Lord Quan teases Houmen's poisonous wife

264 Threat
The few who were used to serving Mrs. Tai had never seen her lose her composure, and immediately realized that something was wrong, but no one dared to ask, even the concierge was taken aback by the old lady's reaction. Immediately after the report was over, he was silent like a cicada.

"Go, arrange someone to serve tea in the front hall." The old lady ordered to the nurse next to her, "Leave after serving the tea, and no one is allowed to wander around there."

The close nurse felt more and more important about this matter, and immediately went down to make arrangements.

After everything was ready, the old lady came to the front hall alone, and saw that there was already a person sitting in it. He was wearing a silver mask, so he couldn't see his face clearly, and he was wearing a sky blue gown, and he couldn't guess anything from his clothes.

"And I don't know what your Excellency is doing in Tai's house?" The old lady opened her mouth as soon as she sat down. Decades of accumulation made her look calm and majestic.

Yi Bai played with the jade pendant in his hand.

Only then did Mrs. Tai notice that her face changed violently. She recognized this thing and Lu Qingwan had been wearing it when she came to their house. It's just that she never asked, but one thing is certain, this kind of jade I searched the entire imperial capital and couldn't find the same one (of course, this is within the knowledge of the old lady. She didn't know Princess Jing'an Chu Xiangyi, and she didn't know that Chu Xiangyi also had another jade piece that was exactly the same on her body. Pendant) So it is easy to determine the identity of Lu Qingwan's owner from this thing, not to mention that this person said that he knew Lu Qingwan as soon as he opened his mouth. Who is it?
"Where did you get this thing in your hand?" Mrs. Tai became more and more anxious. Although Lu Qingwan was dead, even if there was some "evidence", she could completely deny it, but some things were not her fault. It's under control, especially since she doesn't know anything about Lu Qingwan's past, if her natal family or other important people come to her door, she might not be able to tell clearly with ten mouths.

"It's my mother's relic." Yi Bai said only then.

This voice, this voice...

Old Madam Tai was so frightened that her hands trembled and her heart trembled, she stood up abruptly, her eyes fixed on Yi Bai, "You...you are?"

The concierge is a newcomer, and it is impossible for him to recognize the voice of the grandson of the Tai family, but Mrs. Tai is not yet old and faint, she will not remember wrongly, and it is impossible to remember wrongly, this is her precious grandson Yi Bai's voice.

At the beginning, I felt that I couldn't see anything, but now, no matter how I look at it, I feel very much like Yi Bai.

But... how is it possible?Yi Bai is clearly dead!

"Who the hell are you?" Mrs. Tai suddenly realized something and slowly calmed down. She remembered that Lu Qingwan had given birth to Lu Qingwan before she came to the Lu family. Could it be that this is Lu Qingwan's other child?Then he will be justified like Yi Bai.

"Grandma, it's me."

Yi Bai slowly took off his mask.

Seeing his appearance clearly, Mrs. Tai almost fell off the grand teacher's chair, "Ah Bai, good boy, why is it you, haven't you already..."

I have already shut up about the latter words. At the beginning, Yi Bai was ordered by Emperor Xuanzong to be sent to the funeral palace to leave his spirit. This incident caused a great sensation, and even now some people still talk about it.

People outside all praised Emperor Xuanzong's love for Yi Bai, a courtier, so he bestowed such a great honor on him after his death. Mrs. Tai didn't know what Yi Zhuoming thought, but she always felt that there was something hidden in every aspect of this matter. Strange, think about it, if Emperor Xuanzong really loved him, he could have personally built Yi Bai's coffin, or given him a special title to last forever, why did he have to take the coffin to the funeral palace? It is said that it was eventually replaced by For the burial under the prince's coffin, the coffin was built by Emperor Xuanzong with his own eyes, but there is no conclusion. Just because of this point, Mrs. Tai thinks that Emperor Xuanzong has something wrong. Maybe his purpose is not to regret Yi Bai's death at all. And to add some conditions to him that will make the world envious and jealous, it seems to use this action to let all the people in Beiyan know that Yi Bai is dead.

