Meng Rui and Lan Yu glanced at each other, and Meng Rui took the lead in saying: "The old slave's name is Meng Rui, and she is the big palace maid next to Concubine Zhen. Before my mother hanged herself, the queen mother had spoken to her mother, and there was enough time to burn incense. Not long after she left, Niangniang ordered me to take good care of the little master and separate the old slave with a sad face. But I didn't expect that after the old slave came back, she would ...... Then the old slave was hunted down and killed, and he was forced to escape from the palace in desperation. ”

After Meng Rui finished speaking, Lan Yu continued: "Slave Lan Yu used to be the palace maid next to the queen's mother, and then I overheard the queen's mother talking about the past with Mama Liu next to her, and the queen mother mentioned that she forced Concubine Zhen to hang herself. The slave was accidentally discovered, and then was wrongfully accused of stealing the property in the palace and almost lost his life. ”

Lan Yu's voice was very calm, she was just telling the facts she knew, without any personal emotions.

"Bastard!" Emperor Hong'an was furious, and said to the queen with a frosty face: "Now you have nothing to say!" ”

Now that the matter has come to this, what can she say?

The queen respectfully bowed to Emperor Hong'an, stood up, and sneered: "Your Majesty, the concubine never thought that Concubine Zhen was killed by this palace, and the person who really killed her was you!" If you hadn't insisted on making her son the crown prince, if you hadn't been able to protect her, how could their mother and son have died and fled? ”

"Bold!"

"Don't worry, the emperor hasn't finished talking yet!"

The queen smiled brightly, "What happened back then was caused by you, this palace is the queen you are marrying, I have exhausted my efforts to manage the harem for you, I have never been sorry for you in so many years of reign, and you want to make her son the prince!"

"What a big joke, did you ever have any concerns about our mother and son before you made this decision? What do you make people think of this palace, how do you look at Yi'er? Hahaha! ”

The queen smiled and red-eyed, stared at Emperor Hong'an hatefully and asked, "Her son wants to take away the crown prince that should belong to my son, so what about her, is she also going to take away my queen?" ”

In the face of such questioning, Emperor Hong'an was silent, the queen has indeed done a good job for so many years, and he once thought about making Concubine Feng Zhen the queen.

Fang Jinsheng seemed to be touched when he heard this, and suddenly got up and said, "All this is what he inflicted on you, what did my mother do wrong?" Why should you hurt her! ”

The queen seemed to hear some funny joke and chuckled, "She didn't do anything wrong, I did something wrong!" This palace is the lord of the six palaces, and she is the most noble woman in the world, and the Yi'er of this palace should be the prince of this brocade! You're obviously gone, why do you want to come back! ”

"So you're going to send someone to intercept me?"

"It's me! I will never allow a scene from many years ago to be repeated. ”

"Enough!" Emperor Hong'an roared angrily, whether it was Xun'er's accusation or the queen's questioning, it embarrassed him.

One is the person he loves to maintain, and the other is the pillow person who has been with him for many years, everyone has their own reason, but he is not a person inside and out.

"What are you going to do with it?" Fang Jinsheng asked coldly.

Emperor Hong'an frowned deeply, obviously he didn't make up his mind, it was impossible for him to kill the queen, the Qu family was huge, and the queen did not kill Concubine Zhen with her own hands, and Xun'er was also safe and sound, as for the abolition queen, how could the prince be embarrassed?

"Your Majesty," the queen looked straight at Emperor Hong'an, smiling and arching her hand, "Your Majesty, the concubines are willing to invite themselves to Huguo Temple to pray for Dajin, and please ask the emperor for permission." ”

For all these years he still regarded the woman as a treasure, and she was just a joke.

"Queen Mother!" The crown prince Cai Wenyi hurried over.

He was so shocked that he even forgot to salute Emperor Hong'an, he looked at the queen in disbelief, "Why did the queen mother say such a thing?" ”

Qu Ya touched the prince's head lovingly, "My son has grown up, and the queen mother will listen to your father's words when she is not by her side in the future......"

The crown prince was anxious, and he knelt down towards Emperor Hong'an, "Father, what mistake did the queen mother make, and you want to punish her like this?" ”

Emperor Hong'an's face was not very good, the queen was inherently wrong, but the prince was innocent, he signaled Guo Fu'an, Guo Fu'an stepped forward to help the prince up, and told him concisely about the things in the palace.

The prince was stunned, he knew that Guo Fuan would not lie to him......

In other words, Concubine Zhen's death is related to the queen mother, and she also sent someone to hunt down and kill the eldest brother!

As soon as Cai Wenyi raised his eyes, he saw the man next to Emperor Hong'an, was that him? His eldest brother!

