026 Doubtful love
"Say, who on earth instructed you to frame the queen!" In the prison, Bei Tanghao held a whip in his hand and beat the man who was seen sleeping in the same bed with the queen with his own eyes.
"Do not say it, say it or not!" Bei Tanghao's whip fell faster and more urgently. The man couldn't stand the pain and moaned.
"Your Majesty, it's the queen, and it's the queen who called me..." The man still insisted.
Beitanghao was even more angry. Wherever the whip reached, there was no skin and flesh, and blood and flesh.
"The Empress Dowager arrived--" The voice from the servant made him pause his movements in vain.
He has strictly ordered everyone in the Hehuan Hall to wait for silence. Why did it still disturb the Empress Dowager? From the beginning of the incident, he decided that it was just between him and Queen Du, so he did not want to let others know, including his own biological mother, Empress Dowager Wen.
"Your Majesty, what the hell is going on?" The Empress Dowager frowned and said, "I just heard that the queen had an affair with a man of unknown origin last night and was caught by the emperor on the spot, but is it true?"
Beitanghao screamed badly and instinctively asked, "How did the mother know? Who told the mother?"
"Don't care how the Ai family knows first. You just need to answer the Ai family, can there be this?"
"It's a matter... I'm still on trial." Bei Tanghao hesitated.
The man who was hanged up for interrogation by Beitanghao saw that he was too late. He was crazy and shouted, "Your Majesty, Empress Dowager! I knew the Empress outside the palace. It was the Empress who asked me to pretend to be an eunuch and sneak into the palace! And the relationship between the slave and the Empress is not overnight!"
"Isn't it overnight? Your Majesty, listen to me, your queen actually did such a thing behind her back. Now she can still do such a thing when she is pregnant. To be honest, my family doubts whether the fetus in the queen's belly is a dragon seed..." The Empress Dowager trembled with anger.
Bei Tanghao argued strongly: "Mother, the queen and her son have always had a very good relationship. I don't believe that she will do such a thing!"
"Well, bring the queen to the opposite sex, and my family should listen to her words in person!"
In the Hehuan Hall, Queen Du has not slept all night, and the water and rice have not entered. Since she entered the palace as a beautiful girl, she has never fallen into such a crisis, which makes her feel desperate.
Once, she entered the palace with the girl's yearning for feelings and the attachment to Beitanghao;
Once, her first night with Bei Tanghao was deliberately destroyed by Yan Guifei;
Once, she found that the person in her heart regarded her as the no one else;
......
Even if he ignores her, stays away from her, and doesn't love her, she can stand it, but she can't stand that he would rather believe in an outsider of unknown origin but suspects her.
Which link did something go wrong? If you think about it, things may have been premeditated from the beginning...
That afternoon, Noble Concubine Yan invited her to eat zongzi. When she came back, she took a rest for a while. After that, she had dinner. After dinner, she drank the necessary fetal medicine every day... It seemed that everything was going on a normal track, and there seemed to be no mistakes.
The bowl of fetal medicine... After drinking the medicine, she was more sleepy than usual. Moreover, she usually sleeps lightly and wakes up as soon as there is a movement. How can she let a person lie next to her without knowing it this time?
This bowl of fetal medicine should be the key to the problem. If this bowl of medicine can be used as a breakthrough in this incident, or it can wash away her grievances...
When Queen Du thought of this, she felt excited. Everything was not desperate. Even if there was little hope, it would not make her really fall into a desperate situation.
She was thinking about it over and over again, and the waiter reported at the door: "Queen, Grandpa Lu is here."
The person who came was the servant of the empress dowager. Queen Du did not dare to neglect her. She forced her to get up with a smile and went to greet her in person. The father-in-law didn't say anything politely and said bluntly, "Empress Dowager, if you have something important to do, please go to Changxin Palace. Please invite her now."
"What on earth is this...?" Queen Du asked with a guilty heart.
"I don't know either." The father-in-law looked helplessness.
The wind blew to the Empress Dowager so fast... Think about it, the behind-the-scenes black manipulator who framed her can't wait to reveal the wind to the Empress Dowager when the matter is secret. Bei Tanghao's personality should not make things bigger and bigger before things come to light. So, it is obvious that the thing is done by the person who framed her, and the purpose of that person is to kill her, right?
In this harem, she is the only candidate for Beitanghao to regard as his wife. The more she gets, the more people she hates her.
Murong Xueyan's former advice appeared in her ears. As soon as she entered the palace door, it was as deep as the sea. There were countless women in the palace who were spoiled all day long. She knew all these truths. She turned a blind eye to them at the beginning, and this time, for the first time, she questioned her behavior of entering the palace.
She entered the palace because of a word of love. The person she cares about when she enters the palace is the current emperor, Bei Tanghao.
But...is he worth it? This time, she was so wronged that there was no argument that he would stand behind her and support her, or doubt her like others? If, if he doesn't know her as well as others and erases all the feelings between them, she really doesn't know what reason there is for her to continue to survive in this ambush harem. Maybe he will kill her in anger, and even the unformed child in her womb will not be let go...
She followed her father-in-law, pressing her hand on her stomach.
