After a long while, Wan Zhen'er calmed down her disordered mind, and she said to Imperial Physician Zhang: "Imperial Physician Zhang, the palace is ready, you can invite the queen mother and the eldest princess of the two palaces in." ”

Imperial Physician Zhang nodded solemnly and said, "Obey, ten thousand nobles." It's all up to you in the next performance, our lives are hanging on your hands, and you must not make any mistakes. ”

Seeing this, Wan Guiren suddenly laughed, and she said to Imperial Physician Zhang: "Imperial Physician Zhang, don't worry. I have now completely regarded this dead baby as my own, I was once pregnant, my child was killed by Empress Wu, who is now seven or eight months old, a baby boy in shape. Not only will I not bother you, but I will give you endless glory and wealth in the future. ”

Wan Zhen'er's words were categorical, and Taiyi Zhang's heart was shocked when she heard it.

Originally, there was always a little weakness in doing bad things, Imperial Doctor Zhang had always been terrified, but now seeing Wan Zhen'er's expression so calm, he calmed down, and walked out of the dormitory, kneeling down in front of Jian Huaizhen and the Queen Mother of the two palaces.

knelt down and kowtowed: "The queen mother of the two palaces, the eldest princess, please punish the micro-minister, it is not good for the micro-minister-"

When Empress Dowager Zhou heard this, she immediately became anxious, and she asked, "Is there something wrong with my grandson?" ”

However, Empress Qian was more merciful, and she asked, "How is Wan Guiren and her child?" ”

Jian Huaizhen sat in the middle without saying a word, watching coldly, she always felt that this matter was a little strange, but she didn't say anything.

Imperial Physician Zhang knelt on the ground and said with a sad face: "The eldest princess of Qiyu and the queen mother of the two palaces, Wan Guiren's life was fortunately saved, but her child could not be saved, but a baby boy who has been formed, and the birth is still somewhat similar to the emperor." ”

When he said this, he choked up and couldn't speak.

In fact, at this moment, Imperial Doctor Zhang was already frightened, and he finished saying this.

Sure enough, after the Empress Dowager Qian and the Empress Dowager Zhou heard what he said, the faces of the two of them changed greatly, especially the Empress Dowager Zhou was indignant, stepped forward and kicked him, and said: "Didn't the mourning family tell you to keep the child first, why didn't you keep my grandson?" ”

Imperial Physician Zhang begged repeatedly: "Qi to the Empress Dowager Zhou, please ask the Empress Dowager Zhou to forgive her sins, she has done her best, but the child was seriously injured in the womb and has become a stillborn child." Weichen didn't mean it, and asked the Empress Dowager Zhou to forgive him. ”

What else did Empress Dowager Zhou say, Jian Huaizhen gently tugged at the placket of her clothes and said, "Okay, don't make trouble." Let's go first and see how Wan Guiren is doing. ”

So, the three of them walked into the dormitory of Wan Guiren together.

When they walked in, they were immediately startled, only to see that the bed was full of blood, and the red blood was like a raging flame, which was reflected in their eyes very brightly, which made them feel frightened.

Wan Zhen'er sat on the bed, reclining on the pillow, and she held in her arms a bloodied baby, which was terrifying, looking like a ghost baby.

Kneeling on the side was Mama Chen, and Mama Chen was so frightened that she didn't dare to come out.

When she saw Jian Huaizhen and the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces, Wan Zhen'er suddenly cried, and she burst into tears and said to the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces and Jian Huaizhen: "The Queen Mother, the eldest princess, you must be the master for me, you see that my child is still a baby boy, and you can see the appearance." So far, he has been killed, my child was killed by the queen, you must be the master for me. ”

Empress Dowager Zhou was still a little resentful for not keeping her grandson, but now when she saw Wan Zhen'er in such a tragic situation, she couldn't help but feel a little pity in her heart.

She saw Wan Zhen'er holding the child like crazy, so she waved her hand and said, "That's it, this matter will definitely be investigated to the end." ”

Empress Dowager Qian was full of pity and comforted: "Wan Guiren, there is nothing to be done now, you don't want to hurt yourself like this, it is not good for yourself to hurt your body." ”

"No, I must seek revenge on her, I must seek revenge on her. It's the queen, the queen killed my child, the queen mother of the two palaces, the eldest princess, you must be the master for me. ”

Her voice became more and more desolate, echoing in the quiet palace with a melancholy, like a ghost, and she struggled out of bed as she spoke.

