Crowned with Pearls

   Chapter 441 The Gutter

Mrs. He was lying on the ground, in a posture of complete submission. She was brought up by Queen Hu since she was a child. She was said to be a sister, but she was actually like a mother and daughter. In a trance, I actually thought that Queen Hu had returned.

  The juvenile husband and wife, married the original wife, and shared weal and woe. Just thinking about the wife who accompanied him through the mountains and the sea, Emperor Yuanfeng's heart subconsciously softened.

He stared at Mrs. He silently for a while, and instead of calling Mrs. He up in a hurry, he said, "Auntie, do you know that Zhuangwang's mansion discovered that someone was practicing witchcraft in the palace, and cursed the royal family that no babies were born. ?"

Mrs. He frowned. She raised her head and looked directly at Emperor Yuanfeng. After thinking about it, she said, "Your Majesty, if you curse the Huang family, why should you start with King Zhuang alone? He is not the only one who is of the blood of the sage. Besides, the ministers and women are watching from the sidelines. , I don't believe it has something to do with the Song family and Song Heng."

She was magnanimous, and Emperor Yuanfeng looked at her: "The evidence is there, and all the clues do point to the Song family. If, as you said, Song Heng is really Pei'er's blood, then the Song family is Bullying! For so many years, why didn’t they report it, but kept our grandparents from getting close?! What kind of thoughts do they have?!”

This torture is full of traps, and it is easy to be overturned if you are not careful. Mrs. He stabilized her mind and did not hide her sorrow and anger: "Sir, don't you think the timing is too coincidental? The Song family may not know about Song. Heng's life experience, otherwise, why did the ancestors and wives make trouble with Song Heng for so many years, and almost caused a **** murder case between brothers? Besides, if the Song family really has such a scheming mansion and wants to cover up Song Heng's identity, why would they be so rash?"

   She finally couldn't help it, and called out to her brother-in-law in a sad voice: "My sister is in the spirit of heaven, and I also look forward to finding out the truth about this matter. The first prince and his wife know the truth, and they must want to ask for the truth!"

  Emperor Yuanfeng was not a soft-hearted person to be able to seize the throne and abolish the emperor, and he could ruthlessly take care of his son, but Mrs. He's brother-in-law really touched his heart.

   He was silent for a moment before letting Mrs. He level up, and then instructed the outside world: "Announce Chen Wenqing."

   Uncle Chen Chen Wenqing tidyed up his clothes outside, took a deep breath, and set foot on the steps of Bijian.

  The weather was getting colder, and the wind chimes under the eaves would ding-dong from time to time. Concubine Li used to like to sit on the high platform and listen to the sound, but now, she really can't sit still.

   The little eunuchs came again and again, but they never brought the news they hoped to hear.

   Even if she was as calm as Concubine Li, she couldn't hold back her breath: "Did something go wrong? Otherwise, why has there been no movement for so long?"

  If according to the plan, everything should have been settled by this time, and there are so many witnesses and evidence. At this time, the imperial front should have been shaken, but now there is no response, why is this not a cause for panic?

King Zhuang pondered, but he was not as anxious as Concubine Li. After all, he arranged the matter. He knew best that it was three points true and seven points false, but that three points was enough--Song Hengzhen The son of the first prince!

   Just need to implement this, then the fall of the Song family is inevitable.

  Because the Song family hid Song Heng for more than ten years, they couldn't tell.

As for how to implement Song Heng's life experience, King Zhuang has also worked hard. With Chen Haohui's inner responsibility, he first found the children of the wet nurse who accompanied the death of the first princess, and made up a set of strict statements to let him They went to the imperial front to speak.

Then there is Yu Pei, plus Chen Haohui's testimony, and Zhang Qingyuan by his side -- who doesn't know that Zhang Qingyuan is the confidant of the prince's confidant, and he can stay incognito by Song Heng's side, doesn't it explain anything? ?

   "No hurry." King Zhuang sat on the high platform, looked at the ancient tree that had grown almost to the sky, and said slowly, "Wait a minute."

   The wait was until evening.

  Concubine Li couldn't hold her breath any longer. She clenched her hands tightly and her face paled: "This battle is about your life and death. No mistakes can be tolerated. Think about the way out."

   As soon as the sentence came to an end, another unremarkable little **** ran wildly into the Jiqing Palace.

   Concubine Li was on the high platform, and saw this little **** at a glance, she immediately made a thud in her heart, her heartbeat was fast, and she lowered her voice and said to King Zhuang: "Come!"

   Maybe they thought wrong, things were too complicated and involved the first prince, so Emperor Yuanfeng was slower?

King Zhuang took a deep breath and helped Concubine Li down from the high platform. Before going down the stairs, he saw the little **** galloping to the front. For some reason, he suddenly felt a pain in his throat and had a bad premonition—if Everything went well, the person who came to report the letter should not look like this.

   Sure enough, the little **** didn't even bother to kneel down, so he lowered his voice and said, "Your Highness, Niangniang, the sage has called Mrs. Qin and Princess Zhuang into the palace."

What? !

Concubine Li did not expect that Emperor Yuanfeng would suddenly summon Mrs. Qin and Concubine Zhuang, because there was no need for it, not to mention that Concubine Zhuang was a daughter-in-law, but only that Concubine Zhuang was giving birth and raising her body right now, if nothing would be fatal. No matter what, it shouldn't alarm her.

  I don't know how many thoughts have been spinning in her mind in an instant, and subconsciously turned her head to look at her son.

Wang Zhuang didn't think of this at all, but he still had hope - not necessarily, he has arranged so carefully, even if he called Mrs. Qin and Princess Zhuang, it would not change anything. They are not fools, they naturally know What to say and what not to say.

  Thinking like this, but King Zhuang was still restless from the beginning, until it was getting dark, he finally couldn't hold back and stood up.

   Everything went well before. He came to the palace to accompany his mother and concubine, firstly because he wanted to show his benevolence and filial piety, and secondly, to avoid this incident and make himself appear clean and without suspicion. .

   But now, if things don't work out, then he has become a turtle in a urn.

   His heart sank all the way to the bottom like a rock.

Concubine Li was even more pale, almost nauseated, and couldn't even eat food. She kept urging King Zhuang to send people to inquire. King Zhuang took advantage of Cheng Ding'an and the Xu family to bribe a lot of people in the palace. Although he didn't dare to make friends with eunuchs in important departments, the general servants and little firemen had collected a lot of them, and they could always ask for a little clue.

  King Zhuang felt more and more uncomfortable when he was urged by her. He frowned and was about to speak, but there was a commotion outside, and then the head of the Jiqing Palace rushed in: "Niangniang, Your Highness, the saint has summoned him."
