How to Raid the Queen

The court lady was shocked by the appearance of Jing Wenhao and Li Xi, she couldn't believe that the person in front of her was the emperor a few days ago.

"I read the dossier, and it said that the queen raped you on the night of August [-]th, but how did you say it?" Jing Wenhao asked in a gesture to appease Li Xi.

"That day, that day, the emperor punished the empress, and the empress was in a bad mood, so she drank some wine, and as a result, as a result..." the maid began to cry as she spoke.

Jing Wenhao had finished thinking about it, okay, it's about him again, and he was very worried, afraid that Li Xi would remember the time when he treated him badly before.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Li Xi's body that had just softened became stiff again, and his back tensed.Jing Wenhao thought Li Xi was delusional, stopped his hand caressing his hair, saw Li Xi turned his head slightly, looked at him stubbornly, his eyes were full of grievances, and said: "Minister, I don't."

Although this address is alienated, but the look is undoubtedly coquettish, Jing Wenhao was very itchy from that blow, his hand that stopped came back to Li Xi's hair, and said softly: "I know."

"You said you were forced, did you call for help that night?" Jing Wenhao continued to ask.

"Yes, there are slaves, but because they are in the Queen's Palace, it is useless for slaves to call for help."

"Zhi Ling." Jing Wenhao said.

Zhi Ling knelt down when she heard the sound, and replied, "Your maidservant is here."

"On the night of August [-]th, where were you as a personal maid?"

"Back to the emperor, the queen was drunk that night, and the servants went to prepare the queen's hangover soup, and came back within a moment of leaving, when the queen was lying on the bed. When I came back, I saw Lan Xin lying naked next to the queen and going to strip the queen The servant girl stopped her at that time and kicked her out. So the emperor clearly noticed that the queen was so drunk that night that she didn't even have the strength to lift her arms, let alone do such a messy thing. And The quilt from that night was tidied up by the servants, and no marks were left." Zhi Ling knelt down and explained.

"You are talking nonsense. It is obvious that the empress forcibly made friends with me. Your majesty is aware of it. If not, why would the empress keep me in his palace after I did such a thing. Slaves, servants have the empress's calligraphy and painting as proof, Also, there is the queen's token, which is buried under the third peach tree outside Zhiran Hall."

"If so, An Fuquan, come and dig it out for me."

"There is no need to dig. There is indeed something buried under the peach tree. But the thing was buried by the minister himself." Li Xi stood up suddenly, then knelt down in front of Jing Wenhao again, and said: "The thing was made by the minister. , but it is definitely not the token of love she said. I don’t want to put that object in front of others, if it is because of this that the case cannot be investigated clearly, please ask the emperor to deal with it according to the palace rules.”

Jing Wenhao didn't care about other things, he helped Li Xi up first, and said: "Speak well, why kneel?"

Looking at the court lady again, she said, "Lan Xin, from Zhangjia Village in the suburbs of Beijing. He entered the palace at the age of seven to receive education, followed Chen Momo of the Shangshan Bureau at the age of eight, and entered the Palace of Concubine Xi at the age of 11. Until last year, the queen entered the Palace of Zhiran , you transferred again. There is an older brother in the family. Your brother doesn't think about making progress, he doesn't want to be an honest farmer, but he is good at cheating and kidnapping. No girl in the village has been willing to marry him. Somehow half a year ago, the The family moved to this capital, bought a house with three entrances and three exits, and then married a lady from a rich family. Should I say that your brother is lucky or bad? By the way, the previous ones in the Queen's Palace Why did that third-class guard suddenly jump two more ranks and become the chief guard at Zhengyangmen? Don’t you think it’s a coincidence?”

"Emperor, what does the Emperor mean? Slave, I don't know." Lan Xin said tremblingly.

"I don't know what I mean, but I will tell you clearly. You want to wrong the queen because of her soft heart and know the things he buried under the peach tree. The queen doesn't want to make the evidence public. That's because those objects are the evidence between the queen and me. I don't want to shake the queen's mind, but it's not that I can't do anything about you. Didn't you say that the child in this belly belongs to the queen? Then you'd better pray It’s best to have the queen’s blood in this belly. If I can keep you for three days, then I can keep you for three months. Before this child is born, I will let you live in this palace with good food and drink. Say, on the day the child falls to the ground, you will recognize your relatives with a drop of blood. If it is really the queen's child, I will protect you for the rest of your life. This type of punishment is just for you to give it a try." When Jing Wenhao said this, the sinister look on his face surprised everyone.

"Emperor, Your Majesty, the Empress did such a thing, why, how can I only punish the servant girl?" Although she was full of astonishment, Lan Xin still said tremblingly.

"Children can't be taught. What I just said is so clear, why can't you understand. The queen is unparalleled to me. Don't say that I know he won't do such a mediocre thing, even if he really does it." Yes, I'll take it all. If the child in your stomach is really his, I will still feel pain, but if your stomach is fake, adultery/adulterance, framing the queen, deceiving the king and committing crimes, multiple crimes and punishment, Killing your nine clans is not enough to relieve the queen. Do you understand what I said?" Jing Wenhao ignored the panic in everyone's hearts, and he was not afraid of what the people in the palace would say about him after today. For his reputation, he cared more about whether Li Xi would be wronged.Besides, this ancestor didn't pass down the rules saying that a good king can't be a tyrant, and he is still angry with the crown today.

