Dali Temple's work efficiency was very fast, and within a short time, the ins and outs of Deng Yulang's assassination of Princess Rongjia had been found out and reported.
Hearing the reason for his murder, everyone was very angry. Deng Yulang, a beast, actually killed his wife for an irrelevant woman, and the one who killed was the royal princess.
The Empress Dowager Xiaoduan said heartbrokenly, "Hu Meizi, you really hurt people a lot!"
Princess Yurong said angrily: "Queen, brother, what are you going to do with those charming sons, mothers and daughters? They were the direct pushers behind Deng Yulang's killing of Aunt Rongjia, you must not let them go lightly!"
After hearing this, the emperor immediately turned to Empress Dowager Xiaoduan, and said, "Let the matter be handled by the Empress Dowager, and she can do whatever she wants?"
Emperor Jian'an handed over the case to the Empress Dowager, and he didn't want to get involved. In fact, if there was no relationship between the old seven, His Majesty the Emperor would have ordered the execution of the mother and daughter by now, but he had heard that The girl from the Shen family is Lao Qi's heart and eyes, if he disposes of that girl, and Lao Qi becomes resentful or has second thoughts towards him, then the loss outweighs the gain.
You know, Lao Qi can control half of Chu's military power, and this guy is deeply scheming and martial arts. He is known as the God of War and the God of Killing. Now half of Chu's country is in his hands. He has a heart of disobedience, it's hard to say whether he can keep his throne!
Therefore, it's really worthless to annoy her for the sake of a woman, let the old lady deal with it, no matter how the old lady handles it, the old seven can't blame him!
However, the Empress Dowager Xiaoduan's thoughts are similar to his. She is not afraid of Lao Qi's rebellion, but she is afraid that the stubborn donkey will have a separate life for that little bitch and her mother. How much does he care about that little bitch? She didn't know that if she annoyed herself because of her disposing of the little bastard, and went back to the north in a fit of anger, and didn't come back to see her once in ten or eight years, wouldn't she still have to miss her
Therefore, after hearing the emperor's words, the Empress Dowager Xiaoduan did not express her position, but threw the ball to Empress Chen and said, "What does the Empress think should be handled?"
Empress Chen was born with a delicate heart, she can see everything about people and things, so how can she mind other people's business? Seeing that neither the emperor nor the queen mother wanted to offend Lao Qi for this girl, she naturally couldn't go to that muddy water, lest Lao Qi would hate her later.
It would be fine if Lao Qi was a mediocre prince, but he is not, not to mention the military power in his hands, just talk about the fact that he dared to kill the late emperor's favorite concubine when he was young, you can see that he is a cruel and ruthless man Well, if he is offended, her position as queen and the glory of her mother's family may be destroyed in his hands!
Therefore, she must not do things that are sinners, especially things that offend Lao Qi.
After hearing the Empress Dowager's question, Empress Chen said in a gentle and decent manner: "After reporting to my mother, my concubine feels that no one else is to blame for this matter. If there is any blame, I can only blame Concubine Deng for being paranoid and cruel. However, he has committed suicide in fear of crime. Your Majesty He has already been punished, and it can be regarded as avenging Aunt Rong Jia, this concubine thinks that this matter should stop here, don't involve the innocent anymore!"
Hearing what the queen said, Princess Yurong couldn't sit still, and said angrily, "The queen thinks that pair of vixens are innocent? Why do you think so? If it wasn't because of her? How could Deng Yulang have been indifferent to Aunt Rongjia for so many years? In the end And killed Aunt Rong Jia because of her? Even if that bitch didn't instigate this matter, but it was her who started the matter after all, just based on this, we must not let her go!"
Princess Yurong grew up in the hands of the Empress Dowager Xiaoduan since she was a child, and her son-in-law was obedient to her after she got married. His mind is not as deep as that of Empress Dowager Xiaoduan and Empress Chen, and he always says what is in his heart, but does not mean what he says.
Moreover, as a princess, she has the same identity as Princess Rongjia. Now that Princess Rongjia was killed by her son-in-law because of a lowly woman, she felt a kind of sadness and anger, and hated that girl even more. She is a very harmful bitch, that's why she kept clamoring to punish Mu's mother and daughter severely, never thinking that her behavior would not anger her younger brother!
