"Xiao Jiu, what about your matter? Let's put it aside for now and talk about it later. Now let's continue to deal with Xiao Yun's matter, okay?" Shen Cha waved his hand and smiled at Xia Jiu, " Don't worry, let's talk about it one by one. We have plenty of time. Today we will tell you everything we know about the Empress Dowager. After all, we have never seen her. We can only piece together an image through everyone's descriptions. ,OK?"
"Okay, let's talk about Xiaoyun first." Xia Jiu responded and blinked, "But where did we talk about it before?"
"Speaking of the time when Xiaoyun was unconscious, the late emperor was notified. How did the late emperor handle it?" Shen Cha thought for a while, "After all, we have caught someone right. Not to mention that everyone gets the stolen goods, right? What if? If we don't handle this matter well, it won't be easy to give an explanation to the empress and the Xia family, right?"
"My father said that the palace staff around the Queen Mother were misbehaving, harboring evil intentions, and wanted to do evil things to the little prince. It had nothing to do with the Queen Mother."
"Have you finally come to such a conclusion?" Xue Ruitian looked at Xia Jiu in disbelief, "Xiaoyun fainted in front of her, how can it be said that it has nothing to do with her? What did the late emperor want to do?"
"What else can you do? After this incident, who doesn't know what the Empress Dowager is?" Xia Jiu rolled his eyes as he said, "There is no way, I haven't got any evidence to prove that she did it, and the people around her Those people also said that it was their own idea and had nothing to do with the Queen Mother. Although everyone knew clearly that this was the work of the Queen Mother, they had no way to really deal with her. Therefore, they could only take action against the people around her. There is no other way.”
"So?" Xue Ruitian raised an eyebrow, "What did the late emperor do?"
"Due to the misbehavior of the palace attendants around the Empress Dowager, the young prince was seriously injured. All the palace attendants were sent to the inner prison for trial, including the Empress Dowager's personal maids and chamberlains, but the Empress Dowager The Queen Mother cannot be left without someone to serve her, and a new batch of palace servants who have just entered the palace have been trained and assigned to the Queen Mother."
"Completely changed all her people, and then put on her own eyeliner?" Seeing Xia Jiu nodding, Shen Cha thought for a while, "The people placed next to the Empress Dowager actually have some background, right?"
"The Xue family, the Shen family, Concubine Hu's family and Concubine Xianmeng's family have all arranged people. These palace people are actually the soldiers of each family, who have been trained since childhood. In fact, these soldiers were signaled by the father. Originally, He wanted to form a shadow-like organization to protect his father and be loyal only to his father. As a result, Xiaoyun's incident happened, and his father felt that it would be too dangerous if the Empress Dowager did not control it again, so, Ask each family to send in one person to keep an eye on the Empress Dowager nearby."
"These..." Song Qiyun shook his head gently, "I don't even know."
"I've hidden it from you, how can I let you know?" Xia Jiu chuckled, "You have already suffered, how can I make you more troubled? Although I saw what happened with my own eyes, I didn't think about it at the time She said there was something really wrong with the Queen Mother, but later my uncle told me what was going on here, and I understood. My uncle's main intention was to keep me away from her and to be vigilant."
"But each family only sent one person, and they couldn't keep an eye on them at all. The Empress Dowager has been playing with people's hearts all her life. Isn't it easy to avoid the spy's surveillance? She only needs to trick others to do it, and she can choose herself. That's enough." Shen Cha snorted coldly, "The fact that she was able to survive the large-scale operation to annihilate the Qinglian Sect without being implicated at all shows that she has the ability to keep herself alone, and she was Those people who were bewitched were willing to sacrifice everything for her, even to die for her."
"Sister, you are so right, so..." Xia Jiu smiled faintly, "Didn't bad luck happen to me? She was fine for more than half a year, and then she did her old tricks again."
"Why are you repeating the same trick?" Shen Cha frowned slightly and exchanged glances with Xue Ruitian and Shen Haolin, "Don't she have eyeliners from various companies around her? Or, the eyeliners have all been moved to unimportant places. ?”
"Hey!" Xia Jiu snapped his fingers, "Either I say that my sister is wise and wise, that's what it is. In the past half a year, the informants sent in by various families have been punished to very unimportant positions under various excuses. You can't get close at all, and the surveillance is useless." He rolled his eyes, "Father and the others should understand this situation, but there is nothing they can do about it. If the Empress Dowager is forced to use these people, why not tell her what's going on? Is there something fishy? So, it can only be like this. The consequence of the compromise was that I went into the palace to say goodbye to my mother and concubine before leaving Beijing, and stopped by her palace to say hello. I almost got caught. If I hadn’t reacted quickly. , you can’t come to the border with the new recruits the next day.”
"What did she do?"
"The Bewitcher and several young maids who had just entered the palace secretly followed me to a secluded place and surrounded me, trying to create the illusion that I was teasing them." Xia Jiu rolled his eyes, " They even prepared some incense, and one of them sprinkled it towards me, but she didn't consider the direction of the wind and choked herself. After I discovered their intention, I jumped into the room when her incense was spread towards me. I sat on the roof and watched them running away in all directions. Seeing their appearance, I couldn't help but sigh, this old lady is really doing something evil. These children are not big, even though they are sent to They come to the palace as palace servants, but they are also children of good families. When they are old enough to leave the palace, they can find a good marriage or be able to stand alone. But with this stain, I am afraid that I will have to spend this life in prison. pass."
"This is a sin!" Song Qiyun snorted, "What happened next?"
"Before they finished making trouble, I went to see my father and explained the reason. Coincidentally, I got a little bit of the fragrant powder on my body, and I happened to catch up with the old doctor from the Taiyuan Hospital who checked my father's pulse and confirmed it. It’s just Mi Xiang. My father asked me to leave the palace by myself so as not to miss my departure the next day, and said that I would leave the rest of the matter to him."
"How was that handled?"
"I don't know." Xia Jiu shook his head gently, "When we return from the border again, it will be the time for the emperor's father to pass away and the emperor's brother to ascend the throne. At that time..." He thought for a moment, "Well, that The old lady is no longer alive. However, I went to visit the inner prison and found out that the palace residents who were originally implicated and bewitched by the Empress Dowager have been released. As for where they will go No one knows what you do or what kind of life you live.”
