Empress Dowager Zhao had just slept for a while, and she was disturbed by someone, and her face was very displeased.

"What's wrong?" Empress Dowager Zhao said unhappily.

Wan Lu said: "Queen Mother, Ning Guangming is here, saying that there is something important to talk to the Queen Mother in person." ”

Empress Dowager Zhao also realized something, called Ning Guangming in front of her, and said, "What's the matter?" ”

Ning Guangming first made a gesture to the Empress Dowager Zhao, and then said: "Empress Dowager Qi, the emperor put Prince Rui in the prison, and said that he wanted to ......."

Ning Guangming made a movement to wipe his neck, and then said: "The emperor said that Prince Rui intends to assassinate the emperor!" ”

"Huh?" Everyone in the room exclaimed.

Empress Dowager Zhao shouted: "Nonsense! How could King Rui assassinate the emperor? ”

Ning Guangming said: "Empress Dowager Qiqi, the slave heard the emperor say this with his own ears!" Previously, Prince Rui was talking to the emperor in the palace, but for some reason, the emperor asked the Praetorian Guards to escort Prince Rui away. The slave was afraid that the emperor would be impulsive, and he didn't dare to persuade the emperor, so he had to hurry over and report the matter to the queen mother. ”

When Empress Dowager Zhao heard this, she was anxious, and quickly asked Qinglian to change her clothes and prepare a sedan chair, and then went to the imperial study.

When he came to the imperial study, the little eunuch guarding the door of the palace said that Xiao Yuhong was dealing with important matters, and no one was seen.

Empress Dowager Zhao was angry and said, "Is the mourning family anyone?" ”

After speaking, Empress Dowager Zhao pushed open the door of the palace and walked in.

The little eunuch guarding the door of the temple didn't dare to stop him anymore, but lowered his head.

Qinglian, Wan Lu and the others did not go in, but only ordered the little eunuch guarding the door to close the door.

Xiao Yuhong was reviewing the recital, and he had already heard the movement outside. Seeing that Empress Dowager Zhao was coming, Xiao Yuhong hurriedly got up to take over.

"Erchen has seen the queen mother!"

Empress Dowager Zhao asked, "Emperor, why did you put Lin'er in prison?" ”

Xiao Yuhong said: "Queen Mother, Fang Cai came to find Erchen at the age of seventeen, and was very disrespectful to the son, so the son-in-law put Seventeen in the prison and punished him. ”

"Is that all?"

"That's it."

"No other selfishness?"

"I don't know, what does the queen mother mean by this?"

"Lin'er went to Ningshou Palace before and had already told the mourning family about it. Presumably, he told you about this before you were so angry, right? ”

Xiao Yuhong thought to himself, sure enough!

However, Xiao Yuhong said lightly: "Queen Mother, this matter, the sons have their own plans, so don't ask about it anymore." ”

Empress Dowager Zhao said sharply: "Careful? How to care? Did you kill Lin'er? ”

"This ...... The retainers should be interrogated clearly before making a decision. ”

"You ......"

"The queen mother, in the past, the queen mother spoke for Seventeen, and the sons and daughters endured it. But this is the only thing that the sons can't bear! Queen Mother, this matter is very important, it is related to the livelihood of the family, the country and the people, and the sons and daughters need to be cautious! The queen mother has always loved seventeen, and the sons are afraid that the queen mother will be biased in handling this matter. ”

"He's your own brother!"

"Queen mother, for the sake of the family and the country, my younger brother can also give up."

"You ......"

Empress Dowager Zhao pointed at Xiao Yuhong, but she didn't come up in one breath, but as soon as she rolled her eyes, she fell backwards.

"Queen Mother!"

Zhao Laixiang exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly stepped forward to catch the Empress Dowager Zhao.

Xiao Yuhong looked at the Empress Dowager Zhao coldly, and then said: "The Empress Dowager is unwell, so she quickly ordered someone to send the Empress Dowager back to Ningshou Palace to rest." ”

"Yes! Come! ”

The door of the hall opened, and Qinglian, Wan Lu and others walked in. When they saw Empress Dowager Zhao fainting, everyone was shocked.

