The eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom was shocked when she saw the people sent by Emperor Duanhua, and she thought that there was something wrong with the Empress Dowager.

Hurried to the palace, saw the Empress Dowager sitting on the top, accompanied by Emperor Duanhua at the bottom, only Yuguo served tea in the wide hall, and even Emperor Duanhua's henchmen were not there, so I knew that the emperor had something to find himself.

"What's wrong?" The eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom saluted the Empress Dowager, raised her hand to exempt the emperor's family gift, and asked in surprise, "What's wrong?" ”

"The real culprit behind Qing Yue's attack has been found out." Emperor Duanhua looked at the Empress Dowager when she heard this, and the Empress Dowager nodded to her grandson, let her daughter take a seat, and said, "It is your father-in-law Jian Pingyu, and your concubine Jian Lihuan!" ”

The defenseless eldest princess was stunned at first, then her face turned pale, stared at Emperor Duanhua, and said coldly: "Is this true?!" ”

"It was Wei Shangshu who went to check." Emperor Duanhua trusted Gu Shao very much, and he didn't expect Gu Shao to eradicate Jian Pingyu with his own hands - after all, the grievances of these two people were twenty years ago, and after Gu Shao recovered before, when he worked with Jian Xubai, Jian Pingyu's grandson, he didn't have any intention of anger, how could the emperor suspect that Gu Shao suddenly had murderous intentions towards Jian Pingyu?

Especially Gu Shao's insistence on avoiding suspicion and asking Emperor Duanhua to choose another person to investigate thoroughly made Emperor Duanhua feel that this matter had nothing to do with Gu Shao, it was purely a thief's weak heart, and Gu Shao saw a flaw when he came to inquire about the news!

This will be in order not to divert the topic, and also because Emperor Duanhua is eager to avenge the second prince, he is too lazy to talk about twists and turns, and said directly, "All the evidence has been taken, can the imperial aunt take a look at it immediately?" ”

He gritted his teeth and said, "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it!" ”

"Since it was the queen's father who went to investigate, there is no need to look at the evidence." Wei Xi and Jian Pingyu have never had a grudge, and Jian Pingyu has long been away from the court, so why should Wei Xi get along with him?

Thinking so, the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom smiled miserably and said, "I also ask Your Majesty to punish the crime!" ”

As he spoke, he got up and left his seat, and he was about to bow down to Emperor Duanhua.

Emperor Duanhua hurriedly got up and hugged him, and said, "Auntie, what are you doing?" What does Jian Pingyu's father and son do has to do with my aunt?! Today, my nephew invited my aunt to come, because I was afraid that my aunt would be angry after knowing the truth - if my aunt asked for such a crime again, she would not treat her nephew as her own! ”

When the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom heard this, she and the empress dowager felt a warm heart, thinking that in the past, the emperor did not hurt the emperor in vain, but this emperor really respected their two elders.

"I know Your Majesty's intentions, but it's just such a crazy thing, and I never said that it was just for the sake of saving my face!" The eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom was personally helped back to her seat by Emperor Duanhua, and after calming down, she said, "What's more, there are no outsiders here, and I'll tell you the truth: there has been no husband and wife between me and the concubine, and the reason why I haven't been separated is just for the sake of the children, so the disposal of Jian Pingyu's father and son, don't worry about my bad face - haven't I dragged the royal family enough over the years?" The first emperor and His Majesty are willing to tolerate me, which is already a great kindness! ”

"What did my aunt say?" When Emperor Duanhua heard this, he hurriedly said, "When my father was here, I often said that if it weren't for the strong support of your aunts in the past, where would this great world get our father and son?" And when his nephew was still in the East Palace, he also relied on his aunt to take care of him. This kindness, my nephew will never forget in this life! ”

The eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom choked up and said: "Your Majesty's words make me more and more ashamed - I have not been blessed to meet a good horse in my life, but I have a good brother and nephew, and this life is not in vain!" ”

"It's all my own family, everyone knows these words, and it's the same whether they say it or not." The Empress Dowager has not been in good health for the past year, two days ago I heard that a great-grandson died, although the Empress Dowager has been accustomed to seeing the death of younger generations, and the second prince has never seen her twice in his life, but his own blood is gone, and his heart is always uncomfortable.

She was not in good spirits this time, so she didn't want to delay time, so she said, "Let's discuss how to deal with this matter!" ”

…… Half an hour later, Emperor Duanhua got up and retired with the Empress Dowager.

The eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom stayed-after the mother and daughter saw the back of Emperor Duanhua disappear into the palace gate, they said in unison: "Your Majesty is becoming more and more like the first emperor!" ”

Then they glanced at each other: The eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom has no feelings for Jian Pingyu and Jian Likuang's father and son, and after knowing that they murdered their beloved son Jian Xubai, she will definitely not intercede for them, how could Emperor Duanhua not know this?

The reason why he called his aunt to his grandmother for a showdown was not only because he was afraid that the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom would be angry, but also because he wanted to deal with this matter perfectly.

- Regardless of whether Emperor Duanhua disposed of Jian Pingyu and Jian Likuang openly or secretly, these two have a lot to do with the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom, once the eldest princess knows about this, even if she doesn't feel sorry for Jian Pingyu and Jian Likuang, she will have a feeling of being offended: it depends on the owner to beat the dog!

Especially the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom was very courteous when she was in the Xianjia Dynasty, and Emperor Duanhua was her junior, if Emperor Duanhua greeted without a start, the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom would definitely give birth to the feeling of "a son of heaven and a person" of Concubine Jiang, so as to create an estrangement between Emperor Duanhua.

But now Emperor Duanhua first invited this aunt over, and asked the Empress Dowager to come forward to explain what happened - the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom, as the daughter-in-law and wife of the "real culprit behind the scenes" of smallpox, even if she is also the victim's parent, she will be involved in the end, so she will definitely be guilty.

At this time, Emperor Duanhua forgave her, and said some words about the affection of her aunt and nephew, recalling the kindness of the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom to herself, how could she not bring the aunt-nephew relationship that was not bad again?

And the Empress Dowager, who sees her grandson and daughter getting along harmoniously, will also be more satisfied with Emperor Duanhua.

In this way, the next thing is that the three of them discussed how to deal with this matter, in fact, how could the Empress Dowager and the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom go against the will of Emperor Duanhua? In the end, don't you ask Emperor Duanhua to take the idea of everything?

In this way, Emperor Duanhua not only decided on the disposal of Jian Pingyu and Jian Likuang according to his own wishes, but also brushed a good impression in front of his grandmother and aunt, and also made his father-in-law and her husband, the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom, who was about to be tragic, have no complaints and only gratitude - this kind of calculation with one stone is Emperor Xianjia's forte, but Emperor Duanhua, who grew up in a honey pot, has never been able to learn it before.

Now that he has been the emperor for a whole year, he has finally begun to be impregnated with the methods that the emperor should have, intentionally or unintentionally.

Of course, such a calculation can't hide the eyes of the Empress Dowager and the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom - the ups and downs experienced by these two are not comparable to the Duanhua Emperor - but neither the Empress Dowager nor the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom have any objection to this.

After all, Emperor Duanhua is not only their blood junior, but also maintains enough respect for them, and there is no malice, of course they hope that the emperor will be more wise and continue the prosperous era created by Emperor Xianjia.

In this way, Emperor Xianjia under Jiuquan can also be pleased with the heir he has chosen.

"Our two generations have had a bad life, and we have suffered too much." The Empress Dowager sighed for a while, as if to say to herself, "But look at the children below, don't be like us!" ”

The eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom lost her mind for a moment before she smiled reluctantly: "What the queen mother said!" ”

When their mother and daughter were talking here, they were about to go back to Emperor Duanhua in their palace, but they were stopped halfway: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has something urgent to ask for!" ”

"The Queen Mother?" Emperor Duanhua frowned, he is now in a hurry to arrange it, so as to avenge his son - in the end, the Empress Dowager Su is not his biological mother, and the relationship between mother and son is not close, not long ago, the Empress Dowager was quite anxious, and when he heard that the Empress Dowager Su was invited, he felt a little irritable: When don't you come to find it, but when I have something?

Although he knew that the Empress Dowager Su was not a person who had nothing to do and would not bother himself rashly, because he didn't care much about the Empress Dowager, he naturally felt that the Empress Dowager's affairs were definitely not as important as the one he wanted to do.

"Your Majesty, it is Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess of Changxing who has received news, and the Queen Mother thinks that the matter is very serious, and she must inform you immediately!" The people in the palace saw Emperor Duanhua's displeasure, for fear that he would not go, so they were busy and blessed, and whispered, "The slave maid listened to it and seemed to ...... It seems to have something to do with smallpox! ”

"Huh?" Emperor Duanhua was slightly stunned, in his opinion, Wei Xi had already investigated the smallpox very clearly, what news did Empress Dowager Su get here?

He thought about it for a while, and suddenly thought that Changxingcai and Li's colt was Jian Yiyu, so, is it?

