Chapter 802 The Emperor is Cheating (Forty)
Gu Qingcheng and Min Huang guessed many possibilities, but even though they were extremely smart and knowledgeable, they never imagined that the truth would be like this.
What does it mean to be an extra son? Could it be that——
"Mother, did you give birth to twins?"
Min Huang could no longer remain calm, and his voice was trembling.
"……Um!"
The birth “that year” was definitely the biggest secret in Concubine Xie’s heart.
Sometimes, she didn't even dare to think about it.
No matter how confused she was, she knew that this was a matter of life and death.
If it were to be disclosed, he, his mother’s family involved, and even his son might all die!
However, now that she had said it, Concubine Xie had the courage to "throw the whole jar into the ground".
Seeing that Concubine Xie really nodded and replied with a "hmm", Gu Qingcheng and Min Huang were even more speechless.
Min Huang couldn't find his own voice. I have a twin brother?
After all, Gu Qingcheng is not a person involved, so she can still maintain her rationality and calmness.
Of course, in order to demonstrate the “concern leads to confusion”, Gu Qingcheng still had expressions of shock and astonishment on her face.
She even trembled as she confirmed again: "Mother, did you give birth to twins that year?"
"Yes! But, everyone in the palace said that in the royal family, twins are taboo. If you give birth to twins, not only will you not gain any merit, but it may also make the late emperor furious!"
"Even your uncle asked people to inquire around, and they all said that the fate of twins is uncertain, so either all of them should be destroyed, or only one should be left!"
When Concubine Xie mentioned what happened back then, she still remembered it vividly even though twenty years had passed.
Thinking of the child who was taken away at birth, Concubine Xie also felt heartbroken.
Her tears flowed down, "I don't want to do that either! But I'm afraid! I'm afraid, I'm afraid that if the truth is exposed, the three of us will die!"
Min Huang's eyes went dark: Such an extremely stupid woman is actually my biological mother.
Gu Qingcheng also seemed to be shocked, and had completely lost her usual calmness.
She even asked back with a hint of anger, "Who said twins are ominous?"
"Even in the royal family, having many children means more blessings!"
"Also, not only in the Great Jing Dynasty, but in all dynasties, there is no record in history books of a person being punished for having twins!"
Gu Qingcheng's words were not entirely meant to set a trap for Concubine Xie.
That's the truth.
In the Celestial Empire, there is no such thing as the unknown birth status of twins, at least there is no record of it in history books.
On the contrary, some dynasties’ history books even recorded that XX princes and royal family members gave birth to twins and were rewarded by the emperor and empress! Well, taking a step back, even if the emperor had twin sons, he would be worried that there would be hidden dangers when choosing an heir.
But, what was Concubine Xie's position back then? She was just an unloved beauty.
Not one of the four concubines, nor even the queen.
Her son is naturally not competitive.
What is Min Huang's ranking? Jiulang! Min Huang has eight older brothers.
What's more, the prince was still alive at that time.
At most, the twins Min and Huang might be excluded from the list of heirs to the throne, but they can still become wealthy princes.
As a result, due to Concubine Xie's ignorance, she sent one of them away.
etc!
Send away?
Min Huang and Gu Qingcheng's eyes suddenly lit up, and the couple asked in unison, "Mother, where is the child?"
If the child who was sent away could be found, it would prove that Concubine Xie not only gave birth to a son, but gave birth to two in one go!
That child is the living witness.
“Dead, dead!”
Concubine Xie stammered in reply.
Min Huang and Gu Qingcheng's eyes turned cold in an instant.
Min Huang squeezed out these words from between his teeth: "Did you send someone to 'deal' with it?"
Even a tiger won’t eat its own cubs. In the past, Min Huang just thought that his biological mother was stupid, but he never thought that his own mother actually had such a “murderous and decisive” side.
"No! I didn't!"
Concubine Xie waved her hands hurriedly. This time she did not feel guilty: "I just want to take the child out of the palace. Your uncle has already helped find a family for the child. It's on a farm outside Beijing."
"But, but, it's all the fault of that dog slave Chen Gui. It was his first time and he had no experience. He hid the child in the food box without leaving a crack. He only found out after he left the palace that the child, the child——"
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"He was scared when he saw the child dead. He threw the food box outside the Xie family's gate and ran away!"
"I was also afraid that the matter would be exposed, so I reported a sudden death to Chen Gui."
Concubine Xie tried her best to defend herself, but she didn't know that her words made Min Huang and Gu Qingcheng, two bigwigs in the court, feel dizzy.
Concubine Xie actually let such an obvious loophole go? Even if she didn't want to kill him to silence him, she had to keep him under control!
Well, Concubine Xie is in the palace and has no freedom.
But what about the Xie family?
How come they are all idiots? No one thought of finding Chen Gui and then -
This is a big handle given to the Queen Mother for nothing.
I believe that when the Queen Mother chose to register the prince, she had already found out about this matter.
Maybe, they had already captured Chen Gui and kept him in secret, just waiting for today's fierce blow! Taking a deep breath, suppressing the anger in his chest, Min Huang continued to ask: "Besides Chen Gui, uncle, who else knows about this?"
Witness! Since the case has been reported to Jingzhao Prefecture and has been publicized to the entire capital, we must deal with it properly.
This kind of thing can no longer be hidden and must be tried in public, only in this way can Min Huang be cleared of all charges.
Otherwise, for an emperor, a questionable origin would be the biggest stain.
Even though everyone knew that Min Huang was the son of the previous emperor, this fact could always be an important weapon for his political opponents to attack him.
"No! This matter is too important to let more people know."
When Concubine Xie said this, she looked very proud.
It seems to be saying: I am smart, I thought about being cautious and keeping it secret from the beginning!
"So, the maid who delivered the baby and the doctor who treated the patient were all dealt with?"
Min Huang squeezed out these words from between his teeth again.
"Well! Your uncle has put in a lot of effort, so, Jiulang, you must not treat them unfairly in the future!"
Min Huang & Gu Qingcheng: ...
Concubine Xie is indeed a powerful character, as she was able to render two quick-thinking and eloquent court officials speechless.
Min Huang took a deep breath, things were not too bad.
If there is no witness or physical evidence, it can be fabricated.
As long as he is sure that he is the blood of the previous emperor, then he will have the confidence! Min Huang has already begun to think about how to resolve this crisis, while Gu Qingcheng still has a cold face.
Suddenly, she came in front of Concubine Xie, raised her hand and slapped her!
Concubine Xie and Min Huang were both stunned. The stupid mother and the smart son didn't know why Gu Qingcheng would make such a surprising move...
