In the blink of an eye, the queen mother's birthday has arrived, and the emperor has issued an edict a few days ago, ordering officials above the third grade, bachelors, princes, concubines and others to bring their families into the palace. That night, all those who were invited entered Miyagi early to wait, and as soon as it was dark, people began to take their seats according to their assigned seats.

Li Weiyang took a look, the whole palace is full of lights, everywhere is lit with lights and candles, everywhere in the hall is gorgeous, even the palace maids who shuttle between different seats to pour tea and hold fruit plates are all dressed in colorful clothes, looking golden and gorgeous. After Li Weiyang took his seat, he heard the sound of drums, and all kinds of delicacies and wines came up like flowing water.

A hint of mockery appeared on Jiang Yuelan's calm face, and Sun Yanjun said in a low voice: "Looking at the scene in the palace, it has not been affected by the earthquake at all!" ”

Li Weiyang looked at a scene of singing and dancing, with a sneer in his eyes, but he didn't say a word. What is the suffering of the people in the eyes of those who are in power? Now that the warehouse has been opened to release grain, and people have been sent for disaster relief, the emperor can naturally celebrate the birthday of the queen mother with peace of mind. In addition, he had just forced back the 500,000 army in Mobei, and the emperor was probably in a very good mood at this time, who would dare to step forward at this time to accuse him of being too extravagant and wasteful?

The Queen Mother sat on a high seat, looking at everyone condescendingly, with a smile on her face. The emperor and empress accompanied on one side, while the favored Concubine Lian sat on the other side with a big belly, looking red and slightly plump, but her beauty was not affected by pregnancy at all.

Li Weiyang and Concubine Lian glanced at each other and nodded at her slightly. Only then did Concubine Lian put her mind at ease and accompanied the emperor gently and obediently, looking like an ordinary concubine. It's a pity that her otherworldly beauty and high bulging belly are destined to be the focus of everyone.

At this time, the prince stood up, first raised his glass to wish the Queen Mother a long life and good health, and then said: "This time, Concubine Jiang specially prepared a gift for the Queen Mother, please watch the Queen Mother." ”

The Queen Mother glanced at Concubine Jiang Shu, who was smiling dignified beside the prince, and said with a smile: "Oh, I don't know what kind of gift it is?" ”

Li Weiyang also looked at the crown prince and Jiang Lan, everyone's gifts were sent to the palace in advance, but Concubine Jiang Shu was ingenious, such a high-profile was not in line with her usual style. She hung her head, hiding a smile from her lips.

The prince clapped his palms, and then saw dozens of palace maids and eunuchs rushing in, carrying hundreds of pots of peony flowers, which attracted everyone in the hall to marvel for a while. Those green leaves are green and fresh, and the peony petals that are more lined with red, purple, and yellow are delicate, and Li Weiyang can smell the fragrance of peony flowers when he sits far away, which is fragrant and rich, and almost makes people drunk.

Everyone was amazed for a while, and even the Ninth Princess exclaimed: "These hundreds of pots of peony flowers have gathered almost all the peony varieties, and some rare varieties can't even compare to the peony flowers in the Imperial Garden!" It takes a lot of thought to bring so many peonies to Kyoto! ”

The emperor's face sank slightly, yes, after all, it was an eventful time, and holding this birthday banquet for the Queen Mother had been criticized by countless people in private, but the Queen Mother's birthday banquet coupled with the defeat of the Mobei army made him feel that he should do a special event, so that he could completely get rid of the country's bad luck recently. But he himself can be so extravagant, but he may not allow others to be so extravagant!

Concubine Jiang said softly: "Princess, I have heard for a long time that the Queen Mother likes peony flowers, so I gradually asked someone to select some outstanding varieties to be shipped to Kyoto three years ago, and then carefully recuperated, and slowly gathered so many varieties, just thinking that there is a chance to present them to the Queen Mother." ”

Since three years ago, I started to prepare, no wonder there is no news of the prince's mansion in Kyoto to collect peony flowers, one or two pots a month, it is really not an excessive thing, but it shows a different kind of filial piety. The emperor's face quickly relaxed, and the queen mother on the side asked: "After all, it's not the season for peony flowers to bloom, how do you do it?" "Although it is spring now, there are a lot of ordinary flowers, but the peony flowers have not yet reached the flowering period.

