Chapter 44: The Queen Mother's Thoughts

It's just dawn, but the Empress Dowager Cui has already gotten up. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

She had a head stroke, and she summoned the imperial doctor to acupuncture last night, and finally squinted for a while, but it became uncomfortable again, and she couldn't sleep all night.

I couldn't sleep, so I just got up early.

Aunt Liang has served her for many years, and she knows that Empress Dowager Cui gets up early when she is sick, so she comes in early to serve her to wash, and then beckons two little palace maids to help Empress Dowager Cui press her head.

Empress Dowager Cui leaned on the beauty couch and continued to close her eyes and pretend to sleep, while talking to Aunt Liang: "...... It seems that last night, Zhou Yun's plan did not go well, and Zichen Palace escaped. ”

Aunt Liang took a small hammer to beat her leg in person, and sighed: "Who said it wasn't, I was stopped by Xu Zhaorong in front of the Huangji Gate." ”

Empress Dowager Cui said: "Xu Zhaorong is a dog in Jiaolan Palace, and it seems to be a masterpiece of Jiaolan Palace." ”

Aunt Liang said: "The slave maid may not be like this, our Concubine Meng Shu is very smart, she won't know that letting the concubine out of the palace can confirm her crime, and stopping her in the palace is easy for the concubine to find an excuse to prevaricate." So I'm afraid that this Xu Zhaorong is making his own opinion. ”

Empress Dowager Cui listened to it and "hummed" softly, not knowing whether it was Xu Zhaorong or whom, and then she didn't speak.

Aunt Liang continued: "But even if Zhou Yun successfully took someone out last night, I'm afraid there is nothing to do with the concubine." It was not the concubine who was almost transported out of the palace last night, but a palace maid beside the concubine. Saying that, he looked at the Empress Dowager Cui and said, "This Zhou Zhonglang is afraid that he will also be calculated by the concubine." ”

Empress Dowager Cui said: "It seems that the news obtained by the mourning family is wrong, Meng Yuyu does not have a personal relationship with Zhou Yun as she heard, but it seems to be Zhou Yun's wishful thinking." ”

Aunt Liang said: "The slave maid is correct when she sees the news, the concubine and Zhou Zhonglang are indeed childhood sweethearts, and they are indeed almost married, but so many years have passed, and the concubine has been in the palace for more than three years, so I will say whether Zhou Zhonglang still has a heart." As he spoke, he looked at the Empress Dowager Cui and reminded: "You must know that our emperor is powerful all over the world, rich from all over the world, and heroic and outstanding, which can attract women's affection." ”

Empress Dowager Cui snorted and said mockingly: "Speaking of which, it's just greedy for the power of the emperor." ”

Aunt Liang sighed again: "This concubine's mind is difficult to guess now, there are thousands of ways to pick herself out, but she used the most ruthless way to even put Zhou Zhonglang together, after all, she is a person who grew up together, and she is also ruthless." ”

Empress Dowager Cui said: "Which woman in this palace is not ruthless, and the woman who is not ruthless has already become a pile of white bones." It's okay this way, if she is ruthless enough, she can be used by the mourning family. ”

Aunt Liang didn't speak for a while, and then asked the Empress Dowager Cui with some doubts: "Queen Mother, since you want to buy the concubine for your use to deal with the emperor, why didn't you stop what happened last night, but let Zhou Zhonglang's plan go on." ”

Empress Dowager Cui said: "The mourning family has its own intentions, first, the mourning family wants to try her, if she is really stupid enough to escape from the palace with Zhou Yun, such a fool is not necessary; second, if she and Zhou Yun successfully escape from the palace, it will also be good for the mourning family......"

