Chapter 446: Embarrassment
In the tense situation, Wen Xinlan stood in front of people with a grudge, her face was very cold.
At present, the guards on the Golden Palace are all her people.
As early as when King Qin led his troops to fight against Prince Yin, she secretly arranged her own people in the palace as guards. On the surface, it looks no different from usual, but in fact, these people are all dead soldiers she has cultivated for many years, and they are all loyal. As long as she gives a look, she can kill someone in the snap of her fingers.
If it were a normal time, I didn't notice the difference between these guards.
But by this time, Cao Yixun saw the doorway. He was silent and silent, not because he was afraid of death. It's just that I'm afraid that the Queen Mother can firmly control the situation, and the previous efforts will be in vain.
"The Prime Minister's wife asks to see the Queen Mother......"
On the golden hall, a woman's high-pitched voice suddenly sounded.
As soon as Gan Peilin heard it, he knew that it was the voice of a swallow. She looked sideways at the inner chamberlain beside her.
The inner eunuch hurriedly ran to stop it, but at this time, Yanzi had already helped Gan Peilin into the high threshold of the Golden Palace.
The courtiers were attracted by this slender woman. She was dressed simply, in an apricot-colored auspicious dress with a stand-up collar, looking gentle and dignified, but not arrogant.
A fine mutton fat white hosta is pinned to the simple bun, and on the hairpin, a huge and round pearl is hard to find, showing her noble status as the prime minister's wife.
The most eye-catching thing is Gan Peilin's clear and bright eyes. It always makes people want to look twice.
Wen Xinlan watched her come with all the money, and the hatred in her heart surged up one by one. "Who allowed you to leave the Wandering Heart? Who allowed you to step into this golden palace? Madame Prime Minister, now that your husband has fled the palace for his guilt, you will bear all the blame for his crimes, and you deserve to be put to death. The mourning family just hasn't had time to punish it, but you are allowed to come to the mourning family in such a bright and brilliant way to make a mistake, are you here to ask for a quick death? ”
Gan Peilin walked through the road given by the hundred officials, and slowly stepped forward step by step.
At this time, he threw away Yanzi's hand and saluted Wen Xinlan uprightly. "The concubine came here to clarify this matter."
She reached out and took a bamboo tube from the swallow's hand. Taking out the letterhead from the bamboo tube, Gan Peilin did not rush to hand it over to Wen Xinlan, but handed it to King Yeqing, who was standing not far from him.
King Yeqing just looked at Gan Peilin like this, his mind was blank.
So much so that he reached out and handed him the letter, and he took it without hesitation and unfolded it.
After reading the contents of the letterhead as quickly as one glance and ten lines, King Yeqing gasped. "How did the Prime Minister's wife get this letter?"
"Attached to my husband's letter of peace." After Gan Peilin finished answering this sentence, he turned to look at the Queen Mother.
"Jiang Yu is quite bold, and he dares to send you a letter of peace." Wen Xinlan frowned and said: "You husband and wife are also embarrassed, one is making trouble outside, and the other is stirring up in the palace." ”
"The Queen Mother has wronged the hero." King Yeqing's eyebrows moved slightly: "Jiang Xiang's letterhead is good news." Rushing all the way from the imperial city to Jiyang, it has only been a long time, and our Jiang Xiang has already won the first battle. ”
"What first victory?" Wen Xinlan looked puzzled.
"Please take a look at the Queen Mother." King Yeqing deliberately did not show King Huiqing the contents of the letterhead, and directly asked people to hand things to the Queen Mother.
"Who allowed him to abscond without permission, and called it a war for Korea?" After reading the contents of the letterhead, Wen Xinlan directly angrily tore up the letter paper and scattered it on the ground. "The mourning family wants to hold him accountable, what? Is this a calculation to atone for sins? ”
"Not really." Gan Peilin's face suddenly changed. "The reason why my husband escaped from the prison without permission was to save my life and that of a very important person. If both my husband and I are in the control of the Queen Mother, then I am afraid that this person will not be able to survive. The entire imperial city will also be completely overturned, with the terrible consequences of changing hands. ”
"What are you talking about here?" Wen Xinlan's face changed greatly, and in addition to shock, she was more angry. "Gan Peilin, what is the change of hands, what do you want to do?"
Gan Peilin met the cruel gaze of the Queen Mother, walked up to the hall step by step, and said with heavy eyes: "Everyone present is still in the dark at this time. In fact, the emperor who I visited and submitted every day was just a child that the Queen Mother casually picked up from the countryside. There is no blood relationship with the first emperor at all. ”
"What?" Even King Yeqing and King Huiqing were stunned by these words.
"Gan Peilin, you have to talk nonsense." Wen Xinlan hated in her heart, but she deliberately made every word extremely clear. "The first emperor's flesh and blood, how could the mourning family be mistaken? Do you think that if you say this, the mourners will believe you? Will the officials in the court believe you? ”
"Of course not." Gan Peilin raised his chin slightly, and said slowly: "This is going to come up with tangible evidence." The best evidence is the baby boy who was replaced by the Queen Mother. ”
When she said this, Wen Xinlan's heart slammed. Could it be that Gan Peilin really found the flesh and blood of Princess Qingning and Xuanqi? How is this possible. It took so much manpower and time that she didn't find the child. How could Gan Peilin be found?
"Queen Mother, is this true?" The Xuan King of the Sect frowned and asked, "Pretending to be a dragon son, confusing the public, and defacing the bloodline of the royal family is a serious crime. What's more, this also involves the successor ......"
