Chapter 364: The Man Behind It
After dinner, under the clouds, the sky and the earth turned into a silvery white, and the snowflakes fell one after another, and after a while, it was a beautiful scenery covered in silver.
The sky gradually darkened, and Grandpa Cui disappeared for most of the day and finally came back, entered the main hall to clear the snow on his body, walked to the Queen Mother and said, "Queen Mother, check it out." ”
In winter, the queen mother's finger joints will have a faint effect as soon as the snow falls, and she is soaking in potion at the moment, and slowly asks: "Who is going to check?" ”
Gonggong Cui stood behind the Queen Mother and replied, "The Imperial City Division sent someone to investigate." ”
The Queen Mother took her hand out of the potion, her hot fingers were red, she picked up the towel on the side and wiped it, turned around and sat on the soft couch, and said, "Tell me about it." ”
Father-in-law Cui replied truthfully: "After investigation, Xi Concubine had dealings with the regent when she was grounded. ”
When the name of this person who had never heard of it came out, the Queen Mother's face suddenly turned pale, the towel that wiped her fingers suddenly stopped, and she asked extremely seriously: "Is the news reliable?" ”
Gonggong Cui replied: "The Imperial City Division has always been rigorous in its work, and the Queen Mother, you also know that the regent is too powerful, and the Imperial City Division is afraid that if he investigates again, he will startle the snake, and he will not dare to check again if he finds some clues." ”
The Queen Mother immediately threw aside the towel in her hand angrily and said angrily: "Hmph! What a regent, after so many years, finally can't bear it. ”
Father-in-law Cui also said nervously: "Concubine Xi is also a good skill, and she can actually hook up with the regent." ”
The Queen Mother immediately disdainfully said: "Just her? A proud son like the Lord Regent would appreciate her face? Suddenly, the Queen Mother suddenly remembered something, and her face sank: "Her face has earned a lot of anger for herself." ”
Grandpa Cui also suddenly realized: "Yes, the slave almost forgot this." Queen Mother, this matter is not trivial, I am afraid that the regent has a ghost in his heart, and he can't help but guard against it! Do you want to report to Your Majesty? ”
The Queen Mother immediately raised her hand to stop: "No, don't startle the snake before you find out." Now that the situation is turbulent, if the regent is provoked to do evil in the chaos again, won't it make the emperor more worried? ”
The hall was quiet in an instant, and Gonggong Cui didn't dare to say anything again. The Queen Mother pondered for a long time, and didn't dare not care, so she immediately squinted her eyes fiercely: "The mourning family wants to go to Fengxiang Palace." ”
"Now?" , Father-in-law Cui was suddenly startled, looked at the almost dark sky outside, it was still snowing, and said: "It's not early, it's still snowing, the Queen Mother will go again tomorrow." ”
The Queen Mother couldn't wait to stand up and said: "Such a major event, it can't be delayed, the mourning family will go to explore the wind on the queen's side first." ”
Gonggong Cui hurriedly took the fox fur and put it on the Queen Mother, and asked someone to prepare the phoenix, and then held the Queen Mother's hand and carefully walked out of the dormitory.
When I arrived at Fengxiang Palace, it was already completely dark, and the snow-white snowflakes fell on the brown fox fur daze, which was clearly visible.
The palace people were all shocked when they saw the queen mother coming at night, and the queen also hurried out to greet her, and the people kneeling on the ground in the courtyard.
Even the queen of the world, when she saw the queen mother, she knelt on the ground and saluted: "The concubines see the queen mother." ”
The snow fell, and the Queen Mother looked down at the queen, and she didn't want to reply.
The queen asked, "I wonder what happened when the Queen Mother came at night?" ”
The Queen Mother said: "The mourning family is here to see the three princes, get up and speak." ”
The queen took the hand of the palace maid beside her and got up, and hurriedly led the way: "The third prince is in the side hall, and the queen mother asks to come with her concubines." ”
Entering the side hall, entering the door is the warm clothes, the queen mother faded the fox fur, walked to the cradle of the three princes, the child slept fragrantly.
