Ajiu

Chapter 243 Questioning
Gao Jian is not only very talkative, he can scold people so much that he can't lift his head, and he has a dead heart. He is also very elegant, good at calligraphy, music theory, and playing the piano.He is a eunuch favored by the fat emperor. The fat emperor once commented on him as "serious, simple, sophisticated, and sophisticated."He is already over fifty years old, and he does not usually serve in front of the imperial court, and has another residence outside the palace.After Queen Zhang gave the order, the servants of Kunning Palace hurriedly took orders, left the Forbidden City, and went to Gaojian's house outside the palace to pick up someone.

This took some time.

Empress Zhang was a little unhappy, "Why is it so slow?" His Majesty the emperor has left, and I can't do whatever I want. It takes so much time to summon a small eunuch.

Who do I want to die, how dare he not rush over and let me handle it?
I have been aggrieved in the position of empress for so long, and finally survived until the day of His Majesty the emperor. I am about to become empress dowager, what else is going wrong?It makes no sense.

Concubine Qiu Gui lay powerlessly on the ground, her eyes wide open, her expression painful. "You're still angry." Empress Zhang glanced at Concubine Qiu in annoyance, thinking it was interesting, the female officer asked if she could carry Concubine Qiu down, Empress Zhang refused with a smile, "No hurry, let her lie down."

Seeing the tragic death of Concubine Qiu Gui, who had been against him for many years, was extremely refreshing.What are you doing?Wouldn't it be a pity not to be able to watch her die.

"What happened to Qianqing Palace?" Queen Zhang called the female officer on duty and asked.

"There has been no mourning." The female officer replied in fear.

There was a sneering smile on the corner of Queen Zhang's mouth.

Why don't you mourn, Xiao Shi, you are so stupid.

"In that case, I will wait quietly in Kunning Palace." Queen Zhang said leisurely.

It's good not to mourn, I can execute Qiu calmly, and I can wait for Gao Jian to arrive and watch him lie down with my own eyes.If we start mourning, I, the widow of Emperor Daxing, will not show up.Of course, I can order my servants to handle this matter properly, but if I didn't see Qiu Shi and Gao Jian die in front of me, how could I be reconciled.

I still have a lot of people to deal with, but these two are the most abominable, I can't wait for a day, I want them to die in Kunning Palace today!
Anyway, I won't live in this Kunning Palace in the future.Empress Zhang looked at Concubine Qiu Gui, who was struggling in pain on the ground, and at the little blood on the ground, her eyes were full of smiles.I can't live in this palace where people have died, this unlucky palace, so I'll leave it to Ah Jiu.

I hope she can live in peace and tranquility here.

I hope she lives here for a long time.

Empress Zhang smiled slightly, the corners of her eyes and brows were full of pride.

Empress Zhang sent out to arrest Gao Jian's servant, surnamed Huang. Huang's servant was an enthusiastic person, and he wanted to curry favor with Queen Zhang so that he could be promoted step by step in the future.He was thinking about what Queen Zhang had told him, and he only wanted to hurry out of the palace to improve Jane, but he didn't notice that the security in the Forbidden City was extremely strict, with a guard at three steps and a sentry at five steps. Waist knife, as if ready to fight at any time.

When he was about to leave the palace, he was interrogated by the Jinwu Guard.Huang's servant was very angry, "It's the opposite! How dare you interrogate the people in Kunning Palace! Are you not paying attention to the empress?" The leader of the Jinwu Guard smiled and said very politely, "I honor the Crown Prince The purpose of the order is to guard the gate, and everyone who comes and goes needs to be searched, without exception, please understand." As he spoke, his subordinates kept on doing it, and searched Huang's servant and the accompanying several small servants with their own hands. Only if there is no violation, it will be released.

"You short-sighted people, wait for me!" Huang's servant angrily threw down a harsh sentence, and led the servant straight to Gao Jian's residence.

The leader of the Jinwu Guard looked thoughtfully at the backs of Huang Neishi and the others.

He called a few soldiers to give some quiet instructions, and the soldiers understood, and left behind Huang's waiter and the others, taking charge of monitoring.

He called another soldier, "Report to the Commander." The soldier got the order and hurried away.

On this day, all the guards in charge of guarding Miyagi felt as if they were facing an enemy.Any changes should be reported immediately.

Ajiu ordered someone to invite Second Master Pei, and entrusted Xiao Shenshen and Xiao Xie to him, "Father, the four older ones are more or less sensible. I'm always afraid of scaring the two younger ones." It's a tragedy that a four-year-old cannot be expected to understand.

