177. Chapter 177: A Plan for Regeneration
"How do you know if you don't try?" Yuxiang said, "If Ru Boyuan is sensible, he will naturally not help Concubine Yan......" While the three of them were talking, a palace maid came in and reported: "Concubine Yan Niangniang asks to see her." ”
Bailiyan has been hearing Concubine Yan's name since he went to court, and when he heard that she asked to see her, he didn't want to see her, so he said, "Let her go back, and say that I am discussing important matters with the queen mother." ”
The palace maid was trying to get up and go out, and as soon as she turned around, she saw Concubine Yan walking in despite the palace maid's obstruction, she walked confidently and stepped forward and said: "The concubine asks the emperor for peace, and for the queen mother." ”
Bailiyan was angry in his heart, but he didn't dare to attack, and he held back his anger and said, "What's the matter? ”
Concubine Yan replied: "Your Majesty, the crown prince knows about the queen's affairs, and he should be guilty of the same crime as the queen." ”
When the queen was beaten into the cold palace, Baili Yan wanted to intercede, but was warned by Bai Liyan, saying that blood is thicker than water, even if the queen is wrong, but Bai Li Yan is the heir cultivated by Bai Li Yan after all, and he can't bear to cure Bai Liyan's sin, so he wants to turn a big thing into a small thing, and a small thing into a small thing, but he didn't expect Concubine Yan to mention it again.
Bailiyan said calmly on the surface: "The curse is the queen's matter alone, and it has nothing to do with the crown prince, and I have made this matter very clear." ”
"Your Majesty, the people who helped the queen make zuò puppets and bury the puppets were all done by Xiao Hezi, the inner servant of the inner chamberlain."
"What does this have to do with the crown prince?" Bailiyan asked.
Concubine Yan said: "Xiao Hezi was killed last night, the person who killed him was the prince, the prince wanted to overturn the case for the queen, the first one was to kill Xiao Hezi, there is no proof of death, and then find a way to clear the queen's name, if the prince doesn't know about the curse, how can he know about Xiao Hezi?" How could he kill Kowako? ”
Concubine Yan was bent on bringing down Bailiyan, and what she said was full of loopholes, she and Bailiyan were both insiders, but the Queen Mother and Yuxiang were outsiders, and the Queen Mother listened to it and said: "How do you know that it is a puppet buried by Xiaohezi?" And who told you to listen? ”
Concubine Yan was stunned for a moment, Fang Jue spoke too fast, and calmed down for a while before saying, "The palace maids and attendants in the palace have seen Xiao Hezi often go to Xiangyun Palace. ”
The Queen Mother said: "Gonggong Lu also often goes to Xiangyun Palace, why don't you say that he buried the puppet?" ”
"Gonggong Lu goes during the day, and Xiao Hezi often goes at night, just the night before the Seven Princes got married, there were palace maids who saw Xiao Hezi wandering in the courtyard of Xiangyun Palace, and Xiao Hezi was killed by the prince, so the concubine suspected that this matter had nothing to do with the prince."
"You said that Xiaohezi was killed by the prince, what evidence is there?" "If there is no evidence, I will punish you for the crime of spreading rumors." ”
Concubine Yan smiled faintly, as if waiting for this sentence, she took out a jade pendant from her sleeve and handed it over: "Can the emperor recognize this jade pendant?" ”
Gonggong Lu took the jade pendant and handed it to Bailiyan, Bailiyan turned over the back, and saw the word "interpretation" engraved on the back, so he knew that this jade pendant was Bailiyan's personal thing.
