[Crossing the Book] The Villain Regent's Substitute Princess

"What murderer! Don't talk nonsense!" In fact, the fake Caiping's words are not without loopholes, for example, if she pretended to be dead, how could no one find her along the way.But the queen mother has already panicked and lost her position, how could she want to get these?

"Back then, you were the one who ordered me to change the incense bag and kill Concubine Lan!"

As soon as she said this, it was like throwing a bomb in the hall, and all the officials changed their colors.

"Stop talking nonsense!" The queen mother's response attitude was to firmly deny it.

"She is talking nonsense?" At this time, Chen Chonglin said coldly, and ordered someone to present a poisonous incense bag and a booklet, "According to the records, Imperial Doctor Zhao died the second day after he diagnosed my mother and concubine. Before he died, I have asked other imperial physicians to see me... I have invited imperial physician Deng."

As soon as Chen Chonglin finished speaking, someone brought in an old man, that is Imperial Physician Deng who had resigned from office for many years.

It was only then that Luo Qiu knew that Chen Chonglin had made complete preparations, had investigated all the relevant matters clearly, and persuaded all the relevant personnel, so he dared to start this big show.

"Physician Deng, tell me and everyone, why did Physician Zhao die?"

"Reporting to the lord," Imperial Physician Deng replied tremblingly, "Emperor Zhao was poisoned at the time. I asked him about his diet at that time. Before he died, he ate the snacks given by the Queen Mother."

"Have you all heard?" Chen Chonglin looked around the group of officials, "Cui Chuchu, this poisonous woman not only killed her mother and concubine, but also killed Imperial Physician Zhao, and forced Imperial Physician Deng to resign and go away... just In order to cover up her crimes, she has killed countless people!"

"I was the one who suffered the worst!" At this moment, False Caiping pointed at the Queen Mother and complained tearfully, "Cui Chuchu, I have served you for so many years since I was a child, but I never imagined that you would be so cruel and determined to put me to death. !!"

"You forced me to do this!"

Up to now, the queen mother can no longer deny it.

"Back then when you suddenly went crazy, didn't I ever think about the possibility that you were pretending to be crazy? I decided to let you go because of our friendship for many years, and let you fend for yourself in the cold palace! Who knew that? After so long, you still come to help others deal with me?! Who is ignoring friendship?!"

"Hahahahaha!"

Fake Caiping laughed wildly.

"Just you poisonous woman, you actually have the nerve to say the word 'friendship' to me?!

Since you can guess what I'm thinking, but you will never make things difficult for me if you tell me a word, why do I have to pretend to be crazy and foolish for so many years in the cold palace? !

You watched me helplessly, from a young girl to a gray-haired old woman abruptly!Do you know how much my life has been worse than death these years? ! "

When Luo Qiuyi heard these words, even though he knew that "Caiping" present was just acting, he couldn't help feeling sad, and felt extremely sympathetic for the tragic life of real Caiping.

"Okay, now that the queen mother has pleaded guilty," Chen Chonglin felt that there was no need to say anything more, "then according to the law of the country, immediately go to death row and await execution!"

"Emperor brother!" The emperor, who had hardly spoken in the early court, finally couldn't help but speak when he heard this sentence, "She is our mother! How can you kill her?!"

"She's my mother's queen?" Chen Chonglin smiled, "She's the murderer of my mother!"

"But, after your concubine's mother died, didn't she treat you well, and raised you up so much?"

"That's really good." Chen Chonglin picked up the two poison incense packets on the table, "One was used by her to kill my mother and concubine, and the other was used by her to ask the concubine to poison me... .Tell me, is she very nice to me?"

"...This...this..." The emperor was sweating coldly, speechless for a while, "But she is the queen mother no matter what! Even if she made a mistake, let her think about it behind closed doors. Is it all right?"

"The so-called son of heaven breaks the law and commits the same crime as the common people! Emperor, even if you and I kill people for no reason, we will still die!"

"The regent's words are wrong!" Wei Ruling stood up, "The emperor is a man of gold, if he killed a commoner, would he have to pay for his life?" After returning yesterday, he had already beaten his second son cruelly. After a pause, it seemed that Chen Chonglin had nothing to do with him for the time being.

Chen Chonglin sneered: "Then what do you mean, because my concubine mother's status is low, I deserve to be killed by Cui Chuchu?"

"I don't mean that..." Wei Ruling wiped off his sweat, "It's just that the queen mother is still the prince's mother in name, and if the prince kills her, it means killing the mother with the son!"

"I think Master Wei is right," another old minister stepped forward, "You can't execute your mother queen!"

"My minister agrees!"

"The minister also agrees."

There was a sound of seconding in the hall.

Luo Qiuyi gritted his teeth secretly.These guys are really tricky.

But it's no wonder.In feudal society, filial piety was very important, even a bit stupid. In history, it was rare for an emperor to execute the empress dowager.

"My king has made up his mind. Come here, and put him in death row!" Chen Chonglin waved his hand, and the queen mother was pulled down.

