The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

Chapter 1121 The Reason

"Queen, if you have anything you want to ask me, please ask me now. I'm still interested and I may be able to tell you everything I know!"

Concubine Cen was in the middle of scolding Yongping, but when she turned around, she saw Empress Sheng Ran looking at them with disinterest, and she immediately felt less happy.

Seeing that she had finally gotten to the point, Sheng Ran silently raised the empty box in her hand and shook it.

"..." Upon seeing this, Concubine Cen felt a little aggrieved and remained silent for a few breaths.

After trying her luck for who knows how many times, she finally regained her composure and narrated without emotion: "The emperor did hide the edict of succession here, but it was obvious that Yongping destroyed it."

"I am curious about why there is no imperial edict here that you helped her forge." Sheng Ran threw the empty box aside indifferently, "And how did you trick her into coming to Si Palace?"

"Lie?! Humph, she was just too greedy. I didn't lie to her!"

  "Haha, don't say such high-sounding words. Don't lie in front of a real person. It's ok for the Concubine to fool others with her words, but don't fool yourself!" Sheng Ran glanced at Yongping who was getting acupuncture and sneered, "The Concubine just scolded Yongping, it was really satisfying!

You cursed word by word without any burden, as if you did not think your role was disgraceful, nor did you feel ashamed of the two previous emperors... I think the concubine must have her own closed-loop logic.

Let me guess... Your real purpose is not to hurt the emperor. You have many plans, and the root of them is probably to target Yongping! And hurting the emperor is just a means for you to make Yongping unable to turn over forever! I think the emperor is just an innocent bystander! "

"That's right!" Concubine Cen agreed happily.

Her originally fluctuating emotions suddenly calmed down a lot, and there was more relaxation in her eyes when she looked at Sheng Ran.

"Not wrong? What a great not wrong! The reason you are so confident should be related to the assassination of the late Emperor Jinghe, right?" Sheng Ran suppressed her temper and sneered, "That major case that shook the court not only caused Empress Dowager Xiaohewen to lose her children and grandchildren, but also you, the Concubine, to lose Prince Jing... You started planning revenge since then, right?!"

"You're right again." Concubine Cen's face looked a little ugly as Sheng Ran awakened her untouchable memories.

She looked over with dark eyes, and although there was no sadness or anger on her face, she looked as if she was stuck in an abyss and quagmire. If you got a little closer, you could feel the extremely cold and gloomy feeling.

  "Empress Sheng, I have no regrets about what I have done!" She spoke in a low voice, every word clearly audible, "Even if I meet the late Emperor Chengyuan and Empress Dowager Xiaohewen in the future, I will not feel ashamed!

If my disappointing son were to plot evil or break the law, and be executed by the law or the Emperor or the Empress Dowager, I would feel pain but not hatred!

But my son, my Huaiyu! He was murdered by a villain! How can I sit back and watch the villain who murdered him go unpunished?

Although I have no evidence to prove that it was Yongping who did it, the deposed Empress Lu's family has a close connection with her. The appearance of Lady Lang, her struggle for power, her plot, every bit of it shows that she was involved in the assassination of Jinghe! The deposed Empress Lu had already committed suicide, and the remnants of the Lu family have disappeared. So I regard her, the illegitimate offspring born by her and the legitimate grandson of the Lu family, as my enemy. What's wrong with seeking revenge on her? ! "

At this point, Concubine Cen shed two lines of tears without realizing it. When she realized her eyes were blurry, her face was already covered in tears.

Casually wiping away the tears on her cheeks, Concubine Cen chuckled, looked directly at Sheng Ran, and asked in a sonorous voice: "Do you think I want to go this far? How many times have I sent intermittent clues to the imperial desk, but what is the result? Insufficient evidence! Insufficient evidence! Always insufficient evidence! As a dignified emperor, are you afraid to act with just a piece of evidence?! You are just trying to gain fame and reputation, and don't want to leave a flaw in your name in the history books!"

Hearing the resentment in Concubine Cen's words, Sheng Ran couldn't help but defend Emperor Yanping: "The emperor was also a victim of the assassination, and he has never stopped planning to track down the mastermind... I have seen the evidence you gave me through other people, but the time and motive don't match! More importantly, the people who monitored the princess's mansion never found anything wrong with her!

The emperor is not a cruel monarch, and has always been filial and loyal. The late Emperor Chengyuan left an oral instruction for future emperors to be kind to Princess Hong'an and her daughter. Later, Empress Dowager Xiaohewen left a message to leave a bloodline for Prince Huaiyan.

With the elders' numerous instructions in front and the insufficient evidence in the back, what do you want the emperor to do? Do you want him to admit to things that look like a frame-up, bearing the reputation of being disobedient to elders and intolerant of relatives?

Who can guarantee that this is not a foreshadowing left by the deposed Queen Lu? If one move cannot completely eliminate the Chu Jiang royal family, then let the few remaining descendants kill each other? ! "

"Hmph, you are just being too soft-hearted!" Concubine Cen sneered, then locked eyes with Sheng Ran and said with a half-smile, "Queen, please don't make your words so sure. If the power to deal with it was in your hands, I'm afraid the situation wouldn't be like this now!"

"Your Majesty is kind and tolerant, which is beyond my reach."

"You are so honest!" The tense nerves of Concubine Cen suddenly relaxed, as if nothing mattered anymore. "Don't you want to know how I got Yongping involved? Well, I will tell you everything!

Actually, it's very simple! I wonder if you, Queen, have ever caught birds when you were young? Well, you just use tree branches to prop up a basket, make a little cover, and then scatter some grains along the way in places where birds often appear.

You spread them all the way, and they eat them all the way until they reach the basket. Then you pull the branch and they are in your hands!"

Concubine Cen couldn't help but chuckled twice when she said this: "The blank imperial edict I forged is the grain for that trip.

  When she thought she had won, the loyal servant she thought she could trust told her that I had played both sides and fooled her! The real imperial edict hidden in the Si Palace was written with the name of my eldest grandson Jiang Ziqing! How could she not panic? !

People like Yongping are not the kind of people who are willing to do things for others, so how could they tolerate being schemed against? !

At that time, as long as the loyal servant took out the new forged imperial edict, she would definitely come up with the idea of ​​​​being the mantis stalking the cicada and the oriole behind, and be the naughty boy with the slingshot and the final winner. The attraction was too great, so great that she had no way to refuse!

As long as she joins the game and some difficulties are created for her actions so that she cannot accomplish her mission, with her extreme personality, it will not be difficult to make her choose to burn down the Si Palace and completely destroy all the imperial edicts, whether true or false, as long as we give her some stimulation or indirect hints.

There is a problem in Si Palace. How can the emperor, who respects his father and mother, remain calm and do nothing? ! By then, everything will fall into place naturally. "
