Rebirth of marriage

Doctor Liu told him in detail how the third prince ordered him to poison the queen.

The emperor ordered people to search for evidence under false pretenses, and the evidence was quickly brought up.

"Third son, is it really you?" The emperor looked at the third prince with a sad and disappointed face, "How could you kill your mother?"

His reaction made Cao Zhicheng's eyebrows jump sharply.

The emperor was so calm and strange about the fact that the empress had an affair with her husband and was pregnant. He didn't even ask how this could be a normal behavior for a man. It could only be that he already knew about it.

The third prince did not tell him this. He thought carefully about what the third prince told him about the queen that day, and then saw that the emperor brought Liu Yuyi in time. What else did he not understand? The third prince was taken advantage of by the emperor. .

This idiot must have been instigated by the emperor to break away from him. He hid many things from him and even killed his own mother. He cut off his own reliance. How could he save him?

What he just couldn't figure out was how could this happen through Xiaoba's mouth?

Did Xiaoba break up with him and betray him, or...

He looked at Xie Jiu in the crowd, or had Xie Jiu done something to Xiao Ba and manipulated Xiao Ba?

He couldn't figure it out for a while.

There were many shrewd people present, and they all saw from the emperor's reaction that the emperor was well aware of the queen's infidelity.

But the fourth prince didn't know. He shouted, "Impossible. There is no foreigner in the palace. She is the queen of a country and only has her father in her heart. She would not do such stupid things. Someone must have slandered her. The queen No, father, you must restore your mother’s innocence.”

The emperor just glanced at him indifferently, and his eyes fell back on the third prince again, "Third prince, what do you say?"

"I..." The third prince was at a loss for words. With all the personal and material evidence available, he could not deny the fact that he had killed his mother. He didn't know how to deal with the next situation, so he subconsciously looked to Cao Shoufu for help.

In the past, when he didn't know how to deal with it, the queen would teach him and help him deal with the aftermath. But after the queen died, he could only ask Cao Shoufang for help.

Cao Shoufu turned his face away. First, because of Gu Xiao's words, if he was too involved, people would misunderstand that he was involved in the matter.

Secondly, the third prince's concealment and betrayal made him want to teach his nephew a lesson, so that he could understand the importance of the Cao family, so that he would be better able to handle him in the future.

Of course, we still have to find a way to exonerate him.

But he didn't expect that his temporary rejection would make the third prince completely despair, and then he would place all his hopes on the emperor.

He knelt down in front of the emperor and said, "Father, I am wrong. I cannot bear to see my mother humiliating you like this. Please forgive me."

This is tantamount to admitting that the Queen is indeed a cholera palace official, and the third prince attacked her because of this.

He never thought that what he had done would be exposed. He killed the queen to protect his reputation and future, but now that the matter was exposed, matricide was a capital crime. He could only abandon the queen's reputation and put himself on the moral high ground of killing relatives. superior.

Save your life first, then think about other things.

Cao Shoufu was so angry that he almost spit out his blood. He didn't expect this man to be so stupid. He still can't see that he was plotted by the emperor.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" The fourth prince pushed the third prince away, and he looked up at the emperor, "Father, what he said is not true, right? My mother has never done that, otherwise how can you tolerate your mother so far? ?”

Cao Zhicheng closed his eyes. Fortunately, there was someone with a little bit of brains.

The emperor sighed deeply, "I am the most noble man in the world, but I have to be laughed at by everyone because of your mother. That man was hidden in the palace for many years by your mother, and was executed by the third child himself.

I don’t have many children, so no matter how angry I am with your mother, for the sake of your brothers and the royal family, I will only ground her in the end. "

"But I didn't expect, Third Brother, that you would actually take action." He said with compassion in his eyes, " Third Brother, the prince is as guilty as the common people when he breaks the law. Matricide is a serious crime. I am heartbroken."

"Impossible, impossible." The fourth prince shook his head desperately. He had been living in the palace with his mother and went to Fengyi Palace every day. If there was someone hiding in Fengyi Palace, it was impossible for him to not notice it at all.

He asked, "Father, who is that person?"

Perhaps by finding out the details of the other party, we can peel off the cocoon and clear the queen mother's name.

The emperor suddenly darkened his face and shouted angrily, "Fourth brother, do you still want to rub salt into my father's wounds? Why do you care about the face of my emperor?"

The rest of the people hurriedly lowered their heads. The emperor's joke was not that good.

