There is Room For the Poor Daughter

Cining Palace.

The empress dowager wore a graceful and luxurious empress dowager dress with delicate makeup on her face, and sat dignifiedly on the main seat in the hall watching the emperor come in.

The emperor stared at the queen mother for a while, and then said, "the queen mother called me over, is there something wrong?"

The empress dowager stared straight at the emperor: "I heard that you pursued the title of Gu, and also named Gu Jian a duke?"

The emperor did not speak, it was a default.

The Empress Dowager smiled: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten, who was the first emperor who poisoned the emperor, and who was the concubine Wan who set fire to death?"

Hearing this, the emperor's face became ugly.

I have been dragging my mother and uncle's name before, because I was worried that the queen mother and the Jiang family would mention these things. Now that the Jiang family has collapsed, the queen mother still wants to use this to threaten him.

The empress dowager ignored the emperor's cold face and continued: "Let go of the Jiang family, expel them from Beijing, or exile, and keep them alive. As long as you agree, the Ai family will keep this secret forever."

The emperor snorted coldly: "Did the queen mother also forget that it was your order?"

The empress dowager did not argue with the emperor: "Ai's family has a few days to live, let go of the Jiang family, and Ai's family will also let you go."

The emperor sneered: "What if I don't agree?"

The queen mother also had a cold face: "Then Ai's family will publicize what happened in the past, poisoning the first emperor, even if you are the emperor, you can't protect Gu Jian. The Ai's family has already sent someone to invite the royal family and the ministers of the court to enter the palace. It shouldn't be long before they arrive."

Hearing this, the emperor looked at Eunuch An with sharp eyes.

Eunuch An's expression changed, and he quickly left the hall.

After a while, Eunuch An returned with a pale face and whispered in the ear of the emperor: "Your Majesty, the little six sons of the Qianqing Palace belong to the Jiang family. He pretended to be your name to invite the clansmen and ministers to enter the palace. Now Everyone has come to the Cining Palace."

After listening to the emperor, he looked at the empress dowager coldly: "the empress dowager is very good, you can install someone in the Qianqing Palace."

The empress dowager did not move like a mountain: "Your Majesty, the Ai family's request is not too much, as long as you let the Jiang family go"

"Let go of the Jiang family and let them continue to harm the world?"

Gu Jian, Xiao Yeyang, and Daohua suddenly walked into the hall.

Seeing Gu Jian, the Empress Dowager finally became restless. She no longer looked dignified before, and her breathing became fast. She said with some difficulty: "You really are not dead." After taking a few breaths, she said ruthlessly, "It's really a scourge that has left a thousand years old. ."

Gu Jian looked at the queen mother coldly: "If you want to talk about scourge, who can catch up with you?" After speaking, he strode towards the queen mother.

The empress dowager was so frightened that her complexion changed greatly, and she clapped her hands to summon the dark guard.

It's a pity that the dark guard has been secretly removed by the emperor for a long time.

The queen mother opened her eyes wide and looked at the emperor: "you"

The emperor looked at the empress dowager expressionlessly: "empress dowager, you underestimate me too much, how could I not guard you?" In today's Cining Palace, except for the two maids who are close to the empress dowager, the rest are all his people .

Looking at Gu Jian who continued to approach, the queen mother was frightened and angry: "What do you want to do?"

Gu Jian: "Don't you want to announce the past? If you are dumb, you should be able to keep it a secret."

The queen mother stood up angrily: "You are presumptuous!"

Just then, there was a commotion outside.

When the queen mother knew that the royal family and ministers were coming, she would shout loudly when she opened her mouth.

Gu Jian saw it, and a pill quickly bounced into the Queen Mother's mouth.

The queen mother was too old, one did not swallow it, and stuck in her throat. After a while, her face turned red and her neck became thicker.

Gu Jian was stunned, and the emperor was also stunned.

Daohua and Xiao Yeyang looked at each other in dismay.

Thinking of the clansmen and ministers outside, the emperor still let Eunuch An give the queen mother a good deal.

