Chapter 180: dead end
Xu Huan didn't believe in Bai Yinhua, but she had no other way to go at this time. Then she thought of how Bai Yinhua had been hurt many times for her son who was taken away at birth, and even cried and begged in front of King An.
In the end, it was the meat that fell from her body, I can't say that I don't care at all.
Xu Huan looked at her with dark eyes for a long time, even if she could not believe Bai Yinhua's words because of the remaining sense of reason, but in the end, it was covered up by the instinct of survival.
"Okay, I'll take you into the palace." She gritted her teeth unwillingly, "But Bai Yinhua, if there is something wrong with your words, even if I die, I will definitely bring you to be buried with me!"
...
In fact, Xu Huan had no channel to enter the palace. The main king An had already been interrogated, and he did not know how to die. No one would sell her face as a lost princess, even if she wanted to send a letter to the outside world.
Xu Huan also thought about complaining directly to the emperor, but the key point was that she wanted to say, but the emperor was too lazy to listen. In the end, even Xu Huan even handed over the blood letter, but received no response at all.
Instead, the queen was shocked.
To say that King An's accident had little effect on the queen, the emperor's attack on the Xu family was to break her bottom. Even if Queen Xu doesn't like seeing her family, the second prince is weak, and the longevity of the Xu family is her biggest reliance.
The concubines in the harem are fierce, if there is no support in the outer court, who will put her in the eyes of the queen?
Furious and anxious, Empress Xu fell ill again.
She was really frightened by her guilty conscience and fear this time. Empress Xu was not sure how much the emperor knew about the entanglement between the Xu family and Prince An. The slightest disturbance made her suspicious. endlessly.
Therefore, when she suddenly heard about Xu Yan's troubles, her first reaction was disgust and disgust, and then she realized what the "hidden feelings" she was talking about meant.
"Could it be that she has a way to get out?" Queen Xu's heart that had been dull for a long time couldn't help jumping up again, and even the spirit of depression recovered a little. trip.
Naturally, this trip was not to send care or comfort Xu Yan, but to reprimand her in the name of the queen.
First, it showed Empress Xu's position, and second, it took this opportunity to find out if King An had left behind, so that Xu Huan or the Xu family had hope of turning around.
When that mama came back, Queen Xu listened to the news she reported, full of doubts: "Bai Yinhua? Who is that?"
Bai Yinhua has been staying in the palace to raise a baby since she was pregnant, and she didn't have any more troubles. Queen Xu couldn't remember her for a while.
But when Mammy revealed her and Bai Chu's identities, Empress Xu's face immediately turned ashen, her breath choked in the middle of her throat, and she coughed several times, her eyes flushed with anger: "It really is a disaster for the family!"
At this moment, she completely forgot the scene when Bai Yinhua helped them frame Bai Chu, and directly equated the two with a sneer: "Since she said she wants to enter the palace, let her in."
When Bai Chu found out, the play became a farce.
Bai Yinhua did confess his guilt to the queen. By the way, he confessed all the small tricks that King An had secretly made in the past, including the fact that he poisoned the second prince. She was so shocked that Queen Xu was so angry that she almost didn't let anyone take her on the spot. kill.
It's a pity that Bai Yinhua confessed her guilt, but refused to accept her fate. She only said that if she died, the entanglement between the Xu family and Prince An would no longer be clear, so she barely saved half her life.
Empress Xu grabbed her and hurried to the Taiji Hall, disregarding her manners, took off her hairpins, dressed in plain palace attire, knelt miserably outside the hall door, shouted injustice, and said that the second prince was persecuted by traitors. , it's really pathetic...
Always tossing and turning, his voice was hoarse, only when he saw Li Quan come out, he said respectfully to her, "Empress Empress, Your Majesty said that you should go back and take care of yourself first, and Your Majesty will investigate the other matters. No one will be wronged casually.”
Empress Xu has always followed the emperor's wishes the most. Hearing his reply, her face was pale, and the light in her eyes dimmed again.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Bai Yinhua quietly approached Queen Xu and whispered something in her ear.
In the next second, Empress Xu's grief-stricken face suddenly showed some determination, and she said fiercely: "If Your Majesty refuses to believe me, then I will ask God for innocence!" He bumped into the steps in front of him, startled Li Quan, and hurriedly stood in front of her, "The Empress, I can't do it."
Once the mother of the country was killed outside the Taiji Hall, such absurd incidents were passed down in the historical records, and it had a great impact on your Majesty's reputation.
Li Quan was helpless. Since Madam Bai left the palace, His Majesty's mood has deteriorated day by day.
Ask him to say that the Queen might as well go back to Kunning Palace and wait quietly. When His Majesty calms down, he will naturally have the heart to listen to her, but he was so angry that he refused to leave.
Li Quan sighed secretly in his heart, and in the end he still went back and told the emperor what Empress Xu said again.
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly turned cold, and the aura of the emperor was even more dangerous than before. Li Quan shrank his neck angrily, listening to his indifferent sentence, "Since she refuses to leave, let her in." Shaking, he hurriedly took small steps to withdraw, invited the queen and others to enter, and then silently stood outside the hall, with a whisk in his hand, he returned to the usually calm director Li.
