The uninhibited concubine who loves his wife

Chapter 170 The Emperor Tells the Story of King Cheng (5)
"I originally thought that keeping your mother and the King of Beiyuan in the capital would allow her to change her mind about me, but I don't know why, that night..."

Speaking of this, Xia Gao choked up a little, staring at the jade coffin for a moment, as if deeply immersed in memories——

"That night, King Beiyuan died suddenly in the mansion. I heard the news and immediately sent someone to check it out, but I heard your aunt said that your mother was too sad and that she had left you to drink poison and kill herself in order to repay the kindness of King Beiyuan. I went with Beiyuan King... I didn't believe it, so I took the imperial doctor and ran to Chengwang Mansion... I didn't expect your mother to really abandon you. At that time, you were still in your infancy. When I was with you, I was heartbroken and didn't know how to place you. So I obeyed your aunt's words and let her pretend to be your mother to raise you as the princess, in order to give you a home..."

Xia Gao murmured about what happened back then, and it was not difficult to hear his regret and self-blame.

He didn't even know who to blame and who to blame for all this.

Is it because he has already married a wife and had children?
Blame her for being stubborn and disobedient?

Or blame God for teasing him like this and making him fall in love with her?

Yan Moyu listened to everything he said dully, his eyes closed so that no one could see his emotions, but Bai Xinran who was holding his hand could deeply feel the trembling in his heart.

"Your Majesty, my mother-in-law didn't commit suicide!" Bai Xinran suddenly shouted in front of everyone.

She had known the pain of being abandoned, and now they were told her husband had been abandoned too, and she couldn't watch him suffer like that.Even if she didn't have real evidence to prove whether her mother-in-law committed suicide or homicide, she couldn't let her man fall into this kind of pain.

Her words immediately shocked the two men, and Qi Qi looked over.

Bai Xinran swallowed, she knew that if she didn't say something, the two men probably wouldn't believe it.

"Your Majesty, my mother-in-law will not commit suicide. Since she is such a strong person, even if she fell in love with you, she did not compromise for you. How could she seek faults in order to repay the kindness of a childhood sweetheart? Besides, if she is so It is easy to leave her child behind to find fault. When she learned that she had a child, it was impossible to keep the child. The reason why she and King Beiyuan pretended to be married was to protect the child and give the child a stable life. Live? If she was really so fragile, she should have collapsed long ago, instead of waiting for Beiyuan King to die and committing suicide."

"Ran'er?" Yan Moyu held her back with trembling hands, and there was a slight movement in the depths of his painful eyes.He knew she was saying these things for his sake...

"Mo Yu, calm down first, and listen to me." Bai Xinran patted his hand in relief, and looked at Xia Gao, "Your Majesty, you may not believe what I said, but if you really think about it calmly, However, there will definitely be a lot of doubts. What I want to say is, do you have evidence to prove that my mother-in-law committed suicide by taking poison? Or do you just see her after death, so you think she committed suicide? "

Xia Gao was stunned: "..."

After a long time, a trace of cruelty flashed in his painful eyes: "You mean that Ying'er was killed by someone?"

Bai Xinran shook her head and sighed.This is the legendary love word grinds people, the deeper you sink, the less you can see the reality.It is estimated that he is like this, so he made a foolish decision at the beginning, right?
"Your Majesty, I have to ask you the truth about my mother-in-law's death."

"Ask me?" Xia Gao was puzzled.

"Who said that my mother-in-law committed suicide? Does she have proof? Besides, even if my mother-in-law committed suicide, she should leave a letter or something. Even if it's not for you, it should be for her child, right? Otherwise, she will Don't you feel sorry for leaving like this? Or is she too carefree to just leave the child she worked so hard to give birth to? Don't you think her reason for suicide is too far-fetched? "

Hearing this, Xia Gao strode over suddenly and looked at Bai Xinran angrily: "Tell me, who will kill Ying'er?"

Hearing this, Bai Xinran wanted to roll her eyes at him.Please, she's not a fortune teller, how would she know?

Everything is just inference based on experience.

After learning what happened from the emperor's mouth, it also proved her conclusion that the mother-in-law and the Beiyuan king did not drink the poison at the same time!
poison?
correct!

"Your Majesty, I want to ask you something. Did you have someone check how King Beiyuan died?"

Xia Gaomo was silent, and said: "I am also very curious about the cause of Beiyuan King's death, but for some reason, even the imperial doctor can't figure out why he died."

That's right.Bai Xinran felt certain in her heart.

"Your Majesty, with all due respect, the sudden sudden death of the Northern Yuan King was not an accident, but someone intentionally poisoned him to death."

Xia Gao's eyes widened, obviously in disbelief.

Bai Xinran let go of Yan Moyu's hand, asked Yin Du to open the wooden coffin, pointed to the corpse of King Beiyuan, and told Xia Gao the suspicious points.

"From the color on his bones, it is an indisputable fact that he died of poisoning. I don't know what kind of poison was poisoned so that you couldn't find it out. If we put my mother-in-law's suicide Overthrow, and reorganize the events of the year, maybe you will find a lot of doubts."

"..." Xia Gao looked a little dazed.Back then when he learned that Ying'er was married, he was already extremely restless.Coupled with the accident, he hardly thought about those so-called doubts seriously.In his heart, Ying'er and King Beiyuan were childhood sweethearts, and King Beiyuan resolutely married her for the future of her and the child, and would rather protect her silently, so she might go with him in order to repay King Beiyuan's kindness.

But now someone told him that Ying'er didn't commit suicide, and that King Beiyuan didn't die suddenly for other reasons, but was deliberately murdered... These are the things he ignored back then!

"Your Majesty, let's imagine that if King Beiyuan suddenly died suddenly, and then the news of the death reached my mother-in-law, and my mother-in-law committed suicide because of this, who saw what happened? Who said it? But Any other witnesses?"

Hearing this, Xia Gao's eyes suddenly opened: "You mean... Qiu Shuiyan!"

Bai Xinran frowned, she didn't expect the emperor to say such a name.

"Your Majesty, Qiu Shuiyan told you all this?"

"Yes!" Xia Gao clenched his fists tightly, and suddenly the veins on his forehead protruded, "Back then, the housekeeper of Prince Cheng's Mansion sent someone to the palace to deliver news that King Beiyuan died suddenly. Later When I rushed to Prince Cheng's Mansion, Ying'er had passed away. I asked carefully, and only Qiu Shuiyan said that she had witnessed her sister's suicide. The doctor couldn't find out the cause of Beiyuan King's death, so I didn't suspect so much..."
