It's late at night, the moon is dark and the wind is high.
In the backyard of the Zhen Guogong Mansion, a soft sedan was quietly carried in from the side door.
In the yard, Mr. Zhen Guozheng, who was over fifty years old, was pacing leisurely, but his fingers behind his back kept tapping.
When the soft sedan came in, the Zhenguo public servant came to greet it on horseback, carefully helped the people inside out, and said in a soft voice, "Slow down, be careful."
The person who came was wearing a black hood and a black dress. His appearance could not be seen clearly in the dark night, but a hint of white could be seen.
What a late night phantom!
Duke Zhen Guo waved to the people behind him and led them into a small room on the side.
After closing the door tightly, the visitor finally took off his hood, "Brother..."
When he saw the half white and half black bun on her head, even though he had read the letter, he still couldn't help but gasp in disbelief, "You really..."
Queen Mother Xie nodded sadly.
"Did you let the imperial doctor take a look at it?" Duke Zhen Guo frowned deeply and stroked Empress Dowager Xie's half-white hair with distress.
Obviously a few days ago, my head was still full of black hair.
"The imperial doctor can't explain why." Queen Mother Xie shook her head.
"A bunch of quacks!" Duke Zhen Guo took a deep breath.
When Queen Mother Xie saw her brother, she finally couldn't help it anymore and burst into tears, "Such a strange thing happened to Jiao'er and I at the same time. Now it has spread throughout the palace, saying that she and I were the ones who angered our ancestors that night."
…”
"Who dares to talk nonsense? Let me see if I don't pull out her tongue!" Duke Zhen Guo's expression changed, "Does Your Majesty know about this?"
"Your Majesty only came here to take a look and asked the imperial doctor to do his best to cure it. What can he do?" Queen Mother Xie shook her head and picked up the handkerchief to collect the tears from the corners of her eyes.
Although Duke Zhen Guo was angry, he also knew that what the Empress Dowager Xie said was true. However, when he thought that his sister and daughter had suddenly suffered such a serious crime, how could he not be angry and distressed? He immediately snorted coldly, "He is a carefree and happy emperor."
,Shouldn’t I have..."
"Brother!" Queen Mother Xie took Duke Zhen Guo's hand and shook her head.
Duke Zhenguo's expression changed again and again, and finally he sighed heavily, "Hey! You..."
"What's the use of talking about this now?" Queen Mother Xie smiled bitterly, "I can only blame me for not having an heir of my own. Fortunately, now that Jiao'er has given birth to Kuo'er, we have hope, but Kuo'er's child..."
"Don't worry about Kuo'er. Since the British prince has already boarded the ship, don't even think about getting off easily. You should make him behave himself. I have a way to make him a legitimate prince." Zhenguo.
The public squinted his eyes, a fierce look flashed in his eyes.
"With my brother here, of course I don't have to worry about these things." Queen Mother Xie smiled, but couldn't help but frown after thinking of something, "It's just that the collapse of the Prayer Palace has everyone now blaming Kuo'er..."
"Your Majesty has sent Chu Xun to investigate, and I have also arranged to go to the scene to have a look at this matter." Speaking of this, Duke Zhen couldn't help but frown, "The news I got is that it has not been repaired for a long time and is soaked by rain.
The foundation.”
"Brother, do you really believe this?" Queen Mother Xie narrowed her eyes.
The Duke of Zhen Guo was silent for a while and said slowly: "When my father passed away, he said that when he built the Prayer Palace, the man left a message saying that the Prayer Palace could last for three hundred years and asked me to thank my family to protect this palace, otherwise...
"
"It's only been a hundred years!" Queen Mother Xie took a breath, with a look of cruelty on her face, "And it was the Zhang family who fell when the incident came out, how could it be such a coincidence!"
"I also feel strange about this matter." Zhen Guogong nodded, "It's just..."
"In the past, there was Zhang Tailiu, the eldest daughter who didn't know what was good or bad, and dared to back out of the rich man's marriage. Later, there was this concubine who was shameless and did such a thing. If you want me to say that this matter was caused by someone from the Zhang family!" I remembered that on my birthday!
Zhang Qingjiu's arrogant appearance at the banquet made Queen Mother Xie even more angry.
"This matter has indeed made Kuo'er and you aggrieved, but the Zhang family can't move for the time being. Zhang Tailiu is still sitting in the position of prime minister. It is still useful to keep him." Duke Zhen Guo couldn't listen.
He didn't understand the meaning behind the Queen Mother's words, but thinking of the current situation, he still shook his head and comforted her.
Queen Mother Xie sneered, "The Zhang family cannot be touched, but I have a person who must be treated."
"Who do you want to touch?" Zhen Guogong's eyelids twitched.
"The Zhang family has been so happy recently, isn't it the legitimate daughter of his family who is causing the trouble? The Ai family sees that she is very close to the prince, and your majesty also has great trust in her. If something happens to her, who knows what these people will do
How?" Queen Mother Xie raised her chin.
Duke Zhen Guo hesitated for a moment, but when he saw the determined look on Queen Mother Xie's face, he knew that he could not persuade her. He nodded and said, "In that case, I will arrange for someone to teach her a lesson."
"There is no need for brother to come forward, someone will take action on this matter." Queen Mother Xie chuckled lightly, with a slight curve in the corner of her mouth, "Tomorrow, there should be news."
The Duke of Zhen frowned, "You'd better be careful in everything."
"Brother, don't worry. Whether it succeeds or not has nothing to do with you and me. Let them just let the family go." A proud smile flashed in Queen Mother Xie's eyes.
"Well." The Duke of Zhenguo sighed, his eyes a little more profound, "The most urgent thing now is to let His Majesty build the Prayer Palace as soon as possible. If it takes too long, I'm afraid that person will
Punish our Xie family."
"I will talk to Your Majesty about this more, but..." Queen Mother Xie frowned, with a more uneasy look on her face, "Brother, I want to use something like that."
"You mean?" Looking at the half white and half black hair on Queen Mother Xie's head, Zhen Guogong's eyes flashed with hesitation. Finally, he rubbed her forehead helplessly and said with a smile, "You still look like you were when you were a child.
If you love beauty like that... leave it to my brother, I promise you will get a head full of black hair."
"Thank you, brother." Queen Mother Xie raised her eyebrows and hugged Lord Zhen Guo. Her hanging heart finally relaxed.
"You also tell Jiao'er not to worry." Duke Zhen Guo nodded, with a trace of pride on his lips, "Although the imperial doctor in court today just said that the prince was overworked, the illness is coming like a mountain. His life is so long.
, it won’t last longer.”
"Sure enough, what that person said is absolutely right." After hearing what Duke Zhen Guo said, Queen Mother Xie seemed to have thought of something, and her eyes lit up.
There has never been a night as lively as tonight in Jianjia Courtyard.
Looking at the figures flying around in front of his eyes, Zhang Qingjiu sighed, pulled the chair that Zidie had just brought over and sat down, yawning lazily, "Why, it's endless.
Right?"
Not to mention the disturbing sleep in the middle of the night, the fluttering and fluttering, are you going to perform a shadow puppet show?
