Xiao Linzi watched Emperor Yanxing leave in a daze.
The emperor finally touched a woman, and it turned out to be Aunt Yao.
"Aunt Yao, Aunt Yao, I hope you can get pregnant with a dragon heir, otherwise your life will be even more difficult in the future."
Being pregnant with the dragon heir means there are extra layers of protection, otherwise the concubines in the harem would never let Aunt Yao go.
Bei Lingyao was awake. She knew Xiao Linzi was outside, but she didn't say anything.
He just looked at the robe wrapped around him casually, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
She swallowed the twin pill directly and decided to have twins, a boy and a girl.
The Mid-Autumn Festival banquet had not yet ended, but in an empty palace in the Imperial Garden, the Empress Dowager and Prime Minister Jiang were caught in bed.
Everyone was shocked!
When Emperor Yanxing arrived, Princess Yuzhao was hysterically yelling at Prime Minister Jiang, "Jiang Shilin, you actually lied to me, saying you didn't want to marry me because the Emperor was afraid of your power, but you committed adultery with the Queen Mother. Are you worthy of my years of devoted companionship and my protection? I have sacrificed so much for you, how could you let me down?"
Wow!
The onlookers did not expect that there would be the story of Princess Yu Zhao.
Everyone was shocked. Not to mention the Empress Dowager, who was the virtuous concubine of the previous emperor and became the Empress Dowager thanks to the Emperor's good fortune.
Prime Minister Jiang’s wife passed away the year before last, and a month later, Princess Yuzhao’s husband passed away.
Seeing that Princess Yu Zhao and Prime Minister Jiang were also entangled, everyone was terrified.
Prime Minister Jiang was having an affair with both the Queen Mother and the princess.
Not to mention that he canceled a marriage before passing the imperial examination, married an adopted sister before becoming the top scholar, and after passing the imperial examination, he caused a dispute between the prime minister's wife and her sisters, and then there was the news that the courtesan jumped into the river.
Prime Minister Jiang was a popular figure when he was young, and he is still the same now that he is old.
I didn't expect that the Queen Mother was involved in this.
With Princess Yuzhao's disturbance, the Empress Dowager and Prime Minister Jiang were immediately killed.
As for the fact that the emperor was not the empress dowager's biological son, it was ignored by everyone for a while.
The Zongzheng ordered Prince Zhan to directly demand severe punishment.
This matter was too terrible. Once it got out, the reputation of the royal family and the court would be greatly affected.
After all, the prime minister is the head of all civil officials and officials.
The Empress Dowager is the concubine of the previous emperor and the mother of the current monarch.
Princess Yuzhao is the late emperor's biological sister.
So at this moment, the expressions of the princes and princesses of the royal family were vicious.
Although it is a royal scandal, their clan and the royal family are both blood-related royal families.
When one prospers, all prosper; when one suffers, all suffer.
She was extremely disgusted with Prime Minister Jiang and the Empress Dowager for ruining the reputation of the royal family.
No matter how cunning and calm the Empress Dowager and Prime Minister Jiang were, being caught in the act of adultery was too sudden and they didn't know how to respond for a moment.
This was not the first time that the two of them had acted like this in the palace. They were usually guarded by their personal guards and had kept it a secret for many years. Today, they drank a few more glasses and couldn't help themselves, so they became careless.
The Empress Dowager and Prime Minister Jiang naturally suspected that they were being plotted against.
Especially the empress dowager, she was clearly plotting against the emperor, but she was the one who was embarrassed.
Under the protection of Prime Minister Jiang, the Queen Mother quickly fastened her clothes and calmed herself down. "Prime Minister Jiang and I have been drugged. Imperial Physician Liu and Imperial Physician Li, please come forward and take our pulses and carefully investigate everything in the room."
"Since we're investigating, naturally all the doctors should be investigated together. Everyone knows that Doctor Liu and Doctor Li are your people."
Princess Yuzhao hated the Queen Mother so much at this time. She didn't want to believe that Prime Minister Jiang had betrayed her. She just thought that it was the Queen Mother who seduced Prime Minister Jiang.
With Princess Yuzhao taking the lead, there is no need for Emperor Yanxing to step forward.
