Do you know what you are talking about, bullying the emperor is a death penalty!"

"I really don't know. Please tell me, my lords, why you brought this slave here." Pingyao's heart almost jumped out of his throat.

King Qi squinted his eyes, but he wasn't angry. He had been guarding against Pingyao's move for a long time.It's just that Wu Xuhao was a little annoyed, and said: "You saw with your own eyes that Yuan actually exchanged letters with King Puyang, and then you sent someone to inform the Ministry of Officials of this news..."

"Wu Shangshu!" Qi Wang stopped him, he stopped talking, and looked at Qi Wang puzzled.

King Qi secretly scolded him for being dull. If the emperor asked carefully, why would Pingyao inform the officials of the news to Shizhong?And why didn't the officials directly report the matter to the emperor, but let them know first, how should they explain it?

Sure enough, Pingyao said: "I am just a concubine. I have never been out of the mansion, and I don't know who is in charge of the official affairs, where I live, and I have never met a strange man. Please don't slander the slave any more. Already!"

Wu Xuhao gave her a hard look, but Pingyao's sudden change of mind was unexpected!Fortunately, King Qi is not the only one who can use her, but said: "Father, this woman is Yuan Shaoqing's concubine, she will lie because of her past affection, we don't need to pay attention to it. It's just that there are other things. Present the evidence!"

The emperor said, "Why didn't you present the evidence earlier?"

The King of Qi also ordered people to bring up the worshipers and some mausoleum households of the ancestral mausoleum in Puyang.These people were brought by the king of Qi after he got the emperor's order, and these people are the real witnesses!

The envoy claimed to have seen with his own eyes that there were only a few guards around the ancestral mausoleum, but suddenly there were many more people.He visited secretly and found that these people had hoarded a large number of weapons and armor in the ancestral tomb.And some people say that if there are big figures in the court, the rebellion will definitely succeed!

Faced with such a situation, he didn't dare to play rashly, lest he would be killed by King Puyang, but he had to report it, so he informed King Qi in Kaifeng.When King Qi learned about this and wanted to find out who was colluding with King Puyang, he intercepted the letter sent from Yuanfu, which just confirmed his testimony!

Those mausoleum households also confirmed that there are indeed many mausoleum guards, and they dare to guarantee it with their heads!

The crowd questioned the eunuch of Yinshoujian again. He admitted that the reason why he did not report the impeachment directly but asked him to report to the emperor in the form of a secret letter was because he was afraid that Yuan Ye would kill people if he found out about the matter.

After some remarks, everyone's doubts were gradually dispelled, as if King Puyang really conspired to rebel!But they felt that something was wrong—the secret letter as a testimony was not written by Yuan Jing, nor by Yuan Ye, who wrote it?
