Chapter seven hundred and sixty sixth: the wrath of the Virgin(1/2)
Looking at the chamberlain who came to report, Empress Dowager Sun's face flashed with surprise, and her originally relaxed look became tense.
Huaien and Ruan Lang, one is the emperor's trusted eunuch, and the other is the Supreme Emperor's confidant, how could they come here at the same time?
No, to be more precise, they didn't come at the same time, but arrived at Cining Palace in front and back.
Even during this period, because her eldest daughter lost her temper, Queen Mother Sun was forced to no longer pay special attention to many things happening in the outer court.
However, in this situation, she immediately realized that something must have happened, and in all likelihood, it was the emperor and the emperor who were wrestling again.
However, in ordinary times, even this kind of overt and covert fighting would not come to Cining Palace. After all, the throne has been determined, and the affairs of the outer court will not have anything to do with her, a deep palace queen mother.
unless……
Empress Dowager Sun frowned and decisively ordered Wan Zhen'er.
"Go and call Niu Yu and Liang Fang to guard outside the prince's bedroom. No one can enter or leave without the Ai family's order!"
The only things she could be asked to resolve were family matters.
There is no doubt that the most important thing when it comes to the Tian family now is the Prince of the East Palace.
The scene when Wynn came last time was still vivid in Empress Dowager Sun's mind, so this time, her first reaction was to protect the prince first.
"yes!"
Wan Zhen'er responded and hurriedly turned around and left the palace to do some business. Queen Mother Sun calmed down slightly.
No matter whether Huaien and Ruan Lang came for the prince or not, as long as they couldn't see anyone, there was room for change.
So, the only thing left is, who should she meet first?
After pondering for a moment, Empress Dowager Sun said to Wang Jin beside her.
"Ask Ruan Lang to come in and answer, and have Hua En wait in the side hall first."
Although it is said that Huaien is here to convey the order, and his importance is definitely higher than that of Ruan Lang, but Ruan Lang came here at this time, most likely to find her before Huaien, so there is no need to hesitate about who to see first.
So Wang Jin went down to deliver the message, and not long after, Ruan Lang, who was dusty and gray-haired, came into the hall, kowtowed and saluted.
"Slave, please give your regards to the Holy Mother."
"Get up, why are you so anxious? Come here at this time?"
Queen Mother Sun waved her hand and asked straight to the point.
However, she asked simply, but Ruan Lang hesitated for a while, as if he was hesitant to speak.
Seeing this situation, Queen Mother Sun's heart suddenly sank, and she frowned and asked.
"Now that we've arrived at the Cining Palace of the Ai family, what else are we afraid to say? Is it because the prince has left the cabinet, or what's going on?"
Ruan Lang saw that Queen Mother Sun's guess was wrongly attributed to the prince, and he kowtowed on the ground and said.
"Going back to the Holy Mother has nothing to do with the East Palace. It's... something happened with the Supreme Emperor..."
The Supreme Emperor?
Queen Mother Sun squeezed the bead string in her hand, pressed her right hand on the armrest, and said sternly.
"What's going on? Tell me!"
"Holy Mother, please calm down. Here's what happened. This afternoon, the Supreme Emperor summoned King Bodu, the envoy of Wala, and then..."
Seeing that the Empress Dowager Sun was getting a little excited, Ruan Lang didn't dare to hide anything anymore. He just poured beans out of a bamboo tube and told the whole story.
"...Later, the emperor sent Eunuch Huai'en to send a message, saying that he wanted the Supreme Emperor to revoke the canonization and send the Mongolian woman back to Jibei. However, the Supreme Emperor said that she was just a woman and would not interfere with national affairs. The canonization had been issued and there was no need to do anything.
The principle of taking back..."
At the end of the words, Ruan Lang's voice became lower and lower, and Queen Mother Sun's face became more and more ugly. When she heard the last word, she couldn't help but pat the armrest beside her and said angrily.
"Hutu!"
"Don't he know what the outside world is talking about him now?"
"Idiot, incompetent, lustful, extravagant and extravagant, but what about him? He doesn't even look at himself. Since he returned to Nangong, he has caused so many troubles and has taken in so many concubines!"
"Now that he has been flattered by someone for a few words, he is completely confused. Does he really think that those words came from the emperor?"
"Didn't you hear that? All the ministers in front of the court are in the Wenhua Hall? Doesn't he still think that the handles he handed out are not enough?"
"Go up to the side hall and take a look. The emperor's people have all been sent to the Ai family's palace. Is he here to deliver a message? He is obviously here to see the Ai family's jokes!"
"Look what kind of shameless son the Ai family has given birth to! Let the world see how stupid the Supreme Emperor is!"
In the Cining Palace, Queen Mother Sun suddenly stood up, and her shouts and curses echoed throughout the palace, making all the attendants tremble in fear, and all of them lowered their heads deeply, pretending that they had not heard anything.
Look.
There is no way, Queen Mother Sun's words are too straightforward.
