The baby-making system is unreliable

As soon as these words came out, the officials present were suddenly hit hard. They didn't expect that the adopted daughter of the Queen Mother, Yun Xirou, was actually a princess of the previous dynasty? !

"Oh!? Tell me, what evidence do you have to prove that my 'adopted sister' is a princess from the previous dynasty?! Slandering my sister is a serious crime!"

At this moment, the rest of the officials were silent. They looked at each other, all of them were shocked and dared not say much.

"I have the portrait of Empress Ping as evidence. I also found the midwife who gave birth to the baby. She said that the baby girl had a mole on her shoulder. Your Majesty, please issue an order to execute Yun Xirou!!"

After saying that, Lin Yichen knelt on the ground without hesitation and kowtowed hard, making a "bang bang" sound every time.

He seemed to have no regard for the fact that he was old and frail, and his forehead kept hitting the ground.

"..."

He knew better than anyone whether Yun Xirou had any moles on her body, and he could always see them every time.

Cough cough cough...

Xiao Zixu's eyes also became deep, as if he was thinking about something. According to his understanding, Zuo Xiang was not a die-hard person, nor was he a nosy person.

Unless... someone threatens his wife and children, or it is related to power, but... he is not a good person! ! ! If someone makes trouble, he will definitely not let it go easily.

"..."

Hu Yanjie was watching this scene with great interest, as if waiting for Xiao Zixu's answer.

The two sides were in a stalemate, and at this moment, a clear voice rang out, interrupting their stalemate.

"Brother, I'm here, don't worry."

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Yun Xirou and Xiao He, the master and servant walking slowly towards them. Her beauty was like the stars in the night sky, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

When Xiao Zixu saw Yun Yurou coming in, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly returned to normal. He stood up and introduced, "This is my adopted sister."

Hu Yanjie looked at Yun Xirou with a glimmer of greed in his eyes. He smiled and said, "Girl, you are a princess from the previous dynasty!!"

Yun Yurou smiled slightly and saluted Hu Yanjie. However, she felt a strange feeling in her heart. This Prince Beisheng gave her a sense of danger.

Xiao Zixu pulled Yun Xirou to sit next to him, protecting her body and blocking Hu Yanjie's sight. He also noticed that her hands were trembling a little. Thinking she was afraid, he held her hand and secretly comforted her.

Yun Xirou nodded to Xiao Zixu. Everything was under control. Li'er and the person behind her had been captured.

During their banquet, the situation outside was extremely tense and lively.

In the palace, we caught quite a few sewer rats. It was really exciting.

Yun Yurou didn't come to the party, but she went there to wait for them! ? As expected, they were not disappointed, and they caught many people and discovered many secrets.

"Lord Zuo Xiang, this princess is indeed a princess of the previous dynasty, but... today, this princess has something to say, how about asking you to be witnesses?!"

At this moment, she no longer looked innocent, and her mood seemed to have changed. Xiao Zixu smiled and nodded, but he was also a little curious. Could it be that she met someone else?

"Your Majesty, she has admitted it! Your Majesty! Please deal with this woman quickly!! You...you...how can you say such a thing as a matter of course?"

"His Majesty……"

Ren Zuoxiang's words were heartbreaking. Xiao Zixu had no time to pay attention to him, and his eyes wandered over Yun Xirou.

This figure, this appearance, thinking of her in my arms, my heart was moved and I wanted to hold her in my arms and do bad things to her.

"Lord Zuo Xiang, don't be impatient. You want to confront me?! I'd like you to meet a few people!!!"

"His Majesty!"

Things have come to this point, and the Left Prime Minister still doesn't know what's good for him at his age. Xiao Zixu got a little angry. He withdrew his gaze from someone, and instantly changed his expression, angrily scolding the Left Prime Minister.

"Enough! Left Prime Minister, considering your advanced age, if you tell the truth, I can save the lives of your wife and children. This is my final concession!!"

When the emperor is angry, everyone is afraid.

Xiao Zixu's momentum, serious and sharp eyes, and gloomy gaze at this moment made people think of him when there was a palace coup that day, when he was covered in blood and killed people like Yama.

Perhaps it was because Xiao Zixu's actions since he ascended the throne had been too peaceful, causing them to forget for a moment that this majesty would kill people without blinking an eye.

"Prince Beisheng Huyan's affairs are related to the past dynasties. You shouldn't have been involved, but... I guess you have done a lot of business with Yun Yize!"

