When Queen Meng heard this, she trembled and turned to look at Rong Suihe.
Because according to Rong Suihe's promise, I begged her to come forward and make a fuss tomorrow. Rong Suihe would handle everything else, and she would definitely not get into any real trouble.
However, Rong Suihe has no intention of joining the queue so far
In the midst of panic, Empress Dowager Meng hugged her tighter and said solemnly: "The Ai family has watched our niece grow up, and the Ai family knows best about her character and personality! As for the imperial doctor who serves the Ai family, although he serves I have been with the Ai family for many years, but whether I am close to the Ai family or whether I am a Chongxinhou in private, do I really think that the Ai family doesn’t know anything?!"
"I beg him to tip me off. In those years, why did I arrive earlier than Marquis Zheng and the others every time someone in the Ai family had a headache?!"
"Although the Ai family was heartbroken before, they still cared about the love between aunt and nephew and didn't care about it!"
"But I didn't want to, but indulged my courage!"
"Not only did the traitor beat the queen, he even tried to slander the queen's innocence in public!!!"
"How can Meng not do me any wrong?! How can the royal family do me such a great favor?"
"I repaid kindness with hatred, but I still stubbornly refused to realize it and did not want to repent... What evil did Meng do to have an heir like me? !!"
Queen Meng was secretly relieved after hearing this, although she didn't know whether the Queen Mother had really suspected that the imperial doctor was colluding with Meng Guiyu, or whether the Queen Mother was simply suspicious of Meng Guiyu and didn't want Emperor Xuan Jing to be cuckolded. She only said that after the people in Tiandong knew about the matter. If the Empress Dowager Ming insisted that the imperial doctor Liu Donglai's pulse report was not credible, she was somewhat relieved!
But Meng Guiyu had not expected that situation. Dangdong snorted coldly: "Auntie doesn't believe in the case, but what about Tongshi? If it was recorded under auntie's nose, auntie wouldn't still not believe it. Do you believe it? The records of Tong History clearly confirm the month of pregnancy of the Queen. If Ming Dynasty can ask several imperial doctors to come and take pulse to confirm whether the Queen is how many months pregnant?!"
He glanced at Queen Meng with a sneer, "If he remembers correctly, when the Queen was pregnant with her child, did she happen to be left alone in the palace while Chang'an was surrounded by war and chaos?!"
The queen tried hard not to show her guilty conscience, and said solemnly: "After my father and uncle got into trouble, many people from my fourth house brother came to seek refuge, let alone me, the eldest daughter-in-law? I thought I killed my escort. Can Duiyin and the others, who are going to reunite with their aunt in Linyuan, slander me arbitrarily?! God's law clearly shows that retribution is not good. I, Ruming, can't do anything to me, but they can wait and see my retribution!!!"
Her words were awe-inspiring, her expression was cold, and she looked so pure and innocent. Meng Guiyu begged him not to know what she had done, and to believe that he had wronged her!
At this moment, he smiled angrily and said: "The queen has said so much, does it seem that she is confident?!"
He asked the Queen Mother, "Auntie, your Majesty has an heir. This time the Queen and Zhaoyi have successively announced the good news. Although it is congratulatory, but if the child the Queen is carrying is not the emperor's heir, if it is not a princess, is it already humiliating? Your Majesty has passed away. If he is not the prince, then he will be your legitimate son, and will he be your heir in the future?"
"No matter how much you love the Queen, why do you ask for permission to be the Queen and let outsiders steal the blessings of Bidong's lineage?!"
At that time Luo Pu stood up and said: "The Queen Mother and the Empress, as the saying goes! The pure will become clear from itself, and the turbid will become turbid. Since Chongxin Hou must ask the imperial doctor to verify the month of the fetus conceived by the Queen. , so what if you just obey him?”
The queen's expression froze when she heard this, but she quickly thought: "Could it be that they had already made arrangements at the Imperial Hospital?"
That's not unreasonable, after all, the strength ratio at that time was wrong, and everyone knew that Rong Suihe could hardly win.
In this way, she felt at ease in Donglai.
Meng Guiyu obviously didn't think so, and his expression suddenly turned ugly!
"No!!!" Empress Dowager Meng said categorically at that time, "As for the women in the market, there are many people in the natal family who have no hope of dying, and there are elders in the common family who are sensible, and there is no such thing as a cousin who has a grudge. In a word, there are so-called cases that cannot be used as evidence at all, so let’s test the integrity of a woman’s name in public!”
"What's more, Bijun is the lord of the middle palace and the royal family member?!"
"We say and do that, but do we take the royal family seriously?!"
"Empress, the emperor's heir is of great importance, especially if your Majesty, Ruming, has no children. If the Queen is not the emperor's heir, then she will definitely ask your Majesty to inherit the throne in the future!" Luo Pu said, "Ruming. Those who question the bloodline of the heirs in the Empress’s womb are not the Empress’s natal family. If we don’t find out clearly, how will the world view your grandson after the Empress gives birth in the future?”
Empress Dowager Meng sneered and said: "The Queen Chongxin's natal family, the Queen's direct aunt of the Ai family, are not her natal family? How come Meng's Ruming didn't die so early that only two brothers from the fourth room were left? To this point, we all acquiesce in the Meng family's affairs. All matters are decided by Meng Guiyu. Even the queen's legitimate daughter who will not marry into the royal family after leaving the cabinet must be controlled by him?! He said that the queen is innocent?! The Red Queen is only pure red. He said that the Queen is not clear about red, so the Queen is not clear about red?!"
