140. One hundred and forty, drunk
If it is said that the conflict between Zhao Jinyan and Fu Hui this time only happened in Fengqi Palace, it will not spread outside Fengqi Palace, after all, the current Fengqi Palace is not an impermeable wall, but at least all the people in the palace are people who belong to Fu Yuan and Zhao Jinyan.
But this time, the contradiction between Zhao Jinyan and Fu Yuan was not small, and Zhao Jinyan did not return to Fengqi Palace overnight.
The most important thing is that after Zhao Jinyan married Fuyuan, the emperor's bedroom has completely become a decoration, no matter how busy he is, Zhao Jinyan will return to Fengqi Palace every night to rest, and although he is not idle recently, there is absolutely no major matter that the emperor needs to stay up all night to deal with.
Therefore, the anomaly that Zhao Jinyan did not return to Fengqi Palace was naturally discovered quickly, and was even seen by people with intentions.
After listening to Lady Feng's advice, the Empress Dowager reached out and took the medicine bowl in the Empress Dowager's hand, and sent the decoction directly into her mouth.
Seeing this, the Queen Mother hurriedly took the tea and came up to clear the mouth of the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother waved her hand and said: "This tonic is not as bitter as the previous medicine, this tea is not necessary, and the mourning family can't drink it." β
The Empress Dowager's illness has been cured after a period of care by the imperial doctor, but because of her old age and serious illness, she has become a lot weaker, and she still has to lie in bed to recuperate, so the imperial doctor prescribed a period of tonic medicine to the empress dowager.
Although the Empress Dowager was not very happy to drink, she gritted her teeth and drank it for the sake of her own body and bones.
When the Queen Mother heard the Queen Mother's words, she was not reluctant, but put the tea bowl in her hand on the tray of the maid behind her.
Then he sat quietly again on the edge of the Queen Mother's bed.
The Empress Dowager glanced at the Empress Dowager, then looked at Lady Feng, and asked: "Don't they all say that the emperor and the empress are like one person, how can there be a conflict lightly, and the news is true?" β
"It should be true." When Lady Feng heard this, she also hesitated slightly before replying, "Since the emperor and the queen got married, they have been resting in the Fengqi Palace every night, but last night, they rested alone in the dormitory, and I heard that the door of the queen's palace was closed early. β
"Huh?"
The Empress Dowager nodded thoughtfully, thought about it, and asked, "Do you know why the emperor and the queen have a conflict?" β
"This ...... Can't confirm it? β
Lady Feng has always spoken cautiously, because of this reason, she herself was a little unconvinced, but she still told the Empress Dowager truthfully: "The slave seems to have heard that the emperor met Yang Cairen in the plum garden yesterday, and this scene happened to be seen by the queen mother, the queen mother went back to Fengqi Palace at that time, and later after the emperor returned to Fengqi Palace, he only stayed for a while, and then left, there should be a quarrel." β
"It should be ......"
The Empress Dowager sneered when she heard this, "When, in this palace, we have also become deaf." It's just such a trivial matter, and you have to guess like this. β
When Lady Feng heard this, she lowered her head and said nothing.
The Empress Dowager took a deep breath, as if talking to herself, and said: "The emperor and the queen don't even trust this idea, a little Yang Cairen, it's not a problem at all, if the two really have a conflict, I'm afraid that there are other reasons, you go to the queen to come over." β
"Yes."
When Lady Feng heard this, she was about to bow and leave. At this time, the Empress Dowager suddenly stopped her.
Lady Feng paused and looked up at the Empress Dowager, but at this time, the Empress Dowager said thoughtfully and slowly: "Forget it, wait and see, if the emperor doesn't return to Fengqi Palace tonight, let's make plans again." β
The Empress Dowager listened to the Empress Dowager's words on the side, raised her head and glanced at the Empress Dowager, as if she was surprised by the Empress Dowager's sudden patience.
At this time, the Empress Dowager seemed to notice the Empress Dowager's gaze, and said with a smile: "If this matter is true, then the emperor and the queen have a contradiction, and they may also be out of their hearts. β
"But ......"
The Queen Mother hesitated for a moment, but still opened her mouth and whispered: "Didn't the Queen Mother always ...... first?"
The Queen Mother's words stopped and stopped, but the Queen Mother heard the meaning of her words, naturally, she didn't do such things that hurt others and herself first, that is, she was always dealing with the emperor and the queen.
And the Empress Dowager showed a wry smile on her face, and slowly spoke: "You are right, what the mourning family did before was indeed contrary to what was said today, but those things at the beginning, the mourning family had to do it." β
The Empress Dowager sighed softly in her heart, whether it was the first time that Fu Hui said that she wanted to reduce the palace people, or Zhao Jinyan's theory of abolishing the harem later, these things, if she, the empress dowager, did not take the lead in opposing it, I am afraid that no one would dare to come out to oppose it, so she had to do these things, and it also made the emperor and the queen angry to deal with her, but in this matter today, she obviously has a choice.
