It turned out that after being imprisoned in the cold palace, Meng Guiren kept shouting that her child had been killed, crying and shouting, as if she was crazy. At night, she became even more violent, hitting the wall and hanging herself, saying that if the child died, she would no longer live.
"Does she think she can leave the cold palace by making such a fuss?" Yan Mu frowned.
The little eunuch wiped away the cold sweat, "She really left the cold palace after making such a fuss."
"What?"
"The emperor heard that Meng Guiren was about to commit suicide, so he took her back to Chengtian Palace in the middle of the night. According to the people in Chengtian Palace, the emperor felt very sorry for Meng Guiren and kept coaxing her. Meng Guiren shouted that the child was gone and she would not survive, and she was still making trouble. He was about to die. The Emperor had no choice but to have someone bring the cushion to try to tie Menggui back up again."
Yan Mu snorted, "Are you making up a story? Can such outrageous things happen?"
The little eunuch hurriedly said: "I don't dare, but it is indeed like this. Listen below, there are even more outrageous things."
Yan Mu's face darkened, "You tell me."
"Meng Guiren refused to tie up the cushion. He kept saying that the eldest princess had harmed her child and asked the eldest princess to return the child to her. The emperor coaxed her for a long time but failed to coax her. He summoned the eldest princess early in the morning and asked the eldest princess to give the child back to her. Mr. Meng, please tie the cushion back again."
"How could the eldest princess agree?"
"Yes, the eldest princess simply pretended to be sick and did not enter the palace."
"Then what?"
"Then the noble lady Meng wanted to take the scissors and commit suicide. While fighting with her, the emperor accidentally cut his hand. The imperial doctors have already gone to Chengtian Palace."
Yan Mu narrowed his eyes, "Meng Guiren hurt the emperor. This is not a small crime."
"But the emperor did not pursue it."
The emperor was injured, and Yan Mu had to show up.
"Let me enter the palace with you." Liu Yunxiang said.
"Are you worried about the eldest princess?"
"Well, this noble Meng must be pretending to be crazy. She has a grudge against the eldest princess and will definitely take revenge on her. You, the Emperor, and I, the eldest princess, cannot let noble Meng's conspiracy succeed."
Yan Mu nodded, "Okay."
Originally, this matter was serious enough, but when they entered the palace, they discovered that the matter was far more serious than they imagined.
At this time, outside Chengtian Palace, civil servants and military generals came. They jointly wrote to the emperor to put the overall situation of the country first, severely punish Meng Guiren, compensate the old sacrifice wine who died in vain, and calm the hearts of the officials and the people.
The main door of Chengtian Palace was closed, and the emperor issued three orders in a row to ask the ministers to leave the palace, but if they refused to leave, there would be a result.
At this time, the eldest princess was actually escorted. Several ministers hurriedly protected the eldest princess so that she was not dragged into the hall.
The palace door opened, and Meng Guiren ran out, holding the soft cushion in his arms.
Her hair was disheveled and she was only wearing a tube top gauze dress. She ran to the steps and looked at the people below. Her face suddenly turned from dull to cold and stern.
"My child is gone, are you happy?"
"You are all murderers, all of you!"
"I won't spare you, you all have to die!"
She pointed her hand at the people below, yelled several times, then cried and laughed, and even sang a ditty.
The ministers below looked at each other, and someone whispered: "Are you really crazy?"
"Like it's true."
"She was not pregnant in the first place. How could she say someone killed her child?"
"If she is really crazy, can you tell her the truth?"
"What if she's pretending to be crazy?"
"If she is pretending to be crazy, it will be even more difficult to explain."
She was making such a fuss that the emperor hurried out, pulled her into his arms, and coaxed her with gentle words.
"Meng'er, be good, come back with me, and I will return the child to you."
"My child is gone..." Meng Guiren cried and looked at the emperor, "He was killed...by..."
Meng Guiren turned his head and looked down, fixed his eyes on the eldest princess, and said with a sharp look, "It's her, she's the one who killed my child!"
The eldest princess was so angry that she took a step forward and shouted to the emperor: "Your Majesty, she is obviously pretending! I and these ministers are here to request that the emperor pursue the crime of Meng Guiren deceiving the emperor, and he must be put on death row! "
"Shut up!" The emperor shouted.
"Your Majesty, don't be confused!"
"Eldest Princess, if you hadn't been impulsive, nothing would have happened today!"
The eldest princess was stunned for a moment and looked at the emperor in disbelief, "She faked her pregnancy to deceive the emperor, and I exposed her, but it was my fault?"
"You can tell me about the fake pregnancy in private instead of exposing it in public." After saying that, the emperor looked at Meng Guiren with distress. Seeing that her eyes were red and swollen from crying, he glared at the eldest princess again, "Meng Guiren is just You love me so much and want to give me a child so much that you had hallucinations for a while, but it’s not a big mistake.”
"Isn't it a big mistake?" The eldest princess frowned, "What did she do? Has the emperor forgotten it?"
"I won't talk nonsense with you. Come up now and tie this cushion back to Mengguiren's belly to make her think that the child is not dead."
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar below.
The emperor is awake, and to say such crazy things while sober is simply terrifying.
The eldest princess couldn't believe it and was angry, "Absolutely impossible!"
"Are you going to disobey me?"
"how?"
"It's a capital crime!"
The eldest princess laughed when she heard this, "Your Majesty, you and I are siblings from the same mother, and now you actually want to kill me for this noble Meng."
"Your Majesty, please think twice before you act!"
"Your Majesty, please don't make the same mistake again and again!"
"Your Majesty, please punish Mr. Meng severely!"
The ministers below all stood up to speak for the eldest princess.
"Whoever dares to say another word will be punished by me immediately!" The emperor shouted angrily.
As soon as these words came out, the ministers lowered their heads one after another and shouted together: "I and others jointly submitted this report, asking the emperor to put the overall situation first and severely punish the noble Meng!"
"You, you all want to rebel!" the emperor shouted angrily.
"Your Majesty, our child is gone..." Meng Guiren lay in the Emperor's arms and cried loudly, "These people killed him...killed our child..."
Listening to these crazy words, the eldest princess was so angry that she immediately pulled out the sword of the guard next to her and stabbed the noble man Meng.
"I will kill you vixen today to avoid harming my glorious subjects!"
The eldest princess suddenly drew her sword, which caught the others by surprise. Under everyone's shock, the emperor protected Meng Guiren behind him and blocked it with his own body.
Seeing this, the eldest princess quickly sheathed her sword, but the emperor took the opportunity to kick her out.
This kick was filled with anger, and the eldest princess fell heavily to the ground.
"Come, Princess General..."
"Father!" Yan Mu hurriedly stepped forward and interrupted the emperor. "The eldest princess is indeed a little too impulsive, but because she is dedicated to her father, please spare her."
"Prince, you and the eldest princess seem to get along very well!" The emperor said solemnly.
"The eldest princess is your aunt. She always teaches your sons to respect their father. She said that she and you lost your mother when you were young and suffered humiliation in the palace. If the Queen Mother hadn't raised you two under her knees, I'm afraid She did not live to reach adulthood. Later, after the war, she, the elder sister, would rather abandon her daughter than abandon the emperor. People say that an eldest sister is like a mother, which is probably the eldest princess's affection for her father."
After saying that, Yan Mu raised his head slightly and saw Meng Guiren leaning on the emperor's arms, looking at him with a cunning look in his eyes.
What on earth is she going to do?
