After the whole family was swept away, I lay down flat

Chapter 819 Lie

The king knows whether he is deceiving others or not.

He knew from the beginning that Xu Qiuling was a married woman and wanted to make her his concubine. For this reason, he even sent his confidant to Zunhua Prefecture to meet Xu Qiuling's ex-husband Jin Sen. Even though he knew that the other party had divorced his wife and remarried, he had to confirm that his marital relationship with Xu Qiuling had been clearly terminated long ago and that he would never come to the capital to cause trouble for him.

This was both Xu Qiuling's own wish and the emperor's idea.

However, the emperor chose to conceal it in the beginning, and he had done a lot of things to cover it up in order to continue concealing it over the years. He could not shirk his responsibility. If the royal family and officials knew about it, they would definitely complain endlessly, and the eighth prince's succession would cause more trouble. The emperor thought about his own physical condition and the gossips from the royal family, and felt that he could not allow the scoundrels to continue to cause trouble.

Just as Jin Jiashu said before, if the stigma on Concubine Xu is not resolved as soon as possible and the matter of establishing a crown prince is implemented as soon as possible, who knows who will come out to make trouble? Once he, the emperor, has something bad happen before the crown prince is established, he has three sons, one is adopted, one is weak, and one is young, and it is possible that something will happen during the royal funeral. At that time, he will be extinct, and the royal family can completely jump out and force Queen Mother Zhou to adopt the emperor. Prince Ji is already a royal family. If he can return to the royal family, why can't others? They are all royal family members. How big is the difference between the son of the late emperor and the son of the previous emperor? At that time, no matter whether it is Prince Ji or Prince An who wins in the end, they are not the blood of him as the emperor. He has been sitting on the throne for more than 30 years in vain, and I am afraid he will not be able to rest in peace when he dies.

When the emperor thought of that possibility, his blood immediately surged up and he had to suppress it with great difficulty.

He wanted to order the guards to shut Jin Wu's mouth, but Lord Sun jumped out again and claimed that this matter must be investigated and must be investigated thoroughly just in case.

Tao Yue Tao refuted Sun's statement: "Previous evidence is enough to prove that this guy is talking nonsense. Why did Sun Ge Lao want to be fooled by him again? Is he too old and confused to trust others, or does he have ulterior motives?!"

Jin Wu hurriedly shouted, "I did lie before! My parents were killed by Jin Jiashu, and I held a grudge against him, so I slandered him! But his mother is really not dead, she is Concubine Xu! She never left the palace at all!"

Aunt Jin cried so hard that she was completely limp. She scolded her nephew in a low voice: "Wu'er, please stop talking! Are you really not afraid of death? How dare you throw dirty water on anyone? The Queen Mother said that Tong'er's mother had left the palace, and your parents also said that she died of an acute illness in the capital, and they even have a grave. If Tong'er's mother is not dead, who is buried in the grave?! What nonsense are you talking about now? Could your parents lie? Did the old lady lie when she was alive?!"

My mother and my brother and sister-in-law were convicted in Chang'an, two died and two escaped, and my brother and sister-in-law were killed by mountain bandits. When Jin Ergu got the news in her hometown of Zunhua Prefecture, she felt like the sky had fallen. Now a few years have passed, and she finally forgot her sadness. As a result, her nephew has jumped out again and must put a few more charges on my mother and brother and sister-in-law. She really wanted to faint on the spot. Just now, after she testified for Jin Jiashu in front of everyone, she knew that her nephew Jin Wu could not be saved. But no matter how reluctant she was, she had to think about her husband and children. She just hoped that this matter would pass as soon as possible, so that she and her husband could return to their hometown to continue to live a peaceful life. Why did her nephew just refuse to settle down and jump out to make trouble? ! Does he really want to kill everyone? ! Jin Wu didn't understand her aunt's painstaking efforts at all. She just felt that she told the truth in front of everyone and exposed herself, so she was an enemy and no longer his relative. How could he care about her?
In order to protect himself, he no longer had any worries at this time: "The one buried in the capital is not my aunt! It's my second aunt! I heard my mother tell my father with my own ears that my aunt didn't come back from the palace that year. She was probably killed in the fire. The streets outside are full of people from the Sun family catching the fish that escaped from the Wu family. Even the family who married the Wu family's maid was not spared. They were afraid that the Sun family would know that my aunt was the wet nurse of Queen Wu, so they stopped giving the second aunt the medicine and let her die of illness. Then they changed the corpse into my aunt's clothes, put it in the coffin and held a funeral. If When someone came to ask about it, they said that my aunt was ill and couldn’t enter the palace. Later, they buried her in the capital, and didn’t mention it after returning to their hometown. When Uncle Hu came to the door, they turned the tables and said that they hadn’t seen Second Aunt, and that Uncle Hu must have beaten Second Aunt to death. My mother blamed my father, saying that it was my grandmother who gave the wrong advice and forced my uncle to send my aunt to the palace, which caused such a big trouble and forced her to give up Second Aunt. She said that if my father couldn’t give half of my uncle’s property to the Liu family as compensation, and then marry my third aunt to my uncle as a concubine, she would never agree!"

