Jing Changji didn't expect that it was Empress Dowager Huo who came, but it's not difficult to understand after thinking about it, now that Huo Xiang is trapped here, and there are so many news in the market, I am afraid that Empress Dowager Huo can't sit still for a long time.

There might have been chaos in the court two days earlier, but Empress Dowager Huo wanted to wait, but she didn't expect that Wei Yin would really not let anyone go.

Jing Changji was worried about going to see Wei Yin. After all, the Queen Mother was his grandmother, but in the same way, when Emperor Cheng Zhao was killed by Emperor Chengxian, it is impossible for Queen Mother Huo to really know nothing about it, but the Queen Mother concealed it for a son. thing.

Regardless of the reason, it was unfair to Emperor Cheng Zhao and cruel to Wei Yin.

Wei Yin squeezed his hand lightly under the cover of the wide sleeves so that he didn't have to worry. He didn't seem to see the expressions of the people in the camp, and said directly to the outside: "The king is very happy today, and the birthday party is not over yet. , first take the queen mother to the side to have a rest, the king will go there with old general Wu later."

Old General Wu was originally worried that Prince Rui would be disgraced, but he was relieved to see that Prince Rui was not affected.

He was the elder of the three dynasties, and he was loyal to the old emperor. Later, the old emperor abdicated the throne to Emperor Cheng Zhao, and he was loyal to Emperor Cheng Zhao.

At that time Emperor Cheng Zhao died, he didn't know that it was Emperor Cheng Xian who killed him, and because of Emperor Cheng Zhao, he was so loyal to Emperor Cheng Xian these years, but Emperor Cheng Xian was the one who killed Emperor Cheng Zhao Not to mention the culprit, Queen Mother Huo is also involved, so there is no need to respect it.

What's more, since he is in the team, he will only be loyal to Prince Rui.

Jing Changji and Old General Wu knew the inside story, but the other soldiers didn't, so they were quite surprised, but after thinking about it, they guessed that the prince should be fighting for the late Emperor Cheng Zhao.In addition, the banner they are now playing is to assist the descendants of Emperor Cheng Zhao to succeed to the throne, and the Empress Dowager Huo is on the side of Huo Xiang and the second prince.

Half an hour later, the banquet was finally over, and Wei Yin put Xiao Yiyi into Jing Changji's arms: "Take care of Yi Yi, I will come as soon as I go."

Jing Changji wanted to follow, but thinking about it, Wei Yin might have a lot to say to the Queen Mother, so he finally nodded: "Okay, we will wait for you in the tent."

Wei Yin's brows and eyes softened, and he didn't want to be too intimate outside. He patted his shoulder lightly, then lowered his head and rubbed Xiao Yiyi's little head, and then walked away with Old General Wu.

When the Queen Mother came over, she was not convinced, but Huo Xiang was only here to negotiate. Who knew that Old General Wu would directly detain him. Not only that, but also a lot of unfavorable news spread from the public at the same time.

The Queen Mother has seen the things brought by the people below, most of them don't believe it, but she has no idea in her heart, after all... Emperor Cheng Xian was indeed...

Especially now that she has been left in the cold for so long, the Queen Mother's heart sank more and more. She originally wanted to play the family card.

After all, the old Prince Rui was the old emperor's brother, and after all, she was the one who watched and grew up with Prince Rui.Now that the situation is so chaotic, the only one who can make Old General Wu and the others retreat is Prince Rui.

But those rumors that said that Emperor Cheng Xian killed old Prince Rui, she couldn't believe it, and even hoped that those were all false, otherwise, otherwise... I'm afraid Huo Xiang and the others are really finished.

But she also bet that the emperor she raised would not be so ruthless. Xian'er also said what happened back then, and this result was caused by an accident. He promised himself that he would never kill innocent people indiscriminately because of the throne in the future.

The Empress Dowager thought a lot for a while, until the curtain was lifted, and the tent suddenly became brighter. She raised her head reflexively to see that the visitor was extremely tall, and the person was very tall in a crimson brocade robe.