Jiang Lan's soft face showed a hint of redness, as if she was ashamed, and said: "Empress Dowager, I put all the peony flowers in the greenhouse, and then instructed the craftsman to burn the transparent glazed tiles to change the roof, and then raised the charcoal fire in the greenhouse, calculated the time when the flowers bloomed, or increased or decreased the charcoal fire, so that the flowers bloomed around the queen mother's birthday." The peony flowers on this hall can only be placed for more than half an hour at most, and then they must be withdrawn into the conservatory. If the queen mother still wants to watch, she can move it into the palace garden, but she must be covered with brocade curtains and charcoal fire around it, so that the peony flowers can bloom as if they were not afraid of the cold. ”

Everyone couldn't help but marvel, calculating the date and state of peony blooming, increasing and decreasing the charcoal fire, such a mind is really too ingenious, this Concubine Jiang Shu really knows how to put a lot of thought, and she has been preparing for the queen mother's preferences since three years ago, and she specially waited until now to take it out.

Sun Yanjun said in a low voice: "She just died of her relatives not long ago, why is she still smiling, it's really heartless." ”

Li Weiyang glanced at Jiang Lan, but said: "Since she has married into the royal family, she has nothing to do with her mother's family, even if her close relatives die, she must not be mourned, otherwise it will be disrespectful to the royal family." Since she came to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday today, she naturally has to smile brightly, do you want to cry and mourn, isn't this a slap in the face of the Queen Mother? That's why she's more patient than others. ”

Sun Yanjun looked at Li Weiyang in surprise, and then sighed. Indeed, since marrying into the royal family, if you wear linen and filial piety again, it is tantamount to cursing the royal family, and the daughter who usually marries can still mourn her parents, but if she marries a woman from the royal family in the Great Calendar, it is absolutely impossible, which in a sense, is absolutely exterminating.

The prince smiled: "Concubine Jiang did put a lot of thought into it, but I heard that the seventh brother came back from Mobei this time and also brought a gift for the queen mother, why not take it out for everyone to see?" ”

He obviously did it on purpose, Tuoba Yu went to war, not to choose gifts, how could he specially bring a birthday gift to the Queen Mother from Mobei? Clearly deliberately making things difficult for others, Li Weiyang raised her eyebrows, she wanted to see if Tuoba Yu knew how to deal with it.

At this time, Tuoba Yu stood up, but Junrong did not have a trace of anger, but said with a smile: "Concubine Jiang's heart is really rare, I did bring a gift, but it is too shabby compared to her heart, and I am embarrassed to take it out." ”

Everyone burst into laughter when they heard this, and the scene became lively. If it was usual, Tuoba Yu must have only cared about the war, and would not have thought of preparing gifts at all, this time even Li Weiyang felt strange, not knowing what the gift Tuoba Yu brought back while fighting the war was.

Tuoba Yu said with a smile: "This time I passed through Mobei, and the Mobei people fled in a hurry, but they left behind their specialty burning wine. This kind of wine has always been famous all over the world, but only the Mobei royal family has exclusive enjoyment, this time I brought back hundreds of jars from Mobei, enough for everyone to enjoy. ”

Li Weiyang couldn't help laughing, Tuoba Yu was joking, but he was not joking, the emperor in the stands was obviously a dragon heart and said: "Ask someone to present it." ”

So, Tuoba Yu ordered someone to distribute the burning wine to everyone, this wine just carried into the main hall, it exuded a clear fragrance, for a while far overwhelmed the rich and fragrant peony flowers, the prince's expression, instantly a little stiff, and then smiled: "Seventh brother, these jars of wine have sent everyone away, is it too casual?" ”

Tuoba Yu seemed to have expected him to say this, but smiled, and that smile looked confident and very charming at this moment: "Queen Mother, this time I went to the border, because the people were spared from the flames of war, and they were very grateful to my father and the Queen Mother for their protection, so I specially begged me to bring a gift and bring it back to Kyoto to present it." ”

When the emperor heard that it was a gift from the ordinary people on the border, he immediately became interested and said, "I still have to give me a gift from such a distance, I don't know what it is!" Let's bring it together! ”

Tuoba Yu had expected the emperor to be interested, he clapped his hands, and everyone saw a huge iron bed being carried up, the upper part of the iron bed was completely disassembled, and on the iron fork stood more than a dozen fat lambs, all of which were roasted to a golden brown. The prince sneered: "It is really too simple to give such a gift. ”

The emperor glared at him coldly, and said loudly: "The people send goose feathers thousands of miles away, and the courtesy is light and affectionate!" Come, bring the mutton. ”

The prince was robbed of a sentence for no reason, but suddenly thought that the emperor was happy for the smooth passage of the Mobei war, and saw that the people had traveled thousands of miles to send gifts, even if it was to send a handful of soil, the emperor would feel that it was the people's gratitude and reverence for him, but he poured cold water on the emperor at this time, no wonder he was stabbed for no reason, he looked at the emperor's cold eyes, his body shook, and he didn't dare to say more.

