[Qing Chuan] I became the queen mother after salted fish

Now Dafu Jin has a problem, not only the people in the harem, but also Mianyi and elder brother Yixuan from the previous dynasty were also alarmed.

It was rare for Yixuan to show a look of uneasiness, and Mian Yi saw it, and said in a warm voice, "Go back and see your daughter-in-law, although the imperial doctor said there is nothing serious, but it is inevitable that you will be shocked when something like this happens. .”

Yi Xuan pursed his lips and nodded: "The minister there is resigning now."

Mian Yi nodded slightly.

Seeing her son go out, the expression on Mian Yi's face changed slightly, and he said coldly to Zhang Wanfu who was behind him: "Go and investigate this matter, why did Dafu Jin fall for no reason."

Zhang Wanfu responded immediately, and then hurried out.

Mian Yi's eyes became more and more stern, this time, it's better not to have anything, otherwise he won't just let go of those who dare to reach out on this matter.

……

Not to mention Mian Yi's thoughts, Si Ning is also panicking in the Changchun Immortal Pavilion now, after thinking about it, she decided to go and have a look in person, Qing Dai who was in front of her hurriedly persuaded her: "Mother, I'm afraid that brother So it's messed up, you're gone, and the Empress wants to take care of you again, I'm afraid it won't be of much use."

Of course Si Ning understands this truth, she was silent for a moment, and finally said: "Even so, I have to express my opinion, when Qing Jin comes back, let her go to Elder Brother's place to visit me in person, and say that I said it, This matter must be investigated to the end!"

Si Ning can turn a blind eye to some trivial matters, because she knows that no one is perfect in this world, and you can't demand everyone with the standards of a saint.

But now, the matter has come to this point, and he even stretched out his hand on the child, then this matter cannot be let go so easily.

As soon as Si Ning finished speaking, Qing Jin came in, she also heard what she said before, and hurriedly stepped forward to take orders: "Your servant, I'm going to Elder Brother's office now."

Si Ning nodded: "Be careful, talk less and listen more when you are in front of Da Fujin, no matter what happens, you must write down every word, and tell me when you come back."

Qing Jin nodded: "Don't worry, the servant will definitely scout out the news with all his heart."

Si Ning nodded, and didn't say any more, and let Qing Jin go.

……

Now the elder brother's courtyard is really like what Qing Dai said, it is really a mess, the empress is so angry that people pinch the servants who were present at the time for interrogation, and I call Concubine Yi and Concubine Zhuang Follow up with the trial.

At this time Concubine Yi and Concubine Zhuang were both very frightened, their faces were pale, they dared not say a word that was superfluous, the queen answered every question, very honest.

Especially Concubine Yi, she did not have the usual pride, because she clearly knew that today's matter was not good, and she was afraid that her future in the palace would be ruined.

As for Concubine Zhuang, she was used to being honest, and the queen didn't take her seriously, she just stared at Concubine Yi and asked.

Concubine Yi was covered in cold sweat when asked, and the queen even asked why she stopped Concubine Zhuang today to talk by that lake.

Concubine Yi was on the verge of collapse, and could only answer in tears: "It's hot in the garden, and my concubine just came out for a walk. It was hot and naturally went to the lake. Seeing that Concubine Zhuang was there, I stopped her casually. As for why you asked, I don't know the concubine, I can talk to all the sisters in this palace, no matter who I meet on the road, I will say a few more words, the place where I talk today is also a shady place, Seeing Da Fujin approaching, we were still afraid of the danger by the lake, so we walked towards her, who knew we only took two steps, just...just..."

"If the concubine knew about today, she wouldn't gossip with others even if she was killed."

The queen's eyes turned cold, Concubine Yi valued her demeanor the most, but at this moment her demeanor was completely lost, it can be seen that this statement may be true.

But if it weren't for these two people, could it be that Da Fujin was really unlucky?

In a place like the harem, the queen didn't believe in the illusory thing of luck, she turned her head and looked at Concubine Zhuang again.