Of course, this is all Madam Tai’s insane idea that she only dared to speculate and did not dare to open her mouth. At that time, she was shocked, but there was no way, this was her first instinct, although this kind of intuition is very confusing. , but I would rather believe it than believe it, and just think about it, and it won't break the law.

"National teacher Yi Bai is dead." He said without hesitation: "The one standing in front of you now is only A Bai, a son who came back to avenge his biological mother."

"Revenge?" Mrs. Tai was more puzzled, feeling her mind was in a mess, "Ah Bai, can you tell me exactly what happened and how did you come back?"

Yi Bai looked outside the door worriedly.

Mrs. Tai immediately realized something, stood up and opened the hidden compartment on the west wall. There was a secret passage here. After entering, there were several secret rooms, which were also the place where Mrs. Tai hid Lu Qingwan back then. Lu Qingwan failed to "become" herself Before Tai Zhiyun, she taught here over and over again, from the living habits, the way of speaking, hobbies, the usual small movements and where there is a mark on the skin of the body, everything is clearly taught.

Yi Bai didn't say much, and followed Mrs. Tai to the secret room, and then explained everything that happened that year to Mrs. Tai in detail.

After listening, the old lady was silent for nearly a cup of tea, "So, my biological daughter became a hindrance to Emperor Cheng Xiao's revenge, so she was cruelly murdered by design, and the purpose was to let Lu Qingwan marry my daughter to Yi Zhuoming, sow discord between Yi Zhuoming and King Jingan?"

"Yes, but my mother was completely forced." Yi Bai's face darkened slightly.

Mrs. Tai is holding her ten fingers tightly, and the veins on the back of her hand are hideous. It is true that the Tai family found a counterfeit to marry into the prime minister's mansion. This is indeed deceiving the king, but I didn't expect that she would be deceived by the king before she deceived the king. Well, after all, the Tai family is "the deceived king".

And Lu Qingwan, Lu Qingwan... her daughter died for her.

The grief that could not be expressed because of the tragic death of her daughter surged up almost instantly, and then Mrs. Tai almost collapsed, her face was distorted, and she cried out.

Yi Bai just stood by the side all the time, didn't persuade, didn't even say a word, not being able to persuade was one of the reasons, and more because he felt that it might be better for Mrs. Tai to cry out at such a time.

After the real Tai Zhiyun died, the Tai family kept it secret and did not mourn for her for 20 years. When Lu Qingwan died, she was already a member of the prime minister's mansion. It was not the Tai family's turn to mourn, so Mrs. Tai cried faintly in front of Lu Qingwan's coffin In the past, it was not Lu Qingwan who cried, but her own daughter.

Finding another woman to replace her daughter has been Madam Tai's lifelong heart knot, but now she knows that all of this was deliberately arranged, and any mother would collapse if she thought about it.

Old Madam Tai cried for a long time before she stopped, wiped away her tears, and looked at Yi Bai, "Did that old fox Yi Zhuoming tell you these words?"

"Yes."

"Your mother, she..." Mrs. Tai still finds it unbelievable that Yi Bai is Emperor Cheng Xiao's... adulterous child? !
Yi Bai also didn't want to admit his shady status, but now, he has not much time left, and he can't waste it like this, otherwise his plan to avenge his mother will fail.

"My mother had a rough life. She was exploited by the same man over and over again. When she died...I was still a baby when I died. I didn't even see her last side. I just heard people say that she She looks extremely beautiful." Now, it seems that beauty and kindness are the swords that kill Lu Qingwan. From the beginning, Lu Qingwan should not have saved Ye Cheng, so Ye Cheng was sent by King Jing'an Ye Kuan long ago. The killer was killed on the way, how can there be so many bad things now?
Recalling that year, Mrs. Tai smiled wryly, "Yes, I remember I hugged you when the prime minister's mansion was in mourning, probably because I felt that my biological mother had left forever, and I cried so heartbreakingly that I also Made me cry."

"Old lady." Yi Bai was a little moved.

Mrs. Tai raised her head with a "Huh?"

Yi Bai lowered his eyes, "A Bai is not from the Yi family, and has nothing to do with the Tai family."

"Nonsense!" Mrs. Tai frowned, "Everyone in Beiyan knows that Abai is a noble national teacher, and even the grandson of the Tai family." Yi Bai's status as a national teacher has indeed brought unshakable pressure to the Tai family. Status, but this is not what Mrs. Tai sees.

