Rumors about Empress Xu conniving with Xi Zuo to infiltrate Dayan spread rapidly. As a last resort, she could only claim to be ill and avoid it.
As her daughter-in-law, Jiang Mihe had to take care of her.
Empress Xu became more and more dissatisfied with Jiang Mihe. She used to like to find trouble in secret, but now she puts it out in the open.
"The Crown Princess is so capable. She was the first to discover that Pinyue was not telling the truth, but she also made a big fuss about it, causing your husband to be detained and this palace to be criticized." Empress Xu's eyes were gloomy and the corners of her mouth were filled with laughter. That smile looks scary.
Jiang Mihe held the medicine bowl, his heart was calm, and there was no disturbance at all because of Queen Xu's words.
"I am also a subject of Dayan. I have always been very happy that Pinyue was discovered by me, and I have no regrets." In the past, she took every possible care of Yan Xianzhi and Queen Xu for the sake of their virtuous reputation, but now I see Knowing their true colors, Jiang Mihe would never let his pride be damaged by their ruthlessness and cunning.
Yan Xianzhi and Empress Xu are far less important than Dayan's stability. Even though she is nominally Yan Xianzhi's wife and Empress Xu's daughter-in-law, she is also the crown prince of Dayan. Jiang Mihe was born in a general family, so this You definitely have some backbone.
Jiang Mihe's smile did not change: "Queen, you'd better take the medicine."
Queen Xu was irritated and waved Jiang Mihe's hand away: "Take it away!"
The medicinal soup was knocked over and all fell into Jiang Mihe's hand. She looked down and then yelled: "Ah——"
Jiang Mihe called the accompanying imperial doctor with great fanfare and wrapped his hands tightly, making him look very serious.
Lu Qing was also worried about her: "Is your injury serious? Burns are very painful. You need to apply ointment frequently..."
Jiang Mihe waved his hand casually: "It's not serious. Fortunately, I blew it for a while and it wasn't so hot."
"This is really..." Lu Qing hesitated to speak.
"A blessing in disguise, did you know that her reputation has been ruined again?" Jiang Mihe smiled slyly, "The Queen has such a bad temper. The Crown Princess personally attended to the disease, but she was used as a tool to vent her anger and was burned for no reason. hand."
Empress Xu loved to put gold on her aging face, so Jiang Mihe was happy to slap her in the face to expose her true face.
"Now, what I hope most is that Prince Jin and the others can recover that secret."
Jiang Mihe's hope is exactly the hope of Lu Qing, and it is also the hope of countless people who truly care about the affairs of their family and country.
**
Three days later, the secret was found, but the secret was leaked.
Emperor Xihe looked gloomy and cut Pinyue, three people and five horses into pieces under the witness of everyone.
Queen Xu was called in dragging her sick body, and after dealing with Xi Zuo, it was Yan Xianzhi's turn to be brought up.
Emperor Xihe stopped looking at Empress Xu. After several days of discussions with the courtiers, he became even more displeased with Yan Xianzhi.
The peace finally gained through war is about to be broken, which means that countless people of Dayan will have to join the battlefield again, and the endless blood will be soaked in the land of Dayan, and the culprit of all this is their prince of Dayan.
"I have made up my mind to abolish the position of the eldest prince and crown prince."
Except for the stunned Queen Xu, only a few courtiers knelt down and begged for mercy: "I beg the emperor to take back his life. The prince's crime is not this serious!"
Unexpectedly, Emperor Xihe was determined to depose the crown prince. He said: "Whoever dares to plead for mercy, I will strip off his court clothes and send him back to his hometown to enjoy his old age!"
At this point, no one dared to say anything.
Empress Xu's face turned pale as she tried to move people with emotion: "Your Majesty, Xianzhi is the prince you personally appointed. He is my concubine's only son. You can't..."
"No?" Emperor Xihe was excited, "Why can't I deal with him? I thought that even if he had mediocre qualifications and worked harder, he could be a meritorious prince. But you open your eyes and see, he deserves it." Ascend to the position of prince?!"
After hearing this, Queen Xu became so angry that her face turned rosy. She shouted loudly: "I am the queen, and he is my son. You said he is not worthy!"
joke! What a big joke! As a direct descendant of the middle palace, why is he not worthy of the position of prince? ! If her son is not worthy, are other women’s sons worthy?
He still didn't give up. He had always wanted to make the child born to that bitch a prince!
"Do you really think that Xianzhi is unworthy, or do you just want to give up the crown prince position to another woman's child just like you did ten or twenty years ago? Your Majesty, you have never been fair to your concubines and Xianzhi!"
Regardless of his manners, Emperor Xihe raised his hand and slapped Queen Xu: "I have never been sorry to you!"
If she didn't mention the past today, Emperor Xihe wouldn't be so angry. He had sorry for many people, but never for Empress Xu and her son.
"You think I don't know about the good things you have done? Do you think I am so incompetent?!"
Queen Xu froze and looked at Emperor Xihe in disbelief.
The people standing on the side wanted to listen but did not dare to listen openly. They all looked up at the sky and the ground, but their ears were raised high.
The quarrel between the emperor and the empress is already very new. From what I hear, there may be many unknown secrets in it, which is even more arousing.
Yan Fuguang stood behind Emperor Xihe, supported the furious Emperor Xihe, and said in his ear: "Are you sure you want to say this in public?"
Emperor Xihe came back to his senses, stared at Queen Xu fiercely for a while, and then shook his sleeves vigorously, "The queen is not cured yet. Someone, please take the queen down and treat her well!"
Queen Xu sat slumped on the ground, not to mention the exquisite atmosphere of the past. She couldn't understand why all her hard work was ruined overnight.
This farce is temporarily stopped, and the good autumn hunting can no longer go on anyway.
Emperor Xihe ordered him to return to Beijing in two days.
Yan Fuguang was not in a good mood, with sadness lingering between his brows.
Lu Qing knew why he was upset, so he didn't bother him deliberately. He took Lan Ge'er to pack his things peacefully so as not to cause any trouble to him.
On the way back to Beijing, Yan Fuguang got into the carriage where Lu Qing and Lan Geer were.
Seeing that mother and son both looked cautious, Yan Fuguang found it funny again.
"What's going on? What are you worried about? When the soldiers come to block the water and the earth, there will always be a way." This sentence seemed to be said to Lu Qing and Lan Ge'er, but also to himself.
After the secret was leaked, although Yan Fuguang didn't say it clearly, he was ready to face all difficulties. He naturally stood in the perspective of a guardian and shouldered the huge responsibility.
Lu Qing didn't want to say something insignificant or innocuous. She hugged Yan Fuguang's arm and said softly: "With you here, I and the people are not afraid."
She believed that the men around her would fight for Dayan, and she also believed that the flag of victory would be waved in his hands again and again.
