Empress Dowager Guide

Chapter 76 The most advanced battle

After finishing speaking, Princess Lin Yang quietly backed out. Sheng Shaoqing looked at the back of the princess, and thought to herself that Princess Lin Yang looked ordinary on the surface, but in reality it was not simple.

[How can you think that such a person is so simple that she can win the favor of Princess Hengyang and the first emperor? 】

It took the system a long time to remember and added, [However, it's true that I'm a little crazy about love. 】

Sheng Shaoqing:
Cui Yun knew at the beginning that the Queen Mother asked her to go out to refill the water not to cool the tea, but to leave a space for her and the princess to talk alone, so after seeing Princess Lin Yang leave, Cui Yun went back to the palace wisely.

Cui Yun couldn't find the queen mother in the main hall where the princess was received. After thinking about it, she turned and entered the apse. Sure enough, she found the queen mother who was resting comfortably with her eyes closed on the imperial concubine's couch.

Cui Yun could only bite the bullet and interrupt the Empress Dowager's rest, "Empress Dowager, the imperial doctor has already saved Zhang Qing, but he is still in a coma. I'm afraid I won't be able to ask anything recently."

Sheng Shaoqing didn't open his eyes, but nodded his head and said, "After such a scene today, his charges have already been confirmed, so why ask?"

Cui Yun said worriedly, "Weichen is worried about this."

Sheng Shaoqing could only open his eyes and follow her line of sight. The exquisitely crafted box was still lying on the ground and no one dared to move it, and the powder had already been cleaned up.

"Are you worried about the people behind him?"

Cui Yun nodded. She was worried that the person who sent the medicine had bad intentions and took the opportunity to murder the Queen Mother. Although the Queen Mother's food and other things were all in charge of the special person, and only after several inspections could they be sent to the Palace of Eternal Light. If there is a problem, it is really hard to prevent.

The more Cui Yun thought about it, the more afraid she became, and her hands trembled unconsciously.

"Then who do you think it will be?"

Sheng Shaoqing yawned and closed her eyes again. She was so tired today that her mind was almost out of control.

Cui Yun calmed down and said, "According to Weichen's investigation, among the people who have good friends with Zhang Qing, many of them have very close personal relationships with the Wei family, so it may be."

Cui Yun reasonably suspected that Wei Zhen searched out such a prescription to let the queen mother indulge in this way, so that he could take the opportunity to control the government.

What His Majesty said today confirmed her suspicion even more.

【The host please judge whether this incident was done by Wei Zhen?】

[If the answer is correct, there will be additional rewards in addition to the basic bonus points. 】

Well, for the sake of extra rewards, Sheng Shaoqing forced his brain, which was already in a mess, to start thinking.

According to the various theories taught to her by the system, when a person does something, he always chooses the answer that is most beneficial to him after weighing the pros and cons.

Combined with different people's behavioral styles, conduct, and IQ, it is possible to deduce who did it.

Wei Zhen likes to play yin, and giving himself cold food powder really seems like something he can do.

The pointed words he said in Yuan Che's ear today increased Wei Zhen's suspicion even more.

And once he becomes addicted, Wei Zhen will definitely be the biggest beneficiary of this matter, because from the current point of view, only he and Yun Zhi are against him. After he falls, dealing with Yun Zhi is easy for him.

"I think it's him." Sheng Shaoqing replied confidently. Anyway, whether it is or not, there is always a 50% correct rate.

[Friendly reminder, don't be so arbitrary. 】

What kind of broken reminder is this, it's better to tell her directly.

"Not him? Then who else?"

[Let me give you another reminder, "one person, one bite". 】

"One bite per person?"

[Yes, "one bite per person". 】

………………

What kind of reminder is this, one bite for one person?
wrong!

One person with one mouth, grouped together, and one person in the mouth, isn't that a prisoner?
Who is in prison?
Who is she taking prisoner?
The first prisoner has already gone offline, and Wang Shanggong doesn't have this ability, so, "It's Mrs. Li?!"

[No, think again. 】

"It's Li Lingjiang!" Sheng Shaoqing was shocked for a moment, "How could it be him?!"

But if you think about it carefully, it doesn't seem unreasonable.

Mrs. Li was imprisoned in the first place. Although the matter was secret, the news was leaked from Zhang Qing. Li Lingjiang knew that his sister was in prison. Liang, with no stolen goods like this, Sheng Shaoqing couldn't do anything to him for a while.

