Power ministers always make things difficult for me

"The truth is just a guess. How could there be any suggestion of murdering the emperor's heir?" Rong Qin dismissed his suspicions and then changed the subject: "But... now that you appear here, it just proves that they are indeed harboring repeat criminals."

The meaning of Rong Qin's words was already obvious. He was telling her the consequences of what he did today.

If Pei Qi cannot clear his suspicion today, even if Jiang Yuelian has the restriction of the posthumous edict, Rong Qin will not be able to kill her in a short time, but he can still trap her in prison and wait for death.

Jiang Lingfeng and even Cui Shaogong will be arrested and imprisoned.

But since she had the courage to come here today, how could she be frightened by Rong Qin's few words?

Pei Qi's face remained as usual, with an unpredictable smile: "Indeed, due to the unscrupulous methods of the Right Prime Minister, Pei fell thousands of feet and was named a felon. Countless people had to poke Pei after dinner. His backbone was so strong that he had to gnash his teeth to shout out Pei's name. Thanks to the gift of the Right Prime Minister, these days, Pei is attacked from all directions and besieged on all sides."

Even when he was humiliated at the Prime Minister's Mansion, he even thought of seeking death.

No one knows the desperate life better than her.

However, these pains will be transformed into motivation for her to continue to fight against Rong Qin, and she will never let him act recklessly in Dasheng.

"But if Pei can prove his innocence today, all the crimes that the Right Prime Minister has previously determined will be all false judgments."

"What the Prime Minister owes must be repaid."

Pei Qi's words were merciless, and even clearly contained dissatisfaction, harsh criticism, and even hatred towards Rong Qin.

Apart from the late emperor, perhaps the only person in the court who dared to talk to Rong Qin like this was Pei Qi.

"That's enough!" Smelling the smell of gunpowder in the court getting stronger, Jiang Fengchuan pinched his eyebrows and looked at Pei Qi displeased: "You have already admitted the sin of murdering my father, and now you say you want to prove your innocence. , Dasheng Law will not allow you to play such a childish game!"

Pei Qi had long expected that Jiang Fengchuan would say this. He and Rong Qin were both jackals and tigers, so they naturally stood on the same side.

She sneered and did not regard Jiang Fengchuan as a prisoner at all: "As His Highness the Second Highness said just now, before the execution, Pei had endured countless torturous punishments, including salt whips, soldering irons, and even the tendons and tendons of his hands and feet. "Definitely, Pei is made of flesh and blood, and his mouth is not strong. If the right prime minister indulges his subordinates and forces Pei to confess by any means, how can Pei resist?"

In full view of everyone, Pei Qi personally tore open those ugly old scars.

Even the soldiers in the military camp could not help frowning under these punishments, but she looked as if she was relieved.

Cui Shaogong's eyes were complicated. He looked at Pei Qi's back and didn't know what he was thinking.

She actually... endured this.

Before Cui Shaogong could think more, Pei Qi's words to Jiang Fengchuan were mixed with a little contempt: "But it is only because Pei was rescued that he can stand here again. But you, the prisoner, ignored him and rejected Pei's self-certification of innocence." How can I make hundreds of officials bow their heads with such an opportunity and such demeanor..."

"How to become emperor?"

The heart-wrenching words were like sharp arrows poking at Jiang Fengchuan. His face was as black as iron, and he gritted his teeth: "You...!"

Before Jiang Fengchuan could say anything, some murmurs in the hall reached his ears.

"If it is true, as Mr. Pei said, that the original crime of murdering the late emperor was to extract a confession through torture, then..."

"Wait a minute, don't say it so firmly. The facts are not clear yet. If the Imperial Master has no evidence to prove his innocence, today's matter will be a farce."

"Yes, yes, don't worry, don't worry, look again!"

The courtiers' constant suspicion made Jiang Fengchuan even more thorny.

Even Rong Qin remained silent.

At present, the DPRK and China are polarized, and all the ministers want is nothing more than that answer.

But if Pei Qi is allowed to continue and Li Shi comes forward to tell the truth, the prince will be released from prison, Pei Qi's crime of regicide will be self-defeating, and he, the right prime minister, will also be criticized for using lynching.But if you stop Pei Qi and tie him down forcibly, it will be difficult to silence everyone in Youyou.

No matter whether he goes forward or backward, it is not good for him.

Pei Qi, this is forcing him.

But now, even Duan Qianjun has disappeared, how can he find a way to achieve both ends...

Seeing Jiang Fengchuan's delay in making a decision, Jiang Lingfeng felt that he could not wait any longer, so he stepped forward and said, "Master Supervisor, I believe that the Imperial Master should be given a chance to prove his innocence."

"I agree." Cui Shaogong also opened his mouth.

Immediately afterwards, there were the voices of support from those ministers who intended to cling to the Cui family and seek the truth.

In the current situation, Jiang Fengchuan had to think clearly about the consequences no matter how much he wanted to stop it.

After a long time, Jiang Fengchuan couldn't resist the response of the ministers, and waved his hands a little irritably: "That's all, I will give you a chance to prove your innocence."

"I hope you won't disappoint me."

After getting the response he wanted, he curled his lips and pretended to be somewhat respectful: "Then I'd like to trouble the supervisor and invite Li Shi from the imperial hospital to enter the palace."

Having said the words, Jiang Fengchuan had no room for regret, so he had no choice but to cooperate with Pei Qi's wishes: "Come, go to the Imperial Hospital and ask for Dr. Li."

"There's no need to go to such trouble." Pei Qi stopped the eunuch who was sent and said, "Doctor Li is right outside the palace."

In order to prevent Liu Yushun's bones from being broken from happening again, Pei Qi was thoughtful this time and specially brought Li Shi with him.

She will avoid unnecessary variables.

"Xuan." Jiang Fengchuan said solemnly.

"Xuan Li's Imperial Physician Li Shi enters the palace——"

Following the announcement, Li Shicai, who had been waiting outside the palace at that time, walked in. He was not as relaxed as Pei Qi in the court, but seemed particularly reserved: "The humble minister is here to see the prisoner!"

"Get up." Jiang Fengchuan glanced at Li Shi, then turned to Pei Qi: "I've called you, but I want to see what you want to say."

Under the gaze of the ministers, Pei Qi turned her head. In the temporarily silent hall, her voice seemed particularly clear.

"As we all know, when the late emperor contracted a serious illness, he was not only accompanied by the prince, but also Li Shi, who was the personal physician. The medicine and meals that the prince presented to him every day would go through the hands of Dr. Li, so the prince gave him Doctor Li knows best whether the medicine is poisonous or not."

"On the day the prince ascended the throne, Dr. Li kept claiming that the prince poisoned the medicine and killed the late emperor. The prince was unable to defend himself and was unjustly imprisoned. But since Dr. Li knew that the medicine was poisonous, why didn't he stop it? He had to wait until he ascended the throne. Ricai spoke out to denounce this matter, so Doctor Li might as well explain it in person in front of the ministers."

Although Li Shi was willing to come to her to clarify the matter of slandering the prince, Pei Qi was still dissatisfied with him.

If he had not perjured himself for Rong Qin, the prince would not have been imprisoned, she would not have suffered infamy and fled the imperial capital, and the court would not have had thieves in power like it is now.

Apart from Rong Qin, Li Shi was also the instigator of everything.

This time he was willing to come forward and tell the truth. Pei Qi didn't know the reason, but thought it was an act of atonement out of guilt.

If after today, Li Shi is imprisoned for perjury, Pei Qi will protect his life, but the punishment he deserves will not be less.

Every cause must have its effect, and he should also bear Li Shi's responsibility.
