Chapter 300: Watching the Fire from the Other Shore (3)
The queen didn't hesitate for long, and soon made a decision.
But to put it bluntly, if it is just up to the queen to make this decision alone, I am afraid it will indeed take a lot of time, but there is still a clear-headed Mama Li by the queen's side.
Although Mama Li did give the queen some wrong advice on some things before, from the position and perspective of the queen, Mama Li must still be the most trusted person by the queen.
Mama Li persuaded the queen like this, "After all, it's time for this time, and the mother discusses with him, which is actually a beneficial and harmless thing for the mother." ”
The queen just couldn't survive the breath in her heart, at her Qianqiu banquet, it was Cao Tingyue from the Dongchang who didn't give her face like this, telling her to lose people in front of so many people, so many clans are destined to lose people, if this hatred is not remembered for a lifetime, it is almost impossible to say that the queen is a person.
So she just thought, "What he said at this time is good, maybe he will do one thing in the light and one thing behind his back, who can really know what he thinks?" These eunuchs from Dongchang are afraid that they are all bad in their bones, and this palace does not believe them. ”
"It doesn't hurt for us." Mama Li reasoned, "For us, even if we want to cash it out to him in the future, we will wait until we get everything we want before we really consider whether to cash it out to him, right?" ”
The queen frowned, as if she had never thought of this.
Mama Li said again, "What we want, as Uncle Guo said, is the position of the prince of the East Palace, and His Royal Highness the Second Prince can ascend to the position of the prince, since this Cao Tingyue said that he has a way to help in this regard, then let's just see his performance?" If he didn't do anything about our Highness becoming the prince, it was very simple, this was originally what he didn't do, and we just tore up this contract. ”
The queen looked at her, "But what if he really did it?" Could it be that this palace really wants to forget all the things in the past regardless of the past suspicions? Is it really for him to get what he wants? ”
The queen meant that she didn't want to.
Mama Li smiled, "Niangniang is confused, it really comes to that time, His Royal Highness is His Royal Highness the Prince, a hundred years later, Niangniang will be the Queen Mother, as long as he finds a random reason, even if he drives this Cao Tingyue out of the palace, it is nothing, does he dare to say anything?" ”
The queen understands, the big deal is to cross the river and tear down the bridge, this kind of thing in this palace is not a big deal, it feels like everyone can do it, and their cooperation, the queen was originally unwilling, and even if Cao Tingyue wants to find someone to call the shots, it seems that he can't find it.
The queen was satisfied, and she nodded, "There is some truth to what you said. ”
Mama Li said, "It doesn't matter now, what matters is that, as Uncle Guo said, how can we seize this best opportunity, so that Your Majesty will directly dislike the eldest prince, so that he will never have a chance from now on, and our Second Prince, His Royal Highness, will take this opportunity to directly enter the East Palace." ”
The queen pursed her lips, "Your Majesty will hand him over to the Zongren Mansion, thinking about it, I am already very angry, but I am afraid that he has already been condemned in my heart." ”
"Isn't that better, this thing was originally done by him, and it can be regarded as self-inflicted."
The queen stood up, then walked around the room, and quickly made a decision, "This matter, Your Majesty asked Jing Zhaoyin and Cao Tingyue to investigate this matter, but it just said - check it slowly, it is estimated that Your Majesty has not yet figured out how to deal with the boss in his heart." ”
Mama Li nodded, "The eldest prince has been deeply favored by the emperor for many years, and he is the eldest son of His Majesty, it seems reasonable for His Majesty to be tolerant of him. ”
Mama Li just didn't understand, since this was the case, why did she put the eldest prince in prison in the first place? What happened in the Imperial Study, no one really knows.
Mama Li just guessed, but I was afraid that the eldest prince did say something "similar to confession", so that the emperor had to be angry at this time and send him to the Zongren Mansion.
The queen understood, and she felt that this was the case, so there was absolutely no way she could let this happen.
"It's just that someone is going to mention it." The queen sat down again, and then took a sip of tea, "We are bitter masters, if Your Majesty wants this matter to pass, it must be necessary for us bitter masters to feel that we can pass, you say, right?" ”
Although Mama Li didn't understand the logic of this, she felt that His Majesty had always only looked at his own mind when doing things, but he was afraid that he really wouldn't look at the meaning of the bitter master.
