Chapter 689: The Problem
Inside the house, Jiang Wan was reading a book on the chaise longue, Jin Er bent down to add silver bone charcoal to the charcoal basin, and he couldn't smell the slightest charcoal fire when he was close, but there was a faint smell of pine branches, which was very good.
After reading it overnight, Jiang Juan turned the page.
Outside, Si'er ran in, running in a hurry, and the bead curtain made a pleasant jingling sound.
The voice was very pleasant, but Jiang Wan's brows furrowed, Bai Jingxuan's maid has always understood the rules, and she does things and walks lightly, lest she disturb her, this time......
Si'er stepped forward quickly, Jiang Juan looked at her, "What's wrong?" ”
Si'er gasped a little and said, "The second young master was not beheaded. ”
Jiang Juan raised his eyebrows, "The prince saved it?" ”
It's understandable for a father to try his best to save his son, Jiang Wan is not surprised.
Si'er shook his head like a rattle.
Qi Moming's execution, such a bloody scene, Jin Er didn't dare to see it, Si'er volunteered, who made the second young master so annoying, she wanted to see it with her own eyes, and come back to tell the girl that others would inevitably be distorted.
Looking at Si'er shaking his head, Jin Er was surprised, "It's not the prince, will someone save the second young master?" ”
"It's the Queen Mother," Si'er also felt strange.
Jiang Wan's brows were twisted and couldn't be loosened.
I only listened to Si'er in detail, "The executioner's knife was raised, the guards asked the knife to keep people, and after the guards rescued the people, Ning Mama, who was next to the Queen Mother, arrived in a carriage, Xu was too anxious, Ning Mama got out of the carriage and vomited for a while, and then said to the Ministry of Criminal Affairs that the case of the murder of the Hou Shizi of Beiyun was suspicious, and the execution was suspended." ”
Jin Er listened, "Is there any suspicion?" ”
Si'er shook his head, "There is no doubt, I saw the second young master kick Beiyun Hou Shizi with my own eyes, and then Beiyun Hou Shizi ran out of anger, he didn't kill the person, who else killed it?" ”
Jiang Juan sat up straight, closed the book and said, "Not only is there a doubt, but it is also very big." ”
It was the Queen Mother who wanted the Ministry of Punishment to be executed immediately, and it was the Queen Mother who said that there were doubts and the execution should be suspended.
Although Doctor Tie asked the Queen Mother to take back the decree twice, this does not mean that the Empress Dowager's decree has become an empty word, and she can release it if she wants to, and accept it if she wants to.
With such a change in order and day, where is the majesty of the Queen Mother?
Jin Er guessed, "It must be that the prince did something to save the second young master." ”
Si'er shook his head, "It doesn't seem to be, next to the place where I am standing is the person from the Protector's Mansion, who is familiar with Mama Ning, and asked Mama Ning what happened, Mama Ning only said to let the Protector enter the palace once, and the people from the Protector's Mansion did not give up, and asked the guards again, only to know that the prince had not entered the palace since he left the palace this morning, but Concubine Mei did not go to the execution ground, and entered the palace to ask to see the Queen Mother....... ”
However, Si'er felt that Concubine Mei did not have such a big face in the Queen Mother, and if the Queen Mother valued her, she would not have sent an edict to the Criminal Department to the old lady of the Protector of the Country, and asked the Ministry of Criminal Affairs to execute immediately.
Jiang Juan put down the book, no matter how she looked at it, she felt that this thing was unusual, even if the prince caught the queen mother, it would not make Mama Ning go out of the palace to save people in such a hurry, as if she was a step too late.
There is also Concubine Mei, her son killed the nephew of the princess who protected the country, and the Queen Mother also ordered the immediate execution, it can be said that there is almost no room for maneuver, she did not rush to see her son for the last time, but entered the palace to see the Queen Mother, she was sure that she could persuade the Queen Mother to save her son?
