Chapter 188: The Empress

Concubine Li was treated in time, or saved a life, Qi Zongwen thought about what she was going to say to her next, and wondered if she would rather die headlong I don't know this.

Concubine Li was put in front of Qi Zongwen, and she was weak and wanted to confess.

Qi Zongwen said, "The queen mother has agreed to exempt you from the death penalty, but poisoning the queen mother is really a heavy crime, and the crime is unavoidable." ”

"I am really irrefutable, I can escape the death penalty, it is already the grace of His Majesty and the Queen Mother, but I still want to ask Your Majesty to be merciful and not to involve my family. Concubine Li pleaded.

"The Queen Mother asked your family to leave the capital to live and wait for the Queen Mother to come back in a hundred years. Qi Zongwen said, "That's all, the title of the Jin family, I will still keep it for them." ”

Concubine Li's mouth squirmed a few times, knowing that the current result had no power to turn around, so she could only nod sadly.

"Second, your title can't be retained, and you will be reduced to too noble. Qi Zongwen said, "I should also lower the rules, but I won't let people be harsh on you." ”

Concubine Li also nodded in response.

"You must have thought about it behind closed doors, and you can tell yourself where you want to go, and I will allow you. Qi Zongwen asked in a gentle tone when he saw that she was cooperative.

Concubine Li choked up for a while and said, "I did such a wrong thing, and now that I think about it, I am really sorry for the first emperor's protection of me, I just want to be able to go to the imperial tomb, worship the first emperor every day, and meditate on my own mistakes." ”

Qi Zongwen asked again, making sure that she wanted to go to the imperial mausoleum, "Then let's go." ”

Concubine Li left after thanking her, Qi Zongwen was moved back to the dormitory from the side hall by someone, Qin Yunyi was in a daze, and when he saw him come in, he stood up to greet him. "The previous matter has been dealt with?"

Qi Zongwen nodded, he said the queen mother's request, and then invited the concubine to the imperial mausoleum to think about it.

"The imperial tomb is cold, she is still hurting her head, how can she go there? What should she do if she can't take care of the hidden disease?" Qin Yunyi said, "It's strange to say, at the beginning, she didn't give an inch, why did she suddenly confess her guilt so simply, and she didn't even have any objection to these conditions, this title is not a matter of concern, she has been demoted to too noble, but she is not qualified to be buried with the first emperor?"

"I haven't told her that I can't be buried with the first emperor. Qi Zongwen said, "Maybe she thinks that although she is too noble, she is the person who was personally nominated by the first emperor to be buried together." ”

"I really didn't want to talk about this with the courtiers, so the Queen Mother finally relented and quickly settled the matter. Qi Zongwen said, "The Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, and they don't do anything right, and they quarrel so much because of the dispute between the Queen Mother and her, which really gives me a headache." ”

Qin Yunyi pressed his head on him, "Then Your Majesty is also troubled." ”

Qi Zongwen closed his eyes and sighed in his heart, where is this annoying matter, but it is just a piece of inconsequential thread that is not very important from the mess.

Jin Li's power frightened him, and now he will no longer underestimate her.

"By the way, what's wrong with your haunting?" Qi Zongwen asked, "Wei Hu asked me to send me to investigate the Weaving Bureau, and he hasn't come back for so many days, and the rest of the people are no better than him." ”

"The ghost didn't come either. Qin Yunyi said, "Xu is scared and doesn't dare to come again." ”

"These sinister villains will only make these pickling methods. Qi Zongwen said angrily, "When I find out, I will not be spared." ”

Qin Yunyi returned to Ronghua Palace and saw Miao Ping waiting on the side, "Why don't you let people go to Tianqing Palace to call me when you come?"

"The slave and maid have nothing to do, they can wait, how can they disturb the mother and His Majesty to get along. Myohei said.

"How could you come to me for nothing. Qin Yunyi shook his head and said, "But what happened last time has an eyebrow?"

Miaoping nodded, "A few days ago, a handyman from the palace went out of the palace to deliver laundry, during which he went out of the Huanyi Bureau once, went to the Dongxingmen Grand Bazaar, sat in a dumpling stall for a while, and left with a strong man, went to a private house, and stayed in it for a quarter of an hour before coming out. ”

"Maybe she's out of the palace to meet her lover. Miao An said.

"She was also targeted by the people of the Zhen Department when she came out of the Huanyi Bureau, but she didn't keep an eye on it, and then she came back, so she asked the inner supervisor to ask, and the inner supervisor asked, she went to the Dongxingmen Grand Market to buy donkey meat and burn it. ”

"Naturally, she wouldn't tell people about her meeting with people, but the place was right. ”

The little beggar who followed her followed her all the way to the outside of the house, and she was also watching around there for a few days, and there were only four big men living in the house, and there were no more people around. ”

"The house was rented a month ago. ”

Qin Yunyi nodded, "This is indeed suspicious. ”

"The slave maid has already asked someone to see the miscellaneous palace man named Shui Sheng, she has a master in the palace who depends on each other, but the master suddenly fell ill earlier and went out of the palace to avoid illness. ”

"If the mother wants, you can send her to ask at any time. ”

Qin Yunyi shook his head, "If it's really her, then the four people in the houses outside are the most important thing, if we want to restrain them, the movement will be a bit big." ”

"Then it depends on whether the mother wants to deal with it herself, or your majesty is in charge. Myohei said. "If Niangniang wants His Majesty to call the shots, as long as she talks about these situations to the Zhen Division, she will naturally be able to get it right. ”

Qin Yunyi fell into hesitation, "Although she pretended to be a ghost to scare me, she didn't have bad intentions, and deliberately reminded me that she was a human, not a ghost." ”

"If she doesn't have bad intentions, she shouldn't pretend to be a ghost to scare her mother. Miao An said, "Niangniang is not scared, it is Niangniang who is not afraid of shadows, if Niangniang is more timid, she is really scared, do you still think she has no bad intentions?"

