His Majesty once married me

Qi Yunheng thought that what Ouyang wanted to discuss with him must be some aftermath.

The Queen Mother's death seemed to be a coincidence, but if it happened to such an extent that the words could not be followed, then it must have used some means to present the inevitable result to the world in a coincidental way.

When the incident happened, Ouyang had been with him all the time, and there was no possibility of pre-arrangement. In all likelihood, he used some kind of means that is beyond the reach of people, which made him get what he wanted.

Such a method may have a price, such as what needs to be paid, and it may not be hidden from some extraordinary people, such as Shen Zhenren, so Ouyang needs his assistance to deal with the aftermath for him.

Qi Yunheng was already mentally prepared that what Ouyang said might embarrass him, but in the end he heard Ouyang say something completely beyond his expectations——

"I want Ou Jing to become a monk."

"It's not a real monk, it's just the so-called leading practice, the kind that is ready to return to vulgarity at any time."

"In order for her to go and come back easily, I need to borrow your name and go to become a monk in the name of praying for you."

"But you know, I'm not good at doing this kind of beautiful articles, so I will inevitably trouble you to arrange it."

After hearing Ouyang finish speaking, Qi Yunheng was speechless for a while.

"Double eaves." Qi Yunheng sighed, "It's just a trivial matter, why do you say it so seriously."

"There is a specialization in art. It's a trivial matter for you, but it's a big trouble for me." Ouyang said, "By the way, I haven't discussed this matter with Jing'er, I just talked with Jing'er first. You say hello. If there is no problem on your side, I will call her to discuss it. If she agrees, you can proceed to arrange it. "

"...You dote on her too much." Qi Yunheng twitched the corner of his mouth, "It's for her benefit not to talk about it, even if it's not, you don't need to ask for a junior's opinion."

"Don't you think that the three words you hate the most in the world are 'for your own good'?" Ouyang pouted, "I am not the one who spoke, so how would I know whether I am good or not? Even if such an arrangement is really beneficial , that is also at the price of my being unhappy, and the result is still not good after all!"

"..."

"Besides, at her age, she may not be able to understand the importance of the words 'marrying someone other than a human'. If she hates marrying because of my arrangement, she will feel that I deliberately ruined her marriage and made her unable to marry... "

"Wait!" The more Qi Yunheng listened, the more he felt something was wrong, and finally couldn't help interrupting, "You arranged for her to become a monk so that she wouldn't have to marry? Didn't you want her to get rid of the impact of the incident of falling and hurting Mrs. Qin Guogong?"

"What can this matter affect?" Ouyang was puzzled, and then suddenly realized, "Oh, indeed, she is not very easy to marry in the first place, and after this incident, it is even more difficult to find a 'good' family. So letting her become a monk for the time being is to let her not make do with it, so as not to marry an inhumane person, and then regret it later."

Hearing this, Qi Yunheng finally confirmed that his imperial husband really didn't deliberately use trivial things to enhance his relationship with him, but really felt that this was an important matter, but his imperial husband's definition of important matters was different from ordinary people's. And it's not a small deviation.

"I understand." Qi Yunheng sighed unconsciously, "Go ask, and let me know when you're done."

"Well, I'll go back home tomorrow and call Jing'er." Ouyang nodded.

——Going out of the palace again.

Qi Yunheng gave Ouyang a depressed look, but he didn't object in the end.

Qi Yunheng actually wanted to know how Ouyang made the queen mother lose her life in full view, and whether such a method could be replicated again and again, but he clearly remembered that he once said to Ouyang: Ouyang is not Said, he did not ask.

You have no jokes.

Now that the words have been spoken, he must keep his word.

But other than curiosity, Qi Yunheng didn't have any more worries, let alone that Ouyang would use this method on him.

Ouyang is not the kind of officialdom veteran who talks nonsense when he sees people.

Ouyang has always adhered to the principle that no one offends me and I will not offend others. Under this premise, an eye for an eye and an eye for an eye.

If the Empress Dowager Yun had never provoked Ouyang, and had never used any means to put Ouyang to death, even if Qi Yunheng asked for help, Ouyang might not have responded to the matter, let alone do it on the spot.

In the same way, if he hadn't turned his back first and forced Ouyang intolerable, it would be impossible for Ouyang to hurt him for no reason.

As Ouyang once said: As long as you don't let me down, I will never let you down.

The only thing that worried Qi Yunheng was Ouyang's paranoia.

Qi Yunheng opened Ouyang's body, but he couldn't open his heart. Every time he peeped, he felt foggy.

What can I do to make his imperial husband open his heart and be honest with him?

After thinking about it, Qi Yunheng soon realized——

Don't ask, don't tell, this is really a wrong decision!

Using the double excuse of the Queen Mother's death and his own physical discomfort, Qi Yunheng suspended the morning court for the past few days.

But apart from staying in bed together, Qi Yunheng didn't get more comfort from Ouyang, and after lying down for a long time, the two got up and had dinner under the urging of their stomachs.

After this rather late breakfast, Ouyang went out of the palace and went back to the mansion to see Ou Jing.

Qi Yunheng also didn't want to go back to bed and pretend to be sick - after drinking the pot of water that Ouyang brought him, and having a good night's sleep, he no longer felt sick, and it would be a waste of time to lie back on the bed again. make yourself uncomfortable.