Just after such a toss, the Queen Mother could only breathe heavily, and could no longer speak.

The emperor glanced at Daohua and said, "Take your uncle away." You can't let your clan and ministers see your uncle here. Even if he didn't mention what happened in the past, everyone can still guess that the uncle and the Jiang family have hatred.

Daohua nodded and hurriedly took her master away from the back door.

At this time, the emperor looked at Xiao Yeyang again.

Xiao Yeyang nodded, walked out of the hall, and welcomed the royal family and ministers in.

When the clan and the minister entered the hall, they saw the two palace maids were giving the queen mother a blessing, and the emperor was standing beside him with a worried face.

Seeing this, the expressions of the royal clansmen and ministers changed, and they stepped forward to salute, and no one dared to rashly ask what happened.

The emperor sighed: "The queen mother called me over today and said that I would let me let go of the Jiang family, but I did not agree." After speaking, he sighed again.

"Forget it, help the queen mother into the bedroom first, and ask the imperial doctor to come and take a look."

As soon as the voice fell, An Gonggong and a few palace maids stepped forward to help the Queen Mother.

After the queen mother was helped away, the emperor sat down and looked at the clan and ministers present, and asked in surprise, "Why are you entering the palace at this time?"

When Prince Yong heard this, he understood that the emperor had not summoned them, so he knelt down and said, "A father-in-law came to the door and said that the emperor summoned the ministers, so the ministers entered the palace."

The emperor's face was full of surprise: "I didn't send anyone to call you."

As soon as these words were said, the clan and ministers present looked at each other in dismay.

At this moment, Wei Qi pressed Xiao Liuzi, who was going to invite the royal clan.

After an interrogation, all the clansmen and ministers knew that the empress dowager had summoned them to the palace under the guise of the emperor.

Prince Yong knelt down and pleaded guilty: "Your Majesty atonement, the ministers really don't know."

The others knelt down immediately.

The emperor showed a helpless look: "The empress dowager wants to save the Jiang family's death penalty, but I do not agree. Maybe she wants to ask you to help talk?"

Hearing this, the clan and ministers bowed their heads and did not dare to make a sound.

At this time, the doctor came.

The emperor looked at the imperial doctor: "Go and take the pulse of the empress dowager."

The imperial doctor entered the bedroom, and soon came out with a pale face: "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager is very old, and recently," said, knelt down and pleaded guilty, "Your Majesty's forgiveness, the Empress Dowager's pulse is very weak, I'm afraid it is."

The emperor stood up with a jerk: "Why is this? I ordered you to do everything in your power to heal the queen mother." After speaking, he asked Eunuch An to see all the imperial physicians in the imperial hospital and called over.

The emperor hurriedly walked around the hall, and then looked at the clan and ministers: "Since you have all entered the palace, then wait here."

The clan and ministers heard that the queen mother might be in bad shape, and their hearts were stunned. Obviously, they were used by the queen mother and wanted to use them to put pressure on the emperor.

After all, in Daxia, filial piety is greater than heaven.

After thinking about this, the clan and ministers dared not speak.

The emperor let the maid serve tea, and waited in the hall with the clan and ministers.

On the other side, Daohua sent Gu Jian to the Qianqing Palace to rest: "Master, don't worry, the queen mother can't speak now, and she won't talk about what happened back then."

Gu Jian frowned. He always felt that the Queen Mother might have something behind him, so he hurriedly urged Daohua to go to the Cining Palace: "Go and watch, and send someone over to tell me if there is anything."

He can't show up now, otherwise, instead of helping the emperor, he will drag the emperor.

Daohua nodded and took Meilan Meiju out of the Qianqing Palace.

On the way, I met the queen and concubines who hurried to the Cining Palace.

Daohua didn't care much when she saw it, but when she was about to walk to the entrance of Cining Palace, she suddenly noticed a palace concubine with an extremely pale face.

After hesitating for a while, Daohua glanced at Meilan and asked her to stop the palace concubine.
