Wei Wuhou

Chapter 741 The Monarch Has Sorrows 3
Mrs. Xie is Wei Chengze's mother and the mistress of the Wei Palace.

But now that Mrs. Xie has been kicked out of the cold palace, although she was still noisy at first, after experiencing the lesson of Tan Ji, she has calmed down.

In the past two years, Wei Wuji hadn't heard from the other party, but today she died, on the same day as her son.

For a woman like Xie Yun who was locked in the harem, her death is not a big deal, at least compared to Wei Chengze's death.

But now that both their mother and son are dead, the nature of the matter has changed somewhat.

Before Wei Wuji was worried that people would make a fuss about Wei Chengze, but now that the mother and son are both dead, it is more likely that people will pick trouble on it.

The monarch was jealous of his brother, and killed his brother first, then his mother... If this word spread, this kind of violation of human relations would cause a huge blow to Wei Wuji's prestige.

Wei Wuji's face became gloomy, he slammed the table and said in a deep voice, "How could it be?"

How could it be... Yu Zhong couldn't answer this question, so he immediately knelt down on the ground, trembling all over.

At this time, Yu Zhong tremblingly said: "Your Majesty, there is news from the Leng Palace... Mrs. Xie committed suicide!"

At this time, after seeing the king's anger, the drumming and silk bamboo in the Changchun Garden stopped, and the dancers who had already danced in the center of the high platform stopped, kneeling on the ground like Yu Zhong and daring not to get up.

It was useless to ask other people, so Wei Wuji looked at Cao Xin and asked, "Ma'am...you know, thank you so much!"

Mrs. Xie died on the same day as Wei Chengze. No matter how you look at it, there is something tricky about it...at least there are people in the harem who are playing tricks.

Cao Xin was in command of the harem, so naturally she had to ask her if something happened.

Xie Yun died, Cao Xin was just a little surprised, the death of such a criminal woman is not a big deal.

But when Cao Xin saw Wei Wuji's gloomy face, she knew that things were not that simple, so she replied: "I don't know..."

Wei Wuji continued: "Only just now, I received the news of Wei Chengze's death, and now Mrs. Xie is also dead!"

After what Wei Wuji said, Cao Xin roughly understood the seriousness of the matter...

Cao Xin quickly said: "Your Majesty...the concubine will send people to check if there are any villains here!"

Wei Wuji was noncommittal, but said meaningfully: "Madam should also examine herself, whether she made any mistakes when she was in command of the harem!"

Wei Wuji had such an idea, which surprised Cao Xin even more than Xie Yun's mother and son died together. She didn't expect her husband to blame herself.

But sometimes, the monarch's mind is so difficult to understand, now that Wei Wuji is troubled by all kinds of troubles, it is easy to vent his anger on others as he is now.

Cao Xin knew that she couldn't justify herself, that would only make her husband dissatisfied with herself even more, so she was very obedient and said: "The concubine has done something wrong, please punish me!"

Wei Wuji was indeed very angry now, but he still wanted to take care of Cao Xin's face in front of the concubines, and said: "Okay... Madam will investigate this matter thoroughly, and give the widow an explanation as soon as possible!"

Cao Xin promised again and again, it is of course the best thing so far, if she asks further, she will lose face as Empress Wei.

Although the conversation between Wei Wuji and Cao Xin was not loud, the people below generally knew that there was an unhappiness between the husband and wife in the hall.

But at this time, no one dared to come out and chatter, otherwise it would be easy to lift a stone and shoot himself in the foot.

The entire Changchun circle was dead silent, and Wei Wuji also felt that it was meaningless at this time, so he thought of leaving.

Afterwards, Wei Wuji stood up and said: "Okay, I also watched the song and dance today...You guys continue to play, I should go back to the palace!"

Afterwards, Wei Wuji got up and left directly, and none of the concubines dared to keep them, and all of them bowed obediently to send them off.

After Wei Wuji left, everyone turned their attention to Cao Xin who was in the main position, and everything had to wait for her to arrange.