Yi Bai might think that she should hate Lu Qingwan, but she admitted that the moment she learned the truth, she really hated Lu Qingwan. She wished that the person who died back then was not her daughter, but Lu Qingwan, but she was also a woman. I can imagine the desperate environment Lu Qingwan was in at that time, and I can also imagine the crazy actions a mother would do to protect her son Zhouquan. She can do it even if she is asked to kill and set fire.

When Yi Bai came here, he had thought that if Mrs. Tai killed her and blamed his mother for all the crimes, then he would use what happened back then as a threat to make the Tai family have to do things for him, but he didn't expect to worry too much. Well, Mrs. Tai's love for him has not been diminished in the slightest because of her unbearable status.

"Grandmother." He couldn't help shouting.

Old Madam Tai restrained her emotions and asked him, "My good boy, where did you get it from?"

"Nanliang."

"So far..." Madam Tai murmured, Lu Qingwan is from Nanliang, so Yi Bai must be looking for his real natal family, right? "Then what do you want to come to Beiyan to find me at the risk?"

Yi Bai didn't answer but instead asked, "Grandma, did you ever think about avenging your real daughter?"

think!Why don't you think about it, she's been thinking about it for 20 years, but in the previous 20 years, she always thought that Tai Zhiyun was really just going out and encountered a disaster and was unfortunately killed by bandits. She never thought that the culprit was Emperor Cheng Xiao, which is even more ironic What's more, so many descendants of the Tai family who are officials in the court are working hard for the enemy every day.

This is the difference between monarchs and ministers. Thunder, rain and dew are all the favor of the monarch. Don't say that this is just an assassination, even if you are killed in front of you, you have to kowtow to him to thank him.

When Yi Bai said this, Mrs. Tai immediately understood his intentions. Although she really wanted to avenge her daughter, the Tai family is a family, not a single person. If you make a mistake, the whole family will be burdened. Even Mrs. Tai is eager to love her daughters, so she dare not make fun of the lives of her family members.

"Abai, it's not that grandma doesn't want to help you, but that what you are going to do is too terrible. Any mistake will cause unpredictable and serious consequences. Have you carefully considered all of this?"

"I've considered it." Yi Bai said flatly, "And I've thought about it very clearly."

"Then what do you say?"

Yi Bai said: "The Tai family has a daughter in the harem, many things can be done through her."

Madam Tai's face turned pale, "No, Concubine Wan has a pure heart. Let her stand out and take risks."

Although she doesn't care whose child Yi Bai, the grandson who has loved since childhood, is, at this time, she has to weigh the pros and cons and make the best choice for the family. Obviously, she can't risk the lives of so many people. Betting on an unsure game, because the success or failure is not equal, and if it is done, she is only making up for a flaw in her heart, and cannot bring her daughter back to life. Even if she can make her daughter come back to life, it is only one life, and once she loses, The entire Tai family would have to be paid for. This was hundreds of people's lives, whichever is more important, Mrs. Tai's heart is like a bright mirror.

Yi Bai's face darkened, "If that's the case, then I'll take my leave."

"Ah Bai." Mrs. Tai called him, "Although I can't help you with anything, if you want to come back for a sit down, I can arrange it for you at any time."

Yi Bai walked out of the yard without looking back.

Obviously, this failure just shows that Yi Bai has a low EQ and is ignorant of the world. After staying in the Taoist temple for many years, he has only learned to be pure-hearted and ascetic. He is not sure about how to deal with interpersonal relationships and how to grasp and control people's hearts. , but if Lu Xiuyuan were replaced, he would be able to make the most of today's great opportunity.

Back at the house in the south of the city, Lu Xiuyuan also came back, as if he had been waiting for him for a long time, "Where have you been?"

"Walk casually." Yi Bai immediately regained his thoughts.

"Coincidentally." Lu Xiuyuan hooked his lips, "I also went out for a casual walk, but I saw a man on Rong'an Street. Judging by his figure, he looks very much like you!"

