Chang Anqing

Chapter 9 Royal Secrets
At this moment, a strange voice suddenly sounded, and the assassin who had been recruiting fiercely just now suddenly had black blood on his lips and was killed immediately.

Faced with this sudden change, Yang Chongyuan did not move, but raised his hand, and someone dragged the assassins down.

"It shocked Your Majesty—"

Yang Chongyuan bowed his hands respectfully and pleaded guilty, and then signaled that the chamberlain beside him would be frightened, and the poor-looking emperor would help him back to the throne.

"How should General Zheng explain what happened today?"

Hearing Yang Chongyuan's calm words, Zheng Xiao sneered, glared angrily, and immediately reprimanded: "Yang Chongyuan, the arrogant late emperor relied so heavily, but raised your wolf ambitions, controlled the government, framed Zhongliang, and vainly tried to be like Cao Agui, who commanded the world with the emperor, Today I only regret that I failed to kill you, a thief of the country, in order to soothe the world and comfort the spirit of the late emperor!"

Hearing these eloquent words, Yang Chongyuan just smiled faintly, looking at Zheng Xiao as if he were watching a joke.

Gradually, the laughter shook the entire hall, but the smile was condensed on Yang Chongyuan's lips little by little. I saw that Yang Chongyuan's eyes were suddenly still cold, and he bowed his hands to the east and gave a respectful salute, with a little bit in his words. Sharp, he was clearly speaking to Zheng Xiao in front of him, but his peripheral vision caught the emperor in a panic.

"I, Yang Chongyuan, was appointed by the late emperor, and I dare not talk about being conscientious and conscientious, but I dare to say what I do, and what I do is for His Majesty's thoughts and the people's worries! I dare not ask how the late emperor thinks of me, but I went underground after a hundred years. , I will definitely kneel in front of the late emperor to plead guilty, why didn't I see the true face of your Zheng Xiao sooner, and actually put Your Majesty in today's dangerous situation, this crime is indeed a death sentence."

Hearing Yang Chongyuan's eloquent words and stern words, he actually wanted to turn himself into a chaotic thief, Zheng Xiao immediately pointed at Yang Chongyuan and said angrily, "You—"

At this moment, a figure came forward cautiously. When Zheng Xiao saw it, he immediately noticed something ominous.

Sure enough, after hearing Yang Chongyuan sneer and swept away from the crowd, Lang Lang said, "Wu Zhen, before the holy car, you can rest assured to confess your sins."

As soon as the words came out, the shivering man dressed in civilian clothes immediately knelt down and said everything cleanly with tears.

"Your Majesty, it is General Wuwei who keeps assassins in private, attracts the guards, and also coerces the ministers, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and the imperial censor. He plans to assassinate the captain today, and then force Her Royal Highness to commit suicide. The government and the eradication of dissidents, the minister is really forced by his life and dare not refuse to obey, but it is true that he cannot do such a rebellion with General Wuwei, only——I have to report to the Taiwei and ask Your Majesty to forgive me——”

In an instant, there was a cold silence in the hall, Wu Zhen was paralyzed on the ground, and her clothes were almost soaked in cold sweat.

"Wu Zhen! You bastard!"

The sharp voice almost overflowed from between Zheng Xiao's teeth. Even when surrounded by soldiers, Zheng Xiao had no scruples in throwing off the restraint and slashing at Wu Zhen with a knife.

Hearing Wu Zhen groaning, he immediately fell to the ground, convulsed and turned into a corpse.

This scene shocked everyone, and immediately some courtiers shouted: "General Wuwei, you dare to kill the courtiers in front of the palace!"

Zheng Xiao suddenly laughed when he heard the sound, almost in a state of recklessness.

"Shameless people who are greedy for life and fear of death, what's the use of keeping them?"

Feeling that everyone was guarding him nervously, Yang Chongyuan never put Zheng Xiao in front of him in his eyes. In his opinion, the person in front of him was just the end of the shot.

"No, Your Majesty, Aye has absolutely no intention of doing so, I beg Your Majesty to investigate."

Seeing Concubine Zheng Shu kneeling in front of the emperor, crying pear blossoms with rain, Yang Chongyuan's eyes were indifferent, and he only followed Zheng Xiao's persuasion.

"General Wuwei, in front of the holy car at this moment, it's better to make a confession."

Hearing this, Zheng Xiao threw off his restraints, knelt on the ground with a "bang", and bowed to the stunned emperor on the seat: "Your Majesty, today's affairs are indeed planned by the ministers, and the ministers do things one by one, but the ministers are only for the side of the Qingjun. , is definitely not a rebellion, today has nothing to do with Concubine Shu, and now the traitor has not been eliminated, it is the crime of the minister, Wu Zhen is a weak man, what he said is absolutely not the truth, please also ask Your Majesty to see it clearly-"

"Aye—"

Looking at Concubine Shu, who was crying and was about to turn her back, and Zheng Xiao, who was full of decadence, with her head buried deep in the seat, Emperor Yuan Cheng was stunned for a long time, and finally looked at Yang Chongyuan who was standing there in embarrassment. His lips twitched, as if he was about to say something.

