Aijia Kefu: Your Majesty, please avoid

Chapter 65
A bad premonition gradually emerged in Su Yi's heart.

Lu Li smiled and looked towards the door: "Mother, everyone is waiting for you."

The hall door opened, Su Qingyuan hugged Lu Junnuo, walked in slowly, and said with a sneer: "There are hundreds of people inside and outside Yande Hall, are all of them blind? Can't even look after a child?"

"Mother, it was Jun'er who slipped out by himself, it's none of the emperor's business!" Lu Junnuo hugged Su Qingyuan's neck, crisp and authentic.

Su Qingyuan raised her hand and knocked on the little guy's forehead, bent down and put him down: "Kowtow!"

Lu Junnuo ran to the altar on two short legs, kowtowed three times, and then turned to Lu Li: "Jun'er is not good, the mother has already scolded me, brother, don't punish me!" ?”

"This is not an example." Lu Li stretched out his hand and pulled him up.

Su Qingyuan frowned: "Is there someone like you who is the eldest brother? Good boy, I was spoiled by you!"

Lu Li cupped his hands to her, and said with a smile, "Jun'er is still young, it's not a crime to be naughty and playful. If the queen mother is angry, I'm willing to be punished on Jun'er's behalf."

Luo Xia followed in from the outside, and said with a smile: "Queen Dowager, calm down, the prince didn't sneak out just for fun, do you really have the heart to punish him?"

Su Qingyuan sighed, with a helpless expression on her face: "Forget it, you all have to be good people, and leave the role of the big white face to the Ai family to sing alone, and the Ai family will not be fooled by you!"

"Thank you, Queen Mother!" Lu Junnuo smiled.

Su Qingyuan looked around the hall with a smile, her eyes fell on Xiaozhi, her face immediately sank: "Xiaozhi? Why are you here?"

Xiaozhi was already frightened when Su Qingyuan came in, but at this moment her eyes were still straight and her expression was in a daze: "The Empress Dowager..."

Su Qingyuan's eyes widened and her face was full of anger: "Just now in the cemetery, Concubine Shu was looking for you everywhere, and she was so anxious, so you slipped back by yourself first! The servant served the master on a trip, but left him on the way Run away by yourself, whose rule is this?"

"I..." Xiaozhi still couldn't answer.

Su Qingyuan immediately turned around and shouted to Xiao Linzi: "Take a group of people to the underground palace to invite Concubine Shu back, and tell her that her servant has been found, so she doesn't have to blow the cold wind outside!"

"Mother, don't worry, I have already sent someone to look for it near the underground palace." Lu Li smiled calmly.

Su Qingyuan's face softened a little: "Fortunately, the emperor has the foresight. Concubine Shu is weak and timid. If she gets lost in the cemetery, it's good to be frightened!"

"It's not that I have the foresight." Lu Li narrowed his eyes slightly, "Just now someone broke into the palace and said convincingly that the queen mother committed suicide by taking poison in front of the dragon-breaking stone in the underground palace!"

"Oh?" Su Qingyuan lowered her head and glanced at Xiao Zhi, then her gaze returned to Lu Li: "Someone said that Ai's family committed suicide, do you believe it?"

Lu Li's expression was a little embarrassed: "My son is concerned, but he is confused. He didn't notice it for a while, and almost made a joke. I also asked my mother to punish me."

Su Qingyuan let out a sneer, and her eyes glanced at Su Yi's face intentionally or unintentionally: "I'm afraid it may not be you who 'didn't notice for a while', but some people who 'pained hard'? In the past month, Fanghua Palace The assassins caught can't be counted on one hand, is there anything in Aijia's mind that he doesn't understand?"

"What did the queen mother understand?" Lu Li immediately asked cooperatively.

Su Qingyuan sneered, and then glanced at Su Yi, who was beside her with a livid face.

The latter put his heart on the line, and took a step forward: "My minister Su Yi, see the Queen Mother."

Su Qingyuan raised her eyebrows slightly: "What is General Su doing here? Is he going to preside over the ceremony with the emperor?"

"The queen mother is joking. Such a crime of treason and injustice, I can't afford it." Su Yi said, and gave Su Qingyuan a warning look.

