Chapter 164: The witch turns against the enemy in battle
Everyone's reaction made Ma even more satisfied and proud, and then she glanced at Yao Wanyi.
The other party understood, stood up from his seat, walked to her side and knelt down: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, your Majesty, what the Second Princess and the Second Princess said is true.
Sister Ma came to me that day and said that she had something to decide about, and since we were always the best, she wanted to discuss it with me.
I didn't dare to believe it at first, but when I called those two people up and asked them, I couldn't help but believe it.
I thought that this matter is really not a trivial matter and cannot be concealed any longer, so I took advantage of today to enter the palace and tell the matter. Please make the decision, the Emperor and the Queen!"
"Queen, do you know about this matter?" the emperor asked the queen.
"I don't know anything about it." The queen shook her head.
After hearing this, the emperor nodded and said, "You two are so sure of your words, I would like to hear what the fifth prince and concubine has to say."
From beginning to end, everyone was secretly sizing up Lan Ning. After hearing what the emperor said, they all turned their eyes towards her.
Lan Ning did not panic and remained dignified and calm, as did Concubine Fu.
"Back to the Emperor and Queen, I don't know how this came out, but it is really a rumor." Lan Ning stepped forward and knelt down, "I only have this one child, who is my biological child. He held his breath for a long time when he was born.
Fortunately, he was rescued. There is no replacement."
"You are obviously making excuses! Of course you dare not admit such a serious crime." Ma glared at Lan Ning and said, "Let me ask you, do you dare to confront me?"
"I also want to know who is slandering me and slandering the royal family." Lan Ning looked directly at her without evading her eyes at all.
However, in the eyes of Ma and Yao, her expression was nothing more than a strong-willed look.
However, the queen vaguely sensed that something was wrong. Based on her understanding of Concubine Fu and Lan Ning, she would not do such a thing.
Ma Feiyan and Yao Wanyi killed them first and then reported them, without even informing themselves.
Now in full public view, how can we ignore it?
As the saying goes, the arrow is on the string and must be fired.
"I have brought the hostages, and I would like to ask the emperor to issue an order to announce the entry of these two people." Ma couldn't wait in her heart. She wanted to vent all the resentment she had since the miscarriage today and pay it back in multiples!<
/p>
"Then come in. I also want to know what's going on." The emperor knew that today's banquet would not be possible.
He is impartial in his heart now. When the time comes, he will have to look at the witnesses, testimonies and evidence.
Then Hu Laoba and Gui Pozi were brought in.
"The common man's name is Hu Laoba, and he used to be a servant in the Fifth Prince's Mansion.
Last month, because I offended the housekeeper, he whipped me with a horse whip, tied me up tightly, and threw me in an empty room.
It was at this time that I heard two women talking outside..."
Hu Laoba told the truth what he heard, and deliberately claimed credit: "The villain thinks that they dare to bully me like this, and I feel very unfair in my heart.
Even if I am as scary as I am, I still know how to be loyal to you. As your majesty’s close relatives, how could they do such a heartless thing?!
Therefore, the common people went to the Second Prince's Mansion, thinking that other ministers might not have the courage to tell the matter."
"That mother-in-law, were you the one who delivered the baby to the fifth prince's concubine?" The emperor saw that the mother-in-law had an ugly birth, and felt strange why he wanted to find such an unworthy person to deliver the baby.
"Replying to the emperor, it was a commoner woman who gave birth to the fifth prince's concubine." The ghost woman knew that she looked ugly, so she kept her head down as much as possible.
"So is what this person just said true?" the emperor asked again.
"He is obviously talking nonsense! There is no such thing at all." The ghost woman said loudly.
"You..."
"You!"
Hu Laoba and Ma pointed at the ghost woman almost at the same time.
"Didn't you keep saying this before?!" Ma's eyes were filled with fire, and he really wanted to kill the ghost woman with a knife. "Who allowed you to go to the imperial court and change your confession? But was someone coercing you just now?"
"The second princess, the common woman has long said that there is nothing to replace the emperor's grandson. But no matter what I say, you just don't believe it. You are threatening and intimidating, and you want to break my old bones and throw them to the
Go to the mass graves.
I am a lonely old lady with no money and no power. I dare not show off to you, so I can only follow your advice." The ghost lady was bitter and helpless.
"You're talking nonsense! You're such a mouthful! You're an old beggar who has been stabbed a thousand times!" Ma was so angry that she cursed indiscriminately.
"Shut up! What kind of decency is it to say obscene words in front of the emperor?!" the queen shouted sternly.
"Your Majesty, my empress! I really didn't force her! She said it well in my house at that time, and that's what happened.
I also repeatedly warned her that she must tell the truth. She swore and swore that everything she said was true.
Lan Ning's children were indeed exchanged, and they had already prepared them, just in case.
I deliberately found such an inconspicuous product and asked her to buy a newborn baby boy in the slums. She bought it for five taels of silver.
At that time, no matter whether the baby is a girl or stillborn, this child will be used as a replacement.
I swear on my life, if I tell a lie, I will be struck by lightning!" Now Ma was angry, angry, and panicked. She could only swear, besides repeatedly emphasizing that this woman was lying.
"I will swear that old woman! If I really help the fifth prince to replace the child, I will be covered in boils and eaten by maggots and die!
In fact, I was coerced by the second princess and had to pretend to submit.
But in front of the Holy Emperor and the Queen, how can I dare to lie again and slander the royal bloodline?
True gold is not afraid of fire, and black and white cannot be reversed. Your Majesty, just ask someone to check to see whose child I bought and where I threw the dead child."
Hearing what she said, Ma's heart became even more uncertain.
What she originally planned was that as long as this woman bit her to death and refused to let go, the emperor would naturally send someone to investigate.
Then all the truth will be revealed to the world.
She herself did not conduct research carefully, not because she was unwilling to do it, but because she was afraid of alerting others and being discovered by the Fifth Prince's people.
Unexpectedly, this mother-in-law changed her words on the spot and refused to admit anything.
If this woman doesn’t admit it, Hu Laoba’s testimony will be even more useless.
Firstly, he most likely made it up himself. Secondly, even if he heard someone say it, it was just hearsay. How could he take it seriously?
As the saying goes, dew has no seed, and gossip has no trace. If you want to take this thing seriously, you will be exhausted, and you will not be able to find out the reason.
"Then mother-in-law, which of your words is true and which is false?" The queen frowned, "You said that you were coerced by the second princess, but did anyone else coerce you?
Your Majesty, my concubine is willing to torture this woman, otherwise it will be difficult to tell whether what she said is true."
The queen's words made Ma's heart suddenly change. This hateful woman really deserves to be beaten, otherwise she would just talk nonsense and there would be no accuracy at all.
