Chapter 446 8 Trigrams Instinct
No one told Queen Mother Mo about what happened when the Supreme Lord came.
Therefore, she continued to torture her daughter-in-law and concubines according to her old habit, and no one reminded her to restrain herself a little.
It’s just a pity that Wang Xifeng is not afraid of her torture at all.
He bowed with a smile, and without waiting for Queen Mother Mo to call him, he stood up, took a few steps forward, sat on the stool beside the bed, and whispered the purpose of his visit:
“The Emperor knows that the Empress Dowager doesn’t like Concubine Zhen, and he himself doesn’t want to give face to such a person, so he sent me here.
"First, I am waiting for your orders and helping the Empress Dowager with the funeral affairs. Second, I want you to know everything about Concubine Zhen in the capital."
When Queen Mother Mo heard this, she immediately became interested and didn't care about her intention to control Wang Xifeng.
After all, she knew her own body. After waking up and taking a bath this time, she was afraid that she would not be able to last another quarter of an hour before falling asleep again.
So it’s better to listen to the important things.
She hurriedly ordered Wang Xifeng, "The Majesty is worried about my illness and won't tell me the details. Since you know the whole story, tell me everything! The more detailed the better!"
Wang Xifeng curled the corners of her mouth subtly, and then she eloquently and vividly described the story of Concubine Zhen and the Nan family from gratitude to resentment to hatred, picking out and recounting it in detail.
It took nearly half an hour to finish this.
Wang Xifeng felt like her throat was smoking!
Lingbai quietly brought up the warm drink, and Wang Xifeng drank half of it in one breath.
Queen Mother Mo was fascinated by what she heard, and after a long while she let out a long sigh, "This palace and Zhen have been fighting for more than ten years.
"But I didn't know she had such a tortuous experience, and was used so thoroughly by her family and friends..."
After a long silence, he looked at Wang Xifeng kindly, “I know that the emperor doesn’t like the Zhen family and Jiangnan Shixun.
"What you don't like is Zhen herself.
"Now I ask you to take care of her funeral, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you."
Wang Xifeng was flattered, and she stood up and bowed, saying, "I don't deserve it.
"It is just an errand assigned to me by Your Majesty.
"I have Concubine Xu in charge above me, and the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Internal Affairs below me. I am just talking and running errands. I won't get tired or hurt. It's not a problem!"
Just an errand.
Queen Mother Mo was more and more satisfied with this statement, and she laughed: "Since you are so open-minded, there is no need for me to enlighten you."
After saying this, he suddenly realized that he wanted to call her in to embarrass her, but he seemed a little embarrassed to turn hostile now after speaking so kindly before -
Empress Dowager Mo thought about it and found an excuse to ask her, "I have always wanted to ask the emperor why he didn't allow Prince Su to return to the capital?
"What's more, it's a national mourning now!
"He is sitting comfortably as the emperor. He doesn't need to be filial to his parents, nor does he need to take care of his brothers and sisters. Is it really so good to be alone?!"
They arbitrarily accused Emperor Chongzhao of being unfilial and unfraternal.
However, Prince Su has been dealt with.
It is obvious that the Empress Dowager is also terminally ill and can never go to the capital again.
Wang Xifeng was in a good mood and no longer cared about the petty verbal dispute with her. She stood meekly and tried to persuade the empress dowager to calm down:
"I don't know much about Prince Su's affairs. But I heard from the Grand Master that he is on his way back now.
"Your Majesty, please don't be angry. Take your medicine on time and take good care of yourself. Maybe in two or three days, you will be able to see Prince Su."
Mo Taihou showed a happy expression on her face, and immediately she felt refreshed. Just as she was about to talk to her confidant, Nanny Hai, she turned around and saw that the people standing beside her bed were all unfamiliar faces except Lingbai and one or two palace maids.
His face darkened again, and he looked at Wang Xifeng suspiciously: "When did you come?"
"To answer your Majesty, today is my fourth day here." Wang Xifeng said with a smile, "I came here a few days ago, but unfortunately you were busy and didn't let me in."
Queen Mother Mo was stunned.
Busy?
You've been in a coma the whole time, what are you busy with?
Because he looked at Lingbai, he saw Lingbai winking at him, and he understood immediately: Lingbai didn't want Wang to know that he was weak, so he used the excuse that he was busy...
Well, I should cover up a little bit, so that Wang won’t think that I won’t live for long and will act arrogantly in front of me!
He nodded seriously and said, "Although I am not very busy, I know that you have serious work to do."
After a pause, he probed Wang Xifeng again, "Did you see Madam Hai when you came back these few times?"
"No. It was Lingbai who always answered me." Wang Xifeng directly removed herself from the incident of "the disappearance of the servants in Anshan Hall."
Empress Dowager Mo's expression was obviously unhappy. She no longer had the energy to compete with Wang Xifeng and waved her hand to let her leave:
"The funeral of a concubine is not easy either. It is very complicated. You can go and do your thing.
“I don’t need you to come here every day.
"Just remember, when the Emperor chooses a posthumous title for Zhen, don't give her too much face!"
Wang Xifeng smiled and replied, "Yes. I will remember the Queen Mother's teachings!"
Then, get out of here safely.
Lingbai followed and sent it out.
When they got outside the palace, Lingbai bowed to Wang Xifeng in a serious manner and said, "Thank you, Imperial Concubine. It is because of your encouragement that I was able to persuade the Empress Dowager to take a bath and change her clothes.
“The imperial physician has long said that the palace needs to be cleansed for the Empress Dowager to get better, but no matter how this servant persuades her, it only makes the Empress Dowager furious.
"Previously, Madam Hai..."
Wang Xifeng smiled and patted her: "Do your job well. A careful and clever child like you will have a bright future!"
Lingbai looked at her with surprise and smiled: "Your Highness, please accept my accord!"
Wang Xifeng left Anshan Hall.
Queen Mother Mo grabbed Lingbai and asked sternly, "You are not going to make excuses anymore, are you? Tell me now! Where did you take Matron Hai?"
Lingbai fell to her knees with a thud and cried loudly: "I am just a little palace maid, how can I do anything to Madam Hai? She has always been the one who beats us with a cane!"
"Yes, you little bitch, even if you want to, you don't have the ability to bully my trusted nanny."
Queen Mother Mo's face turned pale for no apparent reason, and she clutched the quilt on the bed tightly with both hands. She gritted her teeth and whispered:
“Tell me the truth, who did Hai offend?
"Or is it that someone wants to investigate me, so they arrested Hai?
“Is it Tai Shang?
"Or Concubine Fu?
"Quan family? Xu family?!"
Lingbai fell to the ground with both hands, kowtowed and cried, "My lady, it is useless for you to force me!
“I really don’t know!
"I only knew that when I woke up, a eunuch informed me that Madam Hai had taken a few old people from the palace to do an important errand and would not be back for a while.
"But what exactly is this errand? How dare I ask!"
Queen Mother Mo pondered for a long time before muttering to herself, "Could it be that the Supreme Lord wants Matron Hai to serve someone...
"It can't be Prince Su..."
While she was lost in thought, Lingbai had already signaled with a wink, and the palace maids quietly lit the benzoin.
Queen Mother Mo yawned: "Forget it, I am already very tired after being able to hold on until now..."
