Chapter 269
Emperor Zhou snorted, his face remained calm, and after a while, he said: "So, does Zhou Aiqing want to collect some evidence and re-examine the case?"
"There are too many doubts in this case!" Zhou Yun said hurriedly.
"Okay, I'm as you wish!" Emperor Zhou snorted coldly, "I'll leave the Chen family's case to you with full authority. The Ministry of Justice assists in the investigation. I'll give you ten days. If you can't find anything, don't blame me for handling it together."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yun hurriedly kowtowed and said, "I received the order." He was shocked and complained. If he could not receive actual valid evidence of reversing the case for the Chen family in ten days, he would be afraid that he, the Minister of Revenue, might not be able to be preserved as the Minister of Revenue.
However, it is definitely not easy to collect evidence of Luo's reversal of the Chen family. The case was handled by Shao She. Will he leave any evidence for himself to investigate now?
"Okay, let's not talk about the Chen family's case. The Chen family has become pregnant now. Isn't this ridiculous? Or is it the descendant of my Ji royal family?" Emperor Zhou asked coldly again.
"I'm asking Your Majesty, this is just a moment of confusion in Your Highness!" Zhou Yun said again.
"Isn't this Chen family in Bishui Pavilion? " Emperor Zhou asked again. It was really inappropriate to discuss such matters in the Grand Palace of Supreme Harmony, and all the ministers couldn't help but whisper.
Zheng Wen, the Minister of Rites, hurriedly walked forward a few steps and bowed and said, "Report to Your Majesty, I heard that when Chen was a young lady in the early years, his reputation was not very good. Later, he became Fengchen and even saw him off in the morning and evening. This child is probably not the second prince. Besides, according to the laws and regulations of the Great Zhou Kingdom, any woman who was demoted to a slave would not be pregnant..."
"Hmph!" Emperor Zhou snorted coldly, "Come to the two female officials in the palace to test the Chen family. Retreat the court!"
When the court officials heard this, they were busy kneeling on the ground. Emperor Zhou turned around, looked at Shao Shuhuan, and whispered: "Shuhuan. I am very angry today."
"Shuhuan knows!" Shao Shuhuan whispered.
Emperor Zhou nodded and turned around and walked out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony. The court officials then stood up and began to retreat outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony in groups of three or three. Shao Shuhuan stood up and sighed. He opened the curtain and walked out.
"Master Shao, what's this matter?" Bao Keshun left the Hall of Supreme Harmony without saying anything in the Hall of Supreme Harmony and caught up with Shao She and asked.
"Silly!" Shao She didn't even raise his head and said directly.
"Mr. Shao, the official, don't understand. Can you give me some advice?" Bao Keshun asked with a smile.
"I said to Lord Bao. Are you idle and have nothing to do?" Shao She asked with a smile. "If you are idle and have nothing to do, I am idle and have been idle recently. If I remember correctly, you seem to be owing me a drink of wine, right? Or go to Bishuiting?"
"Mr. Shao!" Bao Keshun smiled bitterly, "When is it now? Are you still in the mood to joke? The Chen family's case was too reckless. Now that the person from the Zhou family is going to investigate, aren't you worried that he will find out what he can do?"
"You said the Chinese New Year is coming, what's the Ministry of Revenue busy with?" Shao She shook his head and said loudly on purpose, "He likes to check, just check it. I don't have time to make trouble with him. If you have that time, it's better to drink and listen to music."
Zhou Yun walked in front of him. Hearing this, he secretly complained that he was full and had nothing to do, but now he just waited for the situation, what other way he could do. He just hoped that the Narcissus could make a sigh of relief and cover up His Majesty. In this way, Shao Ting used lynching to force confessions, resulting in the Narcissus miscarriage. Even if the charge of the prince's insurrection was confirmed, Shao She was busy dealing with it, he would probably be exposed.
"Second Your Highness!" Shao Shuhuan hurriedly walked out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony and looked at the second prince standing on the stone steps in a daze. Of course, he could hear clearly what Shao She said just now.
"Is there anything wrong?" The second prince turned around and saw that it was Shao Shuhuan. He asked coldly. He had always disliked Shao Shuhuan, and now he disliked even more.
Shao Shuhuan smiled: "Your Majesty asked the Second Highness to go to Jingyang Palace."
"When the father summoned him, there will naturally be someone coming to announce the edict, and you don't need to pass on the message!" The second prince snorted.
"Haha, do whatever you want to go or not!" Shao Shuhuan said, quickly rushing forward, shouting, "Sir, Father..."
Shao She had no choice but to stop and turned around and asked, "Everyone who was walking nearby couldn't help but stop, stretched his neck and listened with his ears. Shao Shuhuan smiled like a prank and said, "My father, I'll go back to have lunch at noon!"
When Shao She heard this, he felt funny, but on the surface he said seriously: "Just say this, just send someone out and say it, why bother to come here by yourself?"
"That's all." Shao Shuhuan smiled, "I have something to do, so I'll say goodbye!" As he said that, he bowed seriously and hurriedly walked towards Jingyang Palace.
"This child..." Shao She deliberately shook her head and smiled, carrying her hands on her back, and slowly walked down the stone steps of the Supreme Hall.
