Seven days after Yao Xianqing and Yao Xianzhong's glorious funeral, the queen summoned Yao Tai's family into the palace.
Princess Maoling was so sick that she couldn't get out of bed because of the pain of losing her son, so she couldn't enter the palace. Only Yao Wanyi came with her father.
When the two parties met, they just cried bitterly, and the people waiting below also cried with them.
Naturally, the Concubine Xian and the Sixth Prince were also present, and they had to give some advice.
Concubine Xian first explained to Yao Tai and his daughter: "Uncle Guo, Wan Yi, please hold back your tears and express your condolences. Although my grief is greater than this, if it continues like this, it will make the relatives hate and the enemies will soon.
The two marquises (the second son of the Yao family was posthumously named a marquis) have spirits in heaven, and they must not want to do this.
What's more, the Queen has really lost weight these days, which is also caused by grief.
The Yao family is a loyal family and they are loyal to His Majesty and the Queen. They have no regrets despite nine deaths, which is known to the world.
Whenever the king is in charge of his ministers, and the two of them are the Queen's natal family members, it is natural that the Queen should come first in everything.
If I keep crying like this, where will I put my empress?
If he is instigated again by someone with intentions and spreads the word, wouldn't it be an excuse for not understanding the overall situation? "
The words of Concubine Xian are very sensible and reasonable.
After hearing this, Yao Tai and his daughter had no choice but to hold back their tears and in turn advised the queen: "Queen, please take care of yourself and don't be too sad.
The so-called deceased is long gone. If the empress' body is damaged by crying because of this, it would really be our sin. "
The queen is also really sad. Whether it is from blood ties or from her own interests, it is a real pain.
"Your Majesty and I both want to catch Liang Jing as soon as possible so that we can know what the reason is." The queen cleared her throat and said, "Did he fall into a trap? Or was he being instigated by someone else. I still can't think of it. untie."
Yao Tai almost never hated Liang Jing to death. Hearing what the Queen said, he said, "Can't the Queen still see clearly? That Liang Jing is obviously a white-eyed wolf!"
Who is he? How deep the scheming is and how clever the methods are. Others don’t know, haven’t we seen it yet? How could you fall into someone's trap so easily? !
Anyway, no matter who said it, I don’t believe that Liang Jing had his own reasons for being beaten to death. He had already been won over by Concubine Fu and was willing to work for her!
This blessed concubine and the fifth prince are a scourge. If they cannot be uprooted, they will suffer backlash in the future! "
"According to my stupid theory, Liang Jing must have an accomplice. Otherwise, how could he not be found even after searching for him like this? Someone must have hidden her." Concubine Xian also said, " But everything must be based on evidence, and we don’t have any evidence in hand. Not only will no one believe us, but they will think that we are framed.”
When Yao Tai heard this, he started to cry again and begged the queen: "Queen, you must make the decision for us! The death of Xian Zhong and Xian Qing is too tragic."
"Brother, don't worry. You don't need to tell me, I will try my best to avenge my two nephews." The queen didn't know clearly that this matter had already formed a knot in the hearts of her brother and sister-in-law. If it was not solved quickly, It is bound to be centrifugal.
She has already lost Liang Jing's arm. If she loses her family's heart again, it will be even more dangerous.
The Queen has been thinking about this issue repeatedly in her heart these days. If she doesn't blame Liang Jing at this time, she will be the one who suffers.
Therefore, he resorted to wooing methods and said to Yao Tai: "Brother, I never expected that Liang Jing would betray me. It seems that the human heart is really unfathomable.
It's a pity that I didn't listen to your advice, which led to today's catastrophe. "
When Yao Wanyi heard this, she couldn't hold it any longer and said, "Aunt, I heard that Lan Ning is pregnant again. We are crying and holding the funeral, while they are having a baby on the other side. How can we not hate this?!"
"Now the emperor is relying more and more on the fifth prince and the others. He has praised Lan Ning more than once for being sensible and blessed. It seems like he said it casually, but when you think about it carefully, it is really shocking!" Concubine Xian was worried.
"So we must try our best to seize the leverage of Concubine Fu and the others. If they are too cunning, we can't get it at the moment.
I can't let them have an easy time with my hands. " said the queen.
Originally, in the queen's plan, the fifth prince and others were to be eliminated.
The best way to catch them and do harm to others is to let the emperor deal with them legitimately. If not, then they can only resort to underhanded tactics.
But looking at the lack of capable manpower around him, and the fact that he has to tightly win over his mother's family, he has to sell favors to the virtuous concubine.
After all, Concubine Xian is getting closer to the Yao family now. If she is still as hostile to her as before, then the Yao family will also be prejudiced.
"Sister Xian Fei, I listened to Liang Jing's slander before and thought you had ulterior motives." The queen took Concubine Xian's hand and said, "I feel sorry for you to suffer so many grievances."
Concubine Xian knew that the reason why the queen changed her attitude towards her was not because she really felt that she was wrong, but because she was still useful.
So he hurriedly pretended to be frightened and grateful and said: "Queen, please don't say that, it is really embarrassing my concubine. Since you are in a high position, you must be careful.
We, mother and son, have been successful because of you, so what does it mean to suffer some grievances! I have no complaints against you in my heart. If you feel uneasy about this, it is my fault. "
Concubine Xian's mouth can not only confuse right and wrong, but also make her tongue shine like a lotus flower.
However, Yao Ziyun could not completely trust her after all, but due to the situation, he had to give her some benefits: "Now is the time to employ people. And they must be hired by reliable people. Let your two brothers call them back to their posts." !」
"This... Let's talk about this later! There is no need to rush." Concubine Xian did not agree immediately, but played hard to get.
Yao Tai said from the side: "Xianfei, when is it? Don't refuse.
You have long said that we all take orders from the Queen. If you don't let the two brothers come out, don't you want them to be loyal to the Queen? "
"Oh, I can't bear the crime. I just think that my two brothers are mediocre, and I'm afraid that I will miss my mother's business, so I said this." Concubine Xian explained hurriedly.
"Your Majesty is also heartbroken that Xianzhong and Xianqing suffered an accident. Yesterday, he told me that he would give generous gifts to their orphans. It is necessary to trace the real culprit to the end." The queen sighed softly and said, "After all, people cannot be resurrected after death. Just look forward."
At this time, Yao Wanyi said again: "Aunt, are we going to let that vixen named Xue go? It has long been said that she seduced Liang Jing. Why should we let him live happily?!"
