In fact, there was no need for Xie Shen to send personal correspondence. After learning that the Huangshaling incident was caused by the queen's daughter, Xie Shoufu sent someone to keep an eye on the interrogation.
When Xie Shen personally arrived at Xie's Mansion, Xie Chief Fu had already got into the carriage heading to the palace. However, the bodyguard sent by the prince was intercepted by several men in black in a dark alley and knocked to the ground.
Therefore, when the group of people arrived at the palace gate, the queen realized that Liu He had actually identified her.
She was so angry that she immediately smashed a tea set, "You bitch slave, how dare she, how dare you do this to me, come and kill her children."
She never expected that Liu He would dare to betray her.
"Your Majesty, no." The man in black knelt down and advised, "If something happens to Liu He's children at this time, Your Majesty will not be able to explain it clearly.
The empress needs to calm down and wait a little longer. When the matter is over, the empress wants to take care of some of their problems and just raise her hand.
Now, the empress only needs to calm down and deal with Liu He's accusations. Fortunately, there is no evidence for those things at the beginning, so the empress does not need to panic. "
Although he was so comforted, the man in black himself felt unsure.
After hearing what the man in black said, the queen slowly calmed down, but when she thought that someone who always looked after her would bite her back, she was so angry that she smashed another set of tea cups.
"Come here, help me dress up." The queen ordered in a loud voice.
Hearing that Concubine Shu was back, she wanted to see what kind of trouble a crazy woman would stir up when she came back.
Seeing this, the man in black lowered his eyes and retreated.
But I felt a little uneasy in my heart.
When she was young, the empress was smart and capable, but she would lose her cool only when she met Concubine Shu. Now, after so many years, she still couldn't stay rational when Concubine Shu was mentioned again.
The empress has had such a smooth life these years that she has lost the vigilance and intelligence she should have.
Liu He all identified it in public. Even if there was no evidence, Yu's reputation was not good.
What's more, she keeps saying that a child is still alive. If she can leave a child behind her back, does that leave evidence?
The empress was still thinking about dressing up, but she was still concerned about the time when she lost the imperial favor to Concubine Shu.
But now that the prince is twenty, the love between his children back then is nothing compared to the future of the prince and the honor that the empress will have as the queen mother in the future.
The man in black had a lot of slander in his heart, but he didn't dare to say a word.
When the queen was dressing up carefully, the emperor had already sent people to remind her twice before she slowly headed to the political hall.
In the political hall.
Liu He knelt down and took the initiative to admit that General Protector had indeed sent Yan Qing to Ganzhou to mobilize troops, but at that time they received instructions from the queen, who did not allow them to send troops for reinforcements.
In order to prevent the matter from being exposed, they sent people to hunt down Yan Qing.
Xie Shoufu immediately asked, "Is there any evidence?"
He has asked the secret guard leaders around his daughter, and they have no clue about this matter.
Liu He smiled bitterly. She was loyal to the Queen at that time and indeed left no evidence. In addition, after the messenger showed her the Queen's personal letter, he burned it on the spot.
However, "Yan Qing was very skilled, but our people failed to kill him. He fled to Yongzhou and was a secret guard beside the Queen. He beheaded Yan Qing in a mountain col outside Yongzhou City.
Your Majesty can check the comings and goings of the secret guards around the empress during that period, and you will know whether this is true or not. "
"It's extremely ridiculous." The queen happened to arrive outside the government hall.
She walked in slowly, saluted the emperor, and then scolded, "I live deep in the harem, how do I know that the people of Beiling will ambush General Wei?
If you don’t know, how can I instruct you to harm others? As for trying to throw dirty water on me based on the whereabouts of the secret guard, it is even more ridiculous.
Three years ago, Wudan surrendered, and the prince went to Wudan to sign a letter of surrender. As the prince's mother, I would naturally care about my children, so I sent out the secret guards around me to protect the prince. "
After saying that, she turned to look at the emperor, "Your Majesty, Liu He colluded with Beiling. Now that the matter has been exposed, he is trying to frame me. It is really hateful and hateful. I ask your Majesty to avenge General Wei and return my concubine." clean."
After speaking, she looked around the hall.
The person in the impression was not found.
The queen frowned, didn't she say that Concubine Shu was also here?
"How did the empress know that the Beiling people would ambush the general who protected the country? The sinful woman does not know, but my master did so under the order of the empress."
