In the afternoon, it was quiet.

The silence was suddenly broken by a servant's anxious pace, on the shelf under the corridor, the green parrot fluttered his wings, pulled his neck and shouted the word "congratulations", but was glared at by the servant and concubine angrily, this pet who was quite loved by Mrs. Rongguo because he was deliberately domesticated and used to say auspicious words suddenly felt greatly wronged, and actually straightened his neck and spit out the word "Diao Nu", which made the henchman cry and laugh, and entered the curtain with a lawsuit.

Not long after, Brother Green Parrot heard his master's angry roar: "What? Death! Who is Webster going to die?! Who allowed her to be so bold, my daughter surnamed Liu, one of the nine concubines, why did she give people to death! ”

Mrs. Rongguo slammed the curtain and ordered the car to be prepared, she didn't even have time to change out of the homely dress on her body, not to mention that she entered the palace according to the regulations and saw that she should wear the crown of the woman who should be worn except for the concession, obviously in a hurry to ask the teacher for the crime.

It turned out that when Liu Siniang was detained and imprisoned three days ago, the Liu family was not as uneasy as the Wang family, just because Liu Xiuyi had already sent someone to explain clearly, and this matter was in her hands, so that her brother and sister-in-law did not need to be frightened, although Liu Siniang's mother did not understand the details of the incident, she could think that with Xiuyi taking care of her in the palace, her daughter would not be bullied in any way, and of course she would obey the advice and wait for the news with peace of mind.

Until today, Liu Siniang was sent back to her home, but she was frightened and like a crazy demon, and sent her daughter home The waiter looked solemn, holding the queen mother's decree, declaring that Liu Siniang was the head of the team, and listened to the order of her aunt Liu Xiuyi to plot to kill Helian Jiuniang, the queen mother read that Liu Siniang was not the mastermind, and was weak, and forgave and forgave without criminal responsibility, but her parents had the responsibility of teaching and exploiting the title, Liu Xiuyi as a concubine of the heavenly family committed the evil of murder, and harmed the family lady to die in the forbidden, and the crime is extremely unforgivable. Reduced to a slave to sin and given death as a policeman!

This is simply five thunderbolts, not to mention how Liu Siniang's mother cried and was angry, seeing that her son was robbed of her official goods and her daughter was killed, the head of the family Shen, who was even more angry, was even more angry, and wanted to come to Rongguo's mansion to complain to her sister-in-law, but because of her age, it was a sudden earthquake, and Shen fainted on the way, and the family had to send it back to be busy asking for a doctor, and only a steward informed Mrs. Rongguo of the bad news.

Mrs. Lu was anxious to burn the smoke and "kill" the Hanxiang Hall - as early as when the Empress Dowager Lu was alive, she gave the Rongguo couple the privilege of entering the palace without an edict, even if the Empress Dowager Lu died, not to mention that when Dezong was in power, even if He Yan inherited the throne, he did not deprive the Rongguo Duke and his wife of such honor, not to mention that because of Liu Xuanqing's case, He Yan became more and more fond of Jingzhao Lu.

Of course, if the Queen Mother is unwilling to see Mrs. Lu, even if Mrs. Lu enters the palace, she will not be able to force herself into the Hanxiang Palace.

Even if the Queen Mother is disgusted with Rong Guogong and his wife in private, she has always treated her with a series of courtesies on the surface, which is also to avoid giving people a handle to criticize her for being ungrateful, not to mention the ordinary, even if she invites a banquet, she has never left Mrs. Lu behind, but today, the Queen Mother has blocked Mrs. Lu from the Hanxiang Hall and is not allowed to enter.

Where is Mrs. Lu willing, quarreled with the eunuch on duty outside the Hanxiang Palace, and turned around and went to the Zichen Hall to face the saint in a fit of anger, the Son of Heaven of course already knew about Helian Jiu's murder case at this time, and heard that the Queen Mother was going to give Liu Xiuyi to death, and was also worried, to say that he didn't have much impression of the Liu family, but he didn't want to hurt people's lives anymore and be troubled by nightmares, and then he was also deliberately biased to help Rong Guogong's family, not to mention that Rong Guogong had resolutely stood on the position of eradicating Xie Raoping over the years, just said that this was the grandmother Empress Dowager Lu's nephew and nephew. The Son of Heaven, who adheres to filial piety, will also take care of Liu Xiuyi for a few points, but this kind of matter is a harem matter, and it is impossible for him to discuss it with several important ministers, and he is afraid that the Queen Mother will make a decision, so he hesitates to refute it.

At this moment, Mrs. Lu heard the news, and the Son of Heaven had to agree to meet her in the Hanxiang Palace.

Although the Queen Mother did not reject the palace together with the Son of Heaven, she still insisted on not allowing Mrs. Lu to enter the palace, which made Mrs. Lu, who originally thought that she had a solid backer to move the Son of Heaven and win the battle with her hands and be arrogant, became more and more angry, and even blurted out: "The saint has seen and heard it with his own eyes and ears this time, and the Queen Mother dares to refuse to see me, isn't it presumptuous and rude?" Even if the saint is pure filial piety, he is too indulgent to the queen mother. ”

This somewhat made He Yan dissatisfied, complaining that Lu Fu was unscrupulous, and he was disrespectful to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother was his biological mother, and she should be respected by the whole country. But because of his temperament, He Yan did not correct Mrs. Lu's attitude, so he had to comfort her to wait here, and he frowned and walked into the Hanxiang Hall with heavy steps.

