Chapter 406 Strong and Strong
The person who came slowly took off his cloak, revealing a thin and pale face.
The empress dowager was shocked and stood up abruptly, "Oh my god, is Aijia dazzled?"
She staggered and rushed over, someone came to support her and hugged her.
Only then did the empress dowager feel real, hugged her tightly and cried, "It's Aijia's precious lump!"
Murong Jie stepped forward with a smile, "Okay, it's not too disgusting to scream like a lump, little aunt can't stand for a long time, she's just right, let her sit down quickly."
That's right, the person who came was the Eldest Princess Murong Zhuangzhuang who was already half dead.
The empress dowager let her go quickly, and Zian stepped forward to help her sit down, "Sit first, don't get excited."
"It's okay!" Zhuang Zhuang took a breath, her body was indeed weak, but after resting for two days, she was much better.
"What's going on? When did you wake up? Why doesn't the Ai family know?" The queen mother wiped away her tears and asked.
Zi'an said: "Actually, two days ago, I found Dr. Yuan and secretly bought the blood antelope horns. With the blood antelope horns as medicine, people woke up that day."
"You didn't tell Aijia what happened two days ago?" The empress dowager was furious.
Murong Jie comforted him: "Of course you can't say this. Once you say it, my little aunt's life will still be in danger. Empress, don't you know? Liang Shulin was recommended by the imperial concubine. She wants my little aunt's property." , if the news of my little aunt waking up is known to her, she will kill her at all costs."
"How could Liang Shulin be recommended by your concubine?" The Empress Dowager was startled, "He was recommended by Master Cui."
"The reason, Rong Zi'an will tell you slowly." Murong Jie pushed all the things to Zi'an.
Zi'an glared at him, and told about Liang Shulin's bribery of assassins to assassinate Master Cui before he rescued him, and also about the collusion between Liang Shulin and the Concubine Gui, and finally said: "We knew from the beginning. The noble concubine colluded with Liang Shulin. The purpose of the noble concubine was to get the princess's family wealth. At the same time, she also used the princess' accident as an excuse to order you to pass the king of Nanhuai back to Beijing. The two plans were carried out at the same time. You will really choose Liang Shulin as your son-in-law, so that she will be unprepared, and she will have no time to save her when she announces the decree today. This is why the prince will let Eunuch Sun revise your decree, which must be hidden from you Yes, otherwise, you might utter the truth in front of the imperial concubine, as long as you let her know in advance that the candidate for the son-in-law is Xiao Xiao, she will spare no effort to destroy it. This good thing must have side effects, then our previous efforts will be wasted, so Although the prince lied to you, he was thinking of the overall situation, so don't blame him, the queen mother."
The empress dowager was horrified, "So, she still hasn't given up on that idea?"
"She never gave up and will never give up!" Murong Jie said.
The empress dowager remembered that she had frequently entered the palace recently, but in fact she wanted to know what she was thinking, so as to determine whether her plan was successful.
She couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat. At that time, she really thought that she had changed her mind, so if she had known Ah Jie's plan in advance, she would have vomited it to her.
The empress dowager couldn't help being sad and angry, "She is so stubborn and restless, it really breaks the heart of Aijia."
Zhuang Zhuang said: "Sister-in-law Huang, it's not worth getting angry at yourself. You just don't believe what she says in the future."
The empress dowager took Zhuang Zhuang's hand, and said with tears: "Zhuang Zhuang, you really scared Ai's family to death this time, Ai's family is getting old and can't stand your repeated tossing, sooner or later you have to take this Take an old life, you don't think about other people's good, but also think about Aijia, okay?"
Zhuang Zhuang had tears in his eyes, "I'm sorry, Mrs. Huang, I didn't mean to make you sad."
The empress dowager hugged her, "Okay, it's all over, as long as you're fine."
Zi'an said: "Yes, it's all over. In fact, the princess is not allowed to enter the palace today, but she insists on entering the palace for you to meet."
The empress dowager sighed, looking at her thin face, remembering what the emperor had done to her, she couldn't help sighing again, "The Ai family would like to say sorry to you on behalf of the emperor."
Zhuang Zhuang laughed, crying so much that it has nothing to do with you, you don’t need to say sorry, as for the emperor’s thoughts, I know, I don’t blame him, maybe, if I were sitting in his seat, I would also this way."
"You really think so?" The empress dowager didn't believe that she could take it easy. After all, the emperor's decision made her suffer for eleven years.
"The person in power has a lot of helplessness, and he can't tolerate any soft-heartedness. It would be irrational if he cared about my family relationship and let the threats go. Besides, the Xiao family is so big, and Hou Ye and Xiao Xiao don't have ambitions, so there may not be any side branches." Zhuang Zhuang said.
In fact, she didn't think so in her heart, the Xiao family's loyalty to the imperial court can be shown to the sun and the moon, but only thinking like this can make her feel more comfortable.
Moreover, she knew that the Xiao family would not rebel because she had been in contact with the Xiao family for a long time before, but the emperor did not. To the emperor, the Xiao family, like other military officers, has real power and abundant troops, so it is normal to be afraid .
The empress dowager nodded silently, and suddenly thought of another question, she asked Murong Jie, "By the way, your mother concubine... What is the concubine the noble concubine doing? Zhuang Zhuang woke up for two days and you waited to announce it today because Is there any movement from her?"
"Yesterday, she took out the banknotes from the state-owned bank to buy a batch of weapons. These weapons are expensive, and she doesn't have enough money to pay, so she can only pay the last installment." Murong Jie said indifferently.
The empress dowager glared angrily, "So, she plans to wait for Liang Shulin to marry Zhuang Zhuang, get Zhuang Zhuang's family wealth, and then pay the final payment?"
"That's right!"
The empress dowager sneered, "Then this time, she lost her wife and lost her army."
Zi'an didn't raise his eyebrows, "Actually, the main purpose of our delay for two days is to ask you to give a marriage to them both. We also expected that Lord Hou would not agree to a public divorce letter, so the best way is to It was in the court that he was publicly forced to admit the letter of divorce, but now that Yi's order has been issued and he has accepted it, everything will be easy."
"He has a lot of worries, Aijia understands him." The Empress Dowager said.
Murong Jie said: "Xiao Xiao is worried, Master Hou is worried, you are worried, little aunt is worried, and that's why tragedy is almost brewed. This king thinks that there is nothing to worry about. Marry whoever wants to marry, marry whoever wants to marry, it's a big deal." Everything has a solution.”
"Well, it is now, but Han Qingqiu was not dead at the time..." The Empress Dowager looked at Murong Jie, "Did Han Qingqiu really commit suicide in fear of crime?"
Murong Jie was silent for a moment, "Yes, it was indeed she who killed Yaozhi."
"This slut!" The empress dowager was furious, "It's a good deal for her to commit suicide, if she falls into the hands of Ai's family, she must be tortured."
The Empress Dowager knew that Zhuang Zhuang was very sad for Yao Zhi's death, and she always valued these feelings.
Zhuang Zhuang didn't speak, but his cold face added a bit of sternness. She suspected Han Qingqiu at the beginning, but it was because of no evidence and she didn't want to entangle with the two of them. Now that she killed Yaozhi, Zhuang Zhuang wished it was her. Killed her by himself.
