The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

Chapter 1186 Question

"Where is Mr. Lang?"

Princess Hong'an didn't want to get entangled with Concubine Cen over a piece of paper: "If Lang wants to confront, she can come to the Dali Temple in person. Even if I ask Yongping to testify against her in person, it won't be a problem.

If Yongping is truly guilty, I will not be able to protect him; but if you want to use this piece of paper to accuse Yongping, then don’t blame me for denying it.”

"Lang knew that she had offended you and Yongping by giving away this sealed letter. You and your daughter have always been valued by the emperor. She thought she could not compete with you, so she felt guilty, put down the letter, and left Da Chu with her two sons."

Concubine Cen spoke the truth without any intention of hiding anything.

But it was her sincere words that made Princess Hong'an jealous.

"You are such a cunning old lady, Cen!" Princess Hong'an was so angry that her forehead swelled and her temples throbbed. It took her a long time to calm down. With shaking hands, she pointed at Concubine Cen and shouted angrily, "You are so cunning!"

After she finished speaking, without waiting for the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple in the hall to remind her to be careful with her words, she looked at the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple who had picked up the gavel.

"Nan Siqing, haven't you figured it out yet? She's trying to kill two birds with one stone and get away with it!"

"Ah, so?" The Dali Temple official rubbed his forehead. "I wonder what bird the concubine hit with her stone?"

  "The identities of the two sons of the Lang family were jointly investigated and confirmed by clan members, internal guards and local government offices! Not to mention that the two boys looked exactly like Prince Jing. With such evidence, how could Cen deny them?

You begged the Emperor to take the two young men out of the palace, and then you sent the mother and son out of the palace, and now you are plotting against me and Yongping? What? Do you really think that if I and Yongping fall, you, the Prince Jing's Mansion, can come out on top?"

Concubine Cen was scolded by Princess Hong'an, but she was neither angry nor annoyed. She took the genealogy of Prince Jing's Mansion from her attendant and threw it to Princess Hong'an to read: "Ms. Lang and her two sons have been removed from the genealogy; the clan genealogy and the royal jade book from the previous emperor's time have completely erased their records, and the old woman has written the reasons herself. In addition to the explanation, she also signed and sealed it as evidence. This certificate has now been kept in the archives of the clan office. If you are not satisfied, you can go to the clan leader to ask for clarification now or later." Princess Hong'an hurriedly opened the booklet, only to see that the names of the three members of the Lang family were indeed deleted. Her lips trembled.

"Cen! You are so deliberate... You would rather let the Jingwang Mansion be abolished because there is no heir, and let me and Yongping never stand up! Where does such hatred come from?!"

"Where did it come from?!" Only then did Concubine Cen reveal a sad look.

She raised her arm tremblingly and pointed to the sky: "Hongan! You swear in front of your uncle, Emperor Chengyuan, in front of your conscience, and in front of the clear justice of heaven that the assassination of Xianjing and the emperor has nothing to do with Yongping?!

The Lu family, the Lang family, the Yongping family, the Qianqi He family, the Qizhou Wen family... all of these things are completely unrelated. Can you believe it?"

“It is understandable that the Lang family hates the Jiang family of Great Chu for a reason. No matter what evil the Lang family did when they were entrenched in the local area, it was my son who attacked the Lang family members. What he did afterwards was nothing but revenge!

  The He family of the Former Qi hated the Great Chu because it was a national and family feud. Regardless of whether it was the fault of the Former Qi, he had his reasons.

The Wen family of Qizhou assisted him, but it was only out of the friendship between the monarch and his subjects in the past.

Humph, the Lu family hates the Great Chu. After all, it was the Great Chu court that exiled their clan. Regardless of whether they deserved it or not, it’s just a difference in their positions.

  But what about Yongping? What about you Hongan? !

You and your daughter only thought that the Chu State replaced the Chen State, and that the world was handed over to the Jiang State by your Zhen family! But you didn't think that your father couldn't even protect himself. If it weren't for the protection of Emperor Xiancheng Yuan, you, a swaddled baby, would have been nowhere to be found! How could you talk about these decades of glory!

  Did Yongping think that he could feel at ease and dream of the throne just because he didn't take any direct action?

Haha, crazy thoughts!

As long as the old woman is still alive, Yongping will get the punishment she deserves!"
