Emperor Phoenix Policy: Feng Qingtian

Chapter 396 The Queen Mother
As soon as Wuming left, Feng Jin immediately opened his eyes, which were bright and clear, not at all like he had just woken up.

She slowly sat up, went to the bed, and put on her clothes in a leisurely manner. She was not wearing a gorgeous and noble wide-sleeved robe with fluttering sleeves, but a black dress. She looked at herself in the bronze mirror, The lower abdomen is slightly raised.

The baby in her stomach has been more than four months old. It is strange to say that there is no fetal movement yet. She feels that her body is in good condition and she can feel that the baby is growing a little bit, but there is no fetal movement. Doctor Liu gave Feng Jin a careful examination However, there is no problem with the baby. As for the delay in fetal movement, Imperial Physician Liu could not find out the reason.

Probably this child's personality is relatively quiet and introverted, not so lively and active, Feng Jin thought to himself.

She slowly stroked her belly, and said softly in her heart, Huang Er, you are going back to the capital with the Queen Mother, along the way, you have to be good, and don't hold back the Queen Mother, otherwise the Queen Mother will not obey you.

The warm palm was habitually stuck to the belly, and after a pause, the child in the belly still did not respond. Feng Jin was a little disappointed and was about to withdraw his hand, when he suddenly felt a slight movement on the belly, Feng Jin was stunned up.

This, is this fetal movement?

She pressed her palm tightly to her belly, and after waiting for a while, her belly moved lightly again, and then quickly moved again, the fetal movement became stronger and more frequent.

Feng Jin's eyes were flushed, and she was so excited that tears almost came out. She stroked her stomach and said dotingly and helplessly, "You, you moved right after Daddy left. When Daddy was here, you waited for so many days. , you don't even want to show your face."

As if he understood her words, his stomach twitched slightly again.

After this, the child in her belly became quiet again. Feng Jin waited for a quarter of an hour, but he didn't wait for him to move again.

"You stay in mother's womb obediently, wait for mother to take you back, and get rid of all those bad guys who try to steal your things!"

Feng Jin smiled slightly at herself in the bronze mirror, turned around and walked to the corner, only to find that the silver gentian spear she had put there was gone.

It seems that Wuming took it away.

What was he doing with her gun?Doesn't he use a sword?
Feng Jin couldn't think of a reason for this, so he simply put aside his thoughts, opened the door and walked out, "Let's go, go back to the imperial capital!"

The imperial capital, the palace.

Wang Quan hurriedly walked on the palace road, his expression anxious.

In the past few days, he tried to poison Shen Wenqing three times, but all failed. After Aunt Zhong's death, he bought a little maid in the Queen's bedroom, and tried to poison Shen Wenqing, but all failed.

Speaking of which, Shen Wenqing was also fateful. When Shen Wenqing was about to drink the poisoned cup of tea for the first time, he found a dead mosquito in it. How could he drink it? This mosquito saved his life.

The second time, the lady-in-waiting was about to bring the poisoned ginseng soup to him, but she tripped because of panic, and the ginseng soup was all poured out, and Shen Wenqing escaped again.

The third time, the poison was put in the food. As a result, Shen Wenqing lost his appetite and gave it to a palace servant. The palace servant was poisoned and died. The matter was completely exposed. The palace lady strangled to death, hung on the hanging beam, fabricated the false appearance that the incident was revealed, and hanged herself to death, and even forged a suicide note, pushing Aunt Zhong's death to the young lady, because Aunt Zhong was usually too strict and scolded the little lady, The little maid stabbed Aunt Zhong to death because she held a grudge.

Song Ming didn't find out anything else, the matter ended here, Aunt Zhong's death came to an end, and the officials of the Criminal Ministry withdrew from the palace, Wang Quan was secretly relieved, but he didn't dare to do anything to Shen Wenqing, and he couldn't do anything up.

Today, Wang Quan went to the prime minister's mansion, wanting to discuss with Pei Xiang, but Pei Xiang kept refusing, either he killed Shen Wenqing to prove his ability, or handed over the prince, the edict, and the tiger talisman.

Wang Quan is also an old fox, how can he not understand what Pei Xiang intends, Pei Xiang is deliberately forcing him.

Prime Minister Pei didn't want to collude with him for a great cause at all, he just wanted to hold His Highness the Crown Prince alone and be the first minister of power.

Wang Quan has been hesitating whether to hand over the edict and the tiger talisman. If he doesn't hand it in, Prime Minister Pei is clearly unwilling to go any further. Time is getting tighter. According to the news just received, Wuming has already set off for the northern battlefield. The Queen is in the government office in Yaozhou Rest and recuperation, in a few days, when she recovers, she will drive back to Beijing.

