Chapter 360: Suspicion
Empress Dowager Zhao was stunned when she heard this, and intuitively felt that Emperor Yuan Jia's next words were not good for her.
But the current situation could not allow her to avoid it, so Empress Dowager Zhao had to ask uneasily: "Who is it?" ”
Emperor Yuan Jia was waiting for Empress Dowager Zhao's words, and when he heard this, he immediately shouted coldly: "Bring it up!" ”
Jiang Yi immediately put King Qi, who was tied up with five flowers, gagged with rags, and whimpered.
"King Qi?!" Empress Dowager Zhao was shocked, hurriedly let go of Emperor Yuanjia, stepped forward a few steps forward to support King Qi, turned around and frowned and asked, "What's going on?" ”
Emperor Yuan Jia's heart was cold when he saw this, and the words and deeds of the Empress Dowager Zhao had already explained everything - he was not dead yet, and the Empress Dowager Zhao had already found a successor.
"Why, didn't King Qi tell his mother? He fornicated with Warat with the intention of assassinating him in the paddock. Emperor Yuan Jia asked rhetorically, his expression cold.
Empress Dowager Zhao's heart was sudden, and she was stunned for a while.
Of course she had heard about it, and it was King Qi who had come to her to ask for help who had told her about it.
It's just that King Qi told her at the time that all this was designed by Emperor Yuanjia, and the purpose was to remove his thorn in the eye and flesh.
Otherwise, how could Emperor Yuan Jia not suffer the slightest injury, but wipe out Zhao Ji and the others?
And Zhao Ji is the person recommended by Zhao Guifei......
The Empress Dowager Zhao was suspicious of this matter, secondly, she was very angry with Zhao Guifei who betrayed the lord in her selfish heart, and thirdly, she was even more worried that after Emperor Yuanjia was seriously injured and died, there was no one closer to her than King Qi in the clan, so when Emperor Yuanjia secretly sent someone to arrest King Qi, she helped to block it back.
But right now, Emperor Yuanjia's angry eyebrows are raised, and his cold and harsh appearance seems to have really committed some great disrespectful sin.
Empress Dowager Zhao gritted her teeth, if King Qi was really useless, then she could only give up this chess piece and figure it out later.
After all, Emperor Yuanjia even invited Sun Changyu and others to come, and he would definitely not give up. If she is bent on protecting the Qi King, she is afraid that not only will she not be able to pull the Qi King, but she will involve herself in it.
Empress Dowager Zhao thought it out in an instant.
She was able to stand tall in the treacherous harem, and even after King Su rebelled, she never took away her title as queen, let alone kicked her out of the palace, and still provided for her with fine clothes and food, relying on this reason and coldness of judging the situation.
"What evidence does the Holy One have for that?" Empress Dowager Zhao let go of King Qi, took a step back, and asked with a solemn eyebrow.
is solemn and dignified, and there is no preference for one or the other.
"It seems that the queen mother has been 'deceived' not lightly." Emperor Yuan Jia chuckled, he had already seen the sleek and clever of the Empress Dowager Zhao, and he didn't think it was strange, so he dared to escort King Qi to the Empress Dowager Zhao to confront him.
"This matter is related to the national system, so let's go to the main hall to deal with it." Emperor Yuan Jia's expression was awe-inspiring, and he said solemnly.
If he continued to stand like this, he was afraid that he would not be able to hold on and fall.
Empress Dowager Zhao saw that Emperor Yuan Jiadi's face was pale, cold sweat was dripping on his forehead in the winter, and in the end, she was taking care of the eldest child by herself, so she hurriedly nodded her head, turned her head and glared at the waiter and palace maid who were standing obediently, and shouted in a low voice: "Don't hurry up and help the saint go in!" One by one, I don't have the ability to see it! ”
When the palace people heard this, they hurriedly went to support Emperor Yuan Jia.
Who knew that Emperor Yuan Jia waved his hand, and the whole person leaned on Zhao Guifei, and said coldly: "No need." ”
Empress Dowager Zhao knew that Emperor Yuan Jia was deliberately making a face for Zhao Guifei, and countered that she had just ordered Zhao Guifei to be arrested and imprisoned, so angry that her heart was dripping blood, but she could only nod and look back at the group of poor palace people who came over.
