After King Yan finished speaking, the entire hall fell silent for a moment.

Wang Yizhen felt for a moment that she might have heard wrongly. Did King Yan follow the princess's script and say what he should say, or did she mishear it?

But when her eyes caught a glimpse of a smile on the corner of King Han's mouth, Wang Yizhen realized... something really happened.

Yes, there was originally going to be a vote, and there were only a few people in the royal family. They were accompanying the prince to count the votes, so how could the other princes not count their votes.

King Yan... When was King Yan bribed by King Han?

No... King Yan has actually never openly sided with the prince, but he was too young and transparent before. He has lived in the prince's east palace since he was born. Not only are he and the prince closest in blood, but they also grew up in the same place.

King Yan was only twelve or three years old when he married. He was able to learn painting and open a poetry and painting workshop all these years because the Crown Princess paid for him. King Yan has been following the Crown Prince silently, and it is also the Crown Prince's way of showing brotherly love.

A good role model, but also to live by the eyes of the Crown Princess, so the Crown Princess said that King Yan is one vote, then he is one vote. Wang Yizhen has never thought about it, King Yan can still slip away?

Originally, when King Yan finished speaking, it was Wang Yizhen who should take up the conversation, but now that King Yan had finished speaking, Wang Yi really couldn't answer the question, at least she really didn't know how to answer it, so naturally someone else took the lead.

talk.

"What do you mean?" King Han pretended to be surprised and shouted. "Brother Prince...how could he not be the eldest son? Yi'er, what do you mean?" King Han said to King Yan.

This Yi'er is probably the name of King Yan?

King Yan was suddenly silent for a few breaths when King Han asked him this question. When he raised his head again, he was no longer the submissive child he was before with his words and expressions...

"Father..." King Yan said, "Do you still remember my mother and concubine?"

Emperor Qisheng probably didn't expect that King Yan would suddenly ask such a question. Although the person looked over, he didn't speak. This is normal. Emperor Qisheng could say a few more words besides Wang Yizhen. At other times,

He was not willing to waste time talking to the children, so King Yan did not intend to really wait for his answer, and said to himself: "I heard that my mother died when I was born, because he was Li

A side branch of the family, so after I was born, I was carried to the Queen's palace and raised in front of the Queen. However, the Queen died soon... Therefore, many people in the palace said that I was a mourner.

Xing, I was born to be a mother-in-law, so I remember since I was a child that the servants around the prince brother did not dare to let me get close to the prince brother, for fear that my bad luck would spread to others, but they also did not allow me to play outside. Most of the time, I

, I just stayed in my own yard with my wet nurse, basking in the sun and watching the scenery in the sky. In fact, it was quite a good life. My brother Prince didn’t want to see me, and other people also hated me. I also tried my best not to show up in front of others.

, which is good for everyone. But one thing is that my presence in the palace is too low, and the servants in the palace often forget to bring me food. Sometimes I am really hungry, so I have to sneak to the imperial kitchen by myself.

Go begging for food... By the way, when I was 10 years old, when I ran out to steal food, I stayed outside all night. No one in the prince brother's palace noticed that I was gone..."

Wang Yizhen looked at the prince with his mouth open, and the prince also looked blank. The content in his eyes was clearly "Is there such a thing? I don't know?"

Wang Yizhen immediately felt pain on her face. Was this the slap in the face?

She also said before that the prince is kind and friendly, and that he values ​​family ties the most...

In other words, King Yan's good character of being able to read people's faces is not innate, but has been cultivated since childhood. Wang Yizhen instantly remembered King Yan. When he was caught and beaten by Li Yinian, not only did he not complain at all, but he also

Kneel down when he says it, he doesn't even have the backbone. It's because he didn't have a good life with the prince when he was a child, so he developed the cleverness to do anything to protect himself. How dare he treat the prince like this?

She said that King Yan was raised by her...

Wang Yizhen looked at King Yan, and King Yan looked at her, and then continued: "That time I stayed out all night. It was not because I was lost. I... I have been running around in the kitchen of the palace since I was a child. How could I make a mistake?

On the way to the kitchen from the East Palace, that time it was actually because I was too hungry. After I went to the kitchen to eat secretly, I sneaked into Cuiwei Palace. I have heard people talk about it before, where my mother and concubine lived.

