Xie Fenghua admired the people of Beiheng Wangfu so much.

She prides herself on being well-informed, but she has never seen anyone who can reverse black and white to such an extent.

In her opinion, the situation of King Beiheng and the others is far from the point of messing around, why does it seem like they are in chaos at this moment? Could it be that Tang Mengqian's forced submission has already hit their sore spot?

The same doubts also quickly crossed Du Pingfei's heart. She deliberately looked at Concubine Tang Xian, and after a while, she sneered and said, "King Beiheng, this palace respects you as a hero of the Liang Dynasty, and I don't want to quarrel with you many times." But this does not mean that this palace can tolerate you reversing right and wrong in front of civil and military officials. ”

"If the queen has a clear conscience, why not take this opportunity to make it clear?" King Beiheng is still stubborn.

Du Pingfei also lost that patience and asked, "So, what about your evidence?" ”

King Beiheng pointed at Li Xiang and said, "Master Li, tell me what you know." ”

Li Xiang was suddenly named, his body trembled, and his head seemed to hang lower.

What happened in these two days was like a dream.

A while ago, there were beautiful women and rich people in my dreams, but when I woke up, I was in prison and could not be free.

Before he came, he was told to be obedient. He felt powerless to resist, so he could only respond.

But who would have thought that this lie would be told in front of today's queen mother?

Thinking of the possible fate, Li Xiang's body trembled violently again, and he opened his mouth several times, but he couldn't speak.

Seeing this, Du Pingfei smiled mockingly: "King Beiheng, this is your witness?" Could it be that he was afraid of perjury and did not dare to speak? ”

King Beiheng's vicious gaze suddenly shot at Li Xiang, and he said in a deep voice: "Li Gongzi, there is no need to panic. If you have any grievances, speak up on the spot. The people sitting here are all important ministers of the court, and they will definitely administer justice to you. ”

Li Xiang secretly gritted his teeth, knocked his head, and a trembling voice sounded, "The grass people have seen all of you. The father of the grass people was originally the imperial doctor in the palace, and not long ago, when he returned to the mansion, he once told the grass people about an incident, which may be related to the emperor's unconscious. ”

"What's the matter?" Sun Mingyuan said hurriedly.

Li Xiang continued: "My father said that after the emperor fell unconscious, the queen mother once took him to search in the palace of the virtuous concubine and told him to do his part. ”

King Beiheng glanced at Du Pingfei and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Yes...... In accordance with the instructions of the queen's mother, the evidence of framing Concubine Xian was quietly arranged. After the emperor woke up, he deducted the charge of murdering the emperor on the head of the virtuous concubine. Li Xiang's body lay on the ground, and the cold breath penetrated the layers of clothes, gradually invading the limbs and hundreds of remains.

The colder it is, the more emotionally stable he becomes.

At this moment, he also saw his situation clearly.

When he was pinched by the King of Beiheng, he had already embarked on the road of no return.

If you want to survive, you can only do what the other party tells you to do. Otherwise, any struggle will be of no avail.

And everyone in the hall was already restless, and many people forgot the courtier's etiquette and looked at Du Ping directly.

But Du Pingfei didn't seem to notice everyone's sight, and after listening to these words, he said coldly: "Li Xiang, do you know what the crime of slandering the queen of the dynasty is?" ”

Li Xiang's hand holding the ground clenched into a fist, and his voice seemed to be a little lower, "If you go back to the queen's mother, the grass people will naturally know." It is precisely because I know that I can't bear to see you frame Concubine Xian, and at the risk of being disposed of by you, I stood here and said what I just said. ”

"Good...... I can't bear it......" Du Pingfei smiled indifferently, his voice suddenly turned cold, and he said sharply, "This palace only asks you, do you dare to swear that what you just said is the truth?" ”

"Grass People...... The grass people swore that if there was half a lie, they would not die well. Li Xiang said stiffly.

King Beiheng stretched his face and arched his hand towards the old prince: "Old prince, you also heard, the emperor is unconscious, and he can't get rid of the queen's mother." Do you need to ...... just in case"

"What is needed?" The old prince stroked his beard and said quietly, "This king thinks that the words of one person alone are not enough to explain anything. What's more, the queen is a daughter, and no one present is qualified to dispose of it. Brother Tang, this matter still has to wait for the emperor to wake up, and then discuss it in the long run. ”

"Old prince......" King Beiheng was choked, but he saw that the old prince shook his head, looking like he didn't want to say much.