Sure enough, after a while, Emperor Hua arrived in front of the Empress Dowager Su, and the Empress Dowager Su raised her hand to excuse him because she was hoarse and couldn't speak, and then nodded to the eldest princess of Changxing who was supporting her, and motioned for Changxing to come by herself.

Changxing first made a family salute to Emperor Duanhua, and then frowned lightly and said: "Brother Huang, this matter is to blame me: the servant on the side of Jianyi Jubei Courtyard is called Fen'er, as early as when he came to Cuihua Mountain, he sent a message to the trustee to come in, saying that there is something important to tell - but the imperial brother also knows that I will not be in good health when I come, and I will be tired of the director; Second, I really wasn't in the mood to have anything to do with Jian Yiyu's side, so I ignored it all the time. ”

"Who would have thought that Fen'er asked someone to hand over the letter again, but what he said was...... But it has something to do with smallpox! That's when I realized she really had something important to tell! ”

Speaking of this, Changxing said with a gloomy expression, "It's all to blame for my carelessness and missing such important news!" Otherwise, the second prince would not ......"

She bowed her head sadly.

When Emperor Duanhua heard this, his face was also pale with anger - only the words of reprimand came to his mouth, but he noticed that his mother-in-law, Empress Dowager Su, was looking at him pleadingly, although this mother-in-law was middle-aged, because of her pampering, she always looked at least ten years younger than her actual age.

Now it has only been a year since Emperor Xianjia's death, but it seems that he is twenty years old, and his sideburns have a frost color.

Emperor Duanhua remembered the Empress Dowager's sentence "After all, I accompanied your father all the way through the ups and downs", his heart softened, and he was silent for a while, but in the end he suppressed his anger and said stiffly: "So what did Fen'er tell you this time?" ”

"Not Fen'er, actually." Changxing bit his lip, didn't dare to look at him, and said in a low voice, "Fen'er is the one who serves Aunt Shen—that is Jian Yiyou's concubine Shen Qimo." That's why I don't want to pay attention to her! This time, I asked people to go to see her outside the palace, and she really just brought a message for Aunt Shen. ”

"Aunt Shen?" Emperor Duanhua's anger dissipated a little when he heard this, with the relationship between Changxing and Shen Qimo, she was on the eve of the summer vacation, so it was human nature that she was unwilling to pay attention to the people around Shen Qimo!

Nodding, the emperor motioned for Changxing to continue.

Changxing said: "Aunt Shen observed that during this time, Uncle Jian often went to Jian Yiyou's place privately and talked with Jian Yiyu secretly. As for what she talked about, she didn't know, but the father and son seemed to have a bit of a dispute, and once, Jian Yi hugged his son and said to Uncle Jian, look, how can such a big child do it? Uncle Jane said, horizontal and vertical...... He doesn't feel distressed! ”

When Aunt Shen heard this, she thought that Uncle Jian was going to use her child to do something, and she was very worried! It's just that she doesn't have anyone to ask for help - Old Lady Duanmu can live in the imperial capital is already the imperial grandmother's kindness, where can she help her? She thought about it, and even thought of begging me! ”

"It's a pity that I didn't pay attention to that meeting, ignored her, and missed the opportunity to detect something wrong in advance-"

And today Changxing only knew that Shen Qimo had been paying close attention to the actions of Jian Likuang's father and son because he was worried about his son, but unexpectedly found that the words that the father and son had argued before were not trying to move her son, but to move Jian Qingyue, the daughter of Jian Xubai!

Jian Yi still disapproves, so he hugged his child, hoping to impress Jian Likuang with his innocence.

But it was clear that he had failed!

And after Shen Qimo knew about this, she was terrified, and learned that when the Lu family was suspected before, she betrayed the Lu Xu family of the whole family, although she was also involved, but her two children received additional pardons, and there were rumors in the palace that no matter how the Lu family disposed of it, the two children could take part of the Lu Xu family's dowry and go to live with relatives.

There is such an example, after careful consideration, Shen Qimo resolutely decided to follow Lu Xu's example and earn a way for his son to live!

- Otherwise, the second prince is gone, and the truth will be exposed one day, how can her son have a good end?!

The smallpox incident was caused by the infighting in the Jian family, this "truth" Emperor Duanhua already knew, and then listened to Changxing's testimony at this moment, but added regret, anger, disappointment, remorse and other emotions, he was in a complicated mood, and was about to leave, but he didn't want the Empress Dowager Su to be dumbfounded, and said with difficulty: "The emperor doesn't look surprised, but he already knows?" ”

Seeing Emperor Duanhua's head, the Queen Mother groaned and said, "So, I don't know how the emperor plans to deal with this matter?" Maybe say it with the mourners? ”
