Mo Yun got a few items of the emperor's confidant from Xiao Shunzi, and put them in a very secret place in the chess and painting rooms. During the search, they found it through a carpet search.
Mo Yun led people to put the evidence in front of the queen mother. The queen mother's first reaction was to not believe it, and Shi Qi and Shi Hua also cried for injustice.
Mo Yun said: "The Empress Dowager, the slaves' time in the Anci Palace is still short, and many things may not be well understood, so they can only use the most direct method to investigate without knowing the inside information. But the slaves know that playing chess and painting are by the Empress Dowager's side. After serving for many years, I must be loyal to the Empress Dowager, I am afraid there is some misunderstanding."
She was blessed and bowed her head and said: "The Queen Mother, the slaves are not capable enough, so I can only find out these things. Please ask the Queen Mother to let others continue to investigate, and the truth will be revealed."
The queen mother looked at Shi Qi and Shi Hua. These two palace maids had been with her for five or six years, and they were all taught by the mother-in-law, and she was very trustworthy. If it was normal, she would have suspected that Mo Yun had framed it, but now... She thought that the emperor had beaten and killed Wen Ma Ma, and the people under her opponent were not so sure.
At least from her perspective on people, she believes more in her observation of Mo Yun during this period of time. Mo Yun is pure, kind and clever, and knows how to advance and retreat, so she won't do such a thing. It's Shiqi and Shihua, it's impossible for them to betray her for others, but if it's for the emperor, it's impossible to say.
After Mother Wen's death, Anci Palace was in a panic, especially those around her who knew the details of the inside story, were naturally more afraid of the emperor's liquidation on them. If the emperor promised them heavy benefits, they would not necessarily betray them. After all, she had a series of accidents today, and she was still weak after falling out with the emperor. It seemed that she could no longer be trusted. Their betrayal seemed reasonable.
Those cats are personally in charge of Shi Hua. There are medicines in the cats. Who can give medicine to cats except Shi Hua? Shi Qi is responsible for the road surface and the placement of items. No matter how flustered Shi Qi is, can he still not know what he is responsible for? Why did she suddenly fall and make her fall into the water? Who wants her to die the most now? Isn't that the emperor? !
After the queen mother fell into the water, the suspicion became more serious, which was also expected by Mo Yun. She had already figured out the character of the queen mother, and she set up this chain plan, which could not only break the queen mother's arm, but also further alienate the relationship between the queen mother and the emperor, and also make the queen mother's body weaken naturally, and embarrassed in front of all the ministers and daughters. Lose the aloof majesty, kill with one arrow.
At present, it seems that everything is going very smoothly. Mo Yun takes the retreat as the advance, handed over the power he just got, and wholeheartedly helps the queen mother to take care of her body, and let others investigate such an important matter and take care of the Anci Palace. The queen mother also had a little distrust of her, so she asked Shishu to walk from the dark to the light and take charge of these matters in person.
But Mo Yun's arrangements were too thorough, and the forces of Xiao Shunzi and Xu Zifan cooperated with her layout. Not only did Shi Shu find no flaws, but instead found more evidence, all pointing to Shi Qi and Shi Hua.
The Empress Dowager was furious and asked someone to find the emperor to confront him in the Anci Palace.
The emperor didn't know what the queen mother was looking for him. He was planning how to seize power from Xu Zifan, and was very impatient with the queen mother looking for him. Xiao Shunzi said hesitantly by the side: "Your Majesty, the servant did something without the permission of the Emperor. It's not very bright. The servant and servant have to report to the Emperor..."
"What's so hesitant about? You just talk about it." The emperor was a little puzzled, and frowned at Xiao Shunzi.
Xiao Shunzi knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, since the last time your Majesty was injured, the servants felt that the affairs of the harem should be under control to ensure the Emperor's safety, so they tried to recruit a few people from Anci Palace. People, I want to know the news over there in advance to avoid bad things from happening again."
The emperor frowned, "Xiao Shunzi, the Queen Mother fell into the water..."
