Regarding the death of the fifth princess, the truth soon emerged. All the imperial doctors, including Imperial Physician Liu, unanimously agreed that the fifth princess was strangled, and moreover, she was strangled by the concubine Shi herself.

Mrs. He then became excited. She cursed Shi Bin and used her angry curses to prove her innocence. She righteously demanded that Shi Bin be executed immediately. Her theory was that no matter how much merit Shi Bin's father and ancestors had made, it was not enough. In order to cover up Shi Concubine's sins, the tiger's poison is not enough to eat its seeds, and Shi Concubine is worse than an animal.

Then, Mrs. He pointed the finger at the queen.

Only the Queen is Shi Concubine’s benefactor, and only the Queen can instigate Shi Concubine to frame the blame, because the Jiangdong Shi family has no contact with either Changping Zheng or Chen Jun Xie, and of course it is impossible for them to have contact with the Queen’s family, but Shi Concubine Jilai respects the Queen very much. This is not normal. Shi Bin's background is much higher than that of the Queen. Why should he respect the Queen? She must have been deceived by the queen's hypocrisy, and Shi Bin herself was a mad woman, so she was taken advantage of by the queen.

"I also sympathize with Concubine Shi." Madam Xie's words were shocking.

"I also sympathize with Concubine Shi very much." Mrs. Xie emphasized: "She entered the palace not long ago and her body was weak. When she was pregnant, I cared about her very much. Although I have not visited her in person, I will continue to explain and let each room have their own affairs." The Department should not be slow to wait for Shi Concubine. After Shi Concubine gave birth to Wu Niang, Wu Niang has not been doing well due to congenital deficiencies. Although Your Majesty also cares about Wu Niang, Your Majesty is busy with national affairs, and I am responsible for assisting in palace affairs. Therefore, I do not care about Shi Concubine's mother. The woman is very caring.

Shi Bin's words and deeds seemed to be intended to frame me at first, but now it seems that I know that she actually wanted to help me. I don't know why she wanted to strangle Wuniang, but I believe that Shi Bin is not a snake or scorpion. A heart-warming woman.

He, do you dare to say that you really didn't threaten Concubine Shi? "

Yingshu glanced at Wang Qing'e again. Wang Qing'e was still in that exaggerated shock.

Mrs. Xie was not the murderer, Ying Shu sighed.

In her previous life, Mrs. Xie must have said these words. Saying such words was of no benefit to Mrs. Xie. The only purpose was that she wanted to keep Shi Bin.

"The case of Concubine Shi will be discussed later." Sikong Tong named Ying Shu: "Di Xiu, what else do you have to say?"

Yingshu was in shock now, and her emotions were raging. She almost forgot her plan. She was not pretending, she was really confused.

However, Queen Yu came to her senses first and said, "Whether Qian Zhongzhi bribed Tong Nilou or not is a matter for trial. As for Oriole, Mrs. He must explain clearly. Why did you bribe the palace servants of Yuyin Pavilion?"

Queen Yu is not stupid, she also has a keen judgment on the situation. She does not have much knowledge and is not broad-minded, but she understands Sikong Tong better than anyone else. She knows who Sikong Tong is and who she values ​​more. The Shi family has nothing to do with the world. The Xie family is quite chivalrous and can actually win some love from Sikong Tong. Their original plan was to let Xu Cairen's miscarriage cause the Xie family and the He family to be suspicious of each other. Decided to use the Zhang family, but Sikong Tong knew that everything had nothing to do with the Xie family.

Therefore, it is necessary to prepare a trump card that Sikong Tong does not know, but it will not be used today.

Thanks to the trouble caused by Mr. Shi, everything seemed more natural.

Targeting the He family at this time was originally part of the plan.

"Didn't the queen also bribe the concubine's palace servants? If bribery of the palace servants is considered a crime, I'm afraid no one in the entire imperial court can be spared." Mrs. He sneered.

Qian Zhongzhi was quickly "summoned to court," and she also explained the reason: "The bracelet was indeed given to the old slave by Tong Shangyi, but later, the bracelet was stolen, and the old slave reported the loss. The case should be found. book."

This investigation has indeed found it.

Qian Zhongzhi reported the loss a long time ago, but because cases of loss occurred frequently in the palace, there was no housing department responsible for investigating. This pair of jade bracelets was not really a treasure in the palace, so it was Only the slave class feels rare. The demands of slaves are usually ignored. Even if a steward like Qian Zhongzhi has a high status among slaves, people with high status know how to behave better. It doesn't matter if something is missing. Objects are mostly just reported for processing and will not be pursued for investigation.

Now Ni Lou had to be questioned on the spot. Ni Lou was "arraigned". Everyone could see that she didn't actually suffer many flesh wounds, just a few marks on her body, but Zhang had already been confessed. This time she didn't even need to be flogged. When she saw the emperor, she was "frightened out of her wits" and said that the bracelet was given to her by Oriole and that she was bribed by Oriole.

Mrs. He had already admitted on the spot that Oriole was hers, and she couldn't tell her the pain.

However, Oriole denied the theft and bribery, and got into a quarrel with Ni Lou. No one could prove their innocence.

Yingshu watched the farce calmly. This was what she expected. Today's incident should have been within the emperor's plan until now. It is possible that even Shi Concubine was not a problem for the emperor. .

The definite detail is actually herself.

