Qing Dynasty: Pampering The Queen

"Since that's the case, what's wrong with handing over this matter to the Thirteenth Lord and Prince Li? The emperor trusts the Thirteenth Lord so much. Could it be that the Empress Dowager doesn't believe it?"

Concubine De: ""

Concubine De certainly didn't believe it, but she couldn't say it.

It is not appropriate to speak out.

The Thirteenth Lord did not give her another chance to make trouble unreasonably, and immediately bowed his hands slightly: "Madam Taifei, since I know about this matter, I must take care of it. If there is any offense, after the emperor returns to Beijing, I will take care of you." I have to go to the emperor to plead guilty."

"Exactly. The Thirteenth Master must investigate carefully. How did the horse die suddenly? Did someone poison it? First it was mad, and then it was death without proof! Go up, otherwise it's hard to say what catastrophe it will cause! This matter will never be found out, and I will never give up."

The Thirteenth Master bowed his body: "Please rest assured, Imperial Concubine."

The Thirteenth Master said, "offended", and ordered people to come in and take Zhang Ci away.

Zhang Ci was shocked, struggling and shouting, "Brother San, help me!".

"This matter has nothing to do with slaves!"

"Master asked, and you were there at the time, so naturally you have to go through this." Thirteenth Master glanced at him and said calmly.

The third elder brother was in a hurry: "Uncle Thirteen, I am used to Zhang Ci serving by my side, can Uncle Thirteen leave him for me? If Uncle Thirteen wants to ask him anything, just ask here. Uncle Thirteen, please."

Concubine Qi saw that the third elder brother was anxiously touching the wound and frowning, but her heart ached so much that she hurriedly begged: "Master Thirteen, the third elder brother really cannot live without Zhang Ci. The servants around him are not as good as him to serve the third elder brother." Brother is used to it, knowing the habits of the third elder brother, the Thirteenth Master will feel sorry for the third elder brother, let the third elder brother keep him!"

The Thirteenth Master shook his head, "This person has to be taken away before we can ask questions. There is nothing to be asked here. Don't worry, Third Elder Brother, it's just a one-time walk away, at most one or two days, and he will naturally be sent away." return."

"But--"

Concubine Qi shed tears, wiped her tears and said angrily: "The Thirteenth Master is really stern and selfless! Poor our mother and son who are so soft-spoken, we are not as good as others, and even less worthy of the emperor's favor, who cares what our mother and son say? "

Thirteenth Master frowned, feeling a little disgusted in his heart.

These words accuse Sang and scold Huai too much.

Forget it, he has a clear conscience, and there is really no need to explain it to her.

Even if you explain it yourself, people may not believe it.

The Thirteenth Lord couldn't help saying, ordered someone to take Zhang Ci down, and then he handed over to Prince Li, ready to leave, and then went to interrogation.

If it was just startling the horse, then forget it, but the horse died, there must be something wrong, and it is impossible to close the case without a thorough investigation.

This happened in the palace, so it's actually very easy to check. Check the relevant people, check the entry and exit records of the palace, don't believe you can't find any clues.

As long as there are clues and suspects, torture can be used.

Go down a few times, no matter how hard your mouth is, you won't be able to pry it open

Concubine De was furious, she still couldn't trust Master Thirteen and Prince Li, so she ordered Aunt Qiu to take an eunuch with her.

It doesn't matter to Thirteenth Master, he acquiesced.

Follow it and follow it, and there is nothing wrong with letting them see it carefully with their own eyes.

After the Thirteenth Master and Prince Li left, Mu Jin also got up: "Third Elder Brother, rest well. If there are not enough people to serve you, just say hello to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I will go back first."
