Chapter 263 Secret Interrogation
After a moment of silence, the emperor held his breath, still unbelievable, "Mr. Kang, do you know what it means to falsely accuse the empress?"

The voice is cold, the breath is thick, but it is still loud.

"If it's the slave who made a false accusation after investigation, I'm willing to subdue the law with Qing Heng's family." Concubine Kang spoke clearly, with a trembling voice.

This is Yashang Qingheng's net worth, and if the emperor does not believe in such a vow, there is nothing he can do.

But she was betting on Daxia's country, and she didn't believe that the emperor would play games with her blood.Besides, the relationship between the emperor and the empress is not necessarily as deep as that with the younger sister.

If she doesn't swear by blood, after tonight is over, there will be no more results in this matter.

The emperor's body is weak, but his head is very clear.

Concubine Kang didn't just testify against the queen's false pregnancy.Even though the matter of fake pregnancy is huge, it's not her turn to come forward.

The emperor leaned back on the pillow, looking at the cloud patterns on the algae well surrounded by phoenixes and peonies.

In fact, he has [-]% to [-]% of the letter.These days, he didn't stay in Jingren Palace again, so he took advantage of the Queen's loophole.Otherwise, it would definitely not be as unbearable as it is today.

Concubine Kang's identification of the queen was not out of her loyalty.Obviously, if the empress had a fake pregnancy, where did the brother next to her come from?

Thinking of this, the emperor's head hurt even more.Such dirty things, but Guo Qian is not around, I can't stand it.

Concubine Kang didn't hear the emperor's movement, so she sneaked a suspicious look, and the emperor stared blankly at the caisson, as if. . .Could it be that the emperor was overwhelmed with anger?

A heart in her chest was beating extremely chaotically, and now, she has no way out.From the moment she met that person, she knew that the Qingheng family had no way out.The younger sister is still in a coma, she can't count on it, even if she can't count on it, she doesn't know anything.

Fortunately, Guo Qian came in a hurry, and there was no way to go under his feet, and he was in a mess.

Eunuch Guo had never been so flustered before.

The secret midwife has also arrived, she is an old man in the palace, and even the emperor was brought into this world by her.After these years, she has grown old and raised her, but no one in the palace can compare to the experience of delivering babies.

It's the easiest way to verify whether the queen has just been born.But if you want to find someone who everyone can trust, it must be her.

Accompanied by Guo Qian, he led the way by lighting a lamp to the queen's bedroom in the main hall.

After hearing Eunuch Guo's understatement, the queen thanked behind the curtain, "Everything is fine, slave, and I'm not feeling well, so I won't bother you to take care of the cooking yourself. Hai Ruo, take me home for me."

Here, Guo Qian tried to persuade her, saying that it was the kindness of the master, and specially invited the old lady to check on the empress, so as not to leave anything wrong.The queen insisted on refusing, and if she said too much, the queen yelled at her, saying that she and her elder brother had just slept, and whoever disturbed her would be rewarded with a hundred boards.

Guo Qian answered from outside the door, and the emperor stood two feet away, frowning with his hands behind his back, listening to every sentence.

The queen's words didn't come to fruition, and the emperor said, "It's what I meant. The queen gave birth to the emperor for Da Xia, and she worked hard. During the birth, I was busy with government affairs and didn't guard it personally, so I couldn't let it go. Why, the queen still refuses?"

The room was silent for a while, and the queen said, "Long Live Lord is sympathetic, it's the slave's blessing. It's just that I'm very sleepy right now, and I really don't have the energy to make trouble."

Everyone listened intently to the voice from the other side of the curtain, not daring to speak, the emperor's breath suddenly became thicker, and just as he was about to speak, there was a soft cry from inside the room, it was the newly born elder brother who woke up from crying.

Probably because of being woken up, the newborn baby loves to sleep, was woken up for no reason, was extremely impatient, and cried endlessly.Then there was the queen's gentle sound of coaxing her to sleep, and she handed it over, but the elder brother obviously didn't buy it, and cried even harder.

Hai Ruo lifted the curtain and came out, kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty gave birth for a day, it was really hard work, I still don't worry about my little elder brother, I insist on taking care of it by myself, this slave has the guts to ask Long Live Lord, Your Majesty, to rest first..."

This request was not unreasonable when the Queen of Common Reason was at her weakest just after giving birth.

It's just that the emperor was determined, and all he heard were excuses.

He ignored Hai Ruo, snorted coldly, and said in a mean tone, "The empress doesn't even accept my kindness, could it be that she deliberately hides something from me? Otherwise, why don't you dare let the nanny see it?...Today I must let the nanny I can rest assured after seeing it for myself. Go, take the little elder brother away." He raised his chin and signaled, "Even if the queen refuses, you have to do your best for me."

At this point, everyone was trembling with fear, Guo Qian had no choice but to bow to the curtain and salute, pouted to let someone break in.

The little elder brother was snatched from his arms, and several exquisite nuns saluted the queen, babbling disrespectfully, and went up to hold the queen up.

Hai Ruo followed in and saw that these nuns were unfamiliar, she couldn't stop them alone, and she didn't dare to stop them, that would be against the holy order.

Shu Lan had a calm face, sat up from the bed, stood barefoot on the footrest, and shouted loudly, "Will Master Long Live not save any face for the slaves?"

With a cold face, the emperor sat on the armchair carried by Guo Qian without making a sound.

I waited in the curtain for a while, but I didn't hear any reply. Just as I was about to continue, the queen said again, "Emperor! This slave has something to do, it's about elder brother, I want to report to you alone!"

Hearing this sound, the emperor slumped back.What else to say, if he didn't want to know where the little elder brother came from, he didn't even want to look at this poisonous woman.

But right now, he still has to make false claims with her.

Concubine Kang was sobbing and sobbing in the back.Qingheng's family finally escaped a catastrophe and passed the first test, but the more difficult ones are yet to come.

The emperor scolded angrily, "I promoted you as the queen of the Great Xia Kingdom, and you, Amagui, are the chief minister of the imperial court. What are you dissatisfied with? You did such a thing! The old faces of your Doni family for several lifetimes Throw it all away!" Panting, he paced back and forth, pointing at the queen who was kneeling on the ground with hatred, and then sneered, "I forgot, there is your good Ama behind you. This matter is naturally all his Planning, do your Doni family want my country? Say it, say it!"

Everyone drove out, and there were only the two of them in the house at the moment.Shu Lan knelt on the ground with a pale face, quietly listening to the emperor's constant venting.When the emperor finally stopped and was willing to listen to her, she said quietly,
"Master, Shu Lan just wants to know, what's wrong with Shu Lan, have you ever been separated from me?"

The corners of her mouth were bitter, she was infinitely sad, and she had been in the palace for several years, if the emperor treated her half as well as the former empress, how could she not give birth to a man and a woman?Even the queen mother is satisfied with her.Only the emperor will always treat her like a stranger.

She and the emperor should be of one mind.Even if it is Ama, she is not obedient.The teacher I hired since I was a child is the most profound Confucian in Daxia, and I have told her about the evil consequences of foreign relatives meddling in politics and the descendants' arbitrariness of power.
