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

"How was Mulan when you came out?" Even though she was extremely anxious in her heart, Mian Yi's expression remained calm.

Li Dongbao replied with a pale face: "The servant just came out of the palace, and I heard that the four entrances and exits of the palace have been sealed off, and no one is allowed to enter or leave."

Mian Yi nodded, and he slowly got up from the seat, feeling very dignified in his heart.

He really didn't expect that his younger brother would surprise him with such a beating.

So decisive, yet so reckless.

Doesn't he know that what he is doing this time is very dangerous?

The chances of it happening are hardly one in ten thousand.

But he still did it.

What can he rely on now?

Those guards in front of Huang Ama?

Those people would really take chestnuts out of the fire for him?

And the ministers who followed Yujia, they would not have dared to do such a bold thing even after thinking about it.

His only chance of winning is to take advantage of Huang Ama's "fainting" incident to coerce the officials so that they cannot move, and then find someone he trusts in the name of Huang Ama to come to Beijing to control the infantry and command the yamen , Suppressing himself, if it goes well, maybe he can really succeed.

As for the secret decree behind the upright plaque, it's nothing. I'm afraid that Huang Ama has "died suddenly" at this moment, and his fate is set. Whose name is behind the plaque, he doesn't need to worry about it anymore, after all At that time, it is also very simple to forge a will.

Mian Yi thought about the actions that Mian Ning might take, and finally made a decision. He must go to Mulan now. Now Mulan is only in charge of Mian Ning, and those ministers will inevitably be borrowed by Mian Ning. Huang Ama's influence may really make Mianning City, from the worst point of view, he must not be able to stay in Beijing at this time.

Especially when he found out about Huang Ama's fainting, as a dutiful son, he couldn't remain indifferent.

Thinking like this, Mian Yi immediately got up: "Okay, Eunuch Li, thank you for sending me the news, you can go down and rest, this time, if I have a chance in the future, I will definitely repay you."

Li Dongbao heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this, saluted, and then retreated.

When Li Dongbao went out, Mian Yi immediately ordered the guards in front of her, and had a private discussion with the current infantry commander in Beijing, and then hurriedly left Beijing for Mulan.

The people below thought that the emperor ordered someone to summon Mian Yi, so they didn't dare to stop them, but they didn't suspect that something serious happened to Mulan.

……

And now in the Old Summer Palace, Sining finally saw her third son. Regardless of her status, she welcomed her son in, looked him up and down carefully, and was relieved to see that he was not injured.

Mian Chen also smiled and let her look at her: "Emiang, don't worry, my son is fine."

Si Ning breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked Mian Yi and Wu Linzhu who were still in Beijing, and Mian Yi and Mian Chen's family members.

Mian Chen naturally responded one by one.

Hearing that they were all well, Si Ning's other half breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then what's the situation in Beijing and China today?" Si Ning asked.

Mian Chen replied: "All the gates of the city have been blocked, and the people in command of the infantry in the yamen are hunting for thieves everywhere. I think it has settled down now."

Si Ning nodded: "That's good."

After finishing speaking, he paused and said: "Since that's the case, you can go down and rest first, the road is full of dust, and I feel distressed when I see it."

But Mian Chen smiled: "Emiang, my son is not so fragile yet, I have to talk to the guards in the garden first, don't worry, I won't wrong my son."

Si Ning didn't understand these things either, so he could only nod his head: "That's fine."

After Mian Chen finished replying, he left in a hurry, Si Ning watched him go out, frowning.

Although Mian Chen said that everything in Beijing is good, she still feels a little uneasy in her heart.

At this moment, Qingdai came in and reported: "Your Majesty, the maid in front of Rufei Empress came to ask if something happened in the palace?"

Si Ning frowned, thinking that there is no need for Concubine Ru to know about this, she is still pregnant with a child, it would be bad if she was startled.

Thinking of this, Si Ning said in a deep voice: "Tell her there's nothing wrong, it's just that Mian Chen came to pay me a visit, so that she can raise her baby with peace of mind."

