Hearing this, the Empress's face darkened.
Hongyuan Emperor was puzzled, "What jewelry, Ding Chun, what do you mean?"
Hearing the Emperor's question, Ding Chun was so scared that he quickly knelt down and said in a trembling voice: "Emperor, please calm down. Chang Momo often gave this subordinate her jewelry and asked this subordinate to help her sell it. After selling it, this subordinate will give her money. This subordinate just felt that she was pitiful and needed money, so this subordinate helped her. This subordinate knows his mistake and will not dare to do it again! "
Imperial Tutor Han said: "Emperor, there have always been guards secretly helping the imperial concubines and palace maids to sell their goods. So, this Ding Chun only told Chang Momo about selling jewelry. He didn't use fake news to trick Chang Momo out of the palace. It can be seen that Chang Momo is using him to lie! "
Hongyuan Emperor was so angry that his face turned ashen. He angrily said: "Bold Ding Chun, you dare to help the palace maid sell her things. As a guard of the palace gate, you actually know the law and break it. Someone, drag him out and beat him 20 times as a warning to others! "
"Ah, I beg the Emperor to spare my life. This subordinate knows his mistake, really knows his mistake." Ding Chun quickly begged for mercy.
Unfortunately, the imperial guards didn't say much to him and directly dragged him out.
When Chu Xuanchen saw this scene, he tightly clenched his fists.
Fortunately, it was only 20 times. He would only suffer some superficial injuries and would not be life-threatening.
After Ding Chun was dragged out, Chang Momo's lips trembled: "How could this be? Ding Chun clearly told this servant that this servant's mother was sick, so this servant hurriedly left the palace. "
Chu Xuanchen coldly said: "Chang Momo, now that things have reached this point, you have nothing to say, right? Your Majesty, Chang Momo is just a palace maid. She has no enmity with this official, so how could she dare to spread these rumors? There must be someone behind her who instigated her. "
As he spoke, his cold eyes swept towards the Empress, as if he could see through her.
The Empress was so scared that her face turned white, and she hurriedly said: "The Emperor of Li, what do you mean? You suspect that this empress instigated Chang Momo to spread rumors? How is this possible? "
"Why not? You hate His Majesty for putting The Emperor of Jin in prison. You hate this subject for placing righteousness before family and finding evidence of The Emperor of Jin colluding with foreign enemies. You want to use this matter to sow discord between His Majesty and this subject. You want to make His Majesty and this subject suspect each other. This way, you and The Emperor of Jin can sit back and reap the benefits! Otherwise, why would Chang Mama be the one who spread the rumors and not someone else? "Chu Xuanchen said angrily.
"No, I didn't do that at all. You're framing me!" the Empress said angrily.
Chu Xuanchen sneered and said, "This is the testimony of the common people. Chen does not have the ability to predict the future. How could I know that Chang mama would leave the palace yesterday and that they would testify against her? Moreover, why would Auntie Bing be silenced for no reason? Could it be that she knew some secret, so they couldn't wait to kill her? "
At this time, the Assistant Minister of Justice, Tian Zhang, who was standing to the side, suddenly said: "Your Majesty, this subject suddenly remembered something. Three days ago, when this subject and my family went to Bright Moon Restaurant to eat, this subject seemed to have seen Chang Momo and Aunt Bing meeting there. "
"You said that the two of them met at Bright Moon Restaurant?" Hongyuan Emperor pretended not to know and narrowed his eyes sharply.
Tian Zhang thought for a moment and nodded firmly, "It should be so. At that time, this subject first saw a woman wearing a cloak and a blue veil over her face walk in. At that time, this subject felt that this woman was a bit strange. She was wearing a veil for no reason, as if she couldn't be seen. This subject took another look at her. When this subject heard the refugees talking about her attire, this subject remembered. This attire was exactly the same as what this subject saw that day. Isn't this Chang Momo? "
