Cining Palace "What time is it?"
"If you go back to the Queen Mother, it's still a quarter of an hour away."
As soon as Empress Dowager Liu's voice sounded and fell, the night vigil maid sleeping in the outer hall immediately woke up, and she quickly replied to Empress Dowager Liu's words respectfully.
On the big bed behind the heavy gauza, although the Empress Dowager Liu slept for a while, she slept very lightly, dreaming of a lot of people and a lot of past events, and she wanted to struggle to wake up but was powerless.
When I finally opened my eyes, I was obviously very sleepy but there was no sleepiness at all, so I asked what time it was.
Last night, it could have been a quiet night "Call for someone to serve the mourners and get up."
"Yes."
The movements of the palace maids of the night vigil were very fast, and in less than a moment, the dormitory of the Empress Dowager Liu was brightly lit, and one by one the pink-clothed palace maids entered with their mouths for washing, in an orderly manner.
About a quarter of an hour later, the Empress Dowager Liu, who was sitting in front of the bronze mirror, had already freshened up, but no matter how much powder she used, she couldn't hide the green shadow under her eyes, and the whole person was tired.
"Queen Mother, the awakening tea is ready."
"Bring it here."
"Yes."
After drinking two cups of awakening tea, Empress Dowager Liu felt that her spirit was a little better, and then she asked the two palace maids who were waiting for her to help her walk around the hall, and she was a little more energetic.
"You, go and call Mama Zhu and Mama Tian over."
Rubbing the corners of his forehead that was faintly painful, to say that Empress Dowager Liu was actually quite afraid of dreaming of King Han after falling asleep.
It's not that she, the ruthless grandmother, obviously learned of his death, and it can even be said that she knew who was behind the scenes but didn't stand up, but she had her own considerations and never wanted to ruin her original calculations.
Even if King Han is her own grandson, what if King Han failed to have a good birth, which concubine in the harem is not good for him, why should he be born in Queen Han's belly.
Empress Dowager Liu didn't like Queen Han, and she didn't bother to do that face-saving effort, so that this matter was spread among the people.
But with Empress Dowager Liu's almost paranoid temperament, even if King Han didn't come out of Queen Han's belly, her grandmother would never like King Han.
To please Empress Dowager Liu, you must be someone who listens to her very much and can be controlled by her, and King Han is definitely not a person who can be manipulated by others, whether in terms of temperament or ability.
Yes, no matter how perfect the Empress Dowager Liu made for herself, in fact, she couldn't hide the fact that she didn't like King Han.
As for why she didn't take the initiative to take the life of King Han, in the final analysis, she was still worried about the mother-son relationship between her and Emperor Xuan, and she didn't want to push her only son further again.
Therefore, for so many years, it was clear that she was capable of preventing the Han King from being assassinated one after another, but she chose to watch from the sidelines.
A chess piece that can't be used by her and can't be at her mercy, once she gets to that position, it will completely threaten her, so how can Empress Dowager Liu be willing to only make wedding dresses for others This is like the crown prince, at the beginning, the Empress Dowager Liu really wanted to help the prince to the throne, not only because the prince was very filial to her, but also because Queen Pang had always obeyed her in front of her, but also because the Empress Dowager Liu and Queen Pang also had some blood love between the mother and son, but when Queen Pang disobeyed her, the Empress Dowager Liu decisively abandoned the prince.
As far as Empress Dowager Liu is concerned, if it can't be used by her, it should be destroyed.
"Yes."
Seeing that the palace maid was ordered to retreat, Empress Dowager Liu said again: "Help the mourning family to sit on the soft couch by the window for a while." ” If it weren't for the fact that Empress Dowager Liu still remembered that before going to sleep, she explained the matter and asked Zhu Tian's two grandmothers to handle it, with her temperament, the two grandmothers didn't come to serve her after she woke up, and she didn't know what kind of punishment she would have to suffer.
"The Queen Mother wants to have some snacks with hot tea" "I'm a little hungry after a sleep, so I'm going to watch and send some light porridge."
