Chapter 659: Struggle for Power (3)
This is a lively scene, and not everyone is qualified to watch it.
Except for Empress Yu and the princesses, there were only a few people who went with Cheeky in the end. Among them, there are Princess Linjiang and Princess Hejian, as well as several old ladies.
Mrs. Xiao couldn't rest assured that her brother-in-law and daughter-in-law couldn't worry about Xiao Yuhan, and she was cheeky and automatically asked Ying to follow behind everyone.
If Emperor Jianwen knew underground, he didn't know what it would be like in his heart.
Before his bones were buried, his wife, daughters, and daughters-in-law began to intrigue for power in the palace.
Xie Mingxi walked slowly, neither rushing forward nor deliberately falling backwards. Just maintain a position where everyone can be seen clearly and will not be affected.
The Song family was still kneeling on the ground, and several other female dependents were also kneeling.
Princess Changping, who was full of anger and gloomy expression, cried out with red eyes when she saw the mighty group of people led by Queen Yu: "Queen Mother, you are finally here!" ”
"This Song family is disrespectful to his father, and he is talking and laughing here. There was evidence, but she refused to admit her guilt. It's nothing more than bullying my youth. ”
"Now that the queen mother is finally here, let's see if she dares to quibble! The queen mother must punish her severely to comfort her father's spirit in heaven. ”
Like a girl who had been wronged, she cried and fell into Queen Yu's arms.
Xie Mingxi raised his eyebrows slightly.
In the past, I only felt that Princess Changping was a little proud and strong, but I didn't expect her acting skills to be so clever. This cry and complaint can be called extremely clever. It not only discredited the Song family, but also skillfully resolved the previous overbearing and domineering actions.
Sure enough, I came prepared!
It seems that the Xiao family will definitely suffer a loss today.
Empress Yu's eyes flashed with distress, and when her gaze swept to Song's face, she turned into a flame.
The Song family could resist the anger of Princess Changping, but under the anger of Queen Yu, they felt chills in their hearts, did not have the courage to look at each other, and lowered their heads.
Xiao Yuhan secretly said that it was not good, took a step forward, and said softly: "Third aunt, what the imperial sister said just now is true?" The queen mother is the most magnanimous, and will never slander anyone, nor will she wronged you without solid evidence. If you have any grievances, you might as well tell them. The Queen Mother will make the decisions for you! ”
Extremely decently handled!
Xie Mingxi secretly shook his head in his heart.
Queen Yu's mother and daughter bothered to create such a favorable situation, just to lose the face of the Xiao family and step on the East Palace by the way. How could he retreat because of Xiao Yuhan's fluttering words?
Sure enough, as soon as Xiao Yuhan's voice fell, Queen Yu said coldly: "This palace has eyes to see and ears to hear, and it is not yet time to be old and confused." Shaw, you step aside. When the palace can't deal with it, I'll ask you again. ”
Xiao Yuhan's face turned red, and he hurriedly bowed down and said, "My daughter-in-law doesn't dare." ”
Not to mention Xie Mingxi, even Yin Xiaoxiao saw that something was wrong, and couldn't help frowning.
At this time, you will either just go to the end and fight with Queen Yu and Princess Changping. was pressed by the word filial piety, and retreated. What's next?
Li Xiangru gloated and glanced at Xiao Yuhan, who was flushed.
Zhao Changqing was much more sleek, took the initiative to step forward to hold Xiao Yuhan's hand, and said softly: "Don't worry, the third emperor's sister-in-law, the queen mother will definitely handle this matter impartially." ”
Xie Mingxi was stunned in his heart.
Being a man is the most taboo on both sides of the wall. Zhao Changqing's ambiguous attitude and unclear position are not a good thing.
As for Xie Mingxi himself, he naturally knew that Xiao Yuhan at this time was by no means Queen Yu's opponent. However, she had no intention of interfering in the matter. The struggle for power in the palace has nothing to do with her.
Just stand by and watch the excitement with a cold eye.
……
Empress Yu has been in charge of the Middle Palace for many years, with deep authority and strong aura. One mouth, you can control the overall situation.
first shocked the crown princess Xiao Yuhan, then opened her mouth to ask the palace maid, and then, unhurriedly, asked the daughters kneeling in front of her one by one.
Under the gaze of those condensed and sharp phoenix eyes, someone finally couldn't resist and let go, and opened his mouth tremblingly to admit: "...... Back to Niangniang's words, the Song family did whisper and laughed before. said that the emperor died because of indulging in women, and it can be regarded as a ghost under the peony flower. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces changed.
Xiao Yuhan breathed and looked at Song in disbelief.
Song is really bold! How dare you say such a rebellious statement!
Song's face was miserable, and he couldn't kneel anymore, and he defended himself with Ai Ai: "The courtiers didn't say this...... How dare the courtiers be disrespectful to the first emperor......"
Empress Yu's face was like frost, her eyes were like knives, and she scraped Song's face inch by inch: "What a Song!" Who gave you the guts to dare to discuss the first emperor in private! ”
"If you don't say these words yourself, who would dare to make them up wantonly!"
Then, his cold gaze swept over the rest of the female dependents one by one: "This palace will give you one last chance to tell the truth." Otherwise, this palace will even ask you for the crime and punish you! ”
Even the words of crime and punishment were spoken! It can be seen how angry Queen Yu is!
Although several female relatives are friendly with the Song family, they have not reached the point of intersecting with their lives. Seeing that the Song family was about to fall into bad luck, no one dared to carry it for the Song family anymore, and kowtowed one by one to forgive: "Niang Niang forgive your sins!" Song did say these words. Courtiers should not cover up for the Song family. ”
"Mother's mercy! The courtiers don't dare anymore! ”
"The courtiers shouldn't lie for her, please let the lady be light!"
Song was paralyzed to the ground.
It's one thing to talk about jokes, and it's another thing to privately criticize the cause of Emperor Jianwen's death. With only these two sentences, Empress Yu has enough reasons to deal with her.
Xiao Yuhan's heart was also cold.
Today, the Song family is in a catastrophe. The face of the East Palace will also be gone.
……
No one expected that someone would stand up and intercede for the Song family at this time.
No one expected that this intercessor would be Xie Mingxi, who had always stayed out of the matter.
"The queen mother is angry," Xie Mingxi took a step forward and opened his mouth to say, "What the Song family said is indeed inappropriate. It's just that the bones of my father are still in the mourning hall and have not yet been buried. At this time, he made a big move, and he was inevitably disrespectful to his father. ”
Moreover, such criticisms and speculations are really unbearable. Once it spreads, won't everyone know about it? ”
"How can my father bear such an unworthy reputation?"
Therefore, the daughter-in-law dared to ask the queen mother to suppress the matter. Do not spread it, lest it damage the dignity of the royal family. ”
After speaking, Xie Mingxi bowed slightly.
Empress Yu's eyes were a little angry, and she glanced at Xie Mingxi fixedly.
No matter what Xie Mingxi's intentions were, at least, there was a sentence that touched her heart.
It's just a Song family, it doesn't matter if you live or die. However, beating rats can't hurt the jade bottle. Emperor Jianwen is dead, and she will never allow anyone to tarnish Emperor Jianwen's posthumous name.
