No matter how cowardly, useless or ignored King Qi is, he is still the eldest son of the royal family. He was forced to commit suicide by the princess. No matter whether he could be saved or not, there was no way this matter could be ok!
So Qiu Yilan didn't even change her clothes and rushed directly to Mrs. Tao's yard!
Mrs. Tao just happened to step out of the threshold and when she saw her, she didn't have much time to say. She just said, "Quickly!"
The Jiang Family Courtyard is only one step away from the palace. Basically, you can see the palace gate just by getting on the sedan chair.
They rushed to the Queen's residence without any obstruction. Before they entered, they heard hysterical wailing from inside. Mrs. Tao frowned when she heard this. When she went up the steps, she glanced at the palace maid outside, Queen Jiang's biological mother. After all, it was different. The palace maid immediately told her quietly: "It's the biological mother of His Highness King Qi, the concubine. She has already fainted from crying in front of the empress twice!"
I can't blame the child concubine for being like this. The King of Qi got married last year. I also knew that the child concubine must be old and lose her beauty. She has given up hope of the emperor's favor for a long time. Her future future will depend on King Qi's son! Now the son is forced to commit suicide by his wife, and he doesn't even have time to leave any grandchildren. If he really commits suicide, how will the child concubine live in the future
Mrs. Tao sighed deeply, stood outside, and then walked into the hall.
When she entered the door, she saw that Queen Jiang's face was livid, and the veins on the back of her hand holding the armrest of the phoenix throne were exposed due to exertion!
The queen said expressionlessly to the woman who was holding her skirt and crying loudly: "I know Wei Xiong's character very well. I will give justice to you mother and son in this matter. Please calm down!"
Seeing Qiu Yilan helping Mrs. Tao come in, the queen wanted to stand up to greet her, but when she straightened up, she found that the hem of her skirt was pulled tightly by the concubine, so she had to say: "Mom, are you here? Sit down... Nineteenth daughter-in-law does not need to be formal. Come on, Nijin, let’s make some tea!”
Mrs. Tao always called the queen by her given name, which shows the affection between mother and daughter. She didn't show any concern at this moment. After sitting down, she looked around and asked, "Where is Qiyun?"
"I found out that Wei Xiong disappeared without a trace after committing suicide!" Queen Jiang sneered, "I have sent people to look for him... I guess he either went back to the Jiang family or to the Dou family!"
Just as he was talking, someone from the palace came to report: "Mrs. Dou ordered people to kidnap Princess Qi and ask for an audience at the palace gate!"
"Hurry and drag that evil obstacle up!" Queen Jiang slapped the handrail and shouted!
The queen really hates this niece!
Yesterday, the Duke of Qin recovered from his illness, which greatly boosted the morale of the queen's party and regained a victory. Today, Jiang Qiyun forced the King of Qi to commit suicide. Is this because he was afraid that his mother's family would not fall? !
If possible, Queen Jiang really wanted to beat her niece to death!
But regardless of considering that Jiang Qiyun is the legitimate daughter doted on by Jiang Tianao and his wife, or that the Jiang family daughter cannot be held responsible for forcing her husband to death, Empress Jiang must now exonerate her and deal with the consequences!
Qiu Yilan secretly glanced at the queen's almost distorted expression, and deeply felt that the elders of the Jiang family were really beyond the capabilities of ordinary people... Juniors like Jiang Yadan and Jiang Qiyun would have been in an ordinary family, and the elders would have been pissed off long ago. OK
After a while, Mrs. Dou, who was looking frightened, dragged her daughter Jiang Qiyun, who was bound by brocade silk, into the palace with her own hands. As soon as she entered, she fell to her knees and cried: "My wife is guilty and failed to discipline my daughter well, which led to..."
It was rare for Madam Dou to be so submissive, but she also knew that her daughter was in serious trouble this time, and if she didn't bow her head, she would be destroying herself.
