Concubine Xian thought so in her heart, and old Mrs. Wen and others who supported the eldest prince also thought so in their hearts.
Especially Old Master Wen and Wen Shijing looked at Zhou Rui with ugly expressions, as uncomfortable as swallowing a fly.
They took all the troubles to promote Zhou Rui as the emperor, and to continue the glory of the Wen family.In the end, Zhou Rui was fine, it didn't matter if the mud couldn't support the wall, he could do any kind of crap.
Let's not talk about the fact that the Wen's family took a century-old Qingyu just because of him, just say that Zhou Ruiming had quarreled with them countless times because of Wen Jingxian's failure to give birth to a son-in-law.
Every time they felt that it was the Wen family who were sorry for Zhou Rui. After all, he was a prince. Because of Wen Jingxian's means and face, he had no sons except two girls.As for this, he only complained verbally, and still had a lot of respect for Wen Jingxian.
So they backed down again and again on some things, even if Zhou Rui did something stupid and speechless.They still feel that it's okay to be stupid, at least they still have a little bit of character.
As a result, there were hundreds of troubles, and the affectionate family already had a son, but they couldn't make it public because of the important relationship.
Old Mrs. Wen felt very uncomfortable because of this. Compared with Mrs. Wen's discomfort, Wen Shijing was not only uncomfortable but also a little dazed. He remembered that he stood up without hesitation to defend Zhou Rui just now.
He suddenly wondered whether it was worth it for him to do this for Zhou Rui.
If this kind of thing is not discovered, it is Zhou Rui's skill, and if it is discovered, it is a dead word.They all know the emperor.No matter how many stupid things Zhou Rui did, the emperor could tolerate him and find excuses for Zhou Rui.
Who let Zhou Rui be his first son, and it took more than ten years of pain to have his second son, so the mood is naturally different.Because of this, Zhou Rui occupied a very favorable position in the emperor's heart compared to other princes.
Zhou Rui is very good, relying on this point to rely on his own stupidity, so it is not enough to die, but also touch the emperor's scales.Not only was the touch successful, but it also left a handle.
Everyone in the Wen family felt very uncomfortable, but the eldest concubine Wen Jingxian and the emperor were stunned.
Ever since Wen Jingxian heard Concubine Qi's words, she was in a daze. Her eyes looked at Zhou Rui bit by bit, and then climbed from Zhou Rui's face to An Zhaoyi's face bit by bit.
She was naturally familiar with An Zhaoyi, she would always meet An Zhaoyi when she went to the palace every day to meet the concubine Xian.She is a very delicate and soft woman, and she speaks softly in front of Concubine Xian.
Because it was through Concubine Xian that he regained the favor of the emperor, so he respected Concubine Xian very much.All along, An Zhaoyi has been very grateful and has been helping Concubine Xian to help the eldest prince get the Sacred Heart.
An Zhaoyi is also very respectful to her, every time she sees herself, it seems that she is not seeing a prince concubine, but a prince concubine.Concubine Xian would sometimes persuade An Zhaoyi not to do this, but An Zhaoyi did as usual.
Wen Jingxian even looked down on An Zhaoyi sometimes in her heart. She was born in a family with the Wen family behind her, and her father was the prime minister.Since Zhou Rui married her, he has always respected and loved her, and Concubine Xian also values her very much.
Since she was born, she didn't need to act according to people's faces, and An Zhaoyi had been favored and lost, and finally won the emperor's favor by currying favor with the concubine Xian.She has gone through ups and downs, and naturally she doesn't want to be abandoned again.
So she is a dog under Concubine Xian's hands. She will bite whoever Concubine Xian asks her to bite, but when facing the people around Concubine Xian, she completely retracts her paws and becomes extra docile.
Although Concubine Xian valued Wen Jingxian highly, after she gave birth to two daughters, Concubine Xian also looked a little unhappy.As the eldest prince, Zhou Rui was serious only if he had a son under his knees.
Concubine Xian also hinted to Wen Jingxian that she should be broad-minded when she is in the royal family, and let the eldest prince keep his son first.
Wen Jingxian naturally understood the meaning of Concubine Xian's words, if she couldn't give birth, she let someone else give birth.Of course she would not, and so would the Wen family. There is a difference between the eldest son and the first son at any time.
Wen Jingxian had also been angry and cried because of these things, but An Zhaoyi often comforted her, telling her to relax and give birth to the eldest son as soon as possible, so that no one can surpass her.
Because of this, Wen Jingxian has a certain liking for An Zhaoyi in her heart, and every time she enters the palace, she always has to say a few words to her.After the relationship between the two became closer, An Zhaoyi also gave Wen Jingxian the secret of how to have a son.
Wen Jingxian's methods in the First Prince's Mansion are quite vigorous. Every time Zhou Rui dotes on others, she will let those women drink the medicine.
Her attitude is very clear, if her eldest son is not born, other people don't want to have children, she has the capital and confidence.
At first Zhou Rui was very dissatisfied with her actions, but because of the Wen family, no matter how dissatisfied Zhou Rui was, he could only hold back.
He didn't dare to offend the Wen family, and he often ignored Wen Jingxian during those days.Then, at some point, Zhou Rui gradually stopped mentioning these things, his mentality seemed to relax, and he didn't feel cold towards Wen Jingxian anymore.
Wen Jingxian thought that he was thinking about it, so she was naturally happy.
