Lord Bao's movements were very fast, and he quickly made all the preparations, asked the emperor for an order, and began to interrogate Guo Huai the next day.

The emperor, the queen mother, the eighth prince and other parties all came to Kaifeng Mansion; The eunuch Chen Lin, as the main witness, also went to the lobby of Kaifeng Mansion to testify against Guo Huai.

Because the Queen Mother also came, Yu Xiaoyu also returned to the post of Yahuan, accompanied the Queen Mother, hid behind the lobby of Kaifeng Mansion, and continued his onlooker life.

"Guo Huai," Master Bao slapped the shocked wood, and shouted at Guo Huai, who was forced to kneel on the ground: "Aren't you going to tell the truth about the tanuki changing the prince back then?" ”

"Master Bao," Guo Huai stiffened his neck and said without showing weakness: "What kind of civet cat for the prince, the miscellaneous family has never heard of it; You forcibly forced the miscellaneous family to admit the innocent crime, is there really no royal law? ”

"Guo Huai, are you embarrassed to mention Wang Fa?" Chen Lin on the side pointed at Guo Huai angrily: "When you did such a thing that lost your conscience, weren't you afraid of retribution?" ”

"Chen Lin," Guo Huai looked at Chen Lin and said eloquently: "What is your intention in telling such a big lie?" Aren't you afraid of retribution? ”

Master Bao looked at Guo Huai with an unrepentant look, shook his head, but no longer argued with Guo Huai about who was right and who was wrong, and instead asked Chen Lin to tell about the tanuki changing the prince back then.

Chen Lin nodded, and talked about the tanuki changing the prince in the lobby with grief and indignation; And Zhan Zhao and the others heard about this for the first time, and they were far more shocked and angry than they were yesterday when they learned that the blind old lady was actually the biological mother of the current saint and the real queen mother of the Great Song Dynasty.

Zhan Zhao couldn't help but turn her gaze to the screen behind Master Bao, imagining how shocked and frightened Yu Xiaoyu would be when she first knew about this matter, and how she endured the shock and fear in her heart at that time to give advice to the Queen Mother and the Eighth Prince, and tried her best to let the truth of this matter come to light. Thinking of Yu Xiaoyu's dangerous and difficult situation at that time, Zhanzhao's heart was filled with a slight pain.

"Later, although Concubine Liu gave birth to a boy, the child had a serious illness when she was six years old, so she went;" Chen Lin shed tears and said: "Poor Emperor Xian had no heirs for half his life, and finally got a son, but the result was ......"

Chen Lin wiped his tears: "The first emperor was so sad that he was even sick; It happened that the eighth prince brought his third son into the palace, and the third son was the little prince sent by the old slave to the Nanqing Palace; As soon as the first emperor saw the little prince, he found that he looked very similar to him when he was young, and his illness was half cured; After inquiring about his knowledge, he found that the little prince was very clever and intelligent, so the first emperor directly named him the prince of the East Palace, and the little prince returned to the palace and lived in the East Palace. ”

Yu Xiaoyu, who was standing behind the Queen Mother, secretly glanced at the emperor, and found that the emperor was red-eyed when he heard this experience, and couldn't help but secretly think: "It seems that Concubine Liu is lacking in virtue and has done too much, and as a result, even her own children abandoned her; If it weren't for Concubine Liu's children, it is estimated that the emperor would only be the third son of the eighth prince now, and he would not even be able to inherit the throne......"

What Yu Xiaoyu didn't know was that in fact, the emperor also had the same idea as her. thought that he should be the rightful heir to the throne, but in the end, he lived in the palace with some unjustified names, and was always thought to take advantage of Concubine Liu's lost son; In addition, he lives in the palace, and he often regrets that he can't be happy with his biological parents. Therefore, the emperor's hatred for Guo Huai and Concubine Liu became deeper and deeper, but his self-control was amazingly high, so he was able to endure not to strangle these two people directly.

Chen Lin glared at Guo Huai angrily and continued: "After the little prince lived in the East Palace, he was diligent and studious, and he was deeply loved by the first emperor; Although Concubine Liu had some doubts because of the little prince Ku Xiao Xiandi, she was finally passable on face; If it weren't for the ...... later"

"What happened next?" Master Bao opened his mouth and asked, "But it has something to do with Concubine Li in the cold palace?" ”

"Yes," Chen Lin nodded: "After the little prince entered the palace, the old slave was waiting by his side; One day, the little prince passed through the cold palace and happened to meet Concubine Li's mother......"

