Xuan Ye finally calmed down and said to Yu'er: "Imperial grandmother, I understand. โ
"Let's go back to the Qianqing Palace." Yu'er said, "There are more things in the world. โ
Xuan Ye saluted and said goodbye, as if he could feel his grandmother's eager gaze watching his back, he straightened his back, held his head high, and strode out steadily.
Yu'er prayed silently to the heavens, she had finally reached the age of believing in God and Buddhism.
It was day and night, Su Mala came to Yu'er's side with a solemn face, and told her the results of the interrogation of the Shen Criminal Division.
Before the eldest elder brother was poisoned, in order to rearrange the second elder brother's house, the queen's people went in and out of it, and some palace maids had seen unfamiliar faces and appeared in the eldest elder brother's room, and later found that the little eunuch came with the team that moved furniture for the second elder brother.
Yu'er said coldly: "Could it be that it was a trick made up on purpose?" โ
Su Mala said: "The slave and maid did not beat them, so let them think about what is suspicious these days." โ
Yu'er asked, "How many people said this?" โ
Su Mala said: "As far as the palace maid in the eldest brother's house said, as soon as they entered the Shen Criminal Division, they were divided and switched, and they could not collude. โ
Yu'er flicked the Buddhist beads in her hand and said, "Go and check, what is the origin of this palace maid." โ
Su Mala received the order and said: "Master, Mrs. Tong will enter the palace tomorrow afternoon, and the slave has already informed the queen that the mother will come with the second elder brother in the afternoon." โ
Yu'er said: "Guess what she came to do, after Yuan Xi passed away, unless she has a long life, she will hardly enter the palace again, and she will enter the palace at this juncture, is she not afraid of people chasing the wind and catching shadows?" โ
Su Mala said: "Either those who are not clear will clear themselves, or they will ......."
The master and servant thought together, and Yu'er sighed: "You go to check the origin of the palace maid, and it is best to find out the results before she enters the palace tomorrow." โ
Su Mala asked, "Why do you think that the palace maid is lying?" โ
Yu'er said: "The rules in Brother's house are so strict, if you see a fresh face entering Brother's room, you will definitely immediately speak out and ask for clarification." They all put their heads on their waists to serve the prince and princess, and if they make a little mistake, their lives will be difficult to protect, in this case, they still don't understand this truth? She was silent at the time, but now after the accident, she remembered it with you two days later, and said that the head was the Tao, and said that what is the person who moved furniture for the second elder brother, don't you think it's strange? โ
"When you say that...... Su Mala said nervously, "do you want to splash dirty water on the queen's mother?" โ
"And who is the most likely to target the Queen?" Yu'er asked Su Mala.
"Zhao ...... Concubine Zhao? Su Mala said, "However, Niu Hulu's family has been much more honest recently." โ
Yu'er said: "If I am Shu Shu, once it is revealed that the person who is the queen is suspicious, the queen will inevitably work hard to prove her innocence, and then she will check all the people who may be targeting her." The last time Niu Hulu was in the family, the person who framed her ruined the reputation of Concubine Ning, and now it is not impossible to do it again. If Shu Shu is in a hurry, Niu Hulu will not sit stupidly and wait to be wronged, then next, they will fight openly and secretly with each other, and there will be no days in this palace. โ
Su Mala sighed: "Master, the slave maid has a headache just by hearing you say this." โ
Yu'er said: "There are only a few people, in another seven or eight years, the east and west six palaces will be full, and it will be more lively." You just said that when you were in Shengjing, where the palm was big, as long as you had the heart, you could still turn over the tricks. โ
The next afternoon, Shu Shu took Chenghu to Cining Palace, and when he went out of the west gate, he met Ling Zhao, who was going to arrange the aftermath of the eldest brother, and said: "The concubine is trying to ask you to show me, and the Nalan clan came to ask for a decree, saying that Rong Chang wants to see the eldest brother for the last time." โ
Shu Shu said: "You can arrange it, don't make her too sad, and don't damage the body of the eldest brother." โ
Ling Zhao received the order, got up and couldn't help but look at the child in Shu Shu's arms: "Niangniang is holding the second elder brother, where are you going?" โ
Shu Shu said: "Mrs. Tong has entered the palace, the Empress Dowager asked the second elder brother to take a look, you can also come to have a cup of tea in a while, it is rare to see Mrs. Tong." โ
"If the concubine is free, she must come over." Ling Zhao said, "Niangniang, please go first, Madame must be in a hurry to meet the second elder brother." โ
