Even so, we must not give up without concrete evidence.
The imperial concubine was pulled away by the crowd, but she still kept crying and complaining. Li Luanfeng glared at Zhang Chengru fiercely. If he hadn't been in front of the emperor and empress, he would have almost gone up and tore him apart.
The palace was in chaos. Emperor Xiaochun lowered his head and rested his forehead. Shen Que asked someone to carry the body down. He also winked at the imperial doctors, who quietly withdrew.
Seeing Li Luansong, Shen Que stepped forward to greet him. The two of them bowed to the emperor and empress side by side: "Father, empress, empress, I have something to report to my father, empress, and empress today."
The two looked at each other, and Li Luansong said: "Your Majesty, you came to me and told me not to listen to the Queen Mother, but to choose her son, oh, His Highness the King Xian. When I asked her, His Highness the King Xian was still in prison. Ah, the imperial concubine said, 'leave the mother and leave the son', the father, the emperor, and the queen must all know what happened."
He shouted smoothly, and the emperor and empress heard it well. Only Shen Que's face turned red to his neck.
Now they were facing each other. Emperor Xiaochun looked at the imperial concubine: "Take someone else's child and pretend to be my grandson, just to get your son out of prison. What next?"
The emperor was furious, "We will continue to fight for the throne step by step, and finally kill our father and regicide to seize the throne, right?"
This is really serious, but it's not wrong.
The queen thought to herself, look, she knows everything in her heart but refuses to face it. She should face up to where she is today.
The imperial concubine naturally refused to admit it. She cried and howled and complained, saying that she knew nothing and how could she have such twists and turns. Then she began to beg pitifully for mercy, talking about the first time she met His Majesty, and those things. The romantic beauty of the past, saying that Your Majesty is the hero in my heart, how could it be possible that I admire and respect Your Majesty so much...
The queen closed her eyes, but she was so sick that she nudged Emperor Xiaochun with her elbow: "Why is Your Majesty so energetic today? Shouldn't he faint?"
Emperor Xiaochun looked at the queen, as if waking up from a dream, and quickly raised his forehead and said: "Yes, I have been feeling uncomfortable for a long time. Concubine, please stop howling. My ears are ringing from your shouting."
Seeing the end of the road, Li Luanfeng still didn't give up and stepped forward: "Father, are you so biased? Your son and mother and concubine don't know this fact. I think it must be Zhang Chengru who hooked up with Zhou Xueying and then framed his son. Father." You think, you took away his official career, he is a useless person, isn't he the one who jumped over the wall, maybe he and Zhou Xueying teamed up to deceive his son."
"Your Highness the King Xian, are you trying to kill the donkey?" Zhang Chengru glared at him, "Yes, Xueying and I have always been very good, and even after she was with you, you still used her to seduce me and make me stand. Come out and accuse Prince Jin of having an affair with my wife. In fact, you have known for a long time that the child is not yours, so you want to use my child for your own benefit. Xueying, there is no way she could have committed suicide. You must have killed her."
"Father, don't listen to him, I don't know anything about this." Li Luanfeng argued.
"Of course you know, because all this is your trap and designed by you."
The two were arguing endlessly, one voice louder than the other, making people confused.
"Here comes someone." Li Luanfeng ordered the Royal Guards, "Why are you still standing there? Drag this man out and beat him to death with sticks. Quick, quick."
The Imperial Guard hesitated and was about to step forward, but was stopped by the Queen:
"I wonder who dares. Your Majesty is sitting here. When will it be your turn, Li Luanfeng, to give orders?"
However, both sides insist on their own opinions, which is really difficult to handle.
At this time, the imperial doctor came forward and said a few words to Shen Que. Emperor Xiaochun saw it and asked, "What's the matter with you over there?"
Shen Que stepped forward and said: "Father, when I came here just now, I ordered the imperial doctor to conduct an autopsy, and now the results have come out."
She turned around and glanced at the imperial concubine and Li Luanfeng, "Why don't we announce it in front of everyone, so that some people can give up their minds."
The autopsy results were both expected and somewhat unexpected.
Zhou Xueying died in the afternoon, four hours after reporting to the emperor. It was the imperial concubine who lied first. Secondly, what no one expected was that the child in Zhou Xueying's belly actually belonged to the wise king Li Luanfeng.
Zhang Chengru was stunned, Li Luanfeng was also stunned, and the emperor and empress were also stunned. No one expected it.
I'm afraid Zhou Xueying herself wouldn't have thought that this child's real surname was Li. If she found out, she would regret it to death.
Zheng Wanren was stunned for a while, then rushed to Li Luanfeng, shook him and asked like crazy: "Didn't you say that this child is not yours? What is going on?"
"The mother-in-law made a mistake."
Li Luanfeng roared in pain, the cry was angry and desperate. Only then did Zheng Wanren realize that everything was indefensible, and fell to the ground, dumbfounded and about to cry without tears.
Shen Que said: "The imperial doctor also made another discovery. The deceased Zhou Xueying held a broken gold bracelet in her palm. Father, can you recognize it?"
Emperor Xiaochun took it doubtfully, and the queen glanced at it and sneered: "Of course I recognize it. Your Majesty personally gave it to the imperial concubine for her birthday a few months ago. The imperial concubine takes it with her to show off to me every day."