Because his back was facing the light, he couldn't see his face clearly, but the aura around him was extremely strong, as he stepped in step by step, when Prince Rui's handsome face completely appeared in front of his eyes, wrapped in fine clothes, his eyebrows and eyes disappeared from what he had seen in the past Her unrestrained and uninhibited attitude, her sharp eyes and brows which she pursed her lips indifferently, stunned the Queen Mother for a while.

For some reason, the queen mother always felt that the other party looked very much like Xian'er.

Old General Wu stepped in following Wei Yin, waved his hand, and told the two soldiers in the camp to retreat, not allowing anyone to come in.

When there were only the three of them left in the camp, Old General Wu first glanced at the silent Prince Rui, then at the Queen Mother, and bowed his hands together: "This old minister has seen the Queen Mother."

Wei Yin stood there quietly without speaking, but his eyes fell on the Queen Mother, but his eyes were extremely dull, looking at the Queen Mother like a stranger.

The Empress Dowager was uncomfortable being looked at by him, she didn't see this Prince Rui many times, plus he was ill since childhood, the Emperor later favored him very much.

So he raised his temper and was perverse and disobedient to discipline. He didn't show any courtesy at ordinary times. Except for the important festivals every year, the number of times he saw each other was only a handful.

Wei Yin quickly withdrew his gaze and took a seat next to the Queen Mother. He didn't speak, and Old General Wu could only speak: "Your Majesty is here this time, is there something wrong?"

The Queen Mother saw that he was pretending to be stupid, although she was angry, but now the situation is different, she could only sigh and clarify: "Prince Rui and the old general must have guessed that Ai's family came this time, one is for Prime Minister Huo, and two... Came for the national teacher."

Old General Wu was taken aback, and even Wei Yin raised his eyebrows.

Old General Wu quickly looked at Wei Yin, and then asked the Queen Mother in puzzlement: "Your Majesty, I want to ask Mr. Huo Xiang if you can understand, the national teacher is... We haven't found the national teacher."

The queen mother frowned, thinking that they were hiding it: "Don't hide it from Aijia, Aijia guessed it, and you let people spread the news that you have found the descendants of Emperor Chengzhao, and this time you are also trying to make him succeed He came under the banner. Aijia doesn’t know what method you used to get him to change his name.

But since he personally killed Emperor Chengxian, even though it was to avenge Emperor Chengzhao, but if the fact that he killed his own emperor's uncle was spread, he is not suitable to be the emperor. "

She had thought about it when she came, and she wanted to exchange this secret for Huo Xiang.

It was Emperor Cheng Xian who owed them back then. If they really wanted the national teacher to be the emperor, as long as they didn't object, she would also acquiesce, but Huo Xiang couldn't die...

Old General Wu was even more surprised, but he also understood what the Empress Dowager meant, and his expression became even weirder: "Your Majesty, you mean... the Imperial Teacher is a descendant of Emperor Cheng Zhao?"

"Isn't it? The dagger that the national teacher killed Emperor Chengxian was given to Emperor Chengzhao by the emperor. The Ai family still remembers this dagger." Cheng Zhao was the one who came to kill Emperor Chengxian at all costs to take revenge. As for the relics of the late emperor, all she could guess was that the national teacher was the descendant of the late emperor Cheng Zhao, and now that Old General Wu said they had found the descendant of the late emperor Cheng Zhao, she naturally brought the national teacher in.

Old General Wu finally understood why Huo Xiang dared to come to negotiate. It seems that he also thought that the national teacher was the descendant, so he was so unscrupulous because of his weakness?

Old General Wu's face was even more ugly: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid you misunderstood. The national teacher is the flesh and blood of Emperor Chengxian, and he was also the eldest prince back then. It's just because the queen thought it was a stillborn baby and replaced it."

The queen mother knew about this: "That's just what the outside world said. In fact, with that dagger, it's impossible... Besides, how can someone survive after death?"

