Although what she did was cruel, since it was the emperor's order, how could the Queen Mother hold her accountable?
After all, Lin Yiqiu is just a eunuch after all! He has no choice!
"Mother, in this case, how can I kill Lin Yiqiu?"
"Alas, besides, Lin Yiqiu has made so many contributions before!"
"He was sent as an envoy to the State of Wu to rescue Prince Pingnan, recover Shiye City, and quell Xia Qingwu's rebellion! He also discovered fraud in the examination room! How can I kill such a eunuch?"
As soon as he clenched his fist, Emperor Qian couldn't help but punch the table!
"If I kill him, wouldn't it prove that I am a heartless and unjust person?"
Emperor Qian's pretty face showed an extremely unbearable expression.
After hearing this, the Queen Mother naturally agreed very much!
"You're right! You're right!"
"Although Lin Yiqiu is an eunuch, he is my minister who has made great achievements! We cannot kill him like this!"
"If I kill him, I will be ungrateful! How can I do this?"
Having said that, the Queen Mother had already stood up.
She thought of what Lin Yiqiu had done in Cining Palace before, and she was glad that she had not misjudged Lin Yiqiu!
But now that hundreds of officials are petitioning, if Lin Yiqiu does not kill him, it will not be so easy to calm down the anger of those officials!
"Your Majesty, the final key to this matter lies with the officials!"
"They represent the public opinion of the world. If they insist on killing Lin Yiqiu, you can't resist! Are you going to continue to pretend to be crazy like this?"
The Queen Mother felt that this was not a long-term solution and that there must be a complete way to save Lin Yiqiu.
After hearing this, Emperor Qian nodded.
"I think so too, but I have no other option for the time being. I can only delay it by pretending to be crazy."
"But Queen Mother, I have a favor to ask of you."
"Your Majesty, please speak."
The Queen Mother said immediately, her brows becoming confused.
Emperor Qian then said: "The Queen Mother, please return to Cining Palace immediately and do not receive any official who comes to visit her!"
"They will definitely let you, Queen Mother, shake my mind next! I will stop their thoughts!"
Regarding this, Li Yan is the best example!
Emperor Qian was very suspicious at this time. The reason why the Queen Mother knew about Lin Yiqiu so quickly was because Li Yan was behind it!
After hearing this, the Queen Mother naturally would not refuse!
"Well, Ai Jia also understands this."
"After the Ai family returns, they will temporarily lock up Cining Palace in the name of eating food and offering incense! No one will see them again!"
"As for Lin Yiqiu, well, Your Majesty, it depends on your approach."
After saying that, the Queen Mother sighed and left the bedroom.
As for Emperor Qian, he was sent all the way out of the palace, bowing respectfully.
"Congratulations to the Queen Mother!"
....
"Oh, it's not easy for this eunuch!"
On the sedan chair back to Cining Palace, the Queen Mother couldn't help but sigh.
Outside the sedan chair, old nanny Qingmei heard this and naturally couldn't help but sympathize with her.
"Such a loyal eunuch, and so capable, if he were to be killed, it would be a great loss for Gan!"
"Queen Mother, are you reluctant to part with it?"
"Of course the Ai family can't bear to part with him. If such a good boy Lin really loses his life, Cining Palace will be very boring."
The Queen Mother felt soft inside.
If Lin Yiqiu hadn't been a eunuch, otherwise, she wouldn't even mind recognizing Lin Yiqiu as her adopted son!
It's just that today the ministers were all very willing, and even made a gesture of forcing the emperor into the palace!
The emperor's pretense of madness can hide it for a while, but it cannot be hidden forever. What happens to Lin Yiqiu in the end depends on what the emperor does!
If he can't withstand the pressure of ministers and public opinion, Lin Yiqiu will still be in trouble!
When she thought of this, the Queen Mother felt very unhappy!
If it weren't for her identity, she would have wished she had released Lin Yiqiu!
The sedan quickly returned to Cining Palace.
But at this moment, outside Cining Palace, the figure of the second princess Xia Yimeng appeared again.
Old nanny Qingmei saw her first, and her face couldn't help but wrinkle slightly.
"Queen Mother, the second princess is here again."
She turned back to the sedan and said.
The Queen Mother was thinking with her eyes closed. After hearing this, her face suddenly became unhappy.
Now that she knew the reason why Lin Yiqiu killed the officials of the Ministry of Etiquette, she naturally no longer wanted to listen to Xia Yimeng's remarks.
Therefore, the tone is also somewhat unkind.
"Why did she come here again? Is she worried that the Ai family won't go?"
"I'm afraid you want to know whether Lin Yiqiu is dead or alive?"
The old grandma guessed.
After a while, the Queen Mother continued to speak.
"No, please stay and tell her not to come to Cining Palace in the future."
"yes."
The old grandma nodded.
The sedan arrived outside Cining Palace, and the second princess Xia Yimeng was preparing to pay her respects.
Who knew that the sedan didn't pay attention to him at all and walked directly in through the gate.
Only the old nanny Qingmei on the sedan slowly walked down and stood outside the door.
"Queen Mother, what is this?"
Xia Yimeng was a little confused.
If you salute like this, the Queen Mother won't ignore it like this, right?
At this time, the old nanny Qingmei said in a deep voice: "Second Princess, the Queen Mother will be fasting from today on, so it is best that the Second Princess does not come over during this period of time."
"Ah? Fasting? Why did the Queen Mother suddenly fast? This is not a day for fasting, right?"
Xia Yimeng just felt confused.
Besides, last time the Queen Mother just finished fasting on the mountain not long ago. How many days has it been?
The old grandma's voice was still low.
"This is the Queen Mother's decree. Could it be that the Second Princess wants to resist the decree?"
"Of course I don't dare!"
Xia Yimeng was frightened and quickly explained with a smile.
Then, she approached the old nanny and asked softly: "By the way, may I ask if the Queen Mother went to the father? What did you say about Lin Yiqiu? Has the eunuch been executed?"
"Second Princess, this matter is something that the emperor should handle himself. We in the harem should not interfere too much."
The old lady responded coldly.
"As for other matters, the Queen Mother doesn't know what Lin Yiqiu is like. Second Princess, you'd better stay less involved in this matter."
After saying that, regardless of Xia Yimeng's expression, the old woman closed the door directly.
Xia Yimeng was left alone, accompanied by the maid next to her, messy in the wind!
After a long while, she couldn't stop gritting her teeth and stamping her feet!
"This stinky old lady! I think she has been with the Queen Mother for so long! She is used to losing her temper!"
"Damn it! You treat this princess like this! I'm so angry!"
It doesn't matter if she was humbled in front of the Queen Mother. In addition to the previous time, she had also humbled herself in front of this old nanny twice!
As a princess, the old nanny's tone was completely lecturing! How could Xia Yimeng not be angry at this?
"Princess? What should we do now?"
The maid next to me asked at this time.
Xia Yimeng glared at her fiercely and said angrily: "What else can I do? The Queen Mother has seen this princess, can I still force her way in?"
"Forget it! Go home! Don't worry about the rest! The eunuch probably won't survive anyway!" This chapter has been completed!