On the one hand, he used the trick of diverting the tiger away from the mountain to transport people and the stolen goods separately, so that he might be able to get away with it, and on the other hand, he asked Zhang Qing to donate medicine to himself. If he fell for the trick, no one would be able to stop them from now on.

It's a pity that Sheng Shaoqing had his own buff, so he saw through his trick and found the stolen goods from the county guard's mansion. His first plan failed, so he activated the emergency plan to solve Sheng Shaoqing directly from the source.

This Li Lingjiang is really a talent.

"However, Wei Zhen really has nothing to do with this matter?"

Maybe it was Wei Zhen who found that nonsense fairy master for Li Lingjiang.

【Well, you need to take a history lesson today. 】

Sheng Shaoqing: Huh? ? ?
Why do you have to go to class again?
"When Li Lingjiang proposed to flatten Nanjing, Wei Zhen was the first person in the court to object."

Sheng Shaoqing: ... Well, she should take history class.

So who can know that these two are right?

Seeing that the queen mother closed her eyes again, Cui Yun was already habitually trying to cover Sheng Shaoqing with a blanket, but Sheng Shaoqing suddenly said, "It's not him."

Cui Yun is also used to the queen mother speaking suddenly, so she can only follow the queen mother's words, "What does the queen mother mean?"

"Although Wei Zhen is very suspicious, Ai Jia thinks it's not him."

Sheng Shaoqing himself felt outrageous when he heard this, but the fact is that Wei Zhen has nothing to do with this matter, and Li Lingjiang is the culprit. All the inferences just now are actually arbitrary.

However, one yard counts for one yard. If he wants to teach Yuan Che badly, he must settle the score with him!
Seeing that the queen mother was so determined, Cui Yun couldn't say anything, but when she heard the queen mother asked about Mrs. Li's recent situation, she could only reply, "Mrs. I have seen it, but I think Shen Sizheng will not treat them badly."

Well, since the things have been found, these two people are of no use. It would be a waste of her money to put them in Ye Ting Prison to eat and drink. Sheng Shaoqing pondered for a long time and said, "Mrs. Punishment, but because she has been in the palace for many years, served the late emperor for her meritorious service, she was degraded as a talented person, and moved to Yilan Courtyard. Wang Shanggong committed a crime and made meritorious service. The death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped. Reuse."

Cui Yun was puzzled and said, "Yilan Courtyard is the courtyard with the best location in the West Palace. It is only a few steps away from our Yongguang Palace. Why did you put her there?"

Sheng Shaoqing smiled, "Her, Aijia has its uses."

Cui Yun didn't speak, but Lian Qiao, who came in to make Sheng Shaoqing's bed, said, "I heard that Mrs. Li seems to have changed in prison recently. She just sat there without saying a word all day in a daze, silent like It's like losing your voice, Queen Mother, you have to be careful."

Sheng Shaoqing asked suspiciously, "Why are you so careful?"

Lianqiao said in a low voice, "I was like this before I saw someone in the village lose their mind when I was young. After being stimulated, my temperament changed drastically. First I was in a daze, and then I went crazy!"

Cui Yun reprimanded her again, "Stop talking nonsense in front of the Queen Mother!"

Sheng Shaoqing raised his hand to stop Cui Yun, and then asked Lian Qiao, "Have you heard of any changes in Mrs. Li?"

Lianqiao thought for a while, "There is nothing else. After you finished interrogating Mrs. Li that day, she seemed to have gradually become silent. The servant girl also heard someone passing it by chance, so she didn't pay attention to it. If the Queen Mother cared , the servant girl will go and ask."

Sheng Shaoqing waved his hand, "That's all, Aijia is just curious for a while, but when she goes to Yilan Hospital, let's find an imperial doctor to show her."

Lian Qiao responded, made the bed, waited for Sheng Shaoqing to go to bed, and then retreated with Cui Yun.

"Miss Cui, do you feel that the Queen Mother is a little different?" After walking a long way outside the hall, Lian Qiao quietly asked Cui Yun when there was no one around.

Cui Yun glanced at her inadvertently, "What do you mean?"

Lianqiao was frightened by Cui Yun's sudden chill, and muttered, "That's right, it's just a little different. The servant girl also came to serve the queen mother with you, Miss Cui. It turns out that although the queen mother has a soft personality, she is really a sweetheart. Lord who can't see the sand, if it was in the past, how could Mrs. Li and Wang Shanggong survive to this day?"

Forsythia's doubts have also troubled Cui Yun. Ever since Xu Wan made the Queen Mother faint, when the Queen Mother woke up again, she seemed to be a different person. However, the master will always be the master. As a subordinate, how can he talk about the master behind his back? right or wrong?
"Lianqiao, do you still remember why I let you come by my side when I was in the Shang Palace Bureau?"

