After Wei Chimu sent General Zuo, he came out of the imperial study and went straight to Fengyi Palace, and saw the queen mother's sedan chair in front of Fengyi Palace, and felt a little uneasy in his heart.

Since Xiaoman's birthday, although the relationship with the Queen Mother has gradually eased, it seems that he has returned to the same harmony as he got along with at the beginning, but he always feels that the Queen Mother is no longer the same.

Needless to say, the reason is different, he understands it very well, that is, it can't be solved...... Maybe it's a problem that only Fang Qi can solve.

So now at this juncture, Hou Yuanxiu poisoned Xiaoman, and his frequent departures from the palace were all approved by the Queen Mother, so whether the Queen Mother was involved in the poisoning is inevitably suspicious, so it is obviously not a good thing for the Queen Mother to appear in Fengyi Palace at this moment. At least it's not a good thing for him or Xiaoman.

After letting Gonggong Pei beside him go in first to inform the people of Fengyi Palace that they didn't have to say hello, Wei Chimu stepped into Fengyi Palace and went straight to Chi Xiaoman's bedroom.

As soon as the door opened, what I saw was Chi Xiaoman kneeling on the ground, and the Queen Mother was helping him up.

"Queen Mother, what are you doing here?" Wei Chi Mu frowned, his displeasure undoubtedly revealed. Although it seems that the Queen Mother did not embarrass Xiaoman, who knows what caused Xiaoman to kneel!

He knew very well that Xiao Man's character was not light, even when he faced Emperor Jinglie.

"What is the emperor's words? Could it be that Fengyi Palace mourns the family?" his son's attitude towards himself, even if he is the emperor, the queen mother will not be happy.

"Queen Mother, don't be angry, it's not good if you're angry. Chi Xiaoman affectionately held the hand of the Queen Mother and said with concern.

Only then did the Queen Mother ease her face.

Yu Chimu looked a little confused, their relationship was a little too good to be unusual, beyond his comprehension.

"Your Majesty, the queen mother already knows that the person who poisoned the concubine is Hou Yuanxiu, the daughter of the Hou family, and she is about to ask the emperor to be the master of the concubine!" Chi Xiaoman said with a smile.

"Oh?" Wei Chimu stared at the Queen Mother, as if he wanted to see whether the Queen Mother was sincere or false. Although the Queen Mother is his biological mother, he should be the most trusted, but his recent behavior has really disappointed him.

"Hmm...... The mourning family regretted that the Hou family's Nan Nizi would do such a thing. The Queen Mother pursed her lips and said: "Your Majesty, Hou Yuanxiu's mind is too vicious, and she is allowed to give birth to these things in the palace, and it is the duty of the mourning family, but for the sake of Xiaoman, can you be lenient with Hou Yuanxiu?"

Wei Chimu said in a deep voice: "Such a vicious person, how can he be spared, this is not a matter of Xiaoman's poisoning or not, disturbing the harem, and framing the daughter of General Zuo, Hou Shangshu and General Zuo are both important ministers in the court, if Hou Yuanxiu is spared, wouldn't it be that he takes care of the east corner but loses the west corner?"

He knew what the Queen Mother was worried about, which was nothing more than Hou Shangshu's status in the court. But General Zuo has meritorious deeds, and if he wants to deal with this matter unfairly, he will also be counterattacked. And the queen mother seems to have forgotten that when she let the two daughters Hou and Zuo enter the palace, didn't she just take a fancy to their backgrounds? Since both of them need to be co-opted, it is against the original intention to offend either party now.

"But Hou Shangshu is quite prestigious in the court...... "The Queen Mother is obviously still entangled.

Wei Chimu pondered for a while, and said with a smile: "Queen Mother, this matter has to be dealt with impartially, although Xiaoman is not poisoned, but murdering a member of the royal family, this crime is not small, and she also framed the daughter of a courtier, even if she is exempted from the death penalty, the living crime is also inescapable, otherwise it will not be possible to explain to General Zuo." I don't want to be a king who wants to go his own way, and I don't want to lose the hearts of my subjects. (To be continued......)