The Queen Mother stretched out her head to look, her brows tightened, and asked, "Isn't this jade pendant the prince's?" ”
"Exactly." Concubine Yan smiled and said, "This jade pendant was picked up in Xiao Hezi's house, so the concubine said that it was the prince who killed Xiao Hezi." ”
When the Queen Mother heard this, she looked at Bailiyan, who held the jade pendant tightly, not knowing what to do with it, so the Queen Mother said: "With a piece of jade pendant, how can you prove that the person must have been killed by the prince?" ”
"Queen Mother, this jade pendant is the prince's personal belongings, the prince is a person who practices martial arts, who can get close to him and take the jade pendant away from his body? The only thing that can be explained is that this jade pendant was dropped by himself at the scene, which is ironclad evidence. ”
This jade pendant is something that Baili Yan never leaves his body, and Bailiyan has no choice but to say to Lu Gong: "Little Luzi, you go and pass the prince over." ”
Father-in-law Lu answered and walked out.
Concubine Yan raised a smile between her eyebrows.
As soon as Concubine Yan came in, Yuxiang looked at Concubine Yan carefully, the queen had just been beaten into the cold palace, and Concubine Yan immediately listed the charges of a hundred miles, what her mind was, fools understand.
Seeing that Yuxiang had been staring at her, Concubine Yan put away the smile on her face, sat aside, and quietly waited for Baili Yi to come over and confront her.
Yu Xiang looked at her fake and serious appearance, so he asked with a smile: "If Xiao Hezi was really killed by the prince, then in your opinion, how can you be guilty?" ”
As soon as Yuxiang's words came out, he provoked Bailiyan's angry glare, and Yuxiang winked at Bailiyan, signaling him to be calm and calm.
Concubine Yan didn't see Yuxiang and Bailiyan's eyebrows, and followed Yuxiang's words and said: "The prince and the queen cursed the emperor, and their crimes can be punished, and they will abolish the prince." ”
"What about after the abolition of the crown prince? The imperial brother is no longer young, and this Qi country can't be without a prince for a day. Yuxiang then asked, what Concubine Yan was going to say next, she could think of it.
If in normal times, someone dares to say that Bailiyan is not young, he will definitely be angry, at this time, Yuxiang's words did not make him unhappy, but glanced at Yuxiang gratefully, this girl is really a woman who does not let her eyebrows, not only bold, but also dare to say.
Concubine Yan raised her eyebrows and glanced at Bailiyan, found that his expression was calm, and then looked at the Queen Mother, who just listened carefully, and said to Yuxiang without saying a word: "How can the prince inherit the great cause if he is disloyal and unfilial?" There are countless princes under the emperor's knees, and there is always one who can take on the big responsibility, and the emperor can consult with hundreds of officials to see which prince is the most suitable candidate. ”
"Hundred officials?" Yuxiang smiled sarcastically, "The current Qi country is no longer the original Qi country, and the civil and military officials will not listen to the emperor if they listen to your Mu family." Yuxiang stood up as he spoke.
As soon as her voice fell, Concubine Yan looked at Bai Liyan sternly, got up and knelt down and said in fear: "Your Majesty, the concubines have no two hearts for the emperor, and my father is also loyal to the emperor. ”
Thinking of the events of the early dynasty, Bailiyan was still angry, so he said: "Use hundreds of officials to suppress me, this is loyalty to me?" A good one. ”
"The concubine doesn't understand what the emperor means." Concubine Yan bowed her head and said, Bailiyan snorted lightly and asked, "You really want to be the queen of this country, and you still want Yang'er to be the prince, I am not wrong, right?" ”
Concubine Yan hurriedly shook her head and said: "Your Majesty, the concubines definitely don't have such thoughts, everything the concubines do is for the sake of the emperor and the Qi country, who the emperor wants to appoint is the emperor's will, how dare the concubines have extravagant hopes?" And the establishment of the crown prince is a national matter, and it is not something that the concubines can interfere with. ”
Bailiyan slapped his seat when he heard this, so frightened that Concubine Yan secretly trembled, Bailiyan walked in front of Concubine Yan, and said coldly: "This morning, under the instigation of your father, hundreds of civil and military officials have written to you to be the queen, you say, how do I decide this matter?" ”
