The identity of the direct son - Xu I's prosperous world

Wang Hanqing saluted the emperor respectfully and politely. He used to rely on himself to serve the emperor's biological mother. Later, the emperor promoted him to a high position. He was also domineering. Even in front of the emperor, although he was respectful, he did not There are not many rules.

But ever since he was sent to a remote place by the emperor, he understood that the emperor was not as nostalgic as he thought. Besides, he is not young now, and if he doesn't try his best to please the emperor, he will be nothing for the rest of his life Count on it.

Therefore, he is extremely respectful and pious at this time.

The emperor flattened him calmly, and asked again, "What's the matter?"

Wang Hanqing got up, but now he knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, this slave is guilty."

The emperor froze for a moment, but his expression remained unchanged, "Speak."

The emperor has always been indifferent, which made Wang Hanqing feel a little worried, but he had planned this matter for a long time, so naturally he would not go wrong, kneeling on the ground and said, "I went to Lantai Pavilion to borrow books for Lin Meiren a while ago, and I happened to meet The green screen female officer at the concubine Xian saw that she was returning the book. The servant saw that she had been waiting for the servant to borrow the book before leaving, so she was puzzled, and then went to see what book she returned. Cheng thought that one of the books was mixed with very little fine powder, which looked like lime. The servant felt strange in his heart, so he borrowed this book back to Lin Meiren to read. The servant is from Shuzhou. He was brought into the capital as a captive, and later castrated into the palace as a servant. At that time, the servant was only seven or eight years old, but the servant still remembered that the servant was seriously ill when he was young because he accidentally ate mushrooms with lime powder, and he was almost unable to be rescued. The situation at that time was quite similar to that of His Highness the Crown Prince a while ago. Therefore, when the servant saw the lime powder in this book, he couldn't help but think of the Crown Prince. Although this is just a wild guess, the servant is also trying to protect His Highness the Crown Prince. I still hope that the emperor will learn from you."

After listening to the emperor, he didn't say a word, but his whole body became cold.

Wang Hanqing knelt there anxiously, seeing that the emperor didn't say anything, then continued tremblingly, "The maidservant knows that the concubine's natal family is the Jifu, and the emperor often calls the mistress of the Jifu into the palace to take care of His Royal Highness, and His Royal Highness Seriously ill, Master Xiao Ji returned to Beijing, and has been accompanying him to take care of him. It is conceivable that His Highness the Crown Prince must have a deep relationship with Ji's Mansion, and the virtuous concubine will not harm His Highness the Crown Prince. This is just the conjecture of the servant girl. There is no real evidence, so I came to report this matter to the emperor, suspected of slandering the virtuous concubine, the slaves were terrified, just for the safety of His Royal Highness, fearing that he would get sick again, so they risked their lives to report, and hoped that the emperor would forgive him. .”

The emperor took a deep breath and said, "I understand. I will ask someone to investigate. If there is such a thing, I will reward you. If there is no such thing, I will punish you. Go down."

Wang Hanqing saluted, but seemed to be very frightened, and slowly backed away.

After Wang Hanqing left, Yang Qier clamored for his father, so the female officer had to hug him and ask for instructions at the door, the emperor agreed, and the female officer carried Yang Qier into the room and gave Yang Qier to the emperor.

The emperor looked at his son who had regained some health, and thought that the concubine Xian might have harmed him, his eyes darkened to the bottom.

A few days later, such a purposeful and thorough investigation quickly found clues about Concubine Xian.

At that time, because Concubine Xian missed the eldest prince, the emperor had allowed her to go out of the palace to pay homage at Zhenguo Temple. She thought that she would be able to get the white wall moss that was not poison but was poison. The emperor didn't want them to come to see Yang Qi'er, and he didn't accept their gifts, but they still sent things.

It's not that the wet nurse Rong has never received visits and inquiries from the concubines in the harem. If Rong eats something from them, it can be passed on to Yang Qi'er through milk.

When Yang Qi'er first fell ill, she was really frightened, and it took a few days for her to become seriously ill. It is also possible that she was poisoned later.

