Chapter 459: The Point of Self-Defense

"Absolutely!" Empress Wei knew that she had encountered the biggest difficulty in her life: how much Emperor Duanhua trusted and maintained herself in the past two years, so at this moment, how suspicious and angry he was about himself!

The things that were so frightened at the beginning really happened, and the way it happened was so sudden and menacing - the despair only turned for a moment in the queen's heart, and she was squeezed out by her!

When Empress Wei raised her head, there was no weakness in her eyes, only as calm as usual, she even smiled slightly, "But concubine, I want to talk to Your Majesty alone!" ”

Emperor Duanhua looked at her and didn't speak for a long time, and the rest of the people, including Gu Shao, didn't dare to make a sound.

Only King Liang said with a smile: "Brother Huang, I don't know what my father said in the edict?" Can my brother observe? ”

He met the emperor's obscure gaze, and said confidently, "The younger brother has no other meaning, but the Song Lu clan not only mentioned the edict of the emperor, but also mentioned the lost queen mother-the royal brother and sister-in-law all know that the younger brother was brought up by the lost queen mother, and I want to know how the biological mother died, this request is not too much, right?" ”

“…… In that case, let's listen to it together! Emperor Duanhua looked straight at King Liang, and after a moment when neither of the two brothers let anyone look at each other, Emperor Duanhua thought about it and said lightly, "Zhu Qin, you go and guard the door, and if there is nothing important in the future, no one is allowed to come in and disturb!" ”

Empress Wei sighed in her heart, she knew that the reason why Emperor Duanhua did this was not to agree to King Liang's request, but that he had doubts about his wife - but Emperor Duanhua also knew that the Queen's Mansion was deep, quick-witted, and far above him, if only the emperor and queen were interrogated alone......

Emperor Duanhua was worried that he would be deceived again.

So he took advantage of King Liang's request to leave Gu Shao, Jian Xubai and Cui Ziyu behind.

In this way, even if Emperor Duanhua can't hear the problem, these people always have a number in their hearts.

In particular, King Liang has now clearly expressed his malice towards Empress Wei.

"A monarch doesn't necessarily need to be proficient in everything, just make good use of the people in your hands!" When Emperor Duanhua made this decision, he subconsciously thought of the teachings he heard from Emperor Xianjia when he was a teenager, and what he never expected was that one day he would use such a calculation on his wife.

And two or three years ago, he promised Empress Wei that there would be no newcomers, and he would live with the queen for the rest of his life.

The emperor pressed the emotions stirring in his chest and signaled that Empress Wei could start defending herself.

Empress Wei stood on the side of the imperial case, turned her eyes to Danqi, glanced at everyone in turn, and finally retracted the Danqi, fell on Emperor Duanhua, and paused again before speaking: "Back then, Han Ji was enshrined in His Majesty's decoction, and it was indeed poisoned by the concubine's body, and finally framed Han Ji." ”

Before the words fell, although the palace was afraid of the majesty of the emperor and queen, they did not dare to whisper, but even Gu Shao and Jian Xubai were also disgraced, let alone the rest.

"This matter, the concubine only learned about it later, and the whole process was in the eyes of her father." Empress Wei ignored everyone's reactions, still looked at Emperor Duanhua, and said calmly, "The concubine body now just wants to ask Your Majesty to think about it, why didn't my father stop it at that time, and then did not punish the concubine, but only left a holy decree for the imperial aunt of the country?" ”

Emperor Duanhua closed his eyes, leaned on the imperial chair and concentrated for a moment before saying, "When you were in the East Palace, you rarely asked about the government. Especially when Gu Xiang was in charge of the overall situation, you just had to do what you were told. But you changed Gu Xiang's arrangement...... Do you doubt Gu Xiang? ”

Hearing this, except for the emperor and queen, everyone subconsciously looked at Gu Shao.

Gu Shao's expression was flat, and his face was not shocked.

"Your Majesty is wise!" Empress Wei showed a bleak smile, "The concubine body is confused for a while, but you are tired of dying and surviving - no matter what the purpose of the concubine body is doing this, it will be difficult to resist the blame after all!" The concubine has nothing to say now, I just want to say to Your Majesty: That kind of poison, the concubine actually prepared two copies, if Your Majesty had anything wrong at that time, the concubine was going to take it together. It is not only to apologize to Your Majesty, but also to hope that the new monarch can spare the prince's life for the sake of our husband and wife dying together and the prince's young age! ”

Emperor Duanhua was silent for a long time before he said, "I believe in my father. ”

- Empress Wei grasped the most important point: Emperor Duanhua originally trusted the queen very much, why did his attitude change sharply? Because although Emperor Duanhua trusts the queen very much, the most trusted person is not the queen, but Emperor Xianjia.

Therefore, after confirming that the edict submitted by the Song Lu clan was indeed from Emperor Xianjia, his trust in Empress Wei immediately collapsed.

So since Emperor Duanhua trusted Emperor Xianjia so much, Emperor Xianjia knew what Empress Wei did back then, but he never told Emperor Duanhua, obviously Emperor Xianjia also thought that his daughter-in-law's behavior was understandable.

Emperor Duanhua believed in the judgment of his biological father, and when he said this at this moment, he naturally said that he had forgiven Empress Wei in this matter.

"Concubine thank Your Majesty Longen!" Empress Wei knelt down in tears, she knew in her heart that this level was over, but the matter was not over.

In the past three or two years, there has been a crack in Emperor Duanhua's trust and closeness to her.

In the future, the relationship between the emperor and the queen will hardly reach the level of these three or two years.

Although the queen has never taken the emperor's favor as her first goal, when she loses it, she still feels heartbroken.

