Ji Xiaotang asked Empress Dowager Han who killed Ji Xiaolian.

“…… Who else could there be......" Empress Dowager Han sneered, and then told Ji Xiaotang and Qin Zhen about what happened that day.

Ji Xiaotang and Qin Zhen listened and quickly exchanged glances. According to Empress Dowager Han, the murderer who assassinated Ji Xiaolian pointed to a person.

“…… It's her, it's Zheng Rong, the. In the end, when Empress Dowager Han said Zheng Rong's name, perhaps because she was too excited and hateful, she coughed a few times.

The cough wasn't faked.

Empress Dowager Han's health is really getting worse and worse now.

"Is it her?" Ji Xiaotang's face showed a very surprised expression, "How could it be her?" Since the queen mother knew that all this was done by Concubine Zheng Guifei, the queen mother should severely punish Concubine Zheng. ”

This time, Ji Xiaolian's matter is very involved in the palace. Not only were the people in Queen Han's Kunning Palace implicated, but Zheng Guifei Zheng Rong was also implicated.

There was a palace maid in Zheng Guifei's palace who committed suicide, and Zheng Guifei herself was ordered by the Empress Dowager Han to be imprisoned in the cold palace.

However, Empress Dowager Han did not announce Zheng Guifei's charges, nor did she announce how to punish Zheng Guifei.

Speaking of the suicide of the palace maid, after Ji Xiaolian's incident, there seemed to be fewer people in Cining Palace.

Ji Xiaotang's eyes glanced around, and he already had some understanding in his heart.

And Empress Dowager Han coughed violently again, and it took a while to barely stop.

"I don't want to punish her severely, to avenge your eldest sister and my poor royal grandson. Hate that makes a good means. not only denied it, but also silenced everyone around him who knew about it. …… You also know that there is a lot of power behind that. Although I knew it was her, I didn't have any tangible evidence in my hands, so I couldn't help her for a while! ”

As she spoke, Empress Dowager Han raised her eyes to look at Qin Zhen and Ji Xiaotang. At this moment, her eyes flickered, as if to convey something that she was not yet able to say.

The forces behind Zheng Rong naturally refer to the Zheng family. That is, Zheng Mian, the head of the household.

The household department is in charge of the world's money and grain, Zheng Mian has been in the position of Shangshu for decades, and he is good at dancing with long sleeves. Known as the tumbler. The world has been plagued by disasters for many years, and the imperial court has relied more and more on the household department, while Zheng Mian has been operating for many years, and his power is intertwined.

Domino effect. Empress Dowager Han really didn't dare to move Zheng Mian easily. But if it's just the Zheng family, it's not immovable.

The key issue is still behind the Zheng family. Behind the Zheng family, there is another force that cannot be underestimated. That is Prince Su Qin Lin.

Empress Dowager Han said that she couldn't help Zheng Rong, and it was not only the Zheng family who was afraid of her, but also Qin Lin.

Ji Xiaotang was secretly exposed in his heart. Empress Dowager Han worked hard and lonely, and after such layers of foreshadowing, she finally wanted to see the poor dagger and express her true intentions: behind Ji Xiaolian's incident, it was Zheng Guifei Zheng Rong who was the internal response. Prince Su Qin Lin is manipulating.

Qin Zhen and Ji Xiaotang were both slightly moved, but they were extremely calm inside. The two didn't tie around much. However, Empress Dowager Han couldn't help but say everything.

Empress Dowager Han paused, then waved her hand at the people who served on both sides.

And all who served saluted, bowed their heads, and withdrew silently, and closed the doors of the main hall.

In the main hall, there were only three people: Empress Dowager Han, Qin Zhen and Ji Xiaotang.

"Zhen'er," Empress Dowager Han said with emotion, and at the same time stretched out her hand to Qin Zhen.

Qin Zhen hurriedly got up, walked quickly to Empress Dowager Han's side, and held the hand that Empress Dowager Han stretched out.

Empress Dowager Han seemed to be very comforted, but her eyes became more and more red.

"Now that Your Majesty and I are isolated in the palace, Daqin's Jiangshan Sheji is about to fall into the hands of thieves, and only Zhen'er can turn the tide......"

"The Queen Mother doesn't have to be like this, where did things get to this point!" Qin Zhen hurriedly said, "The Queen Mother is because Concubine Ji died and there is no little emperor and grandson, so she is overly sad and her thoughts are a little pessimistic......"

"You kid, you are still the same as when you were a child, too kind and naïve......" Empress Dowager Han looked at Qin Zhen and said with some hatred.

"Please also ask the Queen Mother for advice." Qin Zhen had no choice but to say.

