Chapter 692 An Jiahe's Death (5)

It didn't take long for An Jiahe's matter to stalemate.

The young widow whose husband died knelt in the government office with her two children, crying with snot and tears, and asked the master Qingtian to make the decision.

When she did this, it attracted crowds of onlookers. The Xia clan behind Ting Lan took the opportunity to stir up flames and made the incident known to everyone, which aroused public indignation and demanded that the emperor severely punish the murderer.

In this way, the empress dowager put pressure on the inside, and the courtiers and common people outside were filled with righteous indignation. The emperor faced a double attack, and it was really miserable.

The emperor once thought of killing An Jiahe according to the public opinion, but before he could implement it, the empress dowager forced him to die, asking the emperor to save An Jiahe's life.

The emperor was so forced that he had no choice but to put down the matter temporarily under pressure.

But it can be suppressed for a while, but not for a lifetime. This matter still has to be dealt with after all.

In order to keep the only incense of the An family, the imperial concubine had to come to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to beg again.

Because she knew that the key to this matter was the Queen Mother. As long as the Queen Mother let go and stopped interfering in this matter, the emperor could use his power to suppress all voices and save An Jiahe's life.

When visiting the door for the second time, the queen mother drank tea and chatted with Linglong in the hall again.

Linglong said lightly: "Aunt, are you really going to put An Jiahe to death this time?"

The Empress Dowager said coldly: "The state owns the state law, and the family has family rules. Killing people pays for their lives. It's just and right. It's not that the mourning family refuses to spare him, but that the laws of the Great Zhou do not allow it. It's just..."

She hesitated slightly: "If An Jiahe dies, the An family will be extinct. In this way, the Ai family will really offend the emperor. The Ai family is not afraid of offending the emperor, but you and Xiao Wu will be killed by the emperor." If you vent your anger, the Empress Dowager will retaliate crazily and make things difficult for you even more, it is easy to hide a hidden arrow, but if she is really desperate, the consequences will be difficult to predict."

Linglong's heart sank when she heard this.

The queen mother turned the white giant clam Buddha beads in her hand, and sighed: "Forget it, keep a line in everything, I really want to see you in the future, no matter how you say, you are also a relative of the emperor's mother clan, the Ai family can't do too much, you can go out later Tell An Shi that it is okay to ask Aijia not to interfere in this matter, as long as she agrees to Aijia's request."

After speaking, the queen mother explained the request in detail.

Linglong nodded, turned around and walked out.

The Compassion Ning Palace is vast and majestic, and the Empress Dowager is kneeling on the gilded brick floor, kowtowing continuously.

When she heard the footsteps, she looked up, with a look of surprise on her tear-stained face: "Why are you here?"

Linglong smiled faintly: "The concubine came here to drink tea and chat with the Queen Mother."

After hearing this, the imperial concubine couldn't help gnashing her teeth angrily: "The Ai family is begging here beggingly, but you are hiding inside and drinking tea and chatting leisurely. You are really a good daughter-in-law of the Ai family!"

Linglong smiled and smiled: "Thank you for your compliment. The concubine is not only your good daughter-in-law, but also the empress dowager's good daughter-in-law. As a daughter-in-law, drinking tea and chatting with her mother-in-law is nothing more than normal. Why is mother unhappy? Huh? How about, my concubine also goes to your Shoukang Palace to have a drink."

"You—" the imperial concubine trembled with anger.

She flicked her sleeves angrily: "No need, the empress has a noble status, there is no good tea to serve at Aijia."

Linglong shook her head: "Mother, why are you bothering? The Queen Mother has already despised you, so it's useless to ask for it."
