Emperor Duanhua thinks this is not nonsense? said casually: "Naturally, it is a severe punishment." ”

But what kind of severe punishment, he didn't mean to say in detail - Empress Dowager Su knew that this was because the emperor didn't feel so good about herself, so she didn't bother to speak, and she didn't care, she only covered her throat and coughed a few times, and said: "The mourning family doesn't mean anything else, I just want to ask Ah Xu what to do?" ”

"I have already discussed this matter with the imperial grandmother and the imperial aunt of the Jin Kingdom, and for the sake of the two cousins, I don't plan to come clearly." Duanhua Emperor said, "On the surface, the Lu family is still charged." ”

The reason why the Lu family was found to take the blame was because Weixi's "thorough investigation" proved that Lu Tingquan was indeed hooked. attracted the palace maid of the eldest princess of Yushan to enjoy the rain, so as to instigate the little county lord of Yiwang in the name of the eldest princess to poison Jian Qingyue. It's just that Lu Tingquan didn't have such courage, but it was Jian Likuang who gave him confidence and courage.

Otherwise, Lu Tingquan is also a teenager, and he doesn't have a long brain, even if he resents Song Yixiao, and even because his aunt Lu is the real murderer of Wei Mengying, he wants to cut the grass and eradicate the root - how could he not figure out the difference between murdering Mrs. Yan Guo and murdering Yan Guogong?

Especially the method is smallpox, once this act is known, he will not be able to hold it even the crown prince!

If it weren't for the support of Jian Likuang's simple and innocent father, where would he have the courage to risk the future of his family and even his life?

Second, Lu Yicheng was dead, and before his death, there were rumors about Su Shaoge and Song Yixiao, which made Emperor Duanhua very angry.

In this way, the "real murderers" of Jian Pingyu and Jian Likuang cannot be announced, and the smallpox case must be closed, but there must be a murderer, and Emperor Duanhua decisively thought of the Lu family.

"Your Majesty doesn't plan to let Jian Pingyu and Jian Likuang live?" Hearing this, Empress Dowager Su nodded and asked bluntly.

Seeing that Emperor Duanhua admitted, Empress Dowager Su groaned and said, "Then the mourning family relies on the old man to sell the old man to tell the truth: this kind of Ah Xuan is really too much of a loss!" ”

Emperor Duanhua said: "Ah Xu has indeed suffered a great grievance this time, and even Brother Song ...... sisters."

"That's not what the mourning family said!" Empress Dowager Su's voice was not good in the end, and she couldn't support it after barely saying these words, so she had to point to Princess Changxing and signal her to say.

Changxing stepped forward and said: "Brother Huang, it's like this: the queen mother just heard me say that the real murderer, and said that Uncle Jian did such an angry thing, even if the imperial brother is benevolent, he can't keep him!" It's just that Ah Xu has no children so far, and Song's cousin-in-law guarded her mother's filial piety at the beginning of the year, and she can only be filial piety at the end of this year. If Uncle Jian is gone, no matter what the reason is, Ah Xuan and Cousin-in-law Song, as sons and daughters-in-law, how can they not guard him for three years? In this way, when will the Yanguo Mansion have a little prince? ”

And he said, "Of course, there is a way for a son to be born for three years and then be freed from the bosom of his parents. It is a matter of course for children to mourn their parents for three years! But Brother Huang, think about it, what Uncle Jian did to Ah Xu's family is really sad! If you want to ask Ah Xu's family to keep filial piety for him for three years, even if Ah Xu's family doesn't feel wronged, do you think Ah Xu was raised by the emperor's grandmother, and the imperial grandmother looked at it, how could she not feel sorry for him? Grandmother Huang, she is old, and she hasn't heard a few good news in the past year, so the queen mother thinks, isn't it ...... Think about it? ”

Emperor Duanhua stared for a moment and looked at Empress Dowager Su deeply: "The queen mother is extremely worried, but I am negligent!" ”

