Chapter Seventy-Six: Conspiracy
"I didn't expect your Zhao family to give jewelry to my old wife."
At this time, the Queen Mother leaned on an embroidered soft pillow. Regarding Zhao Jiang's attitude towards Zhao Jiang kneeling in front of him, I couldn't tell whether I liked it or didn't like it.
And without the order of the Queen Mother, Zhao Jiang didn't dare to speak easily, and he had been kneeling for almost half a pillar of incense since he came in.
The Queen Mother kept saying things that didn't hurt.
Although he was angry in his heart, Zhao Jiang still had a smile on his face. The people in this palace are not for him to offend.
Although the current King Yu just wanted to show his benevolence to the people of the world, he left this queen mother.
Even if it is hypocritical, but King Yu still does it on the surface, the queen mother still has the right to speak in the harem, and the queen has other concubines, and the queen mother must also be treated as a mother-in-law.
"The Queen Mother's words are to torture the grass people, although the grass people are a common people, but they were also favored by King Wan back then."
In fact, even the Queen Mother didn't know about this matter. King Wan back then was still kind-hearted. Seeing that Zhao Jiang, who was almost freezing to death outside, he hurriedly took people away, which saved Zhao Jiang's life.
Zhao Jiang's background is not very good, his mother was a concubine, and she was kicked out because of a discord with her mother, but she didn't expect to be pregnant, and she died after giving birth to him.
However, at that time, Zhao Jiang didn't know that he was the Zhao family, so he could only beg along the street, or the king of Wan at that time rescued Zhao Jiang, who was almost frozen to death.
After dying once, Zhao Jiang always tried to live, and after many inquiries, he found his mother's maiden home.
Only then did I know that I was a child of the Zhao family. Thanks to that time, because the Zhao family's housemother was never able to give birth to children. The other concubines also gave birth to daughters. Only then did Zhao Jiang successfully enter the Zhao family, and he became the son-in-law of the Zhao family, and also became the successor of the Zhao family.
The matter of King Wan was left behind by Zhao Jiang, who was rich and dizzy at that time, who would have thought that on the eve of entering the palace, he actually found out that his former life-saving benefactor was King Wan.
It is much easier to contact the Queen Mother under this pretext.
The people in the palace are not to be underestimated. These people are scheming and high-powered, and Zhao Jiang is not 100% sure, he is gambling, betting on the queen mother's love for King Wan's mother and son. also bet on the Queen Mother's dissatisfaction with the status quo.
"I didn't expect you to have such a relationship with that son of a. If so, why didn't you come to save King Wan back then? ”
This sentence was obviously a trap, and Zhao Jiang hurriedly kowtowed.
"The grass people are just a small trader, and they can only do their best to help King Wan in the back, and they didn't expect that Wan Kingdom would be occupied by the rebels like this. On this day, it changed all of a sudden. ”
His voice was crying, and his eyes suddenly turned red. Looking at the man in front of her, the Queen Mother sneered in her heart.
How could she not know that the person opposite was acting? It's just true and false, false and true. They all have their own purposes, so why should they care about whether others are true or false?
The yellow silk handkerchief wiped the corner of his eye.
"You're a good boy too. My son, his life is bitter. Why, why is it so gone? ”
Hearing the sound of the queen mother wailing and crying, the eunuch at the door quickly closed the door.
Fortunately, in the past few years, the Queen Mother has been hiding herself as a grieving mother who lost her son. In addition, the queen mother's family almost withered, and King Yu lost his guard against the queen mother. In the eyes of King Yu, she is just a woman, and she can't do anything.
Seeing the grief-stricken appearance of the Queen Mother, Zhao Jiang hurriedly kowtowed.
"The Queen Mother must take care of her body. Otherwise, the grass people will go underground in the future, how will they face King Wan. ”
The two of you come and go, and after a while, they are like relatives.
"Son, if you have anything to do in the future, please come to the mourning family. Since my unassuming child saved you, he must hope that you will survive. You also have to take care. ”
Zhao Jiang, as an outsider, couldn't stay in the harem for a long time, and after the two of them said a few more words, Zhao Jiang followed the master and left.
Seeing people walking away, the Queen Mother threw the handkerchief in her hand on the ground in disgust.
"It's burning."
As soon as the words fell, the little eunuch stepped forward and picked up the embroidered handkerchief and threw it into the brazier.
"Since Niangniang knows that person is crying hypocritically, why should she pay attention to him?"
The palace maid in charge of the Queen Mother's side is named Cuiliu. Although he is young, he is steady and meticulous. And it was raised by the Queen Mother from childhood. is absolutely loyal to the Queen Mother, from the moment Zhao Jiang came in, Cuiliu could see that this person's mind was wrong.
"What's this, it's just taking advantage of each other. You also know the character of King Wan, and he is ruthless, so saving him must be because he thinks it's interesting. ”
The Queen Mother couldn't know her son better. That Zhao Jiang is also fateful, if he dared to recognize King Wan as his savior at that time, and wanted to use this to get into a relationship, I was afraid that he would have been eliminated back then.
Although I don't know what exactly Zhao Jiang wants to do now. But the Queen Mother is sure that when she came here today, Zhao Jiang just wanted to find a partner.
A partner who can overthrow King Yu.
The Queen Mother stood up and suddenly pushed open the window, and a cold wind blew in. The Queen Mother touched the snowflakes, her hair was already gray, and since the death of King Wan, her body was as good as it was as good as a day.
Since she was born, she has been a noble daughter-in-law, and her mother is a famous daughter of a family.
The boy born is promising, and her position is always unshakable.
However, she never expected that once she mutinied, only a little maid like Cuiliu would be left by her side.
What kind of glory and wealth, in her eyes has long been floating clouds, she now also wants revenge, kill King Yu, for her son, for a justice. Other calculations are nothing to her.
"Cuiliu, the mourning family is a little tired."
Cuiliu hurriedly helped the Queen Mother to lie down, and then quickly closed the window. There was a sudden silence in the room.
The splendid palace can't hide the loneliness of winter.
People come and go, but it looks particularly sad.
……
Pei Yuanxi has locked himself in the house for many days and has not gone out, except for the little guy who delivers food, no one has seen him.
"Stop, Young Master Pei is still inside?"
The little guy lowered his head and didn't dare to look at the person in front of him, this arrogant maid was Li Yinqiao's person, and they would probably be beaten and scolded out of the house if they looked at it more.
"Yes, Young Master Pei has been in it for many days, and he is still studying the so-called power technique, Young Master Pei said not to let others disturb him."
The maid nodded, turned and left. Seeing her gone, the little guy breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's a send-off of the plague god."