The eunuch immediately cut a piece of the best meat, put it on a gold plate and sent it to him, the emperor personally tasted it in front of everyone, and everyone was staring intently at the change in his expression, and then heard the emperor Longxin say with great joy: "It is the first time in these decades that I have tasted such a delicious taste, it is really delicious, and I will divide the mutton." ”

Soon, Li Weiyang also got a piece of roast mutton, she never liked to eat mutton, because it was too fat, but when she saw that the mutton was dripping with oil and flames, it was very fat, so she just tasted it, and was immediately surprised, this taste was completely different from the ordinary roast mutton in Kyoto, not only did not have the slightest smell, but also was surprisingly delicious and crispy.

Judging from the gifts, the things given by Tuoba Yu don't look as good as the flowery peonies, but the actual meaning is to choose more than it, which everyone present knows in their hearts. The prince's face became more and more gloomy because of this, and he glanced at Tuoba Zhen, but saw that the other party was just sitting and drinking with a flat expression, as if he was not aware of what was happening in the scene. He was ruthless, stood up, took a step forward, and said, "Father, my son has something to report." ”

The emperor chewed the mutton in his mouth, raised his head and looked at the crown prince, wondering why he was so cautious and his expression was so strict, could something bad happen?

Concubine Lian lowered her eyes slightly, as if she was ignorant of the impending danger.

Concubine Jiang Shu sneered, looked at the people with different expressions in the field, and finally landed on Li Weiyang's face. thought in his heart that when Concubine Lian was planted, many people would naturally be implicated, including Li Weiyang, and none of them would be able to escape. Li Weiyang is right, she doesn't care about the death of those people in the Jiang family at all, because they deserve to die! When she struggled in the Prince's Mansion with all her might, no one was willing to help her, on the contrary, they even joined forces with Tuoba Zhen to calculate something behind their backs, she was not a fool, and she would not be led by their noses! But in the same way, she will not forgive Li Weiyang, because this woman dared to humiliate her in front of her and poke her sore spots, and she absolutely, absolutely wanted to make her pay the price of blood!

The emperor frowned and said, "If there is anything, it doesn't hurt to speak out. ”

The prince gritted his teeth and said solemnly: "Three days ago, a woman suddenly stopped her son's guard of honor, saying that there was a great grievance and she wanted to ask me to redress my grievance. ”

The emperor's brows furrowed even tighter, this prince is really too ignorant, is it impossible to redress grievances in public on this occasion, he glanced at the queen mother, and saw that her face was also a little unhappy, and couldn't help but say: "This kind of thing is naturally handed over to Jing Zhaoyin to solve, you are a prince, it is better to focus more on government affairs, and don't overstep your responsibilities." ”

When the emperor said this, he was clearly blaming the prince, and as a monarch, of course, he didn't have to take care of any bullshit, and it was clearly out of place for the prince to mention any grievances on such a grand occasion. The Queen Mother did not get angry in public, it is already a kind of grace, if he still doesn't know how to lift, if he wants to continue, I am afraid that the emperor and the Queen Mother will be blamed, but things have come to this point, the prince has no way to retreat, he was ruthless, and said loudly: "Of course, the sons know that this matter should not be said here, but if there is no testimony from the father, the queen mother, and all the ministers, I think Jing Zhaoyin will definitely not have the courage to judge this case." ”

The emperor's face was gloomy, and the more he looked at the prince, the more he couldn't suppress the anger that had been suppressed in his heart, but after hearing this, he couldn't help but glance at the queen mother. What kind of case can't even be broken by Jing Zhaoyin?

