Chapter 433 The Replaced Male Protagonist 4 (Revised)
The imperial concubine who came to greet the emperor and the imperial concubine Yang Jiye who hurried back did not look very good. It seemed that the old lady was indeed dying.
After the emperor let them get up at will, he quickened his pace to enter the palace, and was soon taken into the old lady's ward.
"Sister-in-law..."
The old lady was lying on the bed dying. When she heard the emperor's call, she opened her eyes.She grabbed Ling Xiao, who was kneeling next to her, and looked at the emperor with difficulty.
"The official... you are here... this child was in a hurry... so... he hit Emperor Baokang lightly or hard... Don't hate him, he is your eldest son!"
"I know, I won't do it. Madam-in-law, don't scare me. If Baokang causes you to have trouble, how can I face Brother Yang?"
The emperor pushed Ling Xiao away at will, held the old lady's hand, and his eyes were red as he spoke.
Ling Xiao silently stood up and walked a few steps to Yang Jiye. He raised his eyes and looked at Yang Jiye with questioning eyes. Yang Jiye nodded calmly and raised his eyebrows in the direction of Dali Temple.
Now that the emperor has left the palace, the queen is the biggest in the palace. No one can stop her from doing what she wants to do.I just hope that the Queen will cherish this opportunity and not miss it.
"The official... is old and weak, and has nothing to do with Baokang. The child is a bit naive, and he probably did something wrong because of his friendship with the deposed prince...
Ho...ho...don't punish her, don't hurt the harmony between father and daughter for the sake of old age. "
The old lady grabbed the emperor's wrist and spoke with great effort. Her eyes were so sincere that the emperor's face turned red.
"Sister-in-law, please don't think too much. I will handle this matter impartially and will never let the Duke's government suffer such injustice."
"Guan, I am not wronged. Now it is probably the Duke of the country who has come to pick me up. It is my fate to leave with him. You don't have to worry."
"Uuuuuuuuah...Grandma, grandma! Don't go! Bao'er hasn't grown up yet, so please don't go anywhere, okay?
Grandma, wow wow wow... Bao'er has some good news to tell you!Mother said she has a younger brother in her belly. Please wake up! "
A milk dumpling flew in from outside the room. She didn't know what was happening. The housekeeper found her while she was playing and told her that her grandmother was seriously ill and asked her to go and have a look.
She ran all the way over, and as soon as she reached the door, she heard the old lady saying she was leaving. She was so frightened that she burst into tears.
As soon as she cried, the Crown Prince's eyes immediately turned red, and she took a few steps over to take her into her arms.
"Bao'er, be good, stop crying, don't offend the Holy One, and if you cry like this, how can grandma rest?"
The emperor looked away from the old lady and looked up at the Yang family.
The eldest son Yang Jiye and the second son Yang Ziye had sad faces, and their eyes could not hide the sadness and humiliation. The eldest concubine and Xiaobao both had tears in their eyes.
The imperial concubine did not stop Xiaobao, who had already rushed to the emperor's side. With her small body, she walked around the emperor, climbed onto the bed, and lay gently beside the old lady, raising her head and staring at the old lady.
Being stared at by Xiao Bao, the old lady almost couldn't pretend anymore. She raised her hand and gently stroked Xiao Bao's head, her eyes red with guilt.
The emperor's eyes looked at everyone in the Duke's Mansion. He slowly closed his eyes, then opened them with a sigh.
"Sister-in-law, don't worry too much and take good care of yourself. For the sake of the prince's children, you must also get well!
I will let the Chief Hospital Officer stay at the Duke's residence recently, and he will take good care of your health. You will definitely get better.
Sigh... Let my servant take me to burn incense in front of Brother Yang's memorial tablet!We haven’t seen each other for many years, and I have something to say to him. "
Yang Jiye personally led the way and sent the emperor to his ancestral hall.The emperor waved everyone away with a sad expression and sat quietly in the Yang family ancestral hall.
The emperor looked at the tablets of the Yang family's ancestors with exhaustion, and stared for a long time before looking away, and then looked at the countless merit tablets of soldiers on the walls on both sides.
"Brother Yang, the Yang family has been a prominent family for hundreds of years. The Yang family has always been loyal. Now, the direct descendants of the Yang family only have one daughter, and the collateral descendants have almost withered away..."
The emperor looked at the memorial tablet of Duke Yang and murmured softly. He really had a lot to say.
Ling Xiao and Yang Jiye estimated in the old lady's room that the emperor had been sitting in the ancestral hall for about half an hour and there was no movement in the palace. The queen was really an idiot.
You must know that although she did not communicate with the queen, the old lady took the medicine to pretend to be ill, not just to help Ling Xiao get away with the crime or to deliberately embarrass Baokang.
Their purpose was to lure the emperor out of the palace and give the queen the absolute right to thoroughly investigate what happened that year.