"King Xuan, are you confused?" Wen Xinlan glanced at him unhappily: "How can you listen to the words of a prisoner and question the mourning family." The emperor is indeed the flesh and blood of the first emperor and Princess Qingning. How can this be wrong? ”
On the same day, in order to protect her young prince, Princess Qingning discussed with the first emperor and brought back a baby boy from outside the palace. The baby boy really died, and it was also at that time that Princess Qingning said that her own flesh and blood were in a safe place outside the palace. I think the Queen Mother still remembers this incident. Gan Peilin glanced at her.
"There has never been anything like this." Wen Xinlan strained her face: "The mourning family doesn't know what you're talking about." Don't you think it's ridiculous? Even if Princess Qingning couldn't protect her child, how could the first emperor let others hurt the prince? ”
"Just because the first emperor and Princess Qingning both know the queen mother's thoughts, they will be forced to do this." Wen Xinlan took a step forward and said, "If the Queen Mother doesn't believe it, even if she brings the emperor here, please take a look at the Wen Po who delivered Princess Qingning that day." ”
"The baby has grown a lot now, and what is strange about the change in appearance when it was born." Wen Xinlan said unhappily: "How can the mourning family let the emperor suffer such an injustice just by your words?" ”
"Queen Mother...... King Huiqing suddenly spoke, and his tone was cold: "Since the emperor is the emperor, why not look at it?" Right now, isn't it more important to block everyone's mouth? ”
King Huiqing began to doubt her, which made Wen Xinlan extremely unhappy.
"Yes, Queen Mother." King Yeqing also said solemnly: "The letterhead that was torn up by you just now has the seal of a local official. It seems that it is not the words of the prime minister alone, and there is circumstantial evidence to prove that the battle was indeed victorious. ”
"What does these two things have to do with each other?" Wen Xinlan's cold eyes were as sharp as a knife, and she quickly slashed across King Yeqing's face.
"As everyone knows, Jiang Xiang loves his wife to the extreme. If it wasn't really for the imperial court, why did he leave his wife in the palace as a hostage when he fled? King Yeqing replied to the queen with a sharp look and said, "And the prime minister's wife, it seems that she wants to tell the truth, does the queen mother still want to stop it?" ”
"The ministers begged the queen mother to verify the emperor's identity." Cao Yixun saluted the Queen Mother at the right time.
Under his leadership, many loyal ministers of the former emperor who were tied hand and foot by the queen mother, and even persecuted by the empress dowager, stood up one after another: "I ask the empress dowager to investigate thoroughly." ”
At this time, Hei Yan had already walked into the hall with Wen Po, who delivered the baby for Princess Qingning that day.
Wen Xinlan sneered, her voice sharp: "Are you trying to rebel?" ”
"Rebellion is also anti-king, how can anyone ever oppose the queen mother?" Gan Peilin looked at her with a smile: "Does the Queen Mother regard the imperial power as your own?" ”
As soon as these words fell, the nurse walked into the hall with the emperor in her arms.
"Who told you to come?" Wen Xinlan glared at the Queen Mother at a glance.
The nurse didn't say a word, and carried the emperor straight to the center of the hall, and untied the swaddling clothes on his body without changing her face.
"Are you deaf? Why did the mourning family order you to bring the emperor over, what are you doing here? ”
Seeing that the Queen Mother was coming step by step, as if she wanted to hide from the child, the stable woman hurriedly helped the nurse untie the swaddling clothes. "It's not!"
At the moment when the Queen Mother's hand stretched out, Wen Po exclaimed: "This is not the child of the first emperor and Princess Qingning!" ”
The hall was instantly silent.
Wen Xinlan fell down to take away the child's hand, but was tightly grasped by the nursing mother's wrist.
"What the hell are you going to do?" Wen Xinlan turned her head sideways and glared at the nurse fiercely.
"On the orders of Jiang Xiang, the slave and maid hid by the side of the new emperor and took care of it carefully, just to prevent anyone from being unfavorable to the new emperor. Unexpectedly, this child was not the bloodline of the first emperor at all. The maid slammed her, and Wen Xinlan was thrown off by her.
"My lords, the slave can prove that this child is by no means the child of the first emperor and Princess Qingning. The child had a cinnabar mole on his chest. The shape of that mole is the shape of the map of Shi Yeguo. It was the first emperor and Princess Qingning who endured the distress and ordered it for the child with their own hands. At that time, the slave and maid were watching from the sidelines, and there would be no difference. The slave and maid are soft-spoken, and I am afraid that you will not be able to believe it. For this reason, the slave and maid also testified. The Wen Po took out a letter from her bosom and held it high: "This is written by the first emperor himself, just to prevent today." I don't want to really come in handy. ”
"Show the king." King Huiqing reached out to take the letterhead.
Can be stable
"Queen Mother, it seems that you need to explain the whole thing to us." After reading the letterhead, King Yeqing trembled: "This is really written by the first emperor himself." Inside the letterhead, there are codes and writing methods that are unique to our royal family. I am afraid that even the Queen Mother does not understand these secrets. ”
After saying that, he handed the letterhead to King Huiqing.
At this time, King Huiqing was already cold in his heart. The Queen Mother actually dared to do such a thing, what is the difference between this and the usurpation of the throne. If he still insists on shielding the Queen Mother, I am afraid that in the future, it will be difficult to get out of the incident.
"It's indeed the first emperor's imperial pen ......" King Huiqing turned to look at the Wen Po: "So, where is the real new emperor?" ”