I had never been to the palace that I presided over when I was a child. That day, I was walking around Cuiwei Palace while eating something I wanted to eat in the kitchen. I was thinking, if my mother-in-law was still alive, I would not

You know what kind of life you should live.”

King Yan said these words in an understatement, only stating the facts and not describing the psychology. But the more it is like this, the more sad it is. Think about a 10-year-old child. Even though he is a prince, he still doesn't have enough to eat every day.

, no one paid attention to it, and he ran to his mother's old palace.

Even if this is a cold palace, if there is such a person, who is crazy or crazy, he still has something to think about, but it will still be an empty palace after death.

Not to mention anyone else, Wang Yizhen even wanted to glare at the prince. How do you raise a child like this?

No, no, it has nothing to do with the prince. When Queen Li died, King Yan was just born, and the prince was only four years old. He was still young. King Yan was not well taken care of, so it’s really not the prince’s fault. And King Yan was lost when he was 10 years old.

, the prince is only 14 years old and has not yet gotten married and established a family. It will be several years before the prince's wife gets married.

King Yan also said that everything was done by the people around the prince, and the prince was unaware of it, so what happened to King Yan should not be blamed on the prince. I didn’t know that Queen Li died at that time, and she took charge of the palace affairs on her behalf.

Which concubine is it? It should be that concubine... That's not right either. You shouldn't blame or blame anyone at this time. You should be held accountable sooner or later. Now is the time to select candidates to oversee the country, but everyone knows it.

King Yan must have a purpose in saying these words, so they all continued to listen.

Then I heard King Yan say: "Concubine Li Huang had not entered the palace at that time, and Cuiwei Palace was locked. However, because no one was living there, and the trees outside the palace were not trimmed, I climbed a tree and jumped in. Although the bedroom

There was no one to clean it, but there was a bed, a quilt, and no servants on the prince's brother's side, so I was quite relaxed... so I fell asleep in the palace."

Wang Yizhen: "..." It... sounds like you are living a pretty comfortable life in your childhood?

"But in the middle of the night... I suddenly heard a noise in the palace. It was the sound of someone walking in. It turned out that someone opened the lock and sneaked in at night." King Yan said, and went to see the prince. He looked at the prince like this

, other people also went to see the prince, but Wang Yizhen found that the prince's face was pale...

King Yan said: "I hid aside and watched the prince brother come in with a palace maid."

With one sentence, everyone in the entire hall turned green, and they all wanted to kill King Yan. The prince and the maid...can we not mention such coloring things? After all, Emperor Hu Sheng was an emperor of the generation, and that hat... is wrong.

, the prince was only 11 years old at that time... In other words, it was not a peach news?

King Yan continued: "That was an old palace maid. She held the lamp carefully and took the prince brother with her. The two of them stood in the palace and said a few words. The prince brother sighed and began to burn paper on the ground. I

At that time, I still thought, it’s not the right time and I’m not in the Chaoyang Palace, why did the prince’s brother come to my mother’s palace to look for her?”

This is...

Wang Yi really felt chills running down her spine.

She seemed to remember that Lu Cairen had said before that Cuiwei was the least impressive palace in the palace. The Chaoyang Palace was second only to the queen in location and status. According to the configuration, only the imperial concubines could live there. However,

Well... no one wants to live there because people are always dying inside.

First, it was the Ji family from Jiuliang who lived there and died in childbirth, then it was Concubine De, who died in childbirth when she was giving birth to King Wei, and then it was King Yan’s biological mother, the Li family, who died in childbirth... that’s it... living here is doomed.

Could it be that she died? The latest murder case was that of the young Concubine Li Huang. After entering the palace, she did not believe in evil and lived there. As a result, you see, she died of pregnancy even though she had difficulty in childbirth.

Empress Li has been living in Chaoyang Palace since she entered the palace, and Ji lived in Cuiwei. It was only after the two had children and the outcome was decided that Chaoyang Palace was designated as the main palace. Empress Li has never lived in Cuiwei, which means that the prince

It’s the concubine who cried in Cuiwei, not Empress Li, but...Mr. Ji?

Wang Yizhen took a breath and looked at the prince. For a moment, some clues jumped out like beads in a string.