"Yes."
After lying on the soft couch, Empress Dowager Liu waved her hand to let the two palace maids beside her step aside, she suddenly pushed open the window, and a cold and biting cold wind blew, which immediately made Empress Dowager Liu shiver.
Feeling the raw stinging sensation of the cold wind blowing on her face, Empress Dowager Liu felt cold at the same time, her drowsy brain seemed to be clear and flexible in an instant.
Although it snowed in the second half of the night, the blizzard came suddenly, and when you looked from the window, the whole yard was covered with thick snow, and the precious trees seemed to have been carved into exquisite ice sculptures by the wind and snow.
The flowers in the garden have long been bent over by the snow, and they look very pitiful from a distance, but the proud red plum can still see a little bright red in a world of ice and snow.
"The slave and maid greet the mother, and the mother is blessed."
Mama Zhu and Mama Tian were busy doing the errand given to them by the Empress Dowager Liu last night, and finally returned to the house after being busy and had no time to lie down and rest for a while, so they saw the palace maid come to pass the word, saying that the Empress Dowager Liu wanted to see them.
The two of them didn't care about being tired, so they only took a hot bath in a hurry, changed into clean clothes, and hurried to see the Empress Dowager Liu.
"Flat."
"Slave and maid, thank the Queen Mother."
"There are two grandmothers waiting here in the mourning family, you all go down" "Yes."
Seven or eight young pink-clothed palace maids respectfully greeted the Empress Dowager Liu, and retreated to the outside of the hall in unison, and gently closed the door of the palace.
When Mama Zhu returned to the room after being busy, she looked at the hour, thought of the news she had gotten, and calculated the time when Empress Dowager Liu got up on weekdays, thinking that she could sleep lightly for more than an hour no matter what, but she never thought that the plan would not be able to catch up with the changes.
But the master has a life, and she is not qualified to refuse as a slave, even if she is tired and wants to sleep, she has to hold on.
Don't look at the many times when Mama Tian and Mama Zhu don't deal with each other, but the two of them seem to have a natural tacit understanding, and they always know when to work together and when to watch the fire from the other side.
As long as it doesn't involve her own business, Empress Dowager Liu turns a blind eye to the fight between them.
"It's bitterly cold outside, Niangniang has to take care of her phoenix body, and she can get warmer by putting on this sable cloak quickly."

After sitting in front of the open window for a while, Empress Dowager Liu also felt cold all over her body, so she said, "Put it on." ” After the sable cloak was put on, Empress Dowager Liu's cold body quickly warmed up, and her cold eyes swept over the two grandmothers who wanted to speak and stopped and seemed to know how to speak, and said coldly: "You should know what the mourning family called you to ask." ” "Yes."
The two grandmothers responded respectfully, and the moment they bowed their heads, the two seemed to agree on some agreement, first Mama Tian reported the situation to Empress Dowager Liu, and then Mama Zhu began to say what she was responsible for.
"Back to the Empress Dowager, last night, when the news of His Royal Highness King Han went down reached the ears of the Emperor of the Golden Palace and all the ministers, the news also quickly spread to the harem."
Although Mama Tian is valued by Empress Dowager Liu, she does not dare to forget her identity, and she has always been very cautious in what she says and does.
"Oh, even so, the mourning family wants to know which masters in this harem know."
"Back to the Empress Dowager's words, Concubine Yao, Concubine Xi, Concubine Qin and Concubine Ning all received the news separately."
"Lady's Lady" When Mama Tian, who bowed her head and replied, heard this, her slightly blessed body trembled reflexively, pursed her lips and said more and more respectfully: "Concubine Lin also received the news. ” "In this secluded and deep palace, I'm afraid I can't find a clean and simple woman whose hands have never been stained with blood."
Concubine Lin Shufei's impression of the harem concubines should be like a harmless little white rabbit, but such a little rabbit who has no attack power in their eyes, but his scheming methods are not inferior to them at all.
