Queen Mother, she just wants to lie down

When Ruan Qing returned to Cining Palace, it was almost dark.

She walked into the palace and had just changed out of her regular clothes when Qiu Cheng came over to report: "Queen Mother, Your Majesty and Minister Lin are here."

"I understand. Let them sit down first. The Ai family will be out in a moment." Ruan Qing replied while washing his face with the warm water handed over by the palace maid.

After washing my hands and face, the fatigue of running all the way finally faded away. I put some ointment on my face to moisturize my complexion, put on some comfortable clothes, and then came to the outer hall.

"The son has seen his mother, and I have seen the Queen Mother." Emperor Xie Huaijin and Lin Haoming saw her coming out and immediately stood up and saluted.

"No need to be polite, just sit down." Ruan Qing waved his hand, walked over to the two of them and sat down.

Refreshments were already set on the tea table in front of them.

"It's been very hard for my mother to travel all the way. My son shouldn't have disturbed me at this time, but..."

The emperor looked at the tiredness on her face and felt a little apologetic, so he personally helped her pour a cup of tea.

"It doesn't matter. Tomorrow is the queen sealing ceremony. There are many things that need to be dealt with today. If you don't come over, the Ai family will send people to find you.

Concubine Li is dead, and the King of Qi will secretly escort her back to the capital. They will enter the city after nightfall, and then Minister Lin will hand over her. "

Ruan Qing picked up the tea poured by the emperor, took two sips, moistened his throat, and briefly told about the imperial mausoleum.

Of course, there is no need to talk about things like burying Concubine Li separately.

"My son thanked my mother." Xie Huaijin said sincerely.

If it hadn't been for the Queen Mother's resolute actions and her killing moves, Concubine Li's matter would never have been resolved so quickly.

"You and I, mother and son, helping you is helping ourselves. Only when Daxi is prosperous and your throne is stable can the Ai family be a queen mother with no worries. There is no need to say thank you." Ruan Qing waved her hand.

Lin Haoming, Jiang Yuan, Liang Fan, and Zhang Yu all twitched their mouths involuntarily when they heard this.

Is it really okay for you to be so direct?

The emperor didn't think there was anything wrong with this statement. He responded happily:

"Don't worry, mother. Your son will always remember your mother's teachings, work hard, and work hard to seek medical treatment. He will take care of your mother and have a worry-free life, so that you can do what you like to do as you please."

"Then the Ai family would like to thank the emperor first. By the way, has anything happened in the palace in the past few days?"

"A lot of things happened. People from the Ministry of Industry found many explosives in the palace, the mother's Cining Palace and the son's Mingxing Palace.

There is also Jiaotai Hall, especially Jiaotai Hall. Once the explosives inside are ignited, they can kill hundreds of people.

If they hadn't found out in advance, the consequences would have been unimaginable. Those people were really crazy. "Xie Huaijin gritted his teeth and said.

When he mentioned this, he still felt cold all over.

"Have you alerted the courtiers?" Ruan Qing asked.

"No, because the Queen's Grand Ceremony is about to begin, according to regulations, the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Rites need to send people to conduct a detailed inspection of the palace.

My son left this matter to Minister Lin, and he lived up to expectations and checked out all the hidden dangers.

After the gunpowder was found, his son ordered Commander Yuan to transport it out.

The queen mother also knew that Commander Yuan was a proper man and he would not let his soldiers spread rumors.

All the craftsmen who participated in the inspection were temporarily detained, and they would be released after the sealing ceremony. "The emperor replied.

"The emperor has done a good job." After hearing this, Ruan Qing couldn't help but glance at Lin Shilang.

It seems that Lin Shilang didn't reveal that she discovered the explosives in the palace. That's good, this person is quite reliable.

"Besides the matter of the imperial mausoleum, the Ai family has other things to tell you." After hearing what happened in the palace in recent days, Ruan Qing quickly changed the topic.

"Mother, please speak."

"You all know what happened on Yanque Street, right?"

"I know." Lin Haoming and the emperor nodded at the same time.

The Queen Mother did not want too many people to know about her leaving the palace, so she traveled in simple disguise.

The emperor couldn't arrange too many people to pick him up, but to ensure safety, secret guards would definitely be sent.

After entering the city, the Queen Mother first went to Qingfeng Tower for dinner, and then came across the murder case on Yanque Street. The matter of asking Que Qi to punish the dandy had already been reported to the emperor.

"This is exactly what the Ai family wants to tell you. In recent years, the atmosphere in the capital has not been very good, which has led to the nobles in the capital being particularly indulgent towards their children.

These dandies spend their days doing nothing but misbehaving outside, killing people, setting fires, bullying men and dominating women, and doing all kinds of evil.

The emperor has decided to purge the court, so he might as well use these people as an example. " Ruan Qing's face darkened and he spoke with murderous intent.

Lin Haoming and the emperor were stunned at the same time. After a moment of silence, the emperor finally spoke with a hint of tentativeness: "My uncle's eldest cousin..."

"If it is found that the person was really killed, everything will be done according to the laws of the court. If he should be executed, he should be executed, and if he should be exiled, he should be exiled.

The nephew of the Ai family's mother-in-law has committed a crime, and the Ai family will not show any personal favor. Others who want to plead for mercy must be too embarrassed to ask. Ruan Qing said coldly.

The emperor was stunned again, and then he was deeply moved. His mother was so good to him.

In order for him to eliminate his cronies as soon as possible, even his parents' family sacrificed themselves without hesitation.

But then he remembered that Ruan Zhaoxiang was engaged to Jiang Yuan, and his eyes couldn't help but glance at Jiang Yuan.

If Ruan Zhaoxiang really killed someone and was sentenced to beheading, what would happen to his marriage to Jiang Yuan?

“Kill to pay for life, debt to pay for money, this is the eternal truth.

If the nephew of the Ai family really kills someone, it means that he has a despicable temperament and is really not a good match.

At that time, the Ai family will naturally help Jiang Yuan choose a more suitable marriage. "

After everyone present listened, their eyes involuntarily focused on Jiang Yuan.

"I will obey the Queen Mother in everything, just my husband and son-in-law. If this one is gone, the next one will be better." Jiang Yuan, the tool man, replied.

She has no feelings for Ruan Zhaoxiang, and the man is just a borrowing tool for her.

She didn't care at all about the other person's character and temperament. No matter how naughty and dissolute the person was, she could still be confident as long as there was nothing wrong with her body.

I didn't refuse the marriage at first because I had this idea.

But if Yuan Zhaoxiang really killed someone and violated the national law, she would never protect him just because she wanted to borrow money.

The emperor, Lin Haoming, including Liang Fan and Zhang Yu, two people with no roots, were all stunned by her words.

Everyone stared at her with their mouths open and dumbfounded, unable to find a sound for a long time.

When leaving Cining Palace, Emperor Xie Huaijin was feeling dizzy.

He found that he didn't seem to understand women at all, such as his mother, such as Jiang Yuan.

The word husband seems to have no weight in their eyes.

I don't know what his concubines think of him.

Thinking of his concubines, he suddenly remembered that no one had brought soup, warmth or hospitality to him recently, and he didn't know what they were busy with.

The emperor, who was thinking a lot, turned his head and saw Lin Haoming walking beside him. He couldn't help but blurted out: "Servant Lin, how did your wife treat you back then?"