Su Qingyuan showed a smile on her face: "The Ai family was just making a joke, why should the general get angry? Ai's family came a bit late just now, presumably the general is discussing important matters with the emperor, right? It's a pity that the Ai family is inconvenient to ask about political affairs, otherwise I really want to hear it , what important matter can’t be said in the court hall, but you want to come here to disturb the soul of the late emperor?”

Xue Li, the envoy of Chongzheng, took a step forward, cupped his hands and said: "What General Su said just now is not a matter of state affairs, it's no harm for the Empress Dowager to listen to it."

"Xue Qing!" Lu Li's face darkened.

Su Yi was already standing in front of Su Qingyuan, but now he simply took a few steps forward, almost standing next to her.

Su Qingyuan wanted to back away subconsciously, but Su Yi lowered her voice and said quickly: "You can't hide the fact that you are pregnant, Xue Li wants to put the hat of dirty palace on your head! For father I tried my best to protect you just now, but the situation is still not good. Once the charges are proven, the Su family will probably be buried with you! Yuan'er, now you have to insist that you were raped by Lu Li, so that you have a chance of survival!"

"It seems that my father is still obsessed with it until now." Su Qingyuan sneered.

"Yuaner!" Su Yi's face was ugly.

Su Qingyuan looked at him coldly, and also lowered her voice: "Father, from the moment you decided to kill me, I have already given up on the Su family."

"Yuan'er, what nonsense are you talking about? How could I..." Su Yi was a little annoyed.

At this time, Xue Li bowed his hands to Su Qingyuan again: "Queen Mother, it is too late for you to make a confession with General Su! At this moment, the heroic spirit of the late emperor is here, the soul of Lie Sheng is not far away, and all the adults are witnesses. Please make it clear, Queen Mother——who does that evil seed in your belly belong to?"

Just as Su Qingyuan was about to answer, Su Yi lowered her voice and said hastily: "You have to think clearly! Xue Li is Lu Li's man, but he has no intention of protecting you, don't you understand! You seduce the guards to mess up the palace. Lu Li sent people to spread the rumors, are you still obsessed with it!"

Su Qingyuan shook her head slowly, and said in a deep voice: "No, I don't agree."

"Queen Mother, what do you 'not agree' to?" Xue Li immediately asked from the sidelines after hearing this sentence.

Su Qingyuan turned around, gave him a cold look, walked slowly to the altar and stood still: "When you two groups are biting each other in the hall, the Ai family will naturally have nothing to do with you; Biting the spirit of the late emperor, the Ai family didn't dare to say a word. It's just - you bit yours, what are you doing with the Ai family? You are so slanderous, fabricating lies to shame the late emperor, is this also the nature of a courtier? points!"

Su Yi knelt down heavily, and wailed: "Queen Mother, the matter has come to this point, there is no point for you to bear it any longer! You are the one who was persecuted and humiliated, but they want to blame you for all the crimes." You poured all the sewage on your body, and you still want to protect that villain! You always said that you forbear and keep silent for the sake of the stability of the world, but when the villain persecuted you, how did you ever think about the stability of the world! Disobedient and humiliating mother , the gods are not blessed, the world of the Nanyue Dynasty is no longer stable for you to endure humiliation, wake up—”

Su Qingyuan laughed "heh" and knelt down facing the spiritual seat.

Su Yi immediately stopped wailing.The skeptical group of officials also calmed down instantly, watching the show nervously with their breath held.

Su Qingyuan raised her head and smiled faintly: "Xiandi, have you seen it? After you left, what kind of ghost has this Nanyue court hall become! I don't know what I did wrong, they all want to be forced to die I... I'm not afraid to go down to accompany you, but if I die now, the stigma will never be cleared away! I am your queen, and they even slandered me for being pregnant with someone else's bastard... They are scolding you , calling you an old turtle with green hair, did you hear that? Don’t you care? Are you just watching your queen being bullied..."

As soon as she said "Xiandi", tears rolled down her eyes.After that, he talked more and more and cried more and more, and finally knelt down on the ground, crying choked up.

When the officials saw her crying, they couldn't help feeling a little sympathetic.

Lu Junnuo ran over and knelt down beside Su Qingyuan, and cried out with a "wow": "Royal father, they all bully the queen mother, and there are villains who want to kill the queen mother and frame her by pretending to commit suicide. Brother, the maids and eunuchs in the Fanghua Palace dare not sleep a wink at night... If you don't come back, sooner or later the queen mother will be killed by them!"