Wan Zhen'er just got out of bed and couldn't stand steadily, she fell to the ground, and some blood came out of the base of her thigh, and the child was thrown to the ground.

Seeing this, Mama Chen hurriedly said, "Niangniang, you have to pay attention to your own body!" ”

Wan Zhen'er seemed to have not heard of it, and when she saw the dead baby falling to the ground, she struggled to crawl to pick up the dead baby.

Everywhere she crawled, there were traces of red blood, which was particularly glaring.

"My child, child," she said, howling.

Suddenly, she felt that it was dark in front of her, and she passed out.

Wan Zhen'er's death this time is not fake, she has worked hard for this matter, and Fang Cai's performance is also sincere.

At this moment, she had completely put herself into the role of a mother who had lost her child, so when she threw the child to the ground, she struggled to pick up the child, and felt a pain in her heart like a thousand arrows piercing her heart, and the whole person fainted.

Where did the queen mother of the two palaces see this kind of formation, they were all trembling with fright, and they were both pity and pity for Wan Zhen'er in their hearts, so they instructed Mama Chen: "Find a place to bury this baby, don't inform me about this matter first, and wait for the mourning family to talk to the emperor." ”

Mama Chen responded: "Yes." ”

Jian Huaizhen had some doubts in her heart, she stepped forward and gently touched the dead baby, only to feel that the dead baby's body was stiff, and it seemed that it had been dead for a long time.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but have a few doubts in her heart, but she didn't say it.

After all, whether this dead baby had just died or had really been dead for a long time, she had never seen such a thing, and she couldn't say for sure.

Therefore, she just had doubts in her heart.

The queen mother of the two palaces couldn't see such a bleak situation, so she was helped out by the palace maids.

Jian Huaizhen sighed, and always felt that Wan Zhen'er was very pitiful, so she said to Mama Chen: "Take good care of your master, if you need anything, just ask." ”

Mama Chen kept kowtowing and said, "Thank you for the kindness of the eldest princess, thank you for the grace of the eldest princess." ”

After Jian Huaizhen finished speaking, he sighed and walked out.

It would be impossible not to investigate this matter with Jian Huaizhen's shrewdness, but now that the situation in front of her is so miserable, she has always had a good impression of Wan Zhen'er, and she feels that Wan Zhen'er is a person with a pure temperament.

So although there was a trace of doubt, she didn't pursue it again, after all, how could she track it down with such a tragic situation in front of her.

What's more, Wan Zhen'er's heart-rending pain doesn't seem to be pretended, if she does, how can she faint because she is too sad.

Jian Huaizhen had a mystery in his heart, and returned to Wan'an Palace.

Not long after, Empress Dowager Qian and Empress Dowager Zhou came together.

When Empress Dowager Zhou saw Jian Huaizhen, she said indignantly: "Princess, everyone says that this Empress Wu is virtuous, how is she virtuous?" On weekdays, I look at this child well, but what is she doing now? ”

Empress Dowager Zhou's tone was very angry and angry, as if she was going to divide Empress Wu's body.

Jian Huaizhen didn't have time to persuade when she saw this, and Empress Dowager Qian also said beside her: "What the Empress Dowager Zhou said this time is very agreeable to the mourning family, the Wu family looks good at this child on weekdays, but I didn't expect to be so ruthless and jealous, I think the mourning family misjudged her." The reason why the mourning family strongly recommended her to be the queen was because she felt that she was kind and knowledgeable in her heart. But now it turned out to be the fault of the mourning family, the fault of the mourning family made the emperor lose a child, the mourning family and the Empress Dowager Zhou lost a grandson, the mourning family is really ashamed of the ancestors, the emperor, and the emperor, the Empress Dowager Zhou and the eldest princess! ”

The queen mother of the two palaces has never been harmonious, but when it comes to this matter, their opinions are so unanimous that they all think that this matter was done by Queen Wu.

Jian Huaizhen has also been in contact with Empress Wu on weekdays, and she always feels that Empress Wu is not such a ruthless person, and the so-called Lu Yao knows that the horsepower has been popular for a long time. If after such a long time, she Jian Huaizhen can't see through a person's mind, then wouldn't it be that she doesn't know people and doesn't recognize people.

