In the blink of an eye, the Queen Mother's birthday came.
The emperor had issued an edict a few days ago, ordering officials of third rank and above, bachelors, princes, consorts, etc. to enter the palace with their families.
That night, all the invited people entered the palace early to wait.
As soon as it got dark, people began to take their seats in the designated seats.
Li Weiyang took a look.
The entire palace was decorated with lanterns and candles.
Everywhere in the palace was gorgeous.
Even the maids who shuttled between different seats to pour tea and hold fruit plates were all dressed up.
Wearing colorful clothes, she looks gorgeous.
After Li Weiyang took his seat, he heard the sound of drums and music, and all kinds of delicacies and wines came to the floor like flowing water.
There was a hint of ridicule on Jiang Yuelan's calm face, while Sun Yanjun whispered: "Looking at the scene in the palace, it is not affected by the earthquake at all."
Li Weiyang looked at the scene of singing and dancing, with a sneer in her eyes, but did not say a word.
In the eyes of the superiors, what did the sufferings of the common people mean?
Now that the granaries have been opened to release grain and people have been sent to provide disaster relief, the emperor can naturally celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday with peace of mind.
Coupled with the fact that he had just forced back the 500,000-strong army in Mobei, the emperor was probably in a very good mood at this time.
Who dared to step forward and blame him for being too extravagant and wasteful at this time?
The Queen Mother sat on a high seat, looking down at everyone with a smile on her face.
The emperor and empress accompanied her on one side, while the favored Concubine Lian sat with a big belly on the other side.
She looked rosy and slightly plump, but her pregnancy did not affect her beauty at all.
Li Weiyang and Concubine Lian looked at each other and nodded slightly towards her.
Concubine Lian felt relieved and accompanied the emperor gently and meekly, looking like an ordinary concubine.
It's a pity that her extraordinary beauty and high bulging belly are destined to become the focus of everyone.
At this time, the prince stood up and first raised his glass to wish the queen mother happiness, longevity and health, and then said: "This time Concubine Jiang specially prepared a gift for the queen mother, please watch it."
The Queen Mother glanced at Concubine Jiang who was smiling dignifiedly next to the Prince, and said with a smile: "Oh, I don't know what kind of gift it is."
Li Weiyang also looked at the prince and Jiang Lan.
Everyone's gifts were sent to the palace in advance, but Concubine Jiang was so original.
Such a high profile was not in line with her usual style.
She lowered her head and hid the smile on her lips.
The prince clapped his hands, and then he saw dozens of palace maids and eunuchs filing in, carrying hundreds of pots of peonies, which instantly attracted everyone in the hall to marvel.
Those green leaves are green and fresh, which make the red, purple, and yellow peony petals even more delicate.
Sitting far away, Li Weiyang can smell the fragrance of the peonies.
The fragrance is rich and almost makes people drunk. .
Everyone was amazed for a moment, and even the Ninth Princess exclaimed: "These hundreds of pots of peonies contain almost all varieties of peonies.
Some rare varieties are not even comparable to the peonies in the imperial garden.
How many peonies are there?"
Entering Kyoto must take a lot of effort.”
The emperor's face darkened slightly.
Yes, after all, it was an eventful time.
Holding this birthday banquet for the Queen Mother had been privately criticized by countless people.
However, the Queen Mother's birthday banquet coupled with the defeat of the Mobei army made him feel that he should hold a special event.
If we do it, we can completely get rid of this country's recent bad luck.
But he himself can be so extravagant, but he may not allow others to be so extravagant Concubine Jiang said softly: "Princess, I have heard for a long time that the Queen Mother likes peonies, so three years ago I gradually asked people to select some outstanding varieties and transport them to Kyoto, and then carefully nursed them, and slowly I was able to gather so many varieties.
I just want to show it to the Queen Mother if I have the opportunity."
The preparations started three years ago.
No wonder there is no news in Kyoto that the Prince's Palace is collecting peonies.

One or two pots a month is not an excessive thing, but it shows a unique filial piety.
The emperor's face soon relaxed, and the Queen Mother on the side asked: "After all, it is not the season for peonies to bloom.
How did you do it?"
Although it is spring, there are many ordinary flowers blooming.
But the peonies have not yet reached the flowering stage.
It is impossible for ordinary greenhouses to allow so many peonies to bloom.
