Chapter 741: The Monarch Has Sorrow 3
Xie is Wei Chengze's mother and the hostess of the Wei Palace.
But now that the Xie family has been expelled from the cold palace, although it was still noisy at the beginning, but after experiencing the lesson of Yu Ji, he has also become honest.
Wei Wuji hadn't heard from the other party in the past two years, but today she died, the same day as her son.
A woman like Xie Yun who is locked in the harem is not a big deal if she dies, at least compared to Wei Chengze's death.
But now that both mother and son are dead, the nature of the matter has changed somewhat.
Before, Wei Wuji was worried that people would make a fuss about Wei Chengze, but now that the mother and son are dead, it is more likely that people will stir up trouble here.
The king was jealous of his brother, and killed his brother first and then his mother...... If this word spread, this kind of rebellion against human ethics would be a huge blow to Wei Wuji's prestige.
Wei Wuji's face became gloomy, and he slammed the table and said in a deep voice, "How come?" ”
How could it be...... Yu Zhong couldn't answer this, so he immediately knelt on the ground, and his whole body trembled.
Yu Zhong trembled at this time and said, "Your Majesty, there is news from the Cold Palace...... Xie committed suicide! ”
At this time, after seeing the king's anger, the sound of drums and bamboo in the Changchun Garden, the dancers who had been dancing in the center of the high platform all stopped, and knelt on the ground like Yu Zhong and did not dare to get up.
It was useless to ask the others, so he saw Wei Wuji look at Cao Xin, and then asked, "Madam...... You know, Xie died! ”
Xie Shi died, and Wei Chengze died on the same day, no matter how you look at it, it's boring...... At least there are people in the harem who are troublemakers.
Cao Xin is in charge of the harem, so if something happens, she naturally has to ask her.
Xie Yun died, and Cao Xin was only a little surprised, the death of such a sinner was not a big deal.
But when Cao Xin saw Wei Wuji's gloomy face, she knew that things were not so simple, so she replied, "The concubine doesn't know ......."
Wei Wuji continued: "Just now, the widow received the news of Wei Chengze's death, and now the Xie family is also dead!" ”
After Wei Wuji said this, Cao Xin roughly understood the seriousness of the matter......
Cao Xin said, "Your Majesty...... The concubine will send someone to find out if there is a traitor in this! ”
Wei Wuji was noncommittal, but said meaningfully: "Madame should also check herself, whether she was at fault when she was in charge of the harem!" ”
Wei Wuji had such an idea, which surprised Cao Xin more than Xie Yun's mother and son dying together, she didn't expect her husband to blame herself.
But sometimes, the monarch's mind is so incomprehensible, and now that Wei Wuji is riddled with all kinds of troubles, it is easy to get angry with others like he is now.
Cao Xin knew that she couldn't defend herself, which would only make her husband even more dissatisfied with herself, so she was very obedient and said: "The concubine has had, please punish the king!" ”
Wei Wuji was indeed very annoyed now, but he still had to take care of Cao Xin's face in front of the concubines, so he said, "Okay...... Mrs. will investigate this matter thoroughly and give an explanation to the widow as soon as possible! ”
Cao Xin promised again and again, of course, the matter ended in the best, if she asked again, she would not be able to hold her face.
Although Wei Wuji and Cao Xin's conversation was not loud, the people below also roughly knew that the husband and wife in the hall were unhappy.
But at this time, no one dares to come out and talk more, otherwise it is easy to lift a stone and shoot yourself in the foot.
There was a dead silence in the entire Changchun Circle, and Wei Wuji didn't feel interesting at this time, so he thought about leaving.
Then, he saw Wei Wuji stand up, and then said, "Okay, I also watched the song and dance today...... Keep playing, it's time for the widow to go back to the palace! ”
Then, Wei Wuji got up and left directly, and the concubines did not dare to keep them, and they all bowed down honestly.
After Wei Wuji left, everyone's eyes were focused on Cao Xin, who was in the main seat, and everything had to wait for her to arrange.