Now that I think about it, she is really stupid, her eyes are probably covered with shit.An Zhaoyi took Zhou Kang to greet the concubine Xian every day, not for the concubine Xian, but for Zhou Rui.
As the saying goes, there is a three-point love when meeting, let alone their situation.
An Zhaoyi got up by relying on the concubine Xian, and then gave birth to the fifth prince by relying on the concubine Xian.At that time, if Zhou Rui hadn't been involved in it, how could Concubine Xian not have pursued it.
No wonder Zhou Rui looked down on any of Zhou Rui's younger brothers, but Zhou Kang was different. He behaved very kindly. No wonder Zhou Rui didn't forget to take Zhou Kang with him when he ran for his life during the chaos in the animal house.Even just now, when Concubine Xian scolded An Zhaoyi, Zhou Rui's acting so weird was understandable.
It's not that Zhou Rui didn't consider the situation of Concubine Xian, but he was worried about Zhou Kang.
After thinking about this, the numbness in Wen Jingxian's eyes was slowly replaced by resentment, she stared at Zhou Rui firmly, trembling with anger.She felt that Zhou Rui's recent series of actions were simply too shameful.
Na's wife's niece is a side concubine, and she has an affair with her father, the emperor's concubine, and the two may have given birth to a son.All kinds of things seemed to be slapping her face non-stop.
Compared with Wen Jingxian's atmosphere and hatred, the other party, the emperor, was not just angry.
Maybe it was too surprised, the emperor's expression was very calm except for the initial rage.
He looked at An Zhaoyi who was kneeling on the ground with a heavy expression, but he didn't give Zhou Rui a look.
Zhou Rui's mind is completely blank now, he has no idea what he is doing, let alone denying all this with words.He wanted to calm himself down, but his heartbeat was so fast that he couldn't speak at all.
An Zhaoyi was naturally terrified of being watched by the emperor.But she calmed down at the first moment. In this weird silence, she said quietly: "Your Majesty, this concubine has been wronged. It is because someone wants to frame this concubine and the eldest prince."
At the beginning, she entered the palace at the age of a flower. She spoke softly and was also beautiful. Although she had to wait for a while to enter the palace, she was favored.But she didn't understand the rules of the palace at the time, and she was a little arrogant, so after the emperor's novelty passed, he almost fell out of favor again.
She thought it didn't matter whether she was favored or not, and she didn't want to fight for anything at first, but the life of a concubine who fell out of favor in the harem was worse than that of an ordinary palace lady.
When she was being bullied, she also wanted to be favored by the emperor.But in the harem, who is willing to help a woman snatch her only husband.
An Zhaoyi silently screened several people in her heart, and finally chose Concubine Xian.
But the threshold in Concubine Xian's Palace is too high, she can't get in just by fawning.
She met Zhou Rui when she was most frustrated and helpless. At that time, she was still very young, with a beautiful face and a beautiful body.
When Zhou Rui saw her, she was crying secretly because of being bullied by palace people.She remembered very clearly that it was a rainy day, and her tears were mixed with the rain, and she couldn't tell the difference.
Under the rain curtain, Zhou Rui stood there holding an umbrella, looking as gentle as jade.
Seeing her raise her head, Zhou Rui was a little surprised and blushed a little. He gave her the umbrella and sent her back.
Later, maybe because she was lonely or because she wanted to take revenge on the emperor, she got mixed up with Zhou Rui.
With Zhou Rui, she quickly gained face in front of Concubine Xian.However, she didn't find a chance to regain her favor quickly, so even with Concubine Xian, she would still be bullied sometimes.
And Zhou Rui could only watch her being bullied, and he couldn't bear it in his heart.
Then she was noticed by the emperor smoothly, and after she regained favor, she still hang out with Zhou Rui.There was a private meeting where the two met for the first time. At that time, Zhou Rui held hands and expressed his missing with aggrieved.
She naturally responded.
After finishing what should be said, An Zhaoyi left first, with Zhou Rui behind.
Not long after An Zhaoyi left, Zhou Rui felt uncomfortable standing at the rockery, and then he saw Zhou An not far from the rockery.
Zhou An's face was still very childish, and there was no special expression on his face when he saw him.He greeted Zhou Rui naturally, saying that he had heard people say that the imperial garden was exquisite and beautiful, and asked Zhou Rui if he wanted to go shopping together.
Zhou Rui naturally didn't go with a guilty conscience, and when he returned to the house, he became more and more flustered.He was afraid that Zhou An would hear things he shouldn't hear and see things he shouldn't see, so he found an opportunity to discuss this matter with An Zhaoyi.
The two discussed for a while and decided that Zhou An should be dealt with. No matter whether he really heard it or not, it is safest to deal with it.
Zhou Rui actually thought about telling Concubine Xian about this, An Zhaoyi knew his thoughts and held back tears to let him talk.An Zhaoyi understood that if Concubine Xian knew about this, she would surely die, Concubine Xian always wanted to protect her son's name.
After Zhou Rui thought of this, he suppressed the idea.Later, there was the incident of Zhou An falling into the water. After the incident of Zhou An falling into the water, he had repeated high fever.
When the person recovered completely, he was dumbfounded because of the high fever for too long.
Zhou Rui and An Zhaoyi were also worried that Zhou An was pretending to be stupid. They also tried a few times and found that Zhou An had no other reaction, so they relaxed their worries.
