Chapter 344 The Angry Queen Mother
Ningyuxuan.
Huang Ye was sitting in front of the dressing table. Fang Hua was combing her hair. When she saw her yawn, Fang Hua stopped.
"Don't worry, auntie. This matter will take time to develop. We can just deal with it as it happens."
This was the best solution Huang Ye could think of. Since Concubine Shu pointed all the evidence at her, she was trying to kill her.
Huang Yexin said that if she were Concubine Shu, she would also take her own life.
She killed the assassin, ruined his plan for many years, and burned his poisonous insects...
Just thinking about it, Huang Ye felt that it was right for Concubine Shu to hate him...
Huang Ye knew that Concubine Shu might be hiding in some corner, staring at him with eager eyes.
This time, she will definitely find Concubine Shu and kill her, otherwise she will never have peace.
As for the fact that Concubine Shu was a princess of the Nanzhao Kingdom, that had nothing to do with her.
If she were to say, the Great Xia Dynasty should ask the Nanzhao Kingdom for an explanation. What's wrong with her being a princess? Anyone who attempts to murder the emperor should be sentenced to death.
In fact, Huang Ye was not wrong in his guess. The King of Qing had never been caught after his escape, and the letter from the Great Xia Dynasty had already been sent to the Kingdom of Nanzhao.
In the letter sent to Nanzhao Kingdom, the emperor denounced the evil deeds of Concubine Shu.
In addition, the letter also contained a serious warning that if Xuanyuan Jing arrived in Nanzhao Kingdom, Nanzhao should send the person over as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences would be at their own risk.
And an army of 200,000 people was quietly gathering in the south.
"My lady, I went to look for Lao Zhang and the others last night, but they didn't have any clues either. It's as if the Concubine Shu suddenly disappeared."
Nanny Zhang is in contact with the secret guards. What she said about there being no clues means that the secret guards have not discovered Concubine Shu either.
"She must be in the palace. The people of Nanzhao are good at using poison and disguise. We should be more careful and don't let her take advantage of us."
"I know, it's... Hongyue. Do you want me to send someone to keep an eye on her?"
"No, don't alert the enemy. Since Concubine Shu wants to kill me, she might have to use her."
"Red Moon."
Huang Ye called out.
Hongyue responded and walked in from outside.
"I wonder why the Majesty wants to call me?"
"Mammy is old, and her waist can't stand standing for a long time to comb my hair."
Huang Ye spoke to Hong Yue gently.
"I just told her that you are good with your hands. You can learn how to comb hair from her. Are you willing?"
"I am willing."
Hongyue agreed immediately before Huang Ye finished speaking, with joy in her eyes.
"Then from tomorrow on, come and watch when your aunt is combing her hair. From now on... I won't treat you unfairly."
"Thank you, my lady."
Hongyue bowed happily.
"You go out."
After Hongyue went out, Huang Ye and Fanghua looked at each other.
This red moon...is watertight.
Just as Huang Ye had expected, not long after she had lunch, Xiao Yinzi came running to Ningyuxuan and said that the Empress Dowager was in the Yangxin Palace and asked Huang Ye to come over.
Huang Ye really didn't expect that the first person to jump out would be the Queen Mother. Wasn't she under house arrest?
Xiao Yinzi gave her the answer.
It turned out that today, on his way to the morning court, Censor Zhao encountered two people who were discussing angrily.
Although he was sitting in the sedan chair, Censor Zhao heard it clearly.
"That Concubine Ye let the princess of Nanzhao Kingdom, who was owned by Concubine Shu, run away, and killed the head of the Ministry of Punishment. The Emperor actually protected her and didn't even send anyone to investigate."
"How do you know this?"
Another person asked.
"Now it's all over the harem. The emperor is protecting Concubine Ye and not letting this matter get out. Just wait, this news will soon spread throughout the capital."
"Then let's spread the word and avenge the head of the Ministry of Punishment."
After saying that, the two men ran away.
Because it was still dark, and Censor Zhao hadn't seen the faces of the two men, did he know that they had said that on purpose for him to hear?
It was his duty to report to the emperor, so during the morning court session, he reported what he had heard to the court.
He has to ask, because those people with ulterior motives will really make a big deal out of this.
He let the emperor know in advance so that the emperor would have time to respond.
The emperor directly acknowledged in the court the escape of Concubine Shu and the murder of the head of the Ministry of Punishment.
However, he also said that Concubine Shu was captured with the help of Concubine Ye, and she had no reason to let her out and harm herself.
You know, Concubine Ye destroyed the foundation she had built up in the harem for many years.
There were verbal battles in the court, and there was also no peace in the harem.
When the Emperor finished reviewing the memorials and returned to the Yangxin Palace, her mother, who had been under house arrest, ran to the Palace.
The Empress Dowager was under house arrest, but there were people guarding outside the Cining Palace.
Even if the Queen Mother wanted to go out, she couldn't because the eunuchs guarding her would stop her. If she went out, the Emperor would want their heads.
I don’t know what made the Queen Mother crazy today. She held a pair of scissors in her hand, pointing them at her neck.
She said that if the eunuchs didn't let her go out, she would die in front of them.
The eunuchs who were guarding the place were almost frightened to death. While they were trying to comfort the empress dowager, they sent someone to quickly tell the emperor.
The emperor didn't expect that the first person to jump out from the harem would be his mother. Thinking of Xuanyuan Ze's analysis...
"Your Majesty, what you said last time about not getting a tiger cub without risking it makes sense. That Concubine Shu must not have left the palace."
"Just look at who was the first one in the harem to jump out and cause trouble. This person must be connected to Concubine Shu... or Concubine Shu's people."
"Let's just hold on to this thread tightly and follow it to the end."
"Let her come here."
His mother was impulsive and easily misled, so he wanted to see who was using her behind the scenes.
The empress dowager walked towards the Yangxin Palace angrily. She was so angry that Concubine Ye had committed such a capital crime, but the emperor still protected her.
As the empress dowager, she would not tolerate any grain of sand in her eyes. This time, if she didn't kill Concubine Ye, she would be sorry for Xuan Chengzi's family who died in vain.
The empress dowager became angrier and angrier, and by the time she reached the Yangxin Palace, her eyes were red.
Seeing the emperor sitting in a chair and reading calmly, the empress dowager became frightened.
She rushed over, seized the book and tore it to pieces.
"Mother."
The Emperor's voice was high and angry.
"Your Majesty, that Concubine Ye let Concubine Shu escape and killed An Wu. She is clearly related to the Nanzhao Kingdom."
The Queen Mother was so angry that she was gasping for breath.
"Instead of arresting her and torturing her, you actually let her stay in her Ningyuxuan as if nothing had happened..."
"Your Majesty, do you want to be a tyrant and hand over the country to the Southern Zhao Kingdom?"
"Old Yu, shut her mouth for me, I want to see what else she can say..."
The emperor was also very angry and ordered Eunuch Yu.
Eunuch Yu picked up a handkerchief and stuffed it into the Empress Dowager's mouth.
Of course, in order to prevent her from pulling it out with her own hands, he also found a rope and tied her hands behind her back.
The Queen Mother had never suffered such pain before. She felt as if the pain in her arm was not her own.
