Empress with no Virtue Chapter 34: Catch the adulterer

Complaining is a technical job.

You can't just say what you want to say, but you must fully consider what the other person is sensitive to. For example——

"Your Majesty, I heard that the Queen and Commander Lu were cousins ​​before she left the cabinet?"

In the Cining Palace, Xu Cairen was beating the Queen Mother's back with a beauty fist. The Queen Mother half-closed her eyes in relief. When she heard Xu Cairen's words, she raised her eyelids and glanced at her.

Xu Cairen often went to Cining Palace. Firstly, he could create an image of a filial niece and increase his favor in front of the Queen Mother. Secondly, he could see Ji Wujiu more often. Before she entered the palace, she eagerly wanted to be intimate with him, but she didn't expect that after entering the palace, he would treat her less intimately than before and hardly see her.

Ji Wu Jiu was lowering his head and gently flipping the lid of the tea bowl at hand, and replied casually, "She does have many brothers. But now that she has entered the palace, she is a member of the royal family, so there is no need to talk about them anymore. You have nothing to do, ask what these are doing."

Xu Cairen didn't expect that he would be scolded by him as soon as he said a word, so he lowered his head and said, "I know I was wrong." But he couldn't help but put more force on his hands.

The Queen Mother pulled down her hand, held it in hers and patted it gently, then turned to Ji Wu Jiu and said, "It's said that the bones are connected and the tendons are connected. Although we are members of the heavenly family, we must also be considerate of human kindness. You can break it off if you can," he said, looking at Xu Cairen, "Are you talking about Lu Li? He and the Queen are indeed cousins."

Xu Cairen suddenly nodded, "It seems that the relationship between the Queen and Commander Lu must be very close."

Ji Wu Jiu's face instantly turned ugly. He placed the tea bowl in his hand heavily on the table. The shallow tea water couldn't help shaking and spilled out, onto his hands and the table.

Xu Cairen shook his head. He looked at the Queen Mother in fear.

The Queen Mother is not afraid of Ji Wu Jiu, who knows that she is his biological mother. She patted Xu Cairen's hand comfortingly and said to Ji Wu Jiu, "Why are you so anxious!...Weirong, do you have something to say?"

Xu Cairen was a little hesitant and looked at Ji Wu Jiu cautiously.

"Don't be afraid, just say it's okay, the Aijia will make the decision for you."

Although Ji Wu Jiu remained sullen, he did not say anything to stop him.

Xu Cairen said, "Actually...it's nothing. It's just that I was restless the night before, so I thought about going to the Yinghua Hall to worship the Buddha. Unexpectedly, as soon as I entered the courtyard, I heard that there were men and women in the hall. They were chatting and laughing. I was so curious that I stopped and listened for a while. Because I was far away, I couldn’t hear clearly. I could only vaguely make out that the woman seemed to be the Queen, and she called the man ‘cousin’. That’s why I asked you this question today.”

The Queen Mother's expression gradually became serious, "Child, there are some things you should not say nonsense... Are you sure you have seen it with your own eyes?"

Xu Cairen nodded solemnly, "I have indeed seen it with my own eyes. If the Queen Mother does not believe it, I will make an oath." As he said this, he raised his hand to swear.

The Queen Mother hurriedly held her down, "Okay, okay, the Ai family trusts you. But this matter concerns the royal family's face, so you must not make it public." After saying that, she asked Ji Wu Jiu, "Your Majesty, what are you doing? Say?"

Ji Wu Jiu stared at Xu Cairen for a while, his eyes burning brightly. Xu Cairen was on pins and needles at the sight and did not dare to look at him. After hearing the Queen Mother's question, Ji Wu Jiu stood up and replied, "I don't dare to trouble my mother to take action. I will investigate this matter clearly. Mother, please rest first, and the children will leave."

Watching Ji Wu Jiu leave, Xu Cairen once again took up the beauty fist and beat the Queen Mother on the back. The Queen Mother no longer had the calmness on her face. She frowned and scolded Xu Cai, "Why don't you discuss your actions with the Ai family? If I hadn't supported you today, how could you, a little talented person, be here?" Isn’t it true that you are talking about the Queen in front of the Emperor?"

"My nephew knows his mistake! I am just afraid that the Queen Mother will be implicated, so..."

"What's involved? Ai Jia is his mother, what can he do to me!"