Yi Bai narrowed his eyes and pupils, "Are you following me?" Rong'an Street is the street where the Tai family's mansion is located, and that area is neither a market nor a busy market. Apart from following him, Lu Xiuyuan has no reason to go there.

"I said, it's just a coincidence." Lu Xiuyuan's expression remained unchanged, and he looked at Yi Bai with a little more inquiring gaze, "Didn't you say that you don't want any relatives to know that you are still alive? Why do you want to go to your mother's house? "

"What does it have to do with you?" Yi Bai's face was slightly cold, he took off his mask and sat beside him.

Lu Xiuyuan chuckled nonchalantly, "Looking at you like this, it seems that you don't get along very well with Tai's family. Why, are people from outside the house not happy when they see you?"

"Lu Xiuyuan, are you interested in other people's private affairs?"

Of course not, Lu Xiuyuan is not a person who likes to put a hot face on a cold butt, he just vaguely feels that Yi Bai seems to be under great pressure, is it because returning to Beiyan again has aroused some uneasiness in him, or? Said he really encountered something difficult?

If Yi Bai didn't say anything, it would be impossible for Lu Xiuyuan to get the answer, "The person you are going to deal with is also my enemy, but I am different from you. I was thinking, what kind of deep hatred is there that would make you not hesitate to leave your status as a national teacher and feign death in front of everyone's noses to come back for revenge in this way, maybe if you say it, I can resonate with you, and even inspire me to take revenge What about your determination, wouldn’t you get twice the result with half the effort?”

Yi Bai's bloodless face was even paler, "Your enemy?" Could it be that Lu Xiuyuan already knew something?

"Yes, bloody hatred."

Lu Xiuyuan said bluntly, "My mother paid someone wrong when I was young, so I was born out of marriage, but the man who promised to pick her up once she became a master did not come back, because he married after Dacheng. Other women, it was his first wife who later sent someone to take my mother away. I don't know whether it was his intention or just his first wife's unilateral intention, but I think, without his instruction, his That first wife was not so bold, she arrested my mother, and even stabbed poisonous needles into my knees. Since then, my legs have been unable to touch the ground for 20 years. So, do you think I should hatred?"

Yi Bai still didn't understand how much he knew, "Then do you know where your mother went?"

"I don't know." Lu Xiuyuan shook his head, "When I was in Lu's residence, I saw you were very excited when you saw my mother's portrait, and thought you knew her."

Yi Bai didn't answer directly, but looked surprised, "So that's your mother? Don't you say aunt?"

"I lied to you." Lu Xiuyuan admitted without thinking, "She is my aunt in name, but she is actually my mother."

"Suddenly realized" Yi Bai's face, "Aren't you Lu Jiaping's son?"

"It's his eldest nephew."

"How many people know about this?" Yi Bai asked again.

"Apart from my three uncles, Su Yan, and you, probably only my mother and that man know about it, but they've been gone for a long time, so two more insiders are missing."

Yi Bai raised his eyebrows, "If you dare to tell me, you won't be afraid of me poking it out?"

Of course Lu Xiuyuan was not afraid, "Not to mention that you are a person who can't see the light now, even if you can see the light, you are not ordered to spread my secret everywhere."

The words "can't see the light", Lu Xiuyuan said one meaning, but Yi Bai heard another meaning, like a thorn pierced hard in his heart, the pain caused his handsome face to distort as a whole.

Lu Xiuyuan frowned, "Did it happen again?"

"Probably tired." Yi Bai waved his hand away, "Go out, I'll take a rest."

Lu Xiuyuan originally wanted to say "I told you all the secrets but you still didn't say anything", but looking at him like this, if he dared to say one more word, he might spit out a mouthful of blood.

When he was in the Lu Mansion, Lu Xiuyuan had personally seen blood coming from his mouth and nose, which was terrible. At that time, he was thinking that a person like Yi Bai who was tossed by illness several times a day still had the faith to live. I can't give up, even if my legs can no longer stand up, I still have to find a way to find my mother's last whereabouts in Beiyan.

"I'll send someone to fetch the doctor." Standing up, Lu Xiuyuan said.

"No need." Yi Bai replied anxiously and quickly, as if he was in a hurry to drive people out.

Lu Xiuyuan frowned, "Are you sure you can handle it?"

