Song Jinyue felt as if her whole body was being weighed down by a heavy load, making her unable to move.

She wanted to find Qin Sheng and ask him a question.

But calm down, she told herself that she must never ask about this matter.

She didn't know whether Qin Sheng's life experience was the same as that mentioned in the letter.

She didn't even know who Qin Sheng wanted to take revenge on?
Is it the Son of Heaven?Or Aunt Queen?

After all, the secret letter that exposed the Du Mansion was handed over to the emperor by his aunt.

She couldn't sit still, so she ordered someone to pass a sign to the palace, and mentioned to her aunt that she wanted to take Aunt Mu Yun into the palace to see the Queen Mother. She didn't mention other things in the letter.

The queen received the sign from her niece to enter the palace, thought for a moment, and then went to raise the matter with the emperor.

After all, in the Empress Dowager's palace, no one is allowed to enter without purpose.

This is not something she can settle easily.

When Song Jinyue in the Duke's Mansion received the letter from her aunt, she breathed a sigh of relief.

The emperor allowed her to bring Aunt Mu Yun into the palace.

Song Jinyue then ordered Qiu Yun to deliver a message to Aunt Mu Yun, and to take her into the palace to meet the Queen Mother the next morning.

For this reason, Aunt Mu Yun didn't sleep well all night.

In the early morning of the next day, staring at the thick makeup could hardly hide the haggard look on his face.

Seeing Song Jinyue, Aunt Mu Yun pulled her lips weakly, showing a pale smile, "Second Miss, thank you for today."

Seeing the ceremony, the maid behind hurriedly helped Aunt Mu Yun up.

"My aunt is so haggard, why should I invite a doctor to come and see her?"

Aunt Mu Yun shook her head feebly, and declined Song Jinyue's kindness, "Second Miss, it's all right, let's go to the palace quickly."

Song Jinyue didn't say anything more, and ordered someone to bring some pastries, and then left the Duke's mansion, got into a carriage, and went straight to the palace.

Today there is only one carriage.

Aunt Mu Yun sat near the door with her personal maid.

Song Jinyue sat at the back with Qiu Yun.

After getting into the carriage, Aunt Mu Yun looked at her apologetically, Song Jinyue understood, and ordered: "Auntie, let's rest first."

With the instruction of the second young lady, Aunt Mu Yun rested comfortably against the maidservant.

When we arrived at the gate of the palace, it was an hour and a half later.

Aunt Mu Yun didn't wake up all the way, she only slowly opened her eyes when the carriage stopped.

When they got out of the carriage, they saw that the one who came to greet them was a tight-faced maid from the Zhaohua Palace.

After seeing the ceremony, several people followed the guidance of the maid and went to Zhaohua Hall.

After seeing the queen, the queen ordered Xiangxiu to lead Aunt Mu Yun to the queen mother's bedroom.

Song Jinyue didn't follow, the queen dragged her into the inner hall to talk.

"Don't worry, His Majesty has already arranged everything for today."

Seeing that her nephew looked a little off, the queen couldn't help asking: "Look, auntie, why are you so preoccupied today. But what happened?"

Song Jinyue helped her aunt to sit on the soft couch, and then said: "I guess it's because I didn't sleep well yesterday, but I want to ask my aunt about something when I enter the palace today."

"You said."

"Auntie, Mr. Du, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, do you still have any memories?"

The empress frowned, and her tone was a little hasty, she said: "Why did you bring this up? You don't want to go out and inquire, the emperor is the most taboo for others to bring up this matter."

The Queen unconsciously increased her strength in holding Song Jinyue's hand.

Song Jinyue frowned slightly, her aunt's attitude showed that there might be something wrong with what happened back then.

"Auntie, I know, that's why I came here to ask my aunt about something."

"Yue'er, did you find out anything in secret?" The queen looked solemn, "Promise to Auntie that this matter will never be brought up again, and don't investigate again."

This made Song Jinyue more curious.

She raised her hand to rub her aunt's arm, and coquettishly said to her aunt, "Auntie, I won't say anything, don't worry, I promise you!"

My aunt refused to mention this matter, and Song Jinyue refused to give up.

The two argued several times.

The queen finally couldn't resist the niece's pitiful pleading, so she let go after a long while.

Seeing that her aunt was finally willing to bring up the past, Song Jinyue hurriedly took a soft pillow and put it behind her aunt.

He helped his aunt to lean back again.

And she was squatting beside her aunt, beating her legs lightly for her.

"In fact, these years, the case of the Du family has always been a thorn in His Majesty's heart. After all, His Majesty does not believe that Mr. Du would be greedy for the Mexican army's salary.

But who told the last imperial army to confiscate the million silver in Du's mansion.

His Majesty immediately hated the Du family, and the whole family of Du's family went to prison and then went to Zhu Jiu Clan. It took only ten days. "

When it comes to the past, if it is said that the queen has no self-blame in her heart, that is a lie.

But what happened back then, everything was too coincidental.

In the border war back then, my elder brother was almost buried in Dingzhou, how could she forgive this matter?

Later, the secret letter reporting on the Du family was delivered to her, and she presented it to His Majesty without thinking too much.

When the whole family of Du's family was punished, she secretly searched for the person who delivered the letter, but found that the person had long since disappeared, and there was no trace of clues found in the huge palace.

She sent someone to investigate in Du's house secretly.

This investigation made her find out the clue.

Before his death, Lord Du repeatedly complained, saying that he did not know that there was a secret room in Du's mansion.

The people she sent secretly found out by no means that there was actually a secret door behind the secret room of Du's mansion, and what followed the secret door was a deserted courtyard.

Someone saw it and said that someone had brought several boxes of things into the deserted house.

It's just that I didn't see the box being carried out again later.

Finally, it was confirmed that the silver confiscated by the Du Mansion was carried into the abandoned courtyard.

She knows this matter, and His Majesty knows it too.

But the Du family is dead, if you want to investigate carefully, it will inevitably make His Majesty lose face.

Therefore, the matter of the Du family has become a secret matter that His Majesty does not want to mention.

"Aunt, are the Du family really dead?" Song Jinyue raised her head, looked at her aunt, and asked.

The queen paused slightly, coughed a few times, "Why are you asking about this?"

Seeing her aunt's expression seemed strange, Song Jinyue's heart skipped a beat, she lowered her voice, and asked in a voice that only her aunt and her could hear. "But aunt saved Master Du's child?"

The queen's expression froze, and she hurriedly looked around vigilantly, pulled her niece to sit beside her, and said, "Yue'er, don't talk nonsense!"

Song Jinyue nodded.

The queen sighed a long time, and then continued, "Actually, Lord Du was the benefactor of Imperial Physician Xu, how could he stand idly by when something like that happened to the Du family.

Although Bengong was angry at the Du family at the beginning, but knowing that the Du family was ordered to punish the nine clans, he couldn't bear it.

Therefore, he secretly helped Imperial Doctor Xu to rescue Master Du's sons and daughters.

Seeing that Doctor Xu had sent him out of the capital, I never sent anyone to investigate. "

She understands that if she asks someone to investigate, if the matter is revealed in the future, those lonely and helpless children will really lose their way of life.

Therefore, she felt relieved when she saw that he was sent out of the city. As for where she went and how her life was, she didn't ask any more questions.

"So, Imperial Physician Xu didn't know about the fact that my aunt was secretly helping each other back then?"

The queen nodded.

Song Jinyue felt a little sour for no reason.
