Chapter 759: Zhou Yi is arrested
The assassination of biological brothers and sisters is difficult for mothers to accept, which is indeed a reasonable thing.
But since Xiao Jinxuan has decided to tell the truth that she and Empress Dowager Chen were eager to escape from the palace four years ago and did not have the opportunity to tell, even if this reality is very cruel, she still has to finish speaking.
Therefore, I saw Xiao Jinxuan suddenly smile with emotion, and then said with a soft sigh:
"Concubine Liang, you have lived in the deep palace for a long time in your life, and you probably know better than Jinxuan about the cannibalism of this royal family. And why didn't Xiangping attack Emperor Qi, after all, you, the biological mother, didn't give the emperor's son the medicine of the tiger and wolf in order to be in power, completely ignoring whether the other party's body could withstand it. That Xiangping couldn't assassinate Emperor Qi for the sake of Mo Linzhi's affairs back then. After all, how much our eighth princess is infatuated with Mo Linzhi's guard, and even suffered from madness for the other party, you don't know it. ”
Empress Dowager Chen, who had been questioned by Xiao Jinxuan's words, was disturbed by her mind, and she asked in surprise:
"Morinzhi? There is something else going on with the other party here, Xiangping, this child, has indeed been a little ruthless in recent years, but I believe that she will not do anything to kill the king and kill her brother. Xiao Jinxuan, Xianrui was killed by you, this evidence is conclusive, you don't want to quibble. ”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jinxuan sneered, then snorted coldly and said:
"If Emperor Qi was really killed by me, then why did I, Xiao Jinxuan, go back to find a way to die, and why did I confess my identity to you in order to explain what happened back then. As for your so-called conclusive evidence, could it be that Niangniang saw with her own eyes that I could not feed Emperor Qi's poison. What's more, when I was imprisoned in Zhaoyang Palace, when Zhou Xianrui died, I was avoiding the killers sent by Xiangping and Ji Lingfeng, and I was anxious to escape from the palace. As long as the Queen Mother matches the time with each other a little, she can know that the person who assassinated and killed Emperor Qi will definitely not be me. As for why I mentioned Mo Linzhi, did Niangniang forget the Yama tears back then. Xiangping failed to steal the medicine, failed to save his beloved, but turned all the bones of the other party into thick blood. Therefore, the person who has the medicine in my hand, and the person who finally took the medicine Emperor Qi, are the murderers who indirectly killed Mo Linzhi in the eyes of Xiangping. So she wants to get rid of us, just to take revenge, Niangniang, you should know that Xiangping is a person with madness, and her thoughts are already very strange to normal people. This kind of thing is instigated by Ji Lingfeng, and Xiangping did it. ”
Xiao Jinxuan's words are not only reasonable, but also extremely reasonable.
Empress Dowager Chen, who gradually calmed down, will also think of four years ago, she fell into the lust for power step by step, and she ruthlessly drugged Zhou Xianrui, her biological son, and it seems that it was indeed because of Xiangping's constant instigation.
Many things often happen without feeling out of the ordinary.
But when you think about the memories, some loopholes and deep meanings will slowly emerge.
Now that I think about it in detail, the more Empress Dowager Chen finds that she started with Xiao Jinxuan four years ago.
In the end, she made a move against Zhou Xianrui in order to take power, and after the death of this eldest son, she pushed Zhou Xianchen to the throne for a series of things.
It seems that she, the queen mother, is in the leading position, but the direction of things is indeed under the guidance of Xiangping.
And if it weren't for this daughter, who was always by her side to admonish and occasionally come up with ideas.
Empress Dowager Chen suddenly discovered that she might not have felt that Xiao Jinxuan was similar to Empress Xue back then, and would become the second Xue Yi to oppose her.
For the sake of imperial power, he will not harm Zhou Xianrui's body again and again, and take the medicine of the other party's tiger and wolf.
Later, before Zhou Xianrui died, the original decree was to ask Zhou Xianyu to ascend the throne and become emperor.
It was also Xiangping who said that this son was an adopted son after all, and the other party became the emperor, so he would inevitably calculate with Empress Dowager Chen that Xiao Jinxuan was imprisoned and persecuted.
So I didn't think about it, let alone the Empress Dowager Chen, who didn't have the courage to burn Zhou Xianrui's edict and make a move on the matter of ascending the throne and becoming the emperor.
It was completely under the persuasion of Xiangping and Ji Lingfeng's planning that Zhou Xianchen was put on the throne, and she listened to the government by herself.
But now that he gradually found that he was just more like a chess piece that was pushed to the front, Chen Houke really couldn't negotiate.
"Xiao Jinxuan, although your words seem reasonable, but they are also unfounded, Xiang'er is the biological daughter of the mourning family, this child has not even dared to kill a rabbit since he was a child, how could he dare to poison his brother. And you are now returning to Da Zhou as Princess Changde, which shows that you are indeed of Beirong blood. And when you raised Zhou Yi's child, he was not a member of the royal family, and he was very clear about this, but everyone thought he was Xianrui's biological flesh and blood. When Xianrui was seriously ill, there were no heirs under his knees, and if you poisoned the other party and pushed Zhou Yi to become the emperor, you could control the imperial power of the Great Zhou. So compared to Xiang'er, your motivation is greater, so I will never believe your one-sided words just now. ”
Seeing that after talking for a long time, Empress Dowager Chen didn't believe her words at all.
