In the imperial study of the Chengguang Palace, Sun Kui was reporting to Emperor Wu of Zhou the ins and outs of the appearance of snakes in the spring hunting enclosure.

After hearing this, Emperor Wu of Zhou looked unshocked, as if he had long expected who the real mastermind behind the scenes was.

Seeing that Emperor Wu of Zhou didn't react at all, Sun Kui asked in surprise: "Your Majesty, do you already know that the mastermind behind the scenes is the queen mother?" ”

Emperor Wu of Zhou's legs were crossed on the imperial table, and his feet were shaking.

"Who else but her?" After speaking, he raised the corners of his mouth and let out a sneer, "As far as her brain can fool anyone, she can only lie to herself." ”

Listening to Emperor Wu Zhou's tone, which was full of disgust for Empress Xie, Sun Kui thought to himself that if the Empress knew that she was so disliked by the emperor, she wouldn't know how to feel.

"Your Majesty, what should I do next?"

"Let Concubine De come out." Emperor Wu of Zhou said indifferently, "You take the results of the investigation to the empress." ”

Sun Kui was a little surprised when he heard Emperor Wu Zhou's last sentence of anger: "Your Majesty, don't you go to Zhaoyang Palace?" ”

Emperor Wu of Zhou glanced at Sun Kui obliquely, "What are I doing in Zhaoyang Palace?" ”

"You don't want to ......," Sun Kui considered his words, "Aren't you going to talk about the queen mother?" ”

Emperor Wu Zhou's eyebrows furrowed, and he said with a somewhat cold expression: "I don't bother to tell her." ”

"That'...... Just show the results of the investigation to the queen? "Does Sun Kui mean that Emperor Wu of Zhou did not punish Empress Xie?

"I can't punish her for the time being, after all, my concubine is still living in Zhaoyang Palace." Emperor Wu of Zhou picked his nose and said, "You tell her that for the sake of my concubine, I won't worry about her for the time being." With that, he flicked the boogers out of his fingers.

"Warn her to be honest and stop doing things that don't go wrong." Emperor Wu of Zhou then picked his nose, "My patience is not so good, and I will not forgive her again and again."

Sun Kui saw that Emperor Wu of Zhou's tone of voice was neither salty nor light, and he couldn't tell whether he was angry or not angry.

"Your Majesty, are you angry with the queen?" He asked directly.

Emperor Wu of Zhou glanced at Sun Kui and said, "Are I so idle, I don't have time to be angry with her." ”

If the queen mother heard the emperor's words, she didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

After picking off his nose, Emperor Wu reached out and scratched his buttocks.

"Do I sometimes really suspect that the queen is the biological daughter of the old town prince?"

Sun Kui asked in astonishment, "Your Majesty, why do you say that?" ”

"Because the queen is so stupid." Emperor Wu of Zhou said, "Lao Zhenguo Gong didn't mention it, just said that Zhen Guogong and Xie Wan, both of them are smart people, but the queen is a stupid person. ”

Emperor Wu of Zhou supported his face with his right hand and said, "Duke Zhen Guogong is a very shrewd person, Xie Wan is a very smart and clear person, and the queen ......" Speaking of this, Emperor Wu Zhou smashed his mouth, "Look at what she has done in the past few years, which one is smart." She also thinks she's hiding it well. ”

"The queen mother is indeed inferior to the prince of Zhenguo and the former queen." Sun Kui said, "After all, the queen mother is the daughter of the Xie family, and she has been loved by thousands of people since she was a child, so it is normal to be a little willful." "The queen always pretends to be dignified and elegant in front of the emperor and others, but in fact, her true face has long been seen through by the emperor. In the eyes of the emperor, the queen mother is a spoiled eldest lady since childhood.

"Arrogance makes her brainless." Emperor Wu of Zhou shook his head and said.

"But, Your Majesty, the Queen Mother cares about you very much." The queen mother is a wayward lady from a family of door valves, and she never restrains her temper in front of others, but in front of the emperor, she is very dignified and gentle.

