2356The Queen Mother Makes Things Difficult

Gu Xiaowan was overjoyed and knelt down to thank her, but Shu Tianci felt a little guilty: "Although I have made a decree, but...if Mrs. Fang does not cooperate, I..."

Although he is the emperor, it is not easy for him to get involved in the private affairs of ministers' families, especially such private affairs.

Of course Gu Xiaowan could understand that it was quite good to get the emperor's oral instructions. At the very least, Huang Ru couldn't disobey the emperor's wishes at will without justifiable reasons.

The next step was to rush to Fang Mansion for the autopsy. Su Mang took the order and took the first step. When Gu Xiaowan entered the palace, she naturally wanted to see the Queen Mother.

When Shu Tianci saw that she was leaving and knew that she was anxious, he said, "After you see the Queen Mother, I will accompany you out of the palace!"

Tan Yushu thought this was strange and looked back at Shu Tianci with confusion. Gu Xiaowan felt that her face was as red as a cooked shrimp.

Shu Tianci realized that he had made a mistake and explained: "I will burn a stick of incense for Mr. Fang."

He wanted to go to Fang Mansion to put pressure on Huang Rushi. Because even if Su Mang got the oral order, if Huang Ru didn't obey it, the emperor would have nothing to say. After all, this is a family matter!

Although Gu Xiaowan felt that this was unreasonable, at the moment, this was the only way. She quickly thanked him and hurried to the Queen Mother's palace with Tan Yushu.

As soon as Gu Xiaowan walked out of the side hall, she saw Eunuch Qi striding towards him, holding a cloak in his hand and saying, "Princess, it's cold outside, please put on this cloak!"

Gu Xiaowan looked at the cloak and felt that it was neither acceptable to take it nor not to take it. She hesitated for a moment.

Seeing this, A Zuo hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Father-in-law, give it to me!"

Eunuch Qi gave the clothes to Zuo, and Eunuch Qi did not forget to tell him: "It's cold outside, I hope the princess will put it on as soon as possible to avoid catching a cold."

Gu Xiaowan nodded slightly: "Thank you so much, Eunuch Qi."

Tan Yushu was still a little strange: "It's a ghost, I think why the emperor is acting weird today!"

What's wrong? She couldn't explain it, but she felt that every word spoken by the originally calm and composed Lord Ninth Five-Year Plan today sounded strange!

Gu Xiaowan didn't say anything. Tan Yushu pushed her arm and asked quietly: "Do you think the emperor is acting weird today?"

Gu Xiaowan glanced at her and said, "I don't know."

"That's right, you're not familiar with him either." Tan Yushu sighed.

Gu Xiaowan's steps were very fast, and each step was heavy. Is he surprised? She saw it!

Maybe she didn't notice it before due to the incident between Shen Wenjun and Gu Xiaoyi, but after Eunuch Qi's explanation and his tone no longer strange, she understood everything.

Gu Xiaowan, Gu Xiaowan...

In the Queen Mother's Palace, when the Queen Mother saw the two princesses and the princess, she immediately smiled and asked the palace staff to immediately put out a lot of delicious tea and snacks, as if coaxing a child: "Come, eat quickly..."

Tan Yushu ate some, took the Queen Mother's arm and said coquettishly: "Queen Mother, I can't stay any longer. I will leave the palace after eating this cake!"

"What's wrong? Didn't you come back to spend more time with the Ai family?" The Queen Mother looked at Tan Yushu, and then at Gu Xiaowan, who was sitting quietly beside her. She felt that she looked a little rushed today.

"Girl Wan, has something happened?" The Queen Mother looked at Gu Xiaowan and asked worriedly.

Gu Xiaowan stood up, came to the Queen Mother, and knelt down: "I would like to ask the Queen Mother to remind you that the young master of the Shen family who was engaged to my sister was seen murdering someone, so this matter..."

Mr. Shen, kill people...

The Queen Mother's eyes suddenly twisted: "Are you talking about Fang Zhengxing's case?"

Gu Xiaowan nodded: "Yes!"

"What is your relationship with the Shen family?"

"My sister-in-law and Young Master Shen are in love with each other and they are in love with each other. The two families originally wanted to marry Qin and Jin, but who would have expected that something like this happened!" Gu Xiaowan heard the evil in the Queen Mother's tone and could only say one word. answer.

Naturally, the Queen Mother also heard about this matter, it was the Emperor who told her.

Fang Zhengxing has never made any achievements in the imperial court these years. He can be regarded as a mediocre official. However, in his early years, he did a few things that benefited the country and the people. The relationship between the family made the emperor very hostile to Fang Zhengxing.

The man who killed him, Shen Wenjun, was from a family of heroes in the Qing Dynasty. Although he was not an official, he had always been sincere in doing business and was an honest child. Over the years, his business had become the best in the world.

Although the marriage between the two families was not mentioned openly, I heard that the recent rumors outside the palace were that the Shen family had transferred all the shops, houses and real estate of Jinxiu Cloth Village to a girl. name, and this girl is Gu Xiaowan’s biological sister!

Although he is very young, he has beautiful features and a clear face. It is said that the acquaintance between the two of them originated from a story about a hero saving a beauty.

The Queen Mother knew these things very well, so it was not surprising to see Gu Xiaowan come to the palace for this matter.

"Have you ever gone to see the Emperor?" the Queen Mother asked.

Gu Xiaowan nodded: "Replying to the Queen Mother, yes, the Emperor has made a decree to ask Mrs. Fang to cooperate with the Five Cities Military and Horse Department to examine Lord Fang's body."

"Death is like a lamp going out. You should be buried intact. If you interfere in the family affairs of the ministers in the court like this, don't you know that the emperor's move will be criticized by others?" The Queen Mother's voice suddenly became sharp, her eyes wide. Full of seriousness.

Gu Xiaowan hurriedly knelt on the ground, knelt down and said: "Please calm down, Xiaowan, there is no way out."

gone! "

She didn't know that the emperor's move would be criticized. However, if she didn't investigate the real cause of Fang Zhengxing's death, she wouldn't know why Shen Wenjun killed Fang Zhengxing that night. Naturally, she wouldn't know why Gu Xiaoyi and Shen Wenjun disappeared.

The Queen Mother angrily shouted at the table: "I love you in vain, you are betting on the emperor's reputation! What if Fang Zhengxing was indeed killed by Shen Wenjun? What do you want people in the world to say about the emperor's dictation?"

"Xiao Wan knows that she is wrong, but Xiao Wan, this is the only way to go!" Gu Xiaowan lowered her head, tears streaming down her cheeks: "Mr. Shen is gone, and so is my sister!"
