Even with the burn scars, you can still see the beauty of her original appearance.
She has red lips, white teeth and skin as white as cream. From her face, you can tell that she is no more than twenty years old.
Just a burn on her face made her look a little less attractive.
but.
When Empress Dowager Bai saw her face, she was stunned.
Although she had just heard Yang Zhao call her "Princess", Empress Dowager Bai did not associate it with her own family. After all, Emperor Wenyuan had never given birth to a princess, and there was no other princess in the Mo Dynasty except Princess Yuchang.
But now looking at the face of the fake Princess Yu...
"You are... Heng'er?"
The son of the late queen, Mo Heng, is also the eldest son of Emperor Wenyuan.
However, after the late queen passed away, the eldest prince was burned to death in a fire. Emperor Wenyuan was furious about this incident.
Empress Dowager Bai was also distressed when she heard about it, so she would go to the temple to pray from time to time.
Seeing this familiar face again, Queen Mother Bai was very surprised and shocked, because she didn't expect that her eldest grandson, who was supposed to be dead, was still alive and had turned into a woman...
But Empress Dowager Bai soon figured it out.
I'm afraid... the late queen originally gave birth to a princess, but in order to secure her throne as queen, she turned the princess into a prince.
This kind of thing has happened in all dynasties.
"Yes, I am Mo Heng."
"However, my name is Ah Huan now. The former eldest prince Mo Heng was burned to death in the palace by you a long time ago." When the fake Princess Yu said this, her eyes were filled with resentment and anger.
Empress Dowager Bai was stunned.
"Burned to death by my family?"
"What are you pretending for!"
The fake Princess Yu, or rather the eldest Princess Ah Huan, sneered at Empress Dowager Bai. "I overheard everything you said to our father back then, hiding in the dark. To make your daughter from the Bai family the empress, you went to great lengths to embarrass my mother, even killing her and finally having me burned to death. Empress Dowager, you pretend to be kind and compassionate on the surface, but in reality, you are the most vicious person in this harem."
Empress Dowager Bai was completely stunned.
"Who told you that? How could I possibly kill the Queen, and how could I possibly kill my own grandson?"
"You still haven't admitted it."
Ah Huan hated Empress Dowager Bai's bewildered look. He climbed up and clung to the iron gate, glaring at her through the crack and saying, "My mother was forced to death and silenced by you step by step because she discovered that my father had an affair with the late emperor's concubine! That late emperor's concubine was Prince Yi's mother, and also your niece."
Ah Huan told this secret very directly.
Some people even said it out loud in public as if in revenge.
Fortunately, everyone around was Queen Mother Bai's people, except Yang Zhao. However, when Yang Zhao heard this "secret", he did not show any great surprise.
In fact, many people know this secret.
For example, the picture album that Mrs. Shen had secretly hidden contained pictures of Emperor Wenyuan and his beloved woman, and there were even love poems written by Emperor Wenyuan on it.
Once the booklet is leaked, the reputations of the late emperor and Emperor Wenyuan will probably be ruined.
To be an emperor.
Who wouldn't be afraid of being recorded in history books after their death, leaving them infamous for eternity? That's why Emperor Wenyuan had the prudent decision to kill and silence the witnesses.
Empress Dowager Bai frowned upon hearing this. "So, just because you heard what I said to the Emperor, you think I was the one who killed your mother and had you burned to death?"
"You still don't admit it!"
Queen Mother Bai looked at Ah Huan, who was looking at her with resentment, and felt an indescribable pain. "I didn't expect that this was the reason for the huge resentment I have now. This is my fault."
"But what I want to say is that I have never harmed your mother. Your mother was also a good girl that I personally selected from many noble ladies. I have always liked her very much."
Ah Huan sneered in disbelief.
If she really loved him, would she let her son ignore her? And would she let those concubines bully her?
Thinking of his own mother, Ah Huan felt that the Queen Mother Bai in front of him was extremely hypocritical: "Hypocritical."
Queen Mother Bai sighed.
"Madam Su, go and bring over all those who served me in the past." Empress Dowager Bai did not explain any more, but instructed Madam Su.
"yes."
Nanny Su went there in person.
Less than a cup of tea.
Nanny Su brought several people to the cell.
Ah Huan was slightly startled when she saw those familiar faces, especially the old woman with a limp. She stood up in surprise and said, "Madame Gong, how are you still alive? Weren't you burned to death too?"
When Nanny Gong saw Ah Huan, she was a little stunned.
When she realized what was happening, she immediately rushed over without caring about anything else, knelt at the door of the cell and cried, "Your Highness, Your Highness, are you still alive? My Highness, it's so great that you are still alive. Otherwise, even if I died, I would not have the face to go to the underworld to see the Queen..."
Nanny Gong was the late queen's dowry and also her wet nurse.
It can be said that it was her idea to turn the princess into a prince, and she was the one who brought up Ah Huan, so anyone could lie to her except this Nanny Gong.
"Madam Gong, please tell her why the late queen died."
Empress Dowager Bai spoke at this time.
Nanny Gong burst into tears. After hearing what Empress Dowager Bai said, she remembered what Nanny Su had told her when she came. She quickly clung to the prison door and looked at Ah Huan anxiously. "Your Highness, please don't do anything stupid. The Empress really did pass away after being seriously ill. At that time, the Empress Dowager and the Emperor both ordered the doctors of the Imperial Hospital to do their best to treat the Empress, but she still didn't make it."
"Impossible. My mother looked very well at the time. She didn't look seriously ill at all."
Ah Huan suspected: "Has Madam Gong been bribed?"
Matron Gong cried, "Your Highness, even if I die, I will never be bribed. After Your Majesty dies, I wish I could bang my head against a wall and die with her, but I dare not die. Your Majesty is worried about you, Your Highness!"
"As for the Majesty's good complexion, it's because she's afraid you'll worry, so every time she sees you, she has the servants put rouge on her. But every time you leave, the Majesty coughs uncontrollably. The pollen on the rouge makes her uncomfortable. And every time the Majesty smells the flowers you bring, she coughs all night long, but she can't bear to throw them away..."
All the flowers and plants in Kunning Palace were pulled out that year.
Even the flowers that had just bloomed on the branches had to be knocked down and cleared away.
So every time Ah Huan came to Kunning Palace, she only saw a bare courtyard, without any vitality, and it was extremely shabby. She was very angry every time she saw it, and felt that it was because her mother was soft-hearted and easy to talk to that she was bullied.
It just so happened that a concubine who loved flowers and plants was favored that year, and all the beautiful flowers and plants were given to her. Ah Huan thought that the concubine was bullying her mother, so she would deliberately find trouble with the concubine every time, and then pick some flowers from her yard and bring them back to give to her mother.
Every time the Queen Mother saw the flowers, she smiled happily.
She thought...