Although the second prince was stubborn, he still had to go to Jingyang Palace----
In the main hall of Jingyang Palace, Emperor Zhou leaned on the soft cage and leaned against the smoke cage. Seeing the second prince walking in, he snorted and asked, "No, it's a promising!"
The second prince dared not speak, just looked at him.
"Kneel down and talk!" Emperor Zhou said, pointing to the kneeling board placed on the ground, and thought to himself, "This thing works very hard."
The second prince was stunned. He thought that at most he was scolded by Emperor Zhou, but unexpectedly, Emperor Zhou came so suddenly.
"Why, can you be deaf?" asked Emperor Zhou.
The second prince was startled and was busy kneeling on the kneeling board. A severe pain came from his knees, and cold sweat suddenly emerged.
"Yun'er, tell me, how should I punish you?" asked Emperor Zhou.
The second prince lowered his head and said nothing, but he didn't agree. Didn't he just go to Bishui Pavilion to find Daffodils? He was already in love with Daffodils, but at that time, Chen was still an official lady, so he naturally couldn't do it. Later, the Chen family was confiscated and Chen became a traitor. Under the instigation of Zhou Jinhong, he often went to Bishui Pavilion to have a secret meeting with Chen.
After Emperor Zhou found out, he actually warned him several times and ordered him not to go to Bishui Pavilion. But whenever the second prince thought of the beautiful and beautiful Narcissus, he was reluctant to let go, and he couldn't bear it. However, he never thought that he would cause trouble in the end.
"That woman is really pregnant?" Emperor Zhou asked faintly.
"Yes...yes..." the second prince replied with a thorn in the air. In fact, he didn't know whether the Narcissus was pregnant. Moreover, even if the Narcissus was pregnant, it still remains to be discussed whether the child was his...
But in this situation, no matter how stupid he is, he understands that the only way is to recognize the Narcissus child desperately.
"You have lost all my royal face!" Emperor Zhou suddenly stood up and pointed at his nose and cursed.
"Father, son minister... son minister..." The second prince wanted to distinguish a few words, but he didn't know where to start. Shao Ting was tortured and forced confession, but he was really too much to do such things outside and a brothel woman.
"There are so many girls in the palace, and you can't find any good ones. You are actually going to go to the brothel and even creating such a evil seed?" Emperor Zhou said angrily.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness Huan is asking for a meeting!" Zhang Derong shouted at the top of his voice.
"Let him come in quickly!" said Emperor Zhou.
"Yes!" Zhang Derong agreed. Outside, Shao Shuhuan had already strode in.
"What did you say?" asked Emperor Zhou.
"The two female officials have come back---" Shao Shuhuan said, unable to help but look at the second prince, shook his head and said, "Second Your Highness, even if you want to commit a crime to the Shao family, you don't have to use such a trick, right?"
"What's wrong?" asked Emperor Zhou.
"Narcissus is not pregnant at all. When it comes to miscarriage, it is completely false. The two female officials are outside. Anyway, there are still some things, and I don't know much. In order to worry that the two female officials will not be able to distinguish them accurately, I specially invited the first Doctor Cheng, the Imperial Hospital, to come over." Shao Shuhuan said this, shook his head and sighed again.
"Well, where are they?" asked Emperor Zhou.
"Just outside, did Your Majesty summon him?" Shao Shuhuan asked with a smile.
"Xuan and the others come in!" Emperor Zhou said with a calm face.
"Yes!" Zhang Derong agreed, busy proclaiming the two female officials and Cheng Chen to come in together. All three of them knelt down to pay tribute to Emperor Zhou. Emperor Zhou asked, "Will Chen be pregnant?"
Cheng Chen smiled and said, "Your Majesty, please ask the two adults to say this first. After all, they know better than me."
"Report to Your Majesty!" The two female officials were about forty years old and had an ordinary appearance. They kowtowed after hearing this, "The emperor's grandson is extraordinary, so I carefully examined Chen, but found that Chen was not pregnant at all. Moreover, Chen had taken saffron earlier, so it was impossible for her to be pregnant. If you say that miscarriage is purely false."
"I have also taken the pulse of Chen, but I am not pregnant. Moreover, because Lord Zhou accused the Deputy Commander of the Inner Guard, Master Shao Ting, of lying and forcing confessions in the prison, I have just checked Chen with the two adults. Chen had no scars on his body, but I am afraid there would be no lying and forcing confessions." Cheng Chen kowtowed upwards and said.
"Where is Chen first?" asked Emperor Zhou.
"Report to your Majesty, I have brought her back to the palace and are now locked in the cold palace!" The two female officials looked at each other, and one of them kowtowed.
Emperor Zhou nodded and said nothing. Seeing this, the two female officials and Cheng Chen hurriedly kowtowed again, and then carefully got up and retreated.
"Yun'er, have you heard it clearly?" Emperor Zhou snorted and asked with a cold face.
"I heard it!" The cold sweat on the second prince's head was already falling. Narcissus was not pregnant, and the miscarriage did not exist, and there was no private confession. I was afraid that Zhou Yun's false accusation had been confirmed. At the same time, the matter of being inseparable from him and Narcissus was also suddenly revealed.