He had heard that the imperial brother had returned, but he had never seen him.

A few days ago, Mrs. Liu resigned, and he asked his father to personally send the teacher back to his hometown to be raised, and he will return today.

As soon as he came back, he heard from the chamberlain that the queen went to the council hall in full costume, and he had a bad premonition and came immediately, not wanting to be such a scene......

"Brother Huang," Cai Wenyi shouted at Fang Jinsheng, "I ......"

Faced with this royal brother who lost his mother and concubine because of their mother and son, and even wandered outside for nearly ten years, he didn't know what to say......

But he could not see his mother punished......

Cai Wenyi knelt down to Emperor Hong'an again, made a big salute respectfully, and said with extreme sincerity: "Please abolish the crown prince and replace it with a royal brother!" ”

"Yi'er!"

Qu Ya raised her voice, "You're crazy!" ”

If Yi'er is abolished, then what has she done for so many years?

Cai Wenyi's face was calm, "The crown prince's position is the emperor's brother, I should return it to him after sitting for so many years, and the child's mediocre qualifications are really unbearable!" ”

"You! You! Qu Ya sighed with hatred that iron could not be made of steel, "Your Majesty, the fault is all in this palace, Yi'er is innocent!" And he was not at fault, and he was afraid that the ministers of the previous dynasty would not agree to abolish the crown prince rashly. ”

Emperor Hong'an really had no intention of abolishing the crown prince, but he always felt sorry for his eldest son.

Fang Jinsheng saw that the three members of the family were staring at him, and he sneered and showed his attitude: "I have no interest in the position of the crown prince or even the emperor. ”

These words were extremely disrespectful and arrogant, but Emperor Hong'an turned a deaf ear.

"Now that the matter has been revealed, the mother needs justice. So, what are you going to do with the people who hurt my mother? ”

Fang Jinsheng's eyes did not contain a trace of warmth, Emperor Hong'an looked at it in his heart and felt no taste at all, he heard the prince who had been kneeling before he could speak: "Father, please be gracious!" ”

The prince wanted to say something but was interrupted by Qu Ya, she knelt beside the prince: "Your Majesty, Concubine Zhen did die because of her concubine, and the concubine is guilty." The concubine is willing to invite herself to go to the Huguo Temple to cut her hair and become a nun, pray for the rest of her life for Concubine Zhen's sister and Dajin, and never step into the imperial city again for life, and ask the emperor for permission! ”

"Queen Mother!" Cai Wenyi was shocked.

Qu Ya ignored him, and only looked at Emperor Hong'an with a smile, she was sure that he would agree.

When Emperor Hong'an heard the queen say this, his eyes really lit up and looked at Fang Jinsheng on the side, but Fang Jinsheng did not say anything against it.

"Yes."

"Concubines thank the emperor!"

Qu Ya bowed three times, she got up and walked out of the hall slowly, walked two steps and said without looking back, "This palace is ashamed of Concubine Zhen, and ashamed of you!" But this palace has no regrets, and if I have the opportunity to choose again, I will still do it. After saying that, he left.

She didn't want to fake what should belong to their mother and son, Concubine Zhen's mother and son had already won the emperor's favor, and they shouldn't take away the others as well......

Fang Jinsheng looked at her back, unclear.

Left and right is just a poor person who has been tortured by this deep palace for many years! Including him and his mother, they are just victims of the power struggle within the high walls......

However, she is indeed a great mother, and in the end, she is still thinking about Cai Wenyi, and with a mother who is resident in the Huguo Temple to pray for the blessing of the country, no one can compete with him for the throne.

He has always been dismissive of the throne, but he has to admire the queen's dedication to Cai Wenyi.

In this way, let her confess to her mother in front of the Buddha for eternity.

Fang Jinsheng walked out of the main hall, followed by Meng Rui and Lan Yu.

As soon as I walked out, I saw the pretty figure under the steps, clear and moonlight, handsome and extraordinary.

At this moment, he was staring closely at Fang Jinsheng and his party, more precisely, the woman behind him.

Lan Yu and Fang Jinsheng bowed slightly, and walked towards the man with a little urgency under his feet, and the man also stepped forward quickly, the two looked at each other without saying a word, but the heat in their eyes did not decrease.

Lin Xianhua stepped forward to hold Lan Yu's hand, and said to Fang Jinsheng: "Your Highness, retire first." Then he pulled Lan Yu away, leaving him with only a pair of backs.

And Fang Jinsheng looked at the hands of the two of them clasped tightly, his eyes were full of envy.

It wasn't until today that he really felt Lin Xianhua's love for that palace maid.

