Chapter 414 Unswerving
"Why is the emperor here?" The Empress Dowager looked at the tall and straight figure standing in the hall in puzzlement, seeing him wave away the crowd with a deep voice, did she come here to discuss something important with her?
Wei Zhen put the tray on the Kang table, and retreated respectfully to the door. Gently closing the palace door, looking up at the sky that was about to rain, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart. The most honorable mother and son in the world don't know what will happen in the future.
"The queen mother knows what is in the tray." After walking up to the head and sitting down, Zong Zhenglin pushed the tray in front of the queen mother. Tapping the table with knuckles, there is no abnormality at all.
The Empress Dowager leaned forward slightly, she was so covered with red silk, how could she guess. "Rong Ai's family has just seen it..." The fingertips wearing the gold and jade hollow armor slowly lifted the cover, and as soon as she saw the contents of the tray clearly, the Queen Mother stopped her hand and moved away. The words that have not yet been exported come to an abrupt end.
The hall was unusually quiet, the mother and son sat opposite each other, both silent and not saying a word.
Useless things! The empress dowager was in a hurry, how could the emperor find out about it. Now that the stolen goods were under her nose, she didn't know that she had to give an explanation this time.
"What do the emperor and Ai's family think about this brocade handkerchief of unknown origin. It's too indecent to present a woman's personal belongings like this." I had to start to think, who in Changning Palace should be pushed out to accept the crime is the safest.
Naturally, Nanny Chen couldn't do it. Could it be that he sacrificed the palace maid who had been with her for four or five years and held her family's life in her hands?
The origin is unknown... Since the origin is unknown, why avoid it for fear of being late. That's all, the harem routines have been seen clearly since childhood.
"I left the emperor's son in the Changning Palace with peace of mind. I really trust the mother's love, love, sincerity, and sincerity. It should be the same as mine." Slowly turning the fingers in his hand, Emperor Jian'an stared at the empress dowager with blazing eyes, and called The empress dowager blinked without realizing it.
"Last night, the secret guard took down a palace lady. That lowly servant girl was carrying this thing in her pocket, and was about to touch into Chengyou's bedroom." The emperor's meaning was already clear when the point was over.
The medicinal powder was identified by Yugu, but it was just some specially made pollen that could cause people to go to the doctor. No human life is taken, and there is no other hindrance.
Risking the charge of decapitation to attack the current prince, but using such a painless trick, the intention is clear at a glance.
"It's just that I understand that you should not work too hard, and I want to take the two of them back to the noble concubine in half a month. The queen mother will be ruthless and use medicine for Chengyou?"
This time it is pollen, next time, if there is another dispute, what should be used?
The queen mother was so angry that her fingertips trembled, unexpectedly he really lifted the fig leaf, and clearly revealed her intentions. If someone really exposed her actions like this, she would still be blamed by her own son, so how could she hold back her face.
"The emperor came here to question Ai's family?" After the anger, he asked coldly. After all, he is a person who has experienced wind and rain in the harem, and he can hold the high position of the fourth concubine for more than ten years during the Yuancheng Emperor's time.
Although she did not do this properly, she had no intention of harming others. Convinced, let him go back, because of the love between mother and child, the emperor can't hold on to it.
This matter really needs to be investigated, because she misses the emperor's grandson and wants to stay longer because of illness "not to see the wind". At this moment, the queen mother still kept her face. He planned to ask someone to prepare a scapegoat, so as to preserve his reputation.
"The emperor can deal with the court lady who committed the crime. The Ai family also listened to the bastard's words of the screwdriver, so they just came up with this idea. Chengqing Chengyou can go back to the palace with the emperor later. The Ai family is also exhausted, if it doesn't matter It's up to the emperor to go."
This is to drive people away, showing off the empress dowager's airs, trying to cover up this matter and never mention it again.
Zong Zhenglin's eyes flashed, seeing that she was holding herself up and refused to bow her head, her eyes fell on the two strands of white hair at the temples of the Empress Dowager, she finally got up silently, and walked slowly outside the hall.
Seeing that she was about to leave the palace gate in two steps, Mu Xiyao's small face with pear blossoms appeared in front of her eyes. The little thing looked at him so trustingly, Zong Zhenglin paused.
It's better to be more thorough with the precautions that should be taken.
