Shen Shuzhao followed him to the main hall where secrets were handled, where only people with the status of Tingwei were allowed to enter and exit. He ordered someone to take out a copy of the letter that should be presented to the Queen Mother, and she took it, and looked at ten lines.

When she read it slowly until it was finished, Shen Shuzhao's hand trembled, raised her head and glanced at each other with Ting Wei, needless to say, she already understood.

"He actually told everything he had done for the Queen Mother......" Shen Shuzhao put down the letter transcribed by the official and muttered, "It's really ruthless." ”

"More than that. And what Mrs. Li said is in line with what the Queen Mother has done. Ting Wei said in a deep voice, "On her body, she also carries Li Chong's black account book of recording the Empress Dowager and other officials. ”

Shen Shuzhao was speechless for a while.

She had no choice but to take the piece of paper and ask, "How can you be sure that the letter was written by Lord Li himself?" ”

Compared with Li Chong's handwriting before his death, there is a □□. If it is imitated, it must have been made by a master. The official had privately invited a number of famous friends who were good at calligraphy in the capital to come and take a look, and they all thought that it was Li Chong's own handwriting. ”

Seeing Shen Shuzhao's suspicions, he paused and continued: "Actually, the important thing is not the suicide note itself, the important thing is ...... What does the emperor think. ”

"What can the emperor think? He only believes in people who are not a threat to him. Shen Shuzhao put down the imitation letter and said in a tone that he had known for a long time.

She really knows the temperament of the Son of Heaven very well.

Nearest the king nearest the gallows. The Queen Mother said to her when she entered the palace that she should always keep this sentence in mind.

"Lord Ni, where is that Mrs. Li, who rushed back to the capital all the way, now?"

"At the Yin Hotel in the East Pavilion, the love has gradually settled down."

"I want to see her outside."

"Yes."

At this time, a servant ran over and whispered a few words in his ear, and Tingwei said to Shen Shuzhao: "Second Miss, there is something that needs to be dealt with by this official, let him take you over, and this official will not accompany you for the time being." ”

"Adults are polite, little women don't dare to disturb adults handling cases."

So Shen Shuzhao was led by a group of officials to the Yin Hotel in the yamen, which was specially used to receive visitors. I don't know if it's because the yamen itself is full of Johnson and a cold atmosphere, entering the gloomy hall, the damp and cold air after the heavy rain makes her can't help but cover her nose with her cuffs, "Madame is inside." The officer who led her to the front pointed to the inner room in front of her.

She walked in and saw a beautiful and lonely woman leaning on the elm black lacquer case, her eyes were blank, staring at the long window of the upstairs thoughtfully. And on the woman's body, the goose yellow double-embroidered light Luo long skirt always vaguely reveals a simple beauty, and the silhouette is like a blooming and lonely flower.

I heard that Li Chong was still pregnant when she left, and I couldn't help but feel a little pity. Shen Shuzhao walked to the door of the screen silently, and then waved away the others, and after a while, Mrs. Li, who was facing her with her back and her back in a bun, suddenly said, "Come in." ”

Shen Shuzhao was a little surprised, but she didn't expect that she had already noticed that someone was here.

"You don't have to hide at the door. Have a seat. ”

Hearing Mrs. Li say this, Shen Shuzhao walked in, although she had not planned to talk to her before.

Mrs. Li looked back, her eyes flowed, and her temperament was overwhelming. "I heard that there is a celebrity next to the Queen Mother, and she is still a lady of the mother family, so it must be you."

"Listening to what Madame said made the little woman ashamed." Shen Shuzhao didn't expect her to know so much about the situation in the palace.

"Why should the second young lady be restrained? I've had the courage to come to me. The magnolia finger in Mrs. Li's left hand gracefully lifted the armrest of the teapot and filled two cups of warm tea, "That person said you would come, so I knew it was you." ”

Shen Shuzhao's eyes flashed with doubt, "That person? ”

Mrs. Li seemed to smile, "Second Miss doesn't know." ”

Feeling the aura coming from her, Shen Shuzhao didn't plan to go around with her, "Mrs. Li, which noble person are you referring to?" ”

"Nature...... It's the noble man who is closer to you. Mrs. Li's tone was light.

She thought about it for a while, and finally replied uncertainly: "Could it be that Mrs. Fei is talking about the eldest princess?" ”

Mrs. Li took another sip of tea, and raised her hand in a gentle and graceful manner, "...... Isn't that a princess? ”

Shen Shuzhao didn't know Mrs. Li's intention to mention Wei Yang directly to her, could it be that she was directly declaring to herself and the Queen Mother that she had already had contact with the emperor - so she was fearless?

