In the Fuyang Palace, Queen Mother Yuan pondered for a moment and asked Zhan Liu: "Is that news true or false?"
"The fact that the Dingbei Army envoy came to the imperial capital to ask for medicine for Uncle Zhaowu is no secret." Zhan Liu said softly, "Have you heard of it a few months ago? If Vice General Qi also needs medicine, then Yao Yin is very rare and scarce, and even Dawai only has one in his collection... not many people know about it. Thinking about it carefully, it is not impossible. After all, the news after the assassination of Uncle Zhaowu said that Vice General Qi had blocked the In front of him, he was stabbed several times and was seriously injured. In this way, Uncle Zhaowu's poison needs medicine, so how could Vice General Qi not need it? If a medicine is not easy to divide, Bidong must also be the one who needs it. Uncle Zhaowu thought about it and kept silent."
After all, everyone in Tiandong knew that Qi Jiulu fought tooth and nail to protect Uncle Zhaowu. Even if it was not a special matter for Bundong Yijili to marry his future son-in-law, it was not easy to talk about that kind of thing.
Anyway, if Uncle Zhaowu used that portion of the medicine alone, Bu Shen Qi Jiulu would definitely be infamy if he lived or died.
If not for one person and half, although both of them can survive, it is impossible to say that it will be two useless people... The head of the Qi family cannot accept such a son, and the Gu family is afraid that he cannot accept such a reality.
"The Ai family said that." Empress Dowager Yuan shook her head slightly and said, "As for the Yao Yin matter, a little inquiry will tell that there is no room for fraud. The Ai family said, is there anything fishy about that matter?"
Zhanliu thought for a while, and then he thought about it together with the Qing people: "It's a bit too coincidental! There are no treasures in the emperor's warehouse, so why is there only one medicine?"
"Is that possible?" Empress Dowager Yuan narrowed her eyes and sneered, "Besides, when Uncle Zhaowu was assassinated, he was obviously accompanied by his own children and bodyguards, but the person who initially blocked his attack was a lieutenant... Even if that lieutenant was about to marry him. It's such a coincidence that the concubine is the continuation of the marriage! In addition, the only medicine is introduced... Hehe, the emperor is kind, even if the entire outer treasury has a share, as long as he and the people around him don't use it, the ministers want to ask for it In order to save his life, he will never refuse. Otherwise, he will get one share of the things, and no matter how generous the emperor is, he cannot temporarily conjure up a second share!"
"In this way, Uncle Zhaowu and Qi Jiulu, the quasi-son-in-law who were originally very friendly, are now facing the situation of competing for the only medicine quotation!"
"That's when you see people's hearts best!"
Of course, Empress Dowager Yuan was wrong and had no interest in the sincerity of both parties. She didn't care. "There were many people in the Dingbei Army in the east, but only Qi Jiulu and Uncle Zhaowu were in a life-or-death crisis. And Qi Jiulu had an old relationship with the imperial concubine... Gu Isn't it easy for you to calculate?"
Zhan Liu frowned slightly, and felt that Gu was very suspicious. After all, the assassination took place in the Dingbei Army.
Can that reveal Uncle Wu’s territory
Moreover, the assassin did not deny the remnant of the regent, but the reality was that after the sudden death of the regent and his wife, the two sons did not get the real remnant. What kind of background did the regent have accumulated for half his life? Gong Xiangxiao , Gong Xiangzhen and the two brothers didn't know why, let alone the others.
On the other hand, Uncle Zhaowu, who had been a comrade with the Regent, probably knew better than the Regent's own son.
That means that if the uncle wants to forge a so-called assassin who has been hiding in the army for a long time and wants to avenge his old master, it will be effortless!
Even a thorough investigation by the Imperial City Department may not be able to find out the clues.
"Does Mrs. Gu think too much of the imperial concubine and pay her too much?" Zhan Liu couldn't help but ask, "Although the imperial concubine and Qi's son were once an unmarried couple, the imperial concubine was only twelve years old when she left Beidi. , the friendship between children, when there is no conflict of interest, is very heart-warming. In such a situation, would the imperial concubine be stupid to step into the trap? Is that a mistake that ordinary women cannot make? Not to mention the concubine's sensitive mind Being vicious is not a good thing!"
