The daily life of a bereaved salted fish

Originally, when everyone heard that the emperor was not the son of the first emperor, their expressions were still a little dignified.

Now, after listening to Yao Ji's words, and looking at the emperor again, I found that it was indeed as she said, from some angles, Jiang Wu and the late emperor were almost carved out of the same mold.

Grand Master Wen also relaxed, and echoed: "Before this old minister, I heard from the late Emperor that His Majesty is the one who resembles him the most among all the princes."

But the Empress Dowager did not let Yao Ji go: "Aijia heard that this person will gradually become the same in appearance after getting along with others for a long time. Yao Ji, do you have other ways to prove that your majesty is the son of the late emperor."

Yao Ji never dreamed that Jiang Wu would reveal this matter.

This child is really desperate, and it is really completely out of her control.She clenched her fingers tightly and said, "Liang."

"When I met the late emperor in the south of the Yangtze River, the late emperor pitied me that I had no father or mother, so he always took me by his side. For more than a year, we were just a master-servant relationship. On the second day of serving the bed, the late emperor named me Cairen, later on, often came to my bedroom, and at that time, every time I attended the bedroom, there was a note on the living room, and all of these can be matched with the birth time of His Majesty."

The Empress Dowager said: "Perhaps, you also bought the living man."

"Everything I have was given by the late emperor!!" Yao Ji hissed: "What did I use to bribe the living man?! Dare I ask my mother, has she ever seen or heard me getting too close to any guard or other people? Besides, What kind of temperament is the former living man? His Majesty’s slips of the tongue, he has to write down every single one. He has no human taste at all. Can he be bribed by me? What can I do? "

The empress dowager ordered someone to invite the living man again, and when she realized that Jiang Wusang was very serious, she said again: "It's already night, Yin Shu, take your majesty down to have something to eat, and then sleep for a while."

If you don't understand this matter, don't think about An Sheng tonight.

Jiang Wu was taken to lie down for a while, and when he came back again, the living man had already arrived, and someone brought over the records of the late emperor's daily life, the imperial physician who diagnosed Yao Ji's happy pulse, and various medical documents. Every time Yao Ji leaves the palace, there are records of all kinds of money in and out.

All the records showed one thing, Yao Ji had only met one man privately during the period from the time she went to bed to her pregnancy, and that was the first emperor.Later, the only second man she could see was Jiang Wu, the child she gave birth to in October of her pregnancy.In the rest of the scenes where the outsider can be seen, the late Emperor or other people are almost present.

After tossing all night, everyone is a little tired.

These records are indeed a bit boring, and there is no doubt that can be found at all. Of course, if you have to say something, some records are missing, but in the past 20 years It is indeed a bit difficult for someone to explain clearly what she has done to prove her innocence.

And some things she couldn't explain clearly just proved the authenticity of the record.

Wen Taishi and Chen Xiang felt that the matter had settled down, and both yawned.

But other insiders knew very well that the trial of Yao Ji and the moment when Jiang Wu was innocent had just begun.

The empress dowager let everyone show tea, and Yao Ji was full of grievances: "The matter has come to this, the empress mother should believe that Wu'er is indeed unwell and talking nonsense."

Empress Dowager Wen covered her mouth, feeling a little sleepy, and she suggested: "Since the matter has come to light, Empress Mother, let her go back."

Yao Ji raised her hand to wipe away her tears.

His face was full of aggrieved look.

"No hurry, everyone drink some tea to refresh yourself."

Yao Ji subconsciously went to look at Jiang Wu, not sure what else he said.She couldn't help becoming vigilant, and said: "What other orders does the queen mother have?"

"The Ai family asks you." The Empress Dowager said: "Since His Majesty has always been the son of the late Emperor, why did you lie and say that he was not?"

"I didn't say it."

When Jiang Wu heard that he was mentioned, he cheered up again: "Yes."

Yao Ji said viciously, "I didn't!"

Jiang Wu: "..."

She didn't get enough sleep, she couldn't be more fierce.

Putting a hand on his shoulder, Yin Wuzhi said bluntly: "If not, why would Your Majesty fabricate such a lie in front of everyone?"

"How do I know what he thinks." Yao Ji was very angry: "He seems to have changed since last year, he has no respect for his mother, and now he can even say such words, I think He's getting sicker and sicker."

The rest of the people came to see Jiang Wu, feeling a little inquisitive and worried.

Yin Wuzhi couldn't see Jiang Wu being said so, he said: "Don't Queen Mother Yao know that His Majesty will behave like this, and everything started from the secret you told him?"

