Chapter 668: Greedy Ink
Besides, the emperor ordered that the father-in-law arrived at Fengluan Palace with a gust of wind.
Empress Zhao was restless, wandering in the dormitory, the emperor handed over the Mo family's pawn of the house deed to the young master Feng to investigate a few things, she knew that just a few of them entered the palace, she felt that it was not a good thing.
Now that the emperor has sent someone to find her, she has a sudden heart, and she can't wait to pretend to be sick and not go.
The emperor had the intention to provoke her and the Queen Mother, how could he let go of such a good opportunity?
In case she pretends to be sick, the emperor is angry and directly uses the excuse that she is sick and needs to recuperate, and lets Concubine Li Guifei take charge of the harem on her behalf, and she will lose more than she gains.
Stretching out her head is a knife, shrinking her head is still a knife, she wants to retreat, Concubine Li laughs at her, and the Queen Mother can't look down on her.
Hard-headed, Empress Zhao went to the imperial study.
When she entered, the emperor was drinking tea, and the tea was hazy, so that people couldn't see his face clearly, but Queen Zhao's heart was beating up and down.
"Emperor, Emperor, are you calling your concubine?" Empress Zhao's voice trembled.
She felt that the emperor was becoming more and more frightening.
The emperor glanced at the dragon case, and the father-in-law who was waiting on the side sent the three testimonies on the dragon case to Empress Zhao.
After Empress Zhao saw it, her heart fell to the bottom, she looked at the emperor, the emperor put down the teacup, and said indifferently, "This is the testimony of the young master Feng who has just been sent to the palace, what does the queen think?"
These testimonies are fluttering, but in the hands of Empress Zhao, they are hot potatoes.
Can she say that this testimony is slanderous against the Queen Mother?
She couldn't.
The mark on the silver ticket came from the pawnshop and belonged to the Mo family, no matter what the reason, it should not be in the hands of the Queen Mother.
But they were in the hands of the Queen Mother, and then passed through the hands of the steward of the imperial dining room to the emperor, and this series did not arise from the Queen Mother, but found her head, and she couldn't hide.
Originally, the emperor was suspicious of her and the queen mother, and when the evidence was conclusive, she favored the queen mother again, and the emperor should dislike her.
So far, she can only abandon the car to protect the handsome.
Empress Zhao looked at the emperor and said, "The concubine thinks this testimony is true, after the accident of the Mo family, the old princess did enter the palace to find the queen mother, and the concubine also wondered, the relationship between the old princess and the queen mother is not good, why after the Mo family had an accident, she also entered the palace to find the queen mother, it turned out to be looking for the queen mother to save the Mo family." ”
The emperor nodded and said, "It turns out that the queen also suspects that it was the queen mother who helped the Mo family destroy the account books and testimony. ”
Empress Zhao's throat choked.
She didn't say that, the Queen Mother helped the old princess save the Mo family, and helping to destroy the evidence and assassinate the Shangshu of the Criminal Department are two different things, how can they be confused.
Empress Zhao wanted to deny it, but the emperor didn't give her a chance, so she only said, "The matter of the imperial dining room, you were investigating it before, no matter what method you use, the queen mother and the Yongguo Mansion have been greedy for money from the imperial dining room for so many years, and I want them to spit it out." ”
Empress Zhao's face turned white, did the emperor really want to force her and the Queen Mother to turn against each other before giving up?
Spit it all out, the Queen Mother has been in the imperial dining room for so many years, I don't know how much she eats, and I don't know if half of it is left.
Empress Zhao subconsciously refused, "Your Majesty, this matter is too difficult, and the concubines are afraid that they will not be able to do it." ”
The emperor's forehead wrinkled, and his face was cold, "As the queen, I handed over the harem to you, for so many years, you didn't find out that the imperial dining room was greedy for ink, I didn't pursue you, and gave you the opportunity to make up for it, you just pushed it if you couldn't do it, is this what you should say as a queen?!"
