"The queen went to Gu Qingcheng to surrender." Only then did Ximen Jingxuan talk about what happened in the palace.
"Surrender yourself?" Lin Xiner was stunned, and then she remembered that Gu Qingcheng was investigating the death of Imperial Physician Chen.
"The queen has confessed that she killed Imperial Doctor Chen. The emperor came to the palace today to discuss the matter of punishing the queen and deposing her," said Ximen Jingxuan.
"How could this happen?" Lin Xiner was surprised.
"Are you surprised too?" Ximen Jingxuan asked.
"Yes, although I have never met the queen and I don't know who she is, but if she really did it, how could she confess so readily? Gu Qingcheng has only been investigating the case for a few days. Did he really find any clues that made her
Can't stand it anymore?" Lin Xiner said.
For a woman who has lived in the palace for many years, Lin Xin'er didn't think that the queen was really a restless person. Some people would deny it in every possible way even if the facts were right in front of them. How could the queen be so eager to surrender?
"When the incident happened, I asked the queen secretly. If she really did it, I would find a way to cover it up. The promise she swore at that time had nothing to do with her." Ximen Jingxuan said, "If she really did it,
She should tell the king first, it is against common sense to confess directly."
"What did she say?" Lin Xiner asked.
"She said that she was afraid that Mrs. Chen would cure Ximen Yin. Ximen Yin's personality and intelligence would be detrimental to the prince's status, so she had a murderous intention. She learned from the Imperial Hospital that Mrs. Chen was going to meet the third prince overnight, so she met him halfway
Waiting, Doctor Chen was unprepared when she saw that it was the Queen. She took the opportunity to assassinate Doctor Chen, and in panic threw the cloak she was wearing on Doctor Chen." Ximen Jingxuan said, "She has been dreaming about it these past few days.
Dr. Chen died tragically, and she was afraid that if Gu Qingcheng found out the truth, the prince would be implicated, so she decided to plead guilty and confess everything, and she also handed over the murder weapon used to assassinate Dr. Chen, which was completely consistent with the results of the autopsy. "
Doesn't the cloak belong to the cloaked person she injured in Chunlin Garden? Lin Xiner was very confused and asked, "That cloak belongs to the Queen?"
Ximen Jingxuan raised his eyes and glanced at Lin Xiner, knowing that she had doubts about the cloak, and explained, "You don't know something. That kind of cloak is not unique to a certain person. It is used by the masters of various gardens in the palace to cover the snow in winter.
, the sizes are almost the same. Men look shorter when wearing them, while women look longer when wearing them. The hat and cloak can be adjusted in size, so they are not considered special evidence. On the contrary, the Queen's words are more consistent with the fact that a cloak was thrown away in a hurry.
If an experienced person intends to commit murder, he or she will generally not drop something."
"Then this matter is settled like this?" Lin Xiner asked. Although Ximen Jingxuan said this, she still felt that the things hidden in it were not simple, and it was not simple to make the queen surrender. She was still thinking in her heart
That cloaked man, how powerful is that cloaked man?
"The king also personally asked the queen, and now she has confessed to death that she did it. At the end of the day, she can't ask any more questions. In order to explain to the ministers, the emperor planned to depose the queen, and now she has been imprisoned in the cold palace." Ximen Jing
Xuan sat on the chair and leaned on the back of the chair tiredly.
Lin Xiner knew that he really wanted to protect this woman who had replaced his mother-in-law and had nurtured him. But now it seemed that the queen wanted to keep the secret in her belly and would rather be dethroned.
He also refused to say it.
Is it really more important than her position?
"What did Gu Qingcheng say?" Lin Xiner didn't believe that even the youngest high-ranking official in the dynasty would believe the queen's words.
"The Queen's confession, nothing else can compare to her confession, her personal signature, and the most critical physical evidence of the murder weapon. The Emperor did not want to make the matter in the royal family a storm, so with the confession, he ordered Gu Qingcheng
After sorting out the files, this case will be closed." Ximen Jingxuan said.
