Chapter 51: (2/2)
There was one more witness and the truth became clearer. It's just that the emperor and empress never expected that the third prince turned out to be Xie Qing's son! Xie Qing even used so many women to change children. There are five who are pregnant alone, and how many are not pregnant?
At first, the queen guessed that the birth of the eldest prince and the second prince put too much pressure on the prime minister, and the prime minister suspected that she had given birth to a daughter, so she used a boy to guarantee her lifetime honor, or to ensure that her mother's family would not stand. A place of defeat.
But the more investigation, the less she thought about it. She felt that Xie Qing had to change children regardless of whether she gave birth to a boy or a girl.
After all, after listening to Wang Liu's confession, the third prince was taken in directly, and at the time they said that they had to replace the one to be solved. Never said that if it's a boy, it won't change. Besides, if you just change a boy and find a pregnant woman, why bother to get so many women to guarantee that they are Xie Qing's flesh and blood?
Originally, she was going to question her natal queen, and she became completely silent. She intuitively felt that there was a more terrible conspiracy.
The appearance of Jiang Nan's mother and son made Xie Qing panic, and he hurriedly went to the prime minister for advice. The prime minister kicked him fiercely, and yelled angrily: ”You really did not succeed in failure! Even a woman can't handle it, so what use do I want you!”
Xie Qing said with sweat on his forehead: ”Father, my son and my son really liked her at the beginning, so he didn't have the heart to kill her, thinking about sending her to Jiangnanshan Gaoshuiyuan... I didn't think that the people who fell in the end were greedy for the money I gave them. , Made it like this.”
”Unexpectedly! Unexpectedly! What can you think of? You do bad things for me!” The prime minister was shaking with anger.
Before he was not sure that the emperor suspected him, but now Lou Ye has directly arrested the mother and son, something must have been found. The prime minister did not dare to gamble or wait. He directly took a huge risk and mobilized all the secret forces in an attempt to push the disaster to the second prince’s birth mother, Jing Concubine.
When the second prince died that year, the most suspected concubine was the imperial concubine, but because of the lack of evidence, it finally fell away. Concubine Jing hates the imperial concubine, and has no kindness towards the queen. Isn't it reasonable for her to give the queen a son and help the queen to oppose the imperial concubine?
As for the Jiangnan mother and son, as long as Xie Qing does not admit it, what evidence do they have to prove their relationship with Xie Qing? He can also say that they were bought by Concubine Jing!
Concubine Jing had been worshipping the Buddha for many years and was suddenly drawn into this vortex. Lou Ye found a lot of evidence directed at Concubine Jing. He settled down and set up a series of traps, which successfully led to several officials who stirred up trouble. He was very patient, didn't rush to startle the snake, borrowed people from the emperor to stare at everything they did.
There is chaos in Beijing. Although it is still Guotai Minan on the surface, it is already undercurrent and very thrilling.
The emperor and Lou Ye kept the investigation of Huo Wei's life a secret. Outsiders didn't even know how much evidence they had, and the government still couldn't find out what happened. So the eldest prince and the third prince were also at a loss for the chaos in Beijing, why did they not fight, the situation became tense? Even the queenless concubine Jing is restless?
When there is chaos, it is the best time to attack.
The third prince still remembered that he was assassinated by the eldest prince, and when he recovered, he couldn't wait to find the prime minister and discuss how to fight back the prince. Now the prime minister is busy protecting himself, unable to distract himself from dealing with the prince, but the third prince cannot understand what he is anxious about, and instead suspects that he is not dedicated.
The grandfather and grandson were very unhappy, and the third prince angrily said: ”Jing Concubine has an enemy with the concubine. Now that Concubine Jing has a strange move, isn't it a good time to act on the prince? We can push everything to Concubine Jing. Missing this time, it is difficult to clear my suspicion!”
The prime minister took a deep breath, calmed down and thought carefully. After a long time, he nodded, ”What you said is extremely true, I will arrange this matter, and you will go back to the palace. You are about to leave the palace to build the palace. You should be busy, don't always come to me. ”
The third prince keenly sensed that something was wrong with him, and asked, ”Why? But what's wrong?”
The prime minister couldn't say, frowning and shook his head, ”It's better to be cautious in troubled times.”
This is true, but the third prince still feels that he has something to hide from himself.
He is a person to be emperor, and it is impossible to trust the prime minister without reservation. He also planted two nails in the prime minister's mansion. Usually, if you don't use it, you don't need it to avoid exposure. This time he let the two nails act at the same time to find out what happened to the prime minister.
Every official and nobleman is very nervous. They don't know exactly what happened. They just feel that a storm is coming!
The prime minister had been contending with the imperial concubine for so many years, and naturally collected a lot of evidence against the prince. The most serious was the assassination of the third prince. The prime minister made preparations in advance because Master Liu had already known the plan, and kept enough evidence.
This time, he sent the evidence to the hands of Concubine Jing.
Concubine Jing really hates the imperial concubine. Her family hasn't been seen for so many years, and she naturally hates the imperial concubine without any benefits. If the second prince were still there, they must be outstanding today. So as soon as they found the evidence was solid, they decided not to let go of the prince.
