"Thank goodness you still recognize people!" Gonggong Li wanted to lift Zhang Zhang up from the ground, but he didn't know that Zhang Zhang didn't move for a long time, and his body was already stiff, so he dragged his arm off directly.

Gonggong Li was startled, and he didn't dare to move him anymore, just for fear of dragging him apart. Zhang Li's half-dead appearance, I'm afraid he can't ask anything, Gonggong Li simply asked someone to carry him away first, arranged him into a clean room, provided food and drink, and medicine, and it took a long time to clean up his personal appearance.

"Zhang Li, do you remember the past?" Gonggong Li asked.

Zhang Zhang is only in his forties, looking like an old man who is about to die, he moves slowly and hesitates, and after thinking for a long time before he reluctantly nodded, "I have only passed so many years in my life, and that is all my memories of the world, I remember them, but I don't remember well now, and some details may not be remembered." ”

It's good to remember, Gonggong Li asked him: "Do you still remember Mama Yu?" ”

When talking about Mama Yu, Zhang Zhang shook slightly, as if he was afraid.

"What, she bullied you?" Gonggong Li paid careful attention to his expression.

Zhang Zhang shook his head, "She is very good at being a person, everyone bullied me when I first entered the queen's palace, only she will be good to me." So I trust her very much, and I always think that if she can use me, I will definitely do my best to help her repay her kindness. ”

Gonggong Li didn't interrupt him, he listened with bated breath, and said again: "But she never asked me to do anything, until one day, oh, that is, two days before the queen gave birth, she once asked me to go to Sister Feng." ”

"Who is Sister Feng?" Gonggong Li can't remember anymore.

"It's a steward of the Queen's Kilometer Dining Room." Zhang Zhang said.

Gonggong Li remembered that the first queen had obtained the emperor's permission, and there was a separate dining room in the palace, so she could usually cook some food by herself. Especially after the queen is pregnant, she cooks three meals a day in her own dining room. That Feng steward is the one in charge of the dining room.

"What did Mama Yu tell you to do with her?" Gonggong Li asked.

"I just asked her to borrow a few eggs." Zhang Zhang said, "Later, I realized that Mama Yu just asked me to separate her." ”

Things seem to have eyebrows, and Mama Yu's purpose in the dining room is nothing more than to drugged, no wonder the queen suddenly launched it the next day.

"Do you know who Mama Yu interacts with on weekdays?" Gonggong Li didn't have much hope when he asked this, after all, Zhang Zhang was just a sweeping eunuch, and he definitely knew only a lot on weekdays.

Zhang Zhang said unexpectedly: "Originally, I didn't know, but on the day the queen gave birth, the emperor and Gonggong Liu once came to pass the word, and then it was Mama Yu who sent him out, when I was napping in a corner and mistakenly overheard their conversation." ”

"You said Liu Dayou?" Gonggong Li was shocked.

"I don't know what his name is, everyone calls him Gonggong Liu." Zhang Zhang said, "What did they say about the arrangement, and they also mentioned Yao Guifei, I was very simple at that time, I didn't take this seriously, I didn't avoid it at the first time, and I was seen by Mama Yu." At first she didn't say anything, but that evening she told me to wait for her in the garden, and I thought she had told me something, so I went, and she ...... so she trembled so hard that she said for a long time before she said, "She is going to kill me!" ”

How can Gonggong Li not understand, this is about to be extinguished.

"It's my fate, at that time, the queen's situation was suddenly not good, she didn't bother to check that I couldn't swallow my breath and hurried away, I picked up a life." Zhang Li wiped the cold sweat on his head and continued, "Later, I had to pretend to be dumb to barely escape, and not long after that, the emperor killed everyone in the queen's palace. ”

Gonggong Li has affirmed that it was Yao Guifei who bought Yu Mama to drug the queen, causing the queen to give birth prematurely, and after giving birth, the queen lost her body and her life was not guaranteed. As for the prince who gave birth, it is estimated that his life is not guaranteed.