Empress Dowager Cui snorted, and her eyes were sharp and gloomy: "It gave the mourning family a chance to separate the emperor and Zhou Bi." Zhou Bi holds the forbidden army in his hands, and whether the mourning family or the emperor gets his support, he will be like a tiger. But Zhou Bi is not slippery, and he is flattered by both the mourning family and the emperor, but neither side is loyal. Zhou Yun abducted the emperor's concubine from the palace, if the emperor does not pursue it, the hat on his head is not good-looking, and the government and the opposition will not stop there. But if Zhou Yun is disposed of, Zhou Yun is Zhou Bi's favorite youngest son, the emperor and Zhou Bi have to form a feud, and Zhou Bi no longer dares to believe that the emperor will let go of the Zhou family who has cuckolded him in the future, then Zhou Bi has to lean towards the mourning family and Jiong'er. ”

Aunt Liang smiled: "It's still the Queen Mother's wisdom." He said, "In this way, it was a pity last night. ”

Empress Dowager Cui squinted her eyes when she listened, her face was ruthless, Xu Zhaorong is a fool who has more than enough success and more than failure, and it is inevitable that she will be bad again after leaving her in the palace, so it is time to clean up.

At this moment, there was a sound of "dong dong" footsteps outside Jing'an Palace, and some palace people said: "The queen mother has arrived!"

Empress Dowager Cui frowned when she heard this, and then she saw a burst of red and fiery queens walking in, and when she came in, she curtsied to Empress Dowager Cui and called "Auntie", and then asked Aunt Liang to get out of the way, and she squatted down next to Empress Dowager Cui.

Empress Dowager Cui's brows furrowed more and more, and she asked her impatiently, "What are you doing this early in the morning?"

The queen was in a good mood, and the red light on her face couldn't be covered, and she couldn't help but show off to the Empress Dowager Cui: "Aunt guess what Erchen did last night, Erchen asked all the palace concubines to go to Fengxian Hall to chant Buddha for the first emperor, and they spent the whole night." ”

said a heavy "hum", and said: "Don't think that the emperor has withdrawn the palace power of the sons and taken away the phoenix seals of the sons, and they can look down on the sons." The sons just want them to know that the sons and daughters in this palace are the queens, and they have to do whatever the sons want them to do!"

Empress Dowager Cui looked at her and saw that her eyes were dark, obviously in order to toss the palace concubine herself, and she didn't sleep all night.

Empress Dowager Cui didn't know what to be happy about about tossing an inconsequential palace concubine and making herself tired all night. People say that she hurt the enemy by 1,000 and self-inflicted damage of 800, but she injured the enemy by 800 and self-inflicted with 1,000, and none of the palace concubines who could really hinder her were injured, but she could still be proud of it.

Empress Dowager Cui sometimes wants to open the niece's brain to see what kind of strange structure it is.

Empress Dowager Cui asked, "Last night, you didn't hear anything except for the tossing palace concubine for a night?"

The queen was very puzzled, looked at the Empress Dowager Cui, and asked with a blank face: "What did you hear?

Empress Dowager Cui closed her eyes, finally gave up, waved her hand, and said to her: "Go down, the mourning family wants to be quiet and quiet." ”

The queen didn't want to leave yet, she still wanted to talk to the Empress Dowager Cui about her cleverness and wit and share the process of tossing the palace concubine, and said, "Auntie, the retainer hasn't ...... yet."

Empress Dowager Cui said sharply: "Stand down!"

The queen was so frightened that she retreated, rubbing her handkerchief and looking at the Queen Mother, with a blank face, looking like she didn't know why the Queen Mother was angry.

The queen couldn't help but say in her heart, her aunt is really getting more and more moody, it's really unbearable.

Although the queen was unwilling, she didn't dare to disobey the Empress Dowager Cui, flattened her mouth dissatisfied, then stood up, said "yes", and then bent her knees, shook the handkerchief and went out unwillingly.

Empress Dowager Cui watched her walk away, and then said hatefully: "I really don't know how my Cui family can raise such a brainless person." ”

Aunt Liang smiled lightly, but she didn't dare to speak for the queen.

Such a big thing happened last night, the queen didn't know at all, the Empress Dowager Cui had a headache, and she didn't see the queen care about it since she came in, but only cared about her own thoughts about tossing the palace concubine. Sometimes the queen is so simple-minded that it is really speechless.
