Chapter 431: The Law of Checks and Balances
"Yes. That...... If His Royal Highness has no other orders, the slave will go back to report to the Queen Mother? Father-in-law Jiang asked.
King Chen nodded and said, "There is Father-in-law Lao." ”
This time, King Chen did not reward the father-in-law who passed the decree. It's not that I forgot, but I don't want to tip.
Father-in-law Jiang exited the door and walked out of Zhaode Courtyard. When he walked past Bo Kai and Bo Mu's side, although he noticed these two people, he only pretended not to see them because he didn't know what their identities were, and he didn't know why they were waiting at the gate of Zhaodeyuan.
Bo Kai bowed to Father-in-law Jiang, and only straightened up when Father-in-law Jiang walked over.
His move naturally fell in the eyes of Gonggong Jiang. Jiang Zhongyi felt strange, thinking that if he was a slave in the palace, he would never give a salute to him who was also a slave, and if he was a person with a little status, he would not look down on a eunuch like him. Unless it is a grass people, they can see a person in the palace, and they treat them as big officials.
Still led by the previous servant, he took him out of the palace.
Bo Kai was still standing at the gate of Zhaode Courtyard, wanting to catch up and ask about the situation, but he saw that the little man in the palace had been following Gonggong Jiang, so that even if he caught up, he couldn't ask anything.
I was anxious for a while, calmed down a little, and after thinking about it, I had to give up.
Rong Yunxi saw that Bo Kai and Bo's mother were still at the door, and Xing'er was still crying in her arms, feeling that if she waited any longer, she would be a little sorry for the child. Then he said to King Chen: "I went out quietly and called the nurse in person." ”
King Chen looked at the door of the lower courtyard, frowned, and said, "It's at the door, no matter how quietly you are, it won't help." As soon as you go out, Bo Xinlan's mother will definitely come to you to make trouble. ”
King Chen turned around and handed the edict to Rong Yunxi. took Xing'er out of Rong Yunxi's arms, frowned, and said, "Look at what the imperial grandmother means." ”
Rong Yunxi took over the decree, only to see that what was written above was that King Chen would take care of the royal face, and only on the grounds that Concubine Bo misdisciplined the slaves and maids, causing Dongxue to recklessly collide with the master, he lowered Bo Xinlan's position and blamed Dongxue heavily. also deliberately said that she was also very sorry about the matter of Fumeiren, but since this child was not blessed to be born in this world, she should not add more lives to this matter, lest someone take his lead on the road to reincarnation.
And there has been a fake pregnancy of Lu Meiren before, and in Kyoto City, many people have regarded the private affairs of King Chen's Mansion as a conversation after tea and dinner, and they are talking about it with relish. So this time, don't make a big deal about the miscarriage of the Fumei people. Be sure to block the news of today's events, and only claim to the outside world that it is Fumei's weak body and bones that cannot protect this male fetus whose life is too valuable, so that it has a miscarriage.
also said that King Chen would be interested in appeasing Fumei and going to see her more. Don't make her feel that when the child is gone, King Chen's grace will be gone. Also, on Concubine Bo's side, although she did something wrong and demoted her position, she is the child's biological mother, which is a well-known thing. Therefore, Xing'er still has to let Concubine Bo take it, so as not to leave people criticized.
These explanations were written down by the Queen Mother herself. On this Zhang Yizhi, there is no lack of vigorous handwriting in the Queen Mother's graceful beauty.
The Queen Mother's arrangement can be described as detailed and detailed. But the most important meaning is that there are only two of them - Bo Xinlan and Dongxue can't be killed, and Xing'er still has to let his mother raise him.
"The imperial grandmother is really old and confused", King Chen said, "I haven't heard that she was a person who sells her reputation when she was young, why is she so old that she cares about her own face?" ”
Rong Yunxi said with a smile: "We can't care about the right or wrong of the imperial grandmother's arrangement. Since it is arranged by the elders, you have to sell face to it. Okay, don't be angry, the old people don't always have some strange requirements, just such a request, you should coax the old children to play! ”
King Chen shook his head and said, "Since the imperial grandmother has this will, I, as a junior, can't help but give her this face...... You went and called early summer, hurry up. ”
Rong Yunxi nodded, opened the back window directly, and shouted, "Early summer, you come in." ”
Here, Yunshang had already rushed to Yilan Courtyard with Mama Jin. Mama Jin was holding a silver tray in her hand, and what was in it was the things that had been prepared at this moment. Poisoned wine, white silk, and a dagger.
At this time, I was walking to the gate of Zhaode Courtyard, and when I saw the door of Zhaode Courtyard, Bo Kai and Bo Mu, the mother and son, didn't know what they were discussing. I didn't take it seriously, and walked over quickly.
"What are you going to do?" Bo Mu is arguing with Bo Kai and wants to ask Bo Kai what happened. Suddenly, I saw Mama Jin walking quickly towards Yilan Courtyard, and she was still holding such a tray in her hand, how could she not panic?
hurriedly stopped, and reached out to knock off the tray in Mama Jin's hand. But because Mama Jin had already taken precautions, she was busy dodging and opened Bo Mu's hand. But most of the poisonous wine in the cup was spilled because of this. The poisoned wine landed on the silver tray, and a "sizzle" was heard in an instant, and bubbles bubbled on the tray, and a large part of it turned black.