A bitter smile rose from the corner of Yi Bai's mouth, "It doesn't matter if you can handle it, or if you can't. Anyway, I have carried it for so many years, and I don't care about suffering this."

"You are really stubborn." Lu Xiuyuan had nothing to do with him.

After the people left, Yi Bai lay on his back on the bed in the inner room, staring at the ceiling with his eyes. He didn't have a fit, but he thought of many things through the words "can't see the light". The details of how his mother brought him to wait for Emperor Cheng Xiao at Luming Mountain made him feel uncomfortable.

That kind of deep-rooted and extinguished hatred can't find a proper owner to vent. Sometimes Yi Bai is even annoyed, why can't he find out his life experience earlier, preferably as early as when Emperor Cheng Xiao is still alive, then he will He can think of all kinds of ways to torture that ungrateful man to death, but now, he can only find his wife and son, which is far from eliminating the monstrous hatred in Yi Bai's bones.

"Master, it's time to drink the medicine."

A golden gull knocked on the door.

Yi Bai didn't bother to respond, so he simply remained silent.

Jin Ou was terribly frightened by him, and kicked the door in. Seeing his master staring straight at the ceiling with his eyes open, he didn't blink, and his face changed drastically, "Master, you..."

"What medicine?" Yi Bai was annoyed by his noisy voice, and turned his head.

"Heart-protecting, last time in the Lu Mansion, the Duke gave you a prescription before leaving."

Yi Bai sat up slowly, glanced at the soup in the white porcelain bowl, "It doesn't have any effect, pour it out!"

"Master, absolutely not." Jin Ou said anxiously: "The prescription prescribed by the Duke of the country is something that no other doctor can prescribe. Even if the effect is not so obvious, it will always play a little role. Drink more or less, so that the subordinates can feel at ease."

Yi Bai didn't want to hear him talk anymore, so he simply picked up the bowl, without frowning, and drank cleanly.

Jin Ou's tense face finally relaxed a bit, "The master is resting, and the subordinate is leaving."

"Stop!" A cold look appeared on Yi Bai's face.

"master?"

"I asked you to take Lu Xiuyuan out today, why did you take him to Rong'an Street?"

"This..." Jin Ou looked embarrassed, "Young Master Lu asked to go, and his subordinates also persuaded him tactfully at the time, but he didn't listen, and insisted on going to have a look, and the subordinates didn't dare to stop them for fear of him Suspicious."

"Is Lu Xiuyuan very familiar with Beiyan Emperor?" If I heard correctly, this is indeed Lu Xiuyuan's first visit to Beiyan. Why did he choose Rong'an Street so coincidentally instead of going elsewhere?
"Unfamiliar." Jin Ou shook his head, "But before he came, his hidden guard sent him the distribution map of the neighbors in the Beiyan Imperial Capital. Going out today is not so much a game as he is holding Use that map to confirm the location."

"So that's how it is." Yi Bai took a deep breath, "You have nothing to do, step back!"

-

Lu Xiuyuan returned to his yard, and Wan Tong was waiting for him outside the door.

Lu Xiuyuan asked: "Is there something wrong?"

Wan Tong said: "Young master, a secret letter has just been sent from the hidden guard in ambush in the palace. Do you want to read it first or let your subordinates send it directly to Mr. Bai?"

"Send it to him!" After Lu Xiuyuan finished speaking, he thought of something and changed his words again, "Bring it here and let me have a look."

Wan Tong stepped forward and handed him the secret report, and Lu Xiuyuan opened it. There were some strange symbols on the secret report. This was the "password" used by the Yinwei of the Lu family when handing over the information. Outsiders could not understand it at all. Every symbol There are corresponding "translations", but Lu Xiuyuan does not need to look through the booklet that records the translation. He is a businessman and has dealt with account books since he was very young, so his memory is extraordinary. He has already memorized the booklet by heart. A piece of information, he can translate it immediately with just a casual glance.

After glancing at the content, Lu Xiuyuan didn't say anything, and handed it to Wan Tong, "Send it over there!"

"Yes."

Wan Tong quickly delivered the secret report to Yi Bai.

