Chapter 461: Empress Dowager's Concern

Fuyang Palace, Empress Dowager Yuan pondered for a moment, then asked Zhanliu: "Do you think this news is true or not?"

"It's not a secret that the envoys of the Dingbei Army came to the imperial capital to ask for medicine for Uncle Zhaowu." Zhan Liu said softly, "My maidservant also heard about it a few days ago. It's just that Vice General Qi also needs medicine, but this medicine is very special." Rare and scarce, even Ouchi only collected one copy... But few people know about it. Thinking about it carefully, it is not impossible. After all, the news after Uncle Zhao Wu was assassinated said that Vice General Qi had blocked him at that time Before that, he was stabbed several times in his body, and his injuries were extremely serious. So, the poison of Uncle Zhaowu needed medicine, how could Vice General Qi not need it? It’s just that it’s hard to divide one medicine, so His Majesty must also be thinking about Uncle Zhaowu. Not a word."

After all, everyone in the world knew that Qi Jiulu was desperately protecting Uncle Zhaowu, even if it was his job as a subordinate and his future son-in-law, it was hard to talk about this kind of thing.

Anyway, if Uncle Zhaowu used this medicine alone, no matter whether Qi Jiulu lived or died, he would definitely be infamous.

If it was one person and half, even though both of them could survive, they would be just two cripples... Patriarch Qi couldn't accept such a son, and Gu's probably couldn't accept such a result either.

"The Ai family is not talking about this." The Queen Mother Yuan shook her head slightly, and said, "You can find out about Yao Yin after a little inquiry, and there is no room for fraud. The Ai family is saying, is there anything strange about this matter?"

Zhan Liu thought about it for a while, but thought of it with the Qing people: "It's a bit of a coincidence! There are no treasures in the emperor's treasury, so why is the only medicine cited?"

"Isn't it?" Queen Mother Yuan narrowed her eyes and sneered, "Besides, when Uncle Zhao Wu was assassinated, he obviously had his own heirs and personal guards by his side, and it was a lieutenant who blocked him in the end... even if this lieutenant was about to marry His concubine's daughter is the second son, but it's too coincidental! Plus the only medicine quotation... Hehe, the emperor is kind, even if there is only one copy in the entire internal treasury, if he and the people around him can't use it, The subject wants to ask for help, and he will definitely not refuse. It's just that there is only one item, no matter how generous the emperor is, it is impossible to conjure up a second one!"

"In this way, Uncle Zhao Wu and Qi Jiulu, who were originally very friendly sons-in-law, are now facing the situation of competing for the only share of medicine!"

"This time is the most popular!"

Of course, the Empress Dowager Yuan has no interest in the sincerity of the two parties. What she cares about is, "Of the many people in the Dingbei Army, only Qi Jiulu and Uncle Zhaowu are in a life-and-death crisis. And Qi Jiulu has an old relationship with the imperial concubine... Gu's It’s a good calculation!”

Zhan Liu frowned slightly, and felt that Gu was very suspicious, after all, the assassination took place in the Dingbei Army.

That is Uncle Zhao Wu's territory!

Moreover, the assassin is still the remnant of the regent, who is said to be the remnant of the regent, but in fact, after the sudden death of the regent and his wife, neither of the two sons got the real Yu Ze. The two brothers, Gong Xiangzhen, don't know why, let alone the others.

On the contrary, Uncle Zhao Wu, he was a fellow of the Prince Regent, I'm afraid he knew better than the Prince Regent's own son.

This also means that if this uncle wants to forge a so-called assassin who has been hiding in the army for a long time and wants to avenge his old master, it will be effortless!

Even a thorough investigation by the Imperial City Division may not be able to find out the clues.

"It's just that Mrs. Gu has dealt with the imperial concubine's thinking too well?" Zhan Liu couldn't help asking, "Although the imperial concubine and Qi's son were an unmarried couple, the imperial concubine was only twelve years old when she left Beidi. The friendship of childhood, when there is no conflict of interest, can still warm the heart. In such a situation, the noble concubine will step into the trap if she is stupid? This is a mistake that ordinary women can't make. Not to mention that Concubine Min has a vicious mind. It's a good stubble!"

