Chapter 668: Secret Meeting with the Empress Dowager
The Empress Dowager looked at Liu Yue kneeling in the hall, and the expression on her face was not happy, nor was she disgusted. For this country woman, the Empress Dowager admitted that she once liked it, this girl is very motivated, very intelligent, and has more eyesight.
To be honest, if she didn't listen to her own words and didn't do what she wanted, maybe she would continue to give her the dignity of the county lord, but because she was bent on Dingbei Houfu, she was a thorn in Ming'er's heart. Therefore, the Empress Dowager disliked the Liu family more and more, and instinctively felt that the Liu family could not stay.
But the Empress Dowager didn't understand that during her lockdown, what did the Liu family need to see her?
And the Empress Dowager has lived so long, what kind of person can't see clearly? Liu didn't like himself either. So it is even more surprising that the Liu family can go to such great lengths to enter the palace today and pretend to be a palace maid.
Father-in-law Shun thought that he accidentally found that the palace maid who delivered the meal was a little strange today, so he immediately called the palace maid forward, thinking that it was the Xu family who came to harm the queen mother.
I was about to find out, and I gave the Xu family no face. Unexpectedly, it was actually the wife of the Hou Shizi of Dingbei, Liu Yue had lived in Zining Palace before, so there were many opportunities to meet this Shun father-in-law.
Naturally, Shun's father-in-law can recognize it at a glance, but Shun's father-in-law is strange. The Empress Dowager really can't talk about this lady of the prince very well.
Why did she appear in Cining Palace at this time?
Father-in-law Shun spent all the idle people in the palace, and there were only three people in the house. The Empress Dowager, Liu Yue, and the father-in-law of Shun. Liu Yue knelt on the ground and respectfully kowtowed to the Empress Dowager, "The Empress Dowager Chitose Chitose, Chitose Chitose!" ”
The Empress Dowager is getting older and older, but her spirit is good, wearing a standard Empress Dowager palace dress, coupled with a gorgeous phoenix crown, although she has white hair, but under the golden phoenix crown, she still looks particularly eye-catching.
It seems that the Empress Dowager is not at all unhappy because she is confined to Cining Palace. It seems that the Empress Dowager really doesn't know what's going on outside.
"Yo, isn't this Mrs. Hou Shizi of Dingbei? It's really rare, you can still come to see the old bones of the mourning family, but I don't know if you will come to see the jokes of the mourning family? Or is there something else going on? ”
The Empress Dowager didn't think that Liu Yue would be so bored that she wanted to come to see her, maybe if the rest of the thing didn't happen, Liu Yue would really have some affection for herself. But in the latter things, I didn't treat her well.
Liu Yue raised her head, with a worried and frightened expression, "The Empress Dowager begs you to call the shots, give the Beihou Mansion a clear way!" ”
The Empress Dowager was shocked, what could make the Liu family so scared and worried? And he had to bother to come with him, which was really curious, the Empress Dowager wrinkled her brows: "What the hell, how can the mourning family be in this situation now?" I'm afraid that Mrs. Hou Shizi of Dingbei is asking for the wrong place!
The request is also to beg the emperor, to beg Xu Ge to be old, the old bones of the mourning family still have to look at people's faces? It's really powerless! ”
Liu Yue knew that the Empress Dowager would be in this tone, even if she was not grounded, she would definitely not care about the affairs of the Beihou Mansion.
But today I can't help him, this is not an accident in the Dingbei Hou Mansion, but the grandson of the Empress Dowager, Nangong Ming is going to have an accident. Is it strange that the Empress Dowager will not care?
"The Empress Dowager, this matter is what the emperor and Xu Ge Lao meant, Xu Ge Lao instigated the emperor to make an edict and ordered the prince to assassinate the prince of Nangong. What do you say about Dingbei Hou Mansion? ”
Sure enough, the Empress Dowager was originally leaning on the phoenix, but she suddenly sat up straight, with an angry face, and asked loudly: "What did you say, the emperor ordered Mo Shizi to stab the prince of Nangong to death?" Is this true? ”
The Empress Dowager's excitement made Liu Yue very satisfied, didn't she always care? Now let this old woman have a headache, so that she can really think that she has nothing to do.
Liu Yue nodded respectfully, her eyes worried: "Naturally, it is true, the emperor has already sent someone to send it to Northern Xinjiang."
I'm afraid that it will come soon, yesterday Xu Ge Lao specially invited the old marquis to drink tea together, but who knew that it was Xu Ge Lao who wanted to coerce us into Dingbei Hou Mansion, forcing the old marquis to send a letter to northern Xinjiang, so that the prince of the world must put the prince of Nangong to death.
Otherwise, Xu Ge Lao would threaten the lives of the Beihou Mansion's family. The Mo family has been loyal to the country for generations, and the princess naturally does not obey. For this reason, he quarreled with Xu Ge Lao, I am afraid that Xu Ge Lao will already hate Dingbei Hou Mansion. The lives of the courtiers' family may all be decided by Xu Gelao.
The old marquis knew that this matter was very important, so he discussed this matter with his mother-in-law overnight, and the courtier, as a daughter-in-law, how could she let her mother-in-law take risks? The courtiers promised the prince that they would protect the two children.
Filial piety to mother-in-law. But now the courtiers are really incompetent and can't fulfill their promises to the prince. The courtiers wanted to come and go, but they could only come to ask the Empress Dowager to call the shots.
