When the emperor told the princes the ins and outs of the matter, the queen was wooden and sat aside, with no expression on her face.

She knew in her heart that no matter how justified she thought she was doing these things, it would be untenable when her reasons were put on the table. The image of tenderness and love she had always maintained in front of her children may be completely shattered after today. She suddenly felt a hatred in her heart, hating her husband for refusing to leave her a little dignity, and actually exposing her plan directly in front of her sons. Does he completely ignore the relationship between husband and wife for more than ten years?!

On the other hand, the emperor had already finished telling the story. The "truth" he refers to is a combination of the statements of Gao Zhen and the Jiang family, as well as the answer that the emperor asked the empress the night before, and the facts that the Marquis of Anyang experienced after entering the palace today. In this version of the truth, the queen is the absolute villain, one thing in front of her, one thing behind her back, backsliding, and secretly using despicable and shameless means to calculate others. After listening to this narrative, the two princes are both children who have read and reasoned since childhood, and naturally understand who is right and who is wrong.

They were all shocked. The eldest son of the emperor lowered his head with a pale face, and quickly thought about the reason why the queen did this, and the consequences of the matter being exposed. In any case, as a son of man, he must not watch his mother be deposed! But...... The queen mother made such a big mistake, although it did not cause irreparable consequences. But he has already angered the imperial grandmother and his father, how can he ask them to forgive the queen mother?

The second son of the emperor didn't think as much as his brother, so he asked the queen directly in a panic: "Queen Mother." Is all this true? It's fake, right? Someone else made it up to wronged you, right?! ”

The queen raised her head and looked at her little son with tears in her eyes, and her heart was moved. She was about to speak, but her younger brother Xie Xiangfei spoke first: "It's not fake, it's real...... It's all your mother's doing! She even hid your grandfather and grandmother, and I was still waiting at home for her marriage decree, where did I think that your mother would play tricks on my marriage? Before entering the palace, I had already gone to find the eldest son of the Marquis of Anyang in private. He confessed to the incident and confessed to the people who contacted him. In order to gain his trust, the man borrowed a token from your mother. "After that. Xie Xiangfei flipped his right hand and threw something into the arms of the second prince.

The second son of the emperor hurriedly hugged the thing, and when he held it in his hand, it was a purse. Look at the pattern on the top. This purse is not a made-in-the-box. But there is a silk handkerchief stuffed in the purse, and a big red seal is clearly printed on it, which is a "Jidetang" idle seal that the queen has often used since the time of the princess of the East Palace.

The second son of the emperor was very familiar with this idle medal, and knew that it was not forged, and his heart was suddenly extremely terrified. He looked at his mother with wide eyes, and his mind went blank. If only the Queen Mother and the Jiang family said that the Queen had done something bad, he would feel that they were wronging his mother; If even the emperor said that the empress had done something bad, he would think that his father had listened to the slander of others. misunderstood the queen mother; But even his uncle Xie Xiangfei, who has always been kind, said the same, and took out evidence. Then he clearly understood in his heart: this qiΔ“ is true, and his queen mother has indeed done despicable and wrong things. This undoubtedly subverted his three views, and he really didn't know how to face this qiΔ“.

Faced with the shocked gazes of her two sons, the queen collapsed.

She cried out at her brother, "Why are you saying this to him? Why?! I'm your sister, I'm your own sister! I love you so much, and that's how you repay me?! ”

Xie Xiangfei was young and vigorous, and he was also excited: "I won't say this, the princes will know sooner or later, it's better to say it early, so that they don't hear another statement from their sister, believe it, and go out and be fooled by others in the future!" What is my sister angry at me? Does my sister think she did the right thing? You are not satisfied with this marriage, why didn't you say it in the first place? Why did you agree to the Queen Mother and the Jiang family, and then hide it from your family? It's just that you're going to promise the girl you wanted to marry someone else, why do you have to find that hungry ghost?! He has no virtue and no talent, he is a well-known straw bag, such a secret is said to him, will he keep it secret?! When I got the purse, he was showing it off to others! When he saw me, he was still proud, and said in front of everyone that he would soon get my fiancΓ©e, and the helper was my own sister! He also said that if I am dissatisfied with my woman in the future, I can just give it to him, as long as it is a beauty, he will not dislike it-my good sister, do you know how my brother felt at that moment? I've never been so humiliated since I was born! I can't refute half a sentence, because that silk handkerchief has my sister's seal, and as soon as I refute it, it will hit me in the face directly! ”

The queen's eyes widened, and she trembled with anger: "How dare he ...... How dare he ......"

"Why wouldn't he dare?!" Xie Xiangfei simply broke the jar and fell, "My sister is so rash and chooses such a stupid thing to cooperate, but she hides it from her family, do you want to disgust the Jiang family, or do you want to disgust my younger brother and me?!" You know that although the marriage between Jiang Xie and the two families has not yet been clearly defined, because you have agreed, the two families have already started preparations in private, and there is no shortage of people in the know among relatives and friends. If you really make another will to give marriage, where do you want to put the face of the Xie family? How do you want your father and mother to gain a foothold in the capital in the future?! ”

The queen was already in tears, and sat down on the chair with a weak body: "I don't know......" She didn't agree, she just wanted to respond to the story and prevaricate the queen mother and the Jiang family. Where did you think that your maiden relatives would be so anxious?

