Chapter 185 Deliberately Wanting to Do Him a Favor
Except for her neck, all the queen's limbs were fixed to the rack.
No matter how she changed her posture to make a wish to the God of Time Travel, the most that made the difference was whether she tilted her head to the left or the right.
She really wanted to raise her finger to the sky and call upon the gods, but reality did not allow it.
Emperor Yongping was kind enough to simply have the Dragon Guards tie her to the rack instead of putting iron nails on her.
So her movements were a bit bigger, but her arms and legs weren't covered in blood.
"Master, it seems that the Queen really has no memory."
Little Gourd was in the study room watching the empress's troubles.
From the tone and behavior, it can be confirmed that this queen is no longer the same.
Chu Qinshu listened to Xiao Hulu's feedback without saying anything.
It doesn't matter whether she has the original memory or not, as long as she is still the queen, she can't escape.
Moreover, memory is something that you may remember again after experiencing more things.
"Okay, okay, Your Majesty will listen to Shu'er."
Emperor Yongping thought Chu Qinshu's words made sense, so he summoned Long Wei to give him some instructions before he felt relieved.
No one has ever escaped from the secret cell in this palace.
But it's always better to be cautious.
"Father, I have investigated the events of the Marquis of Loyalty Mansion..."
Chu Chengyi had not known that Empress Xiao had been imprisoned by Emperor Yongping.
Therefore, he never showed in front of Emperor Yongping that he knew about this.
Emperor Yongping did not avoid him today, which meant he no longer concealed his intentions.
Then he could tell the truth about the Marquis of Loyalty's Mansion.
"Well, I know that the incident at the Marquis of Xiaozhongyi's Mansion was done by the Empress and the Duke of Xuan's Mansion. Have you found any evidence?"
When talking about the unjust cases he handled, Emperor Yongping did not shy away from talking about them at all.
Asking Chu Chengyi to overturn the verdict on behalf of the Marquis of Loyalty was also a deliberate favor he wanted to do him.
After all, the Prince of the Marquis of Loyalty and Chu Chengyi had been playmates since childhood, and their relationship was closer than that of brothers.
At that time, he also knew that Chu Chengyi was working for the Loyalty Marquis Mansion.
However, he was deceived by the empress at that time and completely lost his correct judgment, which led to the loyal and good being framed.
Fortunately, he did not kill them all because of the loyalty and righteousness of Hou Shi, who was guarding the border in place of Sheng Anguo.
Otherwise, even if he regrets his decision now, it will be of no use.
"I have found evidence and will submit it to the Dali Temple for a retrial of the case in a few days."
Chu Chengyi really wanted to say that he had collected most of the evidence five years ago.
Moreover, he had used it to redress the injustice done to Marquis Zhongyi.
But Emperor Yongping not only refused to acknowledge him, but also put him under house arrest and even considered deposing him.
In fact, his situation was not good five years ago.
Chu Yanjing was suffering from a "stubborn illness". A few months after Empress Yuan passed away, Chu Yansui was sent to Xiangguo Temple...
How can he help his brothers when he can't even protect himself?
Therefore, he could only watch helplessly as Marquis Zhongyi and his family embarked on the journey of exile to Youzhou.
When he was released from house arrest and came out to make arrangements, he learned that the son of the Marquis of Loyalty, his good friend since childhood, had his little son stolen away on the way to exile.
During these years, he had to take care of his own shaky East Palace, ask someone to look after the family of Marquis Zhongyi in Youzhou, and travel all over the world to help his brother find his son.
Who else can understand the hardships involved except himself?
"Well, it's arranged. You can raise it in front of the court officials, and I will hand it over to the Dali Temple for re-examination."
Since Emperor Yongping took the initiative to propose overturning the case of Marquis Zhongyi, he naturally wanted to do a good job.
Neither the process nor the rules can be disrupted.
As for overturning the verdict of that year, is it because he can't face it?
Well, he doesn't have to worry about that.
Loyal ministers and good generals are hard to come by, and he is not a tyrant who sticks to one principle.
Having the courage to admit one's mistakes and redress the injustice done to those who have been wronged is also the kind of mind that a wise leader should have.
"Yes, I will make arrangements in the next few days."
Chu Chengyi bowed to Emperor Yongping, expressing his sincere gratitude to him for still caring about Marquis Zhongyi.
No matter which emperor you choose, he will not take the initiative to think of restoring order.
“Ahh.”
[Your Majesty, the family of the Marquis of Loyalty is fine, it's just that life in Youzhou is a little difficult, but they have never blamed you.]
Seeing that Emperor Yongping seemed a little sad, Chu Qinshu hurriedly spoke out to comfort him.
It was all the Queen's fault. She wanted to snatch her brother-in-law, the Prince of Loyalty and Righteousness, as her husband, so she fell into the water on purpose.
The prince of the loyal and righteous marquis just didn't fall into her trap and jump into the water to save her, but she held a grudge against him.
And her emperor grandfather was just a tool for the queen to take revenge.
He was also deceived. The incident at the Wenwen Marquis' Mansion could not be blamed entirely on him.
"Yes, Your Majesty knows. You don't have to worry."
Emperor Yongping patted the swaddling clothes and coaxed Chu Qinshu.
With Chu Qinshu's comfort, Emperor Yongping felt much more relieved.
Ma Fu
It was lunchtime, so Matthew was waiting for news from Yuzhou in his study.
Ever since he learned that Zhao Tian had failed, he had been feeling very uneasy.
From Yuzhou, a letter was sent back to the capital two days ago.
There has been no news for the past two days. I don’t know what the situation is over there.
"Master, maybe no news is good news."
Seeing that Matthew Li was worried, his confidants could only offer words of comfort.
"No news. It's possible that something went wrong and there's no way to get the news out there."
What Matthew was most worried about was the lack of news from Yuzhou.
Although he had made arrangements in advance when Zhou Hongjing went to Yuzhou.
But he was certain that Zhou Hongjing could not find out anything, so he just erased the traces on the surface.
Although he didn't understand Jiang Baiqing, he knew that a good father would have a good son.
Now, Jiang Baiqing alone is enough of a headache for him, and now there is now the Ministry of Justice.
All in all, all his troubles were caused by that old bastard Zhou Hongjing.
Humph, he can't even be a Jingzhao Yin, and he can't even keep a commoner like Zhao under his control. With what right does Zhou Hongjing live in this world?
"Someone come."
Matthew Li was really anxious. He couldn't show up in Yuzhou.
But he can still kill his enemies in the capital first.
"master."
The secret guard was dressed in black, even the turban and mask were on.
"Arrange a few people to go to Jingzhao Yin's house tonight..."
Matthew Li made some arrangements for the secret guard, and when the secret guard flew away, the depression in his heart finally dissipated a little.
At this time, Zhou Hongjing, who was still lying in bed recuperating, suddenly felt a chill on his back and woke up with a start.
"Master, are you awake?"
The butler was by Zhou Hongjing's side all the time, waiting in his bedroom.
Seeing that he woke up, he hurried forward to ask.
I wanted to see whether he wanted to go to the toilet or drink water. In any case, I couldn't let my old man suffer anymore.
"Old Zhou, someone wants to kill me."
Zhou Hongjing looked at the housekeeper and said nervously.