But this matter is very important, and only Zhang Li's verbal evidence is not enough to make people believe it, and Gonggong Li asked tentatively: "On the day the queen gave birth, did you see anything abnormal?" ”

Zhang Zhang thought about it carefully, and only said for a long time, "By the way, I was almost strangled to death by Mama Yu in the garden, and when I woke up, it was before dawn the next day, I didn't dare to go out without permission, so I hid in the garden rockery to listen to the movement outside, and vaguely saw the queen's mother Zhao in a hurry, carrying a big food box in her hand, I was still wondering where she went, and the queen was born not long after." ”

Gonggong Li took a breath, frowned and pondered, there was something vaguely going on here, but he couldn't figure it out. He wanted to go back and check the records of leaving the palace back then, but it was very old, and he didn't know if he could find it.

Zhang Zhang couldn't ask anything here, so Gonggong Li just found someone to watch him and kept it to confront Mama Yu in the future.

Gonggong Li then went to check the palace records of that year, the emperor was furious because of the death of the queen, killed many people, burned a lot of things, everything related to the year of the death of the queen, almost all of them were burned, Gonggong Li searched for a long time and did not find anything valuable, and couldn't help but be very discouraged.

"I don't know what you're looking for, Master Li?" The old eunuch in charge of the documents asked him, "There are so many things here that you may not be able to find them, so you tell me that I will look for them." ”

Gonggong Li didn't want to let him know more about him investigating the matter of the former queen, but this eunuch is an old man in the palace, he has been honest all his life, and he is not involved in any forces, even if he knows, it doesn't matter, so Gonggong Li asked him, "Do you still have nine years of palace records?" ”

The old eunuch was stunned when he heard this, the ninth year of Yuli was the year of the death of the first queen, and the year name of that year was almost a taboo in this dynasty, and no one mentioned it under normal circumstances, so as long as you talk about it, you don't have to guess, it must be related to the first queen.

Gonggong Li looked at him hesitantly, as if he knew something, so he made up a lie, "The emperor has a jade pendant, I don't know when I lost it, he only remembered that the last time he wore it was in eight or nine years, I saw that the emperor was anxious about the jade pendant, so I came to check if there were any storage records for those two years." ”

The old eunuch pondered for a moment and said, "I haven't come to the storage record, I only have a record of entering and leaving the palace that year." ”

Gonggong Li was happy in his heart, he just wanted to find a record of entering and leaving the palace!

"Well," he thought for a moment, "maybe it's useful, in case some greedy slave is smuggled out of the palace, it's good to die if you check it." ”

The old eunuch took one look at him, and went to find the notebook. Gonggong Li noticed that he didn't take it from the shelf, it seemed to be taken from his room, and seeing that the record was well kept, he guessed that he kept it on purpose.

The old eunuch either knew something, or he was careful and had the heart to leave something, no matter what it was, it was a great favor for him.

Gonggong Li began to look through the records of entering and leaving the palace that year, there were several books of this record, and it was not easy to check, and he sat in his room for a night before reading it. He focused on looking at the records of the month before the queen gave birth, and found a suspicious point, he found that in the past month, the Marquis of Qiyang, that is, the princess of Qiyang, Bai Shi, had entered the palace significantly more often.

The relationship between the queen and the Bai family is not close, because the emperor loved the Bai family back then, and later married the queen but only loved the house and Wu, fortunately, the queen and the Bai family are kind people, and they have a mustard in their hearts, but they are still harmonious on the surface. However, she rarely interacts in private on weekdays, and in order to avoid suspicion, Bai almost does not enter the palace except for necessary occasions during the New Year's Festival.

Especially that year, Bai was also pregnant, by the way, Li Gonggong remembered that Bai was pregnant three months before the queen, but because the queen gave birth early, the two gave birth at about the same time, and they were only less than a month apart.

In other words, the current Marquis of Qingyang was born less than a month after the death of the empress.

A month before the queen gave birth, it should have been when the Bai family was about to give birth, and the king of Qiyang back then didn't mention the baby Bai, how could he ask her to enter the palace frequently at that time?

What's even more strange is that when the queen died, the Bai family never entered the palace, and at that time, King Qiyang said that the Bai family was too heavy to go out.

There must be something, Gonggong Li keenly perceived.

On the day of the queen's birth, people frequently entered and left the palace, because the queen's condition was not good, the emperor frequently asked people to go out to find the king doctor, so there were a lot of fishers in troubled waters that day, and Mama Zhao did go out that day and night, and there was a record in the record, the reason was that she went to Qiyang Wangfu to see the Bai family, and the queen wanted to invite her into the palace to meet.