Jian Huaizhen was hesitating, and the emperor had already heard the news and walked in, and tears flowed out of him when he walked in.

After all, Zhu Jianshen is still young, but he is only eighteen years old, and he is happy to hear that he has a child.

But now, a few months later, he heard that the child was lost, and it was still a formed baby boy, and the grief and indignation in his heart can be imagined.

Although the Empress Dowager of the two palaces and Jian Huaizhen have already issued orders not to tell the emperor the news first.

But how can there be an impermeable wall in the palace, and the news of Wan Guiren's loss of his child soon reached Zhu Jianshen's ears.

Zhu Jianshen immediately put down his official duties and went to Wan Zhen'er's palace to take a look, and saw Wan Zhen'er fainting on the bed, while Mama Chen was dealing with the dead baby boy.

Zhu Jianshen saw that the baby boy was covered in blood, and the situation was very terrifying, and he couldn't help but feel a little bleak in his heart.

Still, he felt that the child was his own flesh and blood, and a kind of spontaneous affection could not hide his father's love, so he stepped forward and hugged the child.

It was under this hug that I felt an irrepressible pity and anger rushing to my heart.

He looked at the child's eyebrows, it was already a formed baby boy, no matter how he looked at it, he felt that the child had a bit of the appearance of his childhood. But now that the child is so old, he has been killed alive.

The more he thought about it, the more sad he felt, and after asking Mama Chen to bury the child well, he came to Wan'an Palace to see Jian Huaizhen and the Queen Mother of the two palaces.

When Jian Huaizhen saw the emperor, he was busy helping the emperor to sit down on the side.

The emperor thought of his blood-covered child, and only felt a feeling of pain, and he said to Jian Huaizhen and the empress dowager of the two palaces: "The eldest princess, the queen mother, and the empress dowager Qian, I have already gone to see the dead baby. The baby was born exactly like when I was a child. ”

When the Empress Dowager Zhou heard the emperor say this, she also fanned the flames next to her and said, "But it's not, I didn't expect that the Wu family would do such a bad thing when they looked virtuous on weekdays." It's okay for her to be jealous that Wan Guiren has a child, but this child is the emperor's flesh and blood, didn't she think about the emperor before she overthrew Wan Guiren? This Wu clan is really hateful. ”

Jian Huaizhen hesitated a little and said, "This kid of the Wu family usually looks at it but it's not like this, could there be some misunderstanding in this matter?" ”

When Queen Qian heard Jian Huaizhen say this, although she was angry with the Wu family, the Wu family recommended it by herself after all, and she couldn't help but say: "The mourning family looks at the Wu family, this child doesn't look like a person who can do this kind of thing on weekdays, although she does do this kind of thing now." But the eldest princess has always been very accurate in seeing people, could it be that we are wrong to blame the Wu family. ”

Empress Dowager Zhou suddenly trembled with anger, she pointed at Empress Dowager Qian and said, "What do you mean, Empress Dowager Qian?" You just said that you recommended the wrong person, you are sorry for the ancestors, sorry for the emperor, sorry for the emperor, sorry for me, and sorry for the eldest princess, but why are you changing your tone now? ”

Zhu Jianshen also said on the side: "Princess, I don't deny that you are very wise, but you also have times when you look at the wrong person!" Have you forgotten when you were in Jiangnan? ”

When Jian Huaizhen heard Zhu Jianshen say this, he was suddenly immersed in the past again.

After she defeated Wara, she once went to Jiangnan alone to live in seclusion in a small town in Jiangnan, and she once saved a girl who was exactly the same as her dead sister Bai Qingqing in a tea house called Dust Washing Fang.

The girl was only eighteen or nineteen years old, and her name was Bai Qingqing.

She once thought that the girl was given to her by God, and she could replace her dead sister Bai Qingqing.

But it turned out that she was wrong, and she was very wrong, and it was all a conspiracy.

That Bai Qingqing was not given to her by God at all, it was her subordinate Nangong Jiuzhong who betrayed her and deliberately devised a conspiracy to frame her.

After the truth of the matter was revealed, Jian Huaizhen had lost her soul for a long time, and because of this incident, she might have been with Jiang Shaoheng, but because of Nangong Jiuzhong and Bai's light affairs, she and Jiang Shaoheng missed the last opportunity to be together.

