"This ...... Queen Mother, what are you talking about?" Concubine Jin was already dumbfounded.

However, Concubine Zhao next to her didn't say a word, turned around and ran out over the wall the same way, leaving Concubine Jin alone in the wind.

At this moment, a clue seemed to be found in the Heart Cultivation Palace, and a voice came from inside: "Who?"

Concubine Jin was taken aback and had to flee with her.

The window of the Heart Cultivation Hall opened, and Wei Qing poked his head out and didn't see anyone, so he frowned and said, "Could it be that I heard it wrong?"

For some reason, she was inexplicably a little uneasy.

On the other side, Concubine Zhao went all the way back to her bedroom and instructed two cronies to investigate the emperor's affairs.

It didn't take long for the cronies to return with a lot of news about the emperor. Of course, most of these are folk rumors.

Concubine Zhao looked at one rumor after another, and her face became more and more excited.

"Since he ascended the throne, he has never touched the concubine, no one is allowed to enter the bedroom, and he has not inherited the Wei family until now, and he is even suspected of having the good of Longyang...... Wei Qing, you really deceived everyone!"

What I saw with my own eyes today, coupled with all kinds of folk rumors, clearly confirmed that Wei Qing was a woman!

The young eunuch asked curiously, "Niangniang, why are you so excited? What is the Emperor hiding?"

Concubine Zhao just took the eunuch's hand, her face was full of excitement, and she murmured, "Xiao Zhan, Li'er will soon become the emperor!"

……

The next day, for some reason, a rumor spread throughout the capital.

"Have you heard? The emperor is a woman!"

"Don't talk nonsense, you're going to be killed if you're heard!"

"No nonsense, this is news from the eunuchs in the palace, and it is said that the concubine in the palace saw it with her own eyes!"

"Think about it, if she was really a woman, wouldn't all the rumors make sense in the past?"

This news is circulating in the streets and alleys, and naturally it has also reached the ears of some ***.

Wan Yao is now an official of the Criminal Department, and when he heard the news, he scolded angrily: "What a bunch of nonsense, who spread the words? Check it out for me right away, and you'll be fined heavily after you find out!"

And in the Xu Mansion, Xu Kailin was also a little suspicious when he heard the news, and frowned and said, "Let people find out the source!"

In this heavenly court, all the officials are talking about this matter in a whisper.

When Wei Qing came to the Taihe Palace, his face was a little pale.

She also heard the rumor, and was naturally frightened. No matter how she couldn't figure it out, how could her secret suddenly be widely revealed?

Could it be that someone was really eavesdropping last night?

Of course, civil and military officials didn't dare to mention this matter, so today's morning court was no different from usual.

It's just that when the early dynasty was about to end, Concubine Zhao suddenly broke into the Taihe Hall and shouted: "Your Majesty, rumors are spreading in the city, saying that you are not a man, I don't know who is bold enough to slander the Son of Heaven!"

Suddenly mentioning this, Wei Qing trembled with fright.

Although this small action is inconspicuous, it is seen by many delicate old foxes.

Xu Kailin chuckled in his heart, and said in his heart that the rumors wouldn't be true, right?

Concubine Zhao walked in and knelt on the ground, and said indignantly, "If you find someone who slanders the Son of Heaven, you will be punished severely!"

Wei Qing was a little flustered for a while, so he had to smile dryly: "Auntie, you get up first, I will naturally investigate this matter."

"Your Majesty, in fact, this palace already has some clues." Concubine Zhao said coldly.

"Clues? What's the clue?" Wei Qing was a little weak-hearted.

"The one who spread this news is the people of the harem, the palace has been back for so long, and he should have helped the emperor manage the harem, but he didn't expect such a big mistake!"

"Harem?" Wei Qing was stunned.

Where is there anyone in her harem? Isn't it just a concubine?

Before she could figure it out, Concubine Zhao got up and walked out and said, "This palace will clean the door for Your Majesty today!"

The civil and military officials looked at each other, with some curiosity between their surprised expressions.

In the chaos, no one stopped Concubine Zhao.

At this time, in the Changchun Palace, Concubine Jin was sitting on the bed, her eyes blank.

It took her a long night to figure out what happened last night.

Unexpectedly, her husband, who had been married for many years, the emperor of the Southern Wei Dynasty, was actually a woman. For a moment, she was so confused that she didn't know what to do.

When she was losing her mind, Concubine Zhao suddenly broke into Changchun Palace with a few eunuchs and palace maids.

The palace maid of Changchun Palace stopped and said, "Queen Mother, you can't go in!"

"This harem place, where can't I enter the main palace?" Concubine Zhao glared at the palace maid and scolded, "Palm!"

The two eunuchs next to him stepped forward and directly set up the palace maid and slapped them fiercely.

This scene woke up Concubine Jin on the bed, she came back to her senses, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and shouted, "The Queen Mother is blessed with Jin'an!"

Concubine Zhao stepped forward and kicked Concubine Jin, who was kneeling on the ground.

This kick was very heavy, and it kicked Concubine Jin all over. She looked at Concubine Zhao blankly and asked, "Queen Mother, why are you doing this?"

"This palace asks you, why do you want to spread rumors outside, saying that Your Majesty is a woman?" Concubine Zhao glared.

This fierce appearance scared Concubine Jin a lot, she couldn't understand why the current Queen Mother was like the two of them last night, and she had completely lost her gentle appearance?

"Concubine, concubine has never spread rumors...... What's more, wasn't the Queen Mother there last night?" Concubine Jin explained in a panic.

"You want to slander even Hongu? What a guts!" Concubine Zhao smiled and waved her hand, "Let her sober up!"

The three eunuchs immediately stepped forward with a bucket of water, two of them held Concubine Jin, and the other directly grabbed Concubine Jin's hair and pressed her into the water.

This kind of suffocation punishment was extremely cruel, and every time Concubine Jin almost held on to the limit, she was pulled out of the water.

After coming and going, she was already choking.

Concubine Zhao lifted her hair and asked coldly, "Is Your Majesty a woman or not?" You make it clear."

"No...... It's not."

"Go on, until she tells the truth." Concubine Zhao waved her hand indifferently, and the eunuchs continued to torture Concubine Jin.

Concubine Jin couldn't figure it out at all, she didn't know what the Queen Mother wanted!

Under such torture, she was a little delirious in the end, so she could only follow her instinct and beg for mercy: "The concubine tells the truth, Your Majesty is indeed a woman, the concubine has seen it with her own eyes, and the concubine has seen it with her own eyes!"

It seemed that she was getting the result she wanted, so Concubine Zhao ordered, "Stop, put her in prison!"

The last scene was all seen by the civil and military officials who rushed over, as well as Wei Qing and others.

Everyone heard Concubine Jin say that the emperor was a woman, and now they were all dumbfounded.

And Wei Qing's face turned even pale!
