Chapter 717: The Queen Mother intervenes
The emperor obviously didn't expect the queen mother to come, and his footsteps stopped obviously. He took a few steps forward alone, as if he had calmed down, stopped, and turned around to wait for Rong Yunxi. Bian instructed Li Zhonggui: "Welcome the Queen Mother to sit in the house." Li Zhonggui answered, ran all the way to the backyard, and said that His Majesty and Niangniang would arrive soon, and let the Queen Mother sit in the house for a while.
The Queen Mother glanced around at the Yilan Palace at night...... Even from the outside, it's completely different from before.
Once it goes, it comes, but in this Weiyang Palace, no matter which dynasty, it is always intriguing, and it cannot stop for a moment.
The Queen Mother followed Li Zhonggui's guidance into the main hall of Yilan Palace, and sat directly on the main seat, without taking a closer look at this strange palace that was completely different from when she was here, just waiting for the emperor and Rong Yunxi to come over.
If it were in normal times, when the emperor was also there, she would never sit directly on the throne when she came to Rong Yunxi Palace, so she would have to avoid the emperor a little. But today is different, today she is clearly here to meddle in the affairs of the harem, so there is no need to be polite. I also want Chen'er to know that her intervention today is non-negotiable.
When the Queen Mother had just sat down, the emperor and Rong Yunxi entered the house. Qi Qi greeted the Queen Mother and waited for the Queen Mother's words.
"The emperor doesn't need to be polite, let's get up." The Queen Mother said.
The Queen Mother didn't say anything to let Rong Yunxi get up, so Rong Yunxi could only kneel. The emperor knew that the queen mother must have come for the matter of Bo Xinlan in Penglai Palace, so he hesitated for a moment and did not pull Rong Yunxi up casually. If he was so clearly protecting the tide when he opened it, he would inevitably annoy the queen mother. At this time, I didn't see any intention of the queen mother, so don't act rashly.
"The mourning family heard that something happened in the Penglai Palace, what is going on?" The Queen Mother completely ignored Rong Yunxi's existence and continued to ask the emperor.
"The queen mother can rest assured, it's not a big deal, it's just that Xinlan is not feeling well, and she is not used to eating the food at the banquet, so she retched for a while. The son has already sent the imperial doctor to take a look, and the imperial doctor also said that it is okay to cultivate for a few hours, and it is not a big problem. ”
The Queen Mother snorted coldly and said, "You don't have to hide it, the Mourning family has just come from Penglai Palace, what is the situation of the Bo family over there, the Mourning family has already asked clearly." Let's not talk about Bo's ...... Your Majesty, what is there that makes you ignore your own son? You casually threw Xing'er to a little eunuch to take care of, the child was so anxious that he cried, and the mourning family was distressed when he looked at it. How can you, a father, be so ruthless? Which goblin has fooled you so much that you have forgotten the root of human beings! ”
"The queen mother is ......angry," the emperor hurriedly said, "It's all the son's negligence, and the son sent Yunshang to pick up Xing'er." ”
"No need...... "The Queen Mother said, "The mourning family has ordered someone to take Xing'er back to Cining Palace...... If not, you will not take your son to death, and you will not even have the heart to pull out the poisonous woman. ”
"I'm tired of the queen mother." The emperor had to say so. Obviously, the "poisonous woman" that the queen mother said is Wanxi, if he argues with the queen mother again, I am afraid that the queen mother will directly go around to Wanxi. Of course, even if he directly perfunctory words, the queen mother will not let go of Yunxi easily today, it is just the difference between the open and the dark.
"After all, it's the mourning family's own grandson, what's there to worry about? His father didn't care if he lived or died, and if his grandmother didn't care either, how pitiful the child was. The Queen Mother said.
The emperor listened, but he stopped talking and became dumb.
From the moment she entered the door, the Queen Mother was testing the emperor's attitude towards Rong Yunxi, and by this time, the emperor's attitude could not have been more obvious. Obviously, the emperor is on Rong Yunxi's side, since this is the case, her evil mother-in-law can only make up her mind.
"The mourning family heard that there are still dead people in the woods outside the imperial dining room?" How could the Queen Mother stop because of the emperor's silence? Asked again.
"Is that the thing...... It's just that the little maid was stealing food outside with her master on her back, and her feet slipped and she crashed to death on the tree. The son had ordered the body to be cleaned up. I don't know who is so ignorant, and this little thing has to be played off in front of the queen mother! "The emperor said.
"Who says and does what you do? Could it be that if someone has done this humiliating thing and someone has covered it up, no one can say it? The Queen Mother's tone was obviously displeased.
In fact, it was not the women in the harem who chewed the root of their tongues in front of her, in Weiyang Palace, she still had some eyeliner. The emperor naturally knows this, but he just doesn't break it.
"Erchen has already instructed Lao Li to pass on the order, and no one in the palace is allowed to talk nonsense. Originally, there was not much of a deal, but it ended badly with false rumors. The queen mother can rest assured that her son will handle these things properly, and will never let the queen mother worry about work. "The emperor said.
Hearing the emperor's words, the Queen Mother was really angry. But in the end, she is also a person who has been in the palace for half her life, even if she has reached a position where she can be annoyed at this time, but the habit she has been developing all the time still makes her suppress the anger that has reached her heart. just said: "As the emperor, just care about the country, why don't you interfere in the affairs of the harem?" If you want to interfere in everything in the harem, what does the queen do? ”
"Queen, did you say?" The Queen Mother finally noticed Rong Yunxi and asked.
"What the Queen Mother said is very true." Rong Yunxi also learned from the emperor, no matter what you say, I will respond to it in a proper manner, anyway, it is some inconsequential words.
