Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen
Chapter 116: Twists and turns, the witness is fake!
Jiang Qingyu stared at Jiang Qingwu in a daze, then calmed himself down.
"Marry, of course."
"That's it." Jiang Qingwu nodded, took the imperial edict and handed it to Wanyue, "Let's go."
"Leave? Where are you going, so early in the morning?"
"Don't worry about it. Just prepare for the wedding and get married."
Having said that, Jiang Qingwu stuffed the jade seal into his clothes and strode out the door.
Wan Yue and Zhuang Qing behind him immediately followed with swords and cloaks.
In the Beijing Criminal Department, when Jiang Qingwu arrived, Qin Hongyue and the others had already met Hongdou.
The family of four hugged each other and cried together.
Jiang Qingwu stood outside the old gate, staring at the four people, frowning secretly.
Just when he was distracted, the guards of the Capital Criminal Department hurried in from outside.
"Miss Jiang, a man who claims to be delivering a letter for the Queen said he wants to give this letter to you."
Upon hearing the voice, Jiang Qingwu immediately took the letter from the guard's hand.
Seeing this, Wanyue also came over.
Looking at the contents of the letter, both of them were shocked and looked at the four people who were crying loudly in the cell.
……
Near noon, in Shangyang Palace.
Jiang Qingwu invited the emperor, Yan Xiuchen, Concubine Shen, Shen Chengshan and the left prime minister.
Yan Xiuchen sat in a chair next to the emperor, and Concubine Shen sat next to the emperor.
Shen Chengshan and Zuo Xiang stood on one side of the hall, and Jiang Qingwu stood on the other side.
"Why hasn't he come yet..." The emperor held the teacup in his hand, yawning from time to time, perhaps because he was still sleepy or tired of waiting.
"The Queen has arrived..."
"I see you, Your Majesty."
Seeing the queen coming to the palace, the emperor impatiently signaled to Jiang Qingwu, "Jiang Qingwu, everyone is here, let's begin."
"Jiang Qingwu, you have investigated it clearly in just one day?" Concubine Shen looked calm, without any panic.
Jiang Qingwu smiled slightly and looked at Concubine Shen, "Have you investigated it thoroughly? Concubine Shen... should know."
Jiang Qingwu echoed and stepped forward to salute the emperor, "Your Majesty, the poisoning has been investigated thoroughly."
"It was Concubine Shen who instructed Qin Hongdou, who was beside the Queen, to poison the Tremella soup in order to frame the Queen."
Hearing this, Concubine Shen sneered, "Nonsense, Jiang Qingwu, don't talk nonsense. Where are the evidence and witnesses?"
"The witness is outside the door. Your Majesty, please allow me to enter the palace."
"Speak." The emperor agreed and yawned deeply again.
Upon seeing this, Yan Xiuchen turned around and looked at the emperor carefully, frowning secretly.
After a while, Luo Ming and Wan Yue brought Qin Hongdou and her family in.
Several people knelt on the ground in panic and kowtowed quickly.
"Qin Hongdou, let me ask you, who instructed you to poison the Queen Mother?"
Qin Hongdou looked up at the Queen, then at Concubine Shen, and then lowered her head slightly.
"I didn't poison her. I was just delivering Tremella soup to the Queen."
"It was the Queen who poisoned me."
"Yesterday, I told you the truth."
"Even if the young lady threatens me with my family, even if the young lady tortures me to death, I will tell the truth."
As soon as Qin Hongdou finished speaking, Yan Xiuchen suddenly sat up straight and his expression suddenly changed.
Even Jiu Ye and Jiu Han in the corner behind were shocked.
"What did you say?" Yan Xiuchen shouted angrily.
But when he looked at Jiang Qingwu, he found that Jiang Qingwu's face looked calm.
When Qin Hongdou heard what Yan Xiuchen said, she knelt down and took two steps forward and said, "Your Majesty, please make the decision."
