The queen mother never imagined that at this time, the queen would be the first person to stand up to protect Qin Yining.
This queen usually does not show the mountains and waters, but this time she is so articulate, she bites the truth every sentence. As a mother-in-law or an empress dowager, she would be given the upper hand by her own daughter-in-law. How will she gain a foothold in the palace in the future
The queen mother said coldly: "Queen, are you obsessed? You really don't care about your own prince? Is it possible that you colluded with the Qin family and wanted to harm the emperor's heir?"
The queen's face changed dramatically!
"Queen Mother, what's the point of accusing people so casually! Although the concubine is a junior, but the Holy Admiral handed over Feng Yin to the concubine, the concubine must act impartially. Now the Qin family can only be regarded as a suspect at best, but the queen mother He directly insisted that Qin was guilty.
"If you do this, it is very likely that the real murderer will go unpunished. In this way, a good person is wronged, but the person who really wants to harm the emperor's heir lives freely, and may even hurt the prince in the future. The concubine is the eldest prince. How could your biological mother allow this to happen?"
The queen mother was choked again by the queen.
Li Helan sneered when she saw it: "The imperial sister-in-law is so majestic, she dares to shout so loudly to the mother and queen. For a prisoner who murdered the eldest prince, she speaks so sternly. Could it be that the imperial sister-in-law received any benefits from her in-laws?"
The queen was so mad at Li Helan, "His Royal Highness, the eldest princess, speak carefully!"
"I think the Queen Mother should be careful! The Queen Mother is your mother-in-law, and the mother-in-law has her life. If you don't obey, but you refute it like this, you focus on outsiders, don't be filial to your mother, and don't protect your parents and children. Is the Queen Mother qualified to be a mother of the country? "
"Qualified or unqualified, it is not something that the eldest princess can decide!"
The queen quarreled with Li Helan, and the queen mother simply waved to the chamberlain, "The queen is bewitched. Please take the queen aside and lock up the Qin family!"
"Yes."
The servants of Ci'an Palace immediately stepped forward, holding the queen aside.
The guards set up Qin Yining and dragged him out.
Qin Yining's leg was injured, so she couldn't keep up with the guard's footsteps. Besides, the guard was so high that her feet couldn't touch the ground. In just a few steps, her shoes fell off, and she quickly fell on her feet. The skin was scratched by the sharp stone, and the white socks were stained with a little blood.
The queen struggled anxiously, and said sternly: "The queen mother acts like this. It's too unfair, it will only laugh at you!"
"Presumptuous! Aijia sees that you, the queen, have done enough! Carefully Aijia let the emperor divorce you!"
The queen's eyes were red, she forcibly shook off the hands of the two chamberlains who were holding her, and turned to leave.
"Stop! Stop for Aijia!"
The Empress turned a deaf ear, still walking fast, without turning her head, her face turned into a pig liver color, and she kept saying, "What's wrong, what's wrong!"
"Empress mother, don't be angry, the Queen's Wife is obsessed, you can teach it slowly in the future. What do you plan to do with Qin Shi?"
The empress dowager said irritably: "Don't worry about this matter, there is Aijia everywhere. If you want to harm the grandson of Aijia, she is courting death!"
The queen mother put down this sentence and strode out.
Concubine Yun and Princess Tana both stood up and saluted, "Congratulations to the Queen Mother."
Li Helan made fun of it in front of the concubine and saw enough of the excitement, so she didn't stay any longer and left the palace first.
Concubine Yun and Princess Tana were disliked by each other, and they parted ways.
Princess Tana saw Qin Yining unlucky today, not to mention how happy she was. She finally did what Su told her to do that day, and she finally felt bad for Anari Khan. Therefore, along the way, Princess Tana was in a very good mood.
It was only when she returned to Chuxiu Palace and glanced at the side hall where Qin Yining lived, she remembered something.
"That's not right, aren't there two maidservants by Mrs. Qin's side? Just now, the guards only brought Mrs. Qin back. What about the two maids?"
Princess Tana felt that this matter was quite strange. In the heart of trying to please the Queen Mother, she discovered such clues, and she immediately took people to Ci'an Palace.
At this time, in the inner hall of Ci'an Palace, the Queen Mother and Concubine Yun were sitting and talking.
The veil on Concubine Yun's hand was twisted into a twist, and she whispered nervously, "Cousin, this is too strange. Why did a concubine appear in the middle of it? Things won't change. Bar?"
"What are you afraid of?"
The queen mother smiled lightly, took a sip from the tea bowl, "As long as you do as Aijia said, there will be no problem."
Concubine Yun's eyes flickered slightly, and she hurriedly expressed her loyalty, "The ministers and concubines are all according to what you said, using the arsenic you gave, people are also..."
"Shh! Seek death!"
Concubine Yun covered her mouth, and was so busy that she didn't dare to say any more.
The Queen Mother said solemnly: "In our original plan, the bird's nest must be tested for poison before being eaten by the eldest prince. As long as the poison is detected, the people of Kunning Palace will immediately take down the Qin family. In this way, the contradiction lies between the queen and the queen. Between the Qin clan.
"However, Yu Concubine suddenly appeared today. Although it disrupted our plan, the purpose was also achieved, so it doesn't matter."
"Yes." Concubine Yun saluted respectfully, and there was an unconcealed loss in her eyes.
The queen mother squinted at Concubine Yun: "Why, what else do you lack?"
