At the same time, there are many rumors in the capital, the Lou family's unfortunate family this time in addition to this incident, it is all because of the queen mother's instructions, sent a maid who was pregnant with the heir of the Yuan family to seduce Ning Guogong, and put musk in Mrs. Lou's diet, intending to confuse the bloodline of Ningguo Mansion in order to control Ningguo Mansion, and Zhong Yueyue, just instructed by the Queen Mother, was said by Zhong Yueyue herself today.
The rumors didn't know how to get out, and it didn't take long for them to spread in Chujing, and even intensified, and the royal reputation plummeted, coupled with the fact that His Royal Highness the Prince Regent ordered the arrest of the county lord at noon today, and for a while, the rumors that the royal family would not allow meritorious heroes came out.
The queen mother wanted to use the children of the Yuan family to control the Ningguo Mansion, and the county lord of Xianya intended to kill the county lord of Qingyan, and the family of Jiangmen was murdered by the royal family in such a calculation, and even the injury of Mrs. Ningguo in Putuo Nunnery was also involved in these things, and all kinds of rumors came out, and the royal reputation plummeted.
The century-old Jiangmen family of the Ningguo Mansion, following Emperor Taizu to fight the country, loyal to the monarch for generations, the Lou family army is guarding the frontier, and has always been the pillar of the imperial court in the minds of the people, but now these things have happened, naturally there is a lot of uproar, and as a planner, the reputation of the Empress Dowager Yuan has plummeted for a while, and her majesty has disappeared.
And these news came from the mouth of the daughter of the Zhong family, Zhong Yueyue was married by the Queen Mother back then, so it made people doubt the intentions of the Queen Mother.
Marriage from heaven turned out to be not a good thing.
As a result, the news that the Queen Mother was sick also came.
At the same time, the Hall of Zhangde.
The palace eunuchs held their breath and guarded their positions, not daring to make any movements, waiting quietly.
There were many people guarding the dormitory, Rong Yan was dressed in a white brocade robe embroidered with dragon patterns, sitting there with a calm face, waiting for the results of the imperial doctor's diagnosis and treatment, while Qin Guifei was standing beside him, Empress Yuan was sitting on the other side, and Concubine Zhen was standing below, all with different looks, the Queen Mother was sick, and the impact on everyone was different.
The emperor's face was expressionless, and he didn't look nervous, but the hand on his knee was slightly clenched, and his eyes were a little obscure.
From the moment he heard those rumors outside, and then the Queen Mother fell ill, he has been like this, not surprised, not anxious, just waiting.
Concubine Qin stood beside him, her face was as usual, and she didn't show any surprise, but she didn't know what she was thinking.
And the queen and the concubine are not good.
Because the things outside are directly or indirectly related to them, the queen doesn't say it, and the concubine is now uneasy.
The matter was said by her sister's mouth, and now that it is like this, the fate of the Zhong family depends on the meaning of the Queen Mother, so how can she not be in a hurry?
Regardless of whether the truth is like this or not, but if it is a big trouble, the face of the royal family must be much more important than a Zhong family, if the queen mother is angry and treats the Zhong family for the crime of slandering the queen mother, it will be a big crime of the nine clans, in this way, the Zhong family really has nowhere to redress their grievances.
And if something happens to the Queen Mother, the emperor will definitely not give up, and now whether the Zhong family can escape the doom depends on what the Queen Mother's attitude is after waking up.
My sister is afraid that she really can't stay this time, what's wrong with this time, the Zhong family has had many accidents, and now there is a catastrophe.
All of this is a good thing done by those people in the Lou family, and Lou Yueqing is the initiator!
Soon the Imperial Physician walked over to the finished pulse.
"Your Majesty!"
Rong Yan said lightly, "Say, how about the queen mother?"
Imperial Physician Chen said respectfully, "If you go back to the emperor, the queen mother is in a hurry, caused by stimulation, and will wake up soon, and the minister will prescribe a few pairs of medicines for the queen mother to recuperate, but I am afraid that I can't be stimulated anymore these days, it is best to let the queen mother recuperate for a few days!"
In fact, it's heart disease!
Hearing this, Rong Yan bowed his head lightly and said slowly, "In this case, I have ordered that no one is allowed to disturb the queen mother's recuperation in the past few days, and if there is anything, wait for the queen mother to get better!"
Hearing this, Concubine Zhen immediately knelt down and cried to Rong Yan, "Your Majesty, the concubine's sister was definitely framed in this matter, and the Zhong family is innocent, please forgive the emperor and forgive the Zhong family!"
After speaking, the whole person fell to the ground, trembling, and the meaning of prayer could not be more obvious.
