373: Take the initiative to show your face!
People are selfish, they are very tolerant when they don't involve themselves, and when they do, their thoughts change.
The Queen Mother didn't expect that the birth date written on the back of the puppet was hers, and her life was rare for seventy years, and at the age of the Queen Mother, it was inevitable that there would be various problems with her body.
I don't usually think about anything else, but when I see this puppet, I have other ideas.
Physical discomfort, in addition to old age and physical decay, will it also be related to being cursed by the art of disgust?
The Queen Mother's mood was not good in an instant.
At this time, the queen mother still didn't realize that the queen was cursing her, what is the use of the queen cursing an old woman who is over seventy years old, and if she wants to curse, she will also curse the concubine in the palace.
Even if she understood it in her heart, the Queen Mother was disappointed in the queen's heart: the queen did not practice the art of disgust with victory, but she was responsible for negligence.
I don't know how long this cursed puppet was put into Kunning Palace, and the queen didn't notice it at all.
and the palace maid Jin Rui, who exposed the queen, has served by the queen's side for more than ten years, so she won't betray the lord overnight, there are always some clues in advance, right?
The queen can manage the harem in an orderly manner, but she can't find the abnormality of Kunning Palace, there is only one explanation - the queen doesn't care!
The Queen Mother looked at the queen who was kneeling on the ground:
"This is written with the birthday of the mourning family, what excuse do you have, queen?"
The queen bowed her head, "Evidence has been found in the palace of the concubines, both human and physical evidence, even if the concubines want to defend themselves, are the queen mother and the emperor willing to believe the concubines?" The concubine will never harm the heart of the queen mother, but when such a thing happens, the concubine has no face to continue to be the queen. ”
No one could see the queen's expression.
But everyone heard the queen's voice.
Fuzhen looked at the queen mother, and then at the emperor, and decided to take a gamble to intercede for the queen.
But before she could speak, Cheng Qing, the youngest official in the side hall, stood up instead:
"Your Majesty, today is the queen's banquet, Your Majesty feasted on the ministers and relatives, and ordered the internal and external women to gather in Kunning Palace to congratulate the mother, Your Majesty loves the mother so much, how can the mother not be grateful to Your Majesty? However, at the Qianqiu banquet, Niangniang was first overjoyed and then surprised, the dignity of the mother of a country was trampled under the feet of the traitor, so she was disheartened and asked Your Majesty to abolish the queen, Niangniang did not want to embarrass Your Majesty, how could Your Majesty let Niangniang be wronged? ”
In the side hall, except for the palace people who are waiting, everyone is higher than Cheng Qing.
Even if he pleaded with the queen, it would not be Cheng Qing's turn.
Cheng Qing thought the same way at first.
But since he was dragged into the water by Xiao Yunting and was responsible for investigating the matter, Cheng Qing naturally wanted to seek greater benefits.
It is safe to follow Xiao Yunting to pick up credit, but it doesn't show her ability!
The initiative in this matter seems to be in the hands of the emperor, but if the emperor wants to abolish the queen, he should be furious after searching for "physical evidence", and take down the queen by pushing the boat down the river, instead of continuing to defend the queen - the emperor should not want to abolish the queen, but the queen's attitude is very wrong, and now the emperor urgently needs to have a step down.
If the emperor is regarded as the big boss of the company, then the smart subordinates should hand the big boss a ladder!
Cheng Qing took the initiative to hand the emperor a ladder, and the emperor really asked her:
"Cheng Compilation, there are both human and physical evidence, why do you want to believe the queen?"
"Weichen believes in Niangniang, and believes that everything has its logic, Niangniang is loved by His Majesty, and the position of the middle palace is as stable as a rock, even if there is occasional dissatisfaction, it has nothing to do with the Queen Mother, how can Niangniang do the art of disgust to curse the Queen Mother!"
When the queen had an accident, the queen mother was very defending, which shows that there is affection between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
The people behind it are poisonous, framing the queen for the art of disgust and victory, but the evidence found is that she cursed the queen mother, and the queen mother must be in her heart, and she may not be so firm on the queen's side.
However, in Cheng Qing's eyes, this logic doesn't make sense at all!
What is the benefit of the queen cursing the queen mother, it is better to curse the emperor, curse the emperor to death, no matter which prince succeeds to the throne, you must respect the queen mother-in-law as the queen mother.
When the queen was still provoked by the concubines and upgraded to the queen mother, those days were beautiful.
No matter how bad it is, you can still curse the concubines in the palace, or those princes and princesses, it makes sense, these people are more likely to have conflicts of interest with the queen.
Cheng Qing's words were so straightforward that the emperor didn't know whether to praise her or scold her.
But the emperor also thought so, Cheng Qing handed over the ladder, and the emperor immediately grabbed it:
"You start from the logic of things, but I believe in the queen's character more, the queen must have been framed by a traitor! However, the queen's concerns are also reasonable, and the matter after the abolition can not be mentioned again, from now on, the queen will live in Kunning Palace, and she will not be allowed to go out without a call, until the case is revealed! ”
If the emperor is not abolished, but he wants to lock the queen up?
Cheng Qing thinks this is very good.
She now believes that the emperor does have some conjugal affection for the queen, and temporarily puts the queen under house arrest in Kunning Palace, giving an explanation to the former dynasty and the harem, and also protecting the queen herself.
"Cheng Qing, since you believe that the queen is innocent, do you have the confidence to find out the truth?"
"Wei Chen should do his best, together with Xiao Shizi, Lord Meng, and His Royal Highness the Five, to run for the innocence of Niangniang, and catch the real murderer and hand it over to His Majesty for punishment!"
Cheng Qing had the meaning of a military order, the emperor was satisfied, and the eldest princess Fuzhen was still angry that Cheng Qing invited her to give her a favor, but she wanted to laugh at this time.
This matter may have been done by the former dynasty and the harem together, Cheng Qing, a petty official from the sixth grade, is confident that he can find out the truth?
It's more likely that it won't be detected!
Even if it is found out, it is difficult to say whether the emperor will deal with it, Cheng Qing is stunned and has to hand over the real culprit to the emperor to deal with, the emperor may be in a dilemma, but it is strange that Cheng Qing will not do anything if he has no eyes.
Fuzhen simply kept her mouth shut, waiting for some time to beat the Reservoir Dogs.
The empress kowtowed to the empress dowager and the emperor, and according to the emperor's will, from this time on, she was grounded in Kunning Palace.
The queen insisted that she was not worthy of living in the main dormitory, and only refused to live in the side hall.
The palace people in Kunning Palace have not yet found out whether there is any suspicion, so naturally they will not be sent to serve the queen. There was no palace person around the queen to serve, and the queen mother couldn't bear it, so the emperor sent a few palace people from his Qianqing Palace to serve the queen.
The queen did not hesitate to enter the side hall and never showed up again.
The Queen Mother only felt deeply tired, and was accompanied by Fuzhen's mother and daughter back to Shoukang Palace.
Concubine Shu and others learned that physical evidence had been found in the queen's bedroom, and they pleaded for the queen.
At first glance, today's harem is really a good atmosphere of harmony between wives and concubines, but what these concubines think, only they know themselves.
The queen was placed under house arrest in the side hall of Kunning Palace, and the wives were also allowed to leave the palace, and the work of Cheng Qing and Xiao Yunting had just begun.
Xiao Yunting and Cheng Qing wanted to interrogate all the palace people in Kunning Palace.
I don't know what happened to Senior Brother Meng.
Cheng Qing didn't expect Xiao Yunting and the Fifth Prince to cooperate with her, but she trusted Meng Huaijin.