The Queen Mother obviously still attaches great importance to the crown prince, she sighed lightly and said, "Since the prince has said so, let's finish it." ”

The crown prince finally strengthened his courage and said loudly: "That woman is not suing anyone else, it is the lotus concubine in front of her who is greatly favored with a dragon heir!" ”

As soon as the words came out, the whole hall was shocked. Everyone thought to themselves how something happened to every banquet, this kind of royal banquet, everyone simply had to carry their own heads to participate, and if one was not careful, he would have to pay for it! Everyone's eyes looked at Concubine Lian, but when they saw a blank, innocent, and shocked look on her face, they said in surprise: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, what do you mean by this?" ”

The prince glanced at her coldly, and when his eyes fell on her stomach, he became more and more resentful: "Father, that woman claims that she is the real Leng Youlian, and her identity and origin are true, and the Concubine Lotus in front of her actually used her identity!" ”

Li Weiyang looked at this play coldly, and shook his head lightly, the identity of Concubine Lian has always been a problem, and one day it will be involved. Maybe sooner or later, but this day, she expected it from the beginning. glanced at the other side, and his gaze was exactly the same as that of Tuoba Zhen.

Takuba Zhen stared into her eyes and smiled. It was a mysterious and eerie smile that was creepy to watch.

He was going to kill her, and she lowered her eyes, and this time, he didn't have the slightest affection. If the crown prince is asked to prove Concubine Lian's true identity, then the so-called rescue of Concubine Lian last time will become a joke, and she came to the emperor incognito, the fundamental purpose must be to avenge the Murong family. You don't have to think about it to know that Zhou Dashou and the Seventh Prince Tuoba Yu are the ones who pushed Concubine Lian to the emperor's side, what kind of ending awaits them? As for Li Weiyang, of course, he can't run away, because those people will try their best to connect Concubine Lian with her, and when the time comes, they will always have a way to tell Concubine Lian the truth. In the past, Concubine Lian may not have any weaknesses, but now that she is pregnant, she will soon be a mother, and she will say anything in order to protect her child. Even if she was made to admit that Li Weiyang was also involved in the conspiracy - this was the purpose of Tuoba Zhen.

is really a cruel and ruthless man, once he really makes up his mind, he wants to put her to death. Li Weiyang involuntarily sighed again, no matter how she avoided it, he would not let her go. Because he fell in love with her, and she didn't want to obey him, he was also full of hatred for her. If you can't get it, you'd rather destroy it, these royal people, one is more terrible than the other.

The Queen Mother was completely stunned, looked at Concubine Lian, who also looked inexplicable beside her, and said, "She is not Leng Youlian, who could she be?" ”

The crown prince seemed to have found a kind of strength, a power to defeat his opponent and put him to death, and he said loudly: "Father, do you remember the Murong clan that assassinated you in the first place? Concubine Lian is the princess of the Murong clan, Murong Xin! ”

The emperor and the empress dowager were both taken aback, and they looked at Concubine Lian's face, and suddenly there was a hint of surprise.

Concubine Lian stood up, the expression on her face was as cold as a layer of ice, but two lines of tears quickly flowed under her eyes, dragging them all the way to her chin, and her eyes were full of grief and resentment: "Your Majesty, the concubine really doesn't know where to offend the prince, and she wants to be wronged like this!" ”

The emperor looked at Concubine Lian and suddenly remembered what happened yesterday. In fact, he has not been in good health recently, and he was still on the sickbed two days ago, and Concubine Lian has been waiting by his side. Although she was pregnant, she never wanted to take a break, and even more refused to hand over the responsibility of taking care of him to others, even if he fell asleep, she liked to sit by and accompany him, which made him very happy and moved.

But yesterday evening, when he woke up, he saw Concubine Lian alone with red eyes, and he couldn't help but say, "Concubine Lian, what's wrong with you?" ”

Concubine Lian's expression at that time was so frightened, nervous, and uneasy, she seemed to be still deep in thought, and there were words in her mouth: "It's the prince, the prince is ......."

There was a thunderclap in his head, Huo Di sat up, and shouted angrily with all his might: "What did you say? How about the Prince? ”

Concubine Lian's expression became more and more sad, and countless tears appeared in her eyes: "Your Majesty, I, I ......"

"Tell me, you...... What the hell did the prince do! "People who are sick are always very sensitive, not to mention the appearance of Concubine Lian, he can't help but think of what the prince has done!

"Prince...... Ah, no, it's the prince who is rude...... I saw it, Your Majesty, I, no, the concubine didn't see it on purpose......" Concubine Lian's lips squirmed, clumsy and stiff, she wanted to cover up, as if she wanted to exonerate the prince, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't seem to speak.

