Chapter 390 He Yuan: I Want to Report
Emperor Wen picked up the doll, took a look at it, and threw it to the ground. Wen Ziduan picked it up and looked at it from side to side. After a while, he reluctantly guessed, "Is this made of my father?"
He Zhaojun turned her head and said, "He doesn't look alike. My father has more hair than him. He looks more like Censor Xun." As she spoke, she pointed to a newly appointed imperial envoy who was shouting the loudest at the side.
The rate at which censors died in the line of duty was far too rapid. Although the previous censors had all fallen, new censors continued to fill the positions and became the mouthpieces of the ministers behind them.
He Zhaojun picked up the doll of the woman and said with even more disdain, "How does it look like my mother at all? If she saw me, she would probably kick the person behind me to vent her anger."
Wen Ziduan bowed to Emperor Wen and said, "Father, this doll was not made by Zhaojun. Besides, I was not present during the search. It's possible that someone placed it there during the search to deliberately frame her."
Li Lin, who was standing by, also took the puppet in his hand and took a look at it. He felt that the person who did this knew a little bit about the witchcraft of the southwest region, and did it in a very decent manner. At least on the surface, there didn't seem to be any problem.
"Why do you think so? Third Prince, why don't you elaborate on why this thing couldn't have been made by He Zhaojun?" Li Lin asked deliberately. He was promoted by Wen Ziduan. The fact that he could stand here today meant that Emperor Wen must have formed a united front with his son. How could someone as smart and clever as Li Lin not understand?
Wen Ziduan held the doll high. "Please look, everyone! Written on the front of this doll are my mother's birth date and eight characters, while on the back are He Zhaojun's birth date and eight characters. Based on my understanding of the local southwest, this is a method of transferring the fortune of one person to another."
"If you truly believe in this method, you need to obtain accurate horoscopes. As He Zhaojun is the new bride of the royal family, she knows my mother's birthday best. My father and I also know that the birthday announced to the public is not my mother's, so this is definitely not Zhaojun's doing."
Wen Ziduan saw at a glance that because Concubine Yue disliked the fact that her birthday fell on the same day as a local festival, she would receive one less gift, so she moved her birthday three days earlier when she was very young. This matter was not to be told to outsiders, and only the closest people knew about it. The person who set up the plan obviously did not think of this.
"That makes sense. What's more, as far as I know, the Third Prince's wife's craftsmanship skills are astounding. So when they got married, it was the Third Prince who embroidered the fan for her. Is that true?" Li Lin looked at the fine stitches on the doll and knew that it was definitely not made by He Zhaojun.
Censor Xun, however, hit the nail on the head: "He Zhaojun has already lost her memory. In her mind, Concubine Yue's birthday is the date written on the doll. What's wrong with that? Moreover, even if the doll was not made by He Zhaojun herself, she cannot escape blame for finding it in her bedroom!"
As everyone was arguing, Cao Cheng suddenly heard his reply: "He Yuan, the youngest son of the He family, and He Zhong, the steward of the He family, request an audience. They have important matters to report to Your Majesty."
He Zhaojun originally wanted to stop them directly. After all, they hadn't had time to send the message yet, and she didn't know what He Yuan and He Zhong were doing here. "Father, He Yuan is young and ignorant. It's better not to let him in to cause trouble..."
Who would have thought that the little fat man was supported by He Zhong and stepped over the threshold to the Dezheng Hall. He saluted with dignity and bowed to everyone in the hall: "Your Majesty, I want to report that I have seen these things in other people's houses!"
