The abandoned queen is reborn: she makes the prince cry and seizes the throne!

Cheng Liu cried, "Brother Zheng'er, I know your mother died young and you are worried about her, but the dead are gone and the living are like this. Birth, aging, sickness and death are human nature. Even if a god came, he can't bring the dead back to life, right?"

Chengyang Hou gritted his teeth and threatened, "Wei Zheng, be obedient and go back quickly. If there is anything, let's go home and discuss it."

Over the years, Marquis Chengyang has never been submissive in front of him. Most of the time, it was because he couldn't afford to lose face in front of His Majesty, the Empress Dowager, and so many dignitaries in Kyoto.

Wei Zheng smiled, and suddenly he seemed cheerful. "What is Marquis Chengyang doing? I just mentioned my mother's name. Marquis Chengyang is so nervous. Could it be that he has done something wrong?"

"Nonsense!"

Wei Zheng bowed to Ning Huaixuan and the Queen Mother and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me, Queen Mother. I would like to take advantage of the gathering of all officials today to ask for your grace."

Ning Huaixuan also looked interested. He raised his head, took a sip of the wine, and said, "Go ahead."

"Today is the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, and I don't want to spoil the Queen Mother's interest at this time, but the Marquis of Chengyang pursued me relentlessly and even forced me to marry the girl from the Zhou family..."

If it weren't for His Majesty, the Queen Mother, and so many dignitaries today, Marquis Chengyang would have wanted to break Wei Zheng's legs, "You are such a jerk, Wei Zheng. Marriage is a matter of parents' orders and matchmaker's words. It's fine if you resisted my intention, but now you want to embarrass yourself in front of His Majesty—"

"That's right!" Wei Zheng turned around and interrupted Cheng Yanghou, looking at him with an unprecedented coldness, "I want to sue the Marquis of Cheng Yang, for marrying Qing Mei in order to seize the family property and taking away his wife's life!"

It was like a heavy blow to the head. Marquis Chengyang was so shocked that he couldn't speak, and he was gasping for breath with his mouth open.

Shocking big melon!

Everyone present listened attentively, not missing a single detail.

After a long while, Chengyang Hou finally found his own voice and said, "Slander... You are slandering..."

Wei Zheng turned around and said, "How dare I slander the Marquis of Chengyang without evidence? Come here."

The servant behind him stepped forward, took out a stack of documents from his bosom, and presented them with both hands, "This is all the evidence I have collected about the Marquis of Chengyang embezzling my mother's dowry, taking the opportunity to ascend to the throne, and then killing my mother and marrying her childhood sweetheart. Your Majesty, please make a decision!"

Such a thing happened at such a nice birthday banquet. The eunuch beside him handed the thick stack of documents to Ning Huaixuan, who took it and looked back and forth between Chengyang Hou and Wei Zheng.

Cheng Liu was already sweating all over. She was the childhood sweetheart of Marquis Chengyang mentioned by Wei Zheng. Such a family secret was exposed in public. Cheng Liu nervously tugged at Marquis Chengyang's sleeve and said anxiously, "Master...what should I do?"

Marquis Chengyang's expression was not very good. He had not expected that such a playboy who lived a carefree life could actually have the ability to uncover the secrets of the past on his own.

Once this matter gets known to others, he will probably have to live with people poking his back for the rest of his life.

"Your Majesty!" Marquis Chengyang knelt hurriedly and bowed his head, "Your Majesty, Queen Mother, please understand that my son lost his mother when he was young. I was busy with many things and failed to discipline him well, so he wanted to take revenge on me. I will definitely discipline him strictly. I hope Your Majesty will not believe his one-sided words!"

Ning Huaixuan placed the stack of documents on the table, looked at the Marquis of Chengyang and said, "This document records in detail the whereabouts of all the dowry of Wei Zheng's biological mother. When the King of Dongzhi married his daughter to Kyoto, people often said that Madam Wen's dowry was enough to cover a ten-mile long street, which is pretty clear."

From time to time, the sound of flowing water could be heard in the warm room, which seemed particularly harsh in the silence of the banquet.

"But most of Madam Wen's dowry disappeared before she passed away. Later, several sons of the old Marquis of Chengyang met with accidents one after another, and the title finally fell on you. Not long after that, Madam Wen died suddenly, and you took your childhood sweetheart as your second wife. The remaining dowry is also in the Marquis of Chengyang's mansion..." Ning Huaixuan leaned on the pearwood chair with dragon patterns and said, "Marquis Chengyang, is everything written in this document true?"

Marquis Chengyang raised his sleeve to wipe the sweat off his face. The heating in the warm room was burning too strongly, making people feel a little unclear.

"Your Majesty... these are all nonsense! When Wen Li got married, I did take some of her dowry because of my going around, but they were just normal expenses." Marquis Chengyang's eyes were bloodshot, and he looked a little crazy, "It's definitely not what Wei Zheng said!"

Wei Zheng frowned, "For some reason, all the land, shops and houses my mother owned during her lifetime were transferred to the name of Marquis Chengyang. Later, my mother died in an unclear manner. But within three months, Marquis Chengyang made Cheng, who was once his concubine, his successor..."

"What evidence do you have to accuse me of murdering your mother? How dare you slander your father with nothing in your mouth?!" Marquis Chengyang was furious. Today, the reputation of his Marquis Chengyang Mansion was ruined!

"Don't be anxious, Marquis Chengyang. Why don't you ask your wife, is it true that what you did back then did not leave any trace at all?" There was an undisguised murderous intent in Wei Zheng's dark pupils.

Cheng Liu was startled, his underwear stuck to his back, his whole body was sticky, even his mouth was dry.

"I...No, I didn't...I didn't! Master, you have to believe me, Master!"

Wei Zheng pulled the long sword from the waist of the palace guard, pierced his palm, and blood dripped into the cup.

He Hui glanced at him and thought that this man must have been poisoned, yet he didn't take care of his body.

"What are you doing?" Ning Huaixuan didn't want to see blood at the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet, but now that things had come to this point, in front of everyone, he had to continue investigating.

"Your Majesty, I have been poisoned since I was young. Your Majesty only needs to ask the imperial physician to make a careful diagnosis, and he will know how old I was when I was poisoned."

As Wei Zheng wished, the imperial physician came over and checked the blood and bandaged the wound. After a long while of taking the pulse and examining the patient, the imperial physician said, "Your Majesty, Queen Mother, the poison in the prince's body is probably from his mother's womb. The poison has been in his body for more than 20 years. The chronic poison has penetrated into his internal organs and is extremely harmful to his body. I will prescribe a prescription for the prince... Take good care of him."

After sending the imperial physician away, the truth became almost clear.

Ning Huaixuan was in a rather awkward situation. Even though Marquis Chengyang had made no contributions over the years, he had worked hard. It was also due to his contribution that he was restored to the throne this time.

If he was imprisoned for poisoning his wife, wouldn't that be the loss of another great general?
