Mother Jia confided in front of the Emperor Taishang Ling's words that she had been holding in her heart for all these years, and finally let out this breath.

Mother Jia didn't care about others, walked to the spirit of the Emperor Taishang and continued to say to him: "You forced my husband to death back then, and now you are forced to death by my grandson. This is really the reincarnation of heaven, and it can be regarded as your retribution. ”

And the surrounding civil and military ministers and the emperor stood there and didn't dare to say a word, for fear of angering Jia Ke and purging the palace.

After Jia Mu finished speaking, she turned around and came to Jia Ke's face, "Since we have already worshipped, let's go back." ”

Jia Ke nodded, now that the matter is very clear, there is no need to pretend anymore. But before leaving, he said to Dai Quan, who was standing at the door of the main hall: "From now on, you will still be your chief administrator, and all affairs must be approved by you." ”

When Dai Quan heard Jia Ke's words, he immediately fell to the ground: "Don't worry, the master can rest assured, the slave and maid will definitely manage the palace on behalf of the master, and there will never be a little mistake." ”

Jia Ke looked at Dai Quan who was kneeling on the ground and nodded, this person was loyal to him, "If there is anything that can't be solved, discuss it with Xiao Kun, who is in charge of the forbidden army." ”

Dai Quan knelt there and said flatteringly: "Master, don't worry, I still have some hands in this palace who can't make a big deal out of it." ”

Jia Mu, who was standing on the side, nodded, and then said, "Why didn't I see the Queen Mother just now?" How could such an important day be without her? ”

Dai Quan naturally knew that Mother Jia was asking him, so he quickly replied: "Slave Dai Quan asked the old lady to say goodbye, and the old lady asked the queen mother?" ”

Jia Mu said unhappily: "Naturally, I asked her? ”

"Back to the old lady, the queen mother has been imprisoned by the emperor in Ningshou Palace."

After Dai Quan said this, not only Jia Ke was shocked, but even the civil and military ministers who came to pay their respects looked at the emperor with unbelievable eyes.

In this era of ruling the world with filial piety, how big a crime is it to imprison one's own mother-in-law? Even the emperor will have an indelible black spot on his back.

And the emperor was very angry at this time, he came to Dai Quan in three steps and two steps, and kicked him in the head.

"You dog minion, at this time you are not honest, obviously the queen mother is because of excessive grief and cultivation in Ningshou Palace, you dare to slander and me, come and pull this dog slave out, and immediately kill with a cane." The emperor directly ordered Xia Shouzhong next to him to pull out and kill Dai Quan.

As a result, as soon as he gave the order, Jia Mu was not happy, and she said to the emperor: "Is the emperor trying to kill people?" My grandson has just made him the head of the inner house, and you are going to kill him with a rod. Isn't it too much? ”

The emperor was full of anger when he heard this, staring at Jia Mu, eager to eat her, he knew now, Jia Mu came to the palace this time to take revenge and show off his might.

Jia Ke sent a speech to Jia's mother, and the emperor was still a little dishonest, so he wanted to give him some more color, so he ordered: "Xia Shouzhong is not good for serving his master, and he will be killed immediately." ”

As soon as Jia Ke finished saying this, five or six warriors poured in outside the hall, regardless of the emperor present, and directly came to Xia Shouzhong and pulled him out.

Xia Shouzhong didn't know when he saw this situation, Jia Ke was risking his life to warn the emperor, but in front of his own life and loyal ministers, he still chose his life.

So Xia Shouzhong kept shouting to Jia Ke during the time he was dragged out of the hall: "Lord Jia is wronged, this matter has nothing to do with the slave maid, it is completely the emperor to take revenge on the queen mother, and the emperor is ready to let the queen mother accompany the emperor to the funeral in a few days." ”

Jia Ke's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Drag this minion back." ”

As soon as those warriors heard Jia Ke's words, they immediately stopped and dragged Xia Shouzhong in front of Jia Ke.

