Chapter 13: Showdown

I couldn't help but make Emperor Yan Wen frown: "Why?" ”

"Your Majesty, you think, Prince Heng's status is noble, this matter is just a trivial matter, wouldn't it be wronged to let Prince Heng condescend to be so noble. Moreover, the Queen Mother has been unwell recently, if she can't see Prince Heng for a day, she will definitely be worried, and if she knows that the emperor asked Prince Heng to do such a trivial matter, I am afraid that the Queen Mother and her old people will not be happy. Concubine Yu said, looking very afraid of wronging Xiao Jingheng.

Immediately made Emperor Yan Wen hesitate.

Seeing that Concubine Yu was so obstructed, the queen finally opened her mouth: "The concubine thinks that this matter is none other than Jing Heng, Sister Hui said that this matter is a trivial matter, it is related to the royal face, it involves the Protector Mansion and the Dingbei Hou Mansion, and even the old Duke and Liang Guogong are involved, if it is still a trivial matter, then I really don't know what is a big deal." The Queen Mother has always been the most enlightened, and if she knows the stakes, she must be able to understand the emperor. It's just that Concubine Guifei is obstructing like this, but people have to think more, what is Concubine Qi afraid of? ”

Emperor Yan Wen's expression changed when he heard this, and he no longer gave Concubine Qi a chance to speak, and said coldly: "In this case, this matter will be handed over to Prince Heng, and this matter must be thoroughly investigated."

From today onwards, the Dingbei Hou couple and their daughter are not allowed to leave the Dingbei Hou Mansion, and the decision will be made after the matter is clarified. Since An Youning had happened so much in the Dingbei Hou Mansion, she naturally couldn't stay in the Dingbei Hou Mansion, and the Protector took her back to An Home for proper placement. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Jingheng respectfully accepted the order.

Mrs. Protector and Feng Yuanzheng also knelt on the ground in response.

But An Youning opened his mouth: "The courtiers have one more thing to ask the emperor forbidden." ”

Emperor Yan Wen heard a slight anger on his face, but looking at the queen's face, he still suppressed his anger: "What else is the matter?" ”

"I implore the emperor to allow the courtiers to bring back the relics left by my father and mother back to the An family, including my mother's dowry and the things that the emperor rewarded my father."

Hearing this, Emperor Yan Wen waved his hand tirelessly: "Yes." ”

After speaking, he glanced at Feng Yuanzheng, and the warning look in his eyes was very obvious.

Suddenly frightened, Feng Yuanzheng didn't dare to say anything.

Only then did Emperor Yan Wen get up and take Gonggong Cui back to the south study.

And Concubine Yu watched Emperor Yan Wen leave, she was a little flustered, and she casually found an excuse and left.

At this point, the old prince couldn't rely on Weiyang Palace, so he thanked the queen and retreated with Liang Guogong.

Feng Yuanzheng and the Yang family retreated with the Feng Qiluo sisters.

For a while, in the huge Weiyang Palace, only Mrs. Protector and An Youning remained.

The queen glanced at Mrs. Protector and asked her to go out first, leaving only An Youning.

Seeing that the room was completely quiet, the queen spoke: "Youning, you get up." ”

Hearing this, An Youning's body did not move, but he just raised his head to meet the queen's eyes, and his inky black eyes revealed a trace of coldness.

"You Ning just wants to ask, my aunt knew about the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet from beginning to end." An Youning deliberately did not call the queen mother, but called her aunt.

I just want the queen to understand that now it is a niece who is asking her aunt, not the relationship between the monarch and the minister.

Hearing this, Queen Yan looked at An Youning, the expression in her eyes changed, and she sighed for a long time: "How do you know?" ”

"I didn't know it at first, but I just looked at my aunt's face just now, and I found out. If my aunt didn't know, she would be like my aunt, and she should be very surprised, but my aunt looked calm, and there was no surprise in her eyes, but a little more guilty. You Ning guessed that my aunt should know about this, at least know that it was Concubine Yu who designed to frame me to make a fool of myself. ”

As for whether it was knowingly or deliberately, it is not known.

swallowed the last sentence back, An Youning's tone was extraordinarily light, and his eyes were lowered, making people a little confused.

