The emperor's face remained silent and he sighed in his heart.

The queen looked at Dongfang Hong and Shen Mei, her eyes were cold, and her tone was resolute: "Since the two of you have never seen that portrait, you just listened to the words of Yanxiang, you can't believe it!" ”

Shen Mei and Dongfanghong looked at each other, their expressions were blank, and they were speechless for a while.

I don't want to hear this. She stared at the queen with wide eyes, her eyes full of anger, and immediately retorted: "Why can't I believe my words? I've seen it, I've seen it. I still wronged you for no reason?! ”

Everyone's faces were filled with fear and amazement.

The false smile on the queen's face disappeared without a trace in an instant, and was replaced by an angry face. She shouted loudly: "Presumptuous! ”

This 'presumptuous' sound was very sharp and full of intimidation, as if the voice was coming from hell. That sharp voice suddenly shocked everyone present.

Not to mention that the smoke was frightened, even King Yong'an was terrified.

King Yong'an had never seen his queen mother so angry. He looked up, and from his point of view, his queen mother was now angry. The muscles on his face grew longer and tighter, solidified like mortar cement, and looked hideous and terrifying.

This is what the queen is as she is. Her gentleness and virtuousness are just restrained and forbearing, and she deliberately pretends to be docile. In the past, she tried her best to maintain her image in public and not let herself look like a.

At least, in front of the emperor King Yong'an, she will restrain her anger and disguise her face. But at the moment, she can't care much more. If she doesn't get mad and fight, they still think she's a bully!

She is now in an invincible state of mind, when she meets a god and kills a god, she kills a Buddha and kills a Buddha, and she doesn't even pay attention to the emperor, how can she look at a small shrimp like Yanxiang.

The queen scolded at the cigarette incense: "This palace is still the queen now!" You speak with respect to Hongu! This palace is to see that you are an ignorant woman, and you are tolerant and generous and do not care about you. If you speak disrespectfully, this palace will let people slap your mouth! ”

This insult made Yanxiang's face blue and white for a while. She stood stubbornly, her originally bright and agile eyes losing their brilliance and revealing horror. She didn't dare to look at the empress, so she had to look at the emperor.

The emperor's face was cold and serious, his brows furrowed, and he was silent.

The heart of the smoke incense was half cold in an instant. It seems that the emperor has compromised, and the abolition of the queen is just a momentary anger. If the emperor had a heart, he would have spoken up to uphold justice. He let the queen go crazy like this, but he didn't pay attention to it, which made the queen even more arrogant.

She couldn't help laughing at herself, she was still too naïve, thinking that she could pull the queen off the horse in this way.

After the queen scolded the cigarette, she breathed a sigh of relief, but this was far from enough, and the anger in her heart was still burning. She looked at the smoke and asked sternly: "Smoke girl, you said that the palace set a trap for Chu Tiankuo to drill in." The removal of Duan Zisheng from the post of Dali Siqing was also planned by the palace. What about the evidence? If there is no real evidence, it is all up to you to talk nonsense, and this palace will never forgive you for such slander! “

"The proof is the portrait! …… There is also Jinyiwei who can also testify. The cigarette went back.

However, she was no longer so arrogant, and she became a little weak-hearted, and felt that her voice was much quieter. She is not afraid, afraid of the identity of the queen, but helpless. The queen is right, with just one mouth, she can't argue with the queen at all.

Ginger is still old and spicy. Yanxiang also has a mouth that can be eloquent, and when it comes to her own sharp teeth, she is confident that she will not lose anyone. But at this time, she felt powerless, and compared to the queen, her heat was still a little worse.

"Smoke girl, you keep mentioning that picture, but no one testifies to it. Hongu can also say that you are fabricated, and your motives are obvious. You are Senior Sister Chu Tiankuo, and in order to help him, you pulled out such a big lie. The queen was calm and calm, glanced around, and said in a deep voice: "What is the motive for this palace to deal with Duan Zisheng?" If the palace is trying to deal with it, I am afraid that the entire Dali Temple will be run. ”

"Who knows what your motives are!" The cigarette smoke is dead mouthful. has a senior brother to support her, and she is also unsightly.

Hearing this, the queen was even more angry. Her eyes widened at once, like a cat staring at the smoke of a mouse, and there was a fierce gaze in her eyes.

Chu Tian straightened his face and glared at the queen angrily.

Seeing that a war is about to begin, King Yong'an is in a dilemma. He didn't want to see his mother meet his imperial brother in battle, so he couldn't help but speak to the emperor.

"Father, hurry up and administer justice!"

Hearing this, everyone's eyes looked at the emperor.

This situation made the emperor have to come forward. His brows furrowed more and more, and every word was as precious as gold: "I will investigate this matter, and everyone doesn't have to argue anymore." Another day, when the investigation is clear, I will give you an explanation. ”

These words, openly and secretly, are still aimed at the queen, he knows that the queen manipulates all this, but there is no evidence. It is too hasty and hasty to do the queen at this time. It's all about the long term.

