Xie Mulin nodded approvingly: "I also think there is such a possibility, otherwise why did Empress Cao take the opportunity to ask the emperor for those words before she died?" She knew that the future of the prince and the Cao family was worrying, and in order to prevent everyone from falling into a desperate situation, she used her death to seek a way to live for the prince and the Cao family, right? ”

Empress Cao died before the news of her dethronement spread, and she was still killed. There is no stain on her appearance, and the emperor has no reason to depose her again. Since she is still the queen, the crown prince is still the eldest son, and the Cao family, who has lost real power, is still a relative. As long as they stay away from the government and are honest rich and idlers, what reason does the emperor have to kill them again? The Cao family had the merit of being a dragon at the beginning, even if it was too powerful and its reputation was bad later, there were still many people who missed Lao Chengengong's achievements during his lifetime. If the Cao family can be kicked out of the center of power in a peaceful way, the emperor probably won't have to risk losing the name of Mingjun and kill a river of blood, right?

In this way, even if the prince and the Cao family have no rights, they can still live a rich and safe life. In the future, if the Cao family has outstanding children, there may not be no chance of making a comeback. Didn't Empress Cao say it all? It is hoped that the descendants of the Cao family can inherit the legacy of their ancestors and fight in the army. If the emperor agrees, then the Cao family, who has been a general, may not have the hope of reviving the lintel in a few years.

Empress Cao was so thoughtful, could this be something she could think clearly in this short period of time after her assassination and before the emperor's arrival? She also had to consider whether the prince and the Cao family would obediently accept and cooperate with her request after she made a request. If they don't cooperate, but fight hard and anger the emperor, then Empress Cao will really die in vain!

Since Empress Cao can open this mouth to the emperor before she dies, she must have a point in her heart about this matter, right?

Xie Mulin said to his family: "The biggest suspicion is that after Lin Zhaoyi arrived at Kunning Palace, he was able to smoothly enter and assassinate in front of the queen. The queen just said that she was sick, she was not deposed, she still had the majesty of the queen, and there was no one in the palace around her, but no one found Lin Zhaoyi and stopped her, but let her come to Queen Cao with a weapon. What were these palace people doing at that time?! It's not so much that they were all bought by Concubine Xiao, or they happened to walk away, or even suddenly became blind, it is better to say ...... It's more likely that they did it on purpose!

Because Queen Cao had ordered in advance, they deliberately let Lin Zhaoyi into the house. The Cao family has been beautiful for so many years, and Empress Cao has been the master of the six palaces for so many years, she must be very confident in the loyalty of the people around her, and it is possible to raise a few more dead soldiers. In the past, the Cao family would fight Fang Wenshan, the leader of the Praetorian Guard, there was no reason why they hadn't considered others before Fang Wenshan, and after Fang Wenshan left office, they gave up. The Cao family also has prestige in the army, so what's so surprising about arranging a few of their own people in the Praetorian Guard? ”

Xie Yinghui nodded again and again when she heard this: "Yes, I think so too." The queen's temperament ......" she bit her lip, "I will never sit still!" She knew that the emperor was interested in abolishing the crown prince and disposing of the Cao family, so it was impossible for her to just pretend to be sick in the palace and accept a new favorite with the emperor. She will definitely do something to dispel the emperor's thoughts, even if it is to lose someone's life......" She sighed secretly, and her thoughts about this aunt were very complicated. If her own mother had such a heart, how could she end up today? Why is there such a big difference between daughters born to the same father?!

Xie Xianzhi listened to the speculation of the two younger sisters, and wanted to open his mouth to say something several times, but he never said it. He was still so shocked that he felt as if he was in a dream. How did the world change so fast?

There was silence in the room. After a long while, Wen spoke weakly: "That...... What is the name of the queen's death now? There is so much gossip, doesn't the palace care? ”

Xiao Rui looked at his future mother-in-law and said softly: "There is indeed too much gossip, and many details are very true, as if the messenger has seen it with his own eyes." Some people with inside information revealed that these news were not made up randomly, and at least seven or eight of them came true. Because of this, the Father ...... cough, the princess and the adults in the palace also believe that this matter may indeed be Queen Cao's bitter trick, wanting to use this to fight for the crown prince and the Cao family to survive, and at the same time framed Lin Zhaoyi and Xiao Guifei, and cut off the succession qualifications of the second prince and the third prince.

"That's why rumors about what Empress Cao did before her death spread so clearly outside the palace and spread to everyone. The emperor issued a strict order that day, not allowing the people of Kunning Palace to leave, let alone leaking news to insiders. The messenger of the news has so much disregard for the Holy Command, and there is only the word 'deliberately' to explain it. But we have no evidence, so we can only talk about it in private. I'm afraid that even the emperor and all the adults in the capital have similar thoughts. ”

But even if everyone knows that this is a bitter plan deliberately set up by Queen Cao, so what? The news leaked so much that there were almost rumors in the wells of Beijing, and most of them were true. Lin Zhaoyi did kill Empress Cao again, Xiao Guifei did see Lin Zhaoyi beforehand, the second prince did make friends with people in the Praetorian Guard, and General Xiao Mingde, the head of the Xiao family, was indeed very influential in the Praetorian Guard. These facts will cause the government and the opposition officials and people to have a lot of associations and draw their own conclusions. At this time, even if someone claims that everything is the queen's calculations, not many people will believe it.

After all, Empress Cao was dead, and before she died, she asked the emperor to abolish the crown prince and degrade the Cao family. She is so knowledgeable, and whoever says bad things about her will be despised and condemned.

Isn't this how the emperor's current dilemma came about?

Wen couldn't help but sigh: "Pity the parents of the world ...... hearts", but immediately thought that Empress Cao was just a mother, and the emperor's father was not so kind to the prince, so he was silent again.

Xie Mulin asked Xiao Rui: "So what is the reaction of the Cao family and the prince?" Are they willing to cooperate? I don't think the Cao family has this wisdom, and it is impossible for the prince to obediently watch his heart and soul die, for fear that he will have to resist a wave. ”

Xiao Rui said: "The people from Yanwangfu didn't wait for the follow-up, so they sent someone to send the letter back first. If I hear any more news later, I think there will be more letters one after another. ”

He paused: "Also, Wan Long inquired about another matter related to the Xiao family. Miss Xiao Lin had already agreed on a family with the right family, but suddenly the man made a big scandal, and Mrs. Xiao rushed to the door before General Xiao knew about it, and returned the family affair. Although General Xiao had the heart to make peace with the other party, he had no choice but to have a temper, and felt that the Xiao family was not sincere in wanting to get married, so he politely refused. General Xiao was going to give his daughter another look, but Mrs. Xiao found many excuses to delay. Miss Xiao often attends other family's banquets, but many people privately criticize her.

The girl from Wanjia revealed that she had seen Miss Xiao eat a lot of sour plums, and the taste was very different. Wan Long looked for someone to stare at the General's Mansion for a few days, and found that his family invited a well-known gynecological saint to come to the door, saying that Aunt Ma had a miscarriage and needed to nourish herself. But Aunt Ma's girl bought Aunt Ma's usual ...... from a familiar pharmacy almost every day," Xiao Rui said this, his face flushed slightly, "...... Medicines for menstruation. The girl also boasted to the guy at the pharmacy that the medicine was very effective, and Aunt Ma's condition had improved a lot. ”

It is impossible for menstrual irregularities and miscarriages to happen to one person at the same time, so who is the liar? And why lie?
