"Your Majesty..." Queen Wang looked at him with emotion, "Ruying is not dead."
As soon as these words came out, it had become a habit to remain calm, and the emperor's eyes couldn't help but show deep shock.
Queen Wang said, "This matter is a long story, and it starts with the Xiao family's corruption case before the emperor ascended the throne."
The Xiao family corruption case.
These five words made everyone in the hall tremble violently.
Back then, the entire Xiao family was wiped out, which was extremely tragic. Could it be possible that there was something hidden in this?
The emperor's eyes became cold and cold, "You tell me."
Queen Wang adjusted her breathing, looked at Concubine Mu, and said slowly: "Concubine Mu, does she still remember her close friend, Xiao Lan, the legitimate daughter of the Xiao family?"
Concubine Mu clenched her sleeves tightly, "Is it possible that the Queen wants to discuss the Emperor's past affairs in front of everyone?"
"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and family affairs are also state affairs." Empress Wang said lightly to Concubine Mu, and then said: "What's more, Xiao Lan disappeared before marrying into the prince's house, which is inseparable from you, and the Xiao family's corruption It was you who facilitated this case!"
There was an uproar in the palace.
Concubine Mu suddenly narrowed her eyes, "Does the Queen know what she is talking about?"
Queen Wang said coldly: "Since your concubine cannot remember clearly, I will tell you everything!"
Concubine Mu looked at the emperor, but the emperor did not look at her.
Concubine Mu gritted her teeth and listened to Queen Wang talk about the past more than ten years ago.
Xiao and Mu's family are family friends. Xiao Lan and Concubine Mu have known each other since childhood and have been inseparable. However, God's will has made it so that the sixth prince whom Concubine Mu wanted to marry fell in love with Xiao Lan and Concubine Mu.
Concubine Mu was extremely conceited and refused to admit that she lost to Xiao Lanyu. It can also be said that it was because of her dishonesty and constant tricks behind her back that she inadvertently caused the Sixth Prince and Xiao Lan to fall in love with Rijiu.
However, on the eve of becoming the sixth prince's concubine, Xiao Lan suddenly disappeared. The Xiao family was also imprisoned for embezzling official money, and the whole family was wiped out.
When the Sixth Prince was in extreme pain, the Queen Mother took Ruying away from him again, which dealt an even greater blow to the Sixth Prince.
However, the Queen Mother did not want Ruying's life, and the reason why Ruying disappeared was also related to Concubine Mu.
"Ruying originally followed the Queen Mother's arrangement and wanted to leave the palace to get married, but she accidentally discovered clues about Concubine Mu's plot to murder Xiao Lan and her husband.
She had been favored by the Xiao family, so she wanted to investigate. Just when she was about to inform the emperor of the clues she found, she was noticed by Liu Ye, the maid next to Mu Guifei. Ruying wanted to save her life so that the truth could be revealed later. , and escaped from the palace through the arrangement of the Queen Mother, without even having time to say goodbye to the Emperor. "
The emperor was a little surprised when he heard this.
Since Ruying left the palace under the arrangement of the Queen Mother, why did the Queen Mother conceal it when he asked her about it?
That's right, the Queen Mother didn't want him to worry about her children anymore, not to mention that everything in the government was changing and he was about to ascend the throne. The Queen Mother wanted him to be her emperor with peace of mind, so she didn't reveal anything about Ruying's whereabouts.
What's more, Ruying's escape is also related to Xiao Lan and...
The Queen Mother didn't want him to worry too much about this matter.
Queen Wang's statement continued. She ignored Concubine Mu's resentment and said to her: "After Xiao Lan disappeared, you often got close to the emperor in the name of her handkerchief, and you also obtained more benefits and conveniences. But you are still not at ease in your heart because Xiao Lan and the dead are not dead."
Concubine Mu clenched her teeth, feeling an unbearable sting from her fingernails on her palms.
She had put so much effort into becoming the sixth prince's concubine, but in the end the sixth prince ended up with Xiao Lan and Shuangsu. For her with a strong self-esteem, it was tantamount to a great shame and humiliation. How could she let Xiao Lan and Shuangsu become the sixth prince smoothly? Princess!
Why should Xiao Lan get what she can't get?
However, she finally became the sixth prince's concubine through Xiao Lan's friendship.
This was not a good experience for her.
She never felt that she was inferior to Xiao Lanyu, but she even became the sixth prince's concubine and had to use her reputation.
For Concubine Mu, this was undoubtedly an extremely irritating matter.
Queen Wang looked at Concubine Mu with disdain, "Afterwards, the emperor succeeded to the throne and ruled the world. In addition to a few old people from the harem, there are also the eldest girl who has served since childhood, and a childhood sweetheart cousin. But to the emperor, you are not There is nothing special about you. You can become a concubine only by relying on Xiao Lan and her friendship. You are unwilling to be angry, but you have no choice but to fall into deep resentment every day. You will even insult Xiao Lan and her in your dreams. For fear that she will have something. Come back soon and take everything from her."
Concubine Mu sneered, "Could it be that the queen slept on my concubine's pillow, so that anyone can know about my concubine's dream and insults?"
Queen Wang would not be fooled by her, and her thoughts would be disrupted by her. She ignored her taunts and continued: "You are afraid that Xiao Lan will come back one day, and the emperor will immediately welcome her into the palace, and will not only take away everything from you. , and may become a queen, always above you! So you came up with an extremely sinister idea!"
The Xiao family’s corruption case!
Everyone thought about it!
Could it be that Concubine Mu or even the Mu family did this?
"Queen, please don't spit on anyone!"
Queen Wang said: "Since I have spoken out, there is certainly enough evidence. Why should the noble concubine be anxious? Don't you want to know where Xiao Lan and Xiao Lan went during the two years they disappeared? How did they escape from your people in the first place? A life?"
Not only Concubine Mu wanted to know, Li Qingyi was also curious.
I only heard Queen Wang say, "If Concubine Mu had had Xiao Lanyu killed with one blow, there wouldn't have been so many troubles later. It's just that you are evil-minded. Not only did you want Xiao Lanyu's life, but you also wanted to stain her innocence." , by chance, she was rescued by Gongsun Jingzhi, who led the army on the expedition, and was brought to the border. Xiao Lan and her delicate body fell seriously ill, and she was ill for more than a year before she got better. At that time, there was a war in the border, and she was in the army. He helped treat the wounded. Half a year later, after the war was won, General Gongsun returned to the capital to report on his duties, and then he took her all the way back to the capital."
After Xiao Lan returned to the capital, she found out that the Xiao family had long been destroyed. She sent a message to the emperor through the palace staff she was familiar with back then, wanting to know the ins and outs of what happened to the Xiao family.
When the emperor learned that Xiao Lanyu was still alive, he was overjoyed and immediately summoned her to the palace in order to canonize her as queen.
However, Xiao Lan and the niece of the guilty minister met with opposition from many people. The emperor had only ascended the throne not long ago and was often hampered by courtiers. Moreover, the Mu family already had some power in the court at that time.
Queen Wang said: "The Xiao family has been labeled as corrupt and bribery, and even the emperor cannot save them. This will destroy the roots of the Xiao family, leaving Xiao Lan and Xiao Lan with no one to rely on even if they come back. In addition, the daughter of the guilty minister , and can’t become a queen.”
