Chapter 168: Revisiting the Old Things, Wrong and Wrong
The Empress Dowager didn't look at the pothos who had just inquired about the news from outside and came back to her, but only looked at the dankou that the palace maid was smearing for herself, and asked softly, "What kind of music did you play?"
"Back to the Empress Dowager, the slave doesn't know much about the tune, and the people who understand the tune say that Miss Ruqing played a total of two tunes, one "Sijun" and one "Sauvignon Blanc", but there is no one next to it."
Pothos replied respectfully.
The Empress Dowager looked at the little palace maid and was a little dissatisfied with the tricks on her nails, and said a few more words, then she looked up and said to the green pothos: "What about thirteen?" Was there anything unusual about him when he left the palace? ”
"Miss Ruqing doesn't want to open the palace door with the prince to talk, she only wants to play the piano with the prince to express her feelings, and the slave and maid look at it, and the prince doesn't seem to be very happy." Pothos told the truth about what she saw.
At this time, the palace maid who was on the Dankou for the Empress Dowager stopped and stepped aside.
The Empress Dowager raised her hand covered with dankou and looked at it, suddenly displeased.
"In the end, it's old, there is only a handful of bones left, this vermilion dankou is really eye-catching, let the mourning family unload!"
The people in the palace didn't dare to say much, and hurriedly stepped forward to unload the dankou for the empress dowager.
"The mourning family doesn't know whether to call her stupid or infatuated, and before she has said anything to Thirteen, she is afraid that he will be sad, and she wants to find out by herself, which is really beyond her own strength!"
The pothos was a little confused when she heard this.
"Miss Ruqing didn't say it, no...... Is it a good thing? ”
"It's a good thing, the mourning family just sighed." The Empress Dowager didn't care, and asked again, "What's going on with the Queen?" ”
"I'm so happy, the slave heard that the mother is good." Pothos laughed.
The Empress Dowager's color changed, and she seemed to be a little ugly, and finally only asked: "Are there more people dyed in the courtyard of Fengyi Palace?" ”
The green pothos is accustomed to observing words and feelings, and immediately smiled, and said: "The slave maid heard that the imperial doctors have done a good job of prevention and treatment, and there are only three people who have been infected, and the maid of the palace has already died of illness, and there is also a imperial doctor and an inner servant who are infected, and they don't know whether they are dead or alive, so they are cured." ”
The Empress Dowager narrowed her eyes slightly: "Then there is more to wait." For the country and the family, the queen, as the mother of a country, should not retreat, not to mention that if she gets better this time, she will not be harmed again, and stay in Fengyi Palace for a few more days, and then open the palace door of Fengyi Palace when she sees that her condition is almost gone. ”
Luluo was secretly frightened, but she didn't expect the Queen Mother to say such words, which meant that the queen could be abandoned at any time.
She was flustered, but her face was not obvious, and she bowed her head in response.
Yan Huai sat expressionlessly on the carriage back to the palace, and gently stroked Feng Wuqin in his arms with his hand.
That night, he dreamed of his mother, whom he had not dreamed of for a long time, and in her dream she held the little one and coaxed him, stroked the piano for him, and sang songs with him, and then she was covered in blood, crying and complaining about the injustice of her death, accusing him of recognizing the thief as her mother.
He woke up suddenly, but it was pitch black in front of him, the sky had not yet dawned, and his already bad eyes could not see the slightest thing.
He exhaled a few deep breaths and leaned back against the rails of the bed.
Eighteen years have passed, and it has been eighteen years since his mother's death, and her voice and smile have been blurred in his mind, but he will always remember how warm his mother's arms are, and their family of three sitting and eating under the pear tree in Yongning Palace, it is so warm, that is what a family looks like.
But they all forgot, how can the royal family be like ordinary people? After all, they are not just a family of three.
His mother is kind and gentle, and she always wants him not to fight or rob, and when he grows up, he will be an idle prince, but what about later?
Kindness is exchanged for knives.
That knife went straight into his mother's arms, and now it was going to stab him in the heart, what a good calculation!
He couldn't help laughing, louder and louder, and then he snapped it away, and there was no sound, there was silence, only he clearly understood, and his face was inexplicably a little wet.
He is not a person who listens and believes, let alone a person who can mess with himself, but with Luo Qing's guidance, he suddenly figured out many joints that he couldn't figure out.
The Empress Dowager's connivance with him, her harshness to the emperor, and the cup of poisoned wine that the emperor brought to his mouth when he had dinner with him, the emperor's reaction really did not seem to be informed, and then she suddenly took the reason that it was not appropriate for the man and woman to meet before they became married.
Qingqing is a cautious person, and this is not a trivial matter, she feels sorry for herself, if it weren't for the fact that this matter is nine out of ten, she will definitely not inform herself.
He's stupid, he's stupid!
Yan Huai sat up straight at dawn, and when Liuxi knocked on the door to serve him and dress, he had already collected his emotions.
One night, enough, enough for him to make a decision.
Growing so big, there are very few things that can make him sit all night.
"Liuxi, yesterday the king dreamed of his mother's concubine."
Liuxi paused Yan Huai's hand to pick up his shirt, and his heart was also heavy.
"I don't know what the mother said to the prince." Just go and listen to the book
"The mother concubine dreamed with the king, saying that she died unjustly, saying that the king hadn't been to see her for a long time, and accusing the king of being unfilial."
