After hearing the news that she was going to see the Eight Sage Kings, the Empress Dowager Li was walking like flying, and she was about to fly with two wings.If it wasn't for Zhan Zhao and Mu Qiao's lightness skills, they would have almost failed to catch up.

And here the Eight Sage Kings are still drinking tea with Bao Zheng.Knowing that his life was not in danger, the Baxian King also heaved a sigh of relief, recovered his nature, and started laughing and cursing with Bao Zheng. When the Empress Dowager Li entered the door, he was talking dryly, and when he saw the old lady, he sprayed water directly. out.

"Emperor...Emperor's sister-in-law?" Baxian Wang was stunned when he saw the person in front of him, he couldn't believe it.

This title simply made Queen Mother Li full of emotion.Although everyone in Kaifeng Mansion recognized her identity before and called her Empress Dowager, it was different after all.The Eighth Sage King is a member of the royal family, and his words of "sister-in-law" are tantamount to an acknowledgment to Queen Mother Li.

Empress Dowager Li couldn't help but burst into tears under the mixed sorrow and joy: "Eight Sage King, it's good, it's good that you are still willing to recognize Ai's family."

Hello everyone!The Eight Sage King got up and respectfully bowed to Queen Mother Li: "Zhao Defang pays his respects to the emperor's wife. The emperor's wife, I haven't seen you for more than 20 years. You have aged a lot..."

Empress Dowager Li shook her head: "Ai's family is living among the people, with no food and clothing, and crying blind because of missing my son, if my son Fan Zonghua hadn't taken care of him, he would have died among the people long ago, and he would not have seen Bao Qing and the emperor's uncle." gone."

The Eight Virtuous King sighed: "These years, I have indeed wronged the emperor's sister-in-law. But the emperor's wife can rest assured, the emperor has made great efforts to govern the country in recent years, and he has been a model for all people in the world. The emperor's wife is enough to comfort her."

Empress Dowager Li burst into tears when she heard the words: "It turns out...my unfavorable child is really the current emperor?"

Baxian Wang hurriedly said: "Don't cry, sister-in-law. The emperor is indeed the son of the emperor's wife. When the civet cat was replaced by the prince, Eunuch Chen risked his death to take the emperor out of the palace and send him to my house. So they concealed it and did not report it, and replaced it with the emperor, pretending to be the son of the princess, and raised him in the Nanqing Palace. Empress Liu didn't know that she had committed many unrighteous actions and offended the heavens, and even affected the prince who was born of her. When I was a teenager, I was killed by a serious illness. The late emperor had no children, so he asked me to adopt one person, who is the current emperor."

Empress Dowager Li nodded again and again: "Thank you very much, thank you very much, these years... the Eight Sage Kings have really worked hard."

The Baxian King shook his head: "Sister-in-law Huang is too polite, whether as a minister or younger brother, this is my duty. The sister-in-law is back at this time, but..."

Empress Dowager Li wiped away her tears, stood up and looked in the direction of the palace outside the door, and said firmly: "That's right, the Ai family came back this time to return those things that originally belonged to the Ai family!"

The Baxian King was startled, and subconsciously took a step forward, but after a while, he came back to his senses and returned to the original place silently.In fact, he also knew that Queen Mother Li's move was not unreasonable, on the contrary, it was justified. If she didn't come back, it would be abnormal.But……

When the Baxian King was hesitating, the Empress Dowager Li spoke again: "However, since the Aijia learned the truth these years, the Aijia has always had a question and wanted to ask the Baxian King."

The Baxian King sighed: "I know what the sister-in-law wants to ask...I want to ask, why did the king raise the prince at that time, but didn't bring the grievances of the sister-in-law to the previous emperor, right?"

"That's right!" Empress Dowager Li turned her head back, her face full of tears again, "Since the Baxian King knows the truth and knows that Ai's family has been wronged, why can't he stand up and give Ai's family justice!"

The Eight Sage Kings were speechless when asked.This matter has indeed been a heart disease for him all the time.

Back then when he learned about this, he might not have wanted to vindicate Empress Dowager Li, but he learned about it too late. The dust has almost settled, even if it is said, can the Empress Dowager Li, who was still Concubine Li at the time, regain her rightful status?

The Eight Sage Kings are almost certain, no.And with his elder brother's character, if he learned the truth, he might execute Concubine Liu to death, but he might also become angry and execute Concubine Li.Anyway, there is no danger of life in the cold palace. The eight virtuous kings felt that they had the ability to protect Concubine Li, so they acquiesced and never mentioned it again.

Until later, concubine Liu lost her son, and the prince entered the palace, but he recognized the thief as his mother. The eight sage kings felt a little worried. Later, the prince happened to pass by Lenggong and met Li concubine, which made the eight sage kings feel unbearable and ordered Chen Lin He sent a message to Concubine Li, who knew that this move would bring disaster to Concubine Li even more.

For more than ten years since then, the Baxian King has maintained a special apology to this sister-in-law.He knew that Concubine Li's death had nothing to do with him, but on the way to send her to die, his decision played a big role in promoting her.This made it difficult for the Eighth Sage King to calm down, and the death of Concubine Li completely made him recognize Concubine Liu, and since then his relationship with Concubine Liu has become even colder.

But these words, speaking to Empress Dowager Li... can she accept it?

The Eight Wise Kings couldn't be sure, but they couldn't remain silent either, so they organized their language and told them all.

Everyone in the room was silent.The struggle in the palace is intrigue, intrigue, intrigue and treacherous, it is really appalling.

But Mu Qiao thought a little more.She silently raised her hand and said, "I have a question, I don't know if I can ask it."

Seeing her picturesque features, the Eighth Sage King couldn't help feeling a little more fond of her, and nodded upon hearing this: "Ask."

Mu Qiao asked: "Since the Empress Dowager Liu was equal to the Empress Dowager in the palace back then, which also shows that the status of the two is similar, how did she manage to cheat the world, buy and suppress all the palace people, and planned the civet cat for the prince?" case?"

This question...is puzzling.

Over the years, all the insiders have been immersed in the sensationalism of this monstrous case, but no one has thought deeply about the three flavors. When Mu Qiao mentioned it at this time, everyone realized it.

The Empress Dowager Liu was indeed honored and favored, but the Empress Dowager Li was not bad either. The degree of favor between the two was almost the same. Even because the Empress Dowager Li was gentle and considerate, she was even more sacred.Even though these people are afraid of the power of Empress Dowager Liu, are they really not afraid of Empress Dowager Li?When Empress Dowager Li gave birth, didn't she find a trusted imperial physician?

There are too many doubts, but people ignore them.

The Eighth Sage King shook his head: "I also thought it was strange back then. I sent someone to investigate, but all the evidence pointed to Empress Dowager Liu, and there was nothing wrong with it." There is another sentence that the Eighth Sage King didn't say.When he checked, he found that although the traces of the party who did it were wiped clean, even Concubine Liu's hands and feet could not be found. If there was not a maid on Concubine Liu's side who rebelled, maybe there was no evidence of her crime.If so, there is only one possibility for the person behind it.

Royal relatives.

Only these people can reach into the heavily locked harem, but the eight sage kings don't want to guess or dare to guess the identity of that person.
