It turned out that Ruan Qingzhi was wrong.

The Queen Mother didn't care about teaching her a lesson, and came directly to the night cold. The majesty of the world for many years is there, although she is plain and silver, she is still full of momentum: "Your father's five or seven major sacrifices, you have not arrived, what is the reason!" ”

Ye Han stood still, looked at her, and bowed slightly: "The queen mother is in good health." ”

"You don't have to fake with the mourners!" The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows, and the corners of her eyes trembled: "The mourning family's body is very good, you can't expect the mourning family to die!" - You kneel for me! ”

The civil and military officials in front of the Taihe Palace were kneeling, and everyone was shocked when they saw this posture.

Ye Han did not kneel. He took a step forward and said coldly: "The queen mother misses her father, and she should also take care of her body, and it is not a way to be crazy like this." The Empress Dowager is old, and the ladies and ladies in and out of the palace still want to take you as an example. ”

The kneeling ministers exchanged glances with each other and understood.

No wonder I think that the elegant and dignified queen mother suddenly changed her temperament when she became the queen mother, it turned out that she was sad and crazy. What a sad story!

The Queen Mother noticed the change in the atmosphere and became more and more annoyed: "Ling Han, you have done something wrong yourself, and you have nothing to say, will you only slander the mourning family?" In front of your father's spirit, do you dare to say that you have a clear conscience?! ”

"Of course I have a clear conscience," Ye Han knelt down facing the spiritual seat, his expression was calm, and his voice was loud: "Queen Mother, the hour is coming, mourn." ”

"You!" The Queen Mother came over to kneel, and suddenly looked back at Ruan Qingzhi: "What are you doing standing here?" You are now, the girl is not a girl, the daughter-in-law is not a daughter-in-law, the first emperor will not want to see you! Get out of here, don't dirty the floor of the mourning hall! ”

Ruan Qingzhi sighed in his heart, "It's finally here", but his face was flat, not shocked or angry: "The queen mother, the courtiers are juniors, and the first emperor will not care whether the courtiers are girls or daughters-in-law." At this moment, what the first emperor minds most is that the blood dripping from your hands has dirty his way to reincarnation. ”

The Queen Mother subconsciously raised her hand to take a look, and after realizing that she was out of shape, she hurriedly shook her sleeves fiercely, and roared angrily: "You-"

"Queen Mother," Ruan Qingzhi looked at her and lowered her voice: "How did the first emperor's Shen Guifei die?" How did Concubine Xu Shufei die? Why did seven of the nine princes of the first emperor lose their biological mothers before the age of two? Could it be that we in Nanqi also have a rule of leaving children to go to their mothers? ”

"What the hell are you going to say?" The Queen Mother's face was gloomy.

Ruan Qingzhi tiptoed and found that he had grown taller than the Queen Mother, and couldn't help but show a smile: "Queen Mother, if you don't know, unless you don't do it." ”

The Queen Mother flicked her sleeves fiercely and sneered: "You don't have to play these tricks in front of the mourning family. When the mourning family was your age, you weren't born yet! ”

Ruan Qingzhi nodded seriously, and said, "In the past, the first emperor also thought so. You adults always like to be self-righteous and have done so many bad things that hurt nature and reason, and everyone in the world knows about it, only you cover your ears and blindfold yourself, pretending that you are hiding it well. ”

The Queen Mother gritted her teeth, her face turned blue.

Ruan Qingzhi took two steps forward, and his voice was lower: "You weren't such a character before. After so many years of caution, what's going on now? Could it be that because she became the queen mother and became an elder in the palace, she felt that the dust had finally settled and she no longer had to pretend to be virtuous and virtuous? ”

The Queen Mother looked cold, and secretly said in her heart that she couldn't quarrel with the crazy girl and drop the price.

Ruan Qingzhi had no choice but to take it on his own: "It's not wrong for you to think so, it's just that you forgot one thing - the Queen Mother will not be deposed, but it will be easy to die." ”

"You still dare to ......" The Queen Mother's eyes widened.

Ruan Qingzhi smiled, and his tone was very relaxed and happy: "Elders, old people, it's common for bad legs and feet to have bad hearts, so the more you like to jump up and down, the faster you die." is like the first emperor, who can live long live, but he deliberately stirred up several sons to fight, what happened? It is true that his son died several times as he wished, but he himself suffered in a hurry, and he did not hide the incident of eighteen years ago! ”

The Queen Mother listened to her chatter, and her face became more and more ugly.

