When Luo Zhaozhao was invited in, she didn't know what was going on. Seeing the serious atmosphere of Gu Miao kneeling, her heart suddenly turned cold. She suppressed her thoughts and bowed deeply to the people present. Then she looked at Chun Guo who was standing aside with some surprise.
"Why are you here? Didn't you say..."
"Madam, please don't kill me! Madam, please don't kill me! I was wrong, madam! I really didn't hear anything!"
She used the same old trick again and blocked Luo Zhaozhao's words. As smart as Luo Zhaozhao was, she figured out what was going on at once. Looking at Gu Miao's disheartened expression, she slowly frowned.
"This girl said..."
The Queen Mother did not let Luo Zhaozhao get up, but let her kneel on the ground, looking down at her condescendingly, with coldness in her eyes.
The aura on his body even scared Gu Miao, who was used to seeing these big men. He lowered his head and trembled his lips.
"Grandma...grandma..."
She naturally knew that the outcome was set, because it was Luo Zhaozhao himself who came up with the idea of throwing the child into a mass grave.
There were countless corpses thrown there on a daily basis, including some elderly people and children born to girls in brothels.
Not everyone is so lucky to have the chance to survive.
This kind of thing is common in mass graves, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with throwing children there.
But Cheng Yaojin suddenly appeared halfway.
This Chun Guo actually turned against us.
Luo Zhaozhao was filled with anger because the situation was urgent today and he had not prepared a carriage for Aunt Xi.
She ran to the mass grave at such a fast pace, how could she possibly escape capture?
Gu Miao knelt on the ground and stopped talking, looking as if he was admitting his guilt.
Judging from her appearance, the emperor already had a general idea.
On weekdays, such things happen a lot in the harem, and it is common for concubines to murder the heirs of the emperor.
But now, his own daughter actually treated an unborn child like this.
He was shocked and filled with sadness. Looking at Gu Miao's face, he finally sighed and waited for the guards to capture the midwife and the real dragon heir.
Luo Zhaozhao rolled his eyes and had already thought of a way out in his mind.
She has always been smart, and this time is no exception.
The guards outside were walking in a hurry. The Queen Mother stood up anxiously and went outside to meet them, eager to see her child who had a rough life.
Gu Miao's figure sitting on the ground slowly lowered with the footsteps of the guard, and he lowered his head waiting for the result.
The queen sitting on the side was also stunned.
She also understood that she had seen all of her daughter's behavior clearly and there was no room for maneuver.
"You are confused! You are confused!"
With a sigh, the queen slowly closed her eyes.
The leading guard knelt down first, and the guards who followed him in also bowed their heads.
Looking around, the Empress Dowager and the Emperor's eyes were filled with anxiety.
Gu Qingsheng raised his eyes and asked the guard
"Where's the person? Where's the child? Where's the midwife?"
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"
The guard said
"In the mass grave! We didn't find the dragon heir! We didn't see the midwife anywhere along the way!"
The news of the settlement was a big splash.
"How is that possible! How could there not be? Have you investigated thoroughly?!"
The emperor asked the guard anxiously, he thought he would be able to see the dragon heir this time, but he didn't expect that it would be in vain again.
As if seeing a glimmer of hope, Luo Zhaozhao finally spoke!
"Your Majesty! The truth is out! Even though I am disrespectful to your majesty by saying this!"
"But since this concerns my reputation, I must speak out!"
"Chun Guo's story about the civet cat replacing the prince is pure nonsense!"
"The princess and I are looking forward to the arrival of this little prince more than anyone else, not to mention..."
She glanced at Gu Qingsheng, and the emotion in her eyes was something only Gu Qingsheng could understand.
It was the posture of a victor, looking down from above, exactly the same as Luo Zhaozhao in the previous life.
Gu Qingsheng frowned and looked at Xu Qingyi. The other party shook his head at her, as if he didn't know what was going on either.
This is the information Chun Guo received. How could there be such a sudden mistake?
Chun Guo, who was ready to receive the reward, was dumbfounded.
"No...it shouldn't be like this! No! Your Majesty! It's true! They really..."
"Shut up!!"
The emperor roared, no longer acting like an emperor.
His mood has been as unstable as a roller coaster for the past half day. He is already old, and now his heart is beginning to hurt.
If the real dragon heir is not found, then the child in Qianshi's arms is his real child.
The Queen Mother was also annoyed by this sudden shock and frowned.
"True, false, false, true, this palace is becoming more and more awful!"
"They dare to say anything, spread any news. Are they all planning to rebel?!"
When she got angry, even the emperor didn't dare to speak.
Gu Miao was about to speak when Luo Zhaozhao pulled her back. Now it would be too obvious for Gu Miao to speak. Only if she continued to remain silent at this time could the emperor feel more guilty towards her.
As expected, in the silence, the emperor came forward with a tired face and helped Gu Miao up.
"I'm sorry for wronging you."
Before he could finish his words, the panicked voice of Eunuch Li suddenly came from the door!
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"
He trotted into the house, the whisk in his hand fell heavily, and pointed at the door as if he had seen a ghost.
"Your Majesty! That! That Aunt Xi! That midwife!"
"She's holding the Dragon Heir! She's back!!"
In the panic, Gu Qingsheng slowly curled his lips and looked at Luo Zhaozhao on the ground.
She always knew how Luo Zhaozhao did things, so how could there be no way out in such a dangerous situation this time?
When Aunt Xi left the city, Luo Zhaozhao must have prepared a carriage for her and told them that it was a mass grave. In fact, he must have secretly ordered Aunt Xi to change the location.
Maybe even Gu Miao doesn't know about this, let alone Chun Guo. This is a life-saving talisman that Luo Zhaozhao gave to herself, so how could she reveal it all?
Gu Qingsheng didn't know where Luo Zhaozhao had been transferred to, nor did he need to know.
All she needed to know was that Aunt Xi was the midwife who was responsible for delivering Concubine Ning's babies at her parents' home and who had watched Concubine Ning grow up.
"You have no humanity. You used Aunt Xi's son to threaten her into submission."
"But don't forget, the thing you can't gamble on in this world is human nature."
"You think she would give in and harm Concubine Ning and this child for the sake of her foolish son, but you don't know that her son's foolishness is because she neglected her son while caring for Concubine Ning, who had a fever as a child, and that's why her son became foolish because of the fever."
"She already treats Concubine Ning as her own daughter."
