Chapter Ninety-Three: When Fake Is True, True Is False
Empress Dowager Li looked at Chen Qingxuan, snorted coldly, then changed her face, and said to Yang Xi: "The emperor doesn't know, the mourning family has been in Qianhe Temple these days, not long ago, I heard this 'girl' child crying to the Buddha every day, the voice was sad, and it made people cry, the mourning family originally thought that this 'girl' child probably had something unspeakable, so she was so depressed, so she ordered Mama Zhou to call her over to ask. ”
"Oh?" Yang Xi asked, "And then?" ”
"Guess what's wrong, Emperor?" Empress Dowager Li sneered, "It's okay for the mourning family not to ask, but after asking, I learned that this 'girl' child was originally the daughter of my Great Zhou Guozheng's second grade Chen Yuande's imperial historian, not long ago, she was ordered to enter the palace to 'serve', which was naturally a celebration for the whole family, but she didn't expect that on the day of entering the palace, a gust of wind suddenly blew, and then, this 'girl' child was inexplicably 'lost' in the past, waiting for her to wake up, but she was already in the backyard of Qianhe Temple, fortunately the monks of Qianhe Temple sheltered, and she survived"
Yang Xi looked at Chen Qingxuan, but saw that he was unmoved, but both cheeks were red and purple and swollen, the corners of his mouth were cracked, and his heart was extremely uncomfortable, but he could only follow the meaning of the Empress Dowager Li and continued: "What does the Empress Dowager mean - this person is the 'daughter' of the Chen family?" ”
"Naturally," Empress Dowager Li nodded, "And this impostor is naturally a gangster, can the emperor still protect her?" ”
Chen Qingxuan frowned secretly, this Chen Yuande is really capable, and he actually came up with such a wonderful method? After knowing that his 'daughter' was not pregnant, and everything was just an illusion under the 'medicine', he naturally guessed the crux of the problem.
Chen Qingxuan's identity, for him, is simply like a man's back, not only does not have the slightest complement to his career, but even 'gets' it badly, and he is also guilty of bullying the king, and Chen Qingxuan can use this identity to blackmail him.
beat him to death, Chen Yuande would not admit that he used his daughter-in-law to pretend to be a 'daughter' to enter the palace, this charge, he couldn't admit it, so his smartest way was not to recognize Chen Qingxuan's identity, and only let the 'daughter' go to Qianhe Temple to cry, saying that he was inexplicably changed on the way to the palace.
In this way, Chen Yuande completely brushed off his original responsibility, and at the same time put on the appearance of his own victim to win sympathy.
Of course, if Empress Dowager Li is the biological mother of Emperor Yinxi, under careful inquiry, Chen Yuande also can't hide, but partial, Empress Dowager Li and Emperor Yinxi are not in harmony at all, this time when she enters the palace, she wants to take the opportunity to seize some power, be able to get rid of one of his favorite concubines, and have the effect of killing the 'chicken' monkey, why not Empress Dowager Li?
This is simply a good idea to hit it off, so when the Empress Dowager Li saw the 'daughter' of the Chen family, she naturally found some corroboration, as for the real reason behind this matter, the Empress Dowager Li didn't want to investigate, and she didn't bother to investigate.
Even if Chen Yuande did something, what does it have to do with her? In fact, Empress Dowager Li is not a fool, how easy is it to change someone on the way to the palace? This is definitely in the Chen Mansion has already dropped the bag, as for why Chen Yuande did this, God knows.
"How can this be accurate?" Yang Xi shook his head and said, "The queen mother should ask clearly."
"The emperor is accusing the queen mother, indiscriminately?" Empress Dowager Li swooped and stood up.
"Of course Erchen is not accusing the queen mother" Yang Xi was busy clenching his fists and laughing, "The queen mother is angry, please think about it, this Chen Chenrong's appearance is fundamentally different from this 'girl', Wang Xiuyi and her are cousins, and the two of them are 'friendly' on weekdays, have you ever seen it?" The queen mother asked Wang Xiuyi, who is the real 'daughter' of the Chen family? ”
"Oh?" Empress Dowager Li sneered, "Wang Xiuyi, what do you say? ”
But after Empress Dowager Li said such a sentence, Wang Yuhong was stunned and didn't answer, Empress Dowager Li was dissatisfied in her heart, and shouted: "Wang Xiuyi-"
"The concubine is here" Wang Yuhong saw that she couldn't dodge, so she hurriedly took two steps forward and knelt on the ground, but she didn't speak.
"Wang Xiuyi, you come out to testify, who is your cousin, don't worry, you don't have to be afraid of that demon, everything is decided by the mourning family" Empress Dowager Li said.
"Yes" Wang Yuhong agreed respectfully, looked up at Chen Qingxuan, a smile tugged at the corner of her mouth, and then, her gaze fell on Chen.
The corners of Chen's mouth moved, and he looked at Wang Yuhong with tears in his eyes and said, "Cousin-"
"Returning to the Queen Mother—" Wang Yuhong said, but after saying this, she stopped again, and everyone held their breath, waiting for her answer.
This matter is very involved, if that 'girl' child is the 'daughter' of the Chen family, then what is the origin of Chen Qingxuan, who is currently favored in the palace? The concubines naturally inevitably speculated.
Therefore, many concubines are waiting for Wang Yuhong's answer, Wang Yuhong naturally knows that this answer is extremely important, if she says that Chen Qingxuan is not Chen's 'daughter' at all, and the strange 'girl' is, she also committed the crime of bullying the king, since she has known it for a long time, why not make a report.
