Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 73 Mr. Li's Helplessness

In Changchun Palace, Mrs Wu looked at Li Yongchang with a smile, as if she was not the one who spoke.

"Since Director Li said that there are both human and physical evidence, why don't you take it up and take a look. The queen and the concubine are both there, so I just let them make a difference, how about it?"

Queen Qian also said, "Yes, Director Li, did you make a mistake? What's going on?"

Concubine Zhou Gui was even more direct, snorted coldly, and said, "How could the empress dowager give such an order, how can I say that concubine Xian is the relic of the late emperor, how can you arrest people just by saying one word of yours? "

After being asked by the three nobles one after another, Li Yongchang sighed again in his heart.

No wonder the Empress Dowager wanted to come over in person before, why didn't he find out that Concubine Wu Xian was such a difficult person to deal with.

Just looking at Wu's calm appearance, Li Yongchang knew that it was impossible to fight quickly.

In the same sentence, the Queen Mother's oral decree can suppress others, but not the queen, not to mention that in this Changchun Palace, there is not only the queen, but also a concubine Zhou.

These two people, alone, Li Yongchang can barely cope.

If Queen Qian is alone, he only needs to be tougher, insisting that it is the order of the Queen Mother, how can he take people away. After all, although Queen Qian is the lord of the six palaces, she has a weak temper, and the emperor is lenient. As for revenge on him later.

If only Concubine Zhou was here, he would dare to take someone with a ruthless heart. After all, Concubine Zhou would be a domineering concubine, and with the seal given by the Queen Mother, Concubine Zhou might not really dare to stop him.

But when these two people are added together, Li Yongchang is like one big head and two big!
Changchun Palace is the domain of Concubine Zhou, and if she was forced to take someone here, she would be the first to refuse, but the Empress was here. In terms of her status, the Empress was the one who was in charge of the Sixth Palace. If she was here, even if It is to take out the empress dowager's seal, and the effect is also limited.

This Concubine Wu Xian will really take advantage of the situation!

Li Yongchang cursed inwardly, but he did not dare to show disrespect on his face, and said: "Two niangniangs, this is the physical evidence that the ministers found in Jingyang Palace. There are two palace ladies outside who have also confessed, and they are sorting out. I found these when I was in the box of Concubine Xian, and I have all the evidence and evidence, it's not that the officials took people for no reason."

Having said that, Li Yongchang took out the stack of letters from Cheng Jing from his sleeve and handed it over.

Queen Qian ordered someone to take it over, and she looked through it, but she saw that there were correspondence between Concubine Wu Xian and King Yu. There was some way to bribe courtiers, cultivate power secretly, and some things involving government affairs. Although she didn't quite understand it, she said Linking inside and outside, it can be justified.

Having said that, Empress Qian has been worrying about the emperor who was kidnapped by the thieves these days. She actually has no intention to take care of the matter of the Six Palaces. However, Mrs. Wu is the last concubine of the previous emperor, so Empress Qian couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed for a while. , some undecided.

Seeing this situation, Li Yongchang took the opportunity to say.

"Empress Empress, the Empress Dowager has a decree on this matter, and the ministers have only temporarily detained Concubine Xian, without daring to be disrespectful. When the Empress Dowager returns, the old man will handle it himself."

Empress Qian hesitated: "If this is known to the elders of the foreign dynasty, I'm afraid they will complain that the queen mother treats the first emperor's concubine harshly..."

At this time, Concubine Wu Xian said, "Empress Empress, can Aijia see these physical evidences?"

Empress Qian couldn't make up her mind at first, so when she heard the words, she handed over the letter in her hand.

Concubine Wu Xian took it over and flipped it over, sneered, and smashed the letter on Li Yongchang's face, saying.

"Just based on this, you dare to bring someone to take Ai's house? Blind your dog's eyes!"

The people in the room were startled by Concubine Wu Xian's sudden remarks, and the little prince on the side also cried in fear. Concubine Zhou Gui felt distressed for a while, and hurriedly hugged and coaxed.

However, Concubine Wu Xian did not stop, but continued.

"King Yu is the emperor's younger brother. The emperor has long granted him permission to enter the palace at any time. If he has anything to say to the Aijia, does he need to write these things?"

"Let's take a step back, even if King Yu had already plotted it, what did he do for a harem woman in the Aijia family by writing this, and keep it for you, Director Li, as physical evidence?"

