Twin Brocade

Chapter 423 Coldness
"Witness, what kind of witness?" Wei Jiahang was free, and threw himself at Empress Cao's feet, begging, "Grandmother, you must save your grandson."

"It's because I don't want to save you." Empress Cao looked at him with pity and asked, "Do you know the identity of this woman? You are so young, why did you have such thoughts."

Wei Jiahang only felt his scalp go numb, and fixedly glanced at the female corpse on the ground, and asked, "Who, who is she?"

Empress Cao shook her head and sighed, "You don't even know her identity, so you dare to attack her rashly. Hang'er, how do you ask me to save you?"

"She, who is she?"

A eunuch came forward and said: "If you go back to the prince of the county, she is Rong Baolin who was recently conferred by the emperor."

"what?!"

Wei Jiahang turned pale with shock, this is actually a concubine in the palace?No matter how low Bao Lin's grade was, she was still the emperor's grandfather's concubine in the harem.At this moment, what did he still not understand? Someone must have deliberately framed him!

And who is this person?After much deliberation, everyone is suspicious.

He glanced at Empress Cao standing in front of him, and flinched back a bit.The one in front of him is the most suspicious and motivated.

He is the prince's second son, so planting it on him will damage his father's reputation incidentally.What's more, this is in the palace, and it is most convenient for Empress Cao to do it.

Empress Cao glanced at him and said calmly, "I don't have the time to deal with you."

Wei Jiahang froze for a moment, then threw himself at her feet, and said, "How dare my grandson doubt Grandma Huang, you must save me, I was framed!"

To be honest, Empress Cao didn't believe that he would be so stupid to do such a thing in the palace.But no matter who set up such a careful bureau for him, how could he not make good use of it from her standpoint?
She waved her hand, and several eunuchs carried the two of them up, and threw them to Wei Jiahang's side like throwing a dead dog.

These two were the eunuchs who had been serving Wei Jiahang before.They looked like they had been tortured. They were beaten to pieces and their flesh was bloody.

"Question." Empress Cao ordered.

The palace man moved a chair for her, and Empress Cao sat down at the door.

The eunuch who was in charge of the interrogation stepped forward, looked down at the two of them, and said, "The queen asked you questions, and answered them truthfully. You are following the county prince, what is going on?"

The two knelt down tremblingly, and one of them replied: "Go back to the empress, the prince of the county is going out to visit the garden, so we will follow. When we got here, he saw a woman running in, and the prince of the county followed him out of curiosity."

"Next, what happened?"

"After we came in, we found that the woman was practicing dancing here. On the spur of the moment, the prince of the county asked his servant to feed her a few drops of medicinal wine. The prince of the county was in a good mood, and spent an afternoon with her here."

"As a result... after the medicinal power passed, the woman pulled out the golden hairpin and committed suicide!"

"No, no!" Wei Jiahang yelled, "You're talking nonsense! I...I have nothing to do with you, you want to frame me like this!"

"Grandmother, listen to my grandson. A little eunuch came to look for me, saying that Princess Baochun sent him to look for me, so I came here with him. As soon as I came in, I smelled a fragrance. The grandson passed out."

"When I woke up, I saw this corpse." Wei Jiahang said hoarsely, "I really didn't do anything!"

He got up, punched and kicked the two eunuchs who had identified him just now, and said in a hateful voice: "Master, how did I treat you all day, huh? What nonsense are you talking about with your eyes open!"

These two eunuchs were not his confidantes, but they served him for two or three years.At a critical moment, Wei Jiahang came to point him out. How could Wei Jiahang think about it.

"You guys, who were instigated by who, you still haven't recruited me honestly!"

"Your Majesty..." The two kneeling on the ground did not dare to dodge, and said in a trembling voice: "What the slaves are telling is the truth, if you ask the slaves to make it up, they won't be able to make it up."

"Okay, stop!" Empress Cao scolded, "Young Duke, what does this look like?"

Wei Jiahang withdrew his hands angrily, pointed at the two and said, "Grandmother, this clearly shows that someone has framed me. You, you have to make the decision for me."

Empress Cao glanced at him and said, "I also want to make the decision for you. It's just that no one can testify for you. How can I believe you?"

In all fairness, she did not believe that Wei Jiahang would do such a stupid thing.He didn't know who he offended, so he was designed like this.There were all the witnesses and material evidence, and the whole game was set up so exquisitely that even the eunuchs around him bit him back.

Thinking of this, Empress Cao felt a chill for no reason.

No matter who the person behind it was, being able to set up such a situation in the palace without anyone noticing made Wei Jiahang a success.As for himself, he hadn't received any news before.That person not only knew the palace well, but also calculated the time so accurately that the more one thought about it, the more frightened he became.

But right now is not the time to think about it.

Such a good opportunity, how could Empress Cao let it go lightly?

She stood up and ordered: "Contain this corpse, and bury it according to the rules of a beauty. Hang'er, you come with me. Those two will take care of it first."

This is the scene of the crime, and before Emperor Qinglong could make a move, she dealt with it first.A fake is a fake after all, if Emperor Qinglong uses the power of shadow guards to investigate this case, I'm afraid the truth will eventually be revealed, why not destroy it first.

Wei Jiahang was overjoyed, and walked a few steps to Empress Cao, and asked, "Grandmother, do you trust me?"

Empress Cao sighed softly, and said, "Although you are not the grandson of my direct relatives, you grew up watching me. How can I not believe you?"

"Look, the prince will be very worried when he sees you now. It has been delayed for a long time, and I have to go back first. You should go and wash up before you come back. You must not delay any longer."

Empress Cao said she believed him, but she confirmed the matter.In her capacity, it was inconvenient to punish Wei Jiahang, so she simply put it down gently and let Emperor Qinglong take the punishment.

Bao Lin who committed suicide was the concubine of Emperor Qinglong.

The singing and dancing in the hall was in full swing, and the arrival of Empress Cao seemed to have attracted no one's attention.However, everyone knows what's in their hearts, they just don't show it.

"Are you back?" Emperor Qing Long raised his wine glass and said, "The empress has worked hard."

Empress Cao smiled slightly, and said: "Your Majesty is serious. In front of Your Majesty, how can a concubine dare to talk about hard work." After finishing speaking, she drank the wine in the glass and said softly: "After the banquet is over, I would like to invite your Majesty Leave the prince behind."

Emperor Qinglong's gaze flickered, and he said, "Okay."

At the moment, he didn't bother to ask any more, put the matter aside and looked at the singing and dancing in the hall.

After grooming, Wei Jiahang finally reappeared in front of everyone, seeing him change into a hair crown, the Prince's face turned cold.