For this queen mother who has no identity but no scheming at all, Xiao Jinxuan also felt inexplicably tired, but had to continue:
"Queen Mother, Zhou Yi is not a prince, although outsiders don't know. But in addition to Emperor Qi and me, there are also you and Xiangping, and even King Yongchang and Zhou Xianyu all know about it. If I really want to push this child to the throne, it is not enough to poison Zhou Xianrui at all, you people who know the inside story, you can only implement this plan by killing me. This risk is not only too great, but also the probability of success is too low, does the Queen Mother think that Xiao Jinxuan would be so stupid and do such a self-defeating thing. Whether you believe me or not, I've made it clear what I need to say. But you'd better not think about targeting me like you did four years ago. After all, there are 200,000 troops in Beirong, and I have to weigh the consequences if I want to move. In addition, I am advising Niangniang to say the last sentence, be careful of Xiangping and Ji Lingfeng, don't be led by their noses. Otherwise, if the Great Zhou Sheji really falls into the hands of others, the black cauldron of this sinner through the ages will definitely be detained on you. ”
Today, Empress Dowager Chen is here for her nephew Chen Shuhang, but now she has long been terrified because of Xiao Jinxuan's words.
Therefore, Chen Shuhang's matter, Empress Dowager Chen couldn't take care of it, and she was even more afraid of Beirong's 200,000 soldiers and horses, and she didn't dare to take Xiao Jinxuan lightly.
Therefore, when Xiao Jinxuan's words were finished, when she was just quietly drinking tea without speaking, Empress Dowager Chen only felt that the atmosphere in the entire hall was overwhelmed.
The dignified Empress Dowager of the Great Zhou finally pushed the door out as if she had fled, and hurriedly left the Regent's Palace, got on the phoenix and went straight to the imperial city and returned.
Empress Chen's panic let Xiao Jinxuan know that the other party listened to her words, but she just didn't want to believe it.
As long as the other party is given time to buffer, Xiao Jinxuan feels that no matter whether the Empress Dowager Chen will continue to exercise power.
But for Xiangping and Ji Lingfeng, the other party will definitely not adopt all of them as in the past, and the relationship between them will inevitably give rise to dislikes.
What Xiao Jinxuan didn't know was that she was dividing the relationship between the Queen Mother and the party.
Ji Lingfeng, who already knew her true identity, would not be idle, and he would be sitting in a dimly lit main room in an abandoned courtyard on the outskirts of Beijing.
And in front of him, standing was Zhou Yi, who had just met Xiao Jinxuan in Shisong Town not long ago.
It's just that this kid's face is now covered with blood, and his whole body is even more frightened and trembling, especially when facing Ji Lingfeng's soft eyes, Zhou Yi is even more frightened, and he can't stop stepping back.
Looking at Zhou Yi's panicked appearance, Ji Lingfeng, who slowly stood up, casually held a dagger in his hand, and said with a chuckle while pressing towards the other party step by step:
"Good boy, don't be afraid, although the people in Shisong Town are dead, as long as you are willing to be obedient, Ji will promise you that he will not hurt you in the slightest, and I will also send you to the dragon chair and become the Ninth Five-Year Honor. Think about how you live now, sleeping in a yellow mud room every day, and working hard for food and clothing at a young age. Zhou Yi, do you still remember your life when you were a prince, don't you want to enjoy glory and wealth again, and I, Ji Lingfeng, am the one who came to help you. ”
Seeing that after Zhou Yi heard these words, he still blindly stepped back and didn't speak.
Ji Lingfeng snorted, and even played with the dagger in his hand, and then said:
"But if you are the little prince of Zhou Yi, you don't want to live a life above tens of thousands of people, then Ji will also fulfill you, this will kill you with a knife, so that you will be like those people in the town, after you die of anger, you will be burned to ashes in a fire."
The blood on Zhou Yi's body now was splashed on him when the people around him were forcibly taken away by Ji Lingfeng on the way.
Thinking of those familiar folks in the street, they begged in pain, but they couldn't escape the end of death.
Zhou Yi was just a five or six-year-old child, how could he withstand Ji Lingfeng's coercion and intimidation, and he immediately cried.
"Don't come here, the concubine knows that she won't let you go, I'm not a prince, and I haven't thought about being an emperor. I don't remember anything, I'm going home. ”
Crying and crying, as soon as he finished saying this incoherently, he was indeed frightened Zhou Yi, and ran towards the door regardless of it.
But with a child of a few years old, how could he escape from Ji Lingfeng's palm.
Seeing that the other party stretched out his hand to grab it, he hugged Xiao Zhou Yi, who was frightened and screamed in horror, tightly in his arms.
Then Ji Lingfeng lowered his head and approached Zhou Yi's ear, and said in a gloomy and bewitching tone:
"Don't be afraid, silly boy, I'm here to help you become the emperor. As for the concubine in your mouth, I know that she went to visit you, but the other party didn't leave you behind, and didn't take you with her. She has now changed her appearance and become a princess in a new capacity, and you are a burden in her eyes. Speaking of which, you will be caught by me now, just because Xiao Jinxuan didn't care about you and didn't take you away safely. You still call her the concubine of this kind of person, hoping that the other party will come to save you. Zhou Yi, you still don't dream, even if you die now, Xiao Jinxuan won't know, she doesn't care about you, the adopted son who is not her own, at all. ”
