One hundred and seventy-three, without support
"Hmph, now, of course, you can say whatever you want, but black is black, white is white, it's not that you say black is white, black will really become white."
Empress Dowager Zhou glanced at Scatter, she was already a little dissatisfied with Jian Huaizhen, and of course she was even more dissatisfied with Scatter.
Because Zero Luo often relies on Jian Huaizhen's prestige on weekdays to collide with her, the Queen Mother of Zhou, when she thought that Zero Luo was a collision with her own majesty, and she never put herself as the Queen Mother in her eyes, so when Zero Luo replied like this, she refuted it like this.
Scattered sighed, I didn't know what to say for a while, in this case, the happiest person was Wan Zhen'er.
Wan Zhen'er felt that her strategy of killing two birds with one stone was really good, one could get rid of the queen, and the other could borrow the hand of the Empress Dowager Zhou to get rid of Tang Jingran, which was really a double win, and then the harem would be her own world.
Although there is still a little gap between things and what she imagined, that is, Queen Wang did not die because of this, but Queen Wang is now unconscious, which is also good news for Wan Zhen'er, and now that Queen Wang is unconscious, I am afraid that her fetus will be difficult to save.
Then the queen is nothing, she wants to seize power from the queen and the queen, it is an easy thing, she doesn't care about the queen's false title now, but hopes that she can hold more power in her hands, and when the time comes, she can restrain the emperor, and secondly, she is not afraid that she will be criticized by others because of her birth.
"Since the queen mother said that Bing Yi was involved in the whole thing, shouldn't we find Bing Yi first and ask the whole thing clearly? Maybe this has nothing to do with Shock? ”
Zhu Jianshen's tone couldn't help but relax a little.
Zhu Jianshen turned his face to Zero Luo and said, "Zero Luo, you have always been a safe person, you hurry up and go to Yonghe Palace to bring Bing Yi over to confront you." ”
"Yes." Scattered agreed.
She felt that if she could find Bing Yi, she would be able to save Tang Jingran's current predicament.
So, she hurriedly walked to the Yonghe Palace, and when she arrived at the palace, she found that she hadn't seen Bing Yi for a long time, and she didn't know where Bing Yi had gone.
So, she went to ask the eunuchs and palace maids, but the eunuchs and palace maids didn't know where Bing Yi went.
The result of the inquiry made her feel very surprised, that is, not only did she not know where Bing Yi went, but even Bing Yi's sister, the little palace maid of the washing bureau, Bing Ning, was gone, and the two sisters seemed to have suddenly evaporated from the world, which was really strange.
After searching around for a long time but not finding it, she had no choice but to return to Kunning Palace.
Zhu Jianshen was a little surprised to see her come back alone, and asked, "Zero, didn't I order you to bring Bing Yi back just now?" Why did it take you so long to come back, and you were the only one who came back, what happened? ”
Ling Luo looked at Zhu Jianshen helplessly, and said: "Your Majesty, the slave maid almost turned over the Yonghe Palace just now, but she didn't find Bing Yi's shadow, Bing Yi she may ——。 ”
Speaking of which, Zero couldn't go on.
"What about the ice?" Zhu Jianshen was taken aback and hurriedly asked.
Zero shook his head and said: "The slave is just speculation, and the slave and maid really don't know where Bing Yi went, maybe someone wanted to blame our mother for this matter, so they bought Bing Yi, and then secretly transported Bing Yi and her sister Bing Ning away!" ”
"What, Bing Yi's sister is gone? It's too much to think about. ”
After hearing this, Zhu Jianshen shook his sleeves fiercely, and said angrily: "This matter is clearly that someone has already planned and planned, I didn't expect this to happen in this harem, I really didn't expect it." ”
Empress Dowager Zhou snorted coldly and said, "Your Majesty, haven't you been in this harem for a day or two, do you think there is some fun place in the harem?" The affairs of this harem are always beyond your imagination. ”
was refuted by the Empress Dowager Zhou, and Zhu Jianshen didn't know what to say for a while.
Empress Dowager Zhou didn't want to lose face to the emperor in front of everyone, so she turned to a gentle tone and said to Zhu Jianshen: "This matter has become obvious so far, someone didn't want Bing Yi to leak the truth of the matter, so he killed Bing Yi." ”
"After all, the queen mother has not found Bing Yi, and Bing Yi's body has not been found, how can we just judge like this, if this is the case, we will wronged the good people."
Zhu Jianshen protested strongly.
Empress Dowager Zhou snorted coldly and said: "Since Bing Ye has already seen people dead and no corpses, then let's go and check it, how big can this harem be, let people search all the harem, and the mourning family will not believe that they can't find Bing Yi." ”
So, the eunuchs and palace maids agreed, and they turned almost the entire Forbidden City over to find Bing Yi or Bing Yi's corpse.
