The style of the Queen Mother in Qing Dynasty is different

The matter of "curing the disease and saving the patient" can be discussed later, and the interrogation is more important now.

The people from the punishment department moved two chairs and spread thick cushions, and asked the emperor and queen mother to sit down and listen.

The fifth princess stood in front of the prisoner holding a narrow knife to interrogate the prisoner. The minister of the Ministry of punishment stood behind the emperor and accompanied him.

The fifth princess looked around and said, "Look at this ostentation, you are considered lucky."

The prisoner who was still tied to the plank wept silently. He didn't want this luck.

He sucked his nose hard and begged, "I'll say it! I'll say everything! I just beg the fifth princess not to interrogate me again!"

The interrogation process went smoothly, and the prisoner poured out everything he knew.As long as the fifth princess guides her at the right time, it doesn't take much effort at all.

At the end of the interrogation, the jailer untied the prisoner and sent him back to his cell.Before leaving, the prisoner knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the emperor continuously.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for saving your life. Thank you, Your Majesty, for saving your life. The guilty minister failed His Majesty. He deserves death!"

emperor:"……"

Faced with this gratitude, the emperor was speechless, he could only wave his hand and ask the jailer to take him down quickly.

The fifth princess has a temporary office in the Ministry of Punishment. The emperor sent the officials of the Ministry of Punishment to work. He talked to Qiqige and the fifth princess.

The emperor first praised the fifth princess a few words, "Your interrogation skills are good. You set traps when asking questions. Ask important questions a few times to see if the answers are consistent before and after. This is very good."

The fifth princess was very happy to be praised. She couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth, and said very modestly: "My daughter is stupid. These days, I have learned a lot from the adults in the Ministry of Punishment."

The emperor nodded, "Indeed, I haven't learned much about interrogation skills, but you have learned a lot about torture!"

Fifth Princess blinked her eyes nervously, and bit her lower lip tightly with her white teeth.

The emperor made an expression of sudden realization, "Oh! I made a mistake. It shouldn't be the fifth princess who learns from others in terms of torture. It should be the people from the Ministry of Punishment who learn from you!"

The fifth princess quibbled softly, "I... I didn't use torture. The prisoner said he had a stomachache, so I'll treat him."

Qiqige also helped the fifth princess to speak, "Stomach pain is a serious illness. He must have an intestinal ulcer, and the rotten intestine must be cut off to heal! Our fifth princess is very kind, and he is treating the disease and saving people while trying the case."

The fifth princess nodded repeatedly. At this moment, she is very kind in front of Huang Ama. It doesn't matter whether the prisoner's stomach hurts or not.

The emperor sneered, "It turns out that the fifth princess is still a bodhisattva!"

Qiqige smoothed things over with a smile, "This kid has a kind heart since he was a child."

Just when Qiqige spoke, the emperor pointed the cannon fire at Qiqige.

"Before you came, Queen Mother said that you are a kind and weak person. For my sake, you are very kind to those criminals."

Qiqige was speechless, she rolled her eyes, and suddenly pointed at the fifth princess.

"It's all her! She did it all, I don't know anything in the palace!"

The fifth princess stared wide-eyed. Although the facts were true, why did the emperor's grandmother do this?The speed of her betrayal is too fast!

The fifth princess quickly bit back, "I was instructed by the emperor's grandmother to do this, and I am also a weak, kind and good person!"

Qiqige: "Don't talk nonsense! I am innocent!"

The fifth princess: "The emperor's grandmother is responsible for supervision, you did not watch over me, this is your dereliction of duty!"

Qiqige: "Wow! How shameless you can say that!"

The emperor sat on the side and applauded expressionlessly, "This trick should be added during the interrogation. How many things can't be found out when the prisoners fight each other and engage in internal strife?"

Qiqige and the fifth princess kept their mouths shut, and the emperor scolded the fifth princess.

"Is it appropriate for you to cut someone's stomach with a knife for a daughter's family? You also said that you are making a contribution to medical skills, but you really know how to put gold on your face!"

