concubines

Chapter 174 The Truth
The emperor slightly opened his dazed eyes, looked over suspiciously, and asked tentatively, "What do you know?"

He was not in the palace back then, but the eldest princess was in the capital.Moreover, the eldest princess was still a little girl at the time, and adults might not care about her when they spoke. It is not surprising that she knows things that others don't.

The emperor has really reached the point when the oil is exhausted and the lights are dry. During this period of time, he often thinks about the past, and has dreamed of the queen and concubine countless times, so he is very concerned about the things that the eldest princess knows.

The eldest princess clenched her fists and said: "I know all the truth back then, but Concubine Liang refused to let me be. I feel sorry for her, she didn't tell those things, and now there is no way to hide it anymore. Everything is a scam by the emperor's wife , she was the instigator. It's just that she didn't control the matter well, and finally took her life."

With a glance, the two men in the room were stunned.Like overthrowing all their existing cognition, the world is turned upside down.

Zhou Shuxuan never believed that Concubine Liang had done those things, but he never thought that it would be such a reversal.

The emperor thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "Zhuang Ding, don't make up nonsense to deceive me. This is the crime of deceiving the emperor, you'd better speak carefully."

The eldest princess knelt on the ground, stretched her finger to the sky, and said forcefully: "I can assure you with the head on my neck that there is absolutely no fake word in my words. Everything is a scene directed and performed by the queen herself. She knows what is going on in her stomach." The fetal image of the child was unstable, and he was afraid that the emperor would make the eldest son the crown prince, so he knew that he was acting out a scene, and at the same time pulled the pregnant concubine."

The queen didn't know about King Qi's life experience, but only knew that the emperor went to Concubine Jin's palace to make a fuss.Later, the child was changed. In order to appease Concubine Jin, the emperor often went to Concubine Jin's palace.In the eyes of the queen, it means that the emperor loves Concubine Jin and the eldest prince.

The emperor still doesn't believe it, and it's impossible to believe it. How could this be?
The eldest princess saw the shock on the emperor's face, and then said: "She wrote the false imperial decree herself, and she also released the news. Not only that, she also attacked Concubine Liang many times at that time. Protecting and saving each other, I am afraid that there is no third child now."

The emperor fell down on the stool, and said with difficulty, "These things... how do you know?"

"At that time, I often went to the palace to see the eldest prince, and heard them talk about these things. I also witnessed the empress with her big belly in the snow asking Concubine Liang to admire the plum blossoms, and she insisted that Concubine Liang pick plum blossoms for her. Concubine Liang almost fell on the ground. Snow."

At that time, King Qi's biological mother wanted to see her child, so Princess Zhang often took her into the palace.

The emperor still had a look of disbelief, as if everything she said was false.Muttering to himself, "It's all fake, I don't believe it."

The eldest princess said from the bottom of her heart: "Your majesty, I also thought it was a lie, but it is true. If your majesty doesn't believe it, you can ask Concubine Jin to come over and ask her if what I said is true."

The emperor deceived himself and others, "You are all in collusion, and you have long been disobedient, so you can't trust what anyone says. If this is the case, why didn't Liangfei tell me?"

"Concubine Jin once persuaded her to explain everything to you clearly," the eldest princess still remembers Concubine Liang's original words at that time, "but she said that the young couple of the emperor and the empress should want to grow old forever, the empress The emperor is already very sad when he died early. Saying this will only change the image of the empress in the emperor's heart, and make the emperor even more sad. Besides, now that she is gone, there is no point in saying it, so be it."

At this time, the emperor can no longer refute, because these words are definitely what Concubine Liang can say.

The eldest princess then added, "Not only that, before Concubine Liang died, she specifically asked Concubine Jin and I not to tell you these things, even her own son, all in order to maintain the image of the Queen in your heart. She died It’s okay, you don’t need to look at these things in the world. Concubine Jin and I will watch you favor the son of the culprit every day, and trample the son of a good man to the soles of your feet.”

The emperor had already closed his eyes, his head was buzzing, he didn't know what to say.He was about to issue an imperial edict tomorrow, but he heard such news today.His eyes fell on Zhou Shuxuan, and he didn't know how to face him for a while.

The emperor was still struggling in his heart, and shouted to the eldest princess: "Why didn't you say it before, but why did you choose to say it at this time? What do you mean!"

"What do I mean, Brother Huang should have a general idea now. The third child has been wronged for so many years, I just don't want him to be wronged now!"

"You..." The emperor pointed at the two of them, "You actually spy on me."

The topic was about to be shifted abruptly, and the eldest princess was not too scared, and said straightly: "Some things are inevitable, I'm just afraid that you didn't choose the right person."

The emperor could no longer think in his head, with hundreds of emotions intertwined, he slapped the table and shouted: "Come here."

It was not the servants who came in quickly from the outside, but the Imperial Forest Army.He didn't even wait for the emperor's order, and directly announced the eldest princess and Zhou Shu.

"Drag it to the clan mansion."

