Chapter 478 Intuition
"Tsk, there are really hidden dragons and crouching tigers."
"You go and try him first." Qi Yixiu waved his hand.
Shijian Luo left without asking the emperor what he meant.
Qi Yixiu leaned back and said, "Chu Si, what do you think I should do?"
Chu Si lowered his head: "How can a servant know the masters' affairs..."
"When you pull out a radish, you bring out the dirt." How could he not know that Concubine Kangde was not clean?
It’s just that the harem needs a Concubine Kangde.
If the first trial is thoroughly investigated, he will surely fall. His guilt towards Concubine Kangde and her son was a thing of the past. No matter how much guilt he felt, Concubine Kangde's actions over the years had already wiped it all out.
But how many dirty things could there be to bring down Concubine Kangde?
So Qi Yixiu hesitated, perhaps it was not the right time yet.
But sometimes, even the emperor cannot control the direction of things.
The Internal Criminal Division had no difficulty in trying Wu Qicai. In just half a day, they produced a thick stack of confessions.
Every detail in it is so fascinating that one dare not look at it any further.
The next morning, the emperor received these things as soon as he came home from court.
After Qi Yixiu finished reading it, he calmly threw the things on the table and said, "Take it to the Queen. In this case, we should follow the rules and arrest all the people in Leshou Palace and conduct a thorough trial."
I was shocked on the fourth day of the fourth month. Is this going to be a reckoning?
However, this pile of evidence cannot be dismissed without a trial.
"Go and tell the princes and princesses to play for three more days." Qi Yixiu said.
On the fourth day of the New Year, I agreed and thought that it would be better if the princes and princesses were not around.
In Fengzao Palace, before everyone had left to pay their respects, Chusi arrived in person.
He handed the evidence to the person sitting beside the Queen and politely left.
The queen threw the things all over the floor as she looked at them: "Ridiculous! Outrageous!"
Everyone looked at the papers but didn't dare to speak.
After a while, the Queen said, "Pack them all up and let them see."
Emei agreed, and together with a little palace maid, she packed up the things and distributed them to everyone.
"What? I almost had a miscarriage because... it was Concubine Kangde who did it? She was still a beauty at that time!" Miao Meiren looked at the thing in her hand in shock.
"I have another one. Are you saying that it is to frame Concubine Qian Shu? You are being suspected because Concubine Qian Shu sent you something." Concubine Rong shook her head.
"Did Concubine Kangde also kill Zhu Li? In order to frame Concubine Yi?" Concubine Li looked at the thing in her hand in shock: "Oh my God, she really has connections. Wasn't Zhu Li imprisoned at that time? Imprisoned in the Internal Criminal Department?"
"Oh, I remember, it was the one who was bitten to death by a poisonous snake? Because of this, a maidservant serving Concubine Yi was punished to wash clothes, and later I heard that she died of illness?" Concubine Jin said.
"Yes, but she had some reasons for harming Concubine Miao and framing it to Concubine Qian Shu. Why would she harm Concubine Yi? Concubine Yi, although... she didn't do anything bad." Concubine Jin was shocked.
Concubine Jin was actually the most shocked. She herself had been threatened by Concubine Kangde, but now that the incident involving Concubine Kangde had broken out, she felt relieved, yet a little afraid that she would be implicated.
"What nonsense are you talking about! What do you mean you have a reason for putting the blame on me?" Concubine Qian Shu glared.
"Oh, and more, it is said that Concubine Kangde borrowed Concubine Qianshu to poison Concubine Jing and almost killed Concubine Jing's child. Oh, it almost killed the Sixth Prince. It's so cruel!" Concubine Rong said in shock.
"When Zhen Xiaoyi's residence caught fire, it was Concubine Kangde who wanted to frame Concubine Jing, but the eunuch didn't dare to do so and changed sides at the last minute, so the matter was left unresolved." Concubine Li shook her head: "Sister Jingfei, when did you become enemies with Concubine Kangde?"
Shen Chuliu smiled and said, "I guess it was because when I was in trouble, Concubine Kangde sent Wen Chongrong, who was still Wen Xiaoyi, to ask me to take sides, and I refused? But for this, I don't know what to say to frame him for murder and arson."
"Every single thing is simply horrifying..." Ning Zhaorong said.
Indeed, no matter how much you do behind the scenes, once it is revealed in the open, it is unacceptable.
What's more, Concubine Kangde was extremely cruel.
"Empress, you cannot let such a vicious woman off easily! I never thought she would harm so many people! If we let her do what she wants, I don't know how many people will be harmed!" said Concubine Qian Shu.
Shen Chuliu also said, "Empress, please give me justice. I was pregnant and almost lost the prince. I couldn't figure it out for several years. Now I know it was her. I just know she is crazy! If Concubine Kangde is not punished, I will not accept it."
Everyone asked the Queen to punish them severely.
The Queen waved her hand and said, "Don't worry, as long as it is proven to be true, I will personally give her a pot of poisoned wine."
The Queen stood up and said, "Let's go. Don't ask around when you go back. I will keep my word."
Everyone thanked him and left Fengzao Palace.
Everyone looked similar, shocked.
I never expected that Concubine Kangde, who always appeared gentle, was such a vicious woman.
It’s true that you can’t judge a book by its cover.
Concubine Rong followed Shen Chuliu to Yufu Palace.
"In theory, Concubine Kangde schemed against Concubine Feng Shu because of the eldest prince. That's why she involved so many people. To put it bluntly, it was all for revenge."
"Revenge is revenge, but if it involves others, it means you have other thoughts." Shen Chuliu sneered: "The emperor had good intentions when he asked her to support the third prince, but it's a pity that he actually made her ambitious."
"Your Majesty, how do you think this will end?" Concubine Rong was a little unsure.
"What else can we do now? All those around her have been sent to the Internal Punishment Department. We just have to see whether she commits suicide or is sentenced to death." Shen Chuliu said.
"Has it come to this?" Concubine Rong was shocked.
“What else? Why not ask the princes to come back in a hurry?” Shen Chuliu shook his head.
After Concubine Kangde went up, Shen Chuliu thought that Concubine Qianshu would fall first, but unexpectedly, Concubine Qianshu did not move at all, while Concubine Kangde was about to fall.
After sending Rong Jieyu away, Yao Baolin said, "I think someone is plotting behind the scenes. Wu Qicai followed me into the palace from the mansion. He has always been loyal, so how could he suddenly say something wrong?"
Shen Chuliu shook her head: "Don't forget, Zhen Xiaoyi's matter has not been concluded yet."
Yao Baolin frowned: "Your Majesty is right. Concubine Kangde has failed with such scheming. We must be careful not to let her scheme against us."
"However, with Concubine Kangde's incident, Concubine Qianshu and her son are really in a high position. The Second Prince is also old enough, and there may be people who will talk about establishing a crown prince again."
"Don't you think..." Shen Chuliu bit her lip: "Empress Dowager Feng died too peacefully?"
Yao Baolin was obviously stunned, and after a while he trembled his lips and said: "Madam, what you mean is..."
"I don't know. I just suddenly thought of it. No reason, no evidence." Just... intuition.
Awooooooooo (End of this chapter)