Later, An Zhaoyi had a child, counting the time, the child should be Zhou Rui's.With this secret in mind, the two have less contact, but a deeper bond.
As for Zhou An, who has always been a thorn in their hearts, both of them have suspected Zhou Jianan countless times.But seeing Concubine Qi's old appearance, they felt that they were thinking too much.
Sometimes Zhou Rui also thought, maybe Zhou An didn't see anything at all at that time, and he thought too much of his guilty conscience.
At this moment, An Zhaoyi's words were like throwing a stone into a calm lake, and everyone's eyes were focused on her.
An Zhaoyi straightened up, she looked at Concubine Qi and said, "If the second prince really found out that the concubine was having an affair with the first prince, why didn't the second prince inform the emperor? Concubine Qi said this now, the minister The fact that the concubine can be regarded as a concubine was learned from the mouth of the second prince. Why did the concubine Qi hide it all these years and suddenly choose to speak out today? The concubine also wants to ask whether the second prince is really stupid or fake, he If it is really stupid, if the concubine Qi really has the handle of the concubine and the first prince, how could she not avenge him? The second prince is not really stupid, what has he done all these years behind the emperor's back?"
"The emperor's ministers and concubines said something outrageous. Has the second prince been waiting for this opportunity? He pretended to be crazy and foolish in order to get rid of the other princes and leave him alone. By then, he would be a legitimate prince, or even the emperor. Concubine Qi When this concubine thinks about what you and the second prince have done behind the scenes all these years, I can't help but feel chills in my heart."
Even if Concubine Xian hated An Zhaoyi to death now, she couldn't help admiring her words now.An Zhaoyi didn't mention her affair with Zhou Rui at all, and directly weakened Zhou Kang's existence, but directly stated the purpose of Concubine Qi.
This is also true, whether Concubine Qi has endured it for so many years or chose to speak at this time, it is all for the throne.
That also indirectly shows that Zhou An has been pretending to be stupid all these years, what is the reason for pretending to be stupid, or the throne.
After hearing An Zhaoyi's words, Concubine Qi had a sneer on her face and said, "Back then you and the eldest prince were determined to harm the second prince. If the prince in this palace hadn't pretended to be mad and foolish to seek the protection of the emperor, how could he have escaped the evil-minded man?" you."
Concubine Qi said this, her face was full of grief, she looked at the emperor and said quietly: "The emperor knew best why the concubine didn't dare to speak back then. At that time, the concubine's father, Lord Zhen Guo, was a military official, and he was no longer liked by the emperor. , Zhen Guogong’s mansion is also gradually declining. The courtiers and concubines are not as favored as the virtuous concubine in the palace, and they are even more helpless outside the palace.”
"The second prince was born smart, so he was envied by others to win the eyes of the emperor. When he found out about this situation, he knew that he would die. I thought about it and finally thought of a way to make him pretend to be crazy. It was such a cold day at that time, you pushed him into the water cruelly. He drank medicine to reduce the fever when he got a fever. In order to avoid your suspicion, he had to let himself be frozen every time after the fever disappeared. That's why he had repeated high fever. This situation makes people believe that the second prince was burned stupid."
Speaking of this, Concubine Qi closed her eyes, two lines of tears fell from the corners of her eyes, she said in a sad and sharp tone: "If it wasn't for the fact that the concubine has no power, no power and no way, how could she just watch her son suffer? Such a great crime."
"I have been suffering hard and cautiously for these years. Because of this, I lost the emperor's favor, and I became old, even older than the concubine Xian. I don't look like a rich man at all. But I don't regret it, at least the second prince is still alive and well, and can expose your conspiracy. An Zhaoyi, don't try to deny it. Although this palace has no power these years, it has been watching you and you for this reason. Eldest prince, do you dare to say that Zhou Kang is the emperor's own son? Do you dare to let the emperor test his blood?"
Concubine Qi's words on the one hand pointed out that Zhou An was not really stupid, on the other hand brought the topic back.
Concubine Qi's last words were like sharp swords, piercing Zhou Rui and An Zhaoyi's body, and piercing the emperor's heart.No matter whose son Zhou Kang was, he had a knife in the emperor's heart.
The last thing the emperor would allow was betrayal. Now that his son and his concubine betrayed him, how could he tolerate it.
Compared with An Zhaoyi's sophistry, what Concubine Qi said was frank and poignant.Most women in this world love beauty, if it wasn't for the safety of the second prince, Concubine Qi should be a woman with a fingering cardamom and fair cheeks, not like this, with an old face and rough fingers.
Speaking of which, An Zhaoyi and Zhou Rui also thought about what would happen if Zhou An found out about their affairs. At that time, they also practiced how to speak in front of the emperor.
After many years, the traces of this matter in the hearts of the two are getting weaker and weaker.Now that someone has turned it out unexpectedly, An Zhaoyi's reaction is extremely fast, while Zhou Rui is much weaker in this regard.
With his expression, if someone really said that he had nothing to do with An Zhaoyi, it would be speaking out of conscience and talking nonsense with his eyes closed.
Things have developed to the point where most people present did not expect.
The dirtiest and most unbelievable secrets of the royal family were spread out in the sun like this. Some timid officials couldn't help but secretly wonder in their hearts whether they could come out alive today. royal palace.
And Gu Qinglin couldn't help but grab Lin Jinwen's hand. He really didn't expect the matter to develop to the present situation.An Zhaoyi, Zhou Rui and Zhou Kang, who would have thought that they have such a relationship.
