In the clear night sky, it was like a thunder exploded above his head. Emperor Xiaochun suddenly fell down on his chair, his face ashen.
God knows how much he wants a grandson. It is said in the world that those who kill too many people will affect their heirs. In his early years of war, many lives were slaughtered by the sword. Now that he is older, he is so afraid of people saying that he has cut off his descendants.
This was one of the reasons why he failed to declare it to his mouth and did not want Li Luansong to go to the battlefield again.
When I was young, I didn’t understand, but as I got older, there were more and more things I was taboo and afraid of.
There was no movement for a long time, and the little eunuch knelt on the ground not knowing what to do. The queen breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the cloak on the shelf and said:
"Concubine, please accompany your Majesty to have a look. A good person is gone just like that, eh."
His face was full of depression and frustration, and he opened his mouth but said nothing.
When the moon was missing, so were the people. As the time approached, the emperor and empress rushed to Prince Xian's mansion.
The lights were bright, and slaves were kneeling all over the yard. The blood on the ground seeped into the cracks of the bricks, polluting the color of the grass.
Zheng Wanren's hair was disheveled and she fell down on the brick floor in despair. Her eyes were swollen like peaches from crying, and her face was pale and bloodless, which looked even more terrifying in the deep night.
On the ground not far away, a corpse was covered under white linen. Li Luanfeng knelt beside the corpse and shed tears.
The queen walked towards the corpse. The night wind blew and lifted a corner of the linen cloth. She knelt down and stretched out her hand to lift it up and take a look, but Li Luanfeng stopped her with words:
"My dear, don't look at it. It looks horrible and dirty. I'm afraid it will stain my eyes."
The queen looked at him, her face slightly sad, but her eyes were aggressive.
She ignored him and didn't stop what she was doing. She only gently lifted a corner, took one look and made up her mind, and quickly put the cloth back.
The Queen was also the one who accompanied Emperor Xiaochun on the battlefield. While her husband was killing the enemy in the front, she would rescue the wounded in the rear. She had never seen such a scene. She even personally carried the corpses of her brothers who had fought for Daye through life and death. Just to give the dead a peaceful ending.
"I am not a noble concubine, not that delicate."
The queen's voice was calm, she got up and walked back to Emperor Xiaochun.
"What on earth is going on?" Emperor Xiaochun leaned over and asked the imperial concubine, "Why did you jump off the building so well?"
Zheng Wanren choked with sobs, her tears falling down, and her body was covered with moisture:
"Your Majesty, our grandson is gone. He was a fully formed male fetus."
She howled like a ghost, and the queen looked sideways and turned her face away.
"Your Majesty, I am guilty. I failed to take good care of your only grandson. I am sorry for Your Majesty."
She grasped the emperor's weakness, knowing how much he wanted to hold his grandson, and he would not say "heir" every word. Emperor Xiaochun closed his eyes tightly, and a tear slipped from the corner of his eye.
"Zheng Wanren." The queen couldn't stand it anymore and walked towards her, "Your Majesty is asking you something, your concubine should explain the matter clearly first."
"The Empress." Li Luanfeng turned around on his knees and knelt down to the Empress. "It's not that I didn't mean not to answer, but I'm just too sad. Please forgive me, Father."
The queen sneered and looked at him quietly. Li Luanfeng said: "Xueying has been in poor health since she was pregnant. In addition, she has been thinking about her son's situation day and night, and is always worried about her future. Her son has tried to persuade and comfort her many times, but in the end she has not been able to survive. Without justice, she really can’t be happy.”
The imperial concubine crawled over and wrapped her arms around Emperor Xiaochun's calf, "Your Majesty, Xueying has been in a bad mood and became depressed. Then she jumped out of the building out of thought. If Your Majesty restores Feng'er's title as soon as possible, this child..."
It’s a pity, it’s such a pity.
The queen sneered: "What do you mean, your majesty?"
"Why are you still saying such things at this time?" Zheng Wanren glared at the queen, "I am not your Majesty's grandson, but I am also your descendant. I was really sad, so I said the wrong thing. Your Majesty, can you understand me? I feel so sad."
She held the emperor's leg and shook it, making Emperor Xiaochun dizzy.
The queen couldn't stand it anymore and asked: "The imperial concubine just said that Mr. Zhou was depressed and ill. But as far as I know, Mr. Zhou ate and drank every day, covered with silk and satin, and was very lively. How could I not look at it? Like someone suffering from depression."
She shook her head regretfully and looked at Emperor Xiaochun: "Your Majesty, it's better not to be too busy feeling sad. It's more serious to figure out the whole story."
Zheng Wanren asked anxiously: "What do you mean by this? Could it be that my concubine killed the Zhou family?"
After saying that, there was another ghost howl, "Your Majesty, that is our grandson, Daye's first grandson..."
This was Emperor Xiaochun's weakness, and she knew it all too well.
"Okay, okay, shut up." The queen couldn't bear it any longer. She pointed at Zheng Wanren and said, "Don't think you can get away with it by exploiting His Majesty's weaknesses. Let me ask you, when did she die and why did she wait until nightfall?" Come to report?"
Emperor Xiaochun said nothing and looked up at Zheng Wanren. He was very sad. He also wanted to know what was going on.
