Chapter 685: If you knew today, why bother in the first place
Not long after Jiang Qiancheng returned to the imperial study, the guards who were originally guarding in front of Cining Palace hurriedly came over: "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager said that she wanted to see you." ”
Jiang Qiancheng was stunned, but it was strange, she had been under house arrest in Cining Palace for a while, and she had been quiet before, even the Queen Mother didn't say she wanted to see her, but now she suddenly wanted to see herself, could it be that she had to do something again?
"Grandpa Wen, do you think I should go to Cining Palace to see her?"
"This ...... If Your Majesty is willing to go, then go, if not, then you can naturally go, and no one can force you. ”
Jiang Qiancheng felt that what Father-in-law Wen said made sense, but the Empress Dowager had been under house arrest in Cining Palace for so long, and she had never seen it once, so she really should go and see it this time, lest she really want to make something to affect her marriage with Yue Qingming.
So Jiang Qiancheng said: "Arrange it, set up Cining Palace, I want to go over to see the Empress Dowager." ”
"Yes."
Cining Palace.
When Jiang Qiancheng really came, the expression on the Empress Dowager's face was a little surprised, she thought that Jiang Qiancheng had already forgotten about her old woman here, and he only had that Yue Qingming in his heart!
Therefore, when Jiang Qiancheng walked over, the Empress Dowager's face was very bad, and she couldn't believe that the dignified emperor would put herself under house arrest here because of a woman who was working against her grandmother!
"Jiang Qiancheng, do you know that what you are doing now is no different from those faint monarchs who died in the country before!"
Jiang Qiancheng said in a light tone: "Is the imperial grandmother calling me here just to say such things to me?" ”
The Empress Dowager frowned, and her face was a little uglier than just now: "It seems that you still haven't reflected on what you've done until now, do you think you can put the mourning family under house arrest here for the rest of your life?" ”
"If the Imperial Grandmother didn't get in the way of my affairs, I naturally wouldn't have put you under house arrest here for the rest of my life, but if the Imperial Grandmother still insisted on ruining the good things of me and Yue Qingming, I don't mind letting you stay in Cining Palace for the rest of your life, or send you to another place to stay."
“…… Are you threatening the mourners? ”
"The Imperial Grandmother can also think so, after all, I have no feelings for the Imperial Grandmother, before I became the crown prince, the Imperial Grandmother never even looked directly at me, presumably I don't need to give the Imperial Grandmother any face, right?"
"You!"
"Isn't what I'm saying true?"
“……”
The Empress Dowager frowned, it was precisely because Jiang Qiancheng was telling the truth that she didn't know how to refute him now.
"By the way, if the imperial grandmother wants to make trouble while I am busy with my marriage and government affairs with Yue Qingming, I advise you, it's better not to do that, otherwise the price you have to pay will be worse than you imagined."
“…… The mourning family is under house arrest in Cining Palace by you, and you can't go anywhere, and there are usually people who monitor the mourning family's every move, where does the mourning family still have the ability to sabotage your affairs? ”
"That's for the best."
"Jiang Qiancheng! Do you really want to mourn the mourning family for the sake of a Yue Qingming? Is she so important in your heart? ”
Jiang Qiancheng smiled, his eyes were firm: "In this world, there is no more important person than her, the original emperor can't compare, and now you can't compare!" ”
“……”
When Jiang Qiancheng turned around to leave, he suddenly remembered something, and said: "By the way, I forgot to tell the imperial grandmother, your grandfather Hai outside the palace has been caught by me, but the person I invited was too quick to deal with him directly, and it should be impossible to see him again." ”
The Empress Dowager was stunned for a moment, and the whole person instantly stiffened, it was Gonggong Hai! He was actually eliminated by Jiang Qiancheng's people like this!
Looking at the back of Jiang Qiancheng leaving without hesitation, the Empress Dowager was very remorseful in her heart, she is now "losing her wife and breaking her soldiers", not only did she not get any benefits, but she put her original position in the palace into it, is it true that she will be locked up in this Cining Palace for the rest of her life?
"Alas!"
She slapped the table and sighed deeply, but no matter how much she regretted it, it was difficult to change the things that had become facts, who would have thought that a mere Yue Qingming would have such a high status in Jiang Qiancheng's heart?
The grandmother who was waiting for her cautiously stepped forward and gently slapped her shoulder: "Don't be sad the Queen Mother, at least as long as you stay here with peace of mind, Your Majesty will not hurt you." ”
"The sad family doesn't like the feeling of being imprisoned as a prisoner!"
"But the Empress Dowager, that's better than dead."
“……”
Mama continued to persuade: "The Empress Dowager, although we can't leave Cining Palace, we don't have to worry about eating and drinking here, you can still get what you want, this is not a comfortable life." ”
"Comfortable?" The Empress Dowager sneered: "It's the first time that the mourning family has seen such a comfortable life, it's really ironic!" ”
“……”
Mama stood aside, not daring to say anything more.
The Empress Dowager closed her eyes and sighed again, if she knew that Jiang Qiancheng would get rid of the obstacles in front of her at any cost for Yue Qingming, she would not have chosen to be the enemy of Jiang Qiancheng at the beginning, and now in the entire palace, only a few subordinates in Cining Palace follow her, and the rest are all their people!
She shook her head and sighed: "The mourning family regrets it a little, I knew today, why bother in the first place!" Now I can't regret losing! ”
On the way back to the imperial study, Jiang Qiancheng explained: "Watch the Empress Dowager closely, if she stays in Cining Palace in peace, she will still be treated as the Empress Dowager, if she wants to make trouble in the palace, then there is no need to be soft on her." ”
Father-in-law Wen asked with some concern: "Your Majesty, after all, it is the Empress Dowager, your own grandmother, do you really want to be like this?" ”
"It is precisely because she is my grandmother that she can stay comfortably in Cining Palace now. Didn't you see what happened to Princess Qingjia in the same period? ”
“…… Yes, the old slave understood, so he sent someone to look at Cining Palace. ”
"Go ahead."
As soon as Jiang Qiancheng stepped into the door of the imperial study, Shan Wu hurriedly ran over: "Your Majesty, it's not good!" Princess Qingjia tried to kill herself in her cell, but although she was stopped by our people, she still struggled, as if she wanted to end her life immediately. ”
Jiang Qiancheng subconsciously frowned: "Will she kill herself?" ”
"It's true, if it weren't for the jailer who happened to pass by and saw it, maybe she would be a corpse by now!"
“……”
