Tian Ze Emperor's gaze fell on her for a long time before he recognized this old friend. "It's you? You didn't die? "
Zhang shi looked at him disdainfully. "You haven't died yet, how can I take my last breath?"
"How dare you! You dare to be so rude to His Majesty! "
The sound of swords being unsheathed sounded. Madam Zhang turned a deaf ear to this. She just smiled faintly, not even bothering to raise the corner of her mouth. She had already indifferently stepped on all the hostile gazes: "Rude? Ha. "
She raised her head and looked at the Weiyang Palace inch by inch as if she was reminiscing. Her gaze inadvertently passed through the wide open window and fell on the lazy and wilted peace flowers at the corner of the wall.
"This peace flower was his most treasured possession. It was transplanted here when my jiejie entered the palace. It has been almost sixty years now, so long ah. So long that they all died one by one, but it is still alive. I am also still alive. Jiejie, His Majesty, I haven't seen you for many years. Things have remained the same, but people have changed. "
The words "His Majesty" made everyone's hearts tense. Because it was clearly not referring to the current His Majesty in front of them, but the deceased previous emperor.
And this peace flower was known to be the previous emperor's favorite. But very few people knew that it was actually the dowry of the first empress sent into the palace by the Zhou Family of Jinzhou. Because the meaning of the flower was too good, the previous emperor treated it like a treasure when he saw it. He specially built a new palace to support it and named the new palace "Wei Yang" and "Peace" to complement each other. He hoped that the country would be prosperous and the people would be at peace when he was on the throne.
When Zhang shi spoke of the flower's origin, the old officials present were all shocked. Because no matter whether or not the soul of Empress Zhou was hidden in this withered old woman's body, it could not shake a foreboding — the old matters of the past had to be brought up again and could not be avoided.
The first to speak was Zhao Bin. Cao Hou's gaze swept over and he shivered. He immediately stood up and swept his horsetail whisk.
"In this harem, there are at least ten to twenty old servants who can tell the origin of this cluster of Taiping Flowers. Even if you ask them to list fifty or a hundred things that happened during the previous emperor's lifetime, they would still be able to do it. You lowly servant, you want to play tricks in front of His Majesty, Her Highness, and the ministers with this little trick? What a joke! Heir Xiahou, I don't know what you're up to, but you're going to grab an old servant and pretend to be the reincarnated Empress Zhou. You're going to intimidate the officials and confuse the palace. What do you want? Are you trying to rebel?! "
These few words almost blocked Zhang shi's future path. No matter what she said to prove her identity, if it was all hearsay, then it would not be strange if everyone knew. If it was a secret that no one knew, then it would be a made-up story and would not be believed.
In the face of such a heart-wrenching accusation, Xiahou Qing did not move. Under Jiusi's light pat, he continued to bend over and cough lightly. He did not even raise his eyebrows, as if the situation in front of him had nothing to do with him.
Cao Hou glanced at him and saw his silence as a sign of weakness. He leaned against the soft armrest and waved his hand with a smile. "There is no need to make it sound so serious. Childe Xiahou is heavily poisoned. Under the fear of collapse, it is pardonable that he took a wrong path and made a mistake. In my opinion, regardless of whether or not this old woman is Empress Zhou, she should have died that year. Now that she has not died, then let her die again. If one fire is not enough, then add another. If one knife is not enough, then add thousands. I do not believe that I cannot eliminate this evil for my great Yue! Men, kill! "