Jiang Lan's soft face showed a trace of blush, as if she was shy, and said: "To inform the Queen Mother, I put all the peonies in the greenhouse, and then ordered the craftsmen to bake transparent glazed tiles to replace the roof, and then placed them in the greenhouse.
After raising the charcoal fire, he calculated the time when the flowers would bloom, and then increased or decreased the charcoal fire before the Queen Mother They bloom around birthdays.
The peonies in the main hall can only be displayed for half an hour at most, and then they must be withdrawn to the conservatory.
If the queen mother still wants to watch them, she can move them to the imperial garden, but they must be covered with brocade curtains.
Raise charcoal fire around so that the peonies can bloom as bright as ever despite the cold.”
Everyone couldn't help but marvel at how ingenious it was to calculate the date and state of the peonies blooming, and to increase and decrease the charcoal fire.
This Concubine Jiang really knew how to put her thoughts into it, and she had actually been doing it for the Queen Mother's liking since three years ago.
Prepare, wait until now to take it out.
Sun Yanjun whispered: "She just lost a relative not long ago, so why is she still smiling?
It's so heartless."
Li Weiyang glanced at Jiang Lan, but said: "Since she has married into the royal family, she has nothing to do with her natal family.
Even if a close relative dies, she cannot mourn, otherwise it will be disrespectful to the royal family.
Today she is here to celebrate the birthday of the Queen Mother , Naturally, you should have a smile on your face, why don't you have a sad face?
Isn't this a slap in the face of the Queen Mother?
This is why she is more patient than others. " Sun Yanjun looked at Li Weiyang in surprise, and then sighed.
Indeed, since you married into the royal family, if you wear hemp and mourn, it is tantamount to cursing the royal family.
A daughter who is usually married can still mourn for her parents, but in the Dali Dynasty, if she married a woman from the royal family, it was absolutely not allowed.
This is from a certain point of view.
In a sense, it is absolutely inhumane.
The prince smiled and said: "Concubine Jiang did put a lot of thought into it, but I heard that the seventh brother came back from Mobei this time and also brought a gift for the Queen Mother.
Why not show it to everyone?"
He clearly did it on purpose.
Tuobayu went to fight, not to pick out gifts.
How could he bring birthday gifts to the Queen Mother from Mobei?
It was clear that he deliberately made things difficult for others.
Li Weiyang raised his eyebrows.
She wanted to see, Tuoba Yu Does Bayu know how to deal with it?
At this time, Tuobayu stood up, but there was no hint of anger in his handsome face.
Instead, he smiled and said: "Concubine Jiang's kindness is really rare.
I did bring a gift, but it was too shabby compared to her kindness.
I had the nerve to take it out.”
Everyone laughed when they heard this, and the scene became lively.
If it were normal, Tuobayu would have only focused on fighting and would not have thought of preparing gifts at all.
This time, even Li Weiyang found it strange and did not know what gifts Tuobayu brought back while fighting.
Tuoba Yu smiled and said: "This time I passed by Mobei, and the Mobei people fled in a hurry, but they left behind their specialty burning wine.
This kind of wine has always been famous all over the world, but it is only enjoyed by the Mobei royal family.
This time I brought back hundreds of jars from Mobei, enough for everyone to enjoy."
Li Weiyang couldn't help but laugh.
Tuoba Yu was joking, but he was not joking.

The emperor in the stands was obviously very happy and said: "Ask someone to present it."
So Tuoba Yu ordered people to distribute the burning wine to everyone.
As soon as the wine was carried into the hall, it exuded a clear and strong fragrance, which was far superior to the fragrant peonies.
The prince's expression suddenly became a little...
Stiff, then smiled and said: "Seventh brother, I just sent everyone away with these few jars of wine.
Isn't it too casual?"
Tuoba Yu seemed to have expected that he would say this, but smiled.
The smile looked confident and very charming at the moment: "Queen Mother, this time we arrived at the border, because the people were saved from the war, I am very grateful to the protection of my father and the Queen Mother. , so I specially asked me to bring a gift and bring it all the way back to Kyoto to present it to me.”
When the emperor heard that it was a gift sent by ordinary people on the border, he immediately became interested and said: "You are so far away but you still want to send me a gift.
I don't know what it is, so why don't you bring it up together?"
Tuoba Yu had already expected that the emperor would be interested, so he clapped his hands, and everyone saw a huge iron bed being lifted up.
The entire upper part of the iron bed was disassembled, and there were dozens of fat pigs on the iron forks.
The lambs were all roasted until golden brown.