“…… He is a thief with a weak heart, and he has a deep knot with us for a long time. Yu'er has grown so big, I am compassionate, but they are always wary of me, for fear that I will hurt Yu'er, I have only seen Yu'er once, and I have never hugged that child! Where do they still have a little affection and scruples for me and Your Majesty! ”

Empress Dowager Han burst into tears.

"Your Majesty has been on the throne for many years and has no heirs, so they have wolf ambitions and secretly form parties for personal gain, when Your Majesty and I don't know. Your Majesty and I are just thinking of the first emperor and the flesh and blood of our closest relatives with him, so we have always let it go. Your Majesty has no heirs, and you have always been unlucky. Your Majesty and I haven't thought about ......, but that son of a son is really a white-eyed wolf that can't be raised, how can Your Majesty and I rest assured......

"God has mercy, Concubine Ji is pregnant. Your Majesty and I are both happy and worried. I am happy that His Majesty finally has an heir, but I am worried that the person who covets the throne will not let Concubine Ji Guifei smoothly give birth to the imperial heir. ”

"We were extremely careful, and the queen even took care of Concubine Ji's food, clothing, housing and transportation herself, but she still didn't prevent the thief......"

Empress Dowager Han pulled Qin Zhen and said, and said for a long time with tears in her eyes.

In the narrative of the Empress Dowager Han, it was Qin Lin who instructed behind the scenes, Zheng Gui executed it in the palace, and secretly killed Ji Xiaolian with one corpse and two lives. After that, the two sides joined forces to silence everyone who knew about it.

This person in the know does not only include the people around Zheng Guifei, the people around Queen Han saw the flaws and mastered the evidence of Zheng Guifei's harm, but they were also secretly killed by these two people.

"Even I am here, and they haven't let it go." As Empress Dowager Han said this, her eyes moved to Ji Xiaotang's face. She asked Ji Xiaotang, "Xiaotang, do you remember Mama Fang?" ”

"After returning to my mother," Ji Xiaotang also stood up, walked to the Empress Dowager Han and stood side by side with Qin Zhen, "How could I not remember." Mama Fang is the old mama who has to be used by the queen mother's side. When I came to live in the palace, it was thanks to Mama Fang's enthusiastic care. ”

"Yes, that's her. You kid. is really a good boy with affection. Empress Dowager Han nodded, "You must be very strange to come today." She's usually by my side, so why can't she see her today? ”

"I was about to ask the queen mother, but I didn't have a chance yet. Didn't the queen mother send her on some errand, so she wasn't by the queen's side? ”

"Where did you send her on some errand?" Empress Dowager Han shook her head, and then told Ji Xiaotang and Qin Zhen. “…… She has been serving by my side for decades, and the other day she was not in good health, so she said she was old. I want to say goodbye to my hometown. I can't bear her, but I think that she is also tired by my side, and she can enjoy happiness when she returns to her hometown. ”

"So. I said yes to her. It's just that she's going back to her hometown. I'm going to buy more things, and there are still some things to take care of in Beijing, so I naturally won't urge her to leave. But after she left the palace that day, she never came back. ”

"Is there such a thing?" Ji Xiaotang asked in surprise, "Mama Fang has a deep relationship with the queen mother, and she is an old man who understands things, so she shouldn't say goodbye without saying goodbye." ”

"That's what I thought too." Empress Dowager Han bowed, "These things have happened now. I'm worried, I'm afraid she's been poisoned too. I'm going to see her again in the future. I'm afraid I can't. ”

When Empress Dowager Han said this, she shed a few tears.

Ji Xiaotang couldn't help but sigh, so he had to try his best to comfort the Empress Dowager Han. Taking advantage of the Empress Dowager Han's bowing head to wipe her tears, Ji Xiaotang and Qin Zhen exchanged another look.

Other things may not be fully sure of their husband and wife, but Qin Zhen has found out about Mama Fang's affairs clearly.

Empress Dowager Han was preparing a baby boy outside the palace, planning that Ji Xiaolian could replace this matter in time when she gave birth to a baby girl, and it was Mama Fang who appointed it. Because of this, Mama Fang used to leave the palace frequently a few days ago.

However, Mama Fang's return to her hometown is nothing.

Qin Lin did grasp the location where Mama Fang hid pregnant women, and also caught those pregnant women, but he didn't arrest~ Mama Fang. But Mama Fang did die, but not in Qin Lin's hands.

How could Qin Lin kill Mama Fang, what he wanted most was to capture Mama Fang alive and let Mama Fang correct the Empress Dowager Han.

Mama Fang died in the hands of the Empress Dowager Han, and her body was missing.

There is also the Empress Dowager Han who kept saying that Qin Lin and Zheng Rong colluded, causing Ji Xiaolian to die twice, and then killed people. These things were not done by Qin Lin at all.

Qin Lin's plan was very good, but it was sensitively noticed by Empress Dowager Han.