His heart was blocked, and he became more and more disdainful of the old prince's inaction.

Judging from the identity, there was indeed no one present who could ask Du Pingfei for his guilt.

But one person has no rights, but it does not mean that the entire royal family of the Liang Dynasty is powerless.

But as long as the old prince has a heart, he can gather the emperor's relatives to crusade against Du Pingfei, and there is no such thing as "no qualification".

Obviously, the old prince didn't want to wade into this troubled water.

Seeing this, the ridicule on the corners of his lips became a little thicker, "King Beiheng, Uncle Huang's words, you must have heard it." One side of the story alone is not enough to say anything. Unless, you can come up with real evidence......"

King Beiheng gritted his teeth with hatred, "Evidence, that is naturally there......"

"Queen Qi, the minister has something to do." Sun Mingyuan suddenly stood up and interrupted King Beiheng's words, "Originally, the minister didn't want to move this matter to everyone, and he also had scruples. But King Beiheng protected Li Xiang like this, and the ministers really couldn't stand it. ”

As everyone knows, this prime minister has always been steady and self-controlled, and rarely has a gaffe.

But he said that he couldn't stand it anymore, which undoubtedly aroused everyone's curiosity.

Xie Fenghua's heart moved, and he unconsciously looked in the direction where Sun Hengbo was.

saw that Sun Hengbo was hanging his head, holding the Fang Jinpa tightly with his small hands, and seemed to know Sun Mingyuan's actions.

For a while, she couldn't understand it.

Mrs. Yuan also frowned and asked in a low voice, "What's going on?" Why did Prime Minister Sun get involved? ”

Xie Fenghua thought about it for a while, and then said, "It seems to be related to Hengbo......

"How?" Mrs. Yuan was puzzled.

Xie Fenghua turned over slightly, leaned into her ear and said a few words, and said worriedly: "It stands to reason that it is about Hengbo's reputation, and it shouldn't have been done." But if he did, I wouldn't understand. ”

After all, Sun Hengbo was taken captive, and only the parties know what the process was.

If he really wants to settle the score, he can use another means to solve it, why expose it in front of everyone in a big way?

Mrs. Yuan was stunned after hearing this, and sighed helplessly: "I can understand what he did." If the daughter is taken away by a nobody, there is no other way but to retaliate with a tooth for a tooth. But if this matter is inseparable from King Beiheng, then simply disposing of those subordinates is not enough to vent his anger, and the most fundamental thing is to attack the mastermind behind the scenes. ”

Xie Fenghua suddenly realized, "What my mother said is very true. It's me who is stupid. ”

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Yuan was still sad and muttered: "Now, what I'm worried about is not Sun Mingyuan, but the queen mother." ”

"The Queen?" Xie Fenghua's eyes flashed, quite puzzled.

Mrs. Yuan nodded and said abruptly: "Everyone knows that the emperor has been unconscious for many days. In the previous dynasty, there were Ah Zhou and Sun Cheng and others, and there may not be a major turmoil. But in the harem, there are so many ghosts and ghosts hidden, and in the past, there was an invisible deterrent from the emperor, but now only the queen is left to fight alone. ”

Xie Fenghua didn't expect that what she was referring to would be this aspect, and suddenly felt a little funny, "Mother, our queen mother, can be said to have come all the way. She's got a lot of talent! You don't have to worry too much. ”

"That being said, two fists are hard to beat four hands, and in the end it is also full of dangers." Mrs. Yuan seemed to be really worried about Du Pingfei's situation, and after thinking about it for a while, she said to Xie Fenghua, "In my opinion, this matter will not end so soon today. If you can help, try to help the queen as much as possible. The harem is fine, and the pressure on the previous dynasty will not be so great. ”

Xie Fenghua held back a smile and responded in a low voice.

She raised her eyes and saw that Du Pingfei's back was straight and his temperament was awe-inspiring, and inadvertently, she thought of Mrs. Yuan's worries, and suddenly couldn't say what it was like in her heart.

