However, it is a matter of concern to the queen and the prince and heirs, and it cannot be convicted by one maid and two eunuchs.
But what if you were caught in bed?
When Ming Jin arrived at the Queen's Kunning Palace without haste, hanging behind her, it was probably because no one dared to stand in front of her. It was also possible that other people were extremely afraid and wished they had a reason to leave, so instead, they looked like
I want to give her a look.
This scene ahead.
The queen with her pregnant belly and the adulterer caught there.
Very funny and incredible.
But indeed, they were lying on the same bed, disheveled.
is it possible?
A scene that would never happen appeared in front of everyone.
Even if everyone thinks that someone must be planning this, is it possible for the pregnant queen and the first son of Zhao Kingdom?
Ming Jin looked at Su Shenzhi coldly, looking at Su Shenzhi's expression and eyes that suddenly changed after he woke up.
She raised her eyebrows.
Ah, true and false.
Maybe it's like that secret letter.
Real content, fake letter.
Therefore, Mr. Su is really ambitious and wants the son of the middle palace to bring his bloodline.
But what was even more terrifying was that in front of everyone, the pale-faced Emperor Zhong walked over and hugged the queen who was also frightened and even eager to cry out for injustice.
He comforted his queen.
"Don't be afraid, I trust you. In order to clear your grievances, Queen, you may have to give birth to Gu's child in a few days. Then just test its bloodline to see if it is Gu's or Su Aiqing's."
The queen and Su Shenzhi both knelt down.
The Qin family members also knelt down and cried.
The civil and military ministers all wanted to push it aside, but the king did not speak, and they did not dare to retreat. Su Shen's keenness was still there, and he suddenly looked at Ming Jin.
As soon as he saw it, the queen reacted and asked Mingjin, "Xie Mingjin, I have no enmity with you, why did you harm me like this! Could it be that in order to enter the palace, you actually..."
Chu Lanai and Li Baiyi frowned together.
Everyone looked at Ming Jin, and the people of the Qin family got the idea and immediately cried out that they were wronged and accused the Xie family of conspiracy.
Ming Jin, who was leaning on the pillar, glanced at them and said calmly: "The Queen is too worried. Since the founding of the country, the Xie family has ancestral precepts and daughters of the Xie family do not enter the palace."
She didn't say it explicitly, but many ministers knew it well.
If Xie Mingjin really wants to enter the palace, the position of queen will have nothing to do with the Qin family.
Ming Jin didn't say much, and just glanced at the queen lightly. The queen saw indifference in her eyes, as if she was looking at a ruined chess piece.
As for whether this chess piece was destroyed by her... the queen actually couldn't understand.
This method does not seem to come from Xie Mingjin, and the other party has never interfered with the harem. At least she has controlled the harem for so many years, and she has not found out anything about the manpower of the Xie family and Xie Mingjin.
But now, only by grabbing Xie Mingjin can the disadvantage be restored.
It's a pity that Ming Jin didn't answer the question and pushed it back without saying much, because this was Emperor Zhong's game.
She felt that with this person's skills, he could probably wipe out both the Queen and Su Shen.
So she left.
Once Xie Mingjin left, other officials did not want to stay.
Speaking of which, many people have noticed something strange - today's Emperor Zhong seems to be defending, but in fact...
Taifu Yan seemed to glance at Ming Jin's leaving figure inadvertently, his eyes dim.
——————
In fact, the queen had no chance to give birth to the child.
As Ming Jin guessed, the fact that there was only one prince in the palace made all the emperor's women feel pregnant, but they couldn't get pregnant no matter what, not even a boy or a girl, and how could they be willing to do so as they aged.
Especially the queen.
And Su Shenzhi, the No. 1 son of the Zhao Kingdom, whether he was skinny or talented, was enough to arouse endless enthusiasm in the lonely queen, so she pushed him back and forth, secretly plotting against Chen Cang.
One child just meets the common needs of two people.
She needs a child to bring the power of the country to the Qin family, just like the blood of the Qin family in Emperor Zhong has made the Qin family prosperous for many years.
And Su Shenzhi... is the expansion of ambition.
After he was sure to deal with Xie Yuan, he had already secured his position as the most powerful official in the Zhao Kingdom, but he was not satisfied with this, he wanted to make himself the master of the world.
then...
These are just speculations, but soon because the power fell to Zhuang Wuxue while the head of the Overwatch Council was under investigation, and Zhuang Wuxue and the Twelve Supervisors were investigating, the entire harem was thoroughly dug up, including many old things.
They were all dug out, and in the end all the witnesses and physical evidence were available.
Before the child was even born, the queen was quietly disposed of during the first winter snowfall of the year in Zhao State.
Then there was Su Shenzhi, but he didn't die, he was just locked up.
Due to Dazai's relationship, the Su family is currently closed under martial law, but the people related to the Qin family and the Su family are in ruins.
