Two days have passed, and after Xinyun left, no one has come, and the mother-in-law has been in a particularly bad mood in the past few days, and she dragged people out to be tortured every day.

Tang Jingchen can see that she is not interrogating, and she doesn't ask about some people at all, she just tortures them, and the woman in a cell next door said that many people in the Criminal Justice Division are forgotten, and no one cares if they die here.

"No, I won't, I'm not forgotten." Tang Jingchen shook his head and muttered, Xinyun had been here, and the emperor had not forgotten himself.

The Temple of Nourishing the Heart.

The emperor has been extremely upset in the past few days, first of all, after the beginning of spring, several cities including the capital have suffered snowstorms, which is an unprecedented thing, which has restrained most of his energy, but the officials sent to the disaster relief are corrupt, and a lot of sediment has been mixed into the food of the victims.

Not to mention that the victims could not eat enough, the old, weak, sick and disabled people died of diseases after eating this kind of relief food, which caused dissatisfaction among the people and almost broke out in a riot.

The emperor was furious, and he got angry in the early dynasty, killed a few officials involved, and naturally needed to be replaced when there was no one to take care of things, and at least half of the candidates taken out by the ministers were related to the queen mother's family.

This inevitably aroused the vigilance of the emperor.

"Little Guizi, do you think that the Queen Mother is very worried about this time, since I became a pro-government, it is the first time that she has interfered in the appointment and dismissal of officials." After the court, the emperor couldn't help but ask his close confidant eunuch.

Even if he is an emperor, he seems to be rich and in charge of the world, but in fact, there are few people who can make friends, and only eunuchs can chat with confidence.

Xiao Guizi was stunned, and then lowered his head, he didn't dare to talk about the Queen Mother casually, and after thinking about it, he said cautiously: "Just like the old man said by the Taifu, the Queen Mother probably feels that she is old, and I am afraid that you will not take care of her mother's family in the future." ”

The emperor's thin lips pursed slightly, "She is my mother, her maiden family is my uncle's family, how can I not take care of it, the queen mother will not be confused so far, maybe ......"

Perhaps, the emperor did not continue, but looked at the blue sky above the Forbidden City, gloomy and gloomy, without a trace of sunshine, which made people's hearts full of depression.

"Over there—"

As soon as he was halfway through his words, the eunuch beside Shu Ying came, "Your Majesty, Concubine Xian has pain in her abdomen, please come over." ”

The emperor was inevitably a little upset, "I've been there nine times in five days, and when I come back, it's either this reason or that reason, if my stomach hurts, I'll be the imperial doctor, and I won't see a doctor, what's the use!" ”

The eunuch didn't dare to say anything, but he knelt there and didn't get up or leave, the emperor was helpless, and he was still very affectionate to Shu Ying in his heart, so he came to Chuxiu Palace after thinking about it, "Why is it comfortable again, where is it this time?" ”

There is inevitably a three-point sarcasm in the tone.

Shu Ying heard it, but she couldn't say it, the queen mother ordered her to try to contain the emperor, so that he didn't have the time to think of Tang Jingchen, the emperor was busy with political affairs most of the time, and his leisure was occupied by Shu Ying and other concubines who wanted to compete for favor, so he didn't have the heart to think about anything else.

But the emperor didn't think about it so much, he thought it was just Shu Ying taking the opportunity to get more favor, after all, harem women are like this.

"Your Majesty—" Shu Ying burst into tears, wanting to say something but stopped.

The emperor couldn't help but think of Niu Huijuan, that day, the queen mother, who was still Concubine Yu at the time, sent someone to take her back to the palace, and she was sent all the way to the entrance of the village.

It's just that he didn't have the ability then, and by the time he did, she was already dead.

Closing his eyes slightly, the emperor took Shu Ying's hand and said softly: "I'm by your side, don't cry, okay?" ”

"Hmm." Shu Ying rubbed her face against the emperor's palm, "The emperor should accompany Juan'er more, otherwise Juan'er will be afraid." ”

Although Shu Ying was discovered by the first empress, she was recommended to the emperor by Duolun, and since she went to bed, the queen mother specially found her grandmother to teach her words and deeds, so that her speech and behavior became more and more like Niu Huijuan.

These women in the harem, if they talk about their appearance, they are undoubtedly Tang Jingchen who are most similar to Niu Huijuan, but if they talk about their temperament and demeanor and the state of the whole person, the current Shu Ying is alive and well Niu Huijuan is reincarnated.

It can be seen that the Queen Mother has put a lot of thought into it.

On this day, the emperor has been by Shu Ying's side, and he didn't think of Tang Jingchen anymore, of course, Shu Ying didn't live up to the queen mother's training, kept chatting with the emperor, and talked about Niujia Village on the outskirts of Beijing, childhood and juvenile memories occupied all his mind.

"Empress Dowager Qi, there is news from Chuxiu Palace that the emperor has rested." In Cining Palace, a eunuch reported to the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother smiled with satisfaction and said to Duolun: "What does the mourning family say, people with weakness are the best to deal with, Tang Jingchen relies on something to be favored, just find someone more powerful than her to defeat her." ”

Duolun couldn't help but roll his eyes and muttered unwillingly, "What's the use of that, anyway, the emperor's mind will never be on me." ”

"You kid," the queen mother hated that iron could not become steel, "to survive in the palace, the most important thing is the position of power, what's the use of pampering, the emperor's mind was on Tang Jingchen before, but now, what is the fate of Tang Jingchen?" ”

I don't know why, since entering the palace, what Duolun hates the most is Tang Jingchen, so she immediately cheered up, "Huang Eniang, that slut surnamed Tang has been locked up in the Shen Criminal Division for several days, when do you plan to try her?" ”

The Queen Mother rolled her eyelids, "What is the trial, what is there to judge, what can she do, what can she do, what can she do if she doesn't?" ”

Duolun doesn't understand, "......"

The Queen Mother smiled gloomily, "In that place of the Punishment Division, good people have to shed their skin when they enter, let alone her." ”

Looking at the Queen Mother's expression, Duolun couldn't help but shudder, secretly glad that he was her maiden niece and not her enemy.

The Queen Mother thought for a while, "Well, if you want to see with your own eyes how miserable she is now, go ahead, you can do it if you want." ”

Duolun was suddenly frightened, and said to Ai Ai: "Huang Eniang, I still don't go, I heard that it is strange and scary there, and in case the emperor blames, I ......"

The Queen Mother was speechless, "When the mourning family dies in the future, the glory of our family will continue with you, but with your courage and means, how can you let the mourning family rest assured." ”

Duolun Fuzhi was heartfelt, stuck out his tongue and said with a smile: "Then the emperor's mother will take care of her body and live for a thousand years for eight hundred years." ”

The Queen Mother was happy to hear this, and she couldn't help but stretch out her finger and point at Duolun's forehead, looking intimate, "You, no big or small, fortunately you married into the palace, if you change your mother-in-law, who can tolerate you like this." ”

After laughing with Duolun for a while, a trace of calculation crossed the corner of the Queen Mother's eyes, "Brother Jiu, this stumbling block, it's time to get rid of him." ”
