Empress, you don't want to be thrown into limbo by your father, do you?

"Your Majesty, my concubine is so bold, I don't want to see Your Majesty being deceived by traitors!"

For so many years, the noble concubine has had considerable influence in the court. Even though the crown prince and Guo Peng liquidated some people, her foundation has not been shaken.

At this moment, some ministers immediately echoed, "Your Majesty, if what the empress said is true, then the crown prince's crime cannot be pardoned!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The group of people who pleaded just now are really fools.

All of a sudden, they turned their guns and began to criticize the prince.

However, Emperor Ganming's old face was a bit uneasy. Didn't he doubt the prince's life experience?

He has been suspicious for more than 20 years!

But there is no evidence!

The point is, if this kind of thing is said, how can he hold his old face?
The majestic emperor, the king of a country, the crown prince he established, his eldest son is not his own blood?
If this spread, wouldn't the world laugh at it?

"Aifei! What nonsense are you talking about!"

Emperor Qianming snorted angrily, but the imperial concubine has already regarded Emperor Qianming as a dead person, so she didn't have much worries at all, and directly showed a look of sadness and righteous indignation, "Your Majesty forgiving the crown prince's death crime is because he cares about the relationship between father and son, but if this person is not Son of His Majesty, how can you allow such rebellious and usurpers to live in this world?!"

Even if everyone knew that this remark would hurt Emperor Qianming's old face, they all felt it was very reasonable.

Even for a pedantic person like the prime minister, it was not because he admired the prince that he supported the prince, but because of orthodoxy and etiquette.

But now, if the prince is really a wild species...

"Imperial concubine, this is not a trivial matter! The old minister wants to know, how does the empress determine that the crown prince is not His Majesty's own?!"

The prime minister spoke directly, which was actually the curiosity of other people. In fact, many rumors about the prince have been circulating outside this year, but no one dared to believe it.

I can't believe it either!
Even Li Changshou put on an air, "Mother Concubine, you are..."

In fact, the two had already glanced at each other secretly, and there was a wave of communication in their eyes. At this moment, they were just pretending to show the court officials and the emperor's old man.

"Shou'er, isn't Duke Qi still in prison?"

When everyone heard this, they remembered that the prince's uncle, the Duke of Qi, led [-] troops before, but was wiped out by the next vanguard general under Shou Wang, and even himself was imprisoned.

Now that the noble concubine mentioned it, someone immediately asked, "Your imperial concubine, what does this matter have to do with Duke Qi?"

"Of course it does!"

The noble concubine snorted softly, and then came to Emperor Qianming, "Your Majesty, I hope that the Duke of Qi can come here, and His Majesty will know all the truth through interrogation himself!"

Even if he didn't want to, there was nothing he could do about it under the watchful eyes of everyone.

And this is also a knot that has troubled him for more than 20 years. After hesitating, he nodded, "Go and bring people!"

"Father! Father! You must not believe slander! This son is your son! He is your own!"

I thought I could just drag on, but now seeing the turn of events, the prince suddenly panicked.

Is he not clear?
So he started yelling quickly, but Emperor Ganming was already suspicious, and now he was even more upset, especially when he thought of how many times the prince forced the palace before his conspiracy, he was aggressive and uttered wild words, so he groaned angrily on the spot.

"shut up!"

"Father!"

"Hahaha! Emperor Dog, you don't even believe your own son, no wonder he wants to turn against you!"

At this moment, Guo Peng laughed out extremely ironically. He was defeated and captured and knew that there was no way out, but once some secrets were found out, he would not be able to just die!
The point is, up to now, his death is a foregone conclusion, but seeing that the prince survived, he felt compassion for a while.

At least he can leave blood descendants after his death, but if the prince's life experience is found out, then the dead will not be so human.

"Bold!"

"Guo Peng! You, a rebellious minister and traitor, dare to talk about Your Majesty here when you are about to die!"

Everyone scolded him one after another, but Guo Peng was not afraid, and laughed out loud, "The prince is today, it is all forced out by this dog emperor and you people!"

It's a pity that no matter how the crown prince begged for mercy and blocked him, Guo Peng cursed at him.

Qi Guogong was still brought up.

And when he came to the main hall, he knelt down with a plop, trembling all over, "Your Majesty, spare me! Your Majesty, spare me!"

"I ask you! Is the crown prince my son?!"

Emperor Gan Ming said every word, panting and his expression was not very good, he is now at the end of his strength.

Even if he dies, he still has to untie the knot in his heart for more than 20 years!

Duke Qi trembled all over his body when he heard that, he didn't dare to answer at all, and even subconsciously raised his head to look at the prince and Guo Peng, who were also prisoners, and this scene fell into the eyes of everyone present.

In fact, half of it has been proved.

Even the prime minister couldn't help showing a look of surprise and anger.

"Say! Prince, who was born!"

Emperor Qianming snorted and questioned, but Qi Guogong gritted his teeth and refused to speak, because he knew he couldn't say...

However, the more he was unwilling to open his mouth, the more he confirmed that what the imperial concubine said was not framed and framed. At that moment, Emperor Qianming was on the verge of collapse, recalling all the things in the past, he sprayed blood, his eyes darkened, and he passed out.

"His Majesty!"

"Father!"

With the help of everyone, Emperor Qianming was finally rescued.

Up to now, everyone can see that there is a problem with the prince's life experience, but they can see it, but they suffer from no evidence!
Since there is no evidence, this matter will be difficult to handle. Many ministers looked at Old Prime Minister Zhang, as if hoping that he, as the veteran of the three dynasties, could come up with an idea.