The fifth princess bowed her head silently and listened to the training. She did not argue or admit her mistakes.

The emperor cursed a few words, then lightly exposed the matter when he got angry.

"For the sake of your meritorious interrogation, I will not pursue your murder for the time being. When the case is over, I will see how I discipline you!"

The emperor and Qiqige left the punishment department, and the fifth princess stayed there to continue her work.

Sitting in the carriage, the emperor smiled wryly and shook his head, "Fifth girl's methods are a bit fierce, but they are really effective. But she is a girl. With such a fierce reputation, how can she marry?"

Qiqige thought to herself: Isn't it hard to find a man with two legs?At worst, just take it by force!With such an identity condition, if you don't use it, you will be at a disadvantage!

Qiqige suppressed unhealthy thoughts in her heart, and said nice things in her mouth.

"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Don't worry too much. The fate will come naturally. Look at the eldest princess and the others. They couldn't get married at the beginning. Don't they have a family now? The children are quite old."

The emperor nodded in agreement, "Emperor Niang's words are justified."

Qiqige said: "You are already busy with the affairs of the court. You should worry less about others and care more about yourself! If you are full of energy and have nowhere to vent, you should care more about the queen. Suo'etu will not do things with her." She didn't know about the discussion. Thanks to her in charge of the harem these days, I have saved a lot of trouble."

The emperor sneered, "The queen may not have such a heart, did she use all kinds of means to pave the way for the prince?"

Suo'etu sent a message to the south, and when the prince got the news, he asked the emperor to return to Beijing early under the pretext of being ill.The prince's move hurt the emperor's heart, and the emperor angered the queen, thinking that the Hesheli family had no good people.

Qiqige persuaded the emperor to think about it, "People are not sages and sages can do nothing. The queen has done something wrong before, but she is indeed innocent in this matter. The temptation of the throne is too great. Which princes are not Ready to move? Aside from matters related to the throne, the queen has done everything very well."

The emperor still couldn't care less, he always thought of the expression on the prince's face when he returned to Beijing due to illness, the eagerness to try hidden under the mask of exhaustion was chilling.

Qiqige said: "Others are others, and the queen is the queen. When you go back to the palace, go see her. You should listen to what Jiefa's wife is saying."

The emperor changed the subject with a smile, "Emperor Niang is really kind-hearted, the empress used to be so angry with you, and you still speak for her."

"Oh, I can't help it. The white lotus ran around my palace a few times with long legs. I also changed my temper and became the living Bodhisattva of the Virgin Mary."

The emperor didn't know who Bai Lianhua was, but that didn't stop him from flattering him.

"Emperor Niang is not only a living Bodhisattva, but you also have vajra thunderbolts! You really have strategies and methods, and you can actually eradicate Suo'etu's party. I can't do anything against them!"

The emperor praised too much, but Qiqige accepted it all.

"Yes, yes, I am smart and wise. Your praises are very realistic! It is my credit for the calmness of the court! The ministers can come to the court happily and go home happily. Who? Rely on me!"

Qiqige touched her chin and thought, "In order to reward me, let each of the ministers of the court write an article to praise me! The theme is very simple, just praise me, praise me hard! The rhetoric is required to be gorgeous, but the words should not be too vulgar; The words and sentences should be concise, but not too few; they should also be catchy, but they should not use any words for the sake of rhyming!"

The emperor was sitting on pins and needles, frequently lifting the curtain to look out.

Qiqige poked him on the back, "Son, did you hear me?"

The emperor rubbed his hands anxiously, "Oh! I'm going to enter the palace soon, I'll go see the queen first! What can I say when I go?"

Qiqige: "Hey! Don't pretend you can't hear me!"

The emperor took out the Buddhist beads that he carried with him and stuffed them into Qiqige's hands, then closed his eyes and covered his ears with his hands.

Qiqige lowered her head to look at the Buddha beads, then thumped the emperor's back hard.