"No, no." Concubine Yun waved her hands hastily, "I just saw that things were different from what I expected, so I was a little flustered and had no other ideas."
The queen mother sneered when she heard the words, and said, "I'm sorry you don't have that courage. Well, Aijia is tired too, you go."
"Yes." Concubine Yun stood up, bowed her knees, and stepped back respectfully.
The queen mother slowly played with the tea bowl, looked at the lifelike carp and lotus pattern on the tea bowl, and suddenly laughed lightly.
Don't think she can't see what Concubine Yun is losing.
Could it be that Concubine Yun still expects that the arsenic-added bird's nest prince can really eat it
If she didn't arrange for Concubine Yu to knock over the bowl of bird's nest with a dead dog that had eaten arsenic, if she really ate it for her precious grandson, the emperor wouldn't turn against her
The queen mother leaned back leisurely and hummed a little tune comfortably.
The mammy outside said back and forth, "Empress Dowager, Concubine Shun asks to see you."
The queen mother raised her eyebrows and said, "I just said that the Ai family fell asleep. I don't see it."
When Mammy heard the words, she responded and went out to see Princess Tana.
"Concubine Huishun, the empress dowager is too frightened and angry today, and she is extremely exhausted. She has already fallen asleep. If you have any orders, just tell the slaves, and the slaves will convey them for you."
Princess Tana almost cursed in anger. She just watched Concubine Yun come out of Ci'an Palace, how could the Queen Mother still fall asleep in the blink of an eye
If you don't want to see her, you don't want to see her. What's so great, it seems that she is rushing to curry favor.
Princess Tana resisted her anger and said, "That's right, I found that the two maids next to Qin's side were missing, and the guards didn't see it when they arrested him, so I came here to tell the Queen Mother. Since the Queen Mother has already fallen asleep, I am here to tell you. Goodbye."
Saluting hastily, without looking at the mother's face, Princess Tana hurried back to the Chuxiu Palace.
That mama changed her face, and hurriedly went back and told the queen mother.
When the queen mother heard this, she also sat up directly, "A bunch of idiots! Even two little girls have been lost? Don't let them find it!"
"Yes!" Mammy hurried to instruct the guards to arrest Ji Yun and Bingtang.
In Qin Yining's room, an iron chain was already handcuffed to his ankle, and the other end was locked to a wall post in the dark room.
The windows on all four sides of this dark room have been nailed down with wooden boards, and only the gaps between the boards let out a faint light, reflecting the floating dust in the empty room.
The house was clean on all sides, without any furniture, tables, chairs, benches, and a large kang next to the window. Obviously, no one would catch fire. There was a bucket in the corner. The rest is nothing else.
Unexpectedly, there is such a place after the Empress Dowager Ci'an Palace.
Qin Yining dragged the heavy chains and walked a few steps. The room was dark and moldy, and there was a faint smell of blood. He didn't know how many wrongful palace servants the Queen Mother had executed in this room.
Originally, she thought that a person with the status of the queen mother should not let her hands stain with blood, but now it seems that she overestimated her.
Qin Yining walked over the length and energy level of the iron chain, and tried to sit on the kang, but found that the kang was close to the window, leaking air everywhere, and it was colder than the ground, so she returned to the red-lacquered pillar. Wrap your arms around yourself, sit down with your knees tucked, and curl yourself into a ball.
"It's okay." Qin Yining said to herself.
Echoes could be heard in the empty hall.
"It's alright, it'll be alright. Just stick with it."
Her own voice still echoed in the hall.
Qin Yining pressed her red and swollen cheek to her sleeve, and a hot tear overflowed from the corner of her eye, which was quickly drained by her sleeve.
Don't be weak, don't be afraid. Because Qin Yining understands that this is just the beginning.
Being imprisoned in the Ci'an Palace is even more terrifying than being imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. Here, the queen mother can torture her when she thinks about it, and the methods of the old ladies around the queen mother are believed to be very powerful.
Qin Yining closed his eyes and forced himself to recharge. At this point, she must be strong, she still has two children, Pang Xiao, and her parents, she must persevere. "
Qin Yining judged the sunrise and sunset from the light in the gap in the window, and in the blink of an eye, a day and night had passed.
She was sitting on the spot with her knees tucked all the time, curled up to keep herself warm, her empty stomach was cramping, her lips were cracked with thirst, and the bruises on her knees were already swollen, and the pain was piercing, she touched When I touched my face, it seemed to be even more swollen.
Qin Yining silently drew the first stroke of the word "Zheng" on the corner of the wall, and laughed at herself to see how long she could last as a "savage".
Such a big thing happened in the palace, although Li Qitian did not deliberately spread it, but he did not suppress the news. Soon, the courtiers and nobles knew that Princess Zhongshun intended to harm the emperor's heir.
In the palace of the eldest princess, Li Helan had just changed into a new magenta spring dress when the maid came to report excitedly: "Princess, eldest princess! The concubine is here!"
Li Helan was overjoyed when she heard the words, and hurriedly looked in the mirror at the hairpin decoration on her head, made sure she was dressed impeccably, and stood up with a smile.
Ji Zeyu was wearing a black cross-collar sleeved shirt with black hair tied high behind his head and hanging down on his straight back. His jade-like face was expressionless, and his handsome face was frosty.
Seeing Ji Zeyu like this, Li Helan felt a throbbing in his heart, "Why is the concubine here, do you miss Ben Gong?"
