Today’s Cining Palace looks a little different from usual days.
Although they didn't know what happened, just looking at the face of the Holy Mother after she came back, the people serving in the palace unconsciously became more careful.
After noon, Queen Mother Sun was leaning on the couch and taking a languid nap. Wang Jin, the eunuch in charge of Cining Palace, walked in softly and spoke in a low voice.
"Holy Mother, the eldest princess of Changde wishes to see you."
Queen Mother Sun opened her eyes, and without any surprise, she sat upright and said, "Call in."
Wang Jin retreated, and when he came back, he was followed by a graceful and elegant woman in her twenties, wearing a red toga.
She is none other than the biological daughter of Empress Dowager Sun, the Supreme Emperor, and the elder sister of the current emperor, the eldest princess of Changde.
"My son, I send my regards to my mother."
Queen Mother Sun woke up and waved her hand to signal Princess Changde to stand up and ask her to sit opposite her.
After Princess Changde sat down, Queen Mother Sun cheered up and glanced at her daughter. She saw that Princess Changde's eyes were red and swollen, and she had obviously cried just now.
The Empress Dowager Sun loved her daughter very much, and now that Zhu Qizhen had been captured and captured, and they were the only mother and daughter left in the capital, she naturally wanted to hold her in the palm of her hand.
Seeing this situation, she frowned and said coldly: "What's going on?"
The maids who came with Princess Changde were so frightened that they fell to their knees, and Nuonuo did not dare to speak.
Seeing this situation, Princess Changde's eyes turned red again, she knelt down and said.
"Mother, you have to make the decision for me. A group of royal guards just broke into the Prince Consort's mansion and kicked me out. They said that the Prince Consort had committed a crime and he was banned for three months. No one is allowed to visit."
It turns out this is what happened...
Queen Mother Sun's cold expression softened, and she couldn't help but feel a little headache. After thinking about it, she stretched out her hand to help Princess Changde up, wiped the tears on her face, sighed, and said.
"This matter is the fault of the Ai family. You don't have to worry. They don't dare to do anything to the prince-in-law. They will be banned from the palace for a period of time. If you can't enter the prince-son's palace, you can stay in the princess's palace with peace of mind and spend some time.
When your brother comes back, everything will be fine."
Empress Dowager Sun was also quite helpless about this matter.
According to her original plan, it was best not to cause trouble at this time, but the British government was determined to save Chen Mao and others.
After thinking about it, she felt that this was indeed the case.
Bringing Zhu Qizhen back is just the beginning.
Now that the throne is in someone else's hands, it is impossible to get it back, but we can't just sit back and wait to be slaughtered.
It is conceivable that after Zhu Qizhen comes back, life will not be easy. The hearts of these relatives who are still loyal to him still need to be united, so she agreed to the plan of Zhang Fu and others.
However, according to Empress Dowager Sun's expectations, this was actually just doing her best.
Based on her understanding of the current emperor, he would never let Chen Mao and others off easily, and this torment was just a show.
But who would have thought that it would actually happen.
Although Huichang Bo was sacrificed, Chen Mao was saved. In the eyes of Empress Dowager Sun, it was still worth it.
After all, with her in the palace, it made little difference whether she had the title of Uncle Huichang or not, and no one dared to insult her mother clan because of it.
However, she did not consider Princess Changde's mood in advance, so at this moment, facing her daughter's cries, she could only comfort her gently.
Princess Changde wiped her tears with a handkerchief, but she was still sobbing.
"Mother, I'm just worried. Didn't you see that when the group of royal guards broke in, they looked fierce. I don't want anything else, I just want to live a peaceful life."
"I know that you and your consort have been thinking of ways to bring your brother back from Yibei. I also miss your brother, but mother, don't you think they don't take us seriously at all?"
Empress Dowager Sun looked a little unhappy and shouted softly.
"Changde, don't be ridiculous. Those noble ministers outside are all manpower left by your father to your brother. How could they have other thoughts?"
Princess Changde does not have a strong temper and has a gentle personality. In the past, if she was scolded by Empress Dowager Sun like this, she would immediately bow her head and admit her mistake.
But this time, she twisted her head and said nothing, but tears kept falling down.
Only then did Empress Dowager Sun realize something was wrong and frowned: "Changde, what happened?"
At this time, Wang Jin walked in and reported.
"Holy Mother, the Sixth Section has just issued an edict. This is a copy sent by my servant. Please take a look at it."
Seeing Wang Jin hesitate to speak, Empress Dowager Sun felt even more puzzled. She took the document and started reading it.
However, after reading it, her face became a little ugly. She looked at Princess Changde and said, "Changde, tell the truth. Did you know the contents of this edict before you entered the palace?"
Princess Changde pinched the handkerchief, turned around, nodded and said.
"Mother, to tell you the truth, as soon as the edict came out of the cabinet, before it reached the Sixth Section, word spread outside the palace. Now the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion is full of people."
As she said that, Princess Changde sniffed and said a little aggrieved.
"My son is actually very angry. They keep saying that they want to bring his brother back, but in fact, they are just thinking about themselves."
"After all this trouble, there is still no sign of my younger brother. Grandpa's title was taken away, and the prince consort was banned. However, they have been promoted to a higher rank, and they are very proud of it."
These words of complaint fell into the ears of Empress Dowager Sun and were automatically filtered out.
Queen Mother Sun knew her daughter well.
He has a simple mind and was raised in a noble manner. Although he doesn't have a bad temper, he really doesn't know anything about government affairs.
Unless she really had no other choice, Empress Dowager Sun would not want her to serve as the person who communicated internally and externally.
Firstly, I don’t want her to be so deeply involved, and secondly, I think she is inappropriate.
Frowning, Empress Dowager Sun read the edict over and over again, shook her head and said.
"Changde, don't think too much about it. This thing is just a coincidence. As my mother said, those old ministers are all loyal to your brother. They do things in the hope that your brother can protect himself after he comes back.
Power."
This was said in a serious tone, and Princess Changde began to sob again.
Queen Mother Sun had a headache and wanted to comfort her, but she found that her always obedient daughter suddenly raised her head, with tears in her bright eyes, and spoke.
"Mother, I just don't understand. We are all one family, so why did we end up in this situation?"
"Brother Zhen and Brother Yu have obviously always had a very good relationship. After Brother Yu came to the throne, he worked hard to govern and has no disrespect to you. But why does the queen mother always believe in these outsiders? My son and I don't believe it anymore. Brother Zhen
If Er really comes back, what else can Brother Yu do to him?"
"Perhaps, if there weren't these people jumping up and down all the time, Brother Yu would have sent someone to bring Brother Zhen back."
"The way I see it, there are rumors out there that someone is alienating the Tian family, and it's their group. If this continues, if the brothers Zhen really turn against each other, they will be forced by them!"
With a "bang" sound, Queen Mother Sun's right hand slapped heavily on the table, and her face darkened.
"Presumptuous, what do you know!"
Princess Changde seemed not to have expected that the Empress Dowager Sun would treat her like this. She froze on the spot for a moment, with tears falling down her cheeks.
After a while, Princess Changde seemed to come to her senses, picked up the handkerchief, wiped her face randomly, and ran out crying...