It is indeed not a good thing to be entangled by the king of Beiheng. But in her opinion, Du Pingfei can also handle it.

This woman has never been afraid of anyone.

At this moment, Du Pingfei had already asked, "Why did Xiangye say this?" ”

Sun Mingyuan glared at King Beiheng with resentment, and his tone was three points sad and seven points resentful, "Qi Yu Niangniang, just yesterday, the little girl was kidnapped. And this captive is this son named Li Xiang. This person has a very bad temperament, I don't know why the king of Beiheng would let this person enter this frost cloud hall and testify for him? ”

As soon as this remark came out, the audience was in an uproar.

King Beiheng's eyes flashed with a touch of anger, and he asked gloomily: "Xiangye, there is no evidence, why do you want to slander a young man like this?" Isn't this self-defeating? ”

Sun Mingyuan immediately snorted coldly, "The little girl was in danger for a while, and it was all thanks to Li Xiang. King Beiheng had never experienced such a predicament, so he naturally couldn't understand this kind of mood. ”

"So, Xiangye is going to investigate to the end?" King Beiheng's face was gloomy, and his temper showed a little irritable.

Sun Mingyuan was naturally not afraid of him, and did not answer the rhetorical question, "What does King Beiheng mean, can't he be investigated?" ”

"You ......," King Beiheng pointed at him, gritting his teeth.

This old puppet is really not good at oil and salt!

Sun Mingyuan sneered: "Isn't King Mo of Beiheng worried, once the prime minister convicts Li Xiang, his testimony will not be counted?" ”

King Beiheng didn't want to talk to him anymore.

The questions one after another were so sharp that he couldn't resist them.

But since Sun Mingyuan stood up and lost Sun Hengbo's reputation, he naturally refused to let him go easily, so he said: "Queen Mother, Li Xiang's behavior is despicable and ill-intentioned, and he shouldn't have appeared here as a witness." Then, what he said before, the person who testified against him naturally cannot be taken seriously. ”

After a pause, he looked at King Beiheng again, and said meaningfully: "Since Li Xiang was brought by King Beiheng, the relationship between the two must not be ordinary, right?" Then, about the kidnapping of the little girl, please ask the king of Beiheng to give an explanation. ”

"Sun Mingyuan! What do you mean? King Beiheng couldn't bear it anymore, and finally jumped to his feet and scolded angrily, "What does your daughter's captivity have to do with this king?" Isn't it funny that you came to this king to explain? ”

Sun Mingyuan sneered and said, "In that case, Li Xiang has nothing to do with you?" ”

"You ......" King Beiheng was about to blurt out subconsciously, but he inadvertently saw Concubine Tang Xian's eyes, and the unspoken words instantly fell back into his stomach, how aggrieved he was.

He could not admit that he had anything to do with Li Xiang.

Otherwise, he would not be able to say anything about Sun Hengbo being abducted by Li Xiang.

But I can't admit that it doesn't matter.

Otherwise, Du Pingfei would definitely see the opportunity to bite back, and everything he had done before would fall short.

It's a dilemma!

He was having a headache about how to solve it, when a crisp sound of broken porcelain suddenly sounded in the middle of the banquet.

followed the sound and looked, but saw that Concubine Tang Xian was holding her stomach in pain, cold sweat broke out on her forehead, and she exhaled in pain, "Imperial Doctor, quickly show this palace......"

"Mother, what's wrong with you?" The palace maid beside her hurriedly hugged her and kowtowed to Du Pingfei in a panic, "Queen Mother, please let the imperial doctor show my mother......"

"What's the panic?" Du Pingfei's face tightened, waved away the bad feeling in his heart, and ordered, "Carry the virtuous concubine to the inner hall first." Imperial Doctor Xu, you go and take a look. ”

"Wechen obeys." Imperial Physician Xu followed behind, and waited until he entered the inner hall before he stepped forward to treat Concubine Tang Xian.

And Du Pingfei stood outside the curtain, listening to Concubine Tang Xian's exclamations, and his heart was quite restless.

Something seems to be out of her grasp!

It just so happened that Xiao Yao walked in quietly, and she couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Find out, what's going on?" ”

Xiao Yao shook his head with a solemn expression.

