179. Everything is a misunderstanding (2)
"Then did you meet Imperial Doctor Xue when you first came?" Thinking of Imperial Physician Xue who had just gone out, Yun Lan asked.
"The king saw it, but he didn't call it."
Yun Lan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but her action movie did not escape Han Yu's ears, and Han Yu asked, "I always feel like you are relieved and have no burden." ”
Because of a period of getting along, the two also became acquainted. So Yun Lan naturally didn't hide it, and said, "I'm afraid that the king will know what Niangniang was injured for." ”
Han Yu smiled lightly and said, "Actually, don't worry. The king had long known what the mother was hurting for. Otherwise, I wouldn't be in such a hurry. ”
Yun Lan was stunned for a moment, and then nodded reassuringly.
While the two were discussing, Mu Ziqin walked quickly to the dormitory. As soon as he arrived at the dormitory, he saw that Luo Ge was spreading all over the world, and there were many people around. He immediately stepped forward and asked, "Concubine De, what's wrong?" ”
Hearing Mu Ziqin's voice, everyone immediately turned around and made way out. Mu Ziqin immediately stepped forward to observe Luo Ge's situation. He didn't look at it, but it was good to see that he almost scolded the people present to death.
Although he already knew the process of Luo Ge's injury, he never expected that the wound would be so serious.
"Can I leave the medicine after the doctor comes to diagnose and treat him?"
"The imperial physician has already prescribed all the medicines, and now someone has followed to get them, and when they get it back, they can give it to Niangniang for a second time." It was Perrin who was standing on the side who replied.
"Then who sent Concubine De back?"
This was Yun Lan who happened to come in, so she replied: "If you go back to the king, it is the two grandmothers in the palace." There were also seven or eight palace maids who carried the mother back at one time. ”
"Bring it back, but that's what it looks like?"
"Yes, I haven't woken up."
"And what was the extent of her wounds? DID YOU KNOW. Yun Lan hesitated slightly. Mu Ziqin saw it and said, "Tell the truth." ”
Yun Lan responded, and then said: "If you go back to the king, Niangniang's entire back has been peeled open." ”
Mu Ziqin was slightly stunned. He never thought that his queen mother would have such a heavy hand. Turned to look at Han Yu and asked, "Why did the Queen Mother beat Concubine De?" ”
"Niangniang was pressed out of Weiyang Palace by the Queen Mother today, and went directly to Qingxia Palace." It was Han Yu who replied, "The Empress Dowager Yi De Concubine Niangniang did not agree with Wang Shang Linxing and other ladies to detain Concubine De Niangniang in the palace. Later, Niangniang was tortured, and Niangniang firmly denied that she had done such acts. The Queen Mother was furious, so she ordered someone to torture her with a cane. ”
"How many rods?"
"Twenty."
Everyone present gasped. Twenty rods was an extremely heavy punishment for a woman in the palace. What's more, in the Queen Mother's Palace, it must be the most severe grandmothers under her who are executed. Those grandmothers are heavy, even if they haven't felt it personally, the palace maids in the palace have also passed on each other. So when Han Yu said that words, everyone present gasped. Mu Ziqin naturally knew it.
After listening to Han Yu's words, Mu Ziqin had doubts in his heart. Because he knew that his mother was not the kind of unreasonable person, but why did he use this as an excuse to punish Luo Ge today. And she used the most ruthless grandmother in her palace to carry out cane punishment.
The more Mu Ziqin thought about it, the more wrong it became. He looked at the scars on Luo Ge's body again, and finally decided to get up and go to Qingxia Palace.
Watching Mu Ziqin come and go, everyone in the Zhaochun Palace was confused.
The first thing Mu Ziqin did after he went to the Qingxia Palace was to go to my meditation pavilion to find the queen mother. Because it was close to noon, it was the second time of the day for the Queen Mother to chant the scriptures. If it is not an important day, the Queen Mother generally does not go to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion to recite the scriptures.
When Mu Ziqin pushed the door in, the Queen Mother's Buddhist scriptures were halfway through. Although he shouldn't be bothered, he still wants to solve the doubts as soon as possible.
"The Queen Mother." Mu Ziqin interrupted.
The Queen Mother did not turn her head to look at him, but continued to move her hands, and the voice of chanting scriptures in her mouth gradually became louder. Of course, the Queen Mother knew the purpose of Mu Ziqin's visit, but she didn't want to explain in such a hurry, in order to make him anxious. In this way, the lesson of this time can be remembered. But how could Mu Ziqin know such good intentions easily.
"The Queen Mother." Mu Ziqin found that the Queen Mother ignored him, and shouted again. But still ignore him. Mu Ziqin could only give up and sit aside and wait. Finally, an hour passed, and when it was time for lunch, the Queen Mother stopped all her movements.
"Ugh." The Queen Mother sighed and said that she had finished reading her scriptures. Mu Ziqin immediately stepped forward to help her up.
"The Queen Mother." Finally, Mu Ziqin shouted again.
"Why are you so nervous today?" The Queen Mother asked slowly, "You have called the mourning family three times since you came in." In the past, when mourning was reciting scriptures, you never bothered. What the hell is going on today? ”
"Erchen...... There is one thing to ask. ”
"It's about Concubine De, right?" The Queen Mother asked first.
