The courtyard is deep in spring

Chapter 209 The scandal
The queen mother flicked her sleeves and said angrily: "That's not what Aijia meant!"

Ye Zhaoqing smiled slightly, but did not answer.

The queen mother was furious, she looked at the emperor, then at Li Yu, and then her gaze returned to Ye Zhaoqing again.

"You calculated all this?"

At this moment, she wanted to push all the faults on Ye Zhaoqing!

"How is it possible? Ye Zhaoqing raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "The empress dowager was joking, how can I guess your whereabouts?"Since I never thought I would see you again in my lifetime, how can I arrange all this? "

"Then how could the crown prince deceive Aijia by pretending to be dead?" the queen mother said angrily.She actually hates this the most today!
Her grandson, the grandson she loves the most, actually joined forces with outsiders to deceive her!
Is there still a king's law?
Sadness welled up in the Empress Dowager's heart.

"Grandmother, I'm sorry, the matter of pretending to be sick to deceive grandma is just a temporary idea of ​​grandson, because your determination to kill Zhaoqing is so strong!" Li Yu said in a deep voice: "Grandson also has no choice I just did this, and it has nothing to do with Zhaoqing!"

"Then what about him? Emperor, Prime Minister Murong brought you here, right?" The queen mother turned her sharp eyes, staring at Murong Shen who was standing silently behind her, and said with a cold expression.

"Lord Murong invited me here." The emperor nodded upon hearing this.

The queen mother felt resentful again when she heard the words, she knew it was like this!

"That's it! Do you still want to protect this bitch?"

"Empress Dowager, this has nothing to do with her." But at this moment, Murong Shen said calmly: "Today, I asked my fiancée to go out for breakfast, and just after I left the gate of the teahouse, I saw my mother and asked me The palace man who entered the palace, Qing'er was not feeling well, so she shied away, and the minister sent her back all the way, and the minister in Dingguo's mansion naturally noticed the strangeness, so he went to Qianqing Palace to invite the emperor, which had something to do with her What are you doing?"

Hearing this, before the emperor could answer, the emperor on the side frowned: "What? The queen mother summoned Miss Ye, and you declined? Is it because I summon another day, and you don't want to see me?"

"Your Majesty! You have seen it too! The Empress Dowager came here to die for Qing'er! Since this is the case, I sensed the danger, so I didn't let Qing'er go. This is just self-protection, not disrespect to the Queen Mother!" Murong Shen hastily replied.

Hearing the words, the emperor turned his head and glanced at the queen mother with an inexplicable expression.

The queen mother snorted coldly and said: "I kept saying that the Ai family was going to kill her, but didn't Li Yu drink the poisonous wine? He is fine, so how can you say that the Ai family wanted to kill her? Your lord, you are confusing right and wrong. ?”

Before Murong Shen could answer, Li Yu who was at the side said, "Grandmother, your grandson didn't drink that glass of wine."

"I didn't drink it!" Li Yu nodded his head when he heard the words, and said: "The grandson just drank it as a show. In fact, the wine was poured on this veil. I will take this veil and ask the imperial doctor to verify it later, and I will know." Is there any poison on it?"

The queen mother's face finally changed when she heard the words.

When the emperor saw this, what else did he not understand?He sighed and said: "The queen mother, the sons and ministers have already issued a marriage decree, why are you doing this?"

"Why bother?" The queen mother sneered instantly after hearing this, "Aijia heard you right, the emperor just said Miss Ye, right? You clearly know who she is, but you still plan to cover it up and make her This Miss Ye married in a disguised form! This is unreasonable!"

"Why is it unreasonable?" The emperor frowned and said, "There are also couples who divorced among the people, and then remarried..."

"You also said that it is a folk! We are the royal family, can we make such a scandal?" The Queen Mother snorted coldly.

After hearing this, the emperor silently glanced at her, and suddenly said: "Concubine Mother, was it really you and Concubine Rong who were plotting behind the scenes about being pregnant with the king?"

After hearing this, the Empress Dowager's face suddenly changed!
She subconsciously wanted to refute, but she remembered that the emperor had heard what she and Ye Zhaoqing had just said, so it would be ridiculous for her to deny it.Immediately snorted coldly and said: "The emperor heard it, and why did he come to ask Ai's family?"

"Queen Mother! How could you! How could you..." The emperor heard the words, and a trace of anger appeared on his face: "Prince Huai is not that traitor, but you..."

"Who said he wouldn't do it?" The queen mother sneered instantly when she heard the words: "The master has a high merit and has a rebellious heart. Don't you have any fear in your heart, the emperor?"

"Kerchen didn't..."

"You didn't kill your good brother with your own hands. All of this is the fault of the Ai family. Is this okay?" The queen mother snorted coldly when she heard the words: "The Ai family will bear all this, the emperor, your heart Do you feel good?"

"How can I feel better in my son's heart!" A look of pain appeared in the emperor's eyes when he heard the words, but it disappeared soon.

Ye Zhaoqing saw this expression in his eyes, but his heart moved.

"You should be uncomfortable! Although the matter of King Huai was planned by the Ai family, the death of King Huai was the emperor's will!" The queen mother suddenly said seriously.

