Queen Mother, she just wants to lie down

Feng Xi...

The Queen Mother is becoming more and more uncertain and frightening. What should we do?

Should this Feng Xi be dealt with?

I haven't heard any useful information from him recently, so it would be troublesome to keep him by my side, just in case he leaks something that shouldn't be revealed.

After hearing his thoughts, Ruan Qing raised her eyes and glanced at him thoughtfully.

Her glance was very faint, as if she passed by inadvertently.

Feng Xi's back was numb, and he clearly felt murderous intent from this casual gaze.

He knew that the Queen Mother was suspicious of him, but for some reason, there had been no movement.

There was still some luck in my heart. Was the Queen Mother reluctant to let him go, or was there no conclusive evidence?

Now it seems that everything is taken for granted.

The Queen Mother kept him, fearing that she wanted to keep a close eye on him and obtain useful information.

As a result, I couldn't find any useful information from him, and I started to get impatient.

Ruan Qing's eyes passed over Feng Xi and then stopped on Liang Fan:

"Liang Fan, go and invite Duke Wu to Cining Palace tomorrow morning. The Ai family has something they want to discuss with him."

"Yes, Queen Mother."

The next day, as soon as Wu Guogong went down to court, he met Liang Fan.

"Eunuch Liang." Princess Wu quickly greeted him.

"My lord, the Queen Mother has summoned you to ask you to go to Cining Palace when you have time." Liang Fan walked up to him and said with a smile.

"Old minister, I have nothing to do at the moment, so I will go with my father-in-law." Wu Guogong was slightly startled, and then said.

He didn't dare to underestimate Ruan Qing.

On the way to Cining Palace, Wu Guogong kept wondering why the Queen Mother summoned him.

Could it be that the Queen Mother wanted to promote her natal family and wanted the daughter of the Ruan family to enter the palace to give herself a break in advance?

It's not impossible. After all, the Queen Mother had always wanted to make her niece her queen.

But later I found out it didn’t work, so I chose to compromise.

Ruan Qing took the initiative to make his daughter his queen, or sent his natal nephew out to get married.

In Wu Guogong's view, it is all a political demand and transaction.

Because this choice is the most beneficial to her and the emperor, he would do the same if he and Ruan Qing were to change places.

If the Queen Mother really wants her niece to enter the palace, it is not unacceptable.

The Queen Mother took the initiative to make his daughter the Queen and reciprocated the favor. He should also return the favor to the Queen Mother.

It is said that except for her good looks, the girl from the Ruan family is mediocre in everything else, and entering the palace will not pose any threat to her daughter.

He was thinking about something, so when he entered Cining Palace, he was almost tripped by the high threshold.

"Master Guo, be careful." Liang Fan stretched out his hand to give him a hand.

"Thank you, father-in-law. I'm a little distracted now that I'm old." Wu Guogong came to his senses.

Arriving at the flower hall, Wu Guogong calmed down his thoughts, walked up to Ruan Qing, and bowed to her politely: "Old minister Wang Xiaoshi has met the Queen Mother."

"My lord, please rise and offer me a seat and serve tea." Ruan Qing raised his hand.

"Thank you, Queen Mother."

"Quieqi, Jiang Yuan and Liang Fan stay, everyone else goes out." Ruan Qing said.

Wu Guogong was a little frightened. He didn't know why the Queen Mother summoned him, and she was so cautious.

When the tea was served, Ruan Qing picked up the teacup and took a sip before saying, "Do you know why the Ai family invited you here?"

"I don't know, old minister, please tell me from the Queen Mother." Wu Guogong bowed his hand.

"You must have heard of the three cases in Yunshifang, right?" Ruan Qing put down his tea cup and asked.

"I've heard of it." Wu Guogong was stunned and replied.

Why did the Queen Mother suddenly bring up the Yushifang case?

Did you come to him to discuss a case?

The problem is that he is neither the chief official of the Criminal Department nor the chief official of Dali Temple, so the case is not his responsibility.

"Does the Duke know the truth about Jiang Congyun's murder of his wife?" Ruan Qing asked again.

"I know a little bit about it," Wu Guo replied.

He didn't know this at first.

Jiang Congyun was a low-level official from the fifth rank, and he had nothing to do with him. He really didn't pay much attention to this person.

However, because the case involved Princess Ningshan, Princess Ningshan was taken away from the Princess Ronghua Mansion.

His wife and daughter-in-law both attended Princess Zhaoping's haircut ceremony and told him about it after returning home yesterday.

He specifically asked someone to ask, and then he found out that the murderer in this rumored case turned out to be Jiang Congyun.

"I wonder what the Duke thinks of this?"

"I feel that this person is very good at disguise. He has two faces in front of and behind him. As officials, we should take this as a warning when dealing with ourselves and when we recognize and employ people." Wu Guogong replied cautiously.

"Hey, the Duke is right, he knows people but doesn't know their hearts. Who would have known that the infatuated husband who was rumored to be the one who killed his wife turned out to be the murderer.

The Ai family came to see Mr. Guo, not to discuss Jiang Congyun's case. What I want to talk about is the other two cases. " Ruan Qing sighed softly, and then changed the subject.

"Your Majesty, please give me instructions."

"I heard rumors that these two murder cases are related to Young Master Ling. I wonder if the Duke knows about it?" Ruan Qing asked, staring into his eyes.

"What, this is impossible. My son has been a man of few words since he was a child. The two families in Yuanshifang have nothing to do with my Wang family. Why would he destroy their families for no reason?"

Wu Guogong was shocked and stood up with a cry of fright.

"Master Guo, don't be nervous, the Ai family just heard rumors, and it's not sure whether they are true or not.

But since there are rumors, I suggest that the Duke should check it out.

Now there are only a few days left before the establishment of the Queen. If any bad rumors spread at this moment, it will be bad for the Queen. What does the Duke say? "

Ruan Qing waved his hand to indicate that he should not be anxious. He reassured him for a few words before telling him the reason for calling him here.

Wu Guogong's youngest son is obviously a guy with a perverted personality.

A pervert who does nothing unusual.

If during this period, his mind suddenly changes and he comes up with some new tricks, he will make a big fuss.

I am afraid that the queen position of Wang Guifei will not be sealed.

"I know, I will check it out when I get back." Cold sweat started to flow from Wu Guogong's forehead in an instant.

"My lord, I like people who abide by the law, and I don't want anything to happen during this period that will affect the queen.

But I don’t want to see anyone invent any new tricks in order to cover up their crimes. "

When he saw Wu Guogong getting up to leave, Ruan Qing struck again.

"I know that although I am not a sage with flawless moral character, I am not an extremely evil person who regards human life as nothing.

If, if the matter is really related to the child, the veteran will definitely give the Queen Mother a satisfactory answer. "Wu Guogong paused in his steps.

When he came out of Cining Palace, the clothes on his back were soaked with cold sweat.

He never expected that Ruan Qing would call him here for such a thing.

His little son, who was taciturn and would blush when he spoke to anyone when he was a child, was a murderer who killed many people?

Why would he do this?

Is it because he is old and his control over the family is too loose, or is this son too good at pretending?

Before that, he didn't even notice it at all.

As for whether the Queen Mother was talking nonsense, Wu Guogong believed that this possibility was unlikely.

If she wasn't absolutely sure, the Queen Mother would not call him over at this time to beat him.
