C284 The Truth of Consort Lan's Secret
The palace. Yu Longchen and Yu Longzi stood side by side, looking at the dark night. Their faces were filled with worry.
"Do you dare?" Yu Longzi looked at Yu Longchen provocatively. He was wearing black clothes, and it was hard to tell what he was wearing under the night sky.
"What a joke." Yu Longchen snorted disdainfully. The hidden guards in the dark became restless. As long as Yu Longzi made any move, they would rush out.
"After listening, don't lose control of your emotions. Otherwise, I really overestimated you." Yu Longzi was the first to walk in. In the room, there was a palace maid curled up in a corner.
"Heh, is she related to that year? Do you think I am a three year old child?" Yu Longchen looked at the 15-16 looking palace maid with a hint of anger.
"Are you going to ask her yourself?" Yu Longzi had searched for a long time before finding this person. Again! He managed to get a few words from the Empress before calling Yu Longchen over. "Who said that the person who knew about what happened back then must have gotten older?"
"Tell me about it." Yu Longchen frowned and took a few steps forward. He glanced at Yu Longzi out of the corner of his eye. If the expression in his eyes was not bad, then this palace maid... It was Yu Longtang who asked Yu Longzi to find her. Now, she only needed to accompany Yu Longzi to perform well.
Yu Longzi only knew that the background of this palace maid was not simple, but as long as she could be used, what was there to be afraid of? Could it be that he did not even have confidence in a palace maid?
"This servant does not know anything." The palace maid's head was buried in her knees and her body was covered in blood. Her clothes were torn in several places, "This servant does not know..."
She was tortured and interrogated. Yu Longchen raised his eyebrows. This was a good opportunity. He turned around and was about to leave but was stopped by Yu Longzi. "Where are you going? It's not easy to come to the truth. Don't you want to hear it? "
"More than half of the information was forced out by torture." Yu Longchen was expressionless. If Yu Longzi wanted to overthrow him, he would not let him go. He would push Yu Longzi out of the competition for the throne.
"What about the other half of the truth?" Yu Longzi's black pupils were deep as he looked at Yu Longchen's side profile. Sometimes, he really suspected that Ruoqing and this palace maid... It was Yu Longchen who placed them in front of him, but why would Yu Longchen use Royal Mother's to set him up?
"Alright." Yu Longchen turned around again. "Let's wait and see what Eldest Prince can make her say."
"Someone come." Yu Longzi raised his right hand, and a guard handed him a whip.
The whip hit the wall beside the palace maid, scaring the palace maid so much that she cried out and trembled in fear.
"I'll speak, I'll speak!" The palace maid knelt on the ground and crawled a few steps, only to see the blood that was dragged to the ground, "This servant was instructed by Ping Guangyi to investigate Consort Lan's secret many years ago."
Hearing this, no matter how Yu Longchen pretended to be curious and afraid, Yu Longzi was still satisfied with his reaction.
"Deceased emperor's rule is not strict, the Dayong's national power is weak, and the Yunmeng Country is breaking its boundaries. Luckily, the soldiers of the Duke of Ling's family managed to keep the Dayong safe. Knowing that the Emperor has ascended the throne, in order to consolidate his throne, the daughter of the Ling Family was the current Empress. The Emperor was wise and had been in power for seven to eight years. The power of Dayong had increased greatly, but if he used all of his power... It was still not enough to resist the alliance of the Yunmeng Country and the other barbarians.
When Consort Lan and Your Ladyship were in trouble, the north of Dayong was flooded with water and the south was in a drought. The treasury could not make ends meet, and the civilians could not make ends meet. At this time, Yunmeng Country had allied with the other barbarians to attack Dayong.
Dayong was originally a place of life and death, but the Emperor did not know why. He sent Consort Lan, who he doted on the most, out of the Palace. Seven days later, Consort Lan was sent back. During those seven days, the Emperor of Yunmeng Country had a series of accidents. He almost lost his life, while those few barbarians were sweating. They retreated without knowing the reason for their deaths.
A month later, after the Emperor took care of the national affairs, he secretly ordered Consort Lan to be poisoned to death. He heard that Consort Lan Your Ladyship's last words before her death were the death of the Imperial Mausoleum. Her power was not on the same level as the Emperor. When King Chu was weak, Consort Lan's records were erased by the Emperor from the family tree." The palace maid said in one breath but her hands could not stop trembling.
"Where was Royal Mother sent to? Unable to say it, This King will let your head fall to the ground on the spot." Even though he knew it was fake, Yu Longchen couldn't control the anger in his heart.
"Consort Lan was taken away by a few men. When she was sent back, she was also a man. Riding on the palanquin... no matter how specific this servant is, this servant will not know." The palace maid hurriedly kowtowed. She had already said everything that needed to be said. There should not be a need to die," There is one more thing. When Consort Lan Your Ladyship died, she was pregnant for a month. "
"What?!" Yu Longchen could not help being shocked. He had never known that there was such a thing. He clenched his teeth so hard that they almost broke. "Impossible!"
"Do you really think that I will use this to deceive you?" Yu Longzi saw his sad look and felt secretly pleased in his heart. However, he also felt sad for him. "It was mother who told me about Consort Lan's death and pregnancy. I can't be wrong."
"How can the Empress's words be trusted!" Yu Longchen's eyes were bloodshot as he stared at Yu Longzi.
"Then can Consort Long believe it? She is the one who supports Royal Father the most in this matter!"
"It is fake, it is all fake! If Royal Father knew Royal Mother was pregnant, how could he be so heartless?! That's the woman he loves the most. "
" Not everyone is like you, who would rather have a beauty than a country! " Yu Longzi was also angry. They were all going to do this. He still had to take off his clothes for others. He grabbed Yu Longchen's clothes. "The truth that you have been searching for is right in front of you. Why don't you believe me again? "
Yu Longchen didn't know whether his current appearance was fake or real. Did Yu Longtang really say that to this palace maid? Didn't the palace maid already discuss the contents? Why was there such a huge difference from the original discussion?
"Do you know why Consort Long now views you as a thorn in her side?" Yu Longzi let go of him. Seeing his absent-minded look, he said a few more words, "Consort Long directly caused your Royal Mother to die."
Yu Longchen only felt his mind go blank. He did not expect a sentence to refute him. In just a moment, he heard heavy footsteps outside.
The two of their hidden guards moved. Without Mistress's orders, they did not dare to move and maintained a relative balance.
A trace of uneasiness slid across Yu Longzi's heart. Before he went out to take a look, he heard Commander of Praetorian Guard's voice at the door, "Eldest Prince, King Chu, the Emperor summons."
Yu Longzi and Yu Longchen's expressions were rarely the same, but their thoughts were different.
He had clearly done it flawlessly, but why did the Emperor find out so quickly?
Yu Longchen entering the Palace was a very secretive matter. He and Yu Longtang had planned this matter only to delay Yu Longzi, so why was he summoned? It could only be that Yu Longtang had told the Emperor about his whereabouts.
The moment he opened the door, Yu Longzi knew that he had been fooled. He had fallen into the trap of Yu Longchen and Yu Longtang. At the same time, he regretted that he had fallen into Yu Longchen's trap. At the same time, he wondered why Yu Longchen had also...
"King Chu, below the palace. He followed the official for a while." The commander was respectful towards the two of them and sent another two people to drag the palace maids out.