It is said that "I have a daughter-in-law and forget my mother", she can be regarded as having seen it.
It was because she opposed Emperor Yuanjia's establishment of Zhao Zhen'er, who was born as a family slave, and even allowed her to stay in the palace to serve, and was not allowed to be a concubine for life, so Emperor Yuanjia hated her, completely ignoring his loss of his mother since childhood, all because he was remembered in the name of the queen in order to live a stable life, and was even successfully canonized as the prince of the East Palace; also never cared about her giving up the dignity of the queen, and begged King Su who rebelled against him to ascend the throne, which left him alive......
After Zhao Zhen'er successfully became a concubine, she slandered in front of Emperor Yuan Jia repeatedly, causing Emperor Yuan Jia to dislike her more and more, but she just maintained respect for her as a concubine on the surface.
Otherwise, she would not have been honored as the queen mother of a country, and she still couldn't keep the children of the concubine.
Thinking of the baby who had worked hard to raise her for several months, but was forced to escape from the palace by Zhao Zhen'er, Empress Dowager Zhao couldn't help crying.
Almost, just a little, Emperor Yuanjia will have a successor after a hundred years!
The child didn't know if he had escaped from the capital or if he was still alive......
At the beginning, in order to prevent Zhao Guifei from catching the child, she never contacted Han Yan and his nephew after helping them escape from the palace ban.
Empress Dowager Zhao thought of her dedication to Emperor Yuanjia and the "return" she received along the way, and hated it at the beginning.
She really owed this mother and son in her last life, and her mother was charming and petted when she was born, and she didn't take her as the mother of the main palace in her eyes; For the sake of a house slave, the son abandoned his past kindness.
Empress Dowager Zhao walked while thinking, while remorseful, and when she arrived at the main hall, she reined in her deep thoughts, sat down with Emperor Yuan Jia left and right, and ordered someone to invite Sun Changyu and others to sit down, only then did she notice Han Yan's family of three.
However, I didn't care.
In her opinion, the most important thing at the moment is to determine whether Liu Min, the king of Qi, can still be used by her.
"Don't keep your mouth shut, I give him the right to plead." Emperor Yuan Jia sat down and steadied himself, drank a cup of warm ginseng soup, and then barely cultivated a little strength, and raised his head and said contemptuously to King Qi.
Jiang Yi received the order and took out the cloth ball from King Qi's mouth.
King Qi only felt that his mouth was loose, and he couldn't care about his sore cheeks, so he immediately knelt down at the Empress Dowager Zhao, and shouted for help inarticulately: "The Queen Mother Liangliang (Niangniang) saves the forehead (me), the Queen Mother Liangliang (Niangniang) saves the forehead (me)!" The minister is wronged, he is wronged......"
As he spoke, he had to kneel over and hug Empress Dowager Zhao's leg to shout grievances, but Jiang Yi was held down deadly.
Empress Dowager Zhao subconsciously leaned back, her brows furrowed.
Emperor Yuan Jia on the side saw that Empress Dowager Zhao was busy clearing up the relationship, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook up a sneer.
People who are accustomed to deceiving others and seeing the wind and rudder can expect her to treat people with some sincerity.
It's just that I was "kind" to myself at the beginning, but I'm afraid that I also have the idea of living in strange goods.
Who made his mother the most favored by the first emperor, and he, the prince, was also very liked by the first emperor because of this. Empress Dowager Zhao, who had nothing at the beginning, as long as she adopted herself after the death of her mother, she would naturally sit firmly in the middle palace.
At the beginning, Empress Dowager Zhao sent Zhen'er over, called to take care of her, but it was actually surveillance.
Fortunately, Zhen'er treated him wholeheartedly, and soon told him the truth, and since then, she has been with him no matter the rain or the ordinary!
If it weren't for Zhen'er risking death to ask the Empress Dowager Zhao for help, she would be moved by affection and benefit, but I am afraid that the Empress Dowager Zhao, who has always been accustomed to protecting herself, will not think of protecting him as an heir.
Later, when the first emperor successfully captured the imperial city and regained the throne, the Empress Dowager Zhao actually said in front of the first emperor that she could protect him, all of which was due to her enduring humiliation, and she never mentioned Zhen'er who was desperately protecting him in the hidden mansion!