Mu Ziqin smiled awkwardly and said, "The queen mother knows...... Erchen wanted to tell the world today that Concubine De was Xia Tianqing, why did the queen mother come forward to stop it and beat her with twenty canes? ”
The Queen Mother sighed and said, "Why are you so elm-headed?" Now think about it for yourself, what is the whole court like after you canonized Concubine De as a noble concubine? Every once in a while, the ministers would write to admonish, and they would be admonished by a different person. After that, if you don't restrain her, let her go out to fast and pray for blessings, and you don't know whether to favor Mrs. Xia Qiu, or to pamper Mrs. Jing in your cold palace again, so as to divert the minister's attention. It's good that you are diligent in government affairs every day. When Concubine De came back, you actually went out of the palace to pick her up in person. After she came back, she was put in charge of the selection of palace maids. This has come and gone, and the criticism generated by the entire court, have you ever thought about how terrible it is? ”
Mu Ziqin shook his head and said, "Erchen understands this. But the queen mother ...... These things are unavoidable for Erchen. If Mrs. Jing's brother hadn't embezzled and accepted bribes, then she wouldn't have been able to find a reason to be sent to the cold palace, and now there is no reason for Erchen to let her out. As for that Mrs. Qiu, do you still use Erchen to say? Although her father said that he was an official and did not embezzle, he wanted to form a gang in the palace, and even wanted to use his daughter to control his sons...... This...... Queen ......"
Mu Ziqin's words were not complete, and the Queen Mother knew it in her heart. She patted his hand and said, "Wang'er, have you ever thought about what the consequences would be if you really recognized Concubine De as your junior sister Xia Tianqing in front of the hundred officials today?" ”
"Erchen thought about it, but if he didn't admit it...... Erchen was really afraid that Su Ling would start a war for this reason. The two countries have always been at war with their people. ”
"Why is this matter involving Su Ling again?" The Queen Mother didn't quite understand.
"Queen Mother, this time Concubine De went to the temple not to eat fasting and pray for the Buddha to pray for the Great Jin Kingdom." Taking a deep breath, Mu Ziqin still decided to confess to the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother was startled, and asked in a vigilant whisper: "Where is Concubine De going this time?" ”
"Su Qianguo."
The Queen Mother was completely stunned. Looking at her expression, Mu Ziqin breathed a sigh of relief, and then said the reason that he had prepared a long time ago: "Luo Ge has actually always been said to be the number one killer of Su Qianguo, Dongge, but she has no martial arts and no killing skills, so she went this time to prove that she is not the number one killer Dongge." But who would have thought that when she went, she would know a shocking secret. ”
"Don't say it yet." The Queen Mother interrupted him suddenly, lifted the tea cup that had been prepared on the table, and took a slow sip.
"The Queen Mother." Looking at her movements, Mu Ziqin knew that she always liked to calm her mood in her own way. So he opened his mouth and cried out with concern.
The Queen Mother shook her head, put down the teacup in her hand, and then asked, "Then what is the secret that she went to know this time?" And what does it have to do with you straightening her? ”
Luo Ge not only knew that Su Qianguo was now preparing to find a fake Xia Qianqing to live in Fengyi Palace, but also confirmed that in the past five years, the decline in the heirs of the entire Su Qianguo Palace was from Su Ling's hands. If we extrapolate from the reliability of all the information brought back by Luo Ge, it is very likely that the previous emperor of Su Qianguo would ...... It was Su Ling who killed him. ”
The Queen Mother was completely speechless. She didn't expect such a shocking secret after Su Qianguo. Looking at her expression, Mu Ziqin patted her hand gently, and then began to explain his plan to turn Luo Ge into Xia Tianqing.
In fact, Erchen knew all this news in the past. It's just that...... It has not been confirmed. So after Luo Ge went to Su Qianguo this time to confirm all this, Erchen began to plot to remove Su Ling's throne. Previously, Erchen hid an edict in your palace, and then asked a man to find it and bring it back. That person is Su Qianguo's legitimate heir - Su Ji. This person's personality is relative to Su Ling...... It can be said that it is very good. He's low-key, forbearing, and big-pictured. Therefore, Erchen wanted to support him to ascend to the throne and become the emperor of Su Qianguo. ”
"So, do you plan to make Luo Ge Xia Qianqing? In this way, it can be revealed that the 'Xia Tianqing' in Su Qianguo's harem is fake? ”
"Yes." Mu Ziqin nodded, "Because Erchen knows that if he doesn't do this, the people of the entire Su Qian Kingdom will fall into the heat of the water." At the same time, once Su Ling is ruthless, then he will start a war at any cost. Although we can all deal with him starting a war, Erchen does not dare to guarantee that the entire Great Jin Kingdom can withstand his rounds of war from now on. Therefore, Erchen felt that since he wanted to do it, he would do it all at once. Since this is the case, let Su Ling completely step down from the throne of Su Qianguo at one time. As long as he is no longer the emperor, then he does not have the ability to continue waging war. ”
"But the result of this is that you will be criticized by the whole country. Have you forgotten King Zhou You and King Shang? Which of them didn't defeat the country at the hands of women? ”