Zhou An was not a fool, so did he marry Lin Wenxiu on purpose or on purpose?Does Lin Songren know what's going on here? He sat there peacefully when the Wen family supported the eldest prince. Presumably he knew the inside story.
The Lin family represented by Lin Songren probably chose Zhou An instead of Zhou Rui.That Zhou An approached Lin Jinwen again and again after he was favored by him, what was in his mind?
To test or to exploit?Does Lin Jinwen know this?Has there been any conversation between him and the second prince?
Thinking about this, Gu Qinglin couldn't help but feel chills in his heart. He didn't dare to look at Lin Jinwen, he was afraid that his eyes would reveal his emotions, and he was also afraid that if he was not careful, he would bring disaster to Lin Jinwen.
Lin Jinwen grabbed his hand under the table and silently tightened it, as if telling him not to worry.Gu Qinglin took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He knew that the scene hadn't come to an end, and there were still many things waiting for them.
At this time, the emperor who had been calm all this time moved, and he slapped An Zhaoyi hard.
An Zhaoyi was thrown to the ground, Zhou Rui moved his body as if he wanted to crawl over, the emperor turned around and kicked him hard.
The disgust in the emperor's eyes was so deep, and his eyes were icy and cold, which pierced Zhou Rui's heart.
The emperor nodded to him, and said in a calm tone: "Okay, very good, you are really my good son."
"Your Majesty, based on Concubine Qi's few words, does the Eldest Prince be found guilty?" Concubine Xian spoke at this moment, no matter how stupid Zhou Rui was, he was also her son.
Just like Concubine Qi abandoning her glory and good looks for Zhou Anneng, she can temporarily swallow her blood for Zhou Rui, trying her best to protect him.
Concubine Xian said: "When the emperor confronts his concubines, he always keeps saying that he wants evidence. Does Concubine Xian have half of the evidence for today's incident? Concubine Xian has always been unable to figure out many things, but now she finally understands."
"The second prince hides behind the crowd, so it's easy to do things. I was wondering why Bai Cainv framed Commander Xiao. I think it was also provoked by you, the second prince and Concubine Qi. You want to control the Imperial Forest Army. The fourth prince was injured and even more so." Needless to say, he got the emperor's eyes, and you can't tolerate him. Since you can hide it so deeply, you must have known the relationship between Liu Zhong and me for so many years, so you took the opportunity to put the blame on me and the eldest prince, so that The emperor despises the eldest prince and me. As for Fang Meiren, her accident is so strange and full of loopholes, you are targeting the Wen family. Because of Wen Xiang, and because the Wen family is the eldest prince's Yue family."
The more Concubine Xian said, the more she felt that what she said made sense, and many unclear things suddenly became clear.
Liu Zhong was transferred to the veterinary room. At that time, she never expected him to do anything, so she didn't touch him.Speaking of which, she didn't know what Liu Zhong was doing in the veterinary house, but when the emperor just paid attention to Zhou Rong, Liu Zhong suddenly wrote a letter saying that he was willing to help, and that he would not let anyone find out, saying that he was just to repay the kindness of Concubine Xian.
Concubine Xian didn't fully think about it at the time, Zhou Rong had an accident in the animal house, Concubine Xian naturally thought that Liu Zhong was for her sake, and when Zhou Rui and the Wen family asked if she did it, she The default is down.
And Ruan Qing's sudden betrayal testified that she also gained a reputation, because he had been bribed long ago.
Thinking of this, Concubine Xian looked at Concubine Qi with disbelief in her eyes, she thought she was calm enough to hold her breath, but she did not expect Concubine Qi and Zhou An to have such scheming.Ten years of pretending to be crazy and foolish, ten years of calculating everyone, and slowly getting rid of them one by one.
The third prince, Zhou Xiang, and the fourth prince, Zhou Rong, were all dumbfounded at this moment, and Zhou Rong's mood can be imagined, jumping up and down repeatedly.He had doubted many people, but he had never doubted Zhou An.
As for Zhou Xiang, his mood was even more ups and downs.When Concubine Qi told about the relationship between An Zhaoyi and Zhou Rui, his first reaction was that Zhou Kang could no longer be the prince.
He counted silently, and found that he was the only prince in the palace who was innocent and in good health. Does that mean that he will be made the prince by the emperor?
Thinking of this possibility, Zhou Xiang blushed with excitement, but before he could get enough of his beauty, things changed again.Zhou An was not stupid.
Zhou Xiang listened to Concubine Qi and Concubine Xian going back and forth, he suddenly felt a little stupid, never thought that there were so many things going on here.
Obviously some things seem to be done by this person, but in the end it may be done by that person.
Zhou Xiang felt that his brain was not enough.
Lin Songren finally stood up, and he said in a calm and slow voice: "Your Majesty, the eldest prince has an affair with An Zhaoyi, the fifth prince's blood is suspicious, the third prince's mother and concubine committed a capital crime by wanting to poison the emperor, and the fourth prince has a different appearance My servant, please play, make the second prince Zhou An the crown prince, so as to stabilize the government of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the hearts of the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty."
Following Lin Songren's words, the ministers who hadn't stood up just now stood up one after another, begging the emperor to make Zhou An the crown prince.
Although their number was not as large as those behind Mrs. Wen, they were not in the minority, and those military officials who had followed Duke Qizhen accounted for a large part of them.