Seeing the queen and her entourage leaving, Dong Yun read softly: "The old lady of the Tong family, what are you doing at this time, do you really regard yourself as a grandmother to mourn your great-grandson?" โ
"What does it mean to really regard yourself as your grandmother, isn't someone the emperor's grandmother?" Ling Zhao reproached, "You can't talk nonsense elsewhere when you say this. โ
Dong Yun said seriously: "Miss, it's not a slave talking nonsense, and I don't dare to see no one in my eyes." You think, the lord doesn't dare to regard himself as the emperor's father-in-law, and you will give birth to Princess Brother in the future, are you willing to say that they are the great-grandsons of the Tong family? โ
"This ......" Ling Zhao was really asked, and finally sneered, "Then I have to give birth too." โ
In this room, Yu'er and Mrs. Tong drank tea, looked at the door for a long time, and asked delicately: "Queen Mother, why hasn't the queen's sister-in-law come yet?" โ
Mrs. Tong scolded: "There are no rules, come and sit down." โ
Yu'er smiled: "With her, there are no outsiders here, I haven't seen her for a few days, and the strings are getting more and more signs." โ
Mrs. Tong said humbly: "The Empress Dowager, you can't praise her, this kid can't praise her." โ
As she spoke, the queen arrived, and she immediately rushed out and circled around the queen: "Sister-in-law, tell me to take a look at the second brother, sister-in-law, tell me to take a look." โ
Shu Shu naturally couldn't hand over the soft baby to the leaning string, and went first to salute the empress dowager, and after Mrs. Tong and her granddaughter saluted together, she sent the child into the arms of the old lady, and said with a smile: "Madam, look at it, the second elder brother is more like the emperor, or more like me?" โ
"It's all like it." Mrs. Tong held the child in her arms, couldn't put it down, and stared at the side for a long time, saying, "Like a sister-in-law, not like the emperor's brother." โ
Xu is little aunt's voice was too loud, which scared Chenghu, the little guy cried, Shu Shu had to take the child back, and when she saw the imperial grandmother giving her a look at her, she said to the leaning string: "Let's go change the little nephew's diaper, okay?" โ
He didn't want to be with the old people, so he happily followed.
The hall was quiet for a while, and Mrs. Tong served the tea by herself, but somehow her hand slipped, and the tea bowl turned around on the coffee table and fell to the ground.
The old lady was stunned, leaned over and was about to pick it up, Su Mala had already stepped forward with the palace maid: "Madam, don't break your hands." โ
Yu'er got up and said, "Let them clean up, let's go to the study and sit down, it's warm in winter and cool in summer." โ
When she arrived at the study, Yu'er went straight to clean up the Xizi on the table, and said casually: "You sit down, don't be restrained, it's all your own family." โ
But when she heard the voice, Yu'er knew that the person behind her knelt down, she didn't turn around, but only heard Mrs. Tong say: "The Empress Dowager, the concubine came today because of two things, and I want to plead with the Empress Dowager." โ
Yu'er turned around: "You get up and speak, you are old, and your body is not as good as mine, you are Xuan Ye's most beloved grandmother, what happened to you to me, call Xuan Ye and me, how can you be embarrassed." โ
Mrs. Tong bowed deeply again with tears in her eyes: "Ask the Empress Dowager for mercy." โ
Yu'er sat down slowly, with a majestic expression: "Say, what's wrong?" โ
However, this morning, Su Mala had already found out that the palace maid who said that confession had an affair with the guard who was in charge of the defense of Ah Ge, and the family of the guard was from the former command of Tong Tulai of Zhenglanqi.
Tong Tulai is long gone, and the connections he used to have have fallen into the hands of his son.
It's not uncommon to say that those princes and ministers outside, as long as they have some skills, who don't cultivate some eyeliner in the palace, it's the same inside and outside the palace.
Yu'er has already determined eight or nine points in her heart, and this incident is inseparable from Xuan Ye's little uncle.
Mrs. Tong was in a hurry to enter the palace, probably hoping to save her son's life, son, after all, is a son.
At this moment, in the elder brother's office, Rong Chang was crying heartily in the coffin, and Nalan was by the side, and he was also in tears, only Ling Zhao looked indifferent, and after being reminded by Dongyun several times, he pretended to wipe his tears with a handkerchief.
"Alright, let's go back." After a long time, Ling Zhao spoke, "The eldest brother is underage, and the funeral is simple, it's not that I treat your son badly, this is the emperor's intention." โ
Rong Changzai fell into Nalan Clan's arms, almost dying, and she asked Ling Zhao in a dumb voice: "Niangniang, big brother...... How did he die? โ
Ling Zhao said indifferently: "This morning, the emperor has issued an edict stating that the eldest brother died of the sequelae of the epidemic, and the illness was fierce, and the imperial doctors were helpless and died. โ