"In that case, what do you think about Concubine Bo's matter? Why did she get the poison of arsenic on the Penglai Palace, and why did the poison of arsenic fall in Xing'er's porridge bowl? Tell the mourners, what is the intention of this poisoner? ”
The Queen Mother asked slowly.
"After returning to his mother, his sons are neither immortals nor gods, so naturally they can't get a glimpse of the hearts of others, and they don't understand what this poisoned person wants." Rong Yunxi's answer was also smooth and steady.
These two people are both calm temperaments, if they are fighting patience and playing with lip service, I am afraid that the competition will be early tomorrow, and they will not pick out the words to the point. Rong Yunxi is willing to spend it like this, but how can the Queen Mother be like this? After all, when she came to Yilan Palace, she didn't have a warm relationship with Rong Yunxi.
"Obviously, this poisoner wants to kill the grandson of the mourning family! It's just that I didn't expect Bo's loving mother to be heartfelt, and she would taste Xing'er's bowl of porridge first. It's no wonder that people who have not been mothers, among many plans, naturally do not calculate this motherly heart, but only use her femme fatale heart to save people. Fortunately, the Bo family tasted it first, otherwise, even if it was just a small bite, it would be enough to kill the grandson of the mourning family! The Queen Mother gritted her teeth when she spoke, obviously hating the person who poisoned her.
Rong Yunxi thought to herself, if your old man knows that this poisoned person is the loving mother you call in your mouth, how should you feel?
After the Queen Mother sighed herself, she didn't ask Rong Yunxi anything, and Rong Yunxi continued to be dumb and silent.
The mourning family thought that since there was a problem in the porridge, the minions in the imperial dining room must not be able to get out of it. What does the queen think? The Queen Mother asked.
"The queen mother is very right." Rong Yunxi responded. If not, what can be answered? Could it be that "it may not be so" is so afraid that the queen mother's spearhead will be pointed at her at this time.
"Did you call someone from the Imperial Dining Room to come and interrogate?" The Queen Mother asked again.
"No, it's not too late." Rong Yunxi replied in a regular manner.
The Queen Mother glanced at her, and her eyes were full of disgust. Then he instructed Fang Fei beside him and said, "I called all the slaves and maids in the imperial dining room to come over, and the mourning family has something to ask." ”
Once the Queen Mother interrogated the people in the imperial dining room, Zhiqiu was obviously unable to hold back on the matter of going to the imperial dining room. The emperor tried his best to suppress this matter, and if he called the people in the imperial dining room to make a fuss, it would be even more difficult to suppress it. Even if people don't talk or discuss, but who doesn't have a plan in their hearts? The truth is clearer in the hearts of others.
Since Zhiqiu couldn't help the matter of going to the imperial dining room, and since the Queen Mother understood that she was coming at her, there was no need to go around in circles to find someone in the imperial dining room, and she would directly find out with the Queen Mother.
After returning to his mother, although Erchen did not call the people from the imperial dining room to come and ask, there are any strange people who have been to the imperial dining room today, but they also know a rough idea. Zhiqiu in the Erchen Palace is counted as one, in addition to the dead Xia Guo, and the living little peach in the Frost Dew Pavilion. Rong Yunxi said.
The Queen Mother let out a sneer from her nose, obviously not intending to hide her hostility towards Rong Yunxi. But he still smiled: "The mourning family has always known that you are doing things safely. It's just that since this matter involves the people in your palace, we can't be negligent. It's better to find someone in the imperial dining room to come and ask for clarification, so as not to investigate it carefully, and some people feel wronged. ”
The queen mother can't understand these thoughts of the women in the palace, how can she not see that Rong Yunxi doesn't want to make a big deal out of it? But this matter is in the Penglai Palace, the civil and military officials, the envoys of all countries, are all witnesses, the ugliness of the family has been raised, and the people outside are already known, but they still have to cover it up at home, what is the use?
These cover-ups behind closed doors in his own home are just a cover for the murderer. Protecting the murderer, is it the reputation of the royal family?
"Fang Fei, you just have to pass on the ......," the Queen Mother commanded again.
This time, Fang Fei answered the call and walked quickly, not stopping because of anyone's words. Even if you clearly hear the emperor say: "Queen Mother, don't worry! ”
The Queen Mother said with a smile: "Originally, this matter should have been handled by the queen, and the mourning family was just because the emperor had arranged Xing'er so indiscriminately, and he was angry and came to nag you." But since the matter involves the powerful slaves and maids in the queen's palace, it is inevitable that people will say that we have lost our fairness, and the mourning family thinks that it is better for the mourning family to investigate this matter, what does the emperor think? ”
"Don't bother with your mother...... But what the queen mother said is very true, it is related to the girl in the palace of Yunxi, and it is indeed inconvenient for Yunxi to interfere. It's better to leave this matter to the sons. Anyway, Erchen has already intervened, and it will be troublesome to hand it over to the queen mother. "The emperor said.
The Queen Mother didn't think anything about the emperor's proposal, but just smiled silently.
At this time, the more the emperor protects Rong Yunxi, the more unhappy the queen mother is, how can she be blindly protected by the emperor like this? If there is no Rong Yunxi's life experience, it is just a harem battle, she may turn a blind eye and pass it, as long as she pays attention to protect Hao Xing'er in the future. But Rong Yunxi's identity ...... She couldn't tolerate it.
The battle of the kingdoms is a matter of time, and his windy queen has the blood of the nobles of the Snow Country flowing on her body, how dangerous is this? What's more, Rong Yunxi's mother is still alive and in the snow country at this time, isn't this a danger within a crisis?
Although Rong Yunxi does not know the inspection and is scheming, but for Rong Yunxi's filial piety, I am afraid that no one who knows her will have any doubts......