The prince sneered and said: "It is too simple to give such a gift."
The emperor glared at him coldly and said loudly: "People send goose feathers from thousands of miles away, but the courtesy is light and the affection is heavy.
Come here, bring the mutton."
The prince was robbed for no reason, but he suddenly thought that the emperor was happy for the success of the war in Mobei.
Seeing the people traveling thousands of miles to send gifts, even if it was a handful of soil, the emperor would feel that the people were grateful and respectful to him. , but he poured cold water on the emperor at this time, no wonder he was stabbed for no reason.
He looked at the emperor's cold eyes, trembled, and did not dare to say anything anymore.
The eunuch immediately cut a piece of the best meat and put it on a golden plate.
The emperor tasted it himself in full view of everyone.
Everyone was staring at the change in his expression when they heard the emperor Long Xin said happily: " This is the first time in decades that I have tasted such delicious food.
It is really delicious, so I divided the mutton.”
Soon, Li Weiyang also got a piece of roast mutton.
She never liked eating mutton because it was too tangy, but seeing that the mutton was dripping with oil and very fat, she just took a bite and was immediately surprised.
The taste was the same as that of Kyoto.
It was completely different from ordinary roasted lamb.
Not only did it not have any smell, it was also surprisingly delicious and crispy.
Judging from the gifts, what Tuoba Yu gave me didn't look as good as the blooming peonies, but the actual meaning was better than it.
Everyone present knew this.
The prince's face became gloomier because of this.
He glanced at Tuoba Zhen, but saw that he was just sitting and drinking with a calm expression, as if he was not aware of what was happening on the scene.
He felt cruel, stood up, took a step forward, and said, "Father, I have something to report."
The emperor chewed the mutton in his mouth and raised his head to look at the prince.
He didn't know why he was so cautious and his expression was so serious.
Did something bad happen?
Concubine Lian lowered her eyes slightly, as if she knew nothing about the coming danger.
Concubine Jiang sneered, looking at the people with different expressions in the venue, and finally fell on Li Weiyang's face.
I thought in my heart that when Concubine Lian was killed, many people would naturally be implicated, including Li Weiyang of course, and no one could escape.
Li Weiyang was right.
She didn't care about the deaths of those in the Jiang family at all, because they deserved to die.
When she was struggling in the Prince's Mansion, no one was willing to help her.
On the contrary, they even talked to Tuoba Zhen.
Join forces and plan something secretly.
She is not a fool and will not be led by them.

But similarly, she will not forgive Li Weiyang because this woman dares to humiliate her in person and poke her sore spot.
She will definitely , She must pay the price with blood The emperor frowned and said, "If you have anything to do, it's okay to speak up."
The prince gritted his teeth and said loudly and solemnly: "Three days ago, a woman suddenly stopped my son's ceremony and said that she had a huge grievance and wanted to ask me to redress my grievances."
The emperor's brows furrowed even more tightly.
This prince was really too ignorant.
How could he redress someone's grievances in public on such an occasion?
He glanced at the Queen Mother and saw that she also had some displeasure on her face, so he couldn't help but say: " This kind of matter will naturally be left to Jing Zhaoyin to handle.
As a prince, it is better to focus on government affairs instead of overstepping the boundaries. " When the emperor said this, he was clearly blaming the prince.
As a king, of course, you don't have to deal with all the bullshit.
It was clearly inappropriate for the prince to mention any grievances on such a grand occasion.
The Queen Mother did not get angry in public, which was already a kind of grace.
If he did not know how to praise him and continued to talk, I am afraid that both the Emperor and the Queen Mother would blame him.
But the matter had come to this point, and the Prince had no way out.
He was cruel and cruel.
He said loudly: "Of course I know that this matter should not be discussed here, but without the testimony of the emperor father, the queen mother, and all the ministers, I think Jing Zhaoyin would never have the courage to judge the case."
The emperor's face was gloomy, and the more he looked at the prince, the more he could not suppress the anger that had been suppressing in his heart.
But after hearing these words, he couldn't help but look at each other with the queen mother.
What kind of case can't even Jing Zhaoyin solve?
The Queen Mother obviously valued the Crown Prince very much.
She sighed softly and said, "Since the Crown Prince has said so, let's finish it."
The prince finally plucked up his courage and said loudly: "The woman is suing none other than the beloved Concubine Lian who is pregnant with a dragon heir."
As soon as he said this, the whole palace was shocked.
