Chapter 386 The thief shouts to catch the thief
Although the Queen Mother had not heard about what happened in the horse farm before, she was not too surprised when she heard about it now.

After all, being in the royal family, it doesn't seem surprising to do anything in order to fight for the throne.

"I know what you mean. You think these people were originally coming for you, but because of Niu Niu, your son got the blessing, but the disaster fell on the kid from Prince Qi's Mansion." The Queen Mother said in a deep voice.

The Crown Prince's Consort continued, "My Queen Mother, although my boy is young, he is old-fashioned. He follows the words of the saints in everything he says and does. He will never offend anyone carelessly. The calculations of the people behind the scenes are really hateful!"

The Queen Mother waved her hand and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter. The person behind this will not be able to escape."

What the Crown Princess wanted was the Queen Mother's promise. What happened in the palace could only be investigated by the Emperor and the Queen Mother. She was most afraid that the royal family would smooth things over and let things go casually.

She praised Niu Niu several times again, until the empress dowager was so happy that she got up and left.

"Empress Dowager, the Crown Prince's Consort from Prince Jing's Mansion seemed to be a steady person in the past, but I didn't expect that she is also impatient. She came here in a hurry to complain, and actually delayed your meal." Nanny Sun complained on the side.

The Queen Mother shook her head and said, "They are all parents. It is natural for her to be anxious because her child almost had an accident."

"Empress Dowager, who do you think did this?" Nanny Sun asked in a low voice.

The Queen Mother glanced at the old servant and said, "It's just that those few princes' palaces fought each other for a position that was nowhere to be found."

When Nanny Sun heard this, a hint of sneer appeared on her lips: "Let them fight till the sky is dark. Our Majesty has his own children. How can he still look down on these relatives who are separated by who knows how many generations?"

The Queen Mother raised the corner of her mouth. Compared with those who coveted the throne, she was now just waiting for Concubine Luo to give birth. Then everything would become clear.

"We must investigate this matter carefully and not miss any clues." The Queen Mother instructed Li Shunfu who was standing beside her.

Li Shunfu responded respectfully.

Nanny Sun was a little puzzled and asked, "Empress Dowager, why don't you find out the truth? Isn't it better to let them fight each other?"

The Queen Mother shook her head and said, "If Lady Luo is not pregnant, then this matter will just pass without any clear reason. It doesn't matter."

If the Queen Mother did not have her own grandson, she would not care who was the final winner in the battle for the throne. It would just depend on each person's ability.

Now that she has a grandson, even if he hasn't been born yet, this grandson has already been put on the competition list. She also needs to see clearly who is the one with the evil ambitions behind the scenes and who is doing things unscrupulously.

She also had to be on guard, as this man was using despicable means to deal with Luo Meiren's generation.

It was just that not long after the Crown Prince's Consort left Prince Jing's Mansion that Princess Qi came running.

"Empress Dowager, you have to make the decision for my son Shuo! He has always been well-behaved and sensible. If the eunuchs hadn't instigated him, why would he ride someone else's horse? And how could it be such a coincidence that someone else was suddenly injured and unable to take the riding and archery class?" The Princess of Qi was about the same age as the Empress Dowager. She was crying with snot and tears, looking totally undignified.

The Queen Mother felt a little disgusted in her heart, but she still perfunctorily said, "Don't worry, I already know about this matter, and I will definitely not let the person behind this go!"

The Princess of Qi was still not satisfied, and continued to say: "Your Majesty the Queen Mother, the palace road is so wide, it's not easy for two children to bump into each other? And what a coincidence, that the disaster was really avoided by this collision? There are many cases of the thief crying "stop thief" in this world, you must not be deceived by some villains!" When the Queen Mother heard this, her face suddenly darkened.

It would have been fine if Princess Qi hinted that the Prince Jing's Mansion was crying "stop thief", but she had to say it in this way. Wouldn't it mean that even Niuniu would be implicated in the accident? This was definitely not what the Queen Mother wanted to see.

"I will make the final decision on what is right and what is wrong. You may leave first," said the Queen Mother.

After all, these children entered the palace at the request of their parents, in order to seek unlimited power. Unlike those little girls who came to pray for children, the royal family would not attach too much importance to these children of the royal family.

The Princess of Qi didn't understand what she had said wrong and why the Queen Mother suddenly looked so cold. Although she was afraid of making more mistakes if she said too much, she still remembered the instructions given by the Prince of Qi before she entered the palace.

"Empress Dowager, during this attack, I would also like to pay a visit to Empress Li Zhaoyi. The third Miss Li is also the wife-to-be of my second son..." Princess Qi made her request.

The Queen Mother looked at her deeply and said, "I remember this marriage was arranged by the Emperor."

Princess Qi smiled and said, "Miss Li San is lively and intelligent. Your Majesty thinks she is a perfect match for my second son. I think so too."

The implication of Princess Qi's words was that she was willing to accept this marriage because the Emperor thought that Miss Li San was good.

The Queen Mother has always known that people's hearts are fickle, and she did not expect that once Li Zhaoyi fell from power, the Prince of Qi's Mansion, which had flattered Li Zhaoyi in the past, would also begin to turn against her.

The Princess of Qi still felt that she had given a lot of face to the Li family. Although she had placed people in the palace, the things that happened before and after Concubine Li fell from power were kept secret by the Emperor and the Queen Mother, and she could not find out more.

Now she only knew that the men of the Li family were still popular with the emperor, but Li Zhaoyi had committed some mistake that resulted in her being confined to her house and demoted.

The marriage contract with the Li family was arranged by the emperor. Even if the Prince of Qi's Mansion is unwilling now, they cannot show their disapproval too obviously. They hope that they are just pretending at this time, and they also want to go to Guanju Palace to test the true strength of Li Zhaoyi.

"Li Zhaoyi has been punished now, and outsiders are not allowed to visit her." The Queen Mother said casually.

When Princess Qi heard this, her heart sank. The Queen Mother didn't even bother to cover up anything, which showed that Concubine Li must have made a big mistake.

After sending Princess Qi away, Li Shunfu came in to report.

"Empress Dowager, the matter of the horse farm has been investigated." Li Shunfu said.

The queen became interested and said, "You investigated very quickly this time. The results came out in just one day."

Li Shunfu had a strange expression on his face. "Empress Dowager, the horse that the young master of Prince Jing's mansion was supposed to ride had a needle stuck in its neck by the horse slave who was taking care of it. The needle was smeared with a herb that can make horses go crazy."

"After the young master of Prince Qi's palace rode on the horse, he whipped the horse vigorously. The little white horse ran forward violently in pain. The faster it ran, the deeper the needle pierced, and the more obvious the effect of the medicine would be."

Listening to Li Shunfu's explanation, the Queen Mother did not show much surprise on her face, and said: "I seem to have seen this method before. Tell me, who does that horse slave belong to?"

Li Shunfu hesitated for a moment, then said, "To answer the Queen Mother, that slave has no father or mother, only one sister, who is now working in the Prince Qi's mansion."