Still, Smoke is not satisfied, but it's not good to say anything more. She really couldn't produce evidence.

How could the empress not hear the emperor's voice. He was on Chu Tiankuo's side. This made her angry and sarcastic: "Don't, Your Majesty! It's better to choose a day than to hit the day. The concubine was wronged by this, and she would definitely have trouble sleeping. The emperor was furious about this incident and threatened to abolish the position of concubine and queen. This breath the concubine couldn't swallow. In order to give justice to the concubines, it is better to investigate clearly. ”

it! Look at what is said. The smoke is simply a means to the queen, and she admires it so much that she is stunned.

Whether a person is powerful or not is not only reflected in strategy, but also in the way he speaks. The queen's words outlined her face as a victim, and instantly bleached what she had done.

The courtiers immediately chimed in: "Please give the emperor justice to the queen." It's about the queen's reputation, please don't show favoritism! ”

King Yong'an also followed the trend: "Father, it is better to investigate this matter thoroughly." Summoned the brocade guard to confirm the matter. ”

He has no bottom in his heart. He vaguely suspected that his mother had framed his imperial brother. However, it was only a suspicion, and he did not want to believe that it was true. But what if, as a result of the investigation, his mother really planned all this? What should he do?

But what if his mother didn't do this, and it was just a misunderstanding? As a son of man, how could he watch his mother in dire straits.

Dongfanghong had a businesslike attitude: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that King Yong'an is reasonable." Or call Jinyiwei to find out about it. ”

Chu Tiankuo, who had been silent, expressed his attitude for the first time: "Father! The crowd is right! Those who are clear are self-purifying, and those who are turbid are self-turbid. Find out everything and deal with it fairly. ”

He believed in cigarette incense, and he didn't believe that the queen could cover the sky with one hand.

was raised by everyone like this, and the emperor had to change his words: "Okay! I listened to the opinions of the people and investigated the matter thoroughly. He looked at Sikong Hua: "Sikong Hua, send someone to summon the Jinyi Guard to gather here!" ”

"Obey the order!" Sikong Hua received the holy will and set out to do this.

The crowd had to wait patiently. Most people have a good show attitude.

Not long after, the palace brocade guards arrived and stood in several neat queues.

The emperor glanced at it and asked, "Have all the Jinyi guards arrived?" ”

After counting the number of guards, the chief guard replied: "Your Majesty, all the brocade guards in the palace are here, and no one is absent." ”

The Emperor called Smoke to the queue where the brocade guard was standing, and carefully identified it.

Chu Tiankuo was afraid that those people who had a queen in Jinyi would have bad intentions and would hurt Yanxiang, so he asked to accompany her throughout the whole process. Even though his scruples were superfluous, the emperor and empress rarely acquiesced to his request.

Before, Dongfang Hong had fought with Jinyiwei at the city gate, and he was deeply impressed, and after he asked the emperor for instructions, he also helped the smoke incense to identify.

Including the head of the guard, Sikong Hua, also participated. He was familiar with the Jinyi Guard, knew every face, and in order to prevent anyone from mixing in, he had to go into battle himself. After some checking, he confirmed that these brocade guards, if they were fake, were all brocade guards in the palace, and they did not mix in the faces.

They were busy for a long time, but none of them were found.

Smoke and incense even ignore the etiquette, regardless of the difference between men and women, and move to touch the faces of those brocade guards. She couldn't find out the brocade guard, she was really unwilling, and her heart was anxious.

Chu Tiankuo saw Yanxiang's intention for the first time and stopped her in time.

Of course, Dongfanghong also understands the concerns of cigarettes. Because of Ji Zheng's experience in using the human skin mask, they paid special attention to it.

So, instead of using cigarettes to do it herself, Chu Tiankuo and Dongfang Hong took her place and reached out to inspect the faces of those brocade guards to make sure that they were not wearing human skin masks.

However, no matter how they tossed, Yanxiang and Dongfanghong did not find out who they were looking for from the pile of brocade guards. Such a result was beyond their expectations.

However, the queen raised her eyebrows and sneered, looking like she had a safe chance of winning.

The smell of smoke is depressing. How so? Obviously, the person I met at the city gate was the brocade guard in the palace. How can you not recognize people? She looked at Dongfang Hong and exchanged glances with him. The look in his eyes, as if he could speak, asked him, do you recognize it?

Dongfang Hong was like a defeated rooster, and shook his head listlessly.

The smoke suddenly looked like a deflated ball.

None of them could figure it out.