The queen said, "Therefore, this palace will go to your majesty in a while." ”
"The mother wants to ......"
"Since it has been determined that he is the eldest prince, then it is for His Majesty to make the decision to seek justice for the second prince of this palace or this palace. How to deal with the eldest prince, he is in charge of this matter, is it just a matter of being easily imprisoned in the Zongren Mansion? The queen sneered, "Even if he wants to help him, but there is no such good thing in this world, is this how my son is told to eat because of the loss?" ”
Mama Li always felt that there was something wrong with this matter, but she couldn't think of it for a while, "Niangniang might as well think about it again......"
"What else to consider? Even if the people of Dongchang are on our side, but there is no evidence and it is impossible to fabricate it out of thin air, and the people of Jingzhao Mansion have never been our people, if it is the people of the great prince's side, this matter is easy to change, this is a matter of early rather than later, if it is delayed, in case of a lifetime of accidents, it will not be good. ”
The more the queen thought about it, the more anxious she became, and the effort between her words was to stand up and go inside to change her clothes and go to the emperor's side.
Mama Li followed behind, "Don't worry, Niangniang. ”
"Hurry up, this palace is going to go to the imperial study at this time."
Mama Li couldn't tell what she felt was wrong, and she never stopped the queen, so she could only sigh and follow the queen to find clothes for her.
And the queen's side really went to the well as she thought for a long time.
But Uncle Guo had just come out of the palace and went directly to Cao Tingyu's mansion outside the palace.
Although not many people know about this mansion, everyone who should know will still know it.
It's just that this door is cold, and at a glance, I know that the people in this house are just afraid that they are not easy to get along with.
Uncle Guo's people knocked on the door, and then learned that they happened to be in the house at this time, isn't it a coincidence?
Cao Tingyue has always been busy with official business, and he is almost always in the palace during the day, but he is afraid that the emperor may summon him at any time.
Cao Tingyue is now the emperor who said that he asked him to come out to investigate the affairs of the eldest prince, naturally he often walks outside the palace, and he is a person from Dongchang, and these are his eyeliner in all directions, and the matter of this uncle who has just come out of the queen's palace and came out of the palace is the first time to reach his ears.
Therefore, it is not so much that Uncle Guo is lucky, but that Cao Tingyue is deliberately waiting for him here.
In fact, Uncle Guo went to the palace to tell the queen about this matter today, and he didn't have to ask for the queen's consent at all, because in the eyes of Uncle Guo, this matter is completely beneficial and harmless, and only a fool will refuse.
On the surface, he asked the queen to think about it slowly, but when he left the palace, he came directly to Cao Tingyu's side, because he knew very well that this matter could not be easily missed.
On the queen's side, if she really says that she doesn't agree or something, then she will do the ideological work carefully in the future.
And Cao Tingyu's side must not be missed.
He entered, and then saw that Cao Ting had healed, and even bowed his hand respectfully, not to mention anything else, this uncle has always been very good at this kind of kung fu.
Cao Tingyue raised his eyebrows, invited him to sit, and said, "At this time, how can Uncle Guo have time to come to the minion's place?" ”
Uncle Guo said, "The master is polite, this official has just gone out of the palace, and he has gone to see the queen's mother, no, as soon as he left the palace, he came directly to the adult's side, originally wanted to try his luck, but he didn't expect the adult to be really in the house." ”
Cao Tingyue smiled, "The queen's jade body is Jin An?" He took a sip of tea, "I'm ashamed to say that I walk in front of the palace every day, and I always serve in the palace, but this Kunning Palace is rarely there, and I don't know if the mother will blame the slave for being slow." ”
"How could this be?" Uncle Guo hurriedly smiled, "The punishment is a busy man, His Majesty has always been the most important matter to the execution, and the punishment has no side effort to deal with others, it is also common sense, the mother knows it very well, how can she blame the punishment because of such a thing?"
Uncle Guo also took a sip of tea, he subconsciously raised his eyebrows, this top Pu'er, I am afraid that it is rare in the queen's palace, and it is even casually used to entertain guests in this Cao Tingyu's mansion, which shows how powerful this Dongchang is.
Uncle Guo put down the teacup, and directly got to the point, "Today's visit, I didn't want to disturb the executioner, but just about what I said before the execution, the lower official entered the palace today and discussed it carefully with the queen." ”
Cao Tingyue nodded, "I would like to hear about it." ”
