Chapter 44: The Palace Debates

Xue Chang guessed correctly, Qiu Lulan was indeed in full poisonous tongue mode, in front of the Empress Dowager Gu, Empress Jiang and others, he scolded Guo Qingwu to the point that it was better to die than a pig and a dog - at this time, Guo Qingwu had also arrived, although he had expected the day when the matter was exposed since he deliberately seduced Qiu Jinzhu, but he didn't expect Qiu Yulan's eloquence to be so good, he wanted to interject several times, but he didn't find the entry point, and his face was white and red, and he was extremely embarrassed.

It's easy to say the end: "...... Please ask the two mothers to call the shots for the cousins of the courtiers! Punish this lewd fang, in order to clear the world! ”

Besides, Qingwu hadn't answered yet, and Qiu Jinzhu, who was not angry, exclaimed first!

This pig mate!

Although Qiu Yulan is mentally prepared, she can't help but sigh secretly at this moment!

Sure enough, Empress Dowager Gu immediately seized the opportunity: "Ning Tai seems to have something to say?" But what Ning Yi said was not right? ”

Qiu Jinzhu, who was pinched by Xiuyan, didn't dare to oppose Qiu Yulan in public, and said with tears in her eyes: "Back to the words of the Queen Mother, what my cousin said is ......"

"You've got to think about it!" The Queen Mother interrupted with a smile, "According to Ning Yi's meaning, it is to put the prince of Zhang Guo to death...... Are you sure what your cousin said is okay? ”

"......" Qiu Jinzhu's face changed color, and he subconsciously looked at the lover not far away, but saw that Qingwu was also throwing a sad glance at him, then retracted his gaze, and arched his hand towards Danqi: "Two Niangniang, the minister does have a negative Ningtai county lord, and now the county lord is dead, and the minister has nothing to say!" ”

His hand is retreating as advancing, which is obvious to Qiu Yulan, but it suddenly messes up Qiu Jinzhu's heart: "How can this be? Didn't the fifth sister say that she wanted to save me? How could you ask for Lang's life first?! ”

I thought of what Qiu Yulan had said before that Qiu Zhongyan died at the hands of Guo Shihan, "The fifth sister wants to take advantage of the current opportunity to force Guo Lang to death in order to avenge Uncle Wang?!" ”

"What to do?! If I follow the fifth sister's words, what will happen to Guo Lang...... If you don't follow the fifth sister's words, with the temperament of the fifth sister, where can you spare me afterwards?! ”

"My mother and my fifth sister both said that Kuang was lying to me, but now he is willing to die...... If you really want to lie to me, why should you admit that you have failed me? Could it be that there is something wrong with him? ”

She was stunned here, and others didn't have so much time to wait.

At that moment, the Empress Dowager Gu sneered: "Ning Tai, didn't you hear the words of the prince of Zhang Guo?" It's a big deal, why don't you say a word and let your cousin speak for you?! ”

Queen Jiang, who has always loved to choke with the Queen Mother, although she rushed over in time to give Qiu Yulan a town field this time, but at the moment she had no intention of coming out, holding a tea cup in her hand, looking down meaningfully under the Danqi, she had the meaning of taking this incident as an examination for Qiu Yulan.

Without the queen blocking the Empress Dowager Gu and preventing the Empress Dowager Gu from continuing to coax Qiu Jinzhu, Qiu Yulan naturally could only go into battle by herself: "The Empress Dowager's words are wrong, the cousin of the courtiers has not yet left the cabinet, how can such things be said in public?" Naturally, it can only be narrated by the courtiers. And the words of the prince of Zhang Guo are obviously confessional! In this case, why should the mother embarrass the cousin of the courtier, it should be a punishment, and the cousin of the courtier, who is also the mother's family, will be fair! ”

Although Empress Jiang didn't say anything, she was here to help.

For example, Qiu Yulan's wording can be arrogant and domineering, anyway, the queen will return to the school, and it is impossible to really sit back and watch her nephew and daughter-in-law be dragged down and beaten by the Empress Dowager Gu.

