Chapter 128
If Xie Zhao were here at this moment and knew what Zhao Jing was thinking, he would probably spit at him, which is a pretty good idea.

Zhao Jing really had a pretty good idea.

The queen mother later told Xie Zhao that the two of them had a confrontation just now, and now they switched, and let Xie Zhao deal with the queen mother...wouldn't it be cheaper for him?

The queen mother covered her face, sobbing in a low voice, Zhao Jing tried to persuade her a few more words, but the more she persuaded, the more sad the queen mother looked.

Zhao Jing sighed in his heart.

"Come on!" He suddenly yelled, the Queen Mother was so frightened that she even forgot to cry.

"Go to Fengming Palace and bring Xie Zhao here, and let her make amends to the Queen Mother!" Zhao Jing continued to shout.

He told the queen mother just now that he wanted the queen to come to see the queen mother to plead guilty, but the queen mother stopped him.

Now, he not only said, but also shouted loudly, the queen mother was dumbfounded, thinking of the queen's appearance when she was in Fushou Palace, thinking of the way she talked to Nanny Chen, she quickly grabbed Zhao Jing's hand.

"Huang...Huanger, no!" Because of her anxiety, she stuttered.

"Mother, don't worry, I will definitely ask Xie Zhao to make amends to you today. If she doesn't comply, I will order you to punish and thank your family."

Putting his hand on the Empress Dowager's, Zhao Jing patted it lightly.

"Even if Xie Jia Erlang went to pacify the southwest tribes right now, so what? Si Lang guarded the border, so what? And Xie Jia Wu Lang, he investigated the banditry for me, what is this? No one is as important as the mother."

"Empress mother, don't worry, after dealing with Xie's family, I will put Shen's family on top. I believe that empress mother's natal family can do those things for me."

Zhao Jing looked at the queen mother with eagerness in his eyes. The queen mother's eyes widened and her mouth opened for a long time, unable to utter a word.

Seeing the queen mother like this, Zhao Jing knew that what he said just now had an effect, and the queen mother was completely calmed down.

Speaking of which, the queen mother cried for a long time just now, but her eyes were not red at all.

"Prince, don't be impulsive!" As a girl from the Shen family, the Queen Mother knows very well what her natal family is like.

Let's not talk about guarding the border, just talk about pacifying the tribes in the southwest and investigating banditry. I'm afraid the family will not be able to pick anyone out.

If the courtiers knew that the emperor cleaned up Xie's family because of him, then...wouldn't he want to leave an eternal infamy?

If... If the family knew that because of her, all the sons of the Shen family would go to the battlefield to fight, and they might never return, how could I have the face to meet my family's ancestors?
"Aijia... Aijia, Aijia is also at fault for this matter, the queen can't be blamed! Even if the queen pleads guilty to Aijia, Aijia has to make amends to her!"

She opened her mouth hastily, and at the same time ordered people to stop her, don't let anyone leave, and really go to Fengming Palace to spread the message.

"The queen mother... how do you say this?" Zhao Jing knew that there must be something tricky in it, so he asked the queen mother calmly.

"Yes...it's Mother Chen, she always came to talk to Ai's family before, you...you are an emperor, but you only favor the queen, this heir is so scarce, how can Ai's family not be in a hurry?"

"That's why Mother Chen gave the Ai family an idea to add new people to you, and the Ai family agreed. Who would have thought that Mother Chen would pick a woman who looks a bit like the queen to be your harem..."

The Empress Dowager dared not hide anything, she told the whole story, but she put everything on Nanny Chen and took herself clean.

"The empress cares about Ai's family, and specially invited the imperial physician. Ai's family is really not feeling well recently, and her eyes are not very easy to use. Otherwise, today's incident would not have happened."

"So Huang'er, it's better not to go to the queen, otherwise,...the queen mother is so old, it's not appropriate to apologize to the younger generation."

The Empress Dowager was very embarrassed with a smile on her face. She began to regret that she shouldn't have come to complain to Huang'er.

Or, she shouldn't have acted impulsively when Mammy wasn't with her.

If Mammy was by her side, she would definitely persuade her.

Thinking of this, the Empress Dowager blamed Nanny Chen more and more. It was her who caused her to send Nanny to follow her, and these things happened now.

"So that's how it is." Zhao Jing raised his eyebrows, daring to find a woman who resembled Xie Zhao, and it was already a kindness for her to send Nanny Chen out of the palace.

"Since the mother knows that she is also at fault, then let's forget about it." This is the best result.

Zhao Jing talked to the Queen Mother again, and finally sent her away.

Sitting on the chair, Zhao Jing let out a heavy breath.

"Come here!" He ordered, Jiang Hai was not here at the moment, and went to investigate the matter secretly.

Soon, someone from the palace came in from outside the palace.

"Tell the people below to shut up. If the words I shouted just now are spread, none of you will be able to escape!"

This matter should be done by Jiang Hai, but he is not here, just in case, Zhao Jing said fiercely.

The palace servant couldn't help shaking, and hurriedly saluted Zhao Jing and retreated outside the palace.

-

"Your Majesty, this servant personally led people to investigate and found a little maid. According to the little maid, she passed by this road when she was fetching water today, and accidentally sprinkled water on the road."

"Due to haste, nothing was done to deal with it. The palace man who lived with her confirmed that she only brought back half a bucket of water."

"Which palace? Why do you need to go outside to fetch water?" In the harem, although not every palace has a well, there has always been a dedicated person to fetch water.

In addition, each palace will have a place to store water, not only for daily use, but also for water in times of crisis.

Therefore, the water tanks in each palace will not be short of water most of the time, at least there is no need for people in the palace to go outside to fetch water.

"Hui Niangniang, she is a palace maid of Yuexian Palace." Xiao Yun replied again. "Although there are water tanks in every palace, it is clearly stipulated that the water used in times of crisis cannot be used at will in daily life."

"Since Yuexian Palace has lost its master, the palace people responsible for fetching water will inevitably be negligent from time to time, so..."

Xiao Yun didn't say what happened next, but Xie Zhao understood.

The palace people were negligent, because there was no water in Yuexian Palace, the palace people had to go out to fetch water by themselves, and just sprinkled the water on the road and it froze.

Her soft sedan passed by that road, and the palace man who carried it accidentally stepped on it, and almost fell her.

"Pass down my palace's order to add some hard-working money to the palace people who are responsible for fetching water. It's really hard work in this cold winter."

"As for the palace servants who dereliction of duty, this time they will only be reprimanded. If there is another time, they will be punished with ten sticks and sent to the court for handling."

After receiving the order, Xiao Yun saluted and responded, and went to do things according to the order.

On the other side, Jiang Hai, who had inquired about the news, returned to Zhao Jing.

The queen mother had confessed before, so Zhao Jing already knew the whole story, and Jiang Hai's report was just a little addition, and the overall difference was not big.

"Your Majesty, when the servant came back, I heard that the empress almost fell on the way back to Fengming Palace..."

Reporting the new news I got, "The empress sent Xiao Yun to investigate and found a little palace maid..."

 Zhao Jing: I feel a little guilty.
