After sitting down, Princess Rong was the first to break the silence: "There are no other outsiders at the moment. If the emperor has any questions, just ask. The Ai family will tell you everything they know."
Looking at the peaceful Concubine Rong in front of him, Xiao Ce's eyes were complicated, "I want to know if it was the Concubine who murdered the Queen Mother."
Concubine Rong was silent for a moment without making any quibbles. She nodded slowly: "It's the Aijia."
When Xiao Ce heard Concubine Rong's answer, he felt heavy: "Why?!"
Since Concubine Rong didn't care about world affairs, why would she poison the Queen Mother? He couldn't figure it out.
Concubine Rong looked at Xiao Ce calmly and said word by word: "Because the Ai family wants to avenge the unjust deaths of those who died in the hands of Empress Dowager Guo. Among them are Yonghe's biological mother, Concubine Wan, and Wang Zhaoyi, who raised Yonghe.
.The emperor doesn’t know yet, but the reason why Concubine Wu was unable to conceive in the previous dynasty was the concubine Shu at that time. Of course, these are all secondary. There is only one fundamental reason why the Ai family must take action, which is to avenge the late emperor.
"The emperor should be the first person to know the true nature of Empress Dowager Guo. The concubine Shu in the previous dynasty looked virtuous and virtuous, and was the most infatuated woman in the entire harem. She loved the late emperor all her life, but was not taken seriously by the late emperor. In the end, extreme love led to hatred.
, Concubine Shu simply took matters into her own hands and poisoned the late emperor. Isn’t it incredible? Emperor, you know Empress Dowager Guo best, and you should know that Empress Dowager Guo can do such a vicious thing." Concubine Rong smiled miserably: "The former harem said that
Concubine Wu is cruel and cruel, who would have known that the real cruel and cruel person is Concubine Shu!"
Xiao Ce looked blank and didn't answer.
Concubine Rong continued: "The Ai family knows that even if it is found out that Queen Mother Guo was the person who murdered the late emperor, the emperor will not admit this fact. As a parent, the emperor cannot do anything to his biological mother, so the Ai family will do it for him.
The innocent soul who died at the hands of Queen Mother Guo redressed his grievances. The Ai family will not regret what they have done. No matter what the emperor does to the Ai family, the Ai family will not complain. Everything that the Ai family wants to say has been explained, if there is nothing else
Please ask the emperor for help."
Xiao Ce turned around numbly, and soon he remembered another important question: "How did the concubine poison the queen mother without her knowing it?"
The Queen Mother would have an imperial doctor check her Ping'an pulse every few days. In addition to the frequent headaches, the Queen Mother would often have her pulse checked, but no one could tell that the Queen Mother was poisoned.
Luo Qing said that the poison the Queen Mother was exposed to was accumulated over time. The poison was actually a tonic, but it accumulated in the internal organs and became a fatal poison. This is the principle that too much is not enough.
So, there is someone who can often deliver so-called tonics to the Queen Mother. How is this accomplished?
"It's not difficult. Yuankang Palace is very close to Cihe Palace. The Ai family naturally thought of a perfect way to attack the Empress Dowager Guo without her noticing. This is called the Ai family's way of treating others.
He is a human being." Concubine Rong looked a little tired: "Ai Jia is tired, the emperor invites you."
Xiao Ce looked at Concubine Rong for a while and then said: "The country has national laws and the family has family rules. Concubine Rong should know that this is not a good thing."
Concubine Rong looked indifferent: "The Emperor wants to deal with the Ai family. The Ai family has no objection. Emperor, please."
Qin Zhao, who was outside Yuankang Palace, heard this and knew that Concubine Rong still had reservations.
How did Concubine Rong attack Empress Dowager Guo? This matter was inherently fishy.
Furthermore, Concubine Rong’s motive for poisoning could not have been because of the late emperor.
But Concubine Wan's death was actually the fault of Empress Dowager Guo, and the reason why Concubine Wu failed to give birth to a son and a half daughters was actually thanks to Empress Dowager Guo.
These two mysteries that she thought could never be solved during the previous dynasty were both solved by Princess Rong today.
Queen Mother Guo is really good at it.
On the surface, it seems that Concubine Wu is running around the harem, but everything is under the control of Queen Mother Guo, and her destiny is entirely controlled by Queen Mother Guo. This is the most terrifying thing about Queen Mother Guo.
The moment Xiao Ce walked out of Yuankang Palace, he saw Qin Zhao waiting outside.
Seeing him coming out, Qin Zhao came forward to greet him and held his hand: "The emperor's palms are so cold."
She held his hands with her warm palms and kept breathing hot air: "Outside, please accompany the emperor back to Yangxin Hall. It will be much better to burn the earth dragon over there."
Xiao Ce looked at Qin Zhao's warm face and wondered what kind of complicated feeling he had.
At this time, Qin Zhao put the child into Xiao Ce's arms: "I am holding my son so heavy, please help me, Your Majesty."
Cece took the heavy meat dumpling. The moment he saw the child, the child who never liked to smile actually smiled at him, revealing his small mouth with just two teeth. It was really interesting.
"Little Atom actually laughed when he saw the emperor." Qin Zhao saw it clearly from the side and was surprised.
Xiao Ce was also attracted by the child's smile.
The child has not liked to smile since he was born. Today, he saw the child's smile up close for the first time. While he was moved, the coldness in his heart also melted at the child's smile.
"Little Atom seems to like the emperor more. No matter how much I tease him, he doesn't laugh." Qin Zhao's voice reached Xiao Ce's ears.
Xiao Ce met Qin Zhao's smiling eyebrows.
Although she did it without leaving any trace, he knew that she was giving him warmth in this way.
Even though there are many ugly people and things in this world, there are also beautiful people like her.
"Go back to Jinyang Palace." Xiao Ce took Qin Zhao's hand and sat on the chariot, his mood restored to calm.
On the way back to Jinyang Palace, Qin Zhao did not mention Yuankang Palace, but only chatted with Xiao Ce about domestic matters.
"Your Majesty, why don't you stay with Xiao Atom today? The unfinished government affairs will be continued tomorrow. Anyway, it won't be long." After returning to Jinyang Palace, Qin Zhaoti suggested.
Xiao Ce's heart must be very confused at this moment. He doesn't have the extra mood to deal with government affairs, so he might as well be lazy for a day and give himself a small holiday.
"I'd better go back to the Yangxin Palace." Xiao Ce rejected Qin Zhao's proposal.
Qin Zhao knew how confused he was at the moment, and also knew that he wanted to be alone for a while.
She held his hand tightly: "Then I will escort the emperor out."
When Xiao Ce's chariot team walked away, she sighed softly and returned to Jinyang Palace with Xiao Atom in her arms.
Did she do the right thing this time?
If there are hidden dangers, they should be eliminated as soon as possible. Xiao Ce should one day know about the evil things done by the Queen Mother Guo.
If it was said that Concubine Rong was seeking revenge for the late emperor, she would never believe it.
At this time, she remembered a key figure, that is, Imperial Physician Feng who once diagnosed the pulse in front of the late emperor.
Imperial Physician Feng must have been killed by Empress Dowager Guo, because Imperial Physician Feng was the one who poisoned the late emperor. But why did Imperial Physician Feng sacrifice his life for Empress Dowager Guo?
She had a very good impression of Dr. Feng. He usually didn't talk much and was sincere. He didn't seem like someone who would commit murder.
And the most important point is that Dr. Feng holds a high position, but he has been alone for so many years.
