Chapter 45: The Entire Family Was Executed (Please Collect and Read)
Soon, a woman in her forties, dressed very elegantly, walked in.
As soon as he entered the door, he knelt on the ground with a thud.
"Your servant Fangcao greets the Queen Mother, His Majesty, and the Queen!"
"Fangcao, I have a question for you!"
Before Zheng Yi could say anything, the Queen Mother hurriedly asked, "You have been taking care of the son born to the Queen?"
"Yes, Queen Mother."
"Where are the three pregnant women you brought here to learn how to take care of the Queen? Where are they?"
"what?"
Fangcao looked up at the Queen Mother in surprise, then said in panic, "Yes, that's right."
"She, the three of them were sent out of the palace by the servants."
Watching the two of them acting hypocritically, Zheng Yi sneered and said, "Bring a pregnant woman into the palace to learn how to take care of the queen?"
"Then why didn't they bring her into the palace when the queen was just pregnant, but brought her in right after she gave birth?!"
“This, this, this, this, this…”
Fang Cao immediately panicked and gritted her teeth and said, "Your Majesty, because, because elderly pregnant women are very dangerous, I, I, my concubine and I must be careful!"
"Yes, that's it..."
Zheng Yi had to admire the intelligence of the woman in the palace. She could actually think of this reason to deal with it.
He was so angry that he laughed.
"Xuan Midwife!"
Soon, the midwife who had just delivered the queen came in trembling and paid her respects.
"Your servant greets the Queen Mother, Your Majesty, and the Queen!"
She had obviously heard what happened in the room and guessed something. She was trembling all over and was extremely frightened.
"Wang Po, right?"
Zheng Yi said, "You are the midwife in the palace. I want to ask you, when the queen gave birth, was it a prince or a princess?!"
"Yes Yes Yes Yes……"
Wang Po was so frightened that she was shaking all over and didn't know what she was saying.
She knew very well that the harem struggle involved the Empress Dowager and the Emperor.
A mere midwife could bring about a fatal disaster if she is not careful!
"Po Wang, you and I are old acquaintances. I have treated you well. You must not deceive His Majesty!"
At this time, the Queen Mother spoke again.
Zheng Yi looked at the Queen Mother with dissatisfaction: "Mother?"
"Emperor, this matter concerns the royal heirs, so we must be cautious."
The Queen Mother also said with a stiff upper lip: "Ai Jia, this is also for the Emperor's own good."
"Yes, it's the prince."
After Wang Po said this, her body went limp and she collapsed to the ground.
The Queen Mother said with satisfaction: "My son, you must have heard it clearly. Even the midwife said it is a prince. What are you still worried about?"
Zheng Yi shook his head helplessly. If he hadn't known the correct answer long ago, he would have been fooled by the Queen Mother.
Worthy of being the winner of last year’s palace fight!
You must know that the empress dowager in front of him is not the biological mother of Emperor Zhengyong, but she has been able to firmly control Emperor Zhengyong and even push him to the throne.
One can imagine the Empress Dowager’s methods of palace fighting.
But unfortunately...
The person he is facing now is Zheng Yi!
"call……"
He let out a long sigh and began to concentrate.
That pure yin energy still lingers in the palace.
And it’s not far from the Queen’s bedroom.
Or rather... right inside the bedroom!
Following the feeling in your heart, search slowly.
Lu Lin'er asked curiously, "Your Majesty?"
"Everyone, be silent..."
At the command, all the women present shut up.
Even the Queen Mother is like this.
At this time, the Queen Mother was warning Fangcao and the midwife with her eyes, and her eyes were extremely sharp.
The two girls were so scared that they quickly lowered their heads, not knowing what they were thinking.
Soon, Zheng Yi arrived in front of a bookshelf in the outer hall of the bedroom.
This bookshelf is huge, reaching up to the top of the bedroom, and is filled with all kinds of books and antiques.
Seeing Zheng Yi coming here, the Queen Mother's face became even uglier.
"emperor?"
organ?
