The Queen Mother's face turned pale. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

She didn't expect this palace maid named Xiangye to know so much.

Toon is not a palace maid who serves closely, she is not so impressed, let alone whether she has a twin sister.

It can be said that she doesn't know anything about Mama Zhang.

None of this mattered, what shocked her was that what this old palace maid named Xiangye said was not much different from the truth.

How did she know about these things, could it be that there were really fish that slipped through the net back then?

No, it's not a fish that slipped through the net.

She just said that Toon found out about it and told her.

Toon died in Concubine Zhuang's palace, and she replaced Toon in her own palace.

The Queen Mother quickly sorted out the meaning of Mama Zhang's words.

The emperor, who had been silent for a long time, saw that the queen was pale and furrowed, and he did not open his mouth to refute it immediately, and a very complicated emotion flashed in his eyes.

Now, it's imperative to deny it first.

No matter what this palace maid says, they can't admit it.

"What is this talking about, it's a mess, a palace maid who doesn't know where it came from, she dares to make up a story here in a grand manner, framing the queen mother, what toon, bay leaves, I think it's all nonsense!"

"Little Kiko, give me a hard palm." The emperor glanced at the little eunuch standing beside him.

I can't let this old woman talk anymore.

Xiao Xizi understood, went down the steps, and walked towards Mama Zhang.

Before she could reach Mama Zhang, she was stopped by an eagle guard dressed in black.

"What, does the emperor want to kill people?" Qi Chenjing looked at the emperor with sarcasm.

The emperor sneered, "Joke, a slave full of nonsense, I can kill her to kill her?" But as a slave and maid, she dared to frame the queen mother, and she should be taught a lesson. ”

The Queen Mother also reacted, sat down in her seat again, eased her mood, and said: "Yes, what the emperor said makes sense, the mourning family doesn't need to argue with her as a slave, she should be punished if she commits a crime." ”

"Slap your mouth before you speak."

Xiao Xizi stepped forward, and the eagle guard directly pushed up with his chest, not giving an inch.

The atmosphere suddenly became more stagnant.

The emperor clenched his fists, and the yin owl in his eyes became deeper and deeper, "Qi Chenjing, what do you want to do?" Do you dare to disobey my orders, do you want to openly rebel? ”

finally couldn't help but tear his face.

Qi Chenjing stepped forward and looked at the emperor proudly, "Rebellion can't be talked about, you are not the blood of your father, you are not qualified to sit in this position, I want to correct the name of the royal blood of the Qi family, I was entrusted by the emperor before, and it is to correct it!" ”

"You, what Fuzheng, it sounds good, the so-called Fuzheng, don't you just want to sit on this throne by yourself?" The emperor got up, held the dragon case with both hands, leaned forward, and stared at Qi Chenjing with a sarcastic face.

"Don't give yourself such a high-sounding reason, I am the crown prince ordained by the emperor himself, the first emperor died, I ascended the throne smoothly, if you want this throne, you have to have the ability to get it."

Qi Chenjing took a step forward again, only one step away from the Dragon Case, and also stared at the emperor behind the Dragon Case, "Qi Chenyu, when my father appointed you, I didn't know your true identity, if my father knew that you were not the blood of the Qi clan at all, he would not have allowed you to live until now." ”

The emperor's face was angry with this.

Both men glared at each other murderously.

The hall was extremely quiet, and everyone felt the imminent stagnation, and even their breathing couldn't help but lighten a little.

After a moment, the emperor clenched his fists and looked away, "You are just making a reason for your rebellion, what is not the blood of the first emperor, just by the words of a slave, who dares to doubt my background, who dares to say that I am not the blood of the first emperor." ”

He looked at the ministers standing in the hall and shouted, "Which of you dares? ”

Most of the ministers were silent and subconsciously took a step back.

Only Lao Zongzheng, Li Liangce, and the ministers who took the lead in standing up for Qi Chenjing and asked him to show human and material evidence.

It's not that they don't want to retreat, but they have already stood up, and there is no way back.

Qi Chenjing's gaze stayed on them for a moment before turning back to look at the emperor, "Do you think I only have Xiangye as a witness?" If there is only such a witness, how can this king go directly to the palace with Lao Zongzheng like this. ”

Are there any other witnesses?

The faces of everyone in the hall changed.

Lao Zongzheng, Li Liangce and others are happy.

The emperor and the queen mother were shocked, the emperor secretly hated the queen mother for not doing things thoroughly, and she left so many people in the know, so that Qi Chenjing could still catch the handle after 20 years.

The Queen Mother's heart was filled with a very bad premonition.

Who else?