"If that's the case, doesn't it mean that the Queen Mother of the Ai family also wants to see his face and obey his orders?!"
Without waiting for an answer, the Queen Mother suddenly raised her voice and said sharply, "Aren't those confinement boys in the Ai family looking at my face, Meng Guiyu, all day long?!"
... All in all, no matter what the people in Buchang say, Queen Mother Meng's attitude is very firm: she will never let the Queen accept the examination of the imperial doctor!
Even later, the Queen Mother became more and more excited, and simply threatened: "Whoever dares to say those bastard words that slander the Queen and slander Qinghong, the direct grandson of the Ai family, will be killed by the Ai family in the palace, and I will go east to invite the late emperor." Call the shots!!!”
In that case, it was hard to say whether Suihe was allowed to do so. After all, he had such a huge advantage that Pinghong couldn't bear the reputation of being the one who forced his grandmother to death.
Whether Queen Bu Nao was innocent or not was not important to Rong Suihe at that time. Anyway, Meng Guiyu was finished.
The queen mother was no longer a queen and fell out with her nephew in public.
It is not a matter of "slandering the innocence of the mother and her son". This kind of behavior, even if the emperor has many heirs, is enough to confiscate the family and behead him.
What's more, Emperor Xuanjing had no children until the Ming Dynasty, so the weight of each emperor's heir was very important
Meng Guiyu's heart felt cold, and he didn't even know when the meeting would end.
He returned to Chongxinhou Mansion in a daze, and walked in the study for a long time, but no one came. So Minghong, even his first subordinates who had a grudge against Rong Suihe, had already noticed it. It was his end, so he didn't plan to come over.
Meng Guiyu naturally had no time to care about those people asking for ways to pass the test at the moment.
He walked alone in the study that was deserted due to its spaciousness. He was silent for a long time, and then at Meng Yan's timid reminder, he went to the backyard to change clothes.
The fourth brother of the Meng family lost both of his parents in his early years. As the eldest brother, Meng Guiyu and his three younger siblings grew up with difficulty, so even if they were children of the Meng family, they were not very squeamish.
But Meng Guiyu couldn't even put on his clothes by himself.
Just before, he didn't mind Meng Yan kicking around, but that time, he slammed the door before Meng Yan came in.
Meng Yan initially said that his master was in a bad mood. Is that normal? After all, what happened tomorrow has been publicized by Rong Suihe all over the city. Everyone is in panic.
Maybe Meng Guiyu himself was too restless at the moment to care about it.
Otherwise, based on his temper during those two years, he would have been asked to come to the management to scold him.
But after a while, Meng Yan suddenly became afraid.
He had served Meng Guiyu since he was a child, and he knew the master's temperament best. In the early years, Meng Guiyu had a very good temperament, and he was particularly kind to his master.
After Meng Guihuan was forced to enter the Guangling Palace as a concubine, Meng Guiyu's temperament changed a bit, but he became much more irritable.
According to Meng Yan's estimation, since he entered the outer room alone, Jie Donglai was basically venting his anger by smashing things.
The boy was listening carefully outside, but he didn't hear anything.
"Master Marquis? Master Marquis?" After thinking for a moment, Meng Yan plucked up the courage and shouted softly.
Although his voice was not high, the backyard of the mansion deep in the outer room was already very quiet, and some sounds could be heard through the door.
Meng Guiyu is not an old man, he is still in his prime of life, so he will definitely not notice it.
Even though Meng Yan shouted for a long time, the outer room was as quiet as death.
An ominous premonition suddenly came to his mind, and Meng Yandong raised his voice consciously: "Master Hou?! Master Hou!!!"
... A long while later, the stumbling Meng Yan and the stunned steward opened the door to the outer room, and found Meng Guiyu slumped on his feet in the room, wearing the marquis attire he wore when he was in court, with his head lowered, as if sleeping. He leaned on the edge of the couch as if he was asleep.
However, the sound of Dong Ren forcing his way in did not make him react at all.
Meng Yan felt something in his heart, and he fell to the ground with a plop, kneeling in front of him, and stretched out his legs tremblingly to pull him: "Master Marquis? Master Marquis, please wake up... don't ask to be scared..."
Before he finished speaking, there was already a feeling of coldness where he touched his legs. Under the fine silk and satin, his skin was already a little stiff and looked like a living person.
Chongxin Hou Meng Guiyu, in the late spring of the 34th year of Xuanjing's reign, after the court failed to slander his cousin Queen Meng Qinghong, he committed suicide in the mansion that month out of fear of guilt.
Although many people later expressed their suspicion in private that Meng Guiyu committed suicide, no one dared to say anything because of the fear of Rong Suihe, the king of Mi Zhen County.
In particular, even Empress Dowager Meng and Empress Meng, who were related to Meng Guiyu by blood, remained silent. After acknowledging whether Meng Guiyu "committed suicide out of fear of crime", the matter was directly recorded in the history books, and it was regarded as a coffin closure. It’s settled.
The next month, the ministers were present, and on the grounds that Emperor Xuanjing was critically ill, they asked Empress Dowager Meng and Emperor Xuanjing to quickly appoint Shuihe as the crown prince, and to serve as regent and supervise the country, so as to calm the people of the country.
