Chapter Thirty-One
In Fengqi Palace, the Queen Mother was sitting on the wind couch, watching Murong Jinxin writing silently. The Queen Mother was considering her experience in studying "Female Virtues" in recent days.
"Queen, don't blame the Ai family for being strict. As the mother of the country, you should always pay attention to your words and deeds to avoid losing the royal dignity.
The Queen Mother was making fun of Murong Yingluo overtly and covertly, and Murong Jinxin harbored resentment in her heart. If that dead girl hadn't brought shame to the Murong family, she wouldn't have been implicated, and she would not have been able to see her child, and would have been punished.
, Father should really drive that dead girl out of the Murong family.
Murong Jinxin lowered her eyes and put down the pen and ink, handed over the page, and said with a very respectful expression on her face: "What the Queen Mother said is that I will obey the teachings."
The Queen Mother took the page that the Queen had transcribed and found no flaws. It seemed that she had spent the past two days putting the page down and considered it to be a passing test.
He just snorted softly, frowned in displeasure, and looked at the grandma in charge beside him, "What time is it now?"
"Go back to the Queen Mother, noon is approaching."
"At this hour, why haven't the people sent to Prince Zheng's Mansion returned yet?"
The grandma bowed down, lowered her head and said, "I guess the time has come."
The Queen Mother glanced at Murong Jinxin and said, "The Queen will stay and have dinner with the Ai family in a while! In order to avoid estrangement between our mother-in-law and daughter-in-law because of rumors."
"Yes, my wife obeys the order!"
Murong Jinxin on the side cursed Yingluo in her heart, but she didn't want to be implicated anymore because of that girl's mistake, so she could only say some kind words for her.
"Mother, my sister-in-law was severely injured due to my father's family treatment some time ago and is recovering in the palace. I am afraid she has not recovered yet."
"Yes! The Ai family knows that General Murong is a man who can distinguish right from wrong. Although the Murong family was born into a noble family, the family tradition has always been strict."
"Yes! That's what the Queen Mother said."
The eunuch outside the door called: "The prince has arrived! Princess Zheng wants to see you!"
Hearing that Yu'er had come, Murong Jinxin had not seen his son for several days and looked at the door with earnest eyes.
The Queen Mother's heart tightened suddenly, "My good grandson shouldn't be teaching at the Imperial College, so why would he follow the concubine of the Murong family?"
Yingluo put down Yu'er at the door. Yu'er also understood the rules in the palace, but he didn't like his grandmother. The two of them walked into the hall one after the other.
"Daughter-in-law, the Queen Mother is a thousand years old! The Queen Mother is a thousand years old!" Yingluo knelt on the ground with a respectful expression, holding Yu'er's hand to signal him to pay her respects to the Queen Mother.
When Yu'er saw her mother, tears filled her eyes. He was just a child after all. He had already forgotten about etiquette and ran straight over, "Mom, Yu'er misses her so much."
Murong Jinxin held her son's tearful face, thinking about her in her heart, and her eyes were full of love. As a queen, she must pay attention to etiquette, and reproached: "Yu'er, why don't you show courtesy to the queen mother when you see her? Why don't you kneel down quickly?"
Hearing his mother's reprimand, his eyes filled with grievance, he knelt on the ground and said to the Queen Mother: "My grandson has met the Queen Mother!"
The Queen Mother's eyes were very unhappy. She originally wanted to use Murong Yingluo to give the Murong family a blow, but she didn't expect to kill her sweet grandson halfway.
He picked up the child with a loving expression and said, "My dear grandson, why are you crying? Grandma will feel sorry for you."
Yu'er was very afraid of the Queen Mother. She stopped sobbing when she got into the Queen Mother's arms and looked at her mother eagerly. Murong Jinxin could not snatch her son from the Queen Mother's arms, so she could only endure the emotions in her heart and turn her face away.
aside.
The Queen Mother looked at Murong Yingluo who was still kneeling on the ground and did not order her to get up.
