Three Hundred and Fortieth Eight Chapters Desperate

Empress Dowager Yuan's eyes turned cold for a moment, she stared at Empress Dowager Qu for a while, and said slowly, "You... Seriously?"

Seeing Empress Dowager Qu nodding her head proudly and arrogantly, Empress Dowager Yuan was silent for a moment, and said, "The emperor is smart, and you can't hide it from him! The Ai family is willing to swallow their anger and help you get rid of the suspicion, it is for the sake of the emperor's face, It's also for your and my face. Since you don't want it, let Huang'er investigate and find out the truth!"

"You are always like this, obviously for yourself, but you coerce the emperor in everything." Queen Mother Qu sneered, "It's as if you are really his mother, so you have to think about everything for him. But you also know, Your Majesty, he is talented and intelligent, so it is not easy to be fooled at all? You have raised him for many years, but in the end he was no match for Xiaoyun's red sleeves and sweet words, why didn't you think about it? Oh, maybe you just think that , it’s Xiaoyun’s cunning, it’s the emperor’s ungrateful son, but he doesn’t think how many times you have fooled him! When he knew it when he was young, he couldn’t help you, and when he grows up, can’t he drift away from you?”

"Taking this time as an example, are you really swallowing your anger for the sake of the emperor? Or do you know that you can't hide the truth from the emperor, and deliberately pretend to be tolerant and generous to show him?"

"In the emperor's city, since the Yuan family has done things to confuse the blood, who knows if you, the loving mother, empress dowager, will say something bad when you come back to the hometown of Fuyang County. ? Can he not keep an eye on it? Will he not know how I got here these days? The reason why I am indifferent is nothing more than that I still favor you in the end!"

"In this case, you know that you have been framed, but you back down, insisting that someone else did it, you and I are both victims... What will the emperor think? No matter how smart he is, you raised him, Can he not feel more guilty towards you and feel better about you? Looking at my biological mother, even though she was pregnant and gave birth to him in October, she did nothing for him. She even wanted to frame your loving mother, the Empress Dowager, and give him more love. Trouble! In the future, won't he be more and more unwilling to pay attention to me, and more and more indulge you to be harsh on me?"

Empress Dowager Qu said coldly, "Stop pretending to me! If I believe in your evil this time, and really admit what outsiders have done, when the limelight passes, how do you want to liquidate me? You also have the face to say that you are giving in!" "

Empress Dowager Yuan had no expression on her face, and said indifferently: "Ordinary people raise a dog and a cat, and it is impossible for them to put their heart and soul into it after many years. Not to mention that the emperor's son, as a bastard, is of course the son of the Ai family. The Ai family is on him. You can't imagine the painstaking efforts you put into it! You said that the Ai family deliberately manipulated you, it's nothing. The Ai family really doesn't like you. But you said that the Ai family only used scheming to the emperor... Then you are too serious The heart of a villain is the heart of a gentleman! The Ai family can say with a clear conscience: The Ai family has always treated the emperor as their own flesh and blood!"

"So what?" Empress Dowager Qu said sarcastically, "Even if it's your own flesh and blood, who doesn't have any selfishness?! Otherwise, why did you raise your niece and daughter together and teach His Majesty to let her go? She?! Not to mention suppressing the concubine that His Majesty really likes and promoting his own niece after His Majesty gained power? If you really treat him seriously, then you should focus on him, and you like what he likes. You don’t like what you like. You dare say that Yuan’s courage was not connived by you? They knew you would not stand idly by, so they dared to do anything! It’s just that His Majesty was so decisive that even your I didn't give face, and ended up burying the big family!"

"It's also fortunate to have met a leader like His Majesty. If it were someone like the late Emperor Xiaozong, I'm afraid that after the Ji clan goes, the world will only be replaced by your Yuan clan to be the master of the house. When will the Gongxiang clan's blood be able to survive?" Real gold and jade, not because of a queen mother like you, controlled by outsiders?!"

Then he said, "You don't have to coax me anymore. Your Majesty is not close to me. You see, just now you mentioned him, saying 'Emperor', yes, the one you raised will become your son, even if Now that he has grown up and is sensible, he knows that it’s not that I don’t want to take care of him personally, it’s not that I don’t want to get close to him, it’s not that I don’t want to cultivate him personally, it’s not that I don’t want to do something for him... It’s just that I came from a humble background, and I only relied on The concubine Ji who was favored by the late king for her beauty. If he was not born by luck and supported by the concubine, he would have died just like Kunze's biological mother, and then disappeared in the light of the day. Know nothing!"

"But the fact is that he was raised by you. In his memory, it was you and not me who accompanied him from the moment he was ignorant and got along with him day and night. He will only get close to you, and he only treats me because of blood relationship. For the sake of the department, a little pity."

"So even if he knows that you have been harsh on me these days, and even wants to kill me directly, he still pretends not to know anything..."

She sighed softly, "So, from the beginning to the end, I was the same as everyone else, calling him 'Your Majesty'... He is your son, and he has been your son since he was carried to you when he fell to the ground , has nothing to do with me anymore! What can I do? With my background, no amount of means can help! Therefore, I like the imperial concubine you don't like very much. "

"Even though Concubine Min doesn't completely trust my overtures, I really like her... I often think that if I had her courage and intelligence, I wouldn't have had such a hard time in the palace, would I? Over the years, I can't just be numb and make a display? Is it possible that I can help His Majesty occasionally, so that I won't be his biological mother who is dispensable or even gone? Of course, I know, Min What the concubine can do, I can't do at all. Concubine Min is a poor family in the eyes of a high-ranking family like the Ji family and the Luo family, but compared to my background, she is actually considered wealthy. Anyway, she is also a Hunu envoy The servant girl grew up and knew how to write poems and etiquette... What about me? When I entered the palace, I didn't even know the words!"

