A concubine enters the mansion? Reborn, three matchmakers and six engagements to marry the Prime Min
Chapter 585 Coming one after another
After Emperor Xuande finished his question, Su Qingyu stood up and walked to the center of the hall and knelt down. "Your Majesty, this is a birthday gift from me to Empress Chen. But I don't know what the evil thing Lord Sun mentioned is. Please investigate it."
Emperor Xuande was a little surprised to see Su Qingyu coming forward.
Not only Emperor Xuande, but everyone else present was also shocked. They thought it was a fight between the concubines for favor, how could it be related to the Shen family?
The third wife of the Su family, Mrs. Hai, and the youngest wife of the Zhao family, Mrs. Yan, both looked solemn at this time.
Su Yuanzhou's expression did not change, he just glanced coldly at the seat where the Li family was sitting.
Emperor Xuande pondered for a moment and said, "Su, after your fan entered the palace, is there any possibility that it was replaced by someone else? And who of the people serving you can touch this fan?"
Su Qingyu was Shen Zhixiu's wife, and Emperor Xuande didn't believe she would do such a treasonous thing. He would rather believe that someone was trying to frame the Shen family.
Princess Yongjia's eyes showed a layer of indignation. Her brother really trusted Shen Zhixiu. Even though the evidence was irrefutable, he was unwilling to directly convict Su Qingyu.
But it doesn’t matter, she has a backup plan.
Princess Yongjia winked at Censor Chen who was sitting diagonally opposite her, and Censor Chen nodded slightly.
He stood up and walked to the center of the hall, "Your Majesty, I have something to report."
This Censor Chen was the Left Censor-in-Chief of the Censorate, and held the second rank. He did not form cliques or factions, and did not participate in the fight for the throne. He was a loyal minister. Even the emperor praised him highly.
Before the Li family was demoted, Princess Yongjia did not ask Censor Chen to plead for mercy, but waited until the most critical moment to use them.
Emperor Xuande looked at Censor Chen and said, "Lord Chen, we should investigate the origin of this evil object now. If it is a government matter, we can discuss it in the morning court tomorrow."
Censor Chen said, "Your Majesty, what I want to report is related to Lord Shen, and may also be related to this evil creature."
Emperor Xuande was startled and narrowed his eyes slightly. "You say."
Censor Chen was obviously well prepared. He took out a stack of papers from his bosom and handed them to Manager Hu.
Then he said, "I received news yesterday that Lord Shen has been communicating with Zhai Fang, the leader of the Jiuli tribe on the Miao frontier, and the two have been in close contact."
"There is another thing that I find strange. Mr. Zhou, the genius doctor who lives in the Shen family, is actually a descendant of the An family in Qianzhou. And this An family is none other than An Gaoda, the governor of Qianzhou during the reign of Emperor Jing. Back then, An Gaoda was executed along with his entire family for treason."
"Your Majesty, do you still remember the palace banquet? Mr. Zhou saw through the witchcraft. There is no guarantee that he will not cast a spell to retaliate against the royal family and the Great Zhou."
"I brought this evidence into the palace with me, intending to report it to the Emperor in private after the banquet."
"But when I saw that the gift sent by Madam Shen San contained an evil object, I felt that these things might be related."
When Censor Chen said this, the whole hall was in an uproar.
If the evidence is conclusive, then the Shen family will be accused of treason and collaborating with the enemy.
Su Qingyu knelt on the ground and her face changed. She only knew that they wanted to frame her for using witchcraft to harm people, but she didn't know that Mr. Zhou had such an identity.
She had also thoroughly investigated Mr. Zhou, but didn't find these. Was it that the Third Master's people didn't find this, or that the Third Master didn't tell her?
Emperor Xuande frowned and said nothing. He looked at the contents of the paper in his hand, and his expression became uglier and uglier the more he read.
If everything said above can be verified, then Shen Zhixiu should be killed.
Emperor Xuande didn't say anything for a long time after reading it, and suddenly looked at Chen Zheng again, "What did Minister Chen say?"
Chen Zheng stood up and walked to the center of the hall. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, I think these are not enough to convict Lord Shen."
"But I have one thing that I don't understand. When he took Mr. Zhou in, did he know that he was the descendant of a criminal?"
"Have you considered the emperor's safety by placing him in the capital?"
"If Lord Shen doesn't know about this, then these things have nothing to do with him."
It seemed like he was defending Shen Zhixiu, but in fact, it was also equivalent to giving him a push.
Emperor Xuande and the civil and military officials all knew what Shen Zhixiu was capable of. If he could stay in the palace, his ancestors must have been thoroughly investigated.
Emperor Xuande was filled with hatred when he thought that Shen Zhixiu knew that such a person was in his mansion, but he did not show any clues, and even condoned this person to murder Da Zhou.
Emperor Xuande looked coldly at Su Qingyu who was kneeling on the ground, "Su, do you admit your guilt?"
The court officials and ladies who were on good terms with the Shen family were all worried for Su Qingyu. Without Shen Zhixiu, how could she, a woman, handle all these things?
Song Zan, Marquis of Loyalty, wanted to speak, but he didn't know the inside story and didn't dare to speak rashly.
Su Yuanzhou looked at Su Qingyu. He believed that his sister was capable of responding.
In this situation, both he and Song Zan had to be extremely careful about what they said. Especially they couldn't speak rashly just because they were favored by the emperor.
Su Qingyu knelt on the ground, lowering her head and thinking. The Third Master hadn't come back yet, and she didn't know how to deal with the next thing. But what she could do now was to buy time for the Third Master.
Thinking of this, Su Qingyu raised her head and looked at Emperor Xuande. Her back was straight and her expression was open.
"Your Majesty, I have something to say."
Censor Chen snorted, "Madam Shen San, no matter how eloquent you are, it cannot change the fact that you intend to murder Empress Chen and the Great Zhou."
Su Qingyu's eyes were clear, without any trace of guilt. She turned around and asked Censor Chen, "Sir Chen, even if the Ministry of Justice is trying the case, shouldn't it give people a chance to argue?"
"As the Left Censor-in-Chief of the Censorate, a second-rank official, is this how Censor Chen usually handles government affairs?"
Censor Chen was speechless for a moment. Upon hearing this, Emperor Xuande said, "Su, just say whatever you want to say."
He also wanted to hear what Su Qingyu had to say.
Su Qingyu said, "Can you please let me see the silk paper? I did put something in the fan handle, but it's not evil."
When Princess Yongjia heard what Su Qingyu said, a sneer suddenly appeared on her lips.
Of course, the show has to be done in full. Even people who can understand Miao language cannot see anything unusual about the content on the silk paper today.
In the eyes of the people of the Central Plains, Miaojiang is a mysterious place. A poisonous insect can make people do whatever they want, and a spell can kill people.
In fact, there is no talisman on the silk paper. Translated from Miao language, it is words cursing Da Zhou and Concubine Chen.
Su Qingyu said this out of a fluke mentality, hoping to find a way to refute it from the content. Unfortunately, her wishful thinking was wrong.
Judging from the reaction of the emperor's brother, this matter was considered a success. It was not in vain that he asked Zhang Tianshi to look up the classics and come up with this thing.
However, this incident was just a small matter for the Shen family. The following incidents were what could really cost the lives of Shen Zhixiu and others.
Princess Yongjia took a sip of the wine in her hand, with a gleam of excitement in her eyes.