Zheng Wanren came back to her senses and subconsciously touched the gold bracelet on her left wrist. Sure enough, it was gone, and there was a bruise and scratch on her wrist. It seemed that Zhou Xueying had pulled it hard when she fell from a height. He took away the concubine's bracelet and scratched his arm.
All the truth has been revealed. No amount of explanations and tears are useless. Now the emperor and empress believe that the imperial concubine and Li Luanfeng conspired to use the child in Zhou Xueying's belly for profit. Zhou Xueying saw through and killed her.
Emperor Xiaochun was furious and walked up to Zheng Wanren. Looking at the woman he had loved for more than twenty years, he felt filled with hatred and helplessness. Finally, a heavy slap fell on Zheng Wanren's face, knocking her to the ground. Blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.
"I treat you well, why do you do it again and again? Is it because I love you so much?" The emperor said sadly, "From now on, Li Luanfeng will be deprived of his title and imprisoned for life. The imperial concubine will be thrown into the cold palace and will not be allowed to leave in this life."
He finally made up his mind to face this vicious mother and son.
The imperial concubine sat up in shock, rushed over with red eyes, grabbed Emperor Xiaochun's clothes tightly, and cursed:
"Li San, you idiot, I've been serving you for so many years, and you've treated me like this." She gritted her teeth, wishing she could bite the man in front of her in the next second, "No matter how I've treated you these years, you've always been on my mind. This bitch."
She pointed at the queen and said: "What's so good about her? She's vulgar and reckless. Didn't I treat you badly? Isn't Feng'er good enough? Why did you treat our mother and son like this? You are working together, and my brother is still fighting for you outside, going through life and death." , but you are here to kill our two mothers, you are called killing the donkey, crossing the river and burning the bridge, just wait, there will be a day you regret..."
Emperor Xiaochun was shaking with anger, rolled his eyes, and really fainted.
"Li San, you villain, you are a fool, you..." Zheng Wanren broke the jar and was still cursing hysterically.
"Okay, okay." The queen interrupted her, "He has fainted and can't hear. Save your energy."
After saying that, he asked someone to take the mother and son down.
The farce ended. Emperor Xiaochun woke up, and the queen stepped forward to help him: "Your Majesty, let's go back. The wine is not finished yet. I have cooked two delicious dishes and they have not been served yet."
Emperor Xiaochun nodded: "It's the queen who returns the favor."
The night was thick, and the spring breeze blew away the strong smell of blood. The originally peaceful and peaceful night was so disturbed that it was completely chaotic.
The couple walked in front of each other. On the one hand, Emperor Xiaochun hated the heinous mother and son, but on the other hand, he still felt a little sorry for the "emperor's grandson" who had already taken shape. His face looked gloomy and he couldn't cheer up.
The queen quietly pinched him under her clothes: "Your Majesty, your son and wife are watching from behind. Don't think about your fateless grandson. Cheer up and don't let the children see the joke."
Emperor Xiaochun: ...don’t they make too many jokes about me?
He wanted to think about it, but as an emperor and a father, he should still behave the same. He tilted his head and glanced at his daughter-in-law through the moon. She was gentle and demure, following her son. She was really a talented man and a good-looking woman, and she was very suitable.
This person quickly became energetic and lowered his voice and said: "The queen also urged them to hurry up so that they can make up for the sadness in my heart."
The queen nodded silently, exchanged positions in a wrong step, walked to Shen Que, and whispered: "Son, the last time the queen mother met Yuanyuan alone, the queen mother was really satisfied, so we chose her, and your father also felt very good about it. good."
After saying that, he smiled at Li Luansong who was walking aside, and continued to lower his voice and said to Shen Que: "Didn't I say that the God of Wealth is not in the capital recently? Your father said that we will propose marriage when he comes back. You hurry up and have a baby. , your father can’t wait any longer..."
Shen Que was speechless and said, "Mother, now seems not the time to talk about this."
The Queen disdainfully said: "Why is this not the right time? What do other people's affairs have to do with us? I'll leave it to you today. My parents want to have a grandson. It's up to you..."
After speaking, he quickly caught up with Emperor Xiaochun and left without looking back.
Shen Que was stunned when Li Luansong came over, took a look at her face, and asked, "What's wrong? What did the queen mother tell you?"
"Your Highness." Shen Que looked at him, "When did it happen?"
Li Luansong blinked and immediately understood that she was referring to the meeting with the queen.
I couldn't admit it directly, so I started rambling: "When will we get married? Didn't we say that we have to wait for our father to come back?"
"Your Highness knows that's not what I'm asking." Shen Que pretended to be angry and asked, "What did you say when you met the empress in my name?"
"Ah, what, what did you say, I don't remember. Oh, look, Yuanyuan, the moon is so beautiful tonight."
"Why don't you dig a hole for me? The food is ready and waiting for me to sit down."
"What kind of table? Do you have a table to eat? I like eating at a table the most."
"Your Highness."
"Eh."
"Li Luansong."
"Eh."
One chased, the other ran, the other fought, and the other made Yue'er bend over with laughter.
"I want to go bury Zhou Xueying."
"Okay, I'll accompany you."
"Well, but... Li Luansong, how many things have you done behind my back that I don't know about..."
"No more, really no more."
…
Behind him, a lonely man looked at the happy couple in trance, looking up at the moon, feeling increasingly depressed.