Yao Ji recalled that he knew the secret of the two of them, her eyebrows overflowed with murderous intent, and said, "Yin Wuzhi, stop talking nonsense."

The Empress Dowager said: "Yin Shu, do you know what the secret is?"

Yin Wuzhi stepped forward, saluted and said: "Go back to the Empress Dowager, I would like to ask Your Majesty to go back to the small courtyard to rest first."

Jiang Wu naturally refused: "I want to listen."

He also understood that the main event was next, if the Empress Dowager wanted to punish Yao Ji, he would rush forward regardless, forcing the Empress Dowager to kill him too.

The Empress Dowager said: "Say it straight."

Yin Wuzhi straightened up, looked at Yao Ji, and said, "You may not know that before I entered the palace, His Majesty wiped his neck with a knife."

The veterans gasped one after another, hearing that the Grand Master was heartbroken and said: "How could this be so?!"

King Dingnan also said: "Didn't you say there were assassins in the palace?"

"Those are all to prevent riots." After Yin Wuzhi explained briefly, he said: "Before that, Empress Dowager Yao had been harsh on Your Majesty, did you say anything wrong?"

Yao Ji said: "I did it for his own good, if it wasn't for me, how could you have such an excellent His Majesty."

"It's a bit too cruel for a child to be beaten and needled."

This matter can be said to be a secret in the palace, Chen Xiang and Wen Taishi suddenly became energetic.

Yao Ji said bitterly: "The Ai family educates the children, and it's your turn to point fingers."

There was disapproval in the Taishi's eyes: "Queen Mother, please listen to Yin Shu."

He is a patriarch, Yao Ji didn't dare to be presumptuous, so she had to swallow her anger and subconsciously went to see Jiang Wu.She knew that at this point, only Jiang Wu could stop it.

Jiang Wu was listening to Yin Wuzhi seriously, his eyes showed seriousness.

Yin Wuzhi said: "Because of Queen Mother Yao's harsh education first, the day before His Majesty cut herself with a knife, someone saw that Queen Mother Yao had gone to look for Her Majesty, so Queen Mother Wen guessed whether it was because Queen Mother Yao said What provoked His Majesty, so he asked the minister to stay in the palace and try to find out about it."

"So that's how it is." Chen Xiang understood the reason why Yin Wuzhi hadn't left the palace, and said, "What did you find out?"

Yao Ji said, "I'm tired."

"Awen, hold her down."

Empress Dowager Wen stood up, blocked Yao Ji in front of the chair, and said, "Go after listening."

Yao Ji's nails dug into the flesh, and pinched herself heavily.

Yin Wuzhi suddenly looked at Jiang Wu and said, "What's wrong, Your Majesty?"

Jiang Wu calmly shook his head.

Yin Wuzhi frowned, making sure he was fine, and said: "In the beginning, I really didn't find anything, until some time ago, His Majesty suddenly told me that Empress Dowager Yao told him a secret, if I let some veterans know, It will definitely kill their mother and child."

"Yin Wuzhi, don't spout blood."

Chen Xiang asked, "What's the secret?"

Yin Wuzhi said: "Master, please be at ease and don't be impatient. Before that, I want to ask Queen Mother Yao, have you seen this person?"

He took out a portrait and handed it to Yao Ji, who glanced at it with a serious look on his face.Empress Dowager Wen probed her head and said, "This is Wu'er."

"No, this is the masked man I met in Qidi."

After seeing it, several senior ministers were also deeply surprised: "This person is exactly the same as His Majesty."

Jiang Wu's eyebrows and eyes are too delicate, which is rare in the world. If he goes out with his face covered, anyone who has seen him will recognize him.

"This is Zhao Guo." Yin Wuzhi spoke again, everyone was a little surprised, Empress Dowager Wen said: "Zhao people?"

Yao Ji's eyes fluttered.

Chen Xiangdao: "This person is so similar to His Majesty, I'm afraid it's a hidden danger."

Wen Taishi said: "It's just a pair of eyebrows, it can't prove anything."

Yin Wuzhi: "At that time, my fellow minister thought that this person was a disease, and the king of Qi also said the same thing. Grand master, please take a look at this picture."

He pulled out another piece of paper, which was a full face.After watching it, everyone was silent.The paper was brought in front of Yao Ji all the way, and Yao Ji's face became more and more ugly.

It was a face at least seven points similar to Jiang Wu's, especially the pair of eyebrows and eyes, which were exactly the same.

The Empress Dowager asked, "Who is this person?"

