Chapter 99: The Past
"I didn't have time to use the fireworks, Lord Shen and the others had already subdued the thief, don't worry, Feiyu, haven't I come back safely."
"Well, what are we going to do next?"
Xie Shiyun felt the water cold, got up and wiped her body, and walked to the dresser with her long dripping hair, "If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move, I can't move her without her or Xie Yuan's handle for the time being." ”
Xie Shiyun calmly analyzed the current situation, there was no evidence that Concubine Shu sent someone to assassinate her, even if she kept the killer at the beginning, there was no token that could identify Concubine Shu.
She is not in a hurry to deal with Concubine Shu now, she needs to expand her power as much as possible, and unite multiple family officials to help her at the beginning of the final battle for the heir.
"Xie Yuan has a cunning and suspicious personality, and he will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals, but he really has nothing wrong with impeachment now."
"And I only have the Zheng family to rely on, the strength of the Zheng family has no chance of winning compared to the Zhou family, once we fail, it will be a catastrophe."
Sixi didn't understand why Xie Shiyun had to fight Xie Yuan, in her opinion, the odds of winning this matter were very small. But she also heard what she said at the Zheng family. Xie Yuan ascended the throne, and their Zheng family would not end well.
Rather than sit still, Xie Shiyun is more willing to fight hard, but can the people of Da Chen really accept this empress of the ages?
"It's the Qixi Festival in a few days, what are your Royal Highness's plans?"
"The Qixi Festival is coming so soon?"
Xie Shiyun only thought about disaster relief on this walk, and she couldn't remember what day it was. Now that I think about it, it's really almost Tanabata, and after Tanabata, it's not far from autumn. She's been reborn for nearly half a year, but she hasn't made much progress. There is still more than half a year before the death of Emperor Anhe, and after the Spring Festival next year, Emperor Anhe will pass away and Xie Yuan will ascend the throne.
"I don't have any plans for Tanabata yet, let's talk about it then."
"How is my father's side recently, has Master Liu sent food over on time?"
"I didn't dare to slack off, now that the emperor has improved a lot, even the imperial doctor thinks it's incredible." Sixi didn't know why Emperor An He gradually recovered, and he also felt that God was unwilling to give up the monarch of Da Chen.
Most of the poison in Emperor Anhe's body has been resolved, and the Xiangsheng Gu is no longer fatal now. Xie Shiyun asked Sixi and Feiyu if they had found anyone who could still administer poison under the queen's nose. Fei Yu said that she had found out who it was, but did not know the identity of the master behind her.
"What's going on?"
"I found out that the people who were responsible for poisoning and Gu were indeed two, but they were both people with extremely high positions around the queen."
Xie Shiyun frowned tightly and her eyes were complicated, so it means that the person who poisoned her back had either arranged for someone in Fengyi Palace before, or else she had bought off the people around the queen.
"This person has a lot of ability, he can reach out to Fengyi Palace, and it takes a lot of effort and time to climb to this position, it's really a big game of chess."
However, there are too many tricky places for Xie Shiyun to find the most, because there are countless people in and outside the palace who want to deal with Emperor An He. When she learned about the previous dynasty, she was even more undecided, and Emperor Anhe's biggest enemy was the remnants of the prince of the dynasty who were dormant in the shadows.
"Go and call Mama Wu, I have something to ask her."
"Yes, Your Highness."
When Mama Wu came in, her legs and feet didn't look very convenient, Xie Shiyun hurriedly walked over and asked, "Mama Wu, what's wrong with you?" ”
"Your Highness, the old slave had a slippery road on a rainy day a few days ago, and he accidentally fell from the steps, so he didn't care."
"Mama Wu is getting older, so you have to pay more attention."
Xie Shiyun took Mama Wu's hand and was very distressed. Looking at Mama Wu carefully, she felt that Mama Wu had always been the same as in her memory, although she was a woman, she was stronger than a man, and she had always protected her well.
Now it seems that Mama Wu's temples have long been gray, although her body is tough, she can't withstand any bumps. Xie Shiyun lowered her eyes, everything she is doing now can't let Mama Wu participate too much, otherwise she won't be able to protect her once she is caught.
"Let Your Highness worry, I don't know what His Highness called me for?"
"Mama Wu, I want to ask you, which concubine in this palace is in the same vein as the Queen Mother at the beginning?"
Mama Wu pondered for a long time, and finally said, "No, the Queen Mother never pays attention to the emperor's affairs, and none of the concubines in this palace have had contact with the Queen Mother except the Queen Mother." ”
"Queen?"
"The queen mother and the princess are cousins, and the two used to be very good friends, so the queen occasionally walked to the queen mother's bedroom."
Mama Wu's words surprised Xie Shiyun very much, and the relationship between them was something she had never imagined. The prince of Chao and Emperor An He are brothers, and the princess and queen are cousins. I don't know if the queen knows the truth at the beginning, and how tormented she would be if she knew that her cousin was killed by her beloved husband.
"If the father does such a thing, doesn't he have to guard against the queen?"
"Naturally, it is on guard, otherwise His Royal Highness thinks that the emperor and the queen mother have become the current situation."
Xie Shiyun's eyes widened, she had indeed never thought about it in this direction. She thought that the queen was now separated from Emperor An He because the queen was unable to have children since she lost her children one after another, so she would be like this. And now it seems that Emperor An He is indeed ruthless, so much so that he suspects his wife and allows her to be oppressed by the concubine in the palace.
"Your Highness, the old slave will tell you something more."
"What?"
"The son of the queen's mother, the eldest prince Xie Sheng, died at the hands of the concubine."
Mama Wu's words shocked Xie Shiyun, along with the flying feather on the side. Fei Yu was originally not interested in these things, but murdering the imperial heir was a serious crime of the Zhulian Nine Clans. Xie Sheng is the eldest son of the rightful son, and this throne will not be the second son Xie Yuan.
"Mama Wu, do you have any evidence for this?"
"Concubine Niangniang did almost nothing to do this, but when she ordered someone to dispose of the scapegoat, she was letting the old slave bump into it."
Mama Wu looked serious and recalled, recalling that night that year, it was still a lingering nightmare in her life. Xie Sheng was still a nine-year-old child, and at that time, Concubine Shu had no children and behaved harmlessly, so she deceived everyone.
When Concubine Shu was Emperor Anhe or the prince, he was a good lady in the house. The power of the Zhou family is not as strong as it is now.
Concubine Shu has always adhered to her duties and has no intention of competing for favor, although the queen is a gentle and benign son, she is also a person with means. When she was in the Prince's Mansion, she also got rid of a few restless women, and if it weren't for the good disguise of Concubine Shu, she wouldn't be able to sit in this position now.
"It was winter."