However, her submission made the child concubine anxious: "Who doesn't know that the Queen is partial to her mother's family? Although the eldest lady of the Jiang family is said to not have a very good relationship with the Queen, she is still her mother's cousin-in-law no matter how bad she is - is she planning to do this? After crying and confessing, the Queen will be raised high and gently lowered, and this is the end of the matter? "
How could Tong Bin let this matter go by like this
The one who had the accident was her biological son! These days, it is common for husbands to change their minds and drive their wives to death; it is almost unheard of for wives to be aggressive and drive their husbands to death! What's more, King Qi is still a prince! What a shame! It is conceivable that even if King Qi survives this time, he will never raise his head in front of others in this life!
If the situation hadn't been worse than others, Tong Binsheng would have eaten Jiang Qiyun's heart!
So she immediately burst into tears, turned around while crying, and kowtowed to Mrs. Dou: "I know that King Qi is mediocre and stupid, and is far from worthy of Princess Qi! But after all, he is also of the blood of the Tian family! Princess Qi If you don't like it, please come to this concubine and don't embarrass King Qi... Please, please, please!"
Mrs. Dou really wanted her mother and daughter to be submissive, so that Empress Jiang could have some plans and plans. But now that the child concubine knelt down and cried to their mother and daughter, Mrs. Dou's face suddenly turned as red as pig's liver. "Concubine, please don't do this. How can my wife and daughter bear your great gift?!"
In terms of rank, the child concubine is really not as high as her imperial concubine, but the foreign-born wife... can she compare with the inner-married woman? After all, they are the emperor’s people!
"As long as you two are willing to let King Qi go, I will do anything!" Tong Bin was determined to give an explanation. Anyway, at her age, without her own flesh and blood, what else would she have in the future? Living in the long palace is not as good as having fun!
Queen Jiang looked at this messy scene, and her already ugly face became even more ugly. The Tong concubine and the Dou family, who were still kowtowing to each other after regaining their composure, asked Jiang Qijun in a cold voice to reply: "Do you know your guilt?!"
Jiang Qiyun was not a fool, otherwise she would not have run back to her parents' home for help after learning that King Qi had committed suicide.
At this moment, he said timidly: "My daughter-in-law knows the crime!"
"What's the crime?" Empress Jiang suppressed her anger and continued to ask.
"My daughter-in-law should not listen to the nonsense of servants and suspect that the prince wants to kill my daughter-in-law!" Upon hearing this, which was what she was taught when she returned to her parents' home, the child concubine immediately gave up and shouted excitedly: "The queen, my wife , What an injustice! What a huge injustice! King Qi, you have watched me grow up, but I don’t dare to say that I am a kindhearted person. Normally, he can’t even bear to beat or scold his servants. Not to mention murdering the princess!"
Not to mention that the child concubine was in trouble, Qiu Yilan felt that the Jiang family was so shameless when she heard that this was obviously a reason to excuse Jiang Qiyun's behavior! It was clearly Jiang Qiyun who had been humiliating and abusing King Qi for a long time. Could this mean that King Qi wanted to kill his wife
"It's simply shameless..." Qiu Yilan thought desperately, "This husband's family... really won't be punished in the future???"
From the young Tao family to Qiu Feng to Chu Chunxiao, and now to the current King of Qi... there is no way to deal with this evil deed, okay!
Empress Jiang was obviously shocked by her niece's mindless answer - if King Qi really wanted to kill his wife, Jiang Qijun's reaction was a bit violent, which led to King Qi's suicide. The problem is... who doesn't know that King Qi is a coward? Such a cowardly master doesn't even know if he dares to kill chickens, but he still kills people? And kill the princess who scared him like something? ! Do you really believe that everyone in the world is your biological mother
With such a brainless niece on the stand - and the brainless think tank who was behind her, Queen Jiang didn't know how to answer the question now!
But there was no time to smooth things over for her right now: Queen Mother Gu sent someone here!
Whether it is the biological grandson or the eldest grandson who is forced to commit suicide by the granddaughter-in-law, it is only natural for the Queen Mother to intervene.
Moreover, Jiang Qiyun is the niece of Empress Jiang. The chamberlain sent by Empress Dowager Gu said very directly: "The Empress Dowager knows that for you, the palms and backs of your hands are full of flesh. It must be extremely difficult to deal with this matter at this moment. So the Empress Dowager asked Bring them all over and let the Queen Mother interrogate them personally!”