The sealant envelope had been opened a long time ago, and Yi Bai knew without thinking that Lu Xiuyuan had read it, and he also unwrapped the contents with a casual glance, and then asked Wan Tong, "Since your young master has read it, have you ever said anything? "

"No." Wan Tong shook his head, "The young master just glanced at it, didn't say a single extra word, and asked me to send it to the young master."

"Okay, I see." Yi Bai said while sending the secret report to the candlestick, but it burned to ashes in a moment.

After Wantong retired, Yi Bai lay back on the couch again, and the secret report said that because of Concubine Qin, the relationship between Emperor Xuanzong and Empress Dowager Zhu had recently become more and more acute, and they might be able to use this breakthrough to plan.

Yi Bai also felt that this was a great opportunity, but if he wanted to attack Concubine Qin, he had to have someone to support him in Beiyan's harem, and the concubine Wan who entered the palace from Tai's family was the perfect candidate , How can I get the support of Mrs. Tai?
Yi Bai thought about it all night, and finally decided to give Concubine Wan some material.

He thought so, and of course he did so, the speed of which was jaw-dropping.

So the next day, rumors spread in the palace that Concubine Wan was infected with a strange poison.

The old lady Tai was startled and anxious, and immediately changed her order to enter the palace and ask to see Concubine Wan. With the current status of the Tai family, Emperor Xuanzong would naturally not embarrass her, and directly asked someone to guide her.

Then Mrs. Tai was surprised to find that in just one night, her little niece looked as if she was 20 years older, to the point where she ran out of oil and the lamp was dying.

As for the people who were fine before yesterday, why did they become infected with a strange poison overnight? What kind of poison did they get? The Tai Hospital said that they couldn't tell who did it. Queen Lin said that they are investigating.

In fact, whether it is the "poor medical skills" of the Tai Hospital or the "no news" of Queen Lin, there are more or less elements inspired by Queen Mother Zhu in it. The reason is very simple. The hidden dangers of Jiangshan, Empress Dowager Zhu's idea is that I would rather destroy you than let you become a cancer that threatens me in the future, but Emperor Xuanzong is just the opposite of her. Emperor Xuanzong believes that the Tai clan still has a lot of room to use. Within a reasonable range of control, it is more appropriate for the Tai family to take the initiative in many matters. It not only gives the Tai family supreme glory, but also finds a blame for themselves, which kills two birds with one stone.

It is not a day or two since the mother and son have different political opinions. When Emperor Xuanzong first came to power, because he was young, Empress Dowager Zhu would inevitably point him out behind his back, and Emperor Xuanzong never doubted his biological mother's decision-making. After all, his mother was with the first emperor. He came here in the rain, and he has more ideas than him about many things in the government, but this kind of "pointing" is okay for a day or two, but after a long time, it becomes another meaning. How could he allow other people to snore, even if that person was his dear old lady?

Coupled with Empress Dowager Zhu's attitude towards Concubine Qin, the originally calm Emperor Xuanzong became more and more irritable, so that now, the mother and son are just maintaining the face of mother's kindness and filial piety in front of people, while the inner son has long been torn to pieces It's all in tatters, and it's precisely because it's hidden so well, coupled with Empress Dowager Zhu's strong "anti-reconnaissance" ability, that Lu Xiuyuan's hidden guards have only now found any clues.

As for the civil and military officials of Beiyan, most of them don't know these things, because the queen mother did not listen to the government behind the curtain, and if she wanted to give the emperor any advice, she would go directly to Taiji Palace to find Emperor Xuanzong, so that the imperial court would be prevented. The possibility of criticism by history and writing has also successfully hidden himself as a "behind the scenes".

And a small number of people with clear minds may have smelled some signs, but without tangible evidence, they will not talk nonsense. Moreover, those who know current affairs are heroes. Even if the queen mother really interferes in politics, the emperor will not speak. What's the fuss about following around?
At this moment, in front of Concubine Wan's sick bed, Madam Tai asked the maid in a deep voice with a sullen face, "What did Concubine Wan eat wrong?"

The maid said: "The imperial doctor came to check earlier, and there is nothing abnormal about the food you eat recently."

"Then has she ever come into contact with any people and special objects?"

"Returning to the old lady, what you said has been checked by the imperial physician, and everything is normal."

