Chapter 179: The Empress Dowager

Sending Shun'an away, Qin Yunyi also felt a lot of emotion, this ordinary person who has no sense of existence at all, did such a big thing quietly, if she didn't say it herself, who would believe it.

"The Queen Mother must know that it is Concubine Li's hand, and she will definitely not give up easily. Miao An said as she made the bed, "I don't know what kind of storm will be set off when the time comes." ”

"Your Majesty is not ready to tell the Queen Mother about this matter, out of front of me, you must also be tight-mouthed, don't leak your mouth. Qin Yunyi said.

"The slave knows. Miao An said, "But it's also strange to say, the Queen Mother and Concubine Li should be incompatible, but I didn't expect to be safe in Yushou Palace for so many years." ”

"Nothing happens where there is. Miaoqing said, "I think it's Concubine Li who is letting the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother's trusted grandmother is actually Concubine Li's person, I shudder when I think about it." ”

"This is not an ordinary person to serve, that is the person that the Queen Mother trusts the most. Miaoqing asked Miao'an, "Just say who pays to buy you now, and don't say that you will harm your mother, that is, let you give your mother's news to others, will you do it?"

"Of course I won't. Miao An jumped up as if she had been stepped on by her tail and said, "Why do you compare me with me, don't take your own analogy, the first time I served people was to serve Niangniang, from the palace to the present, no one can let me harm Niangniang, even my father and my mother." ”

"Talking well, why are you still angry. Qin Yunyi smiled and said, "You are all the people I trust the most." ”

"You have served Niangniang from the beginning, and I am not bad, and I have been following Niangniang since I entered the palace. Miaoqing said, "Niangniang trusts us more than others, and so does the eldest grandmother, if it weren't for serving the Queen Mother for so many years, how could the Queen Mother trust her so much." ”

"The old servant over the years can accept other people's money to do things, which can only show one point, this old servant was a person from Concubine Li from the beginning. Miaoqing said, "Think about it, when the first emperor was there, the three queen queens pinched together were not the opponents of Concubine Li, but at that time, Concubine Li wanted to put someone around the queen mother, this scheming, do you think the queen mother will be her opponent?"

"However, Concubine Li doesn't come out much in the Yushou Palace on weekdays?" said Miao An, "I can't see that it is a means to call for wind and rain." ”

"You just look at how many of the concubines of the first emperor were forced out of the palace by the queen mother to live in the nunnery, Concubine Li is the thorn in the eye of the queen mother, but she can stay in the Yushou Palace, this is her ability. Qin Yunyi said.

"Speaking of which, I'm curious about Jin Zhaoyi, as the niece of Concubine Li, if she also has such a scheming method, it would be really amazing. ”

"Kim Zhaoyi is nothing but a Zhaoyi. Miao An said disapprerovingly.

"You're wrong again. Miaoqing said, "Jin Zhaoyi is just a Zhaoyi, it should be intentional by His Majesty." Jin Zhaoyi has been in the palace for so many years, and she has served His Majesty a lot of times, if there is no trace of His Majesty's concern, I am afraid that he will already be with everyone, and His Majesty will not promote her position, I am afraid it will be for her good. ”

Miao An frowned, wanting to refute what she said was wrong, the only person in this palace who can make His Majesty worry about it is our mother.

But Qin Yunyi nodded when she heard this, obviously agreeing with Miaoqing's statement, "She is also able to bend and stretch, and when she entered the palace, she was forced by both sides of the Queen Mother, she endured it, and finally seized the opportunity and had a place in Your Majesty's heart." ”

"Does the lady want to guard against her?" asked Miao An.

"Not really. Qin Yunyi said, "Then I'm too tired." ”

"I can't get tired right now. ”

Qi Zongwen asked people to go to the palace maid next to Concubine Li, but he didn't expect to encounter a hard stubble, and he didn't confide a word until he was tortured. Qi Zongwen was secretly frightened, a harem woman has such a heart, how powerful her master is, and how important the things she plans are, so she will be so tight-lipped.

Qi Zongwen called Wei Hu over and asked him to start investigating from Concubine Li's side, "No matter how big or small, you have to find out the ins and outs." ”

Over there, he invited King Li into the palace, and after chatting a few words, he said, "I can't help it, so I invited my uncle into the palace, I really don't know how to decide this matter?"

King Li listened with his hands down.

Qi Zongwen was embarrassed and said, "The Queen Mother's condition is always not good, I want to move her to the Zhenyuan Hall to recuperate, thinking that the Queen Mother is the daughter-in-law personally selected by the emperor's grandfather, maybe with the blessing of the emperor's grandfather, the Queen Mother's illness can get better faster." ”

"Now that the Queen Mother's illness has been cured, she will be able to return to Yushou Palace after a few days of recuperation. ”

"This is a good thing, I wonder if Your Majesty has troubles?" said King Li.

"The prescription that the Queen Mother drank in the Zhenyuan Palace is the same as the prescription when she was in the Yushou Palace, this one is useful, the other is useless, I was suspicious, so I ordered someone to try the palace people of the Yushou Palace, and this time a big case came out. ”

"The eldest grandmother next to the Queen Mother accepted the silver from Concubine Li and changed the medicine of the Queen Mother, so that the Queen Mother's condition fluctuated again and again, and people became more and more depressed. ”

The sound of the king.