It can be said that it is reasonable to ask the queen to avoid suspicion in this matter.
Queen Jiang was going crazy, but she had such a big handle on the Queen Mother. No matter how arrogant she was, she had to admit her defeat. She stood up and said, "I will send them there!"
Mrs. Tao also stood up when she saw this, but said in a deep voice: "Since the Queen Mother has taken over this matter, why not go to visit King Qi?"
These words reminded Empress Jiang that with the current situation being such a big deal, it would be impossible for Jiang Qiyun to completely clear herself, and her actions would directly affect the Jiang family. The only solution now is to find a confession for her, and it would be better to save King Qi. !
First of all, if King Qi is alive, then Jiang Qiyun's responsibility will be much lighter; secondly, if King Qi stands up and explains one sentence, it will be more useful than thinking of a hundred exquisite lines for Jiang Qiyun!
At this moment, although King Qi is surrounded by the personnel that the Queen assigned to take care of him when he opened the palace, if Queen Mother Gu takes advantage of Jiang Qiyun's interrogation to do something... After all, it is more reliable for the Queen to go there in person!
"That's what mother said!" Queen Jiang took a deep breath and decided to make a desperate move to save King Qi from death. She simply ignored her niece and ignored Mrs. Dou's pleading eyes. She directly sent the palace servants to send them to see Queen Mother Gu. She was in a dilemma. Concubine, "What about you?"
"...I also want to see King Qi!" Tong Concubine thought for a moment and then made up her mind. She made this decision not only because she was worried about her son, but also because she was worried that when she arrived in front of Queen Mother Gu and Queen Jiang was not there, what if the Queen Mother forced her to Whatever she does, she can't refuse! And after doing this, who knows how Queen Jiang will deal with her
Besides, it’s hard to say whether King Qi can survive. If it really doesn’t work, the mother and son will finally see each other for the last time.
Empress Jiang nodded and said to Mrs. Tao: "Mother, I will take the concubine there first. You can go back to the other courtyard!"
Mrs. Tao is old and slow, and is not suitable to act with Empress Jiang. However, when the empress arrived at King Qi's annex, she was able to watch the scene without Mrs. Tao's assistance.
The old lady nodded slightly: "You go quickly, my nineteen-year-old daughter-in-law can accompany me out of the palace."
After Empress Jiang and the concubine left in a hurry, Mrs. Tao looked at the empty hall and sighed slightly: "What do you think of this matter today?"
Qiu Yilan was stunned for a moment, and then said respectfully: "My granddaughter-in-law is young and has little knowledge. How can a superficial opinion catch your eye?"
"Who is not from the junior generation?" Mrs. Tao asked her to support her and walked out of the hall, while saying calmly, "Tell me about it, you kid always has ideas."
"This thing... is such a coincidence." Qiu Yilan mused, "Yesterday my grandfather was well, and today King Qi... happened to be the fifteenth sister who used to be... strict with King Qi, and everyone outside knew about it."
Mrs. Tao narrowed her eyes and said softly: "Yes, that stupid thing! How many times have I told her earlier that only Prince Qi can tolerate her temperament? If it were someone else, like your mother's family, Brother, I’m afraid she’ll become someone’s dead wife in less than a day! She’s the best-tempered one in our family, and she can’t tolerate her at all! It’s better that she was born in the big house!”
When she said the last sentence, Mrs. Tao's tone already contained murderous intent!
It's no wonder that the old lady hated Da Fang, and now Jiang Qiyun has caused such a big trouble for the Jiang family... If possible, Old Madam Tao would definitely agree with Tong Bin killing this unworthy thing!
"After leaving the palace gate, you also go to King Qi's side." Mrs. Tao calmed down, patted the back of Qiu Yilan's hand and said, "Tianluan wants to watch King Qi and not let anyone do anything. You Go around the area and ask people inside and outside to see if there is anything suspicious!”
This is to ask her to find out who took advantage of Jiang Qiyun's consistent bullying of King Qi to concoct this "forced husband to death" case that absolutely shocked the government and the public
Qiu Yilan sighed in her heart and said helplessly: "Granddaughter-in-law, take the order!"
... There is a feeling of helping others to do evil again, okay? Why is this day so sad...