She was puzzled, but she heard Qi Chenjing instruct the Eagle Guard, "Bring Sun Zhong up." ”

Sun Zhong?

The Queen Mother suddenly stood up.

The hall was boiling.

The ministers present did not know that Sun Zhong was the chief administrator of the Antai Palace, the confidant of the Queen Mother, and the person that the Queen Mother relied on the most.

Could it be that Sun Zhong is also on Qi Chenjing's side?

The puzzled crowd immediately understood what was going on when they saw the Eagle Guard dragging a limp and tied up man into the hall.

It turned out that it wasn't a team, but a confession.

Sure enough, I heard Qi Chenjing say: "Sun Zhong has already confessed himself, Qi Chenyu, you are not your father's bloodline at all." ”

The emperor's face turned pale.

The Queen Mother collapsed on the chair in a dejected manner.

No wonder Sun Zhong hasn't come back until now, it turned out to be in the hands of Qi Chenjing.

How did Sun Zhong fall into his hands?

Sun Zhong is her confidant and knows almost everything about her.

Now that Sun Zhong has fallen into Qi Chenjing's hands, if he confesses, no one will doubt what he said.

It's over, it's over.

Qi Chenjing didn't have time to take care of the feelings of the two of them.

He walked down the steps, leaned down, looked at Sun Zhong with a blank face, his eyes were always staring at the ground, and said in a deep voice: "Sun Zhong, this king asks you, was the Queen Mother pregnant twenty years ago?" ”

Sun Zhong shook his head expressionlessly, "No." ”

"The Queen Mother may have children?"

"No, the Queen Mother had a miscarriage and injured her body, and the doctor said that she couldn't get pregnant again."

Qi Chenjing then asked again, "Then how did the eldest prince come back then?" ”

This time, Sun Zhong did not answer immediately, but was silent for a moment, pursed his lips, and then replied: "The pregnant one is a palace maid in the Queen Mother's Palace, named Cai Qing." ”

"Where did Cai Qing come from? Whose child is she pregnant? ”

Sun Zhong was silent for a longer time this time.

Qi Chenjing didn't rush him.

However, the Queen Mother listened to him more and more, stood up with her body propped up, pointed at Sun Zhong and scolded: "Sun Zhong, you wolf-hearted thing, the mourning family treats you well on weekdays, and you treat the mourning family like this." ”

"Bastard thing, cheap thing, it's just nonsense, you rootless thing, you deserve to be cut off."

"Don't believe what a eunuch says."

"The emperor came out of the belly of the mourning family, he was born to the mourning family, and he was the eldest son born to the emperor by the mourning family."

The Queen Mother's voice was sharp and high-pitched, scolding Sun Zhong loudly, while constantly emphasizing that the emperor was born to her.

I don't know if I'm convincing others or convincing myself.

Sun Zhong, who had been keeping his head down, listened to the Queen Mother's increasingly difficult scolding, and suddenly raised his head and looked at the Queen Mother with obvious resentment.

"I'm wolf-hearted? Treat me to me? ”

"Take me to the heart of never allowing me to go out of the palace to support the elderly, how can I let people destroy the nephew I raised with my own hands, that is my only hope, give me the hope of providing for the elderly."

"I ask myself if you have been loyal to the Queen Mother, and you dare not be unsuccessful in your service, except for Mama Qin, I am the only one who knows about the affairs of the year, and I am the only one who knows for you."

"For so many years, I have always thought that you treat me differently from Mama Qin, and I also sighed at your kindness with Mama Qin back then, even when you asked me to deal with her family behind Mama Qin's back, worried that her family would leak secrets, I didn't have a grudge against you."

When Sun Zhong said this, the expression on his face seemed to be crying rather than crying, and he seemed to be smiling rather than laughing.

"It turns out that I have always been a fool, I have been a fool for so many years, you can let me deal with her family behind Mama Qin's back, how can you let my family go alone? I'm so stupid. ”

"Just because you are afraid that we will inadvertently leak your mouth, you will deal with our closest family members, what a vicious heart you are."

The Queen Mother listened to Sun Zhong's words, her face changed several times, and finally snorted heavily, "Your lives belong to the mourning family, so you should serve the mourning family, if you don't deal with them all, the mourning family will not keep you until now." ”

Sun Zhong's eyes closed, and after a moment, he turned his head to look at Qi Chenjing, "Cai Qing was brought into the palace by the Queen Mother from Zhenning Hou Dong's house, she is a woman brought back from Lingnan by the third young master of Zhenning Hou, and she was already pregnant when she entered the palace. ”

"The third young master of the Dong family in Zhenning liked to travel everywhere when he was young, once he went to Lingnan, and when he came back, he brought back a Lingnan woman, that is, Cai Qing, the third young master of Dong was very fond of her, but the third young master Dong accidentally hit the miasma when he was in Lingnan, and his body was very weak, and he died soon after returning to Beijing from Lingnan."