Even if military officials are not liked by the emperor, in some cases, the soldiers under their hands are powerful.
The emperor looked at these people, he just thought it was funny.He thought he had plotted against Zhou Rui and the courtiers, but he didn't expect that everyone was plotting against him and waiting for him.
A good birthday turned into what it is now.
The funny thing should be him.
The emperor didn't laugh, but Concubine Xian laughed out loud, her eyes hurt from laughing, she said: "You all say that the first prince has done something that is unreasonable, but the second prince has done too little? He is the prince, what he has done, it is ridiculous to be worthy of being a prince."
"Concubine Xian's words are not good enough." Duke Qi Zhen stood up, without his previous old-fashioned appearance, he looked a little high-spirited, and he said leisurely: "What do those things you said have anything to do with the Second Prince?" What? Thinking about it, it is natural that there are people whose hearts are higher than the sky, who want to seek benefits from it, deliberately plant the blame on the second prince, and want to deceive the emperor's holy eyes. It's just that the sky net is not leaking, no matter how high the heart is, they will do the next thing It will be discovered eventually."
After saying this, he glanced at the crowd, and then respectfully said to the emperor: "This matter is of great importance, please investigate it carefully so that the second prince can be innocent."
Whether the fourth prince was injured, or Bai Cainv framed Xiao Rugui, etc., Zhou An couldn't do it.He wants to become the prince and emperor without any hesitation, and someone will naturally take the blame for this.
Everyone followed the line of sight of Lord Qi Zhen and looked at someone in the crowd. After focusing their eyes, some people looked complicated, and some people showed that they really did.
Especially Old Master Wen and Wen Shijing looked at Zhou Rui with ugly expressions, as uncomfortable as swallowing a fly.
They took all the troubles to promote Zhou Rui as the emperor, and to continue the glory of the Wen family.In the end, Zhou Rui was fine, it didn't matter if the mud couldn't support the wall, he could do any kind of crap.
Let's not talk about the fact that the Wen's family took a century-old Qingyu just because of him, just say that Zhou Ruiming had quarreled with them countless times because of Wen Jingxian's failure to give birth to a son-in-law.
Every time they felt that it was the Wen family who were sorry for Zhou Rui. After all, he was a prince. Because of Wen Jingxian's means and face, he had no sons except two girls.As for this, he only complained verbally, and still had a lot of respect for Wen Jingxian.
So they backed down again and again on some things, even if Zhou Rui did something stupid and speechless.They still feel that it's okay to be stupid, at least they still have a little bit of character.
As a result, there were hundreds of troubles, and the affectionate family already had a son, but they couldn't make it public because of the important relationship.
Old Mrs. Wen felt very uncomfortable because of this. Compared with Mrs. Wen's discomfort, Wen Shijing was not only uncomfortable but also a little dazed. He remembered that he stood up without hesitation to defend Zhou Rui just now.
He suddenly wondered whether it was worth it for him to do this for Zhou Rui.

Who let Zhou Rui be his first son, and it took more than ten years of pain to have his second son, so the mood is naturally different.Because of this, Zhou Rui occupied a very favorable position in the emperor's heart compared to other princes.
Zhou Rui is very good, relying on this point to rely on his own stupidity, so it is not enough to die, but also touch the emperor's scales.Not only was the touch successful, but it also left a handle.
Everyone in the Wen family felt very uncomfortable, but the eldest concubine Wen Jingxian and the emperor were stunned.
Ever since Wen Jingxian heard Concubine Qi's words, she was in a daze. Her eyes looked at Zhou Rui bit by bit, and then climbed from Zhou Rui's face to An Zhaoyi's face bit by bit.
She was naturally familiar with An Zhaoyi, she would always meet An Zhaoyi when she went to the palace every day to meet the concubine Xian.She is a very delicate and soft woman, and she speaks softly in front of Concubine Xian.
Because it was through Concubine Xian that he regained the favor of the emperor, so he respected Concubine Xian very much.All along, An Zhaoyi has been very grateful and has been helping Concubine Xian to help the eldest prince get the Sacred Heart.
An Zhaoyi is also very respectful to her, every time she sees herself, it seems that she is not seeing a prince concubine, but a prince concubine.Concubine Xian would sometimes persuade An Zhaoyi not to do this, but An Zhaoyi did as usual.
Wen Jingxian even looked down on An Zhaoyi sometimes in her heart. She was born in a family with the Wen family behind her, and her father was the prime minister.Since Zhou Rui married her, he has always respected and loved her, and Concubine Xian also values her very much.
Since she was born, she didn't need to act according to people's faces, and An Zhaoyi had been favored and lost, and finally won the emperor's favor by currying favor with the concubine Xian.She has gone through ups and downs, and naturally she doesn't want to be abandoned again.
So she is a dog under Concubine Xian's hands. She will bite whoever Concubine Xian asks her to bite, but when facing the people around Concubine Xian, she completely retracts her paws and becomes extra docile.
Although Concubine Xian valued Wen Jingxian highly, after she gave birth to two daughters, Concubine Xian also looked a little unhappy.As the eldest prince, Zhou Rui was serious only if he had a son under his knees.
Concubine Xian also hinted to Wen Jingxian that she should be broad-minded when she is in the royal family, and let the eldest prince keep his son first.

Because of this, Wen Jingxian has a certain liking for An Zhaoyi in her heart, and every time she enters the palace, she always has to say a few words to her.After the relationship between the two became closer, An Zhaoyi also gave Wen Jingxian the secret of how to have a son.
