As soon as the Queen Mother spoke, she didn't care about the cause of the epidemic in the Qingqiu Palace, but first excused Concubine Ling, with a threatening meaning, Mo Guhan was a little annoyed when she heard it in her heart, and frowned.

In the past, the Queen Mother was not without favoritism, he felt that it didn't matter, and even most of the time he pushed the boat along the river, allowing Concubine Ling to be arrogant and domineering in the harem. But now is different from the past, today he also has someone in his heart who needs to be favored and protected, and the two clashed, and the Queen Mother's approach made him disgusted for no reason.

"There is a lot involved in this matter, and he is a little eunuch who says that he does not have such great courage and such great ability. Not to mention anything else, where did this poison of typhoid fever come from? The queen mother knew that even if the eunuch had the opportunity to leave the palace, he would have to be strictly searched when he entered and exited, and he was not allowed to carry his personal information. ”

The Queen Mother was not in a hurry, and nodded confidently: "What the emperor said is very true, it seems that he must have a fellow party in the palace, and he needs to be investigated deeply, and he would rather be in vain." ”

Yan turned his head to look at the little eunuch on the ground, bent down and asked seductively, "The mourning family asks you, where did this poison come from?" Who gave it to you with his own hands? ”

The little eunuch looked up at the Queen Mother's sharp eyes, a cold war, hurriedly trembling and prostrate on the ground, and begged in a wailing voice: "The Queen Mother is Mingjian, the little one is just confused for a while, greedy for money, and instructed by others." The villains all obeyed the orders of the palace man Shui Yao, and they categorically did not dare to murder the queen! The poison was also given by Shui Yao, and the slave was confused. ”

The Queen Mother straightened up with satisfaction and sneered: "That's right, confess honestly, and you won't suffer again for a while." It turned out that it was the bold maid who was doing tricks, and summoned her to ask her, and she didn't know. ”

Without waiting for Mo Guhan to respond, he turned his head and commanded the people around him: "Where is Shui Yao's girl?" Pass it on. ”

The palace people took the order to go down, but after a while, they brought the trembling palace maid Shui Yao up, knelt at the feet of the queen mother, and trembled like chaff.

Mo Guhan immediately had a bad premonition in his heart, feeling that he was afraid that he was a bad move today.

Sure enough, as soon as the Queen Mother asked, Shui Yao immediately took all the sins, and defended Concubine Ling with a wail: "Last time in Ruian Palace, the queen slapped her maid in front of everyone, causing her to be laughed at by the palace people. The servant has always held a grudge and waited for an opportunity to take revenge.

It happened that on the 25th day, the emperor invited a rat trainer to perform a rat marrying a girl in the Qingqiu Palace, and there happened to be a plague spread among the people, so he had such a plan in his heart. I used the money I saved to buy off the little eunuch in the Qingqiu Palace, and promised that after the matter was completed, I would beg Niang Niang to call the shots and marry him to him, and lure him in every possible way.

Then the servant inquired around, and found typhoid fever and drunk him for three days. At the beginning, because the queen's mother was heavily guarded and couldn't start, she first put the poison on the body of the palace people in Qingqiu Palace.

Sure enough, after examination, the people in the Tai Hospital mistakenly thought it was a plague epidemic, closed the Qingqiu Palace, and isolated all the poisoned palace people. There were fewer people around the queen to serve, and they were not so vigilant, so he took the opportunity to get it. All the things are done by the slave and maid alone, and it has nothing to do with Concubine Ling, and the maid is willing to be punished. ”

Shui Yao took a salary from the bottom of the kettle and cleared up Concubine Ling's involvement.

Concubine Ling breathed a sigh of relief visibly and glanced at the Queen Mother gratefully.

Mo Guhan didn't believe it, he knew that the Queen Mother was favoring Concubine Ling, and he also knew that it must be Shui Yao who ran to ventilate the news, begging the Queen Mother to come and save her master. He also knew that it must be the Queen Mother Professor Shui Yao who would bear all the blame. He knows it all, but what's the use? If he wants to cure Concubine Ling's crimes, he must have evidence and witnesses.

All the things must have been done by Concubine Ling to explain to Shui Yao, and it was the palace people below who came forward, and the palace people could naturally take the blame.

The Queen Mother looked at Mo Guhan with a smile: "Look, Your Majesty, isn't this the truth revealed?" You see that you listened to her instigation, and as soon as you came back, you indiscriminately reprimanded Ling'er, hurting the feelings between you. ”

"I don't believe that a servant of her would dare to do such a bold thing. Layer by layer, layer by layer, I am bound to get to the bottom of it, find out clearly, and pay off the people in the Autumn Palace a fair. ”

"The facts are there, and the two of them have all confessed, what else is there to investigate? Does the emperor have to bend into a trick and blame all the sins on Ling'er before he is willing? ”

Concubine Ling knelt down on the ground, tears rippled, and she couldn't cry: "It's because the concubine is not strict in discipline, and with such a ruthless subordinate, it's no wonder that the emperor misunderstood." It's all the sins of the concubine, please ask the emperor to condemn it. ”

"Nonsense! If someone commits a crime and the master bears the responsibility, at your birthday banquet, there are different palace people in the Qingqiu Palace who secretly do things and want to plot against you, how will the emperor deal with it? Is it the same? ”

The Queen Mother pulled up the past and was aggressive.

