Tong Yao had tears on her cheeks and looked at Meng Xilan in a daze. "Mother's ......"

She suddenly stepped forward and hugged Meng Xilan's legs, crying and begging: "Niangniang, the concubine has always been loyal and obedient to you, please don't snatch the concubine's child...... Give it back, give it back to me. ”

Such an ugly child will never be her child.

Tong Yao was a hundred and ten thousand sure in her heart, that child was not hers, she must have been manipulated by Meng Xilan! It was she who stole her child!

Meng Xilan looked at her coldly with a pair of dark eyes: "A person like you is not worthy of being a mother." ”

Tong Yao heard a "buzz" in his head, and his face turned pale instantly.

Zhu Qing stepped forward at the right time and broke her hand hard. "Little Master Tong, please respect yourself!"

Tong Yao was powerless to let go, sitting on the ground and crying.

Meng Xilan left her crying far behind, came to the door of the palace and ordered: "Tong Jieyu, postpartum dementia, nonsense, crazy behavior, from today onwards, grounded in Chuxiu Palace, no one is allowed to ask to see, no one is allowed to pass on messages." ”

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and they quickly knelt on the ground.

Now, the emperor is out of the palace to tour the south, and the queen is the queen alone in this palace. Whatever she says is what she says......

In less than half an hour, rumors about Tong Yao spread in the palaces.

The insiders present at the time were all given gag orders by the queen, and no one dared to say more.

Those who know are unwilling to say, and those who don't know can only speculate and speculate on that little detail.

Meng Xilan's "reputation" in the harem has always been bad, and she still vividly remembered her beheading of the West Palace Niangniang.

She is naturally shrewd and ruthless, maybe, while the emperor is out of the palace, she really wants to cover the sky with one hand and snatch Tong Yao's prince.

It's okay if it's a princess...... If he is a prince, even if he is no longer favored,

It was also a threat to the crown prince.

What did the queen do?

Overnight, this became the most concerned thing in the hearts of everyone in the harem. However, Meng Xilan's decision to ban Tong Yao from Chuxiu Palace seems to have proved some people's speculation.

And so it was...... The queen mother finally made a move. What to choose a concubine? What generosity? It's nothing but hypocrisy of posturing.

Just when people were talking, Meng Xilan put all her thoughts on the poor child.

Because he has a facial disability, the nursing mother is very careful when feeding him.

After Jiao Changqing checked, he said: "Niangniang, the second prince is okay for the time being, but you are really ready to keep him by your side?" ”

At the moment, he is fine, but it is generally difficult for a child like him to survive the full moon.

The words of the people in the palace are terrifying, and he doesn't want her to bear the infamy for Tong Yao.

Meng Xilan knew the deep meaning of his words, and said in a slight voice: "Master, if this palace doesn't care about this child, no one in this palace can take care of him." ”

He was only born for a day, and he was almost strangled to death, how could Meng Xilan rest assured that he would be handed over to others. No matter what, he is Zhou Youchen's bloodline, and she can't be indifferent and do nothing.

"Niangniang, when are you going to report the good news to the emperor?"

Meng Xilan raised her eyebrows when she heard this: "Early tomorrow morning." ”

The post official who will send the fold tomorrow will send the news to the emperor to know.

However, will the emperor be happy? No one knows.

It was just one night's work, and the gossip in the palace spread outside the palace.

Up and down the capital, men and women, young and old, all knew about the "evil deeds" of the queen's mother.

She first took away Tong Jieyu's prince, and then imprisoned her in Chuxiu Palace, so that she had nowhere to have a grudge, let alone meet her own flesh and blood.

When the news reached the Meng family, everyone didn't believe it.

Prince Rong Zhou Shirao did not forget to use the topic to play, and asked the Tong family to jointly write a letter to impeach the queen for her immorality.

In front of hundreds of civil and military officials, Zhou Shirao pointed out that Meng Zhenglu had no way to teach his son and deliberately wanted to embarrass him.