Empress Dowager Yuan said softly: "Otherwise, how could this news suddenly reach Ai's family?"

Zhan Liu was startled: "You mean?"

"Ms. Gu is probably trying to borrow a knife to kill people!" The Queen Mother Yuan sneered, "The noble concubine will definitely not be fooled! This Xiaoyun has only been in the palace for a few years? With her background, she has climbed to her current position so quickly. If the emperor No matter how merciful my son is, I will even drag down that idiot Gu Zhen, live in Yanfu Palace by myself, and even take charge of Qingci Palace in the future... It is not impossible! Such a master, let alone just betrothed to Qi's son, Even if there was an oath of eternal love, how could it be possible to be moved by a little affection from the past? Of course the Gu family understands this truth, but do they have any choice?"

"Wei He's new Khan and Da Yan clan are all in charge of the state!"

"There will be no war in the Northland for a long time to come. Whether it's the Dingbei Army or Uncle Zhaowu, the court won't need them for many years to come."

"If it is said that they still had some bargaining chips back then, they have nothing now."

"Whether you can keep the glory and wealth, whether you can die well, and whether you can let the prince under the knee of the middle palace enter the East Palace can only depend on the emperor's will."

"The point is, although the emperor has no plans to break the promise so far, how can you rest assured that he favors Concubine Min?"

"At the beginning, Huang'er and Ai's family also sincerely wanted to promise to the Ouyang family? It's just that the situation changed later. Didn't they change to Gu Zhen?"

"Who knows that the Gu family is not the second Ouyang family?"

The queen mother breathed out slowly, "They are also decisive. Taking advantage of the great victory, all the attention of the whole country is focused on the Dingbei army. Come on like this! In this way, as long as the noble concubine's old love for Qi's son is caught Even if the imperial concubine cannot be ruined in an instant, it will still be a thorn in the emperor's heart. In addition, the imperial concubine is in her twenties, how many years can she be young? After two years, she will be married to the emperor The appearance and temperament of the two are similar to those of the imperial concubine when she was a teenager...the imperial concubine is almost like a niangniang, who was raised in the palace by relying on her past love. The concubines are not easy to bully, but they are no longer able to influence the candidate for the crown prince."

"It's just that Mrs. Gu also knows in her heart that no matter how well they plan, the imperial concubine may not be willing to cooperate!"

"That's it, but I'm counting on Ai's family to do something!"

Zhan Liu frowned: "Ms. Gu has a good idea! Your Majesty loves the noble concubine quite a lot. This kind of thing, or not let His Majesty know for the rest of your life! Once His Majesty knows...how will it be?"

She sighed, "Fortunately, the lady can see clearly, let's pretend we don't know about this..."

"How is it possible?" Empress Dowager Yuan sneered, and said, "This is an opportunity that comes to your door. If the Ai family wants to miss it, is it true that they really came here to take care of themselves?!"

Zhan Liu was a little worried: "But your majesty, if His Majesty finds out..."

"If you know it, you will know it." The Empress Dowager Yuan looked indifferently, glanced at her, and said slowly, "It's fine for outsiders not to know, don't you also think that when Ai's family comes back to the Imperial Capital, they are reluctant to part with the glory and wealth, the crowds around, and Can't bear the emperor?!"

See dipped willow dazed.

The queen mother sighed softly: "Ah, yes, did the Ai family tell you? There is no way to do it, the emperor is smart, the noble concubine is cunning, although Gu Zhen is a bit stupid, old master Gu and others are not easy to save money." Deng... Aijia has to be more cautious, but I forgot, and you didn't even mention it."

"No matter how you say it, the Ai family has raised the emperor's son, even if it is not in the imperial capital, anywhere in the world, except for the imperial concubine who is favored by the emperor and has deep thoughts, who would dare to show the face of the Ai family? "

"As for the emperor... When the Ai family left, they said that when the emperor grows up, there is no need for the Ai family anymore!"

"The reason why Aijia came back..."

Empress Dowager Yuan had a half-smile, her expression gradually turned cold, "Naturally...to seek justice for the Xingningbo Mansion!!!"