Concubine Mei is the concubine that the Queen Mother rewarded to the prince, could it be that Concubine Mei has some fatal handle in the hands of the Queen Mother?
Threatening the Queen Mother can be saved for a while, but it angers the Queen Mother, not only can she not even save her son's life, but she is afraid that she will also die in the hands of the Queen Mother.
Besides, the Protector Mansion was waiting for the news of Qi Moming's beheading, and the subordinates entered the mansion and hurriedly reported the matter on the execution ground, and the Protector was frowning enough to kill flies.
"Is it the Queen Mother who wants to suspend the execution?" The Protector does not believe it.
The subordinate nodded, "According to the message of the Queen Mother who went to the execution ground in person, the second young master of the Jing'an Royal Mansion has been escorted back to the prison of the Criminal Department unscathed. ”
What is the Queen Mother doing?
Knowing that King Jing'an's son wanted his nephew's life, Mrs. Beiyunhou was eager to avenge her son, and the queen mother also agreed to the old lady, why did she suddenly withdraw her life?
The protector was puzzled, the queen mother did not summon him into the palace, he also had to enter the palace to ask the queen mother.
When the protector entered the palace, he happened to meet Concubine Mei out of the palace, the wind lifted the curtain, and Concubine Mei leaned on the carriage, closing her eyes and recuperating.
In the past few days, because of worry, I can't eat or sleep, and now I even went out to see the Queen Mother, and shook out the secret that I had hidden in my heart for almost 20 years.
What worries her right now is the old lady and the second master.
The mother and son are suspicious of each other, one is more serious than the other, she doesn't want a good reason to explain the queen mother's abnormal behavior, they will definitely be too careful.
The Protector entered the palace and went straight to the Queen Mother's Shunning Palace.
The Queen Mother sat on the phoenix chair, seemingly a little distracted, but the palace maid reminded her, "Queen Mother, the Lord Protector has arrived." ”
The Lord Protector looked at the Queen Mother and said, "What is there that makes the Queen Mother uneasy?" ”
The Queen Mother waved her hand, and everyone in the palace retreated.
The Protector frowned slightly, and said, "The Queen Mother is looking for a minister?" ”
The Queen Mother said, "No matter what method you use, help the Mourning family save the life of the second young master of Jing'an Palace." ”
The protector's eyes shrank, "Queen Mother, the son of King Jing'an killed the nephew of the minister in public, you took back your life, and the sister thought that it was because the minister was greedy for power, and you also wanted the minister to keep the life of the son of King Jing'an, which was too embarrassing for the minister." ”
"There is no reason to say the past, and the minister can't explain it to his mother and sister-in-law."
The Queen Mother looked at the Protector, her phoenix eyes were a little majestic, and the Protector was in a trance.
King Cheng died suddenly, and the Queen Mother lost her fighting spirit overnight.
What are you fighting?
Even if she fights for the throne, what can she do, without a son, does she have to count on the two princesses under her knees to inherit the throne she fought for?
For so many years, it was the old lady who persuaded the queen mother that without power, it was difficult to keep the scenery of her old age, and without power, it was difficult to guarantee that the emperor would not pursue the old account of being the queen mother who suppressed him for so many years.
The Queen Mother was a little lazy, and occasionally took care of the affairs of the court, and it was mostly his protector who pushed behind her.
But looking at it now, the Queen Mother is completely different from the past, it is a fighting spirit emanating from her bones, as if she has returned to the way she was when she helped King Cheng fight for the throne.
The son of King Jing'an has such a great ability?
The Queen Mother retracted her eyes and said, "King Jing'an has the handle of the mourning family in his hand, and he can shake the position of the queen mother of the mourning family." ”
The Protector was shocked.
He doesn't have such a handle, can King Jing'an have it?
But for such a big matter, the Queen Mother shouldn't lie to him.