"Your Meng family is so immoral, this is the greatest misfortune of this dynasty!"

Meng Zhenglu saw that he was imposing and was about to attack, but he heard a report from outside the hall: "The queen has arrived!" ”

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, even Meng Zhenglu didn't expect that he hurriedly took a few steps forward and knelt down to greet him.

Meng Xilan held the swaddling clothes in one hand and Xiao Chunzi's hand in the other, wearing palace clothes, and walked in unhurriedly.

Today, she has exquisite makeup and domineering.

"The ministers knock on the queen's mother, the mother is a thousand years old, a thousand years old!"

Everyone spoke in unison, kneeling and saluting, but Zhou Shirao slowed down for half a beat, and seemed unwilling in his heart.

Meng Xilan was not in a hurry to let them get up, but walked over gently, sat down on the main seat that only the emperor was qualified to sit on, and said, "Still a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old?" In your hearts, eighty percent of you have cursed this palace hundreds of times. ”

She spoke coldly, causing everyone to think differently.

"Don't dare!" This time, Meng Zhenglu took the initiative to respond.

"Father, please get up and speak." Meng Xilan knew that after last night's ups and downs, something would definitely happen during the day today.

My father is here in the council room, and Zhou Shirao is assisting in the government, and he must be idle again.

Meng Xilan will not infame others for no reason, not to mention, the people of the Tong family are also here today.

Seeing that Meng Zhenglu got up, the others also stood up together.

Meng Xilan's eyebrows furrowed slightly: "Who allowed you to get up?" ”

When everyone heard this, they were slightly stunned, and then they knelt down with a thud.

Zhou Shipao was the most unconvinced, and narrowed his eyes and said, "Queen Mother, what do you mean?" This is a place for civil and military officials, discussing politics, not your harem! This dynasty is a special case, harem concubines are not allowed to interfere with politics, and you, as a queen, should not be like this......"

He spoke aggressively. Who knows, Meng Xilan smiled coldly when she heard this: "Prince Rong, when did this palace say that it was going to interfere in politics?" The palace just came to comfort the emperor and comfort the adults. After that, she glanced at Koharuko, "Bring all the refreshments prepared in advance in the imperial dining room." ”

"Yes......" Xiao Chunzi clapped her hands and ordered the little eunuchs outside the hall to come in and serve tea.

When everyone saw this, they were secretly surprised in their hearts. I don't know what means this queen mother will use? What tricks to play?

"Queen Mother, this is the council chamber, not your imperial garden."

Seeing that his voice was getting louder and louder, Meng Xilan couldn't help frowning, and made a gesture of silence: "Lord, this palace knows very well what kind of place this is. You can't be in such a hurry...... Carefully woke up the second prince in the arms of this palace! ”

"What...... Second Prince?! ”

Everyone looked at each other and gestured with each other's eyes.

As soon as the second prince was mentioned, Zhou Shirao obviously had something to say.

"Queen Mother, this king heard that yesterday the little master Tong worked hard to give birth to the prince, but was taken away by the mother. These two princes were born only one day ago, and they were forced to separate from their mothers like this, which is too cruel! As the mother of a country, how can Niangniang be so vicious? ”

Xu was not in the palace because the emperor was on patrol, and Zhou Shirao's courage also increased.

Tong Yao's father, Tong Hai, was already trembling with anger when he heard this, but he didn't dare to ask Meng Xilan anything in person.

"Vicious?" Meng Xilan sank her face, and only smashed the paperweight in front of Zhou Shirao fiercely, startling him a lot, and also frightened the henchmen behind him, and exclaimed.

"Lord be careful!"

Meng Xilan slowly stood up, pacing step by step, standing in front of Zhou Shirao, only a few steps away from her.

"The prince has been an official for many years, and he has not grown in other skills, but this ability to spew blood is getting better."

