I hurried all the way to the Taimiao, and before I entered the temple gate, I heard the angry rebuke of the prince of Zhenguo: "The prince is cautious!" As the mother of the country, the queen was known as a virtuous person before she got married, and after she got married, she abided by etiquette, was gentle and virtuous, and was a mother in the world! How could you do such a thing because of a competition for favor? Besides, the emperor and His Royal Highness have been together for more than ten years, can't they even recognize their own daughter?! ”

Then King Ning's tepid voice came out: "I don't want to believe that the imperial sister-in-law is such a person, but this matter is related to my royal bloodline, and now that the human and material evidence is there, I can't help but believe it." ”

There was no sound from inside for a long time, and suddenly Jiang You's voice came out with resentment, but it was not aimed at King Ning, she made a big salute in front of the palace door towards the place where Xiaozong and Empress Zhang were buried together, and her face was full of depression and grievance: "Queen Mother, you are bitter, you want to advise your father and emperor to the outside world, and show grace to the outside world, who has not received your kindness?" Internally, you have to govern the six palaces, raise your sons, and your sons' character and upbringing are all from your mother, but unfortunately you are weak and single, and you died early, and now your son wants to raise and his relatives are not there, and his sons can't repay your nurturing grace, and those who have received your favor can't be repaid, and now they have tarnished your name, and they are all sons and daughters are incompetent! ”

The courtiers under these words were red-skinned, and they were all a little ashamed, filial piety favored the eunuchs, and when they were the strictest, the Zhao prison was overcrowded, but fortunately, at this time, Empress Zhang was always by her side to advise, which saved many unjust, false and wrongful cases of torture, so it is not an exaggeration for Jiang You to say that Empress Zhang is kind to the courtiers.

There were already several highly respected ministers who stood up and persuaded one after another: "The queen is virtuous, His Royal Highness has been in the palace for many years, and he has been filial piety under the emperor's knees, how can he not be the emperor's son?" Don't listen to the villain's slander. ”

King Ning's face was slightly gloomy, but he didn't say anything, his side face was slightly swept over, and a middle-aged woman who was standing quietly behind him stood up, blessed everyone, and then lowered her head and held the essence under her eyelids: "The slave maid has been in the palace all his life, presumably all the ministers also know me, originally I am all about to leave the palace, but recently, the closer the prince ascends the throne, the more difficult it is for me to live in peace, and today I will say a few words about the events of the year." ”

She glanced at Jiang You, twisted her body, and sighed exaggeratedly: "The queen was not healthy back then, and she was still sick when she was pregnant with Her Royal Highness. ”

Jiang You snorted coldly: "I don't remember much when I was a child, since I can remember, my father urged me to practice martial arts during the day, and take a medicinal bath at night, what's so strange about the body?" Is this also suspicious? ”

She paused, her eyes flickered a little, and she lowered her head and said: "Your Highness, you were originally a child, as soon as you were born, you were cowardly and weak, and you barely used decoction to hang your life, so it dragged on for two months, and finally one night gradually lost her breath, the queen hugged her and cried for a day and a night, but on the third night, somehow, the queen actually carried Her Royal Highness out of the dormitory, and after two days, His Royal Highness was like a different person, Yuxue was rich, and even the crying was much louder. ”

Many old ministers knew that Jiang You's body was not very good when he was born, and their faces showed deep thought.

Jiang You's chest was full of depression and indignation, so he could only reprimand angrily: "You are talking nonsense! She took a deep breath and said: "What you said is very detailed, every word is true, I think it should be very useful in the palace, but why haven't I seen you on an errand in my mother's palace?" ”

She panicked in her eyes, and then leaned down at Jiang Youfu: "What the slave said is true, you don't know, the slave and the maid got a serious illness a year after you were born, and the queen was afraid that she would be sick to you, so she drove the slave out, you were still young at that time, so naturally you can't remember." She seemed to have some fear in her eyes, but it was difficult to hide her malice in her eyes: "There was a palace maid in the palace at the beginning, named Chunlan, who had an affair with the guards, and the pearl fetus was secretly knotted, and she secretly concealed the pregnancy, and the month she was pregnant was about the same as the queen, but the person who gave birth disappeared a few months ago If you don't believe it, you can go to the palace to call up the notes of the year to check, if the slave maid has half a lie, she is willing to be thundered by the sky!" ”

As she spoke, she knelt down to King Ning and said sharply: "The slave has been holding this matter in her heart for decades, and she can't sleep at night, and now seeing that the prince is about to ascend the throne, the slave and maid really can't bear that the royal blood has gone wrong, so she said it at this time, and I hope you will make a decision!" ”

This thing is said to be true, and even seventy or eighty percent is true, Jiang You's health was really bad when he was a child, and when he was pregnant with the queen, there was indeed a palace maid who had a secret knot and concealed her pregnancy, and then there was no trace of her. These two things were linked together by her and said, and the originally unrelated things changed their taste, and the connection was that the queen's daughter died early, so she took the place of the palace girl.

