The Empress's heart was beating fast, and she suddenly looked up at the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager was so greedy. She didn't think it was enough to control the power, and she also wanted to control the prince!
The Empress Dowager's eyebrows were smiling, and she had the smile of a winner. Fight with her? Even if the Empress's family was put together, they were still not her opponent!
The Empress's tears poured down, and she took several deep breaths to stop sobbing.
Brother Hao was almost killed in front of her eyes. If he left her sight, who could guarantee his safety? It was a good thing that he fell into the Empress Dowager's hands and was taught astray. If he was not careful, he would lose his life.
"Empress Dowager!" The Empress's voice was hoarse and sharp. She wanted to argue. She could not lose her son!
Who would have thought that at this moment, her sleeve would be gently pulled by someone.
She was reminded by this action, and her reason gradually recovered. She quickly squeezed out a smile, "Empress Dowager, your health is important. Taking care of the child is tiring, so chenqie should do it herself. Moreover, although chenqie arranged a wet nurse for the eldest prince, this child is very clingy to me. Chenqie occasionally needs to breastfeed him. "
"It doesn't matter whose milk he drinks. It's not like there are no wet nurses in this palace! Even if there are none, our children who used to eat porridge and soup in the countryside can't grow up? "The Empress Dowager's attitude was very tough.
Was she speaking human words?
The Empress was angry. If she didn't have some reason left, she would have rushed over and torn apart the Empress Dowager's mouth! The Empress Dowager was clearly only doing it for herself. She didn't even care about her own grandson!
She was blind. They lived together for so many years. How could she not realize that the Empress Dowager was such a selfish person who ignored family relations!
The Empress couldn't bear it and almost wanted to die together with the Empress Dowager!
At this time, Qin Yining bowed and said, "Empress Dowager, chenqie thinks that this matter needs to be reported to Your Majesty before making a decision. Although Your Majesty doesn't interfere in the affairs of the harem, the Little Prince is Your Majesty's only legitimate son. Your Majesty must cherish him very much. After asking, do according to Your Majesty's wishes. It won't hurt each other's feelings. "
Qin Yining's words were gentle, but they hit the nail on the head and reminded the Empress.
Today's matter was being dealt with by the Empress Dowager behind closed doors. How she wanted Imperial Concubine Yi to be manipulated was all up to the Empress Dowager. But what if Li Qitian heard about it?
Although the Empress was old, she was still respected by Li Qitian. Otherwise, Li Qitian's first child would not be a legitimate son. There were many beautiful concubines in the womb.
Just based on this point, the Empress' words had weight in Li Qitian's ears.
If the Empress told Li Qitian that his legitimate son was almost killed, how would Li Qitian deal with it? Even if he didn't completely believe her, planting a seed of doubt in his heart was enough to annoy Imperial Concubine Yun.
Moreover, because of the Marquis of Qingyang colluding with Prince Li in the coup in the palace last time, Li Qitian was clearly dissatisfied with the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager had been careful with her words and actions in the palace these days. Wasn't it to pull the relationship between mother and son closer?
If he knew that his birth mother only cared about her niece at the critical moment and did not care about her own grandson, wouldn't everything the Empress Dowager had done be for naught?
The Empress suddenly understood.
At this time, the Empress Dowager looked at Qin Yining as if she wanted to eat him.
Imperial Concubine Yi and Li Helan also put away their complacent expressions. They knew that the Empress would tell Your Majesty no matter what.
The atmosphere was so cold that it seemed to freeze into ice.
The Empress had a pillar of support. Wiping away her tears, she bowed and said: "Chenqie thinks these words are reasonable. After all, the Empress Dowager is old. If she wants to take care of an infant, her strength will fall short of her desire. Chenqie does not want the Empress Dowager to be too tired. If she is exhausted, wouldn't it be Chenqie's fault? The Empress Dowager has worked hard all her life and should enjoy her later years. As for Your Majesty, if Your Majesty is willing to hand the Eldest Prince over to the Empress Dowager, Chenqie will send the child over. "
At this point, the Empress added: "At worst, Chenqie will move to the Empress Dowager's Ci 'an Palace and help the Empress Dowager look after the child. The two of us can be companions, don't you think?"
The Empress Dowager was so angry that she gasped for breath. She angrily glared at the Empress and then fiercely rolled her eyes at Qin Yining.
Ask the Emperor?
If this matter was brought to the Emperor, it would definitely hurt the enemy by a thousand but also hurt herself by eight hundred.
"Forget it. You should take care of the Eldest Prince yourself. Aijia is also tired of the child crying."
"Yes." The Empress was overjoyed. This was the first time she had the upper hand in front of the Empress Dowager.
"However, today's mistake of framing Imperial Concubine Yi cannot be forgotten …" The Empress Dowager continued with a heavy expression.
"The Empress Dowager is right." Without waiting for the Empress Dowager to finish speaking, Qin Yining said, "Who is framing, who is quibbling, and who is reneging, these are all things that have not been determined yet. Since this dynasty has the Imperial Clan Court, it is better to completely hand this matter over to the Imperial Clan Court and not let anyone suffer. Although Chenqie is not talented, I am willing to testify. If the Imperial Clan Court cannot resolve this matter, there is still the Ministry of Justice and the Supreme Court. There will always be a place to reason. "
As long as the Empress Dowager felt that the imperial family could afford to lose this face.