Sure enough, Empress Dowager Gu's eyes flashed with murder, and she glanced at the queen at the head of the house, and resisted the urge to call someone to take Qiu Yulan out and kill her-With Empress Jiang here, this order will definitely not be executed, but it will be a waste of Chenguang.

These days, Empress Dowager Gu plans to take advantage of Qin Guogong's illness to clean up the queen's party, and she has done her best. The Queen Mother is also about to become a great-grandmother, and her energy is also very precious now, so she doesn't want to waste it in vain.

Therefore, he only glanced at his henchman female officer.

The female official understood, and said coldly: "Lord Ningyi must not be presumptuous!" The Queen Mother asked, how can you be allowed to put your beak! Besides, how can the Lord of Ningtai not explain it himself?! "You've done all the shameless things of your cousin, and you're afraid to say it again?!

"Lady Zheng's words are ridiculous." Empress Jiang, who had been standing by and watching, frowned slightly when she saw the female official of the Queen Mother come out to speak, and also glanced at the female official Lin beside her, and the female official Lin immediately spoke up, "Why is the county lord of Ningyi presumptuous?" In addition, Qingwugui is the son of the country, but he is incorruptible and shameless, seducing the young county lord, and reading the book of sages in vain! The county lord of Ningyi is the cousin of the lord of Ningtai County, and the sisterhood is deep, and it is human nature to wish that Qingwu would be punished as soon as possible! How can you call it presumptuous?! ”

Empress Jiang drank tea leisurely and looked at the Empress Dowager Gu provocatively - the female official said that she had an official word, but in front of the royal family, she was still a slave, of course, the slave of the heavenly family was very much within the reach of others, and she was of grade after all. Therefore, Lady Zheng came out to reprimand Qiu Tuolan, but Su He and the others did not dare and could not reply on their behalf, if the queen did not let Lady Lin come out to take over this scene, Qiu Lady Lan could only continue to come by herself.

"Want to humiliate my niece by the mouth of a slave? Dream! Empress Jiang snorted coldly in her heart, "When I am dead?" ”

"The county lord of Ningyi has already left the cabinet, even if he is not out of the cabinet, the parents of the county lord of Ningtai are here, such a big matter, the king of Xihe and his wife have not come to speak, how can the county lord of Ningyi be able to bear it?" That Lady Zheng and Lady Lin are also old rivals, and when she heard this, she frowned slightly, and said in an indifferent tone, "And the county lord of Ningyi once ignored his relatives and concealed his relatives, and exposed the king of Xihe for disrespecting his mother--it can be seen that the relationship with the county lord of Ningtai is far from being a deep sisterhood!" This will be Xihe Wang and his wife did not come, how can the one-sided words of the county lord of Ning Yi be credible! ”

To be honest, Qiu Yulan also felt that the current scene was a mess - when she and Qiu Jinzhu came over, Tang Zimo and Qiu Dian were there, but Queen Jiang, who arrived later, said, "There are private matters in the backyard, and it is not appropriate to let too many outsiders intervene before finding out", and sent them out.

The queen did this because she received news on the way, Qiu Jinzhu was in love with Qingwu, worried that Tang Zimo and others would stay, and the scene of many people and people could not be controlled well.

The problem is that although Empress Jiang is in control of the scene, she has sent many people away, and only a few people are in this palace - but Qiu Mengmin and his wife are definitely going to come, but this couple has not appeared until now!

Now that Lady Zheng has spoken to them, Empress Dowager Gu and Empress Jiang also feel that something is wrong, and asked the palace people at the door together: "Is there any news that the Xihe King and his wife want to see?" ”

"Back to the two mothers, no." The palace people went out of the palace to ask around, and hurriedly came back to say, "The king of Xihe and his wife have not yet arrived at the palace gate!" ”

Hearing this, everyone in the hall was very surprised: "Could it be that Qiu Mengmin simply didn't want this daughter directly?" But even if this is the case, he will finally enter the palace to make an announcement, right? ”

"Send someone to the Qiu family's courtyard to spread the word!" Empress Dowager Gu pondered for a while and commanded categorically.

Qiu Mengmin and his wife have not yet arrived, and the people in the hall will not be idle.

