The queen mother is
Chapter 12
The sky outside the Mingguang Hall is bright and clear, with the sun and the breeze accompanied by the singing of cicadas.Inside the hall, it was like falling into an ice cave.King Ning knelt in front of the steps, all the officials were silent, and Wen Yining on the steps had no intention of speaking.
The incident happened suddenly, and King Ning, who had a chance to win, probably never thought that Wen Yining would have a chance to come back.A moment of negligence gave Wen Yining an opportunity to take advantage of.
Tingzhuguan promised not to thoroughly investigate the cause of the emperor's death, which inadvertently made King Ning relax his vigilance.The sudden invitation to come to the palace gave Ning Wangkong the power of the imperial army, and it was too late to dispatch.All the officials were invited to come because they hoped that someone would testify.
King Ning can use the matter of Concubine Shu to block his own mouth, but he can't block the mouths of everyone in the world.
Wen Yining would like to thank Wei Fengguo for being able to change from passive to active, and finally broke the deadlock. Hearing the meaning of Ping An and Ruyi, Wei Fengguo had already given him a lot of things long before Bao Lian came. , It seems to be helping him.
but……
Wen Yining frowned, if Wei Fengguo had helped him early in the morning, why did he send someone to inform King Ning in the bamboo listening hall at that time, so that King Ning broke the conversation between himself and Wen Shuyao.
This Wei Fengguo seems to be interesting.
But now is not the time to think about defending Fengguo, seeing all the officials kneeling profusely in sweat, and King Ning with a dark face, Wen Yining said:
"My lord, you have to give me some advice no matter what. I only have you and King Jin as my prince, and King Jin is far away in the middle of Shu, and you are the regent. There are many doubts about this matter, and you cannot escape the blame."
He never meant to kill them all, but King Ning's disobedience was never dead.
"I……"
Wen Yining saw the broken expression on King Ning's face, as if he was about to struggle for death, but before King Ning could say anything, he heard the call sign of the chief eunuch outside the hall:
"Ms. Concubine Yun is here—"
Wen Yining raised his head and saw Wei Fengguo quickly walking into the palace supporting Concubine Yun.Concubine Yun is the late emperor's concubine after all, so he can only stand up and salute Concubine Yun:
"Meet the concubine."
"No, the Ai family is just a concubine of the late emperor, and cannot afford the great gift of the Queen of the Palace."
Concubine Yun lost her temper for some reason, and after choking Wen Yining, she hurried to King Ning's side, helped King Ning up, and patted King Ning's body with pain from kneeling for a long time. dust:
"You child, why are you still acting so recklessly! It really makes the Ai family feel uneasy for a moment."
"Toffee...?"
Wen Yining stood behind them, carefully watching the interaction between Concubine Yun and King Ning. It seemed that King Ning really didn't expect that Concubine Tai would appear, and he was surprised.
The concubine snorted reproachfully, then walked to the side and picked up the will that was left on the ground and held it in her hand:
"This will has nothing to do with this child."
"Why did the concubine make such a statement?"
Even if the other party is an elder, they can't be so indiscriminate between right and wrong and turn black and white.
"Hmph, he is loyal to his imperial brother and you, the male empress. How could he have the intention to usurp the throne? If there is, it must be from the Ai family. Since the empress wants to investigate, why don't you come to investigate the Ai family?"
Concubine Yun's words were not pleasant, but she made it clear that she was playing a hooligan and wanted to protect King Ning. Wen Yining looked at her with a frown:
"Does the concubine understand what she is talking about?"
Forging a will and attempting to usurp the throne is a felony that can never be exaggerated to exterminate nine clans. Concubine Yun is now too old, and she has nothing to contend with in the harem. She can at best be regarded as a frivolous concubine who likes luxury and beautiful men, harmless. Will be able to be prosperous for the rest of my life.
Wen Yining didn't understand why this woman would stand up and protect King Ning like this.
