As if he had found gold, Cui Lin couldn't wait to ask: "Mrs. Zhao, did you mean that General Zhao met people from the Lu family last night?"
Mrs. Zhao nodded.
Zhao Yuanlang was anxious: "Yueshi, what are you talking about? I didn't see anyone last night, and what about the Lu family? You are crazy..."
"Shut up!"
An Dichen shouted: "Zhao Yuanlang, do you have to have someone block your mouth so that you can be quiet?"
Zhao Yuanlang looked pale.
Andy said sternly: "Continue."
Mrs. Zhao trembled and whispered: "I heard your husband say that he has already discussed it with Mr. Lu, and said that with the Lu family's backing, things will definitely happen. He said that the Lu family doesn't know what leverage they have against your majesty to call him." After repeatedly giving in, even if the Lu family is involved in the incident, the Zhao family will not be in serious trouble."
"I was only a little shocked at the time, but I didn't think much about it. I am the wife of the Zhao family, so naturally I want the good of the Zhao family. But who knew that my husband would ask the old lady in the next sentence and say that he really wanted to give up Yinxuan."
Emperor An's face turned dark when he heard that the Lu family was holding him back, and he had already suspected the Lu family. Now, although Mrs. Zhao's words were unclear, she didn't know what the Zhao family had promised to the Lu family.
But Emperor An subconsciously felt that the Lu family had bad intentions.
Mrs. Zhao didn't know what Emperor An was thinking. She only noticed that His Highness's air pressure was low. She was already extremely weak due to poisoning, and now her voice was even softer.
"The old lady scolded her husband, saying that big things are not limited to trivial matters. She also said that Yinxuan was useless without her innocence. The fourth prince saw that he was also a waste. Yinxuan's life would not only damage the reputation of the girls in the house, but also bring shame to the Zhao family. Half a benefit.”
"The old lady said that it would be better to exchange a useless daughter for the Lu family's favor, and to use Yinxuan's life in exchange for Xiao Yan's life according to the Lu family's method. They... they want to kill Yinxuan and blame the Privy Council and Xiao Du. Lord, he also said that he would blame Governor Xiao for what happened at Lingyun Temple."
"There are people in the Lu family in the Imperial Medical Office, and His Majesty is very suspicious. As long as you make you suspect that his injuries are fake, deliberately delaying the affairs of Lingyun Temple and disrupting the government's attempt to seize power for selfish purposes, he will lose His Majesty's trust. If the time comes to make His Majesty suspect the incident of rescuing the driver that day, arrange for witnesses to come forward in advance."
"His Majesty will be furious, and they will find a way to seize the Privy Council from Governor Xiao..."
"presumptuous!"
After hearing Mrs. Zhao's words, Emperor An suddenly looked at the Zhao family, his face full of anger: "Zhao Yuanlang, you are so brave!!"
"Your Majesty, does your Majesty have any ministers?" Zhao Yuanlang knelt on the ground with an anxious face: "The ministers have never said these things. They are just fabricated by the Yue family."
Mrs. Zhao also said sternly: "Yue family, my Zhao family treats you badly, how dare you wrongly harm me and Yuen Long, when did I tell him this?!"
Mrs. Zhao burst into tears, looked at the two of them and said tremblingly: "I wronged you? Then why did you drug me and why did you trap me in the house?"
"During this period, after Yinxuan was imprisoned, you ignored me and gave me a cold face if I even mentioned it. I begged you to save Yinxuan, but you ignored me. When I entered the palace to ask for His Majesty, you found out and got scolded."
"I am running around, but you are not even willing to visit Yinxuan. I know you don't care about a useless fourth prince, but she is my daughter, the treasure I gave birth to in ten months of pregnancy. She Even if I did something wrong, I would rather sacrifice my life to pay for hers!"
After she finished speaking, she looked up at An Di and said tremblingly:
"Your Majesty, I know that my goddaughter is not good, but Yinxuan already knows that she is wrong. She was also deceived and used, and her innocence was ruined at Lingyun Temple."
"I beg you to save Yinxuan, please, I am willing to die for her, I beg you..."
Mrs. Zhao struggled to get up and kowtowed on the ground. She was obviously extremely weak, but her kowtow movements were extremely heavy.
Every blow hit the hearts of everyone in the hall.
Seeing her excitement, Tang Ning quickly grabbed Mrs. Zhao, knelt beside her and raised her head, fearing that she would be poisonous.
"Your Majesty, Tang Ning is not qualified to speak in the palace, but the affairs of Lingyun Temple are related to me after all."
"The fourth prince concubine plotted against me, but in the end she lost herself in it. Tang Ning hated her, but she also sympathized with her. She was just too infatuated and couldn't distinguish between people. She only wanted to help the people she loved, so she was taken advantage of by others. Against being set up."
"For a woman, being humiliated in public like that is enough to teach her a lesson. Tang Ning implores Your Majesty to pardon the fourth princess for the sake of Mrs. Zhao's motherly heart, so as not to let her be used by others again. thing."
The hall was extremely quiet for a moment. Looking at Mrs. Zhao who was crying and begging, the Zhao family members looked pale, while Cao Dejiang and the others had complicated expressions.
"Princess Xiangning, don't you know that the fourth princess is dead?" Feng Qiuli whispered.
Tang Ning's eyes suddenly widened: "Dead...how could..."
She was at a loss: "I met Mrs. Zhao just after I came out of Rongsheng Academy. After being chased, I met Commander Yu. I... I don't know..."
Cui Lin looked at Madam Zhao who was also stunned with pity: "Mrs. Zhao came into the palace this morning and begged the Queen Mother, saying that the fourth princess was wronged and begging for mercy on her granddaughter."
"The Empress Dowager is soft-hearted. Your Majesty saw that Governor Xiao was seriously injured and there was no one in charge of the Privy Council. The matter at Lingyun Temple had not been resolved for a long time, so he asked people from the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple to help investigate. Who knew that when they went there, the fourth prince's concubine had already been arrested? His neck was strangled, and he died in the Privy Prison."
"Mrs. Zhao actually doesn't know?"
Mrs. Zhao staggered and fell to the ground: "Impossible, impossible, how could Yinxuan die...how could she die..."
Although Cui Lin hated Xiao Yan, the Lu family was what he feared the most. He didn't expect that the Lu family would be involved in the Zhao family's mess, and he continued regardless of Mrs. Zhao's pale face.
"I heard that the fourth prince's death was pitiful. After being killed, she pretended to hang herself. She left a confession and tied her neck and hung it on the cell door. When Mrs. Zhao and the others saw this, they were so distraught that they made a fuss in the Privy Council. She came into the palace and begged Your Majesty to give her justice."
Mrs. Zhao was shaken, first in disbelief, and then her face turned as white as paper.
"No wonder they locked me up in the house, no wonder they wanted my life..."
She couldn't accept it and trembled all over. The next moment she looked at Zhao Yuanlang and the others, stood up and rushed towards them.
"Zhao Yuanlang, you beast, that is your daughter, that is your own flesh and blood!!!"
She didn't know where she got the strength to hold on to him.
"You bastard, you bastard!!"
"You give back my daughter's life, you give back my daughter..."
Zhao Yuanlang was caught off guard and was slapped twice hard. When he reacted and tried to push Mrs. Zhao away, his face was scratched twice by her nails. He screamed in pain and threw her away.