Old General Wu smiled, but there was no smile in his eyes: "I'm afraid I don't know that the witch clan has a secret technique that can bring the dead back to life."

The queen mother still didn't believe it. She firmly believed that they refused to admit it because they didn't want to let Huo Xiang go: "The old master was only there in the witch clan, but the old master didn't know how to bring the dead back to life."

Old General Wu: "The old national teacher doesn't know how to do it, but there was another person who knew it in Beijing back then."

The queen mother finally listened to this and frowned: "Who?"

Old General Wu: "The former saint of the witch clan, Cheng Lingfeng, is also the wife of Emperor Cheng Zhao before he returned to Beijing to inherit the throne."

The queen mother suddenly raised her head and looked at him in disbelief: "This..."

"Not only that, when Emperor Cheng Zhao returned to Beijing, Sheng Shengnv was already pregnant. This is what we call the real descendants of Emperor Cheng Zhao. It was only later that Emperor Cheng Zhao was killed by Emperor Chengxian, and Sheng Shengnv came to Beijing to look for her. At that time, I only heard the news of the death of Emperor Cheng Zhao, and the fetal gas moved and gave birth to a child. Cheng Shengnv died shortly after giving birth due to excessive blood loss. Before she died, she handed over the child to the original General Cao Sheng. But after General Cao buried Cheng Shengnv and left, Cheng Shengnv was able to come back to life by cracking the secret technique. In order to avenge her, after Empress Huo replaced the dead eldest prince, she tried to use the resurrection to save him and let him come back to life. Killed his biological father with his own hands." General Wu thought of the grievances of the previous generation, but made these younger generations who should have lived well bear these blood debts as soon as they were born, and the culprit of all this was Emperor Cheng Xian.

His selfishness has harmed so many people, and he has no regrets at all.

And the Queen Mother...

The Empress Dowager's face was pale, she trembled slightly when she heard this, and now she is still holding on to the hope that those rumors are all false, Old General Wu opened his mouth to say, but after all he is a minister, and now the Empress Dowager is the Empress Dowager, what he said is even more inappropriate Can't say.

At this moment, Wei Yin raised his hand to stop him from continuing, but looked at the Queen Mother blankly: "Let me tell you the rest."

The Empress Dowager looked at Wei Yin in a daze, and pleaded reflexively: "Prince Rui, Emperor Chengxian took good care of you a lot when he was alive, although it is rumored that the old Prince Rui was killed by him, but all these are just rumors, you have to help ..."

"Help?" Wei Yin laughed mockingly, and he looked at the Queen Mother more calmly, "Emperor Chengxian and Emperor Chengzhao are both descended from you. It is only because Emperor Chengxian has been raised by your side, and Emperor Chengzhao likes to run outside the palace. , and have no intention of the throne, and you have less time to stay in the palace, so you have a deeper affection for Emperor Chengxian. But even if the affection is far and near, I would like to ask the Queen Mother, what kind of partiality, let you clearly know that a son After killing another son, how can he be so calm and filial to his mother for more than 20 years? Have you ever thought how sad another son will be in the spirit of heaven?"

The Empress Dowager's face was pale, she trembled her lips and wanted to say no, she wanted to explain: "It's not like this, Xian'er said it was an accident..."

"Do you believe what he says? Do you believe it, or use these to convince yourself, only in this way will you have a son who becomes the emperor, instead of a murderer who killed your brother? Only if he continues to be the emperor, you will Only the Empress Dowager can continue to enjoy the glory and wealth? So you acquiesced to those words of Wei Xian who lied to you."

"After a long time, do you really think that those are real?"

"You said that Emperor Chengxian was kind to me. Has the Queen Mother ever heard the word flattery? Or is it because Wei Xian did not blame me for being poisonous? You don't need to rush to defend him, just because you are afraid of others robbing him of the throne." .

So he wants to get rid of any potential threats, so it's nothing more than injecting a strange poison on a newborn child, it's just a life, how can it compare to his throne? "

"Brother is nothing, he is just a royal brother, how is the throne important?"

