All the ancestors in the capital begged me to be a substitute

The emperor was silent.

The queen mother and empress were also silent.

All the people in the hall who were secretly watching the excitement fell silent.

A natural defect like stuttering shouldn't be made fun of.

Although Concubine Zhao never made fun of Cui Jin, she let Cui Jin, who stutters, to train the birds for fun, which is really wicked.

It has been more than ten years for Cui Jin, and he has never heard anyone say the words "little stammer" in front of others.

I remember that when the eldest princess was just married, the eldest princess was very angry with him because he ruined her marriage, and kicked him out of the new house on the wedding night.

At that time, a servant of the princess mansion laughed at him as a "little stammer" in front of him, and said that he was "a toad who wants to eat swan meat".

When the eldest princess heard this, she ordered the man to be killed with a stick.

Since then, no matter inside or outside the mansion, he has never heard the word "little stutterer".

Cui Jin never expected that when he heard these three words again after many years, it would be like this.

What's more, he didn't expect that the good memories that he treasured in his heart for many years were all because of a starling who couldn't speak.

"No...it's not like that..."

Cui Jin's faith for more than ten years is on the verge of collapse.

He never believed that the truth would be so unbearable.

"Awu... you said, you love, I... you said, you will always remember me, your deep affection and friendship, you also said, you have..."

"shut up!"

Concubine Zhao was terrified, turned her head and scolded loudly, "Everyone in the Duke of Wei's mansion can testify that when I was in the boudoir, I wholeheartedly adored Xinyue Shengshang. The Shengshang is respected by all people because of his martial arts, martial arts, and martial arts. You little stammer, you are just a cowardly, cowardly, obscene and disgusting rat, you can't even compare to a hair of the Holy Majesty, how can I have a crush on you? It's ridiculous!
The emperor's frowning brows were slightly relaxed.

However, the eyes looking at Cui Jin were even colder.

Concubine Zhao's contemptuous words one after another were like knives, piercing into Cui Jin's heart one after another.

All these years, he thought that he was groveling and begging for perfection in front of the eldest princess.

But after careful calculation, except for the time when he was asked to kneel at the door on the wedding night, the eldest princess has given him dignity before and after, and never said a word of disdain to him.

Even in her heart, there was only Liang Qing and no one else.

But now, Cui Jin thinks that the woman who understands him the most, admires him the most, and cherishes him the most in her life treats him like a "rat".

No, he was not even a beast in front of her.

How dare Cui Jin believe this.

"No, what you said is not true...you are just, afraid of being known by the emperor...yes, you are just, afraid..."

Cui Jin looked at Eunuch Chang who shrank aside, like a drowning man grabbing at straws, "Eunuch Chang, you know it, you...can prove, Ah Wu said, that she likes it the most. Me, right?"

If he didn't mention Eunuch Chang, maybe no one would care about Eunuch Chang.

But now, Cui Jin's words made everyone's eyes fall on Eunuch Chang.

Everyone was surprised.

How could the most trusted eunuch in charge of the eldest princess "prove" that Concubine Zhao had an affair with Concubine Cui?

Could it be that the eldest princess can be so generous that the son-in-law will cuckold both her and the emperor?

The emperor seemed to think of something, his expression moved slightly, and his cold and majestic gaze fell on Eunuch Chang's face.

Eunuch Chang was about to lose his soul in fright, his face was ashen and defeated.

It's over, it's all over now.

He thumped and knelt on the ground, "My son-in-law, you are really stunned. This old servant doesn't know anything! These are all your fantasies. This old servant has never even seen the face of a noble concubine, so how could he know these things?"

Eunuch Chang's denial became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Cui Jin finally understood with a painful heart that all of this was a carefully woven scam from beginning to end.

He got close to the eldest princess for the Zhao family, and for more than ten years, he has been planning for the Zhao family, but it is just a joke.

Cui Jin's canthus cracked, and he looked at Eunuch Chang.

Driven by extreme breakdown and monstrous hatred, he didn't even bother to pretend to stutter anymore.

Cui Jin wept blood every word, and said the words that Eunuch Chang said in front of him every day:
"It was you who told me that I have known the imperial concubine since I was a child. I am a childhood sweetheart. The imperial concubine has always admired me. No matter what I look like now, the imperial concubine will only think of me well."

"It's you who said that although I have never met the imperial concubine, every time the Duke's wife visits the imperial concubine, she will ask about my recent situation."

"It's you who said that thanks to my speaking on behalf of the Zhao family and the empress in front of the eldest princess, the emperor has become more and more trusting of the Duke's mansion and the empress."

"It's you who said that the imperial concubine will remember all my deep friendship..."

He clearly remembered every word, and every time he said a sentence, the emperor's eyes became colder.

How dare Eunuch Chang admit this, he interrupted his words hastily, with a high-pitched voice, deliberately making a tone of complete surprise, "My son-in-law, when will your stuttering be cured?"

After he reminded him so, everyone including the emperor was shocked to be able to say so many words in one breath.

It turned out that his stuttering was all fake!
He can even pretend to stutter, so how can he win people's trust in what he says!

"It's not because of you!" How could Cui Jin fail to understand Eunuch Chang's plan, and he said bitterly, "You already knew that my stuttering was cured, but you said that the eldest princess is soft-hearted. , will definitely win her trust. If not, how could I have pretended for so many years!"

"In order to prevent her from marrying Liang Qing, you deliberately designed her to fall into the lake, and I went to the lake to rescue her, so that she had to commit herself to me. Why, after doing such a thing, you dare not admit it now Yet?"

Eunuch Chang never expected that he would dare to reveal this matter.

After all, it was Cui Jin who participated in the plan to cause the eldest princess to fall into the lake.

If he didn't say it, maybe the emperor would be merciful and spare his life because of the love the eldest princess had for him during her lifetime.

But if you say so, it means you will die, Cui Jin will die!
Eunuch Chang was startled, and resorted to his trump card, "My lord, no one knows this big week. The old slave is the person next to the eldest princess. Before you and the eldest princess got married, the old slave did not know you at all. Why not?" Come to design with you to block your empress's marriage? How could you mention the imperial concubine in front of you?"

What Eunuch Chang said makes sense.

He was the chief steward most trusted by the eldest princess during her lifetime, no matter how you think about it, it is impossible to say that kind of thing to Cui Consort.

On the other hand, Cui Jin, pretending to be stuttering, it is already difficult to make his words more convincing.

"The conscience of heaven and earth!" Eunuch Chang hammered his heart, with a look of grief on his face, "My lord son-in-law, who ordered you to be so reckless about biting the Duke's mansion and the noble concubine? Heaven has a spirit, knowing that you have framed her close relatives like this, I don't know how sad it should be!"

When he mentioned the eldest princess at this time, he was really stabbing Cui Jin in the heart.

Cui Jin scanned the expressions on everyone's faces one by one, including disappointment, contempt, ridicule, and schadenfreude.

But alone did not believe it.

In Cui Jin's mind, every time the eldest princess smiles and is gentle, she listens to him and thinks seriously.

I just feel desolate in my heart.

They didn't believe what he said.

No one will believe his words.

If the eldest princess is still alive, she will definitely believe it.

But now, the only person who is willing to believe in him is no longer in this world...