There was no need to ask any more, the Emperor understood in his heart, and he said angrily, "What the hell did that beast do!" ”

Concubine Lian's face was even more uneasy, but she still put a qiē and a plate out: "The crown prince and the new Zhang Meiren who entered the palace, they ...... They...... The concubine had no intention of passing by just now...... I accidentally saw ...... The prince is afraid that he will be jealous of the concubines, and his majesty must save the concubines! The concubine is worried that if this matter is broken, one day the prince will kill me! ”

The prince and Zhang Meiren?! That soft, weak, and beautiful new beauty?! The emperor's mind seemed to explode all at once.

In fact, Concubine Lian can't say that she wronged Zhang Meiren, because before Zhang entered the palace, she did have a relationship with the prince, and after entering the palace, the two occasionally had some contact, but it was not cheating, but the prince wanted Zhang Meiren to find out the news from the emperor. To put it bluntly, Zhang Meiren is just a spy sent by the prince to the emperor, no different from ordinary spies, the only difference is that she is a beauty, and when Concubine Lian is pregnant and can't sleep, she replaces her as the new favorite beauty, such a woman actually has a relationship with the prince, and was broken by Concubine Lian on the spot, how can the emperor not be angry? ! So he beat his fist on the chest and shouted in grief: "Beast! Beasts are not as good as beasts! How can such an animal be entrusted with great things! Then he shouted outside the temple, "Come! ”

At that time, Concubine Lian cried and begged, and said: "Your Majesty, the crown prince is the future prince, if he confronts the concubine in public, the concubine cannot come up with conclusive evidence, because except for the palace maid around the concubine, no one has seen this at all, and no one can prove it for the concubine!" Others will only think that the concubine will deliberately frame her because she is jealous of Zhang Meimei, but His Majesty knows the concubine, how can I be the kind of person who is resentful because of the competition for favor?! The crown prince has already threatened his concubines, and if there is a single word to tell him, he must kill his concubines! I'm afraid that if His Majesty recruits the prince, it will be an opportunity for the concubine to die! ”

The emperor, after his rage, gradually calmed down. Indeed, there is no evidence in this matter, and the crown prince cannot be convicted, but it will make him bite Concubine Lian back. Looking at the tearful beauty in front of him, he believed her, because since Concubine Lian entered the palace, she had never done a bad thing, and she was not even jealous, but she generously recommended a lot of beauties for the emperor...... Therefore, the prince must really collude with the Zhang family.

Thinking about it, the emperor didn't want to replace the prince immediately, and there was no conclusive evidence, plus the queen mother's birthday was imminent, so nothing could happen at this time, so he finally listened to Concubine Lian's words and did not pursue the prince, but ordered someone to quietly monitor the beauty, and sure enough, he found that there was a connection between her and the prince, so that the prince's crime became more and more confirmed. Not only that, the emperor already had the idea of abolishing the prince in his heart, but he hadn't taken action yet.

Originally, the atmosphere was so good today, and the emperor had almost forgotten the anger and unhappiness of a few days ago, but after Concubine Lian's words, he suddenly remembered everything. Yes, because the prince was bumped into by Concubine Lian, he was afraid that she would come to complain, and threatened her in every possible way, it seems that this time the prince wants Concubine Lian's life...... His gaze swept over the prince's face, but it became colder and colder.

This son is too confused! first had an affair with the concubines in his harem, and then wanted Concubine Lian's life, which was really bold.

Sun Yanjun's eyes slowly became frightened, she grabbed Li Weiyang's hand, and whispered, "This ...... What the hell is going on? She felt that something bad was about to happen.

Li Weiyang patted her hand lightly and said in a low voice: "Don't be afraid, it's okay." ”

Sun Yanjun looked at Li Weiyang, I don't know why, every time I see her calm and relaxed appearance, I naturally feel that my heart is settled, maybe the other party has this kind of magical magic, which can make people feel that she has the ability to solve any trouble.

Li Weiyang's eyes fell on the crown prince, but he saw him becoming more and more imposing: "Queen Mother, please invite the woman who complained to the palace!" ”

The queen mother's eyes fell on the emperor's body, it was an inquiring look, the emperor sneered, and said: "Queen Mother, since the prince is so fair, let that woman come to the palace, I want to see how Concubine Lian stole her identity and how she got into the palace!" ”

Tuoba Yu looked at him coldly and said nothing, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.

