"Your Majesty." Hai Lancha knelt on the ground, "The servant has checked the imperial jade ultimatum as you ordered."
Hongli sat behind the table with a gloomy face, and the "Chunhui Tu", which had a deep love between mother and son, was rudely pushed aside by him, and he said solemnly: "Speak!"
Hai Lancha: "It is clearly recorded on the imperial jade slogan that on the 13th day of the eighth month of Xinmao in the 50th year of Kangxi's reign, the daughter of the current Empress Dowager Niu Hulu of Chongqing, Ling Zhu's daughter, was in the Lama Temple."
Hongli was not very satisfied with the result, he said: "The birth of the royal family's children is reported once in March, indicating the birth date and birth mother, and every ten years, according to the recorded manuscript, a jade ultimatum will be added."
Hai Lancha was stunned, and hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, even if it is added every ten years, after all, there is a record, and it cannot prove that the jade has been artificially modified!"
Hongli was confused and didn't know whether the result was good or bad, but if he was suspicious, he had to find out the truth, and immediately asked: "I asked you to check the actual record of the late emperor, what did you get?"
Hailancha: "The actual record is completely consistent with the record of the jade ultimatum. It was sent to the Ministry of Rites, according to the decree of the Empress Dowager Madam Yi, and the concubine Nian was named as the noble concubine; the concubine Li was named as the concubine Qi; For Concubine Xi—"
"... The record can't be found. It seems that what Mrs. Wen Shu said is true or false, and only one person can tell me!" Hong Li suddenly got up, left the people in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and walked out of the door.
Shoukang Palace.
The queen mother was paying homage to the Buddha, when the wooden fish knocked loudly, and suddenly a footstep came in, disrupting the tranquility in the Buddhist hall.
"Emperor?" The queen mother turned her head and looked at the other in surprise, "What's wrong with you, your face is so ugly."
Hongli's face was covered with dark clouds, and he waved his hand: "I have something important to discuss with the Queen Mother, you all go out!"
Aunt Liu glanced at the queen mother, and the queen mother nodded to her, and she led the crowd down.
As soon as the door was closed, the queen mother got up from the futon and approached him with a loving smile on her face: "What happened, can you tell me now?"
Hongli stared at her smiling face, and seemed to be distinguishing the true and false smiles: "Before Mrs. Wen Shu died of illness, she left me a letter with a never-ending letter. Empress Dowager, I just want to ask you, my biological mother, who is you? ...or the Qian family?"
The smile on the queen mother's face froze.
This change in expression could not escape Hongli's eyes, and he asked, "Assuming that my biological mother is really a Chinese girl, why do you, who live in Shoukang Palace, always consider yourself your biological mother?"
The empress dowager quickly regained her composure, and in turn questioned him: "Don't listen to the absurd words, Your Majesty, will the royal jade ultimatum still be false?"
"The jade and the imperial decree can be compiled by future generations, and no one knows the truth at the beginning." Hongli said word by word, "So, I came to ask for an answer in person, and ask the queen mother to tell me frankly."
The queen mother pursed her lips tightly, with an offended anger.
"... Mrs. Wen Shu is my wet nurse, I know better than anyone what she is like." Hongli had already relented in the past, but today he is unrelenting, "If you don't want to tell me, I can go. Check, I will find out the old people of Prince Yong’s mansion one by one, and at that time, I will not be too embarrassed.”
Because of his last words, the hall was dead silent.
Wei Yingluo wanted to come over with a stack of scriptures, but seeing the atmosphere like this, she had to hide behind the flower and bird screen, not daring to come out.
After a long time, the Queen Mother sighed softly: "Yes, the emperor's biological mother is indeed the Qian family in Jiaxing."
Hongli was shocked and asked, "Why has no one ever told me for so many years?"
The queen mother turned around slowly, with rosary beads wrapped around her hands, walked slowly to the Buddha statue, turned her back to him, and said, "At that time, the late emperor was still Prince Yong, and the Qian family was just a servant girl in the palace. Once, the prince was infected with the epidemic. The prince was deeply moved by the waiter, so he made an exception to seal the grid. It’s a pity…”
"What a pity?" Hongli asked hurriedly.
Empress Dowager: "Unfortunately, your fate is very good."
Hongli was taken aback: "I don't understand..."
"Xinmao, Ding You, Gengwu, Bingzi, include five blessings, rich and natural, and can help the king to climb the ninth five. Such a golden fate is destined to be extraordinary. How can he be raised by a humble Han girl." The queen mother suddenly turned back and stared at him, "Master Xiang said that if you stay with Qian's side, it will hinder your destiny. Therefore, since you were born, you were carried to me and became my son."
"Then..." Hong Li's voice trembled slightly, "What about the Qian family?"
The queen mother sighed: "Qian Shi hurt her vitality when she gave birth to you, but after two or three years, the oil was exhausted and her hands were gone. Before she died, she took my hand and refused to close her eyes for a long time. She didn't close her eyes until I promised her that I would treat you as my own son."
Hongli fell silent. He seemed to want to believe it, but he couldn't help but doubt the truth of what he said. After a long time, he said hoarsely: "Is everything the Queen Mother said true?"
"Your Majesty!" A trace of suppressed anger finally appeared on the Empress Dowager's face, "It is said that the kindness of life is not as important as the kindness of raising, even if I am not your mother-in-law, but I have raised you carefully for many years, think about it carefully, after all these years, Do I have the slightest bit of scorn for you? I hold you in the palm of my hand like a pearl, and you don't believe me at all?"
Hongli stared at her anger for a long time, and finally lowered his head slowly: "What the queen mother said is that I was abrupt, please forgive the queen mother."
Seeing that he was willing to bow his head, the queen mother also softened her tone and reached out to pull him: "Emperor, Mrs. Wen Shu really left a letter, why didn't she take it out in ten years, this letter must be forged by someone who wants to alienate our mother and son. , the other party is sure that you are filial to your mother, and when you hear the news, you must be furious..."
I don't know if it was intentional or not, Hongli avoided the opponent's hand and turned around and said: "Queen Mother, I will definitely investigate this matter. I disturbed the Queen Mother today. quit."
The queen mother was stunned and shouted at his back: "Emperor!"
Hongli walked out of the palace gate without looking back as if he didn't hear her cry.
Behind her, the queen mother hurriedly chased after a few steps, and accidentally fell to the ground. Wei Yingluo saw it, and hurriedly turned out from behind the screen and reached out to help her up.
"It's over." The queen mother seemed to be restless, and would only repeat this sentence back and forth, "It's all over."
"Please forgive the empress dowager, the concubine did not intend to eavesdrop." Wei Yingluo accused her of the crime first, and seeing that she didn't care at all, she turned the topic to the main business, "The empress dowager just said everything was sincere, the emperor will definitely I won't have a grudge against the Queen Mother because my biological mother is someone else."
The queen mother shook her head and said worriedly: "Just because of this, the emperor's face won't be so scary, I'm worried... The content of that letter is not so simple!"
