Chapter 9 The house collapsed under the flames

Although Concubine Wan Gui was confined to the Longevity Palace, she has been in the palace for more than ten years. Even if the Queen Mother trapped her hands and feet, how could she trap her tongue?No, just after the imperial banquet was over, the words she entrusted had already entered the ears of Emperor Shenghua.

"How is this possible, this child is so similar to me, there is absolutely no way someone can impersonate him!"

Shenghua shook his head while walking, but his soft-eared problem had occurred again. Although Shenghua still firmly believed that Gou'er was his own son at the moment, it was not difficult to see from his messy steps that his heart It's messed up!

"Your Majesty, I am rich all over the world, and there are hundreds of millions of people under my command. If anyone wants to find a child who resembles His Majesty among the people, although it is difficult, it is not impossible!"

"This……"

Sheng Hua finally hesitated, since he picked up Gou'er back to the palace and now began to doubt Gou'er's identity, it was less than two days!
However, Concubine Wan Gui was able to convey the words to the emperor's ears, and the internal minister naturally had a way to convey the emperor's conversation at this time to the Empress Dowager Zhou.The Emperor Shenghua, who didn't hesitate at first, had just returned to Qianqing Palace, when the Empress Dowager Zhou led a large group of people to kill him!
"How did I hear that someone around His Majesty is chewing my grandson's tongue?" As she spoke, the Empress Dowager scanned all the court ladies and eunuchs in the Qianqing Palace with great dignity.The eunuch in charge of delivering the message subconsciously took half a step back under the Queen Mother's glance.

"You!" The queen mother pointed at the eunuch who sent the message, and told him: "Go back and tell your master, I will wait for her to pay her respects at the Qianqing Palace tonight, and come here whenever I think about it!"

The Empress Dowager ordered all the attendants to be dismissed, and after the eunuchs and maids withdrew from the Qianqing Palace, the Empress Dowager could not hold back the anger in her heart, and kicked the present Majesty regardless of her manners.And this kick also reminded Shenghua of the empress dowager's aggressive style in the harem to protect his crown prince!
"You said in front of Aijia, how do you still want to mess up? Do you still want that bitch Wan Zhen'er to strangle your own son to death with his own hands?"

"My Dameng has more than ten million people, and it is not impossible to find a child like me..."

"I told you it's impossible!" The queen mother picked up a white pear on the table and threw it at Shenghua.

Shenghua originally wanted to hide, but since it was thrown by his own mother, after he dodged the pear, the next time it would fly would be a plate!The pear hit Shenghua's shoulder, causing him severe pain. He wanted to reach out to scratch the painful spot, but he didn't dare.I had to stand there awkwardly, shrinking my neck.

"The ancestral mansion and Lang Guan have confirmed the identity of the child, do you dare not believe it, do you still have to call the imperial doctor to conduct a blood test, and then let the living man and the speech officer record your every word and deed?" Show it to future generations!"

"The empress dowager is serious! Your Majesty also wants to keep my royal blood pure, so there is such a guess!"

"The imperial concubine is here!"

Following the notification from the eunuch, the mid-mature Concubine Wan Gui also walked into the Qianqing Palace with lotus steps, and it was Concubine Wan Gui who interceded for Emperor Shenghua just now.

"The concubine pays her respects to the empress dowager."

The Empress Dowager Zhou looked at Concubine Wan Gui with a displeased expression on her face, but then again, if a son marries a woman who is the same age as his mother and goes back to be his wife, it will definitely be the Empress Dowager Zhou's expression, or even worse!

(Author: In historical facts, Wan Zhener and Chenghua's biological mother, Empress Xiaosu Zhou, were really older, and this book will also use this as a setting.)
"Free gift!"

"Thank you, Empress Dowager."

Concubine Wan Gui got up and smiled at Shenghua, which made the Empress Dowager Zhou, who was not happy at all, feel sick.But after all, she is the Empress Dowager, so she could only resist the discomfort and asked Concubine Wan Gui, "Can you receive the message from Ai's family?"

"The concubine received it."

"Do you have any thoughts or testimonials to express to His Majesty and Aijia?"

"Report to the Queen Mother, Your Majesty, the sun and the moon can learn from the hearts of ministers and concubines!"

"Good! What a heart!" The queen mother pretended to be happy, and asked while clapping her hands: "Concubine Wan Gui's heart is to make my son have no heirs, so that the royal family has no one to inherit the family for 12 years?"

"The concubine will die!"

"Are you really willing?" The queen mother continued to ask with a smile: "How about today, why did you instruct the servants to alienate my children and grandchildren?"

Concubine Wan Gui wanted to say something, but facing such an aggressive queen mother, she dared not speak again.

"Why don't you ask the Ai family to call Zhang Min and Eunuch Zhang here, so that you can confront each other face to face."

"The courtiers and concubines are all arranged by the queen mother."

Soon after, when Zhang Min learned that he was summoned by the queen mother, Zhang Min also passed the secret signal prepared in advance to Shangming outside the palace.And Shang Ming led a few of his confidants into the Anle Hall from Xiyuan along the secret passage dug when he was learning horsemanship for Ji and Wu.

Zhang Min came to Qianqing Palace, greeted His Majesty and the Queen Mother, and confronted Concubine Wan Gui face to face.

"Your Majesty and Empress Dowager, it was not only the servant who knew about this, but also the deposed empress Wu who lived in the Anle Hall, and a little maid named Lin Chiling. The little prince was also born and raised by these two people. .”

