This woman, what secret does she have
Can she let her scheming planner murder the emperor, and then stand up and bear it when life and death are at stake? !
It turned out that the old woman surnamed Xia whom I tried my best to save was already killed by Liu Zhang!
Sheng Yaoshan was puzzled, and when Ren Yue touched him lightly, he realized that his eyes were also full of tears.
However, it was dark, and Ren Yue didn't notice anything strange about him for a while.
"It seems that tonight, we can't wait for the answer we want, let's go back!" Ren Yue said softly.
"You go back first! I'll wait." Sheng Yaoshan refused and insisted on staying.
"Then I'll wait with you too." Ren Yue shook his head lightly, and the two black shadows became more and more blurred in the cold north wind.
"Your Majesty, what can you not say! I have been with you for so many years, but I have never seen you harm the Crown Prince!" After Liu Zhang left, Sheyue anxiously asked Concubine Li.
"The prince's life should end here. Even if I have no intention of hurting him for the time being, he will die in vain because of his own greed! I can't blame anyone else! I only found out about Zhu'er after it happened. Although that girl is ignorant, It also followed a wish of this Palace! By the way, what about Zhuer?" The concubine Li still didn't mention the truth of the matter, she just said it in a neutral way, how did she know that Zhuer was her She naturally knows every move of the people in Ganlu Palace, but even if she knows that she goes to the Prince's Mansion to share the recipes every night, she never stops her, and she uses the hands of others to get rid of her troubles and keeps her face. This is Li The brilliance of the concubine and empress.
"Mother, Zhu'er is timid and fearful. On the day the prince died suddenly, she hanged herself. Only one letter was left behind. She said that she was sorry for the prince and wanted to help him, but unexpectedly she hurt him! And..." Musk Moon sighed softly.
"And what?" Empress Li raised her eyebrows slightly.
"When the restrained palace servants were handling Zhu'er's body, they found that Zhu'er was pregnant for more than three months...it must be the prince's flesh and blood!" Musk Moon let out another long breath.
Ren Yue and Sheng Yaoshan were shocked when they heard it on the roof!
It turns out that these days seem to be peaceful. In fact, so many things happened! Pearl hanged herself? Still pregnant with His Royal Highness's flesh and blood? !
"Ah... a crime! I think His Royal Highness didn't really take her with her, but just wanted to take advantage of her innocence! How can a dignified prince marry a court lady?! What a joke!" The concubine Li smiled lightly and contemptuously, After a long time, he paused again, and continued: "Pass down the order and block the news. If the emperor wakes up, don't mention it! Lest he be sad."
"Your Majesty, after all, you are still thinking about the emperor. But why are you so..." She Yue was emotional and didn't understand.
"The emperor...hehe, he treats me well, it's just that..." Concubine Li smiled without saying a word.
"Just what?" Musk Moon was puzzled.
Concubine Li stopped talking and waved her hand, and She Yue bowed and left.
"No matter how good some people are to you, they are the ones who ruin your life after all."
At this moment, there is only Empress Li in the entire dormitory. She whispered to herself quietly.
Sheng Yaoshan seemed to understand what Empress Li meant, the person who treated her well and ruined her life was not someone else. It is the current emperor—Liu Heng!
Could it be that, to this day, she still has her father in her heart
Could it be that she, a weak woman, deliberately murdered the emperor, after all, it was because of her father
Sheng Yaoshan was puzzled.
"I really don't understand, isn't the emperor ruining her life?" Ren Yue muttered to himself, his eyes beckoning Sheng Yaoshan to leave together.
The peaceful night passed away. It was another cold day.
Liu Heng was still unconscious, and the stove in the imperial dining room was still warm with the health porridge that was always ready to be cooked.
"How? How?" It was the same as before. As soon as Ren Yue arrived, Rou Rou greeted him again.
"I said something I didn't understand. I said there was an old woman surnamed Xia, and the concubine Li seemed to have a prejudice against the emperor." After Ren Yue finished speaking, he explained everything yesterday in detail. Listen gently.
"Ms. Xia!" Ruan Wen was startled.
"You know him?" Ren Yue became curious.
"Before, when Sister Xue'er was still alive, one day, I went to Bailong Temple with her to taste vegetarian food, and accidentally rescued an old woman." Wen Rou carefully recalled.
"Bailong Temple? Old woman? Then what happened?" Ren Yue continued to ask.
This is too weird, in a majestic Buddhist temple, the old woman can be rescued!
"At first we also thought it was strange, the Buddhist temple was full of monks, where did the old woman come from? Seeing that the old woman was dying, Sister Xue'er was very kind, rescued her, and settled in an inn on the outskirts of Beijing Later, because I was busy with trivial matters in the palace, I didn't visit for a while, but when I went again, the clerk at the inn told me that the old lady was no longer there." Wen Wen said carefully.
"Oh? Did the monk from Bailong Temple say something? What did the old woman say?" Ren Yue continued to ask.
"The monks in Bailong Temple have long since seen through the world of mortals. Naturally, they would not say anything when asked. Even the abbot would never talk about it. The old woman was silent at first, but after a while she was able to say a few words. She never mentioned her own background, but only said that her surname is Xia! Oh! By the way, she seems to have a special liking for horseshoe cakes! Back then, Sister Xue’er asked me to pay attention to people in Beijing who like to eat horseshoe cakes!” Wen Rou suddenly What do you think of!
"Horseshoe cake!" Ren Yue was shocked!
That kind of sweet little spot sounds very common, but when he mentioned it at this moment, something suddenly came to his mind!
By the way, since the relationship with Sheng Yaoshan was restored, that kid often went out to drink with him!
Whenever I go out, I pass by a dim sum shop, and I always buy some horseshoe cakes, saying that his father Sheng Bi likes it so much that he and his sister also like it.
"What? Do you know about horseshoe cake?" Rourou was also curious.
"When you say that, I think of someone! It seems that Sheng Yaoshan said that his father likes to eat horseshoe cake!" Ren Yue recalled.
"Prime Minister Sheng!" With such a reminder, Wen Rou also remembered!
That day, I and Nangongxue took Aunt Xia to the capital for a stroll, and when I was buying horseshoe cake, I met Sheng Yaoshan, and of course Prime Minister Sheng!
correct! Aunt Xia seemed to have a strange expression that day! Even the horseshoe cake in my hand was scattered all over the floor!
Thinking about it today, it is indeed a bit strange.
Gentle continued to recall.
It really is! That day, when I and my father were out of the palace for a rotation, we met a stall selling horseshoes, and when we were buying horseshoes, we also met Sheng Yaoshan!
I still remember that day he said that he wanted to buy some horseshoes back home, saying that his father Sheng Bi liked to eat horseshoe cakes very much!
Horseshoe cake again!
The gentle thoughts were opened up at once!
"By the way, I remembered! When you mentioned horseshoe cake, it seems that the concubine Li in the palace also has a special liking for this horseshoe cake!" Rourou immediately remembered Aunt Sheyue who had met several times on the road.
Every time, she would bring a plate of horseshoe cake just taken out of the imperial meal, saying that Empress Li likes it.
Why didn't they continue to investigate this horseshoe cake and inside and outside the palace
Smiling softly, sister Xueer, although you are no longer here, your guess that day must have been correct.
"Prime Minister Sheng loves horseshoe cakes, and Empress Li also likes horseshoe cakes. Could it be that the old woman surnamed Xia knows Prime Minister Sheng and Empress Li?" Ren Yue immediately figured out the problematic relationship.
