Chapter 26: The Truth About the Death of the First Empress

These days, a rumor suddenly appeared in the capital that the first queen was killed by the queen's mother. This rumor spread with noses and eyes, and the people of the capital will be suspicious. Later, this rumor spread more and more, so that the people in the capital gradually believed that the rumor was true.

The three of them become tigers, and the rumors spread more, and the number of people who believe in them will naturally increase. Once the number of people who believe increases, the rumors will become true.

In fact, the people didn't believe it at first, but when Queen Xie and King Jing began to strictly investigate and punish those who spread rumors, the people really believed it.

In Zhaoyang Palace, Empress Xie angrily smashed a lot of tea cups and vases.

"Why can't you stop it, who spread it?" Queen Xie was so angry that her eyes went dark, and she stumbled, and then fell on the chair.

Jiang Chuan hurriedly stepped forward and reached out to rub Queen Xie's temples.

"Niangniang, you have to take care of your jade body."

Empress Xie impatiently waved Jiang Chuan's hand away, and said with a face full of anger: "Someone wants to kill this palace!" "Who is so vicious that such a vicious rumor is spreading. Also, there will be no second person in the world who knows about this matter except her. Back then, my mother dealt with all the people involved in this matter, and it was impossible for anyone to know. Who the hell is it and how does he know?

Jiang Chuan had never seen Empress Xie so ruthless, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to say a word. Although Empress Xie's temper has always been bad, and she often loses her temper in the palace, she has never been like this in these days.

At this moment, King Jing walked in, and when he saw the debris all over the ground and the angry Queen Xie, who was blue in face, he knew that Queen Xie had just made another big fuss.

King Jing glanced at Jiang Chuan, and then he went to help Queen Xie, and the mother and son went to the study.

Jiang Chuan brought a cup of soothing tea, and after King Jing took it, he personally brought it to Queen Xie.

"Queen Mother, take a sip of tea to dissipate your anger."

Empress Xie took the teacup, took two sips rudely, and then slammed the teacup on the table.

"Queen Mother, it's not worth it to be angry, you have to take care of your body."

Seeing her son's calm appearance, the anger in Queen Xie's heart decreased slightly. She asked with a gloomy face, "Have you found out who it is?" ”

"Queen Mother, do you need to investigate the culprit who spread this rumor?" King Jing furrowed his brows, and his expression became gloomy, "The reason why the rumors can't be stopped is because the identity of the mastermind behind the scenes is not simple. ”

When Empress Xie heard this, a touch of coldness crossed her eyes, and her tone was cold: "Concubine Rong, their mother and son!" ”

"Who else but them." During this time, King Jing has been investigating the rumors, but after investigation, he only found some small Luo Luo. These little Luo Luo said that they received money from others, so they spread rumors around the capital. However, as to who the culprit is, these little Rolls do not know.

Although there is no evidence that it was done by the king, King Jing suspects that he did it.

Empress Xie's hands were clenched into fists, and her face became hideous and distorted because she was too angry, which was very scary.

"Concubine Rong is a slut, this palace must kill her!"

"Queen Mother, we have no evidence, so we can't help them." King Jing didn't expect that the acting king would be so insidious and make up such vicious rumors. "Mother, we can't be passive like this anymore."

"What do you mean?" Empress Xie was so angry that she completely lost her mind, and she didn't have the slightest idea in her head.

"Although my father didn't believe the rumors, if I continue to spread them like this, I'm afraid that my father will believe it."

This is what Empress Xie is most afraid of. She asked, "What do you say you want to do?" ”

"Queen Mother, you should be sick, and you are going to be very sick...... King Jing said something in Queen Xie's ear.

After Empress Xie heard this, the horror on her face faded a lot.

"Okay." In the past few days, Queen Xie has been suffering from rumors and headaches, and she is indeed sick.

King Jing looked at Queen Xie and hesitated in his heart before asking, "Queen Mother, tell me the truth, are the rumors true?" ”

Empress Xie's face immediately sank, and she asked in an unhappy tone, "Do you also believe in rumors?" ”

King Jing did not speak. He understands the nature of the queen mother, and the queen mother can do the things that are rumored.

"Mother, it doesn't matter if I believe it or not, the important thing is whether my father believes it or not. However, I still hope that the Queen Mother will tell me the truth, so that I can better cope with the next things. ”

"A rumor is a rumor, and without any evidence, the emperor will not believe it." Queen Xie was very angry and scared about the rumors, but she was not weak-hearted, because it was indeed not her who did it.

"Mother, follow me, are you still unwilling to tell the truth?"

Empress Xie looked at her son and didn't speak for a long time. After a long while, she spoke: "Xie Wan was not killed by me, it was your grandmother's hand." ”

"Grandmother?" King Jing was stunned at first, and then returned to normal. Outside of grandmother's temperament and methods, it is normal to get rid of Xie Wan.

