Emperor Wu's expression remained unchanged, "Oh? What did Mr. Wen tell you?"
Wen Ming raised his head, his face full of fear, but also as if he had made a lot of determination. He took a deep breath and said, "Return to the emperor. After the death of the late emperor, the younger brother's adoptive father came to see the younger brother and told him about his fate." Not long ago, but he was unwilling to die. Because he couldn't bear that the late emperor's death was so unclear, and the murderer was at large. His adoptive father had been serving the late emperor since he was a child, and he had a deep affection. He was also the person who knew the late emperor best. The emperor is a man who values friendship and justice, but his deep affection was given to that cruel and ruthless woman..."
Wen Ming seemed to have figured something out, so he spoke without any scruples. Over the years, he has been hiding in Tibet, fearing that the Queen Mother's people would find him. But my life was saved, but I no longer lived like a human being...
"It was the empress at that time, who is now the empress dowager, who gave the late emperor a chronic poison. At first, the late emperor did not know about it, but soon he discovered the clues. The late emperor noticed something was wrong with his body, and asked the imperial doctor to check and found that he had been poisoned. Poison. After extensive investigation, it was discovered that a chronic poison called Chilian was put into the health tea that the late emperor drank every day, and this health tea was personally delivered by the Queen Mother every day."
Everyone had different expressions. Although they had suspicions, they found it difficult to face it after it was confirmed.
Xiao Nan's eyes were red, "I knew it, I knew it must be that woman, how could she be so cruel, the late emperor was so good to her, he wanted to tear out his heart to give it to her, but she was so ignorant, ungrateful."
Xiao Yuntian patted his shoulder and looked at Wen Ming, "Since the late emperor has discovered it, isn't it possible that the imperial doctor can't cure him? Why did he end up..."
Wen Ming looked at Emperor Wu, his lips trembling, "The late emperor...Although the late emperor already knew about it, he still continued to drink the health tea brought by the Queen Mother every day, and did not let the imperial doctor detoxify him. The late emperor said... The late emperor said that if she really wants my life, then give it to her. This is the last thing I can give her. Anyway, I will never be cruel to her."
Everyone in the room was silent. No one knew what kind of mood the late emperor had when he drank cup after cup of poisonous tea. It's so sad that the emperor of a dynasty, the emperor above tens of thousands of people, could be so infatuated and end up like this.
Emperor Wu's clenched fists were trembling slightly, and his voice was hoarse, "Why? Why did she do that?"
Wen Ming's legs were a little numb when he was kneeling. He moved a little, "Because the late emperor was suspicious of the identity of the imperial master."
"National Division?"
"Yes, the Imperial Preceptor." Wen Ming responded calmly, but then said something that shocked everyone, "The Emperor may not know, and maybe no one else in the room knows that the Imperial Preceptor is actually the child of the Queen Mother and the late Emperor. The emperor’s brother.”
"What?" Everyone was shocked.
Xiao Nan was the first to retort, with an extremely ugly face, "Impossible, this is absolutely impossible. The emperor is the first and only child of the late emperor and the queen mother."
Emperor Wu also had a gloomy expression, and the veins on his forehead were beating faintly.
Wen Ming smiled bitterly, "Haha, everyone must not believe it. When I heard the news, I was extremely shocked and couldn't believe it. But this is the fact." He looked at Xiao Yuntian, "Old Prince, when the emperor wanted You were also present when he was canonized as a national advisor. Everyone was against it, including you. However, the late emperor defied all opinions and made such a young man a national advisor and gave him military talismans. The old prince had no doubts. ?”
Xiao Yuntian seemed to be recalling, "It is true. At that time, the late emperor wanted to appoint an unheard-of young man as a national advisor for no reason, and the courtiers were all shocked. But the opposition was ineffective. The late emperor insisted on this, and did not listen to anyone's words, so he made two consecutive remarks The imperial edict made that young man become a national advisor and hold military power. In an instant, he became a person above thousands of people."
"Yes, how could the late Emperor do this to a stranger for no reason? And everyone knows how close the Queen was to the Imperial Master at that time, so the Emperor should also be aware of it."
Emperor Wu was also lost in memories at this time. He remembered that when he had just been established as the prince, he went to the queen's palace to have a meal with his mother, but he saw the queen and the imperial master drinking tea in the pavilion.
The man in white, wearing a mask, had an extraordinary temperament that made people's eyes bright.
At that time, the Queen asked the Imperial Master in a loving tone that Emperor Wu had never heard before, "It's getting cold recently. The Imperial Master should remember to put on more clothes when he goes out. Why did he come here wearing so little?"
"It's okay, I don't feel cold. I care about you, Mrs. Lao."
"Then please be careful. Don't be so wanton just because you are young. You will be better off when you get older." The queen glared at him, but her eyes were caring.
"Yes, yes, I know, I will pay attention next time."
······
Emperor Wu didn't know how he left. At that time, he just felt depressed. When he saw the look in his mother's eyes and the tone when he spoke to the imperial master just now, his biological son had never experienced it in many years.
"Then... what about me? Who am I?" Emperor Wu was a little confused.
"The emperor is naturally the child of the late emperor and the son of the emperor." Wen Ming said firmly, "In fact, the emperor does not need to doubt that your appearance is that of the late emperor, and there is no doubt about your identity. However, you are not the child of the Queen Mother. Yours My mother was a maid in the Queen Mother's palace at that time. Because the late emperor was drunk once, he... So, the emperor has no doubt about your identity. The late emperor and the queen mother are both clear about this. .”
Emperor Wu's throat was a little dry. He shook his head with a wry smile and leaned back, "Haha, why did the late emperor and the queen mother pass the throne to me? Why did they declare that I was their child, their only child. Why didn't they make it public? The identity of the national master..." Emperor Wu felt a little pain in his head, and all the doubts were lingering in his heart, making him extremely suffocated.
"Actually, the Imperial Master is only two days older than the Emperor. Two days after the Empress Dowager gave birth, the palace maid also gave birth to a son, the Emperor. But..." Wen Ming dropped another one that shocked everyone. Unbelievable information, "Hey, the prince born to the queen was born with a disability. He is... a natural eunuch." Wen Ming closed his eyes in despair.
At this moment, no one knew what to say. How could this happen?
"This is a huge scandal for the royal family. But the late emperor couldn't bear it. No matter what, it was his own child and he wanted to keep it by his side. But, haha, the queen mother disagreed. She said that she was the queen mother of a country, How could she rule the Sixth Palace if people knew she had given birth to such a... such a disability? How could she be a mother to the world? The late emperor had no choice but to send the prince out of the palace according to the Queen Mother's request and arrange for a trustworthy person. Take care of me. And the emperor naturally became the child of the Queen Mother, the only prince of the late Emperor and the Queen Mother."
