Shao Wanru's face darkened, her eyes darkened, she understood what the butler meant.
When a picture was presented to the court, others couldn't understand it. How could the Queen Mother not be able to understand it? And being reminded of such a past event, it was a picture presented by her own brother. The Queen Mother couldn't bear it for a while, and she would inevitably faint, and then... A serious illness.
The emperor also understood this picture. Even if he was not there at the time, he must have asked about it later, so he was also aware of it. Seeing that the Queen Mother had to endure it for a long time and could not afford to fall ill, there was no place to get angry because this picture was inherited. What Enhou Mansion presented was the wishes of Chengenhou, who was also the emperor's uncle.
The emperor could not attack Marquis Chengen when the Queen Mother was ill, so the emperor did not attack Marquis Chengen who presented the picture. This matter seemed silent, as if nothing happened.
There should still be some rumors in the harem that pointed out that the Queen Mother had murdered the late emperor. The Queen Mother's health became increasingly poor, and she lingered on the sickbed until she died of grief.
All of this implies that the Queen is the mastermind behind the scenes.
If there is anyone in the palace who knows what happened back then, the Emperor is the most suspicious. If there is anyone in the palace who wants to deal with the Queen Mother, it is really the Queen Mother. After dealing with the Queen Mother, this inner palace The eldest is the Queen.
So the emperor was furious and imprisoned the queen. He might even want to depose the queen. This led to the subsequent rebellion of King Zhou. It can be said that King Zhou would not benefit from the whole thing.
So this matter was not the result of the Empress and the King of Zhou. It should be someone else, Chu Liuyue’s mother, Concubine De, or His Highness Prince Cheng outside the palace?
Shao Wanru's brain was spinning rapidly. At the moment, she was most suspicious of these two people.
In the last life, Chu Liuyue was defeated in the end. Shao Wanru didn't know what happened. As for the specific situation of King Cheng, she had no memory at all.
She reached out and rubbed her eyebrows. In her last life, she was far away from the center of power. She didn't know many things, and she still had some missing memories. She really didn't know the specific things.
"Princess, please be careful!" Seeing her silence, the butler reminded her that since the princess also saw this painting, she would definitely be involved.
The prince was not in the house, so he must not let anything happen to the princess. This was what the prince had repeatedly told him when he left.
"Princess, when the prince left, he said that if the palace becomes suspicious of the princess, I will wear the piece of natural warm jade that the prince gave you."
The butler reminded again.
Shao Wanru naturally remembered that piece of natural warm jade pendant. It was when the Queen Mother saw this piece of jade pendant that she temporarily agreed to marry her Chu Liuchen. Later, she replaced this jade pendant with another piece of jade pendant. He gave it to Chu Liuchen again, and Chu Liuchen kept wearing it.
When he left the capital before, Chu Liuchen specially left this jade pendant to her. His smile made her think about it, but it turned out to be an amulet prepared for her early. He felt warm in his heart, bit his lip, and nodded in agreement. .
Sure enough, a summons came to the palace soon, and the Queen Mother summoned her to enter the palace.
Shao Wanru dressed up a little, put on the jade pendant left by Chu Liuchen, and followed the summoned palace attendants to the Queen Mother's Cining Palace.
There was no one else in the main hall, and the Queen Mother sat high on a chair.
Shao Wanru's sharp eyes saw a wet patch on the ground. Although it had been cleaned up, it could still be seen that this patch should have been wet just now. In the far corner, there was a piece of broken porcelain that had not been cleaned up in the future.
It seemed that Marquis Chengen had been here and presented the painting to the Queen Mother. Fortunately, there was no one else here, and the Queen Mother did not embarrass herself in public and was unable to step down. She seemed quite calm at this time.
Things all came together, and Shao Wanru had no choice but to ask Chengenhou to present the painting at this time. If he presented the painting in front of the emperor's ministers at the birthday banquet, something big would really happen. .
But at the moment, she feels bad for the Queen Mother because of Aunt Wei, and the Queen Mother doesn't like her everywhere at this time, which makes her feel a little sad.
Subconsciously pressing the jade pendant at the corner of her skirt, she felt at peace.
Even though it was difficult for him to go through this test, Chu Liuchen had already prepared things to protect himself.
He took two steps forward and knelt down respectfully to the Queen Mother: "See the Imperial Grandmother!"
The Queen Mother's eyes fell on her coldly, and she did not let her get up. She looked at her carefully. Finally, her eyes dropped and fell on the jade pendant hanging around her waist, and her expression softened slightly.
She gave this jade pendant to Chu Liuchen, so how could she not recognize it? The fact that the child actually sent the jade pendant to Shao Wanru again and again made her really unhappy.
But no matter how unhappy she was, thinking that the only one Chu Liuchen had cared about for so many years was Shao Wanru in front of her, the Queen Mother, even though she was full of displeasure, could hold back the anger in her heart at this time.
"Get up!" the Queen Mother said calmly.