Yan Huai'er's momentum today was particularly fierce, which made Liuxi, who was used to serving him, a little frightened, and the actions of helping him to straighten his clothes became more and more careful.
"Niangniang is a gentle person, understanding that the prince is busy with official business, and she has returned to Niangniang's hometown before, so she will definitely not blame the prince."
Yan Huai was noncommittal to Liuxi's words, and asked instead: "This king remembers that it was people from the Wanjia family who treated his mother and concubine?" ”
Liuxi didn't know why Yanhuai suddenly mentioned this matter, and replied: "Back to the prince, it was the late Wanyuan envoy who diagnosed and treated Niangniang......
I didn't say the rest of the words, but I knew it all by heart.
"Looks like this king is not mistaken."
Yan Huai said thoughtfully.
"The prince has been very smart since he was a child, and he is not mistaken."
Liuxi tidied up Yan Huai's clothes, and the people also prepared all the things that Yan Huai would use in the morning, and he hurriedly turned around and wrung a wet handkerchief for Yan Huai.
Yan Huai took it, covered his face and didn't move for a long time, his mind became clearer and clearer.
Everything is strung together.
Qingqing should have learned some clues from the Queen Mother, and then confirmed it in the judgment of the Wan Yuan, to say that there is conclusive evidence? Not really.
Now Qingqing hurriedly told herself not only to warn herself, but also to be afraid that she would not be able to get out of this palace by herself.
He took the handkerchief away from his face, wiped his fingers carefully, and then handed the handkerchief to Liuxi, then rinsed his mouth, ordered someone to summon Chang Geng, and went to the study.
Do you want to investigate the matter of his mother's concubine? You have to check, you have to check quietly.
Since the Queen Mother knew something, she might not have been involved at the time, at least she was an insider, but for her own interests, she didn't say anything, so he watched them eat dog.
If the Empress Dowager has nothing to do with this matter, then she will definitely not make a move, and if it is, then he doesn't have to keep his hand!
Thinking of this, his hand holding the folding fan tightened and tightened.
He couldn't have imagined that such a virtuous and gentle person was actually a vicious person, and even his father, who had always been wise, was deceived by her, and often let his mother and concubine walk around with her more!
He couldn't help but wonder, why did she leave her life in the first place? In order to take advantage of yourself today? Then she is too far-sighted! He really admired it!
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, it should be Chang Geng.
Yan Huai cleared his throat: "Come in." ”
Chang Geng entered the room and reflexively closed the door of the study before taking a few steps forward and giving a fist salute to Yan Huai: "Subordinates participate in the prince." ”
Yan Huai took a sip of tea: "No courtesy." The king has called you today to do something. ”
Chang Geng hugged his fists again: "Please give the prince's orders." ”
"Let people mention in front of the Duchess of Dingguo that my mother was killed back then, and I specifically want to mention that it was the Wan family who treated my mother and concubine at the beginning." Yan Huai paused and raised his eyes, "Understood?" ”
Chang Geng was stunned, and he didn't know why Yan Huai mentioned this old incident many years ago, but he was used to trusting Yan Huai, and he was only stunned for a moment before he responded to the matter.
Yan Huai could have directly let out the wind, saying that Wanjia hid the truth about his mother's poisoning back then, whether it was true or not, the person who did this would definitely be weak-hearted, and the people who intervened in it back then would have taken action against Wanjia, but his Qingqing was still in the palace, and he couldn't take a risk.
If he really spread the word like this, it would inevitably make the Empress Dowager vigilant, she might feel that it was someone from the Empress Dowager's side who did it, but in order to avoid her dissenting intentions when she heard this, she was bound to take Qingqing and threaten herself.
He couldn't put Qingqing in danger anymore.
There is also Wan Jia, he is not a soft-hearted person, but Wan Yuan judged that he could reveal one or two things to Qingqing must be what Qingqing promised him, not to mention that Qingqing is also close to Wan Jia, he cares about her, in the end, he did not directly push Wan Jia to the cusp, otherwise it will be the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother who are staring at Wan Jia.
After so many years, he is not a young man who is self-willed, and he understands many things, if there are people in the family who have been stained with the blood of her mother's concubine, then he will have revenge for injustice, and if he doesn't, he won't easily move them.
He no longer has a home, he doesn't want to hurt himself from Qingqing because of these little things, but he is afraid that his second home will be full of sores at that time, which is not what he wants to see.
There is a debtor and a debtor, he will not kill by mistake, but he will never let one go!
Yan Huai had placed people in several important mansions that were about to move when he left Beijing five years ago, and the Dingguo Mansion was no exception, and Chang Gung quickly contacted the people they hid in the Dingguo Gong, but one day the Duchess of Dingguo hurriedly entered the palace to find the Queen Mother.
The two didn't say anything for a long time, and the Duchess of Dingguo hurriedly said goodbye, and the next day she summoned the Lord of Evergreen County back on the grounds of missing her daughter, and the strange thing is that she said that she missed her daughter, but she also only left the Lord of Evergreen to send people back with a meal, which is not like the style of the Duchess of Dingguo.
This series of actions will not be noticed by others, but people who have ghosts in their hearts and are accustomed to thinking a little more about things can feel that it is unusual.