Qing Dai also knew Si Ning's concerns, so she didn't say much, and bowed to accept the order to leave.

……

This time Mian Yi really rushed to Mulan without stopping.

But what he doesn't know is that Mulan's situation is now frozen.

Jiaqing fainted this time, and there was no sign of waking up for a long time.

The ministers outside were panicked, and all wanted to see the emperor.

However, Mianning stood in front of Jiaqing and ignored it. He also used Jiaqing's mouth to let a person who supported him take the position of commander of the infantry, and returned to Beijing to suppress the rebellion. Then he asked the guards to guard all the ministers. Its name is, don't let these people mess up.

Among the guards, some of them didn't know why, so they could only obey in a daze, but some of them sensed that something was wrong, and immediately went to their immediate boss, Qing Gui, to ask him for an idea.

Qinggui's heart is also burning with urgency now, he can see that the second elder brother is going to make trouble, but now the emperor is unconscious, some things are really difficult to handle.

After thinking about it again and again, Qing Gui found a group of people who were optimistic about the elder brother, and went to the big tent to ask to see him.

Mianning sat in the big tent, looking at Huang Ama, who was lying on the bed with a sallow face and barely making a sound, with a cold expression.

The little eunuch trembled and said: "Second Lord, all the courtiers outside want to see the emperor."

Mianning's tone was light: "Tell them, the emperor is inconvenient and can't see people, let them all go back."

The little eunuch looked embarrassed: "They, they don't listen to the slave..."

Mianning sneered: "Then leave them alone, this group of soft bones will never make things happen no matter what."

The little eunuch sighed inwardly, and complied.

"Ha Lang'a left?" Mianning asked again after a long time.

Mianning trembled with the eunuch who was serving in front of him, and replied in a low voice: "He has already set off, and he said that he has remembered what Cheng Engong said to him in person."

Mianning nodded, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, his uncle is still useful, at least now when he is inconvenient to come out, he can use him to win people's hearts.

This time, the person who came to Jiaqing to report the letter was not only him, but also Haranga.

I'm afraid even his good brother Mian Yi didn't notice this.

He acted in front of Huang Ama, and Haranga who came with him would definitely not be able to escape the suspicion. After all, the relationship between them is there. If Haranga is smart, he will know how to act. .

Otherwise, if Huang Ama wakes up, Haranga will inevitably die.

Mianning never underestimated the emperor's suspicion.

As for whether Harang'a will turn to Mianyi after returning to Beijing, Mianning is not worried at all, because he has long seen that Halang'a is loyal to Huang Ama, but deep down he is An ambitious man, he will never let go of this opportunity.

At that time, when he was in power, Haranga shunned him a lot, but after he lost power, Haranga got closer to him. At that time, he understood the man's speculative nature.

But apart from these, he also has other arrangements in Beijing, even if Haranga can't get things done, he still has someone to cover his back.

Thinking like this, Mianning asked again: "Is E Luoli still honest now?"

The eunuch nodded: "Honestly, it's not making trouble now."

He hesitated for a while after speaking.

Mianning frowned: "If you have anything else to say, just say it."

The eunuch lowered his head and whispered, "E Luoli's apprentice Li Dongbao is gone."

When Mianning heard this, she stood up abruptly, with a terrible and ugly expression on her face: "Why did you disappear? Hurry up and look for it!"

The little eunuch knelt on the ground with a mournful face: "Before E Luoli said that Li Dongbao had gone to get medicine for the emperor, and the servants didn't care, but after seeing Li Dongbao come back for a long time, the servants felt that it was wrong, and asked Eunuch E, he didn't respond. gone."

Mian Ning's eyes were full of emotions, he was betting that he was not equal to Mian Yi's information, if something happened because of a eunuch, it would be a big joke.

Mianning's eyes flashed a glint of sternness, and he said in a cold voice: "Pass the word down, say that elder brother and the thieves have a tradition, if you want to do something wrong, if you see it, you can kill him!"