"Yes, the emperor is a pure and filial man. He will not be controlled by the queen and deny his mother."

This was said very clearly, and the Queen Mother smiled and nodded. After a while, she said uneasily, "It's just that even though you said these words today, the Ai family looks at it, and the emperor may not believe it."

"Don't worry, the Queen Mother, as long as the emperor sees it with his own eyes, he will believe it even if he doesn't believe it."

***

It turned out that the Queen Mother knew her son quite well, and Ji Wu Jiu did not believe Xu Cairen's words intellectually. The two women who had a grudge against Ye Zhenzhen were singing along, obviously complaining. He is not stupid, on the contrary, he is smarter than normal people.

However, if you don’t believe it intellectually, it doesn’t mean you don’t believe it emotionally. Although he deliberately ignored it and told himself that it was just slander, Xu Cairen's words still entered his mind over and over again.

In the dead of night, in a lonely palace, a man and a woman alone, laughing and chatting... It was as if a master of painting lived in his mind, gradually painting this scene clearly and completely. The picture was vivid and detailed. Not only that, but there is also a voice. The woman in the picture calls "cousin" over and over again, with a sweet and cheerful voice.

Ji Wu Jiu reviewed the memorial for a while, but he didn’t know what he wrote on the memorial. Finally, he threw away the ink pen, and the tip of the pen rolled over the memorial, spreading out a red mark.

"Feng Youde, go to Kunning Palace to find someone. I have something to ask."

Since the last person he placed in Kunning Palace was taken care of by Ye Zhenzhen, he trained a few more, but Ye Zhenzhen was very guarded and these people could not get too close to her.

"Back to your Majesty, the Queen will go out at 2:00 every night these days and will not return until 5:00 at 1:00."

"Do you know where she went?"

"The slave doesn't know."

"Okay, everyone, please step aside."

After shutting out everyone, Ji Wu Jiu sat in front of the case in a daze, contemplating. From the second quarter of Xu to the fifth quarter of Hai, it happened to be the time when he was not in Kunning Palace. He slept in Kunning Palace every night these days. He originally planned to approve the papers in Kunning Palace, but it was troublesome to move the papers back and forth. Secondly, Ye Zhenzhen didn't like it and felt restrained, so he finished it in Yangxin Palace. After the memorial, I arrived at Kunning Palace late at night. At that time, Ye Zhenzhen was already asleep, and her body was very warm. He held her in his arms, and her body quickly warmed up. The two of them slept with their necks crossed, feeling very at ease in their hearts.

He thought their relationship was gradually easing, but he didn't know what Ye Zhenzhen did every night while he was away.

What on earth is she doing? Ji Wu Jiu unconsciously grabbed the pen on the desk and held it firmly. The truth is right in front of him, and he will definitely find it out if he investigates. But he wasn't sure whether to really check it out.

After all... what if that's really the case?

What will he do with her?

As he thought about it, Ji Wu Jiu's eyes became stern, and the strength in his hand gradually increased. With a "pop", the penholder carved with rhinoceros horn was broken into two pieces.

***

At the same time, somewhere in the inner palace, Lu Li looked at an embroidered purse in his hand and asked an unfamiliar **** in front of him, "You mean, the Queen ordered me to come to Yinghua Palace at 5:00 tonight When we meet, do we have something important to discuss?"

The **** replied, "That's right."

Lu Li hid the purse in his sleeve and said, "Thank you, father-in-law. I will definitely meet the Queen on time."

The **** left relieved. Lu Li took out the purse again and looked at it carefully. It was true that this purse was embroidered by Ye Zhenzhen herself, but he knew Ye Zhenzhen's temperament. She usually threw things around, so it was difficult to say that this thing was not lost by her and then picked up by someone who wanted to use it. Moreover, Ye Zhenzhen is not an impolite person. She would probably not be able to do such a thing when summoning foreign ministers in a quiet place late at night. Even if she really wanted to see him privately, she would definitely do things more carefully. She didn't let a confidant like Wang Youcai Suyue pass the message, but instead sent someone he didn't know, which was very unreasonable.

So, there must be something fishy in this.

But since this matter involves Zhen Zhen, he has to go anyway. If someone really wants to make a fuss about the relationship between men and women to frame Zhen Zhen, then it is best to avoid future troubles as soon as possible.

***

After dinner, Ye Zhenzhen ate for a while, then took a book and went out, leaving only Su Yue with her.

