Chapter 272: What a Courage
"Ah, you said that ......"
Yan Ran invited Xu to drink tea and chat, and asked her about what Xiao Ming said about releasing the little doll.
Although Xu was a little twisted, he still talked to Yan Ran slowly.
"It's a little game that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince likes, every night before going to bed, he will pat me on the stomach, and talk about putting the little doll in, so that he can grow up quickly, and come out to play with him in the future."
Xu Shi said, and couldn't help but chuckle: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so cute!" ”
Yan Ran was stunned, could it be that Xiao Ming thought that if he patted his stomach, he could have a little doll, so how did Qian's child get pregnant?
So, Yan Ran went to Xiao Ming for confirmation again.
Xiao Ming furrowed his brows, a little embarrassed.
Qian told him that he couldn't tell others how the two got along with each other, but Yan Ran was a mother, couldn't she even say it?
Xiao Ming's eyes flickered, and he said hesitantly: "It's a secret, I can't say it." ”
Yan Ran patiently coaxed him and said, "Then you tell me, you put the little doll in the crown princess's belly, and put it in the crown princess's belly, in the same way?" ”
This time, Xiao Ming did not hesitate and immediately nodded.
Yan Ran still didn't give up, reached out and patted Xiao Ming's stomach, and asked, "That's it?" ”
Xiao Ming glanced at Yan Ran with some disgust: "My mother is stupid, I am a man, I can't give birth to a little doll." ”
The implication is that even if Yan Ran pats his stomach, it's useless, he can't give his mother a little doll!
Moreover, he not only knows that men can't give birth to dolls, but also knows that only husbands and wives can give birth to dolls!
Xiao Ming straightened his chest, inexplicably proud, he actually knew what his mother didn't know!
Yan Ran was speechless, who is stupid!
"Do you suspect that the crown princess's child is not the prince's?"
Wen Rong'an said this sentence with an ugly face, but he still couldn't believe it: "Previously, you used medicine to make Cui Jingshi fake pregnant, will the crown princess also use this method?" ”
Yan Ran shook her head and said, "At that time, Cui Jingshi and Xiao Zun already had the reality of husband and wife, so the imperial doctor was deceived in the past. But if the perfect body uses this method to fake pregnancy, it is impossible for the two imperial doctors to be unaware. ”
In other words, Qian is indeed pregnant, but it is very likely that it has nothing to do with Xiao Ming.
Confusing the royal bloodline, where did the Qian family get so bold?
Wen Rongan muttered: "The Qian family doesn't dare, but Minyang may not dare." ”
Yan Ran looked at Wen Rong'an, and the two glanced at each other, both of them thinking of something.
*
Qian was weak after the abortion and has been recuperating in bed.
On this day, the queen was suddenly summoned, and she could only reluctantly get up, freshen up and go to see her.
As soon as the Qian family entered the door, Concubine Yun couldn't suppress her anger as soon as she saw her, and she took the case: "Slut! How daring! dared to defile the palace, confuse the royal bloodline, and despise the dignity of the prince, and his crime should be punished! ”
Qian was frightened by Concubine Yun's angry roar, and his legs weakened, and he immediately knelt on the ground.
But one crime after another was smashed, all of them were capital crimes, how could she admit it?
Qian Shi hurriedly said: "The concubine Niangniang, the queen Niangniang, the concubine is wronged!" The concubine is devoted to the prince and has never done these things! ”
Qian saw Yan Ran standing beside Concubine Yun, and immediately understood something.
She had accused Yan Ran of murdering her child, so this was Yan Ran taking revenge on her!
Qian pointed at Yan Ran viciously, and said viciously: "Yan Ran, you framed me, right?" It's not enough that you've murdered my child, but you're still murdering me? ”
Concubine Yun angrily interrupted Qian's words: "You don't tell the truth, do you?" Well, the mourner asks you, the prince has not had sex with you, where did the child in your womb come from? ”
Qian Shi was shocked and angry: "Concubine Niangniang, what are you talking about?" ”
When Concubine Yun saw that Qian's mouth was hard, she was even more angry, and she didn't want to bother with her anymore, so she said to Yan Ran: "You come! ”
Yan Ran took a step forward and said to the Qian family unhurriedly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that he has never had any other intimate contact with you except for patting you on the stomach. ”
There are four concubines in the East Palace, and the only one who has shared a bed with Xiao Ming is the Xu family.
Xu is patient, lively, and a little childish, and plays well with Xiao Ming.
Xiao Ming regarded her as a good friend, so he was willing to sleep with her.
As for the others, they haven't even been in Xiao Ming's bed at all, especially the Qian family.
Because the Qian family took the initiative to [beg] for joy on the wedding night, Xiao Ming was scared, so Xiao Ming still didn't want her to get close.
Although the two are in the same room, they live in separate beds.
This kind of thing in the room, others will not ask, and the Qian family will naturally not say it, let alone Xiao Ming is not allowed to say it.
When the Qian family heard that everyone had listened to Xiao Ming's words, he breathed a sigh of relief, and his eyes showed contempt: "The prince doesn't understand these things at all, how can he believe what he says?" ”
Qian thought that she had done a good job of covering it up, but everyone still heard the contempt for Xiao Ming implied in her words, and they were immediately angry.
The queen shouted: "Bold! How can the prince allow you to question it, and he won't be able to invite it truthfully! ”
Compared with Qian's words, of course, Xiao Ming's words have more weight, although he has low intelligence, he is the crown prince.
Qian seems to have forgotten this because of Xiao Ming's tolerance and kindness.
In the face of absolute power, she is as small as a drop in the ocean.
Qian was frightened by the queen's sharp reprimand, and his brain was confused, and he blurted out: "Concubine...... In order to be able to get close to the prince, the concubine used some means, and the prince probably didn't remember......"
The queen's eyes were fierce: "What means?" ”
Qian snorted: "The concubine drank tonic soup for the prince, and added it to it, and added [aphrodisiac] drugs. ”
When Concubine Yun heard that the Qian family dared to calculate Xiao Ming, she was immediately furious.
But hearing Yan Ran, he immediately retorted: "Impossible! All of the Prince's food was inspected by a special person, and the person in charge of the matter was a medical officer from the Imperial Medical Department. If there is an aphrodisiac in the tonic soup you sent, it will inevitably be detected. ”
When it came to this, the Qian family didn't dare to hide it anymore, so he simply gritted his teeth and said: "The tonic soup was drunk by the eldest princess for the prince!" ”
The Qian family finally confessed to Minyang, and Yan Ran's purpose of promoting the "three halls of trial" to extract a confession was half achieved.
Qian cried and begged: "The queen's mother, the concubine's mother, the concubine can't help it!" The prince is not sensible and has not had sex with his concubine for a long time. But the prince's situation ...... The concubine knows her responsibility, so she wants to spread the branches for the prince as soon as possible, and the concubine has no choice but to do it! ”
These words were all words that Minyang once persuaded her, but now she used them to get rid of her crimes.
Yan Ran originally thought that Qian was a kind and tolerant person, but she didn't expect her to be a small-bellied chicken intestine.
Just because Xiao Ming once rejected her and embarrassed her, she was full of malice towards Xiao Ming and never put herself in his shoes at all.
How could Yan Ran do what the Qian family wanted, she looked at the past with sharp eyes, and coldly threw a bombshell: "The prince is still a child." ”
Qian Shi seemed to have been struck by lightning, his whole body stiffened in shock, his blood flowed backwards, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a while: "What? That's impossible! ”
If Xiao Ming is still a child, then how did her child get pregnant?
The queen said angrily: "Qian, aren't you still telling the truth? You messed up the palace, and you dared to wronged the eldest princess? Hurry up and tell me honestly, who is the person who fornicated with you? ”
The Qian family panicked, sobbing and kowtowing again and again: "Queen Mother, what the concubine said is the truth!" The concubine did not wronged the eldest princess, everything was done by the eldest princess! The concubine's child is the prince's, and the concubine has no fornication with anyone! If the queen doesn't believe it, she can summon the eldest princess, and she can prove to the concubine that the concubine is really innocent! ”
It is reasonable to drug Xiao Ming, Minyang can be said to care about it as an elder, and the Qian family can be said to be eager to spread the branches.
Even if both of them were punished for this, it would not be too severe.
But if Qian's child is not Xiao Ming's, then it will be different.
That's a filthy palace, an insult to the reputation of the royal family, confusion of the royal bloodline, a bully to the king, and a capital crime!
Where can the Qian family manage so much, naturally they pulled Minyang out of the pan, and then pushed everything on her in one go.
The queen had a calm face and ordered someone to summon Minyang.
Since Qian insisted that this matter was related to Minyang, he could only call Minyang to come over and confront him.
While waiting for Minyang, Yan Ran then asked the Qian family, "Are you sure that the person who is happy with you is the crown prince?" ”
Seeing that Yan Ran was aggressive, Qian was resentful in his heart: "Of course I'm sure!" ”
Qian's tone was very firm, but after saying this, a trace of hesitation flashed in her eyes.
It is true that the person on that day was indeed the prince, but it was a little different from the prince's usual temperament.
Qian only thought that he had taken medicine and didn't think much about it, but now that so many things have happened, the more she thinks about it, the more strange she feels.
Yan Ran continued to ask, "How can you be sure?" ”
Qian Shi said angrily: "Can I still not know the prince?" ”
Yan Ran didn't give up: "Did you see his face?" ”
Qian gritted his teeth with hatred and didn't want to pay attention to Yan Ran anymore, but because of the power of the queen and Concubine Yun, he could only answer: "See!" ”
In fact, what Yan Ran said about Xiao Ming is still a child, and there is no full basis, but it is only used to cheat the Qian family.
But Yan Ran believed that Xiao Ming would not lie, and he said that no is nothing.
And because Xiao Ming is different from ordinary people, the East Palace is extremely strict with food control, and it is not realistic to drug Xiao Ming.
But Qian's reaction didn't seem to be fake, she seemed to believe that the child was Xiao Ming's.
So, what's going on?
Only Minyang knows, but how can she tell the truth.
Yan Ran wanted to know more details, so as to explore the clues and piece together the complete facts.
Qian is ashamed and angry, Yan Ran is so aggressive, I can't wait for her to tell the whole process again, obviously deliberately humiliating her, right?
"Yo, what's going on?"
Minyang strode in, looking curious.
"Auntie!"
As if he had seen a relative, Qian immediately pounced and said aggrievedly: "Auntie, Yan Ran slandered me for fornicating with others!" Explain to me that my child is the prince's! ”
Minyang looked at Qian inexplicably, his eyes full of alienation: "Crown Princess, what do you have to do with this palace for fornication?" ”