When Jian Huaizhen heard Zhu Jianshen say this, she was reminded of the past in her heart, and she was also asking herself, did she really see the wrong person? I would have misunderstood Bai Qing at the beginning, and I may not be wrong about Empress Wu today.

Thinking of this, she originally wanted to say that the blood baby was a little stiff, so she didn't say anything.

"Your Majesty, what are you going to do with that poisonous woman of the Wu family?" Empress Dowager Zhou asked.

Zhu Jianshen was originally full of anger, but when he heard Empress Dowager Zhou ask this, he didn't know what to do.

It is true that he didn't like Empress Wu at first, and the only person he liked in his heart was Tang Jingran, but when he really came into contact with Empress Wu, he found that she was a virtuous and virtuous person, who was elegant and virtuous.

He got along with Empress Wu, although he did not have any unforgettable love for her, but he was also very moved by her virtue, and the two of them got along for a long time, and they sprouted something called "family affection".

He is not without affection for Empress Wu, after all, the two of them have been together for more than half a year, although he blames Empress Wu very much for Wan Zhen'er's loss of her child, but when he heard Empress Dowager Zhou ask this, he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Seeing that Zhu Jianshen was a little hesitant, Empress Dowager Zhou patted the case and said: "Your Majesty, you can't have the slightest mercy now, this poisonous woman of the Wu family can kill one of your children today, and she will kill the second and third ones in the future." If we continue to indulge like this, how will we continue to be a great country? Your Majesty, you are the king of a country, but you can't have the kindness of a woman. ”

Empress Dowager Zhou's words were like pinpricks, and Zhu Jianshen's heart ached

He felt that Empress Dowager Zhou's words were reasonable, and when he thought of the dead baby covered in blood, he also felt extremely sad and angry in his heart, but if he wanted him to deal with Empress Wu, he felt that he couldn't bear it.

Empress Dowager Qian knew that she couldn't speak in this matter, and if she did, she would be guilty of a taboo. After all, this Empress Wu was recommended by herself, and Empress Dowager Zhou had long harbored a grudge against herself, not to mention that if this matter was really done by the Wu family, then she was not worth helping.

On the contrary, at this moment, Jian Huaizhen was too calm, and she said: "Your Majesty, no matter how you think I am investigating people and Qingming, or checking people who are unknown, in short, this palace has always felt that this matter cannot be judged so lightly. First, we still need to find out about this matter, and secondly, as for whether Queen Wu was intentional or unintentional, we don't know, so let's listen to Queen Wu's explanation. ”

Jian Huaizhen's words hit Zhu Jianshen's heart, although he was also angry with Empress Wu, but in his heart after all, he always felt that Empress Wu was not like a person who would do such a thing.

If you don't even give Queen Wu a chance to avenge her grievances, what if you wronged her?

Zhu Jianshen said: "Since this is the case, bring Empress Wu and let us ask her." ”

Jian Huaizhen persuaded from the side: "Your Majesty, the matter of the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces has been tossed for so long today, everyone must be tired, why don't we take a day off to calm down, think about this matter carefully, and wait until tomorrow to interrogate the queen?" ”

The queen mother of the two palaces glanced at each other, and then at Zhu Jianshen.

They saw that Zhu Jianshen looked very tired, and the whole person looked haggard, not at all like the usual high-spirited Ming Lord.

Although the Empress Dowager Zhou wanted to punish Empress Wu, she felt a little distressed when she saw that the emperor was so tired, and she said: "Since this is the case, everything will be done according to the will of the eldest princess." ”

Of course, Queen Qian didn't make sense, so the matter was decided for the time being.

At night, when the lights were held, Jian Huaizhen was still sitting in his seat and did not move, and he felt very confused.

She knew that whenever Jian Huaizhen was contemplating and meditating, she must have encountered something incomprehensible in her heart.

Therefore, she brought a cup of ginseng tea to Jian Huaizhen, and said with a smile: "Princess, aren't you tired after sitting on this chair for a day?" ”

Jian Huaizhen was stunned, and said it again, and then she came back to her senses and said, "It turns out that it is already dark." ”

Scattered pursed his lips and smiled, "Imperial Princess, don't you know? ”

Jian Huaizhen said with a smile: "I think I was so engrossed in things that I didn't even notice that it was already dark." ”

When she said these words, a wry smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
