Chapter 559 The Secret in Hand
Chapter 559 The Secret in Hand
The Queen Mother's face lit up with joy, and she finally felt relieved.
It seems that the emperor still cares about her face and remembers the mother-son relationship between her and him.
As for Su Ru, it would be easy to kill her after today.
Su Ru wanted to speak, but was taken away by the royal guards who came forward.
The old maid was powerless to resist and was taken away.
Everyone was silent, and turned away, knowing full well that
The emperor doesn't want to make a big fuss, and he wants to protect the empress dowager.
It seems that Su Ru, who risked her life to file a complaint with the emperor, may not be able to save her life.
However, before the empress dowager could be happy, Xie Yu just stood up and was about to leave.
Then the imperial guards walked in quickly and knelt on the ground.
Offer the letter with both hands
Everyone looked back
Why does the imperial guard look like this? Whose letter is this?
The imperial guard Wu Feng said loudly, "Your Majesty, this is an urgent letter from Jiangnan that has just been sent over 800 miles. Please have a look at it."
Since Wu Feng saved Lin Junxue in the royal hunting ground last time, he was promoted to the imperial guard. Recently, he has gained Xie Yu's trust.
When Xie Yu saw the letter in Wu Feng's hand, Gao Cheng went down and presented the letter.
Xie Yu opened the envelope and quickly scanned the letter paper.
Just one glance and he felt like he was struck by lightning.
He froze in place instantly.
Xie Yu's expression suddenly changed. It was originally as calm as water, but now it was filled with astonishment and disbelief.
His eyes narrowed slightly
At the same time, his expression became extremely gloomy and unclear.
Suddenly he was shrouded in a thick layer of dark clouds, making it difficult to guess what he was thinking.
It was rare for people to see the emperor, who never showed his emotions, show such an expression.
No one knows why
Only Lin Junxue sat on the Phoenix throne, watching this scene, with no fluctuations in her eyes.
This gift is the highlight of today
Xie Yu put down the envelope, a sad look on his face, pondered for a few seconds, and then spoke.
"Jiedushi Anshan was on his way back to Beijing from Jiangnan. On his way through Qingshan Town, he was robbed by bandits and stabbed in the abdomen. He died before he could be treated."
Here comes
Everyone was shocked. Anshan had been trusted by the emperor for many years. When he returned to Beijing this time, he would definitely be promoted.
Who would have thought that on the way back to Beijing, he would be killed by bandits?
Ansan is dead
Most importantly, Anshan is not only an important official of the Emperor, but also the Queen Mother's closest brother.
Over the years, who in the court doesn't know about the sisterly love between the Queen Mother and Anshan?
The queen mother, who was so complacent and arrogant just now, suddenly seemed to be cast under a spell.
The whole person froze in place as if petrified.
Her chin, which was originally raised high, suddenly dropped down.
The smile on his face disappeared without a trace in an instant.
At this moment, she widened her eyes and stared at Xie Yu in front of her.
There was a frightening scarlet light flashing in his eyes, like an angry beast.
Scream
"No, Your Majesty, what are you talking about? Stop talking nonsense, Your Majesty, on such a happy day, how can you make such a joke? Stop talking, it's impossible, my brother will not be in trouble, he is surrounded by elite soldiers, how could a mere bandit die like this, it's impossible"
The Queen Mother's voice became sharper and sharper, and was very irritating.
Tonight, everyone has become accustomed to the Queen Mother's gaffes.
Xie Yu frowned as he watched the Queen Mother collapse.
"Mother, my uncle's body has been transported back from Qingshan Town. It will arrive in Kyoto soon. My uncle is dead. Please accept my condolences."
The Queen Mother took a step back and slumped in her chair.
Wang Chu stepped forward and immediately supported the Queen Mother, placing his hands behind her back.
When no one was paying attention, Wang Chu inserted the silver needle in his hand into the Queen Mother's body.
Next second
The Queen Mother suddenly seemed to be out of breath, her eyes widened and her eyes were about to burst.
Then, his eyes rolled back and he fainted.
"Queen Mother"
"Queen Mother"
Everyone was horrified by this sudden situation.
Xie Yu, who was calm and composed, changed his expression.
"Go quickly! Call the imperial physician immediately. There can be no delay!"
Upon hearing this, the servant ran away like an arrow.
Lin Junxue stepped forward
"Your Majesty, I think my mother is very angry. Don't worry, she will be fine."
Xie Yu turned his head and nodded
"I'm fine"
Chen Mi stood there, looking at the fainted empress dowager, his face cold.
So, that's how it is. Did the Queen already know that Anshan died in Qingshan Town?
Do not……
She must be overthinking.
How could the Queen know?
The Queen would not know about this matter in advance, and would plan it today.
Ci'an Palace
The imperial physician was diagnosing the case inside, while Xie Yu and the concubines were waiting outside.
Different expressions
Gao Cheng walked in and whispered something in Xie Yu's ear.
Xie Yu's eyebrows became more and more gloomy.
Lin Junxue narrowed her eyes and took a sip of tea.
Immediately, Xie Yu stood up, and all the concubines immediately followed suit.
Xie Yu looked at Lin Junxue and didn't speak yet.
Lin Junxue said, "Your Majesty, if you have anything to do, please go first. I will stay here. Your Majesty, don't worry. I am here for you."
Xie Yu was very relieved
"Queen, thank you for your hard work."
Lin Junxue and the other concubines respectfully saw Xie Yu off
After Xie Yu left.
Lin Junxue turned around and looked at the concubines
"Okay, it's late tonight, you all go back first, I will stay here to guard it."
All the concubines took their leave, but Chen Mi was a step slower and stayed.
When everyone had left, Chen Mi turned to look at Lin Junxue and paused.
"Today, the Queen has a good plan. Aunt Ziying, I'm afraid you have already prepared for it and are just waiting for today."
Now, the queen is so scheming
Chen Mi found it hard to imagine how the Queen could have such a drastic change in her personality after only being confined to her house for half a year.
daunting.
Lin Junxue raised her eyes, her eyes were as dark as ink, and looked at Chen Mi with an indifferent expression.
"I am naturally impressed by Concubine Mi's methods. She was even able to find Su Yin's illegitimate daughter."
Chen Mi paused, then turned his head and his voice became a little colder.
"Empress, this alone is probably not enough. The Emperor did not open the envelope in front of everyone because he wanted to protect the Queen Mother. As for Aunt Ziying whom you arranged, I don't know what secrets she holds that can shake the Queen Mother. Empress, are you sure? If we can't put the Queen Mother in an irretrievable situation this time, I'm afraid that you and I will never be able to live in peace in the future."
Lin Junxue curled her lips
"My concubine, if I say that Ziying has more than one secret in his hands, the first secret may make the emperor still have some doubts, but the second secret, the last bit of mother-son affection between the emperor and the queen mother, will surely disappear after tonight. If my concubine is curious, why not ask old Duke Chen what the secret is that can put the queen mother to death?"
Chen Mi's eyes narrowed
What the Queen means is that grandfather also knows this secret?
What else could it be except that the Empress Dowager poisoned the late emperor herself?
As for the two secrets mentioned by the queen?
Queen, how much does she know?
How did you know this?
