As soon as Eunuch Xia was sent away, Grandma Li served the concubine and drank a cup of ginseng tea.

The madam gasped, shook her head and said, "It's true, it's true, it seems that that ancestor's temper will never change in his lifetime."

Aunt Li smiled and persuaded her, "Don't worry, everything will be fine. The Queen even specially sent someone to deliver news to you."

"This matter is too much for the Zhou family to talk about. If it weren't for the Queen Mother..." Thinking that the Queen Mother was involved in the matter, the Queen Mother hesitated and said calmly: "Fortunately, the Queen Mother was not involved."

How could the queen be implicated?

Princess He Rong's prestige in the court over the years was not in vain.

Before Grandma Li could say these words, Li Jianan had already come in from outside.

Seeing that Li Jian'an was wearing a sapphire blue three-clawed carp pattern embroidered with gold trim and still wet with moisture, Mrs. Tai hurriedly said: "I don't even know how to change my clothes. What if I catch a cold?"

He babbled and hurriedly asked someone to bring him new clothes.

Li Jian'an didn't refuse and followed the little maid to Nuange to change clothes.

When she came out, the lady had already dismissed everyone and was leaning on the bed.

As soon as he saw Li Jian'an coming out, he couldn't wait to ask, "How is it?"

Li Jian'an also knew that the Madam must be anxious about what happened this time, so he did not waste any time and told the Madam everything that the Emperor had decided in the court.

"Mom, don't worry. Princess Rong and Princess Rong have requested the sword given by the late emperor. The emperor issued an order this morning to ask Dali Temple to thoroughly investigate Zhou Yan's affairs, and also ordered Yushi Liang to monitor it."

This Liang Yushi had remonstrated in court as early as when the emperor's brother Jin Wang, the emperor's compatriot brother, had forcibly snatched a common girl into the palace to become a concubine, forcing the emperor to agree to sentence Jin Wang to exile in accordance with the law. This lasted for three years.

In 2001, the emperor used the pretext of preparing a birthday banquet for the Queen Mother to grant a general pardon and brought King Jin back to the capital.

But at that time, King Jin was already looking haggard and trembling when he saw people. He was no longer as bold as before.

Naturally, Mrs. Tai has heard of such a person.

As soon as Liang Yushi was mentioned, Mrs. Tai was surprised at first, and then asked: "After ordering Liang Yushi, does the emperor intend to spare Zhou Yan lightly?"

"It's not just Zhou Yan." Li Jian'an lowered his head and took a sip of tea, "During the court this morning, Liang Yushi united seven censors to impeach Jinghou for eight major crimes. I think the emperor looked very ugly.

Since we have issued an order to investigate and deal with it, we may be preparing to uproot it. The Zhou family has done a lot of things in recent years, and the emperor has mentioned it to me several times."

The madam is no ordinary woman.

Relying on the power of the Queen Mother, the Zhou family ran rampant in Beijing and no one dared to provoke her.

The emperor wanted to take action to rectify the Zhou family several times, but the queen mother stopped him. The emperor did not dare to bear the reputation of being unfilial, so he had to retreat again and again.

The lady is also aware of this.

Now hearing what Li Jianan said, the Dowager Queen also felt a little emotional, "It seems that entering the palace with Princess Rong this time gave the Emperor an excuse. In the past, the Queen Mother stopped him, and the Emperor was also afraid of those who did not know the truth and gossiped. Now

It was Princess Rong who invited the late emperor’s sword, and even the Queen Mother didn’t say anything. I just don’t know what’s going on with the Queen Mother now.”

The Dowager Mother was thinking about the friendship between her and the Queen Mother in the boudoir. Although they had drifted apart over the years for the benefit of the family, now she saw that the family home that the Queen Mother had worked so hard to maintain might collapse overnight. She also thought about the trembling in the palace.

The queen of life gives rise to a feeling of sadness when a rabbit dies and a fox dies.

Li Jian'an saw the Dowager's gloomy expression and hurriedly comforted her: "Don't worry, mother. When I go to court, the Queen has already sent word that she is still with the Queen Mother to take care of her."

"After all, the Queen Mother is the Queen Mother and the biological mother of the Emperor. How can there be an overnight feud between mother and child? It is just right for the Queen Mother to do this. When the time comes, the saved Concubine Rong will..." The Queen Mother hurriedly agreed, and then told Li Jianan, "Let's

We are not allowed to bring medicinal materials into the house. If someone tampered with her, that would be a big taboo. However, we have to go and pay greetings to the Queen Mother. I am thinking that your wife's belly is not big, so I will go to the palace with me tomorrow to have a look.

"

Li Jianan felt a little embarrassed.

This time Princess He Rong went to the Queen Mother with a sword. Although the reason was mentioned, due to Princess He Rong's face and the emperor's suppression, no one dared to ask.

But there is no airtight wall in the world.

The Queen Mother now knew that the Emperor was determined to rectify the Zhou family, and she was too anxious to worry about it. But when she came to her senses, she would probably think of finding the person who complained to Princess He Rong.

Chun Ge's visit to the princess's mansion is not a secret. Anyone who is interested can guess it with a little guessing.

Even if there is no evidence, who knows whether the furious Queen Mother will frame Chunge for the crime regardless.

