After handing over Concubine Xu's life experience to Dali Temple, the court meeting continued, and Duke Lu also had to stay and could only leave after the court meeting was dispersed.

Emperor Chunqing was still sitting on the dragon throne, and his oral order had been spread. The evidence in the censor's hands was transferred to Dali Temple. Since the evidence had not been reviewed, the other personnel involved were officials, so it was not advisable to be imprisoned directly in Dali Temple. Therefore, Emperor Chunqing only sent guards to guard the front and back doors of the Zhao house of Xuanwang Mansion, Xu Mansion, and Shizi Lane, and no one was allowed to enter and exit without authorization.

Shangshu Xu, who was suspected of deceiving the emperor, was taken away from the court by the guards and wanted to send him back to Shangshu's mansion to wait for the accreditation of Dali Temple.

In addition to him, the guards also went to Dali Temple and wanted to send Zhao Yanping back to Shizi Lane to take care of him.

The guards were ordered to act without giving Zhao Yanping any explanation. Zhao Yanping followed the two guards out of Dali Temple and saw a second-rank red-robed official in front of him, who was also taken out of the city gate by the guards.

Is he involved in the same case with this second-rank official?

Zhao Yanping was secretly shocked.

He has only been in Beijing for two years and has not found Xiangyun yet. He has not yet waited for the right opportunity to clarify the misunderstanding to Ah Jiao. Why was he involved in the case of a second-rank official? It would be fine if he was affected by himself. What should his mother do? Can Xie Ying protect Xiaoying and Ah Jiao? Will she be worried?

The future is uncertain and life and death are unpredictable. On the way back to Lion Lane, Zhao Yanping was full of worries.

There were already guards in front of the Zhao family's door, and the guards sent Zhao Yanping into the door, but did not follow in.

"Yanping, what happened? Why are there so many guards outside?"

As soon as Zhao Yanping came in, Liu, Guo Xing and Cui Niang surrounded him, and there were other servants, all of whom were panicked.

The family members all rely on him, but Zhao Yanping was not panicked and said, "It seems that a case has occurred in the palace. Now, the officials who may be involved in the case will be taken care of first. When the case is found out and arrested, the innocent officials should be fine."

Zhao Yanping comforted his family and himself.

He was upright and sat upright, never violated any laws, and even suffered injustice. He believed that his mentor Lu Taigong could find out the truth.

In the palace, the court meeting held every three days lasted for two hours and ended almost noon.

Lu Taigong hurried to Dali Temple.

The Marquis of Yongping looked at King Xuan.

King Xuan left expressionlessly, left the palace gate, and took a car back to his Prince Xuan's mansion.

The guards were also guarded outside the Prince Xuan's mansion, but the guards only strictly prevented Concubine Xu and his servants from entering and leaving, and did not dare to stop the master of the Prince's mansion.

The people in the palace were panic. No one knew what was going on outside, and even Princess Xuan had no idea.

It was when I was eating, Princess Xuan had a weak appetite. After using some casually, she asked someone to remove the meal. I heard that the prince was back and went straight to Yian Hall where Concubine Xu lived. Princess Xuan suddenly felt aroused. Could it be that the emperor's aunt did something with her mother? Shen Shi, the wife of the concubine Xie Ying, was really related to Concubine Xu?

With clues, Princess Xuan is really not worried. The emperor's aunt and mother will never harm her.

Yian Hall.

Concubine Xu was having dinner with her second son Xiao Chi.

The son in the palace was five years old and had to move to the front yard to live together. He could only pay his respects to his mother and biological mother in the morning every day. Concubine Xu's eldest son Xiao Lian has moved out for three years, and Xiao Chi is only three years old, so he can spend more time with her.

Three-year-old Xiao Chi is partial to eating, and only likes meat but not vegetables, which makes it difficult for him to get stinky every time. Facing his youngest son, Concubine Xu promised that as long as Xiao Chi ate all the vegetarian dishes she had picked up, she agreed to Xiao Chi go to the garden to climb a tree.

This trick worked, Xiao Chi picked up the chopsticks and started eating quickly.

Concubine Xu and the maids around him were all looking at him with a smile, as if they didn't know that there were guards outside the palace.

At this moment, the hasty salutes of the little maids came from outside. Concubine Xu stood up in confusion, and Xiao Chi jumped off the chair excitedly, ran out and shouted at her father excitedly.

When King Xuan walked around the corridor and saw his youngest son, his chubby face was stained with oil. King Xuan coldly ordered the wet nurse who was chasing behind him and said, "Take the Fourth Master back and wash his face."

Seeing that the prince's expression was wrong, the wet nurse hurriedly took Xiao Chi away.

King Xuan continued to walk forward and soon stepped into the hall. After coming in, he stared at Concubine Xu coldly at the phoenix eyes and scolded the maids to retreat.

When the maids all came out, the eunuch Liu, who was beside King Xuan, bowed his head and brought the door from outside.

King Xuan has already gone to the inner room.

Concubine Xu frowned and followed into the inner room. Seeing King Xuan sitting on the bed with a green face, looking at her with a strange and gloomy look, Concubine Xu slowly approached him while asking softly: "What's wrong with the prince suddenly returning?"

King Xuan stared at her beautiful face and said in a deep voice: "Today's court meeting, a censor impeached your legitimate mother, saying that she killed the real Xu family girl, and then bought a fake pretending to be the Xu family girl from outside."

Concubine Xu's face changed slightly, but she only showed a little surprise and no panic, as if she had expected this day, and as if the consequences of being exposed were not very terrible. She could accept what King Xuan would do to her.

Seeing that she did not deny it, King Xuan smiled so much: "What a fake guy who is calm in the face of danger. No wonder he dared to enter the palace to draft the show even though he knew he was fake. The Lu family did not choose the wrong person."

