Because it is almost the New Year's Festival, Meng Jiao means that these things are left to be sorted out slowly after the New Year's Festival, after all, all people and things are difficult to verify during the New Year's Festival.

"What everyone knows now is that the reason why the grandfather was sentenced to the crime of rebellion was because someone in the court was impeached at that time, and the emperor sent someone to the grandfather's house to verify, and found out the heirloom treasure of the big oak, as well as the correspondence between the king of the big oak and the grandfather."

"Yes, when Xue Guogong's case occurred, I was as big as you, it is said that the first emperor was angry and angry because of Xue Guogong's rebellion, coupled with a long-term illness, that he was able to control Bintian, and then, it was the current emperor who really dealt with Xue Guogong's case."

Xue Guogong's case was widely implicated, except for Xue Guogong's family who were imprisoned and exiled, more than a dozen ministers in the DPRK and the Central Committee and Xue Guo's public transport were not spared.

It's just that Shen Yunxiao at that time had already been put on the battlefield and failed to stay in Beijing to gain insight into the court situation.

Meng Jiao was not surprised when she heard that this was handled by the current emperor.

If the current emperor is in charge, then Xue Wan, who is the concubine of Xue Guo, can escape this catastrophe just by marrying someone else, which makes sense.

"In this way, it can be right, why did my mother survive, Brother Yunxiao, you probably don't know that my mother and the emperor used to have a deep love for their youth."

Shen Yunxiao really didn't know about it, it was probably the royal secret, or maybe the queen mother really didn't like Xue Wan, so she let people seal the news.

So if the emperor remembered the old love and just let Xue Wan go, this matter would probably be reasonable.

It's just that Shen Yunxiao and Meng Jiao always feel that something is wrong, as if they have forgotten something very important.

"No, Brother Yun Xiao, let's not talk about whether the emperor is the kind of person who misses the old love, even if he is, what about the Queen Mother? She will not let go of her mother, a thorn in her side, because the emperor thinks of her love for her mother. ”

Shen Yunxiao listened to Meng Jiao's words and nodded yes.

Indeed, they were all thinking about the emperor just now, so they would let Xue Wan live.

But they all ignored that the real person in power at that time was not the emperor, but the current queen mother.

"If this is the case, the Queen Mother should treat Aunt Xue as a thorn in the flesh, how can she give up killing her because of a little affection, then there must be other reasons that make her have to let Aunt Xue go."

Meng Jiao nodded, then, what was the reason that the Queen Mother had no choice but to give up the idea of killing Xue Wan?

"It may be that my mother has something in her hands that the Queen Mother is afraid of!"

Yes, there is only one explanation.

The Queen Mother is ruthless and vicious, and she must deal with those she doesn't like quickly, and it is absolutely impossible for Xue Wan to be careless.

Then, it can only be because Xue Wan has something in her hands that she is very afraid of.

"It can only be explained in this way, the thing that Aunt Xue has must be closely related to her, if she dies, the thing that is not good for the Queen Mother will be made public."

Therefore, the Queen Mother will let her go.

"But... But then my mother passed away, and that thing was not made public, otherwise, it would have caused a mutiny. ”

Shen Yunxiao looked at Meng Jiao's thoughtful appearance, was silent for a long time, and decided to tell the little girl about his guess.

"Gillian... Is it possible that Aunt Xue's death was not all because of Liu Qingqing, but because there was another high-ranking person behind her, such as... Dowager? ”

Meng Jiao was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously wanted to deny it, but found that there was no reason to overturn this conjecture.

Xue Wan had something in her hand that the Queen Mother was afraid of, so the Queen Mother could only let her go.

However, the Queen Mother is not the kind of person who is controlled by others, she will definitely try her best to get what Xue Wan has in her hands.

"If this is the case, then the thing in her mother's hand should have been taken away by the Queen Mother, so she can let Liu Qingqing kill her mother, and even help her harm her mother, because she has no scruples."

In this way, Liu Qingqing's small skills can easily hide from everyone, and the queen mother can still sit in the harem after Xue Wan's death without being affected, all of which makes sense.