The Empress Dowager angrily glared and fiercely slammed the table: "How dare you! Qin Clan, don't think that just because you are Pang Zhixi's Wangfei, you can stand tall in front of Aijia! You are still far from that! "
Qin Yining took the opportunity to kneel and salute: "Empress Dowager, please calm your anger. Chenqie was only making a suggestion. Whether or not to do it is up to the Empress and Empress Dowager. Since the Empress Dowager feels that Chenqie's words are not good, Chenqie, as an outsider, will not covet the imperial family's matters. Chenqie will take her leave. "
After saying that, Chenqie stood up, saluted, and left. She also took Gong Mama, Ji Yun, and Bing Tang with her on the way out.
The Empress Dowager's trembling index finger pointed fiercely in the direction where Qin Yining left. Her whole body was trembling.
"Look at her! Her man defied the imperial edict, and she dares to be rude to Aijia! Their family must have the intention to rebel! "
The Empress anxiously said: "The imperial harem cannot interfere in politics. Empress Dowager, please be careful with your words. Your Majesty knows whether or not to rebel."
The Empress Dowager suddenly stared at the Empress.
When Li Helan heard that Pang Xiao defied the imperial edict, she was afraid that the Empress Dowager would go to Li Qitian and say something bad about Pang Xiao, so she hurriedly said: "Alright, Mother, it's all in the past. Imperial brother will naturally make a decision on the matters of the imperial court. However, Lan 'er feels that today's matter should be settled with Imperial sister-in-law apologizing to Concubine Yun. Dirty linen should not be aired in public. If this matter is blown up and people see us as a joke, will the imperial family's face still be left? "
Concubine Yun also said: "Reporting to the Empress Dowager, Chenqie is also willing to let bygones be bygones. Chenqie's grievances are nothing. Chenqie only hopes that the family can live in harmony."
The Empress could see that Concubine Yun deliberately said this in front of the Empress Dowager to provoke her!
Just now, Qin Yining took the risk to turn the tables in front of the Empress Dowager. She must protect this situation and not cause any more trouble. Although she was the Empress, she did not have the ability to adapt. She also did not have the wisdom to quarrel with others. She could not let the Empress Dowager have something to use against her.
Thinking of this, the Empress said: "Chenqie also does not want this matter to be blown up, but we cannot suffer losses. Chenqie is Your Majesty's wife and did not wrongly accuse Concubine Yun at all. If Chenqie apologizes, wouldn't Your Majesty's dignity be gone?
"If the Empress Dowager forces Chenqie to apologize, Chenqie will have to prove her innocence, for the imperial family's face, and for Hao ge 'er to not be talked about behind his back in the future. Chenqie can only go and beat the drum."
"You! It seems that you really want to make life difficult for Aijia! "
"Chenqie does not dare. If the road is not smooth, then I will cry out. "
"Good, good! Get out for Aijia! "
The Empress curtsied and walked out slowly.
The Empress Dowager sat stiffly in her original position, panting heavily.
When Imperial Concubine Yi saw how angry the Empress Dowager was, she pursed her lips and forced a smile: "Aunt, look at how savage she is. Don't take it to heart. In the future, we'll deal with her. Aunt …"
"Scram!" The Empress Dowager grabbed the plate of melon seeds and threw it at Concubine Yun.
Concubine Yun was so scared that she screamed, took two steps back, and fell to the ground. She covered her mouth and began to cry.
Li Helan secretly scolded her for being an idiot. She turned to comfort the Empress Dowager: "Imperial mother, don't be sad and don't be angry. We will have plenty of opportunities in the future. However, today's matter was ruined by Qin Yining. If she didn't suddenly appear and force logic, wouldn't imperial sister-in-law have to kneel and beg you? "
"It was Aijia who underestimated her! In the end, she is a woman who can make Pang Zhixi dizzy. How could she not have some tricks up her sleeve? "
These words pierced Li Helan's heart. When she thought of Pang Xiao, she still felt depressed.
"Isn't she just lucky? She was born with a foxy face!"
"That's enough. When it comes to luck, you are luckier than anyone else. You even transformed from a village girl to a princess. I don't see you capturing your husband's heart!
"You have to listen to Aijia's advice. That child Ji Lan is a bit wooden and cold. However, if a man doesn't have a bit of personality, how can he be called a man? Although he doesn't say it, he is loyal and devoted. This time, he beat the Tatan into submission. Isn't it Ji Lan's contribution?
"Your imperial brother chose such a son-in-law for you. Do you feel wronged? You should put away your feelings as soon as possible and get along well with him. Look at why the Qin Clan is so powerful? They can give birth to twins, but you don't lay eggs. Not only don't you lay eggs for the Ji Clan, you even raise … "
Looking at the sobbing Concubine Yun, the Empress Dowager didn't directly mention the matter of raising a gigolo. It could be considered as giving Li Helan some face. She only fiercely glared at her.
"Alright, you two are useless things. Get out of Aijia's sight! Neither of you are useful at the crucial moment. What use do Aijia have for you? "
Li Helan pursed her lips. "It's as if anyone wants to come. You say I'm useless. Didn't you also lose to them?"
Without waiting for the Empress Dowager to angrily rebuke her, Li Helan hastily stood up and strode away. Only the Empress Dowager was left to vent her anger on Concubine Yun, who still didn't dare to leave.
At this time, the Empress was walking side by side with Qin Yining on the way back to Kunning Palace.
The Empress seemed to have fought a war. Her entire body was weak and she relied on Sun momo to support her.
"Thank you for just now. If it wasn't for you, today I'm afraid … "
