Jian Limiao's expectation was good, Emperor Duanhua did know some secrets that could not be publicized.

This secret is so unbearable that Emperor Duanhua didn't even have the courage to discuss it with Empress Wei, the wife of Jiefa, let alone tell anyone else!

"Father Emperor has been at the end of his crossbow since April of the twenty-second year of Xianjia, let alone let the concubines sleep!" Thinking back to the secret announcement of the Tai Hospital's judgment not long ago, Emperor Duanhua only felt angry, "Then how did King Qing, who was born to Concubine Nuan, come about?!" ”

King Qing was born on March 11 of the first year of Duanhua, counting the days, he should have been conceived in the month when Emperor Xianjia died.

At that time, Concubine Nuan, who was still a warm beauty, had been serving by Emperor Xianjia's side, and Empress Dowager Su was sad that her own son failed to seize the throne, so she no longer cared about palace affairs.

So during that time, the palace couldn't be said to be a mess, but there were slackness in many places.

In this case, after Concubine Nuan was pregnant, she said that she served Emperor Xianjia on a certain day of the month, and after finding out that the history of Tong was not recorded, everyone thought that the responsible palace people were negligent in their duties, and after punishing the palace people, they also made up for it - because this kind of omission has happened before.

What's more, in addition to the criticism of slaughtering his siblings, Emperor Xianjia is recognized as a wise and martial artist, who would have thought that he would be cuckolded?!

If it weren't for the fact that the Tai Hospital, who was responsible for the diagnosis and treatment of Emperor Xianjia, was very old, had no days to live, and had no children, thinking about serving the first emperor in the end, he couldn't bear to bring this secret into the coffin in vain, and quietly told Emperor Duanhua what he said, Emperor Duanhua was afraid that he would still think that King Qing was his own brother!

Of course, with Emperor Duanhua's trust in Jian Xubai, when he began to doubt King Qing's bloodline, he didn't think of his cousin.

But the results he sent someone to check on all pointed to Jian Xubai!

One of the things that made him suspect the most was that during the period when Emperor Xianjia was in a coma and the seizure of the crown was the most intense, Jian Xubai went to Xuanming Palace to serve at the request of Empress Wei, who was still the crown princess.

According to the rules, when entering and leaving the palace in this case, everything brought must be recorded and checked.

Among the objects when Jian Xubai entered the palace, there was a white hosta, but when he left the palace, he disappeared - Ji Su's explanation to the guards at that time was that he accidentally broke it, so he threw it away.

The guards all knew that Jian Xubai was noble, and he would not pursue such a trivial matter, so he didn't ask after hearing the words.

But now......

Emperor Duanhua looked at his desk - the flawless mutton fat and jade were carved into a bamboo shape, the whole hairpin was delicate and ancient, and the traces of time were clear at a glance, and it was definitely not an object that could be seen everywhere. If you touch the hairpin, it will reveal the hollow mechanism, and Emperor Duanhua has already found a trustworthy doctor to test, and in this hairpin, there has been an antidote pill.

It was the kind of antidote pill that Concubine Nuan gave to Emperor Xianjia in the bowl of medicine back then!

This hairpin was secretly searched by Emperor Duanhua from the secret palace of Concubine Nuan.

According to the return of the guards, the hairpin was wrapped in a glass box with three layers inside and outside, which shows how much Concubine Nuan cherishes it!

This is called Emperor Duanhua, how can he not doubt Jian Xubai?

That's right, when Emperor Xianjia died in Cuihua Mountain, Jian Xubai entered the palace to comfort the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager Su, and met Concubine Nuan in the middle, and he told Emperor Duanhua about this matter - but at that time, Emperor Duanhua did not suspect this cousin, so he just listened to it; Thinking about it now, maybe after Jian Xubai had a private meeting with Concubine Nuan, he was afraid that he would be seen in the dark, so he went to his own place to report it first?

Emperor Duanhua really regarded Jian Xubai as a younger brother, because he was made a prince when he was very young, he was personally taught by Emperor Xianjia, and he didn't get along much with his biological mother Cui Guifei, and he didn't have many opportunities to meet with his younger brother Liang Wang.

However, after Jian Xubai was raised by the Empress Dowager, because Emperor Xianjia's maid was very filial, even if he was busy with government affairs, he would often go to visit the Empress Dowager in person - when he went, he would probably bring Emperor Duanhua, so Emperor Duanhua can be said to have grown up watching Jian Xubai.

So if Jian Xuvain makes other mistakes, he can pull the wrong frame if he is greedy and careless of people's lives.

Even if Emperor Duanhua's own second prince died indirectly because of this cousin, the prince was also involved and broke his leg not long ago, and Emperor Duanhua was sad and sad, but he never held a grudge against this cousin.

There is only one thing that does not work: to offend Emperor Xianjia.

After all, this first emperor is not only the biological father of Emperor Duanhua, but also devoted his life to the enthronement of Emperor Duanhua - since he ascended the throne, every time he encounters tricky things, recalling the care and support of Emperor Xianjia when he was still alive, Emperor Duanhua can't help but cry in private.

- If King Qing really had anything to do with Jian Xubai, Emperor Duanhua felt that he couldn't forgive this cousin!

But he couldn't say anything like this at all, let alone summon Jian Xubai back to the imperial capital to confront him.

It's to take this time to concubine herself. After that, Emperor Duanhua took the opportunity to euphemistically express his anger at Jian Xubai, hoping to use the impeachment of the imperial history to force Jian Xubai to defend himself as soon as possible.

He had a chance to figure out who was trampling on Emperor Xianjia's dignity?!

