lucky star girl

Chapter 221 Opportunity
Empress Hu sat in her bedroom with a gloomy face. Originally, she was looking at the list of rewards that Madam Hu had sorted out and was going to send to the Xu family during the New Year's Eve banquet in two days. But she didn't expect that Madam Su would bring A message that made her so angry.

Nanny Hu and Nanny Su are Empress Hu's confidantes. Other people in the palace don't know who Empress Hu met when she left the palace on the first day of the lunar new year, but they both know.

Empress Hu even promised to take the two of them with her when she left the palace, and enjoy the happiness with her in the future.

If they feel empty below their knees, they will ask their grandson to help them find two lovely grandchildren to adopt under their knees. If they find it troublesome, then follow her to help her bring up their great-grandchildren.

It is precisely because Empress Hu did not hide the truth from the two of them, and even made a promise to take them out of the palace, so recently, the two of them not only collected news outside the palace more carefully, but also did not relax for a moment in the palace.

They hoped that their master would leave the palace as soon as possible, and that they could also leave the place that had trapped them for decades.

Today it was Madam Su who went to collect news, but not long after she left, she hurriedly brought back bad news to Empress Hu.

After the anger was over, Empress Hu also calmed down and looked at Nanny Hu and Nanny Su and said, "Didn't the palace send two more news out? Why is the news outside the palace that the prince's bloodline still exists is being suppressed?" come out?"

When Hu Momo and Su Momo heard Empress Hu's question, they quickly thought about it in their hearts, and then Hu Momo replied first: "It seems that there is a driving force behind this matter, and that person must have noticed that in the past few days This news was suppressed, so I sent someone to spread the news today."

As soon as Madam Hu finished speaking, Madam Su continued to say: "Mom Hu is right, master, the most important thing now is not the news, but the Holy Majesty in the palace has already heard about it."

After Empress Hu learned about this matter, she made arrangements to prevent this news from entering the palace for the time being.

Empress Hu thought well, as long as the results of the treatment of Ye Jingche came out after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, even if Emperor Ruikang knew about it, she would be able to fool him.

But she didn't expect that in just a few days, this news would be spread again, and now Emperor Ruikang would know about it.

"Investigate! You send people to investigate carefully, who sent this matter into the palace. There are also outside matters. Since this news has been spread again, it is not something we can hide if we want to." Queen Hu has already thought about what she will do next in a short period of time.

She is the mother of the former crown prince. Now that the palace has heard the news, she should know it too.

Thinking of this, Empress Hu looked at Madam Hu and said, "You continue to arrange the rewards for her during the Zhou banquet in a few days and nights, Madam Su, you go to the Holy Majesty and ask, just say that I want to see the Majesty, ask Ask him if he's free."

In this palace, only Empress Hu dared to say such a thing.

She wanted to see Emperor Ruikang, so she sent someone directly to inquire, instead of quietly sending someone to inquire.

Empress Hu wouldn't care about these things. If Emperor Ruikang was not ill before, as long as she had something to ask him, Emperor Ruikang would take the initiative to come to Fengyi Palace to see her.

Nanny Hu and Nanny Su have served Empress Hu for many years, and they don't know their master's temperament. Now they will know what she will do next as soon as they listen to her.

But in just over two quarters of an hour, not only Su Momo who had gone to inquire came back, Emperor Ruikang even sent the most useful servant around to invite Queen Hu.

As for Empress Hu, she started to tidy herself up as soon as she let Madam Su leave.

She didn't want to make herself look good, but to make herself look haggard, so the first time the servant saw Queen Hu, she saw her red eyes that had obviously just cried.

When Empress Hu saw Emperor Ruikang, she didn't cry, after all, she had always had a tough image in front of Emperor Ruikang.

Today's Empress Hu is still tough. After seeing Emperor Ruikang, she didn't salute. She directly waved away the servants who were serving in the bedroom, and then looked directly at Emperor Ruikang and said, "What do you think of the news from the palace?"

Empress Hu asked bluntly, Rao Ruikang Emperor had long been accustomed to Empress Hu's temperament, and was obviously stunned for a moment.

Since what happened on New Year's Eve, Ruikangdi has actually been recuperating for so many days.

Fortunately, the pen was sealed on New Year's Eve, and he didn't use it until the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, when the Chinese New Year was over.

After listening to Queen Hu's words, Emperor Ruikang was stunned for a moment, then looked at her and said, "The queen has heard about it too?"

When Empress Hu heard what Emperor Ruikang said, she sneered and said, "Of course I have heard about it! I am in charge of the palace. If there is any other news, I am afraid that I will punish those who spread rumors."

But this news is related to Queen Hu's only son, so she came to Emperor Ruikang first.

Although Empress Hu didn't say the latter words directly, Emperor Ruikang could understand.

Emperor Ruikang was still leaning on the bed, and seeing that the corners of Empress Hu's eyes were still red, he sighed and said, "I just heard about it today." I feel that where there is no wind, there are no waves, could it be that Xun'er really has blood left in this world?"

"Ye Rui!"