Yingluo saw that the Queen Mother was speechless. The Queen Mother was also her mother-in-law, so she took the initiative and said: "My daughter-in-law should have come to the palace earlier to pay homage to the Queen Mother, but because she was injured a few days ago, she asked the Queen Mother to punish her."
She wanted to touch Murong Yingluo because Yu'er was around, but she had some scruples. She raised her eyebrows and said, "Queen, take the prince to the side hall first. The Yi family has something to talk to Princess Zheng alone."
"Yes!" Murong Jinxin naturally took the child and left. She did not want mother and child to be implicated.
"Since Princess Zheng has accepted the family law, do you know your mistake?"
Murong Yingluo knew that the Empress Dowager was raising an army to investigate the crime. Her mother-in-law saw it in person that day. If she wanted to pursue it, she could have pursued it long ago. The Empress Dowager's goal was Prince Zheng. Her father said that there were rumors in the palace that it was the Empress who killed Concubine Chen. Your Majesty
Not only did the queen not be abolished, but Prince Zheng was adopted to the queen, which put an end to the rumors of that day.
Thinking of the ice pond in the ice cellar, King Zheng was indeed ill in the past. The Queen Mother seemed not to know that King Zheng's illness had been cured. It was possible that King Zheng's illness was caused by the Queen Mother.
"My daughter-in-law is aware of her mistake. No matter what, the rumor started from her. My daughter-in-law was treating Prince Zheng that day, and my mother-in-law was also there that day. I didn't want anyone to spread the rumors, and it turned into the current rumor. I ask my mother to warn me."
"How could the Ai family not care about Prince Zheng's health? It's just that all the imperial doctors in the dynasty could not cure Prince Zheng's illness. The Ai family just looked at the queen's face and refused to investigate. Who would have thought that it would cause such a big incident?
The trouble is that not only the Murong family but also the royal family have been disgraced. In order to save the royal family's face, the Ai family will choose another virtuous and virtuous princess for Prince Zheng. You are the concubine of the Murong family, and you have been relegated to the sidelines.
Concubine!"
That day Lin Manxue was so arrogant in Prince Zheng's Mansion. It turned out that the Queen Mother was behind her, and the Queen Mother was just trying to marry Lin Manxue to Prince Zheng as her concubine.
At this time, we must not mess up our position. "Queen Mother, if my daughter-in-law is really disrespectful to King Zheng and is a strong wife, my daughter-in-law will voluntarily divorce her. But my daughter-in-law is unjust. Forgive me for speaking frankly. King Zheng's illness is
It is caused by man-made diseases and has penetrated into the bone marrow, but my daughter-in-law can cure this disease."
The Queen Mother was shocked and saw Yingluo's determined expression, "Why do you say you can cure Prince Zheng's illness?"
"When my daughter-in-law was young, she had a weak constitution. My father wanted her to practice martial arts to strengthen her body. However, my daughter-in-law's meridians were blocked due to extreme cold, and she would become a cripple for the rest of her life."
Halfway through Murong Yingluo's words, she seemed to think of the past, and a trace of pain emerged. Yingluo was so mysterious, but it made the Queen Mother have a desire to find out.
"How did you master martial arts later?"
"To tell you the truth, I am my daughter-in-law's grandfather. He taught me the marrow cleansing technique so that my daughter-in-law can reshape her meridians." Murong Yingluo knew that the Queen Mother did not understand the affairs of the world. Her father was from a noble family, and there was no one from where he came from.
Once she knows, she can talk freely.
Doubts arose in the Queen Mother's heart, but she didn't understand the affairs of Jianghu sects. As the saying goes, there are people outside the world and there is heaven outside. Could this girl really be able to cure King Zheng's illness?
And he couldn't let others see his thoughts. The emperor wanted to use the Murong family to contain Prince Zheng, but instead sent a savior to Prince Zheng. It was really self-defeating.
