Prince Regent's Concubine

Because he refused to give up this opportunity, Xiao Jingheng told the court about the matter, presented all the evidence, and asked Prime Minister Li Wei to investigate the matter thoroughly.

As soon as a lot of evidence is presented, as long as these courtiers are not stupid, they can guess who it is, and because they are not clear and vague, it is easier to attract people's discussion. When they go home and tell their wives, they will soon come to the house. We all know.

Knowing this, it is inevitable to pass it on to other people's homes, and within two days, the common people will know, three or five people gather together, as if they are doing something shameful, gossiping together, almost the whole street If this is the case, it will be known to everyone.

Xiao Jingheng deliberately indulged, and it can even be said that he deliberately used rumors to deal with this matter, so naturally no one stopped him.

But when the courtiers of the Queen Mother realized that something was wrong and wanted to stop it, it was too late, so they could only find a solution to the Queen Mother. They attached themselves to the Queen Mother, and if something happened to the Queen Mother, they would be done with.

Although the queen mother saw someone, she didn't say anything useful, she just sent people back to wait for news, and then told them to be careful in their actions recently, so that they don't get caught, she will keep them safe.

Ever since Xiao Chuyi left the Northern Territory alive, even if the queen mother came to such a day, she was not in a hurry or flustered, even if she knew that it was her who did it, so what, would the emperor dare to kill her directly?

The queen mother is laughing, she is not feeling well, will the emperor be able to feel better?How dare you be so blatant if you don't have a backhand.

Not long after the ministers left, the emperor came, and he was not stopped outside the Jianing Palace like before.

The mother and son didn't even bother to put on the hypocritical etiquette. The Queen Mother looked at Xiao Jingheng, who had become more and more majestic as an emperor, and laughed, "The emperor is becoming more and more decent now, which is really gratifying to Aijia."

"The queen mother should really be relieved. If it weren't for the son and minister who has grown up and is a little more capable now, my country will be handed over to the queen mother." Xiao Jingheng was talking about making peace with Ning Guguo.

"The emperor's words are wrong. This Jiangshan Ai family likes it so much, how could he be willing to give it away. The emperor also likes it, but you have to guard it, otherwise you will be snatched away. At that time, the emperor will not want to cry. late."

The emperor intuitively felt that this was wrong, "What does the queen mother mean by this?"

The queen mother laughed lightly, "It turns out that the emperor has locked up your uncle for so long and still hasn't asked anything. It seems that the emperor's method is not very good."

"Aijia has spent a lot of painstaking efforts to let you know the truth, the emperor must not let Aijia down."

The more he heard the words, the more something went wrong, Xiao Jingheng's face sank slightly, it seemed that Ling He would have to interrogate Ling He more when he went back, what secrets did he and the Queen Mother hide.

Seeing that the emperor did not speak, the queen mother knew that she had taken the bait, and she began to talk about Xiao Chuyi again, "Your majesty, your emperor's uncle gave you disaster relief outside and helped you fight the war. The people here are grateful to him and Ling Qingshi, and they are all reborn parents. The Ai family originally wanted to win the hearts of the people for you, but now your uncle has it all, what a pity."

What the queen mother said was to admit that she blocked the news of the snow disaster in the northern border, but what Xiao Jingheng cared about was the popular opinion.

The spies he sent to the northern border came back and said that the northern border is now making money in a hurry, the idea is all from his aunt, and even established relationships with some tribes in the grassland, so that the people in the northern border can solve their difficulties and live a better life. Days, don't you just be grateful to them.

He has the hearts of the people and military exploits, but he is still a regent who doesn't listen to him, how can he not let Xiao Jingheng be afraid.

The queen mother looked at his reaction, and her smile became more obvious, "Your Majesty, you should deal with your own affairs before you trouble the Ai family. No matter what, you and the Ai family are also a mother and child. Tiger poison does not eat its offspring. No matter what, the Ai family will not let you down." I won’t attack my son, but it’s different for others.”

As soon as the queen mother finished speaking, she noticed the emperor's gaze. Those eyes contained a strong warning and deterrence, which made the queen mother a little frightened.

But it's just a look, it can't do anything to her, the queen mother waved her hand, "The Ai family is exhausted, please go back, the emperor, if you want to deal with the Ai family, you must first gather the evidence, otherwise it is unfilial, the emperor should think twice."

The emperor waved his sleeves, turned around and left.

He stopped after walking a long way, "Zhou Qi!"

Zhou Qi quickly responded, "Your Majesty, the servant is here." This call with both names and surnames showed that the Emperor was in a fit of anger.

"Go, interrogate Ling He," Xiao Jingheng ordered.

The Empress Dowager gave a lot of information, but Xiao Jingheng kept thinking after leaving the Jianing Palace, even if the regent king's people's will, he didn't have that kind of thought, so it was impossible to grab this position with him.

Xiao Jingheng didn't know if he really didn't have that kind of thought, but he knew that Xiao Chuyi would not rebel within a while, and the most urgent task now was to pry the secret out of Ling He's mouth with his tongue first.

Ling He was poisoned that day. Although he saved his life, he was also injured. In addition, he was not too young and had not cultivated well.

Xiao Jingheng had been asked by someone before, but he didn't ask anything, but this time he didn't intend to be merciful, and when he came, he was beaten severely with a whip, and then he said: "I ask you, what is the relationship between you and the queen mother?" What's the secret?"

As Xiao Jingheng said, he stepped forward and pinched Ling He's chin, with a bit of cruelty on his face, "Say, otherwise I will let you be buried here today!"

Ling He was afraid of death, otherwise he would not have induced himself to vomit immediately after he noticed the poisoning, and had someone directly report to the emperor, and then spared his life.

But that's all, for more than half a year, he has been tortured by his body's pain every day, and his life is almost worse than death. Ling He regretted it a long time ago, and felt that it would be good to die with other people that day.

But now no one kills him, and he can't commit suicide, so he can only live like this.

Ling He glanced at the emperor, "Your Majesty, you have finally come to ask the minister," Ling He's voice was a little hoarse and unpleasant after a long time of silence.

The emperor raised the corners of his mouth, "Why, I've been looking forward to my arrival? Since that's the case, let's be sensible and say it quickly, otherwise..."

Otherwise, Xiao Jingheng didn't say anything, but his strength increased, as if he wanted to crush his jaw.

Ling He didn't speak, but laughed instead, "Your Majesty, if I'm like this, I won't be afraid of death. I won't say anything. If the Emperor wants my life, kill me."

Ling He knew that it wasn't that he was afraid of death, but that the emperor wanted to know the secret from him, which became his bargaining capital.

"Really?" Xiao Jingheng's eyes narrowed, and the hand that squeezed his chin changed to pinching his neck, "Then I will let you taste what it means to truly live than die!"