But my heart was filled with turmoil that the Queen would do such a thing.

"No, I am just worried that there is some misunderstanding. My mother is not that kind of person. Father, you are the best man in the world. Why should my mother look for someone else?" The fourth prince shed tears. He was really sorry for the queen's death. sad.

The emperor's eyes flashed. He believed in the heart of the fourth prince that he really thought he was the best. The number of times he had been by his side these years was second only to Zhao Debao.

He intended to praise him, but the fourth child's feelings for his father were genuine. He would always put his father first in his heart.

He is far more like a human being than the third child. At least he will be sad about the queen's death and think about preserving the queen's reputation, instead of being like the third child.

This may be because he grew up around him and did not inherit the viciousness and callousness of the Cao family.

He looked at the fourth prince holding his feet, and felt shaken for a moment, but out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of Cao Zhicheng looking at the fourth prince, and he couldn't help but immediately dissipated.

Due to the low status of the Cao family, he only dealt with the third child, and the Cao family would immediately support the fourth child, which did not have much impact on the Cao family.

He gritted his teeth and said, "The queen has misbehaved. She is not worthy of being the mother of a country, and she is not worthy of setting an example for women. The Cao family has failed in its upbringing. We are deposing the queen and returning her body to the Cao family. Chief Assistant Cao, please take the Cao family out of the palace." .”

His eyes fell on the third prince again, "As for the third child, we will be banned from the third prince's residence for the time being and we will discuss it later."

"Your Majesty." Cao Zhicheng's pupils shrank. If this happened, the daughter of his Cao family would be doomed.

He hurriedly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please have mercy. There is still something fishy about this matter. As the fourth prince said, the queen really does not have the need. Your Majesty, please give me some time to find out the truth."

"You mean I am wronging the queen?" The emperor sneered, "If you don't believe it, ask the third child, he killed the person himself."

Cao Shoufu looked at the third prince, "Who is it?"

The third prince's mind was already in a mess. The only good thing was that his father only grounded him. After all, his father still cared about the family relationship between father and son, but Cao Shoufu, the uncle who always said that everything was for him, ignored him. .

Thinking like this, he obeyed the emperor's words, "It was this prince who killed the person with his own hands. He did not want to say more about the humiliation to the royal family. Cao Shoufu also did not want to ask further questions. What the mother did was also done by this prince." seen it myself."

Cao Shoufu saw that he was so stupid and could not clearly remind him that he had fallen into the emperor's trap. His eyes were red with anxiety and he almost had a heart attack.

Did he know that as the queen's biological son, saying these words would crucify the queen on the pillar of shame?

Idiots, idiots, mother and son are both prosperous and destructive!

The third prince did not go to see Cao Shoufu, and his life was temporarily safe, so he was anxious to think of how to reverse the situation and separate himself from the queen's failure.

Then Gu Xiao said, "Since the Queen has abandoned the cholera palace and is pregnant with someone else's child, then who can explain that the third and fourth children are of royal blood? After all, Miss Cao Si was a shameless woman in the boudoir."

"You are talking nonsense. I am my father's direct son." The third prince was furious and was about to lose his temper.

Then Cao Jingyi shook her head desperately and said, "It's not me who said it, it was King Xiao who said it. Aunt Huang, don't blame Jingyi. If you want to find it, just go to King Xiao. It was he who said that the third and fourth princes are not His Majesty's children, no." That's what I said."

"What did you say?" The emperor seemed to be greatly shocked.

Cao Shoufu's face was terrifyingly gloomy, and he was sure that Cao Jingyi's appearance was tampered with by Xie Jiu, so he looked at Xie Jiu with a gloomy and terrifying look, and his eyes were sinister and bloodthirsty.

He didn't expect that he didn't scare Xie Jiu like this, but he scared Cao Jingyi. Cao Jingyi took a few steps back and said, "Aunt Huang, Xiaoba didn't eavesdrop on purpose. Don't kill Xiaoba. Xiaoba didn't hear your secret." .

Xiaoba doesn’t know that His Highness the Third and His Highness the Fourth are your and other people’s children, so Xiaoba won’t tell anyone, please don’t kill Xiaoba…”

She repeated this in a loud voice that everyone could hear clearly. Everyone was so shocked by the news that they almost left their bodies.

Cao Shoufu's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and the pounding sound of his heart occupied all his hearing. He wanted to open his mouth to scold Cao Jingyi, but his vision went dark and he fainted.
