"If the truth of the year determined by the Queen Mother is really the truth, the minister should naturally be sued!" Jiang Xiaoyu gritted his teeth and insisted, "It's just that since there are voices of doubt among the people now, the minister still insists that a thorough investigation of the concubines of the year is the best way to do it once and for all!" It's just that the truth of the year is re-examined, and the minister doesn't understand what this matter has to do with the stability and calm of the capital? ”

"You still want to be disrespectful, right?" The Queen Mother said coldly, "Come on, take her down!" ”

The Queen Mother thought that she had been prepared for a long time, and as soon as she gave an order, dozens of masters in the palace had already rushed into the house and surrounded Jiang Xiaoyu.

In the palace, Jiang Xiaoyu naturally did not have such impulsiveness, she knelt on the ground, obediently let the palace masters take her away, and before she left the Fengxi Palace, she saw Emperor Zhou coming.

Seeing such a scene, Emperor Zhou frowned and asked, "What's the matter?" Xiaoyu, how did you make the Queen Mother angry? It's too nonsense, why don't you go and apologize to the Queen Mother with me? ”

Since Emperor Zhou spoke, those masters naturally couldn't make another mistake, so he respectfully stepped aside, he glanced at Jiang Xiaoyu and motioned for her to follow him.

Jiang Xiaoyu wondered in his heart, how could His Majesty come so coincidentally? She took a look, only to see Chang Dan following behind Emperor Zhou with his head down, and just glanced at herself when she raised her eyes, there was no difference in her eyes, but in Jiang Xiaoyu's opinion, this glance didn't seem to be so simple.

She was not sure in her heart, although she didn't have much contact with Chang Dan, she faintly felt that this person was not simple.

Emperor Zhou entered and said with a smile: "Why did this girl Xiaoyu make the queen mother angry?" ”

The Queen Mother raised her lips and sneered, and said, "It's okay to make the mourning family angry, what's so important about the mourning family?" However, this violates the law of the Great Zhou, and it is not something that the mourning family can say! ”

"Oh?" Emperor Zhou saw that the queen was cold, and it was not easy to sit next to her, so he asked with a smile, "What did Xiaoyu do that violated the laws of the Great Zhou?" ”

"Disobey the decree of the mourning family, Your Majesty said, this can be regarded as disobeying the laws of the Great Zhou?" The Queen Mother asked coldly.

Emperor Zhou glanced at Jiang Xiaoyu sternly and scolded: "What the Queen Mother asks you to do, you just do it, why disobey the Queen Mother's decree?" How many dares do you have? Do you think that with the Chu Palace's support for you, I won't dare, so how about you? ”

"Don't dare!" Jiang Xiaoyu knelt down and hugged his fists, "The minister also has a hard time!" If it is something else, the minister will not dare to disobey the queen mother's decree even if he goes up the sword mountain and down the sea of fire, but the queen mother ordered this time, the minister is indeed embarrassed, even if the queen mother wants to punish the minister, the minister is willing to accept it! ”

"Oh? Tell me, what's so embarrassing? Emperor Zhou asked.

"I'm afraid I don't have to say it!" The Queen Mother took over and said, "If everyone says that the will of the mourning family and His Majesty makes it difficult for you, and if everyone says that it is difficult to disobey the holy will, then where is the authority of this heavenly family? If the mourning family doesn't kill you today, how will you explain to the courtiers in the future? ”

"I'm afraid the queen mother's words are serious, this little fish is the top of the world's heart, if you kill the little fish, the son of the world will be heartbroken, the queen mother has always loved the world, and in the end it is the queen mother herself who is distressed!" Emperor Zhou persuaded.

"It's okay not to kill her, but it's inevitable that a capital crime will be a living crime!" The Queen Mother said coldly, "Since Your Majesty is also here, Your Majesty is also commenting on the reasoning, whether the Mourning Family's will is embarrassing for the Marquis!" ”

The Queen Mother paused slightly, glanced at Jiang Xiaoyu coldly, and said: "Now in this capital, rumors are everywhere, since something has happened, blindly suppressing it will inevitably make people think that there is something hidden in the things of the year, so such rumors will inevitably make a comeback one day." It's better to break the matter now, the whole Bai family was ambushed back then, although it was already an ironclad thing, but fortunately, Jiang Xiaoyu survived, as the identity of the descendant of the Bai family, she was able to live to this day, shouldn't she do something to repay it? Why not, if the mourning family asked her to write a confession? What is it about this that makes her embarrassed? Or is it that the mourning family is now old and what they say is completely useless? ”

"The queen mother's idea is very good!" Emperor Zhou said, "But I have a different opinion, Xiaoyu's current identity is the daughter-in-law of the royal family, a member of the heavenly family, and she now represents not only the Bai family, but also the heavenly family!" She is now in the identity of the Bai family, where will her status as a heavenly family go? What she says now, how much will the people believe it? In the end, I am afraid that public opinion will be even more unfavorable to us! ”

Emperor Zhou smiled slightly, and then said: "Ten years ago, it didn't cause any trouble, let alone now? It's just a few gossip, why worry about the queen mother? It's just a trivial matter, I can handle it completely, the queen mother doesn't have to worry, is the queen still at ease with me? I have already handed over this matter to the second child to deal with, and the queen mother should also believe in the second child's ability! ”

In the queen mother's heart, since Her Majesty is here, she naturally can't continue to teach Jiang Xiaoyu a lesson today, and she can't save His Majesty's face, but if she stops here, it will make her unwilling in her heart.

