Rebirth of marriage

The queen has been the dominant one in the harem these years, and she has suppressed the concubines extremely hard with harsh methods. Even some of the concubines relied on relying on her to please her to survive, and they all hated her in their hearts.

Especially those who were tricked by the Queen and lost their children. They hated the Queen and naturally followed her two sons.

Their children were deprived of the opportunity to be born by the queen, but the queen's children could enjoy the supreme wealth in the world. After hearing Cao Jingyi's astonishing words, how could they let go of the opportunity to bring down the third prince.

Among them, Concubine Lan is the worst.

She had lost her child, and her family had lost power due to the suppression of the Cao family. Her brother was promoted to an official position and died within two years of taking office. She no longer had anyone to rely on, and similarly, she had no worries.

She had lain dormant and endured in the palace for many years, hoping that one day she could take revenge, but before she could find a chance to take action, the queen died. Although she felt a headache in her heart, she had nowhere to vent her hatred.

"Your Highness, why did you want to kill the Queen?" There was a hint of excitement or madness in her sharp voice.

God gave her a chance to take revenge.

The third prince was in a panic, but he had never paid attention to these concubines in the past, and his attitude towards them had always been contemptuous and disdainful.

Therefore, he scolded angrily, "You are so presumptuous, I, the prince, do not have that. You heard me wrong."

Concubine Lan had a death wish and was not afraid of him at all. She shouted out what Cao Jingyi said and ordered the maids around her to invite the emperor.

Her voice was so loud that not to mention the people kneeling in the mourning hall, but also the officials outside heard it. Everyone was shocked by the news and thought it was impossible.

The first assistant's wife arrived at the side hall immediately. She felt nervous and glared at Cao Jingyi accusingly. Then she said, "Concubine Lan, be careful. The third prince is the direct descendant of the queen. Your Highness has always been filial. How could he do such a treasonous act?" thing."

"Your daughter said it herself, I heard it with my own ears, and they all heard it too." Concubine Lan pointed to the concubines who came with her.

Although those people were not as willing as Concubine Lan, they still acquiesced.

As if she had just realized that she had made a big mistake, Cao Jingyi panicked and said, "Everyone, you heard me wrong. I didn't say anything. I don't know. How can I, a woman, know about His Highness? I don't know. You heard me wrong." ”

She refused to admit it, and the third prince secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

However, how could Concubine Lan miss this opportunity, repeat her words over and over again, and question her. Cao Jingyi went to the back and directly lowered her head, covered her ears, and shook her head.

She felt extremely guilty.

Cao Zhicheng frowned when he saw this scene. Xiaoba was so strange today. She had always been steady and calm, and she shouldn't be so careless.

It is even more impossible to say those words to the third prince on such an occasion, even if there were just the two of them in the room, this is not in line with Xiaoba's character.

Looking at the third prince again, his face was pale, his forehead was shining, and his eyes were wandering. Cao Zhicheng's heart sank, he actually killed his mother.

Why did you do this?

He thought about it for a moment and realized that this timid and useless thing was worried that his mother's affairs would fall into disgrace and affect his future.

"Is what the third sister-in-law said true? Did you really kill the queen?" When Cao Shoufu was thinking about how to deal with the aftermath of the third prince, the fourth prince suddenly grabbed the third prince's collar with a ferocious look on his face.

He is not as happy as his third brother to please his mother, and the queen's position in his heart is not as good as his father's, but she is his queen.

The third prince naturally refused to admit it.

But the more he behaved like this, the more the Fourth Prince felt that he was guilty. He and the Queen were grounded together. During the days of being grounded, he thought about what happened that night countless times.

The queen mother was more powerful in scheming than her father. Her methods had been successful in the palace over the years, but that day she failed miserably and even made herself slip.

There were rumors that the queen mother was depressed due to miscarriage and did not want to see people, so he became suspicious. The queen mother had been in the harem for many years, and the ruthlessness of the royal family had long been engraved in her bones.

