Rebirth: The imperial concubine is no longer jealous, and the emperor panics

Chapter 72 The mother-son confrontation between the emperor and the queen mother

Not seeing anyone from Cining Palace, Lu Lingchuan's eyes flashed with light, and he said in a sinister tone, "Show off at Cining Palace!"

Before the words were spoken, the man had already strode away.

Wang Dafu ordered people to guard the Changxin Palace. If there is any news about the imperial concubine, they will report it immediately.

Then he grabbed the fly whisk and ran after the emperor.

Lu Lingchuan rushed all the way, and when he arrived at the gate of Cining Palace, he saw General Xia Huaibei of Jinwu, standing in a stalemate with Nanny Qin who was beside the Queen Mother.

Nanny Qin held up the Queen Mother's golden seal in her hand and shouted loudly, "The Queen Mother has an order, anyone who breaks into the Cining Palace without permission will be punished by the entire clan!"

Behind her were dozens of eunuchs and maids holding wooden sticks.

Lu Lingchuan stepped forward, stretched out his long legs, and kicked several times with "bang bang" at the two leading eunuchs.

He made a gesture to Xia Huaibei in a deep voice, "Search the palace!"

With the emperor's backing, Xia Huaibei took action to capture Nanny Qin, and the imperial troops poured in instantly like a tide.

The Queen Mother took the medicine prescribed by Zhang Songhe for several days in a row, and she felt a little more energetic. She was resting her head on the couch with her hands on her forehead.

Then I heard a commotion outside. I listened carefully and found out that it was the screams of palace maids and eunuchs.

The Queen Mother's eyebrows beat several times.

She raised her eyes to look at the outer hall and told the maid Tian Xing who was waiting beside her to go and see what was going on.

Before the palace maid even raised her legs, she saw the bead curtain move slightly.

A fat hand opened the beaded curtain, and then the emperor with a sullen face strode in, followed by Wang Dafu with a sad face.

"My son is unfilial and disturbs his mother late at night."

Lu Lingchuan's eyes looked extremely dark.

He bowed briefly to the Queen Mother, and then sat upright on the straight-backed chair next to the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother coughed lightly, managed to cheer up, and asked, "Your Majesty, why are you here to see the Ai family at this time?"

Faced with the Queen Mother's knowing questions, Lu Lingchuan said bitterly,——

"I was careless and lost the treasure in my heart, so I came here to ask my mother for advice."

His unruliness and straightforwardness made the Queen Mother furious.

"What the emperor is talking nonsense!"

"What kind of treasure, but a woman who is not afraid of making people laugh? The imperial concubine is missing. The imperial army has been searching the Sixth Palace late at night. I believe there will be a result soon."

"For the sake of a woman, you disturbed the peace of the Cining Palace of the Ai family. It is simply disobedient and unfilial!"

As the Queen Mother spoke, she slapped her hand heavily on the carved red sandalwood coffee table with a "pop" sound.

"Today, the Ai family wants to see how the emperor can touch the people in Cining Palace while the Ai family is here!"

Lu Lingchuan stood up, stood in front of the Queen Mother, and raised his voice,

"Wang Dafu, bring everyone from Cining Palace here one by one. I want to question them in person in front of the Queen Mother!"

"You're such a traitor. The Ai family has worked so hard to raise a white-eyed wolf like you!"

Seeing that she could not stop the emperor, the Queen Mother wiped away her tears and threatened, "If you want to cause trouble today, the Ai family will go underground to accompany the late emperor."

Lu Lingchuan curled his lips and smiled coolly, his eyes dark and deep.

"In the past, the late emperor once loved Concubine Zhao, but she was stigmatized as a demon star and sentenced to death. Is this a shameful thing done by the former dynasty and the harem together?"

"I wonder how my mother will explain it when she meets the late emperor?"

Sure enough, she gave birth to a rebellious son. The Queen Mother was so angry that her chest heaved, but she could do nothing.

"Report!"

Xia Huaibei entered the palace like a gust of wind. He knelt down on one knee and cupped his hands towards the emperor.

"The general will finally capture a monk who is known as the eminent monk of Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple in the side hall!"

Sure enough, the imperial guard behind him was holding a bald man wearing a cassock.

Lu Lingchuan's heart trembled. A monk was found in Cining Palace.

"Why don't you tell the truth about your identity before His Majesty!"

Xia Huaibei kicked the monk's leg.

Seeing this man's rat eyes and constantly glancing in the direction of the Queen Mother, Xia Huaibei raised the scabbard of his sword and hit him hard on the back.

"Hey!...It hurts!"

"Xiaomin, Xiaomin,...they're all here!"

The monk knelt on the ground and said tremblingly.

