"Feng Yanzhi!" Shangguan Yu shouted angrily, "Stop your excuses! Why did you wait six months after Rui'an was buried before you reported the news to Dongjun? This is what you said about doting on Rui'an. She died in childbirth, and you kept it a secret, leaving us with no chance to even see Rui'an. When we rushed to Beiyi, all we saw was a cold tombstone!"
Upon hearing this, the old wise king remembered this detail. At that time, he was fighting against the Western Rong army in the western border. Half a year later, he returned to the court and saw Shangguan Yu trying to move Queen Fu'an's tomb back to Dongjun.
He reacted most strongly at the time and firmly disagreed.
Shangguan Rui'an is the Queen of Beiyi. As the saying goes, a daughter who is married off is like spilled water. How can she move back to her parents' home?
"Prince Yu, you said you didn't hear about Empress Fu'an's death until half a year later?"
Shangguan Yu looked at the old virtuous king and said unhappily, "What else could you do? You were the most vehemently opposed to my exhumation of the coffin for an autopsy. We settled for the next best thing and moved the tomb back to Dongjun, but you still clamored for war!"
The old wise king's face turned red after hearing what he said, and he glanced at Emperor Qianyuan.
Emperor Qianyuan turned his eyes away guiltily, but he didn't take it too seriously in his heart. His uncle had promised his father that he would help him secure his throne.
When the old wise king saw his guilty expression, he knew that Prince Yu was telling the truth.
The news he received that year was that the Dongjun royal family did not make it in time for the burial of Empress Fu'an. They suspected that Empress Fu'an was not killed in childbirth but was murdered. They insisted on opening the coffin for an autopsy. The stalemate lasted for half a year. He rushed back to the capital, and Shangguan Yu made a fuss about moving the mausoleum.
Naturally, he couldn't agree at that time. If he agreed, wouldn't the Beiyi court lose face?
Emperor Qianyuan has not yet firmly established his throne, and there are still rebel kings ready to make moves, so he cannot open his mouth!
Once anything is found out, Emperor Qianyuan will be in danger.
He had promised his brother the Emperor to help him secure his throne! He had to do it, and he did it.
Now think about it again, his Feng family's daughter-in-law died, but they didn't inform the in-laws until half a year later. This is something that rarely happens in ordinary people, but it happened in the royal family. If the whole world knew about it, wouldn't it break the backbone of his Feng family!
"...You're obstructing us in every way because you have something to hide. You know Rui'an was murdered, and you're opposing us so strongly to protect the murderer. Now that Ayi is in the palace, how can you still argue? Empress Dowager Du, you are the murderer!"
Empress Dowager Du said, "No matter what, I have no reason to persecute..."
“Bang!”
A slap rang out in the hall. Empress Dowager Du covered her face with her hands and glared at Shangguan Lan fiercely, "How dare you!"
As Empress Dowager Du spoke, she raised her hand and hit Shangguan Lan hard. She had never suffered such a great insult in her life, and she would not be able to get rid of the hatred in her heart unless she hit back!
Shangguan Lan took the initiative and slapped him again, "I have disliked you for a long time. You murderer, you must pay with your life!"
Empress Dowager Du was not willing to be outdone. She suddenly stood up from her seat, grabbed Shangguan Lan's hair and started pulling it, not only on her hands but also on her legs, causing her jewelry to jingle and fall to the ground!
The queen and the queen mother of a country started fighting in public.
Xiao Xier and Su Ning'an opened their mouths in shock at this scene.
My grandmother actually hits people!
It’s no less fierce than fighting with those old ladies in Guihua Village!
Shangguan Jinnian couldn't take any action and had to protect Shangguan Lan closely behind her.
Everyone else was shocked by the sudden scene!
"What are you still standing there for? Pull them apart quickly." Emperor Qianyuan came to his senses and quickly ordered people to pull the two apart!
Yun Gu hurriedly took the palace maids and went forward to pull Shangguan Lan away, obviously trying to take sides.
Seeing this, Nanny Yuan ordered a skilled maid to hold Yun Gu and the others back while shouting, "Madam, stop hitting me."
He just refused to separate the two parties.
Su Xing thought that if the fight continued, no one would benefit, so he quickly pulled Shangguan Yu forward to separate the two.
Empress Dowager Du fainted on the ground.
"Empress Dowager!"
"Mother!"
Shangguan Lan didn't expect that Empress Dowager Du would be so strong but still so weak.
If she feels dizzy, then she will feel dizzy too!
See what other tricks she plays?!
Shangguan Lan glanced at Shangguan Yu beside her, closed her eyes and fell towards Shangguan Yu.
"Ah! Mother, what's wrong with you? Wake up!" Shangguan Yu took Shangguan Lan's hand.
Emperor Qianyuan suddenly felt tired and said, "Quickly call the imperial physician."
"Your Majesty, today's events should not be publicized. There is no need to alarm the imperial physician. This humble servant can examine them."
"Okay, Princess Xiao, come here."
Emperor Qianyuan quickly ordered the palace servants to send the two to a side hall.
Afterwards, Princess Xiao entered the side hall under the care of Su Xingyi and the children.
"Li Haiying."
"The old slave is here!"
"It's time for lunch."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Emperor Qianyuan looked at the old wise king sitting beside him and his personal guard standing beside him.
"Uncle, can I go in and take a look?"
The old virtuous king nodded and said, "Go."
After Emperor Qianyuan left, only the two of them were left in the hall. The old virtuous king whispered, "See? Now there are witnesses. Both mother and son deny it. Do you think they will admit your story?"
Dongfang Yinzhang pursed his lips and said, "Senior Ye not only saw it with his own eyes that day, but also investigated a lot over the years. They will not deny it!"
"Oh?" The old virtuous king raised an eyebrow. "Uncle, wait and see."
Xiao Lingyu examined Shangguan Lan's pulse with a serious expression. Shangguan Jinnian didn't know the truth and looked at Shangguan Lan with a worried look on his face.
Hoping she would open her eyes in the next second.
"Princess Xiao, is my mother okay? When will she wake up?"
Princess Xiao glanced at Shangguan Lan's slightly closed eyes. She couldn't say in front of the emperor that she was pretending, right?
