Yun Miaomiao looked at the people below. It was this group of people who caused the Yun family to be exiled and Yun's father and mother to die in Jiangning.
Yun Su's face was equally serious. He was no longer the kid who knew nothing.
"The Queen Mother, I am unjustly accused. I don't know anything." The maid next to the imperial concubine jumped out and defended herself.
The imperial concubine's temples twitched, "Queen Mother, this Xue'er has always been very well-behaved and obedient. Is there a good ginseng in my concubine's palace? I asked her to go back and get it so that you, the Queen Mother, can replenish your body."
Unexpectedly, I caused trouble. I beg the Queen Mother, for the sake of you, the Queen Mother, please let Xue'er go."
Before the Queen Mother spoke, the Emperor also begged for mercy, "Queen Mother..."
"Emperor, it is natural for the Aijia to do this for their own reasons. The Aijia will not wrong any good person, nor let any bad person go." The Queen Mother did not appreciate it.
Things had reached this stage, and he couldn't stop it even if he tried to stop it. He could only turn around and coax the imperial concubine.
At the other end, a guard suddenly stood up and said, "The Queen Mother, I have evidence to prove that there was someone else who poisoned the Queen Mother. However, my family members were all under the control of the other party at that time, and I was not allowed to do so.
If you don't do what they say, my subordinates have been unable to sleep at night over the years, and they have always been worried about it. This is the money that the other party rewarded me, and I have always kept it on my body and dare not throw it away."
As he said that, everyone watched him take out a purse from his arms, which contained a Shark Bead from the East China Sea. Before the Queen Mother could speak, others one after another took out the same Shark Bead.
"The Queen Mother clearly knows that I had no choice but to do it back then."
"Slave too~"
If you have one, you will get two. These East China Sea shark beads were given to the imperial concubine by the emperor. There are twelve in total. They are all purple East China Sea shark beads. This is the only one in the world. They are more precious than the ones Yun Miaomiao gave to shopkeeper Liu.
very.
The Queen Mother sneered, "Emperor, what do you think?"
Before the emperor could speak, the imperial concubine had already knelt on the ground and said, "Empress Dowager, no matter how brave you are, I will not dare to harm you. I am unjust. The shark pearls from the East China Sea were stolen back then, but
As we all know, I never thought that these people would dare to collude to slander me, Your Majesty, Queen Mother, you must make the decision for me."
The imperial concubine is not a fool. She knows that things will not be hidden forever, so she has been prepared for it.
She had the courage to do what she did back then, so she had naturally thought of a way out.
Moreover, she said these things had been stolen early on, just in case.
However, things are unpredictable, and what the imperial concubine did not expect was that this day would come so quickly.
Moreover, the fingers were all pointed at herself. She had reason to doubt whether all of this had been planned by the old witch, the Queen Mother.
Just waiting to get in, is it possible that the Queen Mother's poisoning was all planned?
No wonder, no wonder the palace maids were not allowed to go out and the palace gate was sealed, damn old witch.
No, she couldn't just sit back and watch the Queen Mother reveal the truth about what happened back then.
There will never be any truth about what happened back then.
They are all those pedantic old stubborns who deserve to die. She is a noble concubine, with the emperor's love and affection, and her son will be able to sit on the throne in the future. However, she is ignorant and ignores her own efforts. Even her exile back then was a light thing.
The emperor saw that the imperial concubine looked pitiful, and she did not look like she would do such a vicious thing. Besides, he had been by his side for so many years, and he knew best what kind of person she was.
He looked at the Queen Mother and begged, "Queen Mother, I know that the Queen Mother doesn't like the Imperial Concubine, but the Empress Mother cannot just find people to slander the Imperial Concubine. The Imperial Concubine has the simplest mind and the kindest woman I have ever seen. How can she be so good?"
I'm going to poison you, my queen mother, and you're going to slander a few unrelated minor officials for nothing."
The emperor's words made the queen mother look at him more.
The emperor is still as blind as ever, and actually believes that the imperial concubine is a kind person, who can ignore the life and death of the palace maids, frame and frame minor officials for his own selfish desires, and exile to the wilderness. In the end, people die on the road, and even when they get there, they die of illness.
He could be a kind person, and the Queen Mother would not believe it even if she beat her to death.
The people below all explained the matter in summary. Seeing that everyone had heard more or less, the Queen Mother stood up.