Just when the Yang family was full of expectations, a fast horse hurriedly came to the palace. The people from the Imperial City Division jumped off the horse and hurriedly met Yang Jiye.
"Your Majesty, the Queen asked me to bring century-old ginseng and golden blood swallows to the house. The Queen said that the old lady must feel at ease."
After finishing speaking, he frowned and looked at Yang Jiye again. Just as he was about to ask where the emperor was, the secret guard beside the emperor fell down and led the man to the door of the Yang Mansion Ancestral Hall.
"Your Majesty, the Queen has asked you to return to the palace as soon as possible. She has found out the origin of the deposed prince. Please go back and make a decision."
When the emperor heard that the queen was so efficient, he immediately opened the door and walked out of the ancestral hall when he thought of Heng'er, whom he had raised by his side for 20 years.
"The Prime Minister of Chuan Tai Hospital is staying in the Duke's Mansion. If the old lady is not well for one day, he does not need to return to the palace. If the old lady becomes ill and cannot afford it, let his whole family be buried with him."
The emperor had no time to say goodbye to the old lady, so he walked out of the Duke's Mansion and sat back in his carriage.
"Your Majesty sets off..."
The emperor's carriage and honor guard gradually moved away. Ling Xiao and Yang Jiye looked at each other with smiles in their eyes.
The queen certainly lived up to their expectations. She had been the empress of the palace for more than 20 years, so how could she be compared to someone like the emperor who was not very bright.
The emperor quickly returned to the palace and entered the Yikun Palace. The emperor looked at Concubine Hui kneeling on the ground in astonishment, the city defense camp governor, the Tongzhou captain who had just returned to the capital, Baokang Emperor Ji, and even the deposed prince.
"Queen, what's going on?"
"In the official family, I know that there is no way to deal with the old things, so I thought about asking the Ji Xiaowei who helped me find the child to come back and check. However, he would rather set himself on fire than come back, which frightened me. .
Xiaowei Ji entered Dali Temple to cooperate with the investigation, but it happened that Dr. Lin was helping Mr. He of Dali Temple. Both of them felt that there was some similarity between Xiaowei Ji and the deposed prince.
Therefore, an experiment was conducted to identify relatives by dripping blood. As a result, the deposed prince and Lieutenant Ji were actually father and son.
Mr. He immediately sent someone to conduct a thorough investigation of Ji Xiaowei's residence. Sure enough, he found out that Ji Xiaowei's wife gave birth to a child 20 years ago, but Ji Xiaowei hurriedly took the child out of the house after birth.
The Ji family claimed that the child was weak and died at birth.It's really unbelievable that Captain Ji actually dared to trade his own child for his concubine's legitimate son.
The concubine was about to conduct a thorough investigation of the Ji family when Concubine Hui and Baokang arrived. They said that the concubine was trying to get involved, and that Dr. Lin had ulterior motives and had tampered with the medicine.
Naturally, Dr. Lin would not admit it. He said that he could find anyone to experiment, and he could also let anyone hold a medicine bowl and test it again.If there is any omission, the nine clans will die together to prove their innocence.
The captain of the patrol camp who happened to demolish the gate of Yang Guogong was in the imperial study room to plead guilty. Hearing the movement in Yikun Palace, he thought you were here and followed him in.
Baokang said that Dr. Lin was a quack, and he was afraid that not everyone's blood could blend with each other, so he ordered someone to bring two bowls of medicine according to the prescription given by Dr. Lin.
After the potion was brought, Baokang took his own blood and confessed his kinship with the patrol battalion inspector, and they actually got along well with each other.
Concubine Hui immediately ordered the guards to drag Dr. Lin down and beat him to death with sticks. However, Dr. Lin desperately poured his own blood into another bowl, so I asked Aunt Rong to do the same.
The blood of the imperial doctor and grandma did not blend!
Therefore, I don’t know how to deal with it for a while, so I can only ask them to kneel down and wait for you to come back and make a decision. "
The emperor was already furious at this time. Concubine Hui conspired with her mother clan to murder the prince, cholera the royal bloodline, and even cuckolded herself!
The emperor staggered back several steps. Just now, when he was facing the Yang family's memorial tablet, he was still thinking that Baokang was his favorite daughter after all, so it was just a matter of sending her out for marriage.
However, he never imagined that Baokang was not his daughter.
"Ji Lanhui! I have given you honor and favor for many years, and this is how you repay me!"
The emperor was so angry that he kicked Concubine Hui with all his strength. He casually pulled out his sword and was about to kill the governor.
"Your Majesty, I am innocent. It was Imperial Doctor Lin who deliberately slandered me!"
"Your Majesty, I was just an unknown ordinary foot soldier 20 years ago. I have never held a position in the palace, and I have never met a noble concubine..."