The Empress Dowager stopped at the point and didn't want to say more, but the Empress Dowager's face seemed to have something in mind, and she suddenly opened her mouth and whispered to the Empress Dowager: "What if the emperor and the empress reconcile, does the queen mother really not figure out what the reason is?" β
The Queen Mother tried to persuade, but when the Queen Mother heard this, she opened her eyes, looked at the Queen Mother with a sharp gaze, looked at her, and suddenly sneered at the corner of her mouth: "The Queen Mother, how can you look at the mourning family, you and the mourning family are not the same heart now." β
A trace of panic flashed in the queen mother's eyes, but she still forced herself to calm down and reluctantly smiled and said, "The queen mother is joking." β
"Whether the mourning family is joking or not, you know it in your own heart."
The Empress Dowager took a deep breath and said again: "The mourning family understands that you originally planned to escape from the world, but now for the sake of Jin Yuan's children and your grandchildren, you have come out to re-take care of these mundane things, the mourning family doesn't know if this is your own idea, or persuaded by others, and the mourning family doesn't want to know, but since the mourning family promised to help you, it will definitely be done, but you are playing with the mourning family, this is your fault!" β
"Queen Mother's ......"
The Queen Mother didn't know what to say. And the Empress Dowager chuckled again: "The mourning family knows that you have always been well-behaved, and you are also anxious about this matter, you are afraid that after the emperor and the queen are separated, the emperor will like other women, in case a woman is pregnant with a child, then Siyuan will not have a chance to win the crown prince's position, right?" β
Because she was in her own bedroom, the Queen Mother did not shy away from it, and directly pointed out all the thoughts of the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother didn't know how to answer, so she could only bow her head and remain silent.
After the Empress Dowager said the above words, she ruthlessly shattered the Empress Dowager's dream: "You think too naΓ―ve, first of all, no matter from childhood to adulthood, Fuyuan's body has always been good, it is impossible not to have children, that is, the two of them are really difficult to have children, but it is impossible for the emperor and the queen to let Jin Yuan cut off the heir, and take the risk of letting the world point to their backbone to adopt Siyuan as an adopted son......"
"You play the emotional card against the two of them, but it is precisely this that may become a point of real hesitation for them, among the royal clan, there are too many children who are more suitable to be adopted sons than Siyuan, Siyuan is special, but it is not good to be too special."
The Empress Dowager's palms unconsciously clenched into fists, and the Empress Dowager saw her demeanor in her eyes, and did not even move her brows, but still continued to speak in a cold tone: "If you want to take care of Jin Yuan's child, there are many ways, to adopt him as an adopted son, it is precisely the worst way, first you and the Chen family hit the idea on the queen, thinking about trying to please her, this is obviously a very unwise approach." β
"The queen mother didn't say she would help us, she just watched us make a fool."
The Queen Mother raised her head, her eyes looked at the Queen Mother with some coldness, and there was obviously a little anger in her eyes, this is a kind of fooled mood, at first she always thought that the Queen Mother was thinking about her feelings, so she promised to help them, but now she looks, how is it more like being sarcastic.
When the Empress Dowager heard this, she also put away the smile on her face: "What do you mean by this, the mourning family said that they would help you, is it possible that they are lying to you, with your methods, in this life, Siyuan doesn't want to become a prince, the mourning family has its own way of mourning, the reason why I let you be stupid is just to let the emperor and the queen relax their vigilance!" β
The Empress Dowager naturally won't admit it, although she does prefer to make Zhao Siyuan the crown prince in her heart, but this is not something she has to do, for her, Zhao Siyuan is good to become the prince, but if the price to pay is too great, it is not a cost-effective deal.
Of course, the Queen Mother and Concubine Ning, the Queen Mother didn't want these two to be separated from her, so she temporarily stabilized the two.
Sure enough, the Queen Mother's sharp reprimand made the Queen Mother calm down suddenly, and the Queen Mother's eyes looked at the Queen Mother, and she hurriedly said with a smiling face: "Queen Mother, I was wrong, don't be angry." You also know that Jin Yuan is gone, and now Siyuan is the person I care about the most in the world, how can I not be in a hurry when I meet him. β
When the Queen Mother said later, she couldn't cry, and the Queen Mother sighed softly, but didn't say anything, just patted the Queen Mother's hand, and seemed to accept the Queen Mother's apology.
The emperor and the queen had a conflict, and everyone received rumors about it, but because the relationship between the two was so good in the past, there was no movement, but they were watching the movement.
Who knows, for three days in a row, the emperor has not set foot in the gate of Fengqi Palace, and the queen only closes the palace gate for days, and has no intention of going to the emperor.
Others have recalled it now, and it seems that the two really have a conflict, and it is not a small contradiction.
Looking upwards, the wind and waves are calm, but because of this incident, there are also hidden turbulences.
At this time, a rumor that had already been spread was noisy again, and the queen's life story once again became a topic on the streets and alleys, after tea and dinner.
Of course, if you just talk about your life experience, of course there is nothing new about it, but it is too good to step on it at this point in time, the emperor and queen have emotional problems, and when the queen's father was drinking flower wine outside, he was drunk, and he first said the queen's nonsense, which added fire to this rumor.