Everyone was thinking why something would happen every time at a banquet.
For this kind of royal banquet, everyone had to hold their heads high to participate.
If they were not careful, they would be in trouble.
Everyone looked at Concubine Lian, but Seeing a confused, innocent, and shocked look on her face, he said in surprise: "Your Highness, what do you mean?"
The prince looked at her coldly, and his eyes became more and more resentful when he fell on her belly: "Father, that woman claims that she is the real Leng Youlian, and her identity and birthplace are true, but the Concubine Lian in front of her, Effectively assuming her identity.”
Li Weiyang looked at the drama with cold eyes and shook her head lightly.
Concubine Lian's identity was always a problem, and one day everything would be involved.
Maybe sooner or later, but she had expected this day from the beginning.
He glanced at the opposite side, and his eyes met Tuoba Zhen's.
Tuoba Zhen looked into her eyes and smiled.
It was a mysterious and eerie smile, which was creepy to look at.
He wanted to kill her, but she lowered her eyes.
This time, he showed no mercy.
If the prince was asked to prove Concubine Lian's true identity, Concubine Lian's so-called rescue last time would become a joke.
Her ultimate purpose in coming to the emperor incognito must be to avenge the Murong family.
You don’t need to think about it to know that Zhou Dashou and the seventh prince Tuobayu are the ones who pushed Concubine Lian to the emperor’s side.
What kind of ending will be waiting for them?
And Li Weiyang, of course, can’t run away, because those people will try their best to escape.
By connecting Concubine Lian with her, they will always have a way to get Concubine Lian to tell the truth.
Concubine Lian may have had no weaknesses in the past, but now that she is pregnant, she will soon be a mother.
In order to protect her child, she will say anything.
Even if she admits that Li Weiyang is also involved in this conspiracy, this is Tuoba's real purpose.
What a cruel and heartless man.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Once he really decides to be cruel, he will put her to death.
Li Weiyang couldn't help but sigh again.
No matter how she avoided it, he would never let her go.
Because he fell in love with her and she was unwilling to obey him, he was full of hatred for her.
If you can't get it, you would rather destroy it.
Each of these royal family members is more terrifying than the last.
The Queen Mother was completely stunned.
She looked at Concubine Lian next to her who had an equally confused look on her face and said, "If she's not Leng Youlian, who could she be?"
In full view of everyone, the prince seemed to have found a kind of power, a power to defeat his opponent and put him to death.
He said loudly: "Father, do you still remember the Murong family who assassinated you?
Concubine Lian was Murong's wife.
Princess, Murong Xin" The emperor and the queen mother were both taken aback.
When they looked at Concubine Lian's face, they suddenly felt a trace of surprise and uncertainty.
Concubine Lian stood up, her face was as cold as a thick layer of ice, but two lines of tears quickly fell from her eyes, dragging them to her chin, and her eyes were filled with grief and resentment: " Your Majesty, I really don’t know where I have offended the prince, and I am so unjustly accused by him."
The emperor looked at Concubine Lian and suddenly remembered what happened yesterday.
In fact, he has not been in good health recently.
He was still in bed two days ago, with Concubine Lian waiting by his side.
Even though she was pregnant, she never wanted to take a break, let alone hand over the responsibility of taking care of him to others.
Even if he fell asleep, she liked to sit beside him and accompany him, which made him feel very happy and moved.
But when he woke up yesterday evening, he saw Concubine Lian alone with red eyes.
At that time, he couldn't help but said: "Concubine Lian, what's wrong with you?"
Concubine Lian's expression at that time was so frightened, nervous, and uneasy.
She seemed to be still deep in thought, and she actually muttered something in her mouth: "It's the prince, he is the prince."
There was a thunder in his mind.
He sat up and shouted angrily with all his strength: "What do you mean about the prince?"
Concubine Lian's expression became more and more distressed, and countless tears welled up in her eyes: "Your Majesty, I, I" "Come on, tell me, what did your prince do?"
People who are sick are always very sensitive, not to mention Concubine Lian's appearance.
He can't help but think of what the prince has done.
"Prince, no, it was the prince who was rude and I saw it.
Your Majesty, I, no, I didn't mean to see it."
Concubine Lian's lips wriggled, clumsily and stiffly.
She wanted to cover up, as if she wanted to excuse the prince.
But no matter how hard I try, I can't seem to speak.
No need to ask anymore, the emperor knew it in his heart, he said angrily: "What did that beast do?"