"Of course the Ai family understands! The Ai family didn't want to live long after the late emperor died."
After hearing this, Wen Yining knew that it was useless to say anything now, so he could only sigh and let the officials who watched the excitement go home first and wait for the news. The affairs in the palace always involved the face of the royal family, so he could not ignore it.
After all the officials were gone, Wen Yining ordered:
"Eunuch Wei, as well as Ruyi, please take the concubine back to the bedroom for me first, and I will go there later."
"Prince Ning, no matter whether you have anything to do with this matter or not, all of this is caused by you. Before the matter comes to light, please stay in Yongning Palace temporarily - the ancestors of the Gu family lived there in the early years, and it is there in the East Twelve Palaces The scenery is the best, and it must not disappoint the noble status of the prince."
"Ping An, take the prince there for me, and help me take good care of the prince."
After arranging the stay of all the people in the hall, Wen Yining packed up the edict on the ground, and stood quietly for a while alone in the Mingguang Hall as the sun was setting.
The sunset in the imperial city is different in four seasons, and the sunset in summer always dyes the entire capital in deep red.The sky full of yellow clouds, reflecting the crimson sun, and the glazed tiles and crimson palace walls of Hegong Palace complement each other perfectly.
Wen Yining breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the sunset, but this time, it didn't affect the old ailments of the past.
Concubine Yun lives in Ningyun Palace near Fallen Star Terrace, which is the closest to Shangyuan Hall. Perhaps the first emperor wanted Concubine Yun to calm her mind.Coming out of Mingguang Palace, passing through Ruochen Palace and going east is the residence of Concubine Yun. From a distance, I saw Ruyi standing at the gate of the palace anxiously looking around. When she saw him coming, Ruyi waved her hand happily:
"Master! Here——"
This child was always so easy to understand, with joy, anger, sorrow and joy on his face, Wen Yining nodded with a smile, but behind Ruyi saw Wei Fengguo in a blue python robe.
Today he didn't wear a three mountain cap, but tied his hair in a bun.This made Wen Yining feel a little fresh, so he couldn't help but take a second look.
If Wen Yining stared at him like this if the other eunuchs were changed, he would definitely feel embarrassed.
However, Wei Fengguo looked calm, and even raised his eyebrows and smiled at Wen Yining.Wei Fengguo smiled, Wen Yining turned his eyes away first, with a bit of annoyance of self-disgust, Wen Yining only bowed his head, and quickened his pace to the door of Ningyun Palace.
"Madam Wanan."
However, Wei Fengguo smiled maliciously and saluted him even more exaggeratedly.Wen Yining frowned, thinking that this person was really trying to tease him, so he deliberately put on a serious face and said:
"Why is Eunuch Wei so free to sit in the Grand Concubine's Palace today?"
He also brought the concubine to Mingguang Hall to make trouble, what is he planning in his mind.
"Didn't you know the relationship between our family and the concubine?" Wei Fengguo leaned into Wen Yining's ear, deliberately lowered his voice and said with a smirk, "If you forget, our family doesn't mind." Choose a good time tonight, and let your mother take a closer look—"
Glancing at Wei Fengguo in dissatisfaction, Wen Yining coughed lightly on purpose, and walked the surprised Ruyi to the main hall of Ningyun Palace without looking back: at this time, if you are serious with Wei Fengguo, you will lose.
But even if he deliberately ignored him, Wei Fengguo's scorching gaze followed him all the way until he entered the main hall of Ningyun Palace.
Because there is no friendship on weekdays, when we met today, Wen Yining felt strange—why there is no one around to serve such a dignified concubine.The decoration in the main hall of Ningyun Palace is also extremely simple, at first glance, there is not even a single valuable thing.
"The queen seems surprised?"
Concubine Yun sat at the table, poured herself a glass of wine, and casually invited Wen Yining to sit down:
"Alcohol can intoxicate people, but you Wen Yining, the empress and master of the Wen Jing Dynasty, should be the most sober person in the world. So even though drinking alone hurts others, it is inconvenient for the Ai family to invite you to drink together."