But they are not stupid, Jing Fei is eager to take revenge and does not want to delay, so she just came straight and went directly to the emperor's back to explain that these evidences suddenly appeared somehow, her mother's family didn't check it, they were all discovered by accident. evidence.
Such a coincidence was definitely caused by someone deliberately. It was so serious that she did not dare to hide it, and immediately reported it to the emperor and queen.
The eldest prince assassinated the three princes, and the concubine Jing knew that it was reasonable and reasonable to report to the emperor and queen. Although no one will expose it personally like her, but the emperor and the queen are suspicious of the prime minister, so Jingfei's approach is reasonable, and she has to protect herself.
At this time, the emperor and queen had determined that the three princes were not their sons, and they felt very complicated for the three princes. Even if he was not their biological son, they were the adopted sons they had raised for 16 years. Up?
So they were very angry after knowing that the eldest prince really assassinated the three princes. Especially the emperor, he suspected that the imperial concubine killed the second prince, but now the eldest prince wants to kill the third prince again. They are too daring!
Cruel brothers, your mind is vicious! The emperor was no longer able to accommodate the eldest prince and noble concubine, but now he only had the eldest prince's own son. He could not remove the eldest prince. In the end, he only removed all the ranks of the noble concubine, and cut off the officials of the noble concubine father and brother. The eldest prince temporarily restrained his feet in the mansion, reflecting on his own faults.
In everyone's eyes, this means that the eldest prince has fallen! To the bottom, what hope is there for a temporary ban? There will be no more power after it comes out. This world belongs to the three princes!
The third prince was surprised that things went so well, but he was so happy that he couldn't help but drink and celebrate when he returned to his yard.
Lu Jingyun was already his concubine, so she found a chance to serve him next to him, and she took him to her room, hoping to get pregnant sooner.
Although the eldest prince fell much earlier than in his previous life, many things have changed in this life, and she is used to seeing it. Now that she is working hard to regulate her body, she just wants to be pregnant as soon as possible with the child of the third prince, who is the future prince. She is the life-saver of the future emperor, and if another prince is next to her, maybe... she can still be the queen mother in a few decades!
Lu Jingyun felt happy after thinking about it, and fortunate that this step was right at the beginning. She should have found the third prince a long time ago, and shouldn't deal with Huo Wei at all. When she enters the palace to be a mistress, Huo Wei will have to kneel when she sees her. At that time, what else does she want?
Lu Jingyun smiled and thought in the arms of the third prince, it is not too late. The eldest prince fell prematurely, and the third prince will surely ascend to the throne early. She will soon be a mother. She wants all those who look down on her to kneel in front of her and greet her!
The queen was afraid that the three princes would be unbearable after they knew the truth, so she sent someone to stare at the three princes. Who knows this stare, she discovered Lu Jingyun!
Who is Lu Jingyun? It was the person who caused Huo Wei to be regarded as a broom star by all the people in Beijing! It was the person who caused Huo Wei to be almost caught by Shen Tang!
The third prince actually took Lu Jingyun as a concubine? The queen felt very uncomfortable, and the feeling of ying Ying made her a little angry towards the third prince. There are thousands of ways to repay your kindness, why keep such a woman by your side? Did she teach him this way?
The queen suddenly froze when she thought of this place. She remembered that after the three princes started to study at a few years old, they spent most of their time studying and went to the prime minister's residence to play. The third prince and the prime minister's mansion are very close. Does the third prince know the truth?
The queen suddenly felt cold all over. Why can't the relatives beside her be trusted? Everyone said that the emperor would dislike her sooner or later, and let her use various methods to favor her. She has never done it. In the end, the most ridiculous thing is that those who care about her are separated from her. The only one who truly treats her is the emperor. !
The queen originally wanted to explain the truth to the third prince slowly, but now she suspects that the third prince is in collusion with the prime minister's mansion, so she doesn't say anything at all and asks the emperor to be more cautious.
The emperor is not afraid, the bigger the movement, the easier it is to show his feet. Concubine Jing's frank confession let him know who obtained the evidence where and where, and immediately let Lou Ye investigate it.
Lou Ye had been staring at some officials, coupled with the previous affairs of Mrs. Liu and Concubine Jing this time, and finally broke away and discovered their relationship with the prime minister!
The prime minister and the third prince were right, the more chaotic, the easier it is to attack. Because no one can do everything, Lou Ye's side is the same. Taking advantage of their chaos, he grabbed the prime minister's handle and continued to investigate deeply.
This is also a coincidence. Lou Ye grew up on the border since he was a child, and he understood some small habits and characteristics of those in the enemy country. While investigating the prime minister and his son, he unexpectedly discovered that Xie Qing had these small habits and characteristics.
He never missed the slightest suspicious point, so he started to investigate from this line. Combining with what happened in the border checkpoints in recent years, I was shocked to discover that the prime minister's original match was a native of the enemy! In other words, the prime minister is regarded as the son-in-law of the enemy country, and their son Xie Qing has half the blood of the Great Qin country and half the blood of the enemy country.