Facing Princess Yurong's accusation, Empress Chen was not angry at all, and said with a good temper: "Sister Yurong, this palace has already investigated this matter, and Deng Yulang and Mu are not the kind that Aunt Rongjia said. Relationship, when Deng Yulang studied under Mu's grandfather, they are brothers and sisters. Later, when the Mu family fell, Deng Yulang just took in Mu's family. I have already asked carefully about the servants who served Mu's side. Well, nothing wrong happened between the two of them, it's just that Aunt Rong Jia didn't believe it, and without careful investigation and interrogation, she overturned the jar of jealousy, and wanted to get rid of the Mu family quickly, and then caused so many troubles. The dead are the most important, but I feel that if the responsibility should be divided for this matter, Aunt Rong Jia is not completely irresponsible. Strictly speaking, it doesn't have much to do with the Mu Family, we should deal with it fairly and don't blame others..."
After hearing this, Princess Yurong turned her head angrily, and said, "Queen Mother, what do you say? Do you mean the same thing?"
Empress Dowager Xiaoduan had said before that 'humeizi is harmful to people', and Empress Dowager Xiaoduan had always hated Shen Ruolan and the others, so Princess Yurong thought that Empress Dowager Xiaoduan would definitely stand by her side.
Unexpectedly, the Empress Dowager pondered for a moment, and said: "If it's really what the Empress said, then I really don't blame Mrs. Mu, if that's the case, let it be!"
These words were squeezed out by the Empress Dowager Xiaoduan against her will. No one in this room would want to kill Shen Ruolan more than her. The thought made her heart itch, but she didn't want to do it herself. What about her own son? This way I know that if she really does this, I am afraid that Lao Qi will never forgive her in this life, and she does not want to lose her favorite son for a woman.
At the same time, she didn't want Princess Yurong to wade in the muddy water, this was also for Princess Yurong's future. In case she gets old and leaves in the future, she still points at Lao Qi to protect Yu Rong, a straightforward daughter. If Yu Rong is hated by Lao Qi, who else will protect her in the future
The emperor can't point it out. His temperament is similar to that of the late emperor. He is ungrateful and ungrateful. Otherwise, when she was bullied by the late emperor's favorite concubine and almost squeezed from the queen's throne, she would not have been killed by the half-grown child of the old seven. That beloved concubine vented her anger on her behalf. At that time, no matter what the situation was, he, the eldest son, should protect her, but for the sake of his crown prince, he just watched her being bullied by that concubine. She forbears to step back and avoid troubles.
After seeing clearly the behavior of these two sons, the queen mother shifted her motherly heart to Dao Qi. She also planned to make an appointment. The emperor is unreliable. When she is gone in the future, she will entrust Yurong to Lao Qi. Seven, let Lao Qi protect her to live a safe and smooth life, otherwise, with her temperament, she will cause trouble sooner or later! Or let her be bullied.
Therefore, she didn't want Yurong to offend Lao Qi. Now Lao Qi sees that little hoof surnamed Shen like eyes, but Yu Rong keeps saying that she wants to kill her. If this word reaches Lao Qi's ears, Lao Qi He would definitely be unhappy, and would also be angry with this sister.
Therefore, the best way is to calm down, suppress Yurong's emotions, and turn this matter over!
Of course, it's just superficial, she can't really let go of that little bastard, her most valued good son is fascinated by her, how can she let her go? It's just that it's not convenient for her to do it herself, so she has to find someone to deal with her.
"Mother, how can you..." Seeing that the mother wanted to take this matter lightly, Princess Yurong felt anxious, and was about to have a theoretical dispute, but was reprimanded by the Empress Dowager Xiaoduan.
"Shut up, how can you, a married daughter, say something like this?"
Seeing that the Queen Mother was angry, Princess Yurong didn't dare to argue any longer, so she got up and saluted: "Yes, it's my daughter who overstepped!"
Seeing her like this, the Empress Dowager Xiaoduan stopped blaming her and said to the emperor: "Deng Yulang assassinated the princess, this kind of thing is really detrimental to the dignity of the royal family, so don't mention it to the outside world, just say that Rong Jia died of a sudden illness Well, what's more, An'an is still in Jizhou, so send a few people to bring her back, Rongjia only has this child, An'an, and she will have to fight the flag and throw the basin when she is buried!"
It seems to be said casually, just to take an orphan girl back to Beijing to attend the funeral, but the queen mother has seen countless people in her life, her eyes are poisonous, she has already seen that An An is not a good stubble, if she knows that her parents are all because of pettiness The mother died, and the little slut snatched the seventh child, she would definitely not let it go.
With her scheming and skill, even if she can't kill that little bitch Shen Ruolan, at least she can shed a layer of skin!
In short, if I use her hands to clean up that little hoof, if she helps her quietly at the right time, I will probably be able to get rid of that little hoof silently!
**
Shen Ruolan thought that the people in the palace would come to him soon to question her crimes, but she waited for more than ten days in a row, from the first ten days of September to the middle and late September, but still did not wait for anyone to come. The Seventh Prince, Chunyu Jue, is here!
