Chapter 185: You are alone

He Chang'an was busy with political affairs and went to the Criminal Ministry when he received the news.
As soon as Wan Shi was detained and someone was about to be tortured, he was stopped by He Changan and Lu Sanbian and taken to the interrogation room.
"How could it be like this?" Frowning his brows, He Changan looked at her and said: "Because of an inexplicable wooden sign?"
He took a breath and saw that there were only two people here, and Wan Shi finally cried out with red eyes: "I didn't engrave the brand. There is nothing wrong with it. The queen mother just saw me not pleasing to my eyes."
He Changan was taken aback: "The queen mother is always kind, why can't you get along with you? Before, she liked the prime minister Hua."
"I like my son because my son helps the emperor, but she hates me since I became the wife of the Hua family." Wan choked up: "You don't know, you don't know anything."
Lu San raised his eyebrows: "As far as the official knows, before entering the palace, the queen mother was allowed to be selected by someone, but she was sent to the draft forcibly. Isn't the person who was allowed to be the flower family?"
Wan Shi gave him a shocked look: "I didn't say anything, how did you know?"
"To be a minister of criminal justice, this ability is still necessary." Lu Sanbian looked at her seriously and said: "According to your words, the queen mother has a private grudge with you, so this time it will be so harsh and send you here. The Criminal Ministry, I want you to confess to curse Wu Guiren before tomorrow, right?"
Wan nodded.
"When the queen mother speaks, people in the criminal department will definitely listen. Even if the official is Shangshu, they can't stop them from torturing you, otherwise the queen mother will be held accountable, and the entire criminal department will suffer." Lu San changed: "Now we are the only one. What you can do is to find evidence against the Queen Mother before you are tortured to prove that the brand was not carved by you."
"You can ask their so-called eyewitnesses to see when they said I went to carve, and then you can ask the domestic slave where I live to see if the time can match. If not, the domestic slave is My witness." Wan Shi calmed down, his mind was still very clear.
He Changan nodded, and ordered a clean cell to be packed with thick cotton wool: "You should rest first, and we will leave the rest to us."
"In case..." Wan's gritted his teeth: "If I can't handle it, Master Hou will help me take care of her."
"I know." He Changan looked down: "No matter you are or not, I will take care of her well."
This "she" didn't know who was talking about, and Lu Sanbian didn't think he had heard it, but Hou Ye was kind to him, so he would still try to help.
Huachun woke up and felt a little cold, but seeing that it was getting late, she immediately got up and went to greet the Queen Mother.
Wu Guibi was temporarily relieved, but his stomach was still aching before the dangerous period, and the signs of miscarriage never subsided.
Exhausted, the imperial doctor came out and said to the queen mother: "I can only obey the fate."
The queen mother was so angry that she did not speak in a muffled voice. When Huachun entered, a group of concubines nearby all looked over.
"The Concubine De concubine must be more careful." Xu Guibi said in a weird manner: "Wu Guibi has suffered a crime, but your belly is safe in this palace."
Concubine Shu lightly scolded her: "How do you say it? Wugui and Jiji people have their own nature, and they will be safe for mother and child."
"The concubines visit the Queen Mother." Ignoring their words, Huachun came up to salute first.
The queen mother waved her hand without saying a word, motioning for her to sit next to her.
"Did other things happen before Wu Guibi became like this?" the queen mother asked, looking at the kneeling court lady.
The little palace lady shivered and shook her head and said: "No, the empress has been in the side hall well, but she didn't sleep well at night, and said she had a nightmare, so she looked for the root cause and found Empress Defei."
Taking a look at Huachun, the Queen Mother shook her head: "The master has already said that it has nothing to do with the paper bird."
"It has nothing to do with the paper bird, but maybe... it's related to something else?" the court lady whispered.
The queen mother frowned: "They are all physically capable people. Concubine Dee should be able to understand Wu Gui concubine's feelings and compare her heart to heart. How could she harm her? Besides, the family of Ai has always been in this Huiming Hall. Very clear."
The court lady knelt and stopped talking, and Concubine Shu said softly: "Seeing that the emperor is coming back soon, I can't use these things to add trouble to him. The concubine thinks that he should quickly find a way to cure Wu Guizhen and he should be punished. People, please deal with it before the emperor returns."
Huachun glanced at her: "According to the distance, the emperor should arrive at Yanjing in two or three days. In these two or three days, he will decide a life, don't you think it's too rash?"
"Look, my concubine knows that Concubine De concubine is going to speak for Wan clan." Hua Xunyue said: "The concubine was not sure before, but now it is confirmed, Concubine De concubine, are you the biological daughter of Wan clan? "
The people present were all taken aback, and the Queen Mother stared at Hua Xunyue in astonishment: "Why did this come from?"