The little eunuch collapsed on the ground in fright, his lips trembling, unable to utter a word.

Mianning was furious and kicked him: "Hurry up!"

The little eunuch tremblingly replied, and then he scrambled out.

Mianning walked up and down the room anxiously.

He could almost figure out what this good brother did, and he would definitely come to Mulan.

Maybe others will be afraid, but Mian Yi will definitely not be afraid.

Thinking of this, Mianning sneered, in that case, she had no choice but to tear off the last semblance of warmth with him.

……

Mian Yi ran all the way, day and night, and finally arrived at Mulan in the early hours of the next day.

But this time Mian Yi didn't go there easily, but asked people to inquire about the news first.

Soon the person who inquired about the news came back with a nervous expression on his face.

"My lord, the guards outside the palace are very strict, and the slaves have heard rumors about you, about you..." The guard hesitated a little, and dared not say anything else.

"Just say whatever you want, I forgive you for your innocence." Mian Yi said lightly.

The guard gritted his teeth, and finally told the news he had inquired about: "Someone falsely said that the prince colluded with the thieves and intended to rebel. The emperor ordered that if he saw you, he would be executed without further ado."

Mian Yi couldn't help but sneer when she heard this, she really deserved to be his brother, this cruel and merciless attitude finally had the intention of seizing the heir.

The other guard was full of anxiety, and whispered: "My lord, what should we do now?"

Mian Yi said indifferently: "Don't go there first, find someone, and go to the palace first to meet the halls. I don't believe that he can cover the sky with one hand in the palace."

The guard complied, and then asked himself to go over.

He could see now that the critical moment had come, if the prince couldn't get things done, then those slaves might not end well either.

Although Mulan seemed to be heavily guarded, but because of the impediment to this matter, and the emperor was in a coma, the guards in front of Mianyi easily sneaked in.

This person also followed Mian Yi's instructions and met Qing Gui.

Qing Gui is now filled with panic and can't even sit still. Although he was dismissed from the Military Aircraft Department last year, he is still a Minister of the Interior, so he will follow him this time when he comes to Qiu Xi.

But I never expected that such a thing would happen this time.

He has been to the side of the several ministers several times, but these elders are all present, and they seem to be very stable.

Among them, Dong Gao, the chief minister of military aircraft, was the one he tried his best to win over, but the other party always took the topic away when he mentioned it, as if it was not like to talk about it in depth.

It's just that when they go to the big tent to ask for a meeting every day, these people don't refuse.

Qing Gui knew in his heart what their intentions were, but he couldn't say they were wrong. After all, in the current situation, if the whole family hadn't been tied to Big Brother like him, it would be impossible for him to take advantage of the fire for Big Brother .

At the moment when Qinggui was anxious, someone outside suddenly reported that a guard begged to see him.

Qing Gui's expression flickered slightly, and he sensed the meaning, so he hurriedly asked someone to pass him in.

After seeing that the person who came was the big brother's confidant, he let out a long sigh of relief.

……

Mianning was in the big tent at this time, without the stability he had before, he got up and sat down a little anxiously.

Even if he doesn't go out, he still knows the situation in the palace very well.

He was not sure how much those people below would be convinced by his order. If Mian Yi was really allowed to come to the palace safe and sound, then his plan this time would be over.

Mianning walked up and down the room, finally thought about it, and then went to the inner room.

He walked to Jiaqing's bed, looked at Huang Ama who was still lying on the bed, and couldn't tell what emotion he felt.

Now the medicine he brought over is almost used up, how many more days can he control Huang Ama?

If it is really not possible, is it really necessary to...

Mianning shook her head, no, now is not the time.

If Huang Ama died at this time, the people below didn't know what they would do.

Thinking of this, Mian Ning became more and more uneasy, he sat in front of the couch a little tiredly, very irritable in his heart.

At this moment, the eunuch from outside came in again to deliver a message. This time the little eunuch's face was pale and he looked very disturbed. He tremblingly said: "Second Master, Mr. Dong led a group of ministers and wanted to ask to see the emperor."

