Chapter 205: The Empress Dowager is grounded
It seems that you know what kind of incense this fragrance is, I haven't returned to Your Majesty yet, this fragrance is rare, it is a spice paid tribute to the Western Regions, and now it is only available in the Empress Dowager and Concubine De's palace. ”
Zeng Xiangyun's face remained unchanged, and he lightly picked out the mistakes and omissions in Su Su's words.
She was a polite and courteous palace concubine in the end, and after saying this, she bowed to the Queen Mother.
"The Empress Dowager, the concubine has no intention of offending."
No matter how old and confused the Queen Mother is, she knows what it means to bring out this today, this is a trap for her, but what's the matter with the queen's poisoning? They did it too?
Thirteen is afraid that he knows about Concubine Chen back then, and in order to retaliate against her, Thirteen is really ruthless, and the means of rectifying the court back then are really the same as neat.
Even Zeng Xiangyun is from their side.
What about the emperor? How much does the emperor know? What is the emperor going to do again? She could feel that the emperor had been trying to get out of her control all these years, but he hadn't forgotten that conspiring with Yan Huai was undoubtedly conspiring with the tiger.
What's more, although the emperor couldn't be sure that there was poison she gave to Yan Huai, he also guessed it, but he still served him the cup of poisonous wine.
"What? It is actually this fragrance, if this spice flows out of the mourning palace, the mourning family will be guilty of a great sin, that is, the mourning family is not well guarded. ”
The Empress Dowager is worthy of being a character who has been in the harem for many years with the name of a virtuous lady, and she can still pretend to be innocent and virtuous at this time.
"Your Majesty, the minister has no intention of offending, but the insider can't be harmed by someone for nothing."
Yan Huai also made his position clear, and he would never give up until the murderer was found.
The Empress Dowager simply cried secretly, saying that she had been wronged.
"What a killer, what spices, I'm afraid it's all the queen mother's thief who wronged the mourning family, and the mourning family remembers that the queen mother also has that spice."
The Empress Dowager has made up her mind, and now she is not admitting it, she is the Empress Dowager anyway, although the old ministers in the court have changed a bit, but she still has the power of her mother's family, and some of the old ministers are still there, and when the time comes, they still dare not touch her.
"What's it, can't you find it when you search for it?" Yan Huaifeng answered lightly.
"Bold!" The emperor was happy in his heart, but his face was full of majesty, "The palace of the Empress Dowager, how can you say that you can search it, Prince Yi, don't forget that she is the Empress Dowager of my dynasty." ”
"The Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, shouldn't the emperor lead by example?" Yan Huai didn't let go, "Not only the Empress Dowager, but also Concubine De's palace has to be searched!" ”
The emperor's face was so angry that his face turned pale, but the empress dowager knew that she couldn't escape this situation, and she might not know what ironclad evidence was hidden in her palace.
As long as a copy of the poison in the queen and Luo Qing is found in Concubine De, even if it can be found in her palace, the emperor can only choose to discard Concubine De in order to calm things and save royal face.
She gave Mama Wang a look, Mama Wang understood, and was about to quietly retreat and do the matter, but she didn't want to be shouted by Shu Yige.
"What are you going to do?"
Mama Wang immediately retracted her half-step foot, and replied respectfully, "The Empress Dowager is a little cold, the slave maid go and get a soup woman for the Empress Dowager." ”
The Empress Dowager pretended to be angry and said, "What? The mourning family has become prisoners? ”
The emperor glanced at Shu Yige, and Shu Yige hurriedly said, "The concubine doesn't dare, the concubine is just worried about the queen mother, and now the situation is complicated, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings." ”
The fire in the Empress Dowager's heart was getting stronger and stronger, but she couldn't have a seizure, so she had to swallow this breath.
"Shu Zhaoyi is worthy of being born in a scholarly family, and she is so steady and thoughtful in her words and actions."
She finished it word for word.
Shu Yige is not a fool, and she can see it, Yan Huai is going to tear her face with the Queen Mother, she is on Luo Qing's side anyway, and now that Luo Qing has been killed, she is not willing to let go of those who hurt her.
"The Empress Dowager praised it falsely, and she didn't understand a lot of things with songs."
"Your Majesty, please send someone to verify." Yan Huai rehashed the old words.
The emperor glanced at the Empress Dowager in embarrassment, and sighed, "Go ahead and search the Changle Palace and the palace where Concubine De lives together." ”
This is undoubtedly a shame for the people of the royal family, Tete has reached the age of the empress dowager, but she can't say anything, in the eyes of outsiders, her temperament should be considerate of others, she can only endure it.
If it's a big deal, you will tear your face.
For a while, the room was very quiet, and Luo Qing woke up at this time.
"Feeling better?" Yan Huai asked softly.
Luo Qing nodded, "I'm ...... Poisoned? ”
"Did you realize it yourself?" Yan Huai straightened out the quilt for Luo Qing.
Luo Qing nodded, "I felt that something was wrong with my body before, and I was really ashamed to study medicine for so long." ”
At this time, the people sent by the emperor to search the two palaces returned, and several poisons were found in the palace of the Empress Dowager.
