Chapter 539: Deadly Evidence
Now that Xiao Jinxuan's sudden appearance has made a big mess, the baby exchange plan has been exposed in person.
In this kind of situation where she was holding a baby boy in her arms and couldn't come up with a reasonable explanation at all, Empress Xue couldn't help but make the last move was to move out of the identity of the queen mother and prepare to forcibly drive Xiao Jinxuan out of Fengxiang Palace first.
Then after she got a chance to breathe, she would quickly pass the news to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and then unite with the remaining forces of the Xue family in the previous dynasty, but it was still extremely considerable, to suppress this matter of changing the baby as much as possible.
But when Empress Xue relied on the fact that she was the highest ranking in the audience, she was quite confident to ask who dared to disobey her will.
Suddenly, I saw behind Xiao Jinxuan and the others, and there was an extremely angry and slightly disdainful laugh at the entrance of the courtyard.
Because this voice is quite quiet now, everyone around is forced by Empress Xue's identity and strength, and it seems extremely abrupt when he does not speak, so he can't help but attract everyone to look over.
And when everyone looked at it and wondered who it was, they dared not to take Empress Xue in their eyes like this.
saw Xiao Jinxuan's father-in-law, King Yongchang, and walked in from outside the courtyard gate.
As for Empress Xue, who will also recognize King Yongchang, she was still domineering just now, and she was obviously arrested for changing her baby, but she actually pressured Xiao Jinxuan with her identity, intending to force the other party away, but now her pupils with a panicked look in her eyes suddenly tightened.
Especially when Empress Xue saw that this was held in the hands of King Yongchang and held in the middle of her chest, her face became even more ugly.
In front of Xiao Jinxuan and Shen Wenqing and other juniors, Empress Xue can also rely on her identity and forcibly blow people away without shame.
But this set of methods, put on the body of King Yongchang, I am afraid it is difficult to start.
After all, King Yongchang is the elder brother of the late Emperor Ming, and he is the first of the vassal kings.
When it comes to royal qualifications, although he is not as noble as Xue Yi of the queen mother, he is definitely more virtuous and respected than the other party.
And what made Empress Xue feel jealous the most was the ring ruler in the hand of Zhou Youchang, the king of Yongchang.
After all, this ruler was the imperial reward given by the other party after Emperor Ming ascended the throne and King Yongchang assisted the emperor's younger brother to stabilize the political situation.
And at the beginning, Emperor Ming made it very clear in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military that the reason why this ruler was given to King Yongchang was that he was afraid that after ascending to the base number of years, when he would be slack off and loose in the throne for a long time, this royal brother could punish him severely with the ruler of the heavens.
Therefore, even if the first emperor did something wrong, he could punish the ruler, and now even if Empress Xue is in a noble position, suppressed by the identity of the royal family of King Yongchang, and the deterrent power of the precept ruler, those words of intimidation and expulsion Xue Yi can no longer speak.
And until now, Empress Xue has actually seen that Xiao Jinxuan is prepared to come, otherwise even King Yongchang would not have appeared here.
On the other hand, on her side, the witness did not kill in time, and it was even more difficult to give a reasonable explanation for the baby boy in her arms.
For a while, Empress Xue fell into a passivity that she had never experienced, and her heart was filled with a feeling that the general trend was gone.
As for Xiao Jinxuan, she asked Zhuxin to send a total of three letters out of the palace, one of which was sent to the Yongchang Palace.
What Xiao Jinxuan said in the letter was to ask Zhou Youchang, the stepfather, to enter the palace and secretly live in Zhou Xianrui's dormitory, and appear in time when necessary, and help her suppress Empress Xue as a royal clansman.
And Xiao Jinxuan saw that Shi Cai was still relying on her identity and was found out about the baby exchange on the spot, but Empress Xue, who was still domineering, was completely suppressed in front of King Yongchang, who was holding the ring ruler.
Immediately, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help but greet the righteous father of King Yongchang with gratitude, and then looked at Xue Hou and said in a condensed voice:
"The Queen Mother, in fact, you should also know in your heart, if I, Xiao Jinxuan, are not sure of nine out of ten, how dare I lead someone to break into your Fengxiang Palace. And regardless of the baby change, the guards I brought with me at the palace gate just resisted to the death, and the number of moves is a Yeying warrior. Xue Yi, as the Empress Dowager of the Great Zhou, vainly trying to secretly manipulate the royal heirs is already a big crime that needs to be deprived of your phoenix robe after the abolition. Now you are unclear with Yeyingguo, and you have committed the crime of treason again. What the Queen Mother put in front of you is now the only way to redeem your sins by dying, after all, I don't need you to be so vicious and ambitious as the Queen Mother of the East Palace. ”
The two major sins that Xiao Jinxuan told were immediately like two mountains, and after listening to the smashed Empress Xue, even if she tried her best to keep her composure, she still stumbled and almost fell to the ground unsteadily.
Waiting until Empress Xue was in tears on the side, Zuo Wen, who was looking at her with great worry, was hugged.
Seeing that Xue Yi was powerless to return to the sky tonight, he immediately couldn't help laughing, and then said with Feng Yi's undiminished bearing:
"Xiao Jinxuan, you are indeed the nemesis of this future and this life, it's ridiculous that I Xue Yi thought that tonight was a good opportunity given to me by God, but it was not a trap you set with a medicinal bath as bait. When I show my feet, you will bite the back of the throat and kill me. Xiao Jinxuan, you are really smart enough, and you are also ruthless enough, and your skills are not as good as others. But even if this queen makes a big mistake, who of you really dares to abolish my position as the queen mother of the East Palace. Don't forget that behind me Xue Yi, there is also the entire Prime Minister's Mansion supporting Ben Hou. The Great Zhou Wenchen did his best to go out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, this sentence is not groundless. You can take me down, but if you dare to do anything, then we will see if the Manchu civil and military will agree. ”
I can take the strength of my mother's house. Dominating the harem for so many years is in itself something that Xue Yi is extremely proud of.