Ask the Empress Dowager to point out a clear path for the Dingbei Hou Mansion, what should the Dingbei Hou Mansion do, and how can it be preserved? Now that the capital is all under the control of Xu Ge Lao and the emperor, the Dingbei Marquis Mansion is afraid that it will be difficult to escape. ”
Speaking of which, Liu Yue's tears never stopped, one was crying to the Queen Mother. Let the Empress Dowager understand that she is just an ordinary woman, and she will be afraid and worried. The second is that Liu Yue is really sad and worried about the fate of the Dingbei Hou Mansion.
When the Empress Dowager heard this, her face turned pale, so many times, the Empress Dowager was used to being a superior, and this was the first time that the Empress Dowager was afraid. Ming'er, his own grandson, no, Ming'er must not have an accident.
Your Majesty, the Xu family, it's really good. Someone dared to touch his own grandson, and wanted to use Mo to leave to assassinate Ming'er.
The more the Empress Dowager thought about it, the more angry she became, and the more angry she was with the emperor and the Xu family. If this is still the former empress dowager, she will definitely change the palace directly, control the emperor and the Xu family, and directly let Ming'er sit on the throne.
But now that the Empress Dowager is old, she can't respond as much as she once did, and more importantly, the Empress Dowager does not have the Empress Dowager's Imperial Forest Army in her hands.
The hall was silent for a moment, except for the sound of the three people breathing.
Liu Yue knew that the Empress Dowager would be angry, but what was the use of the Empress Dowager being angry, if the Empress Dowager had more power in her hands, she might be able to take action, but now the Empress Dowager was just a trapped beast of the emperor, and she could only send the news out.
Liu Yue stopped her tears and raised her eyes to look at the Empress Dowager, "Empress Dowager, courtiers can't stay in the palace for a long time, so they must leave immediately." ”
Father-in-law Shun was also quite scared in his heart, he didn't expect such an important news, and he didn't hear half of it. It's bad now, the Queen Mother won't blame herself! A cold sweat broke out on Father-in-law Shun's forehead.
The Empress Dowager will not dare to ignore Liu Yue anymore, this will be a request for others, "Yue'er, the mourning family knows that the Dingbei Hou Mansion has been loyal and good for generations, and will not do anything to harm the royal family."
The mourning family might as well make it clear to you, and now the emperor mourning family has never admitted it or accepted it. The loyal mourning family of the Dingbei Hou Mansion has been recorded, and you go back to explain the meaning of the mourning family to the old marquis.
The mourning family must not allow anything to happen to King Nangong, this is the bottom line of the mourning family. It is inevitable that the palace of Funan Palace of the mourning family will call the emperor, but there is still a lack of time.
The mourning family knew that the Dingbei Hou Mansion only supported the emperor in the past dynasties and would not support any force, so the mourning family did not ask the Dingbei Hou Mansion to be, but only asked not to hurt the prince of Nangong. ”
Liu Yue saw that the Empress Dowager finally recognized the situation, and told her the truth, and also handed over the Empress Dowager's old background, so she was naturally willing to show 100% sincerity: "The Empress Dowager can rest assured, neither the old marquis nor the prince wants such a thing to happen."
But the Empress Dowager also has to think about the situation of the Dingbei Hou Mansion, and how to accept the emperor's and Xu Ge Lao's moves. If the emperor really threatened the lives of the old and young in the Beihou Mansion, what should he do?
Although it is difficult to achieve both loyalty and filial piety since ancient times, the first thing is the emperor's will, and the second prince only needs to do what the emperor asks to save Mrs. Hou's life.
The courtiers were really afraid that the prince would make the emperor anxious and do something inappropriate. The Empress Dowager also knows the temperament of the prince, but she is not as loyal and honest as the old marquis. "Liu Yue just wants to transfer the pressure of the Dingbei Hou Mansion to the Empress Dowager, otherwise the Dingbei Hou Mansion will not be a loss.
The Empress Dowager looked at her father-in-law, and then at Liu Yue, who was still kneeling on the ground, and her heart was actually very chaotic, how to ensure the safety of the Beihou Society's family?
Do you want to make a move? If he didn't make a move, he really forced Mo Li, that kid, wouldn't he just stab Ming'er to death regardless of his loyalty? The Empress Dowager was also in a dilemma for a while, and finally she could only sigh, and her cloudy old eyes suddenly became a little more ruthless.
"Liu, you go with the mourning family to see the Emperor Taishang, and see if our good Emperor Taishang is willing to defend the Dingbei Hou Mansion."
Father-in-law Shun was embarrassed. This will take Mrs. Shizi to see the emperor, if the emperor finds out, how can he make it. "The Empress Dowager, this will be the emperor's attention, should we slow down a little longer."
The Empress Dowager waved her hand, "No, the mourning family will see the Emperor Taishang soon." Shun Gonggong, you go and arrange it, let's go through the back door and enter the Taishang Palace, and Mrs. Shizi will pretend to be the palace maid of the mourning family. ”
Father-in-law Shun nodded, just went down to give a little instructions, and then came in and led the Empress Dowager to the Taishang Palace. Originally, the palace of the Empress Dowager was adjacent to the palace of the Empress Dowager, and the back door was open in one direction, so it was very convenient to enter.
plus let Shun's father-in-law take care of it, so it was very peaceful along the way. And when I saw those palace people who saw the Empress Dowager, they all avoided each other.
Liu Yue knew that Father-in-law Shun was able to do things in the palace before, but she didn't expect that Father-in-law Shun was so capable, and it was just a moment of effort to arrange things so properly. As long as the palace people are counted cleanly, the emperor will definitely not know that the empress dowager is in the palace, let alone know that there is a person like himself.
Although Liu Yue followed the Empress Dowager to see the Empress Dowager, she didn't know why the Empress Dowager let her go to see the Empress Taishang, could it be that the Empress Dowager, who was sick now, could help the Dingbei Marquis Mansion. R1152
