Eunuch Yuan told Zhao Yuanzheng not to reveal the fact that Queen Song was pregnant, otherwise the whole family would be exterminated. Zhao Yuanzheng was so scared that his legs went weak. If Eunuch Yuan had not helped him in time, Zhao Yuanzheng would have collapsed to the ground.
It was a great joyous event that the empress was pregnant. The emperor's face turned gloomy, and Eunuch Yuan winked at him and issued a gag order. How could Zhao Yuanzheng not know what had happened?
Fortunately, he is loyal to the emperor, otherwise he would most likely not be able to leave the imperial study today.
Eunuch Yuan escorted Zhao Yuanzheng out of the imperial study, and then ordered the guards and eunuchs guarding outside the imperial study to step back thirty steps.
The soundproofing of the imperial study isn't that good. If you get too close, you might hear something.
The guards all found it strange, but since Eunuch Yuan had spoken, they dared not disobey and they all retreated thirty steps away.
When Eunuch Yuan returned to the imperial study, he saw from a distance that the emperor had pulled Queen Song up from the small couch, "Who is the adulterer?!"
Queen Song was so weak that she could not even stand. She knew she was doomed. She was glad that she knew the Queen Mother well and was on guard against her. She had let Xie Jingyin leave the capital when Prince Cheng's concubine became pregnant.
Queen Song raised her head and looked at the emperor, "I will not tell your majesty whose child I am carrying. If your majesty wants to kill me, then do it!"
The emperor was so angry that veins popped out on his forehead.
He swung his hand and threw Queen Song to the ground. The itchiness of the rash, the fear of certain death, and the pain from being thrown made Queen Song curl up in pain.
The emperor wished he could order Queen Song to be beaten to death on the spot.
The emperor grabbed Queen Song's neck, making her face turn blue. Just as she was about to die, Xie Jingyan said, "Killing her like this is too easy for her. She still has some use."
The emperor was so angry that he almost lost all his reason.
No man can tolerate being cuckolded.
Especially after what happened with Concubine Chen, the Emperor could not tolerate this matter any more.
Eunuch Yuan quickly advised the emperor, "Your Majesty, calm down. Now that the queen is dead, the adulterer will not be found."
The word "adulterer" brought back some of the emperor's sanity, but only a little. "Send this bitch to the cold palace!"
It's easy to be banished to the cold palace, but——
Eunuch Yuan asked, "What's the reason?"
Queen Song is the queen after all, and there needs to be a reasonable reason to banish her to the cold palace.
The emperor was so angry that he wanted to kill someone, but he still asked him to find an excuse. Xie Jingyan said, "The queen went insane and stabbed the emperor with a golden hairpin. The emperor ordered the queen to be banished to the cold palace and the left prime minister and his entire family to be imprisoned."
This is a good reason.
The crime of regicide was so serious that no one dared to plead for the Queen and the Left Prime Minister.
Eunuch Yuan hurried out, called two guards, and dragged the collapsed Queen Song to the cold palace.
After everyone left, the emperor looked at Xie Jingyan, his face full of anger and asked, "You knew about this a long time ago?"
Xie Jingyan said, "On the day when the results of the Autumn Examination were announced, the Queen's personal maid went out of the palace to buy abortion pills. The princess's maid thought the Queen was going to harm someone again, so she replaced the abortion pills with pregnancy-preserving pills. The Queen must have guessed that she was pregnant, and since she couldn't frame her father, she had no choice but to have an abortion. After taking the pills, there was no reaction, so she thought she guessed wrong, and dared to summon the imperial physician for consultation. This is why Imperial Physician He died in the Imperial Garden yesterday."
"I can't guarantee that my guess is correct. The queen can only poison her and then ask the imperial physician to check her pulse. She would never dare to let the imperial physician check her pulse in front of her father, which shows that my guess is correct."
The emperor knew that his son was smart, but no matter how smart he was, he could not suspect that the queen had an affair and was pregnant just based on a dose of abortion medicine and the death of Doctor He.
