Gong Fei Ji

Chapter 173

The emperor then said to Empress Dowager Qi: "Mother, don't worry, my son will definitely help you find out who did this. These slaves in your palace are useless. My son will send people around me, if not , then let the people from the Ministry of Criminal Justice and Dali Temple investigate, in short, never let such a thing happen again in the mother's harem."

As he spoke, he thought of something, sighed again, and said, "Speaking of which, the palace is not peaceful recently, several strange incidents have occurred, several palace people have complained to me that there are ghosts crying in the harem at night, It is said that Chen Guifei, Shen Zhaoyi and others who died unjustly in the past have come back to take revenge."

Empress Dowager Qi's heart tightened when she heard this, and she grabbed the beads with all her strength, but the rope of the beads was cut off, and the beads fell to the ground with a tinkling sound.

The emperor pursed his lips and smiled. The Empress Dowager Qi climbed all the way from the concubine to the position of the empress, and she did not know how many bloods of the harem concubines were on her hands. Concubine Chen Gui and Shen Zhaoyi were among the people who died unjustly at her hands.With too much blood on your hands, when you get older, you will be more afraid of ghosts and gods.

The official nurse glanced at the emperor who was smiling strangely and the empress dowager Qi who was a little dazed, and quickly squatted down on the ground to pick up the prayer beads scattered on the ground one by one.

The emperor looked at the beads on the ground and said: "The quality of these beads is too low, Shang Gongju's craftsmanship is getting worse and worse." Then he said: "My son has a string of beads made of the sacred wood of the South China Sea. , it was a tribute from the Uncle King of Shu, and it is said that it has the effect of warding off evil spirits and suppressing evil spirits. When the son returns, he will have the Buddha beads sent to the queen mother."

Empress Dowager Qi took a deep breath, and then calmed down, and said to the emperor: "Ai's family is fine now, the emperor is busy with state affairs, and he has to go to court tomorrow, so go back and rest first."

The emperor said: "No matter how important the state affairs are, they are not as important as the mother. The son plans to stay up tonight, so he will talk to the mother." Then he said: "Speaking of it, we mother and son have not had a good heart-to-heart talk for a long time." Changed the sitting position, which meant a long talk all night.

Empress Dowager Qi: "..."

Empress Dowager Qi managed to hold back the anger in her heart, and said: "Ai's family is sleepy, if the emperor is really filial, let Ai's family rest."

The emperor said: "In this case, the son can only resign." After speaking, he looked very regretful that he could not have a long talk with the queen mother.

After the emperor left, Empress Dowager Qi waved down the teacup on the table, thinking of the assassins she had sent out, she cursed, "They're all idiots!"

She was really going to be driven crazy by this adopted son. She shouldn't have left him in the first place. When he was in his mother's womb, she should have killed him and his lowly mother together.

After she finished speaking for a while, she turned her head and asked the official mother: "Have you found out what happened in the Yaoguang Palace?"

The official nurse shook her head at her, and said: "The outside of the Yaoguang Hall is heavily guarded, and the people sent by the slaves cannot enter."

After the emperor came back that day, he banned Meiren Li's feet under the pretext that Meiren Li had bumped into the holy driver, and sent heavy soldiers to guard outside the Yaoguang Hall, making it impossible for anyone to enter without summons.