This was even more important. Lou Ye immediately reported it to the emperor for further investigation. Whoever the emperor wants to check, he will be able to find out, it's just a matter of time. What's more, this emperor is not a idiot, he just hasn't discovered such a ridiculous thing before.
In the end, the spies sent by Lou Ye to the enemy country found out that the battle that his father died in the battle was because the prime minister collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, leading to a defeat in the war. His father probably also noticed something wrong, so he suspected that the emperor would not allow Lou's family and forced Lou Ye to change his name. But he was afraid of Lou Ye's revenge, so he concealed his suspicion.
Lou Ye locked himself in the room for a day and night after finding out the incident, without dripping water. As a result, it happened that the three princes inserted the nail in the prime minister's house to find out about Huo Wei, and found out about changing children back then. When the three princes were shocked, the first thing they thought of was to get rid of Huo Wei, and then secretly attacked the ”Huo Wei” in the Queen's Palace!
In order to protect Huo Wei, the queen deliberately arranged a palace girl into Huo Wei in the side hall, but the palace girl was poisoned to death!
The queen was so frightened that she sternly asked people to investigate, but the clues finally found out pointed to the third prince! The queen fainted immediately, and the emperor was furious and ordered people to surround the courtyard of the three princes, and no one was allowed to enter or leave. Lou Ye also woke up, did not dare to delay, and tried his best to assist the emperor and deal with the prime minister.
Prime Minister Xie has done a lot of harm, killing Lou Ye's father, causing Huo Wei to live outside the palace, separating the emperor and the queen from flesh and blood, and killing the women and daughters of Xie Qing. There are many other innocent people who have been implicated by him, and he is inexcusable!
The emperor Longyan was furious, and when he counted the crimes committed by the prime minister, he directly took the people and threw all of the Xie family into the sky prison, waiting for the question!
The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were shocked, the prime minister's original match was actually a woman from the enemy country! What was even more shocking was that the prime minister was actually persuaded by the woman to help the enemy country destroy the Great Qin Dynasty, even at the cost of replacing the child of his biological daughter.
However, even if he changed, he would use his own grandson to exchange it. In the future, the three princes will become the emperor with the blood of the Great Qin Dynasty and the enemy country. As long as the prime minister holds him, he still wants to do anything? Help the enemy country capture the Great Qin country!
The officials took a sigh of relief and did not dare to say a word, only that they would change in the days to come, completely changed.
The three princes who were imprisoned were already dumbfounded at this time. His mind kept echoing the imperial decree read by the chief eunuch, ”Confusing the royal blood”. He knew these words separately, but they could be put together. How could he not understand? ?
How did the father find out? The prime minister is so thorough in his work, how could he be found out? He is the son of Emperor Father, how could he be the son of Xie Qing? Xie Qing is a waste! He is still the only son of the queen. Doesn't the queen want to be the mother of the next emperor? Don't want to be invincible in the harem forever?
All his thinking was taught to him by the prime minister, and he felt threatened should be removed. No matter who the opponent was, he felt that the queen must be reluctant to expose the matter, because the queen only had one son. As a result, everything he considered was not valid. The queen actually cared about that daughter, a daughter she hadn't seen in 16 years. Is she crazy? !
The third prince couldn't accept it at all, and Lu Jingyun couldn't accept it more than him. The third prince is the future emperor. This is something that happened in the previous life. How could he be a false prince? He can't be a fake prince! And Huo Wei, Huo Wei is the daughter of the Li family, how could she become a princess?
In the last life... she remembered that in the last life Huo Wei did not return to Li's house, the Li family naturally had no chance to say that Huo Wei was not Li's daughter. At that time, Huo Wei married Fang Qingze and had two sons in a row. She had a solid position and gained a lot of weight. She had a smooth life, and there was no mystery of her life experience.
Lu Jingyun said ”Impossible, don't believe”, and the third prince was even more reluctant to believe it, and he didn't want to leave the palace just like that. Once he leaves this palace, he will never come back!
He pushed away the guards and ran to the queen's palace. He is going to beg his mother, the queen will definitely be soft-hearted, the queen always loves him, he does not believe that the mother will give up on him. There is also the father, the prince has been abolished, he is the most capable person to succeed to the throne, even if he is really not their blood, he is the closest son they have raised for 16 years!
The guard didn't stop him, so Lu Jingyun chased him and ran out. She felt all this like a dream, she didn't believe it, she was going to prove it all with her own eyes.
God seemed to hear her voice, she just ran to the gate of the Queen's Palace, and saw Huo Wei being helped by the court lady from the chariot, dressed up, making people unable to look away.
The dozens of maids at the gate of the palace curtted their knees at the same time and said in unison: ”The servants and maidservants, see Her Royal Highness, Princess Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose!”
Lu Jingyun's head buzzed, she met Huo Wei's gaze, Huo Wei smiled at her slightly, just like when Huo Wei left the Lu family, she didn't pay attention to her at all.
She was the one who caused all this. If she didn't ruin Huo Wei's relationship, she would really be the mother of the future.
She knelt to the ground with a soft leg.
It turned out that everything was really just a dream. She didn't wait for Huo Wei to kneel to her, instead she was about to kneel to Huo Wei.