Lian Qiao was stunned when she heard the words, bit her lower lip tightly and nodded.

At that time, she had just entered the palace because of her innocent and straightforward personality, so she was used as a spearman. Cui Yun couldn't bear her being used by others, so she pleaded for her and took her with her all the time. around.

At that time, the crimes she was snared were talking about her master's rights and wrongs and gossiping.But she was also used as a mouthpiece. In the end, the person who spoke first was not guilty, and the person who finally obeyed was also innocent. Only she, the messenger in the middle, was convicted.

When Cui Yun brought her back to her residence, who was dying from the beating, the first thing she told her was, "In this palace, there is a saying that you must always keep in mind. Misfortune comes from your mouth."

Cui Yun stopped her defense, "Don't you understand? Your right and wrong are not important here, what matters is what the master thinks is right or wrong. Whoever the master says is right is right; whoever says who is wrong is wrong." You are innocent, but you are not completely innocent, didn't those words come from your mouth?"

Lianqiao was rendered speechless by these words, and since then she has restrained her character and followed Cui Yun wholeheartedly to work diligently.

When Cui Yun suddenly mentioned this dark history, Lianqiao's face turned red and she became embarrassed.

"I didn't mean to embarrass you, it's just that the queen mother has indulged you too much recently, and you are a little relapsed, I just remind you a few words."

"I can pretend that I didn't hear the words you just asked me, but you have to understand that those words must rot in your stomach, and no third person can hear these words, do you understand?"

Lian Qiao nodded her head emphatically, and after a while she still did not give up and asked, "But Ms. Cui, don't you have any doubts?"

"My servant promises to ask this question only, and you can answer this question only. From now on, my maidservant will never mention these things again!" Lian Qiao swore to the sky with three fingers stretched out.

Seeing that Cui Yun's expression was a little loose, Lian Qiao hugged Cui Yun's sleeve tightly, "Miss Cui, good sister, just tell me!"

"You!" Cui Yun nodded the tip of Forsythia's nose, this dead girl has been by her side for a long time, and she is not afraid of her at all.

"It's impossible to say no. But no matter how the Empress Dowager changes, one thing will never change, that is, she is the Empress Dowager and our master."

Lianqiao blinked her eyes and didn't say anything, but Ah Ning, who came from the side, saw Cui Yun and Lianqiao were here, so she hurried over and asked Cui Yun, "I just sent away Imperial Physician Li. The imperial physician said, Supervisor Zhang I'm afraid it will take a long time to wake up, should we just let him lie down in the Palace of Eternal Light forever?"

Cui Yun sneered and said, "It just so happens that Ye Ting Prison has just vacated two seats, so let's leave one for Supervisor Zhang."

Unknown, Ah Ning looked at Lianqiao who was covering her mouth and giggling. She only went out for a trip, why there were so many things she didn't know about?

"Throw it directly to Shen Wenjin and let her figure it out."

"By the way, when you go to send Zhang to Supervisor tomorrow, you will help me pass on the Queen Mother's edict..."

After Cui Yun finished arranging the affairs, Ah Ning and Lian Qiao parted ways and went back to rest, leaving Cui Yun alone in the small courtyard. Those abnormalities that he was used to, he shook his head helplessly, turned around and went to sleep.

However, Sheng Shaoqing's scalp was numb from the history class that the system suddenly stopped. In the middle of the night, she really didn't want to hear about the trivial holidays and some childish political struggles of these ministers.

In the third year of Jingyuan, Wei Zhen didn't like the year-end evaluation given by the Ministry of Officials, so he stuffed two caterpillars into the boots of the officials in charge.

In the fifth year of Taihe, Wei Zhen misunderstood that Mr. Xu was coveting his carriage, so he beat Mr. Xu himself in the street. Afterwards, Mr. Xu asked for a private divorce. Although the specific situation cannot be verified, this Mr. Xu was promoted within three years. Five times, it says it all.

In the first year of the Taiqing Dynasty, Li Lingjiang once again petitioned for World War I. Wei Zhen again refuted his request. Li Lingjiang went home and went on a hunger strike for three days in protest. I haven't eaten a regular meal for three days, and the pre-dinner dessert, after-dinner snack, and supper at night are a complete setback.

The most high-end political struggles often use the simplest means.

After seeing Mr. Wei's "great achievements" over the years, Sheng Shaoqing added two words to Wei Zhen's evaluation: shameless.
