Tang Jinse quickly explained, "Shuai Tang, Marshal Tang, listen to my explanation! Even if the emperor always summons you to the palace late at night to talk by candlelight, and sometimes we even talk for an entire night, I have never suspected that you and the emperor are having an affair.
!”
"..." It's okay if I don't say it. When I say it, Tang Xiao's cheeks are so black that ink is dripping.
Seeing that Tang Xiao was about to have an attack, Tang Jinse immediately answered, and his voice became much darker, "Shuai Tang, you know this, right? I think Hua Rong, the Crown Prince, and the Queen, all those who have ideas about the throne, know it all too well.
Right? I must know this matter, do you want me to ask others? "
Okay, this looks more serious.
Frowning slightly, Tang Xiao stopped talking and turned his back to Tang Jinse. He glanced sideways at Tang Jinse before turning around. His eyes seemed to say, "Fortunately, you changed the topic quickly enough, otherwise... humph", he
His fingers tapped on the desk gently and regularly, thinking about something.
After a while, Tang Xiao frowned and said, "The fewer people should know about this matter, the better."
"..." Tang Jinse rolled her eyes. She didn't know who had made everything clear and asked her to help Hua Rong. Why didn't she tell her such an important thing?!
Tang Xiao stood in front of his desk with his back to Tang Jinse. He reached out and turned the pen, ink, paper and inkstone to face him. He picked up the pen and left ink marks on the rice paper. After writing, he handed it to Tang Jinse.
Taking the rice paper, Tang Jinse took in all the contents on the paper. His brows couldn't help but be nervous. He didn't expect that the actual situation was even worse.
I can't blame all the forces for making moves. Even the neighboring countries and Wu Guoyu have made some moves. They must have heard some rumors. It turns out... Emperor Hengqing's life is running out. At most, he only has two years.
If it's quick, maybe half a year.
Tang Jinse carefully recalled the major events that had occurred in Da Qi in recent years. It seemed that only a year ago, Emperor Hengqing, who had never missed the morning court since he came to power, did not miss the morning court for seven days. It seems that he fell ill at that time.
"Does the Emperor himself know about this?"
Tang Jinse was left with enough time to absorb the things about Emperor Hengqing, and then Tang Xiao took back the rice paper with the writing on it, "I don't know everything."
The oil lamp that was lit during the day seemed extremely weak, leaving only a faint shadow on the desk. Tang Xiao took the rice paper and placed it on the wick. Almost at the same time, the rice paper started to burn, and the flames burned at an extremely fast speed.
Devoured it.
In just the blink of an eye, the rice paper had been burned until only one corner was left white. At this moment, Tang Xiao let go of his hand and allowed the rice paper wrapped in flames to slowly fall, eventually turning into a pile of black ashes on the ground.
.
"No one told the emperor that he would die soon, but the emperor could vaguely guess it. He asked several times, but everyone hid something in order for him to have a good attitude and maybe a miracle would happen.
After several attempts, the emperor didn't smell anything, so he simply stopped asking." Tang Xiao paused, then added: "There is also the matter of childbirth, which he doesn't know about either."
Tang Jinse nodded, indicating that he understood that no matter what everyone's purpose was, this was undoubtedly the best choice for a patient who was sentenced to death.
You can't say to a generation of emperors that you are about to die. If you have good virtues, you can live for at most two years, and if you have bad virtues, you will die faster. These are not the only things. You have to add insult to injury and say, you are no longer a man before you die. You can't.
When you have a baby with those beauties in the harem, even the aerobic piston exercise is just a gymnastics exercise.
It is estimated that at that time, either Emperor Hengqing will be depressed and hasten his death, causing the Qi Dynasty to be turbulent and attract other countries to covet him, or Emperor Hengqing will let you explore the way to the west before he travels to the west, and have a good time.
wrong!
Tang Jinse suddenly thought, since even Tang Shuai knew about the emperor's infertility, how could the queen dare to be so blatant? Even if the queen intended to target her and the Hou Mansion, wouldn't it be too risky to leave such a clue? What's more?
The queen's opponents are Hua Rong and the prince. Are you risking your life?
She asked: "How many people know about the Emperor's infertility?"
Tang Xiao told the truth, "Prince Rong and the Crown Prince only knew that the Emperor's time was short, but as for the birth, only I, Li Xiang, the envoy of the Taiyuan Hospital, and you, the three of them knew about it." At the beginning, he and Li Xiang knew.
The purpose of negotiating such an outcome was to leave the last bit of dignity to Emperor Hengqing.
"Xiao Jin, you asked so many questions about the emperor today..." Tang Xiao suddenly turned to Tang Jinse with doubtful eyes.
"actually……"
Tang Jinse hesitated a little, but did not dare to stay too long, so as not to arouse Tang Xiao's suspicion, she decided to suppress the matter first, "Actually, what I want to say is that the queen summoned me to the palace. The queen...
The queen wants a child and asked me to help her."
Hearing this, Tang Xiao clenched his fists, "This woman wants to drag you into trouble even though she is disloyal to the Emperor." He repeatedly ordered Tang Jinse, "Xiao Jin, you don't need to pay attention to the Queen, you are the best at deceiving people.
, so that she can't find fault with you, if she does anything else, you can tell her father."
"Well, I have rejected her, but...Tang Shuai, it doesn't sound like you are praising me. What do you mean by being the best at deceiving people?" Tang Jinse disagreed.
Tang Xiao glanced at her, "I wasn't complimenting you in the first place."
"..."
Before Tang Jinse went out, he turned around and asked casually, "Ah, by the way. Tang Shuai, last month when did the eldest brother and King Rong enter the palace at night? I asked the eldest brother to send a message to Yuyao, and he actually said that Yuyao was the emperor.
I went to the national temple to pray for blessings and fasted for three days, but I haven’t returned to the palace yet. But I asked Yuyao later, and it seemed that the date didn’t match."
She gritted her teeth and looked eager for revenge, "Tell me quickly. If you know that eldest brother is perfunctory with me, see how I will settle the score with him!"
"Pig brain, how can you remember something that only lasted a month?" Tang Xiao said with infinite contempt.
"On the fourth day of last month."
His body suddenly froze. After hearing Tang Xiao's answer, Tang Jinse's face suddenly turned pale. Fortunately, Tang Xiao focused on calligraphy again and did not notice anything unusual about her.
Tang Jinse didn't even know how she walked back to Xia Yuan. The queen's words kept echoing in Bai Mang's mind.
——This situation started on the fourth day of last month...
The Queen was only about forty days pregnant, so it was impossible for her to have pregnancy symptoms at the very beginning. The reason why the Queen said this was just to insinuate Tang Jinse as to whose child this child was.
Tang Jinse stood in front of the window, looking at Zheng Ju opposite, her heart aching...