She is the queen mother and the mother of a country, whether it is the things of the past or the present, she will see it in her eyes, no one can do what she doesn't like under her nose, and no one can hide anything from her!

"What Your Majesty said makes sense, but this truth is reasonable, Jiang Xiaoyu's disobedience to the will of the mourning family is a fact, how can the two be neutralized? If it is forgotten this time, who will be useful to the mourning family in the future? The Queen Mother sneered.

"The Queen Mother is right!" Emperor Zhou said sternly, "Jiang Xiaoyu disobeyed the Empress Dowager's decree, this matter should be punished, someone will drag her down, hit the top ten boards, in order to set an example, if there is a next time, there will be no forgiveness!" ”

The corners of the Queen Mother's mouth raised slightly, but the coldness in her eyes became more and more intense, and she smiled: "Since Your Majesty has spoken, what can the mourning family say, just do what Your Majesty says!" ”

"Don't hurry up and thank the Queen Mother for her grace!" Emperor Zhou said.

"Thank you, Queen Mother, and Your Majesty for your grace!" Jiang Xiaoyu hurriedly said.

Emperor Zhou waved his hand, and two eunuchs had already come to move benches in the courtyard, and Chang Dan said with a smile: "Lihou, please!" ”

Jiang Xiaoyu had no choice, got up and slowly walked to the front of the stool and lay down, Chang Shan whispered in her ear: "Don't worry, Your Majesty has already arranged it, and it will be fine!" ”

Jiang Xiaoyu nodded lightly.

Another powerful eunuch came and slammed Jiang Xiaoyu's ass with a board, Jiang Xiaoyu frowned slightly, although it was said that it had already been arranged, but this board was still not light.

Finally got past the ten boards, Jiang Xiaoyu was helped by two eunuchs and walked outside the palace.

And Emperor Zhou did not leave Fengxi Palace in a hurry, chatting with the Queen Mother.

"The country can't be without a day without a queen, and it is quite laborious for the mourning family to watch Concubine Qi deal with the affairs of the harem, and it is also excellent to ask the queen to help her!" The Queen Mother suddenly changed her words and said.

Today's intercession for Jiang Xiaoyu must be a favor owed to the Queen Mother, and at this moment Emperor Zhou has no reason to refute, it is a transaction between the two, he nodded lightly and said: "I want to come these days, she has also eaten enough lessons, I will lift her grounding and start to take care of the affairs of the harem!" ”

"Your Majesty and the queen are husband and wife after all, Your Majesty still went to meet the queen in person, she has lost a lot of grievances these days, as a husband, you should comfort a few words!" The Queen Mother said.

"If the queen mother doesn't command, I will also go to see the queen!"

Jiang Xiaoyu walked out of the queen with her waist, thanks to her internal strength to protect her body, and she was able to keep the meridians, if she changed to a person who didn't understand martial arts, these ten boards would go down, I was afraid that the skin would open and the flesh would bloom!

She walked slowly holding on to the city wall, and as soon as she left the palace, she saw Zhao Ling and Zhao Yan hurrying over on horseback, and when she came out safely, she was relieved.

Zhao Ling hurriedly dismounted, galloped to Jiang Xiaoyu, and asked, "Is there anything wrong?" ”

"It's been beaten, and the ass is probably blooming!" Jiang Xiaoyu held his waist and said with a bitter face.

"Does it hurt?" Zhao Ling pressed the broken hair on Jiang Xiaoyu's sideburns behind his ears in distress, and asked gently.

"Can it not hurt? But the skin is traumatic, and it will be fine if you lie down for two days! Jiang Xiaoyu said, "Why are you here?" ”

"I was just with the second child, I heard that the queen mother used her own personal guard, and at this time you are in Fengxi Palace, we are worried that this matter is the emperor's grandmother against you, so we rushed over non-stop, fortunately, you came out safely!" Zhao Ling said with trepidation, "I can make the imperial grandmother dispatch all the personal guards, I think she is at least killing in this matter!" ”

At this time, Zhao Yan also dismounted and came to Jiang Xiaoyu's face, looked at her, and was relieved to see that she was fine, and asked, "What happened?" ”

Jiang Xiaoyu told the two of them what happened in the Empress Dowager's palace.

Zhao Ling pursed her lips slightly and said: "It seems that the imperial grandmother still quite minded the things of the past, and looking at the imperial grandmother's thoughts, it seems that she is protecting the eldest grandson's family again!" ”

Jiang Xiaoyu nodded and said: "The Queen Mother will suddenly target me, I'm afraid that I will turn over the things of the year, after all, no one is more suitable for the legitimate request to investigate the things of the year!" Eldest Sun Hu's mind is really deep, this time we thought that he just wanted to make His Majesty angry, and once again set off the bloody storm of the year, but we didn't expect him to be the queen mother even more! They want to take this opportunity to win back the heart of the Queen Mother! ”

"Anyway, let's talk about it later!" Zhao Ling said, "Go back and treat the wound first!" I'll send you back! ”

After he finished speaking, he picked up Jiang Xiaoyu and walked in the direction of Jiang Mansion, turned his head and said to Zhao Yan: "She can't sit, you can help me lead the horse back!" ”

The corners of Zhao Yan's mouth hooked slightly, and he nodded.