Later, the emperor finally made a decision: "Several parties hold different opinions without any solid evidence. Although Xu Cairen miscarried, I am very sad and angry, but the matter involves the queen and the third lady. Whether you four are in the royal family or in the country, They are all very important, and if there is no solid evidence, I cannot afford to punish them rashly."

Mrs. Zheng:? ? ?

What does it have to do with me? Emperor, you are such a fool! ! !

"Xu Cairen is not awake yet. When he wakes up, I will ask questions before I can make a decision."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Cairen woke up as soon as he should. However, when he learned that she had given birth, she was so heartbroken that she blamed herself for one moment and cursed Mrs. Zhang for another. She was completely unable to communicate normally. The doctors all said that Xu Cairen needed to rest and it was best to rest. Don't be irritated anymore. No matter how important it is, you should wait until Xu Cairen has fully recovered before asking.

Ying Shu made a suggestion at this time - since the Queen is suspected, Xu Cairen should no longer be taken care of by the Queen. Madam Xie is also suspected, and Xu Cairen cannot be taken care of by Madam Xie. She is a witness, but she must not be the murderer. She can She was responsible for taking care of Xu Cairen and swore an oath that if Xu Cairen made any mistakes, she would bear all the blame. If the queen was worried, Jiang Shangyi could be dispatched to supervise him.

This is the real extraneous issue.

The first person to express her support was Mrs. Zheng, who looked upright: "Your Majesty, there have been too many changes today. Even the fifth princess has suffered misfortune. This matter must be investigated clearly and there must be a conclusion. Wang Liangren's words actually make sense. Yes, since the two parties involved are Xianyang Palace and Zhaoyang Palace, it is most appropriate for each party to send one person to take care of Xu Cai until he recovers and supervise each other."

So it was a foregone conclusion.

Mrs. He was very puzzled: "Azheng, we have agreed to cooperate. If you propose this, none of us can interfere. What do you mean?"

"Don't you understand? Your Majesty has to choose Queen Qing and Madam Xie. This incident is actually targeting us. To be more precise, it's you. You acted carelessly and were caught in the act."

"Ha, so you decided to protect yourself wisely?"

"I can protect myself wisely. If you say so, let's pull him down."

"No, sister, please enlighten me."

"Your Majesty has one idea, the Queen has another idea, and the Wang daughter has more ideas. This Wang daughter is not simple. Even I can't figure out her motives and government. But it doesn't matter, we, You can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight."

In addition to He and Zheng, Empress Yu was also full of complaints. She summoned the prince and complained repeatedly: "It was fine at first, but then there was a Shi family. I don't know what evil she had, and she actually killed her own daughter. The Xie family escaped from trouble. Fortunately, the Shi family was targeting the He family, so it did not hinder our plan. But as for Wang Yingshu, she actually proposed that she would take care of the Xu family. How could this be good? The Xu family was about to die, and Wang Yingshu still escaped. Does it matter?"

Sikong Beichen was also in a dilemma: "We can't harm Yingshu. Let's just let this matter go."

"What nonsense are you talking about? How can you give up? Can I still let Mrs. Xu pretend to be crazy? Chen'er, don't forget that the country, the country and the country are the most important!"

"If mother is unwilling to give up." Sikong Beichen stood up and bent slightly: "The country and the country are mine, not mother's. I naturally have my own strategy. If mother had the ability, my brother would not have died."

Yingshu was still thinking about Shi Bin and the fifth princess, but Mrs. Xie took the initiative to talk about it.

Shi Bin's family was originally one of the top ten families in the Jiang family. With the restoration of Dongyu, the Jiangdong Shi family also sent troops and money to help stabilize the foundation of the kingdom. Shi Bin entered the palace voluntarily, Mrs. Xie especially emphasized.

"Her voluntariness is different from mine. I am devoting myself to the family, which is considered a voluntary act. Her voluntary act is because she truly loves His Majesty. Concubine Shi was very favored at first, but then her health deteriorated. For a period of time, she was completely People were going crazy, and their moods were extremely unstable. Later, they gradually recovered, but their bodies were always weak.

When her health deteriorated, she no longer wanted to be his favor. Several times when His Majesty went to visit her, she had her locked up in the palace. I even looked up the specific year. One time I wandered into her residence. In front of the pavilion, it suddenly rained heavily. I went inside to take shelter from the rain and chatted with her for a while. I felt that she still admired His Majesty. Her admiration was different from that of Li Bin. She had no expectations for His Majesty. In short, it was very touching.

From then on, I secretly cared about her and took care of her, although I actually did not recognize her admiration. Later, she became pregnant. When she was pregnant, she almost had a miscarriage several times. After all the hard work, she gave birth to the fifth princess. , I was very happy for her at the time, how could I know that the fifth princess was born with a flaw.

She became a vegetarian, and I even persuaded her. She was already weak and how could she endure being a vegetarian for many years? But she thought that by doing so, the fifth princess would be healthy. Alas, whether the child is healthy or not, eating meat and vegetarianism with her mother What does it matter? The queen eats meat every day, but she doesn't see the prince suffering from any of the three calamities.

I really didn’t understand how she could kill the fifth princess. I actually have no kindness towards her. As for Zhaoji, it’s really the queen who cared for her more. She shouldn’t have done it for me. Although I don’t have children, I understand that a mother's heart cannot harm her child no matter who she is for.

But she should have admitted it, otherwise, she wouldn't have done nothing. "

Mrs. Xie was in a daze that day, because of Shi Bin. She really couldn't figure out why Shi Bin wanted to kill her biological daughter.