I don’t know how many families have been confiscated and exterminated.
This winter, a bunch of people were beheaded every day at Meridian Gate, covered in blood.
The Qin family, the Su family, Xiao Ji and others, the head of the Supervisory Yuan, the King of Banquets...
Probably because of his noble status, King Yan was deprived of everything and demoted to a commoner. I heard that on the day he was released from prison, even his rich clothes were stripped off and replaced with rough cloth. He lost a lot of weight and had a smile on his face.
He was ruthless, but he couldn't see anyone who came to pick him up.
I heard that all the concubines in his mansion have run away for fear of being implicated. As for the servants who have long since taken away the property...
But King Yan was not a fool. He knew that he had many enemies, so he quickly sneaked into the crowd. An hour later, he rode out of the capital, hoping to return to his fief, get some property, and plan to make a comeback in the future.
But he didn't expect that he had just rode a horse across the mountain road...
A straw rope covered by fallen leaves on the ground blocked the horse directly. He flew out from the horse and fell to the ground. Before he could react, he saw some wild men and women running out of the forest full of food, each with their
Kitchen knife and hoe.
Nearly a hundred people.
On the hill, Ming Jin, who was wearing a long gown, watched quietly as the King of Banquet was tortured and killed by these poor people who had tragically killed their young daughter and had nowhere to turn to him.
I don’t know how long it took, until they burst into tears and had enough fun, throwing the bones and corpses of the King of Banquets into the forest to feed the wild animals.
Ming Jin turned around and saw Yan Zhen looking at her not far away.
Eyes facing each other.
Ming Jin was not surprised.
Because the other party's martial arts skills were far inferior to hers, she naturally couldn't hide her insight.
"Why are you outside in such a cold weather?" Ming Jin didn't feel uncomfortable at all. Instead, he walked on the mountain road covered with light snow and asked Yan Zhen with a smile.
"Sister Mingrong is very worried about you."
Ming Jin paused slightly, "You called her sister?"
Yan Zhen turned her face away and said, "I have extreme partiality and hatred for you, but not for her. She deserves my respect."
She admitted that she was harsh to Ming Jin, but it seemed to be a kind of preference. She valued him so much that it was difficult to let go.
Just like how harsh she was to Xie Yuan.
Now that she is in it, she understands that not everyone can become a saint.
"That's good. You are very serious now, so you should be able to chat with her."
Ming Jin teased her casually. When he passed by Yan Zhen, he saw the latter grabbing her sleeve and asking in a trembling voice: "What else will you do next?"
Ming Jin lowered his head and looked at his sleeves, then raised his eyes to look at her, with gentle eyes, "Are you scared? Afraid that I would be so cruel."
"No, I just want to know what you need to pay?"
"Some things always have a reason. If he hadn't deliberately called Ming Rong over, Ming Rong would not have seen me kill Xie Juan, nor would she have lost her child."
Ming Jin did not answer Yan Zhen's question, but instead explained to himself: "I used to think that the family has been doing good deeds for hundreds of years. Later I found out... The King of Hell wants you to die at the third watch and will not allow you to be left until the fifth watch."
"Actually, it doesn't matter whether you are a good person or a bad person."
Yan Zhen watched her leave, her back vaguely blending into the vast white snow under the sky.
At that moment, she realized that she had failed Xie Mingrong.
No one, no one in this world can stop Xie Mingjin.
——————
In the spring of the following year, three months after the Qin family was exterminated, on what was considered the warmest and brightest day among the people, the palace officials and masters of ceremonies, escorted by the imperial army, marched through the palace city and through the streets of the city.
, stopped in front of the gate of Xie's family under the curiosity of the bureaucrats, clans and people.
Directly declare the decree to marry Xie Mingjin on behalf of the king.
After the bad luck the Xie family had suffered at the end of last year, they thought it was another catastrophic disaster. However, when they heard this, the expressions of Xie Li and others changed.
Daughters of the Xie family do not enter the palace.
Doesn’t Emperor Zhong know?
Do you know that you still have to do this?
At this time, there was chaos in the court.
In front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, Emperor Zhong proposed the late emperor's will to marry Xie Mingjin.
The government and the public were shocked, and civil servants were full of remonstrances, but Emperor Zhong gave two reasons.
First, the late emperor left a secret edict, which you can verify.
Second...
"The imperial grandfather gave Xie Mingjin the Qingque Order in his early years, and it was also mentioned in the secret edict. Since the time of Taizu, our Zhao Kingdom has had the Qinglong Qingque as the order for the marriage of the two masters. And if the kings of the past dynasties gave the Qingque Order, they would get the order.