Concubine Lian's face became even more uneasy, but she still told everything: "The prince and Zhang Meiren, who have just entered the palace, they and their concubine just passed by by chance and accidentally saw the prince.
I am afraid that he will be jealous of me.
Your Majesty, please do not forget me."
I want to save my concubine, but I am worried that if I find out about this matter, one day the prince will kill me and silence me."
The head of the prince and Zhang Meiren's new love, Zhang Meiren, who was frail, frail and incomparably beautiful, seemed to explode.
In fact, Concubine Lian could not say that she had wronged Zhang Meiren, because Zhang did have a relationship with the prince before entering the palace, and after entering the palace, the two had occasional contact, but it was not an affair, but an affair.
The prince wanted Zhang Meiren to get information from the emperor.
To be honest, Zhang Meiren was just a spy sent by the prince to the emperor.
She was no different from an ordinary spy.
The only difference was that she was a beauty, and she was the new favorite beauty who replaced Concubine Lian when she became pregnant and could not sleep with him.
Such a woman , he actually had an affair with the prince, and Concubine Lian broke it out on the spot.

How could the emperor not be furious?
So he beat his chest with his fists, and roared angrily: "How can a beast like this be entrusted with such a big thing?"
Then he shouted outside the palace: "Come here!"
At that time, Concubine Lian cried and begged, saying: "Your Majesty, the prince is the future prince.
If he and I confront each other in public, I will not be able to provide conclusive evidence, because except for the maids beside me, no one will see it.
Regarding this matter, no one can prove for Chen Concubine that others will only think that Chen Concubine is because of Someone who is jealous of Zhang Mei will deliberately frame her, but your majesty knows about my concubine.
How could I be the kind of person who harbors resentment just because of fighting for favor?
The prince has already threatened my concubine.
If I tell your majesty even a few words, I am afraid that I will kill my concubine.
If your Majesty recruits the prince, it will be an opportunity for my concubine to die."
The emperor gradually calmed down after being furious.
Indeed, there is no evidence in this matter and it cannot convict the prince.
On the contrary, it will make him bite Concubine Lian back.
Looking at the tearful beauty in front of him, he believed her, because Concubine Lian had never done a single evil thing since entering the palace, and she did not even feel jealous.
Instead, she magnanimously recommended many beauties to the emperor.
Furthermore, She is now one of the four concubines, and she is pregnant with a dragon heir.
Little beauty Zhang cannot be her enemy.
Therefore, the prince must really be colluding with the Zhang family.
After thinking about it, the emperor did not want to change the crown prince immediately, and there was no conclusive evidence.
In addition, the Queen Mother's birthday was approaching, and nothing could happen at this time, so he finally listened to Concubine Lian and did not pursue the prince.
He just ordered people to monitor him quietly.
Looking at the beauty, he found out that there was a connection between her and the prince.
In this way, the prince's accusation became more and more solid.
Not only that, the emperor had already thought about deposing the prince, but he had not yet taken action.
Originally, the atmosphere was so good today that the emperor had almost forgotten his anger and unhappiness a few days ago, but after Concubine Lian's words, he suddenly remembered them all.
Yes, because the prince was scandalized by Concubine Lian, he was afraid that she would complain, so he tried every means to threaten her.
It seemed that this time the prince wanted to take Concubine Lian's life.
His eyes swept over the prince's face, but he changed.
It's getting colder and colder.
This son was so confused that he first had an affair with a concubine in his harem, and then wanted Concubine Lian's life.
He was really audacious.
Sun Yanjun's eyes slowly became frightened.
She grabbed Li Weiyang's hand and whispered: "What the hell is going on?"
She felt that something bad was going to happen soon.
Li Weiyang patted her hand gently and whispered: "Don't be afraid, it's okay."
Sun Yanjun looked at Li Weiyang.
He didn't know why.
Every time he saw her looking so calm and composed, he would naturally feel calmer.
Maybe the other party had this magical power that could make people feel troublesome.
She has the ability to solve it.
Li Weiyang's eyes fell on the prince, but he saw him becoming more and more energetic: "Queen Mother, please call the woman who complained to the palace."
The Queen Mother's eyes fell on the Emperor with a searching look.
The Emperor sneered and said: "Mother, since the Crown Prince is so fair, let the woman come to the palace.
I want to see how Concubine Lian is doing."
How did you steal her identity and sneak into the palace?"

