Chapter 297: Exposure (2)

As soon as King Duan's words came out, the Empress Dowager Song tightly pursed her mouth.

"Oh? Is there such a thing? "The emperor didn't go to see the Queen Mother because he knew his mother too well. It was a sure thing that she wanted to kill the eldest princess of Hongyang, and he already knew what was happening at today's banquet. So he didn't have to think deeply at all, no matter who started it, it was him, the emperor, who benefited.

What he cares about at this time is why King Duan targeted the Queen Mother. Is it to completely remove the power from the hands of the Queen Mother? But why didn't King Duan consult him beforehand? Is he afraid that he will look forward and backward, and he can't bear to attack the Queen Mother or something. So, how should he deal with it now, in the best interest?

King Duan faced the Empress Dowager Song and said: "When Princess Qinghe married her relatives, the Empress Dowager specially found a craftsman to make two such boxes and planned to give them for self-defense, but such a thing, after being used once, will be guarded against, and in the end Princess Qinghe only took one of them. The other one stayed here with the Queen Mother. ”

There was silence in the hall, and the Empress Dowager Song sneered: "What does that mean?" ”

King Duan didn't need to be afraid of the Empress Dowager Song at all, so he still looked at her for a long time and said, "Jinyu has served by the Empress Dowager's side for many years, and she naturally knows all about the things back then. Then, this box is naturally given to Yuanyang by the Queen Mother, not what Fang Cai Jinyu said. ”

Jin Yu's face turned white in an instant, and she was about to open her mouth to argue for the Queen Mother, but the Empress Dowager Song raised her hand to stop her, and said with a solemn face: "Since King Duan wants to talk about this matter, the mourning family might as well say it clearly." Da'an's situation at this time is not optimistic, and the mourning family is anxious in their eyes. Since you have the best of both worlds, you can't be as indecisive as an ordinary woman. As a member of the Da'an royal family, Yuan Yang naturally has the consciousness of sacrificing for the country. If she can exchange her life for the stability of Da'an, the mourning family is willing to be this bad person. ”

When Ji Erlan heard her words, she not only sighed that the other party was indeed scheming, and had already prepared for the worst. In just a few words, he changed his actions from personal enmity to righteousness for the country and the people.

When King Duan heard her explanation, he suddenly chuckled, and the Empress Dowager Song couldn't hold back her face, and looked at him with a slight anger and said, "If Prince Duan has a better way, the mourning family naturally doesn't need to do more." Now, is it possible that you will expose this matter to the envoys of the two countries and destroy the situation that has been reversed so easily! ”

When King Duan heard this, he glanced at the emperor, and the Queen Mother followed his gaze to look at her son, and when she saw that his face became very ugly, the Queen Mother Song closed her mouth in a daze. She said that Duanwang had no way, so she didn't say that he had no way! The emperor is even more disgusted with her interference in court affairs.

Yang Wei and Ji Erlan glanced at each other, they waited for Duanwang to come forward first, otherwise, they and the queen mother would lose both, and the government might fall into the hands of Duanwang, and then they would no longer be able to control the situation, and then they would turn over. Therefore, it is the best choice for King Duan to take the lead and suppress the Queen Mother.

At this time, King Duan said so much in a roundabout way, the main purpose was to arouse the emperor's disgust for the queen mother, and after that, he could arrange the rights and wrongs of the queen mother along the vine all the way.

Sure enough, King Duan said: "It's a pity that the Queen Mother has always revealed her flaws. ”

The lines of the Queen Mother's face tightened, waiting for King Duan to speak.

"If the Queen Mother's purpose is really to serve Yuanyang for Da'an, she will not give her Hongyang's niece's old things. Isn't it? Moreover, when Yuan Yang was a teenager, he knew very little about the events of that year. The Queen Mother must not be sure if she knows the origin of this thing, right? So the biggest possibility of this matter is that she got a novelty object from the Queen Mother, so that Tao An can see what it is, so Tao An will definitely be able to recognize what it is, and it will be handed over to Hongyang anyway. ”

Duan Wang looked at him with mockery in his eyes and said, "So in the end, this thing will fall into Hongyang's hands." And when she sees things and thinks about people, she will naturally open them many times to check them. Maybe it's the third time, or maybe it's the fourth, and you're going to die. ”

But the Queen Mother must not have expected that Yuan Yang had already learned the origin of this thing from Tao An's mouth. The girl's mind was soft and sensitive, and she hesitated to transfer it to her aunt, for fear that her aunt would see things and think about people, which would cause illness, so she opened the box many times and thought twice. So much so that it happened to cause this disaster during the palace banquet, which attracted everyone's attention.

"The Queen Mother's methods are still so clever." The eldest princess of Hongyang looked at the queen mother hatefully and said, "However, why do you want my life, many people must know in their hearts, what else is there to hide?" Just to keep your supremacy and ambitions? ”

The emperor has been constrained by various forces for many years, and he hates those who covet his rights, and the words of the eldest princess of Hongyang undoubtedly add fuel to the fire and deeply provoke the emperor's disgust for the queen mother.

