Chapter 1086: The Angry Queen
Nanny Wei had already walked around outside the palace gate many times, feeling uneasy. She pretended to look at the palace gate, and then pretended to look at the sky, feeling anxious.
What did Princess Chen say to the Queen Mother? Why did the emperor even invite him?
What happened that she didn't know about, and what was the current situation? The Queen Mother used to recruit her to serve by her side, but what was going on now? Could it be Wei Dahai's business?
Thinking of this, Nanny Wei became more and more panicked. She felt guilty. The contract was fake. Of course she knew that her nephew had conspired with her to do it. It was her nephew who had the contract sent to the palace. , threw it in that place, and asked her to accompany the Queen Mother to see it.
If the Queen Mother found out about this, she would definitely be angry.
Aunt Wei's face turned blue, she took a deep breath and told herself not to panic, don't panic yet, it might not be what she guessed. Even if the Queen Mother was angry about this kind of thing, she would not go to the emperor, let alone The emperor took action.
I warned myself again and again, don’t scare yourself, it won’t be that thing, it definitely can’t be that thing.
The palace door opened heavily, and the emperor in a bright yellow brocade robe appeared outside the palace door. He looked at the people at the palace door with his hands behind his back, and finally his eyes fell on Aunt Wei: "Aunt Wei, the queen is inside, you go Wait!”
After saying that, he took the palace attendants at the door and strode out.
Aunt Wei respectfully agreed. After the emperor left, she straightened up, calmed down her panic, and walked into the main hall.
In the main hall, the Queen Mother was still sitting with a sullen face. When she heard the voice, she raised her eyes and looked at Nanny Wei. There was no trace of smile on her face, and Nanny Wei couldn't help but tremble in her heart.
"The Queen Mother!"
"Go and deliver the message and ask Concubine De to come over." The Queen Mother said coldly.
"Empress Dowager, what happened? Empress Dowager De is always filial to you!" Nanny Wei said cautiously.
Having been with the Queen Mother for many years, I know that although Concubine De is not a queen, she is liked by the Queen Mother.
"Did the Ai family say that Concubine De was unfilial?" The Queen Mother cast her cold eyes on Nanny Wei and said with a distant look, "You have followed the Ai family into the palace for so many years, and there have been many ups and downs in the palace. Yudu knows that there is a kind of person who is the least likely to live long in the palace, you should also know that, right?"
"Wha...who is..." Granny Wei's gums knotted up.
"A person who betrays his master and talks too much." The Queen Mother said coldly.
A cold sweat broke out in Nanny Wei's vest. She lowered her head in panic. She gritted her teeth and calmed down before replying: "I understand. I will go and invite Concubine De here now."
No matter what, the matter of Concubine De has nothing to do with me.
"Stay back. From now on, you will say what you need to say and don't say what you shouldn't!" The Queen Mother waved her hand and said.
She has no intention of dealing with Aunt Wei's matter now. Compared with Marquis Chengen's matter, Aunt Wei's matter is just a trivial matter.
After discussing with the emperor just now, I felt that the most likely candidates were Concubine De and the Empress.
Two people cannot be questioned together, otherwise they may be discovered. The Queen Mother and the Emperor went to question each other to see who was most likely to be behind the incident.
Concubine De came quite quickly. After entering, she bowed respectfully to the Empress Dowager, and then asked about the Queen Mother's health. She was very proud in front of the Empress Dowager and was the first of the four concubines. The reason why she gave birth to the emperor's eldest son Not without reason.
After having a conversation with Concubine De, the Queen Mother sent Concubine De back and sat alone in the main hall, deep in thought.
She didn't want to think about what happened back then. How could she not be heartbroken when she watched her son die in front of her? In fact, the Queen Mother had always had a thought in her heart. She felt that her eldest son died of a normal illness. ?
Otherwise, why did he suddenly die halfway through taking the medicine?
The imperial doctor kept saying that it was not possible, and that there was no hope, but he did not say that he died in just a few days. He died suddenly, without even a last word. Was it because his body really couldn't bear it all of a sudden? Or is there another surprise?
But the Queen Mother secretly sent people to investigate, but nothing was found.
Now it is revealed again, and it is vaguely alluded to himself, and who did it. This person is very familiar with the palace...
The news from the palace spread silently, and many people who knew the news were secretly shocked.
First, Marquis Chengen was scolded and had a glass smashed by the Queen Mother. Then the Emperor and the Queen Mother summoned the Queen and Concubine De respectively. It is said that the emperor's scolding was heard in the emperor's study room, and Concubine De came out of the Palace of the Queen Mother. I was also very worried when I was walking, and I almost fell down while walking.
How could it be possible that it was because of a painting by Marquis Chengen?
How much energy does a painting have to cause such a big thing? Although Chengenhou is useless, the Queen Mother has always respected this brother. Even if she is displeased, she will not hit Chengenhou with a tea cup. It is interesting to see People who arrived said that when Marquis Chengen came out of the palace, the blood stains on his forehead were not wiped off and he looked miserable.
