Chapter 191: Interlocking
"If you fall into danger, then the whole of Shenchu is in danger...... For the sake of Shen Chu's safety, I also ask Your Majesty and you to listen carefully to the next words of the concubine——"
Yongye did not stand up from the ground, but straightened up directly, raised his head slightly, looked directly into the eyes of Chu Zhaoxi in the high position, and said firmly: "The current queen Cao is not worthy of the throne, and the femme fatale is hearted...... The snake tide that injured countless people on the day of His Royal Highness the Prince's wedding banquet was the one who instructed her to win the demon clan behind her back...... Not only that, but Cao Shi also ......"
"Presumptuous!"
As soon as these words were spoken, not to mention Chu Zhaoxi's complexion changed drastically, she suddenly stopped her next words, just looking at the appearance of everyone looking at each other and couldn't help but start whispering in each other's ears, you knew what kind of uproar Yongye's words set off in everyone's hearts.
Luo Liyao lowered her eyes slightly, and did not say a word—neither objected nor agreed with her words, and only quietly waited for Chu Zhaoxi and everyone to respond.
Although Yongjun didn't expect Yongye to say such purposeful words at this time, he still firmly chose to believe in his sister after all, and knelt down on one knee in front of Chu Zhaoxi, and saluted: "Although the minister doesn't dare to say anything, please listen to Concubine Yonggui's words before making plans." ”
Chu Zhaoxi couldn't help but get up and stop her when he didn't finish his words in the eternal night, and only after roaring did he realize how out of shape he was - after all, the person kneeling in the hall was still a concubine who had been pampered for many years, and he was still the only sister of Empress Yuan, and it was not good for him to give her face like this.
And just when he had some regrets in his heart, Yongjun directly gave him a step like this, and he happened to go down this step: "...... That's right, Concubine Yong, you...... Go on. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yongye didn't say much, and there was no displeasure on his face because he had just been suddenly shouted, "Not only that, but in order to seek the position of queen, Cao also designed to make Empress Yuan have a difficult birth, so that she died after giving birth to the eldest prince...... Such a ruthless person is really not worthy of being my Queen Shenchu! ”
Chu Zhaoxi's brows jumped, and he pursed his lips and said nothing.
Yongjun bowed deeply, making it impossible to see the expression on his face.
The crowd who were whispering fell silent for a moment.
The current queen killed the previous queen - something they couldn't even think about.
After Empress Yuan's death in childbirth, no one doubted why Empress Yuan, who had always been healthy, suddenly suffered such a misfortune and died after giving birth to the emperor's eldest son.
Even if they knew that this might have something to do with Cao Han, who later ascended to the throne of the queen, how many people dared to say it in front of Chu Zhaoxi like Yongye?
The answer, of course, is no.
They don't even have the courage to echo the eternal night.
It's not because the queen is from the Cao family, and they have lingering palpitations. On the contrary, the Cao family has gradually declined after the death of Prime Minister Cao Cheng, and it is no longer the glory of the past, coupled with the withering of people, only Queen Cao is left in this generation to support the last glory.
Compared with the decline of the Cao family, the Yong family is very hot because of the general Yongjun and the favorite concubine Yongye.
It stands to reason that at this time, Yongye took the initiative to stand up and directly detain such a big crime on Empress Cao, and it was also in the absence of the eldest prince and the crown prince at this time - if any of them had a trace of wanting to please the Yong family in their hearts, they should stand up and support Yongye. 【*… Magic Pen House ... ¥ Better Updates Faster]
But no, not a single one.
Including Chu Zhaoxi, who had a very ugly face, Luo Liyao, who was waiting for the development of the situation, and Chu Yang, who had nothing to do with him, everyone remained surprisingly silent.
There is no other reason, just "weigh the pros and cons and protect yourself wisely" - no matter how Empress Cao is, no matter how the Cao family is, the current Royal Highness the Crown Prince is Chu Lingze...... That is the biological son of Empress Cao, and it is also the rightful emperor of their Shen Chu in the future.
No matter how much His Majesty favored Concubine Yong and the eldest prince at this time, after the marriage between the crown prince and the county lord of Tianqi, his position as the crown prince was almost as stable as Mount Tai. In other words, if Chu Zhaoxi wants to abolish the crown prince, he will also weigh the pros and cons carefully, will the Tianqi royal family and the Meng family of Tianqi be willing to let Meng Liran suffer this humiliation?
There is no doubt that the current Tianqi is not something that they Shen Chu can afford to provoke, and even the position of the crown prince with Chu Lingze is no longer something that the Yong family and Chu Lingyuan can easily shake.
Then Chu Lingze's biological mother Cao Han, the queen who has no favor and no family background, her status will also rise with it, and she cannot be easily shaken.
And Yongye seemed to have thought of such a situation, and was not discouraged by the silence in the hall at this time, but gave everyone a little time to digest, and went straight down and said: "The concubine knows that this matter is very important, so naturally she doesn't dare to talk nonsense easily - the concubine has human and physical evidence. ”
She said sincerely, and she kept staring at Chu Zhaoxi with burning eyes, and saw that he was a little inexplicably weak-hearted, so she had to let go and say, "Go and bring your certificate to the palace." ”
Yongye answered, clapped his palms lightly, and a young man dressed as a guard came straight up to the hall with a confession in one hand and a blood-red man in the other, followed by a strangely dressed woman.