When Lan Xin heard this, she hurriedly kowtowed and said, "The emperor save the servant's family, save the servant."

Jing Wenhao sat back on the teacher's chair, took a sip of tea, and then slowly said: "An Fuquan, take it down, let the clan mansion make a new record, and send it to me after finishing the files. Tell the people in the clan mansion, It must be uprooted. There are two other guards, one guarding her family and the other guarding her. If there is any mistake, come and see me."

Eunuch An and the people in the clan mansion were all terrified, and took the crying maid down again.

After the palace people retreated, Li Xi kept frowning.Jing Wenhao waved his hand in front of Li Xi's eyes, and said, "What are you doing here? Are you tired?"

Li Xi came back to his senses, shook his head, and said: "The emperor forgives the crime of transgression, but the insidious words just now should not come from the mouth of the emperor. A benevolent person loves others, and people also love him. Only benevolent government can last forever. The emperor's body The art of punishing the heart and controlling others that I learned when I was a prince should not be used in the first scene. From punishing the imperial physician to punishing the maid who passed on the message, to today, the emperor is not afraid that the palace people will spread rumors outside the palace. It’s even more out of control. If it’s just for talking, it’s okay, but if you let someone who wants to listen to it and make use of it, won’t the emperor think about the consequences?”

Seeing Li Xi's serious face, Jing Wenhao grinned.

Seeing Jing Wenhao's reluctance, Li Xi was a little annoyed at the moment, and said loudly, "Your Majesty, did you listen carefully to my minister's advice? Or did the Emperor think that my minister's remarks were too superficial, so he laughed like this. "

Jing Wenhao took Li Xi's hand, and said with a serious face: "Of course I'm listening, don't wrong me, I'm serious about listening. I'm just happy, this is the first time in the past few days, you have taken the initiative to talk to me. I talk so much."

As Jing Wenhao said, he simply grabbed Li Xi's hand, put it on his lips for a quick suck, and said with a smile, "The empress is caring about me."

Li Xi was narrating his worries in a serious manner, but when Jing Wenhao made such a fuss, his ears turned red, he quickly pulled out his hand, said: "This is the duty of a minister," and walked towards the inner room.

Seeing Li Xi's appearance, Jing Wenhao no longer chased after him, but drove to the clan's mansion in person. Li Xi was there first, and he didn't have a full blown attack. Now is the time to really start trial.

All the people in the clan's mansion already knew what happened in the Zhiran Hall today, and when they saw Jing Wenhao at this time, they all knelt down to say hello to Jing Wenhao, including his good brother.

"Brother Huang, why is Brother Huang here?" Jing Wenxi felt unhappy seeing Jing Wenhao.

"The empress is too merciful. He was here just now, and it's not easy for me to get angry. Isn't this case not over yet?" Jing Wenhao didn't care how shocked Jing Wenxi was, he just went to the cell on his own.

"Liu Siming, is the record ready?" Jing Wenhao entered the cell, followed by a group of people.

Liu Siming immediately got up from the chair, knelt down and said, "Go back to the emperor, I was just asking."

"Where did it go?"

"I just said that he had an affair with that guard four months ago, and was discovered by Lamei, the maid of honor next to Concubine Zhen." Liu Siming knelt and returned.

"The rest, I'll be the presiding judge. Someone bring me La Mei." Jing Wenhao sat on the presiding judge's chair and ordered.

Lamei was quickly brought over, and after Lamei and Lan Xin knelt in a row, Jing Wenhao said to Lan Xin again: "Continue to explain."

At this moment, Lan Xin couldn't care about the cannibalistic expression on Lamei's face, and said: "At that time, the servant girl was so jealous, and Lamei, who was in the same room as the servant girl, found out and said that she had found a way for me, and asked me to find a way , touched the queen's bed, and left everything after that to them."

"What happened next? Who are they? Tell me clearly." Jing Wenhao looked stern.

"Lamei said, as long as I do what she said, the concubine Zhen will settle down my family and Brother Da Niu. Let me wait until the child grows up to come out and testify against the queen, saying that concubine Zhen will keep me no matter what. Life, and will keep the secret between me and Brother Big Niu, let me go out of the palace after this incident, and stay with Brother Big Niu."

"You're talking nonsense, I don't know anything, how can you rely on me for doing such shameless things yourself. The emperor decides for his servants and for the concubine Zhen. There must be some people who don't like the concubine Zhen being favored. That's why you wronged the empress so much." As soon as Lan Xin finished speaking, Lamei began to cry.

"Your Majesty, this servant is telling the truth, and this servant also has the letter written by Concubine Zhen as proof." The two of them were completely torn apart, and at this moment, regardless of their care, they wanted to put each other to death.

"Your Majesty, at that time, the servants were afraid and did not dare to do this. They wanted to find a proof, so the concubine Zhen wrote a letter in her own handwriting. At that time, Lamei wanted me to burn it, so I secretly hid one. What is written on it is the request and remuneration of Concubine Zhen." Lan Xin also confessed everything at this moment.

Jing Wenhao was very happy, the best thing to watch was the dog-eat-dog scene, he said immediately: "Come here, Xuan Daniu. By the way, I invite Concubine Zhen over here."