"The yamen is full of men, and they have nothing to do with me except to ask questions, and it's really boring for me to sit here from thousands of miles of Jingzhou."

"If Madame wants to serve you thoroughly, you can say it to Captain Tingwei at any time."

Mrs. Li said in a casual tone, "I am only a woman, how can I ask to be the queen mother at will?" The tone between the words was flat but full of indifference. Shen Shuzhao didn't answer, after all, this matter was the Queen Mother's fault first.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Li chuckled.

This made Shen Shuzhao completely unexpected.

"When I saw you, I thought of the Queen Mother behind you, she is such a poor person." Mrs. Li suddenly muttered to herself.

Shen Shuzhao felt that every move of this woman was not expected by herself, and this feeling made her feel like she was on pins and needles.

"With your own children become like this, no matter how much you enjoy the glory and wealth, the taste is not satisfactory." Mrs. Li stroked her lower abdomen, which was already slightly bulging, and her face showed kindness, "As a mother, I really sympathize with her. ”

Shen Shuzhao retracted the gaze that fell on her abdomen, she was a little sentimental when Wei Yang was mentioned, and Mrs. Li said at this time: "But if you have served those in power for many years, you will find that they don't really care about anyone except yourself. In the past, there was the majesty of the Empress Lu, and now there is the Queen Mother in politics, but if a woman's ambition and talent are not inferior to men, in fact, they will be more ruthless than men. My husband has served her for many years, but in the end this is the end, and the qiē she has now is nothing more than a deserved crime. ”

Listening to Mrs. Li's words, Shen Shuzhao guessed that she should be a very political person.

So he asked, "Madame has been helping Master Li in private in the mansion for a long time, right?" ”

"How do you know?"

"Madame is generous in her speech and subtle in her observation of state affairs, unlike a woman who lives in a deep mansion."

"The second lady is overrated, I only occasionally talk to my husband about some government affairs." Speaking of her husband, a touch of loneliness appeared in Mrs. Li's eyes, "But it was a long time ago......"

Pinching the tea porcelain, the back of her hand was delicate, and Mrs. Li's calm in the blink of an eye slowly condensed into resentment, "If it weren't for her...... My husband will probably still be alive with me, waiting for our child to be born. I persuaded him to give up his status in the capital and return to his hometown to live in peace, and he agreed for me and my children, but I didn't expect the Queen Mother to send assassins to follow us. My husband had anticipated this, so he arranged for me to take another carriage alone, otherwise, where would I stand here today and point out that she was the culprit behind the scenes? ”

"The situation in the DPRK?" Shen Shuzhao was keenly aware of the rhetorical question, she remembered that the emperor and the queen mother were still very peaceful at that time, and the beginning of the discord only began to show two years after she entered the palace in her previous life.

"Second Miss, how can you not understand that you are so smart? How could the emperor allow a woman to interfere in the affairs of the court like this, even if it was his favorite wife and the mother who raised him. I asked my husband to return to his hometown to live to avoid disputes, but the Queen Mother let him ...... became a cold, headless corpse and provoked a dispute. Mrs. Li gritted her teeth with hatred.

Shen Shuzhao, who was in charge, could only watch Mrs. Li's love gradually become excited.

"No matter what the cost, I will let my husband's soul rest in peace. Innocent people should not be burdened with trumped-up charges, but should be borne by the real culprits. The Son of Heaven broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people, and the second lady should also know this truth. ”

"Okay," Shen Shuzhao stood up, "Mrs. Li, the purpose of the little woman's coming here is not to make you fall back into pain, since the matter has come to this, the little woman has no choice but to retire first." Madame take care. ”

She knew that it wouldn't be of any use, but she wanted to get to the edge of the truth.

There are so many lies around that I can't tell what is true and what is false.

"I must have disappointed the Queen Mother when I went back. Miss Shen Er walked slowly, and I won't send it. Mrs. Li looked at her with half provocative eyes and half curious, "I heard that you are a lobbyist next to the Queen Mother, and I know that the more you talk about people like you who make a living by scheming and scheming, the more you will lose." ”

Shen Shuzhao smiled helplessly, "Although Madam was angry just now, every sentence was reasonable, and there was nothing wrong with it. ”

Mrs. Li raised her skin and smiled without smiling.

Then Shen Shuzhao politely retreated and left the place.

At the time of the deuteron, inside the lobby. She and Tingwei stood together, watching Mrs. Li in the side door leaning down and writing the confession with her right hand, the pen on the rice paper was soft, like her weak and delicate appearance. Shen Shuzhao looked at it for a long time, and suddenly frowned.