Early in the morning on the fourteenth day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, a neat and imposing procession entered the gate of the capital from outside the city. It was Lord Zhan, who was guarding the northern border of Chu State, returning to Beijing. It is said that he came to accompany the Queen Mother to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival.
The neat team entered the capital in an orderly manner. In the eyes of the common people, it looked like the Seventh Prince had just returned, but Shen Ruolan knew that this person had actually returned a long time ago, but he just didn't show up.
Because Chunyuzhen was worried that his return with Shen Ruolan would cause dissatisfaction with his mother, thinking that he would spoil Ruolan too much, which would affect his plan to marry her, so, planning for the future, he refrained from showing up these days, even at night. He did not enter Shen Ruolan's room to rest.
More than ten days of sleepless nights, being alone, made this body, who was used to living together with her and sleeping in each other's arms, extremely uncomfortable. It was better during the day, but at night, the feeling of loneliness and cold was tortured. He was upset every night, tossing and turning until midnight before falling asleep. Several times, he almost couldn't bear to go to her in the middle of the night, but considering that the queen mother might also be watching him, he was afraid that the queen might say that she Disorderly, Hu Meizi seduced a man, so she suppressed her thoughts and endured until now.
Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival. He happened to come back under the pretext of having a reunion with his mother. Firstly, it was justifiable. Second, he could make his mother happy. When the mother was happy, he could divorce An An and marry Lan Er If you tell me about it, maybe the queen mother will agree to it as soon as she is happy!
Of course, the possibility of agreeing is extremely small, but it doesn't matter, he is ready to deal with everything, even if the mother does not agree, he will withdraw from An An, if he does not agree behind the scenes, he will not marry the princess in this life , Just like Lan Er who lived a lifetime without a name or distinction, isn't it the same couple
When the Empress Dowager Xiaoduan heard that he finally showed up, she was both happy and sad.
The happy one, of course, is that she can see her favorite son again, so she can relieve her longing for him; the sad one, is that this bastard came back early tomorrow, but she didn't know how to come to the palace to have a look Where did her mother hide? It made her worry and sad at the same time, wishing she could find him out and beat him up!
In addition to being happy and sad, the Empress Dowager had other emotions in her heart, that is, she felt sour and jealous in her heart.
Because she knew that her son came back this time not to accompany her for the festival, nor because he missed her mother, but because of that woman. Being heavier than her own mother, the empress dowager is naturally unwilling in her heart, but it's hard to say it out.
In fact, it's not just the queen mother, most of the mothers-in-law in this world are like this. They all hope that the woman their son loves the most in this life is themselves. Often, when a mother-in-law sees the love between her son and his daughter-in-law, she will feel jealous and resentful, and then Picking provocations, bullying his wife. If you meet a reasonable son, you will stand on the side of justice, persuade your wife, and comfort your daughter-in-law; On the other side, helping the old lady bully the daughter-in-law.
The poor daughter-in-law married into his family full of expectations, washed and cooked for them during the day, farmed the land and raised livestock, slept with the man at night, gave birth to children for the man, lived with him conscientiously, and ended up being bullied by their family. Mo, in the past, how many young daughters-in-law committed suicide by jumping into a well because they couldn't bear the anger of their mother-in-law...
Prince Zhan's team entered the city with great fanfare, and went straight into the palace without returning to the palace.
First went to see the emperor, and after a few words, the emperor sent him to Shouxian Palace on the grounds that the queen mother missed him.
Chunyu Yu came to the Shouxian Palace, and saw that the Shouxian Palace was full of flowers and jewels, and some young and beautiful girls were sitting in the Shouxian Palace, accompanying the queen mother, talking and laughing, it was very lively.
Seeing him coming in, the girls stood up and stood with their heads bowed.
Without squinting, Chunyu walked up to the Empress Dowager Xiaoduan, and bowed down: "Son to the Empress Dowager!"
The Empress Dowager Xiaoduan looked at Fengshen's handsome son, and she loved and hated him for a moment, full of emotions. If her son really came back to accompany her for the festival, how proud and satisfied would she be at this moment
Although she was very happy to see her son, but when she thought about why her son came back, the joy in her heart faded a little, as if a beautiful dress had been torn, the beauty was no longer complete, the A beautiful dress also depreciated accordingly.
"Get up!" she said, suppressing many emotions in her heart.
"Thank you, Empress Dowager!" Chunyu Xun thanked Empress Dowager Xiaoduan, and stood up from the ground.
Seeing that he had finished saluting the Queen Mother, all the young ladies went down together, and said in a voice, "Greetings to Prince Zhan!"
Chun Yuxuan didn't even give them a look, he still looked at his mother sitting on the seat, and said casually: "Forget it!"