Concubine Zhuang is an honest person, but sometimes what an honest person does will surprise people.

The queen asked slowly: "Concubine Zhuang hasn't seen walking around in the garden in the past, why did she remember to come out today?"

Concubine Zhuang was a little nervous, she knew that the queen probably suspected her, and she also had grounds to be suspicious, she gave birth to the fourth prince, compared to Concubine Yi, who has not yet given birth to her elder brother, the interests between her and Da Fujin The conflict is greater.

Concubine Zhuang calmed down and said cautiously: "Madam, I heard that the lotus flowers in the garden are blooming today, and it happens that my concubine is going to embroider a lotus-patterned apron for the fourth elder brother in the next few days, and the flowers at hand don't look good. It's old, so I thought about going to see the newly bloomed lotus and draw a new flower shape."

Seeing Concubine Zhuang's expression of sincerity, the Queen couldn't help but frowned. There was no doubt about what she said. She asked the slaves in front of Concubine Zhuang the same words, and Concubine Zhuang also heard the news that the lotus was blooming. I did hear it by accident.

The Queen's heart sank a little. The combination of so many accidents is the most terrible part of this matter. If there is really someone behind this, then the thoughtfulness of this person is really astonishing.

The queen's face became more and more serious, and she said after a long time: "Since the two of you say you are innocent, then just wait here, and wait until the evidence is verified over there, and you will have your own theory."

Concubine Yi immediately stood up and nodded: "Okay, the concubine is waiting for these evidences, the concubine has done a good job, and she is not afraid of inspection!"

Concubine Zhuang also nodded.

At this time, the queen's doubts about these two people fell to the bottom, and another person appeared in her heart at this time, but of course she would not say this, she just nodded: "Okay, then you can be good." Stay here and wait for the emperor's will."

After finishing speaking, the queen ignored them and hurried out of the room.

As soon as she came out, she asked Wisteria who was guarding the door: "How is Da Fujin?"

Wisteria immediately replied: "I just took the medicine and fell asleep. I heard that the pulse has stabilized."

Only then did the queen breathe a sigh of relief. It had been three years since the elder brother and his wife had conceived. If there was an emergency, she would not be able to accept it, let alone their husband and wife.

At this moment, Yixuan also hurried in from the outside, her face was full of anxiety, and behind her was Qingjin.

The queen was a little surprised, first she greeted Yixuan, and then looked at Qingjin: "But what orders does the empress dowager have?"

Qing Jin smiled: "There is no other order, but the empress is worried about Da Fujin's body and asked the servant to come and have a look."

The queen sighed after hearing these words: "I made the empress dowager worry, but I asked the nanny to report it on her behalf. Now Dafu Jin's body has stabilized, and he is resting in the house now."

Qing Jin heard this and nodded with a smile: "Since that's the case, the slave won't go in and disturb her. It's just that the Empress Dowager still has something for the slave to bring to the Empress Empress. The empress said that this matter must be thoroughly investigated, and nothing can be done. Let go."

Hearing this, the queen was also relieved, as long as the queen mother valued this matter and supported her, then she would be able to investigate this matter carefully.

While the two were talking, Yixuan couldn't wait any longer, said something casually, and went to the back room.

The queen smiled at Qing Jin with some embarrassment: "This child usually looks stable, but now he is a little impatient."

Qing Jin just smiled: "Da Fujin has such a big incident, it's not unusual for Big Brother to be impatient."

Seeing that Qing Jin didn't intend to give any advice, the queen knew that she was probably here to inquire about the news. Now, she didn't have any reason to hide these things from the queen mother, so she took the initiative to invite Qing Jin to the side hall and told her about her current situation. things investigated.

"That pebble is strange, but apart from that pebble, everything else is logical. Concubine Yi is used to going out and walking around at noon every day. Concubine Zhuang also heard that the lotus bloomed to see the lotus. Have your own reasons."

"As for the slaves in front of me, they all testified that the two masters were far away from each other. Even Da Fujin's own slaves also said that the two masters had never been close to Da Fujin. This matter is somewhat unclear at the moment. gone."

