Chapter 222: Handle it lightly

The emperor in anger lifted up his beloved concubine.

Looking at Empress Zheng, who saluted him, he said coldly, "Empress, you have to give me a good explanation for today's matter!" ”

"Your Majesty, what Concubine Li said is all slander, and this palace has never done anything unfortunate!"

At this point, Empress Zheng knew that most of them would not be good, so she simply gritted her teeth and refused to admit it.

Anyway, Concubine Li only has the medicine in her hand, and there is no evidence, how can she prove that the medicine came from the Middle Palace?

"Queen Mother, do you have to show evidence in front of so many palace people?" Concubine Li looked at Empress Zheng painfully.

Empress Zheng didn't believe that Concubine Li really had evidence, she guessed that she got the news there, so she came to make trouble in front of her middle palace.

"Concubine Li, just because you don't know where you got the inexplicable medicinal powder, do you want to frame this palace?"

"Queen Mother, this box has been in the hands of the concubine, and only the concubine has seen it......"

"No one around the concubine has ever seen what is inside, and the concubine has never been in front of you, why do you know that this box contains medicine at once?"

"What?" Faced with Concubine Li's questioning, Empress Zheng was stunned.

She just blurted out that she hadn't thought about it at all.

"Ah, that's so......," Empress Zheng said, "Since you said that this palace has harmed people, and you say that there is evidence, this palace will naturally think that the box is filled with poison." ”

"No, the queen mother," Concubine Li said coldly, "Normal people, shouldn't you think of evidence first?" ”

"Didn't you also say that the concubine said that there was evidence, so the wooden box should be filled with evidence according to the usual reasoning."

"That'...... Poison, isn't it also evidence? Hongu felt that there was no problem with speaking like this. "Empress Zheng's dead duck has a hard mouth.

When the emperor wanted to interrogate in detail, the queen mother sent someone to send a message to summon the emperor and the queen to her palace.

For the first time, Empress Zheng was extremely pleased with the summons of the Queen Mother.

Her resentment towards the Queen Mother in the past turned into nothingness at this moment.

She knew that this was the queen mother's unbearable resurgence of chaos in the harem that had just quieted down, so she gave the two a chance to relax.

Sure enough, the emperor and queen came to the queen mother, and the queen mother just told them to face each other.

What is the previous dynasty, the harem has just stabilized, the matter of the rebels in the south has just subsided, and it is not appropriate to let anything affect the prince's wedding at this time, etc......

After saying a lot of reasons, it can be summed up in one sentence, "Your Majesty, you have to think carefully." ”

This sentence has many meanings.

It is necessary to consider not only the government affairs of the previous dynasty, but also whether this is the time to settle accounts with Empress Zheng.

After all, Concubine Li's background is simple, and Empress Zheng's status is precious.

In particular, half of the reason for Empress Zheng's tricky and domineering was also caused by the emperor's preference at the beginning.

How similar it was back then to what it is now.

When Empress Zheng was still a concubine, relying on the emperor's favor, she was the enemy of Empress Jiang everywhere.

Even in the end, in order to get the back position, she did not hesitate to poison her.

The strange death of Queen Jiang, the Queen Mother knew from beginning to end.

It's just that for the peace of the harem, she had to swallow her anger and follow her son's preferences to make the Zheng family the queen.

Her son, she knew, that although he was not a wise emperor, he was not mediocre either.

It's this mediocre son who breaks her heart.

It was not easy for her to get to this position all the way, but in the eyes of her son, she felt that it was a smooth journey.

Also, when she suffered the most, as her son, he was not yet born.

The reason why she insisted on taking Jiang as the queen for her son was because Jiang's personality was calm and atmospheric, and if such a person ruled the harem, the harem could be stable and harmonious.

But her son just couldn't see this, snubbed the Jiang family, and was even killed by the favorite concubine in the end.

After knowing the truth, the Queen Mother actually wanted to dispose of the Zheng family immediately, but at that time, her son was on the Zheng family, and she killed Queen Zheng, which was equivalent to turning against her son.

Therefore, the Queen Mother, who knew the inside story, did nothing.

Even in order to avoid gunpowder in the harem, she tried her best not to let Empress Zheng greet her, so as to reduce the meeting and friction between the two.

If she didn't want to touch Empress Zheng at the beginning for the stability of the harem, then she is now preventing the emperor from continuing to investigate this matter for the sake of the stability of the world.

After all, Empress Zheng is the biological mother of the prince, and the prince's wedding is imminent.

If the emperor is angry with the queen at this time because of the matter of the former queen and Concubine Li's children, then the prince will lose face.

The prince's father-in-law's family is also the secretary of the military department, and after this series, there is almost no one who is not implicated.

was called by the Queen Mother to listen to such words, and Emperor Zhao Yan also came to his senses, being aggressive towards the queen at this time would not benefit anyone.

Originally, I wanted to breathe a sigh of relief for Concubine Li, but I faded.

Of course, this does not mean that he can forgive Empress Zheng for everything she has done.

Zhao Yan admitted that he really liked the Zheng family back then, but when he learned that the Jiang family died in her hands, he couldn't help but feel chills in his heart.

Empress Jiang is the woman whom the Queen Mother married him, although he can't say that he loves her, but she is indeed virtuous and virtuous.

She manages the harem in an orderly manner, and the concubines are always happy and convinced of her.

When the woman died, he didn't fall in love with her, but he very much agreed with the Queen Mother's choice.

Knowing that Empress Jiang died because of Empress Zheng's poisoning, Zhao Yan was furious and couldn't stop being frightened.

can attack the queen, maybe one day he will attack the emperor because of dissatisfaction.

With this concern, although he did not turn his face with Empress Zheng openly, he had actually broken off his affection, stayed in Concubine Li's palace every day, and tried his best to make Concubine Li happy.

Concubine Li couldn't laugh at all, and she asked Zhao Yan bitterly, "Since the emperor believes in the concubine, why don't you sanction the queen?" ”

"Your Majesty, don't you care about our lost child?"

"How so?" Zhao Yan sighed, hugged Concubine Li in his arms and comforted, "My heart is the same as that of Concubine Ai, I am extremely looking forward to the arrival of this child!" ”

"I also want to punish the queen, but this matter is very involved, and with the queen mother's ear and face, I can only ...... Endure! ”

"Shinobi?" Concubine Li's tears flowed, "How long do you have to endure it, then you are the head?" ”

After the prince's wedding, he got the support of the military department, and the queen had an extra layer of reliance, at this time, forbearance became a lifelong thing, right?

As soon as she thought of this, Concubine Li's heart tingled.

The grievances of her children's deaths, and the grievances of the former queen's deaths...... Or...... In this palace, how can there be more than these two unjust souls?

This huge harem has a sea of unjust souls, but there is no place for people to redress their grievances.

Even the most powerful person in the world, the emperor, can't do it wholeheartedly!

Since she couldn't rely on others, Concubine Li made up her mind to rely on herself.

She wants to avenge the child herself!