Xiao Shunzi hurriedly kowtowed, "Your Majesty, this has nothing to do with the servants. The servants would not dare to do such a thing if they were ten thousand courageous. The servants have no skills, and they are recruited by little palace maids and little eunuchs. If you are not very well-informed, you can't count the empress dowager with the mind of a servant."
"Then why are you telling me about this now?"
"Here, there is news from here that the empress dowager is looking for the emperor this time to ask her guilt."
The emperor showed surprise, "What? Asking for sin? Asking for what sin?"
Xiao Shunzi said cautiously: "It was the case of falling into the water. The results of the investigation by the Empress Dowager seemed to point to the emperor. The news the servants got was that the Empress Dowager seemed to believe that the Emperor called Shiqi and Shi Hua to murder the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager not only wanted to question the Emperor. , but also to get rid of her two henchmen."
The emperor kicked the imperial case, full of anger, "Absurd! She thinks that I am the unfilial person? She actually suspects me! It's ridiculous!"
Xiao Shunzi hurriedly patted his mouth, "Your Majesty, calm down, it's all a servant who can't speak with this stinky mouth. This is just a message the servant received, and it's not necessarily accurate. The servant just thinks that he should report to the emperor first. Actually, think about it. , Shiqi and Shihua are both the confidants of the Empress Dowager. If you dispose of them, isn't there no one left for the Empress Dowager? This news must be wrong. The emperor was a servant and didn't say it. Look, Empress Dowager Niangniang is still waiting, do you want to go now?"
The emperor walked out with his hands behind his back and strode out, "Go, I want to see, what kind of story she can make up. Deal with her two henchmen? Hmph, I think it's a trick she played, deliberately making trouble and suspecting me, and besides she believes I just moved me. She just wants me to be submissive and listen to her, it's impossible, whether it's Furong or Chaotang, she won't even think about me any more!"
Xiao Shunzi followed behind with her head lowered, the corners of her mouth twitched invisibly.
The difference is a thousand miles away. Sometimes, it is only a matter of one thought in which direction a person's thoughts are biased. He and Mo Yun decided on a method of alienating the emperor and the queen mother, and also discussed how the two sides should respond to break the two to the greatest extent. Now it seems that this method is very effective. Intensive conflict stimulation coupled with conflict of interest, physical discomfort and loss of confidants made the two of them restless, lost their calm and judgment, and were very misguided. If something does not happen to make them unite, it is impossible for them to reconcile, and naturally they cannot solve the misunderstanding. Who makes them all suspicious and selfish people
When the emperor arrived at Anci Palace, the empress dowager took the lead and attacked as soon as she came up. However, the emperor consciously knew the conspiracy of the queen mother and was very calm. He knew in his heart that he did not harm the queen mother, so it was impossible for anyone to bribe Shiqi and Shihua to harm the queen mother. There were no other concubines in the palace, and no one had conflicts with the queen mother. , people outside the palace can't do this, besides Xu Zifan is protecting the queen mother, who can harm the queen mother? So the only explanation is that the Queen Mother is acting. If Xiao Shunzi hadn't accidentally reminded him, he might have been caught in a panic. Fortunately, he had already seen the truth at this time, and the Queen Mother would not compromise no matter how he acted.
The queen mother questioned the emperor with endless anger, but only got a cold sentence from the emperor, "I didn't do it", nothing else, not even a word of concern, as if they were unrelated strangers. When the queen mother presented evidence and questioned the emperor again, the emperor became angry instead, "Empress mother, why do you want to add guilt? You have framed and framed my palace servants in order to make me bow your head, using such a sleazy method! What can't you do? This is completely nonsense. I haven't done it, and the people under my command won't do it. If you want to deal with these two palace maids, you can deal with them, but none of my people can do it. move!"
The queen mother has been very weak for a while. After hearing this, she clutched her chest and was almost breathless, "You! You unfilial son!"
