Chapter 261 Release
The eunuch chief pushed the emperor gently from behind.
He knew that he shouldn't have told the emperor those words.
Whenever he encountered something related to Xu Wan, no matter how old he was, the emperor couldn't control his impulse.
Especially when they just mentioned Xu Wan, the queen mother came, and the impulse was even more ready to burst out.
After being pushed by the eunuch chief, the emperor seemed to take a breath and forced a smile, "Mother, calm down, I know I was wrong."
The queen mother gave him a displeased look.
"It would be great if you really knew your mistake!
You would understand my painstaking efforts, and you wouldn't have fought with your uncle in the court."
The emperor smiled and said, "Mother, calm down. I have already investigated the truth of my uncle's poisoning."
The emperor had reported this matter before. The queen mother didn't say much, just snorted, "Don't say anything else, let Duan Kangbo go quickly."
The emperor raised his eyebrows, "When did mother let Duan Kangbo go to Rongyang Marquis's mansion to pick things? How come I didn't know."
Before, he was still a son, but now he is me.
The change in his words made the queen mother's face change slightly, but she didn't say anything, just said: "I asked him to go a few years ago. He said several times that there was nothing good at home. I thought that Rongyang Hou must have a lot of good things in his hands, and it would be useless if they were just lying around, so I asked him to pick them.
Who would have thought that the thing was a fake!
I said that the old playboy was really unreliable! But you got close to him."
At this moment, the queen mother seemed to be a mother who was really disappointed with her son.
However, what she asked for was not what a mother should ask her son to do.
"It's okay if my mother wants me to release Duan Kangbo, but I have to give an explanation to the court officials. This statement."
Looking at the queen mother's expression, the emperor said with a long tone: "I will just say it directly. It was my mother who asked him to take it?"
The queen mother was silent for a moment, "That's fine."
Then he urged: "The shadow is doing it, and there is no severity. You should give the order quickly, so that Duan Kangbo will suffer less."
The emperor turned to the eunuch chief and said: "Go quickly."
The eunuch chief took the order and turned to leave.
The queen mother breathed a sigh of relief and her tone was much softer. "You, you are so old, but you always act so impulsively. I heard that at the banquet today, that Zhou Qing embarrassed the queen in public?"
The emperor raised his eyelids.
"Your Majesty, are you talking about learning the rules? The Queen is making a fuss about nothing. Why are we making a fuss about the daughter-in-law of the Marquis of Guangping's mansion?
Besides, even if Zhou Qing is to learn the rules, the Queen could choose anyone else as a role model, but she chose Shen Mingzhu.
Shen Mingzhu, knowing that she and Zhou Qing have a feud, still showed up at that time.
It was just right for Zhou Qing to catch her red-handed.
This matter cannot be blamed on Zhou Qing. Shen Mingzhu herself has a bad moral character, and she is not allowed to ask a single question."
The Queen Mother sneered.
"I didn't ask a question, but you said so many things. I am really curious about what kind of person Zhou Qing is to win your favor."
The Emperor shook his head and said, "It's not Zhou Qing who is a person, it's Shen Mingzhu who is just bumping into the edge of the knife. If Shen Mingzhu is not unbearable, Zhou Qing can't be highlighted."
The Queen Mother looked at the Emperor dimly, was silent for a moment, and laughed.
"Forget it, forget it. I can't argue with you.
I know that you have always disliked the queen, but she gave birth to the prince and Minghe for you, and she is the mother of a country. You should not lack her dignity.
Otherwise, I will not agree."
"I know, mother, don't worry, please persuade the queen, don't worry about things that are not your own.
After all, Su Ke is still locked up in the shadows.
Ming'er really irritated Shen Li"
The emperor didn't finish his words, and the queen mother's eyes suddenly turned cold.
This is tacitly understood.
The emperor didn't continue, and the queen mother didn't answer.
Pinching the handkerchief in her hand, the queen mother stood up and said goodbye, "I won't bother you anymore, you go ahead."
As soon as the queen mother left, the emperor raised his hand and smashed the cup in his hand.
Of course he knew why the queen mother took the blame for Duan Kangbo.
After the death of the Duke of Zhenguo, the people of the Duke of Zhenguo's party were somewhat scattered.
Now Duan Kangbo is in trouble. If the Queen Mother does not take action in time, I am afraid that people's hearts will be completely scattered.
In order to unite people's hearts, the Queen Mother is willing to take the blame. By taking it, she can also establish a glorious image in front of her followers.
Oh, it's a good idea.
It depends on whether the torture device of Shadow is faster or the Queen Mother is faster.
The emperor has always been confident in Shen Li.
In fact, Shen Li did not disappoint the emperor's confidence.
When the eunuch chief arrived at Shadow with the oral order, Duan Kangbo was breathing less and breathing more.
In a daze, he didn't know what he confessed and what he didn't confess.
He had a high fever and was confused.
Shen Li released Duan Kangbo and asked the eunuch chief to bring a confession back to the palace.
When the eunuch chief went back, the emperor was still reviewing the memorials.
The brightly lit imperial study was extremely low in pressure because of the unfolding confession.
Duan Kangbo didn't know how the Rongyang Marquis's mansion was wiped out, but he knew how Rongyang Marquis died.
He heard from the Duke of Zhenguo that when Rongyang Marquis went to catch crickets, someone had sprinkled poison powder on the grass in advance.
When Rongyang Marquis bent over to catch crickets, he inhaled a large amount of poison powder and died of poisoning.
As for who sprinkled the poison powder, he didn't know. He heard all the inside stories from the Duke of Zhenguo.
And the Duke of Zhenguo is dead.
As for those porcelains, they were naturally stolen by Duan Kangbo who sneaked into the Rongyang Marquis's mansion.
Shen Li marked this confession as: credible.
Looking at the confession in front of him, the emperor was almost suffocated.
Going around the table and opening the window.
The cool spring night breeze blew in his face, and the emperor shuddered and took a long breath.
Rongyang Marquis can be said to be the only person in the world who is sincere, sincere, and kind to him regardless of gains and losses.
It happened that it was twenty years after Rongyang Marquis died that he knew that he did not die of heatstroke.
Is it too late?
Of course it is. If he could have known it earlier, perhaps Rongyang Marquis's mansion could have avoided being destroyed.
"I'm sorry for you!"
Looking up at the bright moon in the sky, the emperor muttered to himself.
"You are watching me from heaven. I will definitely avenge you and the whole family of Rongyang Marquis."
After a long pause, the emperor said in a low voice: "Do you know? Today I met a man, and that man is also called Zhou Huaishan.
That Zhou Huaishan said that you appeared in his dream and he wanted to get your things back for you.
Is it true?
Why did you appear in his dream but not in mine?
Or is it that your soul borrowed his body, and in fact, he is you."
After these words fell, there was a long silence.
Zhou Huaishan, who was being talked about by the emperor, was lying on the bed with his legs spread out, crying loudly.
"I won't go to school!"