At this time, Cao Xin also lost the interest in playing, she was now shrouded in the shadow of Xie Yun's death, she had to find out about this matter, in order to avenge herself for being held accountable by the king.
"It's all gone!" Cao Xin said to the people below, she couldn't stay here anyway.
Although Cao Xin is very obedient in front of Wei Wuji, she is an authority in front of these concubines, and everyone knows that this Empress Wei is not in a good mood at this time, and no one will touch her head at this time.
The drum and dancing girls were the first to retreat, and then the concubines said goodbye to Cao Xin, and within a few minutes, the entire Changchun Garden was deserted.
"Madame......" beside Cao Xin, her confidant female official Huanbi called out with worry.
Cao Xin shook her head with a heavy phoenix crown before she said, "Huanbi...... You've heard about it, too! ”
His wife was in a bad mood, so Huanbi said respectfully: "The slave heard it, and the Xie family died at this time...... It's a bit weird! ”
Cao Xin naturally had nothing to keep for her right-hand man, so she said: "First Wei Chengze died, and then Xie Yun died...... Someone must have done something about it! ”
Huanbi nodded, and then said, "The slave maid wants to do the same...... After the Xie family was made by the Queen Mother, for the sake of his son's life, he settled down, and he would not seek death indiscriminately! ”
"The only thing that can make the Xie family lose hope and commit suicide is who may leak it...... Or it was directly the news that made the Xie family discouraged......"
Huanbi's analysis is the first thing, but it makes Cao Xin, who is in chaos, settle down, as long as the matter is analyzed clearly, then there is a direction to investigate.
Standing up, Cao Xin also walked forward slowly, and said as she walked: "Huanbi, you go out for a walk with the palace...... Don't let anyone else follow! ”
…………
Walking in the secluded garden path, Cao Xin's master and servant were speechless, just now that the two of them had already arranged the next investigation.
So at this time, Cao Xin was really bored in her heart, so she walked around the garden!
Seeing the undepressed color of her master, Huanbi said: "Madam, the arrangement has been ordered, why are you still depressed!" ”
Huanbi was personally trained by Cao Xin's mother, and grew up in Cao Mansion since she was a child, so she is naturally closer to Cao Xin, so only she has the courage to ask.
Cao Xin sighed, and then said, "It has been nearly nine years since this palace was married to the king...... This palace is sighing, time flies like flowing water! ”
"The cardamom years at the beginning have become the graceful women of today, and time has changed...... Many things have changed! ”
These words are a little deep, Huanbi knows that at this time, she only has the right to listen, and has no qualifications to speak.
Immediately, I heard Cao Xin say: "When I first got married...... At that time, the king was still a down-and-out son, and it was said that he was still marrying me after coercing his father! ”
"But at that time, I really wanted to marry him, and it was he who told me what love was...... So I willingly followed him to the north! ”
"Later, when he went to war, every time he left home, I was scared, for fear that he would make a mistake...... Others praise him for his prestige, but I only care about his safety! ”
Cao Xin's words were not only affectionate, but also a little sad, which made Huanbi, who was carefully following behind, feel nostalgic.
"I did my duty as a wife by bearing him children...... At that time, husband and wife were harmonious and affectionate, and they were considerate of each other! ”
"But as he became more famous, I could feel that he was farther away from me...... It wasn't until he succeeded to the throne that I suddenly realized that we were no longer husband and wife, but kings and ministers......"
This is a bit taboo, Huanbi couldn't help but remind with worry: "Madam...... Be careful! ”
Now that Huanbi regrets it a little, she shouldn't talk too much to make Mrs. feel nostalgic, otherwise there would be no such thing.
But who knew that Cao Xin continued: "Yes...... It's time to be cautious, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at this palace in the palace, and I want to see the jokes of this palace! ”
Speaking of this, Cao Xin couldn't help but recall the situation when her husband held herself accountable, as well as the pair of tiger-eyed eyes below.
At this moment, Cao Xin suddenly felt very lonely and insecure...... She desperately wanted to protect herself.