Zhen Guogong, who was on the side, frowned and retorted: "I think you are a bunch of nonsense, Your Highness was not in good health at the beginning, but the emperor invited the national hand holy doctor to slowly recuperate, and when you are older, you will practice some Tu Na kung fu, how did you become a person who dropped the bag?" And how can it be hidden from such a big thing as the palace maid's pregnancy? ”

Her eyebrows drooped, her face twitched a few times, and then she spoke in a gentle voice: "Originally, the queen planned to dispose of the palace maid, but later I heard that the imperial doctor said that His Royal Highness might not be able to save it, and it was diagnosed that the palace maid was pregnant with a female fetus, so the queen reported the palace maid as sick, and then sent it to Songtao Temple for placement, so that she could give birth safely." ”

Songtao Temple has been burned down a long time ago, this is the same as not saying it, Zhenguo Gong was so angry that his face turned purple, and he was about to refute, when he saw King Ning take a step forward, and said with a slight smile: "Coincidentally, I accidentally found a teacher who was married in Songtao Temple, and she was also there more than ten years ago." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, several guards surrounded an old nun who was dressed in a tie and walked out, and slowly saluted everyone, drooping her sagging eyelids, half-covering the cunning light under her eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Amitabha, you Tanyue, someone did send a pregnant female benefactor to our temple, who was received by the host, she has been placed in the backyard, after giving birth, her baby girl was taken away, and then later"

She pretended to be a little frightened: "Then there was a fire in the temple, and everyone in the temple, along with the female benefactor, died in the scourge. ”

King Ning motioned for the two to stand down, turned to the ministers and sighed: "The royal bloodline cannot be confused, I think it is better to put the matter of ascending the throne aside, first investigate the matter of His Royal Highness's life experience, and then talk about the matter of ascending the throne." ”

The longer this situation drags on, the better it will be for him. The ministers below looked at each other for a while, but they were silent, it was related to the bloodline of the Jiang family, that was the slightest mistake, to put it mildly, if it really made a wild child become the emperor, it really made everyone in the world laugh off their big teeth.

King Ning lowered his head and looked at the people below who all showed a look of surprise, raised his lips with satisfaction, and was about to speak, when he saw a slender figure step in, and said loudly to him: "The prince's words are wrong, the country cannot be without a king for a day, and the position of the monarch is better to be settled as soon as possible." ”

King Ning saw Xue Yuan smiling brightly, and paced calmly, thinking that he had repeatedly spoiled his own good deeds, he couldn't help but feel a block in his heart, and he couldn't help but hold back his anger: "On the day of the emperor's funeral today, there should be nothing to do with the factory father, right?" ”

Xue Yuan raised his lips: "It's good that our family has taken on the title of the palm seal of the celebrant supervisor, and now that such a big thing has happened, it is a matter of the national prince, our family can't just ask, right?" ”

He gathered and dragged Sa, stood on His Majesty Dan with his hands, and immediately two yellow doors carried the Taishi chair up, he shook and sat down, and then reached out to take the tea handed over by Chengbei, and took a sip of tea without hurrying.

This is the Taimiao, even the noble crown prince Runing had to stand and speak, but he sat there steadily, but no one dared to put his beak at the bottom.

King Ning's expression sank a little more, his eyes were full of haze, and the corners of his mouth that had always been raised also sank: "What does the factory man mean?" ”

Xue Yuan slapped his hands twice: "Bring everyone up." After speaking, a eunuch walked up with a woman with a plain face, he glanced at the woman, and said casually: "This woman was originally close to the queen, and later married the imperial doctor and left the palace, it is better than the rough slave and maid that King Ning found out of nowhere." ”

Jiang You looked the woman up and down a few times, and hesitated: "This is Aunt Huansha, who was next to the queen mother?" ”

Xue Yuan smiled slightly: "Your Highness has a good memory. ”

Huansha also glanced at Jiang You, her expression was slightly excited, and then she eased her expression, and turned her head to the woman: "At the beginning, the queen said that you were a scheming person, and you couldn't stay in Changxi Palace, and today I really responded to Niangniang's original words." ”

There was a bit of panic in her eyes, and she wanted to refute it with one mouth, but Huansha ignored her, and said with a salute: "All of you adults must be proficient in criminal law, and she doesn't care about the matter of slandering the queen for the time being, but she has always held a grudge against the queen, and only for this point, this person's words are not enough to believe a word!" ”
