When the news of the Queen Mother's death came, Ming Wuyou was having breakfast with his grandfather.
Hearing this, her expression was momentarily stunned.
In my impression, the Queen Mother is definitely not someone who commits suicide. Even though she is in the cold palace of Nansan Palace, the Zhenguo Palace has not collapsed yet, and the Queen Mother is not incapable of turning over.
"When did it happen?" Ming Wuyou put down his chopsticks and asked.
Leng Yun said: "Last night, around midnight, I heard... that the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion invited an eunuch to visit the Queen Mother and gave her some things. Later, the Queen Mother hung a beam."
Ming Wuyou frowned, feeling very uneasy.
She thought of the secret she heard the Queen Mother say that night.
Since the Zhenguo Palace sent someone to Nansan to meet the Queen Mother last night, was it possible that the secret was also known to the eunuch and then passed back to the Zhenguo Palace?
Ming Wuyou asked: "Does Your Highness know about this?"
"I understand. The master has already entered the palace. He wants his subordinates to send a message to the princess, asking her to feel at ease."
Ming Wuyou said: How can I feel at ease?
Mr. Ming, who was on the side, noticed her worries, raised his hand and said, "If there is anything, just go and do it. Grandpa, you don't need to accompany me here."
"Okay." Ming Wuyou nodded, and ran out without caring about his manners, holding up his skirt.
Murong Yu was not in the palace, but had already entered the palace. Ming Wuyou also took his personal token and entered the palace.
The palace was not as plain as Ru Mingwuyou had imagined, but the eunuchs and maids were coming and going in a hurry and seemed very urgent.
When he got off the bus in front of the palace gate, Ming Wuyou saw the carriage of the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion.
Leng Yun whispered: "The Duke of Zhen and his wife entered the palace before midnight."
"Um."
Ming Wuyou responded lightly and supported Leng Yun's hand to get out of the car: "Your Highness is at Chengqing Hall."
"Yes, His Highness is afraid that the princess will enter the palace, so he told his subordinates before that if the princess comes, he should wait at the Hall of Supreme Harmony first, and he will go there after finishing his affairs."
"..."
Ming Wuyou originally wanted to go to the Chengqian Palace, but after hearing what Leng Yun meant, he thought something must be happening there.
After hesitating for a moment, she turned to the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
The waiting time is the most difficult.
Ming Wuyou sat for a while and paced back and forth, fearing that the so-called secret would really come out.
She was not afraid that Murong Yu's reputation would be ruined, but she was afraid that her life would be in danger.
Suddenly, Ming Wuyou stopped by the window and looked at the wisteria flowers there with a gloomy expression. Why was she so stupid that she only knew how to stay here and wait for news.
She should settle everything quickly and be fully prepared.
Otherwise, if something happens in the palace and Murong Yu is captured, how will she save him?
Thinking of this, Ming Wuyou immediately turned around and planned to leave the palace.
Although she has been a little lazy in embroidering clothes recently, she has been keeping a close eye on the development of the shipyard and Dafengtang in the two or three years since she came to Beijing. She may not be able to fight with real swords and guns, but she still has the ability to take advantage of opportunities.
However, when she walked to the door of the main hall and was about to go out, Murong Yu stepped in from outside.
Ming Wuyou was caught off guard and bumped into him, and was hugged by Murong Yu: "I heard from a distance that you were walking fast and breathing fast. What are you doing in a hurry?"
"..."
Ming Wuyou was stunned for a moment, "You, are you okay?"
"What can I do?" Murong Yu chuckled and led Ming Wuyou into the hall, "I'm just discussing the Queen Mother's funeral."
"But -" Ming Wuyou's expression was complicated.
What about the secret thing?
Murong Yu caressed her face: "Nothing to worry about. In Chengqian Hall, I was asking about Duke Zhen and his wife sending someone to visit the Queen Mother."
"Their people left, and the Queen Mother hung up. It's very strange."
Ming Wuyou pondered for a moment, "But why did Duke Zhen and his wife want to kill the Queen Mother? Yu Yinglan has been expelled from the palace. In a short period of time, no suitable person from the Yu family will enter the palace to plan for them."
"The Queen Mother is their only support in the palace now."
Due to emotions and reasons, they should not touch the Queen Mother.
Murong Yu's eyes flashed with a faint light.
He has been regent for seven years and already has many eyes of his own in the palace. He already knows everything about what happened last night.
But he couldn't tell Ming Wuyou that Yuan Hao did this.
A ten-year-old child almost without hesitation ordered the death of the person who had been with him for ten years.
Maybe he didn't have a deep relationship with the Queen Mother, or maybe he had other hidden reasons for doing so, but such a cold-blooded decision was shocking.
Murong Yu didn't want to scare Ming Wuyou for the time being.
"Perhaps, the Queen Mother knows too many secrets of the Zhenguo Palace." Murong Yu knew that Ming Wuyou might interfere, and had already prepared a suitable reason, "The Queen Mother is a witness to the matter of Queen Xiaohui.
"
"The Queen Mother is still alive. If she accuses the government of the country one day, they will never be able to recover."
Ming Wuyou frowned, "That's right... the Duke Zhen's mansion is really cold-blooded and ruthless. The Queen Mother is the biological daughter of the Duke's wife, so she is so merciless!"
Murong Yu said: "For a century-old clan like Zhen Guo Gongfu, family ties have long been weak. What's more, the Queen Mother is not the daughter that Zhen Guo Gong's wife likes."
"Mrs. Zhen Guo's favorite was the original Queen Xiaohui, followed by the beautiful lady Yu Jiao. She was able to do something to Queen Xiaohui, so why can't she do it to this daughter now?"
Ming Wuyou slowly shook his head, "Terrible."
It's really scary to grow up in a home like this.
"Where is Yuan Hao?" Ming Wuyou looked at Murong Yu and asked, "How is his situation? After all, the Queen Mother has been with him for ten years..."
"He is not well, but he is very calm now because of the incident with Queen Xiaohui."
Ming Wuyou nodded, visited Yuan Hao later in the evening, and stayed with him for a while before leaving the palace.
The Queen Mother's funeral is handled by the Ministry of Etiquette and is conducted in accordance with the regulations of a queen of a country.
On the day of the funeral, it was snowing lightly.
The entire capital was filled with sadness and pity.
Ming Wuyou was not in the funeral procession. She stood on the second floor of Baishan Hall and watched the funeral procession, which was as long as a white dragon, leave the capital and go to the imperial mausoleum.
Her expression was a little hesitant.
In her previous life, the Queen Mother had the last laugh. She and Prince Ding joined forces with Prince Ning to launch a rebellion, and after seizing power, they killed Prince Ning and turned around and became the queen of Prince Murong Ting.
But now, she ended up like this.
Abrupt, but not surprising.
Ming Wuyou slowly sorted out his thoughts, wondering why the two lives were so different?
As a reborn person, she actually didn't know much about the Queen Mother, and she didn't do much about the Queen Mother.
She had thought about helping Murong Yu and reminded him of something based on her past life memories.
But in fact, it seems that she only reminded him once, and that was the Jiangzhou corruption case.
Later, she also mentioned something about the Snow Clan, but it seemed... everything was under Murong Yu's control.
And Yuan Hao’s teachings... This chapter has been completed!