Sure enough, after only looking for more than an hour, Bing Yi's body was found in the alley behind Yonghe Palace.
The ice was also buried in the alley, but because the soil here had just been loosened and looked very soft, it was easy to arouse the suspicion of the searchers, who easily dug it down, and finally found that Bingyi's body was buried inside.
After Bing Yi's body was found, Empress Dowager Zhou became more and more violent.
She said to Zhu Jianshen: "The emperor has done so far, do you think there is any other explanation for this matter?" Do you think Bing Yi's death was just a coincidence? Do you think Bing Yi's death will have nothing to do with Tang Jingran? In this harem, there is only one person who can do martial arts, and Tang Jingran can invisibly kill Bing Yi and her sister Bing Ning, who can kill Bing Yi and Bing Ning in this harem except Tang Jingran? Your Majesty, you are the king of a country, you can't be partial! ”
Zhu Jianshen was slightly stunned when he heard what Empress Dowager Zhou said, but he still shook his head and said: "Mother, although what you said has some truth, but Erchen doesn't believe that Shocking is the murderer of Bing Yi anyway, and what reason does Shocked Ran have for her to kill Bing Yi?" ”
"You kid is so stubborn!"
Empress Dowager Zhou couldn't help but get anxious, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and said, "Why is everything you say in favor of Tang Jingran?" Why do you say that Tang Jingran has nothing to do with Bing Yi's death? Among so many people, Tang Jingran is the most suspicious one, the emperor thinks that if Tang Jingran ordered people to send persimmons and pearl crabs to the queen's palace one after another, so that the queen was poisoned after taking these two things, then Tang Jingran would of course kill Bing Yi in order to kill people. ”
Zhu Jianshen still refused to believe Empress Dowager Zhou's words, on the one hand, he didn't believe Empress Dowager Zhou's words because she knew Tang Jingran very well, he felt that Tang Jingran was not such a person, and on the other hand, the reason why he refused to believe it was because she knew that Tang Jingran had been infected with her own Gu poison, and she thought that she was no longer as smart as before, so no matter what Empress Dowager Zhou said, he refused to believe it.
Empress Dowager Qian also persuaded Empress Dowager Zhou on the side: "The matter of Empress Dowager Zhou has not been investigated and judged so far, we have only found Bingyi's corpse now, and we can't determine who killed the corpse, in this case, we might as well wait for a while and wait until the eldest princess comes back to deal with this matter, right?" ”
"Nonsense!" Empress Dowager Zhou's heavy shooting.
And said to the Empress Dowager Qian: "Empress Dowager Qian, I think you are old and confused, in this harem, it has always been the queen mother who has always been in charge, when will she be the eldest princess." ”
Empress Dowager Qian retorted: "The eldest princess, she has always been an elder. ”
Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by the Empress Dowager Zhou.
Empress Dowager Zhou glanced at her very dissatisfied, and said with some disdain: "What if she is an elder, it is true that the mourning family also respects the eldest princess very much, but the eldest princess is already old, so she should be well raised in the harem for a thousand years, and should not care about these messy things anymore, Empress Dowager Qian, do you think what I said is right?" ”
Empress Dowager Qian was so angry for a while that she couldn't speak for a long time.
When Empress Dowager Zhou saw that Empress Dowager Qian didn't speak, she thought that she knew that she was in the wrong, so she pressed forward step by step and looked at her proudly.
Seeing this, Zhu Jianshen just sighed there, he knew that Tang Jingran was already very dangerous at this moment, if the Empress Dowager Zhou insisted on dealing with Tang Jingran, then in the end, he could only cause himself and the Empress Dowager Zhou's mother and son to turn against each other, so he was very reluctant in his heart.
But in any case, this matter still has to be a very difficult choice for him.
Empress Dowager Qian was so angry that Empress Dowager Zhou almost brushed her sleeves and left, but she couldn't help but stop when she thought of Jian Huaizhen's care for her in the past.
She said to the Empress Dowager Zhou: "Okay, since the Empress Dowager Zhou said that the queen mother of the two palaces is in charge of the harem, then there are some things to explain to the mourning family, the mourning family is also one of the queen mothers of the two palaces, and the mourning family is on the title, and the mourning family's character is still above you, that is, the mourning family has the final say in the harem?" ”
"You, you, you."
Empress Dowager Zhou said three words in a row, and she didn't say the following words again for a long time.
Empress Dowager Zhou didn't expect that Empress Dowager Qian, who had always been indisputable with the world, would actually use the majesty of the Empress Dowager to oppress people at this time, which made her feel very depressed and strange.
But in any case, she knew that Empress Dowager Qian opened her mouth, and she was afraid that she would have to restrain her.
