Queen's scheming

Chapter 315

Tang Zihan and Xiao Anzi galloped all the way, neither of them had time to say a word.

When they arrived at the Fuguo Duke's Mansion, a steward led the two of them to the inner courtyard. Because of the distance, Xiao Anzi secretly asked Tang Zihan, "Young General Tang, there is no danger if we come this way. ?”

Tang Zihan turned his head away, a little stunned, and then said in a low voice: "If you notice something unusual all of a sudden, don't make a sound, just pretend you didn't see it, just observe carefully, and report back to the emperor to know, if you find something unusual It’s best to hold something in your hand, if you can’t, don’t force it!”

Xiao Anzi looked serious, and nodded heavily!
The two of them came to the main courtyard of Fuguo Duke's Mansion. They thought they would hear crying or wailing, but they didn't know that it was so quiet. When they took a closer look, an old lady in a maroon coat was sitting upright. In the main hall, with a cold face, he looked at everyone, the first two rows of chairs and stools were full of people.

Both Tang Zihan and Xiao Anzi were used to seeing people, they stepped forward to salute and said, "I (our family) greet the old lady!"

Among the people in Fuguogong's mansion, only the old lady of Fuguogong can use them to salute, and the others are not qualified to do so!

The old lady opened her mouth lightly and said, "Let's get up, both of you!"

Tang Zihan glanced around for a week, and said in a deep voice: "The emperor got the news and couldn't control his grief. He wanted to come to Fuguogong's mansion in person to see the old duke for the last time, but it was already a child, and it was inconvenient to leave the palace. Come over with Eunuch An and see if there is anything that can help the old lady!"

The old lady nodded. She has gone through two dynasties, how could she not know Tang Zihan's words? It's not that it's inconvenient for the emperor to go out of the palace late at night, but it's inconvenient for the emperor to go out of the palace to Fuguo's mansion. The Fuguo's mansion has not been stripped of its master's title. Everyone has become a commoner, and the resentment towards the emperor is not insignificant. No one can say what will happen to the emperor when he comes to Fuguo Gongfu.

In addition, the old man of the old country died strangely, the emperor was worried, and specially ordered people to inspect it.

Before the old lady could speak, the son of Yuanfu Guogong opened his mouth and said, "I also invite Young General Tang and Eunuch An to drink tea and rest for a while. My father has nothing to help here!"

Tang Zihan glanced at Yuan Fu Guogong's eldest son in a vague way, and said in a low voice: "The old man is the emperor's uncle, and the emperor sent his subordinates and Eunuch An to come here. There is no way to explain it to the emperor, so I ask Master Mi to be considerate, even if I let my subordinates and Eunuch An help me run errands!"

Tang Zihan spoke politely, but Mi Ye had a bit of embarrassment on his face. He was no longer the son of the world, and in front of Tang Zihan, he could only be called Mi Ye.

The old lady tapped the sour pear stick in her hand and said: "Old woman, I am not dead yet! Even if your father passed away, it would not be your turn for the Duke of Fuguo to speak! Old woman, I am a first-class order, you This commoner wants to occupy the Fuguo Duke's Mansion, and he has the right to speak in this mansion, so he has to ask the old lady first!"

Tang Zihan and Eunuch An consciously took a few steps forward and stood on both sides behind the old lady. It was obvious that the two of them would only listen to the old lady, and no one else had the right to order or arrange them!

Seeing her grandfather's embarrassing face, the princess Yuanfu Guogong hurriedly got up and said: "Grandmother, my husband has no other intentions, but in this mansion, he is the only senior man in terms of seniority, so there is no need for us women to come forward. "

Seeing Tang Zihan and Eunuch An standing behind her consciously, the old lady gained confidence for no reason, and snorted coldly: "The old lady is a woman, but the emperor sent someone here just for the sake of the old woman! It's not up to you common people to make decisions about the affairs of the Fuguo Duke's Mansion!"

Mi Yu's face was extremely red with embarrassment, and he finally opened his mouth and said: "Anyway, I am also your daughter-in-law, and my husband is also your only son. Why are you slapping yourself in the face in front of outsiders? !"

The old lady looked at her son, then Mi Yu's and said: "You still know that the old woman is your mother-in-law, and you know that you are a daughter-in-law, so just stick to your duties, and you don't have the right to speak here. When the emperor demoted you to common people, leaving only the noble title of the duke and the first-rank order of the old lady, the duke said, as long as there is no such son! You just want to live in this mansion, want to If you are the master of the house, you have to wait until the old woman dies!"

Mi Yu said with a sneer: "Grandma, what are you talking about? It's a family, life and death, it makes people feel terrified! A family must live together!"

Mi Yu's tone softened a bit, she was afraid that her mother-in-law would be a mess, and she would drive them out of the mansion, even if they lost their titles, at least there would be a duke's mansion to support their appearance, and it would be better than those outside. If they are really kicked out, they will really have nowhere to go as a family!

