Chapter 321: The following offenses
The queen mother, who had been waiting for Concubine Zhao to return to the palace, learned that Fuquan and the crown prince escorted Yunxi directly to the imperial village, and her old face was suddenly so black that ink was about to drip out.
"They are specifically targeting the mourning family, and that Concubine Zhao, who usually looks like a well-behaved person, why don't they follow the rules now, even if they have to go to recuperate after returning to Beijing, shouldn't they go back to the palace to ask the mourning family to say goodbye first? She is pampered and arrogant, and she doesn't take the mourning family in her eyes! Qiao Mama, you go to the mourning family to pass the decree, and the mourning family will ask her to return to the palace this time!" As long as the queen mother thought that she had made so many preparations, but in the end it became a joke, she couldn't stop the anger in her heart, and even broke her voice in the end.
"The Queen Mother forgives, since this Concubine Zhao dares to do this, Prince Yu and the crown prince are so protective, obviously there is something to rely on. "Mama Qiao saw that the Queen Mother was really angry, but it was not good to add fuel to the fire, after all, the Queen Mother is not young, she is really angry, and she is still at a loss, as for Concubine Zhao, who was angered, how beautiful she is now, how she will be beautiful in the future, it will not be affected at all, and the small day should not be too comfortable. But she couldn't say these words, so she could only persuade the Queen Mother to take care of herself, after all, only by taking care of herself first could she change her situation and the fate of others.
The queen mother is the most unseen is Yunxi's dependent appearance, obviously she is already the queen mother, obviously there is no one to press on her head anymore, obviously she has become the largest in the harem, but the reality is that her life is getting worse and worse than before. And the worse she is, the more she can't tolerate others in her eyes, which is why she knows that it is beneficial for her to be pregnant, but she still can't help but get angry.
Now she wants to use the suppression of Yunxi to prove that she can still become the first person in the harem without the support of the Queen Mother, but God does not follow people's wishes, she plans well, but people do not cooperate at all, as soon as she thinks that all her calculations are empty, there is a anger in the heart of the Queen Mother, which cannot be extinguished.
"What kind of reliance! It's nothing more than that the emperor no longer believes in the old immortal of the mourning family from the bottom of his heart, so he gave the mourning family a trick before leaving, otherwise he would have blessed his cautious temperament, how could he take people and horses to escort so easily. Gritting her teeth, the queen mother who came back to her senses easily thought of the result, but even so, what could she do?
Qiao Mama looked slightly stunned when she heard this, but she forgot that the emperor's attitude towards the queen mother was indeed not as good as before, "Queen Mother, since the emperor has made a will, should we wait until the emperor returns to the court before making plans?"
"What are you waiting for! The mourning family is now irreversible, even if the emperor comes back, it is impossible to stand on the side of the mourning family, speaking of which, the matter of Mulan, the emperor is still angry with Horqin and the mourning family, otherwise he would not have such an arrangement!" The queen mother thought about everything after returning from Mulan, her scalp was numb, why did she feel okay before! Obviously, the emperor's dissatisfaction has always been very clear, but she always thought that the emperor would show filial piety without her, and now that she thinks about it, she takes it for granted, but she is indeed irreversible now.
Mama Qiao was shocked by the Queen Mother's words, and sometimes she complained that the Queen Mother couldn't see clearly, but now that the Queen Mother finally saw it clearly, this matter is still difficult to do, after all, this time is different from the past, the owner of this harem is no longer a Mongolian concubine but Kangxi, even if they have the heart, they are powerless to change this situation.
The queen mother sat upright a little dejectedly, the whole person was a little stunned, and said after a long time: "It's like this, I'm afraid that the mourning family really has no choice, if you don't fight it, when the emperor comes back, the mourning family is afraid that it will become a real idler." โ
She is not reconciled! From her youth to this age, all she sees in her eyes is the glory that belongs to Horqin, she thought that without the empress dowager, that kind of glory would belong to her alone, but now it seems that this is not the case, but even if the front is full of thorns, she can't retreat, because retreat means that she can only live in her Shouning Palace in the future, and she will no longer be the master of this harem like before.
Seeing this, Mama Qiao couldn't help but raise a gentle smile, looked at the Queen Mother and said softly: "The Queen Mother means to call Concubine Zhao back?"
The Queen Mother looked at Mama Qiao's stunned expression, and smiled bitterly in her heart, it was difficult to wait for the other party to come back by herself, "Yes, since there is no other choice, the mourning family can only force Concubine Zhao to come back by herself, and the mourning family doesn't believe that she really doesn't care about her reputation at all!"
If Concubine Zhao really doesn't care about her reputation, then what is she afraid of, after all, it is the fourth child who will be affected in the end, even if the emperor comes back in the end and blames her for this, it is just to let her die of old age in Shouning Palace. But if she really wants to win, even if Kangxi is dissatisfied, the concubines of the harem and the forces behind them dare not underestimate her anymore, if she takes advantage of the limelight again, she may be able to keep the last glory of Horqin.