Thinking of this, Empress Dowager Liu couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and she couldn't help but wonder whether her almost desperate decision was right or wrong.
"Niangniang is now using people's tactics, since Concubine Niangniang has such scheming and means, it may not be a good thing for Niangniang."
Hearing this, Empress Dowager Liu glanced at Mama Tian angrily, pulled the corners of her mouth meaninglessly, and said coldly: "Indeed, the smarter she is, the more useful she is for the mourning family." ” Empress Pang dared to betray her, but Concubine Lin Shu never dared unless she could really give up everything.
It's just a woman like Concubine Lin Shu, how can she be willing to give up this power at her fingertips.
Otherwise, how could she climb from an inconspicuous lowly concubine to the current concubine, thinking that she would take Concubine Lin Shu under her command, but how could she not know her ability.
"Concubine Qin, Concubine Ning are all the queen's people, don't look at them as inconspicuous, but you can't relax your vigilance, and send a few more people over to keep an eye on them for the mourning family."
"Yes."
"Concubine Yao and Concubine Xi are not fuel-efficient lamps, Queen Han died back then, if it weren't for the mourning family to support Queen Pang and try their best to help her ascend to the phoenix throne, now this queen's position may belong to Concubine Yao or Concubine Xi."
Those two women are usually inconspicuous, and even Empress Dowager Liu has to be careful about many methods, otherwise she will suffer a loss.
"Once the news of King Han's departure is on the surface, they will inevitably take immediate action and arrange for a few clever points to go over, and the mourning family must know their every move, and there must be no omission."
"Yes."
"Mama Zhu, you talk to the mourning family about the situation on the queen's side."
"The slave is incompetent, please punish the mother."
When Empress Dowager Liu's eyes fell on Mama Zhu, she knelt heavily in front of Empress Dowager Liu.
"Kunning Palace strengthens the guard" "If you go back to Niangniang, we have lost contact with the eyeliner planted in Kunning Palace."
Empress Dowager Liu's eyes were gloomy, and her fingers with long armor gently tapped the teacup, and only after a while did she speak: "Get up and talk back, if she doesn't have this ability, the mourning family will doubt her purpose." ” "The guards of Kunning Palace have been strengthened, and we have lost control of the movement of Kunning Palace, will it cause losses to Niangniang's plan?"
"It's okay, you can tell me what happened to the emperor" determined the emperor's attitude, and Empress Dowager Liu could make the next step as soon as possible.
"Back to Niangniang's words, the emperor woke up from a short coma and passed two oracles, one is to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to appease the ministers until the emperor returns to the palace to go to the early court, and the other is His Royal Highness King Ming, His Royal Highness King Hua and others, and go to the Hanwang Mansion with the emperor."
"You can go with the imperial doctor."
"Back to Niangniang's words, several of the most skilled imperial doctors in the Tai Hospital have gone with me."
Hearing this, the look on Empress Dowager Liu's face became more and more incomprehensible, and she stroked her forehead, "Emperor, he really can't accept that King Han is gone." ” "Niangniang" Raising his hand to interrupt Mama Zhu's words, Empress Dowager Liu's mind is not something that anyone can mess up if they want to, "Half an hour later, it's time to go to the early court, and the emperor has returned to the palace." ” "Back to Niangniang's words, when the slave came to talk back, I received news that the emperor had just returned to the palace and had less than a pillar of incense."
"What's the situation at the Han King's Mansion?"
"If you go back to your mother, the Han Wangfu will hang up white lanterns and white flags after the emperor drives back to the palace."
In this way, the emperor should have accepted the news that King Han had gone, Mama Zhu thought in her heart.
After a moment of suppressed silence, Empress Dowager Liu also made a decision as soon as possible, "Withdraw all the people arranged in Kunning Palace, the mourning family and Empress Pang have been involved, clear the tail of the mourning family as soon as possible, and don't leave any handles." ” "Yes."
"King Han is alive and has the troubles of being alive, but when King Han is dead, the emperor will definitely not endure it anymore."
