049 The Past
In fact, Yan Shao didn't know what kind of feelings he had for Gongsun Huayu, he just often remembered the scene she gave him, and he would also think of the tragic scene of the blood-stained Ming Palace's mansion on the night of the wedding.
After dreaming back again and again at midnight, he will feel that he has lost this woman in this life after all, and he will die with guilt after all, and the only thing he can make up for her is to avenge her!
Yan Shao also thought that if he had delayed for two days, first welcomed Gongsun Huayu into the palace, and then set out to South Korea, would all this be different?
But he couldn't waitβ
Empress Qin came to him and told him that the imperial doctor predicted that Emperor Taizong would only be three or five months at most, and hundreds of officials admonished but Emperor Taizong still refused to establish a prince, people's hearts were unstable, and the mountain rain was coming, and the Qin family, who had nothing to do, knelt on the ground and begged Yan Shao to promise her, and she must save Yan Xian.
Although Yan Shao didn't dare to agree with many of the queen's practices, he was also polite to her, and that was because the Qin family had been kind to his mother.
During the Taizu period, Yan Shao's mother concubine Dong was Emperor Taizu's favorite concubine, and Emperor Taizong was still King Yi at that time, and Qin was naturally still Princess Yi.
At that time, Dong Guifei favored the harem, and made countless enemies, and there was a wife Zhang who was pregnant for more than three months, and one day a palace person suddenly reported to Emperor Taizu, saying that Dong Guifei was jealous of Zhang Meishang and was pregnant with a dragon heir, and met Zhang Meiren in Bichi, and pushed Zhang Meiren into the pool in a fit of anger, causing her to slip the tire.
Zhang Meiren and many palace maids around her insisted that it was Dong Guifei who plotted to kill the imperial heir, and the murder of the imperial heir was listed as the ten heinous crimes in the Dajin royal family, if the crime was confirmed, Dong Guifei would be sentenced to death, and the young Yan Shao would also be imprisoned.
Even if Taizu has the heart to defend it, he also has difficulties in the face of Zhang Meiren, who is reasonable and aggressive.
Princess Yi Qin was pregnant with Yan Xian at the time, and she passed by Bichi that day and truthfully reported what she had seen to Emperor Taizu-
According to Qin's words, it was Zhang Meiren who provoked her first, and Dong Guifei had a quarrel with her, and she saw with her own eyes that Zhang Meiren wanted to push Dong Guifei into the water.
It's just that the hands and feet of the pregnant person are not sharp enough, and in the end, Dong Guifei has the upper hand, and Zhang Meiren's feet slipped between pushing Sang, and she fell into the pool.
Qin's testimony is consistent with Dong Guifei's defense, the two of them were not close before, they had no close contacts, and they had no interest relationship, and Dong Guifei was grounded after the accident, so there was no possibility of collusion.
Zhang Meiren pretended to be crazy when she saw that the situation was unfavorable to her, and she pretended to be crazy and stupid all day long, shouting for herself and the lost fetus, the wind in the palace turned quickly, and some people felt that she was pitiful and innocent.
At this time, it was the Qin family who came forward again, and she knelt in front of Taizu and swore an oath: "Father, the courtier-in-law swears by the child in the womb, if what she says is not true, she will teach the courtier-in-law to lose the child again, and she will not die well!" β
Taizu was shocked, and hurriedly helped her up, even more convinced of her words, because the Qin family had just lost her eldest son two years ago, if it wasn't for the fact that she had seen it with her own eyes, how could she dare to swear by the child in her belly?
After this incident, Dong Guifei was wronged, Zhang Meiren was beaten into the cold palace, and the Qin family was not only appreciated by Taizu, but also became Dong Guifei's benefactor.
Since Yan Shao can remember, his mother has told him more than once: "Ah Shao, promise your mother that no matter what the situation is in the future, Princess Yi and Ah Xian are the people you want to protect." β
