When Di Jin said the title of Lady Xuan, the shock and fear she showed for a moment had already confirmed the answer.
The interrogation begins.
"Does Hao Qingyu know your identity?"
"I don't know."
"Did you become his foreign wife not only to covet his money, but also for this status?"
"good."
"The money you spent participating in Iron Arhat's kidnapping was included in the money extorted by Hao Qingyu. If you had successfully escaped that day, all this would have been done without anyone noticing, and no one would notice it again!"
"Ah!"
Xuan Niang knew it was useless to deny it, so she sneered.
Being a foreigner not only gives you a legitimate identity that allows you to live in seclusion, but it can also be used to launder money. It is indeed a clever trick.
As a supervisor, Hao Qingyu made a lot of money by blackmailing students in the hospital.
Xuan Niang participated in the Iron Arhat team's kidnapping of the rich man's wife and also made a lot of money.
Both of these amounts of money were shady, and their origins could not be explained clearly.
As a result, Hao Qingyu left the money with his wife for safekeeping, but he never expected that the other party would also use him as a cover.
"You two are such a perfect match!"
After asking about the basic situation and sighing a little, Di Jin began to ask the key points: "Are you from the Ghost Market of the Thief Clan? Are you a sister of the Zhu family?"
Xuan Niang's expression suddenly changed: "So you are here for her? Are you... from the palace?"
Di Jin narrowed his eyes slightly and thought this direction was very interesting. Was it not pointing directly at the Imperial City Division, but directly towards the palace?
His silence seemed to Xuan Niang as acquiescence. The woman turned green with anger and cursed: "This little bitch is really a disaster. I thought she suddenly came to Bingzhou to do bad things. Now she is fine. It’s over together!”
Di Jin waited until she finished venting before saying, "What did Mrs. Zhu tell you?"
Xuan Niang paused: "Zhu'er and I haven't seen each other for many years. She didn't say anything at all. She just said that she was framed by someone in the palace and wanted to use my identity to escape for a while..."
"Now that the matter has come to this, don't take any chances!" Di Jin said calmly, "With the involvement of the two of you, you will definitely not be able to escape if the incident happens to her. If you still hide it now, the lives of the whole family will be at risk!"
Xuan Niang hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Zhu'er told me that she accidentally overheard a very ridiculous thing in the palace. Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother's letter was lost in the envoy, but it appeared in her backpack. Several Forbidden Soldiers were clearly ordered to kill people and silence them. Seeing that the situation was not going well, Zhuer escaped by running into the water..."
Di Jin and Di Xiangling looked at each other.
This is completely contrary to what the Imperial City Secretary said.
The reason for the Imperial City Division represented by Lei Hu was that the envoy accidentally lost the letter written by Queen Mother Liu E to Wei Mushi. During the intensive search, they accidentally discovered Zhu's fault, and Zhu relied on women's sex to seduce Wei Mushi. The Imperial Guards in the mission successfully escaped with their help.
Now Xuan Niang said that the letter written by Queen Mother Liu E to Wei Mu was lost and appeared inexplicably in Zhu's house. The imperial army began to search. Zhu realized that someone was planning to frame her, so she immediately jumped into the water and fled. Finally, she came to Yangqu and found The former sisters used their identities to hide themselves.
Di Jin knew that the latter statement was more in line with the current situation, and immediately asked: "What on earth did Mr. Zhu hear?"
"The slave said it, don't believe it!"
Xuan Niang said: "Zhu'er heard that two old geldings were plotting to kill the Queen Mother..."
Di Xiangling had been listening and couldn't help it anymore: "Huh? Am I harming myself?"
Xuan Niang was about to cry but had no tears: "It's so ridiculous! That's why Zhu'er didn't believe it. It wasn't until those people wanted to harm her that she felt it was wrong!"
Di Jin's expression became extremely solemn: "Did she hear that the Queen Mother wanted to harm the official's mother?"
Xuan Niang was puzzled: "Is there any difference?"
Di Jin said silently: "Of course! If this is true, it would be a big case!"
Because in this special era, what happened in the palace will make people subconsciously think of a famous and strange case - the civet cat exchanged for the prince!
The story of the civet cat for the prince is that Song Zhenzong’s queen died of illness. Concubine Liu and Concubine Li were both pregnant at that time. Whoever gave birth to a son would be likely to become the main palace. Concubine Liu was sinister and made a plan with the palace manager Guo Huai. He ordered the midwife to take advantage of Concubine Li's unconsciousness during childbirth to replace the newly born prince with a bloody civet cat with its fur stripped off.
Concubine Liu ordered her maid to strangle the prince to death. The maid couldn't bear it, so she secretly handed him over to another eunuch, put him in a suitcase and sent him to the Eight Wise Kings to raise him. Later, Concubine Liu also gave birth to a son, but he had not yet grown up. Unfortunately, he died in infancy and Zhenzong had no children, so he brought the son of the Eight Wise Kings, who was actually the replaced prince, into the palace and succeeded him as the prince.
When the crown prince succeeded to the throne, that is, Song Renzong, Concubine Li was almost killed by Empress Liu, and then lived among the people. Finally, she met Bao Zheng, who knew everything about it, found out the secrets of the year, and designed Guo Huai to confess the truth. Empress Liu knew The conspiracy was exposed and he committed suicide.
This story is designed with ups and downs and is extremely exciting, but it is very different from history.
Historically, Song Renzong Zhao Zhen was not Liu E's biological son. Almost everyone in the harem knew it, and many ministers in the previous dynasty also knew it. It was not a secret.
Zhao Zhen's biological mother, Li Shi, was Liu E's personal maid. Fortunately, Zhenzong came and gave birth to a prince. However, Zhenzong loved Liu E more, so he let Liu E adopt the prince who was a maid's girl. The mother became the queen because of the nobleness of the son.
It is not unusual for a child born to a low-status palace servant to be adopted by a high-status queen and concubine. Everyone regarded it as unknown. When Liu E was alive, no one in the harem dared to tell the young Renzong. , The officials of the previous dynasty did not want to talk about this and gain the reputation of a villain for nothing.
After Liu E's death, the Eight Great Kings told Renzong, "Your Majesty was born to Concubine Li Chen, and Concubine Chen died unexpectedly." This meant that your biological mother was harmed by Empress Dowager Liu.
Renzong was furious and sent people to surround the Liu family's mansion. He even went to his mother's coffin to open the coffin and conduct an autopsy. He found that Concubine Li Chen was buried according to the queen's rules, and the body was maintained with mercury and her appearance was intact. Therefore, he believed that Empress Dowager Liu was wrongly blamed. He broke off the siege of the Liu family, punished the eight kings, and personally went to the Queen Mother's funeral to apologize.
Bao Zheng was not involved in the whole process, because Bao Zheng was still a common man at that time. Although he was a Jinshi in high school, he went home to serve his parents and did not become an official. Naturally, it was impossible for the emperor and the mother and son to recognize each other.
To sum up, the Empress Liu and the Eight Wise Kings in the novel are completely different from the Empress Dowager Liu and the Eight Wise Kings in history.
Di Jin still doesn't know which version of the Empress Dowager Liu and the Eighth Prince in this world is, but no matter which version it is, the escaped palace maid Zhu gave a shocking confession that the Empress Dowager wanted to harm the official mother!
"No wonder the Imperial City Division went to war so aggressively. They blocked the inside and outside for a month and tried their best to catch a woman. If she is a real Liao spy, I'm afraid she won't be treated like this. Just run away!"
Di Jin sighed in a low voice, struck Xuan Niang unconscious with a split palm, and said to his sister, "This is a serious matter. Let's take her back and discuss it later!"