This matter must be a big one, caused by Marquis Chengen.
Given the character of Marquis Chengen, he must have been deceived by someone to go to the Empress Dowager to express his opinions. This offended the Empress Dowager, which led to this disaster. Afterwards, Marquis Chengen was removed from his idle post in the Internal Affairs Office, which shows that he was really annoyed. The Queen Mother and the Emperor.
Then there was the matter of the queen and the concubine.
Such things and actions, many people secretly speculated whether they were related to the establishment of an heir.
The matter of the prince had only been discussed in the court before. Many officials believed that the country had no reserve, which would be detrimental to the country. They asked the emperor to make a decision early so that the ministers would not be panicked and helpless.
Thinking about it this way, it makes sense. There are so many concubines in the palace. Why didn't they call others and only called the Queen and Concubine De to inquire? It must be because of His Highness King Yue and His Highness King Zhou.
As for Prince Xin, His Highness is still young and did not pay much attention to the Queen Mother and the Emperor in the past. Recently, I heard that he is not feeling well and has not appeared in front of everyone for a long time. Even if the Ming Concubine in the palace has some ideas, compared to Yue Wang and Zhou Wang, Xin Wang really have no competitiveness.
Is this to locate the East Palace? Everyone is uneasy about who will be chosen. They always feel that the water here is very deep. Everyone still handles it carefully. They are all waiting for the last news from the palace. Which prince do the emperor and the empress dowager prefer to position the East Palace and become the future? The crown prince?
This is a big deal for the next few decades.
Changes in the court situation may also lead to great disasters...
In the Queen's Empress's Fengyi Palace, the Queen slapped her hand heavily on the table and gritted her teeth angrily.
"Mother, please don't be angry." A close confidant on the other side advised in a low voice.
"Why aren't I angry? How did I know what happened back then? Why did I suspect that I took advantage of some things to deliberately stir up trouble in the palace? What happened back then? How did I know? I wasn't there at the time. One place." The Queen was very angry.
Being inexplicably reprimanded by the emperor and even forced to kneel down, for the empress, it was a disgrace to her empress. From now on, she would be asked to behave like a mother to the world and organize the harem.
She was sitting peacefully in Fengyi Palace, but she caused such a big trouble. She was angry and annoyed. She felt that her breath was stuck in her heart, and she couldn't swallow it or spit it out.
For so long, her mother has been in the world, and she has only suffered at the hands of one person, but she has never been as embarrassed as today. The most important thing is that she doesn't know what happened, so why should he blame her.
"Empress, if you did not do this, it might be Concubine De. His Royal Highness King Yue has always been scheming, and Concubine De is also a successful person. Now you and Concubine De are summoned for questioning. I only reprimanded you, which shows that Concubine De was well prepared."
The personal nanny added.
The queen nodded repeatedly after hearing this. She was the one who fell into the plot because she didn't know anything. Since the emperor and the empress dowager called her and Concubine De over, it can be seen that Concubine De is also an object of suspicion. As far as she is concerned, it is neither herself nor herself. , must be the concubine De.
"This bitch!" The Empress wished she could go to Concubine De's palace right now and give her a few hard slaps to make her see her identity clearly.
"Empress, you can't be angry at this time. You have to think carefully and ask carefully. You can't go to Concubine De impulsively."
The personal maid knew the Queen's temper, and when she saw her gnashing her teeth, she knew she was going to do something bad, so she hurriedly tried to persuade her.
"The Empress, you are still involved with His Highness the King of Zhou, but we cannot let His Highness the Prince of Zhou be implicated by you!" Seeing the Queen, Mammy exhaled angrily, fearing that she would be impulsive and bring out the King of Zhou again.
Having said this, the Queen's face calmed down a little. Now is indeed not the time to act frivolously. She has been reprimanded by the emperor before and cannot annoy the emperor anymore. She is the empress of the middle palace and has the legitimate son of the middle palace. , Concubine De, a bitch born of a bitch, can't even think of climbing on top of her.
"I can bear it," the Queen said through gritted teeth.
"Queen, I have inquired before. After the incident with Marquis Chengen, the first person the Queen Mother met was Princess Chen. After that, she sent Princess Chen away without any problems. Then she invited the Emperor. The Emperor left the Queen Mother's loving care. Ning Gong went back to the imperial study to summon you!"
Mammy had just gone outside to inquire clearly. This matter was not considered a secret. After a while, many people in the palace had secretly inquired about it. There was never a shortage of people in the palace who wanted to inquire about this kind of information.
"Summon Princess Chen tomorrow!" The queen gritted her teeth and said reluctantly. It was getting late at this time, and it would be inappropriate to let Shao Wanru enter the palace. Otherwise, she would rather call Princess Chen in right now to ask for details.
"Queen, this happened today. You have to find a good reason to call her in tomorrow, right?" the personal maid added.
"There is a reason, there is a valid reason, she has no reason to refuse!" The Queen said bitterly. She even hated Shao Wanru now. She had long disliked the Shao sisters, let alone now.