Mianning waved her hands irritably: "Do I need to repeat this kind of thing again and again? Tell them, the emperor is unwell and cannot see people!"

The eunuch fell to his knees with a thud, his head firmly pressed against the ground: "My lord, Prince Mu is also here."

Mianning was taken aback for a moment, then his body softened, and the only hope left in his heart completely collapsed.

……

Si Ning was in the garden at this time, feeling something was wrong.

The Tianli believers in Beijing had been arrested, even the capital of the sect, but she saw that Mianchen was getting busier and even more nervous than before.

In and out every day, I don't know what I'm busy with.

After thinking about it, she felt that something was wrong, so she found a time and asked someone to call Mian Chen over and ask him what was going on.

Mian Chen just smiled and comforted her: "It's nothing, it's just that after this incident, there will inevitably be more things left, so don't worry, Er Niang."

Si Ning looked at him and didn't tell himself the truth, sighed: "Okay, now that you are all grown up, I can't control you anymore, you can do whatever you want, but there is one thing, if something really happens , you must tell me."

Listening to the previous words, Mian Chen was a little uneasy at first, but when Si Ning got to the end, she nodded solemnly: "Emiang, don't worry, I will remember it."

Looking at his son's expression, Si Ning knew that he had really remembered his words in his heart, so he didn't say much, and just sighed: "It's been a few days, and I still want to go back to the palace, I don't know your emperor Why hasn't Ma come back yet?"

Hearing this, Mian Chen's face froze, but he quickly lowered his head to hide his emotions.

The day before yesterday Mianyi got news from Mulan, and he also knew about Mulan's situation, but he dared not tell Sining about it.

In his memory, Er Niang and Huang Ama have always been so affectionate. Even when Er Niang was getting older, Huang Ama was very kind to Er Niang. Mother, there is trouble here again.

Mian Chen firmly suppressed the emotions in her heart, then raised her head again in an instant, and said with a smile: "I think I'll be back soon, Er Niang just wait."

Si Ning sighed, nodded and said nothing more.

……

This wait was less than half a month, when Si Ning himself felt that something was wrong, Jiaqing's imperial driver finally returned from Mulan.

As soon as he came back, Si Ning also said that he wanted to meet him, but he didn't have this opportunity. Jiaqing issued an order, saying that he was not feeling well, so he didn't need to greet him, and he would wait until he returned to the palace.

Si Ning was already very disturbed at this moment.

She called Mian Yi back and wanted to ask him what happened.

This is also the first time Mian Yi sees Si Ning in more than half a month, he looks a little tired, his eyes are dark blue, and he has lost some weight.

But when he faced Si Ning, he was still calm. He didn't have as many worries as Mian Chen, because he knew Er Niang better than Mian Chen, and he told everything that happened at that time.

"...I passed the news to the Xinggong. Qinggui went to find Dong Gao. Dong Gao was able to see the situation clearly, and immediately asked someone to welcome me in. When I entered the Xinggong, everything that the second brother planned The matter has turned into ashes, the second brother is now being imprisoned, and Huang Ama has also regained consciousness under the diagnosis and treatment of the imperial physician, but now she is still a little weak, in order to hide the eyes and ears, it is difficult to see others."

Hearing these words, Si Ning only felt terrified.

She never expected that such a big thing would happen in just a few days.

She looked at her son who was still calm, her hands trembling.

"Then, what is your Huang Ama doing now?"

Mian Yi stared at Si Ning, and said after a long time: "I'm afraid it's something bad."

Mian Yi used to be a very good talker, no matter how plain the words are, they will always look moving when spoken out of his mouth.

But now, his tone was dry, and such a thrilling thing was said so plainly, he looked at Si Ning, his eyes were a little distracted, as if his soul was not here.

Looking at him, Si Ning also felt dry mouth, and didn't know what to say for a moment.

She suddenly remembered the time when she first met Jiaqing when she had just traveled here.