"You can ignore the matter of Donghai Shark Pearl. Your Majesty, why don't you take a look at the evidence in the hands of the Ai family and find out whether it is the Ai family who wrongly misunderstood her or whether she relied on your favor and smooth words to confuse your mind. Your Majesty.
, you are the king of a country, and it goes against your grace to be controlled by a woman."
The Queen Mother's words were very serious, the Emperor's face was stiff, and the Imperial Concubine looked at the so-called evidence in her hand and couldn't believe that she had destroyed all of it.
The Queen Mother must have come out with forged evidence to blow herself up. This old witch has no good intentions. She must be like this. She must keep her composure.
"Your Majesty, I am not afraid of my shadow being distorted if I am upright. Since the Queen Mother can produce evidence, why not Your Majesty see what the evidence is. I have never done anything to disgrace the Emperor. I am not afraid." The imperial concubine raised her watery eyes.
, just looking at the emperor.
The emperor's mind softened instantly. His beloved concubine had always been considerate to him, and the way he looked at the evidence in the hands of the queen mother changed a bit.
The Queen Mother completely gave up on the Emperor, "Xiao Zhuo, come and take a look."
The emperor's expression was not very good. The queen mother was slapping him in the face. Just when he opened his mouth to say something, Xiao Zhuo had already taken the evidence from the queen mother's hand.
The imperial concubine bit her lip, and it was Xiao Zhuo again.
Xiao Zhuo took the evidence in his hand, glanced at the imperial concubine, and then displayed the evidence in front of everyone.
"Father, I think it is better for you to see this evidence in person." Xiao Zhuo handed the evidence to the emperor, "I am afraid that if I say something, others will say that I have a biased opinion about the imperial concubine, but it is my father who
Your Majesty, you are the most impartial, take a look at this evidence."
The Queen Mother looked lonely and suspicious. This evidence was handed to her by Xiao Zhuo, and there were also the charges of the imperial concubine that the maids had just confessed in order to survive. Could it be that things were not what she saw?
The emperor frowned, "It's just a piece of evidence... Is there anything I don't dare to see..."
He looked at the evidence and testimony in his hand, and his expressionless face suddenly became gloomy, and gradually became angry.
"Bitch~" The emperor held the evidence in his hand and turned around and gave the concubine a slap in the face, "How dare you betray me, even Huang'er is not my child, what else do you dare not do~"
Xiao Zhuo looked at the emperor's angry expression with cold eyes.
The imperial concubine had an affair with the prime minister and gave birth to a son. What a ridiculous thing it was that happened to the emperor.
The Queen Mother also looked at the Emperor and the Imperial Concubine in disbelief. She didn't know how to react for a moment. Not only her, but everyone present including the Queen, Yun Miaomiao and Gu Fengqing all had their eyes widened in disbelief.
Watch this farce.
They wanted to clear the name of the Yun family today, but they unexpectedly found out about the imperial concubine's crime. Without anyone taking precautions, they exposed her true identity, completely destroying the relationship between the emperor and her.
After the imperial concubine was slapped, she looked at the emperor with a pale face and said, "Your Majesty, I am not a concubine. You have to believe me. Huang'er is really your son. You were obviously there that night, right? You remember it all.
Yes."
Yun Miaomiao raised her eyebrows. If the imperial concubine slept with two men in a short period of time, then she really couldn't tell whose son Xiao Huang was.
At this time, the kneeling palace maid below pointed at the imperial concubine and said, "On the second day that the emperor stayed in the imperial concubine's palace, the prime minister also entered the palace. This slave does not dare to slander the imperial concubine. Please observe carefully."
The imperial concubine was shocked, her eyes were like poisonous snakes, staring at the speaking maid, "Who are you? You dare to slander me at will. I just punished you to kneel for two hours on a rainy day, so you just
She hates me so much, Your Majesty, it must be because she hates me, I am talking nonsense, I don’t, I am unjustly accused.”
When the emperor heard the words of the palace maid, his face became even more gloomy, "You vicious woman, how dare you do this to me."
He raised his hand, ready to teach the imperial concubine a lesson.
However, at this moment, she was stopped by the Queen Mother, "Emperor, I don't need to tell you about the bloodline of the royal family. You also know that you can't just listen to the one-sided words of a palace maid about this matter. You call the prime minister into the palace, and then go
Bring Xiao Huang here and confess your kinship with blood. If the noble concubine really does it, Your Majesty will deal with it before it is too late."