Now that the Queen Mother is sick, the emperor's meaning is obvious, not to let the Queen Mother interfere, and the Zhong family, regardless of whether the matter was done by the Queen Mother, has to pay for this matter, if Zhong Yueyue has not been suspended, then it is fine, now that Zhong Yueyue has been suspended, what mistake she makes, it is not the business of the Lou family.
Regardless of whether the Queen Mother instructed it or not, there is only one final result, the Queen Mother is slandered, and slandering the Queen Mother is the capital crime of the Nine Clans.
Now that the Queen Mother is in a coma, it is the emperor who adjudicates everything, if the Queen Mother is executed, the Queen Mother may open the net, but the Emperor has always been at odds with the Queen Mother, so how can he stop?
The Zhong family is loyal to the Queen Mother, and the emperor will not tolerate it.
Seeing Concubine Zhen kneeling, the queen also stood up and knelt down to plead, "Your Majesty, it stands to reason that the news spread by Miss Zhong Er in the Ningguo Mansion, whether she said it herself or not, this matter is publicized, and the Ningguo Mansion is also to blame, and the Zhong family is also innocent, please ask the emperor to investigate this matter!"
Moreover, when she said it, she was still a member of the Ningguo Mansion, even if she made a mistake, it didn't matter about the Zhong family, after all, if she got married, how could she be guilty and the truth of her mother's family?
What's more, even if Zhong Yueyue said it in front of the maid doctor, if the Ningguo Mansion didn't want to make a big deal about it, it could be dealt with first, but it was allowed to spread, and now the whole capital knows that the Queen Mother will not tolerate the Ningguo Mansion, and the reputation of the royal family has plummeted.
Even, the British King's Mansion and the Yuan family were affected because of this, and as soon as this incident came out, the Ningguo Mansion benefited the most.
Seeing the two women kneeling in front of him and pleading for mercy, Rong Yan's face sank.
Qin Guifei smiled lightly and said softly, "Your Majesty, although this incident happened in the Ningguo Mansion, and the news was also spread because of the Ningguo Mansion, those who don't know are not guilty, I am afraid that the lady was injured during this time, the county lord was assassinated, and the mansion couldn't control it, so it would be no wonder that the Ningguo Mansion would happen!"
The status of the Ningguo Mansion in the Chu State, how can it be compared to the Zhong family?
No matter what the matter is right or wrong, the end of the Zhong family will not be good.
What's more, Mrs. Ning Guo was almost burned to death by someone who set fire to her before, Lou Yueqing's assassination was not a trivial matter, Lou Yichen was running for the imperial court outside, but Ning Guo's Mansion had accidents one after another after he left, and the person who planned these things was the Queen Mother, if the emperor did not deal with it properly and hurt the friendship between the monarch and the minister, it would be worth the loss.
A Ningguo Mansion is incomparable to the ten Zhong families, and the master of the Zhong family is the Queen Mother.
The queen mother is powerful, which is not tolerated by the emperor, the queen mother can buy people's hearts and get involved in some things in the court, but if what she does endangers the power of His Royal Highness the regent, then the emperor will stop it, because only by letting the queen mother be suppressed, can he ensure that the regent will not kill the queen mother.
If one day, His Royal Highness the Prince Regent really can't tolerate the Queen Mother, then no one can protect it.
The revenge of killing his mother, as well as the Gu poison in his body have been tortured for nearly twenty years, and the loss of the throne, if the regent breaks out, no one can protect the queen mother.
As soon as Qin Guifei's words came out, Rong Yan was still pondering, and then looked at her, her eyes were deep and the meaning was unknown.
Qin Guifei looked at him with a calm face, as if she didn't mind what problems would be caused by Fang Cai's words, so she said it.
Whether Rong Yan thinks it's sowing discord or thinks he has other intentions, it doesn't really matter.
Rong Yan looked at her and suddenly spoke, "What does Concubine Ai think, what should I do?"
Hearing this, Qin Guifei pulled the corners of her mouth, "The state has national laws, the concubines don't understand the government, the emperor can deal with it how he thinks it, and it is certainly a crime to slander the queen mother, but if you have wronged someone, it is not appropriate!"
What is the truth, don't talk about her, the emperor knows very well in his heart whether the queen mother was really wronged, everyone knows in their hearts, so there is no need to check.
Rong Yan nodded and smiled gently, "Indeed, since Concubine Ai has said so, I naturally can't wronged people!"
After speaking, he turned his head to look at Empress Disande and Concubine Zhen, and said lightly, "The queen has nothing to do with this matter, get up!"
Empress Yuan bowed slightly, and was supported by the palace maid.