Wen Jingxian's methods in the First Prince's Mansion are quite vigorous. Every time Zhou Rui dotes on others, she will let those women drink the medicine.

An Zhaoyi was naturally terrified of being watched by the emperor.But she calmed down at the first moment. In this weird silence, she said quietly: "Your Majesty, this concubine has been wronged. It is because someone wants to frame this concubine and the eldest prince."
At the beginning, she entered the palace at the age of a flower. She spoke softly and was also beautiful. Although she had to wait for a while to enter the palace, she was favored.But she didn't understand the rules of the palace at the time, and she was a little arrogant, so after the emperor's novelty passed, he almost fell out of favor again.
She thought it didn't matter whether she was favored or not, and she didn't want to fight for anything at first, but the life of a concubine who fell out of favor in the harem was worse than that of an ordinary palace lady.
When she was being bullied, she also wanted to be favored by the emperor.But in the harem, who is willing to help a woman snatch her only husband.
An Zhaoyi silently screened several people in her heart, and finally chose Concubine Xian.
But the threshold in Concubine Xian's Palace is too high, she can't get in just by fawning.
She met Zhou Rui when she was most frustrated and helpless. At that time, she was still very young, with a beautiful face and a beautiful body.
When Zhou Rui saw her, she was crying secretly because of being bullied by palace people.She remembered very clearly that it was a rainy day, and her tears were mixed with the rain, and she couldn't tell the difference.
Under the rain curtain, Zhou Rui stood there holding an umbrella, looking as gentle as jade.
Seeing her raise her head, Zhou Rui was a little surprised and blushed a little. He gave her the umbrella and sent her back.
Later, maybe because she was lonely or because she wanted to take revenge on the emperor, she got mixed up with Zhou Rui.
With Zhou Rui, she quickly gained face in front of Concubine Xian.However, she didn't find a chance to regain her favor quickly, so even with Concubine Xian, she would still be bullied sometimes.
And Zhou Rui could only watch her being bullied, and he couldn't bear it in his heart.
Then she was noticed by the emperor smoothly, and after she regained favor, she still hang out with Zhou Rui.There was a private meeting where the two met for the first time. At that time, Zhou Rui held hands and expressed his missing with aggrieved.
She naturally responded.
After finishing what should be said, An Zhaoyi left first, with Zhou Rui behind.
Not long after An Zhaoyi left, Zhou Rui felt uncomfortable standing at the rockery, and then he saw Zhou An not far from the rockery.
Zhou An's face was still very childish, and there was no special expression on his face when he saw him.He greeted Zhou Rui naturally, saying that he had heard people say that the imperial garden was exquisite and beautiful, and asked Zhou Rui if he wanted to go shopping together.
Zhou Rui naturally didn't go with a guilty conscience, and when he returned to the house, he became more and more flustered.He was afraid that Zhou An would hear things he shouldn't hear and see things he shouldn't see, so he found an opportunity to discuss this matter with An Zhaoyi.
The two discussed for a while and decided that Zhou An should be dealt with. No matter whether he really heard it or not, it is safest to deal with it.
Zhou Rui actually thought about telling Concubine Xian about this, An Zhaoyi knew his thoughts and held back tears to let him talk.An Zhaoyi understood that if Concubine Xian knew about this, she would surely die, Concubine Xian always wanted to protect her son's name.
After Zhou Rui thought of this, he suppressed the idea.Later, there was the incident of Zhou An falling into the water. After the incident of Zhou An falling into the water, he had repeated high fever.
When the person recovered completely, he was dumbfounded because of the high fever for too long.
Zhou Rui and An Zhaoyi were also worried that Zhou An was pretending to be stupid. They also tried a few times and found that Zhou An had no other reaction, so they relaxed their worries.
Later, An Zhaoyi had a child, counting the time, the child should be Zhou Rui's.With this secret in mind, the two have less contact, but a deeper bond.
As for Zhou An, who has always been a thorn in their hearts, both of them have suspected Zhou Jianan countless times.But seeing Concubine Qi's old appearance, they felt that they were thinking too much.
Sometimes Zhou Rui also thought, maybe Zhou An didn't see anything at all at that time, and he thought too much of his guilty conscience.
At this moment, An Zhaoyi's words were like throwing a stone into a calm lake, and everyone's eyes were focused on her.
An Zhaoyi straightened up, she looked at Concubine Qi and said, "If the second prince really found out that the concubine was having an affair with the first prince, why didn't the second prince inform the emperor? Concubine Qi said this now, the minister The fact that the concubine can be regarded as a concubine was learned from the mouth of the second prince. Why did the concubine Qi hide it all these years and suddenly choose to speak out today? The concubine also wants to ask whether the second prince is really stupid or fake, he If it is really stupid, if the concubine Qi really has the handle of the concubine and the first prince, how could she not avenge him? The second prince is not really stupid, what has he done all these years behind the emperor's back?"
"The emperor's ministers and concubines said something outrageous. Has the second prince been waiting for this opportunity? He pretended to be crazy and foolish in order to get rid of the other princes and leave him alone. By then, he would be a legitimate prince, or even the emperor. Concubine Qi When this concubine thinks about what you and the second prince have done behind the scenes all these years, I can't help but feel chills in my heart."
