Chapter 223 Cutting off Queen Jiang's most powerful arm
Chapter 223 Cutting off Queen Jiang's most powerful arm
outside room.
With the treatment of the imperial physician, Gao Yunhuai has woken up and is kneeling on the ground, tied up.
Mengpin said that after she fell into the lotus pond, someone grabbed her feet from below. Gao Yunhuai's clothes were all wet, and he was caught by the pond, so it was obviously him who did it!
In order to catch the assassin, the guards searched the Yonghe Palace from top to bottom, and the "evidence" that Gao Yunhuai secretly hid there was also found out.
Nangong Xuanyu originally felt that Mengpin had only been in power for a short time, and even if she wanted to harm Shen Zhinian, she would not be able to control Liu Xu. Now that he saw these solid "evidences" and combined them with these things, what else did he not understand?
The emperor looked at Gao Yunhuai with icy eyes, as if he was looking at a corpse. He laughed in anger: "Good! Good! Good! I didn't know that the queen who was recuperating in Kunning Palace had so many vicious thoughts!"
"Today you want to drown the pregnant Mengpin in the lotus pond! In the past, the Queen went behind my back and ordered you, a dog slave, to do so many evil things?!"
Shen Zhinian stood aside, thinking about the things that Queen Jiang did in her previous life, which were only exposed before she died. Until her death, Gao Yunhuai did not suffer any harm.
In this life, it actually happened half a year earlier.
It seems that entering the palace in place of Shen Nanqiao has changed many things.
However... Concubines in high positions are usually well-informed. Such a big thing happened in Yonghe Palace, but none of them came?
This can only mean that the emperor blocked the news! Nangong Xuanyu... didn't want this matter to become a big deal.
Shen Zhinian had spent so much effort to get Gao Yunhuai caught, just to deal a fatal blow to Queen Jiang! How could Queen Jiang not be able to end the situation if she didn't make the matter worse?
For a moment, an idea came to her mind, and she wanted to send someone out secretly to deliver the message.
Led by Concubine Liu, the concubines who regarded Queen Jiang as their mortal enemy would never miss this golden opportunity! They would rush to bite Queen Jiang like wolves seeing blood!
But as soon as this thought came up, it was rejected by Shen Zhinian.
Although she has some power in the harem now, she cannot challenge the emperor's authority. If the matter really gets out of hand, Nangong Xuanyu will definitely find out about her!
By then, the image she has worked so hard to build would be ruined, and she would also lose the emperor's heart.
After weighing the pros and cons, Shen Zhinian chose to sit back and watch.
The moment Gao Yunhuai woke up, he knew he was finished!
He didn't understand. This wasn't the first time he had done something like this, so why was he caught by the guards this time? !
Seeing Shen Zhinian standing behind the emperor, Gao Yunhuai's heart suddenly shook, and he instantly understood the whole story!
is her!
This was all planned by that bitch Roupin!!
The Queen was right, Concubine Rou is a disaster!!!
Gao Yunhuai only hated himself for not listening to the Queen and not taking any action against Concubine Rou. If he had gotten rid of this bitch earlier, his plan today would not have failed!
However, even though he was angry, Gao Yunhuai knew that things had come to this point and he could not do anything to Shen Zhinian anymore. If he dragged this bitch into the water by force, it would only make His Majesty hate the Queen even more.
The only solution now is to try our best to protect the Queen!
Gao Yunhuai is not stupid. He knows that there is no point in quibbling. Others will not believe him, and His Majesty will not believe him even more.
He knocked his head heavily on the ground, and the wound that had just been bandaged began to bleed again: "Your Majesty, all of this was my own idea! It was my ill intentions, and it has nothing to do with the Queen!"
"I have seen that after the Queen's fetus died in her womb, she never got pregnant again, but the concubines in the harem became pregnant with the emperor's heir one after another..."
"I was afraid that the Empress' position would be threatened, so I took the initiative to attack Concubine Meng."
"I hope your majesty will understand!"
The one who committed the crime was clearly the concubine, but the palace maid took all the blame on herself to protect her master. Similar examples are common in the harem.
The concubines in the palace were the daughters, sisters or granddaughters of the high officials in the court. In many cases, the emperor would decide whether to deal with them, not based on right or wrong, but on the interests of all parties.
Therefore, even if everyone knows the truth, if the emperor does not want to get to the bottom of it, he will only punish the palace maid who took the blame.
So this time, will Nangong Xuanyu continue to protect Queen Jiang?
Shen Zhinian was really curious.
The rage in Nangong Xuanyu's eyes grew stronger, his powerful aura was like a mountain collapsing, and his voice was more piercing than the chilly wind: "Do you think I'm a fool?!"
"Without the Queen's order, how could a slave like you have such a big idea?!"
Gao Yunhuai knocked his head against the ground with a loud bang. Even though his head was covered in blood, he seemed to feel no pain. "Your Majesty, the Queen is dignified and virtuous, and she loves the six palaces. She would never do anything to harm the concubines."
"The Queen has been seriously ill for a long time and spends most of her time sleeping. How could she have the energy to murder Concubine Meng?"
"These things are really my own ideas! Your Majesty, you can't ignore the fact that the Queen and you are young couples, and you can't wrongly accuse the Queen!"
Although he castrated himself in order to accompany the Queen, he always had his own pride in his heart and seldom servilely approached anyone.
But at this moment, in order to get rid of Queen Jiang, Gao Yunhuai put aside all his self-esteem and begged the emperor humbly like an ant.
"enough!"
Nangong Xuanyu was too lazy to listen to his excuses and said coldly, "Drag this dog slave to the Ministry of Punishment for me, and let Su Quanye pry his mouth open to see what other evil things he has done!"
The guard replied "yes" respectfully and dragged Gao Yunhuai outside.
"……etc."
The emperor's face was still gloomy, but no one knew what he was thinking about. He ordered again: "Don't make this public first. If anyone asks, just say that Gao Yunhuai offended me, so I put him in the Ministry of Punishment!"
Nangong Xuanyu's move was not to protect Queen Jiang, but the plan to eliminate the Zhenguogong Mansion had reached a critical moment. He couldn't alert the enemy at this time and ruin all his previous efforts.
"I obey my orders!"
Shen Zhinian shook his head in his heart.
it's useless.
Gao Yunhuai was the most loyal dog around Queen Jiang. In his previous life, he had assassinated the emperor for Queen Jiang, and was not afraid of even killing his entire clan. How could he possibly betray her?
However, being able to break Queen Jiang’s most powerful arm is considered a gain today!
Moreover... based on Shen Zhinian's understanding of Nangong Xuanyu, even if he didn't depose the queen, Queen Jiang would definitely not end up well!
At this time, the director of the Imperial Medical Bureau came out from the inner room as if he had lost his parents, and knelt on the ground with a plop!