But the old prime minister was also speechless, so he could only bite the bullet and stepped forward, "Your Majesty, this is a serious matter, and I hope your Majesty will take good care of the dragon's body!"

"Prime Minister, if it were you, would you be able to calm down?"

The noble concubine smiled coldly, and the old Prime Minister Zhang was speechless with a rhetorical question.

That's right, it's impossible for anyone to be calm when they meet this matter, let alone the emperor of a country?

"Your Majesty's thoughts are clear to the old minister, but there is no conclusive evidence for this matter yet."

"Your Majesty forgave the crown prince's capital crime because of the affection between father and son. If the prince's background was not from the royal family, how could he be allowed to live on? Let your majesty and the royal family become a joke of the world?!"

The imperial concubine was aggressive, and the ministers of the imperial concubine's party came forward one after another.

"Your Majesty is right!"

"Prime Minister, as a courtier, we can't just sit back and watch someone who is not from the royal family be the prince for many years. How can I save face if it spreads?"

"There must be an explanation for this matter, otherwise we will not be able to convince the public!"

A group of people look at you, and I say a word.

He didn't pay attention to Emperor Qianming's thoughts at all. Of course, Emperor Qianming was already very angry at the moment, how could he hold the scene?
He could only barely hold Li Changshou's hand, and he could see that behind the anger in his heart was deep powerlessness and unwillingness.

The dignified son of heaven has been reduced to this point.

Only Li Changshou understood, and hurriedly approached and said, "Father, do you have something to tell my son?"

No one cared about what Emperor Ganming wanted to say, whether it was the noble concubine or the group of ministers headed by the old prime minister, they still respected Emperor Qianming on the surface, but in fact they had ignored the priority.

On the contrary, it was Li Changshou's concern that made Emperor Qianming feel deeply relieved, "I didn't see the wrong person!"

"Help me over there!"

"Father, your body..."

"Don't worry, I won't die yet!"

Emperor Qianming insisted, Li Changshou pretended to persuade him and stopped pressing, and helped Emperor Qianming get up and come to the Duke of Qi.

Everyone shut up when they saw it, but Qi Guogong was trembling all over, his eyes flickered, and he dared not face Emperor Qianming's gaze.

"Tell me who it is!"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

Duke Qi didn't dare to say it, but when he saw Li Changshou looking at him indifferently, he felt the hairs all over his body stand on end, thinking of what Li Changshou had said before.

"Tell me! Otherwise, I will kill your nine clans!"

Emperor Ganming was out of breath after walking a few steps and speaking a few words, but he was still the king of a country, and his momentum was still there!

After he finished speaking, he took a few breaths and slowed down his tone slightly, "As long as you tell me the truth, I can promise you that I will spare the lives of the rest of your Qi family!"

Rebellion will inevitably destroy the family, and the Duke of Qi's government will not be able to escape even after making meritorious deeds.

But in order to know the truth, Emperor Qianming, since he opened his mouth, couldn't go back on his word.

"uncle!"

The prince is in a hurry!

Even Guo Peng was in a hurry and snorted angrily, "Emperor Dog, you..."

But before he could finish speaking, he was kicked on his body, and the person who kicked him was none other than Emperor Qianming, the dying emperor didn't know where the hostility came from, and angrily said: "Shut up! Did I let you speak? Someone! Shut his mouth!"

"Duke Qi, your father never fails to promise! You must never let your father down!"

Li Changshou reminded from the side that anyone seemed to have no problem with these words, but Qi Guogong understood the implication.

With a plop, he pressed his forehead against the cold marble floor, "Your Majesty, minister, minister..."

"Say!"

Emperor Qianming roared there, but he already knew it in his heart!

Not only the old emperor, but everyone present can more or less judge, but judgment is judgment, and some things need evidence!
Whether it's witnesses or physical evidence!

"Prince, he, he is indeed not His Majesty's own son!"

Duke Qi didn't dare to raise his head at all, the entire hall was in an uproar when he said this, even though the prime minister and the others had already expected this to happen, they were still extremely shocked to hear Duke Qi admitting it himself.

"Uncle! Are you crazy?!"

The prince panicked and roared!

But now he is helpless, his eyes are full of panic and fear, his appearance seems to prove himself to the people around him, and he knows his life experience.

"Qi Guogong, this is not a joke!"

Old Prime Minister Zhang asked angrily, "You said that the crown prince was not born to His Majesty, so don't you mean that the empress was originally born!?"

"Who is it! Tell me! Who is this bastard?! Tell me!"

Emperor Qianming was furious, and it was impossible for any man in the world to be calm. If he was persuaded by Li Changshou before, he still had compassion and wanted to spare the prince's life.

Then at this time, he wished he could pull out the knife himself, and cut the prince into thousands of pieces to vent his hatred!
The crown prince is a bastard, which proves that Empress Qi had an affair with someone back then!
This is not only the collapse of a generation of virtuous descendants, but also a scandal of the royal family, and it has severely slapped the prime minister in the face of the officials who supported the Prince Qing School.

Even they want to know who did it?
Who is the queen having an affair with?
"It's Guo Peng!"

Duke Qi seemed to have exhausted all his strength to say these three words!
It was precisely because of these three words that the prince's heart sank to the bottom of the valley, and Guo Peng, who was tied up and gagged by five flowers, looked ashamed.

The hall was silent.