Empress Dowager Yuan said quietly: "Otherwise, how could the news suddenly reach the Ai family?"
Zhanliu was startled: "Did you tell me?"
"Mr. Gu, maybe she wants to borrow a knife to kill someone!" Empress Dowager Yuan sneered, "I'm sure the concubine will not be fooled! How many years has it been since Xiaoyun entered the palace? Given her background, she has climbed to her current status so quickly. If Otherwise, if the emperor were more compassionate and soft-legged, he would even drag that idiot Dong Gu Zhen to live in Yanfu Palace, and even take charge of Qingci Palace in the future... It would be all right! Such a master, let alone the Qi family Even if we deny that we have kissed each other, even if we have vowed to each other for a long time, how can we be moved by a little love from the past? Of course the Gu family understands this, but do they have any choice? "
"Wei He's new Khan and the Dalan clan are all convinced that the imperial court is in charge!"
"There will be no fighting for a long time from the north to the east. Be it the Dingbei Army or Uncle Zhaowu, the imperial court will not need them for many years to come."
"If they had a lot of leverage back then, Ru Ming had nothing."
"It depends on the emperor's wishes whether he can keep his glory and glory, whether he can end well, and whether he can let the prince from the east of the middle palace take charge of the east palace."
"Isn't that important? Although the emperor has made it clear that he has no intention of breaking his promise, how can Mrs. Gu rest assured that he favors Concubine Min so much?"
"At the beginning, did the emperor and the Ai family sincerely want to accept the promises made by the Ouyang family? Did the situation change later, and Gu Zhen was replaced?"
"Who knows that the Gu family is not the second Ouyang family?"
The Queen Mother breathed out slowly, "Are they decisive? Taking advantage of the great victory, the country's attention in the east was focused on the Dingbei Army. As soon as they came out! In this way, they could catch the imperial concubine's mistake." The unforgettable evidence of Qi's old love, even if the imperial concubine is not instantly ruined, will still be a thorn in the emperor's heart. In addition, the imperial concubine is already in her twenties, how young can she be? In two years, Together with the emperor, there are two girls whose appearance and temperament are similar to that of the imperial concubine when she was a teenager... The imperial concubine is almost like the Queen Mother, relying on the love of the past to support her in the palace. Concubines are not easy to bully, but they are no longer able to influence the selection of the heir apparent."
"No, Mrs. Gu also knows in her heart that no matter how good their plan is, the imperial concubine may not be willing to cooperate!"
"So, you come to expect the Ai family to take action!"
Zhan Liu frowned: "Mr. Gu, did you have a good idea! Bi Dong is very fond of the imperial concubine, please don't let Bi Dong know about that kind of thing for the rest of your life! Once Bi Dong knows... what will happen then? ?”
She sighed, "It's very good that your Majesty can see clearly. Let's just pretend we don't know about that matter..."
"What's wrong?" Empress Dowager Yuan smiled coldly and said, "If the Ai family didn't miss this opportunity so much, would they really have come back to take care of themselves?!"
Zhan Liu was a little worried: "Mother, if your Majesty knows about it..."
"You know it if you know it." Empress Dowager Yuan looked indifferently, glanced at her, and said slowly, "It's fine if outsiders don't know. Do I also think that when the Ai family comes back to the Imperial Capital, they will be reluctant to bear the glory and be surrounded by everyone? And can’t bear to leave the emperor?!”
I was startled when I saw Zhanliu.
The Queen Mother sighed softly: "Ah, no, the Ai family didn't tell me? There's nothing we can do about it. The prince is smart, the concubine is cunning, and although Gu Zhen is a bit stupid, the old lady Gu is also good. A fuel-efficient lamp... The Ai family has to be more cautious, but I forgot that I didn’t even mention it."
"The Ai family has raised the emperor's son no matter what they say. Even if they are not in the imperial capital, anywhere in the east of the world, except for a noble concubine who is favored by the emperor and has a deep mind, who would dare to show the Ai family's face? "
"As for the emperor... When the Ai family left, they said that when the emperor grows up, he no longer needs the Ai family!"
"The reason why the Ai family came back..."
Empress Dowager Yuan seemed to be smiling but not smiling, her expression gradually became cold, "If you are so angry... please seek justice for the Xingning House!" ! ! "
"It's such a serious crime to confuse the royal bloodline, and the family is indeed not unjust."
