"You understand? Understand what?"

Jin Miaomiao helped Hongye pack up the food boxes, and the two of them carried them to the corridor outside the warming room, and their own shadows would come and take them away without their ordering.

The two returned to the warming room and sat next to Yan Bo again. Hongye poked Xue Ruitian beside him, raised an eyebrow at him, and showed a smirk.

"Tell me, what do you understand?"

"Isn't this obvious? The Empress Dowager first targeted Yan Bo and his group of humerus ministers who had been studying with the East Palace. From the very beginning of wooing and seducing to the assassination after repeated rejections, she never succeeded. With the birth, growth, and enthronement of the first emperor, a new batch of young people entered the court, and the target of her choice changed from Yan Bo's generation to the new generation."

"You mean, she can't win over Yan Bo and the others, so she can only wait slowly for the generation of the late emperor, the Xue family, and the Shen family to grow up?" Seeing Xue Ruitian nodding, Jin Miaomiao shook his head, "How can she be sure that she can live longer than the late emperor..." She suddenly stopped talking, looked at the people present in shock, and stammered, "No... no way? She..."

"You say that..." Yan Bo and Qin Zheng were a little surprised in their hearts, they looked at each other, "It's not impossible, your grandfather's body is not very healthy, but serious illnesses can kill people There are no problems with him, they are all small and inconspicuous problems. At the beginning, it was said that he died of a lingering illness. We were stationed outside and had no way to go back to the funeral, so we had no way to peep into the truth. If it is true..." They looked Looking at Jin Miaomiao, "As Miaomiao guessed, the old witch's crimes are really serious."

"But why aren't master and uncle surprised?"

"Why are you surprised?" Yan Bo snorted coldly, "That old hag can do anything, she doesn't find it surprising at all."

"If it's like what Miao Miao said, the Empress Dowager intends to eradicate all those who understand her, and wait for newcomers and new targets to grow up slowly. Moreover, she can draw a clear line from the old people before. After all, Uncle Yan and his generation People who know that she has evil intentions will order the children in the family to stay away from her and the people around her. But the first emperor and the people around the first emperor are different. Although the first emperor and the eldest princess were not born by the empress dowager, they grew up Afterwards, only the Empress Dowager remained among the elders in the palace. Besides, the Empress Dowager looked very charitable on weekdays and did not act too excessively, so she was not particularly guarded against her. It is more convenient for her to do something to the late emperor and the people around the late emperor."

"Brother is right." Song Qiyun stretched his waist and patted Xia Jiu's shoulder, "Now it's our brother's turn to explain. First of all, it is about the mother of the Xue family who died young." He glanced at Xue Ruitian, "Don't look at me, I have never seen that lady before."

"I haven't seen it before, where are you going to meet?" Xue Ruitian rolled his eyes, "What did my aunt tell you? Why didn't you mention it?" He looked at Song Qiyun, then at Xia Jiu, " You too, and you didn't say anything."

"Don't look at me, I don't care about my affairs, I don't know." Xia Jiu waved his hand, "I only lived in the palace for three or two years. The palace can't stay too long to greet the concubine mother."

"That's right." Xue Ruitian nodded, and raised his chin towards Song Qiyun, "What did Auntie say? About Auntie?"

"Let's say that she grew up with the eldest princess when she was very young, and then suddenly lost contact with the eldest princess one day. Later, news spread that she was seriously ill, and even rumors that she was dying soon appeared."

"I know this, Xiaocha said it."

"What my sister didn't say is that the Xue family seemed to know what was going on from the very beginning. On the surface, they were busy hiring famous doctors for Aunt Xue's family, and the old imperial doctors from the imperial hospital were also resident in the Xue family, but in fact, the Xue family had always been there. They have contacts with the Buddhist and Taoist families, even those from the southwest, and they have not let them go. The reason why they haven't spread the word is because they are all done in secret." Song Qiyun looked at Shen Haolin and Shen Cha, "This is the Shen family who is a family friend. It’s all hidden, and almost no one knows about it.”

"Then why does my aunt know?"

"They begged in the palace, and begged on the head of the Empress Dowager."

"But..." Xue Ruitian frowned slightly, "In the end, my aunt recovered from her illness, she is that kind of real person."

"Yes." Song Qiyun nodded, "But the concubine mother said that after Aunt Xue recovered from her serious illness, she seemed to be a different person. The girl who was particularly sunny, lively, and a bit heroic before became unwell after recovering from her illness." She is too talkative and likes to be alone. She is cold and indifferent. She is completely opposite to the girl before. Later, the aunt of the Xue family entered the palace and became the imperial concubine of the father. The emperor still likes it very much. This aunt, from time to time, would also go to stay with this aunt of the Xue family for a while. Later, I don’t know why, this aunt of the Xue family treated my father..." He looked at Xue Ruitian, "did something not very good , Fortunately, the father did not pursue responsibility, but just let her think about her mistakes behind closed doors."

Xue Ruitian opened his mouth and didn't say anything for a long time. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say. After thinking about it, it was actually inappropriate to say anything.

"Unexpected, right?" Song Qiyun smiled at him, "I heard that he did a shocking thing afterwards."

"The imperial study was set on fire." Shen Cha sighed softly, "Fortunately, people are fine, and the imperial study is fine, but there are less miscellaneous rooms next to it. At the same time, there are still a few places where water flows in the inner palace. The handwriting of the Xue family's mother. When all the turmoil subsides and the source is found, it will be the Xue family's mother. As a result..."

"Everyone, go to your mother's palace, the person has already passed away." Song Qiyun stretched out his hand to pat Xue Ruitian, "The reason why the Xue family was not implicated is because the Xue family's aunt..." He sighed deeply, "It was an abnormal death. "

"This means..." Xue Ruitian looked at Shen Cha and then at Song Qiyun, "Murder?"

"Yes." Shen Cha nodded, "but it can't be announced to the outside world. It can only be said that she died of a sudden and serious illness. However, everyone close to her knows it. But since then, the Xue family's empress has become a taboo. Can you not mention it?" I won’t let it be mentioned.”

"This is understandable." Xue Ruitian thought for a while, "But her abnormality and death are all related to the Empress Dowager?"

"Tianning Temple was enshrined by the Empress Dowager before." Song Qiyun snorted coldly, "My concubine told me quietly that the real person who treated Aunt Xue's doctor and disappeared strangely was someone close to the Empress Dowager. .”