Almost at the moment Ruikangdi's voice fell, Queen Hu called Ruikangdi's name directly, and then held back tears, waiting for Ruikangdi to say: "What do you think? What happened back then, what do you think?" No count? Even if Xun'er really has blood left in this world, then this meeting should be far away from the capital, how could such a thing be planned!"

Yes, the reason why Empress Hu is so angry today is of course not only because of the rumored news before.

But today, in addition to the news of 'The former prince Xun still has blood left in the world', there is also a piece of 'The reason why Ye Jingche forced the palace on New Year's Eve was because of the former prince's connections, and the reason why Ye Jingche couldn't help forcing the palace, It's all the contacts of the former prince who are playing tricks'.

It was because of this news that Empress Hu was so angry that she couldn't help but come to Emperor Ruikang on her own initiative.

Emperor Ruikang knew that Queen Hu was really angry when Queen Hu called him by his first name.

After so many years, the last time she called her by her first name was when she learned that she was protecting Liu's mother and child.

Regarding the incident back then, he had indeed listened to the words of the Liu family and Ye Jingche's mother and son, that's why he disregarded the minister's dissuasion and forcefully imprisoned the prince's family.

In the end, he also found out that the fire in the Prince's Mansion was the fault of the Liu family. It was all because of the Liu family and Ye Jingche who wanted to get rid of the prince and replace him.

It was just that he was sad about losing a son at the time, and because of the beauty of the Liu family, he brought Ye Jingche, who had always been a caring son, to beg for mercy, so he couldn't bear to deal with the other son for a while, and regardless of Queen Hu's hatred, he forcefully suppressed down the matter.

But Emperor Ruikang understood that what he could find out, Queen Hu could also find out.

So after what happened back then, because of guilt, he kept shutting Empress Hu from seeing her.

He didn't see her, so she locked herself in Fengyi Palace and didn't see her. Later, she directly handed over the palace power, as if she wasn't the queen at all.

Now, she would be so angry, and he understood.

After all, the crown prince was wronged back then, and now that there are such rumors, he doubts whether this is true, but also doubts whether it is Liu Shi and Ye Jingche who are using the matter of the former crown prince to save themselves.

Empress Hu had been paying attention to Emperor Ruikang's expression, and when she saw him showing such an expression, she instantly guessed what he was thinking at the moment.

"You protected their mother and child once back then, if you still protect their mother and child this time, even if the evidence is solid and you don't do anything, then even if I die, I won't be buried with you!"

After leaving these words, Queen Hu turned around and left.

Emperor Ruikang was very angry because of Queen Hu's last words, but he couldn't say anything for a while.

He is a queen like Queen Hu, and he is also the queen of the Yuan Dynasty. If she doesn't bury him with him, won't he lie alone in that cold mausoleum in the future?

Thinking of this, Emperor Ruikang became very angry.

It wasn't until Queen Hu's figure disappeared that he summoned his servants to inquire about the situation of Fengyi Palace.

When the servant told him that he would go to Fengyi Palace and saw that the queen seemed to have just cried, the anger in Emperor Ruikang's heart because of Queen Hu's disrespect disappeared instantly.

"The empress should be so angry."

What happened back then was originally the fault of the Liu family and Ye Jingche, but now he clearly made a big mistake, but he wanted to use the Prince's incident to clear his name, it's no wonder the Queen was so angry.

Emperor Ruikang comforted himself like this, although he persuaded himself, but at the same time sent people to find out what was going on.

Although he was absolutely ashamed of Queen Hu, he was not without doubts about this matter.

His intuition as an emperor told him that this matter was not that simple.

Empress Hu got angry at Emperor Ruikang in the palace, as if to prove that it was Ye Jingche who rescued herself, but after hearing the news, Xu Shiqiu outside the palace felt that it was not that simple.

"There was such a rumor before, and I suspected that there was a pusher behind it. A few days ago, there were other rumors outside the palace, and this news was about to be suppressed, but it popped up again today." Speaking of this, Xu Shiqiu paused, and then continued: "The news seems to be that Ye Jingche is saving himself, but I always feel that this matter will not be that simple."

After hearing Xu Shiqiu's words, Mrs. Xu glanced at Yan Ye who was also puzzled, and said, "In two days' time, it will be the Yuanxi banquet, and your brother-in-law will definitely accompany your sister to come. , when the time comes, you guys will have a good discussion and see if there is any news from your brother-in-law that you don't know about."

The old lady Xu said this because she felt that Ye Jingxing was about to ascend the throne, and he was living in the palace, so there might be some news that Xu Shiqiu and Yan Ye didn't know about.

The most important point is, did the palace also know the news, and if Emperor Ruikang knew the news, what would his reaction be?
Xu Shiqiu and Yan Ye also knew that what Mrs. Xu said made sense, so it would be better to wait another two days than to speculate about this matter here.

Anyway, Yuan's Eve is the [-]th day of the first lunar month, and Ye Jingche's affairs will not be discussed until the [-]th day of the first month.

And the two of them also wanted to take advantage of these two days to investigate carefully to see if they could find out who was behind the scenes.

In this way, it was originally just a simple Zhouzhou banquet to celebrate the Xu family's granddaughter, but it became the last chance for the Xu family to contact their in-laws before the [-]th day of the first lunar month.