The Li family's special medicine for false pregnancy, and the Li family's manpower all over the palace. Ji's pregnancy was half a month early, but when Ji's started, Li's pregnancy was stuck three months early and she had a miscarriage. The two of them

Of the babies born together, it’s hard to say who will be born early and who will be late. Who said that the Ji family died together with the baby...

Wang Yizhen looked at the prince.

Seeing that he could no longer hide it, the prince sighed and said: "Yes, I have gone to burn paper before. That's because I have always missed my mother, so I often go to the Li family to play. What is the background of the Li family...

I knew it after all, that medicine... I also knew it. I always thought that my mother's struggle with her concubines had nothing to do with me, but I never thought that after my mother had passed away for so many years, one day I met an old palace man in the cold palace.

The old palace man told me...that Ji's dystocia was originally caused by his mother, and...that the mother not only harmed Concubine Ji, but also robbed her child. I was the legitimate son, and I had many options.

After checking, the clues were always unclear, so I felt that maybe I should burn some paper. If that was the case... then this person was my mother-in-law, otherwise... she was also an innocent person who died unjustly.

I should also pity her." The prince said. He rarely mentioned Ji in the past. When he only talked about Empress Li, she called her Queen Mother. But now when Ji is mentioned, she also calls her Concubine Ji, that is to say.

, he himself couldn't figure out which one was his biological child, and it was no wonder that the prince was cowardly. If he wanted to sit firmly in the position of crown prince, as he said before, connections were indispensable. He couldn't do without the Li family, and he

With this false identity set up by the Li family, I really can’t be tough on myself internally or externally, toward the Li family, or toward the kings...

Wang Yizhen felt for a moment that the prince's child was worse off than she was. Everyone's mother was unknown, so no wonder the prince had always been particularly kind to her.

King Yan nodded and said: "I didn't understand it at that time, but instinctively I always felt that I couldn't tell others. Later, when I grew up, I naturally understood..."

So? Wang Yizhen was at a loss. As soon as King Yan understood this, the prince suddenly became a concubine...

The problem is that this kid actually admits it... He doesn't want his eldest son, who is such a natural shield... Can't he just be a fool? For a member of the royal family, it's a bit unreasonable to reach this point.

However... Wang Yizhen saw that in addition to the shock of the whole audience, there was also a smiling King Han, and he immediately understood that the prince could not stand up to his fault.

He didn't say what happened to the old palace man in the story...

If the prince kills people after knowing the truth, then how can he have the face to claim to be benevolent?

But since the prince went to sacrifice with the palace man, and with his usual temperament, he must not have killed anyone, and he must have been properly settled. It has only been 10 years, and the old palace man is probably still there. King Han

Since he dared to arrange for King Yan to tell the story, he must have thought that the prince might cheat and deny it. So... if this link is arranged here, King Han must have found a witness?

King Han nodded, tried his best to hold back the expression that wanted to smile, and said: "It turns out... Brother Huang knows his life experience. It's a coincidence. I had my subordinates doing business outside before, and the person who ran the business together was Jiu Liang.

Yi Chen, an aunt of his family, followed the Ji family from Jiuliang to the capital. Now his father is dying and wants to know the whereabouts of this sister. I just helped to find it. Who would have thought..."

King Han has everyone in his hands, so if this clue is investigated, the prince will definitely not be able to hide it. Instead of denying it, it is better to admit it. At least his reputation as a kind and fair person can continue to be used.

This is good, Wang Yi really wants to...

The results of last night and a half are all over. This time the prince is confirmed and he is not a direct descendant, so there is only one long word...

"Father, at that time, the old palace man was not the person who served Concubine Ji closely, but was the one who served in the outer courtyard. But it was because of this that he escaped from the disaster. According to what she said, Chaoyang Palace launched the attack first, and she

She once saw someone from Chaoyang Palace hurriedly bringing a canteen into Cuiwei Palace. Later, Concubine Ji took action. However, no one else was allowed to wait in the courtyard. Later, she saw someone taking this food box out again.

The news came out that Ji's child was difficult to give birth and both mother and child died. The old palace man didn't believe it at the time, so he boldly took a look and found that there seemed to be blood stains on Concubine Ji's belly. Now the old palace man is outside the palace.

,Father, do you want to announce someone to come in?"

Damn it.
To be continued...