He didn't have much time, and he had to put His Royal Highness on the dragon chair as soon as possible.

But if he pays, then he has no bargaining chips.

Until he returned to his residence in the palace, Wang Quan hadn’t made a decision. Recently, the wind in the palace had relaxed a little, not as tight as before. After thinking about it, Wang Quan walked to the most remote and uninhabited northwest of the palace. It is the place of the cold palace, and Concubine Hui also died in the cold palace before.

Tianci Temple outside the city is a royal temple, and only one lay dweller lives there, who is the current queen mother.

Early this morning, before dawn, Tianci Temple ushered in an unexpected visitor.

"My humble minister, Shen Wenqing, according to His Majesty's will, please see the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager is a thousand years old."

Shen Wenqing knelt in front of the mountain gate, knocked her forehead heavily on the old mottled stone steps, and said loudly.

With a creak, the mountain gate slowly opened, and a middle-aged woman about forty years old in a gray monk's robe came out. Shen Wenqing glanced at her, and immediately saluted, "I met Aunt Su Lan."

Su Lan is the Empress Dowager's confidant maid, and she has been with the Empress Dowager for more than twenty years. After hearing Shen Wenqing's words, Su Lan raised her eyebrows slightly, and said calmly, with no trace of joy or anger in her tone, "How do you know that I am an aunt, not an aunt? Empress?"

Shen Wenqing was silent for a moment before saying, "My aunt's face is gentle and gentle, she doesn't have the majesty of the queen mother, and besides, is there any reason for the queen mother to open the mountain gate herself?"

Su Lan's eyes lit up slightly, her face was expressionless, and she said lightly, "Jiangnan Shen Wenqing, well-deserved reputation."

"My aunt is too famous, and Wen Qing dare not be her."

"Come in, the queen mother is waiting for you."

Shen Wenqing thanked Aunt Sulan neither humble nor overbearing, and followed her into Tianci Temple.

Tianci Temple was very quiet, there was no one and no lights, but Shen Wenqing could feel that there were many masters not inferior to him hidden in the temple.

Shen Wenqing restrained her mind, her palms were a little sweaty, this Empress Dowager must be very difficult, I don't know why Her Majesty the Empress asked him to come to see the Empress Dowager.

When they arrived at a room in the backyard, Aunt Su Lan told Shen Wenqing to wait a while, and she went in first.

After a while, Aunt Su Lan came out to welcome Shen Wenqing in.

The room was decorated elegantly and plainly. The Empress Dowager was sitting cross-legged on the couch by the window, flipping through a volume of scriptures.

Shen Wenqing lifted the corner of her robe, and bowed respectfully, "I will see the empress dowager, the empress dowager is a thousand years old."

Shen Wenqing lowered her head, feeling two seemingly calm but in fact unfathomable gazes on the top of his head, those gazes scratching his scalp like knives, making Shen Wenqing's scalp numb and her body break out in cold sweat.

He always thought that Her Majesty's power was already strong enough, but he didn't expect the Queen Mother to give way.

The difference is that the queen's power lies in the fierce power. When she hits her face, a thousand-weight force rushes to her face, and she can't straighten her back at once, while the queen mother's power is calm, like a trickle. It is imperceptible, but after a while, you will know that the so-called trickle is all sharp and cold knives.

I don't know how long it took, when Shen Wenqing's palms started to sweat, the Queen Mother's unhurried voice sounded slowly, "Get up."

Shen Wenqing slowly stood up straight, lowered her head, and waited for the Queen Mother to inquire.

"The emperor asked you to come?"

"Going back to the Empress Dowager, it was Your Majesty who sent the humble minister here."

The Queen Mother gave a soft 'hmm' and stopped talking. There were only slight sounds of turning prayer beads and turning pages of books in the room.

Shen Wenqing was a little impatient, but knew that he couldn't be impatient, so he could only bear it with all his might. He had heard rumors about the queen mother, who had been up and down in the palace for many years, and could still sit firmly as queen without a prince. Even the plan to abolish the empress and help Concubine Hui be the empress was resolved by the empress dowager.

The late emperor had princes, even more than one. They didn't die shortly after birth, or died of illness or accident at the age of three or five. Now, if it is said that there is no handwriting of the Queen Mother, who will believe it?

Three or four princes disappeared one by one, Concubine Hui was thrown into limbo when she was pregnant, and the queen mother, a woman, was able to help the queen to the throne and became the only female emperor since ancient times.

It can be said that the Empress Dowager is no worse than Her Majesty the Empress. Even, the Empress is sometimes too kind-hearted, while the Empress Dowager is more ruthless and more ruthless.
