After the death of the queen, the spirit was suspended for three days, and on the fourth day, courtiers and wives began to enter the palace to mourn.

Martial law began in the capital, and the officers and soldiers at the city gate were increased to strictly check the passing people.

Mourning flags were hung in front of every house to show their condolences.

Yongyu Hou Mansion is no exception, even if Xie Wan doesn't go out, she can feel the wind and rain coming.

However, it was not the wind and rain that came first, but the English duchess.

She didn't ask Xie Wan why she didn't allow her people to leave the mansion, but said: "Today is the fourth day of the queen's death, and it stands to reason that I should go to the first batch of people to enter the palace to mourn." ”

Xie Wan snorted: "Is my aunt going?" ”

The British Duchess looked at her with a complicated face and said, "Can I go?" ”

"My aunt laughed." Xie Wan smiled at her: "If my aunt wants to go, she can naturally go, after all, you are an elder." ”

The British duchess looked at her deeply, wanting to see the truth of this from her face, but Xie Wan's expression was as calm as usual, and she couldn't see anything at all.

She sighed lightly and said in a low voice: "You don't have to guard against me like this, although I am the younger sister-in-law of the Queen Mother and my mother's family, I can also distinguish the importance and know what it means for the king to call the minister to die and the minister has to die." The Queen Mother wants to talk to the Ma family, but what is there to talk about? ”

"When things come to this point, can the Queen Mother just mediate in it? It's just a matter of causing trouble to His Majesty and King Ning, His Majesty and King Ning have the blood of the Chen family on their bodies, and the Ma family has nothing to do with the Chen family. ”

"But I can't be disobedient to the Queen Mother's orders, so I can only respond and follow her instructions. You see, I have not come to you for a few days when you have stopped my people, have I? ”

Xie Wan didn't respond when she heard this, but said, "Uncle wants to go to mourn the queen?" ”

"It's the right thing to do according to the rules."

The British duchess said: "And even if I don't go, your uncle and Chen Cen Sun Mei will have to go, if the Ma family really has any evil thoughts, there will be no more than me, and no less than me." ”

Xie Wan frowned when she heard this: "Sister Sun finally got pregnant, so it's inconvenient to go, if the Ma family really does something, it won't be good if she is frightened." ”

The British Duchess sighed lightly: "I think the same way, but the British Mansion must have a female dependent, so I have to go this time." ”

Xie Wan understood what she meant.

Now that she has torn her face, as Princess Ning, she didn't go to mourn, and the British Duchess who is the queen mother's family naturally can't go, but the British duchess is here to tell her this, in the final analysis, she doesn't want to offend anyone.

In fact, it doesn't matter to her whether the British Duchess goes or not, as the British Duchess herself said, the Chen family is going, if the Ma family really wants to take them as hostages, there will be no more, no more, no less.

But the problem is that if the British duchess is confused and takes advantage of the time to go out to reach a consensus with the Ma family, it will be troublesome.

Xie Wan didn't believe her.

Xie Wan was silent for a while and said, "Maybe I'm going to disappoint my uncle, the prince has an order, and no one in the Yongyu Hou Mansion is allowed to go out." ”

"You!"

The British Duchess was a little angry: "I told you so much, you didn't understand at all!" I mean......"

"I understand." Xie Wan looked at her and said, "However, it's an eventful time, and I can't take the slightest risk." ”

The British duchess was silent immediately, glared at her hatefully, and flicked her sleeves and left in a huff.

Xie Wan felt that she had a little trick to offend people every day.

She is no different from the dormitory manager now.

Not long after the British duchess left, the Empress Dowager Chen sent someone to invite her over.

These days, Empress Dowager Chen is becoming more and more indifferent to her, and the favor she earned before has been squandered, but fortunately, she has not torn her face or spoken out.

To be precise, Empress Dowager Chen unilaterally started a cold war with her.

But today is different, Empress Dowager Chen has a lot of anger at Xie Wan.

"Xie Wan! It's just that you stop the mourning family, why do you even have to stop the British duchess? Who gave you the right?! ”

"What kind of Longtan Tiger's Den is your Yongyu Hou Mansion, you can't get out if you come in?!"

"Do you know what's going on right now? Do you have to see a river of blood to be happy?! ”

"The most regrettable thing about the mourning family is that they didn't stop Yu'er from marrying you!"

There is something even more ugly, Xie Wan automatically blocked it.

Until the end, Empress Dowager Chen pointed at her and scolded: "You are a sinner!" If the Ma family is forced to rebel, you will be a sinner in the world, a sinner for the ages! ”

Xie Wan, who had been silent, immediately raised her eyes and looked at her when she heard this.

Empress Dowager Chen was stunned by her eyes, and then returned to normal: "What? Isn't what the mourners said right?! ”

Xie Wan had a momentary urge to tell her the truth.

But this truth was never opened by Emperor Wen Zhao who would rather die, it was guarded by Li Yu and his three brothers, and Li Qiong never exposed it in person even if she entered the palace, how could she let their efforts go to waste with a momentary anger.

Xie Wan took a deep breath and said to the Empress Dowager Chen as calmly as possible: "Queen Mother, the daughter-in-law is just a weak woman, if the Ma family really rebels, it is not the daughter-in-law who forces him, and the hat of a sinner in this world is really not to wear." ”

Empress Dowager Chen's hands trembled angrily: "If you don't act like this, you are a sinner!" ”

Xie Wan let out a long sigh, looked at her and said, "Isn't the queen mother still unable to see clearly?" His Majesty wants to deal with the Ma family, not in one day or two days, His Majesty is not impulsive, but has already been deployed. Even if you can't trust Your Majesty, what about King Ning? ”

"You know what?" Empress Dowager Chen was really anxious: "Your Majesty has a misunderstanding with the Ma family, only the mourning family can solve this misunderstanding and avoid the misery of life!" ”

Hearing this, Xie Wan frowned, looked at her and said seriously: "The Ma family has a deep foundation, and moving the Ma family will lead to turmoil in the imperial court, Your Majesty knows this, and King Ning also knows about it, but they still choose to do this, are they impulsive people?" Is it someone who will put the safety of the country and the people at risk just because of some misunderstandings? ”

"As the biological mother of Your Majesty and King Ning, shouldn't the Queen Mother trust her son and stand by their side at this moment? What is the queen mother for, so afraid of something happening to the Ma family, so afraid that the Ma family dog will jump off the wall in a hurry? ”

When Empress Dowager Chen heard this, the blood on her face suddenly receded, and she looked at her with a miserable face: "What do you know?" ”

Xie Wan didn't answer, she avoided the topic and said lightly: "The daughter-in-law doesn't know anything, the daughter-in-law just believes in Your Majesty and believes in the choice made by her husband." The queen mother also ......"

While......

While......

While......

Suddenly, a bell rang in the distance.

Xie Wan and Empress Dowager Chen stiffened together, and turned their eyes to look out in disbelief.

While......

The bell continues.

The palace is not far from the Marquis of Yongyu, and the bells of the four bell towers in the south, east, west, and northwest are actually not loud here.

This time, however, the bell rang in their ears like thunder.