The two sentences made Li Yongchang sweat and cry in his heart.

Today's incident was originally framed, and without careful preparation in advance, there would naturally be loopholes. Originally, if Mrs. Sun came later, she would not have listened to Concubine Wu Xian's words at all, so she would be locked up and the case settled directly. something happened.

In fact, Empress Dowager Sun didn't really want to kill this case, and then do what to Concubine Wu Xian, she just wanted to knock the mountain and shake the tiger and lock up Concubine Wu Xian for a while.

Once Zhu Qiyu dared to make any changes during this period, he had to consider the situation of Concubine Wu Xian.

Unexpectedly, at this juncture, she was tripped by Zhu Qiyu and could not come, so she could only send Li Yongchang over.

And not only that, Concubine Wu Xian also brought Queen Qian and Concubine Zhou to accompany them, which would have led to the current embarrassing situation.

At this time, Queen Qian also realized that something was wrong, slammed the table, and said angrily: "Li Yongchang, what the hell is going on? Could it be that you dare to falsely pass on the decree?"

oh my queen concubine...

Li Yongchang complained in his heart for a while, no wonder the Empress Dowager never looked down on this Empress, how could she be in charge of the Sixth Palace with such a mind.

After all, he is the eunuch in charge of the Cining Palace. Since he came to get people, he must have been ordered by the queen mother. Even if the reason is unreliable, you should know that the queen mother must have some plans. How can you think of a fake edict? ...

However, this is actually not to blame Queen Qian. In any case, Queen Qian has been in charge of the Six Palaces for many years, so she does not have any scheming.

It's just that since the news of the emperor's captivity came out, Queen Qian has been worried about the safety of the emperor, and has never cared about the affairs of the harem.
Before that, Empress Dowager Sun and Concubine Wu Xian had always been very harmonious. In addition, Empress Dowager Sun had never looked down on this daughter-in-law and would not tell her anything, so Empress Qian did not know about the fallout between the two, so she naturally subconsciously I feel that Empress Dowager Sun will not target Concubine Wu Xian for no reason.

Therefore, it is natural to question Li Yongchang.

However, Li Yongchang has been able to stay in the harem for so many years, and it is not without his skills. Seeing that the queen has been unable to persuade him, he simply resolutely decided to take the risk of being hated by Concubine Zhou and punished by Queen Qian. The letter from the Queen Mother, said.

"Empress Empress, the ministers will never dare to falsely pass on the decree. This is the certificate given by the Empress Dowager. The ministers are here under orders. If the two empresses have any doubts, you can ask the Empress Dowager when you go back."

After all, he shouted towards the door.

"Come here, take down the virtuous concubine Wu!"

Immediately, several servants who were left outside the Warm Pavilion by Li Yongchang rushed in and went straight to Concubine Wu Xian.

Seeing that Li Yongchang was going to be tough, Queen Qian's face suddenly sank, and she shouted fiercely.

"presumptuous!"

On the other side, Concubine Zhou took two steps back, hugged the little prince tightly in her arms, and shouted in a sharp voice: "Come here, escort!

The palace maids serving on the side quickly stepped forward to stop them, but the people brought by Li Yongchang were specially selected. They had practiced martial arts with great strength.

At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared and stood in front of Mrs Wu. It was none other than Mrs. Wang, Princess Yun who had been serving by the side.

Seeing that someone was blocking him, Li Yongchang pushed the person to the side subconsciously. Mr. Wang fell to the ground and just hit the mahogany cabinet next to him. Blood flowed from his head, and he fainted immediately.

Seeing this situation, Queen Qian's face was ashen, and she said sharply to the dozen or so court attendants of Changchun Palace who heard the movement and ran in: "Don't take these thieves who have committed troubles to this palace!"

Although the few people brought by Li Yongchang were strong and strong, after all, there were few people, and they were tied up by the people who rushed up in a few moments.

But the Changchun Palace was in a mess at the moment. The little prince was hugged tightly by Concubine Zhou, and he was so frightened that he burst into tears. During the fight between the servants, a lot of porcelain was knocked down, and the ground was full of debris.

Mrs Wu knelt on the ground, hugged Mrs Wang who had passed out, and shouted to the person next to her, "Go and teach the imperial physician."

In the chaos, no one noticed that a young little servant slipped out of the side door of the warm pavilion...
