: Layers aside (1)

First it was the Queen Mother, and now it is the Queen and the Fourth Concubine. The harem was in turmoil for a while. What on earth is going on?

Is it possible that we need to find out what happened to Concubine Yu today?

After such a long time, even the duller ones have received the news at this time, and they all know that the criminal department is conducting a public trial.

"I pay my respects to Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty!"

The empress and several other concubines were summoned. Seeing the battle in front of them, even those who had seen big scenes could not help but be frightened.

The Queen Mother actually sat where she was being interrogated. Even though she was sitting, they could tell at a glance that something was wrong.

What frightened them the most was Aunt Jin who fell to the ground beside her. She looked like...dead.

They each looked at their sons, hoping to get some information from them, but they didn't dare to convey anything in this scene.

"Everyone, get up. I've called you here. I think you probably know what's going on, so I won't say more. I'll just answer whatever you ask. I hope that the matter of the Jade Concubine has nothing to do with you, otherwise..."

Emperor Xuan's voice made the Queen's heart tremble.

"Let the trial begin!"

After Emperor Xuan finished speaking to the queen and others, he stopped talking.

Once the trial started, the scene was silent.

Who dares to speak at this juncture? The one being judged is the Queen Mother!

I thought that the three chief judges were hesitant as before and couldn't come up with any explanation. However, they didn't expect that a sudden shock shocked everyone.

The Dali Temple judge, Kun Renli, one of the three chief judges, who had never spoken much before, took pictures of the jail and spoke.

"The Empress Dowager, I am a humble minister, and I have been ordered to bring a public trial. Please forgive me for any offence!" Kun Renli stood up and bowed his hands to the Queen Mother. After speaking, he looked at the Queen and others and began to ask, "The Empress Dowager, as stated in the Jade Concubine's surviving family, the harm is caused to the Queen Mother.

She is the fake old lady of the Jin family and the Empress Dowager. The two of them cooperated internally and externally, and made careful arrangements. The Empress was already the head of the central palace and was in charge of the harem. When the Jade Concubine entered the palace, all matters of the Jade Embroidery Palace were taken care of.

, but it was all arranged by the Queen alone? Please tell the Queen the truth."

Li Xinyuan and Liu Xingchen who were sitting next to them were dumbfounded. They secretly swallowed their saliva and looked at Kun Renli. Is this serious?

The queen had been confused since she was asked this question, and she was a little panicked. It took her a while to adjust her emotions. What happened more than ten years ago, she really needed to sort out her thoughts. The main reason was that she hadn't been asked like this in many years, and she felt a little uncomfortable.

.

"Return to...Master Kun..."

As soon as these words came out, the queen and everyone present felt extremely awkward.

"When Concubine Jade entered the palace, the Queen Mother was unwell. I was indeed responsible for the related matters. However, I was afraid that something would be wrong and that one of me would make an oversight, so I asked them to help together. Afterwards, I reported to my mother one by one.

…”

The Queen was still unclear about what was going on at the moment, so she could only answer truthfully. Concubine Jade's affairs could not be affected by anything other than the manipulation of a few people in the harem. She did not want to get caught up in it. Judging from the current situation, it was most likely the Queen Mother.

It surprised me that…

This clearly shows that the Holy One wants to break up with the Queen Mother. Unexpectedly, the Holy One would go so far for the sake of Concubine Jade.

After all, the Queen still failed to see through the true nature, otherwise she would not have been deceived by the Queen Mother's theory all these years.

"Your Majesty, the three presiding judges, I was indeed ordered to assist Concubine Jade in entering the palace..." As soon as the Queen finished speaking, Concubine Duan hurriedly clarified.

Concubine Xian and Concubine Li also spoke one after another. At that time, the queen asked them to take charge of some things. At that time, except Concubine Xian, the others were not in the position of concubine.

Kun Renli listened carefully one by one, "So, the things that the empresses were responsible for at that time were all checked by the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother reported them to the Queen Mother one by one. In the end, it was the Queen Mother who made the final decision, right?"

"...Yes!" This is a real trial!

At this moment, the ladies finally came to their senses. This was not just a joke, it was serious, so they had to think twice about every word they said.

"The Queen Mother, is this so?" Kun Renli looked at the Queen Mother again.

"Yes!" Queen Mother Wen replied with a stern face. Because of Aunt Jin's matter, if she shames the presiding judge again at this moment, what will so many people think when they watch?

She is somewhat passive now.

"The Queen Mother, you just said that the Queen Mother was not feeling well at that time. Did the Queen Mother take care of herself one by one?"

The queen thought for a moment and shook her head, "The queen was feeling unwell and lacked energy at the time. She only asked briefly and then asked Grandma Jin to look at her carefully."

"I dare to ask the Empress, did Aunt Jin ask any questions or make any adjustments at that time? I have already seen the list of maids in Yuxiu Palace, and I also asked the Empress and the Mother to see if there are any discrepancies."

More than ten years have passed. How could the empress remember the names of the maids? Moreover, at that time, she only knew how many people were assigned to Yuxiu Palace, but she did not know the specific details of the maids.

"This..." The queen looked at the roster that was handed over and could only turn to greet her personal maids. They were responsible for the selection of personnel at that time, "Master Kun, I remember that Grandma Jin was very thorough and meticulous in her work at that time.

The Queen Mother ordered me to assist me. At that time, Aunt Jin looked at all the names and asked where they came from. She was an old man in the palace and knew it better than the people around me. I remember that there were indeed some slight adjustments at that time. It seemed that

Some of the maids from the Huanyi Bureau are not suitable..."

The queen didn't dare to neglect and thought about it carefully, but she only remembered roughly. After all, she wouldn't remember things like adjusting a few maids so clearly.

"Empress, who was the maid beside you who was responsible for discussing with Grandma Jin at that time?"

Kun Renli suddenly asked, and the queen was dumbfounded. She immediately trembled, knowing the seriousness of the matter. She turned slightly pale and shook her head, "It's Qingzhi, Qingzhi... is no longer here, died of a cold.

"

"When did you die?"

"Shortly after Concubine Jade entered the palace..."

The death of a palace maid opened the case in an instant. Of course, the reason it could be unfolded so smoothly was because Emperor Xuan had prepared it in advance.

"Emperor Xuan has made full preparations for today's public trial. It seems that I have underestimated him. I am afraid that the Queen Mother is also a love rival. Today's ending is really confusing."

Seeing this, Dongli couldn't be sure of today's outcome.

It turns out that this Kun Renli is Emperor Xuan's sharp weapon. On this occasion, a person with suitable status needs to come out to interrogate! And he must dare to interrogate.

If she guessed correctly, this Kun Renli must have always been a person who looked unjust and out of reach of his closest officials.

As the interrogation deepened, Aunt Jin was dismissed layer by layer. In a blink of an eye, it was confirmed that the queen's personal maid did not die from the cold, but a deliberate murder. Then those few who were transferred to Yuxiu

The maids of the palace were also identified one by one. These people were all deceased in the records of Yuxiu Palace.

Moreover, they were all implicated after Concubine Jade's accident.

At this point, Grandma Jin has a big problem.

"Empress Dowager, Aunt Jin is the head of Kunhe Palace and your right-hand man. Although she is gone now, things still need to be investigated clearly. Look, she has a lot to do with the case of Concubine Yu.

Back then, the maid who discovered that Concubine Jade was practicing witchcraft was not sent by her, but..."
