Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 186: Legend of Zhen Huan 56

When they entered Zai Shui Yi Fang, Yi Xin saw that the emperor was also there, and she quickly saluted the emperor and the queen.

The emperor looked unhappy, but he was kind to Yi Xin, which made Soren Zhuo beside him feel very sad. She hated the empress, the concubine, for harming her own daughter, and causing these women to occupy the emperor's mind. However, the clan tolerated her because of her status as the empress, as if they had forgotten that the empress was able to obtain the position of empress because of her daughter.

"Madam, you are polite." After the emperor called out, Yi Xin looked at Suolentzhuo and nodded. Upon seeing this, the emperor's expression softened a bit, and it was obvious that he was very satisfied with Yi Xin's attitude.

The emperor was satisfied, and the queen almost couldn't hold back her smile. She hated Yi Xin even more for letting her stepmother into the garden.

Yi Xin looked around and asked the emperor directly, "I wonder why the emperor has summoned me here?"

At this time, the emperor also regretted calling Yi Xin over. When he saw the murderous look in Suo Lun Zhuo's eyes when she looked at the queen, he knew that what Suo Lun Zhuo wanted to say must be related to the queen. It was not that he wanted to protect the queen. After all, the emperor and the queen were one. If the queen was not good, his reputation would be implicated to some extent. This was why the previous dynasty gave a reasonable reason and he released the queen.

The emperor wanted to save face, so he just wanted to find a way to get rid of Yi Xin. However, Suoleng Zhuo felt that since the queen had fallen, Yi Xin would be the one with the best chance of becoming the new queen, so she had to drag Yi Xin into the water with her. So before the emperor could speak, she walked out and knelt on the ground, tearfully begging the emperor to make a decision for her daughter Rouze and the poor grandson who died at birth.

"…In order to continue to control Prince Yong's Mansion and the so-called glory of the Ulanara clan, the Ulanara clan and the Defei in the palace watched helplessly as the bitch Yixiu killed my Rouze and the second prince in Rouze's belly. Your Majesty, my Rouze was killed by her own sister who fed her cold food and medicine bit by bit!"

The emperor just found it unbelievable, and the queen also changed her expression. She quickly looked at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I have never gotten along with my legitimate daughter. Even after my sister passed away, my legitimate mother always thought that I had taken my sister's position as legitimate wife and queen, and she complained about me a lot. But I really have never done anything to harm my sister!"

Suoleng Zhuo saw the queen was in a panic but still looked sincere and virtuous, and she felt very happy. She hated herself for tolerating this bastard for so many years for the sake of family honor, and even trying to support others to replace her. So she immediately questioned the emperor: "Your Majesty, is there any woman in this world who would not hate the woman who stole her husband?"

Mrs. Soren Zhuo burst into tears as she spoke, and the emperor felt very sad. In those years, Mrs. Soren Zhuo often went to Prince Yong's mansion to visit her daughter, so she received a lot of special care. It can be said that at that time he regarded Mrs. Soren Zhuo as an ideal mother. Therefore, after Empress Chunyuan passed away, he took good care of Mrs. Soren Zhuo. Otherwise, Mrs. Soren Zhuo would have been tortured to death by the Ulanara clan after being bedridden for so many years.

Yi Xin and Xi Zhu behind her really wanted to disappear right there. Could they listen to these things? !

However, Yi Xin and Xi Zhu could only lower their heads and look at the patterns on the ground, as if the patterns were some kind of wonder. They didn't even raise their heads or even prick up their ears.

Madam Suo Lunzhuo continued, "The marriage between the emperor and Rouze was requested by the emperor himself. Ulanara only saw the emperor's status, so she didn't care that Rouze was already engaged. Rouze was still hesitant at first. Even though she fell in love with the emperor at first sight, she knew that rumors were scary. It was because I was greedy for fame and fortune, and I didn't want Yixiu, a bastard, to ride on Rouze's head in the future. So she used the family honor to convince Rouze, and Rouze became your legitimate wife."