A group of imperial physicians came forward to check the pulses of the Empress Dowager and Prime Minister Jiang, and inspected the house, but they could not find any medicinal properties.
boom!
Prime Minister Jiang's face was gloomy, and the Queen Mother was staggering, her eyes rolled back, and she fainted completely.
Prime Minister Jiang also wanted to faint, but he was unusually sober at this moment, facing the angry, hateful... gloating eyes.
It’s over!
Prime Minister Jiang rolled his eyes and fell straight down.
"father"
Concubine Jiang rushed over, her clothes were disheveled and there were scars on her face. She had fought with the Queen. When she heard about Prime Minister Jiang and the Queen Mother, she rushed over immediately.
Everyone was stunned when they saw Concubine Jiang like this.
Emperor Yanxing frowned, "The Imperial Concubine has failed to behave properly. Take her away quickly."
Concubine Jiang looked at Emperor Yanxing in surprise, then said aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, it was the Empress who hit me. I beg Your Majesty to make the decision for me."
"Drag him away."
Emperor Yanxing looked at the face that looked like Prime Minister Jiang and felt extremely disgusted.
At that moment, two eunuchs stepped forward, grabbed Concubine Jiang, covered her mouth and dragged her away.
At this time, no one spoke for Concubine Jiang. As the legitimate daughter of Prime Minister Jiang, Concubine Jiang was famous for her bullying and arrogance.
The Queen was smart enough not to show up, otherwise her identity as the Queen Mother's niece would have been embarrassing enough.
After the palace banquet, although the officials and their families were kept silent, the news still spread privately.
The next day, memorials impeaching the Empress Dowager and Prime Minister Jiang were flying everywhere.
The royal family even urged the abolition of the empress dowager's position and the enthronement of Emperor Yanxing's biological mother as empress dowager.
The Empress Dowager was not the Empress of the previous Emperor, but only a noble concubine of the previous Emperor. She had brought her concubine's sister into the palace to have a surrogate mother and bear a child.
After discovering that his concubine's sister was pregnant, he angered the pregnant favorite concubine of the previous emperor and was confined to his house for one year for the crime of plotting to murder the imperial heir.
Three months later, the late emperor took the empress dowager and most of the harem to escape the summer heat.
When he returned, the empress dowager's concubine sister had died.
The empress dowager, who was faking pregnancy, gave birth to a son prematurely, who was Emperor Yanxing.
Emperor Yanxing looked somewhat like the empress dowager and also somewhat like the late emperor, so no one had ever doubted his background.
However, the Empress Dowager did not receive a promotion from the late emperor, and the birth of Emperor Yanxing was not taken seriously by the late emperor.
It was also because the previous emperor was seriously ill and the princes suffered heavy losses in the fight for the throne that the empress dowager took advantage of the situation and ascended the throne with the young Emperor Yanxing, becoming the regent empress dowager.
Now the royal family demands the abolition of the empress dowager's honored position, and no court officials object.
No one from the Queen Mother's party showed up.
On that day, two edicts were issued from Taiji Palace.
First, the empress dowager's honorable position was abolished, she was demoted to a commoner, and sent to Huangjue Temple.
Second, his biological mother, Li Cairen, was posthumously named the empress of the late emperor.
When Li Shuren woke up in Huangjue Temple and learned about the two imperial edicts, he fainted again.
As for Prime Minister Jiang, he is still under house arrest. If he were not afraid of being dealt with together with others, which would cause people all over the world to speculate and imagine, Prime Minister Jiang would have been dealt with long ago.
Emperor Yanxing took the opportunity to purge the power of the Empress Dowager and Prime Minister Jiang in the court and further consolidate the imperial power.
Bei Lingyao seemed to have been forgotten. Emperor Yanxing did not deal with the harem, nor did he come to the garden again, nor did he express any opinion to Bei Lingyao.
"Aunt Yao, don't worry. The emperor is busy these days and will definitely remember you."
Xiao Linzi was afraid that Bei Lingyao would think too much, so he comforted her every day.
Bei Lingyao smiled slightly. She was not in a hurry and not worried at all.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host on being one month pregnant...]