"Aren't they all dignified and gentle in front of me?"

"That's what the emperor said."

"If it weren't for Xie Wan's face, I would really ......"

Before Empress Xian died, she repeatedly begged Emperor Wu of Zhou to treat Empress Xie well.

"Fortunately, she still has some brains and didn't make a big fuss." Empress Xie has made a lot of small moves in the past few years, which is harmless, so Emperor Wu of Zhou turned a blind eye to what she did.

"The queen mother knows your rebellion, and she can't and doesn't dare to do anything that angers you."

"That's why the Duke of Zhenguo arranged for Qin Xiulian to appear in front of me." There is such a stupid sister, not to mention that she can't help everywhere, and she is dragging her feet, so Zhen Guogong can only find another way. "You said that she has often followed Xie Wan since she was a child, why didn't she learn Xie Wan's cleverness at all?"

"Your Majesty, how many women in this world can be as smart as the first queen?" No, in the emperor's heart, Liang Zhaoyi is the smartest and most beautiful woman in the world.

"Look what she taught Xiao Qi to be." Emperor Wu Zhou's tone was very disdainful, "Their mother and son still think that they hide it well, do you think they treat me as a fool or a blind person." ”

Sun Kui said silently in his heart: Your Majesty, is this the reason why you don't like the Seventh Highness?

"The queen relied on her status as the concubine of the Xie family, so she thought she was nobler than anyone else. As for Xiao Qi, relying on himself as a son-in-law and the nephew of the Xie family, he also thinks that he is more noble than the prince, and thinks that I should make him the prince. ”

Emperor Wu of Zhou's words, Sun Kui did not respond well.

"Both mother and son think that they are of noble blood and that all people in the world should be honored for them."

Sun Kui could only respond with a dry smile.

"Go to the queen and tell her what I said." Emperor Wu of Zhou really didn't bother to see Empress Xie.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Sun Kui saluted Emperor Wu of Zhou, and immediately bowed and retreated.

Sun Doudou, who was guarding the door of the imperial study, saw that Sun Kui's face was not very good, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked with concern: "Master, what's wrong with you, the emperor reprimanded you?" ”

Sun Kui took the dust and knocked Sun Doudou's head, and said angrily: "Our family didn't make a mistake, the emperor reprimanded our family for what to do." ”

Sun Doudou smiled at him flatteringly: "Didn't I see that your face was wrong." ”

"Let's go to Zhaoyang Palace, you guard the door." Sun Kui shook off the dust and went to Zhaoyang Palace.

In Zhaoyang Palace, Empress Xie learned that Sun Kui was coming, thinking that he was visiting Qin Xiulian on the order of Emperor Wu of Zhou, but she didn't expect to come to see her.

"Grandpa Sun, does the emperor have any orders?" Empress Xie guessed that it should be related to Qin Xiulian, and she was very unhappy in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face.

"Niangniang, the emperor asked the slave to show you this." Sun Kui took out an envelope from his arms and handed it to Empress Xie with both hands.

Empress Xie took the envelope, and when she saw that nothing was written on it, she was puzzled.

"What is this?"

"You'll know when you see it."

When Empress Xie heard this, she opened the envelope and looked at the contents of the letter inside, and her face changed suddenly. I saw her eyes widen, and her always dignified and decent face showed a shocked look.

Seeing Empress Xie's frightened face, Sun Kui relayed the words that Emperor Wu of Zhou had explained to him to Empress Xie.

"Niangniang, the emperor asked you not to do these things again." Emperor Wu Zhou's original words were not a matter of infiltration, and Sun Kui could not tell Empress Xie so directly, so he could only convey them euphemistically. "The emperor also said that his patience is not so good, and he forgives you again and again for what you did."

Empress Xie's face was pale, and her hand holding the letter trembled slightly.

"The emperor said that for the sake of Miss Qin's injuries in Zhaoyang Palace, this time the matter will be settled."

