The Beloved Imperial Consort

"Why is it wrong, Uncle Wang can just say it." Yuan Chengdi saw that Prince Yi was hesitating to speak, and he knew something was wrong.

"This... Your Majesty, among the three characters, except for the first one which is written by a female official, the other two are all written by Mrs. Mu."

"What?" The Queen Mother was shocked. Turning back suddenly, staring at the person standing next to him with a pale face.

"It's a bastard!" Empress Dowager Jin yelled.

Can Mrs. Mu be by your side? Does this mean that Emperor Yuan Cheng took his daughter-in-law forcibly, or that Zong Zhenglin usurped the throne and rebelled? No matter which one, as long as the Queen Mother Jin thought about it, she couldn't help getting dizzy with anger. If such a scandal that disregarded human relations happened, how could she live up to the earnest entrustment of the late emperor?

Everyone in the main hall was dumbfounded. According to the calculation of the supervisor, it was obviously contradictory and very different. One has evil spirits in auspiciousness, and the other has extremely precious fate. What's even more absurd is that the concubine of His Highness the Sixth Prince wants to accompany the king forever? Wanting to understand the pass, I was so frightened that I fell silent. Just this one sentence, not only the life of the dog official is in danger, but even the people under his seat will make Emperor Yuan Cheng feel like a stick in his throat.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, spare your life. This is absolutely impossible, absolutely impossible! How can one person have two fates? It must be that the side concubine had planned it long ago and tried to get rid of the crime."

"You bastard with no eyes! This king personally supervised, and I also handed over the two pieces of rice paper to Gu Changde. Are you saying that this king has lost his virtue and helped the Namu family to cheat?" Prince Yi pointed and knelt down and cried out people, flew into a rage.

"Can you question the identity of Prince Yi?" Emperor Yuan Cheng's face was gloomy, looking at the trembling person below, his murderous intentions were already evident.

"Your Majesty... here," Si Tianjian wiped his sweat in fright, and hurriedly made amends, "I would like to report to the Emperor, there is a mistake in this calculation, maybe it is because the side concubine's fate is mysterious and different from others. I did not make any mistakes in my initial calculations, which shows that the calculation of fortunes on that day was not empty-handed. Please also learn from the emperor."

The Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment pondered for a while, and got up to report, "Your Majesty, it is a great ability for me to be able to measure two or three points in the matter of fortune. What he said was not entirely reasonable, or there were mistakes. But it could not completely overthrow the deduction made by Jianzheng that day. Now it seems that what Jianzheng said on that day, that the side concubine and concubine Liu have conflicting fates, is not good for the clan. Whether it is right or wrong, it is possible. How can the side concubine prove that it must be wrong?"

"Yes, yes." The prisoner grasped at the straw and kowtowed vigorously.

"Don't be impatient." Mu Xiyao chuckled, "This concubine's test is only to prove that your calculations are not reliable."

Emperor Yuan Cheng and the Empress Dowager hesitated as soon as they were not sure about this fortune-telling theory. But no matter what happens to the Mu family, those who dare to open their mouths to speculate about the imperial palace will surely die.

Zong Zhenglin saw that Emperor Yuan Cheng softened his attitude towards Mu Xiyao, and his long and narrow phoenix eyes were shining brightly.

Being framed by the most undeniable fate, in a desperate situation, but still able to handle it with ease, Mu Xiyao's skills are really good, and she has lived up to her husband's praises.

"Your Majesty, I believe that fortune-telling matters should be trusted rather than ignored." The supervisor took the opportunity to kneel down and speak. If Mu's family is not taken down today, catastrophe will come. Thinking of the ruthless style of the people behind him, I was terrified.

"You don't have to be alarmist, you can't be in a hurry to kill my concubine." Mu Xiyao stood up leisurely, looking at the struggling man with all her contempt.

It's downright stupid! If Emperor Yuan Cheng could let him go, it wouldn't be worth her fear.

"Guanqi is the basic in fortune-telling, but you are still reluctant. Why talk about appearance? I don't make it difficult for you today. After the master returns to Beijing, he will rectify his concubine's name."

The queen mother was puzzled when she heard what she said with certainty. Could it be that Zong Zhenglin has found the abbot of Anguo Temple?

"Lao Liu, have you found the master's trace?" Yuan Chengdi also asked this question. Why didn't you report the news of the master?

Zong Zhenglin glanced at Mu Xiyao, nodded indifferently, "Of course! I just found out the news this morning. It will take a few days to escort the master back to Beijing."

Although no report was received, since Mu Xiyao said she was in Lushui, she believed her.