Hu Yanjie was stunned, feeling a little flustered for a moment, holding the cup tightly in his hand. He didn't know how much he had found out, and he also felt a little evasive at this moment.

"Since this is an internal affair...why not..."

"In that case, there's no need to avoid him. Let's go and see him!"

Before he could find an excuse, Xiao Zixu took the initiative, pinned Hu Yanjie to his position, and gave an order.

"Sister Rou'er, why don't you tell me what you want to testify to?"

After Xiao Zixu finished speaking, she immediately called a bunch of people in: "Come here, bring them all up!!"

Five people were escorted into the hall one after another, two of them were covered in blood, which stunned everyone.

"Let's talk now. There's no hurry. Although it's late, the night is beautiful. There's plenty of time!"

Yun Xirou said as she glanced at the people around her bit by bit. At this moment, Xiao Zixu was watching the little cat with its claws exposed, smiling and jokingly watching the show.

"Why... did you kidnap the old minister's wife and children?!"

When Lin Yichen saw that his wife and children were also there, he spoke timidly but did not dare to look them directly.

"You are talking nonsense! You bastard, my son and I almost died at the hands of others, and you reacted like this!!"

The wife of the Left Prime Minister had never expected that he would actually turn the tables on her. She felt helpless and sad, and felt that all the years of marital friendship had been wasted!

"Who said you are a good official who doesn't cause trouble? Haha..."

"You shrew! Stop talking nonsense!"

Unexpectedly, the most excited person was the fourth prince of the late emperor, Yun Yize! !

"Don't be anxious, brother. Why are you more anxious than me?! You have to be patient when listening to a story. I'm not anxious, so why are you anxious?!"

Yun Xirou narrowed her eyes and looked at him coldly. At this moment, she was inexplicably similar to Xiao Zixu who was sitting next to her. She was intimidating without even getting angry.

He was stunned for a moment, listening to the wife of the Left Prime Minister telling a story about the past twenty or thirty years ago.

Thinking back to the past, the late emperor was confused and tyrannical, indulging in wine and women, and often kept his ministers in the palace while ignoring worldly affairs. That minister would have to wait for days and nights before having the chance to see the late emperor.

Lin Yichen was one of them back then, but unexpectedly he met that man, his childhood sweetheart, and was forcibly abducted into the palace.

As for who this person is, it is not difficult to guess. It is Concubine He, the biological mother of the fourth prince of the previous dynasty.

The two of them already had feelings for each other, not to mention that they were forced into the palace, which they didn't like. The previous emperor had many concubines, and he had long forgotten how many women there were.

Don't forget about Concubine He. She is not favored and the palace is lonely. After a while, old feelings will rekindle.

Back then, Concubine He was already dissatisfied and had never tried to please the late emperor, but there was a period of time when she was particularly active.

Not long after, the fourth prince, Yun Yize, was born unexpectedly. He was only eight months old. This fourth prince must be the son of the Left Prime Minister!

The wife of the Left Prime Minister told everything, hugged her young son and cried, she was in great pain for a while.

"You are talking nonsense! You are talking nonsense! You shrew, what is your intention in slandering and spreading rumors about the late emperor's heir?! Come! Take this shrew away!!"

Yun Yize couldn't believe it and shouted like crazy, but unfortunately Xiao Zixu was there, so no one dared to say a word, and no one listened to him.

In a frenzy, he fiercely pulled the left prime minister's clothes and demanded, "Speak! Are you mute?"

"Because he has nothing to say!? That's the truth!"

After hearing this, Yun Yize noticed that the bloody person next to him looked somewhat familiar.

"You traitor, you actually betrayed me! I... I am a prince!"

Yun Yize looked as if he was a little crazy. Zuo Xiang closed his eyes helplessly and shook his head silently.

I'm afraid it's useless! This kid can't beat the two of them, he's totally no match.

"I, Li'er, once served the late emperor, so... so... Your Highness, no?! When Yun Yize found me, I agreed to be his insider."

Li'er now had new wounds on his body, which came from Yun Yize's finishing blow.

"I was bewitched for a moment, so I helped him spy on the princess and pass on messages."

Li'er's voice became softer and softer, and she even felt more convinced.

"..."

"Humph! That makes sense, but... you did hide something!"

Yun Yirou sat at the top, sitting next to His Majesty, tapping the cup gently, and said coldly: "You are quite ambitious! You put your hopes on him, but he just keeps you hanging, and he won't take responsibility even if you lose your virginity!"

Li'er's body trembled, and he lowered his head to the ground, not daring to get up for a while.