The winter night wind was very cold, and the two of them were wrapped like **** of hair. Su Yue held the lantern with one hand and supported Ye Zhenzhen with the other, softly advising, "Mother, it's cold tonight, why don't you go?"

"No, I have to insist."

Where has Ye Zhenzhen been these days?

Answer: Yinghua Palace.

What to do?

Answer: Practice.

Wang Youcai didn't know where he got her a martial arts secret book called "Yin Yang Jing". The book is quite thick, with yellowed pages and a lot of moth-eaten marks, showing its age; the cover is stained with dark black stains, much like bloodstains, which makes people involuntarily think of all the vendettas it may cause... ...In short, this book exudes the atmosphere of a peerless secret book.

The book said that to practice this skill, you must practice it in a secluded place where no one will disturb you, preferably deep in the mountains and forests, or on cliffs and waterfalls. Ye Zhenzhen cannot go to these places, so she can only stay in the palace. Looking for the most secluded place among them, I found Yinghua Hall.

So these days she comes to Yinghua Hall to practice Kungfu every night. The Yin Yang Sutra talks about internal strength, so she only needs to sit down, meditate and adjust her breath.

The Yinghua Palace is uninhabited at night, with only one **** keeping watch. However, on such a cold day, the **** who kept watch had already gone to sleep somewhere.

Lu Li walked into the courtyard of Yinghua Palace and found that the lights were on inside the palace. Several huge bodhi trees in the courtyard have all fallen leaves. Under the dark night, their branches are twisting and intertwining, like huge dandelions. Through these dandelions, Lu Li saw Su Yue guarding outside the palace gate. She was so cold that she stamped her feet and rubbed her ears with her hands.

He walked up and said, "Miss Suyue."

Su Yue used the light to see clearly who was coming and was very surprised, "Commander Lu? Why are you here?"

"I'm just passing by," Lu Li said, taking out the purse and handing it to her, "Put this away, don't let the Queen lose anything anymore."

Su Yue took it and took a look, and was even more surprised, "This was indeed thrown by Qian'er, how could it be in your hands?"

Lu Li was about to answer when he heard Ye Zhenzhen ask, "Suyue, who is outside?"

Seeing Lu Li shake his head at her, Su Yue replied, "Mother, there is no one there."

"There is no one, so it's the ghost talking?" The voice got closer, and as soon as she finished speaking, the door was opened by her from the inside. When she saw Lu Li, her face immediately beamed with joy, "Cousin, it's you."

"It's me, Zhen Zhen," Lu Li said with a smile, "However, I shouldn't stay here for a long time. You should take care of yourself." As he said that, he suddenly raised his hand and almost touched her head as usual. , but luckily he stopped in time and turned his back.

"Cousin, wait a minute." Seeing that he seemed to be leaving, Ye Zhenzhen said hurriedly. She gave the martial arts secret book to Lu Li, "Please give me the details. How about this Yin Yang Sutra."

Lu Li flipped through a few pages and handed it back to her, "It's just some basic internal skills. It would be good for you to practice some."

"This is a secret book."

"Really, that's probably because my eyesight is stupid and I saw it wrong. Congratulations to my cousin for achieving peerless martial arts."

At this time, another man's voice sounded in the courtyard, "It seems that I came at the wrong time."

Ye Zhenzhen suddenly felt something was wrong. This time, this place, this situation, her and her cousin's identities... were all too easy for people to misunderstand. What's more, Ji Wu Jiu had always suspected that she and Lu Li had an affair.

Ji Wu Jiu walked out from the branches of the Bodhi tree. He didn't know whether he was angry or cold. His face was pale and his temperament was indescribably cold. The candlelight inside and outside the hall was weak, and Ye Zhenzhen couldn't see his expression clearly. She only felt that his eyes were like two sharp swords made of thousand-year-old ice, piercing her straight, which was chilling.

"Your Majesty..." Now the game was getting too serious, and Ye Zhenzhen felt that she needed to explain.

But before he could say anything, suddenly, a lot of lights came in from outside. Two teams of eunuchs rushed in with lanterns to clear the way, and then, the Queen Mother walked in slowly, supporting a palace maid, with her back straight, a straight face, and her eyes full of mockery.

Ye Zhenzhen understood in an instant. This was obviously a trap. The other party came prepared, caught her in love, and vowed to kill her.