Aunt Meng Rui stood beside Fang Jinsheng, saw his expression clearly, and not only worried: "Your Highness is not small, there should be a caring person by your side." ”

A beautiful face appeared in Fang Jinsheng's mind, and then he shook his head again and said with a smile: "Aunt Meng Rui, this king is hungry!" ”

Meng Rui didn't expect him to say this, and after being stunned for a moment, he smiled and said, "Then let's get out of the palace quickly, it's good for my aunt to cook some delicious meals for His Highness!" ”

"Okay."

……

Outside the palace gate, Lin Xianhua led Lan Yu into the carriage.

In the car, the two hugged each other tightly, Lan Yu was startled by Lin Xianhua's strength, and asked puzzledly: "Xianhua, what's wrong with you?" ”

Lin Xianhua let go of Lan Yu, stared at her seriously, and said, "I promise you, I will never let you do such dangerous things in the future." ”

Lan Yu smiled, it turned out that he was still worried about her!

"It's okay, I'm just telling what I know, and those grievances have nothing to do with me. And it's over, don't worry. ”

Speaking of the end, Lan Yu suddenly remembered her agreement with Lin Xianhua.

"Ah Yu, can you go back to the mansion with me?" Lin Xianhua's expression was solemn, without a hint of joke.

Lan Yu stared at him for a long time, and finally smiled: "Okay." ”

Lin Xianhua hugged her into his arms again, "Hold the hand of the son and grow old with the son." ”

Lan Yu said: "Okay, I promise you." ”

The two of them chatted without saying a word, and Lan Yu suddenly said: "Just now you are so rude in front of King Qiong, are you not afraid of offending him?" ”

Lin Xianhua thought about it and felt that he was still polite to him today, "It's okay, Ah Xun is not that kind of person." ”

Lin Shunhua remembered what happened when he was a child, when he entered the palace with his father, he met a prince named Cai Wenxun for the first time, and I heard that he was still the emperor's favorite prince.

At that time, there were a lot of children who were about the same age as them, he didn't like to communicate with people and hid to the side, and other children didn't want to take care of him, only Cai Wenxun gave him his toys, and since then, Cai Wenxun was an iron brother when he was a child, and he hasn't seen him for many years, but he still has a deep relationship.

He has a cold personality and is good friends with Cai Wenxun.

After Concubine Zhen died, his friends were nowhere to be found, and he became a young eunuch step by step over the years in order to help him find out the truth about Concubine Zhen's self-hanging.

Now that he has an understanding of what happened many years ago, he is also relieved for Cai Wenxun.

……

Qingyu and Jiang Yu finally returned to Anjing, and on the way, they had already heard about what was happening in the palace.

But when they came back and saw Fang Jinsheng again, they were all smart enough not to mention it.

On the day Qingyu came back, Lin Jiayin sent a letter to the Yuan Mansion, saying that she was asked to return to the Gongfu to see her second sister-in-law.

This news can surprise Qing Yu, the second son of the Guogong Mansion who is always avoided, cold and silent, and Zhilan Yushu took the girl home quietly!

Qingyu didn't want to miss this prosperous landscape, so she immediately took their family back to the Guogong Mansion.

"Fourth Miss is back!" The chief butler saw Qing Yu from a distance, and when he saw the man behind her, he saluted respectfully and said, "See the prince!" ”

Qingyu hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, "Steward Lin, are you going out of the house?" ”

Lin Hai was full of smiles, "Exactly, the fourth young lady doesn't know yet, the second young master is about to get married, and the master ordered me to go out to buy supplies for the wedding!" ”

"That's too fast, isn't it?"

No, she has to hurry up and see what kind of immortal actually fascinated the second brother who has always been pure-hearted!

Qingyu pulled Jiang Yu and was about to rush to the backyard where the female dependents lived, but Jiang Yu reminded her that she realized that something was wrong.

It happened that Jiang Qin took the secret letter and came over, and Jiang Yu hurriedly left with Jiang Qin.

Qingyu's eyes rolled, and she turned to the green courtyard. After all, she and her second sister-in-law don't know each other yet, so it's not good to rush over and disturb others.

She was quite surprised when she knew that the new second sister-in-law was Lan Yu, and when she said that during the Mid-Autumn Festival Palace banquet that year, Lan Yu led the way for her.

However, Lan Yu only thought that it was Lin Jiayin at the time, and Qingyu did not deliberately explain.

Here Qingyu and Lin Jiayin went to see Lan Yu together, and the girls were not lively when they saw each other, but Jiang Yu was anxious, because the secret letter said that Dayue launched an attack on Lingli City, and the Battle of Jinyue officially began, and the king of Yun'an was leading his troops to garrison Lingli City to defend against the enemy.

The Jinyue War came suddenly, but it was expected.
