She rarely came, and the emperor hurriedly came out to greet her: "Why did the queen come in person? My son can just go."
"How can the Ai family not come for such a big event? How is Concubine Jing?" Queen Mother Li asked.
"Concubine Jing is okay. She was scared. She is a little sick. Fortunately, she was not hurt by the poison." The queen supported the queen mother.
"Concubine Jing is a lucky one. The Ai family was very frightened when they heard this." Empress Dowager Li sighed: "This person has already been sent to the Criminal Division by the Ai family."
"Don't worry about the queen, I think it's something else. Even if it is really related, it has nothing to do with the queen." Qi Yixiu said.
"The Ai family won't lie to you. The Ai family felt something fishy about An's incident earlier. If this matter really has something to do with Zhao San, then there is still a problem behind it. The Ai family I know." The Queen Mother sighed.
To say this is to tacitly admit that she knew that the matter was strange, but in order to reset Zhenchongyi, the Queen Mother did not say anything.
"Mother, don't worry, your son will find out the matter on his own. Don't let your mother be wronged."
"I'm not worried about the Ai family, but if there is really something fishy behind this, the emperor won't be lenient. If the Ai family is implicated again and again, the person behind it must have big intentions." When the Queen Mother said this, she also It's a bit embarrassing.
After all, she had selfish motives before, but if she said this now, even to her son, she felt like she was being slapped in the face.
But I also hate the person behind it even more.
After sending the Queen Mother away, Qi Yixiu didn't ask anyone to come in, so he was busy with the affairs of the court.
As for this matter, he has already asked someone to do it, so he is not too anxious.
Shen Chuliu's place is a little fuzzy at night. Although he knows that the house is clean, he still has psychological shadow.
She wasn't actually afraid of poison or anything, she was just afraid of things with more than four legs.
She had broken so many legs again, and the feeling of crawling around her neck was really...
Anyway, it is very uncomfortable. The more uncomfortable it is, the easier it is to think about it, and the more it is thought about, the more uncomfortable it is.
So after dinner, I didn’t want to sleep for a long time.
Until Qi Yixiu came.
"Why is the emperor here at this time?" Shen Chuliu stood up to greet him.
The emperor helped her sit down: "I guess you are awake and have just handled some official business."
"I slept a lot during the day." Shen Chuliu smiled, but he didn't say that he was mad.
Qi Yixiu was waiting for her to complain about her grievances and fear, but she didn't say anything, which made the emperor very unhappy.
But logically speaking, Concubine Jing was frightened, so it was normal for him to accompany her.
According to selfish reasons, he thought about how pitiful she was sitting there with a pale face last night, so he might as well come and accompany her.
She definitely won't sleep well tonight.
It was indeed much better now that the emperor was here. Shen Chuliu fell asleep not long after he went up. He didn't look like someone who slept too much during the day.
But in the middle of the night, the emperor was still awakened by her.
Shen Chuliu was sleeping well, but because of her posture, she didn't know whether it was the emperor's undergarment or her own that rubbed against her neck.
Just like that, she suddenly remembered what happened yesterday in her sleep. She subconsciously thought it was still a scorpion, screamed and started to rub her neck hard.
It frightened the sleeping emperor so much that he jumped up after just rubbing it.
"Your Majesty?" The fourth day of the Lunar New Year outside was also startled.
The rulers and others had already come in with candles, and the commotion was intense again.
However, after Shen Chuliu was so frightened that his heart was pounding, he came to his senses instantly and fell back into bed and closed his eyes without even speaking to the emperor.
The emperor was full of words, but he held his breath and said nothing. He waved his hands to everyone who came in to tell them to go out.
Also lay down. Zhemei closed the tent and thought with lingering fear that it was great that the emperor was not angry.
Shen Chuliu felt that the person beside him was lying down, so he leaned over and grabbed the emperor's clothes.
The emperor was a little funny, but also very sleepy, so he hugged her.
When I hugged her, I felt her heart beat unusually fast.
The emperor didn't say anything. Looking at her just now, she looked frightened. She thought she was like this last night.
It’s scary enough to think about a woman’s house suddenly seeing a dozen poisonous scorpions.
After thinking about it, both of them fell asleep again.
On the second day, Shen Chuliu slept very comfortably. When he opened his eyes, he felt that it was getting late.
The emperor had naturally left long ago.
Xianchun came in to serve and asked the little girls to bring everything. Wait for Shen Chuliu to get up.
"The Emperor has gone to court and asked you to have a good rest."
"There's news outside." Xianchun said.
"Well, let's talk." Shen Chuliu had already washed up and was sitting at the table, having a late breakfast.
"It is said that after you were promoted to the throne, one of the people who repaired the Yufu Palace and made furniture was a relative of a eunuch in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He and a friend of his made this hole. Because they were making furniture at that time, it was very It was easy to hide it. The man confessed that it was... the Queen Mother's Zhao San who asked him to do this. As for Manager Zhang of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he has not yet explained whether it is related to him. Look at the Criminal Division."
"The Queen Mother has been implicated in this matter?" Shen Chuliu raised an eyebrow: "The Queen Mother has been implicated a lot recently."
"Yes, we are also curious. This matter... can't it be the Queen Mother's intention?" Suichun whispered.
Shen Chuliu shook his head and ate the egg pancake: "I don't know now, but as time goes by, there should be results."
Just after breakfast, someone from the Shen family came outside asking to see the empress.
This means that she came to visit after knowing that something happened to her. It also means that the Shen family knows about the matter and is more concerned about it.
"Pass it on." Shen Chuliu waved his hand.
When Mrs. Qu and Mrs. Song came in, they went to see the queen first.
The queen stayed for a cup of tea, met in person, and said a few words.
It also means that something happened in the palace, but Concubine Jing will not be wronged in vain.
This is the advantage of having a high position and having a natal family.
In the past, when Shen Chuliu's status was low, if something happened, the emperor would definitely look at the Shen family's face, but it couldn't be like this.
In the Yufu Palace, Shen Chuliu was feeling much better today, but he was too lazy to dress up, so he simply combed his hair into a bun and wore a homely undershirt, then waited for Mrs. Qu and Mrs. Song.
The two came in, said hello and took their seats.
Shen Chuliu smiled and said, "Grandma and aunt are probably worried about me. I'm fine."
"God, I heard it yesterday, and I was so scared that I lost my soul." Mrs. Qu was really frightened.
No matter how close she is, she is still a granddaughter, not to mention that Shen Chuliu is now a pillar of the Shen family. If there is something wrong with her...
That’s simply unthinkable.
"Yes, is there any result from this? Mr. Hou is very angry. The Shen family will not ignore this kind of thing." Mrs. Song said.
"The emperor and the empress take it very seriously. They have already asked someone to investigate, and the results will be available soon. There is no need to worry at home. With the emperor in charge, everything can be solved." Shen Chuliu smiled.