"Thank you, my lord!" Everyone said in unison.
When Li Bi got up, a few bold ladies quickly took a peek at Prince Zhan, and saw that he was tall and mighty, wearing a dark purple weft brocade patterned robe, with a jade belt around his waist, and a crown symbolizing his status on his head. With his gorgeous crown, against his handsome and peerless face, he seemed like a god descending from the earth, and he immediately stunned several girls!
"Come here, show me your seat for Lord Qi!" The queen mother ordered, while seeing the looks and performances of the ladies present, she kept thinking and choosing...
"Qi Ye, please use tea!" Xia Jin came in with a cup of tea.
As soon as Chunyuzhen took the teacup, the queen mother said, "What tea did you serve him?"
Xia Jin said: "It's Xueding Hancui, Qiye's favorite drink in the past!"
The Empress Dowager said: "The Ai family knows that the top of the snow contains emerald greens, but the Ai family asked what kind of water you used to make the tea!"
Xia Jin smiled and said, "If you go back to the Empress Dowager, you will use the snow water from the pistils of plum blossoms in the jar that Miss Chen presented to the Empress Dowager's grandmother."
The Queen Mother listened and said with satisfaction: "Very good, Lao Qi, you can taste the taste of this tea!"
Seeing his mother's showing off, like a child presenting a treasure, Chunyu Yu couldn't bear to touch her face, so he had to take a sip and said, "Very good!"
When the Empress Dowager Xiaoduan saw that he said yes, she couldn't help smiling, and said: "Of course, the water for making tea is collected from the pistils of plum blossoms. There are thousands of plum blossoms, and only such a jar of snow water is collected. , and buried under the roots of plum blossoms for two or three years, it contains both the coolness of snow water and the faint fragrance of plum blossoms, this is rare good water in the world, and it is the first time for Aijia to drink it!"
Chun Yuxuan said: "there are many plum blossoms in the north, if the queen mother likes them, when the plum blossoms are in full bloom this winter, the son asks someone to collect more for the mother to keep, and asks the mother to cook tea with the snow water of the plum blossom stamens every day, that is, the plum blossoms. It’s not difficult to cook rice and stew in snow water!”
The expression on the Empress Dowager Xiaoduan's face froze. She was about to praise her son for her elegance and ingenuity, but when her son said that, it seemed that the snow on the plum blossoms was not surprising.
Sitting down, Ms. Chen's face was hot. She lowered her head and could feel the ridicule and gloating from all directions without raising her head. She knew that the queen mother wanted to recommend her to King Zhan. Unfortunately, she didn't wait for the recommendation , has already been rejected by him.
Chunyu Yu didn't seem to like the taste of the slightly sweet tea, so he only took a sip before putting it down, and said, "Mother, when my son came back this time, he also brought you some presents."
After speaking, Ying Zhan and Luo Cheng came in with a box each.
"This is a three-hundred-year-old ginseng, which is extremely rare. As soon as my son saw it, he thought of sending it to his mother for health benefits. The effect must be excellent!"
Chun Yuxuan opened the lid of the long brocade box that Ying Zhan was holding, and saw inside it was an old ginseng as thick as a baby's arm. What's amazing is that this ginseng has grown into a human shape, with four limbs, a torso and a head, but without five sense organs.
Rao is the Empress Dowager Xiaoduan who is well-informed and has never seen such an old ginseng, so she was stunned for a while.
Princess Yurong laughed and said: "Look, queen mother, this ginseng is indeed hundreds of years old, and even its limbs have grown out. If it takes a few hundred years, it will probably become fine!"
All the ladies had never seen such an old ginseng, and they were all envious for a while, and they all turned their necks to watch.
Seeing her son's filial piety, the Empress Dowager Xiaoduan gave herself a good face in front of everyone, and she felt that she had a good face, and the dark air she had had about Chun Yuxuan disappeared all of a sudden.
"This is a crocodile tent. It is the coolest and most airy to hang in summer. It can keep mosquitoes away without feeling stuffy!" Chun Yuxuan opened the second box, took out the crocodile tent, and motioned for Xia Jin and Spring willows open.
Everyone watched the blue gauze less than five inches long and half an inch thick opened layer by layer, and finally it was half the size of the dormitory. They were stunned and shocked by Qi Ye's treasure.
There was also Princess Yurong, who was joking aside, praising Chun Yuxuan for his filial piety, boasting some and nothing, making the empress dowager so happy that all the previous grievances in her heart were gone.
After watching these two, Chunyu Yu smiled and said: "The third gift that the son brought to the queen is your little daughter-in-law, but although she is in the capital now, she has not entered the palace with her son. If the queen wants to see , the son will send someone to call her over to meet the queen mother!"
