Chapter 240 Getting Attention
Fortunately, the waiting time was not too long. It has been half a month since entering Beijing.

At the beginning of February, the news that the eldest brother and the second brother were going to Beijing finally came.

Chang Xi couldn't help but sigh with emotion, walking by water is really slow.

Cao Wu has already recuperated. Although they are confined in a small courtyard, surrounded by countless secret sentries, there is an old man who is righteous and righteous to help outside.

Things turned around this morning.

Prince Zhao brought Cao Jingxiu into the palace to receive an order to thank him. Cao Wu and Chang Xi were called to the main courtyard, and they entered the palace together with the side concubine, the third lady and others.

She didn't know the difference until she met the emperor.

It turned out that Cao Jingxiu broke all the boats and brought the old things to the emperor directly. The murder of a royal family's son was originally a major case.

The sufferer was right in front of him, and the emperor stated that he would definitely investigate and punish severely, that's why everyone gathered in the palace.

He had already told the emperor all about what happened to him when he was a child. After Cao Wu and Chang Xi went to the palace, it was Cao Wu who always answered the phone and explained clearly the clues he had found over the years.

"When Princess Zhao was alive, she was kind to Caomin's family, so Caomin was willing to serve the son to grow up. The son was pushed into the water and the murderer committed suicide. There is no way to find out who is behind the scenes."

"I thought the clue was broken, but Caomin noticed that the child who approached the son was a Taoist priest, and he happened to be the one who made great achievements for the princess."

"There is no absolute coincidence in the world. Cao Min followed the vines and found out that the side concubine is suspected of having people make up lies to frame the son-in-law's Bazi Kemu."

In the end, he looked at the side concubine who plopped down on her knees and shouted for innocence.

"You don't have to rush to deny it. I dare to say this, and there are naturally witnesses."

Chang Xi saw the frightened expression of the side concubine.

Cao Wugong continued: "The side concubine is very thoughtful, in order to be safe, she even sent someone to put Gao Gong's family under house arrest."

"As his son was used and lost his life, the priest was terrified. The side concubine sent someone to take his life, but I carefully rescued him and put him in secret. The side concubine didn't expect him to be alive, right?"

The Son of Heaven asked, "Where is the man?"

"As the saying goes, it's dark under the lights, so I'll stay in the suburbs of Beijing, and I'll know when I call to confront each other."

Cao Wu's full preparation did not give the side concubine a chance to prepare at all.

Immediately send someone to look for it, Gao Gong has already fainted once before entering the hall.When he came in, his legs were so weak that he couldn't stand up straight, and he needed to be supported.

Seeing how timid he is, he has no ability to lie at all.

Between question and answer, the content of the conversation confirmed Cao Wu's speculation.

The truth has been revealed to all, and believe it or not, this is the truth.

King Zhao was dumbfounded. He was immersed in sadness at the beginning, when a little bit of wind blew into his ears, he didn't think about it carefully. He thought Gao Gong's words were good that day, and he didn't think about the ulterior motives behind it, let alone the person next to his pillow. It's a poisonous woman.

He opened his mouth in astonishment, he wanted to say a thousand words, but seeing Cao Jingxiu's extremely disappointed eyes, he couldn't say anything, any words seemed pale and powerless in front of the truth.

The side concubine never thought that one day bad things would be revealed, and she was completely defeated, so she knelt down to the prince's side and begged with tears in her eyes.

"At that time, I was young and ignorant, and I was so scared afterwards that I always wanted to hide it. Everything I did was because I loved the prince!"

"My lord, for the sake of my concubine's service for many years, can you intercede for me?" After the side concubine finished speaking, her eyes were full of fear, and she looked at the emperor who was seated in the main hall.

She tugged at Prince Zhao's sleeve and cried, "Young master, take him back to the mansion, and I will serve him like a cow and a horse after I die, and I will never do anything foolish again."

"My lord! Help me!"

The emperor in the seat glanced indifferently, and snorted lightly, as if he didn't like people making noise in the hall.

The side concubine and her daughter were scared off by the cold snort.

King Zhao also stood in a stalemate, with his family members on the left and right.

When he didn't know how to express his position, a notice came from the waiter in the hall.

"The Queen Mother is here."

The empress dowager who came over was the biological mother of Prince Zhao and the emperor. The concubine Ling who had raised the emperor died before the emperor ascended the throne and was posthumously named empress dowager. Now this is the only empress dowager in this dynasty.

Feng Yi's posture was very strong, even the emperor who was seated personally stepped down from the dragon chair to pay his respects.

Chang Xi didn't expect that when he traveled here by himself, he would not only meet the chaser, possess supernatural powers, but also feast his eyes on the two most powerful people in ancient times.

The empress dowager has the aura of being a mother, and that aura cannot be supported by clothes. Chang Xi saw the real empress dowager and the emperor for the first time, and was already amazed by their extraordinary aura.

A born king, that's about it.

Her appearance made Cao Wu frowned, and muttered softly: "It's over, I heard that the Queen Mother has a good relationship with the former Queen Mother Ling. She came from the harem, and I'm afraid she is going to intercede for the side concubine."

"Anyway, this side concubine is also the natal family of the Empress Dowager Ling. If I really want to give this face, my son's grievances will be in vain."

Chang Xi doesn't know the secrets of the palace and the entanglement between the two queen dowagers, but she knows that if this matter gets to this point, if they are lifted high and put down gently, Cao Jingxiu will be wronged in vain, even if they are hunted down together. People, too, will be slapped in the face.

Wanting to understand the key point, she saw the needles and checked the conversation between the emperor and the queen mother greeting each other.

"The Son of Heaven and the Empress Dowager are truly mother-child. If they are blessed with this kind of blessing, the daughter of the people really wants to draw this scene and enjoy it slowly."

Chang Xi's words attracted everyone's attention.

The emperor asked curiously, "Little girl, do you know fine brushwork?"

"No, I can only scribble on my own and hide it for appreciation."

Chang Xi smiled and looked at the Queen Mother, and said sincerely: "Your Majesty looks the most kind, you must be an example for all mothers in the world."

What is the identity of the queen mother, she is high and powerful, she enjoys the wealth and honor of the world, and she has listened to many flattery words, and she is full of hype, but she doesn't necessarily say everything to her heart.

But this pretty little girl in front of her amused her with just one word.

Knowing that it was flattery, she was happy to give it a smile. "Little girl, get up and talk."

Chang Xi finally didn't have to kneel anymore, she quickly stood up, rubbed her sore knees, and then met the Queen Mother's probing gaze.

"Why do you say that I am an example of mothers all over the world?"

Everyone likes to listen to good words, but she is so young, and the queen mother insisted on asking her to explain why she flattered her, which was quite embarrassing.

Chang Xi was not stumped by the rhetorical question, she blurted out almost without thinking.

"It can be seen that the Empress Dowager loves her children very much, just like my mother cared for me."

"It's a pity that Minnv hasn't seen her mother for a long time, and she almost never saw her again. Today, I'm lucky enough to see the Queen Mother, just like meeting my mother. It's very kind."

"I miss my mother. The empress dowager can make people's daughters feel like this. It must be that the mother has the same brilliance, which infected me."