After the emperor fell into a coma, Concubine Tang Xian was also grounded by Du Pingfei for a reason, which can be regarded as under Du Pingfei's nose.

What could happen?

While thinking about it, the old prince also walked in, followed by the angry King of Beiheng. Seeing her with a gloomy face, the old prince comforted her, "The queen doesn't have to worry. Concubine Niangniang Ji has her own natural appearance, so there should be no problem. ”

Du Pingfei glanced at King Beiheng and said with a smile: "What Uncle Huang said is extremely true. ”

King Beiheng's face was even more ugly.

At this moment, Imperial Physician Xu suddenly walked out, and King Beiheng hurriedly asked, "Imperial Physician Xu, how is Concubine Xian?" ”

Imperial Physician Xu hurriedly said, "Lord Wang, please rest assured. Niangniang was poisoned, but fortunately it was discovered in time, and now she is out of danger. It's just that you still need to recuperate. ”

"Why is it poisoned?" King Beiheng glanced at Du Pingfei and asked in a deep voice.

Doctor Xu said: "It should be that I ate poisonous food." However, the amount of toxin ingestion is very small, but there will be abdominal pain, which will not have much effect on the body. ”

King Beiheng's eyes flashed a dark light, and he said to Du Pingfei: "What do you think of the queen's mother?" ”

Knowing that he was going to take the opportunity to make trouble, Du Pingfei couldn't help but have some scruples, and only said: "Since it is ingested from food, then ask Imperial Doctor Xu to check it, so that you can give everyone an explanation." ”

"Wechen obeys." Imperial Physician Xu hurriedly said, but he didn't move his steps, and there was still a little hesitation on his face.

Seeing this, King Beiheng immediately said urgently: "Imperial Doctor Xu, but what's wrong?" ”

As soon as he asked this, Imperial Physician Xu's face became even more frightened, and he opened his mouth several times but wanted to speak, but he confused the others.

"Imperial Doctor Xu, if you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly." Although Du Pingfei wished that Concubine Tang Xian would have an accident, as the master of the harem, he still had to do the kung fu on the surface, so he also asked, "But what's wrong with Concubine Xian?" That poisonous ......"

Imperial Physician Xu hurriedly shook his head, "It has nothing to do with poison. Rather, it was Wei Chen who was checking Concubine Xian's pulse just now, and found that Niangniang had been pregnant for more than a month......"

"What did you say?" Du Pingfei's face changed greatly, and he suddenly clasped his arms fiercely, his eyes wide, "Are you mistaken?" How could she ......"

Imperial Physician Xu only felt that her expression was very terrifying, so she didn't dare to raise her head, and repeated: "Back to the queen's mother, Weichen is not mistaken. Concubine Xian Niangniang has indeed been pregnant for more than a month. ”

It was like a thunderbolt exploded in his ears, and Du Pingfei's mind was extremely confused. She let go of her hand and walked to the table in despair, her back to the group, her mind full of that sentence.

Tang Xianfei is pregnant?

How could she ...... How is it possible to get pregnant?

In this harem, so many people come and go, why is she pregnant?

Why?

The exclamation in his ears had long been inaudible, Du Pingfei stood in a daze, supported the table with both hands, closed his eyes, and muttered, "Okay...... What a Zhao Pei...... You're so ruthless......"

……

The news that Concubine Tang Xian was pregnant and poisoned spread in an instant.

As the first pregnant concubine of the Liang Dynasty, she was poisoned again, and things became complicated.

Under the secret signal of King Beiheng, many ministers have knelt down to ask for a detailed investigation of the poisoning case of Concubine Tang Xian, and once someone comes out to obstruct it, they will be charged with "murdering the emperor's heir". There are even some bold people who put the object of suspicion on Du Pingfei.

For a while, the scene was extremely chaotic.

Xie Fenghua thought that Du Pingfei would come out to stabilize the situation. But until the situation was stabilized by Sun Mingyuan and Yuan Minzhou, this woman did not appear in front of anyone.

- It's like being disheartened and struck.

She looked at the minister who was kneeling on the ground, and her forehead suddenly jumped.

Concubine Tang Xian was pregnant at this time, but it was really not the right time.