The Queen Mother glanced at it, turned her head to the queen and said, "Do you know why the mourning family didn't let Xi Concubine raise the third prince?" ”
The queen guessed a rough idea, but she didn't dare to speak rashly, and shook her head in confusion: "The concubine doesn't know." ”
The queen sat down with Grandpa Cui's hand, looked at the queen, and said strongly under indifference: "You are a smart person, why pretend to be confused in front of the mourning family?" ”
The queen was facing the Queen Mother, bowed her head slightly, and said: "The concubine is stupid, I'm afraid that what I think in my heart is only approximate, and the Queen Mother doesn't need to be far-sighted." ”
The Queen Mother snorted coldly: "The prince of the Heavenly Family, he is extremely noble, and he will soar in the future, don't think that your son is the crown prince, which is equivalent to sitting firmly in the position of the prince." ”
One sentence was enough to shock the queen's heart, and under the seemingly stable face, she still swallowed and spat uneasily.
Even such a subtle change was still perceived by the Queen Mother, who asked, "What are you nervous about?" Isn't what the mourners said wrong? Otherwise, why are the crown prince and the second prince not in harmony all these years? ”
Immediately, the Queen Mother glanced at the cradle of the three princes, and said: "Don't look at the three princes are still in infancy, but they are also the emperor's sons, do you know why Xi Concubine suddenly turned over?" ”
Every word of the queen mother hit the crown prince directly, and the queen didn't dare not pay attention to it, so she said: "In the opinion of the concubine, if you rely on the concubine herself, you can't do it." ”
The mourning family smiled with satisfaction: "The mourning family knows that you are a smart person, but do you know who the person behind it is?" ”
The queen immediately looked at the queen mother, shook her head and said, "The concubine doesn't know." She guessed that the Queen Mother must have found something, and looked at the Queen Mother with anticipation, she was also curious.
The Queen Mother said without concealment: "It's the regent." ”
When these three words popped out, the queen was instantly startled and wanted to say something, but she looked at the palace people around vigilantly and ordered: "You all go out." ”
The palace people walked cleanly, and the queen took a few steps forward, getting closer to the queen mother, and said: "What does the queen mother mean is that the reason why the regent can help Xi Concubine is because of the concubine?" ”
The corner of the Queen Mother's lips raised a gloomy and satisfied smile: "It's good that you know the inside story." ”
The queen glanced at the three princes and said seriously: "The concubines finally understand, why didn't the Queen Mother let the concubines raise the three princes, but the concubines didn't understand, why did the Queen Mother let the concubines raise them?" ”
The Queen Mother's face sank: "At that time, the mourning family didn't know that the person behind it was the regent, so the mourning family would come." ”
The queen looked at the three princes again and said solemnly: "The queen mother can rest assured, the concubines must regard the three princes as their own children, raise them, and never let the concubines be contaminated." ”
The Queen Mother chuckled and said, "Parent-child? Your own son is only the crown prince, and when you say this, the mourning family doesn't believe it. ”
The queen wanted to say something, but the queen mother preemptively said: "You should know how much of a threat the regent poses to the crown prince, and now he is putting his hand into this harem, I am afraid that there will be some big moves, you should be more careful." ”
The queen knew the mystery of this, and stood there rolling her eyes uneasily, and too many precarious thoughts came to mind.
Immediately, the Queen Mother stood up and said to the queen: "You remember what the mourning family said today, the third prince is here with you, if there is a little difference, there is not a single hair, and the mourning family will never spare you." The mourning family can help you wait for your queen's position in the past, and you can also pull you down from the queen's position, as long as the mourning family says a word, anyone can be the queen of this glorious country. ”
The queen immediately trembled, knelt down and said: "The queen mother can rest assured, since she is your majesty's child, the concubine is a mother-in-law, and she must be good to raise." ”
The Queen Mother lowered her head and said coldly: "You'd better not disappoint the mourning family, don't think that the mourning family doesn't know about the things you have done with the prince over the years." ”
Throwing down this sentence, the Queen Mother wandered away, leaving the Queen to kneel on the ground alone, uneasy for a long time.
