378 Bringing honor to the ancestors (2)

After all, the head of internal affairs was very busy and could not always be by the emperor’s side.

After bidding farewell to noble Consort Chen, the old eunuch entered the southern chamber under the guidance of a Palace maid. He saw the pale-faced lang ‘er lying on the bed.

“Have you asked an Imperial physician to take a look?”

“Father-in-law, I’ve seen it. The imperial physician said it’s a brain problem and there’s no cure.”

The old eunuch stared at lang ‘er for a long time before he ordered, “”Just leave him to us.”

He ordered the guards to take away lang ‘er’s body and hurried back to report.

When he returned to Emperor yuanjing’s bedroom, the old Emperor was still sitting behind the big table laid with bright yellow silk, looking in the direction of the gate expressionlessly.

He didn’t have any reaction when he saw the old eunuch step over the threshold and enter the house.

“Your Majesty, lang. er is dead ...” The old eunuch said in a low voice.

After a long, long time, Emperor Yuan jing replied with an ” mm. this Emperor, who was at the top of power and looked down on half of the sixty-year cycle, was neither happy nor sad.

...........

The next day, Emperor Yuan jing held another court meeting. The civil and military officials entered the meridian Gate in an orderly manner under the hazy sky. Some of them stopped at the square outside the throne room, while some stood on the White jade steps outside the throne room.

Only a very small portion of them entered the hall. These people, in the mouth of the storyteller, were collectively called:In the Imperial court, he looked down at the officials.

After the officials entered the hall, Emperor Yuan jing came out a quarter of an hour later and sat on his Dragon Throne.

After the official and ruler had their normal meeting, the Minister of Justice stepped out and said in a clear voice, “”Your Majesty, the three law divisions have completed the verification. The Empress is indeed the mastermind of Consort Fu’s case.

“The Shangguan family is unworthy of the title. They conspired to murder the Empress and frame the Crown Prince. Please punish them severely, Your Majesty.”

The official of the court of judicial review immediately went forward to agree.

In the hall, the officials and generals, as well as some of the nobles, all voiced their opinions.

This meant that they had already discussed and agreed yesterday that the defeatment of the Empress was not the same as the defeatment of the Crown Prince. It was a matter of national importance. Depose of the Empress was only the emperor’s family matter. As long as there was reason and evidence to prove that the Empress was indeed immoral and not that the Emperor liked the new and disliked the old, then the officials had no reason and no need to stop her.

The only problem after being crippled was the identity of the fourth prince. One must know that the fourth prince was Emperor Yuan jing’s only legitimate son, so many people placed their bets on him.

Those who didn’t have any objections were the fourth Prince’s side.

Without waiting for Emperor yuanjing to respond, Wei Yuan stepped out and the hall immediately quieted down.

Your Majesty, there’s a hidden story behind Consort Fu’s case. The Empress isn’t the mastermind. The real mastermind is Huang xiaorou. She killed Consort Fu and deceived the Crown Prince to come to Qingfeng Palace to forge this case.

As soon as Wei Yuan finished, the professional troll retorted, ”

“Nonsense, how could a mere Palace maid commit such a shocking crime? Besides, why would Huang xiaorou frame the Crown Prince? Wei Yuan, what do you take His Majesty for? what do you take the court officials for?”

After that, he added,”Your Majesty, please kill this demon.”

The rest of the officials chided Wei Yuan, and the hall fell into chaos.

The old eunuch held the whip in his hand and whipped it with all his might. The ground cracked with a crisp sound. He scolded, “”Silence!”

The hall finally quieted down.

The Minister of Justice and the chief of the Supreme Court sneered at Wei Yuan. The other officials also looked at Wei Yuan, some sneering, some mocking, some confused, and some helpless. The latter was from the fourth Prince’s side.

Wei Yuan ignored the gazes and curses of the people around him and said, ” yesterday, Xu Qi ‘an, the person in charge of Consort Fu’s case, found out that Huang xiaorou was pregnant ...

Before he could finish his words, the hall burst into an uproar again.

The palace maid Huang xiaorou was pregnant?

In the palace, other than the guards, the only person who could really make a woman pregnant was Emperor Yuan jing. Of course, it was impossible for him to be a guard. Those who could guard the harem were all loyal to the royal family and the elites selected from thousands.

Moreover, they were often in groups of a few people, monitoring each other, and there was no possibility of having an affair with the palace maids.

There was only one possibility ...

For a moment, the way the court officials looked at Emperor Yuan jing couldn’t help but be meaningful.

Emperor yuanjing’s stern face twitched slightly. He looked coldly at Wei Yuan, who had deliberately stopped talking, and said in a deep voice, ”

“Wei Yuan, continue!”

“After investigation. we found out that the person who caused Huang xiaorou to lose her child was the current uncle. Shangguan Ming ...” Wei Yuan said slowly.

Following that, Wei Yuan told the court officials a story that he had polished.

The palace maid, Huang xiaorou, was humiliated by the Imperial brother-in-law and was unfortunately pregnant. She had a miscarriage after that, so she harbored a grudge and endured it for many years. Finally, she brewed up a conspiracy.

Taking advantage of the convenience of Consort Fu’s personal maid, she quietly destroyed the guardrails of the Watchtower. Taking advantage of Consort Fu’s drunkenness, she deceived the Crown Prince to come to Qingfeng Palace Hall and laid out the most shocking trap in Jianghuai in more than ten years.

After the state uncle heard about Consort Fu’s case, he found out that Huang xiaorou was involved. He was afraid that his beastly actions would be exposed, so he came to Feng Qi Palace to beg.

Only then did the Empress know that her Imperial uncle had done such a heartless thing. Thinking of her blood and flesh, she tearfully bore the crime for her Imperial uncle.

In the end, Wei Yuan concluded the case, “”That’s what happened. Imperial uncle has already confessed. His Majesty can interrogate him at any time.

“Ridiculous.” The official of the Supreme Court snorted and bowed. Your Majesty, from what I know, Huang xiaorou was killed. If everything was planned by her, what about the murderer? ”

The ministers all agreed.

Huang xiaorou has an accomplice, ” Wei Yuan explained. they helped her set up the trap to frame the Crown Prince and the Empress.

Upon hearing this, many of the officials ‘hearts moved, and they began to make associations.

If the Imperial uncle had not defiled Huang xiaorou, anyone would have thought that the Empress had only pleaded guilty because there was concrete evidence.