The emperor stood up abruptly with a cold face, "The Queen Mother, there are some things you can say, some things you can't say, don't go too far!" He ignored the Queen Mother and walked out. When he passed by, kneeling on the ground, he was playing chess and painting. Zhong suddenly thought of Xiao Shunzi's words, they are the Queen Mother's confidants, and the Queen Mother will definitely not deal with them, otherwise there will be no use for people.
He glanced at the two people on the ground and said coldly, "Someone! Pull them out and stick them to death!"
Before the queen mother could ask the question clearly, she blurted out: "No, this matter has not been resolved!"
The emperor turned back and looked at her indifferently, "Is there something that hasn't been resolved? Or how does the queen mother want to resolve it? I am a filial son, they made my mother fall into the water and are frightened, and my body is so weak, how can I forgive them? Your kindness! Or is the queen mother unable to bear to kill them? What happened to the queen mother? A while ago, the queen mother sent someone to kill so many nurses and servants in Furong, but she didn't hesitate. How can the queen mother be soft-hearted to the two palace maids?" He turned around again and ordered coldly, "Drag it out!"
Xiao Shunzi immediately led someone to gag the two palace maids and dragged them out. The emperor didn't stop, and went straight to the dragon to drive them away. Soon someone ran into the Anci Palace to report, saying that Shiqi and Shihua had died. The Queen Mother lost two confidants, and the emperor was so angry that she fainted in front of her eyes.
This time, she was dizzy for three hours before she woke up. It was late at night when she woke up. Mo Yun and Shi Shu were both waiting in the room. Mo Yun was the first to notice that she opened her eyes and hurriedly poured into the water before giving her to her. Moisten her lips and help her up. Compared with Shishu, Mo Yun can see her needs anytime, anywhere, smart and considerate.
The queen mother sighed with relief, and her expression was decadent. It was one thing for her to fall out with the emperor, but it was another thing for the emperor to kill her. She thought that she might find some misunderstanding by calling the emperor to confront him. The son she raised would not be so cold-blooded. But in the end, the emperor looked at her like watching a play. He didn't care about anything she said, neither happy nor angry, there was still ridicule in his eyes, and he didn't even explain a word, and directly killed her people, but not allowed. She is not allowed to move his people in the first trial.
The reason why she believed this was because she was so cold-blooded and ruthless towards Xu Zifan, even though Xu Zifan had done so many things for her and treated her so well, she would still cold-bloodedly make plans for herself and wanted to eradicate Xu Zifan. How similar is it that the emperor wants to get rid of her and she gets rid of Xu Zifan? They are all stumbling blocks and infringing on their own interests. She can do it, and the son she taught will naturally do it.
The queen mother didn't feel sad for a long time, and she quickly calmed down and became indifferent. "Tomorrow, I will invite the regent in the morning and later. The Ai family has something to say."
Mo Yun gently persuaded: "The Empress Dowager, the imperial doctor said that your fainting this time hurt your body, you need to calm down and recuperate, do you want to rest for a few days before talking about it?"
The queen mother looked at her and saw that her face was full of concern, and she didn't feel anything different because she heard Xu Zifan. She was very satisfied, and smiled and waved her hand, "It's okay, Aijia won't be angry anymore, Aijia just thinks, this The matter of the queen should be settled. The emperor has to recuperate for a while and has nothing to do, just in time to prepare for the big wedding. The ceremony of conferring the queen must be lively and lively, let the happy event come to rush, and the palace will be fine ."
Mo Yun heard the words and responded, "This is a big happy event. With the empress dowager watching, the palace will be fine."
"You can talk." The queen mother smiled and felt tired after sitting for a while, so she could only lie down and rest, leaving Moyun to watch the night.
After Mo Yun waited for the queen mother to fall asleep, he recalled and deduced everything over and over again, and it took a long time to relax. She was looking forward to seeing Xu Zifan again tomorrow. For some unknown reason, Xu Zifan never sent her a letter through others, and every time he met, he carefully gave her a note. She is looking forward to Xu Zifan's next arrangement. She already has the upper hand in the palace, knowing that Xu Zifan's plan will be able to cooperate with him well.
