Liu Mei walked forward slowly, her face was slightly flustered, especially after seeing Li Shan.
Now that the situation in the hall is like this, it's not a big deal at all, but what makes people feel even more weird is her already swollen belly.
"This... Concubine, what's the matter with this stomach?"
When Li Shan saw Liu Mei, the corners of his eyes twitched uncontrollably, and the panic was visible to the naked eye. Liu Mei obviously wanted to say something to him, but was stopped by the guards beside him.
"What do you mean?! Could it be that you want to hold the concubine hostage?" Li Shan asked with a cold face.
Lu Jingye laughed, "Why, you don't even care about the emperor, and you still care about a mere concubine?"
The speaker is unintentional, and the listener is ridiculous.
"Or..." Lu Jingye glanced at Liu Mei's stomach, "You need me to explain, what's in her stomach?"
As soon as this remark came out, the courtiers were shocked.
It is only four or five months since Emperor Jingwu passed away, not to mention that Emperor Qing was already in poor health before his death, and it was impossible to have intercourse after staying in bed for two months, but Liu Mei's stomach... Even if these men don't understand, they can tell that this is almost five or six months...
Could it be that Emperor Qing had a child with Liu Mei, who was the queen at the time, when he was lingering on the sick bed
Li Shan's brows were fierce, no one knew better than him how this child came about, but how could Lu Jingye know, he calmed down and said, "The concubine is pregnant with the late emperor's posthumous child, and her belly is of royal blood, what does King Muye mean by that?"
Oh, royal blood.
Lu Jingye laughed, Li Shan did not shed tears when he saw the coffin, he took two steps forward and said with a faint smile, "The palace is filthy and chaotic, using the name of the late emperor's posthumous son to promote orthodoxy, control the government, and make a good wishful thinking, did you learn from Liu Su?"
"You nonsense, nonsense! This is the late emperor's child..."
"Since he is the late emperor's child, why did he hide it from everyone?" Lu Jingye asked back.
It's just that at that time, they will hide the truth and change positions. After the overall situation is really grasped, who will dare to doubt whether Liu Mei's belly is the real posthumous son of the late emperor.
Li Shan never expected that Lu Jingye would easily see through his cards and push Liu Mei to everyone's eyes in this way...
Originally, he could have waited until the turmoil subsided, and pushed this child to the front of the people logically. At that time, there was only this child left in the orthodox royal blood. Who could say no
"Commander, so what if he knows, right now his troops are not half as strong as ours, so why be afraid of him?" Hu Sigu whispered in Li Shan's ear.
Right now, the whole court is already under their control, and the little troops brought by Lu Jingye are just a drop in the bucket.
Thinking of this, Li Shan laughed again, "Lord Lu, it seems that you are determined to rebel?"
When all the courtiers heard his words, they were very annoyed, and some of them couldn't help but open their mouths.
There are still those who can't help but persuade him to turn around and say: "Commander Li, Your Majesty has treated you well, and now you can put down your weapons to get a lighter sentence!"
There are also those who can't bear the humiliation and call him a wolf-hearted dog: "What do you want to persuade him to do?! Why are so many of us afraid of him? Such a wolfish and ambitious person should be killed on the spot!"
Li Shan sneered, he didn't care what these people said, as long as he got to the end and ascended to the highest position, these people would be begging for mercy in the future!
This history book has always been left to the successful to fabricate.