"Brother Huang is the lord of the world, every day is full of opportunities, some small things, you shouldn't be worried." Empress Dowager Su of Changxing said humbly, "But the queen mother only thinks that it is not a way for Ah Xu to keep filial piety and have no children, as for what to do in this matter, we have no idea!" But no matter what, it is impossible to let the culprit who killed the second prince go like this - the imperial brother has to make up his mind about this matter! ”

Emperor Duanhua said noncommittally: "You also said that Ah Xu was raised by the emperor's grandmother, and his affairs, I thought, it is better to tell the emperor's grandmother and ask her to decide!" ”

…… After a moment of resignation, Emperor Hua retired and left, Empress Dowager Su and Princess Changxing breathed a sigh of relief.

Changxing asked a little worriedly: "Queen Mother, do you think this thing can be done?" ”

"Eight times out of ten. Nine is no problem. The Empress Dowager Su's mouth changed, and she said silently, "The Empress Dowager has always doted on Ah Xu, you also know, Ah Xu has been married for three years, but there is only one daughter under his knees - especially this time the father and daughter were both infected with smallpox, and both of them survived!" If there is a mistake, the Empress Dowager will probably have to ......"

She shook her head and continued, "After such an experience, whether it is the Empress Dowager or the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom, they must be anxious to hope that he will have a son as soon as possible!" ”

After a pause, he said, "This is also the kindness of the Empress Dowager and the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom, and the hardships she suffered in her early years do not want to be added to the younger generations." If you change to other mothers-in-law and elders, even if it is a mourning family, in this case, you have to persuade the Song family to give Ah Xuan a concubine, so that the branches and leaves can be scattered! After all, it is still half a year before the end of the year, and the Song family entered the door and said that it was three years, but from the middle of last year to the present, they are counting on her to give birth to a son-in-law, and it will be the second half of next year at the earliest! In the middle, a few well-born concubines can be accepted, and several concubines and concubines can be landed! ”

And since the Empress Dowager and the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom do not plan to interfere in Jian Xubai's backyard, they can only hope for Song Yixiao - Song Yixiao will be with her husband after she has her mother's filial piety at the end of the year. room, but after the couple lives together, there may not be news immediately.

"In this case, the Empress Dowager and the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom must be very anxious, the problem is that this time the smallpox incident has folded the two princes in, how do you say the emperor can swallow this breath? He would never agree to let go of the Jian family's father and son, and he wouldn't even tolerate them for too long! Empress Dowager Su took the loquat dew handed by her daughter, moistened her throat, and continued to "say" silently, "Then what should I do?" The father and son of the Jian family must die, and Ah Xu's heirs also have to consider - what else can be done besides what the old lady Duanmu said? ”

"The only way to do this is to succeed." At this moment, where the Empress Dowager lived, Emperor Duanhua, who had gone and returned, relayed Empress Dowager Su's considerations, and the room suddenly fell silent.

After a long time, it was the Empress Dowager who spoke first and said to her daughter Jinguo, the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom, who had not yet left, "Fortunately, Ah Xu still has a third uncle, and his third uncle has no children under his knees and has always treated him well, if Ah Xuan is succeeded to Jian Limiao's knees, then Jian Likuang will become Ah Xu's uncle - so he only needs to serve filial piety for one year, which is shorter than three years of filial piety!" ”

But Jian Xubai is the son of the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom after all, and he is also a particularly favored son, even if it is the Empress Dowager who makes this suggestion, this will inevitably add, "Of course, Ah Xuan and his wife are still young, although this time they were plotted by the Jian family's father and son with smallpox, in the end it is also improving." There is a way that if you don't die, there will be blessings in the future, if you let them keep it for three years, there will definitely be children and grandchildren in the future. The reason why the emperor brought the Queen Mother's words over was just to feel sorry for Ah Xu! There's no point in forcing you to nod your head! ”

Emperor Duanhua also said: "What the emperor's grandmother said is very true! The queen mother only said that she cared about Ah Xu's cousin's heir - I thought that if Rong Jian Pingyu and Jian were away for another year and a half, maybe Ah Xu's cousin would have another heir. ”

"They've all done such evil things, and if they get away with it again, who knows if they'll do something even more frustrating?" The eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom has been in the palace for a long time, how can she not see that Emperor Duanhua is just a kind word?

