Chapter 40: Throwing Stones and Asking for Directions

"The Queen Mother thinks twice, at this time, you must not be rash, the minister is honest and diligent, you can look at his past merits, spare him this time." Yunni was so anxious that she hurriedly went over to support the Queen Mother, gently supported her back, and helped her to smooth her breath.

At this time, the Queen Mother didn't care about thinking about the imperial grandson in Yunni's belly, she just looked at Ming Qingyan who didn't say a word coldly, and said in a trembling voice: "You, you come over and tell the mourning family yourself, what did you mean by what you said just now, you, do you want the mourning family to also go and make that Tuoba clan low!" ”

"Queen Mother, Ming Xiang didn't mean that......" The Queen Mother said, Yun Ni immediately said in horror, she gave Ning Shangmo a look, but Ning Shangmo just shook his head, and refused to step forward.

It's really not that she didn't save her when she saw death, but the Queen Mother was so angry that Ming Qingyan actually protected the princess Tuoba, and she was mixed in the middle, so it was really difficult to persuade peace.

"Don't speak for him, let him talk to the mourners himself." The Queen Mother patted the back of Yunni's hand, the force was not small, and after a while, it was already crimson.

And Ming Qingyan was still clubbed outside the door, without the slightest intention of coming in. Seeing this, he just saluted respectfully, and his tone was extremely tough: "The Queen Mother is the Queen Mother of Daling, your words and deeds will be imitated by the people of Daling, even if you have personal feelings, you should not vent at this time." ”

As soon as such disrespectful words came out, everyone present gasped, and even Ning Shangmo couldn't help frowning into the word 'Chuan'.

This is really too abnormal, Ming's words and words are not like exhortations, but more like deliberately saying them to make the Queen Mother angry......

She turned her head and observed Ming Qingyan's expression suspiciously, standing against the light, his face seemed to be covered with a black veil, although he couldn't see the subtle changes on his face, but Ning Shangmo could also see from the relaxed aura he exuded that he was not panicked in the face of such a scene.

"Up and down, Prime Minister Ming, you want to talk about this. The mourning family is already an old woman, and if she doesn't wait for nothing, she will go to be with the first emperor, and the mourning family doesn't want to let her, so what? The Queen Mother laughed angrily, she pushed away Yunni's hands, turned around and sat on the couch, and picked up a cup of morning dew. In the fragrance of tea, I couldn't even see what her expression was.

Ning Shangmo helped Yun Ni sit down on the side, looked at the two facing each other suspiciously, leaned in Yun Ni's ear, and whispered: "Why do I think it's a little strange, it's not normal for Ming to say lightly as soon as he enters the palace...... Do you think he's hiding something from us? ”

Yunni was so frightened that she didn't know what to say, and the person she said lightly was the queen mother after all, not someone else. But when Ning Shangmo said this, he looked at Ming Qingyan carefully, and he also noticed that something was wrong: "Yes, why do I think he seems to be doing it on purpose?" ”

"Sister also saw it?" Ning Shangmo's eyes widened, Yun Ni looked at her and nodded, but she couldn't say what was wrong, but her intuition told her that this was definitely not the attitude that Ming Qingyan should have at this time.

"But what is the use of just letting us see it, we have to see it from the Queen Mother." Yun Ni rubbed the corners of her clothes, a mouthful of silver teeth was about to wear out her lips, this Ming Qingyan didn't say anything in advance, what if something really happened.

Ning Shangmo was also very worried, the Queen Mother's temper had never been good, looking at her face, although it was a light and light wind, but she knew that this was just the calm before the storm.

"Why didn't Ming Xiang speak, did he think that the old woman of the mourning family couldn't listen to what he said?" The Queen Mother took a sip of tea as she spoke, but in the next moment, she slammed the teacup on the ground!

With a crisp sound, the palace people who were waiting in the palace all looked panicked and knelt down with a "plop".

Ming Qingyan was still standing, his expression was a little indifferent, he looked at the palace people kneeling all over the ground, coughed, and said: "The Queen Mother should go to the banquet earlier, although all the people in this palace are your people, but they are just harsh to the palace people, and it is really not something that a noble person like you can do, the Queen Mother." ”

The guard who was kneeling at the door heard Ming Qingyan's words, and his legs fell on his knees.

This is not a trivial matter to say casually, saying that the Queen Mother treats the palace people harshly, it is implying that she is acting violently, is this Ming Xiang really dead!

"Hehehe, what a harsh treatment, what a honor. Ming said lightly, you, the prime minister, are only afraid that you are tired of doing it, do you know what is the most taboo for being a courtier? The Queen Mother smiled dumbly, but this smile was full of coldness, and the slightly timid palace maids began to tremble.

Ming said lightly but still smiled: "The queen mother's words are bad, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics is a rule that has been passed down since ancient times, although the queen mother is now the queen mother, but she is also a person in the harem, so vain about political affairs, I am afraid that it will be inappropriate." ”

"Hey, didn't you poison him, did he dare to say it, isn't he really afraid of death?" Ming's words fell slightly, and Yun Ni pulled Ning Shangmo's collar and asked uneasily.

"I swear, I never poisoned him!" Ning Shangmo immediately raised her hand and swore to the sky, after speaking, she glanced at the Queen Mother again, probably she had never been so angry, she couldn't even speak at this time, she just lay on the chair and gasped, she listened to the voice, felt that the Queen Mother seemed to have phlegm in her body, worried that she was stuck in the phlegm, and hurriedly held a spittoon over.

