Celebrating more than two years of peace in the world

Chapter 86
In the recent deep palace of the Qing Dynasty, it can be regarded as quiet for several months. At this moment, the moonlight is shining on the gravel road of the palace. The guards have a trace of fatigue on their resolute faces. , scanning every corner.

The queen mother did not rest. What was unprecedented was that His Majesty the emperor did not sit and read in the imperial study tonight, but went to the harem to accompany his mother and queen to enjoy the flowers.

"What's the matter? Do you miss your stepmother?" The Queen Mother asked, looking at His Majesty the Emperor.

The emperor smiled, "My stepmother and I have a deep affection, of course I miss it very much, but due to various reasons, the stepmother is not allowed to spend her old age in the deep palace, so the two places are separated."

"You don't mean to call it back?" The queen mother closed her eyes and asked calmly.

The emperor looked at the queen mother's face, and was fiddling with the tea set in front of him. There were twenty or thirty court ladies and eunuchs standing around, leaning on the side with their heads lowered. , The queen mother closed her eyes, but he didn't open them either.

After thinking about it, the emperor said, "I have already sent someone to do it. After returning, I don't live in the palace, but I live in Fan Jian's Shangshufu."

"There's a reason for that, and we'll add Tiger Guard to that kid Fan Xian, right?" the queen mother said.

The emperor turned his face slightly and looked at the queen mother, "The queen mother is dissatisfied with Fan Xian?"

"Not really." The Queen Mother let out a sigh of relief, "It's just that the Ai family thinks that this kid's growth rate is a bit fast. He is neither a royal family member nor an important minister, but you just gave him all the way It's all well laid out, Aijia doesn't care about such behavior, but the people below are so dissatisfied."

The emperor stood up, looked at the bright moonlight, and suddenly asked, "Eunuch Hong has been out of the palace?"

Hong Sixiang immediately covered the mud on his feet, but obviously the emperor had seen through it, so he replied in a low voice, "This slave is out of the palace on business, and he just came back not long ago."

"Ah..." The emperor understood and didn't ask further.

After a moment of silence, the voice of speaking appeared again.

"It's New Year's Eve in spring this year, call Yun Rui back." Suddenly, the queen mother said such a sentence, but the emperor's expression did not show any emotion at all. It seemed that he had known for a long time that the queen mother was going to say this sentence Meaning, now that I have said it, there is nothing unexpected about it.

After a moment of silence, seeing that the emperor did not speak, the Empress Dowager added, "It's all my son. I've been away for too long. Ai's family is getting old now, and I miss it very much..."

"Aijia is tired..." After saying this in a low voice, the emperor left the place without saying a word, and walked straight to the long corridor without looking back once.

Although the Queen Mother was displeased, she didn't say anything. She murmured, "It seems that I have agreed to it by not saying anything."

"Your Majesty has considered it carefully, but he still hasn't disobeyed the Queen Mother. He must have agreed." Hong Sixiang who was standing aside said.

"Is that thing done safely?" The queen mother opened her eyes and looked at Hong Sixiang.

Hong Sixiang nodded, "When the letter was sent out, the servant went out with the messenger. The messenger was once a housekeeper of the Fan Mansion in Danzhou City. Later, because of something wrong, Mrs. Fan He broke his legs and threw him on the fishing boat, but he didn't lose contact with Concubine Yigui, instead he was being manipulated all the time. After seeing this man, the servant threw himself into the lake, seeing that he was dead, and then left .”

"Okay, where's Concubine Yigui?" the queen mother asked.

"Waiting in your bedroom, never leaving." Hong Sixiang replied.

The queen mother nodded.

Then there was a shout, "Queen Mother! Get out!"

"Back to the palace!"

"Crack!" When Hong Sixiang hit Concubine Yigui's face with his hand, the concubine didn't support her and fell to the ground. After a scream, she straightened up with tears on her face, covered her face, and looked at the Queen Mother. .

The queen mother took a sip of tea gently, her old-fashioned face was full of calm, she turned her head to look at Concubine Yigui in front of her, and continued to ask, "This is the last time the Ai family will ask you, what is your relationship with that housekeeper?"

Seeing that she couldn't hide anymore, Concubine Yigui could only survive if she spoke out.

She knelt on the ground and said loudly, "Queen Dowager, report back to Queen Mother, that person is the concubine's former confidant!"

"What are you doing in Fan Mansion in Danzhou City?" the queen mother continued to ask.

Concubine Yigui's eyes were a little evasive, she lowered her head and said tremblingly, "Return...report to the Queen Mother, it's... used to frame...frame Fan Xian!"

"You don't know, he is Wan'er's husband? Why is that so?" The Queen Mother was clearly angry.

"I...precisely...precisely because I know that he...he is Wan'er's husband, that's why my concubine wants...that's why!" Concubine Yigui seemed desperate, she looked at the queen mother and said sharply, "The first time I wanted to kill Fan Xian directly, one reason was because he was going to take over the internal treasury. I was entrusted by His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess to send people into Fan's Mansion in Danzhou City to kill Fan Xian."

"The second time, what Fan Xian did in the Baoyue Tower in the capital city is known all over the world. He and the concubine's children are already in a state of death, and the concubine's children hate him to the bone! If this person does not die, if he succeeds, he will take over. The Overwatch Council and the Internal Treasury will do great harm to the concubine's children in the future!"

After finishing speaking, Concubine Yigui let out a deep breath, panting heavily, looked at the Queen Mother, and dared not say a word again.

The Empress Dowager looked at Concubine Yigui indifferently, and after a long silence, she said slowly, "If you dare to get involved in matters outside the harem and meddle in government affairs in the future, the Ai family will definitely let you experience the punishment of the harem! You can Know?"

"The concubine knows! The concubine knows! The concubine doesn't dare! I hope the queen mother will forgive me! This concubine is also eager to love her son, so I have to do it!" Yigui said.

Only then did the Queen Mother nodded, "Don't worry, I will guarantee that you and the Third Prince will not be swayed by Fan Xian."

"Concubine... Concubine complies with the order!" Concubine Yigui hurriedly fled, she hurriedly exited the Queen Mother's bedroom, followed two maidservants, and then returned all the way back to her bedroom.

In the bedroom, she sent everyone away, and took out a letter from her cuff. Everything said in the letter was exactly the same as what she said to the Queen Mother just now. She saw no one around, Immediately, he threw the letter into the hand-warming stove beside him.

The fire is soaring into the sky, and the light is shining.

The Overwatch Council's mark disappeared into the flames.

The last thing that burned was the word Fan Xian.

The dull eyes flickered on Concubine Yigui's face, and it took a while before she smiled.