The Queen Mother was not surprised by the arrival of the Son of Heaven, and the mother and son were also exempt from those hypocrisy and politeness, and without waiting for the Son of Heaven to explain her intentions, the Queen Mother went straight to the point: "The Liu family wants to fight for the benefit of her niece, and kills the ladies of the family in the ban, this matter not only gave her the command to the palace people to confess truthfully, but even Liu Siniang has also confirmed it, there is no doubt that its viciousness and rampant are simply shocking to the world, and it is not enough to maintain the law and palace rules and the royal system if not severely punished...... Even Lu Sanniang committed the following crimes of secret bribery and collusion when she entered the palace, which shows that morality is corrupt, and I also intend to depose it. ”

The Son of Heaven was taken aback: "Mother...... After all, Liu Xiuyi is the niece of Mrs. Rongguo, and she is also the younger generation of her grandmother's in-law, although she is guilty, cutting her concubine is not a palace slave has been considered a heavy punishment, not to mention that her brother has also been affected and seized the official position, and she hopes that her mother will be gracious and spare her life, and Lu Sanniang, but it is just a small mistake, and it has not caused any evil consequences, if it is deposed, even the reputation of the Rongguo Mansion will be affected, after all, the Rongguo Duke is the grandmother's nephew...... I hope that my mother will forgive me. ”

"Have the saints ever thought that the Helian clan is also a saint's courtier, and a daughter of Hao Duanduan was killed and forbidden for some reason, if the real murderer is not executed, what will they think? There is also Wang Shiniang, she is even more conspicuous to her daughter-in-law, if the Liu family's treacherous plan succeeds, and she will be burdened with the crime of forcing people to die, how will she deal with herself in the future? Her grandfather was the prime minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty and had always been loyal and upright, but her granddaughter was framed but couldn't get justice, so didn't she complain that the emperor was unfair and protected adultery? The Queen Mother also seemed to think that the Son of Heaven would try her best to protect Liu Xiuyi, but she was not in a hurry to persecute at this time: "If the saint is bent on forgiveness, of course I will also take into account your decision, but I am your mother, and I always and everywhere consider the reputation of the saint. ”

"But the grandmother ......" Although he felt that he was wrong, the Son of Heaven was still hesitant, obviously wanting to favor the country and the public.

The Queen Mother simply interrupted the words of the Son of Heaven: "This matter is not in a hurry to be dealt with immediately, the sage still thinks carefully before making a decision." ”

It seems that the situation has eased, Liu Xiuyi will not be executed immediately, and the Son of Heaven has also temporarily explained to Mrs. Rongguo, and after several appeasements, Mrs. Lu finally reluctantly left the palace.

But Liu Xiuyi's murder of Helian Jiuniang still spread rapidly, although the Helian family, who broke a daughter in vain, was indignant, but the Liu family did not show the slightest remorse, and I don't know whether it was leaked or rumored within the Liu family, and a saying spread in the market - the queen mother originally decided to put Liu Xiuyi to death, but Mrs. Rongguo entered the palace to threaten her, but the Liu family was not imprisoned as a palace slave, this is only temporary, the Liu family is not ashamed, and there will be no discussion when the time passes, and the Liu family will always have a day to reset.

So many people stirred up the murder of Yu Shilang, and the more they reprimanded the Lu and Liu families for being arrogant and unscrupulous, the Son of Heaven had the intention to protect and be unfair, and it was boiling for a while, but about these discussions, the Son of Heaven He Yan was unaware.

And the party Rongguo Mansion not only disagreed, but even proud, Lu Rui's villain actually admitted to many rumors, in order to show off the family's prominence as if it was already the head of the ten hopes, the world can let the surname Lu run rampant, Lu Sanniang under the influence of her family, especially her brother, is also indispensable, although she is not on duty in the palace, but still every day will lead the eight attendants to gather together to give a lecture, so that everyone is more attentive in talent, qin, chess, calligraphy and painting strive to be the first of the four teams.

I don't know who I was bewitched, for the Liu Jiuniang sisters who refused to go to the last invitation, Lu Sanniang, who was not at ease, was jealous, and on this day, she actually sent a servant and maid, and went to Liufu with a high spirit, and threw down a sentence loudly: "Tell your Jiuniang and Eleventh Niang, if you don't take the initiative to ask for forgiveness from my Sanniang in Lu Mansion within three days, unless you don't go out to socialize in the future, you ......" The servant sneered twice: "My Sanniang will not let go of the two of them." ”

When these words reached the ears of Mrs. Wei, she couldn't cry or laugh: "Digging their own graves, Jing Zhaolu fell into the hands of Rong Guogong and his wife, how many years of prestige are doomed to be ruined, ignorance and arrogance to this extent, no wonder the Queen Mother can allow them to show off their might." ”

Of course, Mrs. Tai refused to let her granddaughters go to seek grievances, and only told Jiuniang and Eleven Niang as a joke: "Although you don't need to pay attention to such arrogant villains, you will inevitably bump into them when you get out of the party, and you can prevent Mo from being conspired and plotted, our Jingzhao Liu Clan's boudoir will not do such spineless things as flattering others, if in the future, Lu's daughter will be bullied in front of her, and she will be powerful in public, although we are not strong and competitive, we can't be bullied." ”

Jiuniang and Eleven Niang did not hesitate to say it, and they didn't take it to heart.

And when a few days later, Eleven Niang came to the date of entering the palace again, and she left Lu Sanniang behind.

She is now extremely sure that the Queen Mother's target is Lu Sanniang, and it is impossible for her to continue to be arrogant.

Eleven Niang considered that she had to find an opportunity to warn King He Ye of Jin, and it was best not to let the Queen Mother smoothly install Chunying, a diehard loyalist, by his side.

And the opportunity came unexpectedly -
