The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

Chapter 440 Entering the Palace (2)
"I've guarded against him for so many years, but I didn't expect him to turn against me." Empress Dowager Wei said coldly, propping her temples and leaning on the imperial concubine's couch, her usually sharp eyes were a little more depressed.

"The regent is also strange. He had already backed down during the palace change ten years ago. Now that the emperor is grown up, he also said that he would let the emperor be in charge. What is there to oppose at this time?" Liu Qingyan said lightly, raising her head and looking Looking outside the door, Fengyi Palace was brightly lit, and the maids standing around all lowered their brows and listened, but they were somewhat depressed.

Empress Dowager Wei snorted coldly, closed her eyes and said calmly, "Is Zhao Jing here?"

"Not yet, I have already sent someone to invite them, and they will probably be here soon." Liu Qingyan lowered her eyebrows and glanced at Empress Dowager Wei, remembering that she usually didn't like Zhao Jing that much, but now at such an urgent moment, she sent someone to invite her She didn't know the reason, "The relationship between Mrs. Wu'anhou and the emperor is really unusual. She was pregnant with Liujia, and she was the first to enter the palace after hearing such a thing..."

Before she could finish her words, Empress Dowager Wei sneered, opened her closed eyes suddenly, and said with a bit of sternness in her eyes: "I'm afraid her relationship with the regent is better! I'll call her over, I just want to ask her why the regent rebelled!"

Liu Qingyan was really shocked when she heard this. She didn't know these things at first, but after learning about Zhao Jing's life experience, she gradually began to understand a little bit.According to the information she got, it was the princess regent who picked up Zhao Jing from the Zhao family and sent her to the palace.It's just that she couldn't figure out why the princess sent her own sister to the palace.

"Does the empress dowager know why Zhao Jing came into the palace back then?" Liu Qingyan frowned, turned her head to look at the empress dowager Wei and said, "If it was really a coincidence that she was sold into the palace, it would indeed be too coincidental some……"

Empress Dowager Wei suddenly came to her senses at this moment, her body lying limply on the couch stiffened a little, she jumped up and asked Liu Qingyan, "What do you know?"

Liu Qingyan was so frightened by Queen Mother Wei's actions that her heart thumped, and she asked cautiously: "Didn't the Queen Mother send someone to check Zhao Jing's family background?"

At this time, Empress Dowager Wei's back gradually turned cold, because she really hadn't checked Zhao Jing's family background.The maids purchased in the palace had already found out that their family backgrounds were innocent before entering the palace, so they would have the opportunity to enter the palace, and she would not deliberately ask more questions.What's more, when Zhao Jing first entered the palace, she was just the lowest maid in Fengyi Palace, so she put her in front of her because she saw her appearance.

As for later, on the day of the palace change, Zhao Jing was seriously injured and couldn't remember many things, but she became more and more calm and steady, so she fell in love with her and asked her to serve the little emperor.

"What do you mean?" Empress Dowager Wei pulled the silk handkerchief in her palm and asked Liu Qingyan, "Could it be that Zhao Jing was deliberately placed next to Ai's family and the emperor by the regent?"

Seeing the queen mother's reaction like this, Liu Qingyan guessed that she didn't know, so she just lowered her eyebrows and said, "It's not the regent king, it's the regent princess."

"You...what did you say..." Empress Dowager Wei faltered and sat down on the soft couch behind her, her face turned pale in an instant: "The dead woman, what do you want her to do by the emperor's side!"

Empress Dowager Wei roared heart-piercingly. Accompanied by the creaking sound of the door opening, the little eunuchs who were talking back and forth shrank their necks in fright.

Zhao Jing, who was standing outside the gate of Fengyi Palace waiting for an audience, was suddenly startled by the scream.

She gathered the robe on her body, for fear that the wind would blow into her back which was drenched in cold sweat.

"Call her in."

Empress Dowager Wei stood up from the soft couch, asked the maid to straighten her crimson phoenix robe, turned around and said to Liu Qingyan: "You wait here, Aijia will go see her."

Zhao Jing was led into Fengyi Palace. At this time, the brightly lit palace was in a state of awe, no one dared to speak, and even the footsteps were too soft to hear. She lowered her eyes and followed the little eunuch just now, listening to his whispered reply. : "Go back to the Empress Dowager, Mrs. Wu'anhou is here."

After Zhao Jing heard this, she rolled up her skirt and knelt down. Her lower abdomen was slightly protruding, and her movements were far from being as convenient as before.Empress Dowager Wei just watched her kneel down, and everyone around her backed away. After a long time, she rushed over like crazy, pulled Zhao Jing by the collar and asked, "I ask you, did you enter the palace when you entered the palace?" What is it for!"

Zhao Jing's body was almost knocked down to the ground, and the collar of her chin was getting tighter and tighter. She raised her head to look at the gradually enlarged face of Queen Mother Wei. She had never noticed that the wrinkles at the corners of Queen Mother Wei's eyes were so deep.

"I...I..." Zhao Jing's eyes flashed, she closed her eyes and said, "I was inserted into the palace by the princess regent to assassinate the emperor." She was powerless to hide it anymore, and all this would eventually be like her life experience , was revealed to the world.

Empress Dowager Wei's fingers suddenly lost strength, she suddenly raised her head, with a self-deprecating smile on her face: "Huang Er, you heard, this is the aunt you miss so much."

Zhao Jing swayed, she turned her head, and saw the little emperor Zhou Xu standing at the door, his seemingly calm face was as cold as ice.
