I'm shocked! After breaking off the engagement, the emperor's uncle wants to have a fake m

"Later, with the help of Madam Gao, who served the old lady personally, I was able to escape from the Duke's Mansion with the young master in my arms. However, they were hunted down. I was powerless to protect my master, so I could only risk leaving him in a dilapidated temple outside the city. I held a pile of straw and pretended to be holding a child. Later, we were chased to a steep slope and stabbed. I rolled down and escaped..."

"Fortunately, God has a good eye. The young master was finally found and reunited with the young lady..."

Duke Fuguo was stunned. Gu was actually pregnant with twins back then!

Gu told him the truth on their wedding night, and he had never touched Gu.

In the days before she was about to give birth, he specifically asked for permission to go to the city to train his troops, because he knew that the Lan family would not miss the opportunity to harm her.

He originally thought that as long as Gu died, no one would know that he married an unfaithful woman.

Who would have thought that she died and left behind a pair of children!

Let him wear this hat for the rest of his life!

It can be said that he tacitly agreed that the Lan family harmed the Gu family!

But she shouldn't have hurt his mother!

Lan was thinking, that bastard is really lucky! He is not dead yet!

Xulin walked in slowly from outside the hall, knelt down to salute, and then took off the mask on his face.

Many ministers in the court knew the eldest daughter of the Gu family. This face was exactly the same as that of the eldest daughter of the Gu family.

Afterwards, Doctor Yan and the Director of the Imperial Observatory also walked in slowly. Emperor Jianning did not stop them because last night, Prince Ling had someone send him a letter asking him to cooperate in the court today.

Prince Ling, his younger brother, seldom made any requests to him, so naturally he would agree unconditionally.

"See Your Majesty..."

"Get flat..."

Wang Zhiqiu told the story of how he picked up a child in a dilapidated temple outside the city when he was about to leave Beijing after failing the imperial examination.

Doctor Yan also said that he brought this child back to Xiaoyao Sect.

The tiger head birthmark on his hand represents his identity.

At this point, it has been established that the Lan family murdered the Gu family.

Nanny Qin raised her head and took off the cloth wrapped around her face, revealing a horrifying face.

"I used to serve in the old lady's courtyard. My Lord, you should still remember me..."

Although most of his face had been burned and his throat was hoarse.

But Duke Fuguo could still recognize that this person had indeed served his mother in the past, and even played with him when he was young...

"You are, Aunt Tan..."

"After so many years, the Duke still remembers me." Nanny Qin shed tears of blood.

"Back then, the old lady knew that there was another reason for the lady's death, but she couldn't investigate because of her deteriorating health. She tried her best to prevent you from making Lan the wife, just to warn you... Not only did you not give the lady a proper burial, but you also sent the newly born eldest daughter to Cangzhou. The old lady was disheartened... She had always wanted to hold on to her breath and seek justice for the lady so that she could take the eldest daughter back in the future... The doctor also said that as long as the old lady took good care of herself and didn't worry too much, the disease would always be cured. It was Lan who took ruthless action when she saw that the old lady was preventing her from being made the wife... I heard with my own ears that Lan instructed Aunt Zhang to poison the old lady's medicine, and the old lady died of the poison... I wanted to stop it but it was too late. Instead, I was locked in the small kitchen. My face was burned like this. It was another cook who died. There was a hole in the back wall of the small kitchen that was just big enough for a person. I climbed out from there and saved my life! God has eyes, so that this old servant can tell the crime of this poisonous woman!"

"You're talking nonsense! I didn't! I didn't!" Lan's face turned pale and he started talking incoherently.

"I want to see the Queen Mother! I want to see the Queen Mother!"

Emperor Jianning sneered, "When you were a concubine, you murdered your mistress and mother-in-law. Do you think that the queen mother will come and save you? I was wondering how Lan Hui could be so cruel at such a young age. It turns out that it was your aunt who caused it! Someone, put her in the prison of the Ministry of Justice. No one is allowed to visit her! This case will be handed over to Yang Qing, the doctor of the Ministry of Justice, to preside over the trial. All the witnesses must be verified one by one. Once the charges are proven, the death penalty will be imposed immediately without waiting for a review and finalization. From tomorrow, Earl Mingyuan does not need to report to work! Court is adjourned!"

"Long live, long live—"

Uncle Mingyuan looked ashen and slumped in the hall.

Lan was personally sent to the Ministry of Justice prison by the Imperial Guards.

Outside the palace gate, Yang Yi bowed and saluted.

Prince Ling smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work on this case..." Although the Lan family case was her personal behavior, the Mingyuan Marquis' Mansion could not get away with it. As for the Mingyuan Marquis' Mansion and its cronies, it is hard to say. Once something is involved, the Lan family case is just the beginning.

Yang Yi said neither servile nor overbearing, "Your Majesty, your words are important. This is my duty as a minister."

Mu Qingyan also wanted to thank him. After all, no one would be willing to offend the empress dowager. If Yang Yi took on this case, he would definitely be under a lot of pressure.

But General Gu was deeply shocked, and the third son of the Gu family was also very emotionally unstable. She had to follow them back to the Gu Mansion, so she left the palace first without waiting for Prince Ling.

Prince Ling will also make proper arrangements for Jinqiu and the others, so she doesn't need to worry too much about that.

When Lan was imprisoned, Nanny Zhang, as her personal servant, also had dirty hands, so the master and servant were taken away together.

The Queen Mother and Mu Ruge never showed up from beginning to end. In fact, they didn't dare to do so.

Most people don't dare to do something like filing a complaint with the emperor.

If the matter really comes to the emperor's attention, there will be no room for maneuver. Even if there is, she will not allow it!

In Shouxiang Palace, the Queen Mother just learned that Lan had been taken to the Ministry of Justice, and that Mingyuan Bo was ordered not to attend court. His Majesty did not intend to give the Queen Mother any face this time.

"Your mother looks like a smart person, but how could she make so many mistakes? We can't even silence her! It's been eighteen years, and yet someone still dug up the truth!" Empress Dowager Lan was so angry that she slammed the table.

Mu Ruge was expressionless as always. "At this point, my mother can no longer be saved. It would be better for the Queen Mother not to intervene, lest she be accused of partiality."

Queen Mother Lan shook her head, her expression very solemn. "How can we just ignore this? His Majesty doesn't allow your uncle to attend court. Isn't this obvious enough? They want to use your mother's case to get rid of the Mingyuan Marquis' Mansion... Over the years, I have not allowed your uncle to stand out. It is because he is useless that His Majesty will not focus on him, so it is easier for him to act in secret. Now, not only your mother can't be saved, but also your uncle's network of people, I am afraid that they can't be saved... Your elder sister is really great! She has done bad things again and again... Even the Qin family's affairs, she wants to interfere..."

She thought about it and then became afraid. "Fortunately, you and Shang'er will not be implicated. I can't protect your mother, but I can at least protect your future. The emperor can't just knock everyone down with one stick..."