When people are in the palace, the Queen Mother can do whatever she wants. A single word can kill Chun Ge, and even bring the Queen into trouble.

It was better not to go to the palace at this time. Li Jian'an thought about the telegram and decided to tell the lady everything from beginning to end. Not only did he want to dispel the idea of ​​letting Chun Ge go to the palace, but he also wanted to let the lady know these things.

You must be careful and take precautions every day.

When Mrs. Tai heard that it was actually Chun Ge who went to seek peace with Princess Rong, she was dumbfounded and looked in disbelief.

"This, how can this be so bold!"

As soon as she said the first sentence, the Madam became angry, "You are too ignorant. Even if there is a big matter, you should discuss it with us first. Just go to the eldest princess and attack her head rashly like this, in case she gets angry."

If you kill her, the news will be leaked, and you will offend the Queen Mother. I have always seen him as a worry-free child, but I didn't expect it and didn't understand the seriousness of it."

The concubine's original good impression of Chun Ge disappeared, and everything she spoke was filled with blame.

Li Jian'an listened calmly to Mrs. Tai's complaints.

After Mrs. Tai finished speaking, Li Jianan said calmly: "Mom, you can't blame her for this matter."

"Third brother, you are the head of the Li family, you can't favor someone like this!" Madam Tai looked displeased.

The attitude of Mrs. Tai was already expected by Li Jianan. When Mrs. Tai said these words, Li Jianan just frowned.

Seeing that something was wrong, Grandma Li stood aside and said, "You should calm down and listen to what the Duke has to say."

The madam finally managed to steady her breathing.

Originally, there were some things that I didn't intend to say out loud.

After all, it involves the Chen family's private affairs.

However, this situation can easily lead to misunderstandings if it is not explained clearly.

Li Jian'an weighed the importance and decided to tell the lady what happened earlier.

The lady didn't come back to her senses for a long time.

When he fully understood it, tears filled his eyes, and he choked with sobs: "It's too hard for this child." Then he talked about the eldest wife, "I also felt something was wrong about the incident at the Zao Temple earlier, and I also thought about her.

I'm so cruel. But at least I still have some doubts in my heart. When I asked you at that time, you said you didn't really find anything. I thought it was just the speculation of our mother and son. Who knows that people can really calculate every move.

.”

Li Jianan frowned willingly when he heard his wife say the word mother-in-law.

The madam didn't notice, "It's my fault too. You said you were going to send medicine to your wife at that time. I forgot about it for a moment in joy. I just let it go without thinking that anything would happen. Or because I'm older, my brain is not good.

I don’t know. Even though I don’t like that twelve-year-old girl from the Chen family, she is still a pretty girl. She was still so young, but she was assigned to the Zhou family by some strange combination of circumstances.” She was very self-blame in her words.

Li Jian'an saw that Mrs. Tai was depressed, and knew that Mrs. Tai had let go of her feelings towards Chun Ge and started to feel guilty again, so she didn't take it seriously.

Women's homes are always like this.

My mother has done a lot of decisive things in her life, but unfortunately she still has a soft heart in the end.

Over the years, Hai has become more and more fond of Buddhism, believing in Bodhisattvas and preaching about killing evil.

If there really was a God, this world would not be like this.

But I can only think about these words in my heart.

Li Jian'an couldn't directly say that the madam was asking for trouble, so he advised: "Mom, don't worry. The emperor privately promised to Princess Rong that after the Zhou family's affairs are cleared up, no matter what the charges are, he will order Zhou Yan and the others to

Together and apart."

"So what if we are together and separated?" Mrs. Tai glanced at Li Jian'an and said regretfully: "Speaking of it, the Chen family comes from a scholarly family, and the child is a concubine. It is not difficult to find a seat in the wife's house in a serious manner.

It's a pity that this time it's union and separation, and again

She only came out after the Zhou family was in trouble. I don’t know what the gossip is about outside. Even if she can find another marriage in the future, I am afraid that no one with a moderate reputation will want her to be a wife or a step-mother. I am afraid she can only be a concubine.

.”

Chen Chunyao has nothing to do with Li Jianan.

Naturally, Li Jianan didn't take it seriously to someone who had never even seen him outside, so he just hummed casually.

Seeing that he was unhappy, the wife also felt bored, so she complained: "That's all, women are pitiful, you don't understand. I am also playing the piano to a cow, so I should wait for your wife to come over and talk to her properly."

As long as Mrs. Tai is willing to get along with Chun Ge as before and not have any bad feelings towards each other, Li Jian'an will feel very happy.

Hearing that Mrs. Tai wanted to talk to Chun Ge, Li Jianan's face showed a hint of joy.

The madam couldn't help but feel a little sour when she saw this.

When a son grows up, when he meets someone he loves, he will also use his heart to protect the person he loves in front of his mother.

However, Mrs. Tai was a tolerant person after all. She was just in a daze for a moment, and then immediately discussed the rest of the matter with Li Jian'an.

Li Jian'an took the opportunity to talk about inviting the wife's family over for a gathering.

"I'm thinking that my father-in-law and the others are coming from Suinan soon. They are all relatives, and they will definitely come and go frequently in the future. Besides, the circumstances are different and the faces are different. It's better to meet first during the dust-washing banquet."

The words were very high-sounding, but the wife could not help but look at her meaningfully.

Li Jian'an was stunned by this sight.
