The Grand Secretary’s Pampered Wife

Chapter 372 Queen Mother (Part 1)

"Your Majesty..." Eunuch Wei wanted to say that Concubine Jing did not push him, but before he could open his mouth, the emperor said coldly, "Shut up!"

Eunuch Wei shut up.

The emperor looked at the injured Concubine Jing, and for some reason, he lost the pity he had before, and was replaced by a trace of resistance and suspicion.

I do not have.

Concubine Jing didn't say this.

Because she knows the efficacy of this medicine better than anyone else.

"The concubine is not." The little nun argued, "It's Eunuch Wei who didn't stand firm."

The emperor said coldly: "Why didn't he stand firm when he was so good?"

Eunuch Wei: Uh... It's true that I didn't stand firm!

Concubine Jing took one last look at the emperor, squeezed the handkerchief tightly, turned and left!

"Empress Dowager! Empress Dowager!" The little nun followed helplessly. She kept looking back until she stepped out of the threshold, hoping that the emperor would keep Dowager Jing, but the emperor did not.

The emperor looked at the back of Concubine Jing going away, his expression was in a daze for a moment, but only for a moment, and he went to the study with a serious face.

Eunuch Wei was completely at a loss. He retreated from the servants and said to Gu Jiao: "Miss Gu, have you seen it? Is there something wrong with your majesty? He was not like this before. Did he quarrel with the empress dowager?" Is it? Or is it stimulated by something?"

Gu Jiao didn't answer his words, but asked: "Did Concubine Jing really not push you just now?"

Eunuch Wei said: "No! Your Majesty made a mistake! I really fell it myself, and it has nothing to do with the concubine! It's really strange to say..."

"Since when did your Majesty become like this?"

"Miss Gu means..."

"It's just that I'm suddenly indifferent to the empress dowager."

Ah, Eunuch Wei suddenly realized that he had been looking for a word to describe His Majesty, but after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't figure it out, it turned out to be indifference.

He said: "It didn't take long. Yesterday, His Majesty arrested Nanny Cai in anger and questioned her. At night, Hui An, who was next to the Concubine, came to report. Go to visit the empress dowager. Your majesty was too tired, and fell asleep in the middle of the meal, and woke up like this!"

Oh, it seems that someone has touched the medicine in the black bottle.

The godfather is really right, there are people who like to be smart but are mistaken by cleverness.

Eunuch Wei looked at the corners of Gu Jiao's raised lips, and for some reason, his scalp went numb: "Miss Gu, what are you laughing at?"

Gu Jiao blinked: "It's nothing,

It's fine, Your Majesty is fine, you don't have to worry. "

Eunuch Wei was dubious: "Is there really no need to worry?"

Gu Jiao waved her hand: "No, no, Your Majesty is very well, I have nothing to do, I'll go to my aunt first!"

"Ah, I'll send Miss Gu off." Eunuch Wei sent him out of Huaqing Palace.

Gu Jiao went to Renshou Palace, Empress Dowager Zhuang had just come down to court, and she was reading books in the study.

Her notebooks are different from the emperor's notebooks. What she reads are the first-hand notebooks of the six parts. Only those she agrees to submit will be sent to the emperor by the ministers. Therefore, what the emperor reviews every day is actually second-hand notebooks...

Sad emperor.

Gu Jiao didn't disturb her aunt, she went to the side hall to find Eunuch Qin.

Eunuch Qin took his little bastard to bask in the sun on the grass, seeing Gu Jiao approaching, his first reaction was to protect his little bastard!

Gu Jiao: "..."

"Ahem!" Yue Mo realized that he had overreacted, so Eunuch Qin coughed twice, put the little bastard into the pool without a trace, and said to Gu Jiao, "Miss Gu is here? The sun is getting brighter, go Shall I sit in the booth for a while?"

He never admitted that he was worried that Miss Gu would smash his little bastard again.

Although Miss Gu didn't do it on purpose, but Xiao Wangba was scared, and he felt it deeply.

"Alright." Gu Jiao didn't refuse.

The two went to the pavilion, and Eunuch Qin came over with tea and snacks.

Gu Jiao said: "Eunuch Qin, the Empress Dowager and Your Majesty had a quarrel before the death of the late Emperor. It was not until the death of the late Emperor, His Majesty's accession to the throne, and the Empress Dowager's refusal to delegate power that the two finally broke up."

Eunuch Qin nodded: "Yes, that's right."

It seems that the medicine was taken before His Majesty ascended the throne, but the effect of this medicine is not achieved overnight, it has a fermentation process, until the great-aunt listened to the government behind the curtain and touched His Majesty's final bottom line, the two people are completely gone Turn back.

If this is the case, His Majesty's dislike for Concubine Jing also needs to be gradually deepened through repeated "misunderstandings".

"Well, I thought His Majesty would be able to bring the Dragon Shadow Guard back immediately." Gu Jiao murmured.

"What did Miss Gu say?" Eunuch Qin didn't hear clearly.

