Daughter Reborn as the Head of the Family

Chapter 237 Betrayal between the two

Author: Yu Shao

"The Zhao family did something inappropriate and almost harmed you." A look of embarrassment flashed across the queen's face.

Song Jinyue had some vague speculations in her heart.

"Aunt, do you want to pardon the Zhao family for the sake of the emperor?"

The queen sighed, took her niece's hand, patted it gently, "I feel wronged for you."

The queen was not willing to let the Zhao family off easily on this matter.

But for some reason, Mr. Zhao, who was imprisoned in the Dali Temple prison, still had a chance to come out.

The emperor's intention was to use a play between the ladies in the boudoir as an excuse to expose the matter, and then ask the queen to come forward to appease Song Jinyue, and then the palace would reward her with something.

Later, Zhao Zhu came to apologize.

This matter is over.

Song Jinyue was naturally a little surprised by this result, but from her aunt's expression just now, she guessed that it was because of this.

Now that there is no evidence against the Zhao family for secretly colluding with the enemy, it is naturally impossible to bring down the Zhao family, but she is extremely curious as to why Mr. Zhao is excusing herself.

"Auntie, do you know what Mr. Zhao said to the emperor that made the emperor let this matter go easily?"

The queen shook her head and sighed several times, "My aunt doesn't know about these things."

Song Jinyue pursed her lips, thinking that the key to this matter seemed to be unknown to her aunt.

She couldn't help but ask about the Queen Mother, "Aunt, is the Queen Mother really seriously ill?"

The Queen frowned and raised her forehead slightly, "It's a long story."

After saying this, the queen stood up and took her niece to the inner hall to talk.

After the two of them sat on the phoenix couch together, the queen talked about the cause and effect with her niece.

"Ever since Your Majesty learned that the Queen Mother secretly poisoned the Prince, you have often hinted that the Queen Mother admits her mistake.

Why……

Who knew the Queen Mother...

She actually wanted to poison the prince again! Fortunately, I have already changed all the servants serving in the East Palace. The Queen Mother had no chance to poison her, so she went to find the prince to talk. Fortunately, the palace was there that day."

When mentioning what happened that day, the queen still felt a little scared.

If His Majesty hadn't asked her to discuss the matter with the Queen Mother that day, how could she have saved the Prince?

The emperor did not want the royal scandal to be known to the whole court, and he did not want the queen mother to continue to live her old life in the palace.

Therefore, he deliberately wanted the Queen Mother to go to the Yunqingshan Royal Villa outside the city to spend her old age.

The Queen Mother naturally refused to leave the palace and go to the Royal Courtyard.

It happened that the prince came, and the palace lady came forward with tea. The queen mother handed the tea cup to the prince.

She didn't know why, but she suddenly felt uneasy.

Then he got up and wanted to ask the prince how he was doing today.

Unexpectedly, her foot slipped, and the prince dropped the tea cup in his hand to the ground as he reached out to help her.

The tea fell on the blanket embroidered with peonies, and bursts of black smoke immediately appeared.

The queen was suddenly shocked and couldn't help but be secretly afraid.

When the emperor learned about this, he came to the Queen Mother's palace. After that, all the palace attendants who served in the Queen Mother's palace were sent out of the palace, leaving only one nun who was at the Queen Mother's side all year round.

After this incident, the emperor absolutely could not allow the queen mother to live in the palace.

In fact, in the final analysis, the Queen Mother is just the emperor's adoptive mother.

When the late emperor was still a prince, he made a marriage contract with the only daughter of Xian Lin's family, but later the Lin family was unjustly imprisoned. In order to save his beloved fiancée, the late emperor knelt at the palace gate for three days.

This was how the blood of the only daughter of Lin Shilang's family was preserved.

It's just that she can no longer marry the late emperor as a concubine.

Later, the late Emperor and Concubine Lin gave birth to His Majesty. Concubine Lin suffered from poor health due to being depressed all day long. His Majesty was only three months old when Concubine Lin passed away.

Later, the late emperor had no choice but to marry the princess of the Prince Anyuan Palace of the opposite sex, who is now the Queen Mother.

The late Emperor and the Queen Mother were polite and distant from each other. Ever since the Queen Mother married the First Queen and personally raised His Majesty under her knees, the First Emperor often went to the Queen Mother's palace to rest.

However, they had no children. After the late emperor ascended the throne, he made his Majesty the crown prince.

Because Concubine Lin died early, His Majesty only treated the Queen Mother as his biological mother.

Although the relationship between mother and child is not comparable to that of ordinary people, there is still some family affection.

Since His Majesty ascended the throne, the Queen Mother has lived in seclusion and has not engaged in any affairs in the palace.

Who would have thought that now that he was out and about, he would poison the prince.

Listening to her aunt talking about the Queen Mother poisoning the Prince's cousin again, Song Jinyue was also worried.

Although the Queen Mother did not like any of the princes or princesses in the palace, she did not have much enmity with that one. In the past few days, the Queen Mother had become closer to Concubine Ye.

Is it possible that the Queen Mother wants to support the sixth prince born by Concubine Ye?

"Aunt, then..."

There has never been a shortage of private matters in the palace.

The Empress Dowager's illness probably has a profound origin.

Although the queen did not say it explicitly, she nodded, acquiescing to her niece's unspoken suspicion.

It seemed that the Queen Mother had completely consumed all the Emperor's share of her.

"Aunt, I learned from Aunt Muyun that Mrs. Shen is now in Taifu Lin's house."

The queen was stunned for a moment, came to her senses, held her niece's hand tightly, and asked again: "Yue'er, what did you just say?"

"Auntie, Mrs. Shen is in Taifu Lin's house."

Song Jinyue said to her aunt again with great certainty.

The queen quietly let go of her niece's hand, her body trembling slightly.

How could Mrs. Shen go to Taifu Lin's residence?

This Taifu Lin is the prince's mentor. In the eyes of the prince, Taifu Lin is the most valued person besides the emperor and the queen.

Why?

"Aunt, I promised Aunt Muyun that she would like to enter the palace to see the Queen Mother."

"This matter..." The queen was a little embarrassed.

Song Jinyue hurriedly explained: "Aunt, I want to find out what secrets are hidden between Aunt Muyun and the Queen Mother. If I can find out any clues, I think it will be helpful to the prince's cousin."

She looked at her aunt meaningfully.

After all, Shen was hiding in Taifu Lin's house, and the Queen Mother secretly poisoned the prince.

Between the two, the former betrayed the prince, and the latter wanted to kill the prince.

I'm afraid there are some intersections among them.

And she couldn't let Shen fall into the hands of outsiders. After all, Shen's fatal identity might make Long Yan furious, which would in turn affect the entire Duke's palace.

When Song Jinyue returned home, Aunt Muyun learned about her return and hurried over.

My aunt has promised to arrange this matter properly.

Let her wait patiently for the letter.

Aunt Muyun learned the news from Song Jinyue and left Mingzhuxuan with some disappointment.

Song Jinyue didn't wait for her aunt's order, but she did wait for an invitation from Lord Du's mansion.

Mrs. Du said that Du Yiyuan liked her very much and specially invited her to come and sit with her.

He also said that he had prepared some gifts for her.

In the letter, Mrs. Du also said that Mr. Du might be released in a few days, and he might not be able to stay in Beijing to attend her wedding.

Tell her to show her respect.

Song Jinyue put down the invitation in her hand and Du Yiyuan's face flashed before her eyes.

That chubby and cute girl makes people feel extremely cute when they think of her.