When Empress Xie heard this, her pale face suddenly turned red, and she showed a shy and angry expression on her face.

"Queen Mother, if the emperor asks the slave to tell you, the slave and the maid have already told you." Sun Kui saw that Empress Xie's face was ugly, and hurriedly saluted and said goodbye. "The slave and maid are gone."

After Sun Kui left, Empress Xie tore the letter in her hand to shreds.

Jiang Chuan, who was standing on the side, was full of horror. She didn't expect the emperor to investigate the matter of spring hunting and releasing snakes so clearly. They are obviously doing it seamlessly, why does the emperor still investigate them.

Thinking of what they did, the emperor knew it, Jiang Chuan trembled with fright.

"Niangniang, the emperor actually knows everything......"

"For Qin Xiulian's sake, forgive me...... "Empress Xie is most concerned about this, not that Emperor Wu of Zhou found out that she was the culprit for releasing snakes on the spring hunt.

On the other hand, Concubine De learned that she had lifted the ban and no longer had to be placed under house arrest in Yishou Palace, so she knew that Emperor Wu of Zhou had found out the real mastermind behind the scenes and returned her innocence.

"Niangniang, it's really good that the emperor has returned your innocence." Manqing is happy for Concubine De.

"It wasn't originally made by Hongu." Concubine De said, her face became resentful, "It must have been done by the queen." ”

"Niangniang, it may be that the concubine and the concubine did it, not necessarily the queen's mother."

"Concubine Shu is not so stupid, and Concubine Liang does not have this scheming, only the queen." Concubine De said hatefully, "She wants to kill two birds with one stone." ”

"Niangniang, if it was really done by the queen, the queen should release a very poisonous snake and bite Concubine Rong to death." Manqing didn't feel like what Queen Xie did, "The snakes in the paddock are just ordinary poisonous snakes, not deadly. ”

"She doesn't have the guts." Concubine De smiled contemptuously, "The queen doesn't have the courage to let the most poisonous snake bite Concubine Rong to death." ”

"Why is that?"

"Because the emperor cares about Concubine Rong." Concubine De said coldly, "If Concubine Rong is bitten to death by a poisonous snake, the emperor will definitely not give up, and the emperor will never spare her as a queen at that time." ”

"That's what the mother said." Manqing said again, "The emperor didn't punish the queen." ”

"It's a blessing to have a good sister." Concubine De hated Queen Xie very much in her heart, "This palace will definitely discuss this account with the queen." ”

In Zhaoyang Palace, Concubine Rong learned that the emperor ordered Concubine De to be released from house arrest, and also knew that Emperor Wu of Zhou found out that the mastermind of releasing snakes before was not Concubine De.

Jin Mei said: "It seems to be the queen." ”

"Who else but her." Concubine Rong had long suspected that it was Empress Xie.

"However, the emperor did not punish the queen."

"Xie Yi, that slut has done so many things, and the emperor has punished her several times." Concubine Rong gritted her teeth angrily and said, "For the sake of the first queen, the emperor turned a blind eye to what Xie Yi's slut did. ”

"Mother, you have been bitten by a snake, and you are a poisonous snake." Jin Mei was upset for Concubine Rong, "How can the emperor treat you like this?" ”

"Am I all right?" Concubine Rong said, "If something happens to me, the emperor will naturally not spare the queen's slut." ”

Jin Mei is still upset about Concubine Rong: "But ......"

Concubine Rong interrupted Jin Mei's words, "The queen's slut is not to be feared, now our biggest opponent is Qin Xiulian." ”

Although Concubine Rong was very disgusted with Empress Xie, she never took Empress Xie in her eyes, because she knew that Emperor Wu of Zhou did not like Empress Xie. The reason why the emperor respects Empress Xie is mainly for the sake of the former Empress and the Xie family.

However, Qin Xiulian was different. She looks exactly the same as Si Youying, who Emperor Wu Zhou has always been obsessed with. The emperor put Qin Xiulian in his heart.