A cry next to her startled her back to her senses, but she found that Ye Han had already begun to mourn with her ministers. On the side of the female dependent, it was Aunt Lian of Shoukang Palace who took the lead, completely leaving her, the queen mother, aside.

The Queen Mother panicked and wanted to kneel down and blend into the team, but she couldn't do so, so she had to stand next to her, embarrassed.

Now, she ignored it. Although she came early, she did not salute with the crowd, so what difference is there from not coming!

After a long time, the three mourning times were over, and Ye Han stood up with his ministers.

The Queen Mother stepped forward slowly, intending to kneel in and burn incense and burn some paper money to mix up the matter, but the little eunuch in the mourning hall stopped her and said loudly: "The Queen Mother is not in good health, so you don't have to be tired." The servant helped the Empress Dowager back to the palace—"

After speaking, he grabbed her hand, pushed it and walked out.

None of the ministers stopped them, and they all bowed down and saluted, "Please take care of the phoenix body of the Queen Mother."

This means that they all admit that she is sick.

The Queen Mother was very nervous, shook off the eunuch's hand, and roared: "Ling Han, are you going to put the mourning family under house arrest?!" ”

Ye Han said calmly: "The queen mother is hysterical, and it is really unseemly to scream so wildly. I just want to invite the queen mother back to the palace to recuperate, not house arrest. ”

The Queen Mother spat at him and said sharply: "How weak are you to dare not let the mourning family appear in front of people!" You're afraid that the mourning family will expose your murder of the king and usurpation of the throne, aren't you?! ”

The ministers looked at each other.

Ye Han frowned and looked at Ruan Qingzhi: "Look at this ......, what should I do?" ”

Ruan Qingzhi's face was bitter, and he looked very embarrassed: "irritable, unreasonable, hallucinating, and talking nonsense...... It's clear that it's hysteria. It's not that I don't want to help, it's just that you know that my 'divine doctor' was originally blown out by the people of Yangcheng, not to mention that the divine doctor is not a god, this disease is really difficult to treat! The soothing soup in the Tai Hospital is already the best, and I can't give birth to any new tricks, so I can only first wronged the Queen Mother not to come out to meet people for the time being! ”

"You...... You guys! The Queen Mother was so angry that she was like thunder, "Is this world already yours?" Before the first emperor Ling, you were allowed to open your eyes like this and talk nonsense! ”

She turned around abruptly and pointed to the several clan relatives present: "You, you! Speak! How did Ling Han get this throne, and whether he is worthy of being the emperor or not, can't you all see it! How did the first emperor die, can't you see! ”

"The Queen Mother," the people who were ordered were all helpless without exception, "When something happened in the Fu'an Palace, the ministers and others were all present. ”

The Queen Mother was choked for a moment, and then scolded: "What you see with your eyes must be true?" The mourning family told you that Ling Han and his wolf ambitions were rebellious, why don't you believe it! ”

This time, no one would answer her again. The ministers exchanged glances with each other, spread their hands, and then lowered their heads and pretended to be dead.

Ruan Qingzhi let out a long sigh, walked over and grabbed the queen mother's hand instead of the little eunuch, and said in a gentle tone: "Okay, the queen mother, the adults in the court and the central government know what you said, and they will go to investigate." ”

"Shut up!" The Queen Mother shook her hand fiercely, "Don't come to the mourning family to talk, the mourning family has never seen such a shameless girl as you!" When the mourning family married the first emperor, it was a serious three media and six certificates, eight sedan chairs to welcome relatives and ten miles of red makeup to marry, and they had never seen the face of the first emperor before entering the cave room and lifting the hijab! It's not like you-"

"What's wrong with me?" Ruan Qingzhi used force in his hand, clamped it on the wrist of the Queen Mother, and his voice was not lowered: "I am with Ye Han...... Your Majesty has worked side by side to cure the plague and suppress bandits, and now he is punishing the rebels, and all of them are important things to save the country and save the people, I don't think there is any shame. When Your Majesty marries me, you will also have three media, six certificates and eight sedan chairs, and my Ruan family will also have ten miles of red makeup to marry, can the people of the world laugh at me? If they really dare to laugh, it will be called 'picking up the bowl to eat, putting down the chopsticks and scolding the mother'! ”

The Queen Mother's feet were on the ground and refused to leave: "You don't have to be sloppy here!" What the mourning family said is that you don't know the shame of being unmarried and running away! Nanqi has a etiquette law, and the royal family has never had such a ...... A daughter-in-law like you! ”

"I know. From now on. Ruan Qingzhi's expression was flat, and his tone was still extremely gentle: "Queen Mother, you walk slowly and be careful of your step." ”

There was a young eunuch behind him who couldn't hold back his laughter, and then realized that he had broken the rules, and he was so frightened that he knelt down.

