Empress, she doesn't want to fight

Chapter 209
Jiang Man would think this way, but she still felt that Emperor Yong'an probably couldn't guess what she was thinking just now.

Emperor Yong'an smiled when he heard the words, and said: "My concubine means what she says."

"Naturally." Jiang Man said.

"That's fine." Emperor Yong'an nodded, then looked into Jiang Man's eyes, and said, "Then let me guess what Aifei was thinking just now. Aifei just finished attending the ceremony at the Palace of Compassion and Peace. The Empress Dowager's banquet, and today's banquet, apart from Mrs. Cui mentioning the portrait of the eldest prince and Ji's parents-in-law, and Ji Zhaorong losing his composure in a hurry, nothing else happened, so what Aifei is thinking at the moment Mostly it has something to do with it."

Jiang Man's eyes widened involuntarily when he heard Emperor Yong'an's words, especially when Emperor Yong'an said that Ji Zhaorong lost his composure in a hurry, which made Jiang Man a little more certain about her original guess.

After finishing speaking, Emperor Yong'an looked at Jiang Man's rounded eyes in surprise, chuckled, and continued: "Aifei has always been smart, I think I already have a guess in my heart? Does Aifei have nothing to ask me? "

Jiang Man hesitated for a while when he heard the words, and then said: "Your Majesty, the eldest prince is really...really..."

Seeing that Jiang Man still couldn't ask a complete sentence after a long time, Emperor Yong'an shook his head and said kindly: "Accordingly, Jue'er should be my real eldest son."

The guess was confirmed, Jiang Man calmed down a little now, she tilted her head to look at Emperor Yong'an, and asked, "The emperor has always known about this?"

Emperor Yong'an nodded. If it weren't for his acquiescence and connivance, how could the Ji family and Ji Zhaorong have such great ability to do such a thing of exchanging a civet cat for the prince.

"Why?" Jiang Man asked.

"Because I needed a son at that time." Emperor Yong'an said: "I may not know that my concubine is in the harem. At that time, King Kang used the fact that I had been childless to spread rumors among the people, saying that because of my lack of virtue, the throne was not right. , aroused the dissatisfaction of the heavens, so I have never had a son."

Originally, he didn't think about getting a fake prince to stabilize his throne, because although such rumors were troublesome to deal with, he was not unable to deal with them. Who knew that Ji's family and Ji Zhaorong had such thoughts at this time, After he knew it, he thought about it and let the Ji family go.

"After that, when Jue'er was born, I felt that if there was only Jue'er as the prince, Jue'er would inevitably become the target of everyone, so I continued to keep them." It's just that he is no longer needed until now. It's time for Gan to enter Beijing. Even a fool should know that the person he is optimistic about is the second prince. At that time, it will make no difference whether he has this child or not.

It happened that Ji Yu was in a hurry and wanted to force him to settle the prince, so he just wanted to solve this matter this time.

Emperor Yong'an thought about it and continued: "The reason why I agreed to Ji Yu and the others to make the child of Ji's family the crown prince this time is to let them taste the feeling of joy for nothing. It's settled."

Jiang Man had guessed a lot of reasons why Emperor Yong'an tolerated the first prince to continue to be the fake prince, but she didn't expect that one of the reasons was to protect the second prince.

She calmed down and wondered: "Since the emperor wants to deal with Ji Ji and the child before the canonization ceremony, why did the queen mother bother to prepare this banquet, so that the Ji family will not be vigilant and add twists and turns?" ?”

Jiang Man originally thought it was strange that the Empress Dowager suddenly held a banquet and specially invited Ji Zhaorong's sister-in-law to deal with Ji's family, but now she knew that the Empress Dowager was helping Emperor Yong'an.

"Because I've changed my mind now, and I don't plan to wait until then to do it again." Emperor Yong'an said: "I have to bring back the people who have been promoted and don't know what they are."

Jiang Man was stunned for a moment before realizing, "Your Majesty has heard about the concubine and the second prince being stopped on the way by the eldest prince, and asked us to kneel down and salute him?"

Emperor Yong'an nodded, and there was nothing to hide, "Anyway, it will be dealt with sooner or later. I feel that although I gave them hope, it will make them more painful if I extinguish it in the end, but there is no need for me to let them do it just because of this." They made you unhappy."

Jiang Man didn't know what to say, so she just said "oh" in a daze.

In the case of Ji's family, Mrs. Ji was frowning and talking to Ji Yu about what happened at the banquet today.

"I don't know if the old man in the Cui family did it on purpose. Today at the banquet, he directly said that the eldest prince and the Tong family look like each other. Qiu Tong, who was not up to date, reacted a little too aggressively at the time, and I don't know if it will cause people suspicious." Mrs. Ji said.

When Ji Yu heard this, the expression on his face was very solemn, but he cared more about what the Queen Mother meant than Mrs. Cui.

Why did the Empress Dowager suddenly invite Tong Shi to the banquet, and after they said that Tong Shi was seriously ill in bed, she mentioned Tong Shi's appearance on the spot?

Does the Queen Mother know something?
Thinking about it, Ji Yu suddenly stood up and said, "I'll go to Changping Hou Mansion."

If the Empress Dowager really knew something, the Changping Marquis Mansion must know it too. He had to go to the Changping Marquis Mansion to find out. If the Empress Dowager really knew something, he could discuss cooperation with the Queen Mother before things got out of hand.

After Changping Hou knew about Ji Yu's visit, he received Ji Yu politely and warmly, but Ji Yu stayed in Changping Hou's mansion for more than an hour, but did not get any useful information from Changping Hou, but the good thing is that he can It is certain that Marquis Changping does not know about the eldest prince.

After returning home, Ji Yu contacted the person he had arranged to enter the palace and asked them to try to find out what the Queen Mother meant.

But what Ji Yu didn't expect was that in the morning of the second day, the censor directly went up to express his suspicion that the eldest prince was not of royal blood.

The faces of Ji Yu's faction were all blue at that time.

Someone stood up and said: "Although Mr. Wang is a censor and has the right to hear the news, but using the eldest prince to talk about things, Mr. Wang is too much, isn't it?"

Lord Yushiwang raised his eyelids, and said: "Since Master Liu knows that I have the right to hear the news, then I heard many people discussing that the eldest prince looks neither like the emperor nor Ji Zhaorong, but It's exactly the same as the eldest daughter-in-law of the Ji family, it was the Ji family who secretly swapped the dead baby born to Ji Zhaorong with the grandson of the Ji family, so what's wrong with me raising such doubts today?"

After Mr. Wang finished speaking, another person stood up and retorted: "Mr. Wang, what you said is ridiculous. You are a minister of the court, and you are not a woman in the market. You also believe such rumors, and you even use it to talk about things in the court. With so many people guarding, who can easily replace the sons and grandsons of the dragon?"
