Most of the day has passed. If Jiang Yi resorted to any means, it would not be difficult to find out the results!

Jiang Yi looked at him with a dark expression and said nothing.

The emperor coughed.

Chu Jingxian knew that his father was warning him not to behave inappropriately in front of the palace, so he saluted the emperor and said: "Father, please summon me, has Commander Jiang found out the truth of the matter? Who wants to harm my mother and concubine?"

"

The emperor did not answer, but said in a pleasant voice: "Are you frightened by what happened today?"

Chu Jingxian's eyes were slightly red and he said: "Father, my mother and concubine have always treated my son and me as my own, and my son also respects and loves my mother and concubine. Now that my concubine has suffered such an unreasonable disaster because of my son, I wish I could bear it!"

The emperor glanced at him and said, "In that case, do you still dare to bring food from outside the palace into the palace in the future?"

Chu Jingxian lowered his head: "I don't dare anymore!"

He had eaten delicious food before, and if he thought it was good, he would bring a portion to Concubine De. Nothing happened, but this time, there was a big mess.

"What you brought into the palace must be something you think is good! You said it was cooked by your friend, so it wasn't bought from a snack shop in an outside restaurant?"

Chu Jingxian whispered: "Yes!"

"Who is that friend of yours?"

Chu Jingxian raised his head, not quite understanding why the emperor asked this question.

The emperor said calmly: "Is it that girl from the Pei family?"

Chu Jingxian was startled again, Pei family?

The emperor's voice seemed to come from a dark place: "You were called to the house by the maid of the girl from the Pei family when you were in the house. You stayed for half an hour and then brought the food box into the palace. Am I right?"

Chu Jingxian opened his eyes wide. His father sent someone to check him?

Why did the father want to investigate him?

Before he could understand, the emperor's majestic voice sounded: "Jiang Yi, Mu Qingyu, the granddaughter of the Pei family, murdered the imperial concubine under the pretense of eating. He should be punished for his crime! Take someone to arrest him and deliver him to Jing Zhaoyin. Call him Ji

Strict investigation in the domain!”

Chu Jingxian exclaimed in shock: "Father!"

No, he has already made it clear that there is no problem when food is brought into the palace. The problem is the palace maid who hides poison in her teeth.

But now the father has avoided all the details and directly pinned the matter on Mu Qingyu's head.

Why?

Jiang Yi said: "Yes!"

Chu Jingxian said anxiously: "Father, I am very sure that Mu Qingyu did not inflict the poison. When I brought him into the palace, the food he ate was not poisonous! He was tampered with in his mother's palace!"

The emperor glanced at him lightly and said, "Old Qi, are you questioning my decision?"

Chu Jingxian's eyes were about to burst. He never expected that what he was used to doing today would not only poison his mother and concubine and almost kill her, but also drag Mu Qingyu into the water.

He felt extremely regretful, and he was even more frightened by what was happening in front of him.

He suddenly looked at Jiang Yi.

Jiang Yi made eye contact with him, but quickly avoided his gaze and strode out of the hall, preparing to arrest the person.

Chu Jingxian knelt down suddenly and said: "Father, think twice, Mu Qingyu is an innocent person, she should not bear responsibility for this matter! She has never done anything, and she has done nothing wrong! Father cannot take it.

She asks for guilt. If the father wants to arrest her, why not arrest the son?"

Grain

"Insolent!" the emperor shouted: "Mu Qingyu is innocent?"

He sneered: "She made the food with her own hands, and you brought it to the palace with your own hands. It wasn't her who poisoned Concubine De, could it be you?"

Chu Jingxian suddenly understood under the emperor's cold eyes!

Someone must take responsibility for the poisoning of Concubine De. If the palace maid with poison in her teeth is found, there must be someone behind the scenes.

Commander Jiang has found out who is behind the scenes?

So he reported it to his father as soon as possible.

But the father didn't want to punish that person, so he wanted to find someone to be his scapegoat. The food cook Mu Qingyu became his best candidate. Even if she was completely innocent, even if she didn't know anything about it.

But this does not prevent the father from using her to calm things down.

After all, she is just a civilian girl.

After her death, Mu Mingyuan had severed ties with her.

Prince Liang has abandoned her, and she is no longer Princess Liang.

And the Pei Mansion, the only maternal family that loves her, can't even inherit the title, so what kind of help and protection can it provide her?

So Mu Qingyu, who had no power and no one to protect her, should die.

Why is this happening?

Chu Jingxian suddenly raised his head and said, "Father, who is the real culprit behind this?"

The emperor said coldly: "I have already said that Mu Qingyu, the granddaughter of the Pei family, murdered the imperial concubine under the pretense of eating, and she should be punished for her crime!"

"But my father knows in his heart that the truth of the matter is not like this!"

"presumptuous!"

"The real person behind the scenes, my father doesn't want to touch him! Is it the eldest brother, the fourth brother, or the fifth brother? Or, is it the queen or Concubine Ning?"

"Presumptuous!" The emperor was furious: "Chu Jingxian, who gave you the courage to be so presumptuous in front of me? Moreover, you dare to speculate on your imperial brother and your mother and queen with such malice?"

The emperor's eyes were filled with murderous intent, but Chu Jingxian straightened up stubbornly. He knelt down and said: "My father knew that Mu Qingyu was innocent, but he wanted to use her to settle the matter. I just made a few guesses, and my father felt that

Is it unbearable? But what my father wants is the life of an innocent person! My father is the lord of Dongxia, and all the people of Dongxia are your people. How can you be so kind to one and not to the other?"

The emperor shouted: "Do you dare to believe my words?"

Chu Jingxian argued hard: "Father, I don't understand the court situation, I don't understand the balance, and I don't understand the weighing of pros and cons! All I know is that the real culprit cannot go free, and innocent people cannot be unjust!"

The emperor said sternly: "How can the real murderer go free, and how can the innocent person be wronged? You don't understand the court situation, you don't understand balance, you don't understand the balance of pros and cons, just shut up!"

Chu Jingxian raised his eyes and said: "Father, the blood of innocent people cannot erase the grievances suffered by the mother and concubine; even Tian's innocent soul cannot cover up the true facts!"

The emperor laughed in anger, but the murderous aura in his eyes became even stronger. He said in a deep voice: "I say, Mu Qingyu murdered the imperial concubine!"

The look in Chu Jingxian's eyes when he looked at the emperor was the look of a superior looking down at the world. It was the look of others who were just ants and could fiddle with their fate. It was also the look of someone who forced him to surrender.

He knows that he can't change anything.

He faced the murderous look in the emperor's eyes and said numbly: "Father is wrong. Mu Qingyu did not murder his mother and concubine. It was his son-in-law who poisoned his mother-in-law! It has nothing to do with anyone else!"

The emperor's eyes narrowed and he shouted: "Chu Jingxian, do you know what you are talking about?"

Chu Jingxian's eyes were withered, and his voice was silent and empty, as if he had lost his soul: "I know that under the guise of giving food to my mother and concubine, I mixed poisonous food into it. When the matter was revealed, I tried my best to remove myself from suspicion.
