The Supreme Emperor remained silent. Even the Emperor himself did not believe what he said.
That's right. Nowadays, many people in the court and even in the world support Yu Wenhao, and they will continue to support him in the future. They love him, and even wise men and women will publish books and poems to praise Yu Wenhao's outstanding contributions during his time as prince.
But they will not be willing to accept a prince with the stain of his biological mother, especially when there are the eldest son and the legitimate son of the emperor to choose from.
The virtuous concubine killed the Queen Mother, which had already stained the title of virtuous Yu Wenhao who was canonized as the crown prince.
Yu Wenhao can be regarded as a minister and prince of the Northern Tang Dynasty, but it is difficult to be respected as a prince again.
This is the main reason why the Supreme Emperor hurriedly came to Qiankun Hall.
Only Yu Wenhao, the Supreme Emperor and his wife, and Emperor Ming Yuan were left in the palace. The rest were outside. The palace was so silent for a while that even the sound of breathing seemed to be hidden.
Yu Wenhao knelt on the ground and said: "My son and minister are not virtuous. Their virtue is not worthy of their throne. Please ask my father to depose the prince!"
Emperor Ming Yuan's eyebrows were beating sharply. At this moment, he really wanted to cut Xian Fei into pieces with a thousand knives.
It has always been the case that concubines can influence the position of crown prince. However, I have only heard of concubines using various methods to help their sons ascend to the position of crown prince. I have never seen anyone pull their own sons down.
What an appalling thing.
"Let's hide it for now. You don't have to mention this matter again!" Emperor Ming Yuan felt guilty about his son, so he could only do everything possible to save him first.
But how long can mother and child be protected as one? It is impossible to hide this.
How many eyes and ears of the emperor and ministers are in the palace?
Let’s not talk about the ministers. Let’s talk about how many people in the royal family would seize this matter and make a fuss about it?
Emperor Ming Yuan had a severe headache.
The Supreme Emperor was obviously also very angry. He spent a lot of effort to train Yu Wenhao to this day, and finally became the prince. Just when he thought he had someone to succeed him, this happened.
In helping Yu Wenhao become the crown prince, he thought about the many obstacles in the court. However, due to a group of veterans such as Chu Shoufu and Wei Taifu Xiaoyao Gong, he believed that Yu Wenhao's crown prince's position would be a little unstable at first, but would eventually be stabilized.
.
Who thinks he has a mother who cheats on his son?
Who would have thought that the virtuous concubine was so courageous that she would dare to assassinate the Queen Mother?
The Supreme Emperor continued to say solemnly: "Moreover, the cause of this matter is that the prince set fire to the Su family. Emperor, please think about what to do. If this matter is investigated, there will be many people involved."
Emperor Ming Yuan was silent, he knew, but the prince could not be blamed for this matter. Ever since he got married to the Leng family, the Su family had been causing trouble, and he could hardly help but issue an order to deal with a few of them.
The Queen Mother was silent. She had been hurt by the Concubine before, and she was at best sad and disappointed. But now after hearing the Emperor's words, she was suddenly shocked and her whole body was cold.
She no longer had any pity for the Su family in her heart. She only thought about how to keep the prince. As for the virtuous concubine, a hundred deaths would not be a pity.
The Queen Mother is not a soft-hearted person. She has been able to dominate the harem for so many years. She naturally has her cold heart. However, it is only because Concubine Xian is from the Su family that she has been blindly indulgent in these years.
The Supreme Emperor asked Yu Wenhao to go down and treat his injuries first, and then return to his residence.
Yu Wenhao felt miserable, kowtowed and left.
He knew that his mother and concubine had no chance of survival this time, and he was not attached to the position of the prince. He just felt that life had been turned upside down due to the continuous changes.
After leaving the palace, he didn't go back directly to his hometown. He didn't know how to face Yuan Qingling.
He went to Jingjingyan's house. Jingjingyan put down the wine and asked someone to make some side dishes. Yuwen Haoguang drank a few drinks without eating the dishes, and then said to Jingjingyan: "I didn't bring anyone here.
, please ask someone in the mansion to tell Lao Yuan that I am here, so as not to worry her."
Jing Jingyan nodded, went out and ordered the boy who was with him to go to Prince Chu's Mansion to report the matter.
After coming back, he looked at Yu Wenhao with a serious look on his face and asked, "What happened?"
Yu Wenhao supported the table with both hands, raised his head and smiled sadly at him, "You know that I burned down the Su family, right?"
He calmly said: "How could you not know? This matter has caused a stir in the city and everyone is talking about it. Is the Queen Mother to blame? Don't worry too much. The Queen Mother is a sensible person and will calm down after a while. The Su family
The Queen Mother has seen what Nian has done, but it is her mother's family after all, so she will be sad and angry for a while, so don't feel too bad."
Yu Wenhao took a deep breath, "I know it is inevitable that the imperial grandmother will be angry. When the Su family was burned down, I had already thought about how to get her forgiveness. However, I failed to calculate that my mother and concubine would know.
This matter."
He looked at Jing Jingyan, his eyes almost shattered, "The concubine stabbed the imperial grandmother!"
With a "clang", the wine glass in Jingyan's hand slipped and the wine splashed all over the floor. He looked at Yu Wenhao in shock and astonishment before pulling a piece of cloth to wipe the wine on his body.
Jing Jingyan picked up the cup on the ground and put the pieces aside. He was such a talkative person that he didn't know what to say for a moment.
Having been quiet and talkative in the political world for many years, I knew that the situation this time was not easy to resolve, so I simply didn’t say anything and just drank with him.
The people from the Leng Mansion went to report the letter, and Man'er reported back to Yuan Qingling. At the same time, the Ghost Shadow Guard also came to inform him of what happened in the palace.
After Yuan Qingling heard this, he just said "I understand" and entered the house.
She was sitting on a chair. The room was empty and lonely. She had just opened the door, and the cold air lingered for a while, making her hands and feet cold.
The sound of the clock was heard outside, "dang, dang, dang," it was the third watch.
This day is so long, it seems like a year has passed.
Yuan Qingling felt tired and unwilling to sleep, so she rubbed her brows. The candlelight flickered dimly, casting her shadow on the wall.
She seemed to remember that when she first came here, there were big red candles burning in Fengyi Pavilion, and the candlelight was flickering, as if it happened yesterday.
There was only one thing she feared in her heart, and that was that Lao Wu would have a problem with her.
The former Yuan Qingling made him lose the emperor's trust and made him infamous.
But now she has actually made him lose a lot. Now she doesn't know what she did wrong and why Concubine Xian hates her so much.
It is clear that they love the same person in their hearts and wish him well.
Or maybe someone like Princess An is a good person? She can see through the situation but not speak out, and can only worry secretly?
Hearing Xiao Nuomi's cry next door, the children would get up in the middle of the night to drink milk and pee, but they rarely cried.
The wet nurse was coaxing him softly, and then became quiet again.
She got on the bed, sat on the quilt, and kept watching, but he hadn't come back yet.
Are you afraid that you won't be back tonight? They don't know how to face each other.
Concubine Xian assassinated the Queen Mother, her fate was decided, and his position as prince might not be guaranteed. The reason was that he burned down the Su family. Can he bear the blame? Even if no one is responsible, will he feel better?
Yuan Qingling is familiar with history and knows that in an imperial society, the dignity of the royal family cannot be challenged, let alone the assassination of the Queen Mother.
She thought a lot in her mind. If Lao Wu and she were separated and they could no longer live together, what would she do?