At that time, he was not Jiaqing, but Yongyan, he was always a kind person, and he spoke softly to her, there was a screen between them, but even so, the comfort in his words made her panic at the time The uneasy heart calmed down a little.

She was thinking at the time that such a gentle person might be a good marriage partner in modern times, but they were in ancient times, separated by not only hundreds of years, but also three years that cannot be smoothed over. views and thoughts.

So there can be no true love between them, but I have to say that even if it is a false love, they have had a warm daily life between them for a long time.

And now, he's not good.

Si Ning could understand the hidden meaning behind this bad feeling, her expression was a little dazed, and her figure couldn't help shaking.

Qing Jin, who was waiting behind her, supported her and said in a hoarse voice: "Niang Niang, don't feel bad."

Si Ning was at a loss, what was there to feel uncomfortable about, she just felt a little sudden.

Mian Yi also came forward at this time, he knelt in front of Si Ning, weeping and said: "Er Niang, don't worry, Huang Ama will be fine."

Si Ning closed his eyes, held his son's hand, and said softly, "Good boy, it's all up to you."

Mian Yi nodded, suppressing her grief, and said softly: "Emiang, you go and rest, when you return to the palace tomorrow, Huang Ama will definitely meet you."

Si Ning nodded, not wanting to think too much, was supported by Qing Jin to the back, but the soles of his feet were still a little fluttering.

……

Seeing Si Ning leave, Mian Yi slowly got up from the ground, he turned his head and looked outside, his eyes that were originally filled with tears had been replaced by coldness and solemnity.

He walked out of Si Ning's residence step by step, the sky outside was already dark, and the night wind was a bit chilly.

He tightened his cloak and walked towards Jiuzhou Qingyan.

Zhang Wanfu, the eunuch behind, opened his mouth, wanting to say something.

Elder brother has been serving the emperor for several days and nights, it's time to take a rest.

But when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say a word, he could only accompany Mianyi silently, and went to Jiuzhou Qingyan together.

……

When he entered the bedroom, Jiaqing was coughing. He was lying weakly on the couch, looking at his son in front of him, feeling a little dazed in his eyes.

Is this his Mianyi?It has grown so tall.

Jiaqing narrowed his eyes, stretched out a somewhat skinny hand, and beckoned to him.

Mian Yi walked forward docilely, knelt down in front of the couch, and held Huang Ama's hand.

Jiaqing smiled: "Stop kneeling like this, it's uncomfortable, just sit by the couch."

Mian Yi got up and sat down.

Jiaqing asked him again: "I saw your mother-in-law? How is she?"

Mian Yi lowered her eyes, her voice was a little hoarse: "Er Niang was frightened when she heard the news."

Jiaqing sighed: "I told you to tell her slowly, but you didn't listen."

Mian Yi didn't say a word.

However, Jiaqing continued: "However, your mother is not a weak mind, and you will be able to calm down soon after thinking about it."

As she spoke, she sighed again: "She was like this when she was young. Even though I doted on her in my heart, I always wronged her because of some incidents. At that time, she never complained, nor told me about her grievances, let alone At that time, I felt that she understood my embarrassment, so I endured those grievances, and thinking about it now, I'm afraid I was wrong."

Mian Yi still lowered her head and did not speak.

Jiaqing didn't say anything more on this topic, but said lightly: "Go back to sleep tonight, don't suffer any more, you've lost a lot of weight."

Only then did Mian Yi raise her head, and forced a smile at Jiaqing: "I'm fine, I'll let my son spend more time with you."

Jiaqing also smiled, his eyes full of tenderness: "My good boy, go back, we will return to Beijing tomorrow, we still have a lot of time, during this time, I have wronged you."

Mian Yi looked at Huang Ama's cloudy eyes, seemed to be able to see the weakness and exhaustion behind this person's smile, he finally nodded, saluted, and retreated from the room.

The wind outside was still cool, and Mian Yi's heart was also wobbled by this wind, without a place to rest.