Yin Wuzhi didn't betray Guanzi: "This is the prince of Zhao, Zhao Cheng."

"Some time ago, I met him in Qidi. After I came back, I was always uneasy, worried that this person would become a disaster. Later, by accident, I learned something else by accident, so I sent people to Zhao Guo to inquire about it. Here comes this portrait."

He looked at Yao Ji and said: "The Empress Dowager Yao doesn't want to hear about it, what did I know?"

Yao Ji tried to calm down, and said with a sneer, "I don't know."

"From Brother Ziyan, I accidentally learned a rumor about Zhao State, saying that King Wen Zhao Ying once married the daughter of the He family. She was humiliated and died in Zhao Wang's palace. Brother Ziyan said emphatically that the daughter of the He family's concubine was born extremely beautiful, and it is hard to find in the world."

Wen Taishi said: "I have also heard about this matter. King Zhao Wen endured the humiliation and avenged the woman. Now he has killed his brother to seize the throne and become a great treasure."

"Brother Ziyan also said the same thing." Yin Wuzhi continued: "We also talked about Prince Jiang Yuan being framed for rebellion and shot dead in the ancestral temple. Speaking of which, Zhao Cheng was arrested at that time, and King Ning Dragging his seriously injured body to find him for an antidote, he hijacked him and fled. Before that, Queen Mother Yao seemed to have visited King Ning?"

Yao Ji was silent.

"It doesn't matter if Empress Dowager Yao doesn't say anything. I have already gone to Prince Ning's Mansion to inquire about this matter. If you need to send a message to inquire, you may have to wait." Yin Wuzhi said: "I will continue."

"Then, when I took His Majesty out to relax, I accidentally saw a mouse that was frozen to death in the ice. A mouse can swim naturally, so it is not uncommon to be frozen to death. But what made me feel strange was that not long after, I Then I heard that Empress Dowager Yao is afraid of mice, so she even raised a cat."

"What's so strange about this." Dingnan Wang listened with relish at first, and immediately corrected him: "People who are afraid of mice keep cats to scare away mice."

"But Queen Mother Yao kept the cat in a cage."

Yao Ji said: "I also have free-range Xue Ya'er."

Chen Xiangdao: "From this, what did you discover?"

"I remembered at that time that the people of Zhao State are very good at voodoo and voodoo, and they can use voodoo to drive animals." Yin Wuzhi said to King Dingnan, "Father should remember that when we were fighting in southern Xinjiang, we found that they used rats to drive animals." Deliver the letter."

King Dingnan said: "It is true."

Speaking of this matter, Grand Master Wen and Chen Xiang already understood that Yao Ji's identity is probably not trivial.

The former said: "You say yes, the Queen Mother keeps cats, it's just a cover."

But Yao Ji said: "Because Xue Ya'er is always running around, I will lock her up occasionally."

"So, what about poisoning the Empress Dowager?"

Yao Ji said: "The queen mother has already punished me. This is because she always restricts me from getting close to Wu'er. The poison is not fatal."

"If it's just the poison, it's naturally not fatal. But before I heard from the envoy of Qin that last year, when the Empress Dowager was born, His Majesty gave her a glorious bamboo, which will bloom in spring. Very rare."

Empress Dowager Wen was startled: "What does this mean?"

"Back to the queen mother, I checked later. That bamboo is called Rongzhu in my Great Xia, but it is called Zhuyexiang in Zhao State. Once it is mixed with any drug containing hallucinations, it will be highly poisonous and penetrate the intestines." fragrant."

The Empress Dowager gasped, Yao Ji slapped the table to stand up, but was pushed back by Empress Dowager Wen, she said: "Full of nonsense! I never thought of killing my mother!"

Yin Wuzhi said again: "Now, Grand Master thinks, those eyes are still not threatening?"

Wen Taishi was also shocked when he heard it, he said: "If that person is really Zhao Cheng, the prince of Zhao, and he sneaks into Guanjing with his mask masked, once he does something evil... Plus, what you said just now, if he is too The poisoning of the Empress Dowager is related to the pot of Rongzhu given by His Majesty..."

"It's more than that." Yin Wuzhi said: "The Empress Dowager Yao also told Your Majesty that he was not the late Emperor's own son, but Zhao Ying's son."

The cup in Chen Xiang's hand made a knocking sound, and he put the cup back on the table with a sullen face, and said, "If everything goes to the worst direction, then the empress dowager will be poisoned, and Zhao Cheng will sneak into Guanjing, cover his face and kill a few people at random. Personally, all things broke out together, His Majesty is naturally unable to argue."