The Queen Mother's words finally made the angry Emperor a little more rational.
The emperor put down his hand angrily and ordered, "Eunuch Xu, go and summon the prime minister into the palace, along with the bastards, and go to the imperial hospital to find some imperial doctors. I will take a good look at Xiao Huang today."
Is he my son?"
"Your Majesty~" The imperial concubine still wanted to plead for mercy, but she was the Queen Mother. If the Queen Mother hadn't been poisoned smoothly, how could she have found out what happened back then, and how could she have found out Xiao Huang's life experience one after another.
She would never let anyone know Xiao Huang's life experience. Xiao Huang must have been born to the emperor.
The emperor was furious and roared, "Shut up, if that bastard is not my child, your good days will come to an end."
The Queen Mother was in a state of confusion and did not expect that things would reach this point.
Yun Miaomiao was shocked. The emperor only had one Xiao Zhuo after so many years, and he was not an abstinent person. This meant that the emperor would most likely not be able to give birth. So it took so many years for the imperial concubine to have this child. Isn't it true?
The emperor's own child?
Yun Miaomiao covered her mouth, feeling that the truth had been revealed to her.
Soon, the prime minister was invited in, and the imperial physician and Xiao Huang were also brought in.
Seeing the palace full of people kneeling and the imperial concubine lying on the ground, the Prime Minister's heart skipped a beat. He had been making insinuations just now without getting anything out of Eunuch Xu's mouth. Now this scene gave him a bad feeling.
, but I can’t figure out what it is.
"See the Emperor, the Queen Mother, and the Queen." The Prime Minister still stepped forward to salute, and then asked, "I wonder why the Emperor summoned the ministers to enter the palace?"
The Emperor kept looking at the Prime Minister with his sharp eyes and said coldly, "Prime Minister, someone reported to me that you had an affair with the imperial concubine. Even my Huang'er is not my biological son. What do you think?"
The prime minister's face instantly turned pale, and the turmoil in his heart rolled in his eyes. He knelt down quickly, "Your Majesty is wise, and I will never have the guts to touch the noble concubine. Someone must be slandering the truth. Your Majesty, you must find that person."
, punish that person's crime, let the ministers make the decision, and restore the innocence of the noble concubine and the prince."
"Really?" The emperor's eyes were like ice, piercing into the prime minister's heart. "Then prime minister, tell me, what are these evidences about? What's the explanation for this?"
The emperor directly asked the evidence to be placed in front of the prime minister. Everything was detailed. Even the time when the prime minister entered the palace and when he left the imperial concubine's palace that day was written clearly. Besides, there was no outsider except the prime minister during that time.
I never saw the imperial concubine again.
Even what was written in the last document was the last straw for him.
That's what the imperial doctors just said. The emperor is ill and will never be able to have children again in this life!
The prime minister was heartbroken at this moment, but he still looked stern and angry, "Your Majesty, I know nothing about this matter. Everyone in the imperial concubine's palace saw it that day. I definitely didn't do anything against the imperial concubine. Someone must have maliciously framed me.
I am loyal to your majesty, your majesty. I will never have second thoughts, your majesty knows this!"
The emperor's eyes were cold, and he slapped his palm on the table, "The evidence is conclusive, Yang Changxing, thanks to my promotion of you, you dare to do this to me, and let me praise and kill your own prince, and make your son the
Prince, what are your intentions!"
"Wei Chen~" The prime minister's face turned pale, and he wanted to make a few excuses, but the emperor who was sitting on his arm raised his voice, "Someone, go and bring that bastard over."
Not long after, Xiao Huang was carried in front of the emperor, "Emperor Physician, let me shed blood to recognize them as relatives. I want to see what else you can say."
The imperial concubine's eyes were full of despair. No, she couldn't just look at it like this, "Your Majesty, if Huang'er sheds blood and recognizes her kinship, it has nothing to do with the Prime Minister. How will you let Huang'er deal with himself in the future? My concubine's reputation is not important, but Huang'er
He is indeed your son, you can't treat him like this."
The emperor looked at her coldly and hummed, "Is this child mine? Your concubine, you really impress me. If I hadn't learned the truth today, everyone in my Xiao family would have the surname Yang."