After pondering for a while, Qi Yunheng decided to go to the mourning hall to put on a show.

The empress dowager's funeral will not interfere with the government. Except for the worship on the first day and the farewell on the day of the funeral, civil and military officials do not need to guard her spirit. Even the emperor, a dutiful son, only needs to come to offer incense and worship at regular times. That's it.

Those who really need to suffer hard for the empress dowager's funeral are the concubines in the palace and the imperial court wives.

But for Concubine Gao and Concubine Chen, who already had princes by their side, such hardships and sins were something they were willing to enjoy.

Originally, they were still worrying about the newcomers who were about to enter the palace, worrying about the sons that the empress might conceive, but after the death of the Empress Dowager Yun, His Majesty the Emperor wanted to be a filial son, and extended the time of keeping filial piety to three years like the previous dynasty, so their sons would be happy at once. There are three more years of opportunities in the house, and three more years of peace in the harem.

For this reason, they are willing to guard the mausoleum for three years, not to mention just guarding the mourning hall for a few days.

Compared to the two of them, Concubine Lu who only had a daughter but no son still didn't think too much.

After two months of fear and fear, she has become numb to the matter of her daughter and elder brothers receiving His Majesty's instruction together.

According to the descriptions of the maids she arranged around her daughter, her clever daughter was not valued by His Majesty, and she failed to get any rewards from His Majesty for her academic performance. After all, her performance was not as good as that of the youngest Second Emperor.

In this way, although Concubine Lu would inevitably feel angry about her daughter, she finally felt relieved.

——For a daughter's family, not having the talent to govern the country is not a bad thing, it is best to completely eliminate her ambition!

Because she was thinking about her daughter, although the coffin of the Queen Mother was enshrined in the mourning hall, Concubine Lu unconsciously recited scriptures to pray for her daughter.

Queen Wang, who was kneeling at the front, was in a complicated mood.

On the one hand, she was very happy that there was an evil mother-in-law on her head who liked to look for trouble, so that she could become a veritable master of the harem; on the other hand, she felt that three years was too long, and one year was enough—— It is enough for her to win His Majesty's trust and prepare for having children.

However, it is up to people to plan things, and it is up to God to make things happen. God does not reward face, and the Queen has nothing to do. She can only comfort herself secretly: She originally planned to spend five years to gain the trust of His Majesty the Emperor, but now the progress has far exceeded expectations. It can't be ahead of time, and there is no need to be too sorry.

When Qi Yunheng arrived at the mourning hall, what he saw was mournful yet solemn and orderly.

Seeing that the empress concubine and the orderly wife were doing their duties conscientiously, Qi Yunheng felt a little embarrassed for a while.

But this kind of guilt is only for the concubine and wife, not because of Yun.

When he learned that Yun Shi had chosen a male favorite for him without authorization, Qi Yunheng had already murdered her.

This time, Yun's can ignore his reputation in order to get rid of Ouyang, making him a "good boy" scandal;

It's a pity that Qi Yunheng couldn't make up his mind in the end, and didn't even disturb Yun Shi, only thinking about how to quietly cut off her minions, so that she would no longer have the possibility of disturbing the wind and rain.

But Qi Yunheng still underestimated Yunshi, unexpectedly, unknowingly, she also had ambitions.

Qi Yunheng finally couldn't bear it——

If he endured it any longer, he might even die!

Today, the Yun family only thinks of supporting the young master and ignores his life and death; tomorrow, the Yun family will directly send him to the hell of Yama for greater power!

It's not like the Yun family has never done similar things!

Ten years ago, if it wasn't for Ouyang's care and company, Qi Yunheng must have been forced to commit suicide by the vicious words in the capital!

With his life in danger and the matter involving imperial power, Qi Yunheng's brain became hot and he said something to Ouyang.

In retrospect, Qi Yunheng felt a little regretful.

It's not that he's worried about Ouyang leaking the secret, but that he should do it himself instead of burdening Ouyang.

Fortunately, Xu, the royal husband of his family, was really capable, and he settled the matter for him without anyone noticing, without letting anyone notice that something was wrong, and without leaving any clues that could be traced.

After offering incense and finishing prostration, Qi Yunheng was hesitating whether to cry a few times, so Eunuch Wei came up to him and told him: Zhu Bian, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments, is asking for an audience.

——What's the matter with him?

——Did he really find out something wrong?

Qi Yunheng's heart tightened, and he immediately put the singing and beating aside, left the mourning hall, and turned to the Qiankun Hall.

It is true that Zhu Bian came here for the Empress Dowager, but not because of any findings, but because he suddenly remembered something and wanted to ask Qi Yunheng what happened.

The mask on the Empress Dowager's face.

Because yesterday was too chaotic, although Zhu Bian saw that the queen mother was wearing a mask, but there were too many things worthy of attention, so he didn't think much about it.

After leaving the palace and returning to the mansion, Zhu Bian recalled the events of that day again, and then noticed the mask on the Empress Dowager's face, and the more he thought about it, the more strange he felt.

Even a young girl in her twenties or eight years would not use this kind of thing to cover her face. The Queen Mother and her elders have already reached the age of knowing their destiny, and there is no taboo in this regard.

So, what is the purpose of this mask?

After thinking about it, Zhu Bian couldn't help but come up with a strange conjecture: Was it really the Empress Dowager Yun who fell to his death on the steps?