Mi Yushi glanced at the people next to him with a headache. My father had taken in so many aunts, so many concubine sons, plus concubine sons-in-law and aunts. These hundred or so people all had to eat, not as good as Fuguo's mansion. Hold on, what are they going to eat!

The old lady glanced at Mi Yushi coldly, she naturally understood what was going on in her mind, and said indifferently: "The Duke is dead, but the old lady is still alive, you'd better pray for the old lady to live a long life, otherwise the old lady will walk away. I'm afraid this Fuguo Duke's Mansion will be taken back by the royal family, and you won't even be able to see the tiles on the roof!"

Mi Yu looked at the old lady tremblingly, feeling a little scared in her heart, the old lady was right, she was only thinking about the death of the old man, and her husband could be the master of the house, but she forgot this point, they had already They are common people. If the old lady passed away, wouldn't the mansion of Fuguo Duke's mansion be taken back, and they would still have no house?Could it be that she really wants to live with her dowry Zhuangzi?Where can so many people live?Mi Yu gave her father a hard look. It's okay to accept so many aunts, so many concubines, so many daughters-in-law, how will she live in the future, is it possible to use her dowry?
The old lady's words stunned the whole room, and everyone bowed their heads and remained silent!I was thinking about making the old lady pissed off by the way, but I heard that when the old lady married, she was very red makeup. After they were demoted to common people, their monthly bills suddenly decreased. It would be the best if the old lady's press box could be taken out, but after the old lady said a word, they would rather steamed buns and pickled vegetables than stay on the street. Everyone prayed for the old lady's longevity Centenary!
Seeing that everyone was honest, the old lady said indifferently: "Go back to your own room and sleep, I don't want to see you panicking!"

Master Mi frowned, and in front of Tang Zihan and Eunuch An, he finally said something polite, "Father is dead, son should stay in the main courtyard!"

The old lady glared at him and said: "Your father is dead, the old woman is not dead, and the servants of the main courtyard are not dead yet, so there is no need for you!"

Master Mi flung his sleeves and left. He thought he could be the master of the house after the old man died, but now... hmph, that person is right, if he doesn't fight hard, he will have nothing in his life...

All the people in the room left, and the old lady's waist seemed to collapse in an instant, and she said with a tired expression: "You two come with the old lady!"

Tang Zihan and Eunuch An looked at each other, and followed the old lady to the back hall.

The servants in the main courtyard were still serving in an orderly manner, without panic at all, but there was a look of sadness on the bottom surface. It seemed that these servants were the old people that the old man and the old lady were used to!
The old lady entered the inner hall, dismissed all the attendants, and said to the deep canopy bed: "You go and have a look, after the Duke passed away, the old lady did not let anyone touch her, and everything in this house is not touched. Didn't move, you guys check it out, check it out, it's... what's going on!"

The old lady stopped caring about Tang Zihan and Eunuch An after she was talking, leaned over and sat on the side of the shelf bed again, as if the old man was still alive, and didn't mind the person in front of her dying, and said softly: " It's all my fault that I was soft-hearted back then, if I would listen to your words and strangle that traitor to death, you probably wouldn't end up in such a situation!"

"Didn't you say that you still want to go to the battlefield to fight? Are you willing to leave now?"

"The emperor is still kind-hearted after all. I still remember that you, an old man, specially sent someone over, and the emperor didn't believe that you went just like that!"

"If I knew this earlier, even if you were angry again, I should have drugged you, brought you two aunts, and strangled that rebellious son to death. !"

"Oh, it's good to die. If you die, you don't have to be angry with this big family!"

"But how can you let the old woman live alone!"

"You wait for me in the head, don't rush to drink Mengpo soup!"

"Don't worry, the old lady is not dead now, just wait, it won't take much effort until the old lady finds out how you died!"

"We have been up and down for so many years, the old lady can't let you die without understanding!"

"You've protected me for the rest of your life. You see how fair the heavens are. At the end of the day, let the old woman pay off the debt before you can leave!"

Tang Zihan and Eunuch An checked the surroundings while listening to the old lady's babbling. Eunuch An had been by Li Tianyou's side for a long time, and he had heard so many things of this and that. He felt sad, but it didn't matter much. The modern soul was so touched that my nose twitched!

"Did you find anything? Was it poisoned or something?" The old lady was reminded by Tang Zihan's twitch, and asked with her mouth open.

Tang Zihan and Eunuch An shook their heads and said, "There is nothing wrong with the things in the house, other things need to be checked by others!"

The old lady knew what the other thing was referring to, and said softly: "You can take the old man's body away tomorrow! You must give the old lady an explanation!"

A servant's voice sounded, "Old Madam, the Empress Dowager announces you into the palace!"