The imperial concubine was speechless after being questioned. The prime minister looked at her. Could it be that Xiao Huang was really his son that time? He was filled with fear for a moment.
The imperial doctor had already taken a drop of blood from the prime minister, and then took Xiao Huang's blood. Two drops of bright red blood were dropped into the cup and mixed together.
The imperial doctor and everyone present took a breath, this~the new prince and the prime minister~
Soon there was an announcement, "Your Majesty, the prime minister and the prince are indeed like father and son."
The emperor ordered, "Come here!"
The imperial concubine looked at the blood donation in the white porcelain cup in horror, "Your Majesty!"
The Prime Minister stared at the cup in disbelief and said in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty!"
"Okay, okay, it's really great. One is my good minister, one is my good concubine, and the other is my good son who I hold in my hands and feel sorry for, but they are all bastards who deceived me.
The emperor sneered, "Come here, take the prime minister down and execute him immediately. The chariot will be torn apart. I want him to be quartered on five horses! The whole Yang family will be executed, and the nine clans involved will be taken down."
The prime minister's face was full of panic when he heard this, and he kept begging for mercy, "Your Majesty, I don't know about this matter. Someone must have deliberately framed it! Your Majesty, spare your life, spare your life..."
The emperor withdrew his gaze, looked at the dejected imperial concubine on the ground, and said coldly, "The imperial concubine colluded with the prime minister, poisoned the queen mother, and framed officials. The crime is unforgivable. She also did such shameless things with the prime minister and gave poisoned wine to the prince.
Xiao Huang deposed the crown prince, sent him to the Yang family, took him to Tianlao, and executed him three days later."
"No, no, Your Majesty, I am unjustly accused, but I am not." The imperial concubine begged bitterly, but was pushed aside by the maid and eunuch beside her, "Your Majesty~"
After dealing with the Prime Minister and the Concubine's family, the Emperor's eyes fell on the people kneeling below, "You colluded with the Concubine, concealed the crime for the Concubine, and did not report the concubine's collusion with the Prime Minister. But because of your merits, I will take you down and beat you three times."
Ten big boards, drive out of the palace."
The emperor did not kill them, and everyone in the underground breathed a sigh of relief. Everyone thanked them and went down to receive their plates.
After everyone was dealt with, the palace instantly became quiet. The Queen Mother looked at the emperor with complicated emotions. She could see how much he loved the imperial concubine, but she didn't expect that the imperial concubine would do such a thing.
If it wasn't for this matter, the emperor would protect her. What a fool.
"Emperor~"
"Pfft~" Before the Queen Mother could speak, the Emperor spat out a mouthful of blood. The Queen Mother hurriedly stood up and said, "Emperor, doctor, please save this person~"
The imperial doctors did not go far. When they heard the cry, they rushed forward. The emperor fell to the ground with blood flowing from the corner of his mouth. They did not dare to delay and quickly took the emperor's pulse.
"How is it?" the Queen Mother asked with concern.
The two imperial doctors looked at each other and knelt down directly, "I am incompetent."
The emperor is so angry that he has no strength left.
The emperor knew that he was hopeless. He held the Queen Mother's hand tightly, his eyes full of remorse and regret. He looked at the Queen Mother and spoke with difficulty, "Mother, I know that I am too harsh on Zhuo'er and let those people take advantage of me."
It's a mistake, I made a mistake, let's pass the throne to Zhuo'er, I have no words to face the late emperor~"
The Queen Mother looked at the emperor with mixed emotions, and her voice was filled with sadness and helplessness, "Emperor, Zhuo'er is still young, you... you have to take care of yourself, the court needs you, and the world needs you too."
The emperor closed his eyes and stopped talking.
Xiao Zhuo, he will definitely be a good emperor in the future. If he hadn't been suspicious of him, he wouldn't have suffered so much. He almost died at the hands of the noble concubine. It was all his fault. He didn't deserve to be a good father, let alone a good emperor.
Be a father.
Probably knowing that he was dying, the emperor opened his eyes slightly and looked at Xiao Zhuo standing aside.
"Xiao Zhuo, I can't help you. I believe that you are capable of governing the world better than me. I have fulfilled the late emperor's entrustment and took the first step."
After he finished speaking, the emperor closed his eyes and lost his breath.
