Empress Shen Gongjiao

Chapter 577 Since Concubine Hua ran out to seek death by herself

Zhang Jin watched Fei Cui being taken down, and looked at the emperor in surprise: "Your Majesty, won't you listen to Fei Cui's words? If there is no confession from her, there may be no way to testify against Concubine Hua."

"Such a dog slave will not be very determined. It is only by letting her suffer a little that she knows where she should stand."

"Then the poison on her body..."

"Concubine Hua is the one who poisoned her. How can I cure her poison?"

The emperor smiled inexplicably, with a hint of sarcasm, "It just so happens that I don't want to wrong any innocent person for no reason. Since Concubine Hua ran out to seek death by herself, then I will fulfill her!"

Zhang Jin's chest trembled slightly, "The emperor means..."

He looked at the emperor in surprise, as if he couldn't believe that what he guessed in his heart was true.

"Compared to those slaves in Yujiao Pavilion, I now feel that Concubine Hua is the one who deserves to be damned more!" The emperor glanced at him, "What's more, false preaching of the imperial decree is a sin of losing one's head, and now I'm only on her Duoan is just a murder charge."

Zhang Jin hesitated and said: "But now, the little eunuch who falsely preached the imperial decree has not been caught yet."

As if to answer his words, at this moment, the guard who went to find the person who falsely preached the imperial decree with Li Detong just now came back.

Li Detong walked up to the emperor, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the man has been found. It's just..."

The emperor raised his eyebrows, and saw the guards behind him walking over carrying a young eunuch.

Zhang Jin's breathing was slightly stagnant, and he suddenly turned back to look at the emperor, and saw the emperor frowned, his eyes narrowed slightly.

What Li Detong hadn't finished speaking was already very clear—the man was found, but it's a pity that he was already dead.

"How did you die?" the emperor asked coldly.

"Back to the emperor, this dog servant already had poison in his mouth. When the servant and others caught him, he took the poison and committed suicide!"

After a pause, seeing that the emperor and Zhang Jin were silent, he tentatively opened his mouth again: "Your Majesty, the slaves have still found out that this person seems to be... brought by the concubine Hua from the palace..."

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Jin frowned.

He really suspected that Concubine Hua was responsible for the false imperial decree. After all, according to today's situation, Concubine Hua is the most likely one—first instigate Fei Cui to slander Concubine Qian, and then ask the little eunuch to falsely pass the imperial decree to concubine Qian. Find out, as long as there are no accidents, or the emperor does not favor Concubine Qian so openly, this plan will succeed.

At that time, it was just an accident that the emperor was so stubborn and partial to right and wrong.

So everything seems so reasonable and logical.

However, after being told by Li Detong, he was not sure what he was thinking.He even felt that there might be someone else who instigated the little eunuch to falsely preach the imperial decree.

After all, who would let the little eunuch by his side do such a thing aboveboard?
Even if Concubine Hua has no brains, it won't be like this, right?
"Li Detong, take someone to Concubine Hua, tell her that Fei Cui has confessed, and the person who falsely preached the imperial decree has also been caught, and then—directly question the person!"

Zhang Jin was startled, and looked up at the emperor in astonishment.

Even the things that he can understand, the emperor will not fail to understand, right?
But if you really want to understand, why would the emperor say that?

Seemingly noticing his gaze, the emperor glanced at him lightly, "Why, is there anything dissatisfied with what you said to me?"
