Behind the note, a few words were appended, asking King Qi to investigate thoroughly and then investigate Shang Datian's case thoroughly.
Lao Wu also sent someone to deliver a letter to Yuan Qingling. It was not tied to Fei Ge. Fei Ge could only have a piece of paper tied to his leg. He wrote another letter and ordered eight hundred li to be added.
Send it to my wife urgently.
That night, Yuan Qingling received a letter from Lao Wu. He said that he and Lao Biao Su had indeed invited women from the church to drink together, but those women were just cooking wine aside and he didn't even want to listen to the music.
Not to mention serving you closely.
As for Zuiyue, she tried to get close to him, tried to contact him, but was reprimanded and backed down by him. If he doesn't believe it, he can ask Rude and Su Laobiao.
King Qi had asked Old Biao Su a long time ago, and it was indeed as Yu Wenhao said. Moreover, after Yu Wenhao drank some wine that night, he got angry and scolded Zui Yuehao. The main reason was that he said
I wanted to stay close to Yu Wenhao, but Zuiyue stuck to her several times, and once she deliberately spilled wine on her chest, trying to stick it to Yu Wenhao, but Yu Wenhao pushed her to the ground. Therefore, the banquet that day was basically unhappy.
scattered.
After Yuan Qingling learned the facts, he asked Tang Yang to send people to Hongzhou Prefecture to inquire about Shang Datian and see what the people thought of him. He also asked other officials in the counties under the jurisdiction of Hongzhou Prefecture and Shang Datian
Tian's achievements during his tenure were then verified by the Ministry of Personnel, because the Ministry of Personnel previously had official assessments every year. After completing the instructions, he called Zuiyue to come to the Prince of Chu's Mansion, and she wanted to question him.
Zuiyue dressed up, came to Prince Chu's Mansion, and saw Yuan Qingling.
The moment she saw Yuan Qingling, she looked horrified. I thought that a woman who had given birth to several sons and was pregnant would have a haggard face and a swollen face that made her look old. But the Crown Princess did not put on any makeup and wore plain clothes and combed her hair.
She wears a simple bun with a cloud-head jasper hairpin, but it is so beautiful that people can't take their eyes away.
This kind of beauty is not in the skin, but in the bones. Her skin is fair but rosy. Her bulging belly does not make her look bloated. Instead, she is somewhat charming. Her lips are not dotted but slightly red. Her eyebrows are not painted but are elegant. Her temperament is not
The unique nobility of a lady is actually an indescribable confidence and elegant beauty.
She swallowed the sad feeling and still did not step forward to salute, but just stood in front of Yuan Qingling.
Yuan Qingling looked at her and took stock. She was indeed a beautiful and arrogant woman, but her pursed lips revealed the unwillingness and sourness in her heart.
Yuan Qingling wanted to find out the truth, so he did not embarrass her and said gently: Miss Qiudie, please sit down!
The words "Miss Qiudie" caused Zuiyue's face to change color slightly. She looked at Yuan Qingling and said nothing, but after a moment, she walked over and sat down, raised her sleeves, put her hands together in front of her, and her posture was like
She is still the daughter of the prefect.
His face has returned to being cold and cold, and still has a slight sarcasm. Thank you Crown Princess for sitting down!
Well! Yuan Qingling asked for tea.
Zuiyue said calmly: Princess, there is no need to pretend to be good. If you are angry, reprimand me, or even beat me, everyone can understand. Women should be jealous, especially since I am a woman from such a place.
Naturally, it will be in the eyes of the Crown Princess.
Yuan Qingling looked at her, not that if you had anything to do with the prince, I wouldn't see you either.
Zuiyue sneered, didn't the Crown Princess believe it? Then the Crown Princess was too confident. No man would really concentrate on a woman, especially someone like the Crown Prince. However, the Crown Prince and I were just having fun, but if she really is that clear and exquisite,
It's not surprising that the prince would like the appearance of a beautiful woman, it's just a matter of sooner or later.
Yuan Qing Lingdao: What you said makes sense, but even if there is such a problem between me and the prince, it is our business and has nothing to do with you. You don’t have to worry about it. I called you here because I wanted to talk to you.
Talk about your father.
Zuiyue was startled for a moment, my father?
Well, what kind of person is your father? Yuan Qing Ling asked gently. The father in the eyes of his children may not be objective sometimes, but there must be something worth referring to, such as the father's teachings to his children.
Reluctance and anger slowly rose in Zuiyue's eyes. My father, he should not be convicted. He is an upright and upright official, diligent and caring for the people. He has never taken advantage of others, and he has never participated in the affairs of the eldest prince.
How do you know? Yuan Qingling asked back.
Of course he didn't! Zuiyue was so excited that she suddenly stood up and said sadly and angrily: He said that it was his greatest honor to serve as an official outside the country, and he did not need to participate in the struggle to win the rightful son in the capital. He said that the eldest prince was mediocre and cruel and was not worthy of being a prince.
,How could he participate?
Your father was promoted by Yu Wenjun. Do you think he did the right thing by organizing the eldest prince behind his back? Yuan Qingling asked.
Zuiyue was excited and frightened. He was not wrong. He said that the position of the prince was a major matter for the country. As a person and an official, there must be a distinction between right and wrong. The eldest prince promoted him. It was a kindness, but he could not speak out of conscience.
The prince is talented, he is innocent, he has been convicted and imprisoned, what else do you want to do to him? Do you want to settle the score again? Do you want to kill him?
Yuan Qing Lingdao: At first, the eldest prince's matter would not cost him his life, but you falsely accused the prince of having an affair with you and ruined his reputation. Once he is questioned, it will be enough to implicate him. If he really wants to be questioned and executed, it will be you.
Harm!
Zuiyue's face was full of shock, her lips moved, but she still said sternly: I, I didn't lie.
Yuan Qing Ling's eyes were cold and stern. I know exactly where your clan and family are now. I will give you another chance. Do I want to hear the truth? Do you have them or not?
She took a deep breath, raised her chin slightly, stared straight at Yuan Qingling, took a breath, and said angrily: You can't do this. What I do has nothing to do with my family. I do it alone and everyone is responsible. You
You can chop off my head, but you can't take it out on them.
Yuan Qingling looked at her and said: I heard from Princess Qi that when she asked you, you also asked her to imprison you, and now you asked me to chop off your head. As for what happened to you in the studio, I also
I asked around, you have been practicing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting for a long time, and you have been sick for a long time. In the end, the nanny in the studio was made angry, so she sent you to the studio. But you have been proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since you were a child, and you are talented and intelligent.
You have been practicing for so long? So you tried every means to avoid receiving guests. In the end, you had no choice but to tell the master of the studio that you had a one-night stand with the prince. You were the prince's woman, so the manager of the studio would not send you out again.
Picking up guests, but you knew you would eventually be found out, so you asked Princess Qi to imprison you and let me chop off your head because you couldn't commit suicide. Once you committed suicide, your family would be implicated. Is that so?
Yuan Qingling's words were like a heavy hammer falling on Zuiyue's heart. There was a broken look in her eyes, and the loneliness and pride on her face collapsed little by little. She shed tears in grief, and knelt down.
She cried and said: Since the Crown Princess knows, please give me a break, lest I implicate my relatives. I would rather die than do such a thing.
