Chapter 306 Mother's Heart
After the Queen Mother said this, the room seemed to have become quieter suddenly.
Gu Mingzhu's mind showed the third prince's concubine's expression full of spring breeze. The prince was demoted to Prince Gong, while the fifth prince was King Su, and Su also meant respectful. In this way, Prince Huai, who was only the third prince, was a master.
Someone will inevitably start by placing a title in order to infer the holy will. After hearing these words, the third prince and the third prince's concubine probably felt that they were sure to win.
However, if you want to say that the Third Prince's Consort is the master behind Sun Zhenren, Gu Mingzhu feels that it is still to be verified. She fought with the person behind the scenes several times, and Gu Mingzhu also has some understanding of this person. The Third Prince's Consort's consortia is not deep enough, and if the Third Prince's Mansion controls Taiqingguan and Sun Zhenren in the palm of his hand, why should the Third Prince's Consort show goodwill to Mo Zhenren?
The third prince's concubine recommended Sun Zhenren in front of the Empress Dowager in this way. If something happened, it would cause trouble. Unless the third prince hid something from the third prince's concubine, he deliberately made the third prince's concubine confuse others in this way.
Zhenren Mo obviously thought of this, and she whispered: "The Third Prince's Concubine went to Taiqing Temple and wanted to give Taoist gifts."
The Empress Dowager knew what Mo Zhenren meant, and was silent for a while before saying, "Maybe the third prince's concubine came to Cining Palace to talk about these things with Ai's family. I really heard that Sun Huixiu had some medical skills and wanted to cure the Ai family's illness, which made the Ai family happy, and the Ai family hoped that this would be the case.
The third brother likes to read books since he was a child. Before leaving the palace, he often comes to Ai’s house to pay tribute. He looks very obedient. His mother went there early, but she has two uncles in the court.”
After saying this, the Empress Dowager suddenly changed the subject: "The third prince's concubine is now a senator of the General Secretary, and it seems that she is working in Shandong."
The Empress Dowager has been in Cining Palace for a long time, but she knows everything about the outside world. She is even more suspicious of the Third Prince's Concubine.
The Empress Dowager continued: "The Emperor asked Qiao Song to intervene, and he will check these clearly."
Thinking of Qiao Song, the Empress Dowager sighed again. The Wei family was considered a wedding dress for others, but if they were not done well, Qiao Song took credit for it. The emperor was about to find an excuse to promote Qiao Song to the Minister of Justice.
Mo Zhenren said: "Empress knows it in her heart."
The Empress Dowager said: "These things are very annoying. The Ai family would rather not know, but they would come to the Ai family. The Ai family didn't have the spirit to guess with them. All these things are worrying about the emperor!"
Having said that, if the Empress Dowager really didn't care about it, she wouldn't call Master Mo to ask questions. Gu Mingzhu put away the medicinal wine and handed it to Zhenren Mo to wipe his hands.
Zhenren Mo took out a box of silver needles from the medicine box, carefully wiped each needle before picking it up for the Empress Dowager to acupuncture.
"You are just too careful," said the queen mother, "Since the last time the King of Liang happened, the Ai family has been letting trustworthy people take care of these things. If Queen Wei hadn't caught a sneaky eunuch and found the news from him, the Ai family would have been infected with Jiudu and would have gone to see the late emperor long ago."
Mo Zhenren said: "It is the late emperor who protects the Empress Dowager."
The Queen Mother said today without being ignorant of others. These are old things that many people know, but if you say it in depth, it will not be possible for everyone to listen to.
Seeing this, the female official immediately sent the person down and came forward to invite Baotong and Gu Mingzhu.
Zhenren Mo nodded to Gu Mingzhu.
Gu Mingzhu put down the scarf in her hand and happily walked out with Baotong.
Looking at Gu Mingzhu's back, the queen mother smiled: "This is the child. She doesn't want to be left here. She will immediately leave happily when she has the opportunity to escape."