Seeing this, Mama Qiao didn't say more, she knew in her heart that the Queen Mother wanted to make the last move, but what kind of result this game would bring, but it was unknown?
On the Huangzhuang side, Aunt Xiaochi found a position as a housekeeper here because of Yunxi's special care, although she didn't have much oil and water on weekdays, she was at ease, at least she wouldn't worry about finding her trouble. But just when she thought that she could enter the retirement life safely like this, Yunxi appeared again as the first master she served after she arrived at the Imperial Village, and before the Crown Prince, Prince Yu and Prince Gong who sent her over left, the Empress Dowager's decree followed.
Compared to the fact that she left the palace for only a few months, she originally thought that everything in the Forbidden City would only be insignificant even if it had anything to do with her, but she didn't want to see her old friend, so she would watch such a good show.
"Concubine Zhao, take the decree!" The eunuch who came to announce the decree was the eunuch Cui Cheng, the chief administrator of Shouning Palace, at this time, he rode his horse all the way to the Huangzhuang, and even stopped Yunxi and his party who were about to enter the Huangzhuang before he could breathe and read the Empress Dowager's decree, and finally without waiting for Yunxi to react, he took two steps forward and sent the edict to Yunxi, looking like she would not give up if she did not accept the decree, very arrogant.
Yinren and Fu glanced at each other without a trace, both of them were very angry in their hearts, no matter what the queen mother had in mind, the Cui Chengdu in front of him was too presumptuous, just a minion, no matter who the battle was, it was not the master. Although some masters who have lost power will be bullied by the minions, none of the masters standing here have lost their power, so Cui Cheng, a slave who is not long-eyed, dares to argue with the master, he really doesn't know whether he is alive or dead.
"You can't see the master all around, you don't even say hello when you come in, you threaten the palace when you open your mouth, so bold!" Yunxi held the hand of the green sleeves, and glanced at Cui Cheng in front of him unhurriedly, looking at him as if he had realized that the surroundings were all the good expressions of the masters, and there was a sneer in his heart, it was a good thing to change her mistakes, but why should she forgive the other party, "Green sleeves, what crime should be committed if you commit the following crimes!"
"Back to Niangniang, the light is thirty boards, and the heavy is a cane. The green sleeves' straightforward answer made everyone's eyes fall on Cui Cheng, and all of them were not good.
Cui Cheng hurriedly ran to the Huangzhuang naturally because of the Queen Mother's orders, if he was on weekdays, he would definitely not dare to be so presumptuous, but the Queen Mother said everything to that point, where did he dare to have a trace of neglect. But this way to the Huangzhuang on horseback, his whole person's bones were about to break, where can he take care of anything else, as soon as he saw the people and horses in front of him, he rushed straight up, in order to stop Concubine Zhao, but he forgot that there were princes, Prince Yu, Prince Gong and several elder brothers. As Concubine Zhao said, there are masters all around, but he is a slave who turns a blind eye, no matter what the reason, he really can't escape the crime he committed.
"Dog minion, what a big dog guts! Come on, drag it out, and kill it with a cane!" Yinren looked at Cui Cheng, who was covered in cold sweat and trembling slightly, sneered, and opened his mouth to ignore anything else, and directly punished the crime.
Fuquan They very much agree with Yinren's treatment, everyone here already respects Kangxi, since Kangxi wants to protect Concubine Zhao, then it is impossible for them to let the Queen Mother take Concubine Zhao away, so this decree can only be regarded as not heard, and the person who passed the decree naturally cannot be put back, otherwise Concubine Zhao will not be able to go back, and it will not be possible if she does not go back, not to mention the dilemma, it is also a big trouble for these people, after all, Kangxi can entrust them with a heavy responsibility, and they really want to let Concubine Zhao have an accident under their noses, whether they have any efforts or not, the result is doomed to make them wrongใ As for whether this move will offend the queen mother, they don't care at all, after all, they are loyal to the emperor, not the queen mother.
Cui Cheng's calves were weak, and he knelt directly on the ground, at this time, he didn't care about any Yi Zhi or not, he just wanted to save his own life, "The prince spares his life, Concubine Zhao spares his life, Prince Yu spares his ......life, and Prince Yu spares his life" The master of this slip called down, don't say Cui Cheng, the people who came with him knelt down one after another, and there was no previous majesty.
"Now I know it's wrong, I didn't put Lone in my eyes at all just now! What are you doing in a daze, don't pull it down!" Yinren's eyes sank, and when he touched Fuquan's gaze, he immediately shouted.
He can see that the queen mother is a big plan to use the opportunity and reputation to force Concubine Zhao to comply, and also force them to comply. Now that things have come to an end, these people are destined to be inextricably linked! Since this is the case, then they don't have to worry too much, they can do what they have to do, and instead of shrinking back and acting passively, it is better to turn passivity into initiative and let the queen mother's abacus fail.
"Huh. When the guards present saw Yinren's expression, they immediately stepped forward and dragged Cui Cheng down, and as for those who came with him, they were also tied up, and just waited for Yinren to give an order, and dragged these people down and disposed of them together.