Tuobayu looked at it coldly and said nothing, as if the matter had nothing to do with him.
Leng Youlian had been ordered by the prince to wait in the side hall, and was only brought up at this time.
When she got to the main hall, she saw many high-ranking officials gathered there, especially Murong Xin, who was also present.
She couldn't help but let out a low voice and fainted. .
After being woken up in a hurry, she just stood there in a daze, her face was pale, her legs were shaking, she was obviously frightened.
The Queen Mother looked at Concubine Lian and said slowly: "Concubine Lian, do you know this person?"
Concubine Lian glanced at her and couldn't help but frown and said: "She is my maid.
She stayed in the Leng family for a period of time because she was fleeing from famine.
Seeing that she was helpless, I took her in.
However, Later I became a concubine Both of her parents passed away, and the Leng family could no longer support too many servants, so I sold the house, gave her some money, and let her make a living on her own.
But I didn't expect that we would meet each other today. one day."
The prince nodded and said, "Very good.
Concubine Lian at least did not deny that she knew this girl in public.
In that case, Mrs.
Leng, please repeat what you said that day so that your majesty, the queen mother, and everyone can hear her clearly."
Leng kowtowed repeatedly and did not dare to beg for mercy.
The emperor looked at her coldly, then looked at the prince, who said: "My father and the queen mother will make the decision for you, but it doesn't matter."
Ms.
Leng lowered her head and said her lines again with a voice as light as an ant.
The prince said sternly: "Louder" Leng was startled and quickly repeated all the words he had said in the study loudly.
Tuoba Zhen sneered, Concubine Lian, Tuoba Yu, Li Weiyang, none of you can run away.
Even if Concubine Lian's guilt cannot be proven today, the seeds of doubt in the emperor's heart have been sown.
Concubine Lian was furious, pointed at Mrs.
Leng and said, "Ajie, how dare you spit on others?"
The Queen Mother stopped her and said, "Don't talk about right or wrong.
It's not too late to refute after listening."
Mrs.
Leng was so frightened by Concubine Lian that her face turned pale, and she finally finished her words.
The Queen Mother frowned, thinking about the assassination, she couldn't help but look evil.
She would become very stern and scary towards anyone who tried to harm her son.
At this moment, her face no longer had the pleasant look at all. : "Concubine Lian, what's your explanation?"
Concubine Lian's face was full of tears, with an unexpected look, and she defended: "Queen Mother, this woman's real name is Ajie, and she is the maid next to me.
However, after I entered the palace, she once tried to get along with me. , but because of the strict palace restrictions, I was unable to do so.
I only learned about this matter recently when I heard it mentioned by Wang Jin, the chief eunuch in the palace.
If the Queen Mother does not believe it, you can go and investigate to see if I am lying. " The prince was stunned.
When did Leng actually come to the palace gate to look for Concubine Lian and was refused to look at Leng?
However, when he saw a guilty look on her face, he couldn't help but feel upset secretly.
It seemed that this Women have to look forward to Shu, and want to be like Concubine Lian.
He first tried to blackmail, but failed to see Concubine Lian, and then he approached Tuoba Zhen.
He couldn't help feeling a little uneasy, and said quickly: "Concubine Lian, how do you know that she is here to get attached to you?
It may not be her who knows You assumed her identity and just wanted to find out what happened."
Concubine Lian hurriedly said: "The Queen Mother clearly knows that my concubine was originally from a poor background, but once she became rich and powerful, this girl was not allowed to be attached to her, so she held a grudge.
She was also bewitched by the prince for some reason, so she confused right and wrong and made evil remarks.
She If you do, you won’t be able to win people’s trust at all.”
Leng Shi immediately defended: "As the princess of the Murong family, Concubine Lian was the princess of the Murong family.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
From her food expenses to her temperament and habits, her slaves knew everything.
If the Queen Mother didn't believe it, she could have carefully interrogated her about many things and even kept them in custody.
Your Majesty doesn’t even know” Concubine Lian immediately sneered and said: "Of course you know my living habits very well, I'm afraid you even know exactly where the birthmarks on my body are, but this is all because you have been around me and know what's weird about these.
"She seemed so anxious and anxious that she even forgot to call herself.
Seeing this in the eyes of the prince, he couldn't help but feel happy.
He vaguely felt that Concubine Lian was driven to a dead end by him and immediately said loudly: "Father, what this Leng said is definitely not nonsense.
