Chapter 601 Just Seek Peace of Mind (1)
The plot to frame the imperial concubine has finally come to an end. Although the details of the matter have not been made public, one can already tell what happened just by looking at the few edicts issued by Emperor Jing.
Among the three houses involved, the Jinyang Hou Mansion was the initiator of the incident. He framed the imperial concubine and despised the royal family. For the following offenses, Jinyang Hou's wife was sentenced to death, Jinyang Hou was deprived of his title, and some of the slaves who gave false testimony were beheaded in serious cases. The accomplice was sent to the border gate for hard labor. Mrs. Chengyang Bo violated the rules and was punished by copying the female precepts a hundred times, and her body was stripped of her imperial edict. The mother made a mistake and the virtuous concubine made an oversight. She was deprived of her title of virtuous concubine and demoted to a concubine. Mrs. Xiao, the Duke of Jingguo, behaved badly and committed the following crimes. She should have been sentenced to death as a warning to others. In memory of her husband's meritorious service to the country, Xiao Bao was not strict with his wife and made serious mistakes. Therefore, he was removed from all official positions and went home to think about his faults behind closed doors.
Since then, everything has finally come to an end.
Of course, there were inevitably curious people who wanted to find out more from relevant people, but those who knew about it were all tight-lipped, including the three people who were punished, and they showed no intention to refute the edict issued by Emperor Jing.
Now everyone understood that Concubine Yuan Gui was really innocent and was framed!
There were one or two people who wanted to take the opportunity to talk things out, but they were all verbally reprimanded by the minister of Dali Temple, the Minister of Punishment, and the censor of Zuodu.
The case was handled by the three of them, and they considered themselves fair in handling the case, so they did not allow outsiders to comment. As he continued talking, someone with good intentions took the opportunity to stir up trouble again and caused a big fuss. Didn't that mean that the three of them were afraid of the emperor's power and protected the noble concubine.
Of course, later, the circumstances of the investigation that day were also circulated, and many people knew the whole story, including the fact that in the end, Mrs. Tian still insisted on clinging to the concubine, and was slapped in the face by an old woman among the servants in the family for telling the truth, including Mr. Xiao. The madam's counterattack was broken, and the case was later settled in court.
Should! No wonder the Marquis of Jinyang was punished so severely, and Mrs. Xiao also caused her husband to lose his job. It turned out that it was all her fault! People familiar with the matter discussed this.
But this is beside the point.
Dawn Palace
Chun Cao was facing Xiao Hua, Ding Xiang and Ding Lan, telling them how she denounced Mrs. Jin Yang Hou in class for being extremely shameless and confusing right and wrong.
"...Mother, you don't know how ugly Na Tian's face became when she saw Granny Wang, as if her father was dead... Granny Wang's last question confused the adults in the hall. Said, and almost made the slave laugh. Fortunately, the slave was alone behind the screen, and no one saw the slave covering her mouth and laughing..."
Ding Xiang said with a smile on her face: "Okay, okay, you have been saying the same thing for a few days. If you don't mind it, our queen will be annoyed too."
Chun Cao blinked, a little aggrieved, "Mother, are you bothered?"
Xiaohua couldn't stop laughing, "No, no. Okay, go and see if the second prince wakes up. When he wakes up, let the wet nurse bring him over."
After Chun Cao left, the three people in the room looked at each other and smiled.
Ding Lan said: "This spring grass is getting more and more verbose. Why didn't I see that she has the ability of 'mother-in-law's mouth' earlier?"
Ding Lan's expression was extremely funny, which made Xiao Hua laugh again. She laughed twice and cleared her throat, "Be careful not to let Chun Cao hear it, I will talk about you every day."
Ding Xiang laughed twice and said: "At first, I was worried that she would get stage fright. Fortunately, this girl is not bad and can withstand the scene. By the way, my queen, what should I do with Granny Wang?"
Xiaohua pondered for a moment, "It's impossible to take her into the palace now. Let's find a Zhuangzi to settle her first. Tell her that it's not easy for me to leave the palace now. If I have a chance, I'll go see her and let her take good care of her. Just treat her as if I'm taking care of her in her old age." Okay. Let Zhao Da handle this matter in a more secretive manner."
"yes."
The Jinyang Marquis Mansion is now in ruins. The Marquis has been deprived of his title. The Marquis Mansion can no longer be lived in, so he has to choose another place to live.
