Empress Dowager Min hurriedly went to the Jiaofang Palace.

The Jiaofang Hall is quite lively.

The nurse hugged the little prince to say goodbye, and the three sisters and brothers gathered around the younger brother, reaching out from time to time to pinch the little face of the little four.

Ah Chun was originally a little surprised, but when he saw Xiao Si grinning, he was overjoyed, and he didn't care about his fall from grace. Leaned over and kissed him.

Hearing hurried footsteps, the children looked up together.

"Imperial grandmother," Gillian shouted happily, "Come and see Xiao Si." ”

Not long after the New Year, ten-year-old Gillian grew a little taller, and when she smiled, she already had a girlish demeanor.

Ah Yi also became more and more stable, got up and saluted the Empress Dowager Min: "Grandson has seen the imperial grandmother." ”

Ah Chun looked like and saluted together.

Gillian realized that she was rude, playfully stuck out her tongue, and hurriedly got up and saluted.

Gu Wanning, who was originally sitting on the phoenix chair, also got up and stood at this time, and saluted: "My daughter-in-law has seen the queen mother." ”

Empress Dowager Min was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously glanced at Gu Wanning. After seeing Gu Wanning's calm and normal face, the haze that was originally heavy in his heart suddenly dissipated.

Gu Wanning wanted to kill their brother and sister, so naturally he had to kill them. Why should she get to the bottom of it?

Moreover, Xiao Qi's brothers and sisters died when they died, and there was nothing to regret.

Gu Guanning didn't say anything, because it was not the time to be open and honest. Why should she be in a hurry?

Empress Dowager Min calmed down, and smiled at Gu Wanning's mother and son: "Hurry up and be exempt." He also told with concern: "Guanning, you have lost your body in childbirth, although you are out of confinement now, you should rest more, don't hurt your body." ”

"Thank you for your concern. Gu Wanning smiled and responded: "Daughter-in-law must take care of her body." ”

……

In the eyes of everyone, Empress Dowager Min is a weak and incompetent fool.

As everyone knows, Empress Dowager Min is a person with great wisdom.

Knowing your own catties, you should ask what you should ask, and you shouldn't interfere, just don't know. is not only leisurely, but also respected and loved by his son and daughter-in-law.

For example, at this time, Empress Dowager Min's reaction made Gu Guanning feel the warmth of being trusted.

The children all went to the study to study, and only the little four were left waiting to be fed.

Gu Wanning instructed the nurse to take Xiao Si out, and then took the initiative to explain to the Empress Dowager Min: "The matter of King Anping and Princess Danyang, I am inconvenient to say it at this time. In the future, I will definitely give an explanation to the queen mother. ”

Empress Dowager Min nodded and said, "I naturally believe you." ”

Gu Wanning's eyes softened: "Thank you Queen Mother." ”

"Our mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are still thanking you for what you are doing. Empress Dowager Min said half-jokingly: "As long as you and Ah Xu are in love, take care of the four Gillian sisters and brothers." Even if you are in charge of everything, you will hide everything from me, and I have nothing to be angry about. ”

Gu Wanning's heavy mind was also amused by Empress Dowager Min's witty words.

At this moment, Liuli came in to report: "Qi Yu Niangniang, Concubine Li Fang Niangniang came to ask to see." ”

Gu Wanning raised his eyebrows slightly, and said lightly: "Let her in!"

Princess Danyang's sudden illness will inevitably arouse everyone's suspicions. Concubine Li Fang has taken care of Princess Danyang for many years, so she has to ask questions.

……

Concubine Li was full of anxiety and sorrow at this time.

Princess Danyang was fine the day before, why did she die of a violent illness after being summoned to the Jiaofang Palace?

What kind of trouble did Princess Danyang cause that made Gu Wanning ignore everyone's suspicions and kill her? Will it implicate her?

Concubine Li Fang also received the news at dawn, and she was so frightened that she had no owner of the six gods. I didn't dare to come, but I had to come.

After entering the Jiaofang Palace, Concubine Li Fang knelt on the ground with a thud, and said bitterly: "The concubine was shocked to hear the bad news of Princess Danyang, and her heart was full of sorrow. They are all concubines, and they can't take care of the princess. The princess fell ill and died at a young age. I beg the Queen Mother to condemn her! I beg the Queen Mother to punish her!"

Sure enough, a smart man!

Regardless of the reason, please the guilty first. With such humility and sincerity, it is obvious that he is afraid of being implicated.

Gu Wanning and Empress Dowager Min quickly glanced at each other.

Empress Dowager Min slowly opened her mouth and said: "Over the years, you have been taking good care of Danyang and taking good care of her. These mourners are all in their eyes, and the queen also knows it. Danyang died of a violent illness, the fault is not you, you don't need to blame yourself. Get up and talk!"

Concubine Li's heart was lifted high, and then it fell back into place.

Since Empress Dowager Min said so, Princess Danyang really died of an emergency, and it will not affect her.

Concubine Li Fang gratefully patted Empress Dowager Min on the back, and then stood up tremblingly.

Empress Dowager Min sighed again: "The mourning family was discussing with the queen just now. In the past two years, there have been many accidents in the palace. First Concubine Gu Guifei, then Concubine Cui Xian, Concubine Fu De, and now even Princess Anping of Danyang has followed. I don't know if it's the villain's fault, or the feng shui in the palace is unfavorable. ”

"The mourning family plans to summon the monks into the palace to do a ritual. By the way, pray for the sick emperor. ”

Concubine Li Fang would not disobey the intention of the Empress Dowager Min, and hurriedly echoed: "What the Empress Dowager said is true." ”

Empress Dowager Min looked at Gu Wanning expectantly: "Guanning, what do you think?"

Gu Wanning replied softly: "The queen mother's consideration is not unreasonable. Master Huiping of Puji Temple has profound Buddhism, why don't you invite Master Huiping into the palace to do a Dharma ceremony?"

Master Huiping is a senior monk of Puji Temple, and his medical skills are also famous. At that time, Shen Jinyan lived in Puji Temple and worshipped Master Huiping as a teacher to learn medical skills.

Empress Dowager Min also knew about this.

Hearing Gu Wanning's proposal, Empress Dowager Min's eyes immediately lit up: "It's okay, Master Huiping's medical skills are quite clever, and after doing the rituals, it is just time for him to diagnose the emperor's pulse." Maybe Master Huiping can cure the emperor's illness. ”

When it came to Xiao Xu's illness, Gu Wanning's heart was full of obscurity, but there was no clue on his face, and he responded with a smile.

……

Compared with the calm waves in the palace, the deaths of King Anping and Princess Danyang were like spring thunder in the hearts of the courtiers.

The so-called "violent illness and death", such a casual and perfunctory reason, is really unconvincing.

Queen Gu's power is in the six palaces, and it was quite restrained in the past. Now that the emperor is seriously ill, Queen Gu's words and deeds are too unscrupulous. The prince and princess have also been dealt with such poisonous hands.

Thinking about it again, the three princes and Princess Gillian are all from Gu Guanning's belly. Once the emperor has three long and two short, he will be succeeded by the eldest prince. The eldest prince is still young, and it is very easy to be influenced by Queen Gu......

It's scary to think about!

The important ministers of the court and the central government have not yet reacted, but the officials and imperial historians can't hold back. One by one, they were gearing up, intending to unite and fold before the most holy.

Beneath the surface of calm, the undercurrent is surging.