Even if the Queen Mother was strong, Mo Guhan was helpless: "Does the Queen Mother have to compare these two things?" Since the queen entered the palace, she has been repeatedly conspired against, and every time she has covered up the past with no place, she has never been given a fair and just statement. That's why they will intensify their efforts and become less and less concerned about the queen. In the long run, where is the royal authority? ”

"Your Majesty!" The Queen Mother interrupted him sharply: "Have you forgotten what the identity of the queen is?" ”

After speaking, Fang Fang realized that he was a little speechless, and turned his head and waved his hand at everyone in the palace: "Let's all go down, the mourning family has something to say to the emperor." ”

All the people retreated in turn, including Concubine Ling.

The Queen Mother looked at Mo Guhan and softened her tone: "Your Majesty, that Chu Yuehua is a member of the Chang family, are you really fascinated by her?" Even for her to ignore the relationship between you and Ling'er for many years? ”

Mo Guhan slowly turned around, faced his mother, and said bitterly: "It is true that Chu Yuehua is the person selected by the Empress Dowager to enter the palace, but since she entered the palace, she has been strict with herself and lenient with others, and even did not want her own life in order to save me.

So, I believe her. But look at what they did? Because of jealousy, planting, framing, and even poisoning and killing, one case is more filthy than the other! If I continue to indulge like this, what will my harem look like? ”

"This matter has nothing to do with Ling'er!"

"It doesn't matter if it matters, the queen mother knows better than her sons!"

The Queen Mother was stunned in place, a little incredulous: "You actually talk to the Queen Mother like this?" ”

Mo Guhan reluctantly suppressed the anger in his heart, and said word by word: "Today, I must severely punish Shen Xinling and give justice to the people in Qingqiu Palace." ”

"Ridiculous!" The Queen Mother opened her eyes angrily, and said indignantly: "Today's matter is over, this little eunuch and Emperor Shui Yao are willing to deal with it, the mourning family will not interfere, and it is enough to block the mouths of everyone in the Qingqiu Palace." However, Concubine Ling, you will never move! ”

"Why can't you move? Just because she is your niece after the mother? ”

"Your Majesty!" The Queen Mother said earnestly: "The mourning family has always thought that you will focus on the overall situation and will not be tied up by the love of your children." But look at how bad things are for you right now! Now that Jun Shuyuan is dead, Concubine He's face is ruined, Ling'er and Concubine Ya have been demoted by you, and she Chu Yuehua's family is dominant, covering the sky with one hand.

Moreover, there is also a Chang Lingyan in the Chang family who is eyeing him outside the palace. The Empress Dowager left a hand, and she may be summoned into the palace at any time, and she will join hands with Chu Yuehua to monopolize the harem!

Ling'er and they are here, and they can barely contain her Chu Yuehua, if Ling'er is abolished by you, half of this Chang'an court is the world of her Chang family, and the harem will also be occupied by the Chang family. The most important thing is that if you want to get rid of the Chang family, it will be even more difficult, and your hard work for more than ten years will be in vain! ”

The Queen Mother spoke bitterly, and Mo Guhan was silent for a long time.

The queen mother thought that he was beginning to waver, and continued to persuade: "It's just that you and that Chu Yuehua are acting on the spot, the emperor must remember that whoever is close and who is sparse is the one who is loyal to you." This harem is closely related to the court, and you must not be sloppy ......"

The Queen Mother chattered and persuaded, and Mo Guhan suddenly raised his head, looked at the Queen Mother, and had a cold face: "Queen Mother, you look very much like the Queen Mother now." ”

The Queen Mother's voice immediately stopped abruptly, as if it was a crisp lotus root, cut in two by a sharp knife, and after a crisp "click", it fell silent.

She looked at Mo Guhan in astonishment, his gaze was like two ice blades, piercing her heart, in addition to the pain, it was also a little cold.

"Your Majesty," she trembled her lips, and word by word popped out of her mouth, with bitterness: "The mourning family is all for your good?" ”

"The Empress Dowager is also under the banner of being for me and for Chang'an, and she is trying her best to win over her own power and consolidate her position. Queen Mother, what is the difference between what you have done over the years and that of the Queen Mother?

You arrange your own people above the court, install their daughters or sisters in the harem, and you interfere in all the lives of your courtiers, including which concubine you pamper, you arrange them properly.

I have only been fortunate enough to canonize a woman, Jun Wan, but you can't tolerate her in your heart, and once you catch her, you will immediately poison her. If it were, the people in Merlin that day were not Jun Wan, but Concubine Ling, what would you do? You will also be partial. It's not because they're good, it's because they're your people!

Erchen can imagine that now the Empress Dowager is suppressing you everywhere, and all your skills cannot be displayed, so you can only plan secretly. One day, a hundred years after the Empress Dowager, if the Chang family collapses, then the second one to rise up will be you!

You will inevitably let your retainers reuse your power in the court, because you want to be the second empress dowager who calls for wind and rain, and you want the Shen family to become the second Chang family! ”

Mo Guhan's words hit the nail on the head and pierced into the queen mother's heart, she staggered back a few steps, and her face suddenly turned pale.

After a while, she slowly raised her hand weakly, pointed at Mo Guhan, and wanted to say something. But he didn't say a word, and then, his hand fell down, and the man fell to the ground limply.