The emperor asked, "Who is the adulterer?"
The emperor was certain that Xie Jingyan knew.
Xie Jingyan did know.
It is said that if you catch a couple cheating, you should catch both of them; if you catch a thief, you should seize the stolen goods. The Queen Mother already knows about the affair between Prince Cheng and Queen Song. With the Queen Mother watching over them, Prince Cheng and Queen Song would never dare to do anything improper again.
But unexpectedly, Princess Cheng was so virtuous that she was afraid that King Cheng would have no descendants, so she asked Doctor Tao to cure King Cheng's hidden illness, and he actually cured it.
Although the two men were not caught on the spot, Queen Song had irrefutable evidence that could kill her and King Cheng.
Xie Jingyan looked at the emperor and said, "If I tell you who the adulterer is, will you believe me, father?"
"Father, you should interrogate the Queen yourself!"
After saying that, Xie Jingyan walked away.
After walking two steps, Xie Jingyan stopped again, looked at Eunuch Yuan and said, "The Queen Mother will not believe that the Queen would kill my father, and will definitely ask Eunuch Yuan for questioning. Eunuch Yuan can tell the Queen Mother the truth, but remember not to mention me. Tell the Queen Mother one more thing, that my father will not kill the Queen before finding out who the adulterer is."
"Remember to send someone to guard the cold palace, and don't let the queen be silenced."
After saying these two sentences, Xie Jingyan walked away.
Looking at Xie Jingyan's leaving back, Eunuch Yuan felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.
It seemed like there was nothing that Prince Ling didn't know.
He specifically mentioned the Queen Mother...
There must be a deeper meaning.
Eunuch Yuan couldn't understand why Queen Song, who was already the queen, could not think straight and had an affair with someone. The emperor hadn't been to her bedroom for such a long time, yet she dared to do such dirty things with someone and not take contraceptives. She even wanted to put the blame on the emperor. When he thought of the two children born to Queen Song, Eunuch Yuan felt that the emperor was cheated even more.
Seeing the emperor's angry look, Eunuch Yuan didn't dare to say a word of advice.
As for Shen Wan, she took a short rest after lunch before falling asleep. She was sleeping soundly when Yin Shuang woke her up, "Princess, wake up quickly, there is good news..."
Shen Wan was sleepy and muttered, "What good news? Can't you wait until I wake up to tell me?"
She wanted to, but she couldn't help it.
Yin Shuang said, "The queen went insane, stabbed the emperor, and was banished to the cold palace."
With a start, Shen Wan's sleepiness disappeared in an instant.
Her voice suddenly rose, "The queen was banished to the cold palace?"
Yin Shuang nodded repeatedly, "Even the Left Prime Minister's Mansion was implicated and was sent to the death row of the Ministry of Justice."
Shen Wanren was still confused.
Queen Song assassinated the emperor?
"Has she gone insane?" Shen Wan asked.
"..."
The corner of Yin Shuang's mouth twitched.
It turned out that the princess only heard that the queen was banished to the cold palace, and did not hear the first two sentences.
Yin Shuang said, "The Queen must have gone insane, which is why she hurt the Emperor and was banished to the cold palace."
Shen Wan looked at Yin Shuang.
This reason——
She didn't believe it.
When Queen Song was banished to the cold palace, Xie Jingyan was already in the palace, and he knew that Imperial Physician He was murdered. It must be related to him that Queen Song was banished to the cold palace.
When Xie Jingyan came back, Shen Wan asked, "Why was the queen banished to the cold palace?"
Xie Jingyan would not tell others, but he would not hide it from Shen Wan, "The queen is pregnant..."
How could a woman who was pregnant be banished to the cold palace?
He will only be praised as a genius, right?
and many more!
Thinking of Queen Song buying abortion pills, Shen Wan's eyes widened and her voice floated, "Isn't the baby father's?"
"Ah."
"..."