"Originally, I had no problem with Yixiu being your concubine. After all, she was born a concubine, and no matter how many tricks she had at home, she couldn't compare to those legitimate daughters who were properly educated. But she shouldn't have shown off in her natal family once she got pregnant, and even dared to instigate his father to promote her aunt to be your concubine!"

"She said that before you married Rouze, you told her that you would make her your wife if she gave birth to a prince. I don't know whether this is true or not, but I also know that the late emperor loved all the princes. Even if he didn't seem to love them that much, he would never make things difficult for a child on such a major matter as marrying a wife!"

"Your Majesty, think about it, which prince's wife is not a legitimate daughter?!"

The emperor had to admit that Lady Sorenzhuo was right. The late emperor's daughters-in-law and his brothers' wives, even those of lower status, were all legitimate daughters of the family, and none of them were born out of wedlock.

So he knew that it was unrealistic to promote the concubine to the main wife, but he did not expect the queen to take it seriously. Later, after he married Rouze, he regarded Rouze as an enemy who had robbed her of her status and position.

The emperor once again recalled that when Rouze was dying, she fell on his knees sadly and asked him to treat her sister Yixiu well under any circumstances. It can be seen that Rouze already knew at that time that her health and the death of her child were all caused by the evil deeds done by Yixiu.

The emperor felt as if he had never seen the world clearly, but the queen only grasped one point: "My stepmother, there is no need to slander me like this. Even if I was born a concubine, so what? I still became the wife of Prince Yong, and now I am the queen!"

After hearing this, Yi Xin felt sorry for her brain.

Sure enough, the emperor immediately caught the boasting in the queen's words and understood more clearly that the queen really had a grudge against him and Rouze.

So, the case was solved. It was estimated that the Queen had done many illegal things over the years. The Emperor also began to suspect that apart from Queen Chunyuan and the Second Prince, all the aborted children in the backyard of the Qiandi Palace and the harem were probably caused by the Queen's evil deeds.

Yi Xin and Xi Zhu pretended to sleep, and Madam Suo Lun Zhuo immediately used her biggest trick: "After years of hard work, I finally found the midwife who delivered Rou Ze. She was not bribed by anyone, but she was beaten in the palace because the second prince died at birth. The other three died one after another not long after. She was a vigilant person. When she heard that the people who delivered babies with her died one after another, she was worried that she would also be harmed, so she arranged for the whole family to leave the capital overnight."

"She told me that when the second prince was born, he had many bruises on his body. This was a sign of cold energy accumulating in his body!"

"It's true that Rouze has had a cold body since she was a child, but since she was able to successfully conceive the Second Prince, it proves that the coldness in her body is not serious enough to affect the Second Prince in the womb!"

Mrs. Sorenzhuo once again recalled that when Empress Chunyuan was pregnant, she liked to use banana leaves as a cushion for steaming dishes. Not everyone knew that banana leaves were cold in nature, so the emperor asked the director of the Imperial Hospital about it, and he indeed found out about the banana leaves.

In addition, Empress Chunyuan also liked to drink almond milk, but almond milk is not taboo for pregnant women. On the contrary, peach kernels are cold in nature and are not suitable for pregnant women to drink.

The emperor could not bear to listen any longer. No matter how the empress brought up the last words of the deceased eldest prince and Empress Chunyuan, she could not stop the emperor from ordering Xia Qian to arrest Jianqiu and Jiang Fuhai for interrogation.

Although Jianqiu did not admit that the Queen had harmed Queen Chunyuan, she, like Jiang Fuhai, confessed many things about the Queen's actions against the princesses and concubines who were pregnant in the backyard, as well as the pregnant concubines in the harem. Now the evidence was conclusive, and it was useless no matter how the Queen denied it. The only thing that could save her was the Queen Mother's edict that "the Queen should not be deposed", but that edict was secretly destroyed by Yi Xin.
