In fact, this idea was a good one, but Concubine Shu did not expect that due to some strange circumstances, the Queen Mother's anger was actually directed at the child.
After learning about the incident at the Duke's Mansion, Concubine Shu thought about it for a long time and felt that it was impossible for the Queen Mother to do this. It must have been an accident this time. It must have been a child who was greedy and wanted to eat, so something happened.
But in this case, her plan can only be put on hold temporarily.
She later became frightened. What if this matter was found out about her? Wouldn't she offend two people at once?
That foreman must be dealt with quickly! She called: "Come here! Where is Zhao Liang?"
After a while, Zhao Liang hurried in and said, "Mother!"
"Where have you gone!" Concubine Shu glanced at him. Zhao Liang's face changed slightly. He wanted to say something, but hesitated again.
Fortunately, Concubine Shu did not have any doubts. She only said: "It happens that my sister will leave the palace tomorrow. Please report and come out of the palace, and then..." She whispered a few words.
Zhao Liang's eyes flashed and he bowed his head in response.
In Cining Palace.
After Aunt Fu and others returned, the Queen Mother's mood improved.
Apart from her eyesight and bad teeth, she was actually in good health, and she didn't fall down after such a trouble.
But he still complained that he was sick, and only said that he felt sorry for his child.
As an elder, she fell ill because of an accident. After all, even if Dumpling Nian Gao died, Yan Shiyue could not settle the score with her! Otherwise, it would be unfilial!
Thinking like this, she kept lying down.
As a result, when I woke up in the morning, I saw someone talking to Grandma Fu outside. Grandma Fu looked shocked.
But after he came in, he didn't say anything.
The Queen Mother was terrified, fearing that she would hear something bad, but enduring this made her even more uncomfortable.
So the Queen Mother finally asked: "What happened!"
Aunt Fu hesitated.
The Queen Mother glared and said, "Say! The Ai family has enjoyed enough blessings in these decades! We have seen a lot of ups and downs! It's just that our children and grandchildren are unfilial! The Ai family has to bear the burden!"
Why does it involve children and grandchildren being unfilial?
Aunt Fu was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly replied: "My condolences, Queen Mother, it was the Crown Prince who was drunk and riding a horse... and couldn't save me."
The Crown Prince? The Queen Mother was stunned for a moment, riding a horse after being drunk?
She suddenly came back to her senses and realized that she was talking about Nan Sui Bo Mansion, her nephew.
The Queen Mother was shocked: "What!"
Aunt Fu said: "The prince came out of the Ruanhong Mansion yesterday. He drank too much and brought a new favorite. He was not allowed to follow. As a result, he fell off his horse and hit his head on a stone. He carried him back to the house.
I died."
The Queen Mother was stunned for a long time.
Then he said angrily: "How could it be such a coincidence! Check the Ai family! Check carefully!"
The Queen Mother has been doing nothing for many years. What she knows is what others want her to know.
Soon, she found out that Concubine Shu had a grudge against Yan Shiyue for the sake of the eighth prince, so she deliberately caused the glass incident to sow discord between the Queen Mother and Yan Shiyue. And yesterday... Zhao Liang, the eunuch who was also Concubine Shu,
In the name of Tianzhuang, I asked for permission to leave the palace, but I didn't return until sunset.
Aunt Fu whispered in a low voice: "The Concubine Shu has four concubines, but she has never put makeup on any of them. This one was still in her infancy when the Concubine Shu entered the palace."
"That's it!" The Queen Mother sneered angrily: "How bold! You actually treated the Ai family like monkeys! At this point, you still want to sow discord between the Ai family and Fuyan!"
Again, people are always used to forgiving themselves.
The Queen Mother is not stupid. This matter cannot be made public. Otherwise, if she grinds dumplings and rice cakes and becomes a famous teacher, she will not be able to explain it clearly with a hundred mouths.
She selectively ignored that it was because of Kuro Juro that she thought about the dumplings and rice cakes. She only knew that Concubine Shu was stirring up trouble in the middle! It made her hate Fuyan!
The Queen is a transparent person and rarely thinks about such conspiracies. Moreover, from her position, she really doesn't need to think too much about many things.
Now, they only need to bribe someone, and they will take care of the rest themselves.
Concubine Shu didn't know that her subordinates had defected, and she didn't even know that she was already hated by the Queen Mother.
But the queen has already retired, waiting for these people to slowly bite her, and both sides will suffer losses.
The Duke's Mansion.
Yan Shiyue has not been out since that day, spending time with dumplings and rice cakes.
The two children are so sensible that it makes people feel sad.
When feeding the medicine, they seemed aggrieved, and they would swallow it obediently with tears in their eyes. Sometimes they would spit it out in pain, and they would hold it and rock it, so that they could still feed it later.
Sometimes when I feel uncomfortable and irritable, I won't cry or make a fuss. I will just moan and crawl into someone's arms, hold her hand, and touch her head and belly.
Every time Yan Shiyue saw it, he felt like his heart was being cut with a knife.
She always thought, even if it was ten times or a hundred times, would it be nice for her to feel sorry for them! They were not even three years old yet!
She heard Linlang talk about this matter in detail, and she was more inclined to think that the Queen Mother did it on purpose than the Queen and Concubine Shu.
Maybe he didn't mean to harm them, but at least he made them drink the tonic soup on purpose.
Sitting in the Queen Mother's seat, she didn't even have to do anything herself. She only needed to express her displeasure towards them in a small way, and naturally there would be people below to join in the fun and use their own methods.
The Queen Mother is a smart person.
But sometimes whether you are smart or not depends on when and to whom.
Just like the old princess back then, she would be good to anyone who was useful to her, such as Yan Tingyue.
As for other people except Yan Tingyue, such as Yan Chengyuan and Yan Chengze, she has little affection for them. Because she is in a superior position, she enjoys their filial piety as a matter of course, and demands and privileges as a matter of course. She does not need anything in return.
But the Queen Mother is different.
She must have loved Emperor Ming Yan very much.
But apart from that, she will treat other people well, whoever makes her feel comfortable and whoever makes her happy.
When they met for the first time, her first sentence was to ask about luck. When she and Jingbin were in tit-for-tat at the end, she said, "They chattered endlessly as soon as they met." This actually shows her temperament.
At that time, she wanted to see her, firstly out of curiosity, and secondly out of luck, subconsciously, she had the intention of taking it for herself.
But once you find that you can't do it, your interest will disappear.
As for the palace concubines, to her, they are just toys. If they cannot make her happy, then they should be driven away. There is nothing to consider.
Very calm and willful.
As the Empress Dowager, at her age, this is actually normal and understandable. Standing in that position and worrying too much is not good.
However, you must know that the Queen Mother has never raised grandchildren before, and she is not keen on asking any of her children to kowtow. If it weren't for the fact that the nine and tenth ones look like Emperor Ming Yan, she might not be tempted to ask them to raise them.
So she may not really like children, but her love for dumplings and rice cakes is too sudden and inexplicable.
unreasonable.
There must be something wrong.
She did it on purpose, deliberately harming her child!!
But even if Yan Shiyue thought over and over again in her heart and concluded that the Queen Mother did it on purpose, what could she do?
There was Emperor Ming Yan in the middle, so she had to consider his mood. (To be continued)
