Eunuch Wei first nodded, then shook his head and gasped, "Yes...and no..."
"Eunuch Wei, please explain clearly? What's going on? What does it mean to be yes or no..." Concubine Hua asked anxiously.
Before Mr. Wei could speak openly.
There was a sound at the door.
"Jiuyuan, the Ai family has brought you all these old guys without eyes, and I will apologize to you!"
After hearing this voice, the faces of everyone in the hall instantly turned ugly.
Watching Lingwei helping Queen Mother Dou walk in.
When Xia Jiuyuan saw Queen Mother Dou, he had sobered up a little and stepped forward and said:
"Mother, you...why are you here?"
Concubine Hua and the Huo family stood up and knelt on the ground, "Greetings to the Queen Mother, long blessings to the Queen Mother!"
Queen Mother Dou ignored them and replied to Xia Jiuyuan
Do you think I can never come back? If the Ai family doesn't come back...this group of people with stupid brains are being taken advantage of! It's going to cause a big disaster! "
Xia Jiuyuan naturally pretended not to know. He looked at the prince who was kneeling on the ground behind him and asked, "Mother, what's going on?"
Empress Dowager Dou snorted coldly and glanced at Xia Wenzhi and said, "Your good son! He actually encouraged these old guys to rebel! After the Ai family found out, they returned to Kyoto without resting all the way! In order to stop these old guys. , don’t cause the tragedy of bloodshed!”
Xia Wenzhi listened to Queen Mother Dou's words and what she meant was that he wanted to put all the blame on himself.
Her face turned pale with fright, and she knelt on the ground with a thud and said, "The Queen Mother, the emperor's grandson...the emperor's grandson was wronged...no..."
"There are really no rules! Did the Ai family let you speak?" Queen Mother Dou interrupted Xia Wenzhi in a cold voice.
Xia Wenzhi's face suddenly felt more bitter than eating bitter melon.
"Jiuyuan, these brainless old guys! Although they didn't cause a big disaster, they actually wanted to rebel because they heard some villains in the court instigating that they wanted to kill the prince! Just because of this trivial matter, they were taken advantage of. ! Jiuyuan, we must punish them severely! Let them remember it for a long time!"
Then he cursed at the group of princes beside him, "Everyone has a stupid brain. We are our own people with blood! Clan members! You are dedicated to Daxia and loyal to His Majesty! Why did Your Majesty want to kill the prince?" ? His Majesty has been telling the Aijia that if it weren’t for your generous help, His Majesty wouldn’t be where he is today! If the Aijia hadn’t caught up, you would have really fallen into the trap of those sycophants. What will happen then? Go and meet your ancestors under the earth!"
Xia Jiuyuan's face turned ugly when he heard this.
Obviously, the trap they set for these old princes was discovered by Queen Mother Dou.
Moreover, Empress Dowager Dou seemed to be reprimanding her, but in fact she was giving Xia Jiuyuan some advice for them.
Xia Jiuyuan had no choice but to follow Empress Dowager Dou's words, pretending to be surprised and said:
"This is actually happening! Dear uncles and uncles, you are really confused! What the Queen Mother said is right, we are all one family, blood relatives! How could I kill the Prince? Fortunately, the Queen Mother was in time. Stop it, otherwise it will really hurt your loved ones and make your enemies happy!"
"Your Majesty is right... We were blinded for a moment and were deceived by His Highness! Please forgive us!" Queen Mother Dou's words just now made Prince Ying understand and directly put the blame on Xia Wenzhi.
"Wenzhi? What's going on?" Xia Jiuyuan said sharply.
"Father...I am wronged...it is...the Prince of England and the others wanted to rebel. They wanted to rebel in a legitimate way, so they pulled the child..."
"Did you agree? Do you still want to quibble now?" Empress Dowager Dou quietly interrupted from the side.
"The Queen Mother...is not...I am being..."
Xia Jiuyuan didn't wait for Xia Wenzhi to finish speaking. He raised his leg with a gloomy face and kicked Xia Wenzhi down and cursed angrily.
"No matter what the reason is! It's not the reason for you to kill your king and your father!"
"Come here! Send this traitor to the prison!"
Xia Jiuyuan said this to Xia Wenzhi
, again following what the old princes said.
Of course he understands.
Queen Mother Dou must have known that this was a trap set by him.
Otherwise, he knows better.
If these old princes are confident enough to rebel of their own.
I'm afraid Queen Mother Dou will not come forward to mediate if she finds out.
"Father...my son has been wronged...my son..." Xia Jiuyuan was dragged away without giving Xia Wenzhi a chance to explain.
"Jiuyuan, what are you going to do with these old guys? The Ai family's birthday is coming soon, and we don't want to start a big fight..." Empress Dowager Dou asked Xia Jiuyuan calmly.
"That's what the Queen Mother said! Everything is subject to the Queen Mother's arrangements." Xia Jiuyuan bowed and said to Queen Mother Dou.
Empress Dowager Dou thought for a moment and said, "Let's do this. We will fine them a year of fiefdom and pay taxes to the state treasury! Let's serve as a warning to others."
"Everything will be done according to the mother's wishes!" Xia Jiuyuan bowed without expressing any objection.
"Thank you, Queen Mother!" After hearing this punishment, the princes said to Queen Mother Dou.
"Thank you for your mercy, Your Majesty!" Queen Mother Dou said.
The princes said to Xia Jiuyuan again, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."
"Mother, you must be exhausted from traveling all the way. Go back to the palace and rest quickly." Xia Jiuyuan said to Queen Mother Dou with a bad expression.
"Your Majesty, your Imperial Guards also need to be reorganized! We came all the way just now, and we didn't see a single Imperial Guard! If the Ai family hadn't come over, this matter would have become a big deal. Can you really put an end to it?" Empress Dowager Dou said angrily. Xia Jiuyuan said.
Xia Jiuyuan also heard Empress Dowager Dou reminding herself that she knew this was a trap set by herself.
"My mother taught me a lesson!" Xia Jiuyuan bowed and said with a grim look and his head lowered.
"This matter must be more than just Xia Wenzhi's idea. Behind him is Jingren Palace! And Li Xiaozheng are going to check it out. Without their support! How dare Xia Wenzhi do it? How long has the Ai family been away? What a harem! , it turned into a pot of porridge! The Ai family has told you a long time ago that if you don't establish a prince, the harem will be unstable!" Empress Dowager Dou said lightly.
Xia Jiuyuan nodded and bowed and said, "What the Queen Mother said is..."
Empress Dowager Dou said nothing more, "The Ai family is also a little tired. Let's go back to the palace first!"
After saying that, Lingwei helped Queen Dou to leave, and a group of old princes followed Queen Dou and left.
After seeing that the person had indeed left, Xia Jiuyuan lifted the dining table next to him and said angrily to Gao Weixin, "It's such a big deal that the Queen Mother is back! Didn't you receive any news?"
Gao Weixin lay on the ground and said, "Old slave deserves to die! Old slave deserves to die!"
Seeing his appearance, Xia Jiuyuan said with an ugly expression, "Go and call Dian Guangming over here! Go and find out! Who leaked the news and brought the Queen Mother in! You ruined such a big thing for me!"