Emperor Yuan Cheng and the Empress Dowager looked at each other and nodded, the master returned to Beijing, and the case was settled.

"Your Majesty, since Master will return to Beijing in a few days, will the case be postponed for retrial?" Minister of Criminal Affairs asked Emperor Yuan Cheng for his opinion. In his view, it is best to be able to finalize the decision. It is better than the current specious and stalemate between the two sides.

Helian Minmin lowered his head and tightly clenched his hands on his knees.

How could things be so twists and turns! Master returned to Beijing, maybe he could let Mu Xiyao escape from death, so could he just let her go on like this?

He Lian Min Min looked at Lord He Lian who was sitting behind the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, anxiously sitting on pins and needles.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Liu can afford to wait, but the imperial heir in her belly can't last long." Concubine De saw the wind direction change, she hurriedly spoke out to stop it.

The imperial concubine was secretly plotting, if not to kill Mu Shi today, she must be taken down. As for Master Anguo Temple... what else can a dead person do?

"What does Empress De Fei mean, that the lives of the side concubines and heirs of this hall can be judged rashly?"

Zong Zhenglin's face was condensed, and he questioned him bluntly.

Emperor Yuan Cheng tapped a few cases with his right hand, which was obviously a trade-off.

"Report to the emperor, whether this case is framed or not, there is no need to delay, the truth will be revealed today."

While everyone was waiting for Emperor Yuan Cheng's decision, Mu Xiyao, who should have kept silent the most, spoke out abruptly.

"Oh?" Emperor Yuan Cheng paused. "Do you have a way to clear yourself up?"

Mu Xiyao turned her head to look at Zong Zhenglin, only to see the man sitting upright, his face sinking like water. It seems that she is dissatisfied with her self-assertion and causing trouble again.

It's funny in my heart, boss, you just need to rest assured to watch the show, and I will immediately seek justice for your son. Thinking of Chengqing's cute little face, Mu Xiyao hated the person who framed her fate.

"If you go back to the emperor, you only need to give the servant a quarter of an hour, and the matter will be clear at a glance."

Mu Xiyao spoke forcefully and with full confidence.

A quarter of an hour? Emperor Yuan Cheng raised his eyebrows, which was quite playful. How dare you say something so life-threatening? It's up to her to see what she's capable of.

"allow!"

The crown prince and the first prince had a straight posture, and a stern look flashed across their eyes. A mere weak girl who dared to speak wild words, she simply didn't know how to live or die. Yuqian boasted that if he couldn't do it later, it would be a crime of deceiving the emperor.

Mu Xiyao was not in a hurry, and after a respectful salute, she slowly sat back on the soft stool and spoke eloquently.

"The Great Wei Dynasty has been passed down for thousands of years, and the world recognizes that there are two strange women. After the founding emperor, Her Majesty Empress Xian'an Shengwu. Since she was thirteen years old, she married Wei Gaozong, who was still the Marquis of Anyuan. She has supported and followed her all the way, and never left her. During the twenty-seven years of hard times, when Emperor Gaozong ruled the world and created the Great Wei, he could enjoy family relationships and retreat to the deep palace. Until later, Emperor Gaozong became seriously ill and was bedridden. He returned to supervise the country and dedicated himself. Gaozong said, Empress Shengwu has no regrets in her life."

Mu Xiyao looked admiring and solemn. This woman's whole life is a legend. For Gao Zong's great cause, she personally went to the battlefield and killed countless enemies. However, due to injuries, he could not bear children. Not only did he not suppress the concubines, but he was extremely generous in the harem, keeping eleven adult princes for Gaozong, with a big heart.

Mu Xiyao once wondered if it was the time-traveling senior who dominated the show, but after careful investigation, she found out that she underestimated the world. This woman is indeed commendable, she was unparalleled in the world at that time, and all people admired her. As a native of Great Wei, Mu Xiyao felt that this woman was much stronger than herself. Just those eleven adult princes are not something she, Mu Xiyao, can accommodate.

Emperor Yuan Cheng originally thought that she would take advantage of the victory to catch up with Si Tianjian's mistakes and omissions to overturn the case, but he didn't want the next development to be unexpected. After Mrs. Mu sat down, he started another conversation, talking about it from left to right. Although she speaks sincerely and respects Empress Shengwu, what does it have to do with this case?

While I was in a daze, I heard the voiceless voice of a woman.

"In addition to Her Majesty the founding queen, there is another wonderful woman who is famous and memorable in the history of the Great Wei Dynasty." Mu Xiyao smiled lightly, looking forward to her appearance. But the eyes are full of light, and the edge is compelling.

"Master Gan, do you know who it is?"
