Chapter 388

There was a flash of sharpness in Murong Jie's eyes. The old lady's question seemed to be casual, but she was actually asking for his opinion.

Because whoever is lifted up means whoever is in power in the harem.

However, it is impossible for Murong Jie to intervene in the matters of the harem, he said: "The women in the harem are all virtuous, the queen mother can rest assured, but I have to learn from the queen's lesson, and it is impossible for the relatives to be promoted again. Otherwise, it is the second queen."

The empress dowager thought for a while, and there was probably only Concubine Mei who had no power of relatives and was above the concubine position.

Concubine Mei's natal family was implicated in the affairs of Mrs. Xia's family and fell into a slump. If a person has suffered setbacks, at least he knows how to behave.

The empress dowager knew something in her mind, and remembered another thing, "The empress came to Aijia today and said that you are going to frame Concubine Yi for having an affair with the crown prince, what's going on?"

Murong Jie laughed, "Is the queen mother asking what happened to Concubine Yi and the crown prince, or whether the son-in-law tried to frame him?"

The empress dowager slapped him with a smile, "When did Ai's family ever suspect you? But the queen came to find Ai's family in a hurry, it must be you who let the wind out."

Murong Jie yelled that he was wronged, "My son really didn't let out any rumors, this matter is still measured, it will damage the reputation of the royal family, it is impossible for my son to do this."

"What's going on? The queen wouldn't fabricate this to coax Ai's family, would she? It's not good for her or the prince, and it dragged Concubine Yi into trouble..."

As she spoke, she stopped suddenly, unless, unless they were guilty.

Why are you guilty? Because it is true.

The empress dowager's face suddenly became ugly, she looked at Murong Jie, "Tell Aijia, what do you know? Did Zian really see it?"

Murong Jie put his arms around her shoulders and scolded with a smile: "You old lady, you are very suspicious. Zi'an didn't see anything, so why don't you go to the palace and sue you right away? Zi'an and Concubine Yi don't deal with it."

"Really? Don't treat Aijia as a fool." The empress dowager didn't believe him.

Murong Jie said: "What are you doing coaxing you, an old lady? If you want to coax, I will also find a young and beautiful girl to coax you."

"Go, go, don't try to change the subject, but when you talk about this matter, Aijia is a little worried. The queen was also corrupted before, and she gave Zi'an a heavy drug. Zi'an is barren. You, the regent, are of the same line." It can't be stopped, don't blame the Ai family for being troublesome about this matter, even if the Ai family doesn't mention it, your mother and concubine have to mention it."

"Hey, you're thinking of asking me to find a concubine so soon? This king can't decide, just talk to Zian." Murong Jie said lazily.

The Empress Dowager said: "If you agreed, did the Ai family really ask?"

"Ask." Murong Jie said seriously.

The Empress Dowager narrowed her eyes, "Will she agree?"

"Do you dare to disagree? You told her personally, and she has to agree even if she disagrees." Murong Jie said frowning.

"Look at the prestige you pretend to be. I'm afraid you're afraid. Come on, the descendants of our Murong family are all afraid. Just look at the third child and you will know that you are like a grandson in front of Ah Man." The empress dowager laughed. But it is very reluctant, it can be seen that there are still unpleasant things hidden in my heart.

How could Murong Jie not know that she is strong and happy? Glancing at her, he said with relief: "It's alright, it's alright, be happy, won't the men of Murong's family support it when the sky falls? You should eat, sleep, and have fun."

The empress dowager couldn't pretend anymore, and said with tears: "Don't coax Aijia, Aijia knows that Xin'er's condition is not good, Zhuang Zhuang's life is hanging by a thread, and the blood antelope horn is gone, what should we do now? You Why did our Murong family come out with a bastard like a prince? The Ai family really has no face to face their ancestors."

"What does it have to do with you? Don't take all the bullshit on yourself."

The empress dowager took his hand, "Now the emperor's condition is getting worse. It seems that he may not be able to make it through this year. What should we do? The situation is too chaotic. If he dies, what kind of chaos will he be in? .”

"Soldiers come to block the water and cover it with earth, what can we do?" Murong Jie frowned, the emperor's condition is indeed serious, but what can be done? His illness cannot be made public, and the queen mother will not agree to let Zi'an go to see it. Besides, there is no cure for this disease. Even if Zi'an treats it, it may not be cured. Instead, he will be charged with a crime.

The Empress Dowager was always thinking about that matter, and after thinking for a while, she looked at Murong Jie solemnly, "If there is really something between Concubine Yi and the Crown Prince, you must suppress it and not allow anyone to disclose it, he is still alive When it is time, save some face for him, the Ai family will go to investigate, if it is true, Concubine Yi can't keep it."

Murong Jie said sternly: "This is a non-existent matter, don't look into it, once you do, even if you don't have it, people will be suspicious. There are many gossip in the harem, you know?"

Concubine Yi is not an idle character, she hastily went to investigate and leaked the news, once Concubine Yi becomes ruthless, she will be very dangerous.

Seeing his reassurance, the empress dowager was relieved, "Well then, I will listen to you, and I will not investigate."

In order to make her happy, Murong Jie leaned close to her ear and said something, which made her almost jump up, "Are you serious?"

"Can this still lie to you?" Murong Jie said.

The Empress Dowager wiped her tears and murmured: "That's good, that's good, thank Zi'an for the Ai family, I didn't expect that the Ai family could still look forward to this day, he must be alive, he has hope in this life. "

On the other side of the Jingning Palace, there was a sense of lifelessness.

Ever since the decree came down after the abolition of the court discussion, the empress has been sitting on the chair in the main hall of the Jingning Palace, sitting in a very straight posture, as usual when receiving concubines, with a proud posture.

The past flashed through her mind like a revolving lantern. She started from the Concubine of the Dragon, when the emperor was still a prince, she was already a princess, and when the emperor ascended the throne, she was immediately named a queen. In her whole life, They are all on the rise, have never suffered any hardships, and no one can shake her position.

She thought that if there was any change in her life, it would be from queen to empress dowager.

After sitting for a long time, I heard a voice outside the hall.

The palace maid came in, "Your Majesty, the Prince and Taifu are here."

The queen looked at the gate of the palace and said indifferently: "Pass!"

She is no longer a queen, but Concubine Liang, who doesn't even have a title. Does it mean that she is no longer a member of the royal family? But she is not from the Liang family anymore, since the day she married the emperor, she has not been from the Liang family.

After the prince and Taifu entered the palace, they closed the gate of the palace, and all the palace people were sent out.

As soon as the gate of the palace was closed, the prince knelt on the ground straight and wept bitterly, "My mother, my son and minister are not filial, and my mother has been hurt."

The queen didn't move, just watched him cry condescendingly, without a single tear in his eyes.

Neither did she.

Seeing her expression like this, the Taifu knew that she had resentment in her heart, and said: "Today's action is a last resort, we can't really let Murong Jie depose the crown prince, the crown prince is deposed, do you still have hope?"

The queen laughed strangely, "Is there no hope? If the crown prince is abolished, who will be installed? King Liang, King Liang is also my son, and I still have hope."

Tai Tu said coldly: "Do you think King Liang can survive? Just now I asked the imperial doctor who treated my father for my father, and the imperial doctor said that the chance of surviving is less than 20%."