There were no one else in the inner hall, and the queen mother said, "Is that why you accepted Miss Gu as your disciple?"
Mo Zhenren said: "Miss Gu is a bit like Achan, but not exactly similar. She is more unrestrained than Achan."
Everyone has their own knot in their hearts, and the Queen Mother sighed long: "After the child committed suicide, you have been unhappy knots. I hope you can let go this time."
"Achan may not have committed suicide," said Mo Zhenren, "Although Achan has been there for many years, I still want to figure it out."
The Queen Mother shook her head: "You, you are such a fool."
Mo Zhenren said: "Empress Dowager, you are the same. It took you so many years to capture Concubine Kang and his son to avenge the prince. After the emperor inherited the throne, you had no question about the government affairs. If you hadn't received a letter saying that there was something strange about the death of King Huai that year, you wouldn't have asked someone to look for the insider. As a result, there was insufficient guards around you, and someone took advantage of the loopholes. You were injured and rushed to the imperial physician to come for treatment. Unexpectedly, the imperial physician was also a member of King Liang and wanted to take the opportunity to poison you. Thanks to the Empress coming to intercept, this would be safe and sound." The Empress also suffered a cold, allowing the imperial concubine to take the opportunity to win over the emperor, and from then on, she favored the harem.
Mo Yangming never understood that theories said that Empress Wei was a hero, but in the end it was the imperial concubine who benefited.
"Yes, everyone has weaknesses," a crystal clear thing flashed in the queen mother's eyes. "Especially a mother, who can always be determined for her own children. This is the case with the Ai family and the queen, and you are the same. You also regard Achan as your own child."
Mo Zhenren whispered: "It's for A Chan, but I also want to find out who is doing evil behind the scenes. A Chan's sister Bai Gongren was also deliberately framed."
Mo Zhenren said Bai Gongren's leg injury: "Empress, think about it carefully. The cause of this incident was fourteen years ago, and the emperor's princes were still children more than ten years ago."
Either someone planned in advance for them or someone deliberately framed them. The man first dealt with the Eastern Palace, and now it is the rest of the prince's turn.
The methods of people cannot be underestimated.
Mo Zhenren said: "The Taoist followed the Empress Dowager and had seen the means of Concubine Kang and his son. The person who led the matter was even more powerful than Concubine Kang."
The Empress Dowager thought: "If this is true, the Great Zhou may have to suffer."
Zhenren Mo stopped talking and asked the Empress Dowager to take a break before pulling out the silver needle.
The palace servant came in and served the empress dowager and stood up.
The Empress Dowager moved her arms and felt that she felt much more relaxed. She let out a long breath of turbid air. The Empress Dowager was thinking about what Zhenren said in her mind.
If the court is really in chaos, who can escape? There are too many incidents in this deep palace, but no one can trust her.
The Empress Dowager walked out of the inner hall and looked at Yu Louchun on the long desk. She turned to Mo Yangming: "The Ai family remembered that Empress Wei also liked Yu Louchun. You send this flower to Kunning Palace and then show Queen Wei's waist. After giving birth to the third princess, she suffered from back pain. Your medicinal wine is extra good, so use it for Queen Wei to use it."
Zhenren Mo agreed.
The Queen Mother said, "After treating the Queen, go out of the palace and come back in a few days."
The female official picked up "Yu Louchun", and Zhenren Mo took Gu Mingzhu to leave.
"By the way," said the Queen Mother, "There is a golden pagoda of Empress Gaozong in Taiqing Temple. The phoenix coffin of Empress Zhongzong was also parked there. The Taoist holy land should not be missed. You should carefully sort it out. If you encounter trouble, come to the palace to find Ai's family. The Ai's family will not ask about the affairs of the previous dynasty, but these can be managed."
Mo Yangming understood that the Empress Dowager's words meant to make her feel at ease to investigate the cause of Achan's death. She saluted again and then withdrew from the Cining Palace step by step.
