Chapter 590 Framing the Imperial Concubine (2)
Everyone in the Jinyang Hou family was imprisoned by Dali Temple on the charge of framing the imperial concubine.
In addition to being surprised, some people are also secretly preparing to report the matter tomorrow. After all, it is just a rumor. Before the truth of the matter is found out, it cannot be worth a prince's mansion.
Of course, Emperor Jing could make this decision on his own initiative, but this was the act of a coward. He became a coward as soon as he took the throne. In the future, someone would inevitably stir up trouble secretly. But don't forget, there are many people secretly watching and wanting to take advantage of the chaos to cause trouble.
Unexpectedly, in the court hall the next day, Emperor Jing issued an edict, ordering the three divisions of the Dali Temple Metropolitan Procuratorate of the Ministry of Punishments to jointly examine the case and clear the imperial concubine's innocence.
This move caused an uproar among the ministers and nobles. If this kind of matter is reviewed by the three departments, it will not be completed until it is investigated to the end.
There is no way to explain things like rumors clearly, and they usually become darker and darker. When most people encounter this incident, they either ignore it and let it dissipate, or spread other rumors to cover it up. Very few people use such drastic measures to make the matter worse.
No one expected that Emperor Jing would make such a decision. Could it be that Emperor Jing was completely angry? Or are you sure that someone is setting you up?
For a moment, everyone was speechless, and many people could not sit still.
Neither Chengyang House nor Concubine Qiao Xian expected that things would happen so unexpectedly. Their plan was that Concubine Yuan Gui would be killed and Emperor Jing would suffer a loss. No matter how angry he is, he will not touch anyone for the time being, otherwise it will be true. He would only settle things afterward, and Concubine Yuan Gui would be finished by then. He would not make it too obvious out of face, and would just find any excuse to clean up the Jinyang Marquis Mansion.
Of course, the Jinyang Marquis Mansion alone would not have such great energy, so it would be concluded that the Duke of Jingguo was behind this, and it had nothing to do with their Chengyang Bo Mansion.
Now that the Jinyang Marquis Mansion is being taken into custody, will the Tian family keep it secret and help them hide it? Even a fool knows it's impossible, not to mention the three-division trial. Even if Tian wanted to hide it, he couldn't.
The people in the Jinyang Hou Mansion who were detained were jointly guarded by people from the Dali Temple Criminal Department and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and no one was allowed to visit them. This left those who were secretly trying to do anything but nothing. They could only watch helplessly as the first trial in three days was about to come.
On this day, the imperial concubine summoned Concubine Qiao Xian to Chenxi Palace to talk.
Xiaohua didn't say anything else, she just smiled and chatted with Concubine Qiao Xian, as if the troubles outside had nothing to do with her.
On the contrary, Concubine Qiao Xian seemed a little restless, and the smile on her face was a little forced.
"Sister Xian Fei, didn't you sleep well? You're all green now. We women can't compare with men, especially the older ones. If you don't sleep well every day, you will be a few years older. After all, you are no longer young. ." Xiaohua touched her tender face, her eyebrows drooped, and sighed that beauty ages easily.
"Your Majesty is still young, so she doesn't have this kind of trouble."
"That's true." Xiaohua's eyes flickered and she glanced at Concubine Qiao Xian, "But sister Xianfei can't be like this. After all, she's getting older, so she should be more careful in the future."
"Thank you for your concern." Concubine Qiao Xian had been a little absent-minded. She didn't seem to hear Xiaohua's sarcasm. "I still have some unfinished matters in the palace, so I won't accompany you. I will go ahead."
Seeing Concubine Qiao Xian leave in a hurry, Xiaohua curled her lips and said, "Dingxiang, how many more days do you think Concubine Xian will have trouble sleeping?"
Ding Xiang said with a smile: "It will take at least two days, at least until the day after tomorrow when the three divisions will meet. Maybe she won't sleep well in the future, who will make her restless."