When the emperor heard this, he remembered that he had indeed seen a very beautiful woman in the cold palace at that time, and couldn't help whispering to the queen mother: "Let the queen mother suffer." If I had known the identity of the queen mother at that time, I would not have let the queen mother ......."

The Queen Mother held the emperor's hand: "Where does the emperor say; The emperor doesn't know what happened back then, how can he blame you. ”

The emperor's eyes were distracted, and he muttered: "Actually, at that time, I didn't believe in the theory that the queen mother gave birth to a monster. It's just that at that time, I was also with my mother...... Concubine Liu said, begging her to intercede with her father and let her mother come out, but ......"

"Later," Chen Lin in the lobby continued to tell about what happened after the emperor returned to the palace: "The old slave saw that the little prince and Concubine Li were crying, and he was afraid that Concubine Liu would see what was going on, so he quickly brought the little prince out." ”

"And then?"

"Who thinks, it's still noticed by Concubine Liu." Chen Lin wiped away his tears and said: "After the prince left the cold palace, he went directly to the queen at that time, that is, Concubine Liu; Concubine Liu saw that the little prince's eyes were red and there were tears on his face, so she asked the little prince why he was crying, whether he was bullied, and so on. ”

"It seems," Master Bao asked puzzledly, "Then Concubine Liu is also good to the little prince!" ”

Chen Lin shook his head: "It's just a matter of face." After Concubine Liu asked, the little prince cried and told what happened in the cold palace, explained the reason, and begged Concubine Liu to intercede for Concubine Li in front of the first emperor and let Concubine Li come out......"

Chen Lin paused before continuing: "Then Concubine Liu praised the little prince for being a benevolent and righteous child, but behind her back, she was poisoned......

"What did she do?" Master Bao pondered and asked, "But you directly set fire to the cold palace?" ”

Thinking of the events of that year, Chen Lin's tears flowed down again: "Concubine Liu listened to the words of the little prince, and began to suspect that Kou Zhu, the palace man back then, did not strangle the little prince to death, so she asked Guo Huai to torture Kou Zhu and force him to ask about the whereabouts of the little prince; Even forced the old slave to ......"

"How about forcing my father-in-law?"

"Guo Huai, a wolf-hearted thing, actually forced the old slave to torture Kou Zhu." Chen Lin said: "Unexpectedly, as soon as the old slave arrived there, he was called away by the first emperor; Later, I heard that Kou Zhu hit the monument and died. ”

"In this way," said Master Bao, "Kou Zhu, a man from that palace, is a rare loyal servant. ”

Chen Lin gritted his teeth fiercely: "Who would have thought that Concubine Liu and Guo Huai forced Kou Zhu to death, but even more ruthlessly, they had to put Concubine Li to death." ”

"Could it be that she instructed someone to set fire to the cold palace," Master Bao asked, "Are you planning to burn Concubine Li to death?" ”

"Yes," Chen Lin cried and said, "But someone secretly revealed this matter to Qin Feng, the head of the Cold Palace. That Qin Feng was originally a loyal person, had a good relationship with the old slave, and was also the one who knew the truth about the tanuki changing the prince back then. After Qin Feng knew about this, he quickly told Concubine Li about it, and when Concubine Li heard about it, she fainted; Coincidentally, there was a little eunuch in the cold palace, named Yu Zhong, who was diligent and sweet, and his small mouth was also sweet, which was deeply liked by Qin Feng. ”

"Yu Zhong is the one who died in the fire instead of Concubine Li?" Master Bao couldn't help but ask: "This person died voluntarily in place of Concubine Li?" If so, it would be very loyal. ”

Chen Lin nodded: "Yes, then Yu Zhong is already very handsome, quite feminine; After knowing Concubine Li's situation, he took the initiative to mention it to Qin Feng, and he would replace Concubine Li; Although Qin Feng was reluctant to him, he still nodded for the sake of Concubine Li. So, Yu Zhong pretended to be Concubine Li, and Concubine Li was sent out of the palace as Yu Zhong by Qin Fengtuo's illness. ”

Chen Lin recalled the events of the year, and said slowly: "It's a coincidence, Concubine Li just left the palace with her front foot, and something happened to the cold palace with her back foot, and Yu Zhong was burned alive in the fire......"

