There was a faint sound of crying and the court staff hitting the flesh outside, Concubine Hui didn't feel noisy for half a minute, but felt that the sound was very wonderful, leaning on the bed and eating the ginseng chicken soup that was fed to her mouth with the moon one by one, and her eyes glanced at the little prince who was being held by the nurse on the side, her face was full of comfort, and she looked closely, and there was a trace of pride that was difficult to hide.

"Niangniang, another cane was killed, but they still refused to say a word."

Concubine Hui glanced at the little palace maid who came in to pass the word, and waved her hand indifferently. The little palace maid bowed down and retreated, and said in a low voice with the moon: "They all have their lives in the hands of the queen, so naturally they don't dare to say anything, the mother's sin today won't be in vain, right?" ”

"Heh......" Concubine Hui sneered, pinched the handkerchief and wiped the corners of her lips, and said: "It's just some fools, this Da'an Palace belongs to the emperor, no one can disobey and blind the emperor, they didn't say a word, which aroused the emperor's anger even more." If they say a word about the queen's instructions, the emperor can't easily believe it. ”

"So ......"

"Therefore, the palace is waiting for Queen Chen to plant a big heel!"

Outside the hall, Emperor Zhaoren sat in the court and looked coldly at the person in front of him who was scolded to death by the rod, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot, these slaves refused to admit to death, and he had completely angered the king of a country. Who in the whole world dares to play such a trick in front of the emperor? However, there are a few fools who have one foot in hell and don't know it.

Empress Chen hurriedly entered Yuxiang Palace, with doubts and self-blame on her face, and walked to the emperor and the queen mother, "The concubine is late, and the crime deserves death......

"Indeed, sin deserves death!"

Without saying a word, the emperor threw the teacup at his hand at Queen Chen's feet, making a crisp sound of "pop", which scared Queen Chen into a thrill, "My son was almost killed under your eyelids, as the master of the harem, should you give me a reasonable explanation!" ”

Empress Chen knelt down in panic: "Your Majesty? You said that Concubine Hui really gave birth to a prince? Who is it? Who would dare to do such a thing? ”

Emperor Zhaoren squinted at her and said coldly: "This is going to ask the queen, when Concubine Hui gave birth, didn't you always sit in Yuxiang Palace!" Something so big happened that I didn't even notice it! ”

Empress Chen showed a look of guilt, "Your Majesty, it was the concubine's negligence that failed to discover the tricks of the villains and made Concubine Hui's sister suffer...... Please condemn the emperor! ”

An understatement of negligence pushed her to the bottom of today's events.

The Queen Mother said lightly on the side: "The queen really doesn't know anything about today's events? ”

Empress Chen's cheeks were full of tears, and she looked up and looked up full of grievances, "The concubine really doesn't know anything, please let the Queen Mother know ......."

When the queen mother heard this, she beckoned to the inner attendant who scolded the wand, and the inner attendant stopped what she was doing, and the palace maid on the spring stool had already gone to half her life, and fell into the pile of dead people on the ground with a grunt, and let out a frightened and painful scream, "The emperor spares his life, spares his life......"

The Queen Mother glanced at her lightly and asked, "How old are you, and is there anyone else in the family?" ”

The palace maid's face twitched when she heard this, and she unconsciously looked at Queen Chen, and Queen Chen's eyes narrowed and she said sharply: "The Queen Mother asked you!" Don't answer truthfully! ”

The palace maid shrank for a while, the sharp pain from the wound on her body came, her face was distorted, and she said weakly: "Slave...... The slave Zhixiang, nineteen this year, is a second-class palace maid next to Concubine Hui, and she has a ...... at home There is an old mother and a younger brother ......"

"Oh? Do you have a younger brother? How old is this year? ”

Zhixiang glanced at Empress Chen suspiciously, and hurriedly lowered her head, "Ten, twelve......"

"Twelve? It's a pity ......."

Hearing this, Zhixiang suddenly looked up at the Queen Mother, her mouth half-open as if she was trying to understand the meaning of the other party's words.

The Queen Mother shook her head and sighed: "Do you know that murdering the emperor's heir is comparable to plotting rebellion, and the family will be punished." ”

"No...... Queen Mother, please spare my family...... The slave really doesn't know who wants to kill Concubine Hui's child, the slave doesn't know! ”

The Queen Mother ignored her pleas, "Yang De'an." ”

"The minions are here!"

"Where are the families of these slaves now?"

"The minions have ordered the families of these criminal slaves to be arrested in accordance with the will, and they are all detained in the Imperial City Division, waiting to be released."

Zhixiang's face swelled with a blood red, and she unconsciously looked at the queen, and Queen Chen's body also shook slightly, and she was supported by Saitama beside her.

Empress Chen's eyes couldn't help but look at the Queen Mother, the families of these slaves and maids were clearly controlled by Empress Chen's people, if there was a change, her people would kill them as soon as possible, but Yang Dean said that these people had all entered the Imperial City Division, was there anything wrong that she didn't know?

She felt Zhixiang's gaze, her heart chuckled, and she couldn't help but plead with the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, God has the virtue of a good life, the little prince must be a blessed person who can turn evil into good fortune when he suffers this calamity, so why bother to kill in vain......"