"The Queen Mother returned to her hometown to pay tribute to the third young master Dong by the way, and found out that Cai Qing was pregnant, just when she was diagnosed by the doctor and could not get pregnant, so she brought Cai Qing back to the palace to be secretly raised."

Qi Chenjing regained his faint expression.

He had already heard what Sun Zhong said last night, and he had long since lost the surprise he had when he first heard it.

If Sun Zhong hadn't confessed at the last moment, he wouldn't have been completely sure of today's events, although he had also made other arrangements.

But none of these are more convincing than the words of Sun Zhong, the empress dowager's confidant eunuch.

Especially the matter of green picking.

Mama Zhang's statement about Cai Qing was just an introduction, in fact, Mama Zhang only had an inference back then, she had never seen Cai Qing at all, and she didn't know that there was such a person, these were all said by Sun Zhong.

Mama Zhang just said about Cai Qing first in order to be more convincing to everyone.

will attack Sun Zhong, also because Kang Yan reminded him earlier that if he really can't find too many clues, he can try to start with Sun Zhong.

He later sent a letter instructing Ren Shinian to set aside a person to investigate Sun Zhong's past.

Sun Zhong's family is local to the capital, he was born in a small merchant's family, he is the second in the family, there is an eldest brother, there is a younger brother, although he has not been rich since he was a child, but he loves his brothers and sisters, his parents love him, Sun Zhong's life is still very happy.

Until one year, his father, a merchant, became seriously ill, spent all his family savings, and owed a lot of foreign debts, and his father still left.

The family suddenly became poor and miserable, and those who asked for debts came to the door every day to force debts, and the mother washed her face with tears every day.

Sun Zhong gritted his teeth, walked himself into the palace, and used the money from the sale of his body to pay off the debts for his family.

He gritted his teeth in the palace, and it was his family who supported him.

A few years later, he slowly got to the queen's side and became the queen's favorite little eunuch, taking more and more rewards, and his family's life was getting better and better.

The eldest brother and younger brother all married wives and had children, and they took pity on him and had no one to support him, and the eldest brother passed on the young son to him.

Sun Zhong bought a small house by himself, hired maids and servants, and took care of his little nephew's study.

He went to the house to see him whenever he had time, and his little nephew was smart and clever, and he respected and loved him very much, and Sun Zhong was very satisfied.

It can be said that he personally raised his little nephew to be more than ten years old, and the relationship between the two is no different from that of father and son.

Later, his little nephew died of a serious illness due to a cold, and the rest of his family also passed away one after another due to various accidents.

There was only one person left in the Sun family.

When Ren Shinian found out about this, he felt strange.

Because of Mama Zhang's words, he focused on checking all the stable women, doctors, imperial doctors, palace maids, eunuchs, grandmothers and others who served the queen mother in childbirth.

All the people involved, he was investigating, only to find that the insider had already died.

Not only that, but the families of those people are almost dead.

Especially Mama Qin and Sun Zhong, who served the Queen Mother closely.

The people of the Qin family and the Sun family are basically dead.

Ren Shinian felt that this was too wrong, and it took a lot of effort to track it down, and found that it was the Queen Mother's strategy to eliminate her mouth just in case.

With this evidence in hand, he used the idea proposed by the eldest princess of Fuyun to capture Sun Zhong.

That's right, it was the idea of the eldest princess of Fuyun.

After the poisonous flower incident, Kang Yan sent Ren to visit the Ningguo Mansion on Chinese New Year's Eve, and the time was pressing, and the note hurriedly written by the eldest princess of Fuyun had only one sentence, "There is no evidence to make evidence, and the grass is startled." ”

When Kang Yan saw this sentence at first, she thought that the eldest princess Fuyun wanted them to make up evidence by themselves, and anyway, it was not to wronged and frame them, but to fabricate a fictitious human witness to lead out the events of the year.

She also instructed Ren Shinian to do so.

Extraordinary times, when using extraordinary means.

After Qi Chenjing returned to Beijing, he listened to her arrangement and did not object, but when he talked about Sun Zhong when he was in office, he suddenly thought that the eldest princess Fuyun might have another meaning.

So he asked people to take a walk, saying that he had found an insider who was still alive back then.

The Queen Mother, who was worried about the incident, would definitely let Sun Zhong come to investigate.

Sure enough, Eagle Guard successfully caught Sun Zhong. (To be continued.) )
