Chapter 278: If you don’t plead guilty, make another claim
These people testified one after another and pointed the finger directly at Concubine Fu.
And many people in the hall already believe that this is the truth.
Princess Maoling gritted her teeth and said: "There are all the witnesses and physical evidence, Concubine Fu, do you still want to continue to deny it?!"
Yao Tai also stepped forward and knelt down, and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, Concubine Fu keeps saying that there is someone else behind this matter, so she can tell you who it is?
These masters in the harem, the Queen and the Empress cannot cause trouble for themselves. Even a fool can see this, so there is no need to explain it again.
It is impossible for Concubine Xian to do this. Wanyi is her daughter-in-law, and she is carrying her grandson. Besides, both the Queen and our Yao family are both beneficial and useful to her and the Sixth Prince.
.How could she ruin the queen's good deeds?
Concubine Li had no son, so she could not commit such painstaking efforts.
Only Concubine Fu has both a son and a grandson. If you say she has no ambition, I won't believe it.
And having said that, the emperor’s eldest grandson cried so much in response to the situation, it really makes people suspicious!"
Yao Tai naturally came prepared. He made such a heartfelt speech, and many ministers immediately agreed with him.
"Concubine Fu is very scheming. Your Majesty must not be deceived."
"The evidence is conclusive, and his intentions are worthy of death!"
"The human heart is not as strong as a snake swallowing an elephant. If you go to Long to look at Shu, there will be disaster!"
"Your Majesty! There is one more thing that can prove that Concubine Fu and others have sinister intentions!" Princess Maoling's voice rose above the crowd, "Now it has been spread both inside and outside the palace that the emperor's grandson has an extraordinary background and will succeed to the throne in the future.
Disobedience!
This clearly shows that they had already planned to set up a poisonous plot at the Queen's birthday banquet to highlight the difference between the emperor and grandson, and then made such remarks to confuse people's minds.
This is clearly a game in which the emperor, queen, and civil and military officials are all being manipulated. What a huge game of chess!"
"Concubine Fu, now that the matter has come to this, what do you want to say? Do you want Wei Zhong to go to court to confront Ge Qing?" the emperor asked behind the screen.
"Your Majesty, the Queen, ladies and gentlemen, I dare not say that I don't have such thoughts, because thoughts are something that others cannot see clearly, and what I say may not be true.
So I stopped arguing and said that I had no intention of disobeying the Queen or deceiving Your Majesty.
I just want to say that I am not that stupid yet." Concubine Fu's tone was still methodical, which was incompatible with the tense situation in the court. "If it is really me who did this, then I am not doing it for anything else, just because I am good enough.
Stupid, deserve to die.
When I conspired to let Ge Qing do something, I was already taking a desperate risk.
Then he arranges for his grandson to cry and cry to make him appear to be gifted.
Then they spread rumors that he was the reincarnation of a god.
In addition to pushing us to the forefront and becoming the handlers, is there any other benefit to doing this?
Who doesn't know that the Queen is the lord of the Sixth Palace, and her biological son is the prince of the dynasty.
Who doesn't know that my uncle is the prime minister of the current dynasty, and his disciples and former officials are all over the world?
It is said that the former dynasty and the harem are like a game of chess, are we even remotely capable of competing with them?
For so many years, we, mother and son, have been very cautious and did not dare to exceed the rules in the slightest. Even if others don't know, His Majesty will definitely understand.
Ever since we had the emperor's eldest grandson, our life has become less peaceful. Unexpected disasters happen every day, and there are always people looking for trouble for us.
It is true that he is the eldest grandson of the emperor, but he is only a little older child. What can he become?
Is it because we have evil intentions and are ready to take action? Or is there someone who is deliberately causing trouble and fanning the flames?
Besides, how could it be such a coincidence that these people who came to testify were there? There were people testifying at every step.
It's not impossible to have Wei Zhong go to court to confront him, but he clearly didn't do anything and has been splashed with dirty water. How can he prove himself?"
"Ms. Fu Fei, what you say is so powerful!" Princess Maoling sneered, "Are you thinking of getting rid of the relationship without spending a single soldier?
There are so many witnesses, but you say they are not trustworthy and refuse to correct themselves. If this is the case, even if the trial lasts for a hundred years, nothing will come out?!"
"Your Majesty, I just don't want to do useless work." Concubine Fu said, "But it's not impossible to figure things out."
"Oh? You said you have a way?" The emperor didn't believe it when Concubine Fu said this. "Then tell me what the way is?"
"No matter how many witnesses there are, the most important thing about this matter is Ge Qing." Concubine Fu had already been interviewed by Xue Heng for advice. "Besides his parents, Ge Qing has no other relatives.
If His Majesty can make a decree, no matter what the truth is, his parents will not be involved.
And he must always ensure that his parents are safe and will never be harmed.
In this way, Ge Qing no longer has any worries, so he will definitely be willing to tell the truth.
No matter what, his guilt cannot be exempted, and people will choose to tell the truth when there is no conflict of interest."
"This..." Everyone really didn't expect that Concubine Fu would make such a suggestion. Even Shang Qiyan was dumbfounded.
"This method is not impossible..." The emperor thought for a while and said, "Ge Qing, if it is true what Concubine Fu said, are you willing to tell the truth?"
"Your Majesty, no! Concubine Fu is using a conspiracy! She actually used this condition in exchange with Ge Qing to let him keep her. If Your Majesty agrees, you will have fallen into her trap." Yao Tai hurriedly stopped her.
"Then bring Ge Qing's parents to the court. If Ge Qing tells the truth, his parents will not be killed. If he still deceives, then his parents will be killed on the spot.
The left and right cannot be false, and the false cannot be true. The same goes for several other witnesses, who brought their relatives to the court just to get them to tell the truth.
Anyway, someone in the court today must have committed the crime of deceiving the emperor. It was either them or us.
I, Zhuo Rulan, would like to swear on the head on my neck that neither I, nor my son, daughter-in-law, nor anyone in my palace will be involved in what I am talking about today."
"Then go and bring all the families of these people, including Wei Zhong's." The emperor also wanted to know the truth as soon as possible and didn't want to waste time.
The dragon chair in the Jinluan Hall is actually very uncomfortable and hard, and you can't even lean on it.
Shang Qiyan did not dare to neglect the emperor's order, so he immediately ordered people to go out of the palace and bring everyone who should be brought.
The Queen looked at Liang Jing from behind the screen and whispered: "How could this happen? Didn't I say that all the witnesses and physical evidence were in place?"
"But Concubine Fu refuses to admit it." Liang Jing was helpless, "In addition, she really doesn't have any bad deeds, and she has been framed many times.
The emperor still trusts her from the bottom of his heart, so he is willing to adopt her suggestions."
Concubine Fu has always been cautious, loyal and gentle, which the emperor recognized.
Don’t ignore the impression that your words and deeds in daily life bring to others. Critical moments can influence people’s judgments.