The queen mother has never known such a secret, in fact until now she still cares about the empress Wu who was chosen by her for her son Shenghua.It's a pity that because Wu's offended Concubine Wan Gui, his son actually cooperated with Concubine Wan Gui in playing the game of pampering his concubine and destroying his wife.And when the Empress Dowager heard that Wu Shi had also raised the emperor's grandson at this moment, she also wanted to take this opportunity to meet Wu Shi, whom she had not seen for a long time.

"Then... where is Mrs. Wu now?"

"Reporting to the Empress Dowager, Mrs. Wu is in the Inner Anle Hall, whether the servant's words are false or not, the Empress Dowager will know the truth when she visits Mrs. Wu!"

"Okay, tell me my will, immediately recruit..."

But before the Empress Dowager finished speaking, everyone saw a burst of red flames illuminating half of the night sky on the west side of the palace!

"It's not good! The Neian Hall is on fire!"

The shout of "fire" made everyone in the Forbidden City busy.But in the Qianqing Palace, although Concubine Wan Gui wanted to shout "It's better to burn the two sluts to death", but she had to pretend to be dumbfounded.

"Okay! What a concubine Wan Gui! Sure enough!" Zhang Min jumped up from the ground in disregard of the dignity of a monarch and minister.Pointing at Concubine Wan Gui, he shouted: "How dare you set fire to Nei'an Letang? Do you want to kill Wu and Ji so that the identity of the little prince will be unproven?"

Concubine Wan Gui originally thought that his younger brother Wan Heng set the fire, but now after seeing Zhao Min's reaction, she suddenly realized that she seemed to be framed.However, Zhang Min, a servant, dared to yell at himself in front of the emperor. Concubine Wan Gui, who had been bossing her around for many years, couldn't bear it, so she wanted to send someone to take Zhang Min down immediately.

But Zhang Min is willing to enter without a fight. After so many years of planning, whether he can save the lives of the prince and Ji family depends on whether Zhang Min's acting skills explode tonight!So, Zhang Min broke free from Concubine Wan Gui's hands, crawled to the Empress Dowager Zhou's feet, hugged the Empress Dowager's thigh, and begged:

"Empress Dowager, please order to save the little prince's biological mother! The little prince and the Ji family have no one to rely on these years, and are trapped in the cold palace alone. If it weren't for the Wu family to take care of them, I am afraid that the mother and son would have turned into a deep-seated relationship." The bones of the palace! If anything happens to the Ji family, not only the Ji family will not be able to prove his innocence in front of Wan Guifei, but the prince will never be able to get the approval of the princes in the court. The little prince will also be separated from heaven and man forever, please The queen mother pities the little prince, he is only a 6-year-old child!"

Concubine Wan Gui was really annoyed by Zhang Min's framing, and she forgot the dignity of a ruler and minister for a while, and even ignored the dissuasion of the maids and eunuchs, ran in front of the Queen Mother and kicked Zhang Min to the ground!
"You are a damned slave, you still dare to frame Ben Gong, let's see if Ben Gong has skinned you!"

"Yo! Concubine Wan Gui is so majestic!" The Empress Dowager Zhou looked directly at Concubine Wan Gui, who was only a few feet away, and asked loudly with a cold face: "If the Ai family stops you today, do you want to send this concubine of the Ai family too?" Has the skin been peeled off?"

Even Sheng Hua, who had been silent all this time, ran to Concubine Wan Gui, pinned her to the ground desperately, and pleaded on her behalf: "Mother, Concubine Wan was framed by Zhang Min, a slave. Ask the queen mother to make amends!"

"Oh?" The Empress Dowager Zhou glanced down at her useless son, and asked, "You also think that Eunuch Zhang created something out of nothing to frame Concubine Wan?"

"Please, Queen Mother, Your Majesty, be careful! I dare not lie to you!" After speaking, Zhang Min wiped away the tears on his face, resolutely got up from the ground, tidied up his slightly messy coat, and put The gauze hat on the head straightened.

"The servant is willing to prove the innocence of the prince and the innocence of the Ji family with death!"

As he spoke, Zhang Min poured his true energy into his right hand, and slapped his forehead with a palm in front of Shenghua, the Queen Mother and Concubine Wan Gui.

The queen mother looked at Zhang Min who had fallen to the ground, bleeding from all seven orifices, and lamented: "My Zhu family has lost another loyal minister..." Then, she raised her head and looked at the maids and eunuchs who were still in a daze around her. They shouted: "What are you looking at? Hurry up and spread the will of the Ai family, and put out the fire in the Anle Hall at any cost. Baoji and Wu are safe! If there is any difference between her two, you all wait to be buried with her." !"

It's a pity that before her order reached An Le Tang, the sad news from An Le Hall spread to Qianqing Palace first.

"Return...Report to Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, Imperial Concubine..."

The Empress Dowager Zhou saw that he was still refusing to speak, so she roared angrily, "Speak up!"

"Report to the Empress Dowager...the Anle Hall Lenggong...has been destroyed by fire!"

"Bang~~crack! Crash~~~~"

In extreme rage, the Empress Dowager Zhou overturned the little table on the couch, looked at Concubine Wan Gui and said viciously, "Concubine Wan Gui, what a great trick! This really suits your wishes, and there is no proof! If the Ai family Dare to protect the little prince, are you planning to even get rid of the Ai family?"

"Chen... the concubine dare not!"

"You better not dare!" After finishing speaking, the Queen Mother Zhou turned her head to look at her son kneeling on the ground trembling, and said, "From tonight onwards, my grandson will be taken care of by the Ai family! Also, our Dameng Dynasty Now there should be a crown prince, I wonder if the emperor will agree to the establishment of a crown prince?"

"It's all according to the queen mother's will!"
