Daming King of Punishment

The matter was just as Song Wuya thought, and the Empress continued: "It was not until after that incident subsided that I finally understood the whole story. Gong is also disheartened and gave up the idea of ​​asking for an explanation for himself."

Chapter 169

?Chapter 169 Reversal

"So that's how it is! The empress, you can bear it for two years, is it just to avenge this hatred?" After hearing this, Bai Zhuo was also stunned. He was not as tactful as Song Wuya in thinking about problems, so he immediately said it bluntly. Say it.

Song Wuya's whole body trembled when he heard this, and he almost fell to his knees in fright at his words. Before the Empress Empress could react, he had already jumped at Bai Zhuo's words.

"I hope the empress will forgive me. Brother Bai is always outspoken. I didn't expect to say such irresponsible words today, which offends the innocence of the empress. I hope that the empress will not be as knowledgeable as him."

It can be said that Song Wuya was really terrified at this time. After all, there is still no definite answer to this matter. He dare not say that the Empress Dowager did it, but Bai Zhuo's words directly put the criminal The suspicion is pointed at the empress.

I thought the empress would be furious, but unexpectedly she shook her head and laughed.

"My lord is worrying too much. The biggest suspect of Concubine Yi's death should be the palace. It is reasonable for this Mr. Bai to have such a guess. In the case two years ago, everyone in the palace has never From top to bottom, it is believed that Ben Gong did the outrageous thing. So that Ben Gong has been named vicious since then. Until now, when people talk about this, they are all dissatisfied with Ben Gong. However, since this I have been burdened with all the crimes, and I don't care about being suspected by others anymore. Today's things are not the same as they were back then, but I feel that the emperor will not be so hasty this time."

"After all, in the past two years, the emperor is no longer the ignorant brat he used to be. Compared with his current maturity, he is able to consider issues more strictly."

"I didn't expect that the empress is so benevolent, but she is really worthy of the four words "Mother Yi Tianxia". Back then, the emperor found you guilty without careful investigation. Not only did you not bear any grudges, but now you still trust the emperor so much, it is really embarrassing. I'm touched." Song Wuya immediately expressed his feelings, this was not his compliment, but from the heart.

Just imagine, in this imperial palace, almost being deprived of the honorable status of one person under one person and above ten thousand people for no reason, and unable to enjoy the glory and wealth that should be his own. In the end, in this deep palace, living alone and widowed here, Anyone who can't enjoy any good things in this world will feel resentful.

The empress shook her head: "Young master, you are absurd! I was also furious back then, and I was grounded in this palace. Every time I couldn't figure it out. The resentment towards the emperor made me even more irritable, so that a short The days have aged a lot. This appearance is really far from my age. I'm afraid you think I should be around forty, right?"

This point was rightly said by the empress. When Song Wuya first met the empress, the first thought in his mind was, could this emperor have an Oedipus plot?After marrying a woman of such an age, no matter how you look at it, she is ten years older.

However, this thought was only fleeting. After all, in this ancient time, everything was not decided by the emperor, especially the choice of the empress. I am afraid that the emperor did not have the slightest right to intervene.So Song Wuya felt relieved and didn't think about it too much.But at the moment the Queen's words made him not know what to say.Although he really thought so in his heart, he still couldn't say it casually after all, after all, this woman cared more about her age and appearance than anything else.

Seeing that Song Wuya was not easy to answer, the empress smiled and said: "Don't worry, young master. According to the ancient system, this palace has been carefully selected to have such an honorable status. The emperor of this palace is three years old, but this In two years, he has aged more than ten years. It really makes you laugh, my lord."

Easy to approach, this is Song Wuya's evaluation of this empress.He felt that the queen was just a poor woman, and apart from this, she couldn't see any difference from ordinary people, especially at this time, she was completely a helpless woman who had compromised with God.

"Your Majesty is knowledgeable and sensible, and she is also a person of temperament. It's a pity that in this palace, you, who are easy-going and ignorant of world affairs, cannot survive. Now, I am following the emperor's order to find out the death of Concubine Yi, but it has involved two years. The previous matter was pointed at the empress, but at the same time, I also had doubts about it, so I came here to ask the empress for proof. I don’t know if the empress has any details about the incident two years ago ?”

The most important thing was the progress of the case. Although the empress had opened up the chatterbox, after the discussion, nothing important was mentioned, so Song Wuya hastily brought the topic back to that matter.

"Hey!" The Empress shook her head and sighed after listening to the question, "What more details can I have? The two court ladies who identified me back then didn't even confront me, and their whereabouts were unknown in the end. After that, I also sent Xiaoqing went to find out about this matter, but she couldn't find anyone who knew about it. Those maids and eunuchs who served Concubine Yi disappeared overnight, and finally became no witnesses. It is precisely because of this, I really couldn't think of any way to get rid of the suspicion for myself, so I finally gave up on this idea."

"Hey!" Song Wuya couldn't help sighing, so what happened two years ago has completely entered a state of death without evidence.This made him unable to judge this matter, even if the empress is really the murderer, based on his speculation right now, it is impossible to judge.

After he sighed, Xiaoqing, who had been listening carefully, suddenly said: "At that time, all the clues had been cut off, and the servants tried everything, but they couldn't find the person directly related to this matter. You, even the Supreme Hospital can't do anything about it. But at that time, another thing happened, that is, Concubine Liu Gui suddenly announced that she would devote herself to cultivating Buddhism."

"Ok?"