Observe the etiquette of the emperor and empress, be equal to the etiquette system, and do not favor concubines and destroy their wives. Although because of this rule, the Qingque Order was rarely given later, but since the emperor gave it to Xie Mingjin, it shows that he believes that she is qualified to be our Zhaoguo
The second Qingque Yuanque in three hundred years."
"Do you think Taizu and Grandpa Huang are confused?"
"Still feel lonely and unworthy of Xie Mingjin?"
For the first time, the Zhao Kingdom noticed that Emperor Zhong was so powerful.
Not only is he eloquent, but he is also domineering.
Perhaps they should have understood a long time ago that this is the real Emperor Zhong after the blood has flowed like a river in the past three months.
Domineering strength under forbearance, aggression under strength.
Now, no one in the palace has the ability to compete with him.
Dazai is still in a coma and cannot leave the court, most of the Su family has been killed, the Qin family and other relatives have been wiped out, Xiao Ji and others have colluded with foreign enemies and been wiped out, even the Xie family...Xie Yuan is gone, right?
Many people suddenly discovered that the world actually belonged to this monarch who had been controlled by the cabinet for many years.
Just like the late emperor who endured and seized power in the midst of massacres.
Now, he wanted to thank Mingjin and also wanted the court to acquiesce to this outcome.
——————
In front of the gate of Xie's family, Xie Li was kneeling, but he didn't dare to accept the order. His face was pale and he didn't know what he was thinking.
The people from the Ministry of Rites did not embarrass him and just entered Xie's house under the leadership of Qianji.
Met Xie Mingjin.
Ming Jin put down his book, walked out of the courtyard, and glanced at him.
His eyes fell on the imperial edict in his hand.
"you again."
Qianji smiled, "Yes, Master Shaozong, it's me again, it's me again...this time, it's your proposal."
He knelt down and held up the royal proposal and imperial edict in his hand.
There is also a Qinglong Token placed on the tray.
Ming Jin looked at it for a while and said, "I don't have the Blue Bird Order in my hand."
Qianji lowered his head, "Your Majesty said you have it."
Xie Li and Xie Mingrong were in the corridor. When they heard these words, they both saw the personal maid behind Ming Jin, the maid whom Ming Jin had trusted since childhood, walking out, lowering her head and holding up a token.
.
Ming Jin turned his head to look at Shaoyao, his face was expressionless, only his eyes were deep.
"So, do you even have ulterior motives for me? Xiao Shaoyao."
Shaoyao lowered his head and choked with sobs: "Girl, I have no choice."
Ming Jin looked at her for a long time, then picked up the token with his pale fingers and rubbed it for a moment, as if he had thrown it into the pool that night, and she had also put it on the plate that Qianji was holding up.
inside.
Then, he took the wedding card and the imperial edict.
"Thank you for your kindness."
In the eyes of many people, she actually had no choice.
Xie Mingrong's eyes suddenly turned red.
——————
Shaoyao was taken away by Qianji and soon met the old eunuch. The old eunuch opened the door and let her in.
Shaoyao knelt on the ground with a pale face, not daring to look at Emperor Zhong who was playing with the Qingque Ling in front of him.
"She treated you really well, and she didn't kill you."
"Slave, I would rather the girl kill me."
Chu Lu glanced at her and said: "You can't die. In these years, because she is too smart, I have never let anyone contact you. Now that you have been exposed, I have something to ask you."
Shaoyao said nothing and allowed him to ask.
He asked a lot of questions, and Shaoyao answered some and didn't answer some.
"You are already a betrayer of the Lord, why are you still so insistent?"
Shaoyao didn't know what to say, so she could only stare blankly, twisting her sleeves with her fingers. After a while, she lay on the ground and begged Chu Lu to let her family go.
"Well, I will let him go, but you can go back to Xie Mingjin later."
Shaoyao was confused and looked up at him.
But Chu Lu sighed.
"Placing you next to her will probably make her hate me even more. If I deal with you privately...you can go back. How to deal with it is her business."
He touched his face and smiled bitterly, "I offended her to death as soon as I proposed. I'm afraid I am the most fearless groom in the world."
But Shaoyao clearly saw the happiness on his face.
That was the first time that this scheming and eccentric emperor expressed such clear and pure joy.
It's like... it's like I got the treasure I've been craving for so many years.
Xie Mingrong still found Mingjin.
"Did you expect this?" She got straight to the point.
Ming Jin was getting up to get a soft support for her, because the latter was just an ordinary noble girl, and her foundation was damaged by giving birth this time, and she didn't know if she could raise her back.
Hearing this, Ming Jin did not waver. Instead, he said: "The Thirty-Five Clan will not follow him loyally because of his father's death."
Of course Ming Rong understood, "So, this is the price?"
As long as Ming Jin enters the palace, the aristocratic family group of the Thirty-five clans will have a way out. Otherwise, if they sit back and do nothing, they will only be slowly liquidated and disintegrated by the Chu family.