"Humph!" Emperor Zhaoren snorted coldly, "If someone hadn't found out in time, the real emperor would have died now!" These people are bold enough to murder the emperor's heir, and they can't be easily let go no matter what, and their families are unforgivable! Come on, order a cadre of people to be decided! ”

"Your Majesty!" Zhixiang screamed, and climbed a few steps forward despite the severe pain on her body, "The emperor spares his life!" The emperor spares his life! The slave's family is innocent...... They are innocent! ”

Empress Chen said eagerly: "Yes, the Queen Mother...... Concubine Hui gave birth to a dragon child, how could the palace kill on a large scale? ”

The Queen Mother ignored her, but instead grasped the meaning of Zhixiang's words, stood up and walked up to her and said condescendingly: "So, you are not innocent? What the hell have you done, you still haven't recruited it from the truth! ”

Zhixiang turned her head to look at the several corpses around her, and the Queen Mother looked at Queen Chen, who was full of panic, and suddenly kowtowed three times, and said, "The slave is guilty!" It was the slave who replaced Concubine Hui's child, and the slave and maid deserved ten thousand deaths, and the crimes deserved ten thousand deaths......"

"It's you?!" Emperor Zhaoren was furious, "Everyone is watching! How do you swap kids! Say it! ”

"Before, there was a palace maid in Yuxiang Palace who had an affair with the guards and was pregnant, and Concubine Hui ordered someone to dispose of it, but in fact, this palace maid was secretly saved, and she hid in Yuxiang Palace, because she was only more than a month younger than Niangniang, as long as she gave birth to the palace maid to induce labor, she could wait for the opportunity to change the child......"

The Queen Mother frowned and said, "But what if the girl in that palace girl is also a boy?" ”

"Even if she gives birth to a boy, the slave will change the child as well...... As soon as the little prince died, Concubine Hui didn't dare to speak out even if she found out afterwards, so she could only eat Coptis dumbly to hide the matter, and this child became Concubine Hui's death hole and handle......"

The crowd was shocked.

Qing Ruxu and Leng Lingyu stood beside the Queen Mother and listened, and couldn't help but feel that this plan was really devastating.

"Where is the woman in this palace?"

"There is a ...... hidden under the side building of Concubine Hui's dormitory."

"Yang De'an! Go find the man! ”

Yang Dean took the order and left, there was silence under the sound of the court, and the hand in Empress Chen's sleeve was clenched tightly, watching a palace maid who was extremely weak and pale and was pushed over. Concubine Hui was shocked when she heard this, and she also wrapped a thick cloak and walked out of the hall.

When the palace maid saw this battle, her feet fell to the ground and kowtowed, "The emperor spares his life, the queen mother spares his life, and the slave maid is involuntary and ......threatened."

Emperor Zhaoren's eyes were torn, "Being threatened? Who is it! You said! ”

The palace maid raised her head tremblingly, glanced at Queen Chen with a shrunken look, and hesitated in her heart, there must always be a mastermind behind her childbirth, if she can't say one, two, three, she will definitely be unable to escape death, and now, it is useless to hide it for anyone, it is better to tell the truth, maybe she can save her life. Thinking of this, she raised her hand tremblingly and pointed at the queen, "Yes, yes...... It's the queen mother! ”

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked! Queen Chen, who was kneeling on the side, was like frost! The entire palace was quiet, no one dared to make a sound easily, and the Yuxiang Palace was full of slaughter.

Concubine Hui had a sad face on her face, and she had already seen the dawn in her heart, she seemed to see Empress Chen's wall falling down and everyone pushing it, and the Chen family has been in a slump since then, and she will become the most favorable candidate to compete for the queen's throne, and finally put on the queen's crown and wear a phoenix crown, and stand side by side with Emperor Zhaoren on the Jinluan Palace overlooking the ministers......

Empress Chen, Empress Chen, blame your hands and feet for being too unclean, mutilating the dragon heir and bullying the king, how can you escape?

A faint smile slowly appeared on Concubine Hui's face, and in an instant, it turned into tears and flowed down her cheeks, "Your Majesty, the concubine and the queen mother have always been close, and the concubine believes that the queen mother will not harm the concubine's children......"

Empress Chen gritted her silver teeth and looked at Concubine Hui, of course she understood that Concubine Hui's words were not to intercede for her, but to aggravate the emperor's impression that he was scheming and plotting to kill the emperor's heir.

Emperor Zhaoren glanced at Empress Chen coldly and pointed at the palace maid: "Do you know! What are the consequences of slandering the queen! If you have half a lie, I will put you to death!" ”

The palace maid trembled like chaff, so frightened that she almost fainted, but at this moment she didn't dare to slack off, gritted her teeth, and said: "The queen mother said that as long as the slave maid listens to her, she can not only keep the child in her belly, but also let my child become the prince and princess of Dajing, and enjoy the glory and wealth of a lifetime!" Concubine Hui wanted to execute the slave maid, but the slave didn't want to die, let alone let the child die, so she had to promise the queen to ......"

"Bastard, you dare to slander this palace!" Empress Chen got up suddenly, and without knowing where she got the strength, she slapped the palace maid to the side, bleeding from her mouth and nose.

"Queen!"

Emperor Zhaoren was about to stop screaming, when the voice of the inner servant suddenly came from outside: "Your Majesty, the general government envoy Xie sent an urgent report to the palace, it is related to the war in North Vietnam, and the servants dare not delay it......"

When Yang Dean heard this, he immediately stepped forward and took the urgent report to Emperor Zhaoren, and Emperor Zhaoren looked at it, and his face suddenly showed a strange look......

The Queen Mother was worried: "What's the matter? ”

Emperor Zhaoren's gaze lingered on the battle report for a moment before he said: "In the first battle of North Vietnam, our army won a complete victory, and Chen Ji's contribution was indispensable. ”

Empress Chen stared at the report fiercely, her younger brother has made a meritorious service!

Concubine Hui, who was standing not far away, heard the news, her body trembled almost invisibly, and her back was cold......
