Chapter 784: Li's Confession
If it was really the instructing of King Chen, it would be unimaginable. It was not acceptable to the entire Ming Dynasty. It would have a strong impact on the country and country of the Ming Dynasty.
The reason is very simple. If Prince Chen really did this, it means that Prince Chen was dissatisfied with Zhu Yuanzhang and was hiding evil intentions. Prince Chen held military power and held important armed forces in the Ming Dynasty. Such a person was the pillar of the court.
So Queen Ma's face immediately became serious. Instinctively, she wanted to say that this was impossible, but she knew that since the emperor wanted her to ask, the emperor naturally had his own intentions.
"Okay, then I'll go now." Queen Ma said.
It is of great importance. Although it is getting late now, Queen Ma can't wait for the next day.
Zhu Yuanzhang came so late, and that was the same thing, so he asked Empress Ma to take a trip.
It was dark and the palace gate was closed, but it was the palace gate outside, and the inside was still unobstructed.
Queen Ma was worried. The eunuch in front was lying a lantern and looking at the road ahead. Soon, she arrived at the place where Li lived.
At this time, Li had not yet gone to bed. When he heard the Empress arrive, he immediately ran out of the house where he lived.
"Empress, the Ai family is wronged. Please ask the Empress to take charge of the Ai family." Although Li didn't know why the Empress came so late, she knew that since the Empress was, she must be sure of it. I don't know when it will be when I see the Empress next time.
Ma Xiuying looked at Li in front of her. Compared to before, Li became much thinner. She used to be very tough and plump in her body. But now she has become thinner, especially her face, even her cheekbones are exposed.
This is a pregnant person. You should eat more. You must be locked up here, depression, and unable to sleep or eat, which leads to gradually becoming thinner.
How could she know that it was because Li Shi couldn't eat enough every day, which caused this.
However, when thinking of Li's actions, especially Li's courage to harm other imperial concubines, and violated the palace's taboo. It is a crime to be able to be like today.
"Li, you used abortion pills to assassinate other imperial concubines. Dali Temple has completely found out about this matter. Have you pleaded guilty?" asked Ma Xiuying.
Just now, Li said that he was wronged, but Ma Xiuying knew that these things must have been done by Li.

"Empress, the Ai family is wronged. The Ai family doesn't want to do these things. They are all those who are highly powerful in the north who force the Ai family to do this." Li said.
When he heard Li say this, Ma Xiuying's heart sank. The person in the north, who is of high status and powerful? Isn't it just that Prince Chen? Could it be that Prince Chen really did this? If so, Prince Chen's scheming would be really vicious!
"The mother of the Ai family went to Yangzhou two years ago, and since then, there has been no news. Later, the Ai family learned that her mother was controlled and used the mother of the Ai family to threaten the Ai family and asked the Ai family to put these pills into the food of other imperial concubines. The Ai family was confused for a moment and did such a mistake. Empress, the Ai family is really wronged!" Li knew that the most important time was, and she cried a lot.
Hearing Li's words, a terrible thought flashed in Ma Xiuying's mind. It was indeed Prince Chen! If it was Prince Chen really, Prince Chen's scheming would be too deep.
In an instant, Ma Xiuying even felt like the sky was falling. If this matter was true, the Ming Dynasty would definitely be trapped in a civil war. He had just driven away the Tartars and wanted to fight with Chen Feng. Chen Feng's army had such strong combat power. I'm afraid that even if his own army went all over, he would not be sure of winning.
Wait, there seems to be something wrong with this? Ma Xiuying was confused just now, but she still realized something inappropriate.
Yes, just now, Li said that her mother went to Yangzhou two years ago and had no news since then. However, last year, Li once chatted with him and said that he wanted to go home to visit his relatives. At that time, he agreed. However, because there was still fighting in front of him, in order not to spend more money, he only sent a team of ten people to escort Li to home. Li went back and forth and walked for three months.
If it were her mother who had no news two years ago, why did she go home to visit her last year? After she arrived, she didn't tell me that her mother was missing?
