The queen mother is charming

Chapter 8

"Queen Mother!"

After Chunya and Qiangwei heard these words, their expressions changed.

"Go, this is an order!"

Mu Qingchao's face was solemn and his tone was stern, carrying the indescribable majesty of a superior.

Even though Chunya and Qiangwei grew up with her, but the master is the master, and he dare not disobey his orders.

Chun Ya bit the bullet and opened the window.

As soon as the window was opened, the cold wind came in with frost and snow, and the temperature in the room dropped sharply.

"What is the Queen Mother doing?" Chunya said with tears in her eyes, "Your body is still not healed from the wind and cold. You are ruining yourself so badly, but do you want to kill yourself?"

Mu Qingchao held the thin quilt that Qiangwei had put on for her with one hand, only feeling his teeth chatter from the cold.

But she laughed: "Aijia did this to survive."

In fact, it's no wonder Chunya and the others are anxious. This is the ancient times, where there was no penicillin. A cold can kill a person, let alone tossing back and forth like her?

But how did they know that the situation she was in now was far more dangerous than Fengchi.

She is just a woman, she has no background and no power, she only has herself, if she wants to survive in this harem, if she wants to protect the people around her, she can only be willing to cut herself apart and fight for herself .

**
"I heard that the Empress Dowager has been ill since the death of the first emperor, and she still hasn't recovered yet."

"This is really strange. At first the imperial doctor came to see that it was just a simple cold, but after so many days, so many medicines were sent to the Chaoyun Temple, but it was like a mud cow entering the sea. It was useless at all."

"I heard that it was the late emperor who was reluctant to part with the queen mother and wanted to take her away. The queen mother was favored in the past, and the late emperor still couldn't let her go."

Under the palace wall, a few maidservants holding things in their hands hurried forward while whispering something in a low voice.

When one of the young maidservants heard this, a look of fear flickered on his face.

"Sister Ning, you can't talk nonsense like this."

"It's not me talking nonsense. It has spread all over the palaces, and even His Majesty is in a hurry, saying that he wants to invite Qin Tianjian to come and see it."

"Your Majesty?" Even though the young girl was frightened, she couldn't hold back her curiosity and asked: "Your Majesty and the Queen Mother are not real mother and son, why are you so anxious?"

"That's our Majesty's filial piety." Another maidservant next to him said.

"Although the person in Chaoyun Palace has no relationship with His Majesty, it is the late Emperor's will after all.

His Majesty said in the previous court that the relationship between mother and child was given by the first emperor, and he dared not disobey him. Now that the first emperor is gone, he will treat the woman in Chaoyun Palace as his own biological mother and concubine from now on. "

"Can……"

But why does His Majesty respect a woman who is one year younger than him as his mother and concubine?
The little palace maid was timid, so she didn't say this sentence, and swallowed it with a "gudu".

Changed the subject again and asked: "But can the Qin Tianjian really see anything?"

"Who knows? The result will be known tomorrow."

On the second day, Qin Tianjian really saw something.

It turns out that the Empress Dowager fell ill not after the death of the first emperor, but after someone moved into the harem.

The queen mother rushed with the criminal.

I heard that there were seven evil stars moving last night, and the red light covered the moon. There are evil stars coming to the world, so I went straight to the opposite palace. , got sick.

At the end, Qin Tianjian also said, "The evil star is fierce and has the potential to shake Ziwei. Your Majesty should be more careful."

This sentence caused an uproar in the court.

Zhong Ming, as the first assistant and the head of civil servants, was naturally the first to ask: "Then, who is this evil star?"

Qin Tianjian counted: "Chaoyun Palace is located in the southeast, its opposite palace... Yuxia Palace..."

"Jade……"

Master Zhong choked for a moment: "You are talking nonsense."

Qin Tianjian stood on the court hall, holding the tooth card in both hands, rolled his eyelids up, and looked like the old god was there: "The next official eats the king's salary, and the matter of loyalty to the king is asked by Mr. Zhong, and the next official will tell you Just tell the truth what you see.

As for whether to believe it or not, that is Mr. Zhong's business.

