Chapter 1172: Prince Li’s Extra: Concubine Dong Appears
"What happened between me and the Empress Dowager, you knew it was the Empress Dowager's fault, but now you have to blame it on Concubine Dong Gui. It's really ridiculous."
Murong Zheng looked at everything in front of him with cold eyes. Deep down in his heart, he was filled with rage and his determination to keep Concubine Dong Gui became more determined.
"The Emperor wants to put the responsibility on the Empress Dowager, but do you have any evidence?" Seeing that the Emperor was still stubborn at this time, Chen Jingting felt a little unhappy in his heart, so he spoke without any scruples.
"Then you can't convict Concubine Dong Gui with just a hairpin." Murong Zheng said decisively, his words contained more than inherent paranoia, but also anger.
"Leaving this hairpin at the scene is always suspicious. Why don't the emperor ask the imperial concubine to come and ask? If the imperial concubine is wronged, I will not watch the imperial concubine being wronged in vain.
"
Mr. Xu Ge said it lightly, but everyone knew that if Concubine Dong Guifei came out, let alone the arson incident, which had nothing to do with her, even if it had nothing to do with it, she could not get rid of it. So this proposal was actually forcing the emperor to Convict Concubine Dong.
"Concubine Dong Gui..." Although Murong Zheng likes Concubine Dong Gui, he also knows her temperament. He has done a lot of good things for her in these years. Naturally, he knew that Concubine Dong Gui should not be allowed to come out. But before he could think of the reason, he heard someone outside the palace. The sound of wailing.
That voice was charming and full of grievances. Except for Qu Jingze and several Bei'an envoys, everyone in the civil and military dynasties was familiar with it.
The emperor's concubine Dong Guifei came to the court crying not once or twice.
If it were the late emperor, or the emperors Taizu and Taizong, any concubine who dared to behave like this would have completely fallen out of favor without losing her life. Only Concubine Dong Guifei, every time the emperor lost face, the emperor still loved her endlessly.
"Concubine Dong Gui must be feeling unwell again. Please hurry up and send her back to the palace." Murong Zheng frowned and ordered the guards around him.
"Your Majesty, Emperor Zhou, after hearing Concubine Dong Gui cry loudly like bells, I think she still has the physical strength to answer a few questions from her subordinates. Our two princesses from Bei'an almost died in the fire. Due to emotion and reason, Concubine Dong Gui's physical condition allowed. In this case, it’s always okay to ask a few questions, right?”
Qu Jingze has long understood the meaning of the civil and military affairs of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Now that Dong Guifei is in front of him, he will naturally not let go of such a good opportunity.
"Concubine Dong Gui..." Regarding Qu Jingze's proposal, or threat, Murong Zheng rejected it from the bottom of his heart. He intuitively believed that Concubine Dong Gui could not be allowed to appear in the court.
But Concubine Dong Gui obviously didn't understand his intentions and protection. Before he finished speaking, she had already broken through the obstruction of the imperial army and rushed into the hall. Regardless of the presence of the officials, she quickly rushed towards Murong Zheng.
"Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for me. You can't let the people of Bei'an slander me like this. Your Majesty, you know best who I am. How can I let someone set a fire? When it comes to killing people, I'm so scared that I can't sleep for several days. No sleep."
Concubine Dong Guifei threw herself into Murong Zheng's arms, and regardless of Murong Zheng's stiffness, she just said what she wanted to say in her heart.
But her words only moved the king who was trapped in her love network. No one in the court believed her.
Who doesn't know that Concubine Dong Guifei is jealous, and she rubs off every pretty woman in the harem.
Who doesn't know that Concubine Dong Guifei attacked the princes several times for the sake of her son? However, the princes were protected by people left by the Queen Mother and survived.
A person who is vicious at heart keeps saying that he is a little white rabbit. Who would believe him?
"The foreign minister believes that Concubine Dong is really scared when she hears about killing people. However, this hairpin was found in the fire, so the person who set the fire may have something to do with the empress."
Qu Jingze looked at the different expressions on the faces of the monarchs and ministers in the Great Zhou Dynasty. He was a little confused, but he couldn't help but raise the evidence above his head.
"It must be the thief who set the fire and stole my things, that's for sure." Concubine Dong Guifei looked at the hairpin and explained in annoyance, her voice determined.
But as soon as she finished speaking, Qu Jingze looked at Murong Zheng and said loudly: "It turns out that the arsonist came from the palace."