That person was really extremely thoughtful, thinking out the next step every step he took. The cloak that was thrown at the scene that day became evidence that could prove the queen's lies. But she never thought of the role of the cloak.
Lin Xiner frowned as she thought about it. She was sure that this was done by the cloaked man who had fought with her, but she could not find a breakthrough.
Cuizhu Pavilion.
Ximen Hen, who was also recruited into the palace because of the queen's affairs, came to Ximen Yin after leaving Jinyang Palace.
"Brother Three Emperors, do you also think that it was really the Queen who killed Imperial Physician Chen?" Ximen Hen asked.
It happened so suddenly. He was surprised when he received the emperor's decree to enter the palace outside the palace. Normally, the emperor would not summon him specially. After entering the palace, he realized that something happened to the queen. It was their fault.
It was a big family matter, so the emperor also asked him, the prince, to be present at the trial.
The reason why this matter is so big is that besides the fact that the killing of Imperial Physician Chen was against the third prince, it was also done by the empress herself, and the empress confessed it herself, and signed it in black and white. It is conceivable that an empress admitted the crime she had committed.
What impact will it have? The prince broke the law and was as guilty as the common people. Although the queen confessed, the guilt is inevitable.
Moreover, Ximen Jinglie heard that Jiang Ziyin acted to save her mediocre son and cut off Ximen Yin's road to recovery. Ximen Jinglie, who originally favored Ximen Yin and disliked Ximen Che from the bottom of his heart, was angry.
He was so angry that he immediately decided to abolish it, and issued an edict to send Jiang Ziyin to the cold palace.
"Didn't she confess it herself?" Ximen Yin said, "I didn't expect this either. That's all, I don't want to talk about it anymore."
Ximen Hen watched Ximen Yin take the medicine bowl from the little eunuch's hand, drink it gurglingly, and said leisurely, "After drinking medicine for so many years, do you still feel bitter?"
After drinking the medicine, Ximen Yin took the handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth, "Do you want to try it?"
"Forget it, I don't want to." Ximen Hen waved his hands and smiled heartlessly, "This is God's jealousy of talented people. I still want to live a more carefree life."
"It's good to live a happy life." Ximen Yin sat in front of the piano that he had been playing for many years.
"Isn't it that the Third Emperor's brother is also looking for his own freedom?" Ximen Hen's eyes fell on Ximen Yin's piano. What kind of things can such a pair of hands that play the piano and paint all day long do?
Ximen Yin smiled lightly, slid his fingertips, and plucked the strings.
"Forget it, how can I be so careless? When something happens to the queen, the prince and the emperor's uncle will help. My curiosity is getting too much, so I'd better go to Zuihua Tower to find my beauty." Ximen Hen patted himself.
Forehead, intend to say goodbye.
"My beauty, I indulge in wine and sex all day long."
"My son, please see your father!"
Ximen Jinglie walked into the Cuizhu Pavilion room, glanced at Ximen Yin who was sitting in front of the piano, nodded and said, "Yin'er, sit down quickly."
"Thank you, Father." Ximen Yin sat down again, his body swaying as if he really couldn't stand.
Ximen Jinglie sighed and sat on a chair by the wall in the middle of the room.
Is this son really going to be sick and weak for the rest of his life?
"You come to Cuizhu Pavilion too, why don't you want to learn from Yin'er?" Ximen Jinglie glanced at Ximen Hen, and just one look made him angry.
It is said that because Ximen Hen discovered the affair between Ximen Jingyu and the ghost-faced man, he should be rewarded for meritorious service, but he fooled around outside the palace all day long, and even if he entered the palace, he would still molest the palace maids. He had no knowledge or skills, even if
If you entrust him with important responsibilities, can he bear it? If you don't entrust him with important responsibilities and give him rewards, isn't it helping him to squander? Therefore, Ximen Jinglie did not mention the meritorious service to Ximen Hen.
Ximen Hen was sensible and did not ask for credit.
