45. Calculations by the parties

Duanrou Guifei......

In the eyes of Emperor Mingjing, Duanrou Guifei is just like her sister, a woman who does not fight or rob, and she stays in Xianfu Palace in peace, and she never takes the initiative to go to other palaces unless necessary.

If it's her......

"Xian'er, I'm going to disappoint you after all......"

In the main hall, Emperor Mingjing's slight sigh echoed.

Pei Yunruo is a smart woman, and she is ready to be found as a pawn of blue grass, so she needs to find a scapegoat!

Find a woman who has the ability to kill the four princes, has the motive to kill the four princes, and has no help from other palace concubines, and even the queen mother won't ask too much!

This candidate is only Duanrou Guifei!

At this time, Su Zhiwan, who was asleep, didn't know that the trouble she expected was already coming.

Following.

Su Zhiwan freshened up and ate early, and after kicking Li Chengze out of Xianfu Palace, she took a sedan chair to Chengqian Palace leisurely.

As long as the queen is the queen for a day, as long as Emperor Ming Jing has not explicitly expressed it, the palace concubine still has to ask the queen for peace every day.

This is the ancestral family law, and it must not be broken.

The Chengqian Palace was solemn, the queen was not even in the mood to dress up, she just pulled a bun at random, the powder was not applied, she was wearing a plain Luo skirt, there was no smile on her face, and she didn't even have the smile she used to pretend to have, so she sat quietly on the high seat.

Even such a haggard queen is still incredibly beautiful.

However, no one knows what kind of wounds the body under this shiny skin bag is.

When Su Zhiwan arrived, the queen didn't stab her like in the past, she just gave a few words of instruction, and then led the concubines to the Queen Mother's Cining Palace.

Su Zhiwan knows that this is the highlight of the day.

Inexplicably, she remembered the queen's premature birth.

As a concubine, she was also pulled into the water so inexplicably.

However, last time, I just wet my shoes, and after a few interrogations, I gently put them down.

This time, these women, if you don't let her concubine shed her skin, I'm afraid it won't be the style of the harem.

Qianqing Palace, outside the palace.

"Is there something wrong with my aunt?" Huang Shun stopped Aunt Jingshui, who was about to go in, and asked with a pleasant face.

Aunt Jingshui is the person next to the Queen Mother, if it was usual, Huang Shun would not dare to stop people like this.

The hall is the place where the emperor dealt with the twists and turns after the early dynasty, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter.

On weekdays, the aunt next to the Queen Mother can naturally be accommodating and tell on her behalf.

However, today, since the early dynasty, the emperor is obviously holding back the fire in his heart, and the matter has been put into the still water, which has provoked the emperor's dissatisfaction with him, and the chief eunuch may have done it.

Thinking of the bloody wind and rain of the early dynasty today, Huang Shun shuddered.

In some political confrontations, Huang Shun has served Emperor Ming Jing for many years, and he has been exposed to it, so he naturally understands a little.

But because I understand a little, I can't wait to do things with my neck bent.

There are some things that he can't play with.

However, in his position, there are few people who are close to him, or stumbling, and he can't be low-key.

He just needs to remember that his master is only the emperor.

"Father-in-law, can you enter Tongbing, the Queen Mother wants to invite the emperor to go to Cining Palace." Jingshui blessed the body and bowed, and said softly.

Huang Shunke remembered that last night, the emperor asked people to press the blue grass and send it to Cining Palace early in the morning.

Obviously, the Queen Mother invited the emperor to go for this reason.

This matter was personally ordered by the emperor, so naturally he couldn't neglect it.

Huang Shun said, "This is natural, Aunt Lao is waiting here for a while." ”

"There is Father-in-law Lao."

When the palace concubines braved the wind and snow and arrived at Cining Palace to ask for peace, the Queen Mother did not appear, but Aunt Jingshan beside the Queen Mother came forward to greet them.

After the palace concubine took her seat, the queen, as the lord of the middle palace, asked, "I don't know ...... queen mother?"

Aunt Jingshan said, "The Queen Mother will be here later." ”

said that it was later, and after a long time, Su Zhiwan's tea was added several times, and she didn't see the shadow of the Queen Mother.

Seeing that the snow gradually stopped, the cold wind hit the bare branches outside the temple, and countless snow fell.

The queen mother is an elder, and these juniors, no matter how impatient they are, they can't just leave.

It is impossible for the Queen Mother to toss them for no reason, and it is impossible for her to save the face of these concubines of the family for no reason.

Su Zhiwan thought with her knees that she knew what the Queen Mother was planning.

The Queen Mother has always given people the image of being kind-eyed, amiable, and with some thunderous movements, which in her opinion is completely unsuitable for her to do it herself, so as not to destroy her reputation that has always been very good.

So, she needed a gun, a gun to shoot wherever she wanted.

Let's ask, who in this world is stronger than his son, Emperor Mingjing, the current lord of the world?

Sure enough, Cao Cao Cao arrived!

Just listen. The little eunuch outside the palace sang, "The emperor has arrivedβ€”"

As soon as Emperor Ming Jing walked into the main hall, he raised his eyebrows, and found that all the palace concubines who should have arrived had arrived, not like a greeting for peace, but like waiting for a verdict.

The queen led all the concubines to say goodbye, lifted the hem of her skirt, and kowtowed, "The concubines/concubines meet the emperor." ”

Emperor Ming Jing saw the queen at a glance among the many warblers and swallows, like a wordless attraction.

Perhaps, just as men are always naturally attracted to beautiful women.

Her expression was haggard, and her every move seemed to be a forced smile, and her words and deeds always revealed Xiao Suo's pathos.

