Jia Min's Counterattack

Zheng Bao's guilty eyes dodged, he didn't dare to meet the eyes of the princess, and he was thinking about how to get rid of the lie.

"The princess is so far away, it's hard to guarantee that it wasn't because you were blinded by it, Jia Min pushed me into the water just in an instant!"

The concubine contemptuously gave Zheng Bao a white look, turned her gaze to the emperor and queen on the high seat, and then continued with what she had just said: "The little tricks of the concubine of Dongping County may deceive some people who don't know the truth, but they don't matter. No matter what, you can't deceive the people in the palace. Not to mention whether Princess Huigui really pushed you into the water, even if it is true, the princess of Dongping County will definitely not be in danger. Just ask anyone in the palace You will know that because Jinghu fell into the water many times before and died, the queen mother ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to renovate Jinghu. Within three feet, the deepest part of the water is only up to the shoulders and necks of adult women, and the place closest to the shore can even touch the ground for a child of three or five years old. Since the water in the quiet lake is not enough at all If you harm the Princess of Dongping County, how could you call for help after falling into the still lake?"

"I... I... Maybe it's... Maybe I panicked because I fell into the water suddenly..." There were big drops of sweat on Zheng Bao's forehead. With sweat on his forehead, he was still thinking about how to say it to be convincing.

However, the Crown Princess did not give Zheng Bao a chance to continue, and asked again: "Then, please tell me, Princess Dongping County, where you and Princess Huigui were standing at that time, and how far away from the water was Huigui? Which hand did the princess push you? Which part of your body did you push? Which side did you enter the water first, the front, the back or the side?”

Zheng Bao was stunned by the Crown Princess' questions. She didn't know what the Crown Princess meant by asking her these questions. She tried her best to keep her mind clear and seriously think about the Crown Princess' questions.

"Princess Dongping County, please answer immediately. Since it is a real thing, then the impression of Princess Dongping County must be very deep. Please don't say any excuses that need to be recalled. This happened not long ago. Could it be that Princess Dongping County is Have you aged to such an extent?"

Zheng Bao's originally conceived speech was frightened by the princess's words, and he was confused again, and he was speechless with "I, I" all the time.

"Princess Dongping County! Why didn't you answer the princess's question?" The queen asked in a deep voice, the displeasure in her tone showed that she was about to run out of patience.

Zheng Bao pinched his thigh with all his strength to calm himself down, and then replied in a trembling voice: "I...not...is the minister's wife! The minister's wife and Jia Min stood facing each other. By the quiet lake, she pushed the minister's wife's shoulder with both hands from the front, and the minister's wife entered the water first from the back!"

The concubine showed a mocking smile, she was very disdainful of this self-righteous Zheng Bao in her heart, trying to bring down such a smart woman as Princess Huigui with such a brain, it is really beyond her control!

"Father! Mother! The Princess of Dongping County has confirmed that what I said is true. She deliberately jumped off Jinghu Lake to frame Princess Huigui!"

"I didn't! When did I say...I said yes...I didn't!" Zheng Bao stared at the Crown Princess with wide eyes, shocked by the Crown Princess's eyes as if looking at a dirty thing, wanting to The words to defend himself got stuck in his throat, but no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't understand why the Crown Princess would say such words.

"Shut up! You ignorant fool, you and Princess Huigui are standing by the lake, and the lake is beside them. Since Princess Huigui is pushing your shoulders from the front with both hands, how can you It will be the water that came in behind!" The Duke of Dongping will no longer pretend to be a quail at this time, and if he continues to pretend, the entire palace of the Duke of Dongping will be in trouble with this stupid woman!

After Zheng Bao heard the words of Dongping County King, he realized that he had followed the way of the princess and showed his feet!She was about to say something for herself when she was startled by the emperor's angry shout.

"You still dare to quibble!" The emperor glanced at the trembling Dongping County King and Dongping Princess, and then said, "What does Dongping County King think of your house filling?"

The king of Dongping County didn't expect the emperor to ask such a question. He glanced at his mother and concubine from the corner of his eye. Seeing that Concubine Dongping was also very frightened, he said bravely, "Mr. If there is a loss, if you make a big mistake, the minister will naturally not shelter her, and everything will be subject to the emperor's decision!"

"Hmph! You're pushing it all the way! Mrs. Zheng is your wife. Shouldn't your Dongping County Palace be responsible?"

"This... this... I will do whatever the emperor asks me to do, and I will never say anything!" Dongping County King couldn't use his brain anymore, and just answered the emperor's question instinctively.

Concubine Dongping saw that her stupid son was still unable to make a point, so she said anxiously, "Report to the emperor! Mrs. Zheng made a big mistake, and she should be divorced and returned to her mother's house, but I, Dongping, The Prince's Mansion is not someone who has no responsibility. Since Mrs. Zheng is already a member of the Prince's Mansion of Dongping County, we should bear the responsibility for the mistakes she made! As for Mrs. Zheng, since she made a mistake, she will be punished, so let's punish her. If you meditate in the ancestral hall, you will never get out of it in this life!"

"Just now I ordered you to slap your mouth fifty times to warn others. This Mrs. Zheng refused to accept it and wanted to repeat the old tricks to slander others. It can be seen that she doesn't think there is anything wrong with what she did! Come on! Continue to execute! As for the rest Let’s talk about it later!” His Majesty had agreed with Dongping Dowager’s actions by saying this.

After the execution warrant, the executioner stepped forward again, and two people grabbed Zheng Bao from left and right, and another person stood opposite Zheng Bao and began to slap his mouth without saying a word.At the beginning, I could still hear Zheng Bao's shouts, but after a few moments, there were only groans and groans, and after a while, I couldn't hear Zheng Bao's voice, and only bamboo boards could be heard in the hall. There was a sound of hitting the flesh.When the execution eunuch beat him fifty times, Zheng Bao's face was so bruised that he couldn't see it.

Both men and women in the hall were silent, knowing in their hearts that this was the emperor and the empress trying to make an example of others. They supported Jia Min openly, but in fact, those who tried to provoke the relationship between the Lin family, Rongguo Mansion, King Yan Mansion and the emperor would all see it. It's clear, don't try to do things that offend the emperor.

"Throw this stupid woman out of the palace, and she will not be allowed to step into the palace gate in the future!" The emperor stared at Zheng Bao, who was limp on the ground, in disgust, and then ordered the eunuch to go to Wang's house to pass on his oral order just now.