Xiao Zixu raised his eyebrows and looked at her lightly, frowning slightly. Looking at her, he felt that she had learned bad things! ? He could say such things directly, but...it was time for him to take responsibility!

"Princess, you are right. I was blind. I never thought that he would want to take my life!!"

Just now, during the banquet, under the guidance of Li'er, Yun Xirou and her men blocked Yun Yize's men in the secret passage and captured them directly!

Xiao Zixu pushed him at the right time, without even looking at him, and asked directly: "Do you have any evidence?!"

"I found a brocade handkerchief with the words 'Yi Chen' embroidered on it in Concubine He's room. Your Majesty, please take a look at it."

Li'er presented the embroidered handkerchief respectfully. When the eunuch took it, she looked it over and nodded.

"It is indeed the name of the Left Prime Minister. If this is not enough to prove it, I think we can use blood tests to prove our relationship!"

After hearing these four words, Yun Yize still didn't have the courage, and Zuo Xiang's attitude represented everything.

"Even so, Your Majesty! What does this have to do with the princess of the previous dynasty?! The princess is the blood of the late emperor, isn't that enough to be put to death!!"

Zuo Xiang had risked everything, and was determined to fight to the death. His thoughts suddenly became clearer.

"..."

He is indeed an old fox, worthy of being a veteran who has been in the officialdom for so many years.

"Then, Lord Left Prime Minister, this is equivalent to admitting guilt. Very good! This is one thing, and there is another... the story is not over yet?!"

Yun Xirou's expression was unusually calm. She raised her head slightly and looked at Zuo Xiang without any fear in her eyes.

"Li'er, tell me, what did you and him say behind the rockery that day when the Queen Mother recognized me as her daughter?!"

"..."

That’s right, the two people that day were her and Yun Yize.

He said, "How come Yun Yurou is not dead yet? She is still alive."

"This is weird! If I'm a princess, why is there no trace of my existence in the previous dynasty?! I'd like to hear why... this 'brother' would say why I'm not dead yet?! And who is my biological mother?!"

Yun Xirou finally said what she wanted to say, she narrowed her eyes, her momentum was no less impressive.

Xiao Zixu, who was standing aside, watched the show quietly and waited for a long time before finally hearing what he wanted to hear.

"I think no one knows the reason better than Nanny Li! Why don't you tell the truth?"

Nanny Li's eyes were empty and her whole appearance had changed. She was also covered in blood and wounds. She had encountered many assassinations in the past few days!

Even her husband, who was also a human trafficker, died. She watched him die with her own eyes.

"The princess's biological mother was the Empress Dowager's younger sister, Shangguan Ping. She died while giving birth to the princess. Everyone knows that there were two deaths, but the late emperor hid the truth from the world! Empress Ping was murdered and had a hemorrhage!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone dug out the incident from their chaotic memories.

That year, Concubine Ping did die of complications during childbirth. Later, rumors spread that there were two lives lost, which shocked everyone for a while.

Yun Xirou felt nervous when she heard this. It turned out that she was really murdered by someone, after all, she was her biological mother.

Xiao Zixu patted her hand along his sleeve to comfort her.

"Then, the late emperor hated his daughter for killing Concubine Ping and wanted to kill the princess. I thought that Concubine Ping's mother's family was also a noble family, and the Queen Mother was also a Marquise at the time, so I could gain benefits from it, so I secretly raised her in the secret room of the palace."

Nanny Li told the story of her past in one breath, leaving everyone speechless for a moment, not knowing what to think.

"It's just that the empress's palace was in chaos, and she sent messages several times but failed. She didn't dare to mention the princess' identity for fear of attracting a murderous disaster, so she was kept until the palace coup and never revealed to the world."

When Empress Ping suffered from hemorrhage that year, she, as a maid who boiled water, happened to discover the clues. However, all the midwives who delivered the baby were executed, and Nanny Li did not dare to mention the matter.

"Madame Li, please tell me what's going on!? Who murdered my mother?!"

Yun Xirou's eyes also turned red, her nose felt sore, and tears flowed.

Xiao Zixu reached out to wipe her tears, feeling a little sorry for the person in front of him.

"The one who harmed Lady Ping was the late Queen. She added something to her labor-inducing medicine. I have seen women giving birth, so I recognize some of the medicine residue."

But back then, the late emperor suppressed it single-handedly. Whether it was intentional or unintentional, it has become a thing of the past and cannot be spoken of.

"Now he has been sent to do hard labor. He is still alive, but he is no longer in good shape. Now he has become an old case."