Leng Youlian had been ordered by the prince to wait in the side hall, and at this time she was brought up, and when she got to the main hall, she saw many high-ranking officials and dignitaries gathered together, especially Murong Xin, who was also there, couldn't help but let out a low cry and fainted. After being woken up in a hurry, she just stood in a daze, her face pale, her legs trembling, obviously frightened.

The Queen Mother looked at Concubine Lian and said slowly: "Concubine Lian, do you know this person?" ”

Concubine Lian glanced at her, and couldn't help frowning: "She is the maid of the concubine, she stayed in the Leng family for a period of time because she fled the famine, and the concubine saw that she was helpless, so she took her in, but then the concubine's parents passed away, and the Leng family could no longer afford to raise too many slaves, so the concubine sold the house, gave her some entanglement, and let her make a living by herself, but I didn't expect that there would be a day to meet today." ”

The crown prince bowed his head and said: "Very good, Concubine Lian at least did not deny that she knew this woman in public, in that case, Leng, you repeat your words that day again, so that Your Majesty, the Queen Mother and everyone can hear it clearly." ”

Leng kowtowed again and again, begging for mercy and didn't dare. The emperor looked at her coldly, and then looked at the crown prince, who said: "There is a father and the queen mother who are in charge of you, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Leng lowered her head, her voice as light as a mosquito, and repeated her lines. The prince said sharply: "Be louder! Leng was startled, and hurriedly repeated aloud all the things he had said in the study.

Tuoba Zhen sneered, Concubine Lian, Tuoba Yu, Li Weiyang, none of you can run. Even if Concubine Lian's charges cannot be confirmed today, the seeds of doubt in the emperor's heart have already been planted!

Concubine Lian was furious, pointed at the Leng clan and said, "Ah Jie, how dare you spew blood?" The Queen Mother stopped her and said, "Don't talk about right and wrong, it's not too late to refute after listening." ”

Leng was so frightened by Concubine Lian that his face turned pale, and he finally finished speaking. The Queen Mother frowned, thinking of the assassination at the beginning, she couldn't help but look unkind, for all those who tried to hurt her son, she would become very harsh and terrifying, at this moment, on her face, there was no longer a smile on her face: "Concubine Lian!" What do you explain? ”

Concubine Lian had tears on her face, and she looked unexpected, and defended: "Queen Mother, this woman's real name is Ah Jie, and she is the maidservant next to the concubine. However, after the concubine entered the palace, she once tried to cling to the concubine, but because of the strict palace ban and the law, the concubine also heard the palace eunuch Wang Jin mentioned it recently, if the queen mother does not believe it, you can go to check to see if the concubine is lying. ”

The prince was stunned, when did the Leng family actually run to the gate of the palace to find Concubine Lian? And also denied? glanced at the Leng family, but saw that her face really showed a weak expression, and couldn't help but feel secretly annoyed, it seems that this woman is a longwang shu, and wants to blackmail from Concubine Lian first, but she can't see Concubine Lian, so she found Tuoba Zhen! He couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Concubine Lian, how do you know that she is here to cling to you, maybe she doesn't know that you are impersonating her identity and wants to ask the truth!" ”

Concubine Lian hurriedly said: "Queen Mother Mingjian, the concubine was originally born poor, and once she was rich, and this woman was not allowed to cling, so she held a grudge, and she was bewitched by the prince for some reason, so she reversed black and white, and added evil words, her words could not be trusted at all!" ”

The Leng clan immediately defended: "At the beginning, Concubine Lian, as the princess of the Murong clan, was very clear about the slaves and maids, from the diet to the temperament and habits, if the queen mother didn't believe it, she could interrogate the slaves and maids carefully!" There are many things that even His Majesty doesn't know! ”

Concubine Lian immediately sneered and said, "You naturally know my living habits very well, I'm afraid you even know where the birthmarks on my body are, but it's all because you have stayed by my side, what's so strange about knowing this?" She seemed so anxious and anxious that she had forgotten what she claimed.

