Chapter 91: The Queen's Help
Prince Yong's words won the support of all the clan relatives, but everyone only dared to whisper, and no one dared to say the matter directly like Prince Yong.
Wei Yan also didn't expect that the truth found out at the beginning would be used to prove that another piece of evidence was meaningless.
Concubine Ning wanted to say something, but she was afraid that her words would make the clan relatives bring up Geng Chongrong's old matter again, so she also became dumb.
An Ruo looked at the evidence, and really felt that it was very thin, thinking about it, even if Prince Li and Princess Li were still alive and came forward to testify in person, no one would necessarily believe it.
If this is Wei Yan's so-called killer feature, it is really, quite disappointing.
Just when An Ruo thought that the scene would continue to be stalemate like this, and finally Wei Yan needed to win by force, the eunuch's singing and harmony broke this almost stagnant aura.
"The Queen Mother has arrived!"
Since raising the fetus, An Ruo, who has never seen the queen again, stood up with a bulging abdomen, ignored the clan relatives in the hall, and walked to Wei Yan's side.
"The concubine asks the emperor for peace."
Seeing Queen Yingying bow down, An Ruo and Concubine Ning glanced at each other, and realized one thing at the same time, after they entered the palace, they were busy arguing with the clan, and no one actually saluted Wei Yan!
Wei Yan got up, picked up the queen, and reproached: "It's good if you let people send Lan Xin over, why bother to come over in person, your body has just recovered a little, where can you stand such hard work?" ”
"This is a major matter related to the country, and the concubines really can't let go, not to mention that the imperial doctor takes care of them very well, and the concubines also want to come out and walk around."
Seeing this, Wei Yan didn't say much, pulled the queen to sit on the chair beside him, and then looked at the clans.
"What? Do you think that I don't deserve this throne, so I don't know how to see the queen as if I was blind to it? ”
Prince Yong snorted softly, and Prince Rui pulled his sleeve and dragged someone to salute the queen. There were two people taking the lead, and other clan relatives also saluted.
"This palace never thought that this matter would have such a great impact on the royal family. It's just that from the triage of the three divisions to the fire in the cold palace, one ring after another, the emperor and the palace suspect that someone is secretly fueling the flames behind their backs, and intends to shake the country of the dynasty, so they want to lure the snake out of the hole, so they press the evidence in their hands and keep it secret. But he didn't want to, but he killed the first emperor and concubine and was strangled to death in Shoukang Palace. If such thieves are not dealt with, the kingdom will be unstable. ”
Prince Yong's Hang'er Lang interrupted the queen's words and said, "The queen might as well take out the evidence directly, otherwise, this position, I'm afraid you won't be able to sit steadily." ”
The queen's eyes narrowed slightly, and she called: "Come on, Xuanlan Xin enters the hall." ”
When the royal family heard this, they talked about it.
"It's not that Lan Xin is dead, it's still in front of the Qin family's face pin, how can he still come back from the dead."
"Who can explain the things in this palace!"
"That's it, today I just came to watch the play, the sword of the guards in the hall is not fake."
"Anyway, Prince Xian didn't come, so it couldn't be ......"
"Hey, I'm afraid it's another chaos in the last years of the first emperor."
……
An emaciated figure stepped into the Qianqing Palace, and the Qin clan, who had been writhing and whimpering on the ground, stared at the figure as if he had been immobilized.
Seeing this, Gonggong Yan immediately went to take out the handkerchief in Qin's mouth.
was able to speak, and the Qin clan immediately revealed the identity of the other party.
"Sister Lan Xin? You weren't killed by the rod, how could you be here? ”
After Lan Xin saluted everyone, he helped Qin Clan up, and during the action, Qin's sleeves slipped off, revealing the large and small scars inside.
Lan Xin stroked Qin's hair with pity, and sighed: "Sure enough, time flies, and you, the youngest in Yanxi Palace, have already left the palace to get married. It's a pity that you don't meet people and have a bad time. I was indeed reprimanded with a cane, and everyone thought I was dead, but I was thrown into a mass grave, but I actually still had a breath left. Later, he was lucky to be rescued and hid for many years, until he was discovered by the queen mother, and under her protection, he survived until now. Good sister, you were deceived back then. ”
"How so? Isn't that confession my sister's? ”
"That confession was indeed what I said back then, but I was instructed by Empress Xiaomin to do such a wrong thing, so that the first emperor and concubine were wronged for many years. Back then, the concubine Niangniang favored the harem, and none of the concubines in the harem treated Niangniang to see Niangniang, even me and Huixin were also ostracized, and later Queen Xiaomin pinched me and Huixin's family and made us perjury. But I didn't expect that Empress Xiaomin was so vicious, and after Huixin and I pointed out this matter, she made people gag us and was born in front of Yanxi Palace, and wanted to kill the two of us. ”
When Lan Xin said this, as if hatred was monstrous, tears flowed down his face.
"Later, after being rescued, I secretly went to visit my family, and then I learned that Queen Xiaomin was a slut with a honey belly and a sword, and my family and Lan Xin's family had already died in a fire, which was definitely not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster."