Empress Zhao hurriedly knelt down and admitted her mistake, and the emperor waved his hand and said, "Since you can't do it, I won't embarrass you, come and pass on Concubine Li." ”
Before the emperor's voice fell, Li Guifei's voice came from outside, "Your Majesty, the concubine is here." ”
Your Majesty, "......." ”
The emperor has a headache on his forehead.
These two have been fighting for half their lives, and they are almost inseparable.
Concubine Li Guifei walked in, Queen Zhao looked at her high-spirited appearance, and she hated itchy, she said, "Your Majesty, the matter of checking the imperial dining room is within the concubine's business, so I won't bother the concubine's sister." ”
Li Guifei said with a smile, "Where is the queen, although this harem is under your control, but it is our duty to help the emperor share the worries, the queen is busy preparing for the marriage of Princess Qingrou, and she has no time to doppelganger, a little thing, my sister will do it for you." ”
Empress Zhao's hands clenched tightly under her sleeves and said, "The matter of the imperial dining room is related to the Queen Mother, and my sister really wants to investigate?"
When Empress Zhao said this, Concubine Li hesitated for a moment.
Although she knew that the Queen Mother and Empress Zhao had long been in the same boat, and even in order to help Empress Zhao Kuang her, at least she had to go back on the surface, and she was still waiting for the opportunity to take revenge and take a bad breath for herself and the third prince.
It's not worth tearing your face like this because of the matter of the imperial dining room.
Let Empress Zhao and the Queen Mother eat dogs just right.
Concubine Li Guifei said, "Since the queen doesn't want her sister to help, then my sister won't interfere, but the matter of the imperial dining room is very important, if the queen can't find out, my sister is willing to do it for her." ”
This is to say that her ability is greater than that of Empress Zhao, and Empress Zhao scoffed, but said nothing.
Concubine Li Guifei didn't plan to forget it like this, "Before the temporary steward of the imperial dining room, Father-in-law Lafu was the backing, and the queen really made Father-in-law Fu suffer a lot of grievances, and now I know that the silver ticket is not the income of the imperial dining room, and it can be regarded as the nonsense of the steward of the imperial dining room, should I release Father-in-law Fu?"
Empress Zhao gritted her teeth angrily, it was Gonggong Fu herself who said that she was under investigation and would not come out behind closed doors, and it was not she who locked Gonggong Fu up!
She relied on her mouth to please Father-in-law Fu, and provoked Father-in-law Fu to be angry with her.
The emperor waved his hand and said, "Let Fu come and serve, and you all retreat." ”
Out of the imperial study, Concubine Li said with a smile, "Sister, are you going to Yongning Palace?" ”
Empress Zhao gritted her teeth angrily, "Concubine Li wants to see the excitement of the Queen Mother?"
Li Guifei smiled and said, "I'm afraid that the queen will make the queen mother angry, so I will persuade her." ”
"Not necessarily!"
After speaking, Empress Zhao threw up her sleeves and left.
Concubine Li didn't really want to follow, she was in a good mood, so she turned around and went to the imperial garden to enjoy the flowers.
In Yongning Palace, the Queen Mother leaned on the chaise lonier, the palace maid took a beauty to hammer her legs, the Queen Mother's eyes were slightly closed, and no one knew what she was thinking.
Hearing the familiar footsteps, the queen mother's hand on the pillow waved, and the palace maid and the eunuch all retreated.
Empress Zhao stepped forward, the Queen Mother opened her eyes and glanced at her, seeing a few testimonies in her hand, a cold glow flashed in the Queen Mother's eyes.
can sit in the position of the queen mother, and how can she be a person who has no scheming at all, she said, "Say what you want to say." ”
Empress Zhao's face was pale, how could she have the grace and luxury of the past, how to look haggard and depressed, she said with difficulty, "The emperor is serious this time, Li Guifei is eyeing again, greedy for ink and phoenix seals, we can only keep one." ”
After a pause, the queen said slowly:
"Queen Mother, offended. ”
