"There is another mystery to this matter. After Guanyin servant girl recovers, I will tell you slowly."

When Li Er was talking to Empress Changsun, Mi Tuo and Li Wangyou were still busy interrogating the court lady Yue Ran.

Now Li Zhi has been found, but the matter has not been verified yet...

443 Chi Mei Wang Two

As the heart of the Tang Dynasty, the Tai Chi Palace affected every nerve of this powerful empire, especially in Chang'an City.

Empress Changsun was in pain in her abdomen and the news that she was about to give birth to a child had already been leaked to the outside world through various channels in the palace while reaching Li Er's ears.

This made those aristocratic aristocrats who took over Cheng Yaojin's large gambling handicap in their home gambling shops, feel like they are mourning their concubine, and feel like the world is falling apart.

These aristocratic families, no matter what, couldn't believe that Huxian Bo could really know when His Highness the Queen gave birth?

Could it be that this young man really has a magic trick?

Many aristocratic patriarchs who got the news rushed to Qiwang with the five surnames of Taiyuan Wang, Xingyang Zheng, and Boling Cui, wanting to ask what they should do now?

Is it just like this, losing 50 taels of gold?

Contrary to the expectations of these aristocratic patriarchs, whether it is Wang Renyou or Zheng Yuanshou, these aristocratic patriarchs with five surnames and Qiwang seem not to worry about losing the bet at all.

"My lords, the sky hasn't fallen yet. It's true that Her Royal Highness gave birth today, but who can be sure that Her Royal Highness will definitely give birth to a prince?"

Wang Renyou comforted the head of the aristocratic family who came to complain, but a contemptuous smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"My lord, since the county uncle of Hu can even calculate when the queen will give birth, can it be wrong whether it is a man or a woman? Hey, it's just that the old man is too greedy to accept the bet of 6000 taels of gold from Qiao Guogong. This will cost 3 taels of gold, and I really can't live."

"Okay, what's the use of saying this now? I have that bastard surnamed Li in the Wang family of Taiyuan, who bet 1 taels of gold. If he loses, he will pay 5 taels of gold. I haven't said anything yet, so you guys Why panic?"

Wang Renyou reprimanded displeasedly, which left the patriarchs of those aristocratic families speechless for a moment.

Everyone could only sit there, anxiously waiting for the news.

When all the gates of the Taiji Palace were suddenly closed and the palace was sealed off, everyone was a little surprised and didn't know what happened.

But the news that Empress Changsun gave birth to a baby girl was spread before Li Er ordered the palace ban to be sealed off.

The news quickly spread around Chang'an City.

Those aristocratic families who opened casinos couldn't help cheering, thinking that this time the county uncle Hu, as well as the dukes of the state and county, could not lose money by stealing chickens.

I had been worrying in vain for several days before, but now I finally let go of a hanging heart.

It was even more fortunate to find Wang Renyou, Zheng Yuanshou and others who cried and complained.

They don't care what happens in the Tai Chi Palace, as long as their gold is not exported, that's a good thing.

On the contrary, Wang Renyou and Zheng Yuanshou, the patriarchs with five surnames and seven Wangs, who had always been calm before, couldn't help but look at each other after learning that the Taiji Palace was sealed off, their eyes full of worry.

Li Wangyou's guess was actually not wrong at all.

In the main hall of the Tai Chi Palace, it was Wang Renyou and Zheng Yuanshou, the patriarchs with five surnames and seven Wangs, who conspired to exchange the civet cat for the crown prince.

Among the gambling houses of theirs, at least ten thousand taels of gold were wagered on the betting that the eldest grandson empress would give birth to a prince today.

If they lost, I am afraid that each family would have to lose 6 to [-] taels of gold.

5 taels of gold, equivalent to 30 guan.

Three hundred million dollars is not a small sum.

Even with five surnames and seven thousand years of accumulation, it would take a lot of money to get that much gold, and you might even have to sell some fields.

These aristocratic families naturally have many industries in their families. All kinds of real estate, fields, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings are worth tens of millions at least, and they can be called rich.

But if you want to talk about gold and copper coins, it's like those super rich people on the Forbes rich list in later generations.Although the individual is worth tens of billions of dollars, it is a reason why there may not be much cash in his account.

How could Wang Renyou and others be willing to give away the golden copper coins and gold for nothing?After realizing something was wrong, several people conspired and set up such a trick of replacing the civet cat with the prince.

Buying the stable woman in the palace, mobilizing the hidden sons buried in the Taiji Palace, after some careful planning, they really almost succeeded.

If Li Wangyou didn't know the history, and it happened that the baby girl they sent to the palace to replace the prince had double eyelids, I am afraid that this matter would have been done without anyone noticing it, and it was done by these powerful families.

Originally, the news came from the palace that Empress Changsun gave birth to a princess, which made Wang Renyou and the others very proud.

So what if Li Shimingui is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty?

Isn't it the same as being played by their family on top of applause?

Wang Renyou, Zheng Yuanshou and the others almost burst out laughing when they thought of Li Shimin's plan to raise a "Xibei guy" as his own daughter in the future.

But then the gate of Tai Chi Palace was closed ahead of time and the palace was sealed off. Not only did they cut off contact with the palace, they couldn't send out any news, and it cast a shadow over several people's minds.

Did something happen?

Li Er found out about replacing the prince?

Zheng Yuanshou lowered his voice, and leaned into Wang Renyou's ear: "Your Majesty, can you clean up that matter?"

"Don't worry, Mr. Zheng. The baby girl was bought yesterday from a farmer who just gave birth in the suburbs of Xianyang. After that, the old man has sent someone to kill that family. As for the Wen woman in the palace, she not only took Cui Cui's gold, her family has already been transferred and controlled by Cui. She knows the pros and cons and how to choose. As for the two maids in the queen's bedroom, it doesn't matter. They don't know at all whether they are Who works for you?" Wang Renyou said with a ruthless expression on his face.

"That's good! It took me a lot of effort to send the baby girl into the palace. For this reason, I sent someone to silence the baby after the baby girl was sent to the palace. It's a pity, the Wing Chun sect. Marshal Lu, it took our Zheng family a lot of gold to buy it." Zheng Yuanshou said it was a pity, but his face was full of complacency.

Dare to do such a thing in the Tai Chi Palace, which made the Patriarchs of the Five Surnames and Seven Wangs very proud.

In this matter, the aristocratic families are also working together.

The stable woman in the palace was bought by the Cui family of Boling, and her family was also controlled.That's why the Wen woman didn't dare to turn against the water at the end of the incident, and would rather hang herself to protect her family.

The Zheng family of Xingyang was responsible for sending the baby girl to the East Palace.

The source of the baby girl was searched by the Wang family of Taiyuan; and the two maids beside the Empress Changsun were the secret sons of the Fan Yang Lu family who had already buried in the palace.

Just like what Li Wangyou said, for the sake of gold, these aristocratic families will do anything.

Chi and Mei are separated from each other, and it is impossible to meet them.

"Just wait and see! I hope there will be no accidents." Wang Renyou sighed.

They were not worried that things would involve themselves, even if Li Er had doubts, that was fine.In short, there will be no conclusive evidence, and Li Er has nothing to do with them.

But if things really come to light, their painstaking planning has been in vain, and those golden gold will still have to be paid for. This is what the family is most worried about.

That night, in the city of Chang'an, how many people had no intention of sleeping, and were waiting for news from the Taiji Palace after dawn the next day...