Ye Han waved his hand to indicate that it was okay, looked at Ruan Qingzhi and said, "It's okay to let the minions send their mothers, you can come and put incense on your father." You are the daughter-in-law appointed by your father and the emperor himself, so it is inappropriate for you not to come. ”

"I'll send the Queen Mother first, I don't worry about the minions." Ruan Qingzhi withdrew his hand and waved it at him, and then went back to catch the Queen Mother's wrist.

This time she clenched it tighter, and the Queen Mother couldn't help screaming in pain, but she couldn't even shake it off.

Ruan Qingzhi lowered his voice and said coldly: "You better save it!" I said so much nonsense before, and all the gentle and humble images you have worked hard to manage over the years have been ruined, do you see that there is a civil and military officer in the Manchu Dynasty who is willing to answer your words? ”

The Queen Mother was half-dragged away by her, and turned back to glare at her unwillingly.

Ruan Qingzhi smiled at her and said, "I know that the Queen Mother doesn't like the night cold, but you can't be angry when you see him succeeding to the throne, right?" Why did you even scold me for disgusting him? You scolded me, and I won't be able to marry someone else as an emperor in the future, and the new monarch you chose will not be able to marry a phoenix, which can be regarded as unjustified in the eyes of the people! ”

The Queen Mother's eyes suddenly flashed: "The mourning family wants to change someone else to be the emperor, don't you object?" ”

Ruan Qingzhi was silent.

The Queen Mother hurriedly said: "As long as you are with the mourning family, the mourning family can assure you that no matter who changes on the throne, you are the undisputed queen!" It's easy to restore your reputation, and the mourning family can arrange for a reliable grandmother to check your ......"

"Who are you going to appoint?" Ruan Qingzhi stood still and asked her.

The Queen Mother was stunned for a moment, and couldn't answer for a while.

Ruan Qingzhi looked at her and smiled: "His Royal Highness is a stubborn character, if he becomes a king, the former dynasty and the harem must be orderly, and it will be difficult for the queen mother to meddle in the government affairs; His Royal Highness the Sixth is brave and unscrupulous, and who is the person he admires the most in his heart, the Queen Mother, you should also be aware of it; Eight Highnesses...... Everyone knows that the biological mother of His Royal Highness was the palace maid you married, and she secretly climbed onto the dragon bed of the first emperor and had His Royal Highness, and just gave birth to a child before she had time to take a breath, she was given poisonous wine by you - I saw that child two days ago, to be honest, his face was a little fierce, not like a person who would forget to kill his mother for the sake of nurturing. ”

"Then there will be the old nine left." The Queen Mother gritted her teeth.

Ruan Qingzhi slapped his face: "His Royal Highness the Ninth is smart and well-behaved, but the Queen Mother, you have to think about it, Concubine Jiang Xian, the biological mother of the Ninth Highness, is still alive and well!" Let's not talk about the impact of the succession of His Royal Highness the Ninth on the ambitious Marquis Yongning, just talk about the harem, do you want to taste the taste of the queen mother of the two palaces? ”

The Queen Mother listened to her, and her face became more and more gloomy.

Ruan Qingzhi let go of her hand, made a gesture of "please" forward, and said as she walked: "The courtiers are not talented, hereby I advise the Queen Mother: Listening to politics is not something that anyone can do, you have neither the talent to listen to politics nor the life of the heroine, so you should stay in the harem with peace of mind and accompany the Queen Mother, and spend your old age in peace!" ”

The Queen Mother reacted when she heard this, and immediately became furious: "You are not here to help me, you are here to help Ling Han as a lobbyist!" ”

"No," Ruan Qingzhi smiled and shook his head, "The courtiers are here to save your life." ”

The Queen Mother shuddered: "Ling Han, he really dares to kill the mourning family?!" ”

Ruan Qingzhi nodded: "He dares, he just doesn't bother to do it." ”

Without waiting for the Queen Mother to breathe a sigh of relief, she added unhurriedly: "But I'm not lazy." I don't like it when someone yells in front of me and says something that makes me feel disgusting. When this happens, I usually solve the problem with a bag of poison. ”

The Queen Mother gradually felt that her legs were a little weak, but she refused to be helped, so she could only walk forward slowly, one foot deeper, one foot shallow.

Ruan Qingzhi beckoned the little palace maid to help her, and whispered: "Be smart, if the Queen Mother has anything to think of, I will only settle accounts with you!" ”

The little palace maid only agreed, and there was no one who was not well-behaved.