Liu He covered his injured eyes and suddenly laughed at himself, "My master has no enmity with the general protecting the country. If not, why would he do this? As for receiving the 50,000 taels, we only received the order from the empress.
Since we are determined to obey the Queen's orders, we are the enemy of the General Protector. Only if she is dead can we not cause trouble for us later. At this time, Beiling sent us 50,000 taels and asked us to stand by and watch. We have the same idea as the Queen. We don't want this money. Don’t want it for nothing. "
She knew that these words were too pale and could not cure the Queen of her sins, but she always had to say them out.
The prince and the Xie family were relieved after hearing this.
Liu He really has no evidence!
The queen was a little proud, and the corners of her lips curled up without leaving any trace.
Wei Qingyan, who was standing outside the palace pretending to be a guard of Prince Rong, had an idea in his mind.
She couldn't figure it out before, how the queen knew that the Beiling army was going to ambush him. As the queen of the Wei Dynasty, she would not collude with Beiling.
But just after listening to the queen's words, she had some ideas.
The queen didn't allow Wu Yuchu to send troops to her because she wanted her dead. Did the queen have the idea of assassinating her before the Beiling people ambush and prevent her from returning to Beijing alive?
If this is the case, secret guards will be sent out early to pay close attention to her whereabouts. If she is ambushed by the Beiling people, the secret guards will be nearby.
The secret guard Fei Ge passed the message, and during the time she was dealing with Beiling, she had enough news to go back and forth.
There is another possibility.
The queen killed her to help the prince cut off Shi Yu.
After defeating Wudan, the emperor sent the prince to Wudan to take her place to negotiate the surrender with Wudan, and ordered her to return to Beijing to report on her duties.
The prince was worried that Wu Dan would not give up and cause trouble again, so he asked her to keep 80,000 National Guard troops, and she brought 20,000 National Guard troops back to Beijing.
If it was the prince who really wanted to kill her, he would also send someone to follow her. So he would know the situation at the first time, and he would inform the queen about it...
Wei Qingyan half-closed his eyes.
The fat monk said that the process of resolving resentments and demons is like peeling an onion. You always need to pull it out layer by layer to see clearly what's inside.
It is her obsession to find out what happened back then.
No matter what the truth is, the queen's hands are not clean. It's time to pull off this layer of onion skin. As for whether the layer inside is the prince, she can always find out.
Inside, Liu He finished explaining the Huangsha Ridge incident and changed the topic, "Your Majesty, the guilty woman knows that her sins are serious, but my child is innocent.
Please, your majesty, for the sake of raising the concubine Shu's child for you at the risk of offending the queen, will you spare my child's life? "
Concubine Shu was back, and the emperor listened to the eunuch's report when they entered the palace. Concubine Shu's child was still alive.
But he was determined to be a wise king who put national affairs first. In front of all the ministers, Liu Hexian said about Huangshaling, so he couldn't rush to ask about his children and Shu's concubine.
Finally, when Liu He took the initiative to speak, he quickly asked, "Where is Concubine Shu's child?"
Where is Concubine Shu?
"Please, Your Majesty, please spare the lives of my children for the sake of my careful raising of the little princess." Liu He insisted and begged on his knees.
"How dare you, Your Majesty, you can't threaten him." The Queen scolded angrily, "Your Majesty has seen with your own eyes what the child Concubine Shu gave birth to looked like. How dare you pretend to be the emperor's heir, a child you found somewhere? Such forcing Your Majesty."
The emperor gave him a cold look. No one else knew, but he knew best in his heart what the queen had done regarding Huangshaling.
He looked at Liu He and said, "If what you say is true, I will spare the lives of the Wu family children once it is found out that they are innocent."
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty." Liu He raised his hands in the air and gave a big salute on the ground. Then he mentioned that the queen was jealous that Concubine Shu was pregnant before her, so she bribed Wen Po and the maids around Concubine Shu, and used his finger to chop off the queen. Pi Xiaomao told Shu Concubine's children that they had been transferred to him.
"Nonsense. I was the Crown Princess in the beginning, but the concubine Shu gave birth to a child. He was also a bastard. Why do I need to be like this?" The queen still said calmly.
"You are evil-minded and want to do evil. What other reason do you need?" Lan Shu's voice suddenly sounded as she carried an old woman with a broken leg into the hall.
He bowed to the emperor on the throne and then looked at the queen, "Xie Yunmian, do you still recognize this person?"