Second Master Pei agreed gently, "Daughter, you can rest assured that Daddy is doing business."

Ajiu nodded with tears in her eyes, "Yes, with you here, I can rest assured."

It's nice to have a dad.

Second Master Pei has often taken care of the children with the fat emperor over the years, and is also very sad about the fat emperor's departure.After all, he is a man. Although he is sad, he refuses to act emotionally. He asked Ajiu carefully, "How about the guards in the palace? How about the funeral etiquette drafted by the cabinet ministers and the Ministry of Rites? Girl, these big things, no matter how sad you are, you can't ignore them." "The filial sons and grandsons of ordinary people just need to be sad when their father dies, but you and the crown prince can't. The safety of the palace and the stability of the court cannot be ignored.

Ajiu told Second Master Pei, "Jinyiwei, Jinwuwei, Habayashiwei and other guards have been under the command of Brother Ten for the past two years, and the guards in the palace are strictly guarded. The ministers in the court have discussed the funeral etiquette, but Brother Ten Very stubborn, must wait."

He probably knew in his heart that the emperor's father had already left and would not come back again, but he still refused to admit it clearly and wanted to lie to himself.

Second Master Pei felt miserable, "It's really pitiful."

Ajiu said in a low voice: "This is the time when Brother Ten is most vulnerable and needs his relatives the most. I have to accompany him. Daddy, the children will be entrusted to you."

"Go." Second Master Pei nodded.

Ah Jiu thanked her father, kissed the children one by one, and left reluctantly.

The tenth brother who guarded his father's body and refused to leave needed her.

Since Ajiu met him when he was four years and four months old, he has brought Ajiu a lot of joy, countless surprises, warmth, and affection. The two have cuddled together for so many years, and they have long been a part of each other's lives. required.He couldn't leave her, and she couldn't leave him.

When he was in pain, she would not leave him alone.

She will accompany him.

Huang's servant returned to Miyagi with Gao Jian, but was still strictly interrogated and did not relax at all.Not only Huang Neishi, but also Gao Jian, who was brought back by Huang Neihui as a prisoner, was searched carefully by the soldiers, and after confirming that there was no entrainment, they were released into Miyagi.

The waiter Huang was very dissatisfied, and yelled a lot of harsh words, but he said his, the guards should check and check, and he refused to relax.

Not only did he refuse to relax, but he was afraid that the investigation of their group would take longer than the normal investigation.

"Did you do it on purpose?" Huang Neishi looked at the group of Jinwu guards, and gritted his teeth in hatred.You short-sighted ones, wait for me!When the empress dowager speaks, all of you will die!Huang Nei waiter hummed angrily, and took Gao Jian to the direction of Kunning Palace.

The Jinwu Guard soldiers quickly reported up.

Chen Lingyun, the commander of the Jinwu Guard, was a little restless that day.Empress Zhang summoned Concubine Qiu and Gao Jian!Concubine Qiu, Gao Jian, these are all people that Empress Zhang dislikes...

Originally, Chen Lingyun and other commanders of the guards would report directly to the Crown Prince when they had something to do, but the situation on this day was different. The Crown Prince was in extreme grief and had to report to the Crown Princess.Chen Lingyun reported all the changes seen by the Jinwu Guard to the Crown Princess, "...the servants of Kunning Palace captured Gao Jian outside the palace city. Gao Jian was captured almost as if he was a prisoner, and he described it as a mess. .”

Ajiu stood behind the bead curtain and listened to the Jinwu Guard's report, her anger rising.

Brother Ten is so sad that he can't help himself. Empress Zhang, you are his own mother. You don't care about anything at the moment, and you want to avenge yourself first? !Gao Jian, that was the eunuch whom the late emperor admired and loved during his lifetime. Just because he scolded your precious daughter according to the order, do you want to torment Gao Jian before the late emperor's bones are cold?Brother Ten has such a deep affection for his father. On the day of the late Emperor's death, you tormented the eunuch whom the late Emperor loved so much, how could Brother Ten feel so bad!
"Go to Kunning Palace." Ajiu ordered.

"I obey the order!" Chen Lingyun outside the bead curtain burst into joy.

Empress Guifei, the Crown Princess is going to Kunning Palace, you are saved...

Although Chen Lingyun was not sure that Concubine Qiu Gui would be in danger in Kunning Palace, there was no doubt that Queen Zhang summoned Concubine Qiu Guifei and Gao Jian, the two "enemies", there would definitely be no good.