Qing Jin also felt strange when he heard this matter, it happened too completely, not only harmed Da Fujin, but also involved two high-ranking concubines, judging by what the empress meant, it couldn't be...

Just as she was thinking about it, someone outside suddenly sent a message: "Ningfei Empress is here, saying she is here to visit Da Fujin."

The queen's face straightened, and Qing Jin also put away her thoughtful expression, and walked out with the queen.

As soon as she went out, she happened to see Concubine Ning coming in. She was wearing a light blue swallow's suit, and she didn't wear any hairpins. She seemed to have received a message suddenly, and came here before she got dressed.

The queen's expression was indifferent, seeing Concubine Ning coming forward to salute, she just yelled lightly.

When Concubine Ning anxiously asked about Da Fujin in the room, the empress looked at her carefully, and then said: "It's okay now, please worry about it."

"Your Majesty, what are you talking about?" Concubine Ning sighed, "I have spoken to Da Fujin a few times in the past, and I know that she is a kind person. People, not to mention Da Fujin's identity, it's only natural for concubines to worry."

Concubine Ning was different from others, she didn't talk about such illusory things as royal family affection, on the contrary, she started with Da Fujin, which seemed extraordinarily sincere.

It's just that she is the person the queen suspects the most now. After all, two prominent people in the harem are involved, and she is the only one left. It is only natural that the queen should be suspicious.

But now there is no evidence at all, and the queen is naturally not good at making random accusations, so she just said indifferently: "Concubine Ning has a heart."

Concubine Ning smiled softly, turned her head and saw Qing Jin again, and said softly: "Did the empress dowager also be alarmed?"

Adhering to the principle of saying less and doing more, Qingjin only replied cautiously and had nothing else to say.

Concubine Ning saw the situation at this time, and she didn't dare to get close to Qing Jin anymore, so she could only follow the queen to the side hall to drink tea.

And now the Ministry of Internal Affairs has begun to vigorously investigate this matter.

The moss-covered pebble that Dafujin just arrived was just cleaned up this morning, but for some reason, it went back now.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs interrogated the little eunuch who was cleaning the ground at that time, and only then did they know that a little palace lady had come to play here today.

After repeated investigations, they found out that the little maid was actually from Concubine Yi's palace.

Now they didn't dare to investigate further, and hurriedly reported to the queen.

The queen's face was very gloomy when she heard the news.

Concubine Ning on the other side also stood up suddenly at this time, pleading for Concubine Yi: "Your Majesty, it is absolutely impossible for Concubine Yi to do this matter. Although Madam, she looked a little inappropriate in the past, but she acted inappropriately." But he is decent and would never do such a nasty thing.”

The queen sneered: "It's not something you can explain clearly in one sentence, come here, go and bring me the little maid from Concubine Yi's palace!"

At this moment, Qing Dai suddenly came in from outside, she said with a smile: "No need, this little maid has already been caught."

Along with her came in a few rough envoys and eunuchs in front of the empress dowager, and they were escorting a little maid in their hands.

Qing Jin could tell at a glance that those were the people he sent out to watch Concubine Yi and Concubine Zhuang's palace, and now that they escorted this little maid over, it seemed that someone really wanted to play a trick of killing people to silence them.

The queen was also a little surprised, but looking at the scene in front of her, she quickly figured out the joints, and nodded as if relieved: "Thanks to the thoughtful consideration of the empress dowager, otherwise people would have taken advantage of it."

Qing Dai just smiled and didn't say much, she just asked someone to hand over the little lady-in-waiting to the queen.

"Your Majesty, this servant has finished what the Empress Dowager ordered, and it's time to go back to work." She resigned after calling her.

Naturally, the queen would not stop her and let her go.

But Qing Jin didn't go back with her, she still has to bear the development of this matter.

When Qing Dai left, she raised her eyebrows at Qing Jin, looking a little funny, Qing Jin pursed her lips and showed a smile, after all, she didn't blame her for anything.

