Not everyone is qualified to see this lively scene.
In addition to Empress Yu and a group of princes and concubines, there were only a few people who shamelessly followed her in the end. Among them were Princess Linjiang, Princess Hejian, and several old ladies from the pavilion.
Mrs. Xiao was worried about her sister-in-law, and even more worried about Xiao Yuhan, so she shamelessly asked Ying to follow them.
If Emperor Jianwen knew something secretly, I don't know how he would feel in his heart.
Before his body was even cold and buried, his wife, daughters and daughters-in-law began to vie for power in the palace.
Xie Mingxi walked slowly and slowly, neither rushing forward nor deliberately falling behind. She just maintained a position where she could see everyone clearly without being affected.
Mrs. Song was still kneeling on the ground, and the other female family members were also kneeling.
Princess Changping, whose face was full of anger and gloomy, when she saw the huge group of people headed by Queen Yu, she cried with red eyes: "Queen Mother, you are finally here!"
"This Mrs. Song is disrespectful to my father. She is chatting and joking here. There are all the witnesses, but she refuses to plead guilty. It is nothing more than insulting my youth."
"Now that the Queen Mother is finally here, let's see if she still dares to quibble! The Queen Mother must punish her severely to appease the father's spirit in heaven."
Like a girl who had been wronged, she cried and fell into Queen Yu's arms.
Xie Mingxi raised her eyebrows slightly.
In the past, I only thought that Princess Changping was a little proud and strong, but I didn't expect that her acting skills were so brilliant. This cry and complaint was extremely clever. It not only discredited the Song family, but also cleverly resolved the previous overbearing and domineering behavior.
Sure enough, he came prepared!
It seems that the Xiao family will definitely suffer a loss today.
A look of distress flashed in Queen Yu's eyes, and when her gaze glanced at Mrs. Song's face, it turned into flames of anger.
The Song family could withstand the anger of Princess Changping, but under the wrath of Queen Yu, she felt cold in her heart, did not have the courage to look at her, and lowered her head.
Xiao Yuhan secretly thought something was wrong. He took a step forward and said softly: "Third Aunt, is what the emperor just said true? The queen mother is the most tolerant and will never slander anyone without any solid evidence.
I have wronged you. If you have any grievances, you might as well tell me. Your mother will definitely make the decision for you!"
Very well handled!
Xie Mingxi secretly shook her head.
Empress Yu and her daughter worked hard to create such a favorable situation, just to make the Xiao family lose face and step on the East Palace. How could they back down just because of Xiao Yuhan's few fluttering words?
Sure enough, as soon as Xiao Yuhan finished speaking, Queen Yu said coldly: "I have eyes to see and ears to hear, but I haven't reached the age of old fools yet. Madam Xiao, please step aside first until I can't deal with it.
Okay, let me ask you what you think again."
Xiao Yuhan blushed and hurriedly bowed: "My daughter-in-law doesn't dare."
Not to mention Xie Mingxi, even Yin Xiaoxiao noticed something was wrong and couldn't help but frown.
At this time, either you have to fight openly and openly with Empress Yu and Princess Changping as soon as you get to the end. If you are pressured by the word "filial piety", you will give in. How can you have the confidence to compete next?
Li Xiangru glanced at Xiao Yuhan who was flushed with schadenfreude.
Zhao Changqing became more tactful and took the initiative to hold Xiao Yuhan's hand and said softly: "Sister-in-law of the Three Emperors, don't be anxious. The Queen Mother will handle this matter impartially."
Xie Mingxi was stunned.
The most unfavorable thing in life is to be someone who is on both sides of the fence. Zhao Changqing's ambiguous attitude and unclear stance is not a good thing.
As for Xie Mingxi herself, she naturally knew that Xiao Yuhan was no match for Queen Yu at this time. However, she had no intention of intervening in this matter. The fight for power in the palace had nothing to do with her.
Just stand back and watch the excitement.
…
Empress Yu has been in charge of the Central Palace for many years, and has accumulated deep prestige and strong aura. She can control the overall situation with just one mouth.
He first shocked the Crown Princess Xiao Yuhan, then opened his mouth to ask the palace maids, and then, unhurriedly, he asked the royal family members kneeling in front of them one by one.
Under the gaze of those cold and sharp eyes, someone finally couldn't resist and relaxed, and opened his mouth to admit tremblingly: "...To answer the question, Mrs. Song did joke in a low voice before. She said that the emperor was guilty of indulging in women.
And to pass away can be regarded as being a ghost under the peonies, which is also romantic."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed.
Xiao Yuhan took a breath and looked at Mrs. Song in disbelief.
Mr. Song is so audacious! How dare you say such treasonous words!
Mrs. Song's face was so miserable that she could no longer kneel down. She defended herself: "My wife never said this... How dare I be disrespectful to the late emperor..."
Empress Yu's face was as cold as frost, and her eyes were like knives, scraping across Song's face inch by inch: "What a Song! Who gave you the courage to falsely discuss the late Emperor in private!"
"If you hadn't said these words yourself, who would have dared to arrange them arbitrarily!"
Then, his cold eyes passed over the remaining female relatives one by one: "I will give you one last chance to tell the truth. Otherwise, I will also punish you!"
She even said the words "criminal punishment and punishment"! This shows how furious Queen Yu was!
Although the several female relatives were friends with the Song family, they were not close to each other. Seeing that the Song family was about to be in bad luck, no one dared to support the Song family anymore, and they kowtowed one by one and begged for mercy: "My queen, forgive me!
The Song family did say these words. A minister should not cover up for the Song family."
"Your Majesty, please forgive me! I will never dare to do this again!"
"My wife should not lie for her. Please give me a gentle punishment!"
Mrs. Song has collapsed to the ground.
It's one thing to joke, but it's another thing to privately criticize the cause of Emperor Wen's death. With these two sentences alone, Empress Yu had enough reasons to deal with her.
Xiao Yuhan's heart also felt cold.
Today, the Song family is in doom. The face of the East Palace will also be lost.
…
No one expected that someone would stand up to intercede for the Song family at this time.
No one expected that the intercessor would be Xie Mingxi, who had always stayed out of the matter.
"Mother, calm down," Xie Mingxi stepped forward and said, "What Song said is indeed inappropriate. However, my father's body is still in the mourning hall and has not yet been buried. To start a fight at this time would be disrespectful to my father."
"Furthermore, these criticisms and speculations are really unpalatable. Once spread, wouldn't everyone know about it?"
"How can my father, who has been so famous throughout his life, bear such an unfavorable reputation?"
"So, my daughter-in-law has the courage to ask her mother to suppress this matter. Do not spread it out, otherwise it will damage the dignity of the royal family."
After saying that, Xie Mingxi bowed slightly.
The anger in Queen Yu's eyes subsided slightly and she gave Xie Mingxi a steady look.
No matter what Xie Mingxi's intentions were, at least one sentence spoke to her heart.
It doesn't matter whether a person from the Song family lives or lives. However, the jade bottle cannot be damaged by hunting mice. Emperor Jianwen is dead, and she will never allow anyone to tarnish Emperor Jianwen's posthumous name.