"Jun'er, it's cold on the ground, help your mother first and then get up." Lu Li ordered coldly from the side.

Lu Junnuo raised his head and looked at him with wide eyes: "I can't help you! Why don't you help yourself? You are afraid that others will speak ill of you, so you would rather let your mother be wronged, right?"

Lu Li hesitated for a while, then leaned down and helped Su Qingyuan up with both hands: "My queen, please be at ease. I believe that all officials in the court are not blind, and they should make their own judgments. Today... is the time to return You are fair."

Just as he finished speaking, Xiao Luzi suddenly rushed in and whispered something in Lu Li's ear.

Lu Li said in a deep voice, "Bring it in."

The officials looked at the door in surprise, but they saw Xiaoluzi rushing out quickly, and then came in with Danyue carrying the unconscious Su Qingluan.

"What happened to Concubine Shu?" Lu Li frowned.

Danyue knelt down and cried: "The Queen Mother and Concubine Shu were watching Weng Zhong at the gate of the underground palace, but the twigs following Concubine Shu suddenly disappeared, and the Queen Mother was anxious to come back, so she ordered her slaves to serve Concubine Shu, unexpectedly Mistake, Concubine Shu has disappeared... The servants were so frightened that they didn't dare to disturb others, and after looking for more than half an hour, they finally saw the concubine in the underground palace, and then the father-in-law Xiaolu came..."

"You're lying!" Xiaozhi raised his head and hissed angrily.

Danyue turned pale with shock: "Xiaozhi? Why are you here? At the beginning you were obviously with Concubine Shu, why did you disappear when you arrived at Weng Zhong's place?"

Xiaozhi's face was as white as paper, she could only shake her head, but she couldn't even utter a word.

Su Yi stood up with a "huh" and shouted angrily: "According to what you said, you were the only one following Concubine Shu afterwards? If so, how do you prove that Concubine Shu's coma was not caused by you?"

Danyue held her head high, without any fear: "The general is wrong to say that! The whole thing started because the twigs disappeared first! If you later find that the twigs were distracted or restrained, you can The suspicion is that I, or even the queen mother, used some shady means, but now Xiaozhi has arrived at the Yande Hall before all of us! If a normal servant knew that the master was in danger, shouldn't he fight to the death to protect the master? How could she Will she run away by herself? Take a step back and say, if Xiaozhi escaped from my hands by chance, she should be here to sue the emperor for rescue, right? My lords present, how long has Miss Xiaozhi been kneeling in the hall? Did she mention that I, Danyue, murdered Concubine Shu?"

All the ministers frowned together, feeling a little confused about the situation for a while.

Su Qingyuan tapped on the altar table, and pondered: "What Xiaozhi brought back means that Aijia committed suicide before the dragon-breaking stone in the underground palace, and now Concubine Shu just happened to be unconscious in the underground palace... Could it be that someone wanted to murder Aijia in the underground palace, but Accidentally killed Concubine Shu by mistake?"

"Xiao Linzi, hurry up and tell the imperial physician, Concubine Shu may be poisoned!" Luoxia immediately ordered loudly.

Su Qingyuan walked over quickly, hugged Su Qingluan and cried: "It's all my fault! If I had been more patient with you instead of rushing back alone, if I hadn't let Danyue follow you, maybe they wouldn't have made a mistake—" —It was me they wanted to kill!"

Luoxia supported her arm, weeping and said: "Empress Dowager, don't blame yourself. If you hadn't rushed back for the ceremony, the ones who fell in front of the Broken Dragon Stone would probably be you and Concubine Shu! If something happened to you , even if there is a huge injustice, there will be no chance to justify it!"

"Who wants to harm me like this?" Su Qingyuan looked at her blankly.

Lu Li's expression was gloomy: "Then we have to ask who Xiaozhi belongs to!"

Danyue sneered: "Xiaozhi entered the General's Mansion when she was ten years old and has been serving Concubine Shu till now. She is naturally Concubine Shu's person! As a slave, colluding with outsiders to do such a cruel thing to the master is simply a crime that cannot be punished! "

Xue Li squinted his eyes and thought for a long time, then said in a cold voice: "I'm afraid it's not as simple as an evil slave deceiving the master? This servant has served Concubine Shu for six or seven years. Naturally, she belongs to Concubine Shu, but who can say that she Isn’t he a member of General Su?”