"Later," Master Bao sighed: "Concubine Li was sent to the Caozhou Bridge in Chenzhou Mansion by Qin Feng?" ”

"Concubine Li was sent to Chenzhou's hometown by Qin Feng's henchmen;" Chen Lin thought for a while: "Actually, speaking of which, Concubine Li was able to escape the poisonous hands of Concubine Liu and Guo Huai, and she should be grateful to one person......

"Oh?" This story is something that Master Bao has never heard before: "Who is it? ”

"It was the imperial doctor of the Tai Hospital at that time, named Yu Ren."

Hearing Yu Ren's name, Yu Xiaoyu couldn't help frowning, feeling that this name was very familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere.

"There was a fire in the cold palace," Chen Lin continued, "The imperial concubine was burned to death, and the Tai Hospital must verify her identity." ”

"But Yu Ren is in charge of the inspection?"

"Exactly." Chen Lin said uncertainly: "Speaking of which, the old slave doesn't know very well, whether it is a man or a woman can really be tested through the corpse. ”

"This mansion will ask you for an inquiry," Master Bao said, "Chen Lin, you go on." ”

"Yes," Chen Lin replied respectfully: "That Yu Ren inspected Yu Zhong's corpse, and he was sure that it was Concubine Li, so Concubine Liu and Guo Huai were relieved." Subsequently, the first emperor ordered that Concubine Li be buried according to the etiquette system. ”

"Where is Imperial Doctor Yuren now?" Master Bao asked puzzledly: "As far as this government knows, it seems that there is no Yu Renqi in the Tai Hospital. ”

"This is still a little impression of King Yu Renben," the eighth prince suddenly interjected: "Yu Ren is not very old, but his medical skills are very superb; After only five years in the hospital, he was promoted from a small medical officer to a hospital envoy, and his future is limitless. However, he suddenly resigned from all his positions in the hospital and disappeared. ”

Speaking of Yu Ren, Chen Lin sighed with emotion: "It is precisely because Yu Ren resigned from the Tai Hospital shortly after the fire that the old slave suspects that he already knows that the one who died is not the real Concubine Li." ”

"In this way," Master Bao thought for a while, "Then Imperial Doctor Yu should have noticed something, so he left in a hurry." ”

Speaking of this, Master Bao quietly glanced at Gongsun Ce; Gongsun Ce nodded knowingly, stood up from his position, turned to the back of the screen, and found Yu Xiaoyu.

The emperor watched Gongsun Ce directly find Yu Xiaoyu and asked her to go to the lobby to help testify, so he nodded and asked Yu Xiaoyu to go to the lobby to testify.

Looking at Yu Xiaoyu's back, the emperor gently told the Queen Mother what he had heard: Yu Mao Zhanzhao married an amazing wife, and he was able to do the work that was beyond the reach of ordinary women......

The Queen Mother remembered Yu Xiaoyu's care all the way, and nodded lightly: "The fish girl is a rare good woman, and this exhibition guard can be regarded as a blessed person." ”

Gongsun Ce returned to his table directly from behind the screen, but Yu Xiaoyu went around from a distance before coming to the lobby of Kaifeng Mansion and waiting for Lord Bao's question; At this time, Chen Lin had already told the process of Qin Feng's death; Everyone in the lobby fell silent, but Guo Huai put on a look of "You don't have evidence, I just don't admit it".

Entering the lobby of Kaifeng Mansion as a servant again, Yu Xiaoyu took a deep breath and greeted Lord Bao and the Eighth Prince according to the procedure.

"Mrs. Zhan," Master Bao nodded: "This time, the mansion invited you over, because I want to ask you some questions." ”

"Master Bao, don't say that," Yu Xiaoyu said with a smile: "I dare not take the word "please ask"; If there is any question, Mr. Bao just asks directly. ”

"Okay." Master Bao nodded: "This government asks you, can the charred corpse be examined whether the body is male or female?" ”