Not to mention a fetus that was not yet formed, even if he was gone, the mother was so sad that she thought about how to avenge him, instead of torturing her body with grief.

He was banned from leaving his palace, and he could not contact his mother to find out the truth of the matter, but the third brother was free.

Thinking back to that day at the Sun Palace banquet, he was filled with joy that his mother was pregnant, but the third brother was so shocked that he dropped his cup. He was not happy that his mother was pregnant.

How could someone as cautious and vigilant as her mother have miscarriage and become seriously ill? The only people who could harm her were those she trusted and were close to.

All the piles were pointed at the person in front of him, and he roared, "Why?"

No one answered him, and he punched again. The third prince had to pretend to be more confident, and punched back, and the two brothers fought together.

Cao Zhicheng ordered someone to separate the two of them, but Gu Xiao drank it, "The death of the queen is not a trivial matter. If you have any doubts, you should ask. Could it be that the chief minister knew something when he blocked her like this?"

As he spoke, he looked at Cao Jingyi, who was still covering her ears and saying nothing.

What does it mean? Everyone knows that the person who revealed that the queen was harmed by the third prince is the third prince's concubine and the daughter of the Cao family. Her source of information is either the third prince or the Cao family.

When Cao Zhicheng saw that Gu Xiao had brought the matter to him, he did not dare to stop him. If he tried to stop him, his Cao family would be accused by Gu Xiao of murdering the queen.

However, my heart was anxious and I was busy thinking of countermeasures.

The emperor came at this time, and also brought over Dr. Liu, who had taken leave two days ago and returned to his hometown.

"Tell me, why did you attack the queen?" the queen said coldly.

The movements of Imperial Doctor Liu and the Third Prince have been under his supervision. After the Queen's death, the Third Prince wanted to silence Imperial Doctor Liu, but was saved by his people in time.

The evidence had been collected long ago, and Doctor Liu could not identify it. Because the third prince had turned against him and did not want to argue, he admitted that he was the one who had done this to the queen.

As soon as the incident here broke out, the emperor ordered Zhao Debao to arrest him and tell him the truth in front of the queen.

When the third prince saw that Imperial Doctor Liu had been arrested, his legs became weak.

The queen died a few days earlier than expected. He was worried that there would be a problem, so he ordered people to assassinate Liu Yuyi to erase the evidence, but the now dead person was brought here by the emperor.

Doctor Liu was not dead, but his secret guard didn't tell him. It was because he didn't know or betrayed him. His mind went blank and the back of his palms was sweaty.

"Yes, it's the third prince. He coerced the old minister to drug the queen." Dr. Liu knelt on the ground and trembled, "How dare the old minister harm the empress? It was the third prince who forced me to do it. After the empress died, he Attacked the old minister.

Fortunately, the old minister had great luck and was rescued, so he ventured into the palace and confessed to His Majesty. "

"It's you, it's you who attacked the queen." The fourth prince stepped forward and kicked Liu Yushi, "Why did the third brother want you to harm the queen, tell me."

Liu Yushi raised his head and glanced at the emperor, then quickly lowered his head, "Old minister, I dare not say anything."

Although what he was going to say next was ordered by the emperor, he was still a little scared because it was related to the dignity of the royal family.

"Shut up, don't frame me." The third prince suddenly jumped up like crazy and rushed towards Doctor Liu.

Gu Xiao stretched out his long arm and pulled the kneeling Doctor Liu away from him.

The third prince jumped out of the way and smashed it to the ground. He looked extremely embarrassed. He pointed at Gu Xiao and bit him, "It was you, you who instigated him to slander me."

Gu Xiao glanced at him like a fool.

The emperor spoke at the right time, "Third brother, please don't be so presumptuous. Doctor Liu, tell me, what is the reason?"

"Because the child that your Majesty aborted is not your Majesty's. The Third Prince knows that your Majesty is having an affair with her foreign husband, and he is worried that your Majesty's affair will be revealed and he will be implicated."

Doctor Liu seemed to be emboldened after hearing the emperor's words, and continued, "The miscarriage was also caused by the third prince."