Not only that, before this, everyone thought that Jiang Wu became the emperor by picking up a loophole, and all these things will be revealed by then.All the brothers died, disabled, sick, and the sins of hurting these people will all be blamed on him.

"That's why, when I see those eyes, I feel my scalp go numb."

Wen Taishi's face was ugly: "So Empress Dowager Yao is the wife of King Zhao Wen and the daughter of the He family. She deceived His Majesty that she was not born of the late emperor, but born of Emperor Zhao, in order to make His Majesty treason?"

"exactly."

Yao Ji couldn't help laughing, and said, "Yin Wuzhi, what do you mean by these words, are you saying that I'm deliberately framing Wu'er? I'm his biological mother, so I'm strict with him. Push him into the fire pit with your own hands?"

"You can force His Majesty to get up early to study at the age of three, whip him to practice martial arts at the age of five, and even prick his skin with blood spots with a small needle. It is not surprising for a person like you to do anything."

Yao Ji glanced at Jiang Wu again, and said, "Wu'er, you trust your mother, she has absolutely no intention of putting you to death."

Yin Wuzhi blocked her gaze at Jiang Wu, her eyes were indifferent: "Empress Yao, admit it, you are a Zhao Guo spy, the daughter of the He family, the wife of King Wen, and you gave birth to Your Majesty only to use him. He's just a tool for you every step of the way, and you don't care what he thinks."

"What do you know!"

"I don't understand anything, but I believe His Majesty will never want to see your hypocritical appearance again." Yin Wuzhi said with disgust: "How can there be someone like you in the world, how can you be a mother."

Yao Ji's eyes were red, her lips trembled, and she said, "Wu'er told you all this?"

"You don't know, your majesty also did it on purpose when he fell off the cliff a few days ago."

Seeing Yao Ji's shock, he said, "It's because of you, you have repeatedly driven him to a dead end, and now His Majesty has confessed everything to everyone, but you still dare not admit it, Queen Mother Yao, you are so selfish. Before, have you ever really been a mother? Have you really thought about him?"

"Of course I do!" Yao Ji said, "I do. If I didn't want to take him home, how could I have worked so hard to plan..."

"Home." Yin Wuzhi said: "Your Majesty's home is here, and your home is in Zhao State. What kind of plan, your plan is only for yourself, to go back to see your son and husband in Zhao State!"

The matter had been completely revealed, Yao Ji was in a daze for a moment, she couldn't see Jiang Wu, and couldn't tell what Jiang Wu was feeling now, she said: "What the hell are you, how do you know?"

"You haven't really done a secret whistle." He is stating: "There are too many flaws, you may not remember that on the day your majesty fainted, you blurted out a bitter doctor. I just went to check it some time ago, Zhao Guoguo teacher There is a disciple whose surname is Ku, because the pronunciation of Ku is similar to that of Gu, I didn’t take it seriously at the time, but when I thought about it later, it seems that Imperial Physician Gu entered the palace around the time of the late Emperor’s death, did you arrange it?”

"There is also your unreasonable hatred for the minister. Why don't you know how to restrain yourself? When you mentioned that I lured He Wei into the game with my tongue, you couldn't help stepping on my hand. When you first experienced these things, you didn't feel that much. But once there is a breach, it will all become clues, and now, I advise you to think more about it for His Majesty, admit it as soon as possible, and fulfill your responsibility as a mother."

Yao Ji was short of breath, and several veteran officials had different complexions.

In the end, it was Empress Dowager Wen's words that broke the silence: "Did you plan to kill Yuan'er?"

"At first, I didn't think about killing him." Yao Ji finally compromised, and she said, "Yes, I am Zhao Ying's wife, the daughter of the He family who should have died but didn't. My name is He Qiu. I I was originally married to Zhao Ying, my childhood sweetheart, playing the piano and playing harmoniously, but Zhao Jing stepped in, poisoned Zhao Ying, and took me captive to Zhao Palace."

"I worked so hard to escape from there, and before I could find Zhao Ying, I was taken to the Kingdom of Xia by Ren Yazi. I have no relatives here, and only after I met the late emperor did I barely have a place to live." Yao Ji smiled bitterly. Said: "I wanted to go home from the beginning, but I couldn't go back alone. I have a special status in Zhao State, and I didn't dare to let the late emperor know, so I concealed it... At the beginning, I also thought about staying here. , but I can't bear it, every time you win, you look so happy, I am Zhao Ren, my father died at the hands of your general, how can I deal with myself here?"

"So I forced Wu'er to grow up, and wanted to borrow his hand to go home."