Even if Concubine Xian hated An Zhaoyi to death now, she couldn't help admiring her words now.An Zhaoyi didn't mention her affair with Zhou Rui at all, and directly weakened Zhou Kang's existence, but directly stated the purpose of Concubine Qi.
This is also true, whether Concubine Qi has endured it for so many years or chose to speak at this time, it is all for the throne.
That also indirectly shows that Zhou An has been pretending to be stupid all these years, what is the reason for pretending to be stupid, or the throne.
After hearing An Zhaoyi's words, Concubine Qi had a sneer on her face and said, "Back then you and the eldest prince were determined to harm the second prince. If the prince in this palace hadn't pretended to be mad and foolish to seek the protection of the emperor, how could he have escaped the evil-minded man?" you."
Concubine Qi said this, her face was full of grief, she looked at the emperor and said quietly: "The emperor knew best why the concubine didn't dare to speak back then. At that time, the concubine's father, Lord Zhen Guo, was a military official, and he was no longer liked by the emperor. , Zhen Guogong’s mansion is also gradually declining. The courtiers and concubines are not as favored as the virtuous concubine in the palace, and they are even more helpless outside the palace.”
"The second prince was born smart, so he was envied by others to win the eyes of the emperor. When he found out about this situation, he knew that he would die. I thought about it and finally thought of a way to make him pretend to be crazy. It was such a cold day at that time, you pushed him into the water cruelly. He drank medicine to reduce the fever when he got a fever. In order to avoid your suspicion, he had to let himself be frozen every time after the fever disappeared. That's why he had repeated high fever. This situation makes people believe that the second prince was burned stupid."
Speaking of this, Concubine Qi closed her eyes, two lines of tears fell from the corners of her eyes, she said in a sad and sharp tone: "If it wasn't for the fact that the concubine has no power, no power and no way, how could she just watch her son suffer? Such a great crime."
"I have been suffering hard and cautiously for these years. Because of this, I lost the emperor's favor, and I became old, even older than the concubine Xian. I don't look like a rich man at all. But I don't regret it, at least the second prince is still alive and well, and can expose your conspiracy. An Zhaoyi, don't try to deny it. Although this palace has no power these years, it has been watching you and you for this reason. Eldest prince, do you dare to say that Zhou Kang is the emperor's own son? Do you dare to let the emperor test his blood?"
Concubine Qi's words on the one hand pointed out that Zhou An was not really stupid, on the other hand brought the topic back.
Concubine Qi's last words were like sharp swords, piercing Zhou Rui and An Zhaoyi's body, and piercing the emperor's heart.No matter whose son Zhou Kang was, he had a knife in the emperor's heart.
The last thing the emperor would allow was betrayal. Now that his son and his concubine betrayed him, how could he tolerate it.
Compared with An Zhaoyi's sophistry, what Concubine Qi said was frank and poignant.Most women in this world love beauty, if it wasn't for the safety of the second prince, Concubine Qi should be a woman with a fingering cardamom and fair cheeks, not like this, with an old face and rough fingers.
Speaking of which, An Zhaoyi and Zhou Rui also thought about what would happen if Zhou An found out about their affairs. At that time, they also practiced how to speak in front of the emperor.
After many years, the traces of this matter in the hearts of the two are getting weaker and weaker.Now that someone has turned it out unexpectedly, An Zhaoyi's reaction is extremely fast, while Zhou Rui is much weaker in this regard.
With his expression, if someone really said that he had nothing to do with An Zhaoyi, it would be speaking out of conscience and talking nonsense with his eyes closed.
Things have developed to the point where most people present did not expect.
The dirtiest and most unbelievable secrets of the royal family were spread out in the sun like this. Some timid officials couldn't help but secretly wonder in their hearts whether they could come out alive today. royal palace.
And Gu Qinglin couldn't help but grab Lin Jinwen's hand. He really didn't expect the matter to develop to the present situation.An Zhaoyi, Zhou Rui and Zhou Kang, who would have thought that they have such a relationship.
Zhou An was not a fool, so did he marry Lin Wenxiu on purpose or on purpose?Does Lin Songren know what's going on here? He sat there peacefully when the Wen family supported the eldest prince. Presumably he knew the inside story.
The Lin family represented by Lin Songren probably chose Zhou An instead of Zhou Rui.That Zhou An approached Lin Jinwen again and again after he was favored by him, what was in his mind?
To test or to exploit?Does Lin Jinwen know this?Has there been any conversation between him and the second prince?
Thinking about this, Gu Qinglin couldn't help but feel chills in his heart. He didn't dare to look at Lin Jinwen, he was afraid that his eyes would reveal his emotions, and he was also afraid that if he was not careful, he would bring disaster to Lin Jinwen.
Lin Jinwen grabbed his hand under the table and silently tightened it, as if telling him not to worry.Gu Qinglin took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He knew that the scene hadn't come to an end, and there were still many things waiting for them.
At this time, the emperor who had been calm all this time moved, and he slapped An Zhaoyi hard.
An Zhaoyi was thrown to the ground, Zhou Rui moved his body as if he wanted to crawl over, the emperor turned around and kicked him hard.
The disgust in the emperor's eyes was so deep, and his eyes were icy and cold, which pierced Zhou Rui's heart.
The emperor nodded to him, and said in a calm tone: "Okay, very good, you are really my good son."
"Your Majesty, based on Concubine Qi's few words, does the Eldest Prince be found guilty?" Concubine Xian spoke at this moment, no matter how stupid Zhou Rui was, he was also her son.