In the eyes of the prince, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and he vaguely felt that Concubine Lian was forced to a dead end by him! Immediately said loudly: "Father, what the Leng clan said is definitely not nonsense, according to what she said, Concubine Lian is Princess Murong, and her father once said loudly before he died, even if I have only one daughter left in the Murong clan, I will die in the world of the Tuoba clan!" That's why she pretended to be Leng Youlian's identity and specially entered the palace to accompany her father, the real purpose is to destroy my country! If the father does not believe it, the Leng family has already said that there is a sign of a seven-star dark lotus on the waist of Concubine Lian, which is the royal family emblem of the Murong family, although Murong Xin has entered the palace, he will never remove the symbol, because only with a special potion can the sign appear, if the father and the queen mother do not believe it, they can check it! ”

Concubine Lian's face turned pale, and she was almost unable to cry: "Your Majesty, why did the prince frame the concubine, you know it in your heart, if you don't believe in the concubine, you might as well let me die in front of the palace!" Saying that, she had already stood up, and the emperor was just about to speak, but the Queen Mother made a gesture, and the female officials next to her immediately stopped her, and the Queen Mother frowned and said, "What are you doing?" Others don't know the truth, they will only think that you are committing suicide in fear of sin! ”

Zhou Dashou stood up at this time and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Concubine Lian Niangniang is a fairy who was entrusted by heaven and a mortal body, and was sent to His Majesty by the Emperor of Heaven, and now she has been framed inexplicably, and she has really suffered a great grievance, since they keep saying that Concubine Lian is the remnant of the Murong royal family, it is better to let the female official retreat and check it carefully, and see if there is a way to make Concubine Lian's identity revealed to the world!" ”

The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows, looked at Concubine Lian and said, "What do you think?" ”

Concubine Lian no longer looked for death and life, but said with tears in her eyes: "The concubine is willing to give it a try and prove her innocence." After Concubine Lian followed the female official to the screen, the imperial doctor also followed, if there was really any invisible mark, the imperial doctor naturally had a way to make it appear.

But when Tuoba Zhen saw that Concubine Lian agreed to inspect so easily, his face changed slightly, and he couldn't help but look at Li Weiyang opposite, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes, could it be that the other party had already taken precautions?

Li Weiyang smiled at him, but he looked away. At this point, I really want to thank Jiang Yuelan for reporting in advance, if she hadn't told Concubine Lian to remove the mark on her waist in advance, today's incident would be really troublesome. The royal families of various countries have more or less unknown habits, such as this Murong clan, all the children have to tattoo the seven-star lotus tattoo on the hidden part of the body, and they can appear with a potion, if the lotus concubine is caught on the spot today, it will be irretrievable.

Sure enough, when Concubine Lotus came out, the imperial doctor also said loudly: "Back to Your Majesty, Concubine Lotus does not have the mark of the so-called seven-star dark lotus. ”

As soon as these words came out, not to mention the Leng family, even the prince's face changed, becoming iron blue, and then pale. Then, Tuoba Yu stood up and said loudly: "The prince has a witness, but the testimony of this witness is really upside down, as if it is concealed, and Concubine Lian has no Murong royal imprint on her body at all, but it is difficult to say." ”

The prince looked up, but he didn't know whether it was because of his mistake or anger, his eyes were already red, and he was almost about to have a seizure. Tuoba Zhen hurriedly stopped his eyes, and then preemptively said, "I don't know what you think, seventh brother?" ”

Tuoba Yu's face was handsome and cold: "If the Queen Mother is still suspicious, we will naturally have it!" ”

The Queen Mother snorted coldly and said, "Okay, pass it on again." ”

The two witnesses brought with me this time were surprising. The older one was a boy, seven or eight years old, and the other was a girl, only four or five years old, holding the boy's hand and holding on to it, and his dark eyes were full of panic. The people who escorted them were tall palace guards, and they were even weaker because of this. When Leng Shi saw it, his face turned pale, and he cried and wanted to run over, but he was grabbed by the guards on the side: "In front of Your Majesty, how can you be rude!" ”

Leng gave up, she could only lie on the ground, looking at her pair of children without stopping, trying her best to pretend that nothing happened, but tears kept flowing.