Concubine Zhen looked up at Rong Yan and pleaded with tears in her eyes, "Your Majesty ......"
Rong Yan said lightly, "Since Concubine Zhen has entered the palace as a concubine, don't forget your identity, I don't want the concubine to interfere in political affairs, you should study hard with the concubine!"
Most of these things have nothing to do with the government when they are separated, but together, it is not a trivial matter.
Everything is aimed at the Ningguo Mansion, and the affairs of the Ningguo Mansion are related to national politics.
The Zhong family is looking for death this time!
Or, someone can't tolerate them and sends them to their deaths.
Hearing this, Concubine Zhen glanced at Qin Guifei deadly, her eyes were full of resentment, and then she looked at Rong Yan and wanted to say something, "But the emperor ......"
Rong Yan interrupted her, "Moreover, no matter what happens to the Zhong family, you are my concubine, so it's best not to worry about things that shouldn't be taken care of!"
No matter what happens to the Zhong family, she will not be implicated.
After this incident, the Zhong family can't stay!
Hearing this, Concubine Zhen's face changed greatly, what does the emperor mean by this?
At this time, the father-in-law of Shunde trotted in.
"Your Majesty, something happened!"
Seeing him come in, a room full of people looked at him, Rong Yan squinted, and said casually, "What's the matter?"
"His Royal Highness the Prince Regent ordered that the Zhong family's goddaughter had no way to frame the Queen Mother, Zhong Shangshu was dismissed and investigated, and the Praetorian Guards have been sent to surround the Zhong family!"
Hearing this, Rong Yan's face changed slightly.
Rong Zhi, is this necessary to get rid of the Zhong family?
Concubine Zhen immediately softened, her face turned pale for a moment, and then she crawled in front of Rong Yan, pulled Rong Yan and cried, "Your Majesty, the Zhong family is innocent, please let the emperor know, the Zhong family will never dare to slander and frame the Queen Mother, the concubine's sister has been married, these things all happened in the Ningguo Mansion, even if the Ningguo Mansion divorced her, but the Ningguo Mansion was eager to clear up the relationship, but it was not as guilty as the mother's family, and it had nothing to do with the Zhong family!"
framed the Queen Mother, the Zhong family will definitely not be able to escape, but these things themselves are done by the Queen Mother, and now that things are getting bigger, everything has to be carried by the Zhong family themselves, which is too unfair.
However, even so, they still can't admit that it was done by the Queen Mother.
Even if the Queen Mother made a mistake, she could only let them bear the blame, and she could only regret that she shouldn't have worked for the Queen Mother in the first place.
Now I only hope to be able to exchange Zhong Yueyue's life for the Zhong family.
I thought that something was in the past, but it was still made big.
Qin Guifei smiled, "Sister Zhen, what does this mean? Could it be that Zhong Yueyue is not the daughter of the Zhong family?"
No matter what happened there, the Zhong family could not escape the blame.
He immediately smiled lowly, and said helplessly, "What's more, the Ningguo Mansion was killed, and he almost lost his children and grandchildren, and he had to bear the consequences for the mistakes made by the daughter of the Zhong family?
Hearing this, Concubine Zhen's face changed, she glared at Qin Guifei and gritted her teeth and said, "Qin Guifei, you don't sow discord, do you think I don't know what you ......?"
Rong Yan's face changed, and he said coldly, "Presumptuous!"
The tone was already extremely displeased.
Concubine Zhen realized it later, her face turned pale, how could she forget that Qin Guifei was the emperor's heart, and doing this by herself would undoubtedly make the emperor even more angry, so ......
She did it on purpose!
Thinking of this, Concubine Zhen gritted her teeth and looked at Qin Guifei, looking at the woman's pale face, as if her eyes had no effect on her.
She is like this, she has always done her own thing, but the emperor favors her, and no one can do anything to her.
She just deliberately said those words, so that she didn't choose what to say, and the emperor would be even more angry, so that her pleas would be useless, and it would add fuel to the fire, this slut!
Qin Guifei glanced at her lightly, then looked at Rong Yan and said slowly, "Your Majesty, the concubine is tired, since the queen mother is fine, the concubine will go back first!"
Hearing this, Rong Yan stood up, walked up to her and said slowly, "I will send you back!"
Qin Guifei frowned, "But ...... here"
Glancing at Concubine Zhen on the ground, and then at the queen with her head down, Rong Yan said in a light tone, "Since the queen mother is fine, I don't have to stay here, the queen will stay here to take care of the queen mother if she has nothing to do, as for the others, without my permission, whoever dares to break in will be killed!"
He himself is not in good health, so naturally he does not need to serve the sick, and it is best not to come to see the Queen Mother when she is sick.
