"Naturally not!" Qiushuang immediately shook her head, "The Queen Mother is in the harem, and many things are inconvenient to do, let alone colluding with the second prince. ”

"That's the Lin family." Shi Yu laughed, "It seems that the queen mother has long known that the Lin family and Nie Zhixuan, or rather, have a connection with Li Changqing, this time whether it is her, the Lin family, or Li Changqing, they all want to take this opportunity to get rid of the five princes." ”

Nie Zhaoyi frowned, and subconsciously looked at Qiushuang.

The latter just knelt on the ground, did not say a word, and seemed to have made up his mind not to speak again.

"There's no point in being silent anymore." Shi Yu reminded.

But Qiushuang still just shook her head, "The slave can't say." ”

Hearing this, Jing Heng, who had been silent, spoke.

"Is it for the child you gave birth to?"

Qiu Shuang shuddered violently and looked at Jing Heng in horror, "How do you know?" ”

Realizing that he had lost his words, he hurriedly wanted to change his words, but when he met Jing Heng's gaze, the whole person froze in place.

"My child, is he in your hands now......"

"I was dead five years ago."

"What?" Qiu Shuang's face turned pale in an instant, and after reacting, she suddenly straightened up and spoke, "No, it's impossible!" My son is alive and well, he ......."

"Have you seen your son since you left the palace?" Jing Heng interrupted Autumn Frost.

Qiu Shuang shook her head in a daze, and hurriedly said: "But that's because the Queen Mother is worried that I will get out of control and leak secrets, so I am not allowed to leave the imperial city!" ”

"Then before you left the palace, did Empress Dowager Lin promise you to let you go and see your son?" Jing Heng spoke again.

Qiushuang was stunned again, she couldn't stand the emperor's pleas before, and the queen mother agreed to let her out of the palace.

But she has already made an appointment in private, these are just a show on the surface, and she also understands that she knows such a big secret, and she can only live under the nose of the Queen Mother in this life.

But at that time, the Queen Mother did agree, and after she left the palace, she could go to see her son.

Since giving birth to that child, she has seen him three times, and she is overjoyed to see him again, but before she can meet, she is locked up by the Queen Mother's people.

At that time, she thought that the Queen Mother would not worry about letting her leave after all, could she ......

Facing Qiushuang's frightened gaze, Jing Heng continued: "Just as you were leaving the palace, that child fell into the well and died. Because of the suddenness of the incident, Empress Dowager Lin could only go back on her word and not let you go to see him. ”

Since he learned that Nie Shiyu was a woman, he ordered to chase the clouds and carefully investigated all the people related to her.

I have to say that the matter of autumn frost is very well concealed by Empress Dowager Lin, and it is very secretive.

If it weren't for the fact that Qiushuang had a record of going out of the palace to visit relatives three times, and before leaving the palace for the third time, her family had all passed away, she might not be able to detect the abnormality and find out the illegitimate child.

But even so, it took a lot of effort to do so, and it is not until today that the definite news has arrived.

Qiushuang still didn't want to believe it, and shook her head desperately, but her back that had just straightened had already collapsed.

"It is said that mother and son are connected, and Aunt Shuang's heart may also have a premonition."

Shi Yu's words seemed to be just a soft sigh, but it was like a cold wind, blowing Qiu Shuang's whole heart shrinking together.

She suddenly remembered that not long ago, she quietly went to see the Empress Dowager Lin, and when she proposed to see her child, the other party was kind and pleasant, and comforted her.

In previous years, when it came to this topic, Empress Dowager Lin was mostly irritable and displeased, thinking that she would cause trouble when she left the palace, and it seemed that it was the first time she was so gentle.

It was as if a hole had been torn open, and then a huge wave of doubt and panic rushed to the face, and it was overwhelming at once.

Qiushuang kept thinking about all kinds of possibilities in her heart, recalling all kinds of details, wanting to find evidence that her son was still alive, but every time she remembered a little, the fear in her heart would be more.

Shi Yu frowned at Qiushuang's appearance, and after a while, sighed softly.

"Aunt Shuang think about it for herself first, and when you calm down, we'll talk."

As he spoke, Shi Yu glanced at Jing Heng, and the two left the room.

Xiao Xiazi pushed the wheelchair for Nie Zhaoyi and walked out with Chaiyun.

On the corridor a little farther away, Shi Yu stopped, and just as she turned her head to look back, there was a faint cry of fear in the room.

"Your Majesty, Aunt Qiushuang won't be unable to think about it, in case she commits suicide......" Xiao Xiazi didn't finish speaking.

"No, it won't." Shi Yu shook her head, "No matter how painful and scared she is now, she hasn't personally verified this matter, and she still has a little expectation in her heart after all." ”

As long as there is still this expectation, Qiushuang will not do stupid things.

Shi Yu looked sideways at Jing Heng, "There is one more thing ......"

"The emperor wants to know if Qiu Shuang's birth of a child is also in Empress Dowager Lin's plan?" Jing Heng took Shi Yu's words and spoke.

The latter nodded.

It was only after she made a plan today that she learned the secret from Jing Heng.

According to Jing Heng, not long after the birth of the original owner Nie Shiyu, Qiu Shuang fell in love with a waiter, and later became a secret knot.

Under the cover and protection of Empress Dowager Lin, Qiushuang successfully gave birth to a child, and this became the best bargaining chip for Empress Dowager Lin to threaten Qiushuang.

Thinking about it carefully, she really had to suspect that this matter might have been the handiwork of Empress Dowager Lin from beginning to end.

"After all, it will take some time to find out after many years. But ......"

Jing Heng looked at the room and continued to speak.

"An ordinary guard can enter the harem many times, have sex with the palace girl, and meet in private, how can such a thing not leak the news. Even if it wasn't the Empress Dowager Lin's instructions at the beginning, she was definitely indispensable to her later. ”

Even if Empress Dowager Lin is cautious and wants to hide her gender and completely turn a princess into a prince, the trouble can be imagined.

Qiushuang, as a personal palace maid, must have brought great help to Empress Dowager Lin. At that time, Empress Dowager Lin was indispensable to her, and she could be more assured by holding the handle.

"If that's the case, then Aunt Qiushuang is quite pitiful."

Xiao Xiazi couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and after speaking, when he noticed Nie Zhaoyi's frowning and unhappy gaze, the expression on his face couldn't help but stiffen.

"Fifth prince, the slave is just talking about things, as for the fact that she almost killed you, of course it was a big mistake!"

Nie Zhaoyi shook his head, "I can leave this aside for the time being, but it's ......"

His gaze fell on Shi Yu, and Nie Zhaoyi's brows furrowed even tighter.

"Brother Huang suspected that there would be a problem with this disaster relief from the beginning, although he chose to plan and test the people hiding around you, but is it really worth it for the courtiers to dare to delay the disaster relief?"

Disaster relief has always been urgent, and every day of delay may lead to the death of the victims.

"The fifth prince is blaming the emperor?" Jing Heng spoke coldly.

Nie Zhaoyi gritted his teeth and didn't speak, but the expression on his face already explained his thoughts.

Above the corridor, there was a sudden silence, and the atmosphere fell into a stalemate.

Looking at Nie Zhaoyi's increasingly ugly face, Shi Yu couldn't help but laugh.

"Overseer, tell him the truth, if he crushes his teeth, he will have to spend money to pretend to be a fake."
