Medicinal Concubine

Chapter 1303 The Empress Dowager Arrives
Then the door of the Tai Chi Hall was opened, and the Queen Mother in a ginger palace dress appeared in front of everyone.

Her vicissitude-stricken eyes were directed straight at Duanmufeng who was standing in the center of the hall and was making things difficult for Emperor Sheng Yuan!

Everyone was shocked, why did the queen mother come to the Tai Chi Hall at this time?

Duanmufeng didn't seem to expect that the Queen Mother would come to the Tai Chi Hall in person, and he was a little surprised when he looked at the Queen Mother from behind...

"Mother, why are you here in such a cold day?"

Emperor Sheng Yuan didn't seem to expect the Queen Mother to come, he was stunned for a moment, then got up and went down to greet him, but was stopped by the Queen Mother:

"The Ai family heard that His Majesty closed the doors of the Taiji Palace. They thought something happened, so they came to have a look. They didn't expect to hear that the nine clans of the Duanmu family were going to be wiped out at the door. Some people questioned whether the Ai family was also there. Among the nine families of the Duanmu family..."

The Empress Dowager walked slowly towards the main hall with the support of her mother, and she didn't stop a step when she passed by Duanmufeng. sat down on the seat.

As soon as the Empress Dowager was seated, everyone in the Taiji Hall left their seats to pay their respects.

"The ministers are waiting to see the queen mother, the queen mother is a thousand years old..."

"Pingshen, go back and sit down!"

Seeing that everyone was seated, the queen mother looked around at the people sitting in the hall, paused on Xin Yi for a while, then moved away, and did not speak for a long time.

The Empress Dowager remained silent, Emperor Sheng Yuan remained silent, and no one in the Tai Chi Hall dared to speak.

However, many people began to ponder in their hearts. At this critical moment, the queen mother appeared and said such words. Is she here to protect Duanmufeng or to run after the queen and the prince?
Although the Empress Dowager is not very close to the Duanmu clan, and sometimes even follows the arrogance of suppressing the Queen and the Prince, but no matter what, the Empress Dowager is from the Duanmu clan, so it is unreasonable to watch myself His family was wiped out like this...

So after thinking about it, they still think that the Queen Mother is here to intercede!
It just depends on Emperor Sheng Yuan's attitude!

It's not a problem to be deadlocked like this, Emperor Sheng Yuan seemed to bite the bullet and said:

"Mother..."

As soon as he opened his mouth, the Empress Dowager immediately intercepted his following words:

"Your Majesty, Ai's family came late. What happened in this Taiji Hall? Didn't it mean that today is a welcome banquet for the envoys of Western Chu and Southern Zhou? What about the envoys of the two countries? What happened to the empress and prince?" All kneeling on the ground? And what is going on with the extermination of the nine clans that General Duanmu said?"

In this way, the speculation of many people just now is more confirmed:
This Queen Mother is here for the Duanmu family!

I just don’t know if His Majesty and His Highness King Zhao can withstand this pressure. After all, the hat of filial piety is really useful sometimes...

"King Rui, come and tell the Queen Mother!"

No one expected that Emperor Sheng Yuan would directly leave this matter to Ling Jingwen.

But after thinking about it, both the crown prince and King Zhao were involved in this matter, so it was perfect for King Rui who stayed out of the matter.

Ling Jingwen, who had enjoyed watching several parties fight, was a little caught off guard by being named.

Seeing him in a daze, Concubine Ji Shu hurriedly reminded:

"Wen'er, Your Majesty asked you to explain to the Empress Dowager what happened just now!"