Zheng Wanren met Emperor Xiaochun's eyes and knew she couldn't escape, so she choked and said: "After dinner, she said she wanted to come here to enjoy the breeze and see the night view. She also said she wouldn't let us accompany her, so I didn't worry too much. Who I found out that she stood for a while and then jumped down. As soon as I found out about it, I sent someone to report it."
"I'm afraid your concubine is not telling the truth." The queen had expected that she would say this and exposed her on the spot, "I once followed your majesty to the battlefield and saw many dead people. Zheng Wanren, go and see for yourself, the blood stains They are all dried up, the color has turned black, and there are corpse spots all over the body. Did they just jump from the building? They should have been there in at least half a day."
"His Majesty……"
"Father..."
The imperial concubine, mother and son all asked for help, but were stopped by Emperor Xiaochun, who looked at Zheng Wanren with sad and sharp eyes:
"Can your concubine bear the crime of deceiving the emperor?"
Zheng Wanren fell to the ground, her face getting paler. She knew that the emperor was really angry.
Of course, dodder flowers have the ability of dodder flowers.
The next moment, the imperial concubine fainted with a "ouch", and Li Luanfeng rushed to the mother-in-law. There was another chaotic scene that made people go numb. Emperor Xiaochun sighed heavily, frowned and closed his eyes.

On the other side, Shen Que also received the news and planned to go to Prince Xian's Mansion to have a look, but was grabbed by Li Luansong's sleeve.
"I am coming too."
Shen Que said: "Isn't His Highness drunk? It's better to stay and rest."
Li Luansong hurriedly put on his shoes and clothes: "I've sobered up, and Yuanyuan took good care of me. I sobered up so quickly."
He is someone who can pretend to be stupid. Shen Que shook his head helplessly and the two of them went out together.
Shen Que was sitting on the carriage, and Li Luansong stood by the window, lifted the curtain and took her hand and told her: "You go over first and let the imperial doctor do an autopsy. First, stabilize the situation so that the father will not be too sad. I will go find someone." "
Shen Que asked who he was.
Li Luansong said: "The child's biological father, only he can completely remove this fig leaf."
Shen Que took a breath and asked in surprise: "Is it... Zhang Chengru?"
Li Luansong nodded, and seeing that she was still calm, he asked: "Do you feel uncomfortable because he has a child? You are my fiancée now. If it weren't for our father not coming back, I would not have let him go." You're staying at Zhang's house..."
Look, he is really trying to get up to this point all the time. Shen Zhe was too lazy to argue with him and hurriedly said:
"Then I'll go over quickly, please be careful on the road, Your Highness."
He pulled down the curtain and urged the coachman to run away.
Behind him, Li Luansong looked at the back of her carriage and smiled brightly. The blush on her face and the unignorable tremor in her eyes were deeply engraved in his heart.
She was panicked, which meant that she cared about him, so it was different if he overshadowed him.
Zhang Mansion.
Zhang Chengru fell to the ground after hearing the news. He had only met Zhou Xueying a few days ago. She was still so high-spirited and aggressive, but now...
He even thought about making her angry, but now, he never had the chance.
"She will not commit suicide, let alone jump off a building." Zhang Chengru muttered in despair, "She will become a princess with this child, but that is my child, it is mine."
Li Luansong finally heard what he wanted to hear and asked, "Are you sure?"
Zhang Chengru said yes, "Others will make mistakes, but my children will never make mistakes. It was them, they killed my children."
His canthus was about to burst, his eyes were bloodshot, and veins were bulging on his forehead, as if he could eat someone in the next moment.
"Zhang Chengru, if you are still a man, go and ask for justice for Zhou Xueying." Li Luansong looked at him and felt more and more that he was a coward, "Even if Zhou Xueying has evil intentions and knows that he is your child, he still pretends to be a royal heir to deceive everyone, but, then The child is innocent and this is a life."
Zhang Chengru looked at him and cried bitterly: "But what can I do? That is the wise king, and the noble concubine, who can I fight with?"
"If you can't fight, why don't you fight? Are you giving up your own flesh and blood?" Li Luansong was really angry. "If it were me, even if we fight to the death, I will not let go of the person who killed my loved ones. people."
"Boss."
Behind Zhang Chengru, Mrs. Gu came over with her whole family.
"A man is upright and cannot defend his own flesh and blood, so how can he live with dignity in this world?"
"Brother, go ahead and tell your Majesty the truth. We are not afraid of the noble concubine's plot."
…
When Li Luansong arrived at Prince Xian's Mansion, the imperial concubine had fainted and woke up countless times. She was lying on her back in her son's arms, breathing heavily.
Li Luansong brought Zhang Chengru in with the help of the imperial physician's name tag.
Zhang Chengru was unexpectedly calm in front of Emperor Xiaochun. Perhaps he had really figured it out. He leaned over to salute, glanced at Li Luanfeng and Zheng Wanren, and said:
"Your Majesty, the common people Zhang Chengru exposed that the wise king collaborated with the noble concubine to kill Zhou Xueying and her unborn baby. Your Majesty, that is the child of the common people. It is them. The mother and son knew this, but they still pretended to be the royal heirs and confuse the holy people. Just for the sake of In order to gain glory, the common people ask Your Majesty to make the decision, and there is justice for the loss of the child."
As soon as she finished speaking, the imperial concubine Zheng Wanren had no idea where she got the strength to break free from Li Luanfeng's arm and rushed towards Zhang Chengru with all her teeth and claws:
"You are a pariah, you are a slanderer, I will kill you today."