At this time, Cao Xin was no longer interested in playing, and now she was completely shrouded in the shadow of Xie Yun's death. She had to find out about this matter in order to avenge herself for being held accountable for the king.

"It's all gone!" Cao Xin said to the people below, she couldn't stay here anyway.

Although Cao Xin was very submissive in front of Wei Wuji, she was authoritative in front of these concubines. At this time, everyone knew that Empress Wei was not in a good mood, and no one would make trouble at this time.

The drum dancer was the first to retreat, and then the concubines bid farewell to Cao Xin, and within a few minutes the entire Changchun Garden became deserted.

"Ma'am..." beside Cao Xin, her confidant female officer Huanbi called out worriedly.

Cao Xin shook her head wearing a heavy phoenix crown, and then said: "Huanbi...you heard what happened just now!"

His wife was in a bad mood, so Huanbi respectfully said: "Your maidservant heard that Mrs. Xie died at this time...it's really strange!"

Regarding her right-hand assistant, Cao Xin naturally had nothing to hold back, so she said, "Wei Chengze died first, and then Xie Yun died... Someone must have tampered with it!"

Huanbi nodded, and then said: "I think it's the same for slaves... After the Xie family was ruled by the queen mother, she settled down for the sake of her son's life, and she will not seek death indiscriminately!"

"The only thing that can make Mrs. Xie lose hope and commit suicide is that someone leaked it...or just passed on the news, which made Mrs. Xie lose all hope..."

Huanbi's analysis is clear and logical, but it calms down Cao Xin who is in a mess. As long as the analysis of the matter is clear, then there will be a direction for investigation.

Standing up, Cao Xin also walked forward slowly, and said as she walked, "Huanbi, you go out with me...don't let anyone else follow you!"

…………

Walking in the secluded garden path, both master and servant Cao Xin were speechless. Just now, the two of them had made arrangements for the next investigation.

So at this time, Cao Xin was really bored, so she took a walk in the garden to relax!
Seeing his master's unhappy look, Huanbi said: "Ma'am, after ordering what should be arranged, why are you still depressed!"

Huanbi was trained by Cao Xin's mother herself, and she grew up in Cao's mansion, so she is naturally closer to Cao Xin, so only she has the courage to ask this question.

Cao Xin sighed, and then said: "I have been married to your lord for nearly nine years... I am feeling that time flies like running water!"

"The cardamom age at the beginning has become the graceful woman of today. Time has passed... many things have changed!"

These words were a bit deep, and Huanbi knew that at this time, he was only listening, not qualified to speak.

Immediately, Cao Xin said: "When we first got married... At that time, your lord was still a down-and-out son. After all, he was still marrying me after he threatened my father!"

"But at that time, I really wanted to marry him. He was the one who told me what love is...so I willingly followed him to the north!"

"Afterwards, he fought again and again, and every time I left home, I was afraid that something might happen to him... Others praised him for his reputation as Lord Wu Yang, but I only cared about his safety!"

Cao Xin's words showed long-term affection and a little sadness, which made Huanbi, who followed carefully behind her, feel deeply for it.

"I bore children for him, and I did my duty as a wife... At that time, the husband and wife were harmonious, loving, and caring for each other!"

"But when his reputation became more and more popular, I could also feel that he was getting farther away from me... It wasn't until he became the king that I realized that we were no longer husband and wife, but monarchs and ministers..."

This is a bit of a taboo, Huanbi couldn't help but reminded with worry: "Ma'am...Be careful with your words!"

Now Huanbi is a little regretful, she shouldn't talk too much to make Madam feel sorry, otherwise it won't be the case now.

But who knows, Cao Xin continued: "Yeah...you should be cautious, how many pairs of eyes are staring at Ben Gong in the palace, wanting to see Ben Gong's jokes!"

Speaking of this, Cao Xin couldn't help recalling the situation when her husband blamed her just now, and the pair of eyes staring at her below.

At this moment, Cao Xin suddenly felt very lonely and insecure...

You know, even when she was trapped in Jingbei by the Xiongnu army, she never felt this way.

Because at that time, she knew that her own he would definitely defeat the powerful enemy and came to save her!
But now...