"Raising assassins and colluding with the forbidden army, General Wuwei underestimated that he wanted to take the responsibility alone. Could it be that His Majesty treats the civil and military affairs of my dynasty as a three-year-old child? Besides, today's banquet is still managed by Concubine Shu herself. With her advice, how could these assassins escape the layers of investigation and assassinate before your Majesty? General Wuwei, if you tell the accomplices today, your Zheng family might still have a chance to survive—"

"You are delusional!"

In the face of Yang Chongyuan's seemingly heartfelt remarks, Zheng Xiao almost refuted it angrily.

However, Yang Chongyuan didn't get angry about this, and he didn't say any more, just turned to look at the emperor and bowed his hands respectfully, a hint of doubt appeared in his eyes: "Your Majesty, there is one more thing, the minister only knew yesterday, originally it was about the majesty of the emperor. , I want to banquet and stop your Majesty Chen Yu, but about the assassination just now, I think I have to speak now."

Seeing that the emperor's words could not be uttered, Yang Chongyuan turned to look at Yang Jin beside him. Yang Jin went down knowingly, and after a while, he saw a servant and an imperial physician carefully following Yang Jin in, kneeling on the ground.

Li Sui watched this scene quietly, and sure enough, everything was like a play, walking through the previous life again.

And at the moment, she was just a spectator.

"The slave and maidservant, Cao An, greeted His Majesty."

Compared with the panic-stricken emperor on the seat, Yang Chongyuan, who is standing below him at the moment, is more relaxed, as if tonight was really an unusual birthday feast.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Shu's son, King Qi, was not born prematurely, but was born at full term."

As soon as the words fell, everyone present came down like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, and Qi Qi set their eyes on the shocked Concubine Shu.

"What nonsense!"

Feeling Zheng Xiao's rage, the servant was so frightened that he panicked and said, shaking like chaff: "The slave does not dare to talk nonsense, the slave has always been in charge of His Majesty's living records. I haven't had a menstrual period in two months."

After saying that, the inner servant quickly pointed to the imperial physician beside him and said, "Imperial Doctor Wang - Imperial Physician Wang knows about this."

In the silence, I saw the imperial doctor also busy saying: "Go back to your majesty, what this official said is true. Concubine Shu has always been properly conditioned, and this has never happened before. At first, the minister thought it was because of a happy encounter, but he has not detected the pulse of happiness, so he has been conditioning for her, but it has no effect. The pregnancy pulse was found to be different from Tong Shi. According to Tong Shi's calculations, Concubine Shu should be one month pregnant. How could Concubine Shu be pregnant for three months? Then I felt something was wrong, until a few days ago, when I turned to a rural medical book, I found that there is a folk acupuncture method, which can temporarily seal a woman's pregnancy vein, making it difficult for people to detect it for a while."

When the last word of the imperial doctor fell on her ear, Li Sui's eyes moved slightly, but she felt that her breathing suddenly stopped. In the exclamation of everyone, she fixedly looked at the imperial doctor in the hall, and the past was almost a brain. of influx.

The elder sister from the previous life was also at this banquet. Because of being frightened by the assassin, she became pregnant. She was so anxious that she ignored the birthday and accompanied her back to the Lizheng Hall to take care of it for the night. Many people were dealt with cleanly that night, and no rumors were heard the next day.

Even she only listened to Yang Yan and Yang Che for a few minutes.

Today, she is still standing here, experiencing what she had never experienced in her previous life, but suddenly understood.

Understand why Concubine Xiao in the previous life was pregnant but could not be noticed by others, why their mother and son would live and die under her scepter.

At this moment, she watched and listened silently, but her hands were firmly embedded in the palms of her nails.

It can be seen that the person who framed her for poisoning Yang Yan and framing Concubine Xiao in the previous life was a member of the courtiers of the noble family at today's banquet.

Because apart from them, the people next to them can no longer live to see the sun of tomorrow.

"Empty nonsense, where is the evidence?"

At this moment, Shangguan Ji, who had been silent for a long time, finally couldn't hold back and raised his voice.

Hearing this, Yang Chongyuan didn't speak, but he snorted and sneered, and a courtier behind him said justly: "It's right and wrong, you should check it out."

"it is good!"

The sonorous voice suddenly trembled above the hall, and Yang Chongyuan seemed to be waiting for this moment, and he cupped his hands calmly and said: "Your Majesty, now it is about the royal blood, please give your majesty an decree to grieve Concubine Shu and send someone Immediately investigate the dormitory where Concubine Shu lives for verification."

As soon as these words came out, Emperor Yuancheng's heart suddenly felt as if it had been put into the cold current of the ice basin, gradually turning from warm to cold, but the people under the seat never waited for him to say a word, and when he turned around, someone was already facing the inner palace. And go.