"Your grandmother did this very secretively, leaving no evidence or clues." Empress Xie said, "All the people involved in this incident have also been eliminated by your grandmother." No one in this world knows about this except me, including your grandfather and uncle. ”

King Jing looked surprised: "Didn't my grandmother tell my grandfather?" ”

"Your grandfather and your uncle like Xie Wan very much, and they will never agree to your grandmother getting rid of Xie Wan." Empress Xie raised her hand and rubbed her throbbing temples, "Your grandmother secretly got rid of Xie Wan." ”

King Jing was not surprised when he learned that it was the Duchess of Lao Zhenguo who did it. Although his grandmother died of illness when he was very young, he didn't remember much about his grandmother, but with his grandmother's temperament and methods, it was not surprising that she wanted to get rid of the first queen and make the queen queen queen, after all, the queen mother was her old man's biological daughter.

"Grandmother's poisoning?"

"Well, it's a chronic poison."

"No, if it's poison, it's impossible for the doctors not to find it." King Jing thought to himself, no matter how powerful his grandmother and queen mother were, they couldn't let all the imperial doctors obey their orders. If nothing else, let's just say that Imperial Doctor Lu, who has been diagnosing his father's pulse, can't be bought by anyone.

"Not all at once, but a little bit." Empress Xie frowned in pain, "A little bit of toxicity will be very light, and it will be difficult for the Imperial Doctor to detect it." ”

"A little bit, you shouldn't be able to poison Xie Wan."

"You can't poison her, but you can slowly destroy her body and make her body weak unconsciously."

King Jing continued to ask, "When did Grandmother start poisoning Xie Wan?" ”

"After Xie Wan gave birth to a son." In fact, when the first queen was pregnant, the old town princess wanted her to have two lives, but at that time, the Wang family and the Yuan family both wanted to marry the Zhao family, and the old town princess did not make a move on the first queen for the time being.

After the first queen gave birth to a son, the relationship between the Xie family and the Zhao family became closer, and the position of the first queen, the lady of the Zhao family, was firmly seated, and the old princess of Zhenguo began to deal with the first queen.

When the first queen gave birth to the abolished prince, she was bleeding heavily and almost had a difficult birth, although there was no danger, but in the end she hurt her body. The Duchess of Lao Zhenguo took this opportunity and began to poison the former queen.

The first queen was already injured, and coupled with poisoning, it was naturally impossible for her body to recover completely. After the first queen was confined, her body was still very weak, and she recuperated for two months before her body got better. Since then, the first queen's health has not been very good. However, in order not to be discovered, the Duchess of Lao Zhenguo did not poison the first queen every day, but once a month, and each time she was particularly light.

Chronic poison has been accumulating over the years, destroying the health of the former queen little by little. In addition, after Xie Wan became the queen, she became very busy, and she was heartbroken for trivial matters in the palace, and her body became worse and worse. Therefore, she died of illness within a few years of becoming queen.

After listening to Queen Xie's words, King Jing sighed with a complicated expression: "Grandmother is really a good means, she did it without anyone knowing, and she was not discovered by anyone. ”

Thinking of her mother who died of illness, Empress Xie's face unconsciously showed a proud smile.

"Your grandmother is very good."

"I love you very much." The grandmother tried her best to get rid of the first queen, in order to let the queen mother marry her father.

"Yes, my grandmother hurts me the most." Empress Xie smiled, "Whatever I want, she will try her best to give it to me." ”

"Queen Mother, you just said that there will be no second person in this world who knows what happened back then, why do they know about the king?"

This is also where Empress Xie is puzzled.

"The people of that year are all dead, and it is impossible for anyone to reveal what happened back then."

"Acting king, they should be guessing." King Jing thought for a while and said, "If they had evidence, they would have taken it out to their father a long time ago." ”

"Why would they speculate?" Back then, she had always pretended to be a sister with Xie Wan, everyone thought they were good sisters, and no one could suspect that Xie Wan was killed by her.

"They didn't have evidence, so they made up this rumor, and the purpose was naturally to pull your mother down." Although not many of the ministers believe this rumor, if it continues like this, more and more people will believe it. Even if you don't believe it, you will doubt it. "Since the rumors can't be stopped, let's replace them with a new one."

Empress Xie asked with a puzzled face, "New rumors, what rumors?" ”

"Compared to you, Concubine Rong hates Xie Wan even more." King Jing raised the corners of his mouth and smiled sinisterly, "Let's change the rumors a little, let's just say that Concubine Rong killed Xie Wan, and then blame you for it." ”

After Empress Xie heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up, and her expression became excited: "You're right, compared to this palace, Concubine Rong Guifei's slut hates Xie Wan more, after all, she has always felt that Xie Wan has robbed her of the position of his wife and snatched her position as the queen." ”

"If they want to bring us down through this rumor, then we will treat them in the same way as others."

Empress Xie's face was full of joy: "Okay, good, it's really good!" ”

King Jing was still not very worried about what happened back then, and asked again: "Queen Mother, are you sure that there is no evidence left behind about the events of that year?" ”

"Sure." Empress Xie said firmly, "You can not believe me, but you can't not believe your grandmother." "She may leave traces in her work, but her mother's work will never leave a trace.