Bo's mother was completely dumbfounded when she saw such a situation. Rush up and open the tray again.
Yun Sheng hurriedly stopped her and scolded, "What are you doing here?" My daughter did something wrong, but now she is messing around like this, but do you want to be embarrassed? ”
Bo's mother only wanted to completely knock over the cup of poisoned wine, and only wanted to snatch the dagger and the white silk, and she must not let them use these things on her daughter's body...... Where do you have the heart to listen to Yunshang's words? just desperately tried to earn it to Mama Jin. But after all, when he is old, his strength is not as good as that of young people, and he can't earn Yunshang at all.
Mama Jin had already taken advantage of Yunshang to stop Bo's mother's efforts and walked quickly towards Yilan Courtyard.
Bo Mu hurriedly said to Bo Kai, who was standing aside: "What are you still doing in a daze?" They're going to kill your sister! Why don't you stop her soon? ”
Bo Kai naturally knew that Mama Jin was going to execute his sister, and he naturally wanted to save his sister, but he also knew that what was the use of stopping him? As long as King Chen's order to execute Xinlan is not withdrawn and Mama Jin is stopped, and there are other people who will do this, can he stop them one by one? I can't stop it.
So he didn't rush to help his mother, but was thinking about how to make King Chen take back his life.
But at this moment, I was so anxious, I didn't have anything in my head, and my heart was a mess, and I couldn't think of a clue at all.
Seeing that Mama Jin has gone farther and farther, it is natural to solve the crisis in front of her first, don't care what happens after that, delay for a moment! rushed up, wanting to stop Mama Jin.
Mama Jin heard the sound of footsteps rushing behind her, so she had to walk quickly. I thought to myself, what is this called! She just did what His Highness ordered, how could she act like a thief?
Mama Jin felt that if she also ran, it would be too unseemly. It's just a quick step, plus the old arms and legs, it's not as neat as thin open. Not long after, Bo Kai had already run to Mama Jin's side.
Just as he was about to stop Mama Jin, he heard a shout behind him: "Mama......"
Mama Jin heard the sound of early summer, and she didn't bother to play this game of cat and mouse with Bo Kai, so she simply let him stop it. Turning around, he asked, "Early Summer girl, what's the matter?" ”
Chuxia walked quickly and said, "Mama, Your Highness has an order...... Never mind. also said that the tired mother was busy with this trip. ”
Hearing Chu Xia's words, Bo Kai and Bo Mu didn't understand what they meant for a while.
Bo Kai just didn't dare to believe it for a while because the good thing came too suddenly. But Bo Mu was really a little confused, and asked directly: "Forget it, what do you mean?" ”
Chu Xia glanced at her, and her tone was quite friendly, and she said patiently; "'Forget it' means that His Royal Highness doesn't plan to kill Concubine Bo. Spare her life. ”
Hearing Chu Xia's words of affirmation, and seeing that she was quite kind, Bo Mu confirmed: "What the girl said...... Really? But what His Highness said personally? ”
"This is nature," Chu Xia said, "I am a maid of Zhaodeyuan, how dare I pass on the meaning of His Highness?" ”
Bo Mu still can't believe it. Although she saw that this girl's attitude was still good, she didn't dare to ask any more. Just look at her son and see what her son means.
At this time, Bo Kai had already eased up, knowing that the edict from Gonggong Jiang must have spared his sister. So he hurriedly gave a salute to Mama Jin, and said very decently: "Offend Mama." ”
Mama Jin also knew that it was impossible to joke about this matter in early summer. And he is also a person who has experienced a lot of wind and waves, what scene have you not seen? Naturally, he didn't take Bo Kai and Bo Mu's anxious reaction to heart.
He just said, "It's okay." Niangniang is blessed with a great life, and today's affairs, my uncle doesn't have to take it to heart. ”
Bo Kai apologized to Yunshang again, and Yunshang also spoke politely like Mama Jin.
In this moment's effort, Bo Kai and Bo Mu really experienced the change from the earth to the sky.
Seeing that there was nothing wrong with her here, Chu Xia didn't stay any longer, and turned around and went back to Zhaodeyuan.
Bo Mu stopped her and asked in a low voice apologetically: "Girl, Your Highness only said 'forget it' and didn't say anything else?" What else do you have to say? ”
Inevitably, Chu Xia didn't understand what she meant, so she deliberately said something specific: "For example, the child, and what happened before?" ”
Chu Xia shook his head and said, "Your Highness only said that I should stop Mama Jin to inform me that there is no need to torture ......"
After a pause, she reminded her motherly heart: "But the mistake made by Niangniang this time is quite big, although the capital crime can be avoided, but there are some other punishments." The old lady had better be prepared in her heart, and when His Highness gives the order, don't make such a fuss as just now...... His Highness is already very lenient. ”