Now seeing that the impact of the baby swap on her is irreparable, Xue Yi simply lifted the Prime Minister out directly, the arrogant attitude of being smug and not taking the royal family in his eyes.
Immediately, King Yongchang, who was present, was angry, and raised the Ring Heaven Ruler to step forward and personally tell Xue Yi whose world this Great Zhou is.
But at this moment, I suddenly saw a large number of imperial guards pouring in outside the gate of Xue Yuyan's dormitory, and surrounded by their guards, Zhou Xianrui's figure wearing a bright yellow dragon robe was clearly revealed against the backdrop of torches.
And there was still a person standing next to Zhou Xianrui, it was Su Qin, who was three months pregnant, and this Su concubine's face at the moment showed a trace of excitement and joy that could not be concealed.
As for Zhou Xianrui, the current king of the Great Zhou, when he arrived near everyone, he first glanced at Xiao Jinxuan beside him, and saw that the other party was safe and sound, and the worry in his eyes when he came in was gone.
Immediately afterwards, I saw Zhou Xianrui looking at Empress Xue again, and then his face was even more serious, and he said calmly with the aura of the Ninety-Five:
"Since the Queen Mother thinks that your Xue family is solid in the Great Zhou, then I am here to tell you now that I, Zhou Xianrui, the Prime Minister, not only want to move, but also completely uproot your Xue family. Your Xue family's qi is exhausted, you can't live in the Xue family's Fengxiang Palace, I have prepared a place for you in the heavenly prison, you can move there now. ”
As soon as I heard that, Zhou Xianrui, the king of a country, actually said that he wanted to eradicate the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Empress Xue understands the character of this new emperor, and has always said the same, since the other party has said it, then he will definitely do so.
Therefore, if the matter of changing the baby just made Empress Xue feel that her defeat today was decided, the fall of the Prime Minister's Mansion would be a fatal blow to her.
As for his mother's family, Xue Yi, who has always been full of confidence, still said unwillingly:
"Impossible, even if Zhou Xianrui wins and Xiantai ascends the throne and becomes the emperor. But you haven't completely stabilized the previous dynasty, and my Xue family is a meritorious minister of the Great Zhou. If the rebellion of the four kings had not been communicated to the court by my father in advance, your father's country would have been usurped long ago, and where would you have the current throne. Your Zhou family owes me the kindness of the Xue family at all, and what do you rely on to act in vain. ”
Looking at Empress Xue, who was gradually driven into a desperate situation, this would not only gradually become hoarse, but also more and more arrogant and rampant.
But Su Qin, who should have no room to speak here, saw her eyes full of tears and glaring at Empress Xue with hatred in her eyes.
Then he held up the square mahogany box that he had been holding in his hand, and immediately said with emotion:
"What kind of meritorious ministers are you Xue family, the rebellion of the four kings back then was even more vain. All of this is fundamentally the manipulation of Prime Minister Xue behind his back, first telling the four princes that year, saying that the Xiao family army intended to force the palace to kill the monarch and ask them to enter the capital to protect the king. And when the four vassal kings really led the army to send troops, your damn dad reported to the court that the four kings had a heart of rebellion. As a result, the so-called rebels of the four kings and the Xiao family army who thought they were quelling the rebellion fought together at the foot of the imperial city, and the blood flowed like rivers and corpses were piled all over the ground. The four kings were executed, and the strength of the Xiao family's army was seriously damaged, but your Xue family took the opportunity to ascend to the sky in one step. Not only do you Xue Yi enter the palace and sit on the phoenix throne, but the children of the Xue family are all prosperous officials, and what you get today is all the glory and bounty, which is simply pushed up with countless blood and lies, so what do you have to be proud of. ”
The more she talked, the more excited Su Qin became, and she could see that if it weren't for the people serving on both sides, she would have rushed straight towards Empress Xue.
But even if he was stopped, Su Qin still pointed at Xue Hou, crying hoarsely and accusing:
"Back then, my father was because he inadvertently obtained the holy decree forged by Xue Xiangna when he would bewitch the four kings to send troops. And he had enough evidence to correct the Xue family, but he was tragically killed, and my Su family was beheaded on trumped-up charges. But God has eyes, and the evidence that my father did not compromise until his death has finally been found by Su Qin again. Empress Xue, can you see the wooden box in my hand clearly, this is dug up from the ground of my Su family ancestral hall. With this ironclad evidence that Xue Xiang deceived the four kings into sending troops, the civil and military officials intercede with you without any position, and your Xue family will be spurned by the people of the Great Zhou. Therefore, the Queen Mother, your mother's family is already difficult to protect itself, and no one will come to save you again. ”
Because the family revenge has to be avenged, and Su Qin still found out the evidence hidden by her father with her own hands, so this kind of pleasure of personal revenge even makes her a little crazy.
After all, no matter how bad Empress Xue is, she is still the queen mother, and Su Qin is a palace concubine, which person present is not more valuable than her identity, and how can she get her to vent here wantonly and non-stop.
Therefore, Zhou Xianrui, who has always paid attention to principles and etiquette, can see that Su Qin's behavior is quite out of shape, even if the other party is indeed meritorious in bringing down the Xue family, he still looks at the other party with a slight dissatisfaction.