Duke Dingguo twitched his beard and said, "There is absolutely no reason for a personal maid to admit the wrong master. Unless..."

Xiaoluzi immediately continued: "The slave carefully looked at the ground in the underground palace. Before the slave brought people in, there were already many fresh footprints inside - Xiaoyingzi roughly counted, there should be two women and at least five men. Appeared in the underground palace!"

Lu Li helped Su Qingyuan sit down on the chair beside the altar, stood up straight and said coldly, "There are only two women, so of course they are Concubine Shu and Danyue who went in later. Xiaozhi has never entered the underground palace, but Running to the Yande Palace to write slanderous words and disturbing the audience, his heart is to be punished! Come, someone, drag this unscrupulous slave down, and torture him!"

"Your Majesty, this servant has been wronged, Danyue is lying, and the Queen Mother is lying!" Xiaozhi panicked.

"Useless maidservant!" Su Yi suddenly raised his hand and slapped Xiao Zhi's face heavily.

In his rage, he slapped very hard.Xiaozhi's neck tilted, and she passed out.

Xue Li sneered and said: "The truth is already clear, so what's the point of interrogation? Even if you ask a few servants who are ordered to do things, what's the use? Just now, when the maid was talking nonsense, who was singing with her and pouring dirt on the emperor?" Isn’t the water clear at a glance? General Su, you have nothing to say right now, right?”

Su Yi just glared at Su Qingyuan, ignoring Xue Li's questioning.

Duke Ding kept twirling his beard. The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, so he quickly winked at Lu Li.

But Lu Li didn't look at him.

At this time, Xiao Linzi came over with Doctor Yu.

Su Qingyuan subconsciously wanted to stand up.Lu Li lightly tapped on the back of her chair twice: "My queen, be safe."

Imperial Physician Yu checked Su Qingluan's pulse, and knelt down with a "plop": "Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations, Your Majesty!"

Lu Li frowned: "Are you sure you want to congratulate me in the imperial mausoleum?"

Imperial Physician Yu shuddered, kowtowed and said: "My minister made a mistake... But, Concubine Shu is pregnant with a dragon's heir, and the saints are alive in heaven, so they must rejoice with His Majesty!"

A look of joy flashed across Lu Li's face: "Really?"

"It's absolutely true!" Imperial Physician Yu said very firmly.

Su Qingyuan tugged at her sleeve, and asked in a deep voice, "Why is Concubine Shu unconscious?"

Imperial Physician Yu hurriedly said: "It's because of a very heavy dose of drugs, and I'm afraid I will be unconscious for a while, so there is no need for the Empress Dowager to worry."

Lu Li raised the corners of his lips, his face full of joy: "Concubine Shu must have been a little frightened today, after you return to the palace, prepare some medicines for calming the mind and health and send them to Yanxi Palace as soon as possible - I will reward you very much!" Imperial Physician Yu thanked her Well, just about to retreat, Su Yi suddenly stepped forward to stop him: "Wait a minute! Sirs, do you still remember what the old man said earlier?"

"You made so much nonsense before, who wants to remember your nonsense!" Xue Li said bluntly.

Su Yi didn't seem to be angry either, and said loudly to the ministers: "If you don't remember, I will say it again - the faint king forced Concubine Shu to enter the palace in order to hide the evil in the empress dowager's belly! Concubine Shu has almost no favor after entering the palace. , Where did the dragon fetus come from? This is clearly a case of Li Daitao's stiffness, and it should be our queen mother who is really pregnant!"

"General Su, are you questioning the doctor's medical skills?" Imperial Physician Yu was not happy.

Su Yi sneered back: "The old man didn't question your medical skills - what the old man questioned was your medicine!"

Su Qingyuan sighed for a long time: "General Su, turn around and be right."

Su Yi laughed loudly, turned around and stared at her coldly: "You did a good job! You keep defending that stupid king. Could it be that he didn't force you, but you voluntarily hooked up with him? If this is the case, the old man is considered unfortunate for his family to raise such a shameless and rebellious daughter like you!"

Xue Li drooped his eyelids, and said coldly: "What are you arguing about now? Now that the imperial physician is here, wouldn't you understand everything after taking a pulse?"