Gonggong Wu, the chamberlain on the side, was suddenly heartbroken, and when he saw this, he wanted to speak out, but was blocked by the queen, and only said: "You all go down." ”

Hearing this, Gonggong Wu glanced at An Youning, so he had to nod, and the female officials who led the servants to retreat.

"Yes, Hongu does know, and it knows before they do it." When there are no outsiders, the queen has nothing to hide.

An Youning already has the answer, and he doesn't feel like anything if he hears it again.

Although she disagreed, she understood the queen's approach.

I just thought that my cousin was framed by design, and was scolded by the nobles in the capital, and I thought about the well-behaved, sensible and obedient cousin who followed me at the beginning.

I couldn't help but feel a little annoyed in my heart.

"The queen knew that she was deliberately conniving, and because this incident happened, she just wanted Concubine Yu to leave some more mistakes."

"It's just that Niangniang has ever wondered how my life has gone after that? Have you ever wondered why they did this? An Youning said, his dark eyes revealing a hint of ghostly light.

A trace of helplessness and guilt flashed in the queen's eyes when she heard this: "This matter, this palace is sorry for you, but you should understand that as a woman from the An family, there are many things that you can't help yourself, this is fate." ”

An Youning didn't think so, at the beginning, she just thought it was fate, obeyed the family's arrangement, married Lin Yan, and finally became a ghost.

Now she doesn't believe in the number of lives she has done.

It's just a self-deceptive rhetoric.

"The queen must have known that the Dingbei Hou Mansion had already colluded with Concubine Gui, and was secretly helping Concubine Guifei to give advice. And Concubine Qi has coveted the position of the queen for a long time, and she is ambitious, and she wants to help the four princes seize power. To seize power, the first thing the concubine and the Lin family had to do was to win over the courtiers and buy the generals. These things require a large sum of money, whether it is the concubine or the Lin family, I am afraid that they will not be able to come up with such a large amount of money. So they deliberately designed to frame me to make a fool of myself at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, not only to take advantage of my name An Jia and the queen to lose face and lose my sacred heart, but more importantly, what my father and mother left me at the beginning. ”

An Youning paused as he spoke.

With his eyes like a torch, he looked at the queen: "When my grandfather was alive to buy a dowry for my mother, he bought three hills. It just so happened that there was a vein hidden under these three mountains, which very few people knew, but my grandmother and uncle knew. ”

Before she could finish speaking, the queen's face changed.

On his always calm and dignified face, there was a rare look of panic.

She didn't know Feng's dowry, and she couldn't have imagined that the Dingbei Hou Mansion and Concubine Qi were actually fighting this idea.

No wonder An Youning had an accident, Feng Yuanzheng was such a heartbroken upper hall, and he was willing to use the position of lord of the Dingbei Marquis Mansion to exchange An Youning for a peace.

At that time, I thought they were trying to separate An Youning and An Jia, so that they could deal with An Jia.

Unexpectedly, from beginning to end, what people calculated was just An Youning and the minerals behind her.

Only when An Youning leaves the An family, can Feng Yuanzheng go to the An family openly and honestly to return to the Feng family's dowry.

Thinking of the Lin family's actions in the previous dynasty these days, many officials of the former dynasty are constantly moving closer to the Lin family, if it were not for the support of a few neutral old ministers, I am afraid that the An family will be completely isolated.

Thinking of this, the queen couldn't help but feel a little scared.

Looking at An Youning again, the look in his eyes was even more complicated: "This matter is that this palace does not live with you, and this palace has not considered it." ”

Hearing this, An Youning shook his head: "It's not that the queen mother is not thoughtful, it's just that the mother doesn't know this." Today, Youning also wants to ask Niangniang to forgive her sins, and also ask Niangniang to forgive Niangniang's plan to ruin Niangniang's plan, Youning is doing this to protect herself, and secondly, to protect your family. You Ning still understands the truth of both prosperity and loss, so I also ask the queen to understand, and I hope that the mother can help You Ning recover her father's inheritance. ”
