Chapter 171 The Straight Truth

After tidying up the noble concubine, Yun Xi only felt that she was refreshed. After returning to the palace, she felt much happier. As expected, there is a saying that is true, timely venting is good for physical and mental health.

"Your Majesty, the expression on Concubine Li's face just now is so exciting, I can't express it when I'm so embarrassed," Wan Qing said enthusiastically, "But this is her own fault, who asked her to touch the empress's things?"

Yun Xi smiled lightly and said nothing, and waited for the little girl to get over her excitement before she said lightly: "The things haven't been brought back yet, but I think that if she is smart, she will send them back by herself, if she is not smart, you can go and get them back. Bengong doesn't like others taking my things without saying a word."

"Yes."

The master and the servant were chatting and laughing, but saw Jier walking in, and saw her greet her with blessings and said: "The empress."

"Get up." While ordering, Yunxi put up the airs of the mother of a country, although this was a bit difficult for her, "What's the matter?"

"According to the rules in the palace, the empress is going to greet the queen mother tomorrow."

After being reminded by Jier, Yun Xi also remembered it.

She recalled the queen mother, a fierce and resolute woman, and had to say that she was still very afraid, which came from instinct. Although she was a harem woman, her wrist was indeed iron-blooded.

"Okay, I will remember it, and I will definitely go to pay my respects to my mother tomorrow." Yun Xi nodded and said, Ji'er didn't say anything more after hearing that, and stepped back respectfully.

Go to see the Queen Mother... Yunxi sighed inwardly, she is not as easy to deal with as Concubine Li, she has to recharge her energy to deal with it well, after thinking about it, she said to Wan Qing: "Wan Qing, the imperial dining room is not so easy to deal with today. something delicious?"

"..."

Early the next morning, Yun Xi had no choice but to bite the bullet and get rid of her anger, and go to the Queen Mother's Palace to pay her respects.

After going there, I found that her old man was already waiting there, but I didn't know how long she had been waiting.

"My concubine pays respects to the Queen Mother." Yun Xi said respectfully, "I asked the Queen Mother to forgive me for keeping the Queen Mother waiting for so long."

Even though she lowered her head, Yunxi could still feel the empress dowager's shrewd eyes looking up and down at her. Her occupation made her quite sensitive to this.

"Get up." Simply, the Queen Mother didn't mean to blame her, and naturally she didn't ask her to wait for long. She then gestured for a seat and said, "Sit down wherever you want."

Yunxi took a look around and chose a place not too far from the queen mother, so she could not guess what the queen mother was thinking. Not only that, but she also remembered the last time the queen mother warned her.

Don't worry about the emperor's affairs, just be optimistic about Su Ruoqi.

She had been doubting one thing in her heart, how much did the death of Emperor Daxing have to do with this woman in the deep palace.

The Empress Dowager looked at Yunxi and remained silent for a long time. The silence was overwhelming. Before Yunxi could speak, she finally said: "You are a smart child. You are by the emperor's side. Aijia can rest assured."

Yep?Yun Xi was a little confused. Why did she suddenly ask this question? She didn't know how to answer the question, so she could only answer with a smile: "The queen mother favored her concubine."

After a pause, she said again: "Your Majesty, the Emperor has been worrying about the death of the former Emperor, and the concubines have always had a doubt in their hearts."

She saw something flicker in the queen mother's eyes, but she didn't stop her from continuing, so Yun Xi boldly continued: "A eunuch, how dare you dare to use medicine, and that medicine, he And how did you get it?"

She looked at the look in the Empress Dowager's eyes, she was not harsh, but added appreciation, and Yunxi also expressed the last suspicion, which was also a very disrespectful suspicion: "And how did he hide it from the Empress Dowager? Woolen cloth?"

This is a blatant temptation and a blatant doubt. To clear up these doubts, it is easy to say, but difficult to say. After all, it depends on how the Queen Mother moves.

"The Ai family said that you are a smart child." The queen mother turned the prayer beads in her hand, "There is no need to be suspicious anymore. The emperor's death was made by me, and the medicine was also added by me. Others didn't do it at all. Opportunity."

"..."

Yun Xi didn't know what to say now, she thought about how she would defend herself in the future, but she never expected that she would admit it so frankly.

"You..." Yunxi's tongue was tied, and she was almost speechless, but she still forced herself to continue, "Why did you do this? If the emperor knew that her mother killed her biological father, would she How painful?"

"Ha...is it painful?" The queen mother looked at her, her delicate phoenix eyes glowed with a cold light, "so Aijia never planned to let the emperor know."

"Then why do you want to..."

"Why did I tell you, did you?" The Queen Mother interrupted her, calmly making Yun Xi feel uneasy, "Because you are a smart child."

She got up, walked slowly to Yun Xi's side, and said, "Did you know that when the first emperor passed away, the will said that his brother would succeed him, that is, King Wei."

This sentence made Yunxi's eyes widen. It turned out that the will was not for Su Ruoqi to succeed, but for King Wei to ascend the throne. Could it be...

"The Ai family absolutely does not allow this kind of situation to happen." The queen mother said quietly, "If King Wei ascends the throne, what will happen to the Ai family and the emperor now? The Ai family can't guess, and you probably can't guess either."

That's right, Yun Xi didn't dare to say that she guessed that the imperial power was full of bones.

The queen mother was still speaking slowly, as if stating a fact that had nothing to do with her: "So, for the sake of the emperor, Aijia must do this. You are also a woman, and you should be able to understand the painstaking efforts of a mother."

To be honest, she understood, but Yunxi felt that this woman was terrifying. She killed her husband, but now she is so calm, it's... unbelievable.

Just as she was thinking, the queen mother had already sat back in her seat: "Now that you know the truth, what should you do next? Tell the emperor the truth?"

"..." Faced with such a question, Yun Xi couldn't answer.

The Empress Dowager laughed lightly, which made Yunxi feel chills all over her body: "So, the Empress should not tell the Emperor about this, and let it slowly corrode under the throne without anyone knowing."

After hesitating for a moment, Yunxi finally frowned and nodded in response. She didn't want this to hurt Su Ruoqi, and what happened to Mo Xue had already made him very sad.

"Sure enough, he is the one Aijia likes." The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction, "Queen, remember, from now on, you and Aijia are on the same road."

Is it the same way?
Regarding this conclusion, Yun Xi did not agree with it in her heart. She did this not for the Queen Mother, but for Su Ruoqi.