The young man didn't say a word, and directly threw the person beside Yongye, slightly bent his knees and presented the confession: "Back to Your Majesty, this person is the remnant of the Demon Clan, this is her confession."
- According to her, the man who instructed her was very cautious, but he was really a man of the palace...... I have already found the portraits of everyone in the palace at that time to let her identify them one by one, and confirmed that it is the current queen. ”
"If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can also let her identify it on the spot." Yongye said, and turned her gaze to the woman behind the young man, "This is the palace maid who was originally assigned to her when the Cao family entered the palace, and by chance, she learned about the Cao family's attack on Empress Yuan back then-because it has been a long time, and the concubines have been tossing and turning for many years, and finally found such an informed person who still survives in the world." ”
Chu Zhaoxi glanced at the woman, then frowned unconsciously, and said, "Why is her outfit so strange?" Why do you ...... the neckline of your clothes?"
"Your Majesty is trying to say, why did she wear her collar so high?" Yongye smiled softly, and in an instant, she added a lot of color to her black and white clothes, "That's because of the ruthless Cao family in the harem......"
As she spoke, Eternal Night motioned for the woman to pull down her neckline.
The woman lowered her eyes slightly, obediently stretched out her hand, and pulled down her neckline little by little, and the skin inside was instantly exposed in front of everyone, which instantly caused the people around her to gasp one after another—under her high neckline, there was already some wrinkled skin, and a scar that had obviously healed for a long time.
Looking at it like that, the scar at that time must have been very deep and deep.
Luo Liyao was startled, but remained silent.
"I can't think of it...... On the first day of his majesty's visit to Cangxia City, which is known as the state of etiquette, he could see such a dramatic scene. Chu Yang on the side had approached her at some point, and said in a voice beside her that only the two of them could hear, "It's just that Your Majesty is very curious...... Your Highness, what is your position? ”
Luo Liyao: "......"
Luo Liyao glanced at him slightly, and had no intention of opening.
Chu Yang smiled slightly, and was not in a hurry to wait for her reply.
And just when the two of them were silent and had different thoughts, it was Yongye who opened his mouth again: "You have also seen that this scar on her neck was left at that time - she was finally able to escape from the Cao family's hands, and she has been living outside the palace for many years, and was only recently found by the concubines. ”
"When are you ...... Started investigating this? Chu Zhaoxi's face was a little blue, and he was still frowning, as if he had not completely broken free from the shock of seeing the scar on the woman's neck just now, "Back then...... She died of a bloody collapse in childbirth...... After many years, you say that she is actually ......"
"It was killed by the Cao family." Eternal night not at all
He was willing to back down and said straight, "Princess Zhenli still has physical evidence about this matter, Your Majesty can take a look at it again, and it will be clear - the true face of this Cao family!" ”
Luo Liyao was caught off guard by her name, and was slightly shocked in her heart, but she also understood, and directly unfolded the yellowed letter paper that she had been holding in her hand since just now, and handed it to the attendant who came to them.
The yellowed and even somewhat brittle letter paper was sent to Chu Zhaoxi's hand through the hand of the attendant, and there was silence in the hall again, only the sound of everyone's unsteady breathing and the sound of Chu Zhaoxi turning the letter paper one by one.
Flipping through them one by one, looking at them one by one, Chu Zhaoxi's face became even worse.
Luo Liyao suddenly noticed that an imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of Yongye's mouth.
At the same time, Chu Zhaoxi happened to finish reading the last piece of letterhead, and the anger that he had been holding back in his heart suddenly vented, and he directly threw the letterhead in his hand aside, and said angrily: "Is it her?!" It's her?! It's her - it's her!! ”
Not to mention Luo Liyao, an outsider, she was slightly surprised to see Chu Zhaoxi look like this in Yongye, but fortunately, she hid it well and failed to be discovered by the people around her.
But Luo Liyao, who had been focusing on Yongye, found out, and she finally knew why Yongye came to her first, let her see those letters, and then send these letters to Chu Zhaoxi's hands through her hand - from the beginning, her purpose was not only to expose the so-called "Cao Han killed Yongyue" back then......
It was through Luo Liyao's hand and through the first arrival of the Tianqi envoy on this special day......
Beginning with the topic of "Empress Ji killed Empress Yuan", he led Chu Zhaoxi to discover it step by step......
Let him know that the person who pushed Chu Zhaoying to marry Tianqi behind his back was Cao Han!
Thinking of this, the smile on the corner of Yongye's mouth fell into her eyes, and it seemed to be a little obvious, and Luo Liyao suddenly panicked.
It's not that she's finally realizing that she's being used by the Eternal Night, it's that she feels that these things are interconnected and are gradually getting out of her control and assumptions......
Moreover, looking at the appearance of Eternal Night, I am afraid that this matter is far from that simple.
