"Queen Mother, this is His Majesty's edict, do you want to wait for the three princes and nine ministers to arrive and read them together?" Shen Xihe pinched the edict and said.

The edict is still sealed, showing that it has not yet been opened, but Shen Xihe's calmness and self-confidence make people have a lot of reverie about the content of the edict, especially Emperor Youning personally ordered Xiao Junshu to be crowned as the emperor's grandson.

"The truth of the edict should naturally be judged by the Queen Mother, and the crown princess does not dare to hand it over to the Queen Mother, whether she is a thief or not!" Concubine Shu asked sharply.

"I just want the three princes and nine kings to be notarized, so I have become a thief?" Shen Xihe didn't even look at Concubine Shu, her eyes were always on the Queen Mother, "The Queen Mother knows, when did I start guessing that it was the Queen Mother?" ”

Shen Xihe's words made the hall quiet, and the concubines kneeling outside the screen couldn't cover their ears, regretting that they wanted to rush in with the concubine, and the concubine's eyes flashed.

The Queen Mother still had a kind face, and looked at Shen Xihe calmly: "When?" ”

"The prince was buried, and the second lady was involved." Shen Xihe's eyes were full of joy, "Yu Erniang is different from others, she just returned to Kyoto, but a little lady, even I noticed it because of a few coincidences." How could someone like the Queen Mother, who was plotting for the supreme position, notice someone as insignificant as her?

I thought of that day, I broke the sachet she sewed for the Queen Mother, and thought that the Queen Mother went to check on Yu Erniang, Yu Erniang stepped on her sister to become Princess Zhao, and the Queen Mother looked at her highly, and the Queen Mother faked her death, and the Queen Mother knew about it early in the morning. ”

"With your intelligence, you shouldn't be so late." The Queen Mother's smile is as peaceful as ever, her eyebrows are peaceful, and the people who worship the Buddha all the year round are full of a kind and intimate feeling.

"yes, it shouldn't be so late, it's just a mistake." Shen Xihe laughed at himself, his eyes flickered, and fell on Concubine Shu, "As early as when she parted ways with me, I was suspicious of the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother is Beichen's only close relative, and I don't want to tear apart the softness in his heart, so I will deceive myself." ”

Concubine Shu may not be a very smart person, but she will never be a stupid person, she was able to understand the situation in the East Palace that day, and she was able to be hung in the wilderness all night in order to get His Majesty's pity.

It shows how sober she is, how can she be easily carried away by the emperor's favor?

No matter how much favor Your Majesty has with her, it is not enough to confuse her mind, but she still broke up with Shen Xihe, since it is not because of Your Majesty, then it must be someone who can give her more than Shen Xihe can give.

Do such people exist?

If you don't think about the Queen Mother, it naturally doesn't exist.

But what if it's the Queen Mother?

The Queen Mother is deeply trusted by the Crown Prince, and Concubine Shu is afraid that she feels that they are all pawns in the hands of the Queen Mother.

And since the Queen Mother has revealed her true face in front of Concubine Shu, if Concubine Shu does not comply, there will be no way to live, which Concubine Shu knows well.

"Since you have long believed that it is me, Yu Erniang is the one you deliberately put in the secret passage." The Queen Mother also figured out one thing.

"The matter of Yu Erniang did make me think that it was the Queen Mother, but I still had a bit of luck, I wanted to know how extensive the Queen Mother's power was." Shen Xihe also generously admitted.

"How much do you guess I have now?" The Queen Mother asked with a smile.

Shen Xihe shook his head: "The Queen Mother can be honest with me at this time, I think there is a back hand that I can't see." ”

The wrinkles at the corners of the Queen Mother's eyes were dyed with a happy smile, and she looked at Shen Xihe's eyes that still had the love of the elders for the juniors, not like a fake: "How ignorant women are in this world, but Yo You is not like them, you are so smart." ”

"The Queen Mother doesn't look down on the women in this world, so she uses them as puppets and can be discarded at any time." Shen Xihe's expression was flat, "It also includes the weak women who were involved in the rouge case." ”

"Sure enough, you know everything." The Queen Mother sighed softly.

"The prince has Hua Fuhai, the second highness collects wealth with the Qinglou, the fourth highness robs the tomb to get money, and the eighth highness quells the bandits and robs the money." Shen Xihe looked at the Queen Mother, "Even Your Majesty uses the treasury to support people, the Queen Mother intends to be in the world, how can she not cultivate power?" Where does the money come from? I thought, why has the Queen Mother been hidden behind her all these years, in addition to waiting for the opportunity, is there a helpless reason? ”

The Queen Mother smiled unabated, looking at Shen Xihe, with a look of deafness.

At this time, outside the palace, the two armies had begun to fight, and many people from the Queen Mother came from the secret passage, but Shen Xi and Zao sent people to intercept and kill outside the secret passage, and the secret passage became the most tragic place.

The gate of the palace of the four directions, the guards have also closed the palace gate, Xiao Changqing, Xiao Changying, Xiao Changgeng, and Xie Yunhuai each led people to besiege a city gate, and they didn't know what was going on in the palace.

But they asked to enter the palace, but they were refused, and the people guarding the city gate suddenly became strangers to them.

The palace is still quite calm, many guards will be surrounded by civil and military officials, solemn and heavy, the imperial history scolded, the other party raised his sword, and wiped the neck, and the generals also pressed down in an instant, they need to find a time.

These people kept saying that they were ordered by the crown princess, creating a situation where Shen Xihe wanted to force the palace to rebel.

Tao Zhuan Xian was in a hurry and wanted to refute, but was held back by Cui Zheng.

There is only the Qinzheng Palace, and the sound of swords fighting is not heard.

"Thinking that everything comes from the rouge case, why does Wei Juma want so much money? They are already rich and noble, and deliberately training those women to be concubines with high-ranking officials is not just for money. Shen Xihe didn't seem to know that the smoke outside the palace was pervasive, she was still calm, "The real mastermind behind the rouge case is the Queen Mother!"

It's just that after the power is great, it is inevitable that there will be a mistake, and this mistake will appear under the nose of His Majesty, and the Queen Mother will be furious for the first time and order someone to investigate thoroughly, who can guess that the Queen Mother is the mastermind?

The Queen Mother wanted to cut through the mess quickly, but His Royal Highness King Lie took away the evidence, and the prince intervened in it, and the Queen Mother had to endure the pain of burning so many years of planning, but fortunately, the evidence in the hands of His Royal Highness King Lie only pointed to Wei Yuma.

This is also why the Queen Mother, since the rouge case, can only sneak behind her back, because the Queen Mother's hard work has been crushed. ”

"Yes, not at all." The Queen Mother smiled and bowed, "The power I have cultivated over the years, seeing that I can control the entire court through the inner house, was destroyed by Qilang." ”

"I'm afraid it was at that time that the Queen Mother realized that Beichen, who had been growing under the eyes of the Queen Mother, was already a person that the Queen Mother could no longer control." Shen Xihe felt a little sorry for Xiao Huayong, although he didn't confess to the Queen Mother, but he was also defenseless, "The Queen Mother's forces were damaged, and she was afraid of the momentum of Beichen, so she simply made a move to destroy the Great Wall." ”
