Chapter 1071: Aftermath (1)
Duchess Chengen and the other three walked out of the mourning hall in disgrace.
The palace maids were well-trained, their hands and feet were very sharp, and they cleaned up the mourning hall in a short time. The Lady of the Decree knelt down again to keep watch.
As if nothing had happened.
However, everyone knows it in their hearts. The words that Princess Gaoyang shouted in public before pointed directly at Gu Guanning, the queen of the middle palace. A rumor is indispensable.
Having said that, didn't Queen Gu really do it secretly?
The same question quietly surged in everyone's hearts.
Even Mrs. Cui, who was the first to stand up for Queen Gu, couldn't help but weigh it in her heart.
It's just that no one dares to say it.
At this moment, Empress Dowager Min hurried over.
Because the Funing Hall is quite far away from the mourning hall, the Empress Dowager Min came a little late.
Along the way, Empress Dowager Min was anxious and full of anger. When I arrived at the mourning hall, I saw that everything was as usual, and I couldn't help but be stunned: "Wanning, what's going on?"
Gu Wanning had already restrained his anger, and responded calmly: "Gao Yang is too sad to hear anyone talking about the Empress Jing. On the spur of the moment, he made a move. I've ordered her to be locked up and calm down for a day or two. ”
Empress Dowager Min subconsciously frowned and asked, "Who is so bold as to dare to talk about the Empress Jing in the mourning hall?"
Gu Guanning glanced at Empress Dowager Min: "It's Duchess Chengen." ”
Empress Dowager Min: "......"
This mother-in-law's sister-in-law is not worrying when she is old, and she will cause trouble!
There are so many ladies in the mourning hall, all of them seem to be honest and kneeling, but in fact, they all prick up their ears and wait to see the excitement.
Empress Dowager Min was so angry that her temples jumped suddenly, and she gritted her teeth and said, "What about her? ”
Gu Guanning glanced at Linlang.
Linlang immediately stepped forward and said softly: "Slave maid, this will lead the way for the Queen Mother." ”
……
Linlang led the way in front, and soon arrived outside the door and pushed open the door.
Empress Dowager Min had a gloomy face and entered the house.
Duchess Chengen was sitting there in a daze, her face was like dirt, and she was uneasy. When I heard the sound of pushing the door, I immediately looked up.
When she saw the person who came, Duchess Chengen was overjoyed.
The savior is coming!
It's a pity that Duchess Cheng'en didn't show a relieved look before she was scolded angrily by Empress Dowager Min: "Are you dizzy after eating too much lard? You dare to talk nonsense in the mourning hall and cause trouble! It's a good life of peace and stability, and you can't afford to live too much! Not to mention being beaten, even if you are beaten to death, you deserve it!"
"The mourning family tells you that the mourning family will never take care of this matter!
Duchess Chengen has always been open-minded, and immediately knelt down with a sad face, crying profusely: "It's me who is wrong, I don't cultivate morality, I talk nonsense, and I angered Princess Gaoyang." ”
"However, Princess Gaoyang also made a move on me in the mourning hall! I am a serious Duchess of the First Rank Destiny Kingdom, and I was slapped twice by a junior. Where is this facing me, it is clearly a slap in the face of the Queen Mother. ”
"Who doesn't know that I am the mother-in-law of the Queen Mother!"
"The Queen Mother just doesn't think about me, but also for the sake of her own face, and she must not easily spare Princess Gaoyang!"
severely punished Princess Gaoyang, so naturally she had to be spared.
Duchess Chengen played a good calculation, regardless of the slightest image, and cried without manners.
Empress Dowager Min was angry, annoyed and angry, and then looked at the two distinct slap marks on Duchess Chengen's face, and in that anger, she couldn't help but feel a little more distressed.
is also a person who is almost fifty years old, he was slapped twice in public, and he was beaten so embarrassed by Princess Gaoyang, which is indeed pitiful.
The other two ladies are also slippery, and when they see this battle, there is nothing they don't understand. They knelt down together and cried.
"We just said it casually, where did we think that Princess Gao Yang would be so angry when she heard it in her ears!"
"Princess Gao Yang was like crazy just now, showing no mercy to the three of us. Especially the Duchess Chengen, at this age, she was beaten like this by Princess Gaoyang! The Empress Dowager wants to be the master of the Duchess Chengen!"
For Duchess Cheng'en to make the decision, it is natural to make decisions for the two of them.
The three of them knelt together and cried and pleaded, you said a word to me, a handful of snot and a handful of tears.
Empress Dowager Min's brain hurt when she heard this, and her heart was troubled, and she said angrily: "Okay, shut up to the mourning family! Today's affairs are all handled by the queen, and the mourning family will never say more than half a word if they say that they will not ask!"
After saying that, he left angrily.
As soon as Empress Dowager Min left, the three people kneeling on the ground stopped crying, and each stood up and sorted out their appearance.
Duchess Chengen touched her hot face and said hatefully: "This Princess Gaoyang is really domineering. I just said a few words casually, and she was so unrelenting, and she actually did something to me! Empress Gu is the most fair in handling things, and she will never spare her this time!"
The other two ladies immediately flattered: "What Duchess Chengen said is true. ”
"It's that the queen mother doesn't support the lady, and the queen mother is there. The Queen Mother is the most hard-mouthed and soft-hearted, and she didn't know how distressed she was when she saw her wife so embarrassed just now. ”
"Yes, Madame, don't worry. The Queen Mother will never watch her lady being punished!"
Cheng'en Gongfu didn't say it in his mouth, but he actually thought so in his heart.
……
Gu Guanning was not in a hurry to deal with Princess Gaoyang, nor did he ask the Duchess Chengen and the other three. He only ordered people to be strictly guarded, and food and clothing were not to be treated harshly.
Two days have passed.
Princess Gaoyang and Duchess Chengen were not released and were still locked up in the house.
The kneeling ladies were still muttering secretly in their hearts at first, but seeing that there was no movement, they stopped pondering.
Anyway, with Gu Wanning's temperament, he would never spare these people. They're just waiting to see the excitement!
On the morning of this day, when Gu Guanning was leading the people to kneel, Linglong quietly walked in, and then leaned into Gu Guanning's ear and whispered a few words.
Everyone subconsciously pricked up their ears.
The mourning hall was too quiet, and the slightest sound was particularly eye-catching.
Although Linglong tried her best to keep her voice low, those who were close to the tip of her ears could always hear a few words intermittently.
Princess Goyang...... Madness...... Shouting......
Just a few words are enough to make people think about it.
Soon, Gu Wanning's condensed voice sounded: "This palace will pass." ”
Then, Gu Guanning turned to the Empress Dowager Min and whispered, "Queen Mother, daughter-in-law go to see Gao Yang." ”
Empress Dowager Min frowned, and there was a bit of anger in her voice: "She is also an unconscious lord. If it's a mess, you just have to deal with it, and you don't have to have any scruples. ”
Gu Wanning replied and stood up.
The people around him, such as Linglong Linlang Chen Yueniang, etc., immediately followed behind.