After getting Queen Xie's affirmative answer, King Jing breathed a sigh of relief in his heart: "Then I'll be relieved." "If there is evidence, then their mother and son are finished.

King Jing talked to Empress Xie for a while before leaving, and then went to the imperial study to see the emperor.

In the imperial study, King Jing cried out for Queen Xie.

Sun Kui, who was on the side, cried when he saw King Jing talking, and he cried very sincerely, and he was amazed by King Jing's good acting skills in his heart.

When the emperor saw King Jing crying like a child, he comforted him warmly and told him that he only believed in evidence and not rumors.

King Jing heard the emperor say this again, so he left the imperial study with confidence. On the way out of the palace, he was still crying, crying for Queen Xie being framed. At this time, everyone in the entire palace knew that King Jing was filial and saddened that Queen Xie was framed by evil words.

In the afternoon of the same day, there was a new rumor in the capital, saying that the first queen was actually killed by Rong Guifei. Regarding the grievances and grievances between the former queen and Concubine Rong, they were also spread in the capital. also said that after the death of the first queen, Concubine Rong thought that she could be the queen, but she didn't expect the queen's sister to rob her of the queen's position. Because of this incident, Concubine Rong hated the queen to death. Therefore, the previous rumors about the former queen being killed by the queen's mother were spread by Concubine Rong.

The people of the capital didn't expect this matter to be reversed. Compared with the rumor that the first queen was killed by her own sister, the people believed that Rong Guifei killed the first queen.

Soon, the news that Concubine Rong killed the former queen and framed the queen's mother was known all over the city.

The acting king gloated at first, and then secretly fueled the previous rumors, wanting to take this opportunity to pull the queen down. They originally planned to add fuel to the fire in the past two days, making the rumors even more violent, but they didn't expect that in a blink of an eye, the fire burned on Rong Guifei's head, and the fire was so fierce that it couldn't be stopped.

When Concubine Rong learned of this rumor, she was so anxious that she immediately went to the emperor to cry her grievances.

The emperor coaxed for a long time, and then coaxed Rong Guifei away.

Seeing the emperor's headache expression, Sun Kui asked with concern, "Your Majesty, are you okay?" ”

"It's a headache." The emperor is the most annoying woman, crying and crying. Concubine Rong kept crying, and the crying emperor was upset and irritable. "One crying, two troubles, three hangings, she is not tired, I am tired of it." Concubine Rong likes to cry, make trouble, and hang herself.

Sun Kui is not easy to answer.

"Lao Qi is really capable." King Jing's move made the emperor a little surprised, "Sun Kui, which do you say you believe?" ”

"The slave maid heard that the people are now more convinced that it was Concubine Rong who hated the former queen and killed the first queen."

"I remember that in the past few days, the people believed that the queen killed the first queen, but I didn't expect that in less than a day, the people believed that Concubine Rong killed the first queen." The emperor smiled and said, "The people are really fickle." ”

Sun Kui did not speak.

"I was still thinking about how the queen and Lao Qi would deal with this rumor, but I didn't expect Lao Qi to directly treat him as a human being." The Emperor smiled meaningfully, "Old Seven really surprised me. ”

Sun Kui thought to himself: King Jing turned things around, it's really amazing.

The emperor asked: "How do you say the second child should deal with the seventh child?" ”

Sun Kui: "The slave doesn't know. "If the acting king wants to fight back against King Jing's move, the best way is to find evidence that the queen killed the first queen back then. However, the king will never be found.

"Xiao Shi, this stinky boy, has played the second and seventh children around." Zhao Yao did not run back to the capital because of Pan Cairen's death, and did not disappoint the emperor. Now Zhao Yao secretly let the Dai Wang and Jing Wang Dou die and come back to life, and the emperor is very satisfied with this.

The emperor's words first made Sun Kui slightly stunned, and then he reacted and said with a shocked face: "Your Majesty, the rumor that the first queen was killed by the queen was made by His Royal Highness the King of Han?" He thought it was done by His Royal Highness the King.

"Not so."

Sun Kui was horrified in his heart, "How could His Royal Highness the King of Han know...... "How would he know that the first queen was killed by the queen's mother."

"He was suspicious many years ago and has been secretly looking for evidence." The emperor chuckled and said, "If it weren't for Pan Cairen's self-hanging, this stinky boy would continue to hide this matter and wait until the critical time to take it out." ”

Sun Kui: "!! "Many years ago, His Royal Highness the King of Han was suspicious?!

On the surface, there is nothing abnormal about the death of the first queen, and no one can see it, how did His Royal Highness the King of Han see that the death of the first queen was abnormal?

"This stinky boy let the second and seventh children fight, and he didn't have time to find trouble with Xiaoxiao and him, but it was a bad thing for me." The real cause of the first empress's death, the emperor has long known. (End of chapter)