Xie Xiangfei sneered with red eyes: "Sister naturally doesn't know, my sister has always been used to doing what she wants, she is spoiled by her father and mother when she is at home, and she is favored by the emperor after she gets married, and now the two princes are also filial piety and connivance to you, and even the queen mother and the Jiang family, because of the princes and princesses, let you go again and again." You can't see anything at all, you just feel wronged, and you can do whatever you want. How have you ever thought about others for half a point?! My sister was not like this before, why has she changed now that she is a queen? He choked up. I don't like my current sister, so give my old sister back! ”

After hearing this, the queen couldn't stop crying: "It's not that I want to change...... I had no choice but to do it...... I was forced! ”

"Who forced you?" The emperor spoke coldly, "Who forced you?" ”

The queen glared at him fiercely with tears in her eyes, thinking to herself, wasn't it all his fault? Why are you pretending to be okay now?

The emperor was not moved by that glance at all: "The queen is worried that I will accept another newcomer, but the outer court and the inner palace, but anyone advises me." I refused all on the grounds of filial piety. After three years of filial piety, you will also recuperate from your body, and you will just give birth to a few more princes and princesses for me. As long as my heirs flourish. What faithful courtier would ask me for a concubine? The former harem is a disaster, which is a lesson from the past! And I am so resolute, not for anything else, but because when I was newly married. I promised you. Husbands and wives stay together until they grow old and never change their minds. I always kept my promise, but the queen was always suspicious, and she lost her temper with me for three days and two days. If I really have the heart to break my oath and accept the harem, what can the queen do? I am dedicated to being the queen, but the queen doesn't know how to understand, now do you want to say that I am forcing you? ”

The queen bit her lower lip. Silently wept and did not speak.

The Emperor continued: "The Empress is always worried that I will not appoint Dalang as the prince, and I have repeatedly said that I know what to expect. The queen never believed it. The so-called idea of Lizhen'er as the prince was just an idea when the imperial brother first abdicated, and the people outside were worried that I would not be able to sit firmly on the throne of the prince, but the imperial brother vetoed it at that time, and after that, he unreservedly helped me ascend the throne. After I ascended the throne, the imperial brother took Zhen'er and retired to the palace, not befriending the courtiers and ignoring the government affairs. Outsiders don't know, and they are suspicious of him. The queen is an insider, how could she follow her relatives because of a few gossips? Do you know that yesterday Zhen'er came to look for me, and bluntly said that I should have set up Dalang as the prince as soon as possible, so as not to be uneasy in the palace and chaotic in the court. If he really had the intention of storing the place, how could he say this? ”

The queen has something on her mind in the past two days, and she has not paid attention to the rumors in the palace, but it is the first time she has heard about it, and she suddenly shows surprise.

The eldest son of the emperor nodded to her and confirmed: "Erchen has also heard about it." The second son of the emperor swallowed: "There are indeed such rumors...... even Qu Shuibo, who lives outside the palace, said: "There are rumors outside." ”

The queen couldn't believe it: "He would do this?" Then another thought came to him: "He did it on purpose!" Deliberately saying such things to buy people's hearts is not to support my son sincerely! Otherwise, how could the events of yesterday be known to everyone today? ”

Xie Xiangfei couldn't help but say: "Whether the prince of Guangping is sincere or false, anyway, he said this, and others heard it, so it was a foregone conclusion." Sister, do you understand? ”

The queen was dumbfounded. How could she not understand? Regardless of whether Gao Zhen is sincere or not, it is impossible for him to go back on his word. Now he is the first supporter of the emperor's eldest son. If she continues to exclude other fathers and sons, she will only drag her son back, so that the courtiers will see it, and they will also give birth to renunciation, unwilling to support the emperor's eldest son.

The emperor looked at the empress's expression, and there was a faint hint of self-deprecation between his eyebrows, and then said: "Also, the empress's so-called Jiang family's sending women to the palace is also biased. Several other heads of the Jiang family did have this idea, but the fourth uncle's family was the most resolute in opposition, and he wrote back directly from Tianjin to say that he would make his own decisions about the marriage of the fourth cousin and would never send his daughter to the palace. But the queen is most suspicious, and it is the fourth cousin. Even if the grandmother and the fourth aunt directly asked the queen for marriage, the queen still couldn't let go of her jealousy, and planned to directly ruin the fourth cousin's life......" He sank his face, "I watched the fourth cousin grow up, and she was like a niece to me." It was the marriage of the two families of Jiang Xie and Jiang Jian, if the fourth cousin was harmed because of this, how did the queen tell me to meet my grandmother and uncles? My relatives are not only the queen and the emperor, when the queen did these things, did she ever think that the person you want to harm is also my closest relative?! If the queen cares about me and the emperors, she shouldn't do such a stupid thing! ”

The queen bit her lower lip tightly and bowed her head and wept. She really regrets it now. She didn't inquire about the truth of the matter, chose the wrong person to cooperate with, and didn't find the right person who really needed to be wary of. With such a result, what else does she have to say?

After sobbing for a long time, she barely cheered up, and asked the emperor in a hoarse voice: "The emperor doesn't need to say any more, the matter has come to this, what's the benefit of saying more?" I know I've done something stupid, and I know you're not going to let me go anymore. Say, what are you going to do with me?