As soon as Xia Shouzhong came to Jia Ke, he immediately fell at his feet, "Lord Jia spares his life, Lord Jia spares his life." ”

Jia Ke looked at Xia Shouzhong, who was lying at his feet, and then turned around and stared at the emperor, "Xia Shouzhong, you are telling the truth. ”

"How dare the slave maid deceive Lord Jia, this matter was ordered by the emperor, and the slave maid personally did it."

After hearing this, Jia Ke laughed. Then he turned around and looked at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, this is your fault." The body of the emperor is not cold, and you have to deal with the queen mother, which is not a matter of dynasty or generation. ”

And the emperor is standing there with a pale face, he knows that from now on his reputation is over, and the emperor never thought that Xia Shouzhong, who has always been loyal to him and raised him since childhood, would betray himself.

After listening to their words, Jia Mu said to Xia Shouzhong, who was kneeling on the ground: "Since you, a slave, have abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, then I, the old lady, will give you a way to live, you can go to Ningshou Palace to invite the Queen Mother now, and you will serve by the Queen Mother's side from now on." ”

As soon as Xia Shouzhong heard it, Jia Mu's words immediately burst into laughter, his fate was saved, and as for the emperor's revenge, it was even more of a joke. Now who doesn't know that the emperor is a puppet, and it can be regarded as a blessing in disguise that he can get away from the emperor's side and serve by the queen mother's side.

So Xia Shouzhong got up from the ground, crawled out of the Qianqing Palace, and headed towards Ningshou Palace.

Xia Shouzhong left the Qianqing Palace, and immediately beckoned a few of his cronies to go to Ningshou Palace with him.

When Quan came to the outside of Ningshou Palace, the gate was locked, and there were more than a dozen eunuchs guarding the door outside the door.

When these people saw Xia Shouzhong coming, they thought that the emperor had some orders, so they hurried over to listen to it.

When Xia Shouzhong saw these people coming, he asked, "How is the Queen Mother?" ”

"Back to the manager, there is no movement in Ningshou Palace, and the Queen Mother is not noisy."

Xia Shouzhong felt very strange when he heard this, the empress dowager already knew the emperor's thoughts well, and now her life was about to be guaranteed, she didn't panic.

Xia Shouzhong looked at him for a while, and the eunuch next to him naturally understood, and immediately stepped forward to open the side door of Ningshou Palace.

Xia Shouzhong led people into Ningshou Palace, and as soon as he came to the door of the main hall, more than a dozen palace maids and eunuchs came out to kneel there to greet him.

The big hand didn't pay attention to these people, and came directly to the dormitory of the Queen Mother of Ningshou Palace.

When Xia Shouzhong entered the dormitory, he saw the Queen Mother sitting there leisurely reading a book, dressed neatly, without a trace of panic.

Although Xia Shouzhong was strange, he still stepped forward to salute the Queen Mother first.

When the Empress Dowager saw Xia Shouzhong coming, she pursed her lips and smiled: "Is Mr. Xia going to send the mourning family to reunite with the Emperor?" ”

Xia Shouzhong knelt there and said, "Even if the slave has great courage, he doesn't dare to think like this. ”

The Empress Dowager put down the book, looked at Xia Shouzhong and said, "You are a great nobleman, you have nothing to do in the Three Treasures Palace, what do you have to say." ”

"Back to the Empress Dowager, Lord Jia has already returned, knowing that you are imprisoned here by the emperor, so he is very angry, and now he orders the slave to invite the Empress Dowager to the Qianqing Palace."

When the Queen Mother heard this, her mind turned, if she wanted to say why the Queen Mother was not in a hurry, in fact, she knew a secret passage from Ningshou Palace to the outside of the palace.

With this secret passage, when necessary, he can kill the palace maids and eunuchs who are monitoring him with one person and one shot, and then escape from the palace.

