The queen of the last days became a maid and just wanted to lie down

Marquis Danyang felt really embarrassed when he mentioned this.

If he didn't trust his wife very much and the couple had a harmonious relationship, he would not have been willing to mention this matter to Qin.

After hearing this, Qin was struck by lightning and looked at her husband in disbelief.

The Marquis of Danyang is nearly forty years old, and he lives a life of luxury and takes good care of himself.

Even today, when he goes out, he is still a nobleman with an upright figure and elegant temperament.

Such a handsome face has not become haggard and old because of the passage of time. On the contrary, because of the precipitation of time, it has gained a bit of calmness and dignity that young people do not have.

Qin could say that if she died outside today, someone would come to propose marriage to Marquis Danyang soon.

Thinking of this, Qin couldn't help but laugh.

She finally understood why she was assassinated. It turned out that her husband was too outstanding and attracted a lot of peach blossoms.

This Jia Mingzhu has been wanting to marry into the Danyang Marquis's Mansion for a long time.

But when they got married, Jia Mingzhu was only twelve years old, a yellow-haired girl, and the old marquis's wife looked down on her.

now......

Qin saw that her husband looked uncomfortable and stopped smiling.

"She is so bold and reckless. I am a royal consort after all. Doesn't Jia Mingzhu have any scruples at all?"

The Marquis of Danyang paused and sighed. "Zhang Weiming was imprisoned a few days ago."

Qin knew this Minister of War, Zhang Weiming, and it seemed that he was the Empress Dowager's man. He held a very important position. How come he was suddenly thrown into prison?

"Madam, you don't know that General Lu suddenly led his troops south and captured Ghost Eye City. This was initiated by His Majesty and was not approved by the Queen Mother."

As soon as this matter came out, the Queen Mother knew that Zhang Weiming had betrayed her, so she used the excuse that he had been absent from his post and put him in prison.

It looked like the Queen Mother was angry and the Emperor backed down.

But in fact, what this reflects is that the emperor is becoming more and more powerful and is beginning to challenge the authority of the empress dowager.

The fact that even something like sending troops could be decided without the Queen Mother's permission shows a lot of problems.

"So what does this have to do with the Jia family wanting to kill me?"

Qin didn't understand. Marquis Danyang patted her hands, led her to sit on the couch, poured her a cup of tea, and said to her, "You also know that I am in the Ministry of Personnel. As the Minister of Personnel, I hold real power. The transfer of many court officials must go through my hands. They have long wanted to win me over. In the past, they only used some small tricks, and I could fool them with perfunctory tactics. But now, the Jia family is coming with great momentum, and they are no longer satisfied with this. They want to win me over completely and make me their own."

This is the awkwardness of Beichen's court. This is not a struggle for power between princes, but a contest between the empress dowager and the emperor, mother and son.

No matter who you stand with, you are likely to get into trouble in the end. It is not easy to remain neutral.

Marquis Danyang has tried very hard to maintain a neutral stance over the years. He will not deliberately favor anyone, and he always acts fairly and in accordance with the law.

But even so, because he holds real power, he cannot avoid being targeted and encountering a lot of trouble.

This time, the Jia family took action not only because they wanted to use this incident to force Marquis Danyang to marry Jia Mingzhu and completely stand on the emperor's side.

More importantly, this is a temptation and persecution.

If the Marquis of Danyang surrenders, then the others should also make a choice between the Queen Mother and the Emperor.

There is no room for two tigers in one mountain, even if they are mother and son.

Qin couldn't help wanting to curse, but after thinking it over she held it back.

After all, they are mother and son. Can Your Majesty really do anything to the Queen Mother?

The Queen Mother only had this one son, so it was impossible for her to kill the Emperor. This put the ministers in a very difficult position.

It's a pity that the Queen Mother worked so hard to raise the child all these years, but in the end, hatred arose between mother and son due to the power struggle.

Thinking of this, she could not help but angrily rebuke Master Jia: "The late emperor was really blind to choose him as the master. This man is good at calculating, and his mind is full of power struggles. He only thinks about fighting for power and profit. Has he ever done anything for the people of the world? Although the Queen Mother's reign was not perfect, how the people have lived these years, doesn't the Marquis know?"

How could the Marquis of Danyang not know this? But to be honest, the Queen Mother is old and she is a woman after all, so it is impossible for her to hold power for her whole life.

The young emperor is the future of the country.

The Marquis of Danyang was somewhat wavering in his heart, and seeing him like this, Qin didn't know what to say.

She said, "Jia Mingzhu has attacked me more than a dozen times along the way. It's clear that she wants to kill me. You can't just do nothing. Otherwise, in their eyes, you are condoning their plot to murder me."

The Marquis of Danyang quickly waved his hands and said no, "No, no, Madam, please don't talk nonsense. Madam is the only one in my heart. How dare I do such a thing and make Madam sad."

"What is the Marquis going to do? Since Jia Mingzhu has not been successful, I am afraid he will not let me go easily next time."

After thinking about it, Marquis Danyang decided to let her stay at home and not go out.

No matter who came to invite him, he would pretend to be sick and refuse.

"But I can hide for a while, but you can't let me hide forever, right?"

The Marquis of Danyang thought for a moment and said, "That depends on what the investigation of the assassination of Grand Tutor Wang reveals."

Qin sent the Marquis of Danyang away and sat in the room for a long time without saying a word. When Madam Liu came in with some tea and snacks, she also heard a few words outside the door and couldn't help but feel sorry for her own wife.

"This Jia Mingzhu is really vicious. She had evil intentions towards the master all those years ago. When you first appeared in Panjing, she united with her sisters to fight against you. At that time, the Jia family used her young age to fool her. Later, it was really embarrassing and she had to marry out because of the shame.

As for Jia Mingzhu's character, who in Beijing doesn't know what kind of person she is? Who would have thought that she is now more shameless than before, and instead of staying at home to observe her chastity as a widow, she is even thinking about murdering someone else's wife and taking her place? Look at this Jia family, there is not a single good person.

In my opinion, a bolt of lightning should strike down and kill this family. It would be better if they died cleanly, so that they would not harm the people every day and would not be obsessed with other people's husbands. "

Qin was originally in a heavy mood, but after hearing what Madam Liu said, she couldn't help but chuckle, "Mother, you are such a talker that most people can't compete with you. Just don't tell anyone else about this. It will be bad for the Marquis's Mansion if it gets out."

Mother Liu felt sorry for her, but she was not without measure.

"I know, but the Marquis doesn't care about Madam at all. He doesn't want to do anything for her. He just lets you pretend to be sick at home. It's really frustrating."

Qin thought for a moment and said, "Mom, can you help me find out how long Jia Mingzhu has been back?"

"Why do you ask?"

"It is said that only when you know yourself and your enemy can you win every battle. She has been away from Panjing for too long, and I know nothing about her now. Even if I want to deal with her, it will be difficult to start."

When Madam Liu heard her say this, she nodded and said, "Don't worry, Madam. I will send someone to get information and investigate her thoroughly. Jia Mingzhu is so arrogant and domineering. She must have done something bad after returning. Who knows, she may have offended many people. Please wait, I will go right away."

Qin nodded and called her again: "Have Master Xu and his disciples been settled?"

"Everything has been arranged. Does Madam have any other instructions?"