Song Wuya let out a sigh of relief, Concubine Liu Gui's concentrating on cultivating Buddhism is completely irrelevant to this matter, why Xiaoqing has to talk about this matter?Song Wuya had doubts about Concubine Liu Gui before, but now he heard that she had only practiced Buddhism for two years, this made him feel that his previous doubts could be resolved.

"Is there anything strange about this?" He didn't know what Xiaoqing wanted to do, so he could only ask.

Xiao Qingsha said in a serious manner: "Of course it has something to do with it! Don't you think it's too much a coincidence? Why don't you practice sooner and later, except for such things, do you say you want to practice Buddhism? Besides, you practice Buddhism Just practice Buddhism, and tell the whole harem about this matter, isn’t it a little too rich here? What’s more! Apart from this, there is another thing that is really doubtful.”

Unexpectedly, the reason why Xiaoqing said this was not for no reason, and there is really something strange here.

"Oh? What's the matter?" Song Wuya asked eagerly. When he came to the queen's palace, he didn't ask a few useful words until this time.

Hearing this, Xiaoqing took a deep breath, and said seriously: "The maids of Concubine Liu Gui died violently for no reason!"

"There are other things like this?" Song Wuya asked in surprise.

He almost stood up from the chair, this matter is really not a simple matter.If under that incident, a few court ladies were killed suddenly for no reason, then there is a great similarity with Yifei Empress who suddenly changed the court ladies and eunuchs. There may not be any connection between these two events.

Xiaoqing nodded affirmatively, "For this matter, the maidservant didn't care about it at the time. It had nothing to do with the matter of Concubine Yi, but the more I thought about it later, the more I felt it was wrong. Why is it such a coincidence? To this day, this matter is only a suspicion, if it is really said that Concubine Liu Gui has something to do with this matter, then there is no way to prove it, and no one can prove it."

Indeed, I am afraid that this matter can only end here.Song Wuya nodded slightly. He looked at the baby in the empress' arms, thought for a while, and got up to leave.

As soon as he stood up, the Empress immediately said eagerly: "Young masters, this child..."

"Your Majesty, don't worry." Before the Empress Empress could speak, Song Wuya rushed to say: "The purpose of coming here today is only the case of Empress Yifei two years ago and recently, as for other matters, I will not care about it next time. Did not say."

Only then did the empress nod in satisfaction, she naturally didn't want Song Wuya to tell about meeting the little prince today.I'm afraid that she is not afraid that others will disturb their peace, but that she is worried that there will be poisonous hands reaching out to their mother and son in this palace.

After leaving the Empress's bedroom, Bai Zhuo couldn't wait to ask.

"Brother Wuya, did you find anything?"

Indeed, this time the harvest can be described as zero.Not to mention Bai Zhuo, even Song Wuya didn't find anything, so it's no wonder Bai Zhuo asked him.

"Now it seems that there is really a problem with the incident two years ago. Even if it is the recent incident, I am afraid that other people are secretly instigating it. I am afraid that the empress's suspicion can be directly eliminated, after all She no longer needs to argue with Empress Yifei."

"That's true." Bai Zhuo understood Song Wuya's words, he nodded, but did not clarify.

Now, Song Wuya has another object of suspicion in his heart, and that is Concubine Liu Gui.Xiaoqing specifically mentioned her, and also told her about the sudden death of the palace lady, and the suspicion of the queen empress was removed, and the remaining four noble concubines were all suspected.

"This time, after making a big circle, I finally returned to the original starting point." Song Wuya laughed at himself helplessly, shaking his head and striding forward.

Chapter 1 Seventy

Chapter 1 Seventy

It was getting late, and the weather was cold, Song Wuya was blowing cold wind, so he had no intention of continuing.Now at this time, he was afraid of bumping into the emperor in the harem, and that would be a little embarrassing.

"Brother Bai, how long has it been since we entered the harem?" Song Wuya asked inexplicably.

Hearing this, Bai Zhuo also frowned. He pondered for a while and said, "It seems like this is the fourth day, right?"

"Oh? Really?" Song Wuya also forgot about this matter, but he felt that Bai Zhuo's answer was not certain.

The two immediately left the palace directly, Song Wuya and the two in the inn had just returned when the waiter from the inn greeted them.

"Little brother, the magistrate will treat you later. If we want to go out for dinner, there is no need to greet us."

Before waiting for the waiter to speak, Song Wuya directly rejected him with one sentence.He went straight back to the room, and the package was still neatly placed where it was. He opened the package carefully, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Brother Wu Ya, why did you suddenly laugh?" Bai Zhuo looked at Song Wu Ya in puzzlement, closed the door, and walked up to him.

Song Wuya didn't explain, he waved his hand and said, "Let's go out to eat, the magistrate is still waiting for us."

"Huh? Brother Wuya, do you really mean it?" Bai Zhuo had never heard of it. He was about to ask Song Wuya about the prefect inviting them to dinner. This is absolutely nothing. "How did you fool the waiter in the shop, the magistrate, to invite us to dinner?"

"Let's go, don't talk about it, you'll know in a while." Song Wuya smiled and patted Bai Zhuo's shoulder, before walking outside.

When he came to the door, he immediately called out loudly: "Second brother, bring some hot water."

"Okay! Young master wait a moment." Hearing the sound of footsteps, the waiter ran down the stairs and responded at the same time.

This little Bai Zhuo was surprised, he looked at Song Wuya and asked, "Why did the waiter come up here?"

"Hehe! Naturally, we are going to greet our two distinguished guests!" Song Wuya looked at Bai Zhuo with a smirk.