As long as there is such a speculation, it will be easy to find out the evidence.

Duanyang Palace was surrounded by guards, and when Liu Sheng led people to control Duanyang Palace, Concubine Xian was reading a book.

Luping was very annoyed and said, "Do you have an imperial decree, why are you so bold and trespassing on Duanyang Palace like this?"

Liu Sheng was more polite, "I have already found out the evidence that the concubine Xian murdered the prince, here is the emperor's handwriting, just read it if you want."

After finishing speaking, he ordered people to restrain Concubine Xian, and then said to her, "Mother, our family really can't think of it anyway. You are so good, why did you murder the prince?"

Concubine Xian's face turned red, "Eunuch Liu, what are you talking about, I murdered the prince? Why did I do this kind of thing? You are trying to commit a crime. Seeing that the Ji family is about to collapse, you just bullied me like this Is it on the head of the palace?"

The concubine Xian stood up and faced Liu Sheng with an imposing manner. If Liu Sheng had not obtained [-]% evidence, otherwise she would not have believed that this gentle and virtuous concubine would really murder the prince.

Liu Sheng's expression was calm, his movements were calm, and he was not suppressed by the concubine Xian's scolding. He stared at the concubine Xian and said, "Ma'am, it's useless for you to defend yourself in front of our family. Let the emperor speak."

Concubine Xian was directly imprisoned in the Leng Palace. At this time, all the palaces dispatched people to quietly inquire about the news, but they did not dare to come forward, fearing that they would be implicated too.

The crimes of concubines in the palace have always been verified and determined by the emperor's empress dowager, but now there is neither a queen dowager nor a queen in the palace, and even the dowager has been sent away. The virtuous concubine is the most noble concubine, so naturally the emperor personally Go out and try her.

The emperor went to Lenggong that night, thinking of her murdering Yang Qier so viciously, even though the emperor thought she was Ji Heng's sister and gave her some respect before, but at this moment, only loathing was left for her.

The palace man brought a chair for the emperor to sit down, and the concubine Xian was scolded and knelt down. The concubine Xian knelt there, looked up at the emperor with a frosty face, her eyes were already filled with tears, "Your majesty, my concubine was forced to Slanderous. There is no reason why the concubine wanted to harm the prince."

The emperor sneered and said, "Speaking of which, I don't believe that you were the one who wanted to murder Qi'er. However, everyone around you recruited them. When you arrived at Zhenguo Temple, the amulet that Luping took from the little monk What exactly is in it? Hmm? The red ginseng and black chicken soup that you sent someone to Rong said it could replenish milk, and the amount of medicine in it was small, so Rong was fine after taking it, but Qi'er became seriously ill after drinking the milk , Don’t you think about this matter in your heart? It’s too late to pretend to be pitiful in front of me now!”

Concubine Xian just refused to admit it, but when the young monk who was supposed to be disposed of was brought to Concubine Xian, Concubine Xian had to open her eyes wide, and the emperor said, "I don't know why you have murdered me. Qi'er's thoughts, but the person you want to deal with is not dead, so it can be seen that you have only been a praying mantis in front of the oriole this time."

Concubine Xian had to cry and said, "Your Majesty, my concubine dreamed of Xi'er every night a while ago. He said that he was too lonely in the ground, and that he died so pitifully. He was killed by his biological father." Dead. Why, why did you treat Xi'er like that for a monster's child."

Hearing her talking crazy, the emperor dismissed other people in the room, even Liu Sheng was dismissed.The guards were a little hesitant, fearing that Concubine Xian would be unfavorable to the emperor, but the emperor also waved them out.

The emperor said coldly, "What are you talking about? I murdered Xi'er? And who is the monster?"

Concubine Xian raised her head and stared at the emperor resentfully, "Didn't you murder Xi'er, Your Majesty? Xi'er just got a few mouth sores from a fire, and it was about to be healed, but she suddenly said no If it is gone, it will be gone. Could it be that you did it? It’s just a son born for that monster. Since Xi’er is gone, he deserves to suffer what Xi’er suffered. He festered and died. Then you and the emperor That monster also felt the pain of losing a beloved son."

