The queen passed out.
The Cining Palace was in chaos.
At that time, Emperor Jingming was teasing auspiciousness in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Every day is an inexhaustible collection of memorials. Since that day, when the notebooks were hidden in the memorial piles, they were almost discovered by the courtiers and sons, so Emperor Jing Ming temporarily abandoned this hobby.
Therefore, the mood is more likely to be depressed, and teasing auspiciousness is undoubtedly a good way to adjust the mood.
"Good luck, eat dried fish."
The fat cat looked at the dried fish in Emperor Jing Ming's hand, the length of the little finger, and gracefully paced over to take the dried fish away, leaving the owner embarrassed.
Emperor Jing Ming wiped his hands with the handkerchief and sighed bitterly.
It wasn't like that that day.
The scene of Jixiang raising his head and meowing at him that day has been lingering in Emperor Jing Ming's mind, but Jixiang is still the same auspicious after that.
It seemed that it was time to call General Xiaotian into the palace.
Jixiang seemed to have sensed the despicable thoughts of the owner, and yelled at Emperor Jing Ming angrily twice, without even leaving a cat shadow.
The sound of eager footsteps came.
Emperor Jing Ming glanced at Pan Hai with a heavy face, and immediately put away his mood for teasing cats.
Don't ask, it's happening again!
"What happened?"
Pan Hai bent down and didn't dare to lift his head: "Report to the emperor, the queen mother passed out—"
Emperor Jing Ming's head buzzed, and he didn't bother to ask any further questions, so he hurried to the Cining Palace.
Pan Hai sighed quietly, wiped the sweat from his forehead and hurriedly followed.
"The Emperor is coming—"
Emperor Jing Ming walked in with a sullen face, and asked Aunt Chang who was standing at the front saluting him: "Where's the Queen Mother?"
Aunt Chang trembled: "In the back room—"
Emperor Jing Ming kept his footsteps and walked past Aunt Chang.
The queen mother has been placed on the bed, and the imperial doctor who has rushed over is taking her pulse.
Seeing Emperor Jing Ming coming in, the imperial doctor wanted to stand up and salute, but he waved his hand to stop him.
After watching for a while, Emperor Jing Ming turned back to the hall and asked about the origins: "Why did the queen mother faint?"
Mother Chang plopped down on her knees and kowtowed again and again: "It's all slaves and servants who talk too much, and they hurt the queen mother—"
"What's the matter?" Emperor Jing Ming asked sharply.
Aunt Chang lowered her head and wiped away her tears: "My servant went to Fude Temple to donate sesame oil money for the Queen Mother, and I accidentally heard that Princess Rongyang had passed away..."
"You told the queen mother?"
"Slave should be damned—"
"You really deserve to be damned!" Emperor Jing Ming's face was ashen, and it was rare to say heavy words.
At this moment, he was so angry that it was difficult to contain it.
One wave after another, when the emperor is like him, who is full of buns
The voice of the queen mother came from inside: "Is the emperor outside?"
When Emperor Jing Ming heard this, he hurriedly walked in without bothering with Chang Momo.
"Queen Mother, are you alright?" Emperor Jing Ming walked to the bed in three or two steps and sat down, holding the Queen Mother's hand.
The Empress Dowager looked at Emperor Jing Ming and smiled: "I have nothing to do with the family."
Even so, there were tears in his eyes.
"The matter of Rongyang... Why didn't the emperor tell Aijia?"
Emperor Jing Ming lowered his eyes and felt guilty: "It's all the son's fault, Rong Yang's death is the son's responsibility—"
"No wonder Your Majesty, this is Rongyang's life. The Aijia has no way to teach, and it is the Aijia who is to blame..." The queen mother said, and finally couldn't help crying.
Emperor Jing Ming felt more and more guilty, and hurriedly said: "Mother, don't think like this, it was her son's impulse to demote Rongyang to a commoner, and it caused her to die in peace..."
The queen mother was silent for a long time and asked, "If Rongyang is still the eldest princess, will Cui Xu let her go when she hears that she harmed the Su family?"
