Chapter 234: Something That Saves Life

Jiang Yu nodded with a smile and said to Empress Dowager Cui: "Indeed, the name of mother and son is there, and the emperor must also take care of his own reputation when acting." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 However, there are exceptions. ”

Empress Dowager Cui's eyes cracked, glaring at her fiercely, as if waiting for her to say something shocking.

Jiang Yu continued: "If the Queen Mother does something wrong, it will even damage the inheritance of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the foundation of the society. You see, the emperor is in his twenties, but he doesn't even have half an heir under his knees, not only the clan is looking anxious, but even the civil and military officials outside are also staring at when the emperor will give birth to the prince. It's not that there have been no palace concubines who have been pregnant over the years, so if there is no child, it is naturally not a problem with the emperor's body, but why is it that someone is pregnant but can't give birth. The Queen Mother said that in such a strange situation, even the civil and military officials outside have to mutter a few times from time to time. ”

Empress Dowager Cui sneered and snorted, "What do you want to say, do you think that you want to bring down the queen mother of the mourning family based on these specious rumors?"

Jiang Yu still smiled and said: "Look at what the Queen Mother said, the concubines are not stupid, how can they naively think that rumors can have any impact on the Queen Mother." The concubine just thought too much about it since she lost her child, so she went to carefully check why the palace concubine couldn't give birth to a child, and collected some evidence by the way. For example, the lost children of the concubines and concubines are not to be mentioned, such as Li Jieyu, who served by the emperor's side in the early years, she was the first palace concubine to help the emperor conceive a child, at that time, the emperor had not yet ascended the throne, and still lived in the palace as a prince. It is said that she accidentally fell and lost her child, and was blamed by the emperor and snubbed by the emperor because of this. But the concubine heard another statement, saying that it was the tocolytic medicine she used every day that really caused Li Jieyu's miscarriage, and at that time, Li Jieyu's fetus was the responsibility of Imperial Doctor Chen, who had committed suicide and died. Oh, the death of Imperial Physician Chen can indeed take away many secrets, but sometimes it can also reveal many secrets to the world. For example, Imperial Physician Chen knew that he was killing his head, and he might have left something to save his family's life, but the concubine was lucky enough to let these things fall into the hands of the concubine. Another example is Deng Guiren, who was killed when she was pregnant...... Tut-tut, this palace is really evil, and anyone who is pregnant will always have some accidents. ”

Empress Dowager Cui's eyes were cold and gloomy, but her tone remained the same, and she said, "I really didn't expect that the concubine would have such scheming. ”

Jiang Yu continued to laugh: "Follow the queen mother, how can the concubine have no dim sum." What the Queen Mother promised her concubines at the beginning, who knows if the Queen Mother will fulfill it, and the concubines always have to prepare something to protect their lives, don't you say?"

Then he slowly put away the smile on his face, and said: "The Queen Mother thinks about it herself, how dare the concubines come to see the Queen Mother if they are not prepared." The emperor may just be suspicious of the Queen Mother now, but there is no evidence. If something happens to the concubine today, someone will naturally offer the things that the concubine used to save her life to the emperor, and the emperor must be very happy to receive these things. When the emperor announces these evidences to the world, the reputation of the Queen Mother is not good, and the civil and military officials and the people of Liming will probably sympathize with the emperor. Of course, no matter how big a mistake the queen mother makes, the emperor can't kill his mother without filial piety, but build a palace and invite the queen mother to live in, and then learn from Zheng Zhuanggong to 'don't see each other until Huangquan', presumably no one will say anything. The queen mother is not the emperor's biological mother, and I am afraid that she will not learn from Zheng Zhuang Gong to 'dig the ground to see her mother'. ”

After speaking, he finally made a summary and said: "So the Queen Mother, if you have something to say, let's still say it well, don't just move your hands and feet, it's easy to hurt the enemy by a thousand and lose eight hundred." ”

Empress Dowager Cui looked at her and said, "Concubine, you are very good, you are bold enough and clever enough." But do you think the mourning family will be so easily bluffed by you?" Her hands and feet have always been clean, and even if anyone suspects, they will not find the slightest evidence.