Of course, if it was proven that Shao Wanru had ulterior motives, she would not hold back, but before that, she had to remain calm and not convict Shao Wanru with one-sided words. After all, what happened at that time had nothing to do with Shao Wanru. , even Princess Ruian can’t possibly know anything.
Everything seems to have nothing to do with Shao Wanru.
Shao Wanru responded and stood up.
"I heard that you went to Chengenhou Mansion before?" the Queen Mother asked coldly.
"I went to the Marquis Chengen's Mansion and saw a painting by Marquis Chengen. It was very similar to what my wife had prepared, but it was more in line with the artistic conception than my wife's. She felt ashamed and wanted to see other people's techniques. Remedy." Shao Wanru lowered his head softly and said without any hesitation.
Collect paintings outside and find references from famous artists. The purpose is of course to make the paintings you prepare more perfect.
Shao Wanru originally wanted to deal with the Queen Mother's questions and answers, but unexpectedly, he unintentionally got involved and attracted the attention of Zhao Xiran and Zhao Shangshu's family.
Seeing that she answered smoothly without any panic, the Queen Mother nodded secretly. It seemed that this matter really had nothing to do with her?
"How do you know that there is such a painting in the Marquis Chengen's Mansion? Why did you bring one of your own paintings with you at that time?" the Queen Mother asked again.
She suspected Shao Wanru because Shao Wanru was able to bring out the painting immediately.
"When I went to my grandmother's house before, I took the painting with me. I originally wanted Mrs. Chengenhou to correct me. Mrs. Chengenhou has the closest relationship with the imperial grandmother, so she must know the imperial grandmother's preferences. The painting has not yet been It’s in shape and can be corrected a little bit.”
Shao Wanru explained calmly, as if he didn't know that the Queen Mother was staring at her with a scrutinizing gaze.
The trip to the Marquis Chengen's Mansion was booked in advance, and the post was sent there first. Once the paintings were prepared, it was settled.
Mrs. Chengenhou is the Queen Mother's sister-in-law. In the past, she and her sister-in-law were closer, which was normal.
With this explanation, the matter of Shao Wanru taking the painting to the Marquis Chengen's Mansion can be explained. There was nothing incongruous in the whole process. Looking at Shao Wanru's expression, he was also very relaxed and did not look like he was arrested. He looked guilty and nervous.
"How long have you been preparing for your painting?" The Queen Mother's expression softened slightly. Although she had opinions about Shao Wanru, this was not evidence that Shao Wanru was planning something.
"It has been a long time in preparation. When I was at Yuhui Temple, I prepared maple leaves." Shao Wanru looked a little shy and lowered his head further, "I heard from His Highness King Chen that the Queen Mother likes maple leaves."
Beautiful maple leaves are also very beautiful when collected. Some people love flowers, and naturally some people love maple leaves.
Of course, this gift must be given according to its purpose.
"Something happened between my grandson's daughter-in-law and Shao Baolin when we were at Yuhui'an. There were many maple leaves in the maple forest, and my grandson's daughter-in-law picked up many of them. Later, she picked them several times before she got these good ones. "Shao Wanru explained again.
Something did happen in the maple forest of Yu Hui'an, and Shao Yanru plotted against her.
Since the Queen Mother wanted her to marry Chu Liuchen, she was also concerned about some things. She had heard about this matter. At that time, Aunt Wei had no ill intentions towards Shao Wanru, and she knew that King Chen seemed to care about Shao Wanru. I prefer Shao Wanru.
Thinking of this Shao Baolin, the Queen Mother frowned and was very unhappy. At that time, it seemed that this Shao Baolin was still related to Prince Qing. It seemed that the two of them were somewhat ambiguous in the maple leaf forest. When she thought of this current Even though Shao Baolin, the son of a woman, had been in the cold palace, the Queen Mother felt a sense of boredom in her heart.
Now that Shao Wanru's words have been mentioned here, it seems that they are indeed well-founded, and they have indeed been prepared early. It is not that they deliberately created such a painting after knowing something.
"Sit down!" He pointed to the chair on the side and motioned for Shao Wanru to sit down.
Shao Wanru responded meekly, walked to the chair and sat down, with a natural look on his face, without any relaxation after being nervous or showing any signs of abnormality.
It seems like I really don’t know anything anymore!
The Queen Mother can secretly confirm that this matter has nothing to do with Shao Wanru, and it should not be her.
Since it was not her, the Queen Mother stopped asking her about Maple Leaf and changed the topic, "What happened to Dieyi Zhai you mentioned before? Does the female shopkeeper really want to sell the shop to you? Is it possible that people who don’t know how to make money themselves must make you make money?”
If it weren't for the fact that all the doubts about the previous matter had not been eliminated, the Queen Mother would not have asked such a trivial matter.
Shao Wanru was really relieved at this time, knowing that he had escaped this disaster, but his face did not show it, still as calm as water. He raised his head and reported: "Grandma Huang, there is something inside in this matter. , and it’s also... related to Nanny Wei, my granddaughter-in-law doesn’t know what to say!”
Regardless of how Aunt Wei had slandered the Queen Mother, or how she and Wei Dahai had plotted against him, now was a rare and good opportunity.