Two fists are no match for four hands, and the eldest princess has not recovered now, so she can't get rid of them at all.He could only yell at the people on the dragon chair: "What I said is the truth, the emperor must think twice before acting."

The emperor didn't listen to her at all, he didn't even look at them, turned around and went directly to the bedroom behind.He needs to rest, he has a headache.

Almost at the moment when the two of them were dragged out, a eunuch ran to Prince Qin's mansion as if he was out of the palace, and had already entered the city defense camp.

Miao Li has fallen asleep now, she didn't become suspicious, thinking that Zhou Shuxuan just had some ordinary things.

Wei Hai was on standby all the time, not daring to close his eyes, watching the development of the situation.Nothing happened until now, thinking that today will pass safely, and nothing will happen in the future.Just when he was about to feel relieved, people from the palace rushed in, left in a hurry after leaving a word.

"Both the eldest princess and King Qin were taken into the clan mansion."

Those who didn't want to come still came, Wei Hai was always ready, let Xiaohong enter the room to wake up Miaoli, and waited for her to get up.Miao Li was in a drowsy sleep, she woke up with sleepy eyes and asked Xiao Hong, "What happened?"

"The maidservant doesn't know either, Master Wei hastily asked the maidservant to wake the girl up."

Wei Hai's words were equivalent to Zhou Shuxuan's words, and Miao Li didn't say much to Xiaohong, she helped get dressed and let Wei Hai in.

"It's late at night, what happened?"

Wei Hai had already thought of a countermeasure. Miao Li is not an ordinary person, so she is not so easy to deal with.But before Zhou Shuxuan left, he left a message, asking him to do whatever he wanted.

"The prince actually entered the palace, and something happened. Now he has escaped from the palace and has already arrived outside the city. Let the servant send the girl there immediately. The servant has packed up the things, the girl should go out quickly."

What Wei Hai said was too anxious, Miao Li didn't have time to think about it, and hurried out with him.In the afternoon, Wei Hai had already prepared all the things to escape.

He Guang and He Yuan, dressed as coachmen, were sitting in the carriage waiting for them.From Miaoli getting up to getting on the carriage, it took less than a stick of incense.

Sitting in the carriage, Miao Li came to her senses and thought about these things.There was something wrong, and for some reason, she felt that something didn't make sense.

How does Zhou Shuxuan operate from entering the palace to leaving the city?How many entrances are there along the way, there are still soldiers on night watch in the city, and there are still people in the city defense battalion, how did he escape smoothly?If these people are all his, why should he run away?
When he left, didn't he say that he had gone to the princess mansion?If you are with the eldest princess, there is no need to choose to escape.She knows the current situation, fighting hard is the decision that Zhou Shuxuan may make.The eldest princess would not agree to his escape either.

Miao Li couldn't figure out what was going on, and just wanted to ask Wei Hai to enter the carriage to ask, only to find that the carriage had already arrived at the gate of the city, and they almost arrived with the messengers from the palace.

King Qi had just sent away the people in the palace, and they came over.

Thinking about the relationship between King Qi and Zhou Shuxuan, Wei Hai went up without thinking about it and said, "My lord, we are going out of the city now."

Who would have thought that King Qi would put on a stern face and pretend to be business-like, "It's not time to open the city gates yet, and no one is allowed to leave the city unless they have official documents or badges."

Wei Hai smiled dryly and said, "My lord, we are from Prince Qin's residence."

Of course King Qi recognized who he was, they were not from Prince Qin's mansion, so there was no need for him to come out and say this in person.King Qi said impersonally: "I know, who is in the carriage?"

"This..." Wei Hai was also a little confused about the current situation, and said, "It's the wife."

Miao Li also heard the voices outside, and now it will be difficult to go out for a while, so she has another guess in her heart.Something must have happened, otherwise it would be impossible for King Qi to guard the city gate in person.She was not allowed to go out, which meant that Zhou Shuxuan was not outside the city at all.

King Qi didn't need to look at it, he had already guessed who it was, and Zhou Shuxuan cared most about that one.

"The family members are not allowed, and no one is allowed to leave the city now." King Qi went over and lightly knocked on the wall of the carriage twice, and said to the inside: "Come out, Miss Miaoli."

Xiaohong glanced at Miaoli and asked her what she meant.

At this time, Miao Li already knew a general idea in her heart, and deduced some things.Zhou Shuxuan wasn't waiting for her outside the city, something must have happened, Wei Hai took He Guang and He Yuan with him to let her escape.

Miao Li bent down and probed out, said with a smile: "We can leave the city, the prince should have something to do, so don't disturb the prince, we will go back right away."

"Girl..." Wei Hai called out, but didn't know what to say.

"I'm a smart man. I still have things to do now. But you can't go back, just stay here."

King Qi had his own plan to detain Miaoli, not to hurt her, but to exchange for something of his own.He didn't dare to do anything to Miao Li, he would have trouble with the eldest princess.

King Qi had already got on his horse, explained to his subordinates, and led a group of people straight to the palace.

In the palace, before the eldest princess and Zhou Shuxuan arrived at the clan's mansion, the person who was holding them released them suddenly.
