Xiao Xixi sighed while eating.

"I don't know what Concubine Li and Yao Jieyu are doing now? There shouldn't be any crabs and moon cakes in Ziyun Nunnery, right?"

Luo Qinghan: "I have sent people moon cakes to the concubines in Ziyun Nunnery, and Concubine Li and Yao Jieyu also have a share."

Xiao Xixi: "Where is the Taimiao?"

Since the last time the Great Empress Dowager and Luo Yanzhi failed in their rebellion, the relationship between the Great Empress Dowager and the Emperor has been completely deadlocked.

Now the Great Empress Dowager is still recuperating in the Imperial Temple, and it seems that it is no different from before, but the people around her have been replaced by Luo Qinghan.

Even Confucius Nvshi, who has followed her for many years, has been sent to a remote nunnery and has become a monk with pure six senses.

As for Gan Fu, he was sent to guard the imperial mausoleum.

Today's Great Empress Dowager is completely empty, surrounded by people arranged by the emperor, and her every move is under the supervision of the emperor.

Not only that, the emperor also killed the eldest son of the Lu family, in order to offset the crime of treason by the empress dowager.

When the Empress Dowager heard about this, she became furious and fell ill at that time.

This time it was a real illness, not a fake one.

But the emperor didn't come to see her, just let the imperial doctor give her a good diagnosis and treatment.

Even on the Mid-Autumn Festival, Luo Qinghan had no intention of taking her back to the palace to celebrate the festival together.

Luo Qinghan said lightly.

"I have sent her moon cakes and sweet-scented osmanthus wine, and I have allowed Princess Hua'an to visit her."

In the past, if the Empress Dowager wanted to see Princess Hua'an, she just had to let someone know.

But now, only with the permission of the emperor, others can enter the Taimiao.

Now that the entire Taimiao Temple is under the strict supervision of the imperial guards, the Queen Mother can no longer liaise with outsiders like before in an attempt to rebel.

Today's Princess Hua'an went out early in the morning.

She took a well-prepared boxing and drove to the Taimiao Temple.

There are heavy guards inside and outside the Taimiao. Even if the Princess Hua'an has a noble status, she still has to go through a lot of inspections when entering the Taimiao, and she can only see the Queen Mother after confirming that it is correct.

When Princess Hua An finally saw her mother, she was taken aback by her old appearance.

The Empress Dowager is actually quite old, but because of proper maintenance, she looks quite young.

However, after a series of blows recently, her mind and body have been severely affected. Her hair is almost completely white, her face is covered with deep wrinkles, her eyelids are drooping down, and she looks several years older than before.

When Princess Hua An saw that her mother had become like this, she was so distressed that her eyes turned red.

"Mother, are you okay?"

The Empress Dowager sat on the soft couch, twitching the corners of her mouth, revealing a sneer full of sarcasm.

"Is Aijia okay? Can't you see it at a glance?"

Princess Hua'an took her hand: "You must take care of your body! No matter what, nothing is as important as your body."

The Empress Dowager looked at her hand being held and said suddenly.

"Ai's family has always wanted to ask you something. At the beginning, Ai's family asked you to go to the palace to find Concubine Tuberculosis, but you told Ai's family that you couldn't see Concubine Tuberculosis."

Princess Hua'an's heart skipped a beat.

She barely stabilized her mind: "Why did the queen mother suddenly talk about this?"

The Empress Dowager: "Did you really not see Concubine Tuberculosis? Or are you deliberately lying to Aijia?"

Princess Hua'an: "I really haven't seen Concubine Tuberculosis, please believe me, I won't lie to you."

The Empress Dowager laughed out loud as if she heard some funny joke.

"Ha ha."

She pulled her hand back and her expression became extraordinarily cold.

Originally, she believed in Princess Hua'an very much, after all, she was her biological daughter.

It was not until she learned something from Luo Yan that she began to suspect Princess Hua An.

This is why she deliberately used the reason of being sick to encourage Princess Hua'an to go to the palace to find the emperor, instead of telling the whole truth to Princess Hua'an.

Because she didn't trust Princess Hua'an, she was wary of her own daughter.

Princess Hua'an panicked.

She kept defending herself, trying to get the Empress Dowager to trust her again.

The Empress Dowager did not move.

She said coldly, "Aijia is very disappointed in you."

Princess Hua'an choked with red eyes and said, "I really didn't betray you, please believe me!"

The Empress Dowager's lips moved as if she wanted to say something. Out of the corner of the eye, she caught a glimpse of the two maids standing at the door. She could only shut her mouth and stop talking.

After that, no matter what Princess Hua'an said, the Empress Dowager remained silent.

Princess Hua'an had no choice but to leave with a lot of thought in the end.

These events in the Taimiao were relayed to the emperor word for word.

After Luo Qinghan heard it, she could probably guess what the Empress Dowager was thinking. She should be trying to use Princess Hua'an's guilt to force Princess Hua'an to switch to her camp.

But because all around him were his eyeliners, the Empress Dowager was afraid of being noticed by him, so she could only swallow what she wanted to say in the end.

Luo Qinghan asked people to continue to keep an eye on the Empress Dowager and not give her a chance to contact the outside world.

After the emperor's bloodbath, the relatively powerful families in Shengjing City have all existed in name only.

The rest of the aristocratic families are either not good enough, or like the Heng family, they have long been on the emperor's side.

Those officials in the DPRK who are aware of current affairs did not dare to argue with the emperor this time, for fear that they would also be cast into the party of rebels.

Only a few officials who were deeply involved in the family stood up and expressed their opposition to the emperor's iron-blooded approach.

As a result of their opposition, they were transferred to remote locations.

Originally, they all had great futures, but in the blink of an eye, their futures were gone.

Among them, there was a civil servant with a strong personality, who immediately gave up his job.

He took off his official uniform and hat in public, turned around and walked out of the council hall, and then slammed into the stone lion next to him!

He wants to come to die!

Although this person was finally rescued and his life was saved, the matter was spread out, and the literati and writers in the market were all talking about it. dissatisfaction with the emperor.

In their view, the emperor's indiscriminate exclusion of dissidents is not desirable.

As a wise man, he should be broad-minded and open to all rivers. How can people be cast into rebellion just because of a little suspicion?

I don't know who is behind it, these literati's words were spread out and caused a lot of waves in the community.

Many uninformed people have heard these words, thinking that the emperor is on the guise of treason, deliberately excluding dissidents, suppressing good officials, and enriching his own pockets.

Just as the rumors spread more and more, the "Shengjing Daily" published an article about the fact that in addition to participating in the rebellion, those aristocratic families had also done things that violated the law.

The evidence for each event is listed, concise and clear.
