The Queen Mother thought for a while and ordered, "You all go down first, the mourning family and the emperor should discuss this matter, arrange a sedan chair, and send Concubine Yun back to the palace." ”

"Yes, the concubines and others will retire."

The group had their own thoughts, and they withdrew from the hall one after another, and Lu Qingjin also had a lot of anxiety in his heart, he couldn't eat, and he waited for a day to hear the news.

Fortunately, the emperor persuaded the queen mother, and the queen mother had no intention of managing the government and allowed the palace to continue farming, and the matter came to an end, and Lu Qingjin was finally relieved.

It's just that Concubine Yun's accident this time attracted the attention of the Queen Mother, she thought about it, and always felt that things were not so simple, and later passed on the imperial doctor to ask about Concubine Yun's injuries and medications, and she felt more and more wrong.

That day, Concubine Yun claimed that she was injured because of farming, and now it seems that she is very likely to be lying, no matter what, it is impossible to compare the sword to her wrist and neck, both of which are fatal.

The Queen Mother immediately sent someone to investigate secretly, but after a few days, she found out.

In the evening, a secret guard entered the Empress Dowager's palace and told the Empress Dowager the original information he had found.

"What do you say?! Concubine Yun actually had an affair with a man outside the palace? For the sake of a wild man, he even committed suicide, is this worth it? It's ridiculous! ”

The secret guard said, "They are extremely secretive, very careful, they didn't leave any traces at all, and it took a lot of effort for their subordinates to find out the clues, and later, they found this in Chu Jin's house, please take a look at the Queen Mother." ”

As he spoke, the dark guard presented the thing, and the Queen Mother opened it and looked at it, and her eyes suddenly widened with anger.

She was so angry that she didn't sleep all night, and early the next morning, she immediately ordered someone to call Concubine Yun for questioning.

After a few days of cultivation, Concubine Yun's injuries have healed a little, and her expression is still miserable, which is really pitiful for me.

If it was a few days ago, the Queen Mother would have felt distressed, but now she feels that her appearance is extremely charming and unpleasant.

"The concubine sees the queen mother."

The Queen Mother endured her anger and didn't get angry on the spot, but just quietly gossiped with her.

"How have you been doing in the last two days? Are there any discomforts? ”

Concubine Yun hadn't seen the clue yet, and replied respectfully, "Empress Dowager Xie cares, and everything is fine with the concubine." ”

The Queen Mother continued to forbear, and pretended to be kind, "That's good, you have good intentions, you want to help the emperor and go to farm in person, but you don't want to be so seriously injured, and the mourning family can't help it, what you usually lack, what you want, just tell the queen and let her help you arrange it." ”

"Thank you Queen Mother, the queen mother is very kind to her concubines."

"The mourning family knows that your sisters in the palace have a good relationship, but don't ignore the emperor on weekdays, speaking of which, the emperor is busy with government politics these days, but he hasn't been to the harem for several days."

The topic was brought here, and the Queen Mother pretended to inadvertently mention Chu Jin's matter.

"These young people who participated in the scientific examination this year are really outstanding one by one, especially that Chu Jin, whether it is his character or appearance, or his knowledge and bearing, he is all first-class and good, and he is really a little condescending to only give someone to lift."

When Concubine Yun heard this, she lowered her head a little shyly, her face a little red.

"The emperor has a discerning eye, and the people he chooses are naturally good, but the concubines heard the emperor say that they intended to experience Chu Jin, so they didn't give him an excessively high ranking."

Since she was injured, she hadn't heard from Chu Jin for a long time, and now that she heard the Queen Mother mention him, Concubine Yun's heart beat a little hard, and she talked more.

"It's very good for the emperor to arrange it like this," the queen mother nodded again and again, and then said, "It's just that the mourning family has heard some things recently, and this Chu Jin hasn't been to the court for more than a month." ”

Concubine Yun was taken aback, "Why is this?" ”

The Queen Mother continued to say unhurriedly, "I heard the emperor say that there was a lot of trouble in Chu Jin's family, and he himself had a serious illness, and he couldn't get out of bed for a month. ”

Concubine Yun was worried and anxious, she couldn't hide it at all, and hurriedly said, "How can this be?" Is the disease serious? ”

"It's not clear about this mourner."

Seeing her reaction, the Queen Mother's heart became colder and colder, "Listening to the emperor's meaning, this person is probably useless, and he has already been sent back to his hometown, and there are only a few months left to live." ”

Concubine Yun's whole person seemed to have been struck by lightning, and she couldn't come back to her senses for a long time.

The last time I saw him, he was fine, but it's only been more than a month, and there is such a change.

The Queen Mother paid attention to Concubine Yun's reaction, and said with emotion, "I finally won the lift, I didn't expect that such a thing would happen, I am really jealous of the talent, this Chu Jin is really fateful." ”

Concubine Yun didn't have any scheming in the first place, but now that she has suffered such a fatal blow, she can't pretend to stay out of the matter, she only feels like a dead heart, tears can't stop flowing down, and she mutters in her mouth, "If he dies, I don't want to live anymore." ”

"What are you talking about?" The Queen Mother finally tricked her into saying this, and said with a cold snort, "Who are you?" You want to die with him? ”

Concubine Yun came back to her senses and knelt on the ground with a plop, "Concubine, concubine didn't say anything, maybe...... It's the Queen Mother who misheard......"

The Queen Mother slapped the table and stood up, pointed at her angrily, and exposed her mercilessly.

"Bold Concubine Yun, you dare to have an affair with a man outside, ignore the palace rules as nothing, don't abide by women's morals, and don't know shame, I don't think you want your own head!"

Concubine Yun naturally bit it to death and refused to admit it, "The Queen Mother is angry, please let the Queen Mother know, the concubine is not." ”

The Queen Mother took out something from her sleeve and threw it on the ground, "This is what you gave to Chu Jin, right?" With the evidence in front, what else do you have to quibble? ”

Concubine Yun picked up the thing and found that it was a purse she had given to Chu Jin, with a pair of mandarin ducks embroidered on it, and a letter in the purse, which was written to her by Chu Jin.

Her strength seemed to have been suddenly drained, and she sat on the ground weakly, her eyes straight.

Now that the matter has been revealed, the Queen Mother knows everything, whether it is her or Chu Jin, they will inevitably die.

However, she still wanted to try desperately to save Chu Jin.

"Queen Mother, this matter is all the fault of the concubine, the Queen Mother will punish me alone, please let Chu Jin go, he is innocent, it was the concubines who seduced him."

"Death is on the verge of death, and you have to speak for your lover! Since you have entered the palace, you are already the emperor's person, you don't serve the emperor well, and you even secretly hook up with men outside, how many heads do you have? How dare you commit such a capital crime of killing your head?! ”

The Queen Mother was so angry that she almost fainted on the spot, "Come on, take Concubine Yun down to me and enter the cold palace, no one is allowed to let her out without the order of the mourning family!" ”

"Yes!"