Just like Concubine Qi abandoning her glory and good looks for Zhou Anneng, she can temporarily swallow her blood for Zhou Rui, trying her best to protect him.
Concubine Xian said: "When the emperor confronts his concubines, he always keeps saying that he wants evidence. Does Concubine Xian have half of the evidence for today's incident? Concubine Xian has always been unable to figure out many things, but now she finally understands."
"The second prince hides behind the crowd, so it's easy to do things. I was wondering why Bai Cainv framed Commander Xiao. I think it was also provoked by you, the second prince and Concubine Qi. You want to control the Imperial Forest Army. The fourth prince was injured and even more so." Needless to say, he got the emperor's eyes, and you can't tolerate him. Since you can hide it so deeply, you must have known the relationship between Liu Zhong and me for so many years, so you took the opportunity to put the blame on me and the eldest prince, so that The emperor despises the eldest prince and me. As for Fang Meiren, her accident is so strange and full of loopholes, you are targeting the Wen family. Because of Wen Xiang, and because the Wen family is the eldest prince's Yue family."
The more Concubine Xian said, the more she felt that what she said made sense, and many unclear things suddenly became clear.
Liu Zhong was transferred to the veterinary room. At that time, she never expected him to do anything, so she didn't touch him.Speaking of which, she didn't know what Liu Zhong was doing in the veterinary house, but when the emperor just paid attention to Zhou Rong, Liu Zhong suddenly wrote a letter saying that he was willing to help, and that he would not let anyone find out, saying that he was just to repay the kindness of Concubine Xian.
Concubine Xian didn't fully think about it at the time, Zhou Rong had an accident in the animal house, Concubine Xian naturally thought that Liu Zhong was for her sake, and when Zhou Rui and the Wen family asked if she did it, she The default is down.
And Ruan Qing's sudden betrayal testified that she also gained a reputation, because he had been bribed long ago.
Thinking of this, Concubine Xian looked at Concubine Qi with disbelief in her eyes, she thought she was calm enough to hold her breath, but she did not expect Concubine Qi and Zhou An to have such scheming.Ten years of pretending to be crazy and foolish, ten years of calculating everyone, and slowly getting rid of them one by one.
The third prince, Zhou Xiang, and the fourth prince, Zhou Rong, were all dumbfounded at this moment, and Zhou Rong's mood can be imagined, jumping up and down repeatedly.He had doubted many people, but he had never doubted Zhou An.
As for Zhou Xiang, his mood was even more ups and downs.When Concubine Qi told about the relationship between An Zhaoyi and Zhou Rui, his first reaction was that Zhou Kang could no longer be the prince.
He counted silently, and found that he was the only prince in the palace who was innocent and in good health. Does that mean that he will be made the prince by the emperor?
Thinking of this possibility, Zhou Xiang blushed with excitement, but before he could get enough of his beauty, things changed again.Zhou An was not stupid.
Zhou Xiang listened to Concubine Qi and Concubine Xian going back and forth, he suddenly felt a little stupid, never thought that there were so many things going on here.
Obviously some things seem to be done by this person, but in the end it may be done by that person.
Zhou Xiang felt that his brain was not enough.
Lin Songren finally stood up, and he said in a calm and slow voice: "Your Majesty, the eldest prince has an affair with An Zhaoyi, the fifth prince's blood is suspicious, the third prince's mother and concubine committed a capital crime by wanting to poison the emperor, and the fourth prince has a different appearance My servant, please play, make the second prince Zhou An the crown prince, so as to stabilize the government of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the hearts of the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty."
Following Lin Songren's words, the ministers who hadn't stood up just now stood up one after another, begging the emperor to make Zhou An the crown prince.
Although their number was not as large as those behind Mrs. Wen, they were not in the minority, and those military officials who had followed Duke Qizhen accounted for a large part of them.
Even if military officials are not liked by the emperor, in some cases, the soldiers under their hands are powerful.
The emperor looked at these people, he just thought it was funny.He thought he had plotted against Zhou Rui and the courtiers, but he didn't expect that everyone was plotting against him and waiting for him.
A good birthday turned into what it is now.
The funny thing should be him.
The emperor didn't laugh, but Concubine Xian laughed out loud, her eyes hurt from laughing, she said: "You all say that the first prince has done something that is unreasonable, but the second prince has done too little? He is the prince, what he has done, it is ridiculous to be worthy of being a prince."
"Concubine Xian's words are not good enough." Duke Qi Zhen stood up, without his previous old-fashioned appearance, he looked a little high-spirited, and he said leisurely: "What do those things you said have anything to do with the Second Prince?" What? Thinking about it, it is natural that there are people whose hearts are higher than the sky, who want to seek benefits from it, deliberately plant the blame on the second prince, and want to deceive the emperor's holy eyes. It's just that the sky net is not leaking, no matter how high the heart is, they will do the next thing It will be discovered eventually."
After saying this, he glanced at the crowd, and then respectfully said to the emperor: "This matter is of great importance, please investigate it carefully so that the second prince can be innocent."
Whether the fourth prince was injured, or Bai Cainv framed Xiao Rugui, etc., Zhou An couldn't do it.He wants to become the prince and emperor without any hesitation, and someone will naturally take the blame for this.
Everyone followed the line of sight of Lord Qi Zhen and looked at someone in the crowd. After focusing their eyes, some people looked complicated, and some people showed that they really did.
