When Princess Jiahe heard this, her eyes filled with tears: "My daughter is not a legitimate princess, so the queen can just scold her, but what about the emperor brother? The emperor is your eldest son and the emperor of our Zhou Dynasty, but the queen is like this Regarding him, has the queen mother forgotten that the emperor was poisoned and stayed in bed for many years in order to protect someone from the arrow? "
Princess Jiahe looked sad: "It's because of you. The emperor fell to that point in order to save his mother. He didn't even care about his own life for you. Knowing that you care about the third brother, how could the emperor hurt him?"
Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother turned her head and looked at Princess Jiahe, her eyes full of fierceness. She never expected that the concubine who had been obedient and obedient in front of her would dare to provoke her in public today.
Without saying a word, the Queen Mother stepped forward to slap Princess Jiahe, but the Emperor blocked her with his hand.
"Mother, please calm down. Jiahe is young, so don't be as knowledgeable as her." The emperor said softly.
"You don't need to be pretentious here. You just hate the Ai family for refusing to return the power to you, so you want to kill the Ai family's son and make the Ai family live in pain for the rest of their lives. The Ai family tells you that if you dream, if Hui If your son is gone, you will all die, and everyone in the paddock today will be buried with him." The Queen Mother looked crazy.
She finally had a son like King Wei, and she had raised him like an eyeball for nearly twenty years. She had coaxed him to follow him since she was a child, wishing to give him the best in the world. Her son was her lifeblood.
Now that there is no news of her son falling off a cliff, the situation is very dangerous, and the Queen Mother is already on the verge of collapse, so she naturally has no worries about what she says.
"Mother, I am the legitimate emperor of this great Zhou Dynasty. If I really want to take back my power, I can sue the world. Why should I use those means to compete with you? It doesn't matter, my mother has misunderstood my son. Don't get angry. , Third brother will be fine, cough cough cough..." The emperor seemed to be in a hurry, he started coughing before he finished speaking, and was still a little out of breath.
At this time, the emperor perfectly displayed the image of a filial son who had been wronged. He acted so skillfully that everyone present was moved and felt that the Queen Mother had gone too far.
How can there be such a mother in this world?
"Mother, my daughter knows that you have always been partial to your third brother, but the emperor is also your biological son. Do you have to force the emperor to get sick?" Princess Jiahe said loudly.
"You bastard, why don't you shut up Yijia!" The Queen Mother was so angry that she took off the phoenix hairpin from her head and smashed it into Princess Jiahe's face.
Meng Shu had quick eyes and quick hands, and reached out to take it.
Princess Jiahe pretended to be very scared and took Meng Shu to hide behind the emperor.
At this moment, Meng Shu's eldest brother Meng Yanxing came over with someone.
"To report to the Emperor and the Queen Mother, His Royal Highness the King of Wei has been found. His Highness was blessed with great fortune. When he fell from the cliff, he was blocked by several trees on the cliff, and finally hung on a big tree. Although the person fainted and has not yet woken up, he only suffered some minor injuries, which were all scratched by branches. The wounds were not deep. The imperial doctor has examined him and there is no danger to his life. "
"Where are the people?" the Queen Mother asked tremblingly.
"It has been carried up and is right behind." Meng Yanxing reported quickly.
The Queen Mother heard this and ran out immediately without saying a word.
"You can come with me and have a look." The emperor sighed.
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is so partial to the King of Wei and does not take you as the king of the country seriously. It is really not suitable for you to continue to hold power. I sincerely ask the Emperor to take back the government and order the Queen Mother to live her life in Taikang Palace." Wang Zhengqian He stepped forward and said loudly.
"Please, Your Majesty, take back your power." Several more officials knelt down and said in unison.
"We will discuss this matter another day. Let's go see King Wei first." The emperor waved his hand.
"Your Majesty, you are the king of a country. Your dragon body is fine and you should rule the world!" Wang Zhengqian said loudly.
"I know that Wang Aiqing is loyal and patriotic, but... my body has been broken for a long time. Even if I am properly nursed back to health now, I will not be able to live a long life, let alone have children of my own. Before the heir to the throne is determined, I will not be able to live for a long time." Let the Queen Mother come to court!" the emperor said helplessly.
After everyone heard what he said, they didn't dare to say anything to persuade him.
In fact, everyone has their own little calculations in mind, including Wang Zhengqian who is now persuading the emperor to take back his power.
Not to mention that this power has been in the hands of the Queen Mother for many years. If the emperor wants to take it back just because of today's incident, he will definitely not be able to do it. It may even lead to changes in the palace and chaos in the capital.
Furthermore, the emperor was in poor health and had previously issued a decree to select one of his younger brother's sons to inherit the throne. As the uncle of the fifth prince, Wang Zhengqian certainly hoped that his nephew would get this opportunity.
It's a pity that the fifth prince who was canonized as King of Jin has not yet been married and has no children.
Of course, the emperor's three brothers are still childless.
It doesn't matter if he doesn't have a son, the emperor can choose one of the three brothers to inherit the throne.
Originally, King Wei had the best chance, but judging from the Queen Mother's attitude towards the emperor, it might be King Liang or King Jin who will inherit the throne in the end.
Wang Zhengqian just said these words, but he was actually trying to sow discord between the mother and son of the Queen Mother and the Emperor.
What he didn't know was that the Queen Mother and the Emperor were not really mother and son, and there was no need for him to provoke them. The two had already become incompatible with each other.
The Queen Mother was sure that King Wei had been frightened and fainted during the fall, and was only slightly injured. She finally breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly asked people to carry King Wei, and took him out of the deer paddock overnight, planning to take him to her Taikang Palace to recuperate. .
With her heart and eyes full of the King of Wei, she had long forgotten about the Emperor and did not even say a word to comfort him.
Not to mention appeasing the courtiers.
The emperor seemed to have been used to it for a long time. After the Queen Mother left with King Wei, he comforted the ministers and then returned to the palace to rest.
Princess Jiahe was particularly excited. After returning to her bedroom, she took Meng Shu's hand and said, "Sister Meng, how did I perform today?"
"Very good!" Meng Shu smiled.
"If Sister Meng hadn't reminded me to cooperate with the Emperor's brother, I probably wouldn't have dared to say those words in front of the Queen Mother, but...the Queen Mother went too far. Even if the Emperor's brother is not her biological son, at least he was raised by her. She didn't give him any face by blaming him today. I'm afraid there will be rumors outside that he is not her biological child. I..."
Princess Jiahe suddenly covered her mouth.
It's over, it's over, she said everything that should be said and shouldn't be said.
Apart from the few confidants around the Emperor's brother, she was the only one who knew that the Emperor's brother was not the Queen Mother's biological child.
Although there have been rumors outside for a long time, rumors are just rumors after all, and nothing can be done without confirmation, but now she spilled the beans in front of Sister Meng.
Although Sister Meng is one of our own and the emperor's favorite, it doesn't matter if I tell her about it, but the key point is - why did she let it slip?