The Queen Mother was angry, where did she care about phlegm or not, she took a sip, and kicked the spittoon over, her face was already as gloomy as the mountain rain was coming, she pointed to Ming and said lightly: "It seems that the mourning family is old, and they can't even call a subordinate in, okay!" Very good! cough cough cough ......"

"Queen Mother, don't move......" Ning Shangmo hurriedly gave the Queen Mother a good breath, but the Queen Mother grabbed her arm and pulled her to sit beside her, she patted Ning Shangmo's hand until her wrists were full of red marks before she let go, and sneered: "Okay!" Since someone is unwilling to be a competent prime minister and favors the Gentiles, then the mourning family will fulfill him! Come to someone, take the will of the mourning family! ”

The little palace maid who was waiting by the Queen Mother's side kowtowed, quickly got up and retreated, and went to the treasury to get the silk cloth used by Yizhi.

Ning Shangmo didn't dare to come out, just carefully observed the Queen Mother's face, thinking about finding an opportunity to persuade her, but before she could find a chance, she heard the sound of things colliding in the back room.

"Who is so careless! Come on, send her to the mourning family! The Queen Mother didn't reply, so she commanded the eunuch who was kneeling by the door.

But before the eunuch could get up, there was another person in the room, with a bloody stain, who stopped him.

"Yishu, why are you here?" Ning Shangmo smelled a smell of blood, and turned his head to see Yun Yishu covered in blood.

"There's something going on in the palace." Yun Yishu wiped the blood on her face with the back of her hand, leaving a dark brown scratch in an instant, but she didn't care at all, she just nodded towards Ming Qingyan: "It's okay anymore." ”

"What's okay?" Before Ming Qingyan could speak, Ning Shangmo asked.

Yun Yishu looked at Ming Qingyan, and after he nodded, he said slowly: "Didn't there be an assassin sneak attack last night, I discussed it with Ming Xiang, and I felt that it was very likely that there were spies in the palace, and after tracking all the way, we found that he entered the Queen Mother's Shoukang Palace, and we were worried that the Queen Mother would encounter accidents, so we acted in this play." ”

Ning Shangmo glanced at her with a suspicious face, did not speak, and just waited quietly for her next step.

Yun Yishu's sudden appearance startled the Queen Mother, although she was a familiar person, she still felt uneasy when she appeared in her palace with a bright knife.

Just as she was about to ask, Ming Qingyan actually knelt on the ground with a "plop", kowtowed two heads, and the previous arrogance was completely different, at this moment he was like a child who had done something wrong, and said softly: "The Queen Mother, please forgive me, just because the situation is urgent, it is really not appropriate to explain it to too many people......

Before he spoke, Yun Yishu also knelt down and kowtowed, and confessed: "Queen Mother, please forgive me!" ”

"You guys get up first, what's going on, it's all clear to the mourning family!" Seeing that they didn't look like they were deceiving her, the Queen Mother nodded and said to Yun Yishu, "You come." ”

Yun Yishu kowtowed, stood up and clapped his hands, and the guards brought in a person covered in blood whose face had been blurred by blood. The man seemed to have only half a life left, but he was still mercilessly tied up and thrown in.

"This person is the butler of the military department, and the military department is in the name of giving birthday gifts, and the enemy betrays the country in the palace!" Yun Yishu said, and gave him a punch as if venting his anger, and the man's head was deflected, spitting out a mouthful of bloody phlegm and two bloody teeth, and he passed out.

Yun Yishu didn't stop the strength of her hand at all, she pulled the man's hair, revealing his face, it was a middle-aged man with thief eyebrows, she searched out a letter from the man's clothes, which was originally intended to be handed over to the Northern Mongolian general Nurha, which was written about the palace guards' patrol hours and shift change rules.

It turned out that just before Ning Shangmo and the three of them entered the palace, Ming Qingyan had planned this matter with the two famous arresters. They expected that the people of Beimeng would not let go of the surveillance of the palace, and because the queen mother never asked about political affairs, and the concubine had not yet returned outside the palace, this Shoukang Palace and the concubine Chaoyun Hall were the places they would not be guarded against, but they had to monitor, so this was also the best place to arrest people.

Yun Yishu, escorted by Leng Qingrong, disguised himself as a palace maid and sneaked into Shoukang Palace, and while this person was standing at the foot of the outer wall of the palace and eavesdropping, he caught him: "If it weren't for Ming Xiang saying those words, making him mistakenly think that no one noticed him, and being less vigilant, I'm afraid we wouldn't be so easy to catch him." ”

With that, she kicked the man, so hard that he convulsed, rolled his eyes and passed out completely.

"I will take this person back and hand it over to the master for interrogation, and let him vomit clean in less than half a day, I hope the queen mother can feel at ease." After Yun Yishu finished speaking, he presented the letter to the Queen Mother: "My subordinates have already read it, and it records in detail the patrols and shifts of the guards of each palace, and it is accompanied by the roster and portraits of the imperial guards of the health palace, all of which are true!" ”

"Heart Cultivation Palace?" The Queen Mother's eyes like eagles and falcons narrowed slightly, revealing an inquiring look, she stared at the housekeeper for a while before she spoke, and her tone was indescribably gloomy: "It seems that these people don't want the mourning family to have a good birthday, very good, really good." ”

After that, she looked at Yun Yishu fixedly, and said in an unprecedentedly serious tone: "Give your master two hours, let him spit out everything he knows, and then behead this person, and hang the body at the south city gate for a year to show the public for a year, as an example." After the conspirators are discovered, the conspirators and their families will be expelled from the northern border and will never be allowed to re-enter Daling! ”
