After I bloom, a hundred flowers will kill

Chapter 828 Back to the Rouge Case
"Empress Dowager, this is Your Majesty's edict. Do you want to wait for the arrival of the three lords and nine ministers, and read it out together?" Shen Xihe asked while pinching the edict.

The edict was still sealed, which showed that it had not been opened yet, but Shen Xihe's calmness and confidence made people have a lot of imagination about the content of the edict, especially when Emperor Youning personally ordered Xiao Junshu to be made the grandson of the emperor.

"The truth and falsehood of the edict should naturally be judged by the Queen Mother. The Crown Princess dare not hand it over to the Queen Mother. Is she a guilty conscience!" Concubine Shu asked sharply.

"I just want three lords and nine ministers to have a notarization, so I'm a guilty conscience?" Shen Xihe didn't even look at Concubine Shu, her gaze was always on the Empress Dowager, "Does the Empress Dowager know, when did I start to guess that it was the Empress Dowager? "

Shen Xihe's words made the hall quiet, and the concubines kneeling outside the screen wished they could cover their ears, regretting that they rushed in with Concubine Shu, Concubine Shu's eyes flashed.

The Queen Mother still looked kindly, looking at Shen Xihe calmly: "When?"

"The crown prince was buried, and the second lady Yu was involved." Shen Xihe's eyes were horrified, "The second lady Yu is different from others, she just returned to the capital, but a little lady, even I, because of a few coincidences, I just noticed it. How can someone like the Empress Dowager who seeks the position of supremacy notice such an insignificant person like her?
I thought of the day when I broke the sachet she sewed for the Empress Dowager. I thought it was the day when the Empress Dowager went to check on the Second Lady Yu. The Second Lady Yu stepped on her elder sister to become Princess Zhao, and the Empress Dowager gave her a high look. The empress dowager knew about Mrs. Yu's fake death early in the morning. "

"With your intelligence, it shouldn't be so late." The Empress Dowager's smile was as peaceful as before, with a peaceful brow, and people who worshiped Buddha all the year round showed an amiable kindness all over their bodies.

"Yeah, it shouldn't be so late, it's just a mistake of love." Shen Xihe laughed at himself, his eyes turned and fell on Concubine Shu, "As early as when she parted ways with me, I became suspicious of the Queen Mother." But the queen mother is Beichen's only close relative, I don't want to tear away the softness in his heart, so I deceive myself and others."

Concubine Shu may not be the most intelligent person, but she will definitely not be a stupid person. She was able to understand the situation in the Eastern Palace that day, and she was able to be hanged in the wilderness for a whole night in order to gain His Majesty's pity.

It shows how sober she is, how could she be easily dazzled by the emperor's favor?
No matter how much His Majesty favored her, it was not enough to confuse her mind, but she still broke up with Shen Xihe. Since it was not because of His Majesty, then there must be someone who can give her more than Shen Xihe can give.

Does such a person exist?
If you don't think about the Queen Mother, naturally it doesn't exist.

But what about the queen mother?

The Queen Mother is deeply trusted by the Prince, and Concubine Shu may feel that they are all pawns in the Queen Mother's hands.

And since the Queen Mother has shown her true colors in front of Concubine Shu, if Concubine Shu does not follow, there will be no way out, Concubine Shu knows this well.

"Since you have identified me for a long time, you put Er Niang Yu in the secret passage on purpose." The Queen Mother also wanted to understand one thing.

"The matter of the second lady Yu did make me a step closer to identifying the Queen Mother, but I still have a little luck. I want to know how powerful the Queen Mother is." Shen Xihe also generously admitted.

"Have you guessed how capable I am now?" the Queen Mother asked with a smile.

Shen Xihe shook his head: "The Empress Dowager is able to treat me honestly at this time, presumably there is someone behind me that I can't see."

The wrinkles at the corners of the Empress Dowager's eyes were stained with a joyful smile. The way she looked at Shen Xihe still had the love of the elders for the younger generation, and she didn't seem to be fake: "The women in this world are so stupid, but you are not like them. intelligent."

"The Empress Dowager looks down on women in this world, so she uses them as puppets and can discard them at any time." Shen Xihe looked flat, "Including those weak girls who were involved in the Rouge case."

"You really know everything." The Queen Mother sighed softly.

"The crown prince has a wealth of wealth, the second highness collects money from brothels, the fourth highness robs tombs to get money, and the eighth highness suppresses bandits and steals money." Shen Xihe looked at the queen mother, "Even your majesty uses the treasury to support people. The queen mother is interested in the world. How can we not cultivate power? Where does the money come from? I thought, why the Queen Mother has been hiding behind the scenes all these years, is there any other reason for her helplessness besides waiting for the right time?"

The Empress Dowager smiled unabated and looked at Shen Xihe with an air of all ears.

At this time, outside the palace, the two armies had already started fighting. Many people from the Empress Dowager came from the secret passage, but Shen Xi and Zao sent people to intercept and kill them outside the secret passage, and the entrance of the secret passage became the most tragic place to fight.

The gates of the four palaces were closed by the guards. Xiao Changqing, Xiao Changying, Xiao Changgeng, and Xie Yunhuai each led people to besiege a gate. They didn't know what was going on in the palace.

But when they asked to enter the palace, they were rejected, and the people guarding the city gate suddenly became strangers to them.

The palace was still quite calm, many guards surrounded civil and military officials and killed Shen Shen, the censor scolded him, and the other party raised his sword and wiped the man's neck, the generals also held back instantly, they needed to find an opportunity.

These people kept saying that they were ordered by the Crown Princess, creating a situation where Shen Xihe wanted to force the palace to seek rebellion.

Tao Zhuanxian was in a hurry and wanted to refute, but was held back by Cui Zheng.

Only in the Hall of Qinzheng, the sound of fighting with swords and swords could not be heard.

"I think it all stemmed from the Rouge case. Why does Concubine Wei want so much money? They are already so wealthy, and deliberately training those women to be high-ranking officials as concubines is not just for money." Shen Xihe also seemed to be ignorant of the outside world. However, she remained calm and composed, "The real mastermind behind the Rouge case is you, Queen Mother!

It's just that after the situation has grown, it is inevitable that there will be a mistake, and this mistake appeared under His Majesty's nose, and the queen mother was furious immediately and ordered a thorough investigation. Who would have guessed that the queen mother is the mastermind?

The Queen Mother wanted to cut the mess quickly, but His Royal Highness Lie took away the evidence, and the prince intervened in it. The Queen Mother had no choice but to torch all the years of planning. Fortunately, the evidence in the hands of His Royal Highness only pointed to Concubine Wei in the end.

This is why the queen mother can only sneak around after the Rouge case, because the queen mother's hard work has been shattered. "

"That's right, that's right at all." The queen mother smiled and nodded, "The power I have cultivated over the years, seeing that I can control the entire court through the inner house, was destroyed by Qilang."

"I'm afraid it was also at that time that the Queen Mother realized that Bei Chen, who had been growing under the Queen Mother's nose, was already someone the Queen Mother could no longer control." Shen Xihe felt sorry for Xiao Huayong. Be on guard, "The Empress Dowager's power has been hurt, and she is afraid of Beichen's power, so she simply destroys the Great Wall with one move."