Chen Lingyun wished he could run over to rescue Concubine Qiu.

In Chen Lingyun's life, there were very few older women who cared for him very much. He was very grateful to Concubine Qiu for taking care of him.

Ajiu took the servants and guards, and a group of people went to Kunning Palace in a mighty manner.

When Ajiu arrived, Empress Zhang was sitting on top of her in a haughty manner, angrily scolding Gao Jian, "...You can do whatever Your Majesty tells you, right? Since you are so loyal to His Majesty, you will go with His Majesty." go!"

Gao Jian knelt on the ground, her figure was full of sadness, her voice was full of pain, "It is a great honor for Gao Jian to follow Emperor Daxing underground!"

Once the emperor is gone, the eunuch he once favored will be given death and buried with him. In this palace, it is such a common thing.As an eunuch trusted and admired by the emperor, Gao Jian did not intend to live in peace after the emperor passed away.

Empress Zhang smiled arrogantly, and the female officer beside her brought a cup full of poisoned wine and wanted to pass it to Gao Jian.

"Stop!" Ajiu rushed in with someone.

The female officer trembled and hesitated.Why is the princess here?Not only did she come, but the Crown Princess also looked very scary, as if there was fire in her eyes, she looked very angry?The empress is her direct mother-in-law, but she is not submissive to the empress, she is domineering.

The crown princess is nothing in front of the queen, but such a crown princess makes the female officials fearful.

Empress Zhang lowered her face, "Crown Princess, is this your etiquette as a daughter-in-law? The Pei family really taught a good daughter!"

As soon as the words of reprimand came out, Empress Zhang really felt comfortable in all limbs.I've wanted to train you like this for a long time!Your Majesty is alive, I have been enduring you, I can't bear it, and I will bear it again.Now that your majesty is gone, no one is protecting you, I can finally feel proud and show off my majesty as a mother-in-law!

It's such a good feeling.Empress Zhang was both comfortable and moved.

I have today too.

Concubine Qiu Gui, who was lying on the ground, raised her head with difficulty, "Mother, Crown Princess..."

The alcohol she drank was very poisonous, and she should have died long ago.But Queen Zhang's words made her feel cold all over her body. She thought that her three sons would be plotted against by Queen Zhang after her death, so she couldn't swallow this breath reconciledly.

Seeing Concubine Qiu Gui's appearance, what else does Ajiu not understand?
"Queen Zhang..." Ah Jiu's hands and feet were cold.

It is a palace rule that concubines with sons are not buried.But Concubine Qiu Gui obviously has three sons, so Empress Zhang actually laid hands on her.

The rules are no longer binding on Empress Zhang.

When Chen Lingyun saw Concubine Qiu Gui lying on the ground, his heart ached. "She loved me, and she really planned for me, but at this moment, facing her who is in a desperate situation, there is nothing I can do!"

Even if he is not a doctor, he can tell that Concubine Qiu Gui is no longer able to do it.Hua Tuo could not save her life even if she was reborn.

She probably had her last breath left.

"I, I don't want to die here..." Qiu Guifei said intermittently and with great difficulty.

Ah Jiu felt sorry.

This is the Kunning Palace, the queen's bedroom.Soon after, this place will become the bedroom of her future empress. Concubine Qiu held her breath and refused to die here, because she didn't want to pollute this place, right?After all, places where people have died are always unlucky and disgusting.She was going to die, not for herself, of course, but for her son and her relatives.

"I, my son..." Qiu Guifei exhausted her last bit of strength and looked at Ajiu pleadingly.

The dying woman in front of her was once very hateful. In order to make Lin Youhui sad, she caused a lot of trouble to Second Master Pei and Lin Youhui.After Ajiu married into the East Palace, she made trouble more than once, which made people very annoying.But she was a mother after all, she couldn't let go of her son, she didn't dare to die in Kunning Palace, she was pleading for her son before she died.

"The crown prince is benevolent and filial, and he will definitely treat his brother kindly." Ajiu said solemnly.

Brother Ten doesn't like his three half-brothers, but he will definitely not treat them badly.Because they have the same father.

A flash of ecstasy flashed in Qiu Guifei's eyes.

Ah Jiu ordered: "Bring Concubine Qiu back to Guangfu Palace."

She has lived in Guangfu Palace for decades, let her die in a place she is familiar with.

The servant in the Eastern Palace was about to step forward, but Queen Zhang's face was ashen, and she patted the table, "Crown Princess, do you still think of me?"

In my Kunning Palace, you dare to make your own claims without even asking me?It's too bossy.