This matter is at least accused of being an accomplice, or at worst it is a crime of bullying the king, and even if it is not 'done' well, it will also affect the family. His Majesty is very kind to Chen Chenrong, others don't know, how can she not know?
Because of the face of the Queen Mother, if she accuses herself now, this Chen Qingxuan is afraid that she will be dragged out immediately and killed alive, and then, Your Majesty can't help the Empress Dowager Li, and can't help her? At that time, if Your Majesty finds out if she is wrong, it won't be long before she will follow in Chen Qingxuan's footsteps and die a miserable death.
Empress Dowager Li would never stand out for such a 'girl' as her - Wang Yuhong didn't enter the palace for a long time, but she could be regarded as seeing through it.
And if she wants to say that Chen Chenrong is the real 'daughter' of the Chen family, I'm afraid that she won't be able to hide it for long, her cousin can enter the palace, it is definitely her uncle and aunt who can plan, she just can't understand, which one is this playing? And now, she is as big as a fight, what should she do? Can't afford to offend either side?
"Wang Xiuyi, you don't have to be afraid, everything has a mourning family for you to decide" The Queen Mother said again, this sentence is naturally for the heart of Wang Yuhong, but since Wang Yuhong entered the palace, although the time is short, there are a lot of things she has experienced, how can she be deceived by her empty words?
At this time, Yang Xi said lightly: "Wang Xiuyi, do you want to take the crime of bullying the king?" ”
Wang Yuhong's heart trembled, Yang Xi's words, when heard in other people's ears, seemed to remind her to tell the truth, but in her ears, it was not that taste at all - can she accuse Chen Qingxuan? If you blame her, then why didn't you say it earlier? Isn't this sin of deceitful kings confirmed?
"Cousin-" Chen's 'daughter' cried in a low voice, "Please, tell me the truth......"
Wang Yuhong was extremely disgusted in her heart, she was the damn 'daughter' of the Chen family, what did she want to do in the palace, she really thought that entering the palace was to be a concubine, the days in this palace were really so good, but now she put herself in a dilemma.
looked away, but saw Chen Qingxuan's white and tender fingers, wrapped in her sleeves, and secretly made a gesture at her.
Wang Yuhong suddenly understood, and was busy kowtowing to the Queen Mother again: "The Queen Mother, the concubines dare not lie......" Before the words fell, Wang Yuhong suddenly turned her body and fell to the ground, her hands and feet twitched, and her eyes rolled white.
"Cousin-" Chen Qingxuan was next to her, busy shouting, "Back to the Queen Mother, my cousin has had some deficiencies since she was a child, please old man, quickly declare the imperial doctor" But he laughed secretly in his heart, this Wang Yuhong is quite good at acting.
Looking up, just in time to see Yang Xi's almost playful smile, Chen Qingxuan made a 'look' at him, Yang Xi had already said loudly: "Zhang Derong, hurry up, order someone to help Wang Xiuyi back and call the imperial doctor for treatment."
"It's really time to be sick," Empress Dowager Li sneered.
Anyway, Wang Yuhong was helped down by others, Chen's 'daughter' seemed to be a little surprised, and she was puzzled, she was the real Chen's 'daughter', why was Wang Yuhong unwilling to stand up and testify?
"Returning to the Empress Dowager" Chen Qingxuan said suddenly, "My cousin has always had some deficiencies, but in order to prove my innocence, please ask Your Majesty to issue a decree to announce my father and mother into the palace. ”
Empress Dowager Li opened her mouth and stammered, this was originally what she wanted to do, but Wang Yuhong happened to be present, so if Wang Yuhong testified, in fact, there would be no need to summon Chen Yuandefu's 'wife' into the palace, and now, Chen Qingxuan actually dared to take the initiative to bring it up? Isn't she afraid that Chen Yuandefu's 'wife' will expose her on the spot?
The sin of deceit—she should have understood that she would be put to death at once.
Yang Xi was also a little surprised, summoning Chen Yuandefu's 'wife' into the palace? He knew that the current Chen Qingxuan was definitely not the 'daughter' of the Chen family, and that person was the real 'daughter' of the Chen family, but Chen Yuandefu's 'woman' played such a hand, naturally he wanted to put this fake to death and never suffer in the future, and at the same time let his 'daughter' enter the palace to 'serve' openly.
But Chen Qingxuan said this, I think I should have more than ninety percent certainty, right? Otherwise, how could she put herself in danger?
"Yes, this is indeed a method," Empress Dowager Li nodded.
"Ask the Queen Mother, Your Majesty will decree that the parents of the Xuan family will enter the palace" Chen's 'daughter' was also busy kowtowing.
"Okay, I'll make an order here" Yang Xi said, "Zhang Derong, you pass on my message, and immediately announce that Chen Yuandefu's 'woman' will enter the palace, remember, don't tell him anything, understand?" ”
"Yes" When Zhang Derong heard this, he hurriedly agreed, withdrew from Fenghua Palace, and ordered someone to ride a horse to Chen's mansion to announce the decree.
However, after half an hour, Zhang Derong came back in a hurry again, and saluted to the Empress Dowager Li and Emperor Yinxi: "Return to the Empress Dowager, Your Majesty, Chen Yuandefu's 'wife' is already waiting outside Fenghua Palace."
"Xuan-" Empress Dowager Li didn't let Yang Xi speak, so she hurriedly said.
