The emperor stretched out his hand and rubbed the center of his brow, his eyes gloomy: "Mother, I am investigating this matter now. No matter who reaches out, I will never let it go."
The Queen Mother nodded, with a flash of fierceness in her eyes: "Only a few people know about this kind of thing, and every one of them must be investigated."
The Queen Mother was originally satisfied with the Queen, but during this period she felt that the Queen was not as good as she had imagined. Because of the incident with the Seventh Princess, she now felt a little annoyed when she saw the Queen.
"Mother, does Mingqing know about my affairs?" the emperor asked again.
The Queen Mother was shocked, "Probably...no, the Ai family has never mentioned it to her."
"Mother, why did she find that place to pick flowers? Are there few flowers in other places in the palace?" The emperor said with an unclear expression. The cause of this incident was picking flowers.
"The flowers there are really good. Aijia saw that the flowers she picked were good, so she thought it didn't matter. People don't always show up there, and it was always the same time when Aijia asked her to go.
I brought a lot of people there. At about that time, I heard people's voices. Just don't let your people come out."
The Queen Mother said.
That courtyard actually connected the former dynasty and the harem, and this matter was even more of a secret among secrets.
The front door is in the front, and you can enter the courtyard directly from the front. The back door is in the harem, and you can also enter the harem directly from here.
These people are the Flying Dragon Guards, and they rarely appear in front of people, no matter whether they are in the former or later dynasties. Even their affairs are secret, the secret of the royal family.
Even when the princes have not decided on the position of prince, no one knows the manpower.
This is the emperor's most loyal guard, and it is also the secret guard that plays the most important role at critical moments. Unlike other secret guards, no one can know about this.
"Queen Mother, do you think that Ming Qing really knows nothing after saying this?" The Emperor is not the Queen Mother and has no love for Zhang Wanyin, so he naturally sees it more clearly and asked in a deep voice.
The Queen Mother was silent, then gritted her teeth: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, if she really knows too much, the Ai family will not tolerate her."
"Where is Princess Mingqing?" the queen asked, looking around.
"She and Prince Duan are about to get married. There are a lot of things going on in the Zhennan Hou Mansion, so the Ai family asked her to go back first, not long after she left." The Queen Mother still defended Zhang Wanjian and spoke very tactfully.
The emperor was silent, and then said: "Mother, Princess Mingqing has been in the harem for so many years, and under your guidance, she should know what can and cannot be done. Since you hinted at her at the same time, you also brought her
There are many people coming here, so why should Yu Xijiao come at this time? There is only one palace maid?"
The Queen Mother choked for a moment after saying this, and then said after a while: "Even if she feels something vaguely, does Your Majesty think she can reach out to the people around you? She doesn't have this ability."
"Could it be Prince Duan?" the emperor said solemnly.
"Your Majesty, it can't be Prince Duan. He doesn't know the people around you." The Queen Mother said flatly.
The emperor did not speak, and was silent for a while again, with an uncertain look on his brows.
"It's certain that someone wants to kill Yu Xijiao. I don't know who it is, but he has the ability to do it among the emperor's people. The emperor should also understand the meaning of this." The Queen Mother said with some reminder, and then said impartially.
, "The Ai family will also pay attention to Mingqing. If it really has anything to do with Mingqing, the Ai family will never tolerate it."
The emperor nodded and exhaled forcefully: "Do you think the queen will be the seventh princess?"
The seventh princess had wanted to harm Yu Xijiao before, and even caused such a thing. The emperor got angry and locked up the seventh princess. If there was anyone else who wanted Yu Xijiao's life, the seventh princess was indeed very likely.
"The queen knows about your secret guard. The seventh princess is the queen's only legitimate daughter... It is indeed possible, but with her ability, she still cannot arrange manpower for your people." The queen mother shook her head, her words sounded like she was denying the reality.
But the emperor felt that the queen was suspicious.
"Mother, I understand." The emperor stood up and walked out. He always trusted the queen and consciously valued the queen. Could it be that the queen had some thoughts?
He would rather kill by mistake than let go of this kind of thing. Feilongwei suddenly received news that a suspicious person had been found, and he wanted to explore Feilongwei's secrets.
If Yu Xijiao hadn't been far away from the palace, if it hadn't been heard that she was the future concubine of Prince Qi, if it hadn't been for the fact that she had always turned her back to the palace, it would have been impossible to see anyone coming and going in the palace, then Yu Xijiao would have
He was beheaded, but the emperor only found out about it after the fact.
If any of these conditions were missing, Yu Xijiao would be dead.
For those who threaten the safety of the emperor, the Feilong Guards give death orders. In special circumstances, they have the right to kill them first and then report them. Of course, there are not many such special cases.
When the emperor discovered something was wrong and was interrogated, the Feilong guard who got the news actually bit the poison in his teeth and died.
He died in front of the emperor with a distorted face, and the emperor was furious.
The emperor was furious, and the harem was in disgrace. The queen, who had always been highly valued by the emperor, was reprimanded and even made to kneel in Fengyi Palace. For a moment, everyone was in danger. They didn't know what was going on. They only vaguely heard that it was the three of He Xuanping Hou Mansion.
The girl's entry into the palace has something to do with it.
It seems that every time Miss Yu enters the palace, something happens.
