After saying the words, Meng Guiyu actually regretted it.
Because it was he who concealed Queen Meng's pregnancy, including the old doctor who specially diagnosed Queen Meng, who was also silenced by him.
Now if someone else exposes this matter, he can still argue that he was deceived by the queen.
But now he said it himself, which was nothing more than telling everyone: He was also guilty of confusing the royal bloodline and allowing his cousin to cuckold Emperor Xuan Jing!
But the matter has come to this, and it is impossible to take it back.
Meng Guiyu calmed down and said simply: "I found out earlier that you were hooking up with Prince Mi Zhen's men, and I had doubts in my heart! I was just thinking about who the deceased uncle and aunt were? How is it possible to raise a daughter who is unruly?! That’s why I don’t want to doubt you out of thin air before there is any evidence!”
"After all, although you are my cousin, once you leave the pavilion, you will naturally become a member of the royal family."
"There is a difference between a king and a minister. I can't act like a cousin to you!"
"Who would have known that I just got some evidence yesterday and was planning to confront you after the court was over, but you made the first move, didn't you?!"
"If I still had a glimmer of hope in you before, now I know exactly what's going on!"
"It's just that what I never expected is what kind of hatred you have with the Meng family. Knowing that your biological parents died in the hands of King Gaomi, not only do you want to be close to the subordinates of Prince Mi Zhen, the son of King Gaomi, but now you are even more afraid Can’t we kill all the Meng family?!”
"If you do this, if nothing else, I will ask you, are you worthy of your aunt who always loves you and protects you?!"
"Are you deliberately trying to make aunt mad to death!!!"
His words were so emotional that Queen Meng was speechless for a moment.
But after her eyes caught the surprise and contempt in the eyes of the ministers, the queen clenched her fists, sneered, and raised her voice and said: "What an eloquent Marquis Chongxin!!! I think that's how you convinced Gao Mi back then. Your Majesty, you cooperated inside and outside, and caused the death of everyone in my Zhenghou Mansion, as well as my two uncles Wu Anbo and Cheng Yangbo. Isn’t it a good death?!"
"Although after the fourth uncle and the fourth aunt left, the second and third bedrooms of the Meng family have never taken you under their knees and treated you as their own children!"
"But if you tell your conscience, without the protection of the Meng family, how could the four of you, brother and sister, keep the family property left by the fourth uncle and the fourth aunt?! Can you suppress those cunning and greedy servants like wolves? ?!”
"That period happened to be when I, Meng, was entrusted by His Majesty and was troubled by many things."
"Let's talk about you nephews and nieces. We are our biological children. It is rare to see our father and brother all year round. Isn't it commonplace?!"
"How come we have never complained about our parents and brothers? What qualifications do you have to hold a grudge?!"
At this moment, she specially wore Queen Zhai's clothes. The complicated and gorgeous clothes greatly diluted her immatureness that could not be concealed at this age, and added a bit of the majesty that a middle palace should have. When she looked around, she raised her chin slightly, raised her chin, and raised her eyebrows. They are all scornful and arrogant, but not guilty at all, "You have blocked the palace, so that I and my aunt have no title of queen and queen mother, but they are blocked every day. Not only is the information blocked, but they can't even act independently!" "
"In these days, every time I think about the death of my fourth uncle and aunt, I go to Wangchun Palace to beat and humiliate me!"
As he spoke, he held up his sleeves and exposed part of his arm in front of the courtiers.
On the arms of the aristocratic woman, who was accustomed to pampering herself, there were criss-crossing bruises of blue and purple, which looked horrifying.
Moreover, the ministers who were close could see with sharp eyes that these scars were old and new, and were not caused temporarily in the near future.
Seeing this situation, the faces of all the officials in the court became excited.
Rong Suihe was certainly overjoyed.
Meng Guiyu's group was like mourning an heir.
After all, no matter how they felt about the queen, Meng Bijun was the royal wife of Emperor Xuanjing who was grandly married into the palace, and she was fundamentally different from the concubines.
Even for ordinary noble families, beating, scolding, buying and selling concubines are nothing new, and no one will mind their own business.
However, if he takes action against his wife, not to mention the in-laws' interference, external sources will probably blame the husband for his lack of discipline and lack of respect for his wife... This is still between husband and wife.
What's more, Meng Guiyu is only Empress Meng's cousin. As he said, after the empress changed from the 14th lady of the Meng family to the master of Wangchun Palace, even if they are direct cousins, they will be separated from each other!
Under this situation, Queen Meng was abused by Meng Guiyu for a long time.
If this matter doesn't come out, everyone will just tacitly agree to it.
Now the queen does not hesitate to bare her arms in public, show her scars, and completely shake things up... No matter how much she despises this queen in her heart, it is simply unjustifiable not to give an explanation to the queen and the clan now.
"Because of what happened to my mother-in-law, I have been living a life worse than death these days!" The queen saw the changes in everyone's expressions, sneered secretly, put down her sleeves, and said in a sad tone, "Again Being angered by Marquis Chongxin was really unbearable! I originally wanted to die, but I couldn't bear to worry about the Queen Mother, so I managed to survive! Now with the blessing of God, I have another heir... "
As she spoke, she stretched out her hand to caress her already pregnant belly, and her eyes gradually started to sparkle, "I was beaten to death by Marquis Chongxin. I should take it as a bad fate. I just have to endure it for a day! But my child... Regardless of whether he is a prince or a princess, how can I bear to fall into the hands of Marquis Chongxin like me?!"
