Chapter 1139 Secretly Transfer Her to the Secret Room of the Hall of Mental Cultivation

One night three days later, fourth master was reviewing the memorial in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

He, who has always been energetic, looks a little tired, as if he has worked hard for a long time.

The handsome and masculine cheeks were set off like sculptures in the candlelight.

His brows were furrowed, a little preoccupied.

Even when he was reviewing the memorial, his thin lips were tightly pursed, not too relaxed.

But it is such a focused and serious appearance that makes people even more daunting after looking at it.

Su Peisheng stood aside and secretly took a look at Fourth Master.

He said in his heart that since the queen's empress was grounded, besides reviewing the memorials, the emperor also supervised the Punishment Department.

After several days in a row, I only slept for an hour every day.

If this goes on like this, I'm afraid that the iron-clad body will be exhausted.

But he persuaded him several times, but the emperor didn't listen.

Impatiently throwing booklets at him, he dared not persuade any more.

Those officials have said that the emperor is the one who governs the country, so how can he manage the affairs of the harem.

But the emperor said that the affairs of the former court and the harem will be weighed.

But this is clearly a life-threatening trade-off.

Alas, when the Empress Empress was here, the Empress was in charge of the harem.

The emperor only needs to manage the previous dynasty.

Now the emperor not only has to govern the country, but also has to deal with the mess in the harem.

Although Concubine Yugui was in charge of the harem temporarily, but people felt that the queen had harmed her, so they would not care about the queen's life or death.

I'm afraid I wish the queen would never come out of the Taimiao for the rest of her life.

Besides, the emperor can't rest assured to leave such things to others.

Moreover, in the past, as long as the queen persuaded him a little, the emperor would take care of himself.

Now that the empress is grounded, there is probably no one else in the entire Forbidden City who can persuade the emperor.

While Su Peisheng was pondering, Chen Biao came in.

Su Peisheng's eyes lit up, Chen Biao was in charge of Concubine Yu and the Empress recently.

I figured something must have been found.

Sure enough, after Chen Biao entered the room, he slapped a thousand sons in front of the fourth master's throne.

"Your Majesty, there is news from the Punishment Department."

"Say." Fourth Master, who was writing with his head down, finally raised his head.

"When Aunt Cui, Li Si'er, and Concubine Xi arrived at the Punishment Department, they all bit the empress, saying that they saw the empress's maid pushing Concubine Yu. They all said they saw it." Chen Biaohui reported.

As early as the Longevity Day, the emperor announced that he would re-interrogate the witnesses of that day.

It's just that these people are either rich or expensive.

It's not the old nanny who has served the queen mother for most of her life.

It is the concubine who raised the elder brother in the harem.

There are also the wives of officials in the DPRK and China.

Because of his special status, he cannot be tortured and interrogated again.

Otherwise, those foreign relatives and officials, as well as the queen mother, would not follow.

In addition to this incident, there were many people present at the time.

If torture is used, it will be invincible.

At that time, even if the empress is innocent, it will appear that the confession was made because of torture.

If you really want to restore the empress's innocence, you can't do anything foolish, you can only outsmart her.

Therefore, after they brought Aunt Cui, Li Si'er, and Concubine Xi to the Punishment Department, they only questioned them again based on loopholes.

Who knew that each of these people was very cunning.

And when answering questions, the logic is very strong, and it is impossible for people to start.

But it was not just the three of them, there were other guests that day, and they also said that they saw the queen's personal maid pushing Concubine Yugui.

In this way, it is true that Qiaofeng pushed Concubine Yugui.

Then, the authenticity of their three words is not so important.

"In that case, let them go." Fourth Master said flatly.

Things have developed to this point, and these three people can only be released temporarily.

Because their confessions don't matter anymore.

Moreover, the queen mother, the court, and the court also urged her several times.

The most urgent thing now is to sort things out.

As for the rest, wait until the Queen comes out.

"Yes." After Chen Biao responded, he said again: "By the way, Your Majesty, no matter how much that Qiaofeng interrogates, she won't tell the truth. Besides, someone seems to want her life."

Hearing this, fourth master's eyes suddenly tightened.

"How to say?"

"Tonight, a lot of arsenic was tested in Qiaofeng's food. If you hadn't specially instructed that Qiaofeng's food should be tested for poison, I'm afraid Qiaofeng would have died long ago."

Generally, the food for prisoners is very random, and there are spoiled ones.

Therefore, it is easy to kill a prisoner.

But the people behind the scenes probably didn't expect that the emperor had expected that they wanted to kill people to silence them.

I saw the fourth master twirling the Buddha beads, and after being silent for a while, he said: "The order goes on. From today onwards, I will move to Yuanmingyuan to escape the summer. If the officials have anything to do, they will go to Yuanmingyuan to report. As for the maid, you And secretly transfer her to the secret room of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, remember, no matter what method you use, you must let her tell the truth."

Hearing this, a look of shock flashed in Chen Biao's eyes.

He is the emperor's personal bodyguard, so he naturally knew that shortly after the emperor ascended the throne, a secret room was secretly established in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Although he had never been inside, he knew that the secret room was full of traps.

As far as he knew, from the current point of view, except for the emperor who went in there, he could come out alive and well.

The rest of the people, regardless of whether they were officials or servants, once they got in, they never came out again.

Of course, after the emperor ascended the throne, he cracked down heavily on corruption.

Therefore, most of the people who died inside were corrupt officials who broke the law.

And this secret room, except for the emperor's permission, no one can enter.

Thinking of this, he asked cautiously: "What does the emperor mean... as long as Qiaofeng confesses, he can take her life?"

"No." The fourth master said indifferently, "She is the queen's servant. It is useful to keep her. After the queen comes out, hand her over to the queen."

Su Peisheng twitched the corner of his mouth.

He said in his heart that the emperor is keeping the maid, waiting for the empress to vent her anger in person.

"Yes, the servant understands." After Chen Biao agreed, he went out.

After Chen Biao vented his anger, the fourth master ordered the servants again: "Su Peisheng, let Madam Xie go to Yongshou Palace to take care of the fifth elder brother. Just say that when I am not in the Forbidden City, I have to ask her to take care of a few elder brothers."

He is still very polite to this nanny who has the grace of nurturing.

"Hey." Su Peisheng responded.

But he always felt that the emperor's going to the Old Summer Palace was not as simple as escaping the summer heat.

After all, since the emperor ascended the throne, he has spent every summer in the Forbidden City.

But it's only May and the weather isn't that hot yet.

If you want to avoid the summer heat, you have to wait until June at least.

Therefore, it is still rare to go to escape the summer heat in advance like this.

But this time, he couldn't guess what the emperor was thinking.

That night, fourth master went to Yuanmingyuan overnight.

He still lives in Wanfang Anhe.

In addition to reviewing some important memorials every day, he copied scriptures in his room.