The Queen Mother ordered someone to silence the Leng family, and said, "Seventh Prince, what do you mean by this?" ”

Tuoba Yu replied: "Summoning this person to testify is to prove that this woman who testifies to the identity of Concubine Lian is actually lying!" If you don't believe it, the Queen Mother can ask these two children! ”

In fact, when he saw these two children, Tuoba Zhen's expression suddenly changed and became faintly pale. When he tried his best to find Leng's family, he couldn't move her to testify according to what he said. Because Leng is just a short-sighted woman, and she has no lofty ideals, she just hopes to support her whole family. In order to get her to agree, Tuoba Zhen promised a lot of money—she would not earn that much money in her lifetime, and with this money, she, her husband, who was a petty officer, and her children would never suffer again—he lured her to the prince's mansion, because she was not good at words, and even found someone to help her sort out her lines and let her memorize them, so that she could say a qiē step by step in front of His Majesty. Although it is the truth, it is indeed the truth after Tuoba Zhen's modification.

But the Leng family is not stupid after all, following Murong Xin's side, she naturally knows that these royal people had better turn their faces and be ruthless, so she kept a hand and deliberately asked her husband to secretly hide this pair of children, and even refused to reveal their whereabouts no matter how Tuoba Zhen asked, for fear that they would fall into the hands of Tuoba Zhen, and when the time came, the other party would use this child to threaten himself to testify, and he would not pay the promised heavy money.

It can be said that Leng still has scheming, and she knows that she can't trust the person in front of her too much. But unfortunately, she underestimated Tuoba Zhen, and soon, he sent someone to find the pair of children......

At this moment, Tuoba Zhen, who had originally counted a qiē, had his fingers trembling faintly, and while he clenched the wine glass, a trace of coldness appeared in his eyes.

He was nervous, every time he was nervous, his lips would tremble slightly, but at the same time, the smile on his face would become more and more calm, Li Weiyang sneered, it seemed that he knew what was going on.

Sure enough, I heard Tuoba Yu say in a cold voice: "Ah Ming, Ah Yu, you tell your mother well, what happened, and where did your father go?" ”

Ah Yuwa cried out, Ah Ming's eyes showed pain, big tears flowed down, and he cried loudly to Leng's family: "Mother, dad called someone to kill!" Daddy called someone to kill! It was this brother who saved me and my sister! "He was not very old, but he spoke very smartly, and although he was choked, he was very clear.

It couldn't be clearer anymore, Leng's expression became extremely frightened at this moment, and she suddenly looked at Tuoba Zhen, because she had realized what the other party had done, and the other party was going to hunt down and kill her husband and children! No, or they wanted to catch them and control them to prevent any betrayal of themselves, but they caused the death of their husbands!

Leng's guess was right, Tuoba Zhen's original purpose was to catch her family and take the opportunity to firmly control her in the palm of his hand, of course, it was also for the need to never suffer afterwards, but the people he sent were discovered by Tuoba Yu early, in order not to reveal the news, his people killed Leng's husband first, and the children disappeared into the woods...... Tuoba Zhen thought that these two children were dead, but he didn't expect that the other party would find these two life-saving children from Orion's hands...... How is it possible, why are these two children still alive! It even reached the palm of Tuoba Yu's hand!

Tuoba Yu scolded sharply: "Don't you still understand? The person who bought you to frame Concubine Lian behind his back wanted to kill your husband and children, and now, do you still want to cover up the evidence for him?! ”

Leng Shi was startled, her face was extremely panicked, looking at a pair of children who were almost fainting in pain, she subconsciously glanced up at Concubine Lian, but saw a few tears in her eyes, Leng thought of Murong Xin's kindness and care for her, and then thought that she betrayed her old master because of gold and silver, and then her husband was killed because of her greed...... I couldn't help but feel sad and cried loudly.

Above the hall, her cry flowed, and the terrible voice made people unbearable to listen to it suddenly.

Li Weiyang shook his head slightly, Concubine Lian did not murder Leng's parents, on the contrary, she quietly took them away and raised them, but how did Leng's repay her? Such a human heart is really terrifying! If it weren't for Li Minde who discovered the traces of these two children earlier and sent them to Tuoba Yu in time, even these two children would have been killed by Tuoba Zhen now.

After Tuoba Zhen got rid of Concubine Lian, he didn't plan to leave the Leng clan at all, needless to say that it was him, and even the emperor would not leave the Leng clan...... She was already doomed to death, but she was blinded by money, and with a little cleverness, she actually wanted to talk about business with Tuoba Zhen......

The hall was silent, and the Leng clan suddenly screamed: "It's the third prince!" It was the prince who bribed me to perjury! He was the one who gave me a hundred taels of gold and made up those words for me to speak! A qiē is all made by him! ”