Now it seems that this secret passage is not used for the time being, so he tidied up his clothes and went to Qianqing Palace with Xia Shouzhong.

And Xia Shouzhong looked at the queen mother's unhurried and neatly dressed appearance, and had a headache, so he hurriedly came over and said to the queen mother: "The slave looks at the queen mother's dress, which is a little inappropriate. ”

The Empress Dowager was a little surprised after hearing this, but she didn't expect Xia Shouzhong, the emperor's cronie, to care about herself.

"What's wrong?"

Xia Shouzhong heard the queen mother's question, first hesitated, and finally gritted his teeth, anyway, he had already betrayed the emperor, it was better to go all the way to the dark.

So Xia Shouzhong opened his mouth and said: "Niangniang has been imprisoned by the emperor for so long, she must not think about tea and food, and her clothes are not neat, so that she can show her grievances when she goes to the Qianqing Palace." ”

The Queen Mother is a little confused now, what does this Xia Shouzhong mean? This is obviously an eye medicine for the emperor.

Xia Shouzhong looked at the expression of the Queen Mother, knowing what she was thinking in her heart, and knew that if she didn't explain things clearly, the Queen Mother would not be able to trust him.

"Just now above the main hall, Master Jia has already given the slave the opportunity to make up for his mistakes, how dare the slave not do his best."

Who is the Queen Mother? As soon as he heard this, a smile appeared on his face.

"You're right, the mourning family is overly worried now, and they miss the emperor day and night, and they are indeed a little negligent in dressing up."

After the queen mother said this, she went into the depths of the palace alone, and when she came out again after a while, she had already removed the fat powder from her face, her hair became scattered, and the clothes on her body became messy.

The Empress Dowager came to Xia Shouzhong and asked, "Do you think this is feasible?" ”

Xia Shouzhong looked the Queen Mother up and down, and then quickly lowered his head and said, "The Queen Mother is thoughtful. ”

The Empress Dowager nodded when she heard his affirmation, "Then let's set up the Qianqing Palace." ”

Xia Shouzhong listened to the Empress Dowager's instructions, and immediately stood up and took a step forward to help the Empress Dowager out of the dormitory of Ningshou Palace.

When he got outside, Xia Shouzhong immediately ordered someone to prepare a small sedan chair, and the queen mother sat in the sedan chair, Xia Shouzhong followed the group out of Ningshou Palace, and the people who guarded the queen mother at the gate of Ningshou Palace watched Xia Shouzhong bring the queen mother out of Ningshou Palace, but he knew that Xia Shouzhong was the emperor's cronies, so he didn't dare to stop it.

In this way, Xia Shouzhong took the queen mother and went directly to the Qianqing Palace.

Besides, after Xia Shouzhong left the Qianqing Palace, the virtuous concubine Jia Yuanchun also took advantage of this kung fu to come to Jia's mother, gave her a gift, and then said with tears in her eyes: "It's okay to not see the ancestor's body for so long?" ”

At this time, Dai Quan saw that Jia's mother was still standing, so he quickly moved a chair from the side and put it next to Jia's mother.

After Jia's mother sat down, she said to Jia Yuanchun: "I'm an old lady, I can eat and sleep now, what's so bad?" When you are alone in the palace, you have to take good care of your body, and the good days of our family are still ahead. ”

Jia Yingchun stood next to Jia's mother, lowered his head and said: "I'm in the palace, life is okay, a few days ago, the eldest brother sent Dai Quan to serve by my side, and now it's more convenient than before." ”

Jia Mu nodded, and said to Dai Quan next to her: "Follow your master well, as long as there is an old lady like me in the future, you will not be left without an end." ”

As soon as Dai Quan heard Jia's mother's words, he immediately knelt on the ground excitedly, and kept kowtowing to Jia's mother, Dai Quan naturally knew Jia's mother's status in Jiafu, and now there is no difference between his words and Jia Ke's words.
