Chapter 261 Who is bright and who is dark
Lin Junxue narrowed her eyes
Danzhen was right, that's why she had to prepare the handkerchief in advance.
Xie Yu was suspicious by nature. If she hadn't taken out the handkerchief today, it would have proved that the amulet was made by Nanny Wu.
Who can explain this matter clearly in the future?
Therefore, today, this bomb must be buried in Xie Yu's heart, making this amulet completely useless.
In this case, no matter how the Queen Mother tries to quibble in the future, in Xie Yu's view, this is just stabbing him in the heart repeatedly.
Guyu continued, "Your Majesty, the Emperor is sad and angry, he will definitely not agree to the Queen Mother returning to the palace."
Lin Junxue picked up the notes in the book again and shook her head.
"The Queen Mother has raised the Emperor for many years, and the mother-son relationship is very strong. If the Emperor really didn't care about the Queen Mother, he wouldn't be so sad and angry today. Moreover, after the guards return to Yushan in just a few days, if the Emperor still doesn't invite the Queen Mother back to the palace, the Queen Mother will definitely not sit still and wait for death. She will definitely have another trick up her sleeve. If the Queen Mother gives in so easily, she is not the Queen Mother anymore."
She also wanted to see what other tricks this empress dowager, whom she had never met before, would come up with.
Thinking about it, she was looking forward to it. Only by fighting with smart people could she be alert at all times and never slack off or be careless.
"It's only a matter of time before the Queen Mother returns to the palace, but I won't let her come back so soon. As for how long it can be delayed, it depends on how long it takes Gao Cheng to find out that Concubine Mo was poisoned and Concubine Si committed suicide."
Xie Yu asked Gao Cheng to investigate the matter personally, so he must find out something.
Even if the Queen Mother does everything to make sure nothing goes wrong, Xie Yu will definitely find clues if he gets to the bottom of it.
However, she guessed that even if Xie Yu really found out that this matter had something to do with the Queen Mother, it would eventually come to nothing.
Because how can the life of a mere concubine in the harem compare to the noble reputation of the empress dowager who is supreme and respected by the world?
But at least the Queen Mother's plan to return to the palace now will be delayed, that's enough.
For the Queen Mother, it was a long tug-of-war between them.
In the past, the Queen Mother was in the dark while the original owner was in the light, and they were plotted to death.
Now the Queen Mother is in the light and she is in the dark, so the fun is yet to come.
in a few days
Yushan
In the solemn and dignified hall, a woman in her early forties sat on the main seat, with her eyes closed, taking a nap.
The woman was wearing emerald Buddhist beads in her hands, her hair was covered with gorgeous pearls and jade, there was a red mole on the tip of her nose, her hair was as black as ink, her skin was fair, and her appearance was absolutely beautiful. This was the current empress dowager, An Su.
When the late emperor first met her, he fell in love with her at first sight and took her into the palace, favoring her for more than twenty years.
She has been likened to a pearl in the world, a fairy from heaven, and a goddess of beauty.
Although An Su has grown older over the years, her stunning beauty from her youth can still be seen.
Standing next to her was Nanny Wu, who had served her since she was a child. Her eagle-hook eyes scanned the guards kneeling on the ground below.
quite a while
An Su slowly opened his eyes and looked at the guard who was kneeling on the ground reporting, with a slight sneer on his face.
deep voice
"You said that the emperor was about to let me return to the palace, but by chance, the maidservant beside the queen came to bring a bowl of soup, and the emperor changed his mind?"
The guard bowed his head
"Your Majesty, it is true. I saw that the Emperor had already changed his mind when he received the amulet you sent him, and wanted you to return to the palace. But for some reason, the maidservant beside the Queen brought him a bowl of soup, and the Emperor changed his mind after drinking it. At that time, the maidservant did not say anything."
Nanny Wu stepped forward, frowned, and asked the guard to go down first.
Then, she turned to look at An Su, who was sitting in the main seat and had a changed expression.
"Queen Mother, please don't be angry"
Next second
The Queen Mother slammed the Buddhist beads in her hand heavily on the table, her face darkened.
"Empress, I really underestimated her. She was previously confined by that idiot Chen Xier. I sent someone back to the palace, but they didn't kill her and let her survive. Over the past year or so, the Empress's personality has changed so much that she has won the Emperor's heart. She also caused Chen Xier, whom I have cultivated for many years, to lose her favor and even her life. Damn it!"
"Queen Mother, why are you so angry? Although the Queen has changed her temper and is temporarily favored by the Emperor, you have watched the Queen grow up since she was a child. How could the Queen escape your Five Fingers Mountain? The Emperor is also new to her for a while. And that Chen Xier, if it weren't for your support behind the scenes, how could she have won the Emperor's favor? You left the palace only three years ago, and she lost to the Queen. She is also useless. What's the pity if she dies? As long as you return to the palace, it will not be difficult to train a confidant to be by the Emperor's side again?"
The Queen Mother said coldly, "I naturally wouldn't take the death of Chen Xi'er to heart, but now, I have already surrendered to the Emperor and sent him a peace amulet, but the Emperor is still angry with me and won't let anyone invite me back to the palace. There must be something wrong with this. I know the Emperor's weaknesses, but this time, there was a mistake. What do you think, did the Queen do something about this?"
Nanny Wu thought about it, shook her head, and said with a very firm tone
"I don't think it was the Queen who stopped you. You have been plotting against her for years, and you wanted to kill her. The Queen couldn't possibly know about it, nor could she guess that it was you. For so many years, the Queen trusted you very much and told you everything. It was impossible for her to think that you wanted to kill her. Besides, how could the Queen know that Chen Xier was someone you have trained for many years? In this case, I don't think the Queen has any reason to stop you from returning to the palace. Maybe something went wrong somewhere else, and it has nothing to do with the Queen."
After listening to Nanny Wu's analysis, the Queen Mother felt relieved and frowned.
"But Your Majesty, why don't you let me go back to the palace? I also think that the Queen doesn't have that ability. The Queen is such a fool. But what if Chen Xier told the Queen about my people before she died?"
Nanny Wu said, "Queen Dowager, this is even more impossible. You chose Chen Xier because of her ambition and jealousy of the Queen. Chen Xier has hated the Queen for so many years. Even if she died, she would not let the Queen have an easy life. Therefore, you will never expose this matter."
The Queen Mother thought about it and it made sense.
"If that's the case, even if the emperor is still angry with me, three years ago, I knew I shouldn't have lost face for Bao'er, but Bao'er is my only princess, how can I not feel bad for her? Why doesn't the emperor think about my difficulties? Your Majesty, she is not my biological daughter after all."
Aunt Wu sighed
"Don't say that again. If the princess hadn't made such a fuss back then, the emperor wouldn't be so angry with you now. You should wait for another two days. Maybe the emperor will come to his senses."
The Queen Mother narrowed her eyes
"This time, have I dealt with the matter thoroughly?"