Although the Empress Dowager Qian is compared with her Empress Dowager Zhou, she has no heirs in this palace, although the emperor is also a little cold to the Empress Dowager Qian on weekdays, but there is still basic respect on weekdays.
And as the days passed, the emperor seemed to feel more and more that some of what the Empress Dowager Qian said was very reasonable, and he was more and more willing to get close to her and listen to her reasoning, which made the Empress Dowager Zhou feel very uneasy. Therefore, when she saw that Empress Dowager Qian was desperately trying to keep Tang Jingran, she immediately became entangled in her heart.
She thought: If the Empress Dowager Qian is doing this, does she want to entrap the emperor and separate the feelings of our mother and son, if she wants to envelop the emperor, if I happen to fall out with my son at this time, it is not with her Empress Dowager Qian's wishes.
But let the Empress Dowager Zhou let Tang Jingran go so easily, she still felt no pain in her heart, after all, she was the emperor's biological mother, and she had always been used to acting alone in this harem.
When Jian Huaizhen was there on weekdays, she still tabooed Jian Huaizhen for three points, but now that Jian Huaizhen has gone out, she originally thought that she was in charge of this harem, who knew that there was a Queen Mother Qian on the way, and the emperor now fully supports Queen Mother Qian, she had no choice but to weigh the weight again.
In the end, she decided that no matter what, it was better to follow the emperor's wishes first, after all, some people can never get it again once they lose it, and some things can never come back once they are missed.
If she and the emperor's mother and son have a discordant relationship, if they want to mend it again, it will inevitably be difficult for the two of them to have a mustard in their hearts, and this Tang Jingran is the woman the emperor loves so much, since this is the case, let's press it down first, if there is real evidence, she will not let Tang Jingran go anyway.
In fact, Empress Dowager Zhou did this, not because she was very targeted at Tang Jingran, but she knew that Tang Jingran had assassinated the emperor, and the emperor was her most distressed son, so she felt that Tang Jingran staying by the emperor's side was always a threat, if one day, Tang Jingran launched a madness to do something to the emperor, then what should I do.
Second, she always felt that most of the queen's incident had something to do with Tang Jingran, if it had nothing to do with Tang Jingran, why did everything point to Tang Jingran?
And before Tang Jingran, he was the most favored in the harem, and recently after the queen Wang became pregnant with an heir, she was in the limelight in the palace for a while, and it was inevitable that Tang Jingran would be unconvinced.
In fact, it is understandable for the Empress Dowager Zhou to think so, but she knows that she can't convince the emperor no matter what, and the rich Empress Dowager is making a hindrance on the side, so the Empress Dowager Zhou decided to take a step back first and open the sky.
So, she softened her tone and said to the emperor in a serious tone: "Your Majesty, the reason why the mourning family is against you everywhere, and the reason why the mourning family wants to punish this Tang Jingran is nothing more than for your sake, but the mourning family is always your biological mother, and the mourning family will start from your interests no matter what you do, since you think that this matter may have nothing to do with Tang Jingran, then the mourning family will promise you to let Tang Jingran go first, but once you find out what is really based on evidence, the mourning family will definitely not spare it; There is one more thing, that is, the queen is unconscious now, when you want to be fine, go to accompany the queen more, don't indulge in Yonghe Palace every day, as an emperor, the most important thing is that the rain and dew are even, you know. ”
Empress Dowager Zhou's regression made Zhu Jianshen a little stunned.
He looked at the Empress Dowager Zhou in a daze for a long time before nodding and saying, "I have taken everything you said to heart, don't worry, I will definitely do what you tell me." ”
Since Empress Dowager Zhou is so stubborn that she is willing to take a step back, then Zhu Jianshen is of course not easy to refute her face, and just took the opportunity to borrow a step to go down, so the mother and son reconciled as before.
At this time, the most angry person was Wan Zhen'er, who was kneeling behind.
Wan Zhen'er knelt behind her and didn't show anything, as if nothing had happened, in fact, she saw all this in her heart, she thought that Tang Jingran would be punished no matter what today.
As soon as she thought that Tang Jingran would be severely punished by the Empress Dowager of the Two Palaces, she felt very happy in her heart, but what she didn't expect at all was that the Empress Dowager Zhou, who had always been aggressive, actually listened to the opinions of the Empress Dowager Qian and the emperor at a critical juncture, and let Tang Jingran go, which made her feel how depressed she was.
So the matter was over, and everyone went back to the palace.
After Zero Luo returned to the palace with Tang Jingran, Tang Jingran couldn't understand why Bing Yi died for no reason, after she begged Bing Yi, she always regarded Bing Yi as her own person, and Bing Yi often accompanied her by her side to relieve her boredom, telling her some jokes, just like being a sister, and now Bing Yi died for no reason, she didn't know who did it after thinking about it, and this matter involved herself.