When the official took out the confession for the court lieutenant to see, Shen Shuzhao was contemplating on the side.

"Lord Tingwei, do you think that Mrs. Li is strange when she writes?"

"Huh? It's a little rusty, and it looks like she doesn't write very often. ”

Shen Shuzhao was concerned, she stopped a servant who was about to enter, "Wait, I'll deliver this pot of tea." ”

"Second Miss, what are you?"

"I'm sorry my lord, but the little girl needs to figure out one thing now."

She walked in with the tray in the hand of the original servant, came to Mrs. Li's side, and then thoughtfully made a cup of tea for her, Mrs. Li raised her head in astonishment, "Why are you still here?" ”

"Madame, the little girl can only leave after you leave."

"I see......" Mrs. Li understood the implicit meaning of obeying her words, and her eyebrows showed contempt.

"This is the tea made by the little woman."

Shen Shuzhao handed over the tea set to her right, Mrs. Li stretched out her hand to take it safely, Shen Shuzhao looked at the paper in front of her, "Madam, there is a place in your form that needs to be polished." ”

"Where?"

Shen Shuzhao tentatively pointed to a certain place, "'Closed door' here." This paragraph needs to be in harmony with each sentence, and the words are surprising, so that Yi Tingwei can make a decision, and Mrs. is too simple to write, so she should add a few more strokes. ”

After hearing this, Mrs. Li picked up the pen and wanted to write, but suddenly stopped.

She felt Shen Shuzhao's gaze locked on her.

Unnaturally, he put down his pen and nervously switched his right hand to write.

Shen Shuzhao watched her expression change subtly, and was silent.

The first thing after walking out of the screen door, Shen Shuzhao said unequivocally to Tingwei beside him: "The suicide note may be fake." ”

Tingwei's eyebrows moved, "This official has said before that it is possible to be fake, and the important thing is whether the emperor believes that it is fake." Unless...... Can anyone prove that this letter was written by someone else's own hand? ”

It seems that there is only one way.

Shen Shuzhao understood what he meant, and after returning to the palace, she felt annoyed, and her chest began to dull more and more.

The emperor was jealous of the Queen Mother so early.

What's wrong inside?

If so, how long did it take to prepare the letter? When a month ago, everyone in the world thought that the emperor was the most filial person, and the Shen family was becoming more and more prosperous?

When she thought about it, she couldn't help but feel creepy.

told the Queen Mother about the events that happened in the Yamen, and the Queen Mother was furious, "Presumptuous, that woman is full of nonsense!" Putting down the golden bottle and jade liquid cup fiercely, the sleeves of the flowing □□ Zhai were dazzling because of the shaking, and she secretly said angrily, "People make me, and I also make people." In the way of the other, give back to the other. The mourning family can't bear to really do it, how can the emperor ...... Do you really want to put the mourning family and the Shen family to death? ”

Her tone trembled, and when the woman who was no longer young slowly sat down on her seat, she looked very disappointed, and the people around her couldn't help but cry.

Their mother-son relationship for more than ten years disappeared in a few nights, which is really terrifying.

"How can Li Chong's death be blamed on the mourning family?" The Queen Mother sneered, "It was the mountain spirit who wanted his life, and the mourning family just made a big fuss about his death." ”

Shen Shuzhao remembered what Wei Yang said and fell silent.

"His death really has nothing to do with the mourning family, and fortune telling should not be counted on the mourning family. How could the emperor let her frame the mourning family for such a thing? The mourning family did not hesitate to eradicate political enemies for him and send him to the throne, has he forgotten all these things? ! The mourning family has worked hard to raise him for more than ten years, and now it is better to feed a dog! I didn't expect that the mourning family would win the back position and sit firmly in this position, and in the end it would be defeated by the adopted son...... The mourning family raised a wolf, a sinister and cunning wolf! ”

At this time, Shen Shuzhao was very surprised by her resolute attitude of denying Li Chong's death.

"If what the mourning family has done is reversed, it will be fine, and what has not been done, the Li family will not want to blame the mourning family. Gao Dezhong, you have strictly ordered people to observe the Li family's actions in the past few days. ”

"The slave obeys."

"Shuzhao, you should also step down." The Queen Mother now looks like she needs to be calm.

Shen Shuzhao got up, and his kneeling legs almost made her body fall. She is getting more and more incomprehensible, the Queen Mother is acting with her?

Or is it ...... Is what she said true?

Wei Yang and the Queen Mother,

Which one is telling the truth?

She was in complete confusion.
