Chapter One Hundred and Forty Seven
There was a bit of uneasiness in her eyes, "Go and invite me here for me," she leaned close to Yanzhi's ear and whispered a few words.
——
Ruixue said in a low voice, "Master, Concubine Xi has gone to ask for the imperial doctor."
Fu Ronghua tilted her body and paused when she heard the movement in her hand. She put down the embroidery needle and said, "Let her go. Mrs. Xie has returned to the palace."
"I heard that she fainted in front of the Yongshou Palace and was woken up by the nuns beside the Queen Mother who poured cold water on her. She is still kneeling now." Ruixue answered in a low voice.
Fu Ronghua frowned slightly, "Why does the Queen Mother look so similar..."
She secretly wondered in her heart that according to the Queen Mother's temperament, this shouldn't be the case.
It's not that she didn't know the Xie family's reputation, and why she acted like this.
Before she could figure out the reason, Qing Liu walked in and said, "Master, the civil servants in the previous dynasty knew about Mrs. Xie's affairs, and are now attacking the Queen Mother, saying that she abused the concubine."
Fu Ronghua shook his head, "No, the Queen Mother must have some agenda for doing this."
——
"Your Majesty, everything is going according to plan. All the civil servants are kneeling in front of the imperial study."
In the imperial study room, an official spoke in a low voice and knelt on the ground respectfully.
Emperor Xuan Zhao closed his eyes slightly, "Let me see how they can fight."
——
"I heard that there is a campaign against the Ai family outside." The Queen Mother spoke slowly.
"My dear, please don't listen to their nonsense."
The Queen Mother sneered, "My Cui family is no longer able to survive, and there is not much the Ai family can do."
She tilted her head and said, "Ah Chen, where is the plain silver hairpin from the Ai family? Bring it over for the Ai family."
"Hey, slave, let's go right now." Nanny Chen quickly walked to the dressing table.
The Queen Mother sat on the chair, looking at her back, her eyes slowly moistened.
She closed her eyes until Nanny Chen came out and inserted the hairpin for her. The Queen Mother held her hand and said, "Go and see Xie Zhao."
She came outside the palace and looked down at the pale Xie Zhao, "The daughter of the Xie family is born noble. The Ai family has always felt that the noble daughter of the Kyoto family is inferior to you, the daughter of the Jiangnan family. Now we know
, the noble family."
She looked at Xie Zhao and said, "Xie Zhao, the Ai family hopes you will remember this day and never forget it."
She turned around and returned to the dormitory step by step, "Ah Chen, the Ai family is sleepy."
Nanny Chen helped the person up and said, "Mother, please thank Madam for kneeling down..."
"Let her kneel down while you go get a piece of pear paste for Aijia," she changed the subject.
Aunt Chen straightened the quilt for her and said, "I will be back soon." She left in a hurry.
Not long after Nanny Chen left, the Queen Mother lifted up the quilt and stood barefoot in front of the bronze mirror. "I finally have a chance to repay this sin."
She took out a white forge from the secret compartment of the bed and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you gave this to my concubine at the beginning. Unfortunately, I took a step ahead of you, and now your son has plotted against me."
Bai Duan passed through the beam of the room, and the Queen Mother stepped on the stool and stood up, "The Ai family would like to see how the world thinks of the Xie family's crime of uniting with hundreds of officials to force the Queen Mother to death."
With her feet dangling in the air, the Queen Mother struggled for a few times and her face gradually turned purple. She stretched out her hand, her face was painful and twitched for a few times, and she gradually lost her breath.
Aunt Chen came in with a tray and a clanging sound, and her shrill voice spread throughout the hall, "Your Majesty!"
——
"The master is in trouble, the Queen Mother has hanged herself." Qinghe ran in in a panic, her tone urgent.