Protecting the country and justice, "King Jing'an borrowed courage from heaven and dared to threaten the Queen Mother." ”
The Queen Mother said, "He even dared to force the old prince to leave Kyoto, let alone the mourning family, the mourning family and your Protector's Mansion are both prosperous and lossy, the stakes in this, there is no need to say more about the mourning family, right?" ”
Protect the country and justice, "Sister Keshe...... ”
The Queen Mother was a little unhappy, "How can there be a big thing that doesn't bleed and doesn't lose your life?" is how many lives you have stepped on in the position of protecting the country, and the mourning family owes her, and she will always make up for it. ”
The Queen Mother has said this, how can there be room for the protector to refuse, he can only say, "The minister should do his best." ”
"It's not about trying, it's about having to," the Queen Mother reiterated.
The protector looked at the Queen Mother, and saw the seriousness on the face of the Queen Mother, these days King Jing'an did not move, and did not panic at all, did he really hold the Queen Mother's fatal handle, and the Queen Mother would put pressure on him and force him to back down?
But the prince of Beiyun Hou is only his nephew, and his father is Beiyun Hou, he will rely on the Queen Mother, but Beiyun Hou may not.
However, to protect Qi Moming's life, he can get the military power in the hands of King Jing'an, and he will not lose money.
When he gets the military power, it's not too late to avenge his nephew.
It's just that it's easy to keep Qi Moming talking, isn't the Queen Mother giving him a problem?
The Protector had a headache and left the Shunning Palace.
The queen mother here perfunctorily protected the country, and the old lady over there asked about Concubine Mei, and Concubine Mei said, "Old lady, you have to protect me." ”
The old lady said, "What's going on again?" ”
Concubine Mei said, "In order to let the Queen Mother take back her fate, I lied and said that the prince had the handle of the Queen Mother in his hands......." ”
The old lady was stunned, "You are so bold, deceive the Queen Mother, don't you want to die?!" ”
Concubine Mei said, "I can't keep Ming'er, what's the use of keeping my life, it's better to just gamble like this, the queen mother can take back her life, which is enough to show that she really has a bad intention, it's a big deal to find a handle." ”
The old lady was noncommittal.
is in the harem, and the queen mother is in a high position, how can he not have a few lives in his hands?
may make the Queen Mother panic like this, could it be that the emperor's biological mother was killed by the Queen Mother?
The old lady here guessed so, and the old lady of the protector over there also thought so, when it came to the identity of the queen mother, except for the queen mother and the emperor who could barely suppress her, no one could make the queen mother panic.
"The Queen Mother can't fall right now," said the old lady of the protector.
At this point, there is no need for the old lady of the protector to say, the protector is also clear, "But Qi'er was killed in public, and in full view of everyone, how can I help overturn the case?" ”
If you don't help your nephew take revenge, but also help the enemy clear your name, what is this called?
He thought of saying that the Hou Shizi of Beining had a hidden disease, and the death caused by the attack of the hidden disease under the fight with Qi Moming was not enough to help Qi Moming get rid of the crime, but it was enough to save his life.
But his nephew is strong and strong, and he rarely gets sick, and he dares to say so, but he is afraid that his sister will be angry and will instigate Beiyunhou to turn against him.
Headache.
The old lady of the protector didn't speak, the military power of the Jing'an palace is wanted, but the revenge of the grandson must also be avenged.
has been a long-cherished wish for many years, and now that she has stepped into the coffin with one foot, she doesn't want to die with regrets.
After not staying for a while, the Protector left.
When I passed by the garden, I saw the huge young master coming from a distance.
The little guy didn't know what he said, but the huge young master seemed to be in a good mood.
The Protector's footsteps stopped, and the gloom on his face dissipated a little.
Isn't this a ready-made way to get the best of both worlds?
Jiang Juan and Qi Moyuan never dreamed that in the case of the murder of the Hou Shizi of Beiyun, the murderer Qi Moming was on the execution ground, but in the end, this fire burned to the huge young master.
