"Mother Zhong, do you think there is a problem with this matter?" Wu Taifei couldn't make up her mind for a moment and asked Mother Zhong.
Aunt Zhong pondered for a moment before saying: "It is said that the Queen Mother was poisoned, and it has been a year, and the person who poisoned her has not been found yet. If the Emperor treats Princess Bo Rong in the funeral arrangements, there must be a proper reason.
.The old slave was thinking, could it be that Concubine Rong poisoned the Queen Mother, and that the Queen Mother and the Emperor had such an abnormal reaction?"
In particular, Queen Mother Guo was poisoned, followed by Princess Rong's suicide. The timing was so coincidental that it was difficult not to connect the two events.
"It makes sense. The Ai family didn't have a deep impression of the Rong family. After the death of the late emperor, she also fell silent. In the end, she left the harem in such a way, which makes people sigh." Concubine Wu sighed silently.
During the previous dynasty, she was the strongest person in the entire harem. Everyone wanted to see her face. Will she end up like the Rong family in the end, without even a chance to be buried with the late emperor?
"With the status of Concubine Rong, it is not surprising that she would end up like this. Don't worry, my concubine. This kind of thing will never happen to me." Aunt Zhong disagreed.
Concubine Wu thought of the business and led to the topic: "If the poison to Queen Mother Guo was given by the Rong family, then why did the Rong family do it? There must be a reason for this. Find an opportunity to investigate this matter secretly. Yes.
After making progress, report to the Ai family and go ahead."
Aunt Zhong responded and left.
Madam Zhong's original intention was to find the palace servants who had served in Yuankang Palace. The chamberlain and the nanny searched for information, but after searching around, they found that there was not a single servant in the harem who had served in Yuankang Palace.
So it's not easy to find someone to get information.
She specially returned to Concubine Wu to report the matter. After hearing this, Concubine Wu was silent for a long time and then asked: "Could it be that the emperor or Empress Dowager Guo silenced her?"
Since the death of the late emperor, she has been struggling in this harem, and she has fallen directly from heaven to hell. Such a gap has made her live a low-key life, barely surviving.
"I heard that when Concubine Rong was alive, there were not many servants in Yuankang Palace. Qian followed Concubine Rong. Logically speaking, there should be a few servants left." Aunt Zhong replied.
For example, there must be someone in the small kitchen, but the people in the small kitchen are not in the harem, and their whereabouts are unknown, as if they have disappeared from the world. This only means one problem, either they were sent away or they were destroyed.
Got it.
After hearing this, Mrs. Wu frowned coldly: "That means you have been silenced. If there is no evil in his heart, how could the emperor not tolerate a few servants?"
She knew early on that Xiao Ce was cold-blooded and ruthless, and he was very decisive in his actions. Sure enough, Xiao Ce showed his true nature after he ascended the throne.
"If the Queen Mother really killed Princess Rong, the Emperor would definitely help the Queen Mother cover it up." Aunt Zhong felt that this was expected.
However, some things will never be known to a third party. Concubine Rong is dead, and many secrets have been brought to dust by Concubine Rong.
"If I try to find out more about the situation, I might make an unexpected discovery." Aunt Zhong took the initiative to take on the job.
Concubine Wu nodded, "You are the only one around the Ai family who can run errands now. Just check it out, the Ai family is counting on you."
"Your Majesty's words are serious, this is what I should do." Madam Zhong said and asked Lingxue to wait beside Concubine Wu while she continued to go to the harem to inquire about the news.
The result was certainly not optimistic. Aunt Zhong found nothing.
When Mrs. Wu learned about this, she was not too disappointed. She just told Aunt Zhong not to be discouraged. Maybe there would be gains in the future.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Concubine Wu woke up the next day, Aunt Zhong hurried in and handed her a secret note: "This is what I just found. Please take a look at it."
Seeing Nanny Zhong's solemn expression, Mrs. Wu felt her heart tremble. She took the secret note and scanned it roughly. After reading the entire content, her heart sank: "Where did you pick this up?"
"It's in front of the old slave's room. After the old slave found it, he read the contents and told the empress immediately." Aunt Zhong knelt down in front of Concubine Wu: "If it is true that Empress Dowager Guo caused the concubine to have a miscarriage, and
To make the empress infertile from now on, the empress must take revenge no matter what."
She and the empress had been investigating this matter for many years, but there was still no name. But who would have thought that after the new emperor came to the throne, and the empress had no backer, someone suddenly told them that the person who harmed the empress was none other than the Queen Mother Guo, and even if this woman was poisoned
Poison was rescued and is now flourishing in the harem.
"Revenge? Easier said than done?!" Mrs. Wu frowned and looked not far ahead: "The Ai family is now weak and has no one to help them. How are they going to deal with the Guo family?"
She had great success in the previous dynasty, so how could she know that her biggest enemy was actually the Guo family whom she had bullied for twenty years?
She punched the table hard: "It's so hateful!!"
How dare Mrs. Guo do such a cruel thing to her? And she has been deceived by the hypocritical Mr. Guo for twenty years.
If it weren't for the Guo family, she wouldn't be able to leave behind a son and a half. If it weren't for the Guo family, Xiao Ce would never be able to take power in the world of Daqi.
Aunt Zhong crawled to Concubine Wu and burst into tears: "Your Majesty, your great youth was wasted in the palace and the harem. The late Emperor was very kind to your Majesty. If it weren't for Empress Dowager Guo's evil deeds, your Majesty would not have ended up like this. Your Majesty must take revenge."
…”
She burst into tears because she hated Empress Dowager Guo from the bottom of her heart and sympathized with her master's plight.
They never expected that it was Empress Dowager Guo who murdered the empress. If someone hadn't reported it, this matter would have been brought to dust.
"The Rong family was silenced by the Guo family because they knew this secret. The emperor must also know this secret. If the Ai family takes action, I'm afraid the emperor will also kill the Ai family." Concubine Wu closed her eyes: "The Ai family is very confused.
, please step back and let the Aijia think about it by themselves."
Aunt Zhong followed the instructions and exited the room.
She stood at the door and kept wiping tears.
The Empress Dowager once ran the harem, but her biggest failure was that she could not conceive, and she was framed. The culprit who harmed the Empress Dowager was actually the Empress Dowager Guo, who had been bullied by the Empress for half her life.
Fortunately, she used to think that Queen Mother Guo was a bit pitiful, but she didn't know that Queen Mother Guo was actually such a vicious woman.
Not to mention the Empress Dowager's hatred, she also hated Empress Dowager Guo very much.
If the concubine cannot take revenge in this life, as a close attendant, she will definitely die with her eyes open!
Concubine Wu thought about it for a long time, and her mind was still confused.
That night, Queen Mother Guo suddenly appeared in Changkang Palace.
Seeing the gentle face of Queen Mother Guo and thinking of the vicious things that Queen Mother Guo had done, Mrs. Wu was stirred up in her heart, but her face remained calm.
