The incident that Concubine Hui said was not a deliberate fabrication, but it was true, except for Concubine Jing's last words of panic. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

It's just that she has never liked to meddle in matters and get involved in disputes, although she once suspected that Concubine Jing was likely to be framed by Queen Zhao, but she also knew that people in this palace were soft-spoken, and no one would believe anything.

Even for Gao Heng, he should stay out of the matter, so as not to invite unprovoked killing.

But until that day, after she heard the truth that Cheng Jinzhi said through the mouth of Jing Concubine that the prince was not Emperor Zhou's own son, she was shocked, and thought of the scene of meeting Jing Concubine in the Imperial Garden that night, but she chose to believe more and more in her heart that what Jing Concubine said was true.

And coincidentally, Emperor Zhou suddenly came to Guangling Palace today, and she was sitting in front of her at the moment, so she didn't want to miss this great opportunity to avenge Jing Concubine and help Gao Heng.

From Concubine Hui's point of view, since there was this rumor as a bait to lure out the events of the year, what she had to do was not to try her best to make Emperor Zhou believe that the rumors were true, so that he would think that she was suspected of deliberately slandering the queen.

Instead, it was to fully arouse Emperor Zhou's suspicions and make him determined to confirm the matter.

As long as it is finally confirmed that the crown prince is not the biological blood of Emperor Zhou, everything will come to an end.

Although for this matter, whether it is Concubine Hui or Gao Heng, they are not completely sure.

But now there is no way back, and in terms of the still considerable odds of winning, she can only bet on this.

"What... Jing Concubine she... Is that really what she said?"

After listening to this unknown old story that Concubine Hui said, Emperor Zhou's heart trembled suddenly, and the hand on his knee tightened the clothes. Even though Concubine Hui didn't directly find out what that secret meant, at the moment when this wave of gossip was prevalent, anyone with a discerning eye could hear the off-string sound that it was referring to.

The shocking secrets of Empress Zhao and the crown prince, apart from the wind of rumors that are prevalent at the moment, it is difficult for him to think of anything else.

"What the concubine said is true, and she will never dare to deceive Your Majesty!"

Seeing that Emperor Zhou's face was becoming more and more severe, and there was a gloomy and fierce color between her eyebrows, Concubine Hui knew that her words were effective, so she hurriedly leaned down and spoke earnestly.

"The concubine just informed His Highness of everything that happened at that time, and the matter was very important, as for whether what Concubine Jing said was true or false, the concubine did not dare to make a judgment, let alone any subjective speculation. Because of this, even though many years have passed since this matter, the concubine still hasn't revealed half a word to others, if it weren't for His Royal Highness asking today, this matter would only be left in the concubine's heart and passed away, and no second person would ever know. ”

"You don't have to blame yourself, I don't mean to blame you, get up. ”

Emperor Zhou took a deep breath to restrain his expression, and raised his hand towards Concubine Hui, although there was not much unusual in his demeanor for the time being, but every word was extremely heavy, and he was obviously greatly touched.

Indeed, Concubine Hui's words were shocking, and Emperor Zhou couldn't convince himself, so he easily regarded them as nonsense

The left ear goes in and the right ear goes out, regardless of it.

However, Emperor Zhou also knew that this matter was about the mother of a country and the prince of the dynasty, and Concubine Hui and Empress Zhao had a long-standing grudge, so they must not listen to her words lightly.

But after thinking about it, he came to Guangling Palace on a temporary basis today, and it was only under his questioning that he forced Concubine Hui to mention this old past, and the initiative of the matter seemed to be in his own hands.

Coupled with Concubine Hui's methodical and reasonable statements, it doesn't look like she was in a hurry to deliberately slander the queen

It sounds like that.

Moreover, in Emperor Zhou's heart, Concubine Hui gave him the impression that she had always been indisputable and did not know the city, so she had been planning for a long time

The possibility has become more and more small.

However, the smaller the suspicion of Concubine Hui's attempt to slander, it means that the suspicion about the prince's life history will become thicker and thicker.

Thinking of this, Emperor Zhou closed his eyes a little hard, and his mind unconsciously skimmed over the scenes since the prince was born, but no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't find a gap that could clear this cloud of doubt.

The wrinkled hands hidden in the sleeves also began to clench their fists tightly.

This matter is related to the royal reputation and his eternal reputation as an emperor, even if there has been a storm in his heart, in front of Concubine Hui, who is a palace concubine, he can't behave too abnormally.

Even if this rumor unfortunately becomes true in the end, he must try his best to find a way to make up for it and cover it up, and never let this shocking scandal be exposed to the public.

At this moment, although Concubine Hui still looked solemn and her face was embarrassed, she knew that the seed of doubt in Emperor Zhou's heart had been successfully planted, and when it took root and sprouted, it was just around the corner.

Because she knew very well that before the blood relationship of the crown prince was completely lifted, he would never allow an heir with a suspicious background to sit on the throne of the Great Zhou.

"Your Majesty, please be clear! Concubine Jing is deceased, and there is no possibility of verifying many things. It's just that in the eyes of the concubines, just what Concubine Jing said in a hurry can't prove anything, don't implicate the queen and His Royal Highness the prince because of this old matter, otherwise, the concubines are really guilty. ”

"Concubine Hui, you should have told me about this earlier, while Concubine Jing was still alive. ”

Emperor Zhou sighed earnestly, his pupils tightened in confusion, although the whole person was quite calm, he was still seen by Concubine Hui, and his right hand holding the cushion was trembling gently.

"Speaking of which, Concubine Jing died too suddenly, so many years have passed, why can't I think about it at this time. The concubine still remembered that at that time, Jin Zhi saw her self-hanging corpse with her own eyes, so that she was so frightened that she fainted to the ground, and she kept crying after waking up. ”

Concubine Hui said with a sad expression, her tone was full of regret, and she saw Emperor Zhou's eyes slightly condensed, and she moved her eyelashes a little helplessly. "Yes, if you don't say that I have forgotten, when Concubine Jing hanged herself, the girl of the golden branch also happened to be locked up in the Nine Hidden Terrace. ”

Emperor Zhou also nodded thoughtfully when he heard this, just mentioning a coincidence, but he didn't pay too much attention to it.

However, after a moment of silence, it was as if he suddenly noticed something, and a flash of inspiration occurred in his mind.

Immediately afterward, I saw his tense face stiffened, his eyes furrowed sharply, and he said a sentence in a low voice from his throat. "Cheng Jinzhi, Jing Concubine... Are there really so many coincidences in this world?"
