Chapter 351 The truth (1)

The Queen Mother entered Ninggu Pagoda and set off immediately. Emperor Xuan personally saw her off.

This was the last conversation between mother and son.

"Mother, I have never been able to figure out one thing over the years. I am also your flesh and blood, but mother has never wanted to look at me. Even if you put me on the throne, you still don't have my son in your heart. No matter what your son does,

No matter how good it is, I will never get the affirmation and approval of my mother, and I am acting like a loving mother in front of everyone. Today I still want to ask my mother in person why you treat me so differently when my brother and I are the sons of the same mother."

This is probably the knot that Emperor Xuan has been unable to untie for many years, and until now, he still can't let it go.

Empress Dowager Wen was dressed in plain clothes, without her gold hairpins and jade ornaments, and her splendor was gone. But after all, she had been supported and served in a pampered manner all these years. Even under such circumstances, she still looked a little different from the old lady next to her.

Empress Dowager Wen did not rush to answer Emperor Xuan's words, but turned her head and glanced at the palace door, "I will never come back after leaving this time. For the sake of the Ai family giving birth to you and protecting you on the throne, I will keep you alive."

Ming, Chongjin is a remote place, without Aijia, he is no threat to you, just leave him alive."

Emperor Xuan looked at the sudden smile in the distance, and felt a little desolate in his heart. Only he knew that as an emperor, he could not express his emotions or anger.

"Mother, if Yixi hadn't been a little younger and separated by a generation, the throne would never have been mine. You supported me on the throne as a last resort, to pave the way for Yixi. This throne is in your heart.

, it has always belonged to Yi Xi."

"But you are smarter and more cautious than the Ai family thinks. If your royal brother had not committed a crime and the family was punished and moved to Chongjin..." Queen Mother Wen turned around, finally feeling a little excited.

"The head of the Jin family left first. He said he would wait for you to come back before looking for you."

"Master, I'm afraid that the old lady will not dare to hold birthday banquets in the future."

Mrs. Mei stood up, feeling a little like waking up from a dream. She looked at the soldiers and horses getting further and further outside the city, and waved her hand to her son, "Go back."

"Your Majesty, the Tianlao people just came to report that Feng... committed suicide out of fear of crime."

"It's nothing. What can make Master Feng confess his guilt so readily?"

"I understand, senior brother, does my mother's revenge count as revenge?"

"It's true that he can't escape, but he may not testify against the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother has never personally contacted those people for all matters. The Queen Mother's arrangements in court are all under the direct control of Feng Taishi. As long as he does not testify against the Queen Mother, there is still no ironclad evidence to capture the Queen Mother.

Although the Holy One had many ways to make the Queen Mother die of illness or accident in the harem, he was unable to convict her of her crime and bring her to justice. This is probably the reason why the Holy One did not take action until today. That’s all, don’t ask.

, Shi Jiu doesn’t say anything, he has his own reasons.”

Mei Shijiu accompanied Chu Xue as she walked around the small courtyard of Songtang. She originally had a lot to say, but at this time she didn't know where to start.

The eldest lady couldn't bear this sudden surprise.

"nothing."

The crime that Master Feng committed was a serious crime that was punishable by execution. When they heard that he committed suicide in fear of the crime, everyone was not surprised, but they were just a little bit booed. How could he be one of the three princes and the number one figure in Dayuan? He was just gone.

.

Old Taijun and others consciously made space for Mei Shijiu and Chu Xue to talk. Yun Yingling had already woken up. Although the wound on the hairpin was not big or deep, it was poisoned after all, so she had to lie down and rest for a while.

After the car curtain was lowered, Mrs. Mei couldn't wait to ask her son. She was extremely anxious.

It's not that he doesn't say it, it's that he can't.

Mrs. Mei pursed her lips and looked at her son, who finally endured it.

The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. She failed to defeat her son and is willing to admit defeat.

Queen Mother Wen looked at Emperor Xuan's back with slightly wet eyes, and then walked resolutely towards Jiaozi. This was the last dignity Emperor Xuan left for her.

After working for nearly half an hour before sending everyone away, Mrs. Mei's shoulders slumped and she quickly ordered the door to be closed to thank guests.

Chu Xue only glanced at the high-quality medicinal materials and jewelry that the palace rewarded without touching them.

"Shijiu, what exactly are you burning?"

This is a huge secret, a royal scandal. If one more person knows about it, the danger will increase.

Emperor Xuan turned sideways and took a deep look at Empress Dowager Wen, then turned around without looking back. As he left, he said softly: "Since it is what you asked for, I will spare his life. I am not afraid that he will fight for my country. I am afraid that he does not have it."

Otherwise, you have been strategizing for him all these years, and he would have succeeded long ago. By keeping him alive, I am repaying your kindness in life. From now on, I will never have a mother or queen!"

Jiang Jing's words did not stop Emperor Xuan, as if they were of no importance.

Chuxue stopped and looked up at the sky and whispered softly.

Emperor Xuan sent the Empress Dowager off, and the ministers followed him tremblingly. No one dared to say a word at this time. The person escorting the Empress Dowager was none other than Wei Xi from the city defense camp. Five thousand soldiers and horses were escorting one person, which was quite spectacular.

Finally able to go home, the female relatives who were trapped in the Mei family were a little unable to hold back and wiped away tears when they saw their master. The main reason was that they were frightened. They did not dare to say anything more at the door of Mei's house. Mr. Mei and Mrs. Mei were both husband and wife.

Seeing off guests at the door, I was really in shock today.

"Dad, it's really nothing. Even if we don't have that thing, Your Majesty has already prepared it. Master Feng won't be able to escape today."

"My dear friends, you are all tired today. Please go back to your homes. Other matters will be discussed in court tomorrow morning. Mr. Mei, dear dear me, if you have detained the female relatives in your mansion, let them go their separate ways. Those involved will be sent away by the imperial guards.

Go back to the palace and wait for the Ministry of Punishment to find out everything one by one before making a final decision. Return to the palace!"

When Emperor Xuan gave the order, some people were relieved, while others were still worried.

The last vowel sound is somewhat ironic.

"Best regards, Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty!"

"Dad, my son really can't talk about this matter."

Just as the porter was about to enter the palace, another person came from the palace. Fortunately, it was just the palace people who came to deliver medicine and rewards, all for Chu Xue and her aunt.

After sending away the palace servants who came to offer rewards, the Mei family was quiet for a while.

The old lady gave her grandson a thoughtful look, then patted her son's arm and asked him to ask.

There were also family members who were taken away directly by the Imperial Guards. Every one of them was so frightened that they cried and cried. It was very lively.

Master Mei helped the old lady get on the carriage, and Mei Shijiu also followed. The three generations of grandparents drove back to the house. Other officials either went back to the house or followed the Mei family's carriage to pick up people. No one had time to stay.

They exchanged pleasantries without even saying hello, and some of the courtiers' legs and feet felt weak.

Mei Shijiu stopped and nodded slightly, "When did you know about it?"

Chuxue looked back, lowered her head and smiled and continued walking, "Actually... I guessed it. Of course, I knew some clues in advance and asked my second uncle to check it later. But I didn't expect that I guessed it. It was delivered in time.

, Senior brother, even the Holy One doesn’t know this secret. If you hand it over to the Holy One, are you really not afraid that the Holy One will be suspicious of the Mei family?”

"I didn't give it to the Holy One, I just showed it to Mrs. Feng."

Since the Holy One wants to be jealous, let him not figure it out. His way of serving as an official is to be loyal to the people and the country, but not necessarily loyal to the emperor.