When she thought of the sinister situation in the harem, she only felt melancholy in her heart, and two tears involuntarily remained.
This Miao Jiang's Gu poison is indeed very powerful, Tang Jingran was originally a woman with a noble mind, but because of the Gu poison, her entire mind is no longer her own, and she is completely out of her control. She often thinks about things on the pessimistic side, rather than the truth of the facts.
After coming back, he couldn't help but marvel in his heart when he saw Tang Jingran there full of sorrow and wept secretly.
She looked at the yellow plantain outside the window, and thought: I don't know where the princess is at this moment, and I don't know when the princess will come back, I just hope that the princess can be safe and sound and come back soon.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt gloomy, in this harem, although it was indeed a sword and sword, bloody wind and rain, and she was used to seeing it on weekdays, but what happened before still caught her a little off guard, she didn't know why the previous things happened, obviously everything was spring breeze and rain, why did it suddenly become stormy?
And this incident was so unusual that she didn't react at all.
Thinking of this, Zero had to sigh secretly there.
Not to mention that there are many knots in this Yonghe Palace, but it is said that Wan Zhen'er in the Xianfu Palace is only trembling with anger when she sits there.
Her hand slapped heavily on the Huanghuali rosewood case, and said: "I'm really angry, I didn't expect that this matter was clearly done by Tang Jingran, all the evidence points to Tang Jingran, the emperor actually defended her like this, the emperor maintained her like this, the emperor maintained her everywhere, and the Empress Dowager Qian was also maintained everywhere, and the Empress Dowager Qian was not alone, and what I didn't expect was that the Empress Dowager Zhou changed her hexagram at the most critical juncture, and also stood on Tang Jingran's side, is it in vain that the palace has done all this?" It's really infuriating. ”
Seeing this, Mama Chen hurriedly stepped forward to comfort and said: "Niangniang, don't worry first, everything Niangniang has done will not have no effect, the so-called endure the sea and the sky for a while, take a step back and calm the waves, Niangniang should not be too angry, so as not to hurt your body!" ”
"Hmph, in this case, how can I not be angry, if I hadn't thought bad for a while, and let the emperor give Tang Jingran Gu poison, let Tang Jingran obey the emperor, and the emperor also loves her well, how can she fall to this point today, who in the harem now doesn't know that the first thing is to be honored as the queen, because the queen is pregnant with an heir, and the second is to be honored with Tang Jingran, because Tang Jingran is the emperor's favorite woman, who still puts our Xianfu Palace in his eyes now?"
The more Wan Zhen'er spoke, the more angry she became, and the more she spoke, the more she couldn't help it.
Mama Chen said to her earnestly: "Niangniang, don't be too angry, it's not good to hurt your body, there are so many women in this harem, which woman can be favored forever and grace forever?" Tang Jingran is only a temporary thing, Niangniang must not hurt her body for this, Niangniang, you think, this Tang Jingran is now favored by the emperor, but she doesn't even know who she is, what's so good about such a favor, not to mention that we are calculating for a long time, not a city and a place, Niangniang, the slave has a sentence I don't know if to say it? ”
"Say!" Wan Zhen'er is crisp and neat.
Mama Chen said respectfully: "Niangniang, the slave knows that Niangniang has some resentment towards the emperor in her heart now, but in any case, now Niangniang only relies on the emperor, if there is no emperor, then Niangniang will not get anyone's attention, the slave has a suggestion, I don't know if Niangniang is willing to listen?" ”
"Mama Chen, you've been with me for so long, if you have anything to say, just say it, why beat around the bush!"
Wan Zhen'er said with some dissatisfaction.
Mama Chen reluctantly smiled: "Niangniang, in the past, the queen would not have been favored by the emperor, but now because the queen is pregnant with an heir, so she has been favored by the emperor, if the mother can also have a child, then she will definitely get more favor from the emperor in the future, even if she is not favored by the emperor, the mother still has something to rely on, and you don't have to worry that you have no place in this harem in the future!" ”
Wan Zhen'er heard Mama Chen say this, she was stunned for a long time, and finally nodded slowly and said: "Mama Chen, you are right, for the sake of long-term planning, it seems that this palace must have a child, but giving birth to a child is not something that can be born if the mourning family wants to!" ”
When she said this, she couldn't help but have a little more regret in her eyes.
How did Mama Chen not know what Wan Zhen'er was worried about? Although the emperor is still very young, Wan Zhen'er is already an old woman, if she gets pregnant and gives birth to a child at this time, it is already an advanced maternal age, which is quite dangerous, and whether she can conceive or not, it is also uncertain.
Mama Chen said to her: "Don't worry too much about this matter, leave everything to the slave maid to think about, the slave maid will go to ask Gu Lengyi Gu Gonggong to inquire as soon as possible, hoping to let Niangniang get pregnant as soon as possible." ”