As soon as the queen raised her hand, she took the person aside and waited. She turned to look at Concubine Ning, but found that she was still indifferent. Seeing the queen looking over, she sighed: "It must be that this court lady was bribed to do such a thing. How can the imperial concubine do such a trick that can be easily seen through by others."

The queen sneered in her heart, but her face remained calm, she just said indifferently: "What exactly is going on, we won't know until the interrogation."

After speaking, he turned and entered the house.

Concubine Ning stood where she was, looking at the Queen's back, with a somewhat awkward expression. She couldn't help but glance at Qing Jin who hadn't left yet, and whispered, "Mum, what misunderstanding did the Empress have about me?"

Qing Jin smiled faintly: "Your Majesty, why don't you ask the Empress Dowager yourself, but the slave doesn't know about it." After she finished speaking, she turned and went into the room.

Concubine Ning looked at the backs of the two of them, and there was a gloomy look in her eyes, but soon, she hid her emotions again, raised her feet and followed in.

……

At this time, Si Ning was waiting for news in the Changchun Immortal Pavilion.

But when Qingdai came back first, she looked calm, told Sining about the current situation of Dafu Jin, and comforted her: "Your Majesty, don't worry, Eldest brother is back, the emperor must know about today's situation The news will definitely be found out.”

Si Ning sighed, even if this kind of thing is found out, I'm afraid the whole harem will be hurt. She really doesn't want to see this kind of thing happen, but why are some people so restless? ?

Si Ning's mood was a little gloomy for a while, she always felt that the things in this world seemed to be a strange circle, when you thought you had stepped out of it, in fact, you just stepped into a new strange circle, like an endless cycle of reincarnation.

Perhaps the nature of human nature determines that this kind of thing will never stop, and she knows it in her heart, but it's just a little sad.

Thinking like this, Si Ning got up from the couch, and said softly: "I'll go to the Buddhist hall to sit down."

Qingdai was a little surprised, Niang Niang seldom ate fast and recited Buddha in the past, what happened today?

Si Ning was not in the mood to explain, but with Qing Dai's support, she went to the Buddhist hall behind.

The Buddha in this Buddhist hall was personally consecrated by the master on Mount Wutai, and the golden body was carved very beautifully, but when it was placed here, she rarely came in.

Now I don't know what to think, Si Ning wants to come in for no reason.

She didn't kneel down either, she just sat on the cushion.

Looking at this scene, Qing Dai was not surprised, she had long been used to the empress being indifferent to gods and Buddhas, so she only said that she must call her if something happened, and then went out to wait carefully.

Si Ning sat alone in the Buddhist hall, staring fixedly at the Buddha statue, his thoughts surging.

Why did she come to this era?

change history?She asked herself that she didn't have this ability, and the wheel of history rolled forward, and she was just a small dust under the wheel.

What she can do is to try her best to change some things within her power, hoping that the world will change in the future.

And now, her dust is also old, and is about to come to the end of her life.

Thinking of this, Si Ning gave a wry smile, which is also very interesting. I never believed in these ghosts and gods in the first half of my life, but now that I am old and old, I suddenly can't help but want to find a sustenance.

But since I can travel through time, it means that these things in this world are also uncertain.

She raised her hand and touched her cheek. Although she tried her best to take care of her cheeks, she was already old because of her age. After this incident was over, she would go to Mount Wutai for a pilgrimage. Whether it is sustenance, it can be regarded as a kind of memorial service to myself for so many years since I came to this world.

Si Ning wanted to understand this, so she got up and walked to the desk next to the altar, she picked up a pen, and wrote the Heart Sutra that she had memorized by heart.

Although she doesn't believe in Buddhism, but because of the habits in this palace, she is very familiar with these Buddhist scriptures, which has to be said to be a kind of black humor.

But now it is even more convenient. She wrote these Buddhist scriptures silently without stumbling at all. While copying, she silently made a wish in her heart. She only hoped that after this incident, her children and grandchildren would be well.

