Chapter 287 Let’s talk
"Sister Nian, although the emperor has sent back a message, we still need to make preparations in the Yangxin Palace."
The emperor is a petty person and doesn't even spare himself.
Sometimes you can't take what he says seriously.
"I heard that the two people in Jingren Palace and Shoukang Palace have been making trouble. I'm afraid that the emperor won't be able to be happy again in the short term after returning to the palace this time."
I can't reach into Shoukang Palace, but I can send a few pots of flowers and plants into Jingren Palace.
The deposed queen has been talking about the eldest prince every day recently and is thinking about having a child again.
After An Lingrong sent people to observe, she found that although the deposed queen was not mentally normal most of the time, she also had moments of clarity.
After learning that she had moved to Yongshou Palace, a lot of porcelain was broken in Jingren Palace.
The deposed queen now harbored great ill will towards the concubines with children, and even sent people to secretly observe outside the Yongshou Palace and the Yiku Palace.
An Lingrong took the opportunity to inform Concubine Hua about this matter, and she would report it to the emperor later.
"Sister Nian, the deposed queen cannot leave Jingren Palace, but Jianqiu can go out from time to time. Please make sure to take good care of Princess Anle."
No one can feel at ease as long as the deposed queen is not dead.
The guards sent by the emperor to guard Jingren Palace were both a surveillance of her and a form of protection for her.
Many children have died in the royal palace and the imperial palace over the years. How could the emperor not have any thoughts in his mind?
Unless it is revealed that Queen Chunyuan's death is related to the deposed queen, the emperor will continue to keep the vicious and cruel concubine in the palace.
The amount of medicine in the flower and herb room was not enough, so An Lingrong decided to send some more in.
Go crazy, it’s better to be crazy and shout out everything you do.
Originally, An Lingrong wanted the deposed queen to live on.
But who made her restless even after being under house arrest, and even wanted to take advantage of the children?
The emperor can no longer make a woman pregnant. Hongzhan and the other two are An Lingrong's fate.
She would never allow her children to come to any harm.
If you want to deal with the deposed queen, you must first get rid of her left and right arms.
Jiang Fuhai, who knew the current situation, got in touch with Concubine Lan. After An Lingrong revealed the news to Jianqiu, Jiang Fuhai never stepped out of Jingren Palace again.
Now the entire Jingren Palace is managed by Jianqiu alone. As long as something goes wrong with her, the deposed queen will not be a problem.
At the end of the Shen period, the emperor entered the palace through the Meridian Gate.
Before the emperor had time to drink a sip of tea, a guard came to report.
"Your Majesty, Aunt Zhuxi of Shoukang Palace has sent word that the Empress Dowager wishes to see you."
The emperor asked with a gloomy face.
"During the time I was away from the palace, has there been anything unusual in Shoukang Palace?"
"Your Majesty, Concubine Lan once sent supplements to Shoukang Palace, and... and..."
The guard hesitated, not knowing whether he should say it or not.
The irritated emperor shot his sharp eyes at the guards kneeling on the ground.
"What else? Don't hesitate like a woman."
"Your Majesty, in winter, birds without food will wander outside. However, according to our observations, there are an unusually large number of birds flying to Shoukang Palace, both during the day and at night."
The guard made up his mind and expressed his guess.
"I suspect there may be carrier pigeons mixed in."
"I understand, please leave."
The emperor waved his hand to drive them away.
Not long after, he waved towards the curtain behind him.
"Xia Qie, have the group of people who ambushed outside Qingliang Terrace confessed?"
When the emperor decided to go to Qingliangtai, he sent Xia Qie to protect him secretly. It was he and his secret guards who discovered the group of armed criminals.
"Your Majesty, those men were well-trained and committed suicide upon being captured. However, I have traced clues that show they are related to the Tonggiya clan."
"It's just that due to Empress Xiaoyiren's favor, I didn't investigate further."
Xia Qie had helped the emperor deal with many private matters and knew that even the Empress Dowager of Shoukang Palace could not compare to Empress Xiaoyi Ren in his heart.
This matter involved the Tonggiya clan, so Xia Qie did not dare to act on his own.
"Xia Qie, continue to send people to monitor the imperial mausoleum."
The emperor gave orders as he walked out.
He will handle the Tonggiya issue himself, and it is time to meet the Queen Mother.
When the emperor arrived outside Shoukang Palace, he sent someone to report first.
Sun Zhuxi personally brought people to the main hall. The empress dowager, who usually wore plain clothes, rarely wore her court dress.
The silver hair exposed under her crown reminded her of her age all the time.
The emperor greeted her loudly as she stared at him expressionlessly.
"Your Highness, I pay my respects to the Empress Dowager. May you be blessed with good health and happiness."
"The Emperor is so busy with all sorts of affairs that he finally remembered this old woman, Ai Jia."
The emperor ignored the sarcastic tone coming from above and found a chair to sit down.
"Your Majesty, you are wrong. I have you in my heart all the time. Whether it was the former Yonghe Palace or the current Shoukang Palace, I almost broke the threshold."
The Queen Mother knew that the Emperor still resented her previous neglect, so she let out a sigh of relief.
"The Emperor keeps saying that he cares about me, so why did he arrange for a concubine to live in Yonghe Palace?"
"Noble Consort Shu was chosen by the Empress Dowager and brought into the palace. I thought you wanted her to live in Yonghe Palace. Now it seems that I was mistaken."
The emperor put aside the goat milk tea offered by Sun Zhuxi.
"Your Majesty, I see that you are in good spirits. I believe Canglan's medical skills are amazing."
"If your palace is short of any supplements, please tell your son."
After today, the mother and son may no longer be able to maintain their face, and the emperor is not willing to play around with the empress dowager.
"The Queen Mother urgently summoned me, your son. Is there anything you want me to do?"
The Queen Mother clenched her fists slightly and spoke in a gentle voice.
"I heard that something bad happened to your uncle?"
"The Empress Dowager is indeed well-informed. I admire you."
"But Longkodo's actions are truly chilling. His adopted son has even reported them to me. Even though I am the emperor, I cannot show favoritism."
The emperor told the empress dowager about the news that was widely circulated in the capital.
The Queen Mother did not react much to the news, but instead blamed herself bitterly.
"Your Majesty, he is still your uncle after all. Why let him go with a stigma?"
"Empress Dowager, there's something I don't understand. You deeply resent Tong E'niang for taking me away from me, but why are you speaking for her own brother?"
The emperor stared at the empress dowager with puzzled eyes, stubbornly wanting to get an answer.
The Queen Mother felt uncomfortable being stared at by her son, so she picked up the milk tea beside her and took a sip.
"Longkodo was the minister entrusted to you by the late emperor, and he made tremendous contributions to your ascension to the throne. How could you allow such a loyal minister to be buried with a stigma?"
"Empress Dowager, Longkodo has disregarded human ethics and forcibly seized his adopted son's wife. I beg you to teach me how to clear the name of such a shameless man."
The emperor did not give the empress dowager a chance to speak, his dark eyes staring straight at her.
"Do you want me to follow the example of Emperor Taizu and appoint him as the regent of the emperor's father?"
The Queen Mother was so shocked that she tilted her body and pointed at him with a shaking finger.
"Your Majesty, you..."
"Queen Mother, have you ever dreamed of the Emperor in your dreams at midnight?"
There was a hint of sadness in the emperor's words.
"The Emperor has treated you well, don't you feel guilty?"
The emperor spoke out the things that had been buried in his heart for many years, and instantly felt a lot more relaxed.