Zheng Yi asked, "Mother, do you want to open it yourself or let me open it?"
At this time, the Queen Mother was still stubborn: "I don't know what the Emperor is talking about."
"Humph!"
Zheng Yi called out, "Cheng'en!"
"His Majesty!"
Unexpectedly, the queen struggled to sit up and said through gritted teeth, "On the right side of the bookshelf, the fourth jade pot on the third shelf is the mechanism." "I, I also want to know what the truth is."
Zheng Yi found the emerald jade pot and turned it gently.
"Click..."
As expected, the bookshelf quickly moved away, revealing the empty space behind it.
A dull smell mixed with a thin scent of blood came from it.
At the same time, the faint cries of several babies were heard from it.
Seeing this, Fangcao and the midwife became even more desperate and collapsed to the ground, trembling all over.
Zheng Yi led his men in, and sure enough, after turning the corner, they found several other figures there.
Three women in labor and three maids taking care of the babies.
When they saw Zheng Yi appear, the six people were shocked.
The three maids quickly knelt on the ground holding the children and shouted "Long live the child".
Even the three women in labor had to struggle to stand up.
"Hand the child over to me!"
“Yes, yes…”
The three maids handed the child over tremblingly, and Zheng Yi examined it carefully.
These three children are two girls and one boy.
In other words, the three pregnant women found by the queen, or the queen mother, gave birth to two boys and one girl.
The person they carried out was one of the boys.
As for my daughter...
Zheng Yi fixed his eyes on the girl on the left, and a strange feeling of blood connection appeared in his heart.
The pure yin energy at this moment was slowly dissipating from her body.
"Bring the kids out!"
Three maids came out with the children. Seeing this, the Queen Mother slowly closed her eyes.
The queen straightened up suddenly and said in a trembling voice: "Child, child, which one is my child?"
Zheng Yi looked at the midwife and said, "Po Wang, I'll give you one more chance."
"Tell me which one is my child, and I will leave you with an intact body."
"Otherwise, the whole family will be executed!"
Wang Po's body suddenly paused, her teeth began to chatter, and she raised her head in panic.
"Your Majesty, spare my life, spare my life!"
"Say!"
"Yes, yes, that's it..."
As she spoke, she pointed to the girl on the left, and Zheng Yi nodded slowly.
"How do you know for sure?"
"The swaddling clothes are different. The one for men has a green background with a dragon pattern, while the one for women has a red background with a phoenix pattern."
"Who ordered you?"
Zheng Yi asked in a deep voice: "Empress? Or Queen Mother?"
"emperor!"
The Queen Mother suddenly said in a stern voice: "I have done all this for the sake of the Great Yu Empire. Your Majesty, please..."
"Mother!"
Zheng Yi retorted: "What I did was also for the sake of the Great Yu!"
"I'm afraid I can't raise a bastard."
"Tell me! Who is it?"
Wang Po was frightened and subconsciously looked up at the Queen Mother. Then she quickly lowered her head and said in a trembling voice:
“Yes, yes, yes, yes…”
"it's me!"
Suddenly, Fangcao next to her raised her head and said, "Yes, it was done by this servant. This servant did everything."
"It has nothing to do with the Queen Mother or the Empress Dowager!"
"Oh?"
Zheng Yi glanced at Fangcao and saw the Queen Mother heaved a sigh of relief.
"Yes, it's my servant."
Fangcao seemed to have figured something out, and said, "This servant saw that the Empress was thinking about His Majesty too hard, and she looked towards the Qiankun Palace every night, feeling depressed."
"So I thought that if the Queen could give birth to a prince, His Majesty would come to the Queen's place more often..."
"Aunt Fangcao..."
The queen was also stunned. She didn't expect Fangcao to give such a reason, which was entirely for herself.
This……
Zheng Yi also shook his head and said coldly: "To dare to murder the heir to the throne for one's own selfish interests is a heinous crime!"
"Grandma Wang, give me the white silk!"
"The whole family was exiled to Nanyue County."
"Fangcao...beat to death!"
"The whole family was executed!!!"
