I Have 100,000 Dead Warriors

Chapter 598 Yixiu (32)

Qingtong lowered her head in shame: "Aunt is very thoughtful! The truth that the emperor finds out is the fact that he is willing to believe."

After coming out of the Cining Palace, Zha Zha Long sat on the dragon chariot, facing the scorching sunlight, his mind was in a chaos.

Soon, the dragon chariot carried him back to the Yangxin Palace.

Zha Zha Long told Wang Qin to get some menthol paste to help him rub his temples.

The cool mint smell entered his brain, and Zha Zha Long became much more sober, constantly recalling the memories of the past.

Since the murderer was not the Queen Mother, but he was able to put the blame on her, he must be a powerful person with great cunning.

Who could this person be?

Zha Zha Long recalled an essay about solving a case that he had read a few years ago. The protagonist in the essay said, "In the fog, whoever gains the most benefit is likely to be the real murderer."

He then considered the fear in Yixiu's tone when she talked about this person.

A familiar name suddenly popped into his mind—Niushulu Zhen Huan!

……

Jin Yuyan was busy plotting against the pregnant little pipa fairy Bai Ruiji.

Gao Xiyue's situation wasn't quiet either.

Due to Yixiu's deliberate disruption, the secret of Linglingxiang was exposed ahead of time.

In order to have a child, Gao Xiyue prayed to gods and Buddhas very frequently.

When he came back from Baohua Palace, he happened to discover that Daru was in frequent contact with the eldest prince Yonghuang.

Although Gao Xiyue's brain was not very bright, she could figure out that Yonghuang was the eldest son and had no biological mother.

If Daru could raise him, not only would she be honored as a mother by virtue of her son, but she would also be granted the title of mistress of a palace.

If this child is ambitious and inherits the throne in the future, he might even become the empress dowager like Zhen Huan.

Gao Xiyue hated Daru, so naturally she couldn't let her get what she wanted.

Ever since the rumor that Da Ru was the second Queen Chun Yuan spread a while ago, she found this trick very useful.

So, Gao Xiyue repeated her old trick and spread the news that Daru had secretly contacted Yonghuang to discuss the Empress's harsh treatment of the eldest prince, which became a hot topic.

This operation could not only drag Da Ru into the vortex, but also give the Queen a bad reputation of being "unethical and unkind".

When the rumor spread, the queen was furious.

She immediately ordered the palace maids and eunuchs who were the first to spread the gossip to be sent to the Ministry of Punishment to see if they could find out who was causing trouble.

Gao Xiyue was born into a bondservant family and had considerable influence in the Imperial Household Department.

She knew that she was not very capable, so she handed the matter over to Ama Gao Bin.

Gao Bin was thorough and experienced in his work. The Queen investigated deeply but could not find out that Gao Xiyue was the one behind all this.

The queen naturally thought that it was because Daru was too blatant and many people discovered that she had contact with the eldest prince, so such rumors spread.

When Zha Zha Long heard about this, he ran to Changchun Palace to question the Queen.

With Jin Yuyan's guidance behind the scenes, the Queen pushed the blame onto Daru with some sweet words, believing that it was Daru who had ulterior motives and wanted to seize the custody of the eldest prince, thus achieving her goal of gaining status through her son.

After hearing this, Zha Zha Long couldn't help but think of the battle for the throne among the nine princes during the reign of Emperor Kangxi, in which the most intense fight was between Da Qiansui and the Crown Prince.

One was the eldest son and the other was the legitimate son. They fought tooth and nail for the throne.

At this moment, just as at that moment.

Zha Zha Long thought that Ruyi was harmed by Linglingxiang and believed that she could not have children, so she wanted to make Yonghuang her own son.

Once Yonghuang became her son, not only would the mother be able to gain status through her son, but she could also use the special status of the eldest son to compete with Yonglian, the legitimate son, and avenge herself on the Queen's schemes and poisonings against her.
