Chapter 171: Crisis
Looking at Concubine Wang Gong's expression, Jiang Zhi at this time suddenly remembered that Feng Chen was the eldest son of the first emperor, who was framed and hunted down by the palace people, so he was exiled.
And this so-called Empress Dowager Chen should be the one who killed Feng Chen in the first place, and now the two of them are meeting.
was discovered by Empress Dowager Chen that the person she had chased and killed for so many years was not dead, and she was still standing in front of her, even if she was weak-hearted, she would definitely lose her mouth.
Thinking like this, Jiang Zhi couldn't help but feel cold all over, this incident couldn't have happened so coincidentally.
There must be someone behind it, but who is this person, Qiu Chengyun, or Concubine De Niangniang, who just left, how did they know about this matter.
"The Queen Mother seemed to be very panicked, her face turned pale, she didn't say anything, she turned around and left."
Just when Jiang Zhi was thinking about it in her mind, the little inner supervisor on the side hurriedly shook her head and spoke.
Hearing this, Concubine Wang Gong's face still hadn't improved, and she looked at Jiang Zhi with a hint of calmness in her voice, and said:
"You and General Ma don't leave now, go to the Empress Dowager Li immediately and tell General Ma's life experience."
"The palace asked Xiao Rongzi to take you over, don't forget, say whatever you know, after leaving the palace, make the matter bigger, it's best to let the people in the capital know."
"Mother?"
Jiang Zhi looked at Concubine Wang Gong, and had already guessed seven or eight points in her heart, but she didn't understand, how did Concubine Wang Gongfei know, and helped her like this, if she didn't figure it out, she was really afraid that there was a huge conspiracy.
"You don't have to think about it so much, you have kindness to this palace, but you may not know that the time is too late, go with General Ma now, otherwise you will definitely be in big trouble."
"Go quickly, I can only help you with this, and the rest of the things, this palace can't help, it depends on your creation."
Concubine Wang Gong shook her head and nudged Jiang Zhi, she didn't know if this method would work, but at least she had to give it a try.
In the impression of the previous life, what the Empress Dowager Chen did at the beginning, the Empress Dowager Li was not at all, and she only knew about it after the incident.
It was also after that time that the Empress Dowager Chen was confined, and the Empress Dowager Li publicized that the Empress Dowager Chen was devoted to worshiping the Buddha, and built a separate Buddhist hall for the Empress Dowager Chen to live in, and never came out again.
So this time, she was also gambling, betting that after Empress Dowager Li knew about it, she would help Ma Qiancheng, but she didn't support it.
After all, this throne should have belonged to Ma Qiancheng, but now the person sitting on the dragon chair is her son, and everyone has selfish intentions, even if it is a transparent person like Empress Dowager Li, it is inevitable that it will be vulgar.
Jiang Zhi was anxious in her heart, although she didn't understand what Concubine Wang Gong was talking about, but she didn't need to lie to herself like this, and the stone of doubt fell to the ground temporarily.
He arched his hand at Concubine Wang Gong and followed the eunuch named Xiao Rongzi in the direction of Jiuqu Bridge, where they had to find Empress Dowager Li before Empress Dowager Chen could react.
…………
At this time, there was only a little sunset left, and it was time for dinner, Jiang Zhi and Feng Chen stood in front of the door of Kunhe Palace, waiting for Tong Bing.
After a while, a gorgeously dressed old palace daughter in her twenties walked out, looked at Jiang Zhi and Feng Chen, and asked:
"You are General Ma and Madam Qin?"
"Yes."
Feng Chen held Jiang Zhi's hand, let her relax, and said in a flat voice.
"Come with me, the Queen Mother agrees with you."
The old palace maid opened the door and led the two people inside, and said:
"But at this time, the Queen Mother is having dinner, you wait in the side hall first, and when the Queen Mother runs out, I will come and call you over."
After entering the side hall, the two of them waited for another half an hour before the old palace maid took them in to see the Empress Dowager Li, holding a book in her hand.
Seeing Jiang Zhi and Feng Chen, he stretched out his hand to excuse the two of them, and his eyes stayed on Feng Chen's body for a moment, slightly distracted.
Half a ring before he opened his mouth and asked:
"The mourning family remembers that the banquet is over, you two don't go out of the palace to return to the house, come to find the mourning family, what's the matter?"
Hearing this, Feng Chen opened his mouth, told everything that had happened, then lifted his robe, took a jade pendant, handed it to the old palace maid beside him, knelt on the ground, and said:
"Queen Mother, this jade pendant is a personal token of the minister, and it was left to me by my mother before she died."
"The minister's life experience was also found from Zhang Juzheng's four sons, the emperor passed away, and the minister never thought of pursuing it."
"The minister thinks that stability is the most important thing in the future, and the minister has always felt that being a general is more meaningful than being a prince, and the minister is willing to open up territory for the emperor."
"This is also what the minister has been doing, but today, when the minister saw the Empress Dowager Chen, he knew that this matter could not be hidden completely."
Feng Chen glanced at Empress Dowager Li's frowning eyebrows, and then said:
"The minister does not seek wealth and power, but the minister asks for the safety of the family, so I want to ask the queen mother to be the master and protect the safety of the minister's family."
Empress Dowager Li rubbed the jade pendant that had cracks in her hand, and she didn't say anything for a long time, and finally sighed softly, pointed to the chair on the side, and said:
"You sit down first, no wonder as soon as you come in, the mourning family thinks you are familiar, you look so similar to the princess's sister, it would be nice if you appeared earlier."
"The Queen Mother?"
Feng Chen heard the words of the Empress Dowager Li, no matter what, he still opened his mouth, he didn't want the Empress Dowager to think that he wanted the throne, it was too dangerous, and he didn't have this interest.
If he had this heart, he would have dealt with Zhang Juzheng and snatched what he wanted after knowing the news, but he had Jiang Zhi and wanted to live a plain life.
Empress Dowager Li waved her hand and said:
"You don't need to be nervous, your mother is the sister of the mourning family, a life-saving benefactor, if there is no her, there is no mourning family."
"It's just that now you have appeared too late, even if you are willing to mourn the family, the emperor may not be willing, let alone the ministers of the court."
"So...... The mourning family is sorry for you, Prince Xianhuai, he can only be a dead man forever. ”
Hearing this, Jiang Zhi's amber pupils suddenly locked, and she looked at Empress Dowager Li defensively, it turned out that these were all raccoon dogs, if it weren't for Feng Chen pulling her, she would have made a fuss at this time.
"You can only be Ma Qiancheng forever, and you will be the envoy of the stone pillar, but the mourning family will compensate you in other ways."
Empress Dowager Li looked at Feng Chen and said:
"You go back to this matter, don't worry, if Empress Dowager Chen makes a move, the mourning family will never spare her."
"Thank you, Queen Mother."
After getting an answer that satisfied him, Feng Chen's hanging heart was relieved, no matter what, he passed this level today.
When he leaves the palace and has a chance to breathe, he will have a back hand to keep.
