Chapter 62
Empress Yin hurriedly comforted her: "Queen Mother, calm down. It's getting late now, anyway, I'll know when I call the third child over tomorrow."

Concubine De was so frightened that she dared not speak.Although my son is not famous, but he has never caused trouble, what's the matter, it seems that he suddenly lost his courage in the middle of the road.

The queen mother squinted her eyes and thought for a while: "Queen, what is the origin of that concubine? Have you seen him in Xishan?"

Asking this is a taboo for Empress Yin.Cui Haitang was chosen by her. First she caused trouble in Xishan, and then in the palace. If she said it, she would really lose her.

Then he evaded for a while, picked something unimportant and said: "The concubine's surname is Cui, she is the daughter of Cui Guozhen of the Imperial Academy, I have seen it before, and she looks like a very honest and responsible child, who knows that there will be such a scheming."

The queen mother snorted coldly: "Just look at these things in the palace. When you didn't enter the palace, you stood in front of the main hall to draft a talent show. Which one is not obedient? When a gust of wind blows, you don't even dare to move the broken hair on your forehead. But enter After entering the palace, let’s take a look at the methods and skills, hehe, how little do you guys know?”

These words almost reached Queen Yin's heart.

"Yes, what the queen mother said is true. Knowing people, knowing faces but not knowing the heart, the third child is so difficult, this Cui family has lost his conscience. It is also time to punish one and establish rules."

"It's not good to do anything, to do that thing... It's cheaper for her to die."

Concubine De trembled again.The Queen Mother hates ghosts stepping on the mud. Concubine De entered the palace early. I heard something from the old people in the palace. Back then, ghosts stepped on the mud and harmed the Queen Mother's youngest son and made her barren. Knowing that, she was buried alive as a sacrifice to her youngest son.

This Cui family deserves to be unlucky, what kind of move is not good, and this is what.

"Early tomorrow morning, send someone to Prince Mu's Mansion to spread the decree of the Ai family to let the third child and Mrs. Cui enter the palace together, and the Ai family will let the third child see how that Mrs. Cui died with their own eyes."

After coming out of Shoukang Palace, Concubine De finally couldn't bear it anymore and said to Empress Yin: "Empress Empress, the concubines dare not speak to the Empress Dowager..."

Empress Yin stopped in her tracks: "What do you want to say?"

"Although Yan'er is cold-tempered, she is by no means a person who doesn't discriminate between right and wrong. In addition, Princess Yongrou also tried to protect the Cui family... It's not that the concubine wants to speak for her son. The concubine's heartache is also the result of the loss of Yan'er's child." There is no one to sue, but there are still many doubts about this matter."

"for example?"

"She is a concubine who doesn't go out, and she doesn't have a powerful natal family. How can she get that thing. May I ask, has anyone seen this thing in the past few decades?"

Empress Yin looked at Concubine De: "Fortunately, you didn't say it. If you did, you're at the end, and Yan'er is at the end too."

Concubine De frowned.

Empress Yin said: "It doesn't matter whether Mrs. Cui was wronged or not. There must be someone to fight this matter, otherwise how will the Empress Dowager calm down?"

Concubine De was covered in cold sweat. In the palace for more than [-] years, she was always tepid, and this was the difference.Not harsh, not allowed, not cold.

"As a mother and concubine, you'd better persuade the third child not to hurt the queen mother's heart because of a woman. After all, you can choose a few more by-elections to enter the mansion. I heard that you have a very good niece. Didn't book someone..."

"The concubine understands, and will follow the queen's words and persuade Yan'er well."

She doesn't accept the niece anymore.No matter how good the son is, this palace is not a good place. A woman... is not a person at all.For a moment, Concubine De felt sorry for her son even more.What a day he lived!

Early the next morning, before dawn, people from the palace arrived at Prince Mu's Mansion and announced the Queen Mother's will.

In the Palace of Xingyun, Haitang forcefully smiled: "It's a blessing, not a disaster, and a disaster can't be avoided. I will explain it to the Queen Mother and Queen, and I believe they will be able to distinguish right from wrong."

"I went to the palace alone, and I told you that you were injured and unable to move..."

Haitang smiled: "Your Highness, don't be childish. Resisting the decree is not a joke." Haitang thought to herself, if you walk on the front foot, I am afraid that someone will tie you up and send you to the palace.

"Then I will accompany you to see the imperial grandmother and plead with her..."

"Okay." Haitang got up and hugged Qin Yan proactively, "Your Highness, don't be afraid, I can carry it through. If the Queen Mother gives me a few sticks, at worst, His Highness can help me heal my wounds."

Qin Yan felt uneasy, and hearing her say it pretended to be relaxed, he felt sad for a moment, and hugged Haitang tightly.

"Huh—" Haitang took a deep breath.He has a wound on his chest, and it hurts a bit from being embraced by King Mu.

"What's wrong?" Qin Yan let go of her.

"Nothing, let's go."

Seeing her calm look, Qin Yan felt admiration, and shook her hand: "Hai Tang, you are braver than I imagined."

Haitang returned with a smile.I thought to myself, on July 27th of the [-]th year of Zhengheng, there are still six years before I die, so what are you afraid of, not afraid of.

As soon as I walked into the courtyard, the first ray of sunlight in the morning was shining on the cornices of Xingyun Temple.

Haitang's heart suddenly moved, she stopped, and said in a hoarse voice: "Your Highness, is it July [-]th?"

Qin Yan said: "Yes."

"But the 27th year of Zhengheng, the [-]th of July?"

Qin Yan was surprised: "That's right, Zhengheng 27th, July [-]th, what's wrong?"

Haitang closed her eyes, recalled hard, and repeatedly determined the date.

Yes, that's right, this is the day!
"Your Highness, I want to surrender myself to the heavens."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Please take me to the queen mother. I will let the heavens prove my innocence."

Qin Yan looked at her suspiciously, and the uneasiness in his heart suddenly became more serious.

Shoukang Palace.

Under Mu Wang's strong request, the Queen Mother agreed to meet Cui Shi so that she would not be a ghost who died unjustly.

Kneeling in the main hall of Shoukang Palace, the Empress Dowager stands high above, without the kindness and kindness of Xiyuan back then.Empress Yin sat beside her, while Concubine De stood beside her.Lin Guifei's main business is to accompany the emperor, and she has no time to mess with them.

A eunuch brought a tray with a small hourglass on it.

The queen mother pointed to the hourglass: "When the sand pot is empty, you can shut up."

Haitang looked at the speed of the hourglass, probably enough to say twenty or thirty sentences by herself, and she had to speak very fast.Apparently the Queen Mother didn't want to get entangled with herself at all, she just wanted to gag King Mu's mouth as a formality.

Haitang took a breath, and said calmly: "The water lily was raised by the concubine, and the water tank was begged by the concubine. But the concubine didn't recognize the things found in it. Heaven has eyes to discern sentient beings. Concubine respects the queen mother, I also believe in the sky. I implore the queen mother to let the concubine hand over to the sky to prove her innocence."

After finishing speaking, I fell to the end and couldn't get up for a long time.

The queen mother was a little surprised that the Cui family did not cry out for injustice in a hurry.Obviously the hourglass is not over yet, but she has given up persuasion.

Is she too confident, or is he underestimating her?

The heavens... She handed herself over to the heavens, what is the meaning of this?