The governor was stunned. He couldn't even carry this huge pot!
Ling Xiao's soul was beside him. He hugged his shoulders and sneered at Baokang.The father he chose for Baokang would naturally make no mistakes. Baokang was the real Emperor Ji, but Ling Xiao could make her become a fake one.
As for why this governor was chosen, this person is the boss of Lieutenant Ji, and even more so the lackey of the deposed prince.He was the one who shot and wounded Yang Jiye, and he was also the one who helped the deposed prince tame the dead men and attacked the old lady in the street.
Moreover, the deposed prince was cursed by Ling Xiao to answer all questions and tell the truth. Yang Jiye's brother-in-law, Mr. He, should have almost finished the trial by now.
"Your Majesty, Sir, please see me."
Ling Xiao was tugging at the corner of his mouth as he watched them cry out for injustice, and when Doctor Lin went to be arrested to prepare medicine again, the eunuch's voice came from outside the door.
Later, Lord He, the minister of Dali Temple, came in. He held two memorials in his hands and knelt down to the emperor.
"Your Majesty, I have thoroughly investigated the old lady's assassination case and implicated the deposed prince, so I went to him for verification. However, after the deposed prince was confessed with blood, he became hopeless.
So he has confessed that he has known his identity for a long time. Concubine Hui secretly told him many years ago. Concubine Hui said that she would help him become the crown prince, and would also poison you and the queen to make way for him as soon as possible.
The deposed prince also said that it was Concubine Hui who accidentally discovered the identity of Yang Ziye in the Duke's mansion, so he sent dead soldiers to shoot Yang Jiye and sent dead soldiers to ambush and intercept the old lady.
The deposed prince also confessed that it was Cheng Yu, the inspector of the patrol camp, who helped him train the dead soldiers, provided weapons and conveniences, and helped him erase the traces left by the dead soldiers. "
After Master He finished speaking, he presented Prince Hua's confession to the emperor. The emperor only took a quick glance at it and vomited out a mouthful of blood.
"Now, do you have anything to say?"
The emperor threw the memorial on Concubine Hui's face and looked at the people kneeling in front of her with murderous intent.
"Father, Baokang is innocent! My mother-in-law was your favorite concubine when I was born, and she never left your side!
Moreover, the Governor was bribed by Master Ji and the deposed prince, and the mother and concubine did not know about it! "
Baokang panicked. At this moment, she could no longer care about her uncle who doted on her, let alone the deposed prince. She just wanted to protect herself.
"In the official family, all the mistakes are my concubine's fault. Baokang is innocent. She is really your daughter! There must be something wrong with the potion just now. Let's test it again!"
Concubine Hui crawled around and hugged the emperor's thigh. She no longer had the calmness of the past and cried in embarrassment.
Seeing that the emperor's IQ was about to go offline again, Ling Xiao's soul floated to the queen's side and whispered a few words in her ear.
The queen seemed to hear her son's voice, and turned around hurriedly but found that no one else came into the room. She just thought it was a heart-to-heart relationship between mother and son, and couldn't help but think carefully about what her son meant by Beishan Palace.
Then, she suddenly remembered something, walked to the emperor in two steps, and spoke softly.
"Your Majesty, what they said is wrong. In the year Baokang was born, you took your concubine and Ji Lanhui to the Beishan Palace to escape the summer heat.
You know, in the palace at that time, in addition to the people in the palace, there were also people from the palace and guards, as well as guards from the Beishan Palace! "
When Ji Lanhui heard about Beishan Palace, before she could react, the governor who had been shouting about injustice suddenly lost his voice.
He really lived in the Beishan Palace back then. He was a guard of the palace back then. He also received a sachet from the inner palace and spent a romantic night with a palace maid.
He raised his eyes in surprise, trying to see whether Ji Lanhui was the palace maid at that time?Could it be that Baokang is really his daughter?
Ji Lanhui was stunned by his gaze, and then she yelled at the governor like crazy.
"Are you out of your mind and trying to use the Nine Clans to bite me? When I was in the palace, did I ever meet any foreign men?
Moreover, with your virtue, how can you be worthy of me?
Your Majesty, everything I said is true. Please test Baokang's bloodline again. "
Concubine Hui never imagined that the person who dared to help the prince assassinate the old lady or help the prince train the dead soldiers would be an idiot, and he would dare to look at her like this at this time.
"Your Majesty, the general was indeed in the palace in Beishan that year, and he did have an affair with the girl from the first palace. However, the general has determined that the girl from the palace is definitely not the imperial concubine.
I know that I am unworthy of the divine grace and am willing to die to apologize! "
As soon as the words fell, the lieutenant kneeling on the ground banged his head on the ground with all his strength, and was about to be killed on the spot.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk... Lord Governor, you are so affectionate, it's really touching!"
