Chapter 708 Open Confrontation
"These letters were all written by someone who used the articles I wrote on a daily basis, picked out the words they wanted, cut them out one by one, and then pasted them together to form a new letter."
"That's why the handwriting here is exactly the same as mine."
After Master Su finished speaking, Emperor Jingyang's face turned dark.
He asked coldly: "Master Su, do you know what the consequences of deceiving the emperor are?"
He had never heard of such statements and actions. In his opinion, Master Su was treating him as a fool.
Luo Jingshen also sneered beside him: "Grandfather, if you can't find any evidence, just say you can't find any evidence. Why do you have to come up with such a weird reason to lie to my father?"
"If you cut the article you wrote from above and then pasted it, I'm sure anyone with eyes can see the traces of pasting."
"Why couldn't we find it among so many of us? Are you the only one who found it?"
Ji Nanchuan also echoed: "Your Highness is right, this statement is ridiculous."
"In my life, I have heard of people imitating others' handwriting, but I have never heard of people cutting off other people's handwriting and pasting it back on."
"Master Su, if you can't find a reason, just admit it. Do you think that all of us here are three-year-old children?"
After Ji Nanchuan finished speaking, a burst of laughter broke out in the court.
"How dare you! This is the court, not a place for you to quarrel."
Emperor Jingyang shouted angrily, and all the ministers fell silent instantly.
Luo Jingshen stepped forward and said, "Father, my grandfather is old after all, you should not argue with him."
In short, Tutor Su was too anxious, so he started talking nonsense.
At this moment, Luo Jingshen didn't know that this letter was pasted.
He thought that this was something that King Nan Xiao found a calligraphy master who was good at imitating fonts and imitated the handwriting of Master Su.
After all, that's what Concubine Li said when she met him.
When Master Su heard what Luo Jingshen said, he was disappointed in him to the core.
It turned out that this was the grandson that he had doted on for more than 20 years.
For his own benefit, he actually took his relatives as the first target.
Master Su's easy-going face was now filled with anger.
He said, "Your Highness, I am old, but not stupid."
"Whether this subordinate is lying or not, we can find out by taking something and testing it."
Just as Su Taifu opened his mouth to ask the emperor to send someone to fetch a basin of clean water, a voice sounded behind him.
"Don't bother, father. I've already asked someone to bring the water."
The one who came was none other than the queen.
The queen even asked someone to bring some cooking oil.
She stood in the center of the hall, looked at Emperor Jingyang, and said in a cold tone: "The emperor said that he would give my father one day to find evidence to prove his innocence. He should not go back on his words, right?"
Emperor Jingyang looked at the queen, frowned, and said, "Queen, why are you coming here instead of staying in the harem?"
He thought that the queen knew what he hated most.
What he hated most was the concubines in the harem who came to the court to interfere in politics and cause trouble.
This would make him, as the emperor, lose face.
The queen sneered in her heart, but said calmly: "Why did I come here? Doesn't the emperor know?"
"My father was falsely accused of treason and collaborating with the enemy. Such a big thing has happened. As the head of the harem, don't I have the right to intervene?"
After she finished speaking, she looked at Luo Jingshen with mocking eyes, her tone full of sarcasm.
"Besides, this matter was reported to the Emperor by my son himself."
"One is my biological father, and the other is my biological son. We are both brothers, so I should find out the reason for this matter."
Luo Jingshen felt a pang of pain in his heart when he saw the queen's cold eyes.
Having been by the Queen's side for so many years, it is impossible to say that there is no affection between mother and son.
Before he knew that Concubine Li was his biological mother, Luo Jingshen always regarded the Queen as his biological mother.
He was used to the other person's tolerance and pampering of him.
She was also used to enjoying the benefits and status that the status of queen brought her.
Luo Jingshen knew clearly that without the queen, he was nothing.
Everything he has now was given to him by the Queen and the Su family.
Emperor Jingyang only made him the crown prince because he was the queen's son.
But after all these years, this was the first time that Luo Jingshen saw the queen looking so cold.
He said, "Mother, I know you will be angry if I do this, but I am also thinking about the country of Dongchen."
"As the crown prince of Dongchen, how can I watch my own grandfather go astray and walk down the wrong path?"
"If I don't stand up, then others will definitely not stand up. I must set an example, right?"
What he was thinking was that since he was now facing the queen, he should position himself on the side of justice, and barely salvage a bit of his filial image so as not to make the mother-son relationship too ugly.
In the past, the queen might have trusted him and listened to his high-sounding explanations.
But now, she didn't believe a word of Luo Jingshen's words.
It was because the queen saw with her own eyes the whole process of Ji Yuntang putting the letter into the water and the font falling off.
She knew that all Luo Jingshen's words were false.
But she didn't expect that even at this time, Luo Jingshen was still so stubborn.
The queen's eyes dimmed slightly, with a hint of self-mockery in them.
Look, this is the son she raised with her own hands, this is the son she is most proud of.
How ridiculous and ironic, he swung the knife at his own people.
Although the queen had made sufficient mental preparations before coming to the court.
She thought she could face Luo Jingshen calmly and ask him the reason.
But the pain in the heart area still continued.
The queen barely endured it, clenched her fists in her sleeves, and calmed herself down before speaking:
"Your Highness, there is no need to tell me these high-sounding principles. You know best what you are thinking."
"Whether these letters are true or false, we will know it by checking them in front of the emperor and all the civil and military officials."
When Luo Jingshen heard this, his heart skipped a beat.
For some reason, he felt uneasy when he saw that the queen was confident.
Luo Jingshen began to doubt, could it be that Concubine Li lied to him about this matter?
These letters were not given to her by King Nan Xiao at all?
If so, why didn't she tell herself the truth?