She suddenly knelt down and kowtowed to the ministers as a queen, "I beg you civil and military officials to give me a way to live for the sake of your Majesty's knees, which has been empty until now. It's not easy for the emperor to be the heir!"
"Your Majesty, you don't need to make such a big gift!" The people on Rong Suihe's side hurriedly stepped forward to give him a hand, and were about to offer words of comfort when Meng Guiyu's accomplices hurriedly said: "Why does your Majesty need to make such touching remarks?! Chong Chong As Marquis Xin just said, the heir in your womb may not be of His Majesty's blood! If that is the case, then how could you know that the scars on your body were not caused by Marquis Chongxin interrogating the adulterer in order to wash away His Majesty's humiliation, but you rejected him in every possible way and became furious. Damn, did you act impulsively?!"
"Of course, even if you make a mistake, as a daughter who has left the imperial court and is Queen Mu, Marquis Chongxin cannot personally teach you a lesson. However, if the heir in your belly really has nothing to do with His Majesty, then with all due respect, you have already committed suicide first. I have renounced myself to Your Majesty, I have renounced myself to the royal family, and I have renounced my status in the middle palace!”
"So, as your natal brother, Marquis Chongxin is also the Queen Mother's nephew and His Majesty's cousin. In order to prevent the Queen Mother and Your Majesty from being sad when they know the truth, they clean up the family privately and give an explanation to the royal family. What's wrong with that?! "
"It's even true that you, the empress, noticed the suspicion of Marquis Chongxin. In order to frame Marquis Chongxin, you started to harm yourself a long time ago. In order to achieve the shocking effect just now, Marquis Chongxin could not explain himself, thus hiding you. The truth about pregnancy!”
Hearing this, the court, which had just begun to show some excitement, suddenly became strangely silent again.
"As for the heirs in my womb, if I say that I have grown up in a deep house and have never been alone in and out of my house, and it is impossible to betray Your Majesty, I think you, the followers of Marquis Chongxin, will have to find fault with you and raise many questions. !" Empress Meng looked at the minister coldly, raised her chin, and said solemnly, "The child has not yet landed. When the child is born, I can confess my blood to His Majesty on the spot!!!"
"Your Majesty's words are really ridiculous!" The minister also said coldly, "Your Majesty has already issued an oral decree to choose an heir from the clan to inherit the throne! And he has clearly stated that he prefers Prince Qingzui! So far, His Majesty has only I have never doubted the origin of the bloodline of the flesh and blood in the mother's belly. The reason why I did this is simply because the emperor's body has been in poor condition for a long time, and the country must not be without the emperor's consideration for a day!"
"If Your Majesty can see your biological prince coming... why would you need someone else to take the position in the East Palace?!"
Queen Meng sneered, took a step forward, and said aggressively: "What? Do you mean to ask me to have my child broken out now to prove my innocence?!"
Looking at Meng Guiyu again, "I was born in a prince's family. I never leave the front door or step forward. The rules are obvious to everyone in the Meng family! The reason why the Queen Mother chose me as her successor was not just because of the Queen Mother. You have watched me grow up, and you know my character best?! The Queen Mother is your majesty’s biological mother. Even if you love me very much, how can you go beyond your majesty?!”
Without waiting for Meng Guiyu's answer, she asked again, "Today's matter involves the royal family. Although I don't want to disturb the Queen Mother, I have to ask the Queen Mother and Your Majesty to come together to distinguish right from wrong." Damn it! Otherwise, although a female prostitute in this palace is insignificant, how can the reputation of the Meng family and the dignity of the royal family be humiliated?!"
This request was reasonable and reasonable. After Luo Pu took the lead in seconding the proposal, Meng Guiyu's oblique objections were ignored.
A moment later, the Queen Mother Meng rushed over first. As soon as the old Queen Mother entered the door, she hugged the Queen and cried loudly: "Poor child! The Ai family said that you have lost a lot of money these days, and they suspect that someone has made you angry, and you are still dead. Don’t admit it! If I hadn’t been pushed to the extreme today, I’m afraid you wouldn’t even tell the truth!”
As the Queen Mother cried and confided in this way, Meng Guiyu's group became more and more pale: These words were tantamount to saying that Meng Guiyu's abuse of the Queen was true, and it had been for a long time, to the point where the Queen Mother had doubts.
What's more, looking at the way the Queen Mother felt sorry for the Empress, she obviously didn't think that the Empress had ever done anything to disgrace Emperor Xuan Jing.
This reaction seemed natural to Empress Meng, because Empress Dowager Meng did not have much trust in Meng Guiyu in the first place. After her tireless provocation in the past few months, she became even more suspicious.
Even though Meng Guiyu recently found out the truth about the queen's pregnancy and no longer dared to sow discord in front of the queen mother, the seeds of separation between the aunt and nephew have been sown.
And Meng Guiyu's various actions after gaining power further increased the Queen Mother's dissatisfaction.
Of course the Queen Mother now sided with the Queen without even thinking!
"Auntie, you'd better find out whether the thing your good niece is carrying in her belly is of royal blood. It's not too late to feel sorry for her!" Meng Guiyu looked at his aunt and nephew who were hugging each other and sneered expressionlessly. He said, "The imperial physician who has served you for decades had planned to report it to you privately before! It was only because he was worried that you would get angry because of your old age that he kept silent! However, he was worried about outsiders stealing the throne. So I sealed the pulse record and gave it to my nephew for safekeeping... If my aunt doesn't believe it, my nephew can get it for you to verify at any time!"
He said slowly and calmly, "This imperial doctor has been following my aunt all the time. Is the pulse record he left behind true or false? I'm sure my aunt won't be able to identify it, right?"
