Chapter 347 The game between the empress dowager and the emperor
"Yes, he is the emperor's biological brother. The mother of the Ai family, who has been so generous in raising her, cannot be worth a single cent of his value."
"The Ai family is also very angry today, and will not interfere with any of the emperor's affairs in the future. But today, the Ai family still wants to ask if there is any room for change from the Grand Sima."
"As long as the emperor can let go of Da Sima and his family this time, the Ai family will dissuade Da Sima, be loyal to the master, and never do anything against common sense again."
As soon as the Queen Mother said these words, not only the emperor was stunned for a moment, but also Xiao Mingxuan and Luo Jiuli looked at each other.
Luo Jiuli: Queen Mother, are you serious? The emperor finally arrested Da Sima after all his efforts. Will he let him go just because of your words?
Then wouldn’t the efforts of so many people have been wasted?
"Mother."
At that moment, the emperor's face was covered with a layer of frost.
"Does the Queen Mother not know why Da Sima was sent to the prison?"
"The greed for money and money, the assassination of courtiers, and the burning of thirteen lives in Jiang Mansion have all just happened recently. The queen mother must have heard about it."
"Of course, there are many more, such as colluding with cronies, buying and selling officials, cultivating killers and killing soldiers, and secretly murdering officials who disagree with them."
"With all the things that happened to Da Sima, the Queen Mother will not think that I am falsely accusing him."
"Or, my mother thinks that what Da Sima did was just a trivial matter and not worthy of such a big fight."
After the emperor said this last sentence, he looked at the queen mother expressionlessly.
The Queen Mother's face looked gloomier and ugly than ever before.
I wanted to open my mouth to say something, but when the words reached my lips, I didn’t know how to speak.
The emperor's eyes were something she had never seen before.
Bitingly cold, gloomy and cruel.
It was as if she was not facing her as a queen, but an enemy.
Her heart suddenly trembled.
Those memories that had been buried in dust for many years and suppressed by her were gradually showing signs of awakening.
The emperor picked up the memorial casually and glanced at the somewhat dazed Queen Mother:
"I still have a bunch of memorials to read, so I won't leave my mother here to have lunch."
The implication is, please leave.
When the Queen Mother heard this, the Emperor issued an order to expel the guests.
I know in my heart that the situation of Da Sima Mansion is over, but I am afraid that I can't do anything about it now.
But, what should we do? What should everyone in the Great Sima Mansion do? What should her nephews do?
The life of the old man is coming to an end, but do the young people really have to be buried with him?
No, no, absolutely not.
She must not just watch as the Hu family has no successor.
"Since the emperor has to deal with official business, the Ai family should not be disturbed."
"It's just... that he is the biological brother of the Ai family after all. The Ai family knows that his crime is unforgivable, and also knows that the emperor must give an explanation to his subjects."
"The Ai family... The Ai family don't want to ask for any more grace for him. They just want to see him in prison, even if it means ending the relationship between brother and sister in this life and seeing him off."
"Please, Your Majesty, agree to the Ai family's only request."
The Queen Mother's voice was very soft, her tone was indeed no longer as domineering as before, and the sadness in her eyes was obvious.
The emperor frowned and looked at Xiao Mingxuan.
Xiao Mingxuan did not move or show any expression. At this time, he would not overstep his authority in making the decision that the emperor had to make.
The Queen Mother kept watching the emperor's actions and saw a trace of displeasure clearly flashing across his face, and her heart skipped a beat.
Although she and the emperor are not biological mother and son, after spending so many years together, she also understands what kind of person the emperor is.
He knows people well and is magnanimous, but he only uses people who are loyal to him, and he forgives people who he thinks should be forgiven.
As for the Sima Mansion, or to be precise, her brother, Lord Sima, was not within the scope of the emperor's forgiveness at all.
Sure enough, the emperor shook his fist.
"The queen mother is of such high status, how could she condescend to go to such a place..."
"emperor."
The Queen Mother frowned and interrupted the Emperor's words without any structure. She was really afraid that the Emperor would say more heartless words and completely block her escape route.
"The Ai family has been strong all their lives and has never asked the emperor once. But today, the Ai family just want to see him for the last time and send him a message. Does the emperor want the Ai family to kneel down and beg you?"
The Queen Mother said, raising her hand to pull off the phoenix hairpin, she was about to kneel down.
"Why should my mother be like this?"
The emperor's voice was obviously unhappy.
"Since the Queen Mother is determined to go to Tianlao, I agree."
The Queen Mother did not hesitate to kneel down to beg to see Hu Jue. The Emperor did not think that the Queen Mother was just telling lies about the relationship between brother and sister.
He also wanted to see what the Queen Mother was going to do?
When the Queen Mother heard this, she felt relieved.
After finally getting the chance to meet him, she couldn't mention any other requests at this time.
The Queen Mother got the emperor's order and turned around to leave.
The palace attendants waiting outside the door heard the commotion and quickly opened the curtain to welcome the Queen Mother out of the house.
It wasn't until the Queen Mother left that Luo Jiuli, one of the spectators, spoke.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, and the Queen Mother will go to see Hu Jue, will you-"
The emperor glanced at Luo Jiuli, and then moved his eyes to Xiao Mingxuan.
"You send someone to monitor."
Xiao Mingxuan nodded. He had not yet fully understood what kind of medicine the Queen Mother was selling in her gourd.
But he could be sure that the Queen Mother's trip was by no means as simple as seeing off Hu Jue.
On the way out of the palace.
Luo Jiuli finally couldn't help but look at Xiao Mingxuan.
"My lord, do you think the Queen Mother will send someone to rob the prison? Or rob the court?"
When she watched TV and read novels in her previous life, she would always see dramas about prisons and executions.
Xiao Mingxuan shook his head.
"The Heavenly Prison is heavily guarded. Even if the Queen Mother has the intention, she may not be able to do so. As for the robbery of the law field? This has never happened before, but it cannot be ignored."
The slight possibility that the Queen Mother attaches great importance to Da Sima is not impossible.
The Queen Mother certainly didn't know about Xiao Mingxuan and Luo Jiuli's analysis.
At this time, she had returned to Changchun Palace, washed briefly and changed her clothes.
The people in the Changchun Palace were all shocked when they heard that the Queen Mother was going to the Heavenly Prison.
But the Queen Mother always spoke the truth. Although everyone was scared to death, lest they be implicated because of the Sima Mansion, they also knew that their status was low and they could not dissuade her at all.
In this way, the Queen Mother and her people drove a chariot from the palace to the Dali Temple Tianlao.
Pei Tingsong had already received the message from the Nine Kings, and people were deployed everywhere in the Tianlao and outside Dali Temple.
When the Queen Mother's carriage arrived, Pei Tingsong had been waiting at the gate of Dali Temple for a long time.
When the Queen Mother got off the carriage and saw Pei Tingsong there, a flash of darkness flashed across her eyes, and then disappeared again.
"Pei Tingsong and everyone from Dali Temple greet the Queen Mother."