"I'm afraid this thing was done by the harem people. Qin Yunyi said helplessly, "I really don't want Your Majesty to be angry about this anymore, he thinks that he is a good person in his harem." ”

"Well, go and tell the people of the Virginity Division that you ask for their help in this regard, but let them not tell Your Majesty first, and when everything is settled, I will tell Your Majesty after I have made a decision. Qin Yunyi said. "It's that I'm very unhappy to be teased by, and I have to deal with it myself. ”

"The Zhen Division is subordinate to His Majesty, I'm afraid it will be difficult to agree. Miao Ping said objectively.

"I know. Qin Yunyi said, "But he will relay my words to Your Majesty, and now I haven't found out who is behind it, maybe Your Majesty will allow me to play, so I will casually agree." ”

"At least, when the time comes to find out who is behind it, Your Majesty will remember to come and ask for my opinion, instead of disposing of it yourself. ”

"Slave maid, do as the mother says. Myohei said.

The queen mother in the Ditai Palace looked at the little prince, she didn't love enough every day, and others couldn't get into her eyes, kissing the hands and feet of the little prince, I really wanted to eat it in my stomach to feel at ease.

Mrs. Guangping Hou entered the palace, "It has been more than ten days since the little prince was born, why hasn't Your Majesty moved?"

"Do you want to wait until the full moon or the first birthday?" said the queen.

"If the days drag on for a long time, I am afraid of long nights and dreams. Mrs. Guangping said, "At that time, Xue Xiang's illness was also cured and returned to the court, wasn't the old man busy in vain?"

"Before, the court was arguing about the Queen Mother and Concubine Li, who would mention the crown prince?" said the queen, "and we will always wait for them to come up with a result before talking about anything else." ”

"You can't do it like that. Mrs. Guangping said, "The queen said that the middle palace lady should come out at this time to turn the tide." ”

"After all, the queen mother is in the middle palace, and the concubine was indispensable, but the first emperor is gone, and for the sake of a word, he ignores the concubine and poisons his mother, which is absurd. ”

"Although the first emperor said that he wanted Concubine Li to return to her life, maybe Concubine Li herself has a ghost in her heart, and she is afraid of being punished and committed suicide? ”

Mrs. Guangping Hou said step by step, "After handling this matter, we can put the prince's matter on the agenda and say, Niangniang, our top priority now is to determine the position of the prince of the little prince." ”

The queen hesitated, she wanted to deal with it when the matter started, but she was faceless, she really didn't want to wade into this troubled water.

"Does Your Majesty have great feelings for Concubine Li? ”

"The Queen Mother and Concubine Li are like fire and water, everyone knows this, even if Concubine Li is really unexpectedly gone, everyone only suspects the Queen Mother, and will not suspect others. ”

When the queen was still thinking, the palace people came in and said, "There is movement over there in the Zhenyuan Palace, saying that the Queen Mother is going back to Yushou Palace?"

The queen sat up suddenly, "The queen mother is going back to Yushou Palace?"

"Yes. The palace man said, "The battle for the queen mother to return to the palace is very big, and she can't fake it." ”

Mrs. Guangping Hou looked at the queen and said, "Why did the Queen Mother suddenly want to go back to Yushou Palace?" Didn't you cry yesterday and stop being the Queen Mother?

"It must have come to an end to the fight with Concubine Li. The queen said, "Otherwise, she won't go back to Yushou Palace easily." ”

"Someone. The queen said, "This palace is going to Yushou Palace to have a look." ”

Mrs. Guangping Hou stayed in the Ditai Palace to wait for news of her.

The Queen Mother did not wait in the Tianqing Palace, although she heard that Concubine Li did not die after coming back, she was a pity, but later said that His Majesty asked Concubine Li to go to the imperial mausoleum to think, and she was happy again, "It is cheaper for her to die directly, how much suffering the mourning family has suffered in her hands, it is only right that she should let her also taste the hardships and then die." The imperial mausoleum is a place where the dead live, where can the living live, she went there to think, it is better to live than to die. ”

"But it's better for her to accompany the first emperor more, after all, after death, she won't be able to see or love it. The Queen Mother said in a comfortable mood that this would really trample her under her feet, and she would no longer have to live in the same palace with her.

"Okay, the eyesore is gone, let's go back to Yushou Palace. ”

When I was packing up my things, someone came to hug the queen, and the queen mother snorted coldly, "Now that you know that you have come to inquire about the news, didn't you still have to come over and pretend to be a good person?"

"Nope. The Queen Mother said.

"But you can tell her what happened to Jin Li's slut, and the more people know that she is unlucky, the happier the mourning family becomes. ”

The queen didn't see the queen mother, but she got the fate of Concubine Li from the mouth of the palace people, and was demoted to a nobleman, the Jin family stayed away from the capital, and went to the imperial mausoleum to think about it, and the battle was a complete victory for the queen mother.