This time, Emperor Jing Ming was silent.
Cui Xu is not a person who climbs the dragon and the phoenix. If he hadn't taken care of his mother, he would not have married Rongyang.
Once someone like him knew that his beloved woman was killed by Rongyang, he would choose revenge regardless of Rongyang's identity.
The queen mother smiled bitterly: "After all, it was Rongyang who had a hard life. When he was young, he asked for something he shouldn't have asked. It was also Su who gave birth to a daughter who was too capable—"
"After the mother, the seventh daughter-in-law is filial piety to her children when she is a mother—" Emperor Jing Ming hurriedly defended Jiang Si.
The Empress Dowager glanced at Emperor Jing Ming and said lightly, "Aijia didn't accuse Princess Yan of not accusing her."
Emperor Jing Ming was stagnant.
The mother was obviously angry.
Rongyang's death is not to blame for the seventh daughter-in-law, but it was a consequence of the past, but he could understand the mother's anger at the seventh daughter-in-law.
"As soon as Aijia closed his eyes, when you and Rongyang were young, one was on the left and the other was on the right, listening to Aijia reading to you..."
The empress dowager's eyes were moist, and so were Jing Ming's eyes.
Those youthful pasts were undoubtedly precious to Emperor Jing Ming after his decades-long reign as an emperor.
If he was shocked to hear about Princess Rongyang's death at first, he was shocked, angry, and regretful, but that's all, Princess Rongyang's reckless actions have long since wiped out those brother-sister relationships.
But now, facing the old mother with white hair and tears, Emperor Jing Ming felt deep regret.
He is the king of a country and the master of Da Zhou. Even if Rongyang makes a mistake, it is his filial piety to let her live and accompany her mother to relieve the boredom, but now—
"Your Majesty, don't want to affect your mood because of Ai's family. For Rongyang's death, you can only blame her for having evil thoughts, and also blame Cui Xu for being too cruel. No one else can blame anyone."
"Queen Mother—" The empress dowager's understanding made Emperor Jing Ming more and more ashamed.
The empress dowager smiled: "Ai's family understands that it's just that they can't slow down for a while, especially when they think of Lao Qi and his wife, they can't help but think of Rong Yang's death—"
Emperor Jing Ming didn't think about it, he blurted out: "Turn back my son and tell Lao Qi not to let them come to you."
"What's the point of this, Aijia is not old and confused, it shouldn't be right to anger them."
"Mother, relax and let Fuqing and Shiduuo accompany you in the future..."
Afterwards, Emperor Jing Ming explained to the imperial doctor and warned everyone in the Cining Palace before leaving.
"You all retreat, Chang Momo stay."
With the protection of the queen mother, Emperor Jing Ming did not punish Chang mama.
When the others left, the queen mother asked Chang mama, "Didn't you ask about the identity of the two women?"
"The servant didn't ask any more questions."
The queen mother nodded and asked a few more questions before ordering the mother to step down.
The back room quickly became extremely quiet, only the Queen Mother curled her lips slightly, revealing a cold smile.
After leaving the Cining Palace, Emperor Jingming did not return to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, but went straight to the imperial study, and instructed Pan Haichuan Yu Jin to enter the palace.
Yu Jin arrived quickly, and was scolded by Emperor Jing Ming as soon as he arrived.
Hearing Emperor Jing Ming's scolding, Yu Jin pouted and mocked.
It's really embarrassing for the emperor and Laozi. In order to scold him, he brought up all the gang fights eight hundred years ago.
Emperor Jing Ming was almost scolded, and said with a sullen face: "I acted without restraint, and I don't know how to go back. Give me back to the palace to think about it, and I don't have to go to the palace to be an eyesore!"
"My son knows."
Yu Jin responded eagerly and didn't ask a single word, so that Emperor Jing Ming felt a sense of scolding.
In the afternoon, the servant came to report: "Your Majesty, the commander of Jin Linwei asks to see you."