There is the powder of blood drops and tear leaves, there is the poison in Luo Qing and Concubine Chen, and there are ......
- Senseless!
"Queen Mother, the poison in your palace is really complete, you can't be learning detoxification, right?" Yan Huai laughed sarcastically.
"This is a deliberate frame-up!" The Empress Dowager is planning to bite to death and refrain from admitting it.
"Then whoever testifies to it, can you say that it is framed? Who framed you? I? Yan Huai's face turned cold, "It's ridiculous!" ”
Then, he faced the emperor and bowed slightly, "Your Majesty, please be clear, for the ministers, for the insiders, and be fair!" And the Queen's Mother. ”
"Thirteen, the mourning family asks themselves if they treat you well? Why are you like this? This is clearly the discord of the anti-thief envoys of the Dingguo Gong faction! ”
The Empress Dowager now looks like an old mother who was heartbroken by her son.
"The queen is the emperor's wife, or the niece and granddaughter of the mourning family, Ruqing is your wife again, how can the mourning family ......?"
"Really? Senseless poison too? Erchen was blind at the beginning, wasn't it because of this poison, why? If the queen mother wants to say that it is for her son, she will take the poison to study it well so that she can cure her son's eyes? ”
Yan Huai's words were full of sarcasm.
"I know it, stop acting, and my mother, is her death also due to you? How many people have you harmed? ”
As he spoke, his eyes turned scarlet, and his hands were clenched into fists, which was a rare emotional exposure.
"What do you say? If the mourning family really poisoned them, why don't they throw away these poisons and let you find them? ”
The Empress Dowager is a cautious and serious person, not to mention that she framed the Changning Princess's Mansion like this, so every ten days in the name of cleaning up the Changle Palace, she will let people search the Changle Palace inside and out, so as not to be put into her own house without knowing anything, and she only searched it two days ago, and now these poisons are afraid that they will be released in these two days.
It's really a trick for myself today.
"Thirteen, why do you grieve your family's heart like this? You grew up beside the mourning family, you ...... like this"
"It's clear that someone else framed it...... I'm afraid that the people of Dingguogong's faction can't mourn their families, so the queen mother ...... Isn't the queen mother also in the palace, I don't know how many people have been placed around the mourning family......"
Luo Qing thought, if you don't say that the Empress Dowager is powerful, she can still blame others for all the faults at this time, but she is not a vegetarian, and if she doesn't have to, she will let others pour dirty water on her brother.
She immediately began to cry as well.
"Your Majesty, Ruqing is not from a high background, Ruqing just wants to do her duty for the rest of her life, and be the wife of the prince, Ruqing never thought that she would suffer such a catastrophe."
It's not that she can't pretend to be weak and miserable, but she just disdains it, and now that the Queen Mother wants to come with her, she won't hesitate to accompany her.
"Your Majesty, Ruqing is blessed and is fortunate to have the mercy of the prince, but when he returns to the prince, he drags the prince down like this, and Ruqing wants to do his part, and he will not ...... Ruqing treated the queen's mother for smallpox, and volunteered to stay in Huguo Temple to treat the queen's mother's injuries, but she still couldn't escape ......"
"And now all this is because of Ruqing, not as good as ......"
Luo Qing was about to get up as she spoke, but Yan Huaixu stopped her, and then she knelt on the ground and begged the emperor.
"Your Majesty, Ruqing is embarrassed, Ruqing is willing to kneel under the Dengwen drum and ask for guilt!"
This Dengwen drum will only be sounded when there is a grievance, and only one person has sounded this Dengwen drum during the reign of the emperor, and how many major and important cases have been involved at that time, and I don't know how many officials have been disposed of.
In the past few years of his reign, no one has ever sounded the Dengwen drum, but if someone beats the Dengwen drum, it will inevitably cause a shock in the court, and many officials will impeach.
To put it bluntly, this is an unjust case, and when the time comes, it will inevitably cause panic, not to mention that Yanhuai's reputation among the people is still there.
Since Luo Qing is here, Yan Huai is here.
"Your Majesty, this Dingguo Duke has been arrested, and he is still on his way back to Beijing, or is it the Empress Dowager, you have tried your best to invite me back, are you trying to waste your efforts? Dingguo Gong has not been in vain in the court for so many years, you can see if he has the possibility of making a comeback. ”
Yan Huai hooked his lips and smiled, and he looked free and uninhibited.
"I'd be interested in seeing it."
"You ......"
Luo Qing peeked at the Empress Dowager, and saw that the disguise on her face was pierced by Yan Huai in an instant, she glared at Yan Huai fiercely, and there was bitter hatred in her eyes, but she was worthy of being the Empress Dowager, and she covered up these hatreds in just a moment.
"Your Majesty, the mourning family is old, the mourning family knows that they have lost their virtues, and they have failed to assist the queen in managing this harem, the mourning family is guilty, and they ask to be grounded in Changle Palace, and never step out of the palace gate of Changle Palace again."
This is where the Empress Dowager is powerful, she took a step back and lost something, but she saved herself, as long as she saved herself, there will always be a comeback one day.
