356, The Duke's Daughter Divorced Her Husband on the Day of Her Wedding 2
The queen was standing outside and heard the emperor venting his grievances against her mother's family, the Duke of Qin's Mansion. Did they need to be punished? Was it time to punish them? She felt cold in her heart and was frightened. Her pregnant belly began to twitch and hurt.
She had always disdained the life of palace fighting among a group of women in the deep palace. Thinking that the emperor wanted to deal with her, what would happen to her unborn child?
The more the queen thought about it, the more frightened she became. She thought she had a miscarriage and was going to give birth prematurely.
The queen was enduring labor pains and did not want her child to be implicated, so she wanted to find a way for her child to survive.
He made a decision on the spot and had someone find a dead baby outside the palace and secretly send it into the palace.
She secretly replaced her newly born eldest prince with a dead baby and sent the eldest prince to the Qin Duke's Mansion outside the palace.
After the birth, the nanny beside the queen held the dead baby and announced that the queen was frightened and had a difficult delivery, and the eldest prince she gave birth to with difficulty was a stillbirth.
The emperor ran to the queen's palace drunkenly and fainted on the spot when he heard that the queen had given birth to a stillborn baby.
At the Duke of Qin's mansion, Duke Qin heard that someone had come from the Queen's palace, and hurriedly took the ball of cloth in his hand, and it turned out to be the eldest prince who had just been born by the Queen.
The eldest prince, who was holding the newly born child of the queen's sister, was stunned. After listening to the oral account of the whole story by the queen's confidant who was sent to deliver the child, he decided to listen to the queen and hide the eldest prince.
Finally, the emperor sobered up and knew nothing.
The queen waited anxiously for a while, but was not banished to the cold palace, and she became much more sober.
Although she felt regretful in her heart, the eldest prince was obviously a dead baby, and she felt that it would be a blessing for her son to grow up outside the palace. If her son had the same idea as her, he might also hate this cannibalistic palace.
The wife of the Duke of Qin was also pregnant and about to give birth. A few days later, she gave birth safely to a baby girl.
The Duke of Qin immediately announced that his wife had given birth to twins, a boy and a girl, the older one was a boy and the younger one was a girl.
He named his eldest son Qin Heng and his daughter Qin Xiuxiu.
In this way, the eldest prince, as the son of twins, grew up in the Duke of Qin's Mansion.
……
More than ten years later, the incident actually happened.
It all started with an old eunuch in the palace who got drunk and boasted that he heard the eldest prince born to the queen cry out. In the end, he was frightened to death on the spot after seeing the devil-like appearance of the virtuous concubine.
The old eunuch was an ordinary eunuch in the palace of Concubine Xian in his early years. Just because he was a little slow in serving tea, Concubine Xian took it out on him and sent him back to the Eunuch Bureau.
The Eunuch Bureau was best at reading the expressions of the nobles in the palace. Concubine Xian was a favored concubine, so the old eunuch was immediately sent to pour night incense in the various palaces.
The old eunuch had been drinking wine for more than ten years and hated Concubine Xian deeply. In his eyes, Concubine Xian was more vicious than a demon. When he was drunk, he thought that his whole life was ruined by Concubine Xian, so he wanted to slander Concubine Xian.
What's more, not all his words were false.
When the emperor heard about this, he deeply regretted not being able to have a child with the queen and became concerned about it.
People were sent to capture the old eunuch and interrogate him carefully.
The old eunuch's face was covered with wrinkles, but he felt no guilt and immediately exaggerated the story of how the virtuous concubine had frightened the eldest prince to death.
The truth of the matter is pretty much the same.
On the day the queen gave birth, the eldest prince had just come out of his mother's womb. Although he was born a few days prematurely, he was very strong and his cry was crisp and loud.
The old eunuch was in the Queen's palace at the time, and the convenience of pouring night incense was only this. It was legitimate to go to any palace, and no one cared about a small person like him.
The old eunuch clearly heard the baby's crisp cry at that time. When Concubine Xian arrived at the Queen's palace, she heard that the Queen had given birth to a stillborn baby.
The wicked Concubine was not the murderer of the eldest prince. Although the old eunuch did not dare to say it out loud, he thought so in his heart.
The emperor was a little confused. The eldest prince was killed by the virtuous concubine, so why did the queen say that the baby she gave birth to was a stillbirth?
sorry.
Keep checking.
When the queen gave birth, the people around her were all her confidants, but things were done too hastily and loopholes were found.
The palace gate was indeed opened on the day the queen gave birth.
The queen said she had sent someone to report the news.
Can't we go after the palace gate is open?
The queen said perfunctorily that she was anxious at the time and was eager to see her family.
The queen refused to acknowledge it in the palace.
Concubine Xian also didn't want to believe that if the eldest prince born to the queen was still alive, then the eldest prince she gave birth to would become the second prince.
When the emperor appoints a crown prince, he places great importance on establishing the eldest son or the legitimate wife as the crown prince.
The prince she gave birth to originally occupied the position of the eldest prince and had the highest support in the court.
If the queen's son were still alive, and was the eldest and heir, and took away all her son's positions, how could she be willing to accept that?
The virtuous concubine first persuaded the emperor to stop the investigation, saying that the queen had said that she gave birth to a stillborn baby, and as a mother she would not make a mistake, so he should just listen to the queen.
The emperor did remember the old eunuch's words about the eldest prince born by the queen having a clear and crisp cry. He hoped that the eldest prince born by the queen was still alive.
The emperor married the empress when he was still a prince, and they had an emotional foundation for their friendship as they struggled together in the prince's mansion.
The queen felt regretful for not giving him a legitimate son.
When the queen was pregnant, he was looking forward to having his first legitimate son.
Now the child may still be alive, his legitimate son is still alive, and he is happy in his heart.
The old eunuch in the palace said that the eldest prince was alive when he was born, but was killed by Concubine Xian.
The virtuous concubine had accompanied him to the place where the queen gave birth, so she had no chance to take action.
The emperor's people finally found out that there might be something wrong with the twins born to the Duke of Qin's wife. At that time, the Duke of Qin's wife looked normal with her big belly, and the imperial physician had never diagnosed her with twins, so it was impossible that she was pregnant with twins.
The most suspicious person in Duke Qin's Mansion is Qin Heng, and Qin Heng's identity has been questioned.
The midwife from that time was also found and confessed that the wife of the Duke of Qin had indeed only given birth to a daughter.
Qin Heng's identity could no longer be concealed.
Duke Qin simply admitted all the guilt and explained everything that happened that year in detail.
The emperor's face turned blue. Was it his fault that he was drunk and talking nonsense?
The virtuous concubine was really a demon. She seduced him into drinking and talking nonsense.
The Emperor wanted to punish Duke Qin's Mansion, but Concubine Xian jumped out to cause trouble.
It is said that if the prince grows up outside the palace, there is a possibility that he will be replaced by someone else, or that he will be the prince replaced by someone else.
The emperor summoned Qin Heng to the palace to meet him. The child looked like Duke Qin. No wonder no one suspected that he was not the Duke Qin's child.
The virtuous concubine took a look at Qin Heng in secret and found that he did not look much like the emperor, but more like a member of the Qin family.
Another dark and vicious plot emerged.
He bribed the eunuch and told the emperor a story about a housewife who had an affair after marriage and gave her child to its father.
