Phoenix Hairpin Chapter 619: Rage (1)
“The hairpin head phoenix ()”
The coldness in Emperor Yongjia's words shocked the Queen Mother Zhao.
The Empress Dowager Zhao grabbed Emperor Yongjia's sleeve and hurriedly whispered: "Don't be impulsive, Your Majesty. The matter has not been found out yet, and I don't know who secretly poisoned Achang. You can't treat the Queen's crime just because of suspicion."
Emperor Yongjia had no expression on his face, and his voice seemed to be frozen: "I know what I'm doing."
Queen Zhao: "..."
The Empress Dowager Zhao looked at her son with a cold and stern gaze, and her heart trembled again. When it came to his mouth, he swallowed it unconsciously.
Queen Joe steps in.
Before she opened her mouth to speak, Emperor Yongjia said coldly: "The cause of Li Chang's death has not been found out for a day, and the queen will not be allowed to leave the Jiaofang Palace for a day."
Queen Qiao's heart was turbulent, and her voice was calm: "The fifth prince died of poisoning in the ancestral mansion. The emperor is suspicious of his concubine, and the concubine has nothing to say."
"The Qing people are self-cleaning. The concubines are waiting in the Jiaofang Hall for the day when the truth is revealed."
After speaking, he bowed to the dragon couch, turned around and walked out.
Empress Dowager Zhao didn't breathe a sigh of relief when Emperor Yongjia said again: "Pass on my will, the eldest prince and the fourth prince will return to the prince's mansion. Without my will, I can't leave the house for half a step."
This is what even the first prince and the fourth prince are suspicious of.
Emperor Yongjia ordered the two princesses to return to the palace. Concubine Meng and Concubine Qin immediately returned to the palace, and she could not leave the palace without a summons.
In short, everyone except the Queen Mother was grounded.
Empress Dowager Zhao wanted to speak, but looking at Emperor Yongjia's face, she still didn't say anything.
"Your Majesty, the Duke of Dongping County and Yao Shangshu are both kneeling outside to plead guilty." Eunuch Liu said softly, "I wonder if your Majesty wants to see them?"
Dongping County King!
Yao Shangshu!
A chill flashed in Emperor Yongjia's eyes, and he said slowly, "No."
No, and didn't let them go back.
That's what it means to keep kneeling.
Liu Gonggong understood, and whispered: "Qiao Ge and several Shangshu adults are here. Does the emperor want to call?"
Emperor Yongjia was not in the mood to see anyone.
Only, the princes were grounded. In the future, all the affairs of the government must be entrusted to the cabinet, and it is not appropriate to see one. Emperor Yongjia glanced at Eunuch Liu: "Elder Xuan Qiao."
Eunuch Liu was ordered to withdraw.
After a while, Qiao Ge came in tremblingly.
Working in government affairs all the year round, Qiao Ge has been working hard, and he is still loyal to the country like an old scalper. At this time, he was exhausted and looked extremely old and haggard.
"The minister has seen the emperor." Qiao Ge saluted with his hands, his voice trembling: "His Royal Highness the fifth prince died unexpectedly, and the minister's heart was heartbroken when he heard it. The emperor's loss of his beloved son, the pain of his heart, is definitely better than the tenth of the minister. Hundreds of times. I don't know what words to use to comfort the emperor. I implore the emperor to take care of the dragon's body for the sake of the great Wei Jiangshan community."
After speaking, he knelt down.
Emperor Yongjia closed his dragon eyes.
Yeah, no matter how angry you are, you are still your own son. Even if Li Chang assassinated the prince secretly, Emperor Yongjia would not kill Li Chang, and he would probably be banned for life.
Suddenly hearing that Li Chang died of poisoning is like being dug out of a piece of flesh. The pain in it can only be experienced by a father.
The warm liquid slips from the corner of the eye. Eunuch Liu, who was waiting on the side, felt pity in his heart, and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief for the emperor.
After a long time, Emperor Yongjia opened his dragon eyes again. The redness in his eyes subsided slightly, and his voice was hoarse: "I want to investigate this case thoroughly."
Elder Qiao Ge replied without hesitation: "Someone dares to kill the prince, the crime is unforgivable! We must thoroughly investigate to the end, catch the mastermind behind it, and punish him severely!"
"The minister dared to say that all those suspected of this case, including the empress, should be banned from their homes. The Duke of Dongping County and Yao Shangshu should also be sent to prison for questioning."
As expected of the elder of the Great Wei Shoufuge. When it was time to make a decision, he was very decisive, and he didn't mean to intercede for Queen Qiao at all.
Emperor Yongjia turned his head with difficulty and glanced at Qiao Ge: "I entrust you with the political affairs of the court."
Elder Qiao Ge looked solemn: "I will do my best and die."
The one kneeling beside the bed was his old father-in-law. He worked hard for Wei Jiangshan for more than ten years, and never formed a party to gain power.
Emperor Yongjia didn't lose his head in anger, and gestured to Eunuch Liu with his eyes. Eunuch Liu nodded slightly in response, and stepped forward to help Elder Qiao Ge.
"Elder Ge will go back first. If there is something important, I will report it later." Emperor Yongjia was quite tired.
Elder Qiao Ge took the lead and withdrew.
Several Shangshu adults who were waiting in the side hall immediately gathered around and asked eagerly, "How is the emperor's dragon body? Does it matter?"
"What should I do now?"
Qiao Ge's old eyes swept over the faces of the ministers, and said solemnly: "The emperor has woken up, his thoughts are clear, and he is not confused. We are doing what we should do as usual."
Luo Shangshu hurriedly asked: "What about the death of the Fifth Prince of poisoning?"
"Your Majesty will order the case to be thoroughly investigated." Qiao Ge said with restraint: "This matter~IndoMTL.com~ I can't interfere, and I can't interfere. Everyone, please go back to the official office!"
……
The unfortunate Duke of Dongping knelt for several hours, his knees were swollen, and he could not see the face of Emperor Yongjia. Instead, General Liang arrived.
"The emperor has an order to ask the Duke of Dongping to stay in the dungeon in the palace for a while." General Liang tightened his face and his voice was solemn.
Dongping County King's face is earthy and depressed: "Yes, the minister follows the order."
Emperor Yongjia was lying on the bed and couldn't move. Changed to the previous temper, he would have beaten him first by himself.
He was Zongzheng of the Zongren Mansion. Li Chang was imprisoned in the Zongren Mansion dungeon and died of poisoning in the dungeon. No matter who did it, he couldn't escape the guilt.
General Liang motioned the two guards of the royal forest to come over with his eyes, and took the Duke of Dongping to the dungeon in the palace.
Then, following this procedure, Yao Shangshu was also imprisoned in the palace dungeon. The two were detained separately and never met each other.
Being busy with this matter, General Liang went to the Wenhua Palace to return to his orders.
Emperor Yongjia lay on the dragon couch and said to General Liang: "Liang Zhan, I can't believe anyone anymore."
The exhaustion and sadness revealed in the words made General Liang's nose sour and his eyes suddenly warm: "Your Majesty!"
"Who killed the fifth prince." Emperor Yongjia's voice was slow and low: "Is it the queen, the prince? Or my eldest son, the fourth prince? And Concubine Meng, Concubine Qin."
"They are all suspects."
"Even Hui Jing An, I can't believe it."
"When I think of someone poisoning Achang to death, my whole body is cold, and I can't feel at ease when I close my eyes. The only person I can trust now is you."
General Liang burst into tears, and with a plop he knelt beside the dragon couch: "Your Majesty, this minister will guard the Emperor's side from now on, and let no one disturb the Emperor's rest."