Jin Wu told the Hu brothers and sisters who were present about his childhood experiences, and they were stunned.

Wasn't their late mother buried on the hillside on the way to Shangjing? They had brought her remains back and buried them properly a few years ago. Could it be that the person they were worshipping these years wasn't their own mother? !

Hu Yingyuan rushed over and grabbed Jin Wu to ask what was going on? If his father didn't kill his mother, why did his aunt swear that she didn't wrongly accuse anyone? ! If his mother died at the hands of his uncle and aunt, then didn't they recognize the thief as their father? Although they hated their aunt's family for selling them out, they still had some nostalgia for them when they remembered that they were raised by their aunt when they were young. They just blamed her for not caring about family affection, but never thought that their aunt was actually the real enemy!
There was chaos in the hall for a while, and finally the emperor ordered his men to separate the Jin and Hu families and called Jin Jiashu out to testify.

Just as Jin Jiashu had mentioned to Haitang earlier, he admitted very frankly that the tomb that was supposed to be the grave of his mother was indeed the grave of his cousin Jin Liu's biological sister Liu Dainiang. How Liu Dainiang was killed by Li Daitao was roughly as Jin Wu said, but there were also things that Jin Wu didn't know.

He said that when Jin Dagu was in Chang'an, she came to him in person and begged him to spare the seriously ill Jin Er Lao Madam and herself, and to support a few taels of medicine money, because his mother was not forced to death by Jin Er Lao Madam after returning home from the palace, but she was not able to enter the house at all. Because after Jin Xu came out of the palace, she met the minions of the Sun family at the door of her house. The other party asked her identity, and she said directly that she was the wife of Jin Sen Jin Juren. But the Jin family was worried about being angered by the Sun family, so they used the dead Liu Dainian to report the death of Jin Xu. At that time, the Jin family was holding a funeral. Jin Xu's words contradicted what the Jin family said, so the minions of the Sun family took her to the door of the Jin family and asked the Jin family what was going on. Jin Dagu went out to answer the door and saw Jin Xu. She was about to admit her identity, but Jin Liu took the lead and denied her relationship with the Jin family. She also said that she had seen Jin Xu go out with the ladies of the Wu Mansion, and she must be a servant of the Wu family. So Jin Xu was forcibly taken away by the Sun family and her whereabouts have been unknown since then. Jin Liu also threatened Jin Dagu, saying that she would kick her out of the house. The latter was so scared that she did not dare to tell Jin Juren about the matter.

Aunt Jin believed that the real murderer who killed Jin Xu should be Jin Liu, the liar and slanderer, rather than the second old lady Jin and her. Jin Jiashu should not resent them. Even for the sake of the family relationship between the two sides, he should not let the second old lady Jin die in prison. When Jin Jiashu first heard the "truth", he was shocked, but he also gave money to Aunt Jin. Later, he not only helped with the funeral of the second old lady Jin, but also funded Aunt Jin and the Hu brothers and sisters to return home, all because he was grateful to Aunt Jin for letting him know the true whereabouts of his mother.

Jin Jiashu told all this in front of the emperor, the empress dowager, the royal family and all the ministers, and told them: "It is true that the person buried in the tomb is not my mother, but my mother really died that year."
