Chapter 853: Sitting on the dragon chair
"Don't blame me, this lady, all this has nothing to do with me, I am also at the behest of others. If you are really killed by the emperor, don't come to me as a ghost......" The little palace maid couldn't stop muttering, and she trembled and helped Ruan Di to the dragon chair.
After doing all this, the little palace maid was so frightened that she ran out of here.
Ruan Di lay on the emperor's dragon chair, changed his position comfortably, and slept groggyly, completely unaware of what was going to happen.
Coincidentally, at this moment, the Queen Mother happened to come over with the little eunuch.
Originally, they were in the garden, but suddenly heard a little palace maid who came to them say that the prime minister had an urgent matter in the Taihe Palace, and she had to go to the Taihe Palace.
"The Queen Mother, slow down." The little eunuch was holding the lantern and holding the queen mother with one hand, and they talked and laughed when they went into the Taihe Hall and found that there was a woman lying on the dragon chair.
Seeing this situation, the Queen Mother's face instantly darkened, the air around her automatically decreased by a few degrees, and even the light of the moon and stars in the sky dimmed, and everything became oppressive and heavy.
A storm is coming!
"Queen Mother, this woman is really rebellious, she dares to sit on the Queen Mother's dragon chair......" The little eunuch next to him still felt that things were not messy enough, and he chattered in the Queen Mother's ear.
Originally, the Queen Mother was angry, but now seeing such a picture, she can't tolerate being offended by the majesty of today's son.
She snorted coldly, and there was nothing but indifference in her eyes.
"Come on, drag this bold woman down to the mourning family and behead her immediately, and then set an example outside the gate of the violent corpse city for seven days and seven nights!" The Queen Mother blurted out angrily.
Several guards next to him gave an order, and they immediately went to carry Ruan Di away from the dragon chair, wanting to take Ruan Di outside to behead the public.
At the same time, Concubine Zhen happened to come here.
Just now she saw a palace maid like the queen in the palace, helping Ruan Di to rush to this side, afraid that they had another purpose. Now, they really designed a good conspiracy.
"Queen Mother, what's going on? Why do you want to take this girl away, it's better to wait for the Queen Mother. ”
Concubine Zhen came to the side of the Queen Mother, took the Queen Mother's arm and shook it gently.
The smile on her face was so strong that the anger of the Queen Mother subsided a little.
"Concubine Zhen, the mourning family knows that you are kind-hearted, but this matter has nothing to do with you, this woman is rebellious and dares to sit on the emperor's dragon chair. Regardless of whether she was drunk or otherwise, if the mourners did not punish her severely, it would be difficult to convince the public. ”
The Queen Mother gently patted Concubine Zhen's shoulder, this matter is very clear, even if Concubine Zhen intercedes, I'm afraid it will not be easy to do.
Concubine Zhen was not in a hurry, she still responded to the Queen Mother with a gentle smile. The Queen Mother likes her the most on weekdays, and she will give her a little thin noodles.
"The queen mother, the concubine naturally doesn't care about the life or death of this woman, but the concubine thinks about the queen mother. Seeing that she was dressed to attend the Hundred Flowers Banquet, she was either a concubine in the palace, or the wife or daughter of a minister, how dare a woman dare to sit on the dragon chair? If she drank like this, she must have been helped by a palace maid with ulterior motives, if the queen mother killed her like this, wouldn't she fall for the thief's divisive scheme. ”
Concubine Zhen's generous statement made the Queen Mother nod slightly, agreeing with her words.
She was so angry just now that she was dazed, but now that she thinks about it carefully, it is indeed consistent with what Concubine Zhen said, and the strategy of this thief should be the countermeasure.
"Concubine Zhen, you are so bold, you are so rebellious, this woman should be killed! No matter why she came here, it was an offense to the emperor's authority, and if she wasn't put to death, what if someone followed suit? The people in this palace are terrible, is it possible that you want the Queen Mother to be gossiped? ”
The queen glared at Concubine Zhen viciously, her face was full of ferocity and aura. came to the Queen Mother's side and said a few words of consolation.
The Queen Mother actually wanted to kill Ruan Di. So in a few words, the Queen Mother has been moved by what Queen Wang said.
"What the queen said is that this woman is indeed excessive, and only by killing her can she set an example and let all the people know that the emperor's heavenly power is difficult to commit!"
The Queen Mother's words made Concubine Zhen not fall into a hurry, but covered her mouth and laughed, and she immediately approached the Queen Mother.
"Although the words of the people in the palace are terrifying, but you are the queen mother, how can you be afraid of them talking behind their backs. As the saying goes, the body is not afraid of the shadow crooked, the Queen Mother, you are supreme, who dares to talk about right and wrong behind your back......"
Concubine Zhen couldn't wait to put all the words of praise in the ears of the Queen Mother. Although the Queen Mother likes to listen to these words, it does not mean that she is a Queen Mother who can be fooled at will.
The reason why I listened to Queen Wang's words was also because she really had the same thoughts as herself.
Concubine Zhen naturally knew this, and she kept knocking on the side, saying all kinds of excuses and reasons to excuse Ruan Di.
"Queen Mother, it is precisely because of this that you have to let her go, so that the reputation of the Queen Mother is good, and everyone will praise the Queen Mother, you understand the righteousness ......" Concubine Zhen's every sentence said to the Queen Mother's heart.
The Queen Mother was just angry for a moment just now, but now after listening to Concubine Zhen's words, she laughed happily.
"Concubine Zhen, you are really the interpreter of the mourning family, your words and mourning already know what to do, and the mourning family will let this woman go. However, the real culprit behind this must be investigated, and the mourning family cannot let go of the person who did such a ridiculous thing. ”
The Queen Mother's face was gloomy, and she cast her eyes on the eunuch beside her.
The little eunuch gave the order, ran out in a hurry, and came back in less than a moment.
"Queen Mother, the girl who helped Mrs. in just threw herself into the well, and her body is being salvaged, it seems that she was forcibly pushed down, and her head is upside down."
But anyone who throws himself into the well, if they are willing, they will face their heads up instead of down, which is obviously someone deliberately killing the little palace maid.
"Queen Mother, it seems that someone deliberately directed this conspiracy in an attempt to affect the reputation of the royal family, and the Queen Mother must not let go of the person behind it."
Concubine Zhen pretended to be pitiful, and began to cry, crying pear blossoms with fish, which made the Queen Mother feel sorry in her heart.
The queen on one side gritted her teeth hatefully. Liao Changyun, who was following Queen Wang's side, had an even more ugly face, everything they had planned was now in vain because of Concubine Zhen.
Queen Wang just stared at Concubine Zhen's position, she didn't say anything excessive, and the Queen Mother's reaction just now was obviously that she had listened to Concubine Zhen's words and was unwilling to kill Ruan Di again.
"The prince has arrived!" With a shout, a figure came out from the side, it was none other than Liao Changkong.
Liao Changkong was followed by a few guards, and a group of people rushed towards him, and Qi Xiaoxian stood beside him.
"Imperial grandmother, the retainer heard that something happened in the palace, so he rushed here as soon as possible." Liao Changkong had a sad face and strode to the side of the Queen Mother.