In the first year of Xingde, Hong Gaode proclaimed himself emperor, established the Great Western Kingdom, and set the capital of Fengcheng. In the early days of the establishment of the regime, the surrounding countries were eyeing the Great Western Kingdom and provoked wars for no reason. Before the expedition, Xu Guifei, the mother of Xigong, was 8 months pregnant. The emperor proposed an edict, if the prince was born, he would be named Hong Chengye, and the prince would be established, and if he was born a princess, he would be crowned Princess Changyu.

After Emperor Hong left the palace, Queen Xia made a plan to let Xu Guifei slip the fetus, who knows, the sky did not fulfill her wish, and the fetus in Xu Guifei's womb was born, and it actually survived.

"Your Majesty has already doted on Concubine Xu, and now, she has given birth to a prince again, and I see that our master and queen throne will not be able to be kept."

"Isn't it? Listening to the palace maid in the West Palace, the prince was born white and fat, very cute, his face resembled His Majesty, there was a righteousness between his eyebrows, and he must be a good emperor when he grows up. ”

This is the little palace maid in the queen's palace whispering in private.

Even if they don't talk about it, the Empress Xia knows that if she doesn't try to get rid of the prince, I'm afraid that life won't be better in the future.

She immediately summoned her elder brother Xiangye and Chu Xiang, the head of the imperial guard, to discuss countermeasures. They plotted to burn down the West Palace, which was carried out by General Chu.

At the critical moment, General Chu gave up the idea of harming the prince and exchanged his own son for the prince's exit from the palace.

Xu Guifei cried and cried, turned her heart sideways, picked up the hairpin, and used the tip of the hairpin to tattoo the word "heaven" on the prince's left shoulder. The stab is in the child's body, the pain is in the mother's heart, and after the stabbing is finished, Xu Guifei's painful liver and intestines are broken. She trembled and hung a jade pendant on the crown prince, which was given by the emperor himself, and there is only one in the world today.

Concubine Xu Guifei kowtowed to Chu Xiang, and said with tears in her eyes, "General Chu, please accept my three bows, your great kindness and great virtue, this palace will repay it in the next life." ”

"Niangniang, you can't help it, please get up ...... quickly" As he spoke, he heard footsteps outside, General Chu picked up the prince and hurriedly fled through the side door.

Xu Guifei fainted.

The person who came was the imperial doctor Feng Nanyang. Legend has it that this person was originally a man in the rivers and lakes, and his nickname was the fortune teller. He can pinch and calculate, not only has excellent medical skills, but also has extraordinary martial arts. He took away General Chu's son, performed light skills, shuttled freely in the palace, easily got rid of the pursuit of the palace guards, and left the city safely.

After Xia, he ordered people to burn down the West Palace, and Xu Guifei and a cadre were buried in the fire. During the inventory of the body, it was found that the body of a baby was missing. Plus General Chu Xiang's whereabouts are unknown. Empress Xia and Xiangye concluded that the prince was most likely taken away by Chu Xiang. So, Empress Xia secretly sent people to hunt down and kill General Chu Xiang.

In the fourth year of Xingde, the emperor returned triumphantly.

Xia Hou was shrewd and capable, and kept this matter a secret. Emperor Hong didn't believe that Xu Guifei really died in an accident. He often dreamed of the crown prince, and he has been sending people to investigate the matter secretly, but he has not been able to find out the truth, Chu Xiang disappeared, and Feng Nanyang also disappeared.

In the fifth year of Xingde, the queen gave birth to a son, and Emperor Hong named him Hong Cheng'an. The queen thought to herself, the emperor obviously did not have high hopes for this son. Empress Xia thought to herself, even if the emperor delayed issuing an edict and appointing a new crown prince, Emperor Rihong would die, and the throne would be her son's sooner or later. However, she still had some concerns, twenty-four years ago, she sent someone to hunt down and kill Chu Xiang, Chu Xiang was seriously injured and died, but the prince did not know who rescued him.

For more than 20 years, there has been no news of the prince. If the crown prince is still alive, then he will be the biggest threat to Hong Chengan's succession to the throne. Besides, once this matter is revealed, she and Xiangye will definitely be in trouble.

Emperor Hong Gaode reigned for 24 years, he worked hard, knew people well, the country was strong, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. Emperor Hong grew old and missed his lost prince more and more, and finally fell ill.

Knowing that Emperor Hong was ill, Feng Nanyang sneaked into the palace to see the emperor.

"Bold Feng Nanyang, you are guilty, you have been hiding for more than 20 years, and I have been sending people to look for you and General Chu for more than 20 years. Do you know about Concubine Xu? Emperor Hong cried with joy when he saw him.

"Your Majesty, the minister is guilty. When the queen wanted to burn down the West Palace, the minister arrived after learning about it, and the minister came one step late, and the prince had been taken away by General Chu. In a panic, Zhongchen rescued General Chu's son and handed him over to a foreign master to raise. For the past 24 years, I have been secretly searching for the whereabouts of the prince, but I have never found it. The ministers have the great trust of the emperor. Feng Nanyang was full of guilt.