According to what she said, Concubine Lian It was Princess Murong.
Before her death, her father once said loudly that even if only one daughter of the Murong family was left, the Tuoba family would be destroyed.
That's why she assumed the identity of Leng Youlian, especially The real purpose of coming to the palace to accompany you, my father, is to destroy our country.
If my father doesn’t believe it, Lady Leng has already said that there is a seven-star dark lotus symbol on Concubine Lian’s waist, which is the royal family of the Murong family.
Emblem, even though Murong Xin entered the palace, she will never remove the emblem, because only a special potion can be used to make the emblem appear.
If the father and the Queen Mother don't believe it, they can check it."
Concubine Lian's face turned pale, and she almost burst into tears: "Your Majesty, you know exactly why the prince framed me.
If you don't believe me, you might as well let me bump into me and die in front of the palace."
As she said that, she stood up.
Just when the emperor was about to speak, the Queen Mother made a gesture.
The female officer next to her immediately stopped her.
The Queen Mother frowned and said, "What are you doing?
Others don't know the truth, so they just think you are doing this."
"Those who committed suicide out of fear of sin" Zhou Dashou stood up at this time and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Concubine Lian is a fairy who was entrusted with a mortal body by heaven and was sent to your majesty by the emperor of heaven.
Now she has been framed inexplicably.
She has really suffered a great deal.
I’m sorry, since they keep saying that Concubine Lian is a remnant of the Murong royal family, why not ask the female officer to step back and conduct a thorough inspection to see if there is any way to make Concubine Lian’s identity known to the world.”
The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows, looked at Concubine Lian and said, "What do you think?"
Concubine Lian no longer sought death and survival, but she said with tears: "I am willing to give it a try to prove my innocence."
After Concubine Lian followed the female officer to the screen, the imperial doctor also followed in.
If there is really any invisible mark, The imperial doctor naturally has a way to make it appear.
But when Tuoba Zhen saw Concubine Lian agreeing to check so simply, his face changed slightly and he couldn't help but look at Li Weiyang opposite, with a trace of inquiry in his eyes.
Could it be that the other party had already been prepared?
Li Weiyang smiled slightly at him, but turned away.
At this point, I really have to thank Jiang Yuelan for reporting the news in advance.
If he hadn't told Concubine Lian to find a way to remove the mark on her waist in advance, today's matter would have been really troublesome.
The royal families of various countries have more or less unknown habits.
For example, the Murong family has all their children tattooed with seven-star lotus tattoos on secret parts of their bodies.
After using a potion, they can reveal themselves.
If Concubine Lotus was caught on the spot today, If you stay, everything will be irreversible.
Sure enough, when Concubine Lian came out, the imperial doctor also said loudly: "Reporting to Your Majesty, Concubine Lian does not have the so-called Seven-Star Dark Lotus mark on her body."
As soon as these words came out, not to mention Mrs.
Leng, even the prince's face changed, becoming livid, and then pale.
Afterwards, Tuoba Yu stood up and said loudly: "The prince has a witness, but the testimony of this witness is really confusing and seems to be concealing something.
Furthermore, there is no Murong imperial mark on Concubine Lian at all.
Which one is true or false?
It’s hard to say.”
The prince raised his head.
Whether it was due to a mistake or anger, his eyes were already red and he was about to have a seizure.

Tuoba Zhen hurriedly stopped his gaze and said first, "I wonder what you think, Seventh Brother?"
Tuoba Yu's face was handsome and cold: "If the Queen Mother still has doubts, we will naturally have witnesses."
The Queen Mother snorted coldly and said, "Okay, pass it on again."
The two witnesses brought this time were surprising.
The eldest one was a boy, about seven or eight years old, and the other was a girl, about four or five years old.
She held on to the boy's hand tightly, with a pair of bright black eyes full of panic.
The people escorting them were tall palace guards, which made them appear even weaker.
When Leng saw it, her face immediately turned pale, and she started to cry and ran over, but she was grabbed by the guard on the side: "How can you be rude in front of His Majesty?"
Mrs.
Leng gave up.
She could only lie on the ground and stare at her two little children.
She tried her best to pretend that nothing had happened, but her tears kept falling.
The Queen Mother ordered Leng to be silent and said: "Seventh Prince, what do you mean?"
Tuoba Yu replied: "Calling this witness is to prove that the woman who testified about Concubine Lian's identity is actually lying.
If you don't believe it, the Queen Mother can ask these two children."