Wang Dafu's legs trembled when he heard that he called himself Xiaomin.

Is this still a fake monk?

If something like this happened in the Queen Mother's Palace, how could the royal family lose face?

Sure enough, at this moment, a cold light flashed in the emperor's eyes, and his fists were clenched tightly.

"Back, back to the emperor, this villain is not a monk from Wanfo Temple, but Zhang, Zhang Tao, a native of Beijing..."

The bald head kowtowed and his head felt numb, and his whole body could not help but tremble.

It turns out that this person is a gangster on the streets of Shangjing, who is best at deception and abduction. Today I was called into the palace, shaved my head, and put on a cassock, just to act in a play and deceive someone.

"The old nun in the palace said that if the common people hear the secret code, they will say that your majesty's dream is true. However, your majesty is reluctant to let the beauty out of the palace, for fear that the beauty will do something that will harm the royal family's face after leaving the palace."

"The old grandma told the people that after saying these words in the Buddhist hall, they can chant sutras and knock the wooden fish!"

"Drag that old woman from the Qin family in here!" Lu Lingchuan said angrily.

"Emperor, are you crazy? Nanny Qin has been with the Ai family for many years. She hugged you every day when you were a child. She watched you grow up all the way.

The Queen Mother asked helplessly, with sadness in her eyes.

Lu Lingchuan sarcastically said, "The queen is kind-hearted. She knows she cares about the mothers around her, but she doesn't know she cares about her son."

Soon, the imperial guards dragged Nanny Qin in.

The old woman's gray hair was messy and disheveled. When she saw the Queen Mother, she cried out in grief and called her for help.

"My mother can't save you today! Only you can save yourself!"

Lu Lingchuan said solemnly, with a dark smile on his lips, "I remember that you have a son outside the palace, and he is now engaged in the rouge and gouache business in Yong'anfang."

"Xia Huaibei, if this old woman doesn't confess in another quarter of an hour, I will order someone to chop up the shopkeeper of the gouache shop, his wife and children, and then set the body and the house on fire for me!"

"Queen Mother, please save this slave!"

Aunt Qin kept kowtowing and shouted for help.

She followed the Queen Mother all her life, and did not want to betray the Lord when she was old.

She was trembling and praying to the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother said embarrassedly, "As you said, the emperor has gone crazy. The Ai family doesn't blame you."

"Back to Your Majesty, it was the slave who arranged for Zhang Tao. When the old slave brought the concubine to greet the Queen Mother, he heard the secret signal and said what he had just said to deceive the concubine."

"I don't know what happens next."

Nanny Qin looked at the Queen Mother guiltily, kowtowed for a long time and said, "Your Majesty, everything I know about this slave has been taken down. Please let my son and grandson go!"

Lu Lingchuan was furious. He waved his sleeves and swept all the tea cups on the red sandalwood table to the ground.

"Xia Huaibei took this unruly man out and chopped him with a knife! He was executed outside Cining Palace!"

"As for Nanny Qin, she helped the emperor to do evil, so she gave her a mute medicine and kicked her out of the palace immediately!"

Lu Lingchuan took a strong breath and ordered repeatedly,

"All of you, please stand down! I have something to say to the Queen Mother!"

After the chaos, only the emperor and the queen mother were left in the main hall of Cining Palace.

Lu Lingchuan's eyes were full of hatred and bitterness. He looked directly at the Queen Mother and walked towards her step by step.

He asked aggressively, "Tell me, what did the queen mother say to the imperial concubine later?"

"And now, where is my noble concubine?"

The Queen Mother also looked back with a pair of stern eyes, "That bitch Zhao Yan poisoned your food after she got pregnant with the child, otherwise the Ai family wouldn't have taken action against her!"

"The Ai family's hard work has resulted in a rebellious son like you!"

The Queen Mother kept turning the beads in her hands, closed her eyes, and kept chanting Amitabha.

Lu Lingchuan sneered "Jie Jie", knowing that the Queen Mother was stalling for time.

He said angrily, "Mother, if you don't say anything, I will bring Concubine Shu here. If you delay for just one second, I will gouge her with a knife!"

"For a woman, you have really lost your mind!" The Queen Mother pointed at Lu Lingchuan, "The Ai family wants all the veterans of the court to judge!"

Lu Lingchuan snatched the beads from the Queen Mother's hand and threw them to the ground.

He raised his voice and said, "Pass my order! Bring Bai Wanzhu to Cining Palace immediately!"

"No! Don't let Pearl come!"

Seeing that Lu Lingchuan would not give in, the Queen Mother said sadly,

"Whatever Aijia said to Shen Yao, I will tell you now! Wherever she is, Aijia will also tell you!"