This man wanted to die, but King Yama couldn't stop him.
Compared to Queen Xu's eagerness and earnestness, Bai Yinhua looked a lot calmer. She knelt down quietly and listened to Queen Xu taking all the charges against her. In her mouth, she became a pitiful resentful woman who suffered from the neglect of her husband and was trapped in the backyard and did not care about the world.
She patiently waited for Empress Xu and Xu Huan to finish their statement, and then she kowtowed unhurriedly.
"Your Majesty, since the minister's wife married into Prince An's mansion, she would not dare to say that it has nothing to do with the prince's actions, but to say that the minister's wife encouraged the prince to let go of such a heinous crime would be too high." Bai Yinhua Described as gloomy, she said with a low and wry smile, "The Empress said that the lord loves his ministers and wives very much, but he can't even keep his only son under his knees. Guilt."
Xu Huan's heart thumped, she had guessed that Bai Yinhua could not obey obediently, so she didn't panic at the moment, she just said: "The son you gave birth to is a concubine, and when you hand it over to me, you will have the name of direct descendant. , Bai Yinhua, can you say that this is not King An's preference for your mother and son!"
There was an accent in her stern voice, with a hint of threat.
Bai Yinhua moved Xu Huan with her relatives, but now she changed her mind temporarily. Even if Xu Huan knew that she was afraid that she did not have much friendship with this son in the first place, she was in a hurry now, but she had no other choice.
Bai Yinhua turned a blind eye and sneered in his heart.
At the beginning, the emperor left King An, which caused today's disaster. I wonder how he would repeat the same mistakes and allow Pei Heng to live safely.
After knowing that King An was defeated, Bai Yinhua was ready to fill in his son together.
At this time, I am glad that Pei Heng was taken to Xu Huan to raise him early, and he did not have many feelings. At this time, it was not as difficult as he imagined to give up.
"The minister's wife urges His Majesty to look into it. Now the minister's wife is in prison. If it is only related to the minister's wife, she will follow the prince, which is the result that the minister's wife deserves, but... this matter is very important, and the minister's wife cannot let her family members Bear the sins together, and hope that His Majesty will give justice to the courtiers and wives."
After Bai Yinhua finished speaking, the hall was eerily silent for a while.
Xu Huan's face turned pale, Empress Xu turned around abruptly, and looked at Bai Yinhua, "Don't tell me, you were there when King An poisoned Xu'er, do you dare to say that you didn't know anything about it? !"
Bai Yinhua lightly curled the corners of her lips, "The Empress said carefully, I wasn't the only one present at the time."
"Bam—"
The first emperor patted the table, interrupting the arguments of several people, and glanced down coldly with deep eyes, "What's the noise, who of you can escape?"
Bai Yinhua's face suddenly turned pale, and Queen Xu said in shock, "Your Majesty—?"
"Empress, I ask you, do you really not know that King An rebelled?"
Facing the emperor's cold scrutiny, Queen Xu's body trembled slightly, and she couldn't say what she wanted to refute.
Has Your Majesty found something?
The emperor chuckled and said, "You know that King An is suspected of Xu'er's poisoning, and you can cooperate with him without any hesitation. This kind of mother's heart is rare."
The sarcasm in the words was like a biting cold wind from Jiuhantian, which made Queen Xu's face hurt, and muttered to herself: "Your Majesty, this concubine is not..."
She wanted to refute that she didn't care about the second prince, and cooperated with Prince An just to use him to get rid of other princes so that the second prince could become the most promising candidate for succession again.
But what is the difference between this and Wang An's wolf ambition?
Empress Xu was in a trance, her face was slumped, and she was not much better than Xu Huan, who was already beside her.
"As for you," the emperor looked at Bai Yinhua, sharp and intimidating, "Do you think I don't know your plan?"
"It's ridiculous to think you're self-righteous, and it's disgusting to be smart."
Bai Yinhua couldn't even kneel, his body softened and he completely collapsed to the ground.
She wanted to laugh a little, but the facial features on her face seemed to freeze, and she couldn't even make a twitching movement.
It is true that the means are too obvious in front of this majesty, but where does she have other options now?
Didn't he say that His Majesty was very pleased with Bai Chuhua? If that's the case, it should be to protect the Bai family in her face, right?
But Bai Yinhua is the Bai family after all. If she is charged with rebellion, can Bai Chuhua and the Bai family stay out of it?
Bai Yinhua used herself as bait to lead Xu Huan to find Empress Xu to bring herself to the emperor, just to explain this to him.
If Bai Chuhua was to be innocent, she would have to pull Bai Yinhua out of the quagmire of King An.
Even if she can only recite scriptures in the Buddhist hall in her next life, even if she abandons her only son,
Bai Yinhua had never felt that his mind was so clear.
In any case, she didn't want to die, it was still possible to live, and once she died, there was nothing left.
In her life, she was destined to be a loser who was trampled by Bai Chuhua.