Ajiu glanced at her contemptuously, and said, "Do it!"

Empress Zhang shouted at the same time: "Don't carry her away!"

The servant of the East Palace agreed and went forward to carry Concubine Qiu.The servants and female officials of Kunning Palace wanted to step forward to stop them, but the Jinwu Guards stood in front of them. In terms of force, they were not opponents at all.

Concubine Qiu Gui was still alive and was carried out of Kunning Palace.

Empress Zhang was furious, "Reverse, rebellious!" The daughter-in-law brought people to challenge her mother-in-law, when will such a thing happen in the palace?Inverted.

Empress Zhang pointed at Chen Lingyun and said sharply: "Look at the clothes, are you the commander of the Jinwu Guard? How dare you disobey the Queen's order and obey the Crown Princess?"

Chen Lingyun was saddened by the tragic death of Concubine Qiu, and was full of hatred for Empress Zhang, and said in a deep voice: "The Jin Wuwei is loyal to the emperor, not the queen mother!"

Don't think that you can order the Jinwu Guard just because you are going to be the Queen Mother soon.Jin Wuwei is His Majesty's personal guard, and only obeys His Majesty's orders, not His Majesty's mother!
Make Zhang Huang angry.Of course I know that your allegiance is to the emperor, not the queen mother, but is there an emperor standing in front of you right now?

If Xiao Shi was there, the Jinwu Guard would listen to Xiao Shi and not his own, but Empress Zhang would still think it was acceptable.However, this is Ajiu in front of me, and I am about to become the queen mother, so I can't compare to Ajiu!

Queen Zhang was out of anger.

This is a great insult to her.

"Crown princess, you really have no family education." Empress Zhang was heartbroken, "Do you know how to write the word filial piety?"

Looking at Empress Zhang's wrinkled face, Ajiu was filled with disgust.Empress Zhang and the fat emperor are about the same age. The fat emperor was so kind and gentle during his lifetime, but she, from head to toe, is full of malice, which makes people unable to respect her.

"The Crown Prince is standing in front of His Majesty's bed, refusing to leave." Ajiu said slowly and word by word: "He said, maybe Dad just fell asleep, maybe Dad will wake up soon."

Queen Zhang shivered.survived?He had been in a coma once before.

What if he really came back to life?Queen Zhang shuddered.

Ajiu looked at Empress Zhang quietly, "The Crown Prince is very filial to His Majesty the Father, what do you say to the Queen Mother? He doesn't believe that Father has left. He is looking forward to Father coming back, continue to protect his children and grandchildren, and enjoy the family happiness. Queen Mother, do you think the crown prince is filial?"

Ajiu spoke very slowly and clearly, Empress Zhang was intimidated by her aura, and felt a little guilty.

This Ajiu is too calm.

How did the Pei family teach her.

Ajiu sneered, and her voice suddenly turned high-pitched, "He is so filial, how about you, how did you do it? You only want to avenge your personal revenge and vent your personal anger, and you have never put yourself in the place of the crown prince. What kind of mood is it at this moment!"

"You executed Concubine Qiu in secret. Have you ever thought about how the crown prince would feel? The crown prince's most beloved father had just passed away, and you killed the concubine his father loved before he was alive. His three half-brothers Mother and concubine! The crown prince will feel heartbroken, feel guilty, and feel sorry for his father, have you ever thought about it?"

Ajiu was very angry.Facing a mother like Queen Zhang, she felt wronged and wronged for brother ten, so she had to question him for brother ten.

Brother Ten is already in great grief, what you do will only make him feel more uncomfortable, you know?
Brother Ten was already very guilty. He recalled his ignorance since he was a child, and he regretted and felt very guilty. "...If I was obedient, maybe Dad wouldn't be angry so often, maybe Dad wouldn't go so early." He is already like this, if you do this, it will make him feel more guilty, you know?
If you do this, it also means that the tenth brother will use thousands of Jinyiwei to monitor the killing of his three half-brothers' biological mothers, eleven, twelve, and thirteen, how can he not hold a grudge?If they want to rebel, the ruling and opposition parties will be shaken again.Therefore, Brother Ten had no other choice but to closely monitor his younger brothers.

How embarrassing these things are to Brother Ten, have you ever thought about it?

Although the tenth brother is a righteous crown prince, he should not encounter any obstacles to the throne, but there are always risks in the transfer of power, so he should be careful.He has not ascended the throne yet, his throne is not secure yet, you are his mother, shouldn't these be your primary considerations?

Are you his mother?