What do you mean?Is this just not listening to bastards chanting scriptures?

In order to avoid Qiqige's pursuit, the emperor went straight to the queen after returning to the palace.

I don't know how the couple chatted, the emperor stayed at the Kunning Palace that night, and the emperor stayed at the queen's place for several days after that.

Seeing the emperor defending the empress, the concubines in the palace dare not gossip, but their hearts are bubbling with sourness.

After all, it is a married couple, and the emperor treats the queen differently from others.

The emperor treated the queen with some warmth, but treated Suo'etu as cold as winter.He speeded up the interrogation process and dealt with several people directly by means of thunder.

Although Suo'etu still has one life left, he will be imprisoned in the clan mansion for life, and life in confinement will not be easy.

All the ministers in the court were scared out of their wits, and all of them shrank honestly, not daring to make any more petty moves.

Shocking the officials, the emperor slowed down the pace of investigation.He hangs all the ministers, making them fearful and terrified all day long.

No one knows who the emperor will arrest next. It is said that the queen mother handed over her little book to the emperor. There are many private things recorded in it, and the matter of Master Liu sending beautiful women is recorded in it.No one knows if there is his name on that book.

When the emperor had enough scaring, he closed the case directly without pursuing it too deeply.He was also afraid that too many officials would be involved, which would delay the normal operation of the court.

It has been half a year since the matter subsided completely, the emperor was not so busy anymore, and began to worry about the marriage of the princesses.

He called the fourth princess, the fifth princess, the sixth princess and the seventh princess, and asked them if they had any favorite candidates.

He said that the fourth princess should take the lead, "You are an elder sister, it's fine if you don't do anything serious on weekdays, but now that you are older, you should take care of yourself."

The fourth princess waved her hands again and again, her little hands were almost shaking out of phantom.

"I don't I don't I don't! I'm just as good as I am now! I don't want to get married!"

The emperor said angrily: "Aren't you going to marry for the rest of your life?"

The fourth princess nodded solemnly, "Daughter does have this kind of thought. I like too many beauties. No matter who I marry, I feel that I owe others. Besides, I am too thoughtful, and I am a playboy who is capricious. Marrying I am afraid that my people will wash their faces with tears every day, am I not cheating!"

The emperor was about to be pissed off by the fourth princess, "Aren't you going to take it easy and be a dedicated person?"

The fourth princess spread her hands, "The country is easy to change, and the nature is hard to change. If I could change it, I would have changed it a long time ago."

The emperor couldn't chew on this hard bone, and he looked at the other three princesses.

Princess Six laughed and said, "Seventh Sister and I are still young! We want to meet a bosom friend, please give us some time."

Seventh Princess nodded in agreement.

The fifth princess glared at the sixth princess, why did she only take the seventh sister, it would be nice if the same sister took me!Save me from wasting my tongue explaining to Huang Ama.

The sixth princess shrugged her shoulders and curled her lips. The fifth sister really can't afford to take care of her. You have a cold face full of evil spirits, and you can't believe it even if you wait for the confidant Emperor Ama!

Sure enough, the emperor looked at the fifth princess with disgust.

"I told you not to cut people, but you refused to listen! Now that you have a bad reputation, you have already scared away your close friends!"

The fifth princess said indifferently: "It's hard to find a confidant, but it's not hard to find a man with two legs. I ask Huang Ama to build me a princess mansion, and whoever I like will take it back to the mansion to be my forehead. You are good at riding and archery, not to mention one forehead, I can snatch ten or eight!"

The emperor was dizzy for a moment, he held his forehead and said weakly: "Are you a bandit? The person who snatched the forehead, can you snatch his heart?"

The fifth princess was very surprised, "What do I want his heart for? I've cut so many people's hearts, and it's no longer rare. Huang Ama, there are a few young officials in the Ministry of Punishment who are quite handsome, and they haven't married yet. I think... ..."

The emperor stretched out his hand to stop him: "No! Don't think about it!"
