Crazy criticizes Emperor Ji for marrying the regent and becoming more powerful

Chapter 121 Mother and son are at odds and quarreling

After the Queen Mother presented the gifts, the birthday banquet went on in a lively manner. When it came to an end, His Majesty and the Queen Mother left the banquet together.

After seeing her, Nan Xi also left. Before leaving, she told Xia Houqi to wait for her at Tianfeng Palace and not to leave the palace yet.

Xiahou Qi was naturally obedient and went straight to Tianfeng Palace after leaving the banquet, waiting for his concubine to come back to give him compensation and rewards.

Nangong Rui, the Queen Mother and Nan Xi came to the Chengqian Palace together. It was the first time for the three of them to sit down and chat seriously.

"Father and Grandmother, today we, the three of us, grandparents, will sit down and tell all the grievances of the past, so as not to leave regrets to each other. Father and Grandmother are already sixty years old, and there are not many years left to regret. "

Nan Xi saw that neither of them planned to speak first, so she took the initiative to calm the atmosphere.

When Nan Xi mentioned that the Queen Mother was sixty years old, the touch in Nangong Rui's eyes was obvious.

"Xiao Xi'er, you don't understand what happened back then. If you know the truth, you will definitely regret that you reconciled me with the Queen Mother today." Nangong Rui sighed helplessly.

Before Nan Xi could say anything, the Queen Mother couldn't help but reply.

"Nangong Rui, after so many years, do you still not believe that the Ai family did not harm Queen Jingxian? The Ai family has never dared to admit what they have done. If you believe that the Ai family has harmed Queen Jingxian, you will Produce evidence and let the Aijia die clearly, and the Aijia will directly apologize with death!"

The Queen Mother also had a bad temper. When she heard Nangong Rui swearing that she had something to do with Queen Jingxian's death, she couldn't help but retaliate directly.

As soon as they sat down, the smell of gunpowder was so strong that Nan Xi felt that tonight's negotiation might not be so easy to proceed.

"Well, I didn't harm her. If it wasn't the Queen Mother's fault, why would Po Wen, who delivered the Queen's baby, say that she was ordered by the Queen Mother?" Nangong Rui's temper grew when he heard the Queen Mother say this, and he responded without hesitation.

"Who is spreading rumors about Ai Jia? You ask her to stand up and confront Ai Jia. She has not done anything that Ai Jia has never done. She cannot be allowed to slander like this!"

When the Queen Mother heard that someone had testified against her, she did not feel guilty at all, but felt ridiculous.

She has never done this at all, so why should she give instructions?
  "Father, is that Wen Po still there? What the Imperial Grandmother said makes sense. We can't judge that it was the Imperial Grandmother who killed the mother based on her words alone." Nan Xi couldn't help but ask.

"After I found out the truth back then, I executed that stable woman. How could I spare her life? Could it be that the queen mother knew that she would die without evidence, so she was so confident." Nangong Rui frowned and continued to doubt the queen mother.

The Queen Mother looked angry and aggrieved:

"Okay, just based on Po Wen's words, you decided that it was the Ai family's fault. What if someone bribed Po Wen and asked her to frame the Ai family? Have you ever thought about coming over to ask the Ai family? Back then, you couldn't help but say The Ai family has been grounded, and there is no place to talk about the suffering of the Ai family!"

As she spoke, the Queen Mother's eyes turned red.

If she knew that someone arranged herself like this in front of the emperor, she would definitely confront that person at that time!
  Well now, everyone is dead, even if she didn't instigate it, there is no way to redress her grievances!
  Seeing the Queen Mother being so excited, Nangong Rui and Nan Xi were both stunned.

It was Aunt Chang who stepped forward in time to appease the Queen Mother.

"The Queen Mother, please don't be angry. The imperial doctor said that you are not in good health now." Aunt Chang looked at the Queen Mother with worry and said. Then he looked at Nangong Rui, "Your Majesty, you really misunderstood the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother really did not do these things. It was true that the Queen Mother and Queen Jingxian were not at odds, but the Queen Mother had never even thought of killing Queen Jingxian. ah."

"Aunt Chang, you don't have to excuse the queen. Back then, the queen thought that the queen would not harm her, so she ate the supplements she sent with confidence. Did you know that the supplements were mixed with trace amounts of toxins, and eating them alone is not good for the body? It will have an impact, but if you eat too much, you will kill two people on the day of delivery! These are what Wen Po and the imperial doctor told me, how could it be false?" Nangong Rui couldn't help but sigh when he heard what Aunt Chang said. The tone once again made the key point clear.

"This is impossible! Those supplements were personally selected by the old slave, and the Queen Mother has never had any hands on them. Could it be that the old slave harmed Queen Jingxian?" Grandma Chang directly denied Nangong Rui's words.

When Nangong Rui heard this, he frowned:
  "Mother Chang, do you know what you are talking about? Don't bear the crime of murdering the queen just to excuse your mother."

"Your Majesty, I have watched you grow up, and you also know me well. Even if I die myself, I will not harm Queen Jingxian. So, Your Majesty, when Queen Jingxian died, what happened? What's strange is that the person behind this is deliberately driving a wedge between Your Majesty and the Queen Mother, and even killed Queen Jingxian, killing two birds with one stone!" Grandma Chang said sadly.

Nan Xi listened for a long time and finally figured out what was going on.

She couldn't help but think:
  Do both mother and son have no mouths? A misunderstanding takes so many years to resolve?

"Father, I am not trying to excuse my grandmother, but I really feel that the matter is not that simple. I don't want the real murderer who killed my mother to go unpunished, and I don't want my father and my grandmother to separate because of a misunderstanding. Please ask my father. The emperor summoned the imperial doctor who was involved in the matter, and I want to re-investigate the death of my mother." Nan Xi said to Nangong Rui sincerely.

Nangong Rui's mind is in a mess now. Although he and the Queen Mother have always had quarrels, he has great trust in Aunt Chang who has taken care of him since he was a child.

If the supplements really come from the hands of Aunt Chang, there will be no problem. It is impossible for Aunt Chang to harm the Queen!
  After Nangong Rui calmed down, he told Nan Xi what the imperial doctor and Wen Po said in person, and told Nan Xi the current whereabouts of the imperial physician. He gave Nan Xi full authority to investigate the matter and make sure to find out the death of the queen.

The Queen Mother's eyes were red and she looked tired from crying.

"Mother Chang, please help the Ai family back to the palace. The Ai family is exhausted——"

"Yes."

After saying that, the Queen Mother looked at Nangong Rui very disappointedly. She really paid by mistake.

"Mother, I."

The Queen Mother stopped and looked at Nangong Rui again.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to say anything else. Aijia believes that Di Ji will repay Aijia's innocence. I only hope that when Aijia's injustice is overturned, Your Majesty can truly trust Aijia."

The Queen Mother said these words very sadly, and after saying that, she and Aunt Chang left Chengqian Palace.

This was the first time that mother and son sat down to talk after many years, but they broke up unhappy in the end. Nangong Rui just felt exhausted.

"Father, have a good rest and give me some time. I will definitely investigate the whole story." Seeing Nangong Rui's worried look, Nan Xi couldn't help but comfort him.

"I feel very relieved that Xiao Xi'er is here. You can go investigate, but I also want to know the truth about that year."
