"The Queen Mother leaked the news of the secret passage in the palace to lure Beichen into the trap, allowing Princess Ruyang and three other people to infiltrate Beichen's power." Shen Xihe said this with respect in her eyes. The Queen Mother was indeed very thoughtful. Relying on Xiao Huayong's trust and closeness to her, she dared to take such a risky move, and even succeeded.
"So, it seems that Lady Bian poisoned me not because of Concubine Liang, but because of the Queen Mother."
The Queen Mother did not deny it.
"Because Yu Xiaodie was the concubine of King Kang." Shen Xihe figured everything out. "Others don't know the list of names in the Rouge case. Beichen and I have seen it. The Queen Mother obviously also has a list. I let Yu Xiaodie go, and the Queen Mother knew the fate of King Kang. It was all my plan.
The Queen Mother has been unable to find out Beichen's true colors, so she is even less willing to let Beichen marry a woman like me who is as capable as a man. I have the Northwest Army behind me. If I give birth to a legitimate grandson, with Beichen's planning, my layout, and the support of the Northwest, it will be the Queen Mother's biggest obstacle. "
Queen Mother: "It is proven to be true."
"The poison in Beichen's body was also put there by you." Shen Xihe's calm eyes suppressed the waves, "When he was poisoned in your majesty's palace, everyone thought that Beichen had saved your majesty from the disaster, but that's not the case. The Queen Mother's purpose was Beichen."
"Why do you think so?" The Queen Mother was slightly interested.
Shen Xihe looked at Emperor Youning, who was lying peacefully on the couch with a pale face, and said, "After I understood your Majesty's character, I knew that the Queen Mother had to do this."
"What kind of person is Your Majesty?" The Queen Mother was more interested.
"Your Majesty, you are indeed not as loyal as Prince Qian, but you are definitely not an ungrateful person." Shen Xihe actually thought a lot. Emperor Youning really never suspected Xiao Huayong, even though things happened to several princes one after another.
Even after Xiao Huayong implicated Xiao Juesong during the test in the palace that year, would Your Majesty really have no suspicions anymore
Actually, there is, but Xiao Huayong is the only flesh and blood of King Qian, and His Majesty sometimes needs to numb himself and play deaf and dumb. As long as he is given a seemingly reasonable reason, he would rather continue to deceive himself.
Otherwise, he would have to face Xiao Huayong and learn of his life experience, and he would have to kill Xiao Huayong, his eldest brother's only flesh and blood, with his own hands.
"Beichen once told me that when he was young, His Majesty treated him more kindly than the other princes. Perhaps after he learned about his life, he regarded everything as flattery and left the palace with the Queen Mother early, without carefully judging whether His Majesty was sincere..."
It is human nature for anyone to know at a young age that the person he calls father all day long is the enemy who killed his father, and it is difficult for him to remain calm and rational. He or she will make malicious speculations about the enemy's every move.
"Your Majesty must have sincerely wanted to train Beichen, and even intended to pass the throne to him to make up for your guilt towards your brother. When the Queen Mother saw this, she knew that if this continued, you would no longer have the possibility of plotting for the throne.
Only if Beichen was poisoned in the palace of His Majesty, the Queen Mother could tell Beichen the past events and arouse his hatred. The poison would shorten Beichen's lifespan, which would dissuade His Majesty from passing on the throne, and a situation of the sons competing for the throne would occur.
When they kill each other and die out, it will be the time for the Queen Mother to reap the benefits.