"It's a serious crime like confusing the royal blood, and the family is indeed not wronged."

"But my family knows my own affairs."

"Qihuai and the others, even though they are quite high-sighted and uncoordinated in their virtues, they are not so easy to put all their eggs in one basket!"

"At that time, Lianniang fell out of favor, and Zhiniang's own flesh and blood was not only the emperor's daughter, but also died within two days of landing... Ai's family was in the harem, gradually losing to the noble concubine, and it was indeed going from bad to worse. How about taking away the Ai family and the Yuan family?"

"Isn't Uncle Xingning's mansion at the critical point of life and death, so why do you risk the world's dissatisfaction and confuse the royal blood?"

"Besides, in the past two years, two groups of people have entered the palace one after another. If there is no such thing, the empress, noble concubine and concubine De concubine can put a few candidates in, and the Ai family will not be able to do it?"

"Zhi Niang failed to give birth to the prince, and even the princess couldn't keep it...then arrange for the girl to enter the palace."

"Anyway, the emperor's son is still in his prime. Who can be sure that there will be no more concubines of the Yuan family in this palace, who have their own emperor's heirs?"

"You said, Qihuai and the others are not smart enough, they are always easy to be led by the nose, but if they are only thinking about things to make the family better, as for in this situation, would they take such a risk?"

"They're just not talented enough, they're not out of their minds!!!"

The empress dowager became emotionally agitated, and she sat up straight, "And after experiencing the incident in the Northland, Qi Huai also knew that he was not as good as others, so he didn't dare to make decisions on his own, but he would take the lead in everything he did. Ask Aijia for instructions... If no one persuades him, how could he keep this kind of thing a secret from Aijia?!"

When Empress Dowager Yuan heard about the confusion of bloodlines, she was shocked, and her first thought was that Xingningbo Mansion was cheated!

This is actually not the first time.

As far as Yun Fenghuang knew, in order to increase his status in the emperor's mind, and also to help Chunjia take over the government as soon as possible, the Xingning uncle's mansion privately got involved in the North, Xie Fenghuan's ruin, the failure of Xie's and Qi's marriage, Chao Jingyou married Qi Jiulu... and a series of other things, all have their shadows.

But the tragedy is, they think they are trying hard, but they are just being taken advantage of.

The real mastermind is Ji.

Even if it wasn't for Chunjia's deeper scheming, she was almost dragged into the water by these pig teammates...

For Empress Dowager Yuan, the sad thing is that at the time in Beidi, she was able to make an announcement with Chunjia immediately after she noticed the clue, so as to resolve the grudge.

But regarding the Eighth Prince, she didn't even have the qualifications to express her doubts.

Who told her to be kept in the dark, and treat the so-called eighth prince as the prince with Yuan's blood, and try her best to protect and favor her?

In addition, she forced Gu Zhen to adopt the child, and at that time there was an unsuccessful negotiation to establish a prince...Empress Dowager Yuan herself couldn't get rid of her intention to confuse the bloodline and support the young master, so how could she be with Chun? Jia said that he suspected that the Xingningbo Mansion was framed by someone?

After all, the fact is that even if Uncle Xingning’s Mansion was once again used and cheated, if they didn’t have a little bit of confusion about bloodlines, using Empress Dowager Yuan to support the new king’s mind of his own bloodlines, and the real murderer’s plan behind the scenes, it would be impossible conduct!

As the daughter of the Yuan family, the Empress Dowager Yuan naturally has feelings for the Yuan family of Fuyang. Even if there is a love-hate relationship, facing the result of the destruction of the family, she must gradually forget their disappointment and feel sorry for their stupidity and harm.

But from Chunjia's standpoint, I also knew that he would not be so sympathetic to the Yuan family.

So the Queen Mother could only keep silent.

Even up to now, they dare not reveal a single word to the emperor.

Otherwise, with Chunjia's shrewdness, can she not suspect her real intention of coming to the Imperial Capital?

At that time, the relationship between the mother and the child has finally recovered a little bit, and it is impossible to say that it will take a sharp turn for the worse again.

After all, apart from this friendship, the current loving mother, the empress dowager, has nothing to give to the emperor who is already in Yujiyu.