Although they were more or less aware of these contents, they were the Supreme Emperor after all.
Not to mention saying these things out loud, even if they were discussing it in private, if they were discovered, they would be punished by death with a stick. What's more, these words not only involve the Supreme Emperor, but also the Emperor. This is not the case for them.
I can hear it now.
"Your Majesty, calm down!"
Seeing Empress Dowager Sun furious and speaking indiscriminately, Ruan Lang was frightened and kowtowed.
Wang Jin, who was on the side, was also a little frightened. He quietly waved his hand to signal everyone who had nothing to do with it to leave. Then he carefully stepped forward, helped the Queen Mother Sun sit down, and persuaded her.
"Why should the Holy Mother be angry? The Supreme Emperor must have his own considerations for doing this. Besides, the Qianqing Palace has deliberately left the Wala mission in the cold so far, which is probably to force them to find the Supreme Emperor. So, who is planning this matter?
Who is still unknown..."
It should be said that although Wang Jin has not served in Cining Palace for a particularly long time, he still understands the temperament of Queen Mother Sun.
Although the Holy Mother Queen Mother was scolding the Supreme Emperor vigorously, if others spoke ill of the Supreme Emperor, even if she didn't say it, she would definitely be unhappy in her heart.
So at this time, the only way to really ease the atmosphere is to put the Emperor in a good light.
As expected, after saying this, Queen Mother Sun, although still angry, slowly sat down with Wang Jin's support, snorted coldly, and said.
"What can he think about? He is just blinded by beauty! What kind of old friend is he looking for? Is that an ordinary old friend? He is simply obsessed with it!"
However, no matter what, after just scolding each other, Queen Mother Sun's mood finally calmed down. She turned her eyes to Ruan Lang and said with a shameless expression.
"Go back and tell the Supreme Emperor that the Ai family doesn't recognize this matter! That Mongolian woman, let her go back wherever she came from, so that she doesn't come to cause trouble to my Ming dynasty's harem!"
These words were spoken with some emotion, but the attitude inside was unswerving.
However, even though Empress Dowager Sun had spoken so clearly, Ruan Lang was already kneeling on the spot and did not move.
Seeing this look, Queen Mother Sun became angry again, slapped the armrest, stood up again, and said coldly.
"Why, Ruan Lang, during the time when you have been serving in Nangong, the Ai family can no longer control you? Or do you think that the Supreme Emperor will disobey the Ai family because of that foxy child?"
"Holy Mother, please calm down. I dare not, but..."
Ruan Lang's head turned red and he was trembling, but he still spoke clearly.
"Holy Mother, when the slave came, the Supreme Emperor had a few words, asking the slave to tell the Holy Mother. He said that the reason why he accepted the Mongolian woman was because..."
Next, Ruan Lang's voice became softer, but Queen Mother Sun still heard it clearly. However, after listening, she couldn't help but squeeze the bead in her hand tightly, and almost crushed the jade bead to pieces.
.
"Absurd, ridiculous, does he still remember that he is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty?"
"If I had known this, why did the Ai family try so hard to get him to come back? It would be better to die in Wala, so that the Ai family can have the face to see the late emperor!"
Ruan Lang knelt on the ground, not daring to say a word. The air pressure in the entire Cining Palace was frighteningly low.
This time, even Wang Jin did not dare to open his mouth to persuade.
It wasn't until a moment later that Queen Mother Sun took a long breath, gritted her teeth, and said coldly to Wang Jin.
"Go to the side hall and call Hua En over to the Ai family!"
"yes……"
Wang Jin bowed and left this uncomfortable palace step by step. Not long after, Huaien, dressed in a python robe, entered the palace.
He first glanced at Ruan Lang, who was already standing aside with his head bowed in silence, and then at the Empress Dowager Sun, who was obviously looking very ugly, and he already roughly knew the current situation in his mind.
However, despite this, Wynn's face was still very calm, as if everything was as expected, and was not affected by the stagnant atmosphere in the hall at all. Wynn handed over his hands in a neither humble nor overbearing manner.
"The minister sends his regards to the Holy Mother!"
"Get up!"
After what happened last time, Queen Mother Sun felt angry when she saw Wynn, especially when she saw his unfazed look, she felt even more unhappy.
However, she didn't want to argue with him about the current situation. She waved her hand for him to get up, and then said directly.
"Ruan Lang has just told the Ai family about what happened in Nangong. The emperor sent you here, but for the sake of the Supreme Emperor's marriage to the Mongolian woman?"
Wynn nodded and cupped his hands.
"Holy Mother, wise, logically speaking, this matter is a matter for the Supreme Queen's Palace, and it is not for Your Majesty to comment. However, the status of that Mongolian woman is extraordinary. She is the sister of Grand Master Wala Yexian."
"Nowadays, the relationship between Wala and Totuobuhua is extremely bad, and war is about to break out. In order to prevent the Ming Dynasty from being involved in the grassland war again, His Majesty and the senior officials in the court feel that at this time, it is better not to accept people from Wala."