"But my family knows my own affairs."
"Qihuai and the others, even though they have high ambitions and low legs, and their morals are not up to par, they are not willing to risk everything easily!"
"At that time, Gardenia fell out of favor. Not only was Gardenia's biological daughter not the princess, but she also died within two months of landing... The Ai family was in the harem and gradually lost to the imperial concubine. It was indeed getting worse. Is the imperial concubine enough? How about taking advantage of the wind and taking over the Ai family and the Yuan family?"
"Isn't it that Xingningbo Mansion is at a critical moment of life and death? Why would you dare to be so arrogant and confuse the royal bloodline?"
"Besides, in the past two years, two batches of people have been admitted to the palace. If that hadn't happened, the Queen, Concubine De, and others could have filled in a few candidates. Wouldn't the Ai family be able to do that?"
"Gardenia can't give birth to Prince Dong, and even the princess can't be saved... Then we can arrange for a girl to enter the palace."
"Anyway, the emperor is still in his prime. Who can be sure that there will never be another concubine of the Yuan family in the palace with a biological heir to the emperor?"
"I said, Qi Huai, are they smart and easy to be led around? Is it possible for them to think about how to bring the family to a higher level? In that situation, they would take such risks. ?”
"Are they not talented enough or have their brains broken!!!"
The Queen Mother became clearly excited and straightened up a bit, "And after experiencing the incident in the North, Qi Huai also knew that he was not as good as others in planning. He no longer dared to make decisions without permission. Whenever he made a move, he would take the lead." Please enlighten the Aijia...please ask if no one has convinced him, how could he hide such a thing even from the Aijia?!"
When Empress Dowager Yuan heard about the confusion of bloodlines, she was shocked and her first thought was no, Xingningbo Mansion was cheated!
That's actually not the first time.
Based on what Yun Fenghuang knew, whether Xingningbo Mansion had ever increased his status in the eyes of the emperor, or whether he had helped Chunjia to take charge of the government earlier, secretly meddling in the north, Xie Fenghuan's reputation was ruined, and the Xie family was The failure of the family marriage, Chao Jingyou's marriage to Qi Jiulu... and a series of other events all have Yongxuan's fault.
But the tragedy is that they think they are working hard, but in fact they are not being used by others.
The real mastermind is Fou Ji.
Maybe Chunjia was even more scheming, and was almost dragged into the water by those pig teammates...
It was the Empress Dowager Yuan's fault. Sadly, that time in Beidi, she could have made an announcement to Chun Jia immediately after noticing the clues to resolve the grudge.
But regarding the Eighth Prince, she was not even qualified to voice her doubts.
Who told her to be kept in the dark and regard the so-called eighth prince as a prince with the blood of the Yuan family, and do all she could to protect and favor him
In addition, she forced Gu Zhen to adopt the child, and there was an unsuccessful proposal to establish a prince... Empress Dowager Yuan herself could not escape her intention to confuse the bloodline and establish a young prince, so how could she be with Chunjia? Is the Xingning Bo Mansion being framed by someone who expresses his suspicion
After all, that is not the case. Even if the Xingning House was once again used, tricked, and tricked, if they didn't have a little bit of the intention to confuse the bloodline and use Empress Dowager Yuan to support the new monarch of their own bloodline, and the plan of the real murderer behind the scenes, they would not be able to do it. It can be carried out!
As the daughter of the Yuan family, the Empress Dowager Yuan naturally had feelings for the Yuan family in Cuo Fuyang. Even if there was a mixture of hatred and hatred, facing the destruction of the Cuo He clan, she had to gradually forget their failure and instead feel sorry for their stupidity and harm.
Can you put yourself in Chunjia's position and wonder if he would not be so sympathetic and merciful if he wronged Yuan's family in the east
So the Queen Mother can keep silent.
Even in the Ming Dynasty, he did not dare to reveal even a few words to the emperor.
Otherwise, with Chunjia's shrewdness, wouldn't she doubt her true intention of coming to the Imperial Capital
By that time, the relationship between mother and son finally recovered, and they couldn't help but beg to take another sudden turn.
After all, Ru Ming's loving mother, the Empress Dowager, had nothing to offer the emperor who was already at home in the world, apart from that friendship.