"How is it possible!" Mrs. Tai didn't believe it, she hadn't eaten anything wrong, hadn't touched any special objects, and even everything around her was normal, so how could Concubine Wan be poisoned for no reason?

Of course, Mrs. Tai couldn't imagine that Yi Bai is a master of poison, if he wanted to do something casually, how could an ordinary imperial physician find out?Besides, according to the information given to Yi Bai by Lu Jiayinwei, Empress Dowager Zhu not only does not want to see Concubine Qin, but also does not want to see Concubine Wan. Concubine Wan can be poisoned, Empress Dowager Zhu is the mastermind, and Yi Bai just happened to catch up. It's just a push.

As for Empress Dowager Zhu's attitude towards Concubine Wan, the reason is because of the Tai family behind Concubine Wan.

In name, Concubine Wan can be regarded as Yi Bai's elder. It is indeed a bit immoral for him to do so, but regardless of whether Yi Bai has "heart" and "virtue", from the point of view, he is not only trying to make Mrs. Tai asked to come to the door, and she wanted to let Mrs. Tai see clearly what the Queen Mother's attitude towards the Tai family is. If the Tai family continues to rely on Emperor Xuanzong's "favor" and does not know how to restrain themselves, then it will definitely become the queen mother of Zhu in the future. According to Empress Dowager Zhu's ruthless and merciless style, she doesn't care who you are, and she will definitely uproot your entire family. She would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go. She is talking about people like Empress Dowager Zhu.

"Old lady." Concubine Wan's face was ashen on the sick bed, and she spoke weakly, "I'm fine, just rest and rest, you don't have to worry."

Both eyes are black and blue, and there is no blood on the face. Is this all right?Madam Tai hated her so much that she held Concubine Wan's hand, "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will definitely find a way to heal you."

She knew her own body well, and Concubine Wan knew in her heart that she would not survive these two days, but she still nodded with a face-saving smile, expressing her willingness to trust Mrs. Tai.

This smile made old Madam Tai feel sad. After leaving the palace, she did not rush back to the mansion, but told the coachman, "Go to the prime minister's mansion."

The eldest daughter-in-law who accompanied Mrs. Tai was very puzzled, "Why did mother go to the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

Mrs. Tai said: "I have something to do with my uncle."

The eldest daughter-in-law didn't dare to ask more questions, so she helped the old lady into the carriage.

Yi Zhuoming didn't expect Mrs. Tai to come over in person at all, with a puzzled expression on his face, he came out to greet the guests after carefully tidying up his appearance.

"Old lady, why did you come here in person today?"

"I have something to do with you." Mrs. Tai glanced at Yi Zhuoming's left and right attendants indiscriminately.

Yi Zhuoming understood, and immediately shut everyone out, then cupped his hands at the old lady, "What's the matter, tell me."

The old lady took a deep look at him, she wasn't really sure whether Yi Zhuoming knew about Yi Bai's life, she came here just to test him out.

"Hungry Ghost Festival is coming soon, is your mansion ready to pay homage to my precious grandson?"

"It's natural." Yi Zhuoming didn't dare to neglect, "Old Madam, just rest assured, no one in the Prime Minister's House can forget him."

"That would be the best." With just one sentence, Mrs. Tai could see that Yi Zhuoming didn't know that Yi Bai was still alive, and originally wanted to ask Yi Zhuoming where Yi Bai stayed, but now it seems , I was afraid that he was going to fail, and I was a little annoyed in my heart, I shouldn't have let him go like that that day, anyway, I should ask him where he is hiding first.

Now, Concubine Wan is in critical condition, and only Yi Bai can save her.

Yi Zhuoming raised his head and took a look at Mrs. Tai, seeing her melancholy expression, he asked again, "I heard that the old lady has entered the palace to see Concubine Wan, how is she doing?"

"It's not good." Madam Tai sighed, it was because it was not good that she was anxious to find Yi Bai, but now she didn't even know where Yi Bai was, let alone ask him to come forward to help Concubine Wan detoxify.

"What did the imperial doctor say?" Yi Zhuoming looked nervous.

