On the day when the emperor announced the execution of the Yong'an Wang couple, the queen mother was still sitting calmly in the Cining Palace.

The old man was sitting at the gold-encrusted mahogany table drinking tea, and every deep wrinkle on her face seemed to have an abrasive past, and on the table in front of her, there was a rosewood box.

The Queen Mother calmly held the tea bowl, carefully fiddling with the tea leaves in the tea bowl with the bowl, looking at the sky from time to time, and sending a sip of tea to her mouth from time to time.

Regarding Zhao Ziyi's matter, she never went to the emperor.

Suddenly, there was a noise outside the door, and the sound of the eunuch and palace maid kneeling was heard, and the queen mother knew that the person she was waiting for had finally arrived.

The emperor, who is also her son, has come to greet her! To be exact, he should have come to give her an explanation.

Because the emperor wants to kill her grandson, he will come to give her, the queen mother, an explanation, no matter what, so she will never go to the emperor.

If the Queen Mother took the initiative to go to the emperor to intercede with Zhao Ziyi, then she would have fallen behind, if the emperor came to explain to her, then the situation would be different, so the Queen Mother would always be as stable as Mount Tai!

However, the emperor came to her only after the decree was announced to the world, and made it clear that he would not give her any room to turn around.

But after all, she is the queen mother, as long as Zhao Ziyi is not dead, she is sure that she has the ability to turn the tide.

The emperor bowed respectfully to the Queen Mother: "The sons and daughters greet the Queen Mother!" ”

The Queen Mother returned without being salty: "Well! The emperor has been busy with affairs recently, and he still has time to go to Cining Palace to say goodbye to the mourning family, and the emperor has a heart! ”

"How is the Queen Mother doing lately?" The emperor asked politely.

In fact, he was also a little puzzled in his heart, why did the Queen Mother ignore Zhao Ziyi's matter at all, such a calm attitude made him a little panicked.

The emperor was afraid that there would be another change, so he would cut it first and then play it, and after announcing it to the world, he came to explain to the queen mother, and I believe that the queen mother would not let him go back on his word in front of the world.

The Queen Mother asked rhetorically: "Does the emperor think the mourning family is doing well recently?" ”

When the Queen Mother said this, the emperor looked a little embarrassed, how shrewd the Queen Mother was, these words directly made him get straight to the point.

So the emperor didn't plan to beat around the bush: "The queen mother is uncomfortable? Isn't it for Yuqing's business? Erchen came over today, and he wanted to talk to the Queen Mother about this matter, and Dali Temple has found out ......"

Before the emperor could finish speaking, the Queen Mother directly raised her hand to stop his words.

"No matter what Dali Temple the mourning family is, no matter what the reason, you can't kill Yuqing!"

The corners of the emperor's mouth twitched, he didn't expect that the Queen Mother, who had always taken care of the overall situation, would hedge with him in such a high-profile manner.

"Queen Mother, Zhao Yuqing has committed a capital crime, if you don't give the people an explanation. In the future, my world will be chaotic! ”

The Queen Mother is still so salty: "Emperor, you want to kill now, but the grandson of the mourning family, shouldn't you give an explanation to the mourning family first?" ”

The emperor replied: "Let's not talk about Zhao Yuqing bullying the king, he went to be a thief in the rivers and lakes, disturbed the peace, and deserved to be punished for the crime, isn't this an explanation?" ”

The Queen Mother took a sip of tea indifferently, pointed to the rosewood box on the table and said, "The emperor should first take a look at the contents of the box, and then consider what kind of explanation he will give to the mourning family!" ”

The emperor was choked by the Queen Mother's words, held his breath, and casually opened the lid of the rosewood box.

There were three things inside, a piece of silk paper, a small porcelain vase, and a small gold plaque the size of a palm.