Zhao Laixiang instructed Qinglian a few more words and asked them to send Empress Dowager Zhao back to Ningshou Palace.

Qinglian ordered someone to pass on the imperial doctor.

After the imperial doctor showed the Empress Dowager Zhao, he only said that the Empress Dowager Zhao was fine, as long as she meditated and recuperated.

When Empress Dowager Zhao woke up, it was as if she had aged ten years in an instant, and she could no longer see any black silk on her head.

"This time, I'm afraid that the emperor wants to kill him." Empress Dowager Zhao said weakly.

Qinglian comforted: "Queen Mother, no matter what you say, Prince Rui is also a prince, the emperor's younger brother, the emperor is not like this, right?" I think the emperor is angry now, that's why I said this! ”

Empress Dowager Zhao said: "The emperor's thoughts, the mourning family knows. The emperor wanted to move King Rui's mind, and he had it for a long time. It's just that now that King Rui has proposed this matter, he has threatened the emperor, and the emperor wants to do it in advance. Now, the emperor doesn't even look at the feelings of the mourning family. Hey......"

Qinglian said: "Don't worry about the Queen Mother, let's take a look first!" Prince Rui didn't make a mistake, just because the emperor wanted to assassinate, it wouldn't be able to convince the public. ”

"He'll find the beginning. Ay...... If Lin'er is gone, what will the mourning family still do in this world? Watching his own brother who killed him every day, the mourning family also has pain in their hearts. Xu was sorry for the first emperor of the mourning family back then, and now the first emperor has come to take revenge on the mourning family. However, Lin'er is also the favorite prince of the first emperor! Why didn't he even let Lin'er go? ”

After speaking, Empress Dowager Zhao whimpered again.

Qinglian hurriedly said: "I'm afraid the Queen Mother is having a nightmare, right?" The queen mother should rest first, and the slave maid will ask someone to inquire about the matter of Lord Rui. ”

Empress Dowager Zhao muttered to herself again, and she didn't know what she was muttering, and she shed tears as she spoke.

Qinglian had no choice but to send everyone else out, so as not to be heard by others who shouldn't hear something.

King Rui's Mansion also received the news that Xiao Yulin was imprisoned in the prison, and there was chaos in the mansion.

At this time, Zhong Yuqi had to come forward to stabilize the situation, only saying that Empress Dowager Zhao summoned Xiao Yulin into the palace to speak, and the Ruiwang Mansion had a short period of peace.

In the evening, Xiao Yulin did not return to the house, and the Ruiwang Mansion became a little uncalm.

Zhong Yuqi knew that any excuse at this time was not enough to convince the public, so he simply didn't bother to explain. only asked someone to release the word, saying that he had heard the news in the palace, and it was because Xiao Yulin was disrespectful to Xiao Yuhong, so he was locked up in the prison by Xiao Yuhong as a punishment.

The reason given by the palace was also that Xiao Yulin was disrespectful to Xiao Yuhong, so the Rui Wangfu gradually calmed down and didn't take this matter seriously. After all, Xiao Yulin often causes trouble, and it is not surprising that Xiao Yuhong will lose his temper.

After a few more days, Xiao Yulin was still not released.

Empress Dowager Zhao has fallen ill since that day, lying in bed all day sighing, people look at the spirit is getting worse and worse, and it seems that time is running out.

Perhaps, Xiao Yuhong is also waiting, waiting for Empress Dowager Zhao to return to heaven, and then attack Xiao Yulin.

Xiao Yuhong will naturally go to Ningshou Palace to visit the Empress Dowager Zhao, and the Empress Dowager Zhao will also mention Xiao Yulin's matter to Xiao Yuhong, and Xiao Yuhong will only deal with it.

When Xiao Yuhong went to Yingyue Palace, he also asked Wu Yue'er what he meant.

Wu Yue'er only said that she didn't understand the affairs of the court, so it was inconvenient to express her opinion. However, Wu Yue'er also mentioned to Xiao Yuhong that if there was no reason to serve the public, Xiao Yuhong would not be able to kill Xiao Yulin.