"Mother Empress." Before leaving the door, Emperor Jian'an turned most of his body around, half of his face was hidden in the dark, with light and shadow floating, leaving only one sentence, but the Empress Dowager froze suddenly, and the Buddhist beads in his hand suddenly rolled to the ground.
"When the first emperor was lying in bed, he ordered spies to search all the palaces. But there was no omission in any porcelain bowls with medicinal residues."
Pushing open the door and going out, waiting until the person in the crown was no longer visible, the Empress Dowager was dizzy in front of her eyes, and only these words lingered in her mind. Thinking of the sudden imperial edict, the empress dowager's eyes darkened, and she was so frightened that she collapsed.
The late emperor secretly inspected the medicine dregs utensils! And ordered people to search her bedroom!
Then the almonds that she asked Nanny Chen to secretly replace, could it be... cold sweat, the queen mother lay on the couch in a state of confusion. No, never let the late emperor find out. If not, she would have lost her life long ago.
Seeing the tray delivered by Zong Zhenglin, eyes suddenly lit up, and the Empress Dowager was terrified, still lingering.
It's him! He must have acted secretly to cover up the crime for her. Otherwise, how did he know how the late emperor acted secretly.
The empress dowager's forehead throbbed again and again. The biggest handle in this life falls in the hands of his own son. And the crime is still unforgivable-King killing the king and plotting treason!
No wonder his attitude has become increasingly cold lately. I thought it was due to the increasing prestige after ascending the throne, but I never thought...
Thinking of this, the queen mother suddenly thought of the man who was also the emperor. Having been by his side for more than thirty years, since Emperor Yuan Cheng was secretly suspicious of her, it's no wonder that he drafted the will before leaving.
She felt uncomfortable for a while, as if someone twisted a needle and poked her heart again and again. After all, she has been in the same bed for decades, she is not a rock, how can she remain indifferent. It's only strange that there is no room for sincerity in this harem, and he has never put her in his heart and cared for her wholeheartedly.
Under the discouragement and laziness, the scenes in front of me flashed, like the silhouette of a lifetime, the color gradually dimmed.
Mu Xiyao didn't know how Zong Zhenglin negotiated with the Queen Mother that evening. But seeing the two little buns returning to her side safely, each of them hugging her arm, calling mother and concubine affectionately, chirping about the new things in the past few days, it made her very heart-warming.
Raising his eyes to look at the person sitting opposite him, he was as shrewd and decisive as Emperor Jian'an, and his eyes fell on her mother and son in a daze. Muyao girl Hei Liang's eyeballs twitched, yes, Mr. Boss was cold-hearted by his own mother, and she had to comfort her at this moment.
Called Qing Ya to take two little things down to change clothes and wash, once there was no one else in the room, Mu Yaoxi twisted her body and stuffed herself into his arms, it was very sticky to hold people.
"Your Majesty, this time the concubine believed in you, which is very useful." She praised and thanked you, but she forced her to say that it was not a good thing.
This time it works, but next time, what the imperial concubine and empress mean may not be the case.
It's not over yet, the little goblin is thinking that Mr. Boss is not feeling well, so she needs to put more thought into it.
Pulling the man's temple hair, he abruptly pulled the emperor closer, put his arms around his neck, pressed him against his chest, and patted his back. "Your Majesty, you just saw the expressions of the concubine, mother and son, as if they were envious."
The man's body was slightly stiff, Mu Xiyao raised her brows, and understood. So what about the showdown between mother and son, as a qualified concubine, she has to strive to be the first in every way, always taking into account the emperor's preferences.
"At this moment, the concubine sent the little guy away, so I have time to hug you, so that you don't feel treated coldly by the concubine. Or, the concubine will also tell you a story?"
Then who said that there is a difference of a few centimeters between a man and a son.
The posture is the posture of holding a son, and the tone is even better!
Being coaxed by her like a child, Emperor Jian'an's complexion was dark, he bit her chest, hugging her and throwing her on the couch was a torment. Between lips and teeth entangled, hearing her yelling and moaning, the word "emperor" is lingering, and my heart slowly softens.
"Jiaojiao." Nuan Nuan answered her, pressing her lips for a long time. He didn't know that she had a clever mind and was deliberately trying to please him.
Fortunately, no matter how gloomy the palace is, she will eventually accompany her hand in hand.
It is as sweet as sugar, and it will never change in this life.