There are too many things I want to ask, but I don't know how to speak when the words are on my lips.So Wen Yining chose to listen, and when he was drunk, he naturally needed someone to relieve him.Since Concubine Yun invited him to sit down, it seemed that she wanted to say something.
"Today's matter, although there are many doubts, even if you have thousands and thousands of reluctance, but Queen, Aijia only tells you one thing, you can't kill King Ning."
This Wen Yining recognized that King Ning has the right to deploy troops, and he has party members inside and out, so now is not the best time to get rid of King Ning.Moreover, after the emperor passed away, Wen Yining was only a queen, and it was not so easy to get rid of a prince.
However, it is not easy now, but it does not mean that he will let King Ning go easily.
Seeing Wen Yining's acquiescence, Concubine Yun seemed to be relieved, but she burst out with a confused look, "Actually, that child is also very pitiful."
"I don't understand why the concubine wants to protect King Ning so much?"
King Ning is the youngest son of Empress Zhang Xian. Empress Zhang Xian has never been very popular in the harem. How could Concubine Yun be willing to sacrifice her life to save that woman's child.
"Naturally—to avenge her!" Concubine Yun smiled meaningfully, "It was the members of the Ling family who suffered her all her life. The Ai family has endured it until now, and even helped that poisonous woman, Empress Zhang Xian, to hide it. Just to avenge her."
"she?"
Wen Yining had never discovered that the concubine had such a great hatred, let alone that there was such a woman in the harem of the previous dynasty who was on good terms with the concubine and had inextricable ties with Queen Zhang Xian and King Ning. connect.
Just when Wen Yining was racking his brains to sort out the relationship between the former dynasty, Concubine Yun suddenly put down the wine glass in her hand, grabbed Wen Yining's hand and said:
"The Ai family has endured so far, all for revenge. But what about you, Wen Yining, who are you guarding the world for nothing?"
"The concubine is drunk, I'd better come to visit the concubine another day."
Not wanting to answer the sharp question of Concubine Yun, Wen Yining got up and was about to leave, but Concubine Yun also stood up behind her, raised her head and laughed "haha", picked up the jug on the table and poured it into the pot. Drunk the wine:
"Ling Yushu, that bastard's character, was taught by the same master as Aijia. It is very easy for Aijia to imitate. The edict was secretly written by Aijia, and Aijia knew how to cut seals since he was a child. Whatever the Ai family sees, the Ai family can imitate. It's just that I never expected that you will finally see the flaw!"
Wen Yining turned around in surprise, he never thought that Concubine Yun would simply admit——
But as soon as he turned his head, Wen Yining's expression changed drastically, "Ruyi, hurry, go to Xuan imperial physician!"
"No need to go..." Concubine Yun smiled, dropped the wine pot in her hand and said, "Daughter's tears, wine can cure a thousand days of drunkenness."
daughter tears?
Wen Yining rushed over, but only had time to snatch the empty wine jug from Concubine Yun's hand, but could only helplessly watch Concubine Yun calm down with a happy smile.
In the end,
Concubine Yun closed her eyes with a strange smile, "Queen, the destiny has changed, even if Ai's family dies - there are still successors, the life and death of this dynasty, Ai's family is down, I have to watch it on Huangquan Road, you, How long can you protect it?"
The incident happened suddenly, and King Ning, who had a chance to win, probably never thought that Wen Yining would have a chance to come back.A moment of negligence gave Wen Yining an opportunity to take advantage of.
Tingzhuguan promised not to thoroughly investigate the cause of the emperor's death, which inadvertently made King Ning relax his vigilance.The sudden invitation to come to the palace gave Ning Wangkong the power of the imperial army, and it was too late to dispatch.All the officials were invited to come because they hoped that someone would testify.