This is his child... the continuation of their feelings. Unfortunately, she is not sure whether she can protect him.
After Empress Du was taken to Changxin Palace, the empress dowager withdrew all the maids and maids of honor. There were only four people at the scene, including the empress dowager, the emperor, the queen, and the man yesterday.
Queen Du bent down and knelt down, looking as usual: "See the emperor and the queen." She was uneasy all the way, but she calmed down after arriving at Changxin Palace. She didn't do it in the first place. Why should she be frightened?
"Get up. I have something to ask you." The Empress Dowager motioned her to get up with an indifferent look.
Bei Tanghao felt a pain in his heart when he thought of what he saw last night. Then he saw Queen Du's haggard look, and kissed him with a touch of pity in his eyes...
She is the only person he regards as his wife after all... After all, they have been in love...
"Yes." Empress Du staggered up. She didn't sleep all night, and she hasn't eaten anything since she got up early, which made her look very weak and her lips pale.
"Do you recognize this man?" The Empress Dowager pointed to a scarred man in the hall and asked.
Empress Du turned her eyes to the man and slowly shook her head: "I don't know."
"Queen, I... I'm Lu Yong! How can you not recognize it?" The man was very excited and shouted.
"I have never seen you before." Empress Du approached Lu Yong and asked, "What on earth were you instructed by to frame me?"
"Queen, you and I are obviously old acquaintances, but that day you said you were lonely..." Lu Yong couldn't help repeating, "Queen, you and I know each other outside the palace. How can you say that you have never seen me?"
"Queen, you explain it to the mourning family. Who do you want to believe?" The color in the back is getting worse and worse.
"If you want to add a crime, why don't you have to say anything?" Queen Du smiled mockingly and looked at Bei Tanghao, "Your Majesty, do you believe in your Anu or this outsider you have never met?"
"This..." Bei Tanghao hesitated.
Even he couldn't firmly believe in himself... Queen Du looked sad and speechless.
"Can't speak, can you?" The Empress Dowager sneered and asked more sternly, "Queen, tell your family honestly whether the fetus in your womb is from the emperor?"
"..." While denying her, did she even suspect the bone and blood in her abdomen?
Empress Du laughed angrily and asked, "You said that you recognize me outside the palace. Then the palace asks you, where do you know each other? Is there any evidence and material evidence?"
"This..." Lu Yong was asked nervously. He simply made up a lie and said, "I met him in Mu Xianzhuang in the capital. At that time, the Empress still praised the villain for his literary talent."
"Wencai?" Empress Du sneered and asked, "Whose poem is it that the palace asks you, 'Being a husband and wife, and there is no doubt about love'?"
As a husband and wife, there is no doubt about love. In addition to asking the man who deliberately murdered her after being bribed, this sentence was also for Bei Tanghao.
They are husband and wife... If they are husband and wife, they should trust each other. Why doesn't he believe her?
"Yes...Yes..." I didn't say in advance that there would be such a question...
"This is what Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty wrote to him, Empress Chen." Empress Du smiled jokingly, "Since you said that I appreciate your literary talent, why can't you even answer such a simple question?"
"Yes... it's Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. The little man was nervous and forgot it for a moment.
"Oh, this can be remembered carefully. Is it Emperor Wu of Han?" Beitanghao also found something strange and asked.
"Yes, yes, remember carefully." Lu Yong couldn't help nodding.
"Brick, this is obviously a poem written to his wife before Su Wu's envoy to the Western Regions. You actually said it was from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty!" Queen Du seized the opportunity to fight back and asked again, "You'd better tell me honestly who instructed you to frame me!"
"No, no one instructed..." Lu Yong shook his head like a rattle and desperately denied it.
"Then tell me, how did you enter the palace and which joints were opened to get in?" Queen Du asked sharply, "I found a set of waiter's clothes under the bed. Did you leave it? I'd like to ask you, when did you sneak into the inner hall and hide under the bed?
"No, no..."
"The waiter in the palace has to go through a clean body to serve in the harem. How did you get in?" The Empress Dowager also felt that things were abnormal.
The situation of the matter is very different from the initial imagination... I thought that the empress dowager would come in to interfere and be guilty of the queen, but this queen... seemed to be a little more shrewd than others described.
When Empress Du saw that the situation had turned around, she breathed a sigh of relief and turned around and said, "Now, it's time for the Empress Dowager and the Emperor to understand the truth of the matter, which is right and which is wrong..."
"This..." The empress dowager hesitated for a long time, and Fang said, "In this case, Your Majesty, you can escort this man down first and try again."
Everything was so clear that the Empress Dowager still didn't want to believe her... Queen Du turned her head to Bei Tanghao again to see how he reacted.
"Anu, I misunderstood you. I believe you are innocent." Beitanghao's doubts disappeared in his eyes, and he came forward to help her.
"Your Majesty, you... you are willing to believe in my concubine..." All the fatigue and grievances came. She was so tired that she couldn't support it and fainted to the ground.
"Anu, Anu..."
It's this familiar voice, and it's also a person who can't even forget it in a dream.
As a husband and wife, there is no doubt about love. Is it okay? Don't doubt it anymore?
She is too tired and wants to have a good sleep and have a good rest...