Thinking of the four princes who had passed away, Emperor Ming Jing sighed slightly, "Get up." ”

"Your Majesty."

After the palace concubines were flattened, they saw that the curtain of the inner hall was opened, and Aunt Jingshan helped a woman who looked like a nun to come in.

Wearing a robe with auspicious clouds and Futian clothes, a dark monk's hat on his head, and delicately maintained fingers silently rolling the sandalwood Buddha beads in his hand.

This is...... Dowager?

Su Zhiwan raised her eyebrows, looked down at the Kodan on her fingernails, and a smile inexplicably curled up at the corner of her mouth.

The Queen Mother said with grief on her face, "The emperor is not to blame the mourning family for being rude......

Emperor Mingjing helped the Queen Mother to sit on the seat, only to hear the Queen Mother say again, "Mourning family yesterday...... Prayer and chanting in the temple of the bongsei, forgetting the hour for a while, too late to freshen up......"

Emperor Ming Jing asked, "Mother, but because of the ...... of the four princes?"

The Queen Mother held his hand tightly, "Emperor, I'm ashamed to mourn my family......"

Emperor Ming Jing patted her hand soothingly, and said, "Mother doesn't have to be like this, it's cold in winter, take care of your body, it's that child...... I can't afford to be a blessing ......"

Emperor Ming Jing was not uncomfortable in his heart, after all, he was his own child, and his blood was connected.

From the current point of view, if it weren't for the Queen Mother's insistence on going her own way, braving the wind and snow overnight, she would have carried the four princes who were already infected with the cold because of the cold to Cining Palace, and the four princes might still be well raised in Chengqian Palace, or they might be sick and weak, but they were still alive before.

But what's the use of talking about that now?

On the one hand, his mother who felt guilty and chanted the scriptures that night, and on the other hand, the child who had passed away, although Emperor Mingjing had a pimple in his heart, he still chose to appease the Queen Mother.

Not to mention, the issue of emotional tendencies, at present, Emperor Ming Jing is still inseparable from the support of the Wang family.

The queen watched the mother and son who were the most noble in the world, and under her nose, there was no trace of alienation and mustard, and her heart was like ashes......

Sure enough, the emperor who rules the country with filial piety......

The death of a sister-in-law was fooled by the Queen Mother alive.

The robe is really dazzling.

Dare to use the Buddha as a raft, this kind eyebrows, treasure and solemn queen mother, is not afraid of the night when she goes to bed at night?

No one knew what the queen thought, and no one cared.

With yesterday's one, everyone knows that now the queen is completely disgusted by the emperor.

After a while, I didn't know what the Queen Mother said, but I saw Emperor Mingjing pause, took another sip of tea, put down the tea bowl, looked at Su Zhiwan, and said, "Concubine, look at this thing." ”

As soon as the words fell, Huang Shun, who was behind Emperor Ming Jing, held a page of paper in both hands, lowered his head, and slowly walked in front of her.

Su Zhiwan took it casually, her eyes looked around, and she glanced at Pei Yunruo, who was looking at her, meaninglessly.

Frightened, Pei Yunruo hurriedly lowered his head.

I heard Emperor Mingjing say again, "Bring the blue grass up!" ”

The rough envoy waiting outside the door hurriedly carried the dying blue grass into the hall.

Su Zhiwan glanced at the bloody palace maid on the ground, and she didn't need to look closely to know what was written on the paper in her hand.

Harem, it's always you who fight, and I'll appear.

"Does the concubine have anything to say?" Emperor Ming Jing asked lightly.

"Of course the concubine will not admit an inexplicable evidence!" Su Zhiwan stood up and said loudly, her eyebrows and eyes were clear, and she was not pretending.

As soon as Su Zhiwan's words came out, the palace concubine who was still confused naturally understood, it turned out that the emperor was condemning Concubine Rou's crime, and now the evidence is conclusive!

The queen raised her head suddenly, her eyes were like substance, nailed to Su Zhiwan's body, and her slender fingers tightly pulled the Su embroidered silk handkerchief in her hand.

"Bold! How can the emperor be so presumptuous! Now the evidence is conclusive! Do you still want to deny it? The Queen Mother said sharply, "Someone is coming-"

Emperor Ming Jing frowned, waved his hand, interrupted the Queen Mother's words, sighed, and said, "What else do you want to say?" ”

He always remembered that before Empress Ming Xiaoyuan died, she asked him to take care of her sisters Su Zhiwan and Ze'er.

Even if the evidence is conclusive now, he is willing to listen to what Concubine Duanrou has to say.

In the end, it is the sister of Empress Ming Xiaoyuan.

Su Zhiwan said without humility or arrogance, "Dare to ask the emperor, is this confession dictated by this palace maid named Lancao on the ground?" ”

For a long time, Emperor Mingjing didn't speak, Huang Shun peeked at it, the emperor had closed his eyes, and it was clear that he didn't want to speak.

Huang Shun had no choice but to stand up and say, "It's Lancao dictation." ”

Su Zhiwan was not annoyed, and said, "According to the confession, Lan Cao listened to the orders of the concubines, avoided the palace maids and eunuchs in the queen's palace, and put a piece of ice in the swaddling clothes of the four princes while people were not paying attention......"

Huang Shun moved his lips, and before he could speak, he heard Su Zhiwan say again, "Then the problem is, regardless of whether this confession is true or not!" How to explain the fact that the four princes, whose condition had stabilized in Chengqian Palace, died early in Cining Palace? ”

When the Queen Mother heard this, her eyelids jumped.
