Chapter 191 Cining Palace is discussing matters, and the emperor does not want to see you

Ji Qingwu asked: "What happened to dad?"

Many speculations emerged in her mind.

Qiao and Ji's father have lived apart for many years. Could it be that there is some relationship problem?

She was on the street the day before yesterday and heard others talking about the head of the Xie family in Wushui Lane. He had been working as an official for several years. He came back a while ago and brought back an outer room with his two children. , which immediately made the wife of the wife angry.

Ji Qingwu looked at Qiao's face carefully.

He said cautiously: "Is dad coming back?"

"Coming back? Will you make me angry when you come back?"

When Qiao mentioned Father Ji, she got headaches Confused.

Ji Qingwu walked up behind her and massaged the Fengchi point on her neck and behind her ears.

"Mom, don't be anxious. What should you do if you get sick again?"

The pressing force of her warm fingertips is just right, and she has a more accurate grasp of the acupuncture points, which is better than Chunhua's massage. Even more comfortable.

Mr. Qiao patted her arm and said, "Your father has offended someone again."

Again? Ji Qingwu was keenly aware that his father often seemed to do sinful things.

Qiao continued: "The officials who are released from the outside world are as high as the emperor. Not only can they line their own pockets, but at least they have good food and drink. Especially if he is responsible for the transportation of salt. Bad.”

"But not only are his sleeves clean, his sleeves are almost leaking! He is also meddling in other people's business. It's better now. He offended a high official and was directly detained."

Ji Qingwu paused his fingers slightly and said in surprise. : " Who did my father offend? "

Although Giblian's official position is not a very popular minister, he is still a third-rank official. In the salt-producing south, he holds the important position of salt transport envoy. Salt is as important as food. The foundation of people's livelihood.

Furthermore, Ji Bolian is the elder brother of the Queen Mother, who is so bold as to detain the royal family.

When Ji Qingwu saw Qiao's troubled look, he knew that there must be a big shot behind the scenes.

Just as Mr. Qiao was about to speak, Nanny Li came in from outside and said in an impatient tone: "Madam, Madam, please go with her to Cining Palace."

Ji Qingwu held her hand in return. She said firmly: "Mother, I will accompany you there."

On the carriage, Mrs. Ji saw Ji Qingwu coming up, her eyes filled with displeasure.

She already knew what the DPRK said about the celestial phenomenon today.

Because of Ying Huo Shouxin, no one dared to propose to Ji Qingwu again. Not only did the Li family's marriage fall through, this time, Ji Qingyuan's marriage was also hindered.

Mrs. Ji closed her eyes, as if she was upset when she saw her.

Ji Qingwu didn't know where he had offended the old lady again. He shrugged and sat obediently next to Mr. Qiao, far away from Mrs. Ji.

Arrived at Cining Palace.

Aunt Fanghua was waiting for them at the palace gate.

She said steadily: "Old Madam, First Madam, Fifth Young Lady, and the Queen Mother are waiting in the main hall. Please come with me."

After entering the palace gate, no matter how anxious you are, you must not forget the rules. A few people give them first The Queen Mother greets you.

The Queen Mother saw Ji Qingwu and followed her, with a complicated look on her face. She had obviously heard about the recent turmoil in the DPRK.

I don’t understand how such a weak-looking girl can cause big troubles from time to time, from the harem to the front court.

But she didn't say anything, because right now, what was more important was Giblian's matter.

The Queen Mother put her hand on the armrest of the throne, looked at everyone and said, "You should already know why the Ai family summoned you."

Mrs. Ji and Mrs. Qiao looked solemn. Nod.

The Queen Mother continued: "Brother, he holds an important position abroad and has made no mistakes for so many years. However, Cao Hongtao, the governor of Liangjiang, actually took people into custody. He was really bold." Mrs. Qiao said: "Report to the empress, Cao Hongtao is here Since there is not even a serious charge for arrest, there must be something fishy about it. Maybe he has touched the interests of some officials, which is why he suffered this misfortune."


< br>The Queen Mother also had this thought.

Mrs. Ji had a sad face: "I often tell Bolian to be more diplomatic in officialdom and not to be so serious. It is easy to break the rules, but his nature is hard to change and he just doesn't listen to advice."

A sharp look flashed in the Queen Mother's eyes: "The Ai family feels that this You can’t blame Big Brother entirely, there must be someone behind it.”

Ji Qingwu, who was sitting at the back, lowered his head and looked at his nose, and his nose was smelling the spices in the Queen Mother’s palace, and every time. Everything you smell is different. The fragrance is sweet and has an endless aftertaste.

The Queen Mother glanced across Ji Qingwu and saw her lowering her head and saying nothing.

Qingwu said, "Tell me, what do you think about this matter?"

Being called out unexpectedly, Mrs. Ji and Mrs. Qiao both looked at her.

Ji Qingwu raised his eyes and looked back at the Queen Mother, and said magnanimously: "Your Majesty, I don't know what kind of character my father is, but my father has been serving as the Salt Transport Envoy for so many years and has never been promoted or demoted. Do you know why? "

The Queen Mother had never thought of going so deep and looked at Ji Qingwu in surprise.

The rank of Salt Transport Envoy is personally appointed by the Prime Minister, but this official position is special. Whether it is removal or promotion, it must be approved by the emperor.

Gibren has been in this position for so long and has never made any mistakes. Although his personality is a bit radical, he is deeply trusted by the emperor in his job.

If you can't pry him into becoming an accomplice, you can only poach him away from the roots.

The Queen Mother pondered for a moment: "You mean, someone wants the position of Salt Transport Envoy and is jealous and impatient, so they take action in such a hurry."

Ji Qingwu replied : "Otherwise, they have no reason to attack my father. "

She said calmly: "I still can't figure out why they are so anxious and want to detain my father before there is any conclusive evidence."

The Queen Mother nodded. The analysis is very reasonable.

Infected by her calm mood, the atmosphere in the palace relaxed a lot.

At this time, Shi Xi hurriedly came in from outside the palace and whispered a few words beside the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother squeezed out the Sichuan pattern between her eyebrows and confirmed: "Really found evidence?!"

Shi Xi said: "Yes, Queen Mother, the informant has just sent the news quickly , saying that Mr. Ji has been sent to prison. "

Everyone thought that he would be detained temporarily and would be released the next day without evidence, but now he is actually detained in prison.

Moreover, Ji Bolian was not in Lin'an, so they had no way of knowing the news immediately.

Qiao looked calm on her face, her mouth tightened.

Ji Qingwu held her hand, but felt that her mother's palms were wet with sweat. Her mother must be worried and panicked.

Mrs. Ji's eyes turned black, and it took her a long time to recover.

Wailed: "Bolian must not let anything happen again! Madam, you must find a way to save your elder brother!"

The Queen Mother didn't want to save her, but she was too far away and her hand couldn't reach Huainan.

She made a decision and stood up: "The Ai family is going to find the emperor."

Mrs. Ji and Mrs. Qiao both stood up: "We will go with the empress."< br>
Ji Qingwu also stood up.

The Queen Mother frowned and looked at her: "Qingwu, please don't follow me. The Emperor will definitely not want to see you."

Ji Qingwu (scratching his head): Don’t you want to see me? Are you sure?