After a faint sigh, Empress Dowager Liu murmured again: "This day is about to change." ” Mama Zhu and Mama Tian glanced at each other silently, although they were a little scheming, and their brains were quite flexible, but compared to Mrs.
Liu, they were obviously not enough to see, even if there was something they didn't understand in their hearts, they didn't have the face to let Empress Dowager Liu explain to them in detail, the only thing they could do was to do a good job of the things that the master explained.
"The emperor has endured so much over the years" Shaking her head, Empress Dowager Liu put away her thoughts and said, "Tomorrow, I will go to Kunning Palace to invite the Prime Minister's wife to the mourning family." ” "Yes."
Mama Zhu didn't ask why, just do it obediently.
If Empress Pang can save herself from such a situation this time, then Empress Dowager Liu will have to prepare for the second hand.
Although Empress Dowager Liu didn't know that after dawn, Concubine Mi would enter the palace and take Mrs.
Wen away, but at this time, she asked Mama Zhu to go to Kunning Palace to invite Mrs.
Wen, and the idea was to send Mrs.
Wen out of the palace, so as to indirectly sell her personal favor to Concubine Mi.
It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven, how can Empress Dowager Liu calculate so much, and everything is as she wants.
Golden Temple The blizzard stopped, the biting cold wind still howled, the golden sunlight pierced through the thick clouds, and the dazzling glow sprinkled everything in the world.

"It seems that the ministers have no objection to my arrangement, so the matter is settled."
When the words fell, Emperor Xuan, who did not hide his anger, said again: "If there is something to play, there is nothing to retreat." ” After returning from the Han Palace, Emperor Xuan knew that the time had come for him to make a move, so in the court, as Emperor Xuan's instructions were conveyed one after another, the civil and military officials couldn't help but feel like they had been smashed by something and their heads were confused.
Even if the emperor didn't say anything after coming back, from the looks of several princes and the imperial doctors who went with them, they also vaguely knew an undeniable fact.
That is, His Royal Highness the King of Han is really dead, really gone.
The assassination of King Han has angered the emperor, and now King Han is completely dead, and the emperor has no ghost if he doesn't go crazy.
As soon as they thought of this, more than half of the ministers above the Golden Palace didn't say that their faces were bad, that is, they didn't even feel good about the whole person.
"Master Pang, do you think I should find out the real culprit behind the scenes to pay for King Han's life?"
Sensing the slightest warning from the depths of Emperor Xuan's dark eyes, Master Pang clearly realized that his successive actions had violated Emperor Xuan's bottom line.
"Your Majesty, the real culprit behind the scenes must be caught, and Weichen is just thinking about who should be sent to deal with this matter."
"Then Master Pang has a favorite candidate in his heart" Facing Emperor Xuan's deep gaze, Pang Taishi only felt as if he was being targeted by a hunter, and a layer of cold sweat couldn't help but break out on his back.
"This matter is very important, and Weichen does not dare to say anything."
"It's not that I don't believe you, it's that none of you have the ability to make me believe that you can find out the real culprit behind the scenes."
No matter what Emperor Xuan's temperament is, since he can sit firmly on this throne, he is also a person who looks like an emperor.
The imperial aura that lingers around his body is not obvious on weekdays, but when he has no intention of reining in, it is invisibly revealed, giving people a sense of oppression on Mount Tai.
"Prince of Chu Xuan" "It's okay for the emperor to ask Mo Yan to be responsible for investigating this matter, but the emperor has to give Mo Yan a helper, otherwise it may be inconvenient to act in the face of some people."
As soon as Emperor Xuan heard this, he was immediately happy, his face was not obvious, and he said in a deep voice: "As long as you can catch the murderer who killed King Han, no matter who you want to be a helper, I am allowed, and no one can object." ” "With the emperor's words, Mo Yan will be relieved."
"Your Majesty, ask to see you outside the main hall of Anping and Lejun."
The little eunuch who suddenly rushed in, his words were like stones projected into the surface of a calm lake, and there were ripples in an instant. t1706231537:
