Wishful Things

It's ridiculous!

Even more insidious!

"Your Majesty, this is slander!" Ji Xiu's hand holding the letter paper trembled due to excessive force, and said, "This is someone deliberately imitating my handwriting!"

As he said that, almost out of a momentary intuition, he suddenly raised his finger and pointed in one direction: "It's you, you copied my handwriting, it must be you!"

This person is very good at copying other people's handwriting, and he has done a few things for him before...

Everyone looked in the direction of his finger, and the young man in the blue official robe was sitting there, his expression slightly astonished, and then he sighed: "Dare to ask my lord, why do you want to do this?"

The officials exchanged glances with each other.

Who didn't know that Zhan Yunzhu belonged to Ji Xiu?

And if Ji Xiu falls, Zhan Yunzhu's situation will inevitably become more difficult - who will frame his biggest backer?

Ji Xiu was in a panic, and started to scramble and bite in order to excuse himself, right?

Aware of everyone's eyes and speculation, Ji Xiu looked at the young man's calm eyes, and belatedly thought of a key point——

In the mausoleum temple, when the emperor was asking Concubine Sun and King Xiang alone, Xia Tingzhen went in to ask for an audience, and Zhan Yunzhu quickly followed...

At that time, he only thought that Zhan Yunzhu dared to take the initiative to participate in this matter like Xia Tingzhen because of the recent respect of the emperor. He didn't want Xia Tingzhen to show off in front of the emperor alone. What did they conspire together in front of the imperial court!

Thinking of this possibility, Ji Xiu felt as if he was already on the edge of a cliff, and he would be pushed down the next moment, falling to pieces.

It's not that he didn't think that Zhan Yunzhu would betray him, nor was he defenseless...

But be careful, but never thought that this day would come so soon!

Even less than ten hours ago, the other party treated him with respect and respect, as if they knew everything!

This is indeed a poisonous snake!

"Bring the concubine here first, and confront Shangshu Ji." Emperor Qingming ordered Han Yan in a low tone.

Han Yan responded, and quickly brought Concubine Sun over.

After a whole day of "interrogation", Concubine Sun looked more and more embarrassed, her hair was in a disheveled bun, her white lips were chapped and bloodshot, and her eyes were also red.

"Concubine Tai, who is it that conspired with you to poison your mother?" Emperor Qingming asked himself, and when he mentioned the words "poisoning your mother", his tone was full of coldness.

Concubine Sun slowly raised her arm, pointing at Ji Xiu with a trembling finger: "It's Ji Shangshu... He was the one who provoked me in every possible way, and I did such a wrong thing in a moment of confusion..."

Ji Xiu felt like scolding his mother.

He has never been so wronged before!

"Toffee don't want to spout blood, when did I instigate you!"

Concubine Sun's pale mouth overflowed with a sarcastic smile, and her eyes were full of hatred: "Master Shang Shu is really scheming, not only using me to poison the Empress Dowager, but even paving the way out if this matter comes to light... The poison is clearly yours. I personally handed it to the maid beside me, and I only found out last night that the poison actually originated from Dianzhou! You have worked so hard, and the plan is nothing more than that once it is revealed, I will use my son King Xiang to take the blame for you!"

... Who the hell is taking the blame for whom!

Ji Xiu was so angry that his tongue was almost tied up, and he began to lose his scruples when he spoke: "Don't try to involve me in it just because you want to excuse King Xiang!"

"Your Majesty, I am absolutely not lying!"

Concubine Sun knocked her head heavily on the ground and said in a sobbing voice: "I was confused about this for a while, and was taken advantage of by others, and almost harmed the empress dowager... No matter what happened to me today, I deserve what I deserve! All these years, my wife Too narrow-minded, and now he has suffered the consequences and regretted it hard, and Fang Zhizhi realizes that he has made a complete mistake...so he really dare not, and can no longer hide the slightest bit!"

"..." Hearing this set of sincere rhetoric, Ji Xiu even felt his eyes go dark, and his palms were covered with sticky cold sweat.

The woman opened her mouth to speak nonsense, and he only felt angry and anxious, but he didn't know how to respond and explain it at all!

At this moment, he hated himself so much that he had been in the capital for so many years, why didn't he think about going to Yitong Academy to learn some skills and come back? !

After all, he is superficial. He thought that this lip service could only be used for quarrels. It was only at this moment that he realized that this thing can not only defend himself at a critical moment, but can even save his life-he only learned it for a year and a half. Zai, are you afraid that you won't be able to tell the other party from being speechless, but you can tell yourself clearly!

Ji Shangshu, who was extremely angry, could only shout that he was wronged and that he was slandered by others.

And such an excuse, even if you jump up and say it, is not convincing.

"The concubine claimed that the poison that poisoned the empress dowager was given by Ji Shangshu—then when was it given and where was it handed over to whom? Do you still remember?" Emperor Qingming asked with a very fair look , doesn't seem to trust anyone.

Concubine Sun replied without any hesitation: "It was the night before yesterday, around the end of Xushi...he gave the things to my maid Cuizhu in the north garden of the palace! When Cuizhu came back, it was just the hour of Haishi. I saw Hourglass!"

At the end of the night before yesterday?

Ji Xiu frowned and thought for a moment, then immediately said: "It's really nonsense. At that time, several adults and I were still discussing matters at His Majesty's residence!"

So many people can testify for him, the emperor knows it too!

"When did the Aiqing leave from me that night?" Emperor Qingming asked Li Ji.

Li Ji thought for a while, and said honestly: "Remember, I should have left in Xushizhong..."

Several other ministers also recalled and said: "When I returned to my residence...it was not yet the time of Xu..."

"It's true that I went back in Xu Shizhong..."

Before and after, there was a difference of half an hour.

Half an hour is enough to do a lot of things.

And if you really want to calculate it carefully, Ji Xiu left His Majesty, and then went to the North Garden to meet the maid next to Concubine Sun, it was about the end of the Xu Dynasty - the more I said it, the more people felt that the evidence was convincing...

Ji Xiu secretly gritted his teeth.

So... the so-called end of the Xu era that Concubine Sun said was not just casually, but premeditated!

"Your Majesty, after the minister resigned that night, he never went to the North Garden! That night, Zhan Yunzhu walked with the minister!"

——He has only one person who can prove it!

But this dog is not a human at all!

Almost without any surprise, the young man hesitated for a moment and then said: "The next day, I just said a few words with the lord outside the courtyard, and then we parted ways. Where did the lord go after that? The lower officials really don’t know about it, so...it’s really impossible to testify for your lord.”