The Queen Mother is sick and needs to recuperate!
The queen immediately bowed her head, "The concubine will definitely take care of the queen mother, please rest assured!"
Concubine Zhen wanted to say something, the queen left her eyes and signaled her not to speak, Concubine Zhen had to endure it, now the emperor is already angry, the more she says, the more angry the emperor becomes.
All things are not enough to make the emperor change his face, but Qin Guifei's matter, even if it is a small matter, is enough to make the emperor angry.
That's the difference.
Rong Yan didn't say anything anymore, and pulled Qin Guifei away slowly.
He didn't walk fast, holding Qin Guifei's hand, but it was very tight.
As soon as they left, the queen immediately asked the big guys to retreat, and Concubine Zhen immediately cried and begged the queen, "Queen Mother, you must find a way to save the concubine's mother's family!"
Now, I can only ask the queen to intercede with the queen mother and help the Zhong family.
Glancing at Concubine Zhen condescendingly, Empress Yuan said in a light tone, "You go back first, the palace will talk to the queen mother, the regent only dismissed your father and investigated it, and did not convict him, you must not intercede with the emperor again, this will only anger the emperor, and the gains outweigh the losses!"
As long as Qin Guifei is by the emperor's side, the emperor will not take any woman's words in his eyes, and any pleas are useless.
Concubine Zhen bit her lip, "But this matter was originally ......"
"Concubine Zhen!" the queen's face changed, and she scolded, "Go back to your palace!"
Concubine Zhen bit her lip, what the Yuan family and the Queen Mother did, but let the Zhong family bear the consequences, how could she bear it?
The queen looked at her with hatred, and said in a deep voice, "If you can't control your own mouth, let alone the Zhong family, even yourself, you will inevitably die, do you understand?"
Zhong Yueyue can't keep her mouth shut, now she has harmed the Zhong family, if Concubine Zhen can't keep her mouth shut, no one can save the Zhong family, and she has to take her own life.
All of them know that the Queen Mother did it, but the Queen Mother is the mother of the country and the mother of the Son of Heaven, and she must not make such a mistake, at least, in the people, there must be an explanation, who let Zhong Yueyue pull this matter out?
The Ningguo Mansion is the pillar of the Chu State, and it has always been used by the people, and this matter has harmed the Ningguo Mansion, so it is not possible to make a big deal small.
Lou Yueqing suppressed the matter before, and thought that it could be revealed, but who would have thought that it would be like this after only a few days.
Concubine Zhen nodded, "The concubine knows!"
In this way, we can only think in the long run.
The queen's face was slightly pale, and she said slowly, "Go back, when the queen mother wakes up, the palace will discuss with the queen mother, you stay in the palace, don't act rashly!"
"The concubine retires!"
Seeing Concubine Zhen being helped out by the palace people, Empress Yuan's face sank, and a trace of disgust was seriously crossed.
At this time, a palace man walked in and said urgently, "Queen Mother, it's not good, the emperor has sent the Imperial Forest Army to surround the Zhangde Palace!"
Hearing this, Empress Yuan's face changed.
The emperor has made up his mind not to let the Queen Mother interfere in this matter?
In this way, the Zhong family really can't be saved.
The Zhong family is loyal to the Yuan family and the Queen Mother, even if it is not as good as the Ningguo Mansion, but it is also in charge of the military department, Zhong Yuanqing is the secretary of the military department, but now, the Zhong family is not guaranteed, and the military department is not guaranteed.
Suppressing the dryness in her heart, Empress Yuan said lightly, "This palace knows!"
Then, Aunt Yuanlan in the dormitory came out and whispered to the queen, "Queen Mother, the queen mother is awake!"
Empress Dowager Yuan woke up not long after she was in a coma.
Empress Yuan frowned, then pursed her lips slightly and walked into the dormitory.
The Empress Dowager Yuan leaned on the soft couch, and her face was not very good.
I think it's because I've been stimulated a lot today, so my face is not white, but a little blue.
She obviously underestimated the little girl's methods, and actually made this past thing into such a big way, making it difficult for herself to deal with it.
Let her not only lose the Zhong family, but also lose her reputation.
Unexpectedly, just because Mrs. Ning Guo was injured, the little girl fought back against herself like this, once the Zhong family can't keep it, then the other courtiers who are loyal to her will inevitably question themselves because of this, so there will be no more loyalty.
As soon as the queen came in, she told her about the situation outside, and when the queen mother heard this, her iron face was indescribable.
A pair of phoenix eyes are full of yin poison and murderous intent.
"Lou Yueqing!"

Half past eleven on the second watch