"My lord, you can't just go your own way!" Wei Ruling knelt down, "If you insist on doing this, I will never be able to kneel!"

"The ministers can't afford to kneel!"

Another group of ministers knelt down.

"If you like to kneel, kneel. Retreat." Chen Chonglin ignored them at all, and after saying the word "retreat", he got up and left.

Luo Qiuyi followed him back to the palace.

Chen Chonglin didn't change his face in the morning, as if he was unmoved at all, but when he returned to his own space, he couldn't help frowning.

"Chonglin..." Luo Qiu stepped forward and shook his hand.He didn't know what else he could do for Chen Chonglin at this time, all he could do was accompany him.

"Qiu Yi, do you think it's really wrong for me to do this?" Chen Chonglin was uncommonly shaken by his claim.

"There is nothing wrong with you." Luo Qiu replied without hesitation, "What's wrong with avenging your mother? Why can't you kill the queen mother?"

"...Qiuyi, I didn't expect you to think so. It's nice to have you by my side." Chen Chonglin smiled at Luo Qiuyi, "Actually, before I had you, I didn't care about anything... just Now, I am afraid that my actions will destroy the peaceful life you yearn for..." "My lord," at this moment, Murong Chi came in to report, "King De begs to see you."

"...!" Both Chen Chonglin and Luo Qiuyi were taken aback __Chen Zonghua never got involved in these things.

"Let him come in." Chen Chonglin ordered Murong Chi, and then looked at Luo Qiuyi, "Qiu Yi, this man has a little friendship with you, so you can go see him with me."

"it is good."

The two then came to the hall together.

Chen Zonghua was already waiting there.

He glanced at the vase that was in good condition in the hall, "You all owe me a favor, don't you?"

"..." Luo Qiuyi felt a little amused in his heart—this man is really bold in speaking, why does he owe him a favour?

"So," Chen Chonglin said lightly, "Do you think I will let your mother go because of this? Do you think this favor is that big?"

"Of course I know, you won't let her go for this reason...Brother Emperor, let me tell you something else."

Chen Zonghua sat down on a chair without waiting for Chen Chonglin to give him a seat.

"Didn't you just propose the imperial examination a few days ago? I think it's a good idea, but do you know how many officials' interests have been violated by it? And now you want to kill your mother, because you think that those who oppose you in the court are still Not enough?"

"I didn't expect you to care about these things." Chen Chonglin also sat down.

"Do you really think that I don't know what's going on outside the window? Brother Dahuang, let me tell you, there are some things that I, Chen Zonghua, were really not interested in before...but it doesn't mean that I don't have this ability."

Chen Chonglin has already heard the threat in Chen Zonghua's words very clearly. If he insists on killing the queen mother, maybe he will also participate in this political struggle.

In fact, today's son has a cowardly temperament, which gave Chen Chonglin the opportunity to firmly control him; but Chen Zonghua is different, in terms of character and ability, he is actually very outstanding, and has the status of a legitimate son, so if he really wants to participate , would be a big threat to Chen Chonglin.

but……

"Soldiers come to block, water comes to cover. This king has nothing to fear."

"His Royal Highness," Luo Qiuyi suddenly interjected, "I'm sure you're not mistaken, you are a person who attaches great importance to family affection... But, please think about my husband! He has been dependent on his mother since he was a child , I just wanted to live a peaceful life, but your mother killed her innocently! If you were him, wouldn’t you take revenge at all costs?! You are born of the same root, and you can understand each other instinctively. Why do you want to kill each other like this?!"

"...time, Chen Zonghua remained silent.

"Maybe, you and Chong Lin are destined to have no mother in the future... But you still have each other! Since you both value family, can't you be a good pair of brothers?"

"Brother?" The corner of Chen Zonghua's mouth raised a wry smile, "The Tian family has no father and son, no brothers... This is the end of the matter, why is the princess still talking about this?"

"That's right, we are doomed to have an undying hatred..." Chen Chonglin stared at the third brother with complicated eyes, "It's also my fault that I never thought of being a good brother to you before. Today's autumn is so After talking about it, I realized that maybe we are really the same people.”

"...what I have to say is finished. I'm going."

As soon as Chen Zonghua finished speaking, he got up and left.

"..." Chen Chonglin watched his back gradually go away, without saying a word.

Luo Qiuyi's heart ached.

Is it true that because they are in the royal family, they are destined not to be brothers and sisters?

It is obvious that the instigator is the Queen Mother, why do they have to bear such a bitter fruit for their brothers?

Or maybe, after today's conversation, Chen Zonghua's mind will change?

"Qiu Yi," Chen Chonglin's voice interrupted Luo Qiuyi's thoughts, "I want to go to the death cell to meet the Queen Mother and ask her why she did this. You will come with me, okay?"

"Okay." Luo Qiuyi shook his hand and replied without hesitation.

He had discovered long ago that the Prince Regent, who was usually aloof and tough, was actually very fragile in his bones when it came to his mother.He will also need to rely on.

Luo Qiuyi was very pleased that he could be his reliance.

Let them support each other and add a touch of warmth to this cold deep palace.
