After the demon concubine returned to the palace, the emperor and I switched bodies

Cui Canwen raised her hand to thank the Queen Mother.

"Seriously?" Queen Mother Xie raised her head in fear and pressed Cui Canwen's arm tightly.

Cui Canwen nodded and relayed the past events she had found to Queen Mother Xie.

Queen Mother Xie's pupils shrank, feeling angry and annoyed.

"sure?"

"The eldest princess Zhaoming?"

"Yes, Concubine Yang is just a knife in the hands of the eldest princess."

Queen Mother Xie's eyes were dark, her chest was swollen, her face was changing, and finally she vomited a mouthful of blood.

Cui Canwen was shocked and opened her mouth to call Jiang Feng.

Queen Mother Xie looked grim and numbly wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief.

"The Empress Dowager."

Xiang Jia and Jiang Feng hurried in and looked at the blood spraying on the floor, panicking.

Jiang Feng hurriedly put his fingers on Queen Mother Xie's wrist, and his expression slowly relaxed, "It's nothing serious."

"For the past two months, the Queen Mother has been depressed and her energy and blood are not flowing smoothly. This can be considered a blessing in disguise."

"I am prescribing some medicine to promote qi and blood circulation. Wait for the qi to flow smoothly, and then warm and tonic."

"The Queen Mother, you should think less, worry less, be angry less, and take care of your body as your top priority."

"Thank you, Imperial Physician Lao Jiang." Cui Canwen nodded.

After Jiang Feng retreated, Queen Mother Xie's eyes were cold and her brows were filled with hatred: "Xiangjia, you were responsible for investigating Cheng'er's death in detail. Are there any oversights?"

Xiangjia didn't know why and knelt down on the ground. "The witnesses and physical evidence are all clear and detailed, and the motive is obvious. Multiple investigations have pointed to Concubine Yang."

"Concubine Yang also confessed."

"The Queen Mother, is there something wrong?"

Queen Mother Xie pursed her lips and raised the corners of her lips in a self-deprecating tone, "Get up, the Ai family is not asking for guilt."

"When the Ai family is in the boudoir, you will be by the Ai family's side."

"The Aijia will not doubt your loyalty."

Cui Canwen stepped forward and helped Grandma Xiangjia up.

For Empress Dowager Xie, Xiangjia has been the closest relative through wind and rain.

"After Xiangyuan left the palace, did you know where he went?"

Queen Mother Xie suddenly thought of the palace maid who left the palace early to marry and have children.

Xiangyuan was not her maid, she was promoted and trained after she married the late emperor.

He had a pure background, simple interpersonal relationships, gentle temperament, and was smart and capable. He was very popular with her, and over time, he became No. 1 in her palace, under Xiang Jia.

But in the second year after Cheng'er died of illness, he asked for mercy and left the palace to get married.

Xiangjia was stunned for a moment, frightened and uneasy. He forced himself to calm down and recalled carefully, "Back then, in compliance with the Queen Mother's will, I prepared gold and silver real estate deeds for Xiangyuan and personally escorted her out of the palace."

"Xiang Yuan said to himself that he would leave Beijing and return to his hometown. The mountains are high and the roads are far away. I will treasure each other in this life."

"For many years, no letter has come through."

"But according to the accent of the family members who came to pick her up at the palace gate, it sounded a bit like the one from the Huainan Road."

"Do you suspect that Xiangyuan is related to the death of the emperor's eldest son?"

"I will send someone to Huainan Road to investigate."

Queen Mother Xie frowned, her eyes covered with hatred gradually became clear, she braced herself and asked, "Are you sure?"

"I'm sure, slave."

Queen Mother Xie gave a wry smile. She had thought she was protecting her son's murderer all these years.Ridiculous.

Huainan Road.

It is not a secret that Princess Zhaoming traveled around the world after rejecting the marriage offers from Emperor Gaozu and the late Emperor.

There had been small-scale riots on Huainan Road, and the late emperor had successfully put down the rebellion when he was on tour.

After carefully guessing the birth date of Mingjun Prince, Queen Mother Xie had a terrible guess in her mind.

Whose bloodline does Prince Ming have?

Or whose bloodline does Princess Zhaoming think Prince Ming is from?
"Go down first and stay outside the palace. Don't let anyone get close. The Yi family has important matters to discuss with the queen."

Queen Mother Xie's voice was calm and cold, like ice glowing coldly under the eaves.

The moment the palace door closed again, Queen Mother Xie suddenly spoke.

"Canwen, before the late emperor died, he not only told the Ai family that the eldest princess Zhaoming was just the adopted daughter of the great ancestor, but also revealed that Prince Ming was of the bloodline of Prince Xing, who died of illness early in his life."

"Prince Xing is the half-brother of the late Emperor."

"That happened a long time ago, and I only knew a little about it from the late emperor's mouth."

"The world is in chaos. When Prince Xing's aunt was pregnant, she saved the life of the late Emperor's mother. The aunt had a miscarriage and caused premature labor and heavy bleeding. Therefore, Prince Xing was born with a deficiency and was a medicine pot. He lost his biological aunt when he was born. The late Emperor My mother felt guilty, so she took care of her."

"At that time, Princess Zhaoming, who was a few years older, had already lived in the mansion as the eldest lady."

"The next year, the late emperor was born."

"The eldest princess Zhaoming has been with the late emperor and Prince Xing for many years. They have a deep love as siblings. The late emperor has been aware of the kindness of Prince Xing and his aunt since he was a child."

"So, before the late emperor passed away, he held the Ai family's hand and told him repeatedly that he must keep this secret for Prince Xing and Princess Zhaoming, and not let Prince Xing be burdened with scandal. Later, he asked the Ai family to take better care of him. That orphan and widowed couple."

"The Ai family agreed."

"So, over the years, the Ai family has repeatedly protected and indulged Princess Zhaoming and her son."

"That's why the Ai family prevented you from tracing the life experience of Prince Zing."

"But, I protected you all the time, but I never thought I would protect a poisonous snake."

"She was actually the mastermind behind Cheng'er's murder."

Queen Mother Xie once again showed grief on her face, and every time she mentioned it, it was like she was clawing out her flesh.

"Why did you suddenly ask about Princess Zhaoming that day?"

Cui Canwen informed Queen Mother Xie in detail about Rong Qing, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, the wealthy businessman Jin family, the seventh aunt of the Jin family, and the missing second lady of the Jin family.

Among these people, Qi Yiniang of Jin Mansion should be Princess Zhaoming's flag to communicate with these people.

She still remembered Rong Xiuyi saying that Rong Qing's status was not high enough among Qi Yiniang's guests.

"Even Jing Wen was an old acquaintance of the aunt from the Jin Mansion."

"There are also some personnel lists that Mrs. Rong Qing should know."

"The sons and ministers will choose a day to show their appearance and practice their rituals for many days, and reward their meritorious service by allowing their mother to visit relatives in the palace."

"The big net we have been tracing should soon reveal its true colors. I have a hunch."

Nowadays, the weapons supervisor Jingwen is inseparable from the abandoned weapons, and Lu Yuzhi also confessed that the Xuan'an Marquis had recruited bandits and trained them privately, and the equipment came from the Gyeonggi Guard.

This network is really not small.

Queen Mother Xie was stunned for a moment, then her eyes sparkled, "You mean, Jiao Ya, is also the eldest princess of Zhaoming?"

What they have been pursuing is the death of King Yong, the great fire king of Beishan.

"It's just a guess." Cui Canwen said quietly.

But ever since she became aware of Princess Zhaoming's involvement in these matters, her premonition was out of control. (End of chapter)