"Anyway, I've thought about it a long time ago. No matter how serious the incident this time is, His Majesty is my own flesh and blood. He can sit and watch you force me to die, but it is unlikely that he will personally kill me."

"In this case, what am I afraid of? You still need to worry, he is alienated from you. "

"As for me, I have nothing to worry about."

"Because Your Majesty has never been close to me."

"Then, do your so-called concessions and grievances make sense to me?"

Empress Dowager Yuan sat motionless for a while before she said softly: "But if you are alive, what use is it to the Ai family and the emperor's son?"

Empress Dowager Qu was not intimidated by these murderous words, instead she laughed and said softly: "The status of your mother and son, the world is so big, how many people are there, are there any uses for you? But For me, I'm alive, but that's the most important thing."

On that day, the Holy Mother Empress Dowager led her servants to rush out of the mansion, and shouted in the street that the loving mother Empress Dowager was the leader and wanted to kill her, and announced the "two empress dowagers vying for a man" to the world, which shocked the government and the public!

"This is really a shame that has never been seen in the ages!!!" Ouyang Yanran and other important officials are people who are used to not showing their emotions, but their faces are rarely livid. Is the head of the world dead? The majestic empress dowager actually did such an act, it is simply... unsightly!!!"

Then he sighed, "Let's report this matter to His Majesty slowly. His Majesty was already furious last time. Reporting it again this time may not be good for the body. In this way, you and I will discuss a countermeasure first, so that we can appease you at that time."

The colleagues all felt that it made sense, because if they imagined that their own mother did something like this, they would definitely not be able to bear it, let alone the royal family, the dignified emperor?

But they didn't know that when Ouyang Yanran invited them to sit down and discuss, she gave the young servant a wink quietly, and the young servant took the opportunity to sneak out to convey the news.

So it didn't take long before the empress received a message: "It's not good, ma'am, another major incident happened in Fuyang County! The Holy Mother and Empress Dowager put all her eggs in one basket and sat down on the street to confirm her face-to-face matter. Now the whole country is in an uproar!"

The voice lowered, "Just now, the news came from the previous court, saying that Lord Ouyang is suppressing the news for the time being, and will report it to His Majesty later. I asked the empress, do you have any ideas?"

The queen was startled one after another, and said, "I have never heard of such a big event, so where do I have any idea?"

"Your Majesty, the maid guessed what Mr. Ouyang meant, and it shouldn't be for us to help you figure out a countermeasure." The queen is mediocre, and there are one or two smart people on the left and right. Seeing this, she quickly pointed out, "Master Ouyang thinks there is something terrible in it." It’s a place for you to make a fuss, so you want to show your favor to your empress?”

Having said this, Gu Zhen thought deeply.

Gu Shi and Ouyang Shi have never had any friendship.

Even if there used to be, since the emperor repented and made her his successor, there are almost none.

After all, who likes someone who picked their own peaches? Or a peach of the descendant level?

What is Ouyang Yanran doing to suddenly move closer to the queen at this moment? It's hard for Gu Zhen not to think about the former Concubine Shu and Concubine Wan.

Concubine Concubine Shu and Concubine Ouyang Yanran were originally allies of Concubine Min, but later turned against Concubine Min, causing Concubine Min to fight back, resulting in the deaths of Concubine Shu and Concubine Wan, and one of her biological daughters was adopted by Concubine Min's accomplice Jia.

Ouyang Yanran didn't do anything after her biological granddaughter left, but probably only he knew what he was thinking.

Now it is suddenly hinted that the queen can join forces, apart from targeting Concubine Min, Gu Zhen can't think of other intentions.

"Do you think this is an appropriate move?" Gu Zhen hesitated for a moment, then asked slowly.

After hesitating left and right for a while, he said: "Your Majesty, the power has been in your hands all these years, and the city has become more and more deep. It is difficult to touch His Majesty's true feelings even for trivial matters. Especially Concubine Min is very fond of her, even if Her Majesty knows it well Ming, but most likely will not care about it, and will even cover it up. But this time, things are different after all. The Xie family has just been massacred, and the children of the clan have returned to their hometown. Up to now, the spirit must be very clear, and besides, in Fuyang County, even if you have never contacted the loving mother Empress Dowager, surely the loving mother Empress Dowager would not like to see Concubine Min continue to be proud?"

Gu Zhen listened and nodded slightly, yes, no matter how you look at it, now is a good time to deal with Concubine Min!

In terms of power, the filial piety of the Xie family's children and the antagonism with the Ouyang family left Xuanqing Palace with a sway in the support of the previous dynasty; Before, the whereabouts of the mother is still unknown, who can not be exhausted? As an ally, Ouyang Yanran turned against the enemy, and the loving mother and empress dowager in Fuyang County are not a light-saving lamp... The front court and the harem and the emperor's adoptive mother teamed up, not to say that they are sure, but in the future, I am afraid that it will be difficult to find a better one. Here's your chance!

In other words, if I miss today, I want to trouble Concubine Min again in the future...

It will only be more difficult!

The queen's expression changed for a moment, and she narrowed her eyes slightly: "Come here, go to the same family and tell me, and then tell me about the movement of Xuanqing Palace these days!"