This is also understandable, the queen was in a very bad situation at the time, and it was reasonable to want to see her only sister. However, Bai didn't come, but asked Mama Zhao to bring back some food, and she also faced the food box that Zhang Zhang said.

Everything is fine, but it is not so normal.

Father-in-law Li investigated for a long time, but he didn't find any useful clues, so he privately asked Zhang Zhang to confront Mama Yu. That Mama Yu has always refused to admit it, but after seeing the tension, she was obviously taken aback. According to Gonggong Li's instructions, Zhang Zhang didn't speak at first, and Mama Yu didn't know if she thought he was a ghost, and she was almost panicked when she saw her.

Zhang Zhang naturally hated Mama Yu when he saw it, and gritted his teeth and asked her why she wanted to kill him.

"Why are you hurting me! I trust you like that! ”

Mama Yu remembered that Zhang Li was mute before, so she subconsciously felt that the person in front of her was not a person. I especially remember that when Mama Yu was first arrested, people were so clear and determined to be firmer than young people, but now they are in a trance, and they are a little afraid of ghosts.

The tension was pressing step by step, and every sentence was heart-wrenching, Mama Yu finally couldn't stand it and collapsed, crying while saying that it didn't matter about her, it was Yao Guifei who asked her to do it.

Mama Yu's mouth was finally pried open, and Gonggong Li didn't know why he was relieved, as if he hadn't pressed the treasure on Yao Guifei from the beginning, and was happy to see her fall.

Gonggong Li quickly reported the matter to the emperor, of course, he avoided his own initiative to investigate this, and only said that it was found out by accident.

The emperor has been in a bad mood recently, he has become a little moody, and he can't withstand some blows, and he almost collapsed after hearing the truth.

"You're telling the truth?" He couldn't accept it for a while, no, he couldn't accept it even to death, he was actually played by a woman for more than twenty years?

Gonggong Li will present Mama's confession, "It's true, the eunuch in the queen's palace said it personally, and Mama Yu also confessed, what both parties said is right, Mama Yu was originally Yao Guifei's person, her whole family was supported by Yao Guifei, her youngest son was sick and almost died, it was Yao Guifei who saved him, and she worked hard for Yao Guifei from then on." ”

"When Mrs. Qingyang Hou was arrested, she also did it, which is also in line with what Mrs. Qingyang Hou said.

The emperor pressed his head on the verge of exploding, his mind turned over and down, the two women he valued the most died in that year, he always thought it was an accident, but he didn't expect it to be harmed, how can he accept this?

"Go and tie up Yao Guifei!" The emperor trembled, looking at it like that, if Yao Guifei was in front of him, he was afraid that he would be eaten alive.

Gonggong Li was a little worried about the emperor's state, he had fainted occasionally recently, and it would be a big deal if he faced Yao Guifei later. Yao Guifei's power should not be underestimated, what if she rebelled on the spot?

"Your Majesty, why don't you wait for the Marquis of Qingyang to come and then think about it in the long run?" Gonggong Li reminded.

The emperor has been relying more and more on Qi Yanzhi recently, and he has to consult him for advice on major and minor matters, and even often asks him to speak on his behalf, and the court or study is almost Qi Yanzhi's full power to speak on behalf of the emperor, and the emperor is only responsible for nodding and shaking his head.

The emperor also knew that his spirit was not good, so he nodded and agreed, "What about others, ask him to enter the palace." ”

After Qi Yanzhi came, after hearing Gonggong Li explain the matter, the emperor's anger did not subside, and he couldn't wait, so he immediately asked someone to tie up Yao Guifei, but Qi Yanzhi stopped him: "Your Majesty, this evidence is insufficient." ”

When the emperor heard this, he was immediately angry, "This is not enough? That's enough to wipe out her nine clans! ”

This is true, the emperor is willing, and he doesn't need evidence to kill people, but Yao Guifei is not an ordinary person, she involves the entire three princes and a party, if there is no evidence that can shut them up, they will not give up, it is very likely that as soon as Yao Guifei dies, they will rebel.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Yao's nine clans can't be punished." Qi Yanzhi reminded.

The emperor was stunned for a moment, he frowned and groaned, Yao Guifei's maternal family is huge and involves many families, and even Yao Guifei can't be easily killed.

But where is the emperor willing, this woman killed the first queen, and deceived the saint for so many years, how can he tolerate it?
