Chapter 45 Confrontation
Concubine De looked away from the confession, and said without haste, "When will the Eldest Princess' Qingsi Palace have the ability to imprison and judge?"

Yiman casually held the confession in his hand, "The court lady felt guilty for poisoning me, but happened to be captured by people in my palace. She was so remorseful that she couldn't bear the condemnation of her conscience, so she signed the confession The painting has been imprisoned, so why is there any need for prison? Why did the Empress Defei know so well and ask?"

Concubine De glanced at the empress above, "The eldest princess is a blessed person, but this confession was really signed by the poisoned person?"

Yiman smiled slightly, folded up the confession, put it back in Song Guo's hand, and sat back on the chair calmly.

"Isn't that right, just ask the person who poisoned you. Please forgive me, the queen mother. The servant is more than a servant. Seeing that the maid who poisoned the palace was also forced to poison, and the family members outside the palace have been murdered. It is really pitiful." She was saved from death. Now she is waiting outside the temple as a witness."

The queen's heart beat faster and faster, as if she was about to see the sun after being shrouded in the dark cloud of Concubine De for many years, "Call someone in, hurry up."

Concubine De lowered her eyes, as if detached, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

After hearing the summons, Lu Bo, who had been waiting outside the hall, personally helped Wan Chun walk into the hall.

Concubine De put down her teacup, raised her eyes inadvertently, then tightly grasped the armrest under her hand, watching Zaochun quietly walking forward with a calm expression.

"Now that we have witnesses, the eldest princess has prepared physical evidence? You must know that this is a very important matter, and no mistakes can be tolerated."

Yiman smiled lightly and took the roster, weighed it slightly in his hand, "Of course there is, but it just takes some effort. Although there are tens of thousands of people in the palace, just like the wind passing by If you blow ripples, you will be able to find out if you want to. If nothing else, there are many strange people and strange things hidden among those criminal women in Ye Ting."

At this time, Zao Chun was supported by Lu Bo, and had already walked to the place close to the middle and low rank concubines.

Concubine De glanced at the roster with an obvious gap in the middle, and nodded, "It's hard for the Eldest Princess to be so thoughtful at such a young age, that she has prepared all the evidence. On the other hand, the Seventh Princess is not as appropriate as the Eldest Princess. The concubine is considering the seventh princess's marriage recently, so I am really worried."

Yiman lowered his eyes and smiled slightly, put the roster back on the tray, raised his hand, Lu Bo turned around and walked out with Zaochun supported.

Why did they talk about the marriage properly? The queen looked at Yiman and Concubine De, who were looking down in confusion.After glancing at the expressionless Aunt Gao, she had no choice but to follow Concubine De's words and say, "The Seventh Princess said it's time to get haircut early next year, so it's time to think about it."

Concubine De smiled, "Exactly, the concubine heard from the emperor that Cui Shangshu's nephew, Mr. Cui, and Mr. Zhou, the master of Rongyu County, are all unmarried at the right age. The concubine is still undecided and needs the help of the emperor and empress." consider."

The queen nodded, "It should be, but the two of them have no official positions. I heard that Mr. Zhou, the master of Rongyu County, once vowed not to enter the court in his life. I'm afraid it's hard to be beautiful."

Although neither of these two people has official positions, they are both from aristocratic families.Needless to say, the Cui family is entrenched in Dongzhou and has the potential to become a vassal king.It was the Zhou family, which included not only Princess Rongyu, but also two adults from the Zhou family who were officials in the court.It is also a famous family and has been passed down in Jindu for hundreds of years.Even if they were young and frivolous and swore not to enter the imperial court, could those who entered the imperial court still have a higher status than these aristocratic princes?This is a deliberate attempt to use the Seventh Princess to win over the aristocratic family to help the Seventh Prince.

Concubine De shook her head helplessly, "Nowadays, children really can't help their parents at all. Empress Lao has helped to see each other. Once the decision is made, while they are still young, good things will come in pairs."

Why are you in such a hurry?It sounds like it means getting married before the haircut date.Even if you just perform the six rites once, it will take more than half a year, let alone the emperor marrying his daughter?It was so inconsistent with regulations that the Queen thought about it and didn't know whether she should agree or not.

Yiman smiled, got up and gave a half-greeting, "It's such a good couple, I really have to congratulate Empress Defei and Seventh Sister first. When Seventh Sister gets married, I will definitely go to send makeup to congratulate her."

Concubine De smiled lightly and nodded, "You sisters have been separated since you were young, and you are a little stranger. We just take this opportunity to get along more with each other. When the eldest princess also marries out of the palace in the future, the sisters will support you."

Yiman smiled and nodded, "This is natural."

The next concubine felt as if she was in a fog when she heard it, she could understand every word of the Concubine De and the Eldest Princess, but she couldn't understand how to link it together.Originally intending to expose and sue the person who poisoned him, he arranged a marriage for the Seventh Princess before Jiji?

Ji Chongrong and others listened carefully, and although they vaguely heard some code words, they could only keep it in their hearts and go back to guessing.It's just that I don't dare to underestimate the eldest princess anymore. In just a few words, I don't know what kind of exchange I made with Concubine De, but I actually got involved with the seventh princess.

The queen also realized something at this time, and looked at it with some worry and blame.

Seeing the queen's frown, she apologized and said, "Mother is tired in the afternoon and has disturbed her for too long. I will take my leave first and come back tomorrow to say hello."

The queen wanted to call Yiman to stop, but Nanny Gao handed the queen a cup of tea, the queen sighed, put her fingers on her forehead, frowned slightly, "If that's the case, then you can step back."

"Yes."

Yiman bowed and left with Jilan pinecones and the evidence in the tray.

When the concubines heard that the queen was tired, they also left one after another.

After leaving the Qingning Palace, he watched Lu Bo bend over and salute in the distance, then nodded his head, facing the concubines who were greeting him.

Concubine De held Aunt Qin's arm and walked out slowly. When she saw Yiman, she stopped and said, "Although the eldest princess is a medicine boy and knows some techniques of qihuang, you must take care of yourself. It's hot in summer, so don't be greedy for coolness." Play by the water."

Yiman lowered his eyes and smiled, put his hands forward, almost pressed against De Concubine's dress, and lowered his voice in De Concubine's ear, "Poisoning is too old-fashioned, isn't it? Bai Renyi was raised by you to be such a fool?"

Man Man took two steps back, held Ji Lan's arm, and turned to leave.

A little palace maid behind Nanny Qin didn't know if she wanted to make a show of herself. She looked at the back of the eldest princess angrily, "Why doesn't the eldest princess salute to the empress? Doesn't she know the difference between honor and inferiority?"

Nanny Qin suddenly turned her head and slashed across like a knife, causing the little palace maid to shiver in fright, lowering her head and breathing rapidly.

The usually unsmiling Concubine De concubine actually kindly explained at this moment, "She is a titled first princess, and she is of the same rank as this Palace. If you are not polite, no one will punish you." After saying this, she glanced at the little palace maid, Qin Nanny Mama understood and nodded slightly.