Hearing the rumors outside, the seventh princess was panicked and confused. She was banned from going out, but the people around her were allowed to go out.
Every piece of news that came through made her angry and uneasy.
First, Yu Xijiao left the palace well, and then Zhang Wanyin also returned home to get married. I heard that it was also related to Yu Xijiao's incident. Later, it was reported that the queen mother was punished, and the seventh princess had changed from angry to angry.
, restless.
They sent people to the Queen's Fengyi Palace, but there was no news from them. It was as if Fengyi Palace had eaten them all, and the seventh princess became more and more uneasy.
My whole heart was lifted, and I had a vague feeling of badness.
When she saw the Queen coming with her people, the Seventh Princess burst into tears. She took two steps and rushed forward: "Queen Mother!"
"Hold the seventh princess." The queen said sternly.
Two nuns came over and caught the sleeves of the seventh princess one by one, preventing her from coming forward.
"Pull it down and take responsibility for it." The queen closed her eyes and said sadly.
"Mother?" the seventh princess screamed sharply and struggled, "Why?"
"For no reason, who told you not to ground yourself properly and actually let the people around you go out one by one to find out the news? Do you think this is a place where you can be as arrogant as you want?"
When something happened, the palace was very strict about the investigation, but people from the Seventh Princess came over one by one to inquire about the news, which clearly meant that there was something wrong with the Seventh Princess.
"Mother?" The seventh princess's eyes turned red.
"Come here, let's do it here!" the queen said, shaking her body and helping a chamberlain to sit down on a chair in the middle.
"Mother, I don't know what happened to my daughter? Mother, what did my daughter do wrong?" Unexpectedly, the queen came for real. The seventh princess struggled wildly, tears fell, and looked at the queen aggrievedly, her voice choked, "Mother,
What on earth did your daughter do wrong? My daughter’s correction is, you...why do you want to beat your daughter?"
A chamberlain brought a long wooden bench over. The seventh princess was suppressed by two nuns and pressed directly on the bench. The queen was so distressed that she almost fainted. She stretched out her hand to hold her chest, gritted her teeth and said, "Hit!"
The chamberlain had already raised a bat and struck it down at the Seventh Princess. With just one blow, the Seventh Princess screamed in pain.
"Stop her mouth..." The queen's voice was almost squeezed out from between her teeth.
One of the palace maids trembled and blocked the seventh princess's mouth with the handkerchief.
The next few blows seemed to hit the queen's heart. The queen opened her eyes hard and watched her daughter being executed. She grabbed the chair rail with her sharp fingers. After a few blows, her nails were broken. One of her nails was broken.
It even pierced into the flesh. The pain made the queen turn pale, but she endured it.
The voice was almost squeezed out from between the teeth: "Hit me hard until I see blood."
The seventh princess looked at the queen sobbing, her eyes pleading and struggling, but she couldn't move, her whole body was held down.
Originally, the servant did not dare to use any force when hitting the seventh princess ten times. It meant that even though the seventh princess could no longer bear it, in fact, after several blows, the seventh princess did not see any blood. Now after listening to the queen's wishes,
The waiter's hand immediately became much heavier, and blood immediately appeared on the last three boards. The seventh princess rolled her eyes, struggled twice, and fainted.
"Queen, the seventh princess fainted."
"Queen, please spare the seventh princess!"
"Queen, the seventh princess will follow the rules in the future, you... just let the seventh princess go!"...
All the palace officials knelt down and begged for mercy. They were all grieving and kowtowing.
The queen pressed her chest hard, and after a long while, she said weakly and hoarsely: "Please ask the doctor."
After hearing what the queen said, someone immediately came over to help the seventh princess, pulled off the gagged veil, and carefully carried the seventh princess into the inner hall.
The imperial doctor came quickly and brought the medical girl over to take off the seventh princess's skirts and pants. Her skin was broken and bleeding, and she looked miserable.
The queen asked the maid to bring the prepared ginseng soup to the seventh princess.
The seventh princess finally woke up. After waking up, she looked at the queen and burst into tears: "Queen Mother... Queen Mother, why is this? Why are you beating me? I... I haven't been anywhere, just here, why...
…Mother, why is this?”
"Your father asked you to be grounded. Why did you send people to inquire about things outside? What do the things outside have to do with you?" the queen said sternly with red eyes.
"Mother, I was just worried about you and whether something happened to you, so I sent someone here." The Seventh Princess said aggrievedly. She really didn't know where she went wrong. It was just a matter of sending someone to inquire about the Queen.
Is that wrong? She really didn't do anything else.
The queen pursed her lips and said nothing. Her eyes fell on the seventh princess's pale face without a trace of blood. She felt even more heartbroken. She closed her eyes and waited until the medical girl finished the diagnosis and treatment. Then she waved her hand. The medical girl and the imperial doctor went down first.
, and other people also learned about it one by one.
In the end, only the queen and her daughter were left in the inner hall.
"Mother, why on earth?" the seventh princess wiped away her tears, lay on the bed and looked at the queen sobbing.
The queen pointed at the seventh princess, and saw that her face was covered with tears. She was crying so hard that she could hardly breathe. It was obvious that she was extremely wronged, and her eyes could not help but turn red. This was her daughter, her biological daughter.
How could she not feel distressed by the piece of meat that fell off?