"Old Uncle Prince Rui is fine. He doesn't only have one uncle... He will not feel at ease until all those who know the truth about the past are dead. He makes alchemy and wants to live forever. Even your son doesn't believe it, do you think he has a little sincerity towards an old Prince Rui who just calls him uncle?"

Wei Yin's icy voice came indifferently, and the Empress Dowager was completely stunned by what she wanted to justify, she couldn't stop trembling all over, she wanted to ask Prince Rui if he was weak due to premature birth?It turned out that he had been poisoned a long time ago?

Old General Wu sighed: "Mrs. Empress Dowager, this old minister is only loyal to the old late emperor. Later he was Emperor Cheng Zhao, and now he is King Rui. Emperor Chengxian killed all his life. He is unfaithful, filial, benevolent, and unrighteous. This old minister does not recognize such an emperor. For that Emperor, how many innocent people did he kill, and how many people were killed by him? If it weren't for old Prince Rui, the blood of Emperor Cheng Zhao would not have survived. As for Huo Xiang, Queen Mother, you really don't know why Emperor Cheng Xian Would you marry Empress Huo after ascending the throne? It's just that the two of them conspired to kill Emperor Chengzhao back then...it's just that Huo Xiang hid it deeply."

As long as Huo Xiang is innocent, Prince Rui will not detain him.

The monopoly of the Huo family's relatives has long been broken from the root, and can only be uprooted.

The Empress Dowager's body was on the verge of collapse, she learned too much today, and she couldn't digest it completely for a while, but was it true that she was really unaware of what Old General Wu said?She just didn't dare to think about it, because she was afraid... that she wouldn't be able to bear the truth.

The Empress Dowager's face was frighteningly pale, and after a while, she heard the deep meaning in Old General Wu's words: "Old Prince Rui... saved that child back then? Where is that child?"

Old General Wu didn't speak, but looked at Prince Rui.

The Empress Dowager followed his gaze, and burst into tears suddenly. She trembled and wanted to say something, but she couldn't speak, and she didn't have the face to say it. No wonder, no wonder Prince Rui resembled Emperor Cheng Xian very much. It turned out that he was not like Emperor Cheng Xian, but It's like... Emperor Chengzhao.

Wei Yin's voice was still flat and indifferent, and he looked at the Queen Mother without any emotional ups and downs: "He killed my biological father and my adoptive father, causing the poison in my body to be unable to be relieved... The Queen Mother told me, how can I help?"

The queen mother finally couldn't hold back her hand and wept silently: she was wrong...she was really wrong...

Wei Yin didn't look at him anymore, and walked out straight away. From the beginning, he didn't have any expectations for these so-called blood-related people, so to him, the Queen Mother was just a stranger whom he had met several times.

It's just that the appearance of the queen mother affected his mood. Wei Yin went to Jing Changji's camp, walked around the screen and saw Jing Changji who was teasing the little cub on the bed, and when Jing Changji heard footsteps and turned around, he couldn't help it. Come forward and hug the person.

Jing Changji was taken aback for a moment, then he heard a muffled voice above his head: "A Xu, let me hug you."

Jing Changji didn't move anymore, but after a while, he raised his arms around the other's waist, giving him silent comfort, as long as he needed, he was there.

On the other side, the Empress Dowager finally left by herself, and went down to report to Old General Wu. At first, Old General Wu wanted to tell Prince Rui, but thought Prince Rui might not care, and waved: "Let her go, don't bother Your Highness." .”

No matter who it is, it is absolutely impossible for Emperor Chengxian to leave a good reputation after his death. Those who have harmed Emperor Cheng Zhao, old Prince Rui, and loyal officials will settle their accounts one by one.

Huo Xiang... bears the brunt.

It's just that Old General Wu didn't expect that within two days after the Queen Mother returned to the palace, an imperial decree would be announced to the world. The second prince, who had been on the throne for only a few months, voluntarily gave the throne to Prince Rui, and immediately opened the city gates to welcome the new emperor into the capital.
