The Prince Regent’s Violent Medical Consort Chapter 338: Hou Ye entered the palace
Chapter Three Hundred and Thirty Eighth Chapter Marquis Enters the Palace
Zi An was summoned to the palace by the Empress Dowager, and she probably knew what was going on.
Murong Jie was also in the mansion. She asked, "If the empress dowager asks, would you like to tell the truth?"
Murong Jie thought for a while, "You make your own decision."
Zi An is also very difficult to make a decision. The Empress Dowager must know about this matter, at least part of it. If she wants to say it, it will also bring her face.
Murong Jie raised his head to look at her and said lightly, "There's nothing to be embarrassed about."
Zi An looked at him with a warm smile, "Okay, I see."
Murong Jie loves Zhuangzhuang in his heart, and he does not influence her decision, because it is not him who is summoned by the empress dowager.
He knew she would say it eventually, and he actually hoped she would say it, because if the Queen Mother knew about this, then she owed Zhuangzhuang an explanation.
Zi An came to Shou'an Palace. The Empress Dowager backed away and stared at her and asked, "The princess asked you for a knife scar and asked to see the emperor. You know what happened, don't you?"
Zi An nodded, "I know."
"What happened? Can I tell Ai Jia?" The Empress Dowager asked with a change of expression.
Zi An raised her head and looked at the empress dowager's slightly nervous look, "Empress dowager, the princess knows what happened back then. She knew that it was the emperor who ordered Xiao Xiao not to marry Zhuang Zhuang. Han Qingqiu just obeyed his orders. Go hook up Xiao Xiao."
The Empress Dowager's face suddenly turned pale. She slowly put down her hands, but firmly grasped the armrest of the chair, and the emotions in her eyes became very complicated.
Zi An looked at her and couldn't really tell what she was thinking.
After a long time, the Empress Dowager sighed softly, "As expected!"
Zi An was startled, she didn't know?
The Empress Dowager stretched out her hand and asked her to sit down, saying: "Aijia actually guessed a few points, but I never dared to ask the emperor."
"The empress dowager never knew?" Zi An asked.
The empress dowager's eyes were gray, "I don't know, it's actually very far-fetched. Lord Hou personally went to the palace to beg the Ai's family to marry Xiao Xiao and Han Qingqiu. The Ai's family reprimanded him and drove him out. , However, the emperor personally came to Aijia and asked Aijia to issue an decree. Aijia was shocked at the time and asked him what he meant. The emperor told Aijia that Xiao Xiao wanted to take advantage of Zhuangzhuang, and the Xiao family had the intention of rebelling. The Aijia decreed, saying that the Hou Ye disliked Han Qingqiu's low background, and the Aijia marriage could raise Han Qingqiu's identity, and the Aijia finally agreed."
"The Empress Dowager believes?" Zi An raised her voice.
The Empress Dowager said: "Aijia believed it at the time, but after this incident, Aijia thought about it,
I don't think it's possible. Aijia, Duke Xiao, knows very well that he is loyal to the court and the royal family. How could he have the intention of rebelling? Later, Xiao Xiao went on an expedition and made several achievements in battle, and he never returned except to return to Beijing to report his work. Aijia knew that he was heartbroken. But what can be done? Aijia can't pursue this matter, the emperor, is it the son of Aijia? "
She raised her head suddenly, "Come on, let the Yasukuni Marquis enter the palace!"
Zi An was startled, "What does the Queen Mother want to do?"
The empress dowager looked sad, "Ai's family wanted to know how the emperor told Xiao's family back then, but Ai's family suddenly remembered something."
"What's the matter?" Zi An asked.
The empress dowager's eyes turned red at that moment, she looked at Zi'an, "Back then, Xiao Xiao went on an expedition and made military exploits. The second time he went on expedition, he left in command. Before going out, he knelt in front of Ai's family. , I begged the family for one thing."
"What are you asking for?" Zi An couldn't help but wonder.
The Empress Dowager was silent for a while before she said softly: "He said, if he died on the battlefield, don't bury his body in the tomb, but bury him in Tangshan!"
"Tangshan? Is that Tangshan outside the capital?"
"Yes, Zhuangzhuang used to like to go to Tangshan to escape the summer. The late emperor gave Zhuangzhuang a manor. It was in Tangshan. When Xiao Xiao set off for the expedition, Zhuangzhuang was also in Tangshan. For what, I gradually forgot about it, and now I suddenly remember, God, these two children..." The Queen Mother's voice was slightly choked up, she really loved Zhuang Zhuang, if it were someone else, it might not be able to make it She was so sad and guilty.
Zi An didn't speak for a long time.
The empress dowager didn't say anything.
The Yasukuni waiter entered the palace, at this time, it was already getting late.
The Empress Dowager looked at the white-haired Marquis Jingguo, "Marquis, how is your health recently?"
"Xie the Empress Dowager's concern, the old minister is still tough!" Jingguo waited like a bell, and indeed, Zi An saw that his face was ruddy that day, and his actions saw the wind, and he knew that his body was really tough.
"That's good, Mr. Hou is in good health, which is my great blessing!"
"The good health of the empress dowager is my great blessing." Hou Ye said.
The Empress Dowager smiled, "Okay, Aijia knows that Marquis is a straightforward person, so he won't beat around the bush. Tell Aijia what happened before Xiao Xiao married Han Qingqiu? The emperor told you Xiaojia. What? Did it threaten you?"
In the end, Lord Hou has experienced strong winds and waves. Hearing the empress dowager's sharp question, he was calm and respectful: "Empress dowager, there is no such thing, it was Xiao Xiao, the disobedient son, who was confused and had a relationship with the princess. The maid secretly complied and hurt the princess, so that the Xiao family had no chance to marry the princess, a virtuous imperial daughter."
The Empress Dowager sighed softly, "The Marquis doesn't need to say anything to save face, Aijia just wants to know the truth."
"This is the truth. The empress dowager doesn't need to go into details. Eleven years have passed, and everything has passed. The emperor is wise. During his reign, he has benefited the people and won the love of the people. He is a rare and ancient and wise ruler." Hou The grandfather said loudly and forcefully.
Zi An knows that Lord Hou can't say anything. He is a man of firm will and a visionary general. He deeply understands that for the sake of the country and the Xiao family, everything should be buried.
The Empress Dowager saw that he insisted on not speaking, so she said: "Forget it, Aijia knows you, if you don't want to say it, I'm afraid there is no way to force you to speak, Aijia just asks you, if Xiao Xiao and the princess are now And love, are you willing to accept the princess' entry?"
Master Hou was silent for a while, and then slowly said: "The grandson of the old minister is incompetent and can't match the princess!"
Zi An's expression darkened. It seemed that the Xiao family was really scared.
The Empress Dowager sighed deeply, "You go!"
Before Hou Ye left, he glanced at Zi'an and said, "Princess, everything is the best arrangement, Princess don't have to worry about it."
These words are obviously telling Zi'an to stop meddling.
Zi An was silent. She knew that a big family in a family had something on her shoulders. It was the life of the entire family, and she could not tolerate his soft heart.
After Hou Ye left the palace, Shen Sheng ordered the people around him, "Go and investigate immediately to see if the princess has entered the palace today!"
"Yes!" The guard led the way.
The Marquis returned to the mansion, and the guards did not take long to return, "Back to the Marquis, the princess did enter the palace today, and she also met the emperor."
Master Hou had a solemn expression, pondered for a long time, then raised his head and said slowly, "Let the eldest lady go to the princess' mansion and have a few words with the princess."
