Chapter 513
Zhou Ruiyuan and the Seventh Prince entered the palace and went straight to the emperor's palace.
The emperor summoned them personally, and waited for them all to find the person who murdered Concubine Li.
However, when he saw them bring Mama He and Liu Xiangxiang in, he was horrified in his heart, and slowly stood up, "Old Seven
, these two people?" The Seventh Prince bent down and said, "Father, do you still know these two?"
The emperor looked at the two of them carefully, and felt a little familiar when he saw them, but it was not difficult to guess who they were.
He had seen them all in Concubine Wu's palace in the past, but he didn't expect them to be all alive.
"What are you doing here? Didn't you ask you to investigate Concubine Li's miscarriage? Why did you bring these two people?"
The Seventh Prince continued: "Father, you have forgotten that in addition to investigating Concubine Li's miscarriage here, there is also the incident of Concubine Wu's miscarriage back then. The
emperor's face gradually turned pale, he thought that the people related to the year had been killed, but he didn't expect to be found by the Seventh Prince to find two grandmothers.
Although he was unhappy, he had to let him continue.
"Father, these two are the witnesses of Wu Guifei when she had a miscarriage.
The emperor said with a cold face: "After so many years, how can I determine that what they said is the truth?"
The Seventh Prince stood up slightly and said, "Father, in addition to human evidence, we also have physical evidence here. "
Physical evidence, what physical evidence?" said the emperor, surprised.
The Seventh Prince took out a booklet and handed it to him and said: "This is the illness of Wu Guifei when she had a miscarriage at that time, and it is recorded in great detail. The
emperor looked at it in his hand, his brow furrowed.
The Seventh Prince looked at Mama He on the side and said, "Mama, come and tell the emperor, what happened at that time?" Mama He
has aged a lot in recent years, trembling forward, kneeling down to the emperor and making a big salute, and then raised her head and said: " When Wu Guifei was not in good health, she found out that she was pregnant not long after she suddenly had a miscarriage in the middle of the night, I personally diagnosed her pulse, and helped her stop the bleeding, and a few days later, she received the incense sent by the queen mother, and she had an idea, slandering the queen mother for poisoning in Xiangli, making a false miscarriage, and using it to frame the queen mother. The
emperor's face became more and more heavy as he listened, and he remained silent.
The Seventh Prince stood up and said, "Your Majesty, judging from the human and physical evidence, the Queen Mother was not the one who murdered Wu Guifei's miscarriage, she was wronged. A
trace of anger flickered in the emperor's eyes, he didn't want to admit his mistake, "This witness and physical evidence alone are not enough to prove the empress's innocence." After
he said that, he was a little impatient, and said sharply to the Seventh Prince: "This time the main thing is to investigate Concubine Li, if you can't find out today, you will be beheaded." The
Seventh Prince was calm and calm, and turned around to let Liu Xiangxiang step forward to speak.
Before the emperor refused, Liu Xiangxiang had already told the story of how Concubine Duan poisoned Concubine Wu Guifei's miscarriage, "Your Majesty, Concubine Wu always thought that it was because of her poor health that she had a miscarriage, but in fact it was not, it was Concubine Duan who had been poisoning her. The
emperor's face gradually improved, and now that Concubine Duan is dead, even if she is brought up, it will be fine.
He cleared his throat and instructed the Seventh Prince: "I have my own considerations about the queen, you now find out the murderer of Concubine Li's mother first." Seeing
that he had been mentioning Concubine Li, the Seventh Prince said bluntly: "Your Majesty, Concubine Li's miscarriage was purely accidental, and no one murdered her." The
emperor was slightly stunned, and said sharply: "Impossible, how can there be such a coincidence in the world, why did she fall into the water for no reason."
At this time, Zhou Ruiyuan slowly stepped forward, saluted and said, "If the emperor doesn't believe it, you can send Concubine Li to question."
After the emperor pondered for a moment, the eunuch who passed through the door called: "Come on, spread that Concubine Li Niangniang is coming to the front hall." "
Yes, Your Majesty. The
eunuch slowly retreated, and it didn't take long for Concubine Li to be taken to the main hall.
The emperor felt sorry for her and hurriedly gave her a seat.
"Concubine Li has worked hard for you. The Emperor took her hand and reassured her.
Concubine Li's face was pale, her lips were bloodless, and she saluted him weakly, "Your Majesty..."
the emperor hurriedly helped her to sit down, "Your body hasn't recovered yet, so you don't need to be polite."
Zhou Ruiyuan walked slowly and saluted Concubine Li, "Since Concubine Li is here, just tell the emperor what happened when he fell into the water."
The emperor held Concubine Li's hand and said, "Lord Zhou said that you accidentally fell into the water, and no one harmed you, is it true?" Concubine Li
was silent for a moment, and then slowly replied: "Lord Zhou is right, the concubine did accidentally fall into the water herself." The
emperor was a little unconvinced, "You have always been in good health, why do you fall into the water when you are good?"
