Sang Lian suddenly became displeased with a cold face, and glanced around the crowd: "I know that you don't want to see me, and now you even question my life experience, but do you take me seriously?"
"Concubine, calm down, there must be a misunderstanding about this matter." Zhao Qianru quickly comforted Sang Lian and said a lot of words before she controlled Sang Lian's anger.
Zhao Qianru came to Mingchu and asked: "Who sent you here? Do you know what the crime is of pretending to be a girl from Zhao Guogong's house? If you are exposed, you will be beheaded. Since you are young, you can recruit her from the truth. I can
I won’t kill you.”
Facing Zhao Qianru's coercion and inducement, Mingchu calmly raised his head and whispered a few words, which scared Zhao Qianru's face.
She said, I grew up in the Western Regions, and I have seen my mother's portrait.
"No...impossible." Zhao Qianru was in a state of confusion. If Mingchu was her daughter, then who was Sang Lian?
"Third sister, maybe Concubine Yu is a child of a good family, but she just happened to be lost. She was as old as the early Ming Dynasty..." Mrs. Zhao Guogong advised.
Today, no matter what, we must disassociate Sang Lian from Zhao Guogong's mansion.
"Mother?" Sang Lian shouted, with a hint of panic in her tone. Apart from her status as an empty noble concubine, she had no backing to support her. If she was abandoned by the Duke of Zhao, her future would be very difficult.
"Mother, I am your daughter, your biological daughter who is fostered outside."
Sang Lian stepped forward and held Zhao Qianru's hand. Mingchu on the side was not to be outdone, and gently tugged Zhao Qianru's other hand: "Mother, I am Mingchu, your only daughter."
Zhao Qianru couldn't tell the two apart for a while.
"Third sister, you can take a blood test to test your identity." The second lady reminded quietly.
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhao Qianru's face suddenly became a little ugly. She pulled away the hand of one of them and stood firmly beside Sang Lian.
"This is my daughter, you are pretending."
Jiang Yunxu was not surprised at all by this result. Who made Sang Lian a noble concubine?
"This little girl is not very young, but she has such vicious thoughts. She dares to pretend to be my daughter." Zhao Qianru shouted angrily: "Here comes someone, get her out of here."
Soon two guards rushed up to arrest Mingchu, but were stopped by Zhao Guogong himself: "How dare you touch my cousin?"
"Brother?" Zhao Qianru was surprised.
Zhao Guogong looked at Zhao Qianru with a disappointed look on his face: "You are already a mother, so you shouldn't stay in Zhao Guogong's mansion. The yard next door should be regarded as your dowry from the Duke of Zhao's mansion. Your mother still needs to rest, so you can go back."
This means they are not allowed to see Mrs. Zhao.
No matter how much Zhao Qianru talked, it was of no avail. Zhao Guogong gave an order and dozens of guards surrounded the courtyard.
Sang Lian's heart heaved when she saw this, her eyes were blazing, and she asked coldly: "Uncle, do you really deny me?"
"How dare you? The Duke of Zhao's house doesn't dare to attach himself to the imperial concubine. It's because the Duke of Zhao's house is not so lucky."
Zhao Guogong responded calmly, blocking his way with his burly body. His posture did not take Sang Lian seriously at all.
The two were in a stalemate for a while, then Sang Lian took a deep breath and turned around and walked away.
Zhao Qianru saw this and rushed forward anxiously.
The number of people in the courtyard suddenly decreased by more than half, but Duke Zhao did not panic at all. This was the choice of Duke Zhao's palace, and it also clearly informed the Lingzhou Emperor of Duke Zhao's position.
It was extremely embarrassing for Concubine Yu to enter the city today. In less than half an hour, the news spread that Concubine Yu had replaced the cousin of Duke Zhao's family.
The people talked about it.
"This imperial concubine is really talented. Even if she is discovered as an imposter, she can still enter the palace and become a concubine. The pheasant has turned into a phoenix."
"The strange thing is that the emperor has never met Concubine Yu once before, so why did he designate her as a concubine? What is the purpose of her still having such a reputation?"
Some people laughed but said nothing.
Picture what?
Isn't it because he wants to win over the Zhao Guogong's Mansion and take the opportunity to attack Chu Xunzhi? You must know that the Zhao Guogong's Mansion is the ancestral home of Chu Xuanzhi.
There were many rumors, and the matter soon spread to the palace.
Emperor Lingzhou was very angry: "The Duke of Zhao dares to humiliate me like this. How can it be so unreasonable?"
Qi returns to Qi, but the issue of Yu Guifei's ownership still needs to be settled.
"If I welcome people into the palace, I don't know how many people will laugh at me in the future." Emperor Lingzhou wished he could give Sang Lian a glass of poisonous wine to end the problem.
If you haven't married someone to welcome someone into the palace, leaving it outside the palace like this is against the rules.
So Emperor Lingzhou was in a dilemma.
"Your Majesty, it's almost noon." Eunuch Li reminded carefully. According to the rules, people should be welcomed into the palace before noon.
Emperor Lingzhou snorted coldly and made no reply.
