This was Concubine Mu's way of nipping at the bud, and it was also her way of venting her hatred towards Xiao Lan.
But she might not have thought that Xiao Lan and Zhen would come back.
At that time, Concubine Mu had been in the palace for more than two years. Except for the failure to give birth to a son and a half, everything else was going well.
Suddenly, when she heard that Xiao Lanyu was still alive and had been welcomed into the palace by the emperor, she went crazy and mobilized all the power of the Mu family to prevent him from entering the palace.
Xiao Lan and Ben were disheartened because of the Xiao family's affairs, and did not want to embarrass the emperor, so they refused to be granted the title of empress.
But Xiao Lan and Xiao had long been homeless and had nowhere to go. Gongsun Jingzhi had long been in love with Xiao Lan and asked the emperor for a marriage.
Xiao Lan married him in gratitude for his life-saving grace and two years of care.
Gongsun Jingzhi and the emperor have been friends since childhood, and their character is beyond doubt.
The emperor reluctantly gave up his love and granted marriage to the two. On the grounds of military merit, Gongsun Jingzhi, the general of Zhenbei, was named the King of Zhenbei.
But even though Xiao Lan married another person, Concubine Mu was still worried and deliberately wanted to put Xiao Lan and even her child to death.
Fortunately, with the protection of Prince Zhenbei, Sun Jingzhi, Xiao Lan and Cai were able to live a stable life for a few years.
However, she was murdered by Concubine Mu, and her body was seriously injured. Later, she became depressed because of the Xiao family's affairs. In the end, she still left young Qin Zeng behind, and died of illness early.
But even though she was dead, the matter was not over yet.
Ruying has evidence that Concubine Mu framed the Xiao family. Although Xiao Lan and Xiao are dead, Ruying is likely to send the things to Gongsun Jingzhi.
So, Concubine Mu repeated her old tricks.
Sun Jingzhi, the prince of Zhenbei, was involved in a treason case and was falsely accused of colluding with the enemy and treason.
Concubine Mu saw that Empress Wang was determined to force her to a dead end today, and she wanted to rush over and bite her to death, strangling her words in her throat, "The Empress said nothing but white teeth, and she just wanted to pour this dirty water on me." ?」
Queen Wang looked at Concubine Mu with a cold expression, "If it's true or false, you might as well ask the emperor to see it. Look at how you, Mu Qingling, sent one hundred and thirty-six lives of the Xiao family to a point of no return without conscience! "
One hundred and thirty-six lives!
It was said so intuitively that even Concubine Mu herself was shocked.
Li Qingyi looked at Qin Zeng and saw that his expression was darker than the darkness under the abyss. Although he looked calm on the surface, there was probably a storm inside.
An unknown emotion suddenly surged in her chest, distress mixed with anger, as if the trembling in his soul was felt by her!
More than a hundred lives were brutally murdered because of Concubine Mu's selfishness, leaving those left in this world struggling to survive with blood debts on their backs.
Qin Zeng was so heavy that she, an outsider, could only glimpse the tip of the iceberg, and how much pain and torture he himself must endure.
She raised her gaze and stabbed Mu Guifei fiercely. However, Mu Guifei seemed to have already had a thorn in her back and could no longer feel any more targets.
The face that was nearly forty but still beautiful seemed a little distorted at the moment. She gritted her teeth in a hoarse voice and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty! Do you really want to believe the Queen's words?"
The emperor ignored it. His knuckles turned white and he gripped the armrest tightly. His eyes were half closed, as if he was recalling the details of that year.
Queen Wang ordered: "Xirong, present the evidence to the emperor for review!"
Xirong had just hidden behind Su Rong, but now that she came forward, everyone noticed her.
Li Qingyi remembered that Qin Zeng once told her that Qin Zeng was being hunted and his wet nurse took him to escape from the Zhenbei Palace. However, the wet nurse was seriously injured and died soon after. Her daughter was older than Qin Zeng. Qin Zeng was older and led him to hide among the beggars for a while until the emperor found them. After that, Qin Zeng took on the identity of a young eunuch and hid in the palace as a chamberlain accompanying the prince, while the wet nurse's daughter became a The maid next to Queen Wang was named Xirong. .
However, Li Qingyi only met Xirong a few times. Most of the time, Su Rong was with Queen Wang. Obviously Xirong had more important things to do. Now it seems that she is probably secretly looking for Mu in the palace.
Evidence of the concubine's crime.
Concubine Mu saw Xirong walking up to the emperor with something and wanted to stop it. However, things happened so suddenly recently that she was not prepared for anything.
Before the Fourth Prince takes action, the officials in this palace cannot expose themselves easily even if they are on their own side.
Right now, no one in this palace can even listen to her orders!
The emperor looked at the things in Xirong's hands carefully, and his expression became more and more gloomy.
Here, there are not only the causes and consequences of the Xiao family's corruption case and the Zhenbei Prince's rebellion case, but also the evidence that Concubine Mu has been targeting Qin Zeng for many years.
"The imperial concubine is really clever! For your own selfishness, it's not enough to harm the entire Xiao family. You have to kill her husband and children too!"
Concubine Mu still refused to admit it, "Your Majesty, I have never done this!"
She doesn't believe in any evidence. Everything she did back then has been lost in the long river of time, and the evidence has long been destroyed!
The emperor threw a stack of yellowed papers on Concubine Mu's face and said, "Concubine is so sure, why not take a look for yourself!"
Concubine Mu's face turned pale after being humiliated. She grabbed a piece of paper, and what came into view was her murder of Qin Zeng six years ago.
She suddenly raised her head and looked at Qin Zeng!
"You are just like that damn ghost girl of yours, you are still haunted!"
Everyone looked at Qin Zeng in surprise when they heard this.
I don't understand what Concubine Mu means.
Concubine Mu's next words cleared up everyone's doubts.
"I didn't realize it when you were young, but as you got older, your facial features became more and more like Xiao Lan's! Then I suddenly realized that you are actually her child!"
Qin Zeng's facial features were very similar to Xiao Lan's. Concubine Mu noticed his identity and became extremely angry in panic.
The emperor actually hid Qin Zeng with him. In addition to being obsessed with Xiao Lan, he must also be preventing others from attacking him.
And the person the emperor was guarding against was her!
How could Concubine Mu not be angry!
Over the years, she has tried every means to get rid of Qin Zeng, but she has failed, and Qin Zeng has all the evidence in his hands.
Compared to her anger, others looked shocked.
Qin Zeng is actually Xiao Lan's child? Then isn't he from the Gongsun family?
The courtiers and family members present were more or less friends with the current Princess of Zhenbei, and some had met Gongsun Yi, the eldest son of the Prince of Zhenbei.
Qin Zeng may not be interested in the position of Prince Zhenbei's heir apparent, but after today, once the matter is out, he thinks he must recognize his ancestors and return to the clan, so why don't the Prince's Palace of Zhenbei turn over?
Everyone looked at each other.
This is really surprising.
Concubine Mu sneered, "I admit that I have attacked Qin Zeng many times, but the Xiao family's corruption and Gongsun Jing's rebellion have nothing to do with me!"
Although the so-called evidence can prove the innocence of the Xiao family and Gongsun Jingzhi, it does not prove that she is the culprit!
