Chapter 299: Rumors are spreading
"This jade pendant is Yao'er's belongings, he never leaves his body, if the enemy can easily obtain this jade pendant, in order to cheat, then Yao'er's life, I am afraid it has already been held in their hands. ”
The Queen Mother stretched out her palm and showed the jade pendant that had just been warmed, the jade pendant could be covered with heat, but her heart was extremely cold.
Jade's heart tightened, she remembered this jade pendant, Wei Jingyao was kidnapped when he was a child.
After he came back, the queen mother, who was still a concubine, went to Tiancheng Temple to ask for it in person, this jade pendant that was opened by the Buddha.
Since that day, the jade pendant has been hanging on Wei Jingyao's body and has never been taken off.
Could it be that the emperor really ......
"Empress Dowager Qi, Shang Shuling asks to see. At this moment, the voice of a palace maid suddenly sounded outside the hall.
"Didn't the mourning family say that no one was allowed to approach, you are really bold. The Queen Mother squinted at the figure by the wall, and her voice was like a bell, hitting people's hearts.
"The slave and maid deserve to die, but Shang Shuling looked in a hurry, and seemed to be in a hurry to see, so he asked the slave and maid to come and pass it on. The palace maid outside the door knelt on the ground and said humbly.
"If the queen mother doesn't let the slave go, she will say that you are in poor health and have rested. Jade looked at the Queen Mother's pale face and whispered.
"Let him wait in the Spring and Harmony Palace. The Queen Mother ignored Jade's words, she straightened her voice, and her tone was slightly raised, just like she usually commanded.
"Confused, what do you think Shang Shuling is saying about Renshou Palace at this time, if the mourning family is sick at this time, wouldn't it be clear to tell him that Yao'er is dead. ”
After the palace maid left, the queen mother lowered her voice and reprimanded.
"But the Queen Mother, if you go to see Shang Shuling at this time, I'm afraid that he will also see the clues. Jade worried.
"You go and invite him in person, and you say that the mourning family has just gotten up from a nap, and let him wait a little longer. ”
The Queen Mother sat down in front of the dresser with high spirits, covering her haggard face with rouge gouache.
"Yes, slave and maid will go. ”
"Also, the palace maid just now doesn't have to stay. ”
By the time the Queen Mother appeared in the Chunhe Hall again, she was already dressed up decently, and her gestures were full of grace and luxury.
"Weichen see the Queen Mother. Shang Shuling put down the tea cup in his hand and quickly knelt down to greet him.
"Why did Shang Shuling have time to come to the mourning family, sit down?" The Queen Mother sat on the main seat, with a majestic smile on the corner of her mouth.
"Queen Mother, since the old minister is here, he won't go around in circles, the rumors outside the palace, I think the Queen Mother has heard about it a long time ago. Shang Shuling got straight to the point
"Oh, what a rumor, Shang Shuling is talking about it. The Queen Mother chuckled in her heart, but on the surface she still maintained the smile just now,
"This ...... How can this old minister say it? Queen Mother, didn't you ask knowingly?"
Shang Shuling was speechless for a while, and if he wanted to say this from his mouth, it would become a big rebellion.
"Since you know that you can't say it, you still come here to question the mourning family, Shang Shuling, how many heads do you have on your head?" The Queen Mother was furious and slapped the little ones on the side heavily.
"Queen Mother, if you want to pick off the head of the old minister, you can pick it up at any time, but now people everywhere in the capital are panicking, if the emperor doesn't show up again, I'm afraid something will go wrong. ”
Shang Shuling hurriedly got up and arched his hand at the Queen Mother.
"Shang Shuling is afraid that his brain is not good, the emperor is sick and can't see the wind, what is your intention in letting the emperor show up at this time. The Queen Mother glanced coldly.
"If the emperor doesn't show up, how can he calm down the rumors in the capital?
Shang Shuling comforted, and he looked bitter.
"Since you know that it is a gossip, you should go to its source and find a way to calm them, what's the use of running to Renshou Palace?"
According to my eyeliner, the officials who have been in and out of the Xuanwang Mansion have been in and out of the palace very frequently recently, and the Xuanwang party is afraid that they will not be able to hold it back for a long time. ”
Shang Shuling waved his hand, with a helpless face, seeing that the Queen Mother continued to play sloppy with herself, Shang Shuling gritted her teeth and asked.
"The queen mother!" The old minister only asked, is the emperor in the capital now?"
"Shang Shuling, are you forcing the mourning family, King Xuan took advantage of the emperor's illness to spread a message and deceive people, could you have also been instigated by him. ”
The Queen Mother's sharp eyes narrowed, and her eyes were already full of anger.
"The old minister is guilty, but the old minister is abrupt. Shang Shuling knew that he couldn't ask anything, so he had to give up.
Looking at Shang Shuling's back, the Queen Mother leaned on the chair weakly as if her soul had been drained.
With the first, there will be a second, and when the time comes, more and more people will question the emperor's condition.
But at the moment, it is not clear how many people in the DPRK are Wei Zheng's henchmen, and he must grit his teeth and keep this secret.
"Go and order Liang Rui, secretly send a few people to Qingning Palace, secretly protect the safety of the queen, and strengthen the vigilance of Yong'an Palace, and never allow anyone to trespass without permission. ”
"Yes. Jade stepped forward and gently relaxed her muscles for the Queen Mother.
"By the way, what's the name of that imperial doctor? The queen is unwell, so let him stay in Qingning Palace and serve the queen." ”
"The Queen Mother is talking about Cui Chen, Imperial Doctor Cui?" Jade guessed.
"That's right, it's him. ”
Yong'an Palace and Renshou Palace couldn't find out the news, they would definitely start with Cui Chen, and they did it themselves just to protect his safety.
"The queen hasn't written a letter to the British public for a long time, you go and remind her that as the mother of a country, you must set an example for the world. ”
The Queen Mother rubbed her temples and thought about the matter again in her mind to make sure there was anything missing.
Xuanwangfu.
Wei Zheng stood by the red sandalwood shelf, leisurely playing with the large plate of the official kiln in his hand, and there was also a Ru kiln vase and a bronze Wuding next to it.
"You're sure you've got it, don't fall short at a critical moment like last time. ”
"Of course, the arrow that counted his fate was not considered death, but he will not live, and my subordinates will only report it after making sure that he has lost his breath, and the news is absolutely not wrong. ”
As soon as he remembered the last time, Tian Leopard was so angry that he almost killed Wei Jingyao, but he fell short, and he also lost several masters because of it.
"If it hadn't been for the sandstorm last time, he wouldn't have had such good luck and lived so long. ”
"That's good, you've made the first contribution this time. Wei Zheng hooked the corners of his mouth, his eyes were full of coldness.
"The old witch should have received the news, but I didn't expect her to be so calm and continue to perform this play. ”