"Oh, it's nothing." Don't worry, I've bullied my aunt for so long, so I'd like to ask her to charge some interest first, Gu Jiao said without changing her expression, "I mean...hasn't my aunt ever suspected that someone drugged His Majesty?" Gu Jiao Jiao asked.

Eunuch Qin sighed: "Oh, at that time, the late emperor was seriously ill, and the Liu family and the court were in chaos. Who would have thought of this? Everyone thought that the two had a dispute because of the late emperor's illness."

Gu Jiao paused: "What is there to argue about the illness?"

Qin Gonggong said: "The first emperor was suffering from a head disease. Zhao's imperial physicians and doctors were at a loss. The imperial court invited a doctor from Yan's country. The doctor said that to cure this disease, a craniotomy is needed."

Gu Jiao rubbed her chin: "Auntie advocates craniotomy, does Your Majesty disagree?"

With my aunt's temperament, she should try boldly, but His Majesty is more conservative.

Unexpectedly, Eunuch Qin shook his head: "No, Miss Gu guessed wrong, it was His Majesty who advocated the craniotomy, but the Queen Mother disagreed."

"There is such a thing?" Gu Jiao was surprised.

Eunuch Qin nodded again: "That's right. But in fact, before that, the two had several disputes, but they were not known to outsiders. The reason for the first dispute is that the old slave does not remember, nor does the Queen Mother. , Too many years have passed. In any case, in the eyes of outsiders, the reason for the breakup between the two is whether to open the head of the late emperor."

"Did it finally open?" Gu Jiao was more curious about this.

Eunuch Qin shook his head: "No, the late emperor passed away before the dispute between the two reached a conclusion."

Gu Jiao said again: "Then... when did the Empress Dowager and Concubine Jing break up?"

Eunuch Qin said: "In the last few days before the late Emperor died, the Empress Dowager and Concubine Jing had a quarrel, and the Empress Dowager gave Concubine Jing a slap. The old slave was waiting outside at that time, so he didn't hear clearly what the two were arguing about. , I only know that from then on, the Empress Dowager no longer associates with Concubine Jing."

With my aunt's character, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, she is brave enough to take any risk. She is a woman who is more decisive and brave than a man. It's fine if both of them disagree. Even the emperor agrees. How can my aunt be more conservative than the emperor?

Could it be that Doctor Yan has a problem?

Or make a bold guess that the doctor was recruited by Concubine Jing to murder the late emperor.

It's just that Concubine Jing's conspiracy was discovered by her aunt, so she opposed the craniotomy, and because the emperor was drugged, he obeyed Concubine Jing's words and rebelled against his aunt in every possible way, so he later advocated craniotomy.

So did the first emperor really die of illness?

What exactly was written in the imperial decree left by him before his death?

Empress Dowager Zhuang came over after reading the scriptures. Gu Jiao saw that she was dressed upright and looked like she was about to go out, so she couldn't help asking, "Huh? Is auntie going out?"

Empress Dowager Zhuang rolled her eyes: "Didn't you want to play with that stupid emperor?"

"No need." Gu Jiao curled the corners of her lips, "Auntie has been hard these days, and in the future, Auntie doesn't have to force herself to act with His Majesty."

If you were an ordinary person, you should ask why, but the Empress Dowager Zhuang didn't ask this, she said: "Can you return the candied fruit?"

Gu Jiao spread her hands: "If I don't act, of course I won't give it."

Empress Dowager Zhuang's face darkened.

play!

She wants to act!

Just play five candied fruit!

Then Empress Dowager Zhuang lifted the phoenix robe and went to Huaqing Palace!

Does this girl think her acting is not good enough?

Hmph, at worst, she just needs to work harder!

There are a lot of excerpts today.

Last night, Empress Dowager Zhuang called him to discuss the matter. The news that the Crown Princess broke the Kun Bureau has been sent to the other five countries. Among them, Liang Guo, Zhao Guo, and Chen Guo have all replied, expressing their appreciation for the Crown Princess and congratulations to Zhao Guo. And all three countries sent invitations to Princess Zhao.

Empress Dowager Zhuang's intention was for the two to communicate first, so as not to quarrel again in the court.

He didn't go.

As a result, the Golden Luan Hall was really noisy this morning.

Those who advocate going to Liang State, Liang State is the upper state, and making friends with it will benefit Zhao State without any harm.

Some advocated going to the State of Zhao. After all, Mr. Meng’s hometown, Pucheng, was in the State of Zhao, and Pucheng was known as the Capital of Chess.

Some also proposed to go to Chen Guo, because Chen Guoguo was about to confer the new empress, and the crown prince and the envoys went to participate in the empress ceremony, killing two birds with one stone.

The emperor was suffering from a headache, and the palace servants reported that Mrs. Zhuang was coming.

The emperor didn't think much about it, thinking he was here to discuss this matter, he took a sip of tea from his teacup, only to hear a powerful call from the door: "Hong'er—"

The emperor's dragon body shook, and the teacup in his hand flew out!
