Although she subjectively did not believe that Emperor Qingming had done this, the emperor was still suspicious until the matter was clarified.
Moreover, no matter who she, Wu Chao or Jiao Jiao was, no matter what the reason was, as long as they revealed to the emperor information that the Queen Mother might be in danger soon, they would inevitably arouse suspicion.
And she didn't think that Emperor Qingming's involvement would definitely be able to prevent the accident from happening - she was afraid that not only would it not be able to prevent it, but it would also cause chaos.
Because up to this moment, she was still not sure what the truth of this accident was.
Listening to this question from her friend, Princess Yufeng's expression gradually became complicated.
She is not a fool.
Even if she didn't inquire about many things or ask too many questions, she was not completely unaware of what her emperor uncle was like.
And the most important thing is that she believes in Zhaozhao more than this uncle.
Since Zhaozhao said this, he must have a more accurate judgment - in other words, if Zhaozhao said that her uncle was a fool, then he must be.
"In this case, it won't be too late -" Princess Yufeng quickly made a decision, and then she and Xu Mingyi looked at Princess Jingrong.
So, what happened next happened.
Princess Jingrong made a fuss about going to see the imperial brother, but Princess Yufeng failed to dissuade her in every possible way, so she had no choice but to chase after her.
After meeting the imperial brother, the eldest princess Jingrong cried like a tearful person and said she wanted to find his wife.
Emperor Qingming was discussing matters with several ministers at that time. He was dizzy because of her crying and could not get angry. He could only indulge and pamper her in front of others and allowed Princess Jingrong to go to the mausoleum to find the Queen Mother.
Princess Jingrong is going, and Princess Yufeng must of course follow her.
So the three of them quickly got on the carriage heading to the mausoleum temple.
In the car, Princess Yufeng was patting the eldest princess on the head and praising: "Xie Dingning, I didn't expect you to be of some use."
The eldest princess looked proud.
Seeing her like this, Princess Yufeng's action of patting her head turned into poking her forehead: "But if you cry, just cry, why do you still accuse me of bullying you? You ruined my reputation as a filial daughter in public. If you turn around and cause me to be punished,
Impeachment of the censor, let's see how I settle this account with you..."
The eldest princess knocked her hand off and complained dissatisfiedly: "Aren't you just bullying me now!"
"Yes, yes, I'm just bullying you." Princess Yufeng used her hand to tickle her and said, "Then you should call Yushi Ming to impeach me."
"Okay, stop making trouble." Xu Mingyi took his friend's paws away from Princess Jingrong and said, "The mausoleum temple is coming soon."
Located at the foot of Lingshan Mountain, the mausoleum temple was built not too far away. It was located between the imperial mausoleum and the palace. After the carriage left the palace, it only took a cup of tea to arrive.
When several people arrived, the Queen Mother was copying scriptures in the Zen room in the back hall.
"lady!"
Hearing the eldest princess's voice, the Queen Mother, who had received a letter and knew that she would come, put down the pen in her hand, raised her eyes and looked over with a smile.
"I heard that you are coming to accompany the Ai family. The Ai family is very happy."
The Queen Mother held the hand of Princess Jingrong who was kneeling in front of her, but her smiling eyes fell on Xu Mingyi, who was still pretending to be a maid next to Princess Yufeng.
Xu Mingyi smiled happily.
"But the Ai family has serious errands to do this time. When chanting and copying scriptures, you must calm down and not listen to any noise." The Queen Mother gently scratched the tip of Princess Jingrong's nose with her finger and said with a smile.
.
The eldest princess nodded when she heard this, quickly covered her mouth, and made an inarticulate voice: "Don't worry, madam, Ding Ning won't disturb you..."
The Queen Mother stroked the back of her head, nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, you're so good."
Concubine Sun on the side couldn't help but smile.
When Xu Mingyi entered the mausoleum, he paid attention to everyone he saw. When he saw the concubine accompanying the Queen Mother, he couldn't help but take a second look without any trace.
The woman wearing a plain blue gown had her hair neatly combed into a bun, using only a white jade hairpin.
Dressed up like this, the woman's already mediocre face looked even more plain.
Concubine Sun was the biological mother of King Xiang, and she was also the only concubine that the late emperor took after he married the current Queen Mother as his royal wife.
According to common sense, if this concubine is not from a good background, then she must have a good appearance.
But Concubine Sun has neither of these two things.
Because Xu Mingyi is paying special attention to the affairs of the court, he accidentally heard something about this Concubine Sun——
During a battle, the late emperor was ambushed by the enemy on the way and was seriously injured and almost died. He was accidentally rescued by a folk doctor. After he recovered from his injuries and was welcomed back by the soldiers, he gave the doctor a personal jade pendant and promised him that he would be a good man in the future.
If there is any difficulty, just go to him.
However, no one came to the door with a jade pendant for a long time.
Just when the late emperor almost forgot about it, a young girl came to the military camp holding a jade pendant.
The late emperor saw her and recognized her as the doctor's daughter - it turned out that her father had passed away and she was an orphan with no place to live in this troubled world.
Looking for a place to stay.
However, the savior's daughter came to seek refuge. If she really asked someone to act like a cow or a horse, wouldn't it be repaying kindness with enmity?
It is said that at first he was kept in the mansion and treated as a guest. However, some indescribable things happened between him and the late emperor, and his wife was generous, so he became a guest.
Regardless of what happened back then, this concubine was one of the few people in the palace who could keep company with the Queen Mother these years.
By now it was getting dark and it was almost time for dinner, so the eldest maid Zhiyue went to the kitchen and arranged to prepare a few more meals.
After the fasting meal was delivered, Zhiyue laid the meal herself, divided the porridge, and brought the porridge bowl to the Queen Mother.
Xu Mingyi, who was standing behind Princess Yufeng, looked at these meals and felt a little uneasy.
She still remembered that at the post house that night, after the eldest palace maid named Zhiyue came back, the Queen Mother urged her and Jiao Jiao to go back to rest, and there was some precaution in it. Therefore, she judged that Zhiyue was probably arranged by the Emperor to stay with the Queen Mother
The eyeliner around me...
It just so happened that these meals were all prepared by Fang Jing.
She had discussed with Wu Chao before that if what happened to the Queen Mother was really not an accident, would the Emperor really have no suspicion?
The answer is naturally no.
Even if they couldn't think of the emperor's motive for taking action, the emperor's people were everywhere in the mausoleum and around the Queen Mother. It was the easiest thing to do something while hiding it from the public - after all, what if the emperor had any problem with him?
Wrong?
At this time, the eldest princess, Jiao Jiao, and Princess Sun also wanted to eat vegetables. If there is really a possibility of manipulation in these meals, then the problem should probably be in the porridge bowl in front of the Queen Mother...