Su Qingyuan patted the altar, and stood up with a "huh": "The Ai family is the queen who was awarded the gold book by the first emperor, how can she be humiliated by the group! If you want to get a pulse, why don't the Ai family do a laparotomy for you on the spot! "

Xue Li pulled out a long sword from the waist of a guard next to him, and held it up with both hands: "Since the queen mother has this intention, please do so. If it is proved that the queen mother is innocent, I am willing to kill myself and be buried in order to redeem this moment." Guilty of insolence and offense.”

No one expected this to happen.

Su Qingyuan slowly raised her hand, took the sword over, and sneered, "You alone, I'm afraid you're not worthy to be buried for Ai's family!"

After that, she clumsily raised the long sword, pointed the tip of the sword at her lower abdomen, and stabbed heavily——

Isn't it just a gamble?She will too!

"Mother!" Lu Li quickly reached out and grabbed her wrist.

Su Qingyuan raised the corners of her lips, and smiled at him coolly: "You know, if you stop them, you will be accused of accusing them of accusing them!"

Lu Li grabbed the sword from her hand and threw it on the ground forcefully, "None of my pillars are blind!"

The sound of the iron sword falling to the ground was sharp and piercing, and it rang for a long time.

All the ministers woke up like a dream, and hurriedly knelt down together: "Please calm down, Queen Mother!"

Su Qingyuan sat back slowly, put one hand on the altar, and propped her forehead: "Chongzheng envoy, who gave you the courage to bet your own life rather than slander Aijia?"

Xue Li frowned and was speechless for a moment.

He didn't expect that he would lose to a woman in the aspect of "gambling hard".

Su Qingyuan didn't wait for Xue Li's answer, so she shifted her gaze to Su Yi: "General Su, your kindness in nurturing, as a daughter, I will never forget it, but... for framing the current emperor, forgive me." I can't do it. If you plead guilty now, Aijia can protect you from death; if you are stubborn..."

"Who is obsessed with obsession, you know in your heart!" Su Yi put his hands behind his back, confronting each other.

Lu Li let out a long sigh of relief, and knelt down in front of Su Qingyuan.

Su Qingyuan immediately sat up straight.

All the ministers even took a deep breath.

In front of the empress dowager, the emperor did not need to kneel even though he wanted to be called a "subject".

Unless, there is a mortal sin.

Lu Li supported Su Qingyuan's sleeve, and said with a heartbroken voice: "My son is incompetent, and I am deeply ashamed that my mother suffered from rumors. If my mother wants to punish me, my son will have no complaints, it's just... such an astonishing act just now. Mother, please don’t do it again. If the mother kills herself in front of me and all the officials, let the sons and ministers have what face to be the king of the world, and let the group of ministers have what face to be the model of the people! The mother is the mother of the world, Fengyi Tianxia, You must not underestimate your status, otherwise the people of the world will hardly have a foothold!"

Su Qingyuan closed her eyes and was silent for a long time, then sighed: "Get up—get up."

Lu Li stood up, and the officials hurriedly followed suit, with solemn expressions on everyone's faces.

Su Qingyuan put her hands on the altar, and sighed: "The Ai family was only angry for a while, and didn't mean to blame the emperor or you—Physician Yu, come and take a pulse."

"This... I dare not." Imperial Physician Yu was a little apprehensive.

"You should take the Ping An pulse. If you find out something, just say it." Su Qingyuan taught him calmly.

Imperial Physician Yu stepped forward to check the pulse, and said tremblingly: "The queen mother is in good health, and there is no disease."

Su Yi let out a sneer: "Of course, he wouldn't dare to say anything even if the diagnosis was made! The old man had a cold these two days, and before he left, he brought over a doctor who is often used by the general's mansion—how dare the queen mother ask him to have a pulse diagnosis?" ?”

Before Su Qingyuan could answer, Xue Li stood up again: "Before going up the mountain, I saw a medical clinic at the foot of the mountain. The doctor has white beard and hair, and looks like a fairy. Have a private doctor make a diagnosis?"

Lu Li's face was gloomy: "You guys... are too presumptuous!"

Su Qingyuan tapped on the altar, and said calmly: "It seems that all the adults have put in a lot of effort! I just don't know, after today's song is over, how many good shows are there waiting for Aijia?"

Xue Li clasped his fists in both hands, and said loudly, "Don't worry, Queen Mother, if you prove your innocence today, the ministers will definitely respect you from now on, and you will never have any doubts!"

"What a loyal envoy who is not afraid of death!" Su Qingyuan sneered mockingly.