The things in Xue Wan's hands have already been taken by the Queen Mother, so the Queen Mother can kill them without being affected.

"It should be like this, in this way, everything can be connected in series, Xue Guogong's case is unjust, Aunt Xue may have obtained evidence related to this, the queen mother was afraid that the matter would be revealed, so she secretly made someone steal that kind of thing, after the thing was in hand, let Liu Qingqing secretly kill him, and then, it was his father who found out the clue, because it threatened their interests, so... Brutally murdered..."

Shen Yunxiao said that in the end, he was already gritting his teeth.

If it was really a serial poisonous scheme, for his own selfishness, he did not hesitate to behead more than a dozen ministers.

"Brother Yun Xiao, about my mother's thing, I prefer that kind of thing, that kind of thing only threatens the interests of the queen mother, and has nothing to do with the unjust case of my grandfather."

"Why?"

"If that kind of thing is strong evidence of the ancestor's unjust case, then my mother, as the daughter of the Xue family, is the most effective way to publish that kind of evidence to the public at that time, and there is no need to protect herself at all."

After careful analysis, Meng Jiao roughly determined who that thing was related to.

According to this inference, it must not be strong evidence of Xue Guogong's unjust case, then it can only be the queen mother's private matter.

"But Gillian, if according to what you said, what Aunt Xue got was related to the Queen Mother's private affairs, then she could use this thing to blackmail the Queen Mother and ask her to pardon the Xue family."

What Shen Yunxiao said is unreasonable, if this thing is really so important, he can use this as a threat to let the Queen Mother release people, or even pardon the Xue family.

It didn't make sense that Xue Wan could only protect herself, but the Xue family was still destroyed.

"Brother Yun Xiao, let's not talk about how complicated the things were at that time, even if they weren't complicated, after all, they also involved the Nankang family, and the Queen Mother was afraid that she couldn't end the events of the year for her own selfishness."

Back then, Xue Guogong was involved, not only the emperor and the queen mother.

What's more, there are also Concubine Nankang, who was in full swing back then, and King Nankang, the Queen Mother has no way to dominate at all.

"So Brother Yun Xiao, I think that kind of thing is not that important, at least it is not enough to threaten the Queen Mother to give up the alliance with Concubine Nankang and pardon the Xue family, but whether that thing is so unimportant, after all, it still protects my mother's temporary peace on the cusp."

In this way, it really makes sense.

That kind of thing can only threaten the Queen Mother, but it is not enough to threaten the Queen Mother.

Xue Wan relied on that kind of thing to save her and Meng Jiao's lives, but in the end, she still became a victim of the alternation of imperial power.

"If it's as you say, the immediate priority is to get that thing."

"Yes, if you want to get that thing, you will inevitably have to investigate the Queen Mother... Brother Yun Xiao, the Shen family is loyal and patriotic, if you investigate the Queen Mother... Is it contrary to the Shen family's family motto? ”

Meng Jiao asked a little cautiously, and the remaining seven points were unbearable.

Shen Yunxiao was slightly stunned, and for a while, he hooked his lips and chuckled.

"Loyal and patriotic... My Shen family has always been loyal and patriotic, my father fought for half his life, kept the Great Yan River stable, but in the end he still died under the imperial power he was loyal to, the Shen family motto pays attention to loyalty, but does not tell future generations that they are foolish and loyal. ”

The Shen family is loyal and patriotic, but it will not distinguish between black and white.

If the death of General Shen and his wife is suspicious, if the case of Xue Guogong is not a conspiracy to commit rebellion, if the people sitting above the imperial power are not worthy of the position, the Shen family will not be foolish and loyal.

"That being the case, the top priority is to find out what that kind of thing is, what can threaten the Queen Mother, in addition to power, it is about reputation."

Fame... Shen Yunxiao lowered his eyebrows and thought about it, and suddenly remembered that in the past, when he was ordered to enter the palace, he had seen something with his own eyes in Feng'an Palace, where the Queen Mother lived at the time.