Concubine Xian, who was always dignified and beautiful, uttered such vicious words, her entire face twisted, and the emperor looked at her with a frown, "Who told you about Qi'er's birth?"

Concubine Xian knew that she might have no way out. When she thought of murdering Yang Qi'er, she knew that this day might come, but she felt that she would not regret it.Ever since she knew that the emperor could kill even her own flesh and blood, she had completely lost her heart for the emperor. So what's the point of living in a deserted palace like a puppet? It's better to avenge Xi'er .

But she was still afraid of hurting the fourth aunt, so she said, "Why don't I know that Ji Heng is a monster. When he was born, people in the house knew that his father never recognized him as a son, otherwise how could he be allowed to live in Yangzhou?" He didn't come to the capital until he was seven or eight years old. He wouldn't have taken him to the capital at first, but it was because an uncle in the clan wanted to adopt his son to his father as his heir, and his father didn't want to give the family business to an outsider. That's why I took Ji Heng, a monster, into Beijing."

Speaking of this, she looked at the emperor pitifully again, "Your Majesty, don't be fooled by Ji Heng, what's so good about him, he's just a monster."

The emperor felt very uncomfortable when he heard her keep calling Ji Heng a monster, and he said directly, "Shut up. Junqing is not a monster. He has a disability, and he has been pitiful since he was a child. As his sister, you don't cherish your younger brother, but you keep saying so Slandering him, it can be seen that you have no kind heart at all, and no brotherhood. You are such a vicious woman, it is really thanks to Junqing for planning for you many times."

Concubine Xian laughed frantically, tears flowed from her laughter, "Yes. I am a vicious woman, and my words are slander. Ji Heng is good in everything, and I am bad in everything. Your Majesty, when I entered the palace, I also looked forward to your luck every day, and I was happy because you smiled at me. If you let me die, I will definitely have no complaints, and I am willing to go through fire and water. It is because of Ji Heng , you never wanted to touch me, I was a joke in the palace. After having Xi'er, I also had hope, and felt that even if I was your sister for the rest of my life, I would have hope in my life, but why did you do it for me? The child in Ji Heng's belly treats my Xi'er like that. Your Majesty, I hate it. Do you think I can't hate it."

The emperor was not moved by her words, but said, "At the time of the draft, the palace would not have kept you, but you told the queen that the Ji family has a strict family tradition, and there will be no such thing as siblings working together as one husband. Gong, Ji Heng will definitely not have anything to do with me in the future, so the queen will keep you in the palace. When I find out about this later, I should get rid of you."

Concubine Xian had a sarcastic smile on her face, but she was mocking herself, saying, "This is the concubine who is destined to lose to Ji Heng. The concubine knows that she can't compete, so do whatever the emperor wants. But after the concubine dies, I implore the emperor to remember to burn some paper money and clothes for Xi'er on the anniversary of his death."

The emperor sneered directly, "You keep dreaming about Xi'er, but I don't believe that he will go into your dreams. It's just your own guilty conscience. Since you miss Xi'er so much, then go and accompany him."

The emperor got up and went out, walked two steps and stopped, turned back to look at the dumbfounded concubine Xian, "I never thought that Jun Qing was a monster, he was able to give birth to me because of the pity of heaven for me. You Nothing can compare to him, you just live your own life, but you want to compare yourself with him. You are not greedy enough. I will not tolerate anyone who has harmed Qi'er, so go on your way. "

The emperor went out, and in September, the weather was already cold, especially at night, it was even more chilly, the emperor gathered his cloak, Liu Sheng brought some eunuchs into the room, he heard Concubine Xian laughed a few more times, and then her voice was suddenly cut off in Night Breeze.

After a while, Liu Sheng came out and reported to the emperor, "Your Majesty, Concubine Xian has gone."

The emperor looked up at the dark night sky, not only hated Concubine Xian in his heart, but also felt like a dream.

He still remembered that she appeared by Ji Heng's side in Ji's mansion.

If she hadn't entered the palace, everything would have been better.

The emperor asked again, "How is Wang Hanqing?"