At that time, the Empress Dowager Gu seized Qiu Yulan's previous grievances with the uncle's family, and questioned the reason why she took the initiative to give Qiu Jinzhu out this time - of course, Qiu Yulan was not to be outdone, and insisted that she and the uncle's family were always relatives no matter how noisy they were: "Does the Queen Mother think that the courtiers should not give their cousin a head, and even fall into the hole for their cousin!" ”

Empress Jiang also laughed casually: "Queen Mother, how can this family have a grudge the next day?" What's more, wasn't King Xihe also deceived by those servants before he disobeyed his mother's order? Lord Ningyi is magnanimous and repays grievances with virtue, we should reward rather than question, right? ”

Empress Dowager Gu was not angry at this time, and said indifferently: "The empty words of white teeth are not enough to be believed, and wait for Qiu Mengmin and the others to come and discuss it." "I really don't know what your Jiang family wants to delay time? It's just that the mourning family also wants to drag it out until Ming'er now-after all, it proves that Qiu Jinglan instructed the county lord of Ningtai to seduce the nominal grandson of the mourning family, Guo Qingwu...... It takes time, too!

So everyone in the palace fought a mocking battle for a long time, and finally waited for the palace people who went to spread the word to Qiu Mengmin and his wife to come back and restore their lives, but the result was very unexpected: Qiu Mengmin and his wife didn't know that they had to enter the palace to ask for guilt...... It's that they can't come.

At least not for the time being.

The reason why he couldn't come is also very simple: Qiu Mengmin was furious when she heard that her daughter had done such an ugly thing, and the side concubine Bian and her eldest daughter-in-law Ding Qinghong were provoking on the side...... So after he returned to the other courtyard, he didn't meet Qiu Jinzhu, who went to the Jiang family's courtyard to find Qiu Yulan earlier, so he rushed over to settle accounts with Princess Yang!

And Princess Yang was also very angry, her biological daughter suffered such a big loss and made a lot of trouble, she didn't know who to tell her about this injustice! This eye joint is on the autumn Meng Min also has a mouthful of "cheap. How did the woman raise her daughter", "I know that your Yang family's bloodline does not abide by the way of women", Princess Yang really couldn't bear it, and she jumped up and fought with him in a fit of anger!

She was a woman, although she grabbed Qiu Mengmin a few handfuls at the beginning, but she was soon beaten by Qiu Mengmin on the ground in turn - of course, Princess Yang was beaten and scarred, and she was directly unconscious, and she couldn't enter the palace in a short time.

And Qiu Mengmin ...... His face was scratched like a cat by Princess Yang's long nails, and he was in a hurry to stop the bleeding and rub the medicine, and he couldn't meet the nobles.

"This Qiu family is so messy, how the hell is it!" Hearing this, Empress Dowager Gu glanced at Qiu Yulan gloomily, and said to Empress Jiang with a sneer, "What's so strange about such a family raising an unruly daughter!" ”

Where was Empress Jiang willing to let her: "The family is not a good thing, the daughter-in-law remembers that the biological mother of the cold family abandoned her son and eloped with the family property after her husband died-just ask the bloodline of such a shameless woman, and how well-behaved he can be expected to be? !" ”

"There is a saying in the market that flies don't stare at seamless eggs, if Ning Tai is a chaste person, what if many people seduce her?" Empress Dowager Gu sneered, "In the final analysis, she is frivolous!" ”

Qiu Jinzhu heard this, and her heart was cold: The queen mother said that she was frivolous, can she still live? If you are lucky enough to survive, what future is there? Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at Guan Qingwu again - this time Guan Qingwu was not looking at her, but looked at the quarrel between the two queens with an indifferent expression.

But it was Qiu Yulan who was standing in front of her, Shi Shiran spoke: "Queen Mother, if the cousin of the courtiers is frivolous, then Qingwu deserves death?!" Moreover, the cousin of the courtier's wife has not yet reached the age of time, who is not young and ignorant? ”

Empress Dowager Gu glanced at her in disgust, and said coldly, "Why do you plan to teach the mourning family to deal with this matter?!" ”