"What can I say, the symptoms of poisoning are rare, and I can't come up with an effective method for a while, so I can only cook some warm and tonic soup for a while. Going into the palace to have a doctor’s consultation for the empress, but after thinking about it, it seems that there is no such a suitable person, and besides, it is the palace, without the permission of the emperor, who can go in at will?" But she knew that she That precious grandson happened to be well versed in the art of poison, and he didn't even need to show up, he just needed to listen to the symptoms to figure out what kind of poison he was suffering from and what medicine to use.

"Then what is the purpose of the old lady looking for my son-in-law today?" Yi Zhuoming held it carefully, fearing that he might accidentally offend this dignified ex-mother-in-law.

"It's okay, I'm just passing by, come in and sit down and ask about the Ghost Festival. I'm a pure person, and I'm not used to being listened to by the servants, so I just kicked them out, I'm afraid I'll startle you." ?”

"Where is the old lady, if you can come to the door in person, my son-in-law will not be happy in time. You should do whatever you say." Yi Zhuoming said twice in his heart, making it clear that he came on something, but he didn't know why he changed his mind temporarily It's okay, it's better to leave as soon as possible, and don't make any troubles again in a while.

Yi Zhuoming is an old jerk in the officialdom, how can he not see the different attitudes of the emperor and the empress dowager mother and son towards the Tai family, but speaking of infidelity, between the empress dowager and the emperor, the empress dowager is stronger and more dignified Therefore, after Yi Bai died, Yi Zhuoming never went to Tai's house again, and even wanted to draw a line between the two families.

Mrs. Tai gave a coping "um", stood up, said goodbye and left with the people.

When Yi Zhou came to look for Yi Zhuoming, he happened to see Mrs. Tai's back, guessed who was coming, and was a little puzzled, "Father, why did Mrs. Tai's family come here? Could it be that there is something important?"

Yi Zhuoming lied directly with his eyes open, "It's nothing, I saw her passing by, so I stayed here for a sip of tea and asked about Concubine Wan's condition."

"Oh!" Yi Zhou pursed his lips in a lack of interest, he even forgot what to do with Yi Zhuoming, and turned to leave.

"Ah Zhou." Yi Zhuoming called him.

"Dad, is there anything else?"

"You said you are old enough, why don't you want to marry your fiancée?" Yi Zhuoming frowned, "Didn't your mother tell you last time? Didn't you listen?"

Yi Zhou raised his head, "Father, brother just left for a while, please let me take it easy."

Yi Zhuoming snorted softly, "It's been almost half a year and you haven't recovered yet. Are you really honoring your elder brother, or are you looking for an excuse to shirk? Don't let the girl wait too long."

Yi Zhou rolled his eyes, "It's mine, even if you wait for a lifetime, it's still mine, it's not mine, she can fly when she reaches her mouth."

"You brat!" Yi Zhuoming slapped him directly, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

"That's what it is!" Yi Zhou rubbed his head in pain, "If she wants to follow me, then she will continue to wait, if she doesn't want to follow, just call off the engagement."

"You!" Yi Zhuoming was so angry that his old face was blackened, how could he raise such a notorious bastard son!
Yi Zhou would not give him the opportunity to continue to teach him a lesson, so he ran away in a hurry.

Passing by the most famous dim sum shop in the imperial capital, Mrs. Tai asked the driver to stop, and was about to send the nanny to buy some of her favorite dim sum. When she opened the curtain of the car, she saw a person walking out of the tea house next to the dim sum shop. She was wearing a bamboo hat, and the weft yarn covered her face, but she could recognize it at a glance, this person was Yi Bai.

This is really like someone handing you a pillow when you want to sleep. Mrs. Tai was overjoyed, and after giving instructions to her personal nurse, she raised the curtain and came down to stop the person, "Can you take a step to talk, Your Excellency?"

The person under the bamboo hat was indeed Yi Bai, he pursed his lips when he heard that, "Please, old lady."

Hearing the familiar voice, the old lady's high-hanging heart dropped a bit, and the two came to a secluded alley. Yi Bai didn't take off the bamboo hat, and asked directly: "Why is the old lady looking for me?"

Hearing that Yi Bai was deliberately alienated because he didn't help him, Madam Tai sighed inwardly, "I want to ask you to do me a favor."