"Miss Jiang relied on the power of the Regent to kidnap me and my family and bring them to the Capital Criminal Court, where she tortured me..."
"You even threatened me with my family and slandered the Imperial Concubine."
"Your Majesty, please make the decision."
Yan Xiuchen listened, his face dark and terrifying, and he stood up suddenly.
"Last night, your family was kidnapped by Yan Lin and in danger, but Jiang Qingwu risked his life to save them."
"Regent, please stop pretending. My sister has already said that it was you who took my sister back to the palace last night and tried to bully her."
As she spoke, Qin Hongdou kowtowed to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, it was the Regent, the Regent and Jiang Qingwu who took my sister and my family away."
"They are using their lives and innocence to bring me to my knees."
"My sister, mother, and brother can testify..."
The emperor had a complicated expression on his face and looked at Yan Xiuchen cautiously.
Seeing that the emperor was about to speak, Jiang Qingwu took two steps forward and looked at Qin Hongyue and her family.
"Let me ask you, who is right, the Regent or Qin Hongdou?"
The blind mother shrank her body and dared not make a sound. The eight-year-old child also lowered his head and dared not move.
Only Qin Hongyue murmured hesitantly, "Yes... yes Qin, Qin Hongdou said, it's right."
Concubine Shen smiled, turned around and yelled at the emperor, "Your Majesty, look, Jiang Qingwu is relying on the favor of the Regent to wrongly accuse me to death."
"Okay, okay, don't worry, I'm here, and I can't do anything to you."
"Your Majesty, you must not favor Jiang Qingwu and the Queen. These things were caused by the Queen and Jiang Qingwu, and the Regent is also an accomplice..."
"Shut up." The emperor suddenly shouted.
It would have been fine if Yan Xiuchen hadn't been mentioned, but as soon as Yan Xiuchen was mentioned, the emperor's expression immediately changed.
"Um... Jiang Qingwu, what's going on? In order to help the queen, you can't..."
The emperor was halfway through his words when he saw Yan Xiuchen turning around and looking at him. He immediately lowered his voice and said, "You can't do anything rash. This matter should be handled fairly and justly."
"Your Majesty is right. This matter involves the Queen Mother, the Empress, the Imperial Concubine, and now even the Regent is involved."
"Of course we have to get to the bottom of this, and be fair and just."
Jiang Qingwu stood still in the hall, and after he finished speaking, he turned and walked towards Qin Hongdou.
"Qin Hongyue, let me ask you, is Qin Hongdou your sister?"
"Yes, it's me, my sister."
"Then how old is she, what's her zodiac sign, what month was she born, and when did she enter the palace?"
Qin Hongyue was startled for a moment, raised her eyes to look at Jiang Qingwu, then looked at Qin Hongdou in panic.
"You can't tell, right? Okay."
"Mother Qin, let me ask you again, when were Qin Hongdou and Qin Hongyue, your daughters, born? How old are they?"
The blind old mother opened her mouth and then fell to her knees in fear.
Seeing this, Jiang Qingwu chuckled, "You don't have to speak now, but if you still don't speak later, I won't be polite."
As he spoke, Jiang Qingwu shouted to the outside of the door, "Someone, bring them up."
After saying that, Jiang Qingwu's men outside the door brought three or four people up.
A couple, a middle-aged woman, and a little girl of four or five years old.
When everyone saw these people, they were all confused, except Concubine Shen, who looked a little panicked.
"Who... who are these?" The emperor looked at Jiang Qingwu in confusion.
Jiang Qingwu raised his eyes to look at the emperor, and out of the corner of his eye he saw Yan Xiuchen's face full of surprise.
"Your Majesty, they are the son and daughter-in-law of this old woman."
"This middle-aged woman is the child's mother, and this little girl is Qin Hongyue's biological sister."
"The three of them are not actually Qin Hongdou's family members, but villagers kidnapped from Sanfu Village by Concubine Shen."