Meng Xilan gently patted the swaddling clothes in her arms, looked at him and said, "There are many vicious people in this palace. If you think this palace is vicious, then good, this palace will tell you what is really vicious! ”

In front of Zhou Shirao, she opened the swaddling clothes slightly so that he could see the face of the second prince clearly.

Zhou Shirao hadn't reacted much at first, but when he looked down, he was startled and took two steps back.

He stretched out his hand and pointed at the swaddling clothes, and stammered, "This is ...... It's ......"

Meng Xilan glanced at him and only said, "This is His Royal Highness the Second Prince, and it is also Tong Jieyu's sister, the child who gave birth to yesterday." ”

Zhou Shirao's panic caused others to wonder.

Meng Xilan only hugged the child a little closer, so that they could all see it clearly.

Sure enough, everyone's faces changed at this time.

These two princes...... How did you look like this?

"The second prince was congenitally deficient and had a disability in his face. Yesterday, Tong Jieyu gave birth to a prince and was weak after giving birth. The palace was afraid that she would be frightened when she saw the true face of the second prince, so she handed him over to the nurse to take care of. Helpless, after Tong Jieyu woke up, she couldn't accept that her own flesh and blood looked like this, and she almost strangled her to death with her own hands! If it weren't for the timely arrival of the palace, if it weren't for the timely treatment of Imperial Doctor Jiao, these two princes would have been dead long ago. ”

Meng Xilan's sonorous words made Zhou Shirao speechless.

"This palace knows that there are many rumors in the palace, most of which are about how this palace bullied Tong Jieyu and how she took away her prince! However, Lord Wang, please open your eyes and see if the bruises on the necks of these two princes are real? ”

Zhou Shirao looked at it, and sure enough, the bruised outline could faintly see the fingerprints.

"Mother, this empty talk is ...... without evidence"

Zhou Shipao obviously had something to say, but unexpectedly, someone outside the hall came in directly and said: "The minister can testify for Niangniang!" Not only Weichen, but also more than a dozen doctors and medical women from the Tai Hospital, as well as the servants of the upper and lower palaces of Chuxiu Palace, and the mothers who delivered the babies, can all testify! If the prince doesn't believe it, Weichen can find all of them and let the prince personally confront and question. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar again.

Meng Zhenglu seized the opportunity to speak: "As the saying goes, tiger poison does not eat children!" It is unfortunate that a mother dares to mutilate her own flesh and blood! It's sad! After speaking, he bowed down to his daughter and said: "The queen mother is benevolent and benevolent, if it weren't for you, this royal bloodline would definitely not be protected!" ”

The ministers who stood on the side of the Meng family also echoed: "Niangniang is compassionate, Niangniang is benevolent." ”

Zhou Sarao frowned, he never expected that things would develop to such a point. Is this really true? It won't be a scene deliberately designed by Meng Xilan.

However, he also clearly saw the face of the second prince, which was really terrifying.

Meng Xilan saw that Zhou Shirao had nothing to say, so she only handed the second prince to Xiao Chunzi and said, "You send the second prince back to Cining Palace first." ”

Haruko nodded respectfully and left with the child in her arms.

"Just now, when I first came in this palace, I heard the prince reprimand the father of this palace for having no way to teach his son! When Bengong heard this, he felt funny, where did the prince get the confidence to accuse Bengong's father? ”

Zhou Shirao's face stiffened, and he arched his hand slightly: "The ministers are too worried about the imperial heir, so they ......."

Meng Xilan raised her hand to interrupt him: "The prince doesn't have to explain. The prince also heard the rumors that this is the case, and this palace understands ......" After speaking, she looked at the others and paused before saying, "To say that this rumor is not all false. Because of the prince's words, this palace suddenly remembered an ugly incident that he heard many years ago. It is rumored that the pearl of the prince's palm, our lord of Anning, was once unmarried and pregnant, and he had a secret knot with a drama bead. ”