Hua Xunyue stood up and knelt, and said solemnly: "Previously, the concubine thought Defei Empress was very familiar, and the queen mother should also be familiar. Her appearance is exactly the same as that of Prime Minister Hua, and may even have the same birthmark on her body."
"It turns out that there are so many people in the world, it is inevitable that there are similarities. But what is even more coincidental is that the concubine went out of the palace this time and found that Wan Shi also lived in Gongyuhou Mansion. When she went to the mansion and wanted to see her, Empress De concubine did everything possible. Obstructing. It stands to reason that there is no blood relationship. How could the concubine De concubine care about a civilian woman? But the queen mother also saw it. From yesterday to today, concubine De concubine has been speaking for Wan, which makes her concubine have to doubt. Concubine, is the prime minister of Hua."
The Queen Mother was shocked and looked at Huachun in disbelief.
After taking a gentle breath, Huachun felt that Hua Jinghua might owe the sisters of the Hua family in her previous life, and she was stabbed by her own person when she was fine. This was so sour and she couldn't believe it.
"What the Empress Hua said is very interesting." She smiled: "The prime minister Hua is a man, and the palace is a woman. How can he be alone?"
"This is to say that Wan's methods are clever." Hua Wei said: "Prince Xi had looked for the nanny before, to prove that the concubine De concubine was a daughter, but was interrupted by the pregnant Qing clan. Now I want to come, Qing clan It was not necessarily the child of Prime Minister Hua that he was pregnant. When the Prime Minister was born in Huafu, he was suspicious. Almost no one, including his father, had ever seen his gender. It was all covered by Wan and the nurse."
"The nanny is still there. If the queen mother doesn't believe it, you can ask to see if the prime minister is a man or a woman."
The people around began to talk, Huachun didn't panic or rushed, staring at the scrutinizing eyes from everywhere, calmly said: "The prime minister Hua has been beheaded, and the concubine entered the palace before he was beheaded. Is it the same person? The emperor knows better than anyone else. Queen Mother, do you think you believe in the emperor, or do you believe in this concubine who would rather put her family on the charge of deceiving the emperor and frame her concubines?"
The queen mother hesitated and doubted, after all, Huachun and Hua Jinghua are exactly the same, except for their different temperaments.
But occasionally, she would really see Hua Jinghua's shadow on Huachun, and she suddenly felt that she was a person.
Once she made a wish, saying that if Prime Minister Hua were a woman, she would be able to stabilize the harem and assist the emperor. Unexpectedly, one day, a woman exactly like Prime Minister Hua appeared, but Prime Minister Hua died.
Is there really nothing strange here?
Seeing the eyes of the Queen Mother, Hua Chun felt a little flustered, but her expression remained calm. She was not Hua Jinghua for self-hypnosis. She lied to herself before convincing others.
The question is, why did Hua Xunyue find out about this?
"Although the Ai family feels that Concubine De and Prime Minister Hua are very similar, but based on what you said and the unreliable nanny, the Ai family does not think it can be finalized." The queen mother said: "Besides, Concubine De is still pregnant with the emperor heir. ."
Someone next to him whispered: "Whether it is the emperor's heir is not certain."
Huachun gritted his teeth.
"The court concubine has a good way to do multiple things in one fell swoop." Concubine Shu said, looking at Huachun and said: "If the empress is not Hua Jinghua, she should not care about Wan's life and death. After all, there is no blood relationship. Right?"
"Then let the Ministry of Criminal Justice send Wan Shi to torture. On the one hand, you can ask her to confess to the wooden sign quickly, and on the other hand, you can see the reaction of Concubine De concubine. suffer."
With a foul language in her heart, Huachun raised her head to look at Concubine Shu, chuckled and sang: "I will remember your face firmly."
Because it was the tune of modern songs, everyone didn't realize what she was talking about for a while, only saw her smiling face, very calm.
The queen mother nodded: "Concubine Shu is a good idea, and in order for Wu Gui's concubine to keep the emperor's heir, let the Criminal Department take the people to the courtyard of Huiming Hall."
For real? Hua Chun squeezed her hand and prayed in her heart that He Changan could come to stop it, but He Changan and Lu San had no time to enter the palace because they led people to find evidence.
So Wan Shi was dragged up, still using a stick to punish him.
"It's okay." Wan Shi smiled and lay down on the wooden stool: "I'm stubborn, it's nothing."
"Is you sick?" Xu Guibi curled his lips: "I have never seen such a calm and confident person before being tortured."
Huachun's throat hurt a little, and her face became paler.
She is confident about this, she is obviously worried that she is too worried, so she said to comfort her. Where is Wan's bones? Healed from a serious illness, and there are old illnesses, in case something happens...
With her hands tightly squeezed, Hua Chun was desperately anxious, but she didn't know what to do. A group of people stared at her. If she stepped forward to save her, it would mean that two people suffered together. If they did not step forward, she would stand alone. To suffer from the heart here.
"Ready, execution!"