Jiang Yu said: "Is the concubine bluffing the queen mother, the concubine thinks that the queen mother had better not try, it is easy to regret it." To be honest, the concubine felt that she had a good time cooperating with the Queen Mother during this time, and she still wanted to continue to cooperate with the Queen Mother. The matter of the prince of Ning Guo, the concubine is really regrettable, but the concubine feels that as a partner, the queen mother should still give the concubine some trust. You see, the defense map is such an important thing, the concubines have stolen it from the emperor for you, and you must have checked it, this defense map is real. You should always believe in the sincerity of your concubine. ”

Then he continued to talk nonsense and said: "The Empress Dowager thinks that the matter of the prince of Ning Guo is a conspiracy, and the concubine feels that the person behind this scene is most likely to be Concubine Shu." Yes, it must be Lady Concubine. You think that Princess Cheng has been befriending Concubine Cheng recently, and the one who can instruct Princess Cheng to go to Xuanhua Palace must be Concubine Shu, and she will not be the concubine, who is hated by Princess Cheng. Do you still know that Xu Zhaorong wanted to catch the concubine's traitor at that time, and Xu Zhaorong was Concubine Shu's dog. Therefore, the concubine suspected that Concubine Shu might have wanted to calculate the prince of Ningguo and the concubine at the beginning, and by the way, she asked Princess Cheng to catch the adulterer together so that the matter could not be covered, but the middle link went wrong, but it turned out to be the prince of Ningguo and Princess Cheng. The Queen Mother thinks about it, is this conjecture very reasonable. ”

Empress Dowager Cui naturally guessed that it was Meng Xuanyu, but what she suspected most was still Meng Xuanyu.

Empress Dowager Cui didn't speak for a long time, but just stared at Jiang Yu fiercely with a particularly deep gaze, as if she wanted to see a hole in her.

Jiang Yu sighed and said: "The concubine has already made the matter so clear, if the queen mother can tolerate the rudeness and disrespect of the concubine just now, and continue to trust the concubine, the concubine is still willing to continue to serve the queen mother." If the queen mother is unwilling to trust the concubines anymore, although it is regrettable to break up, there is no way to do it. However, the concubine is a cheap life, and the queen mother should keep it. ”

The gloomy look on Empress Dowager Cui's face suddenly stretched, and she smiled, as if the confrontation just now had never happened, and said: "Maybe you are right, the mourning family really shouldn't doubt you, no matter what, it is always a great achievement for you to present the defense map to the mourning family." ”

Saying that, he stretched out his hand, patted Jiang Yu's shoulder gently, and said, "Don't blame the mourning family for making a heavier move just now, the mourning family just wants to try the concubine's sincerity to the mourning family again." Now that she has been tempted, the concubine is really trustworthy. She bit the word "very trustworthy" a little hard, and it sounded like she was gritting her teeth.

Then he continued: "As for the life of the concubine...... The Queen Mother reached out and touched Jiang Yu's face again, and said with an appreciative expression: "How can the mourning family give up such a fresh and beautiful life." ”

Jiang Yu dodged his face, dodged the hand of the Empress Dowager Cui, and said with a smile: "It's good that the Empress Dowager can figure it out, and the concubines still trust the Empress Dowager very much." ”

Empress Dowager Cui sat up straight again, lowered her eyelids, and said, "Since this is the case, then the evidence you said should not be handed over to the mourning family." ”

Jiang Yu smiled: "Didn't the Queen Mother say that she trusted the concubines, let the concubines keep those things for you, the Queen Mother must understand that the concubines will not give them to the emperor, right?"

Empress Dowager Cui didn't speak again, looking at Jiang Yu, she knew for the first time that there were such thick-skinned people in this world.

And at this moment, the sudden palace door outside was suddenly knocked three times, and Cui Chongyi's voice came in from outside, saying: "Queen Mother, Gonggong Wan came to ask when the concubine could go back, saying that the emperor woke up and was looking for the concubine." ”

Jiang Yu stood up and said to the Queen Mother: "If the Queen Mother has nothing else to do, the concubine will retire first?" and said: "The Queen Mother also knows, the emperor must be suspicious if the concubine stays here for a long time." Then he bent his knees to the Empress Dowager Cui and said, "The concubine will go to the Empress Dowager to say goodbye to you when she is free." After speaking, without waiting for Empress Dowager Cui to say anything, she turned around and went out from Ning'an Palace.

It wasn't until he went out of the gate and exhaled deeply in front of Cui Chongyi. Then he said hello to Cui Chongyi and left in stride.