"You said, if you are a bystander, you will naturally have to act according to the law and murder the Queen Mother, which is a serious crime. Qi Zongwen said, "But the uncle knows that my father specially instructed him to treat Concubine Li well before he died.

King Li was silent.

Qi Zongwen complained bitterly and said, "Uncle and Queen Mother, Concubine Li is of the same generation, and she is also in charge of the clan's affairs, this matter depends on how you weigh it." ”

"Queen Mother, I still have to persuade you. ”

Concubine Li must be punished, but there is the last words of the first emperor here, and the punishment must not be heavy, so how can the queen mother do it, she is now harmed, and she can't even get justice, she wants to tear her face and say, everyone has to make a shame.

King Li is also in trouble now, "If the princess of this king is still there, let her persuade the queen mother, suffer a little loss on the surface, and make up for it, this lady may not agree." ”

"But the princess is no longer there, and I, as a little uncle, will persuade my sister-in-law, this, this is not appropriate. ”

"Then there's no one else now. Qi Zongwen said, "Only you are on it." "King Li is still the only seedling in his father's generation, and the other positions are not enough, let alone speak.

"If I go and say it. Qi Zongwen said, "The Queen Mother asked me to execute Concubine Li, should I or shouldn't?"

The two of them faced each other.

After a while, Qi Zongwen asked King Li, "Uncle Wang thinks that I should deal with Concubine Li properly?"

"Surely it cannot be put to death. King Li said, "What the first emperor said, you have to let her start and finish well, the four prime ministers were present at that time, and they all listened, although Your Majesty wants to uphold justice for the queen mother, you can't fall into the mouth." ”

"Because I picked up this emperor, since I ascended the throne, it is a dream of sleeping, I dare not slack off, the government and internal affairs, are compared to my father, for fear of falling into the mouth, now to do it, it is against my father's order, not to do it, it is to ignore the law of the country and the law and nothing, what can I do. Qi Zongwen said with a self-deprecating sigh.

"Your Majesty's words are wrong. King Li said, "Your Majesty's accession to the throne should be the destiny of heaven, how can it be said that he is an emperor who picks up, the first emperor set up His Majesty as the crown prince before his death, and the crown prince ascended the throne, it is logical, no one can pick a word." ”

"Your Majesty has ascended the throne, is diligent in government and loves the people, diligent and thrifty, who in this world does not talk about Your Majesty's goodness. King Li said.

"Your Majesty is a good emperor. ”

"Uncle Hugh wants to praise me. Qi Zongwen shook his head and said, "Now I have to think of what punishment can satisfy the Queen Mother." ”

"In this way, it can only be a captivity. King Li hesitated for a while and said, "Because when Concubine Li was in Yushou Palace, she was also in-depth and simple, I am afraid that some conditions must be added to this circle ban before the Queen Mother can be satisfied." ”

"Uncle Wang will use this condition to talk to the Queen Mother first, if you are not satisfied, we are watching. Qi Zongwen said.

The Queen Mother heard from her mouth that it was Concubine Li who made it bad, and it was the eldest grandmother next to her who bought it, so she was dumbfounded. He sat there motionless, not speaking.

The palace people didn't dare to speak easily.

When King Li came, she only raised her eyelids to know it, and after King Li said what she meant, the Queen Mother sneered, laughed and laughed, and became angry, and smashed the cup next to King Li. "As far as Concubine Li is a person, the mourning family is not a person. ”

"The mourning family deserves to be calculated and poisoned. ”

"Your Majesty has done to save the mourning family, so that the mourning family is dead, and there is no need to be so embarrassed. ”

"When the first emperor, the queen of the mourning family existed in name only, and now, the queen mother of the mourning family still exists in name only. ”

"You go and tell Your Majesty, if Your Majesty doesn't give an explanation to the Mourning family, the Mourning family hanged a rope at the gate of the Taimiao, but let the world see, what kind of infatuation your Qi family is, for a concubine Li, you want to force the Mourning family's wife to death. ”

"Not that, not that. King Li dodged left and right, very embarrassed.

The palace people quickly mixed him out, "The Queen Mother has been dull and silent since she knew, and she is waiting for Her Majesty's disposal, the Queen Mother almost died, and Concubine Li was only imprisoned, and the Queen Mother was naturally dissatisfied." ”

"The prince still waits for the queen mother's heart to haunt this breath, and then let's talk about it. ”

King Li looked at her, "Can you convince the Queen Mother?"

The palace people's heads shook like rattles, "Now the slaves and maids don't dare to stay in front of the Queen Mother for a long time, lest the Queen Mother misunderstand that the slaves and maids are also ghosts, let alone open their mouths, everyone should be dumb." ”

Concubine Li was a little slower, but she also knew about it, when the palace people were taken away, she was nervous, although she trusted them, she was afraid that they would not be able to survive and said something that should not be said.

Now that this happened, she was a little more relaxed, and it was not her major matter that was found out. The Queen Mother's matter is very easy to solve.

On the same day, she was dressed in plain clothes and left a suicide note written in blood, saying that the Queen Mother would not allow her, and she wanted to follow the first emperor, so she hung herself from the beam, of course, she was saved in time. It's just that the limelight has changed, it was the Queen Mother who didn't allow her and deliberately framed her, she was innocent.