Or, Mr. Zhong feels that he has a good view of the sky, so he can see it by himself. "

"you……"

In this day and age, there are very few people who can observe the sky. They are the aides that all forces want to recruit under their command, and they are rare talents that the emperor respects a little bit.

Qin Tianjian had his own reasons for his arrogance when he spoke like this, and he also concluded that Mr. Zhong has absolutely no such ability. A few words made Mr. Zhong feel tight in his chest, and there was nothing he could do.

"Okay." The emperor on the seat waved his hand.

"In Aiqing's opinion, is there a solution to this matter?" He looked at Qin Tianjian.

"There is a solution..." Qin Tianjian replied.

"The jade concubine's fault was Sui Chong. If I guess correctly, the jade concubine belongs to the tiger, and the tiger and the rabbit meet each other. Before the end of the new year, it is already so powerful. In the coming year, the country is afraid of catastrophe.

As long as Concubine Yu doesn't go out this year, it will be fine.

If the minister goes to Yuxia Palace to arrange a little, it will not hinder others. "

"His Majesty……"

Master Zhong hurriedly stood up when he heard this: "These are just unfounded things, I think..."

"Master Zhong."

But before Zhong Ming finished speaking, Shen Muchi interrupted him.

"The foundation of the country and Ling'ai not being able to go out for a year, which is more important?" Shen Muchi looked at Zhong Ming and asked.

Zhong Ming paused.

Do you still need to think about this kind of thing?

He only heard him say: "Compared with Guoben, the matter of Concubine Yu is naturally not worth mentioning."

Shen Muchi's expression softened a bit: "That's it, that's it, since it's about the country, it can't be underestimated, it's better to believe it than not.

Then the Yuxia Palace was sealed and Concubine Yu was banned for a year. After a year, everything will be as usual.

Both I and the people of Nanming will be grateful for the sacrifice made by Concubine Yu. "

Shen Muchi's words have reached this point, what else can Zhong Ming say?
It's just a one-year ban, and in this year, the cost of food and clothing will not be short for Zhong Chuchu.

Zhong Chuchu is now 17 years old, and will only be eighteen a year later. She still has a lot of youth, which doesn't seem to have much impact.

Naturally, Zhong Ming would not tear himself apart from him because of such a trivial matter.

Even if Zhong Ming is unwilling, all civil and military officials will persuade him.

As Shen Muchi said, it is better to believe in something than nothing. Everyone respects gods and Buddhas, and no one is willing to exchange Nanming's fate for a woman's one year.

This loss, Zhong Ming has to eat it, and he has to eat it if he doesn't eat it.

Zhong Ming gritted his teeth, and knelt down towards Shen Muchi: "On behalf of Concubine Yu, I would like to thank Your Majesty for your kindness."

Shen Muchi lowered his eyes, hiding a look of indistinctness under his eyes, flicked his sleeves, and said in a cold tone: "If there is no performance, then let's go down."

Shen Mu got up late, and there was a glimmer of darkness in his eyes.

For some reason, he suddenly remembered the appearance of Mu Qingchao kneeling in front of him that day.

"Your Majesty can't be too hasty. It only takes one year, but you can do a lot of things in one year, enough for Your Majesty to gain a firm foothold."

These were the words that Mu Qingchao knelt in Fulin Palace that day.

"Rushing for success will only alert Mr. Zhong, and it would be bad to fight back. Just killing people with such a blunt knife, and holding the initiative in your palm before he reacts is the best plan."

Everything was as Mu Qingchao expected.

Let Shen Muchi pretend to be a favor first, because the Zhong family is anxious to get their daughter pregnant, so they won't get entangled in other matters.

Then he fell ill again, which led to Qin Tianjian's remarks, and made Zhong Chuchu grounded for a year. He also made up his mind that the Zhong family spent a lot of effort in supporting Shen Muchi to take over the position, and they would never tear themselves apart easily.

Losing Zhong Chuchu for a year is better than supporting another emperor again.

Not only does Mu Qingchao have a clear picture of the situation in the court, he knows what others want and think like the back of his hand, he can also gain insight into people's hearts and control them...

This woman is so smart that people are frightened.