……

The Heart Sutra is a very short Buddhist scripture, so it didn't take long after Si Ning finished copying it.

She was thinking about whether to copy another Diamond Sutra, but Qing Dai outside said suddenly: "Niang Niang, the people in front of the emperor have come and said they want to talk to you."

Si Ning paused, and a drop of ink fell on the words just copied so abruptly.

This page was considered ruined, Si Ning put down the pen, casually rubbed that page and threw it aside, then asked Qing Dai to come in and talk.

"Who's here?" Si Ning asked.

"It's Zhang Wanfu's little apprentice." Qing Dai replied.

Si Ning nodded: "Bring him over, I won't go out."

Qing Dai nodded, and then went out to lead people.

Si Ning knew in her heart that if she came here now, the conclusion of this matter might have been reached.

This person said that he came to talk back, but he was probably just telling her a result.

Si Ning waited for a while, the little eunuch came in, he looked smart, fair and delicate, smiling before saying anything, he really looked like a face that could make a difference in front of the imperial court.

"The slave pays respects to the Empress Dowager."

Si Ning raised his hand: "There's no need to say anything superfluous, let's talk about what happened this time?"

The little eunuch swallowed his saliva, suppressed the tension in his heart, and then said in a calm manner: "The servant is ordered by the emperor to report to the empress dowager, the whole story of Dafu Jin's shocking pregnancy this time, the little maid in front of the concubine Yigui After being taken down, after interrogation, she was indeed ordered to frame the noble concubine Yi, but she didn't know who the descendant was, and the emperor asked someone to investigate the person who contacted the little maid. After searching around the palace, she found that the person had disappeared. gone."

"The emperor is now asking people to investigate that person's background, but apart from this, there is some clues about the affairs of Concubine Zhuang's place. The person who let Concubine Zhuang hear the lotus blooming by chance is the servant of Concubine Ning's palace. Concubine Ning yelled that she was wronged at the time, and the empress also felt that there was something wrong, but the emperor, the emperor ordered Concubine Ning to be guarded, and then asked the servant to answer you."

Si Ning frowned.

In fact, as soon as this incident happened, she guessed whether Concubine Ning did it.

Because it's too obvious, Concubine Yi and Concubine Zhuang are both involved, isn't Concubine Ning the most suspicious?

But the more she was like this, the more she would think about it, whether someone had arranged it like this and deliberately planted it on Concubine Ning.

But now Mian Yi only got some clues, but directly grounded Concubine Ning. Did he notice something?

Si Ning couldn't figure it out, but seeing how Mian Yi handled it, I'm afraid it has something to do with Concubine Ning.

Si Ning was silent for a while and said, "What about the third elder brother?"

"The third elder brother handed over to the empress, and the second princess also went there together."

Si Ning sighed, seeing that the second princess was about to get married, how could it be like this.

"Okay, I see, you go back, and report to the emperor by the way, just say that he can decide these things himself, and don't need to report back to me."

Si Ning is tired of these fights now, she really wants to be quiet and quiet.

The little eunuch respectfully responded, then turned around and left.

Si Ning was sitting in front of the table, staring blankly at the scriptures he had copied and destroyed, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, as expected, he still had no destiny with Buddha.

But after the two granddaughters get married, she still wants to go to Mount Wutai. Yongyan believes in that very much, and she also wants to beg for him, so that he can have a good pregnancy in his next life, even if he can't become an emperor, he will still be one Ordinary people, live a safe life.

Si Ning timidly put away the things on the table, and called Qing Dai from outside.

Seeing the mess on the table, Qing Dai was stunned for a moment.

Si Ning said: "Clean up later, help me out now."

She found that after sitting for a while, she felt a little sleepy when she got up, and it was really inconvenient to go everywhere when she was old.

Qing Dai hastily stepped forward to help Si Ning, while supporting Si Ning, she blamed herself: "But the servant disturbed the empress copying scriptures."

Si Ning smiled: "No, it's just that I suddenly lost my mood."