Prince Yong twisted his face and said, "Even if you are Lan Xin, if you want to overturn the case for the first emperor and concubine based on your confession alone, I am afraid it will not be enough to win everyone's trust." ”
"The slave maid naturally won't say without evidence, after Empress Xiaomin gave me and Huixin instructions, in order to appease us, she also rewarded us with a pair of jade bracelets, and all the contacts were also a note delivered by Aunt Yuxin in the palace of Empress Xiaomin. The slave maid kept an eye on it back then, and buried these things under the magnolia tree in Yanxi Palace, thinking that they can still be dug up now. Moreover, in the past, Aunt Yuxin, who was next to Empress Xiaomin, knew best, and she could call for a question at any time. ”
Wei Yan glanced at Gong Yan, and Gong Yan immediately asked people to escort Aunt Yuxin, who was nursing in the palace, over, and then asked people to go to the magnolia tree in Yanxi Palace to look for the evidence of that year.
In a few moments, a jar of wine covered with dirt was presented, and inside was a pair of jade bracelets, and paper that was almost shattered at the slightest touch, and a bottle of ecstasy.
The content on the paper is very detailed to indicate how the first emperor and concubine were framed that day, and the old paper used by the emperor cannot be faked at all.
Wei Yan said: "There is already physical evidence, but now there is only a shortage of human evidence. ”
After a while, Aunt Yuxin was escorted into the hall in embarrassment, looking at Wei Yan's eyes full of disgust and disgust.
Lan Xin saw Aunt Yuxin come in, and the corners of her mouth curled up with an oozing smile: "Aunt Yuxin, do you still remember the slave?" When you dream back at midnight, have you ever seen Huixin looking for your life? ”
Aunt Yuxin turned her head sideways, and her eyes couldn't help shrinking the moment she saw Lan Xin, and she breathed a sigh of relief invisibly after seeing Lan Xin's shadow.
"Humph! What Huixin, Lanxin, the old slave has been in the harem for decades, and he has seen countless palace maids and eunuchs, and he can remember them clearly everywhere. ”
The queen held her stomach and asked, "Why is Aunt Yuxin so embarrassed?" ”
Gonggong Yan replied: "Niangniang, this Yuxin tried to commit suicide by hitting the pillar when he was escorted, but fortunately, the guards were quick to shoot, otherwise I am afraid that I would not be able to bring anyone." ”
"Auntie, what's the reason for this? If you don't be a thief, how can you live a good life and want to kill yourself? ”
Yuxin lowered his head, trying to resist stubbornly, and resolutely refused to say a word.
Concubine Ning touched her armor and said, "I'm afraid that I know that I was tortured, and I want to give myself a good time." ”
The queen sighed and said, "Why bother! That's it, then let's drag it to the Criminal Division for interrogation, Master Cui, I'm sorry for you. ”
Master Cui bowed his hand slightly, ignoring Yuxin's shouting and scolding, and dragged the person away.
The clans did not expect the situation to reverse so quickly, but they were secretly glad that they were not as brainless as Prince Yong, and subconsciously, they all stayed away from Prince Yong.
Prince Yong, who was isolated, obviously realized that the situation was not in his favor, and immediately said sharply: "It's just a trial, that is, this king has misunderstood, and the emperor will not want to investigate the fault of this king!" ”
Wei Yan smiled: "What? Uncle Wang admits that he is wrong? Yuxin's confession hasn't been tried yet! ”
Prince Yong blinked, and subconsciously looked at the shadow guard.
"Does Prince Yong know this shadow guard? Oh, I'm afraid that Grandpa Xu also knows each other, right? Why don't you two solve your confusion for me? ”
Gonggong Xu hesitated for a long time and said: "Actually, it's nothing, it's just that this involves a scandal during the first emperor, speaking of which, he should be regarded as the emperor's ......."
Two silver needles shot out of the shadow guard's sleeve, one pointed directly at Wei Yan's eyebrows, and the other shot at Xu Gonggong's eyebrows.
Unguarded, Gonggong Xu fell in response, but Wei Yan was still sitting on the dragon chair, but in front of him, An Ruo fell into his arms.
The guards who reacted quickly protected Wei Yan behind them, and some of them attacked the shadow guards, while the clan relatives retreated desperately in panic.
Shadow Guard looked up to the sky and smiled: "It's a pity! However, Wei Yan, the army is about to attack the city, and I don't know if your palace will be able to withstand it. ”
The shadow guard spoke, and quickly repelled the approaching guards.
Prince Yong subconsciously shouted: "Don't forget this king." ”
The shadow guard glanced at Prince Yong, attacked it, stabbed a sword into Prince Yong's chest, and said with a smile: "Naturally, I won't forget you." ”
The shadow guard pulled out his sword, Prince Yong fell to the ground in response, and the guards were shocked by this sudden moment, giving the shadow guard a chance to escape, and the shadow guard quickly left the Qianqing Palace and ran outside the palace.
Here, Wei Yan's eyes were split, and he immediately held An Ruo in his arms and shook An Ruo desperately.
"Ruoruo, Ruoruo, what about you?"
"Cough, it just hurts, can you light it up, even if it's fine, it's estimated that you will be shaken to death."
An Ruo covered the place where the silver needle pierced her abdomen, she calculated the distance at that moment, if the silver needle pierced Wei Yan's eyebrows, Wei Yan would definitely die, but if she resisted herself, it would only pierce her abdomen, and there was a high probability that she would not die.
Wei Yan was relieved to see that An Ruo was still in the mood to laugh, and immediately called the imperial doctor to treat An Ruo, but heard a painful cry from the queen beside him.
Obviously, the sudden accident also frightened the queen, who held her stomach and slowly slipped to the ground, and blood also flowed down her legs.