When Concubine Xu heard this, she finally felt more emotions in her eyes. She knelt down and kowtowed to the man with murderous intentions: "The girl in the folk is indeed not the girl in the Xu family, but the girl in the Lu family has no freedom to be controlled by the Lu family. The talent show is not what I want. When the queen pointed it to the prince, the girl in the folk can only follow the trend. The prince, the girl in the folk knows that she is humble and cannot be worthy of the prince. Since entering the mansion, she has never taken the initiative to compete for favor..."

A cold snorted from above my head, followed by King Xuan’s angrily questioning: “What do you mean is that I don’t like so many noble girls, I only spoil you a lowly fake. Is this king who has no eyes and can’t blame you?”

Concubine Xu closed her eyes and said, "The people's daughter dare not. The people's daughter wants to say that except for having to hide her love, the people's daughter has never deceived the prince. Today, the prince's crime is the one who punishes the people and the other. But Lian Ge'er, Chi Ge'er is your flesh and blood, they are innocent. Please don't take their anger on their brothers."

The faces of the two children flew through their minds, and King Xuan clenched his fists, wishing he could strangle the woman who had been cheating on him!

But looking at her kneeling there, King Xuan had to admit that she did not take the initiative to favor her. From beginning to end, he was the one who took the initiative to favor her. He regarded her as the most demanding and simple woman in the backyard. He came to her yard again and again. He made her pregnant with two children. He ran into the palace and asked her father for a title of concubine to her.

He was obviously so kind to her, but she still chose to hide it. She even had a fake identity, so how could she have a trace of sincerity towards him?

Perhaps all her tenderness and charm are to please him and to protect herself.

"The children are mine, and I will raise them with all my heart. You should be blessed!"

King Xuan looked at her for the last time and left angrily.

Concubine Xu knelt on the ground and heard him instructing Eunuch Liu to ask her wet nurse to take Xiao Chi to the third master in the front yard and not to see her again.

After an afternoon of trial, Lu Taigong confirmed that Lu did conspire with the nunnery to bury the real lady Xu. The current Concubine Xu is fake. After asking Emperor Chunqing, he immediately ordered someone to go to the Xu Mansion to interrogate Xu Shangshu, Lu and others, as well as Xu Concubine Xu in the Xuan Mansion. Given that Zhao Yanping and his family did not participate in the Lu family and Concubine Xu's deception case, it was also impossible to confirm that Concubine Xu was Zhao Xiangyun. Lu Taigong ordered people to politely bring Zhao Yanping, Liu and Chen Ying to Dali Temple on the grounds of assisting in handling the case.

There is a court in Dali Temple. The main culprit Xu Shangshu, Lu knelt on the left, and Concubine Xu knelt on the right, followed by the relevant slaves of the Xu Mansion and the dowry maid brought by Concubine Xu from the Xu Mansion.

Zhao Yanping's family is far away and has not arrived yet.

The Madam Jing next to Lu's side is the most powerful witness. Master Jingwen of the nunnery is the master's favor. He told her any secrets. Master Jingwen not only knew that the current Concubine Xu was fake, but also knew where the real Madam Xu and her blood letter were buried together. This time she went to Beijing, she also brought the blood letter. Of course, she was also instructed by others, but Master Jingwen did not know who the other party was.

In the case of such a person having all the evidence and physical evidence, and Concubine Xu admitted that Miss Xu's stepmother Lu could only confess. Xu Shangshu was really kept in the dark by his wife and slaves. Seeing the bloodstains left by his daughter, Xu Shangshu knelt on the ground and cried so hard that he cried.

Only Concubine Xu was calm and quiet, like a numb spectator.

Mr. Lu suddenly asked her: "Since you know you are not Xu Wanyi, do you remember your real name? Where is your hometown?"

"The girl's surname is Xu, her name is..."

Halfway through speaking, Concubine Xu suddenly stopped.

My mind was filled with those who had already memorized melons that would not be wrong even if they were pricked with needles in their sleep. It seemed that she was really the daughter of the Xu family. Even if she was exposed, she still answered this subconsciously.

Not the Xu family’s daughter, not Xu Wanyi, who is she?

He was sold at the age of six. He ran away once and hid in a family and begged them to send her home. He thought he had met a good person, but he was sold to a new person. This person was kind to her. As long as she was obedient and obedient, the person would not hit her. When she gave up and ran away and was about to be sent to a wealthy family as a maid, Madam Jing came and picked her among more than a dozen girls.

Madam Jing asked her to be Xu Wanyi, the eldest girl of the Xu family. Madam Jing said that as long as she is obedient and does not want to escape from the nunnery, she will have a good life.

She is not greedy for good days and just wants to go home one day, but Madam Jing left, and the nunnery's nunnery beat her every day. As long as she answered wrong once, she would wait for her several needles. When she was awake, she would deliberately answer correctly, so the nunnery would come to take the exam while she was sleeping, and she would also drink. When she was drunk, she would answer wrongly and even stab her.

She was afraid, and she would never dare to recite the wrong words again.

But she still wants to go home, and she can't really forget who she is.

Fearing that she had forgotten, she secretly engraved two names under the bed in the nunnery, which were the only two names she remembered at that time.

After carving it, she never crawled under the bed to see it again. She only silently recited the things she carved under the bed before going to bed every night. Gradually, even she forgot that, no matter how much the lord torture her, she would not let it go. It was not until that year that people from the capital wanted to take her to the capital and no longer had to be taught by the lord, that she closed the door and crawled under the bed again.

It was on that day that she finally remembered again.

It turns out that her surname is Zhao and her name is Xiangyun.