"Later, you also know that Zhao Cheng came to Guanjing to be a spy. He is my own child. I didn't even have time to hug him back then. He brought me the news of my mother. She lost her husband and her child. Now that I hear that I am still alive, I look forward to seeing me, just at that time, that year..." She looked at Yin Wuzhi, choked up and said, "You killed my brother He Wei."

"I couldn't help it, so when Zhao Cheng was arrested, I helped him. Yuan'er was killed by me. I can't help it. You also killed my family."

The Empress Dowager said angrily: "Prince Ning has been poisoned, is it you?"

"King Ning is not me. He was simply being targeted by Zhao Ying. At that time, I hadn't even gotten in touch with Zhao Guo."

"What about King Qi?" The Empress Dowager asked: "In order to prove that he was not the one who framed the emperor's brother, he crippled his own legs to show his innocence. Was that also due to your design?"

"How could I have imagined that King Qi would be so strong that he would cripple his own legs." Yao Ji said in a daze, "But it's a good thing that he is disabled, so he doesn't have to die, but he was kicked out of Guanjing and never returned... "

Empress Dowager Wen slapped her across the face.

The Empress Dowager frowned.

This slap seemed to wake her up, she bit the blood from the corner of her mouth, and looked at Jiang Wu.

They are all elegant people. Empress Dowager Wen was so angry that she just said: "They are all children you watched growing up."

"Wu'er is still my own." Only when Jiang Wu was mentioned, did she reveal some guilt in her eyes: "I just want to take him home, to our own home."

"He is the son of the late emperor, and his family is here. If you take him back to Zhao, do you think Zhao Ying will let him go?"

"Do you think that the late emperor didn't find anything back then?" Yao Ji was still looking in Jiang Wu's direction: "But he still let me go, Wu'er, come home with me, I will naturally have a way to protect him."

Yin Wuzhi asked, "What did you do?"

At this moment, a very slight sound came, and Jiang Wu stood up.

His face was burning with pain.

In fact, he had discovered it ever since Yao Ji was caught by a cat.Zhao people are good at Gu, Yao Ji must have cast some Gu on him and herself, so when she was injured, Jiang Wu could also feel the pain.

She hurt her forehead the day before yesterday, and Jiang Wu's head hurt for several days.

Only then did Empress Dowager Caiwen slap her, and Jiang Wu was sure that he guessed right.

Why he dreamed that his father told him not to hurt his mother, the answer is obvious.

He must have found out about this, if Yao Ji was injured, Jiang Wu would also feel pain.

Why does Yao Ji say that she has the ability to save Jiang Wu? Maybe she can tie the life of King Zhao Wen to Jiang Wu when she arrives in Zhao State, so everything will be safe.

But others apparently don't know yet.

Jiang Wu understands that this is one-sided. Yao Ji will hurt him if he hurts him, but he won't hurt Yao Ji if he hurts her.

Then, as long as Yao Ji died, he could die too.

Yin Wuzhi stopped him suddenly: "Your Majesty."

"I have something to tell my mother."

The Empress Dowager said: "After tossing all night, you should be tired, let Yin Shu take you back to rest."

Yin Wuzhi carried him back to the wheelchair.

Jiang Wu asked: "Grandmother, didn't you kill your mother?"

Yao Ji was stunned for a moment, pain flashed across her eyes.

The Empress Dowager said: "This matter is of great importance. The Ai family has to discuss it with all the good students. You should rest well."

Yin Wuzhi pushed the wheelchair and sent him back to the courtyard.

Jiang Wu was carried to the hammock again, and the first thing he did was to tell Yin Wuzhi: "Mother should die."

Yin Wuzhi said: "I know."

"You help me and kill her."

Yin Wuzhi was in a daze for a moment, and suddenly felt that the words seemed familiar, and he said, "What?"

"Kill her." Jiang Wu said, "Yin Wuzhi will do anything for me, right?"

"Chen, I can't hear you clearly." Yin Wuzhi frowned and said, "What did you say?"

He really couldn't hear clearly, he only saw Jiang Wu's lips moving vaguely, as if a force closed his ear consciousness, and he couldn't even remember what he said just now.

Jiang Wu: "."

"Your Majesty, say it again."

"I said you were a pig."

I can hear you clearly now.Yin Wuzhi couldn't help laughing, kissed him on the lips, and said: "This minister is narrow-minded."

"If you can think that your majesty can die and live later, I have asked you to tell the world about it."

If he could think of this ending, Jiang Wu wouldn't say a word.