"King Liang ......!!!" The queen lowered her head, and out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of the little uncle below, who was handing herself a triumphant smile.

She was bloody, but her face was not leaking, and she only maintained an expression of gratitude and shame, kneeling humbly.

"Han Ji's matter has been revealed." Emperor Duanhua didn't let her get up, and after thinking about it for a while, he said this, but he didn't continue to interrogate her, but turned to the Song Lu clan under the Danqi, "The concubine Cui Jianlian you mentioned, and my biological mother, these two things are related to the queen, is there evidence?" ”

is still the same sentence, Emperor Duanhua trusts Emperor Xianjia very much.

When Cui Jianlian and Empress Dowager Cui's aunt and nephew died, Emperor Xianjia was still alive.

Therefore, Emperor Duanhua thinks that if the queen has a part in these two things, she must not be able to hide it from Emperor Xianjia's eyes!

And Emperor Xianjia didn't trouble the queen, which shows that what Empress Wei did was within the tolerance of Emperor Xianjia.

Therefore, with this holy decree on the current imperial case, Emperor Duanhua believed that Empress Wei also planned the death of his biological mother and cousin, and he did not believe it.

"Your Majesty asks this because he trusts the first emperor." But when Song Lu heard this, he sneered, raised his head and reminded, "But Your Majesty must not forget, although the first emperor loved His Majesty very much, he also loved the sister of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of the country!" Otherwise, how could this holy decree be handed over to Her Royal Highness the Acting Eldest Princess for safekeeping? ”

She smiled and looked at Empress Wei, whose face changed sharply, "It's just that although the first emperor attaches the most importance to His Majesty, and also loves Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of the country, Rong Chen's wife said something that is not to be heard: The first emperor does not attach so much importance to His Majesty's biological mother, Empress Dowager Cui Niangniang!" However, the reason why His Majesty has a grudge with Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of the country is not because of Cui Niangniang? Please think about it, when the first emperor decided to make you the prince and hand over this great wisdom to you, the most important thing was to do it? ”

Of course, get rid of the Empress Dowager Cui, and then try to mediate between her son and sister, so as to achieve the goal of preserving both at the same time!

Emperor Duanhua just doesn't have a city government anymore, and when it comes to this, he also understands!

He instantly remembered the night when he stepped into the Xuanming Palace with the idea of ten deaths - Emperor Xianjia finally woke up, but immediately found that there was a problem with the medicine brought by the favorite concubine, and in front of him, he traced down his biological mother.

At that moment, his mood was indescribable, he instinctively interceded, but was rejected by Emperor Xianjia, and Emperor Xianjia refused so reasonably: the concubine who tried to kill the monarch was originally guilty and deserved death, not to mention that this kind of thing would definitely affect Emperor Duanhua if it spread.

Looking at the sick and broken biological father, thinking of the biological mother who repeatedly persuaded him to kill the king, Duanhua Emperor's heart, naturally favored his father.

Even when he missed Emperor Xianjia in the future, he had a faint disgust and hatred for the Empress Dowager Cui in his heart: knowing that Emperor Xianjia was not in good health, he still had to do such a thing to hit him, how could such a mother not be called her son's disgust?

This is also the reason why Emperor Duanhua has rarely added the Encui family since he ascended the throne.

Although Cui Jianlian was very favored at the beginning, he had only been serving him for less than a year.

Emperor Duanhua is not a person of heavy color, and he likes this cousin, but it is impossible to say that it is unforgettable.

What really made him unwilling to take care of the foreign family was actually the Empress Dowager Cui.

The emperor didn't say this to anyone - he kept thinking, if it wasn't for the actions of the Empress Dowager Cui, would Emperor Xianjia be able to last longer?

Although after that night, Emperor Xianjia never mentioned Empress Dowager Cui's killing of the monarch, but Emperor Duanhua asked himself, after changing himself, it would never be so easy to let go!

And Emperor Xianjia was already sick, and if he was depressed about this matter, how could he live a long life? !

"But if his father didn't mention this matter later, it was not because he was depressed, but because this result was his father's purpose......" When Emperor Duanhua thought of this, he only felt like falling into an ice cellar!

Song Lu said at the right time: "Since the first emperor wants to consider Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of the country, then you must not let Cui Niangniang live to be the queen mother, otherwise even if the first emperor leaves an edict to open the net to Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of the country, Cui Niangniang secretly does something, is it pure filial piety like Your Majesty, can you still take the biological mother?" Even if Cui Niangniang didn't directly kill Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of the country, with the love of the first emperor for Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of the country, he definitely didn't want her only sister to fall into the hands of Cui Niangniang and be humiliated, right? ”

"In the same way, the first emperor will not let Cui Jianpi, who Cui Niangniang loves very much, stay by your majesty's side for a long time!"

"After all, how can Cui Jianlian not help Cui Niangniang?"

"So the queen mother designed to eradicate these two, and it was in the hands of the first emperor!"

"How could the first emperor blame the queen for the death of Cui Niangniang's aunt and nephew?"

"Of course, the first emperor loves you the most, the queen mother is so deep, of course the first emperor is also worried that the queen mother will one day be unfavorable to you!"

"It is to leave an edict as a backhand to control the queen's mother!"

"The reason why Han Ji is only mentioned in the edict is that Your Majesty Shengming must understand the reason!"

- For this reason, it is natural that Emperor Xianjia did not want Emperor Duanhua to know that the death of Empress Dowager Cui was at his own behest. How could the death of the Cui family's aunt and nephew be mentioned in the edict?

Jian Xubai, whose face sank like water, exchanged glances with Gu Shao, who was expressionless below, and there was a thought in his heart: Who did such an exquisite plan come from?!
