Reborn Daughter

Chapter 693 The Grand Finale (13)
The matter was checked and checked, and in the end it only became the matter of the emperor, empress and concubine Xia Guifei. Besides, the emperor and empress must be the king of a country and the mother of a country, and the imperial doctors did not dare to be too presumptuous. The two of them changed their costumes, and they were about to ring the death knell and hold a big funeral, but now the cause of death is unknown, the emperor and the queen are going to be mourned, and they all need to be summoned to explain the reason, so they can't hold a state funeral for them now, Lan Qing is waiting for the prince's meaning Let's wait for Concubine Xia to wake up and know the truth first.

When Concubine Xia woke up, it was already two days later.

As soon as Concubine Xia woke up, Lan Qingzhong called all the children related to the royal family to the palace. Concubine Xia was sent to Changle Palace in a coma before, so she was naturally in the main hall of Changle Palace when she saw people. On the high seat, but it may be because of the pain of bereavement, his face is a little tired, and he sits there with his eyes downcast as if he has no strength, but it makes people see clearly the sad appearance of an old man with white hair giving away a black haired man, but in front of people , but can only bear the pain.

On the other side is Lan Qingzhong, who is dressed in the formal attire of the prince. Because the emperor has not issued a state funeral, he should succeed to the throne after the state funeral, so now Lan Qingzhong is only the prince, but he has taken over the government in the past two days. Concubine Xia was supported by two court ladies, other concubines who had been favored by the princes in the past, and of course Lao An Wang Lan Qingling and Ding Zi, these royal family members were there.

There are also several important ministers in the court, of course, the trusted ministers who were used by the emperor before are also included.

The Empress Dowager was sitting, twirling the beads in her hand, as if she was calming her heart, but her pale face was obviously not calm.

Concubine Xia's face was also very ugly. She glanced at everyone and finally lowered her head. Lan Qingzhong had already spoken: "Concubine Xia, what happened that day? What happened, and why did you faint." He said, squinting at Lan Qingling and Ding Zi, "But someone assassinated the emperor and the queen, don't be afraid, tell the prince everything you know , this crown prince will definitely uphold justice for you, and I will definitely not let my father and mother die in vain!"

It's not just Lan Qingzhong. At this time, everyone in the palace except the Queen Mother is looking at the three people in Prince An's Mansion. Old King An snorted coldly. As soon as those people turned their eyes, they looked at Lan Qingling and Ding who had calm expressions. Zi, I saw that both of them were wearing very plain clothes today, with flat expressions on their faces, slightly drooping brows and eyes, and the corners of their mouths drooping slightly, as if they were smiling wryly.

Concubine Xia Gui held her hands tightly together, her face changed several times, she didn't seem to know what to say, she said after a long while: "Concubine..." Then she felt that the title was wrong, she changed her words in a low voice, "Actually, what's going on, I'm The palace is not too clear."

Concubine Xia's eyes were a little dazed, she didn't know what to think, and she suddenly felt scared: "The emperor is a little drunk, and he said he wanted to sober up. Originally, this official was going to help the emperor go back to the Qin Palace to rest, but on the way, suddenly a The black shadow quickly passed by, attracting the emperor's attention. The emperor was probably a little drunk. If he should always take care of his own body, he went to have a look. Although Bengong was very scared, he still followed. .It’s just turning around, and I lost my follow. After turning around for a while, I saw that deserted small courtyard, so the emperor wanted to go and have a look.”

The emperor's confidant, Mr. Zhang, was also here, and he couldn't help but said: "Concubine Xia, you said that you were a little suspicious when you saw that black shadow and followed, but the emperor is the king of a country, and he understands that the body of a dragon is the most important thing. Why didn't he take a team of guards with him then?"

Concubine Xia's face changed, and she squinted her eyes at Mr. Zhang, as if blaming him for talking too much. Seeing this, Mr. Zhang couldn't help sneering: "Concubine Xia, these are common senses. You said that the emperor acted so unreasonably. Is it why, or are you planning to use lies to deceive the humble ministers and others in front of so many royal family members and important ministers!"

Concubine Xia's mouth moved, her eyebrows frowned, "I don't want to say these things, this is a scandal related to the royal family..." Speaking of this, Concubine Xia pursed her lips tightly, looking really hard to open her mouth .

Ding Zi lowered her head, and the corners of her lips were tightly pursed, subtly raised.

Concubine Xia finished her struggle between heaven and man, and then she sighed: "The empress used to be the most dignified and virtuous, and she commanded the harem with clear rewards and punishments. Mr. Zhang insisted on hearing the truth today, so I had no choice but to say it for self-protection. Otherwise, people will be suspicious." Concubine Xia Gui suddenly laughed mockingly, "Although the queen has been the mother of the country these years, the emperor does not often go to the queen's hall except for routine, I think all adults can understand this."

Concubine Xia looked at Mr. Zhang with a half-smile, Mr. Zhang was personally proposed by the emperor to be in charge of the Yushitai, he was considered the leader of the public opinion, but in fact he was impartial, and there were still concubines in the mansion, and his wife was also in the Yushi mansion. It was a display, so just as Zhang Yushi was about to mock Concubine Xia twice, his old face flushed red, and he didn't say the last word.

Concubine Xia turned her head, looked at the empress dowager and the prince who were sitting up and closed their eyes, still hesitated, and finally made up her mind and said: "To put it bluntly, this harem is actually very cruel to us concubines. But this is our fate. To win the favor of the emperor, we are fighting with our lives, but how many people will be favored in the end? Although the palace is quite loved by the emperor, sometimes I feel helpless. As the mother of a country, she is a woman after all, so she is lonely for a while, and she is private with others..."

"Nonsense! The queen mother is definitely not such a person. Concubine Xia, you dare to slander the queen, how can I let you go!" Concubine Xia didn't finish her sentence, but everyone sitting here didn't understand what she meant, and they all opened their eyes wide. I can't believe it, but Lan Qingzhong was trembling with anger, blushing and denying it, but there was a trace of doubt and even panic in his eyes, which made people even more suspicious!

Concubine Xia lowered her eyes and sighed: "Prince, it's really normal that you don't want to admit that you can't accept it. Even at that time, I was shocked to hear that the emperor was so suspicious. What happened that day was indeed an unexpected situation. The emperor faintly I have that suspicion, but I don’t believe that the Queen’s sister would do such a foolish thing. Originally, we were a little skeptical when we saw the black shadow, but the emperor associated the two together. If the sister really did such a thing, it would not only be a family scandal , It's still a national ugly, the emperor naturally doesn't want to bring guards with him, and he doesn't want more people to know about such things. Besides, this important palace is all the emperor's people, who dares to harm the emperor."

The important ministers including Zhang Yushi felt a jump in their hearts at this moment. If it was true...it would be a big scandal!
The empress dowager's eyes moved and slowly opened. She stared at Concubine Xia with her old but surprisingly sharp eyes, but she didn't speak. She seemed to understand that if she didn't explain the matter clearly today, it would be a scandal for the emperor to be stabbed to death by the empress for no apparent reason. , There were too many people who saw that situation at the beginning, and it was too difficult to shut up their mouths. They must know the truth before they can find a way to shut up!
