Chapter 883: Speculation
At that time, the palace maid was about to get up from under the bed, and when she suddenly heard this, her body was half frightened.
Who in the palace and outside the palace doesn't know that the queen gave birth to a pair of daughters to the emperor?
The daughter Princess Shouning is the pearl of the queen's palm, and the son is the second prince and the emperor's sister-in-law.
The queen yelled hysterically at Duchess Chongguo that she had only given birth to a daughter like Princess Shouning in her life.
Killing her daughter and asking her to forgive is stabbing her in the heart with a knife!
She only gave birth to one daughter in her life, and because she had a love for the king of Nan'an County, she contradicted them a few words, and they were going to send her to kiss, how could they ever think of her?!
At that time, the queen's anger and crying were still in her ears.
The palace maid hid under the bed in fright, shivering, and did not dare to move.
After the Duchess Chongguo left, the palace maids and grandmothers entered the palace to serve.
The palace maid was going to pretend to be casual and continue to wipe the bottom of the bed.
But others didn't pay attention to her, and a palace maid noticed it, the one who robbed her before and was seen by Su Jin and Xing'er.
When the palace maid saw that her face was pale, she guessed that she must have heard something, otherwise she would not be frightened like this.
The palace maid knocked on the side, and the palace maid named Xueliu didn't reveal half a word.
The maid of the palace threatened her with this trick, and if she did not give her the monthly money, she would go to the queen and tell the queen that when she talked to the Duchess of Chongguo that day, she did not withdraw, but hid under the bed and eavesdropped.
She wasn't eavesdropping, she just didn't have time to get out.
Xueliu was afraid that she would really sue the queen, so she could only give her all the monthly money to beg her to keep it secret.
A few days ago, the palace maid accidentally broke the queen's hosta, afraid that the queen would blame her, and asked her to come out to confess.
Xue Liu did not agree, and if she broke the hosta, the queen would beat her half to death, and then she would be sent to work as a coolie.
The palace maid threatened her that if she did not confess her guilt, she would tell the queen and drag her to die with her.
At that time, the queen was not in Fengluan Palace, so Xueliu took the opportunity to run.
She knew that she couldn't sneak out of the palace, she hid in Chaohua Palace, and if she really couldn't, she would meet the emperor and tell him what she had heard.
Of course, this is the next resort.
Because she just heard a sentence, there is no evidence to prove that the second prince was not born to the queen.
The palace maid understands the truth of catching traitors and catching thieves and taking stolen goods.
She was hiding in Chaohua Palace, and she didn't know when the emperor would come.
Fortunately, Young Master Su and they entered Chaohua Palace and gave her a glimmer of life.
The palace maid wants to tell this sentence, but this sentence is too heavy, and there may be a river of blood behind it.
The palace maid felt that Su Jin was reckless, and if she told her such a big thing, she would definitely directly drag her to the imperial study to tell the emperor, and when the queen bit back, she would be beaten to death in public.
didn't tell Su Jin, but chose to tell Xie Jingchen, because he wanted Xie Jingchen to investigate, and only with evidence could he bring down the queen.
And she can also beg Xie Jingchen to save her father and sister for the sake of her telling such a big secret, she is afraid that the queen will attack her father and sister.
The maid knelt on the ground and told the story.
Xie Jingchen inside the house, Su Jin and Xing'er outside the house, and the secret guards were all shocked.
The second prince was not born to the queen?!
If it weren't for the palace maid saying this, they wouldn't have dreamed about it.
The palace maid said that the queen had only given birth to a daughter of Princess Shouning in her life.
But how did you get through the trick when you were pregnant for October?
Didn't the emperor notice it at all?
But there is no need for the palace maid to lie to them, it is even more unlikely that the queen deliberately calculated them, because there is no conclusive evidence for such a big matter, they will not shake to the emperor, suspecting that the prince is not the emperor's flesh and blood, and no one can afford this crime.
This matter is too important, no wonder the palace maid is cautious and cautious.
Xing'er looked at Su Jin, she was about to speak, Su Jin said, "Don't leak a word about this matter." ”
Xing'er nodded again and again, "The slave knows, and the slave doesn't say anything." ”
Xing'er spoke a lot, and the palace maid heard it and suddenly looked outside the bamboo house.
However, she saw nothing.
Just as she withdrew her eyes, Su Jin got up and walked in.
Xie Jingchen looked at Su Jin, "What do you think about this?" ”
Su Jin said, "This matter is not trivial, we must find it out." ”
Xie Jingchen asked the secret guard to take the palace maid out of the mansion to settle down, and to pick up the palace maid's family in case they encountered accidents.
Xie Jingchen and Su Jin didn't dare to tell the emperor about such a big matter, but Xie Jingchen still decided to tell the prince.
When the prince heard Xie Jingchen say this, he was also shocked.
Because it's too big.
If it weren't for Dongxiang Hou Zhao'an returning to Beijing, he suppressed Chongguo Gong.
With the power of the Duke of Chongguo and the Queen Mother, it is very likely that the second prince will be supported to ascend to the throne.
If it really succeeds, isn't it easy to subvert the imperial power?
More than ten years ago, the prince didn't remember it very clearly, he vaguely remembered, "More than ten years ago, Princess Qi gave birth to a dead baby ....... ”
However, Princess Qi seems to have given birth before the queen.
Within two days, the queen gave birth to the second prince.
The emperor thought that the eldest son of King Qi died at birth, and the queen mother was in a bad mood, so there was no banquet in the palace, and the monarchs and ministers rejoiced.
If the second prince is the flesh and blood of King Qi, this can also explain why King Qi has no children under his knees, and he still recruits troops and horses, and has the intention of rebellion.
Because the emperor has not had the idea of establishing a prince for so many years, the eldest prince is registered under the knees of Concubine Yun, the emperor loves the house and Wu, and with the help of the Northern Hebei Hou Mansion, the eldest prince has the strength to fight against the second prince.
If in the future, the emperor really appoints the eldest prince as the crown prince, then the king of Qi will definitely lead troops to attack Beijing and help the second prince to ascend the throne.
If the emperor appoints the second prince as the crown prince, then it will naturally be safe.
This also explains why the Assassins held the eldest princess of Jiuling and the lord of Fuqing hostage, but in order to kill the eldest prince.
At that time, the King of Qi had not yet fled from Kyoto, the eldest prince died, and among the emperor's many princes, there was no one who could compete with the second prince.
King Qi seems to have lost miserably, but in fact he is still a winner.
But the second prince was born to King Qi and Princess Qi, this is just the prince's speculation, and there is no evidence.
And this happened more than ten years ago, so it is not easy to check.
But it's not easy to check, and you have to check it down.
and Concubine Yun's death......
The emperor has been investigating for so long, but he hasn't found anything, and now there is another mystery about the life of the second prince.
The palace has always been the place with the most conspiracy calculations, and it is true that it is not false at all.
When Xie Jingchen saw the prince come back, Su Jin sat there and was distracted, Xie Jingchen saw it and said, "What are you thinking?" ”
Su Jin looked at Xie Jingchen and said, "The concubine has a rule to ask for peace, especially the concubine who is pregnant. ”
"If the queen was a fake pregnancy back then, she would definitely not be able to hide it from the imperial doctor who diagnosed her pulse, I plan to enter the palace tomorrow to investigate, which imperial doctor was responsible for diagnosing the queen's pulse back then, maybe I can find some clues."