"You! You are presumptuous! The Queen Mother's face couldn't help but distort, and she reprimanded: "Hongyang, the mourning family is your queen mother after all!" You are so rebellious! ”

Hongyang sneered, she has lived for many years, just to one day be able to pull the Queen Mother down to Huangquan to avenge the horse, she has no shy away from it, and there is no pressure to say it from her mouth, she is not afraid that the Queen Mother will charge her with unfilial piety, let alone die. "For many years, has the Queen Mother also used such reasons to suppress the emperor?"

"Ridiculous!" The Queen Mother picked up the teacup in her hand and threw it at the eldest princess of Hongyang, but she couldn't find anything to refute, she didn't forget that there was a living assassin who was pinched in Hongyang's hands.

The eldest princess of Hongyang took a step back unhurriedly, still smashing the porcelain teacup to the ground with a series of crisp sounds, and sneered: "The queen mother really won't let go of any opportunity to put me to death." ”

"Enough!" The emperor stopped the cynicism between the queen mother and the eldest princess of Hongyang, and looked around everyone coldly.

King Duan took another step forward and said, "So, the reason for this, why did the Queen Mother seek Hongyang's life?" ”

The Queen Mother's shoulders shook violently, she didn't speak, she only looked at the emperor, hoping that he could let these people get out of the hall and end this unreasonable act. However, the emperor just sat there without saying a word, as if he really wanted to let King Duan say it.

King Duan glanced at everyone's faces, took in everyone's expressions, and finally fell on the eldest princess of Hongyang, and asked: "Hongyang, you have said several times that the Queen Mother wants to put you to death, what is the reason, let me tell you." ”

The eldest princess of Hongyang clenched her fists, sneered and looked directly at the Queen Mother and said, "Because I have ironclad evidence that the Queen Mother plotted to kill the virtuous ministers and kill the loyal and good!" ”

Li Xiang and the others standing on both sides of the main hall were already sweating through their clothes, and they couldn't help but be shocked when they heard this. The emperor looked at the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother only looked at the eldest princess of Hongyang in a daze, her back was straight but it was difficult to hide her stiffness.

The eldest princess of Hongyang took out a few things from her close-fitting sleeve pocket, lit them up in front of everyone, and said: "The emperor must know that Lord Tang Xingwu Tang has always been ordered by his father to find out the suspicious points in the old case of the Su family, and later was crowned with the same hat as the Su family by the queen mother and was killed all over the house. But the emperor must not know why the maid named Tinglan was suddenly executed by the Queen Mother! ”

The emperor's pupils shrank suddenly: "The imperial sister knows about Tinglan?" ”

"Your Majesty......" The eldest princess of Hongyang looked at him with a trace of pity, in the most prosperous palace in the world, he should not expect anything around him to be real. She said: "Before Tinglan went to serve the emperor, she was a person by the queen mother's side, and she was the person who was placed by her father and the queen mother's side......"

The emperor's eyes flashed with a trace of disbelief pain, and said, "You go on. ”

The eldest princess of Hongyang said, "Tinglan was once favored by Lord Tang, and Lord Tang was also a close minister of his father and his trust. So after Tinglan entered the palace, she was arranged to be an errand by the side of the Queen Mother. Because of her intelligence and carefulness, she quickly gained the trust of the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother assigned her to the emperor and asked her to pay attention to the emperor's daily actions. Therefore, through the contact between the emperor and his father, Tinglan passed on the news about the 'Su case' to Lord Tang on his behalf. ”

However, there is no impermeable wall in the world, and the Queen Mother is extremely suspicious, so she still takes precautions against Tinglan. That's why I want to take her away and torture her on the grounds that you are too close. After Ting Lan learned of the Queen Mother's intentions, it happened that Lord Tang came with news, so Ting Lan risked his life to find his father, telling him that the evidence that the Queen Mother framed the Su family had been found, and then in order not to fall into the hands of the Queen Mother, he committed suicide by taking poison. ”

The emperor's knuckles were white and clutched the handrail, his eyes were half-closed, as if he was recalling the details of his relationship with Tinglan back then.

The queen mother attached too much importance to power, so when he was young, she was less caring, and put all her thoughts on the emperor and power. Tinglan came to him as a teenager, just the best age for a woman, playing the role of a sister, confidant, and even a mother, giving him all the tenderness and beauty. At the same time, he was the first person in the room after he became an adult.

Such a person, even if he learned that she was the eyeliner of someone else's palace, he still couldn't erase it from his heart, because she had never done anything to hurt him, and his eyes, her look, and her mood could all be clearly depicted in his mind. The little bit they get along with each other is not fake!

At that time, he was also very puzzled, even if Tinglan was closer to him than others, at most he would be a concubine, why did the Queen Mother care so much. It turns out that there are so many secrets in between.

The eldest princess of Hongyang glanced at the queen mother mockingly, and said, "Tinglan did not die in vain, because she handed over the secret letter written by her father when he was dying to Lord Tang. ”

As soon as the word "MeMessage" came out, everyone was shocked! The emperor actually left a handwritten letter!

Empress Dowager Song stood up from her chair suddenly, her face was pale, and her body trembled involuntarily......