In fact, when he saw these two children, Tuoba Zhen's expression suddenly changed and turned pale.
When he originally tried every means to find Mrs.
Leng, he couldn't persuade her to come forward and testify as he said.
Because Mrs.
Leng is just a short-sighted woman and has no lofty ideals.
She only hopes to provide for her whole family.
In order to make her agree, Tuoba Zhen promised her a huge sum of money that she would never earn in her lifetime.
With this money, she, her husband who was a junior officer, and their children would never suffer from him again.
Lure her to come to the Prince's Mansion, because she is not good at words, and even find someone to help her organize her lines and ask her to recite them, so that she can say everything step by step in front of His Majesty.
Although it is the truth, it is indeed the truth after being modified by Tuoba Zhen.
But Leng was not stupid after all.
Following Murong Xin, she naturally knew that these royal people had better turn their backs and be ruthless, so she kept a secret and asked her husband to hide the children secretly, even no matter how Tuoba Zhen asked.
They refused to disclose their whereabouts for fear that they would fall into the hands of Tuoba Zhen, who would then use the child to threaten him as a witness and refuse to pay the promised heavy sum.
It can be said that Mrs.
Leng still has a plan, and she knows not to trust the person in front of her too much.
But unfortunately, she underestimated Tuoba Zhen, and soon he sent someone to find the two children.
At this moment, Tuoba Zhen, who had calculated everything, had his fingers trembling slightly.
While he clenched the wine glass, a cold look appeared in his eyes.
He was nervous.
Every time he was nervous, his lips would tremble slightly, but at the same time, the smile on his face would become more and more calm.
Li Weiyang sneered.
It seemed that he knew what was happening.
Sure enough, I heard Tuoba Yu say in a cold voice: "A Ming, A Yu, tell your mothers what happened and where your father went."
Ayu cried loudly, and Amin's eyes showed pain, and big tears flowed down.
He cried loudly to Leng: "Mom, I ordered someone to kill me.
It's this brother I ordered to kill."
Saved my sister and me."
He was young but spoke very smartly.
Although he was choked with sobs, he spoke very clearly.
It couldn't be clearer.

Leng's expression became extremely frightened at this moment.
She suddenly looked at Tuoba Zhen, because she had realized what the other party had done, and that the other party was going to hunt down her husband.
He was not with the children, or he wanted to catch them and control them to prevent him from committing any betrayal, but it resulted in the death of his husband.
Leng's guess was right.
Tuoba Zhen's original purpose was to seize her family and take the opportunity to control her firmly.
Of course, it was also to avoid future troubles afterwards, but the people he sent were Tuobayu discovered it early.
In order not to reveal the news, his people killed him first.
Leng's husband and children disappeared into the woods.
Tuoba Zhen originally thought that these two children were dead, but he did not expect that the other party actually found these two fateful children from the hands of the hunter.
How could it be possible?
Why are these two children still alive and even in Tuobayu's hands?
Tuobayu scolded sternly: "Don't you understand?
The person who paid you to frame Concubine Lian behind the scenes wanted to kill your husband and children to silence you.
Now, do you still want to cover up the evidence of his crime?"
Madam Leng was startled, her face extremely panicked, seeing her two children almost fainting from pain, she subconsciously raised her head and glanced at Concubine Lian, only to see a few tears in her eyes.
Madam Leng thought of how Murong Xin treated her.
She thought of her kindness and care that she had betrayed her old master because of gold and silver, and then her husband was killed because of her greed.
She couldn't help but feel sad and burst into tears.
Her cries were heard all over the hall, and the shrill sound was unbearable to hear.
Li Weiyang shook her head gently.
Concubine Lian did not murder Leng's parents.
On the contrary, she quietly picked them up and raised them.
But how did Leng repay her?
Such a person's heart is really frightening.
If Li Minde had not discovered the traces of these two children earlier and delivered them to Tuoyu Yu in time, even these two children would have been killed by Tuoba Zhen now.
After Tuoba Zhen got rid of Concubine Lian, she had no intention of keeping Leng.
Not to mention him, even the emperor would not keep Leng.
She was already doomed to die, but she was blinded by money. , with a little cleverness, he actually wanted to discuss business with Tuoba Zhen The whole hall was silent, and the Leng family suddenly screamed: "It was the third prince who bribed me to give false testimony.
He gave me one hundred taels of gold and made up those words for me to say that he did everything." of":