The emperor's face suddenly changed when he heard the words!
Indeed, if he hadn't been afraid at the beginning and dealt with it without careful investigation, King Huai would not have...

There was a hint of remorse in his eyes.

Ye Zhaoqing looked at the remorse in his eyes, but there was a hint of sarcasm on his face.

"Emperor, you are not qualified to question Aijia! Because Aijia did all this for you!" The queen mother also saw the emperor's expression, and she felt a little joy in her heart, and she wanted to say something, but at this moment, suddenly outside the house There was a sound of hurried footsteps.

"Report! There is an army surrounding the entire Prime Minister's Mansion!"

Accompanied by everyone's shocked expressions, a guard stumbled in from the outside with a panicked expression.

"What? Tell me clearly, who is so bold to surround the prime minister's mansion?" The emperor walked over abruptly, and lifted the guard's collar.

Murong Shen said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, please let go of your hand, the more you act like this, the more speechless he will be."

After hearing this, the emperor slowly let go of his hand.

"Returning to the emperor, the army from who knows where just now has surrounded the entire long street! Now, none of us can get out!" the guard gasped.

After hearing this, the Empress Dowager remembered that when Li Yu pretended to be unconscious, she had sent someone to invite the imperial physician, but the imperial physician hadn't come until this time, which meant that someone was acting outside at that time!

She immediately turned her head, with a tense expression: "Emperor, did you notice anything unusual when you first entered the mansion?" Then, she glanced at Murong Shen standing behind the emperor, and suddenly said angrily: "Prime Minister Murong, Did you plan this thing?"

The emperor was originally suspicious, after hearing this, he immediately turned his head and stared at Murong Shen, his eyes were full of scrutiny.

"If it was him, he wouldn't have followed him in." Ye Zhaoqing said calmly, "There are other people who surround the palace."

"Who!" The emperor suddenly turned his head and stared at Ye Zhaoqing closely, his expression full of doubts.

Ye Zhaoqing glanced at him, and said calmly, "It's the third prince."

"The third child? How is this possible!" the emperor retorted immediately.

"Why not him?" Ye Zhaoqing sneered instantly after hearing this: "The emperor has no heirs for so many years, King Huai has died, and the crown prince is sick. He is also the son of the former emperor? Why is he not qualified to inherit the throne?" ?”

After saying these words, the emperor and the empress dowager were immediately speechless, and their expressions changed drastically.

"No! I don't believe all this is true!" Hearing this, the emperor shook his head in a panic and said, "The third son has been addicted to drinking and sex all these years, and he has never cared about major affairs in the court, and he has no power in his hands. How could he, how could..."

"All of this is just for the emperor to show you." Murong Shen hurriedly said before Ye Zhaoqing opened his mouth: "Your majesty, haven't you thought that the prince has been poisoned for no reason all these years, and this is really a harem." The concubine murdered him? Once he dies, the princes below will benefit, but the one who benefits the most is the Third Prince!"

Hearing this, the emperor's face suddenly became gloomy.

Murong Shen is right, he is already old and unable to do what he wants, all the princes are still young, only Li Yu can take on the big responsibility, if he dies, he will be devastated, the remaining princes are young, the palace There is no one in the middle, the third prince is indeed likely to usurp the throne...

"Since you knew this a long time ago, why didn't you report it to me earlier?" The emperor glanced at Murong Shen and said in a deep voice.

As he said that, he turned his head and glanced at Ye Zhaoqing, unexpectedly even this woman knew about it!

"If the minister said it, would the emperor believe it?" Murong Shen raised his brows and said in a calm tone: "The emperor seems to trust the third prince more, right?"

The emperor was speechless immediately after hearing the words.

"Your Majesty! I don't have time to listen to them here now!" The queen mother said anxiously: "Even if it is the third prince, the most important thing now is how to get out of this palace? There are so many people outside, brought by the Ai family." There are only a few dozen people, and the emperor must not bring many people, and the army in the palace will not be able to come here in a while, so what should we do?"

"But I don't believe that the third child will really do this!" The emperor snorted coldly when he heard the words, and with a wave of his hand, a guard turned around and strode out.

"Queen Mother, what's going on here? How could the Prime Minister's Mansion be surrounded?" But at this time, Lin Xiang led the people of the Prime Minister's Mansion to appear at the door, and when he saw the emperor, he immediately knelt down to pay his respects: "My minister sees His Majesty !"

"Prime Minister Lin stays, and the rest of the people leave first!" The emperor waved his hand and let Prime Minister Lin walk in, and said anxiously, "Master Lin, do you know the current situation?"

"Yes! Your Majesty!" Prime Minister Lin nodded, and replied: "Wei Chen saw so many people outside, so he knew something was wrong. However, His Majesty came here, why did he bring so many people? There is no one in Weichen's mansion. ..."

"Idiot! Those people are not my people!" The emperor suddenly interrupted Lin Xiang when he heard the words, and said impatiently: "You still don't understand the situation!"

When Lin Xiang heard this, he was instantly stunned: "If it's not the emperor's man, whose man would it be?"

"It belongs to the Third Prince." Murong Shen replied in a deep voice.

"Third prince?" Lin Xiang was shocked when he heard this: "Third prince, he, he rebelled?"