"Calculate the time, Ah Xu should almost receive the news, but I don't know when he will come back?" Emperor Duanhua looked out of the window of the hall where the grass grew and the warbler was flying, and felt endless trouble, "After he comes back, how can I not be detected by him to tell the truth?" ”

There was a silver incense burner on the imperial table, which was lit with refreshing spices, specifically to make the emperor feel more relaxed when reviewing the chapters.

The polished and smooth incense burner mirror is also similar, and it clearly reflects the Ninety-Five Supreme at this moment - much calmer than before ascending the throne, and the emotions between the eyebrows have gradually learned to hide, and there is a trend of developing towards joy and anger.

However, when Emperor Duanhua looked down, the first thing he noticed was a few inconspicuous silver threads on his sideburns.

A great sense of frustration came over me.

He's only twenty-eight years old!

Before he stands, he has already given birth to his hair—and what is he thinking?

The road to the throne was paved for him by Emperor Xianjia, and even the auxiliary ministers of the new dynasty had been arranged.

Since the reform of the Yuan, there have been no major natural disasters and man-made disasters, nor have there been turmoil and rebellions, so far the most troublesome thing in the Duanhua Dynasty, about the smallpox of Cuihua Mountain, died a second prince.

In this case, the new monarch who has practiced Zuo for less than two years is so haggard that it is difficult for Emperor Duanhua not to feel: this is because he is too mediocre.

Therefore, in the eyes of Emperor Xianjia, he also needs to think carefully and carefully consider things that are casual before he dares to speak out, so as not to be despised by his subordinates.

"Father!" The young emperor stared at the reflection on the silver incense burner and muttered, "Child...... Did you disappoint you under Jiuquan? ”

Less than three months after succeeding to the throne, the once ambitious Emperor Duanhua had clearly realized how far his qualifications as a monarch were from Emperor Xianjia. In this life, he is no longer naïve to think that he can surpass his ancestors - keeping the ancestral business and cultivating the prince into a generation of Ming Jun is the goal he hopes to achieve.

But now, he even finds it tricky to seek justice for his father, which really makes the emperor feel sad.

At this moment, Jian Xubai, who was far away in Liaozhou, also felt very sad: "My Majesty and I have known each other since childhood, and we have been like brothers in the palace since childhood. When I went out with the army to fight in Wuhuan, His Majesty vigorously blocked it, and later I was captured, and His Majesty also tried his best to run and plead for me in front of the imperial uncle several times. After seizing the crown, I also tried my best to help Your Majesty - such a friendship, I thought that even if there was a gap, it would be at least ten or twenty years later. ”

"But I don't want to, now that Your Majesty has been on the throne for less than two years, he has become suspicious of me!"

"Your Majesty is not a mean person." Song Yixiao didn't know how to comfort him, but after a short period of sadness, he had calmed down, "It's definitely not that there is no room for sand in my eyes, not to mention that I can't imagine what I have done that he can't tolerate - now His Majesty didn't send someone to call me back to the imperial capital to defend himself, and second, he didn't send an envoy to Liaozhou to question, but he directly showed his suspicion and dislike for me." ”

He paused, "This shows that either the people behind the scenes who are plotting against me have their hands and eyes in the sky and make the evidence leaky, even if I go to the front of the palace in person, I can't refute it!" ”

"But with my understanding of Your Majesty, even if the evidence is as ironclad as the mountains and thousands of people point out, he will at least give me a chance to play face-to-face!"

Song Yixiao asked softly, "That?" ”

"So there's only one possibility, this kind of thing, it's not easy to speak." Jian Xubai's eyes were cold, and he said in a deep voice, "Even with the relationship between His Majesty and me, it's not easy to speak!" Therefore, Your Majesty can only take the opportunity of Concubine Mao's death to connive at Yushi's impeachment of me, so as to find flaws and deduce the truth! ”

Song Yixiao didn't know that Concubine Nuan was sent to the palace to wait for death in order not to be sent to the palace after Emperor Xianjia's death, and once asked Jian Xubai to give her a child-but Jian Xubai now said this, and she could guess what was going on: "Could it be that Your Majesty suspects you and the harem?!" ”

Otherwise, what else is there that is difficult to say about the cousins who have gone through the years of seizing the prince together?

The husband and wife invariably thought of Concubine Nuan - after all, in the harem of the two dynasties, the easiest to have an ambiguous relationship with Jian Xubai is this former Feinuan princess!

After a moment of silence, Song Yixiao slowly asked, "What should I do now?" ”

"I'll write a letter first and send someone to send it to Xuepei!" Jian Xubai pondered for a moment and said, "It's been a few days since we left the imperial capital, so it's better for him to be well-informed—not to mention that it's so far away, it's too late to respond!" ”

He was afraid that his wife would worry, and he felt a little unspeakable, so he didn't say anything about his refusal to Concubine Nuan until now.

In fact, he was now as suspicious of King Qing's bloodline as Emperor Duanhua.

After all, after Concubine Nuan begged him to no avail, she still had a child, and she left the palace with the child - this is too coincidental!

So Emperor Duanhua was suspicious of his cousin, did Concubine Nuan confess that King Qing was his own child after seeing that the matter was revealed, not only to protect King Qing's biological father, but also to take revenge on herself? !

If that's the case, I'm afraid things are more troublesome than he thought.

How crazy a desperate woman can be, Concubine Mao, who was gone before, is a ready-made example.

What to do?

Jian Xubai wrote a letter while his mind was racing, thinking about countermeasures.

The grievances of the Jane family have just come to an end, and his wife is in her prime. The woman is still ignorant, and she also fosters a young sister-in-law under her knees - for the sake of these people, he can't fall!