Thinking of this incident, look at Li's face, which was full of falsehood, and all of this was pretending!
"Mrs. Li, your mother was controlled two years ago?" asked Queen Ma.
"Well, yes, it's all because of the cowardly personality of the Ai family and thinking about their mother, for fear that their mother would be in danger, so they would obey others' mercy and make such a big mistake." Li said.
Since the drug cannot be denied, I will just push it to others. Who is more suitable except Prince Chen? Li cried and was secretly proud in his heart. The one Hu Weiyong provided him with this
A method is really good.
"So, a year ago, did you go home to visit your relatives? Did you go back to your hometown or to Yangzhou?" asked Queen Ma.
As soon as he said this, Li took a deep breath. He had suffered too many blows during this period, so why did he forget such an important thing?
At that time, she naturally returned to her hometown. Her mother arrived in Yangzhou after she went home to visit her relatives and several months later. However, she just said that it was two years ago, because the first time she gave medicine to other concubines was almost two years ago. If she was controlled by someone six months ago, it would not be explained the reason for her previous actions.
Originally, from half a year to two years, Hu Weiyong promised to help her with other things. For example, letting people from the village in her hometown tell lies together, it proved that they had moved away two years ago.
However, the incident of her going home to visit her husband could not be changed, especially the place where she went home? Is it in Yangzhou? The queen, just ask the team of soldiers who escorted her at that time, you will know. Is it in her hometown? How can I explain the fact that her mother was controlled two years ago?
Li's mind was very confused, but he couldn't think of a countermeasure.
"Li, why don't you reply? Is this difficult to answer? Or have you forgotten it?" Queen Ma asked, and her words showed unhappiness.
Empress Ma is not a fool. Li's behavior just now has been confirmed. She was just lying. She really didn't expect that Li was still lying until now.
Moreover, Li also wanted to pour the dirty water on Prince Chen. During the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, Prince Chen had great contributions. Now, Prince Chen guarded the border and worked hard and made great contributions. If the court had a conflict with Prince Chen because of being provoked by a traitor, it would definitely not be the ending that Queen Ma wanted to see.
Even if there are no such things as before, Empress Ma will not let Li go of the matter today. Li's actions are endangering the entire Ming Dynasty!
If I hadn't remembered last year's incident and exposed Li's tricks, I'm afraid the Ming Dynasty would have been unstable. Empress Ma would have been a little scared.
However, how could Li slander Prince Chen? How could she do this?
"Yes, yes, Empress Qibing returned to her hometown at that time, and the concubine also saw her mother. She felt that her mother was different at that time, but she didn't expect that her mother was actually controlled. Before the concubine left, her mother returned home. When the concubine left, her mother was captured in Yangzhou again." Li could only speak without hesitation.
Opening a river, editing the Tao in this way.
"So that's it, so that's it." Ma Xiuying couldn't help but get angry when she saw Li fooling herself like this. She has always been gentle and rarely gets angry.
"Li, until now, have you not pleaded guilty? Do you think this palace is so easy to be teased?" Ma Xiuying said in a stern voice.
Ma Xiuying had never spoken loudly like this before. This time, she was indeed extremely angry. Ma Xiuying had always thought that Li was an honest and trustworthy person, but he was ruthless. Now, seeing that the matter was exposed, she wanted to shirk the relationship and pushed it to Prince Chen.
Such a person is simply not worthy of staying in the palace! Ma Xiuying's tone is full of anger.
After hearing Queen Ma's words, Li knew that his evil spirit must be hidden from the queen. Since this is the case, the evil spirit he just now was useless.
What to do? What to do? Li thought, his hands were shaking constantly.
"If you go back to your parents' home and see your mother, and, moreover, your mother is controlled, you won't be able to see it? Besides, if you really see your mother, your mother will definitely tell you that she is controlled and you won't save her?" Empress Ma was even more angry when she saw that Li didn't speak, and immediately pointed it out.
"Empress, Empress, I know that I am wrong. It's all Lord Hu. It's Lord Hu. I want the concubine to say this. I was confused for a moment and obeyed Lord Hu's words. I am not good at all."