I only hope that after she leaves Tianjing, nothing will happen.

After the send-off banquet, Xie Fenghua did not stay in the palace for long, but went back to the house to do some simple cleaning, and then went to mobilize troops and horses to prepare for the expedition.

At that time, Du Pingfei was still sitting in Fengyi Palace, and when he saw Xiao Yao coming, he couldn't help asking, "But what's the matter?" ”

Xiao Yao looked at her worriedly and said, "The commander of Dingbei is about to lead his troops to the battle, and the Marquis of Dingyuan sent someone to ask, are you out of the palace......"

"Wait a minute." Du Pingfei rubbed his eyebrows, and his figure shook when he got up, Xiao Yao hurriedly stepped forward to support her, but she waved it away, "This palace is fine." It's just a little tired. ”

As soon as she finished speaking, a touch of bitterness appeared in her heart.

She had been fighting with those women for so long that she had almost forgotten what it was like to be "tired". However, when I heard the news that Concubine Tang Xian was pregnant today, it was like the strength she had accumulated so many years ago was instantly drained, and her whole body was paralyzed.

- Tired, tired, just want to sit quietly.

Xiao Yao said worriedly: "If you don't want to move, then don't force it, right?" The horizontal and vertical send-off banquet has already appeared, even if it is not practiced for the army without going out of the palace, no one will dare to say anything. ”

"Do you really think that no one dares to say it?" Du Pingfei laughed at himself, "If the memory of this palace is correct, the news that Concubine Tang Xian is pregnant just now came out, and there are already ministers who want to suspect this palace, right?" ”

Xiao Yao raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "Do you care about these?" ”

"Hongu shouldn't care?" Du Pingfei didn't answer the rhetorical question, and smiled coldly, "Xiao Yao, in your eyes, do you think that if this palace doesn't say it, you think that this palace doesn't care?" ”

Xiao Yao pursed his lips and did not answer.

Perhaps knowing his answer, Du Pingfei's smile became lonely and sad, "If the palace doesn't say it, those hurtful things won't happen?" Those malicious speculations and frame-ups will not be detained on the body of this palace? Those moods that can't be asked for won't exist? Do you really think that this palace is so open-minded and generous, and can regard the seven emotions and six desires in the world as nothing? ”

If this is the case, after so many years, why should she have trouble with the dead Xie Fenghua?

It's not that you don't care if you don't say it, but you know that even if you care, there is no one to talk to and rely on.

She originally thought that after experiencing so many things, she had cultivated a vajra body, which could withstand the wind, frost, rain and snow from the outside world. But at this moment, I suddenly realized that no matter how much wind and snow there is, it can't compare to the five words "Concubine Tang Xian is pregnant".

I never thought that this was the last straw that could crush her, and it was given by Zhao Pei!

How does this make her willing?

Xiao Yao rarely saw her look so depressed, and the worry in his heart did not decrease but increased, and he persuaded: "Now is not the time to be depressed. The commander of Dingbei is about to go on the expedition, and the emperor has not woken up, and there will definitely be some changes in the harem of the former dynasty. When the time comes, you will still need to stabilize the situation, and you must not ......."

"Can't what?" Du Pingfei seemed to have been poked in the sore spot, his voice suddenly rose, and he asked sharply, "He can make other women pregnant, what else does this palace need to worry about?" He doesn't care about his country anymore, why does this palace need to guard it for him? Whoever likes to take it, take it! ”

Xiao Yao was so frightened that he hurriedly looked inside and outside the palace, and after a while, he said, "Shouldn't you learn to accept such a thing as early as when you entered the palace?" Why is it chaotic at this moment? ”

Du Ping closed his eyes suddenly, and two lines of tears slipped down his face.

A while ago, on the issue of Xie Fenghua, she had a great dispute with Zhao Pei.

Since then, she thought she was dead, but at this moment, she realized that it was just self-deception.

Let her die, she can't do it!

Thinking so, she suddenly felt sadness come from it, and a low, suppressed sobbing sounded in the hall.

Xiao Yao stood behind her in a daze, and didn't dare to step forward to disturb.

I don't know how long it took, Yuehe suddenly walked in and cautiously reported: "Niangniang, Concubine Xian Niangniang asks to see." ”
