Behind the note, a few words were added, asking King Qi to investigate thoroughly, and then thoroughly investigate Shang Datian's case.

Lao Wu also sent someone to send a letter to Yuan Qingling, not tied to the flying pigeon, the flying pigeon can only tie a note to the leg, he wrote another letter, and ordered someone to send it to his daughter-in-law urgently for 800 miles.

That night, Yuan Qingling received a letter from Lao Wu, saying that he drank with Su Laobiao, and indeed invited the women in the workshop, but those women were just cooking wine on the side, and he didn't even want to listen to the song, so he didn't say that he was close to him.

As for the drunken moon, I tried to get close to him, tried to contact him, and was reprimanded by him angrily, if he didn't believe it, he could ask Lu Mang and Su Laobiao.

King Qi had already asked Su Laobiao, it was indeed as Yu Wenhao said, and after Yu Wenhao drank some wine that night, his temper came up, and he angrily reprimanded the drunken moon, the main reason was that he said not to serve closely, but the drunken moon stuck to it several times, and once deliberately spilled the wine on his chest, wanting to stick it on Yu Wenhao's body, and was pushed to the ground by Yu Wenhao, so the wine banquet that day was basically unpleasant.

After Yuan Qingling learned the facts, he asked Tang Yang to send someone to Hongzhou Mansion to inquire about Shang Datian, to see what the people thought of him, and then ask other officials in the counties under the jurisdiction of Hongzhou Mansion, ask Shang Datian about his achievements during his tenure, and then go to the Ministry of Officials to check, because the Ministry of Officials had an assessment of officials every year, and after the order, she called Na Zuiyue to come to the Mansion of King Chu, and she wanted to question.

Drunken Yue dressed up, came to the Chu Palace, and saw Yuan Qingling.

The moment she saw Yuan Qingling, her face was shocked, she thought that the woman who had given birth to several sons was pregnant, she must have a haggard face, and her face was swollen and looked old. But the crown princess didn't use fat powder, dressed in plain clothes, combed her hair in a simple bun, and wore a cloud-headed jasper hairpin, but she was so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes off it.

This kind of beauty, not in the skin, but in the bones, the skin is fair but ruddy, the bulging abdomen does not make her look bloated, but a little charming beauty, the lips are not dotted and slightly red, the eyebrows are not painted and elegant, the temperament is not the kind of noble lady peculiar, but a kind of indescribable confidence and elegant beauty.

She swallowed the sad taste, and still didn't come forward to salute, but just stood in front of Yuan Qingling.

Yuan Qingling looked at her and looked at her, she was really a beautiful and arrogant woman, but her lips were pursed, showing the unwillingness and sourness in her heart.

Yuan Qingling wanted to inquire about the truth, so she didn't embarrass her, and said gently: "Miss Qiu Die, please take a seat!" ”

A sentence of autumn butterfly girl, so that Zuiyue's face changed color slightly, she looked at Yuan Qingling, did not speak, but after a while, she still walked over and sat down, raised her sleeves, and put her hands together in front of her, as if she was still the original prefect's daughter.

His face also returned to coldness, and he still had a slight irony, "Thank you Crown Princess for sitting!" ”

"Hmm!" Yuan Qingling asked someone to serve tea.

Drunken Yue said lightly: "The crown princess doesn't have to pretend to show kindness, if you are angry, reprimand me, or even beat me, anyone can understand, women should be jealous, especially if I am a woman from such a place, it will naturally hinder the eyes of the crown princess." ”

Yuan Qingling looked at her, "Not really, if you really have anything to do with the crown prince, I won't see you." ”

Zuiyue sneered, "Don't you believe the crown princess?" The crown princess is too confident, no man will really concentrate on a woman, especially someone like the prince, but the prince and I are just playing on the spot, but if there is really such a clear and exquisite woman, it will make the prince like it, and it is not surprising, it is just a matter of time. ”

Yuan Qingling said: "You have a certain amount of truth, but even if there is such a problem between me and the prince, it is our business, and it has nothing to do with you, you don't have to have this heart, I called you here because I want to talk to you about your father." ”

Zuiyue was stunned for a moment, "I...... My father? ”

"Well, what kind of man is your father?" Yuan Qingling asked gently, the father in the eyes of his children is sometimes not necessarily objective, but there must be something worth referring to, such as the father's teaching to his children.

Drunken Yue's eyes slowly rose unwillingness and anger, "My father, he shouldn't be convicted, he is an honest and honest official, diligent in government and loves the people, he has never been opportunistic, let alone involved in the affairs of the eldest prince." ”

"How do you know if there isn't?" Yuan Qingling asked rhetorically.

"Of course he didn't!" Zuiyue was very excited, Huo Ran stood up, and said sadly: "He said that it is his greatest honor to be an official abroad, and he can not participate in the struggle for the heir in Beijing, he said that the eldest prince is mediocre and cruel, and he is not worthy of being the prince, how can he participate?" ”

"Your father was picked up by Yuwenjun, and he sent the eldest prince behind his back, do you think he did the right thing?" Yuan Qingling asked.

Zuiyue was excited and frightened, "There is nothing wrong with him, he said that the position of the crown prince is a major matter of the country, and to be a man and an official, there must be a distinction between right and wrong, and the eldest prince promoted him with grace, but he can't say with a clear conscience that the eldest prince is virtuous, he is innocent, he has been convicted and imprisoned, what else do you want to do to him?" Do you want to settle accounts after the fall? Going to kill him? ”

Yuan Qingling said: "The matter of the eldest prince at the beginning, he will not let him die, but you framed the prince for having an affair with you, ruining his reputation, once he asks for the crime, it is enough to implicate him, if he really wants to ask for beheading, it is you who are harmed!" ”

Drunken Yue's face was full of shock, her lips moved, but she still said stiffly: "I...... I'm not lying. ”

Yuan Qing Ling's eyes were cold, "Your clansmen, where is your family now, I know clearly, I will give you another chance, I want to listen to the truth, yes, or no?" ”

She took a deep breath, raised her chin slightly, stared straight at Yuan Qingling, took a breath, and said angrily: "You can't do this, what I do has nothing to do with my family, I do things alone, you can cut off my head, but you can't be angry with them." ”

Yuan Qingling looked at her and said: "I heard Princess Qi say that when she asked you, you also asked her to imprison you, and now you ask me to cut off your head, as for your affairs in the workshop, I also inquired, you have practiced piano, chess, calligraphy and painting for a long time, and you have been sick for a long time, and finally forced the mother of the teaching workshop to be angry, so she sent you to the workshop, but you have been proficient in qin, chess, calligraphy and painting since you were a child, and you are talented and intelligent, why do you need to practice for so long?" So you did everything possible to avoid receiving guests, and in the end you had to say to the head of the house that you had a night with the prince, and you were the prince's woman, so the steward of the house would not send you out to pick up guests, but you knew that you would eventually be recognized, so you asked Princess Qi to detain you and let me cut off your head, because you couldn't kill yourself, and once you committed suicide, you would implicate your family, right? ”

Yuan Qingling's words were like a hammer falling on Zuiyue's heart, her eyes were broken, the loneliness and arrogance on her face also collapsed little by little, and she cried sadly under the sorrow, knelt down, and cried: "Since the crown princess knows, please give me a good time, lest I implicate my relatives...... I'd rather die than do something like that. ”