Ruan Qingzhi returned to the Taihe Hall a little bored, and when he saw that the night cold was still there, he pursed his lips and complained in a low voice: "I don't have a brain and want to make trouble, I really don't know how she has been the queen for twenty years!" ”

"It's about killing people." Ye Han commented nonchalantly.

Ruan Qingzhi frowned.

Ye Han led her into the mourning hall, and said with a smile: "Don't underestimate her." The reason why she looks stupid and ridiculous now is because there are no one around her anymore. ”

The queen mother in the heyday of the year, it was a word that could decide the life and death of the entire harem. Now that the people around her are deceiving her, blinding her, and misleading her, what she is doing seems stupid and ridiculous.

Ruan Qingzhi took the three sticks of incense from the little eunuch's hand, but instead of kneeling, he turned to look at Ye Han: "So, when did you start to win over the courtiers, and when did you start to exchange blood in the palace and silently replace all the henchmen around the first emperor and the queen mother with yours?" ”

Ye Han smiled, took the incense in her hand and inserted it into the incense burner for her, and said in a flat tone: "About ten years ago, when the sixth child came to tell me that his mother died strangely. There are many smart and sensible little palace maids and little eunuchs in the palace, and there are many poor families outside the palace who want to send their children into the palace to serve, and it is not difficult to buy a few for my use. ”

It's really not that hard to buy. The difficulty is that the people who are bought have the ability to climb to important positions, squeeze out the enemy's henchmen, and not rebel.

More than ten years ago......

How old was he then?

Ruan Qingzhi looked at Ye Han and shrunk his shoulders in horror: "You are terrible!" You told me earlier that you never remembered that position! You liar! ”

Ye Han spread his hands and looked innocent: "Did I say I just wanted to protect myself?" ”

"Believe you, a ghost!" Ruan Qingzhi snorted coldly, "What 'for self-preservation' is just an excuse to cover up the wolf's ambition!" You don't understand it! ”

The corners of Ye Han's mouth bent downward, making a look of grievance and apprehension, and asked, "If I am really a wolf ambition, you don't want me?" ”

Ruan Qingzhi's eyes rolled, and he pounced with a smile: "What, it's too late for me to be happy, why don't I want you?" ”

Ye Han hurriedly reached out to catch her and laughed silently.

A little eunuch walked in from outside and said, "Your Majesty, the old lady of the Ruan family has sent someone to take the county lord of Qingyang back to his house." ”

Ruan Qingzhi furrowed his brows: "Didn't you say that you would ignore my business earlier, why did you take me back again?" ”

Ye Han reminded: "Today is also Ruan Xiang Wuqi. The old lady is probably waiting for you to go back and kowtow. ”

Ruan Qingzhi immediately waved his hand when he heard this: "I thought it was waiting for me to go back to eat!" What is a good thing to kowtow to? Don't go, don't go! ”

The little eunuch looked embarrassed.

Ruan Qingzhi snorted coldly: "What's the matter, someone came to threaten you?" Do you still tell you that if I don't go back, I will be unfilial? You tell him: I am now in the palace to help them coax the emperor, so that the Ruan family can save their lives; Otherwise, once the emperor is unhappy, they will be beheaded all over the house - you let them pat their conscience and say, whether I am filial or not! ”

The little eunuch hurriedly agreed, and ran away with a smoke.

When he ran away, Ye Han squinted his eyes at Ruan Qingzhi and asked, "Are you helping them coax the emperor in the palace?" How? ”

Ruan Qingzhi said confidently: "Sacrifice hue!" Climb the dragon bed! The whole world knows! ”

Ye Han swallowed his saliva and gritted his teeth: "I don't know the height of the little girl!" ”

Ruan Qingzhi smiled: "Why, I don't care about fame anymore, why are you stingier than me?" Besides, I'm saying nice things about you! You are so old, if no one has climbed into your bed all the time, how worried the elders in the palace and the ministers outside should be! What if they guess? ”

"Guess what?" Ye Han didn't understand this sentence.

Ruan Qingzhi looked at his face, his gaze moved halfway down and then quickly moved away, looked at the wall next to him, pursed his lips vigorously and said, "It's nothing!" ”

Ye Han lowered his head and looked at her face suspiciously, and he didn't understand it for a long time: "What are you thinking about again?" ”

Ruan Qingzhi shook his head quickly, pushed him away and ran out: "I have to keep the vigil until midnight at night, and I have to eat and offer soup, there are many things!" You have time to do business, don't think about what you don't have! ”
