Daughter of the royal palace

Chapter 173 A sensation in the capital (3)
King Zhongyi was taken aback for a moment, as if he didn't expect her to know about it, and then nodded.

"Yes, it's her. Back then, she loved the emperor, but the emperor didn't like her. So she became jealous of the empress, and she plotted to murder the empress many times. At that time, the empress was pregnant for the first time, and it was snowing heavily in winter. The empress was crazy about flowers. Yu Xuetian admired the plum blossoms. Unexpectedly, Qin Yuxin bought her maid and knew her hobby, so she poured butter on the plum blossoms. The queen didn't check, she stumbled and fell, and almost lost her baby. Fortunately, even if Prince An arrived, she saved the plum blossoms. The child in her womb. But she was poisoned in the womb, her body was weak, and she was exposed to the cold in the snow, and then she gave birth prematurely, so that..." He suddenly stopped talking, and his eyes were suddenly sad and sad.

Ling Xihan was secretly startled, it turned out that the queen would not be able to conceive from now on, and the disaster started from that snow wrestling.No wonder……

King Zhongyi calmed down his shock, and said coldly: "That day I saw Yun'er and Wan'er like that. Although there was Xiaoqing's confession after I came back, I really didn't suspect it at the time. I didn't think of it until a few days later. There are some doubts about the matter, and after careful investigation, I finally understood the whole process." He looked at Ling Xihan and sighed slightly.

"Han'er, I know that you have suffered a lot these years, and your younger sisters have bullied you a lot. It was all in the past. I think you are all sisters, so I don't plan to pursue too much. I didn't expect Yun'er and Wan'er to..." There was anger, pain and loathing in his eyes. "I didn't expect them to refuse to change after repeated admonitions, and to have such vicious thoughts. Fortunately, you were alert and not tricked by them. Otherwise, how would I explain to your dead mother?" There was luck, comfort, and sighs in his eyes.

Ling Xihan thought about it, "But they... are your daughters, don't you blame me?"

"Daughter?" King Zhongyi snorted coldly, "I don't have such a vicious daughter." His eyes were cold, and his words were ruthless and cold.

"You also know, except for your mother and the princess, those women are just pawns to stabilize the court." When he said this, his expression was indifferent, without even frowning.

"Then what about Ning's?" Ling Xihan blurted out suddenly. For some reason, Ning's peaceful face suddenly flashed across her mind, and she felt complicated in her heart.

King Zhongyi paused, his eyes dark and inexplicably complicated.

"She, too." Except for the woman who had already been hidden deep in his heart, no woman was enough to stir up any waves in his heart.For Yun Shang, he felt guilt, pity, or a feeling of sympathy in his heart.But that's not love. He has only loved one woman in his life, and he will always love her alone.

He was silent for a while, and then said: "Han'er, do you hate me?" He looked at Ling Xihan with guilt in his eyes.

"It was I who missed your mother's life and indirectly killed her." He smiled wryly, "You should hate me." He raised his head and closed his eyes. Gray hair on the ears and temples.

Ling Xihan thought about it, and shook her head lightly: "No, I don't hate you." Maybe she hated it because of the memories left in her mind when she first possessed this body, but now she doesn't hate it anymore.Because the grievances between her parents have nothing to do with her, she just looks at it with a normal heart, so she doesn't hate it.

"Father..." She hesitated, wondering if she should ask that question.

King Zhongyi looked at her with a smile, "Do you want to ask how the Zhao family's child died?"

A light flashed in Ling Xihan's eyes, he nodded calmly, and looked at him complicatedly.

"Father, you..."

"It's not me, it's Qingxiang." King Zhongyi's tone was indifferent, his eyes were lightly looking ahead, and they were as deep as the sea. "You know now, she belongs to your second sister."

Ling Xihan moved her fingers slightly, "But you should also know." Her eyes suddenly turned cold, "Second Sister has Xiao Tingxuan behind her."

King Zhongyi was silent for a long time before he said: "You heard what Princess Zhaohui said at the queen's birthday banquet last night."

Ling Xihan's eyes trembled, and the waves shone.

"Is what she said true? The queen really..."

King Loyalty closed his eyes, "That happened many years ago, so I don't mind mentioning it. The key point is that when I went to the court today, the right minister used this matter to persuade the ministers of the court and the central government to make a joint report, asking the emperor to abolish the empress." He The eyes are as cold as a cold pool, as tough as ice, sharp and icy.

Ling Xihan pursed her lips tightly and said nothing.

"The emperor was furious, and immediately reprimanded the right minister for his unruly intentions. However, many old officials in the court were already dissatisfied with the emperor's doting on the empress, and now this kind of thing happened again, and they all complained. Fortunately, those who witnessed this incident back then had already Being executed by the emperor, these people couldn't produce any evidence, and with the support of the Luo clan headed by Prime Minister Zuo in the court, the matter was calmed down."

When he said this, his voice suddenly became low.

"The emperor wanted to give Prime Minister a warning, so..."

"So you just go with the flow and use Zhao's miscarriage to punish her, so as to hit the right minister." Ling Xihan took the words calmly.

"Yes." King Zhongyi said coldly, "Actually, you have already guessed it. After so many years, there are so many women in this mansion, and many of them are pregnant, but you are the only ones who were born safely. Yihaner, you are smart, Naturally, I know that someone has tampered with it. Therefore, Zhao's pregnancy is also within my expectation."

"No wonder..." Ling Xihan sighed, and then suddenly thought of something. "Father, Eighth Sister..."

King Zhongyi was startled, his eyes darkened.

"I know." He looked up with a slight smile in his eyes. "It's just, since when did you notice it?" He only found out about this a few years ago. When did Han'er start to suspect it?

Ling Xihan smiled slightly, "It's very simple. There are so many women in the palace, and none of them are simple. If the eighth sister is as weak as she appears on the surface, how can she be alone? What's more, with the princess sitting in the palace, and the second sister as the assistant, the eighth sister To be able to hide so deeply is not to say that she is not scheming. Therefore, I have always doubted her. Until the last time—" She narrowed her eyes, and a cold light flashed in her eyes.

"The last time I went to Baohua Temple, when she got off the carriage..." Ling Xizhen's simple and crisp movements came to mind again, and the corner of her mouth sneered. "If she is really weak and sick, how can she jump off the carriage by herself? Such a skillful movement is obviously a person who knows martial arts. And she has worked so hard to hide it for so many years, how can she not know her evil intentions?"

King Zhongyi's gaze slowly moved, with a faint smile on his lips.

"You're so smart." He paused, and then said: "She's not my daughter, no, it should be said that the real Zhen'er has died long ago, or was swapped."