In the end, it was the emperor's own son who died!

The emperor is willing to care about her aunt's bad looks, and is willing to quietly close the case without involving her, which is already enough to give her face.

If this will be considered for the heir of the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom, and ask the emperor to endure the revenge of the son, this is too cheeky!

Even when her younger brother Emperor Xianjia, who had shared weal and woe, was there, the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom would not do such a thing, not to mention that the emperor of this meeting was only her nephew?

So the eldest princess looked complicated for a moment, closed her eyes and said, "Jian Pingyu and Jian Likuang are better dealt with as soon as possible - as for Ah Xuan and his wife, they are always filial piety, it's really not good, not only the queen mother is anxious, but I am also anxious, just follow the queen mother, let him pass under the name of Jian San!" ”

After a pause, "Over the years, Jian Likuang has never fulfilled his fatherly responsibilities to him, but Jian San loves Ah Xuan very much. I've always been worried, after I go on the other day, what will Jian Likuang do with filial piety and rule Axuke? Now that I think about it, this is the best way to do it. ”

Speaking of this, he glanced at the emperor thoughtfully, "The Queen Mother can still think about Ah Xu like this when she is sick, it really makes me ashamed - I have been worried about Ah Xu recently, and I haven't visited her!" ”

"The queen mother is also Ah Xu's aunt after all." Emperor Duanhua didn't have any suspicions, he thought that the Empress Dowager Su deliberately called herself to say such things in the past, nominally for the Empress Dowager and Jian Xubai, but in fact, it was to ease the relationship with him, the emperor.

After all, he is also very concerned about Jian Xubai.

And the Queen Mother also has a reason to understand with Emperor Duanhua, after all, not to mention old accounts, just saying that she will hang the beam, which makes Emperor Duanhua embarrassed.

Of course, the Queen Mother did that to protect her nephew: King Liang proposed to link the matter of smallpox with the two kings of Suxiang, and Lu Yicheng wrote a blood letter before his death saying that Su Shaoge seduced Song Yixiao, the wife of Yanguo, - in the opinion of the Queen Mother Su, how can she not worry about her mother's family and son?

As the mother who has no backer, the only thing that the Queen Mother can threaten Emperor Duanhua is filial piety.

It's just that as Su Shaoge said, the constraints of reputation are just like that. Emperor Xianjia, who single-handedly trained Emperor Duanhua, is a typical example, so after Emperor Duanhua personally went to the bed to ask for guilt, expressing that he absolutely did not believe Lu Yicheng's nonsense, it was tantamount to a euphemistic hint that King Su and the Su family would not be moved—at least not for the time being.

So why does the queen mother continue to enjoy the emperor's service with her mother's shelf now? That must have soothed the grievances and unhappiness of the emperor and queen in turn.

It's just that at the moment, the Queen Mother has nothing to do for the emperor, and she can only use the excuse of caring about Jian Xubai and euphemistically help Emperor Duanhua to vent her anger: some grievances and hatreds in the early years of the Jian family, Empress Dowager Su knows, and Emperor Duanhua also knows.

Passing Jian Xubai to Jian Limiao, the most angry person may not be Jian Likuang, I am afraid it is still Jian Pingyu.

And the culprit suspected by Emperor Duanhua was Jian Pingyu.

Emperor Duanhua thought that he had seen his mother's careful plan, but he didn't care, after all, he was also happy to see it.

"That's right!" Seeing Emperor Duanhua say this, the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom paused and didn't pursue it, and after her eyes were in a trance, she said, "But Your Majesty has to worry about this matter!" ”
