"You all go down! I want to accompany the queen mother."
Hongji said to the people who were waiting for the queen mother.
Yunshan went to replace Hongye, so he had time to visit his mother.
“Yes, Your Majesty!”
In a moment, all the servants in the bedroom left, and the last ones to go out were Grandma Sun and Lanzhi.
"You guys stay at the door and don't let anyone disturb you."
"Yes!"
After the bedroom returned to silence, Hongji called out tentatively:
" Mother, I’m here to see you.”
Lianyi then opened her eyes and smiled slightly at Hongji.
Seeing Ripple's smile, the big stone in Hongji's heart finally moved away. He lowered his voice and said:
"Mother, how is your health?"
"Don't worry, my mother's body is fine." It's nothing serious, I just don't want to go to your father's wake, so I don't have to worry about my old bones."
Ripple said casually.
Hongji was a little helpless. He had discovered a long time ago that his mother was different from the concubines in the harem. Although she was not favored, her status was very stable, and everything she did was in line with his father's wishes. , in addition to the support of the mother clan, what is more important is that the queen mother can grasp the father's thoughts.
But just when his mother's family handed over military power, his father's body collapsed. No matter how he thought about it, he felt that there was something fishy in it. He believed that he was not the only one who had suspicions and that several other courtiers also had suspicions, but there was no evidence and nothing could be found. .
At this time, Hongji had ten thousand questions in his mind, but he didn’t know where to start, but Ripple was much more straightforward. She said calmly:
“Dabao, mother has already helped You have paved the road, and the rest is up to you."
"I know, but"
"You want to know if these things are all arranged by your mother. ?”
"Yeah!"
"Since you asked about it today, the queen mother will give you the details so that you can know what happened."
Lianyi then explained what happened. Of course, she didn't tell the whole story that she was a substitute bride. She only talked about the reason why the late emperor granted the marriage, the difficulty of marrying into the imperial city, the strife in the harem, and the dangers of giving birth to the three of them. The fact that he almost died several times.
As for the things that prevented the emperor from having children, she simply admitted:
“Since I gave birth to you, I will not allow anyone to shake your status.
I am also a woman, so I will not exert force on the women in the harem. After all, they have to shoulder the mission of the family when they enter the palace. They cannot help themselves, and the emperor chooses them to enter the palace in order to balance the forces of all parties.
So I will solve this problem from the source. If your father has no fertility, there will be no more children in the harem, and the three of you will be noble. If he does not want the Jiang family to fall by the wayside, Nature will protect you.
I originally thought that when you turned eighteen, your father would make you the crown prince and you would naturally inherit the throne in the future. Unfortunately, your father was not satisfied and wanted to weaken the power of the Meng family. You are holding me back and trying to play with you and Hongye, which I won't allow.
The child I raised is not a tool for him to play with imperial power. If he dares to reach out to the three of you, I will pay for it with his life. "
Hongji felt really shocked after hearing what Lianyi said. He didn't expect that his mother was the real boss behind the scenes. Since she married her father, she was destined not to let the emperor die.
"Mother, you have devoted all your efforts to plan for your son. It is a great blessing for him. I will leave the rest to him."
"Mother believes in your ability. You go ahead and do it. My mother will tell you everything.”
“Yes!”
Hongji said with bright eyes.
"Catch the Dark Dragon Guards in your father's hands as soon as possible. They can protect you. The lieutenants in the suburban camp are the people arranged by your grandfather. If the imperial city is not stable, you can Send people to mobilize troops into the imperial city. This is a token."
Lianyi handed a palm-sized green jade carved into a tiger to Hongji.
"Mother, my son wanted to send people overnight to mobilize troops into the city. Now that the news of your serious illness has spread, some people's thoughts have become vivid again."
Hongji's eyes flashed. , whispered after putting away the token.
"You have to figure it out yourself, just in time to let those monsters and monsters jump out, so that they don't come out to act as monsters when you ascend the throne.
In addition, you have to be careful about one person, your Uncle Sanhuang, he is still alive, this is the time for him to attack," Lianyi reminded.
"My son has written it down."
"Okay, go and sleep for a while, don't drag yourself down for a dead man."
"Yes, mother."
Hongji’s mouth twitched after hearing this, and he responded helplessly.
This dead man was his father. He even doubted whether his three siblings were the descendants of Emperor Qingxiang, but he didn't dare to ask because he was afraid of getting another shocking melon.
At this time, the third prince, who was dormant, received the news that his good eldest brother was dead from the people who stayed in the imperial city. His expression changed again and again, and he decided to give it a try, and immediately summoned people. He wants to rush back to the imperial city.
The Meng family members who had just entered the imperial city immediately changed into mourning clothes when they entered the Anding Marquis' mansion, and were then arranged to enter the palace to mourn.
When Mrs. Meng entered the palace with her second daughter-in-law, she glanced around and did not find her nominal daughter. So while wiping her tears, she asked the wife of the Minister of War next to her:
"How come you haven't seen the Queen?"
"The Queen fainted after the Emperor left. She was carried back to Fengqi Palace. She looked bad!"
The wife of the Minister of War said in a low voice.
After hearing this, Mrs. Meng's lips curled up slightly, and she felt immediately relieved. However, because the occasion was not right, she immediately covered the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief.
At this time, Lianyi was drinking medicine under the care of Grandma Sun. Hearing that Mrs. Meng had arrived, she said to Grandma Sun:
“You arrange for someone to invite Mother Meng to the remote area. Please rest, don’t hurt your body, and talk to her. I don’t need to explain my situation too clearly.”
"Yes, your Majesty!"
Mother Sun also wanted to meet her old master, and she would make arrangements after the arrangement was settled.
When Mrs. Meng saw Grandma Sun, her eyes lit up. Then she was invited to the back of the side hall by the palace maid, and she couldn't wait to ask:
"Is she dying soon?"< br>
This question was a bit direct, and Grandma Sun was stunned for a moment.
A potted crabapple in the side hall suddenly shook, and a crabapple flower fell. It seemed that it was blown by the wind, and then it returned to calm.
"I'm asking you something, why don't you reply?"
Mrs. Meng said displeased.
"Madam, the Queen is ill and is recuperating. Please be careful what you say!"
Mother Sun lowered her eyes and said.
"Hmph! It's just an impostor who took my daughter's name."
"Meow!"
The rest of the words were interrupted by a cat meow.
Xuanfeng squatted next to the pot of crabapple flowers, looking at Mrs. Meng with a pair of cat's eyes somewhat unkindly.
Mother Sun was also shocked. She knew how powerful this black cat was, how spiritual it was, and how ferocious it was, so she couldn't say anything to comfort her.
"Where did the black cat come from? It's so unlucky!"
Mrs. Meng said, covering her mouth with a handkerchief.
"Madam, this is the Queen's mother-in-law's. When the Sun Palace changed, the whirlwind protector was very effective and always stayed with the Queen. This cat is quite spiritual."