Although King Su used a lot of effort in the Forbidden Palace, and also had an internal response like Zheng Rong, he still underestimated the Empress Dowager Han. In the forbidden palace, it is still the world of the Empress Dowager Han.

Empress Dowager Han was aware of Qin Lin's plan, and she was also very scruples in her heart, knowing that continuing to keep the fetus in Ji Xiaolian's womb would cause incalculable danger to herself.

Empress Dowager Han made a decision immediately and made a move before Qin Lin.

Ji Xiaolian has two lives, and Empress Dowager Han is the real murderer behind it. As for so many people being implicated after that, many people died, and most of them died at the hands of the Empress Dowager Han.

Now, Empress Dowager Han called Ji Xiaotang and Qin Zhen into the palace, reversed black and white in front of them, and pushed these things onto Qin Lin.

Empress Dowager Han did this, of course, not only to cover up her own crimes.

"Now the person who serves by my side, I don't know when, he will attack me directly!" Empress Dowager Han held Qin Zhen in one hand and Ji Xiaotang in the other, and burst into tears.

"How dare he do that!" Qin Zhen finally became angry, his eyebrows raised, and a pair of eyes widened.

Qin Zhen was rarely angry, and it seemed that he was really provoked this time. Ji Xiaotang had hardly seen Qin Zhen angry.

Qin Zhen was angry now, and Ji Xiaotang was a little frightened.

"How dare he." Empress Dowager Han's eyes flashed with a hint of pride, and then she returned to her sad and earnest appearance. "Your Majesty has been childless for many years, and Zhen'er, you have always been angry. The thief had already taken the dragon chair into his possession. ”

Empress Dowager Han said that Qin Zhen was not angry, and her tone was full of kindness and doting.

"Queen Mother, Your Majesty is in the prime of her youth, although Concubine Ji is unlucky, Your Majesty will definitely have other princes. Please also ask the Queen Mother to relax a little, third brother...... King Su's place, I'll go and talk to him about it. One day with me, I will never let him do anything rebellious and unethical! Qin Zhen persuaded the Empress Dowager Han on the one hand, and assured the Empress Dowager Han that he and Qin Lin were incompatible.

"The prince is right." Ji Xiaotang also chimed in, "The Queen Mother should be too sad to lose her little emperor and grandson." Your Majesty is in the prime of life, and there are many concubines in the harem, although there is no this, how much will there be in the future. The Queen Mother doesn't need to worry at all. ”

Empress Dowager Han nodded, but shook her head again and let out a deep sigh.

"You two are good boys, and you make me happy by talking. Others don't know, but I know it, and I'm not afraid to tell you clearly. Empress Dowager Han's gaze was focused and trusting, as if she was telling Ji Xiaotang and Qin Zhen. What she is going to say next is all heartfelt words, and she will never say them to outsiders.

"Your Majesty's health has been getting worse and worse over the years. Although the doctors tried their best to recuperate, it was just ,...... I'm afraid ......" Although he decided to have a showdown with Qin Zhen and Ji Xiaotang, it was still very difficult to say these words.

However, she was ruthless and still said that sentence.

“…… After Your Majesty, I am afraid that it will be difficult to have an heir! ”

This is already the consensus of the government and the opposition, but it is the first time that the Empress Dowager Han has admitted it herself, and it is still in front of a prince who is qualified to succeed to the throne.

What this represents, no one knows better than Qin Zhen and Ji Xiaotang.

"Please don't say that, Queen Mother!" Qin Zhen hurriedly said, subconsciously lowering his head.

Ji Xiaotang was relieved for a moment, and immediately comforted the Empress Dowager Han.

"The queen mother, the Jiren have their own natural appearance, don't be so pessimistic about the queen mother."

"It's not that I'm pessimistic. Destiny is like this, and I can't help but bow to it. Empress Dowager Han saw Qin Zhen and Ji Xiaotang's reactions in her eyes, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but bring a hint of a smile.

She knew that once such a bait was dropped, it would be Qin Zhen and Ji Xiaotang, the two little foxes who had become sperm, and they couldn't help but take the bait.

Jiang is still old and spicy, and Rao is these two little foxes are extremely cunning, and in the end, they will still fall into her trap and be driven by her to work.

"Your Majesty can't have any more heirs, but the country of Great Qin needs an heir." Empress Dowager Han put down Ji Xiaotang and Qin Zhen's hands, and said slowly, but clearly, "Now there are only two people who can inherit the great treasure after Your Majesty. ”

"One of them is Qin Yu, the son of King Su, and the other is ...... Xuan'er. ”

"Qin Lin's thief must also know this very well. I didn't come to you for myself. Qin Lin has already killed His Majesty's child, and the next step is to do it to Xuan'er! ”

"You two children, it's time to grow up, and it's time to see Qin Lin's ambition and cruel methods!" (To be continued.) )
