Chapter 782 Meeting the Emperor
The Empress Dowager entered the hall angrily, and saw a figure sitting fixedly behind the bamboo curtain of Concubine Xiang, she opened the curtain and went in, without saluting, she just asked angrily: "Empress Dowager, the Ai family doesn't understand why you are so angry When you return to the palace, you have to work so hard to get the emperor to kneel outside while sick and refuse to meet you. The emperor honors you because of the benevolence and filial piety taught by Emperor Hui. You should not stick your nose on your face and hold a chicken feather as an arrow."
An imperial edict was thrown on the ground, right at the feet of the Empress Dowager.
The empress dowager just glanced at it, and then she was about to explode, "Abolish Aijia? Why do you abolish Aijia?"
This is the imperial edict of the abolished empress dowager, and it was unfolded at the empress dowager's feet so sharply.
"Based on..." The empress dowager sitting on the grand teacher's chair didn't even raise her eyes, and said indifferently: "The Ai family is still the empress dowager."
"You can tell me a reason. Why did you abolish Aijia?" She was furious. She had heard of the abolished empress, but she had never heard of the abolished empress dowager.
If it gets out, what will Da Zhou's face be?
"It's because you are not qualified to be the empress dowager." The empress dowager still didn't move a muscle, and didn't even look her in the eye.
The empress dowager sneered, "Do you think that the empress dowager Aijia is the one who abolishes you as soon as you say so?"
"Huh?" The Empress Dowager raised her eyes slightly in surprise, "Then you say, if the Ai family can't abolish you, who can abolish you?"
Seeing her stern expression, the empress dowager faintly felt that this old woman was not as simple as she imagined.
She is not threatening her, but really wants to abolish the empress dowager.
But, no, she is ready to fight her, how can she be abolished before she is finished?
"You can't do this, you can't destroy Aijia, Aijia didn't do anything wrong?" She turned pale, she didn't know how to explain, she just felt that the anger and panic in her heart were slowly seeping into her bones, she couldn't fall .
Her prestige has already been displayed.
The Empress Dowager looked at her coldly, "You are still living in the Yanxi Palace, and you are still like your Concubine Xi. In the future, concubines and wives do not have to enter the palace to pay their respects. In terms of expenses, you will still be paid according to the Empress Dowager's expenses." you."
"You should tell me the reason, otherwise, I'll bump my head to death here." The Empress Dowager said harshly.
She is not short of those expenses, these years, she has never had to worry about eating and drinking, it must be the best portion in the palace.
She didn't remember that she was here to inquire about her crimes, and this edict to abolish the Queen Mother disrupted her entire position.
"A Snake, take her away!" The Empress Dowager lowered her eyes, her face already bored, and she didn't want to talk nonsense with her.
Aunt Snake winked, and saw two green-clothed women walking out from nowhere, stepped forward to grab her and dragged her away.
The empress dowager was unable to utter a word after being touched by the two people, and even found it difficult to breathe, as if the two were pinching her trachea.
The people outside the palace saw the empress dowager being dragged out, and they didn't know what happened. They just felt shocked. Even someone as difficult as the empress dowager was thrown out without saying a word. What did the empress dowager want? do what?
On the contrary, the emperor's expression changed, but remained as usual.
In the hall, Aunt A Snake served tea to the Empress Dowager, "It doesn't matter if she is abandoned or not, why bother?"
What Aunt Snake meant was that there was no need to make such a fuss, she wasted her breath after working so hard, let her die.
"In this life, although she was unruly and arrogant, she made no serious mistakes. There is no need to accompany her life." The Empress Dowager said flatly.
"Who can stop her if she dies?" Aunt Snake has always been cold-hearted, and she never cares about the life or death of people unless she cares about them.
The Empress Dowager's face was stained with sullenness, "Does the Ai family want to take care of it? After all, they are also married into the Murong family."
"There is a member of the Murong family kneeling outside, do you see it?" Aunt A Snake was not moved by her annoyance at all, but said coldly.
What she hates the most in her life is the imperial palace, where there is no day and night struggle, where can she travel freely?
"Let him kneel first!" The Empress Dowager was also very upset, she raised her head and asked, "Is there any whereabouts of Lao Qi?"
"Snakes have been sent out... People are looking for them, but there is no news yet."
"Look again!" The Empress Dowager took a sip of tea, her expression became more and more gloomy, "Also, tell Zian to come back from Hanshan."
"What are you going to do?" Aunt A Snake asked, she was also very depressed, why did the seventh child disappear? Although I came back a bit late, but I was looking for an injured person. It is reasonable to find it by following the smell of blood, but there is no news.
"Isn't the emperor going to treat his illness?" The Empress Dowager stood up with an impatient expression, "It is impossible for the Ai family to save him, but the Ai family will tell Zi'an how to treat his illness."
"Isn't that the same as intervention?" Aunt Snake thought it was an opportunistic thing.
"It is impossible for people in the world to accept their own fate calmly. His lifespan should have ended, and he forced Sun Fang'er to use evil methods to continue his life. The current mess is caused by greed for life and fear of death. However, how long can this forced reverse change last?" Either died of illness or other reasons, after all, he couldn’t stay. It’s just that he was pulled up by the Ai family that day, and he couldn’t bear to make him continue to make big mistakes. If he is still like this after this time, then it’s nothing That's easy to say."
Others may not be able to understand what the Empress Dowager said, but Aunt Snake knew it.
The Empress Dowager thought for a while, then said worriedly: "Forget it, let him come in."
Two palace servants helped the emperor in. The emperor wanted to kneel down. The empress dowager glanced at him and said, "Isn't kneeling enough outside? Sit down."
But the emperor knelt straight down, weeping bitterly, "Old Ancestor, I was wrong."
He knelt down and hugged the Empress Dowager's leg, crying so sadly and wronged, as if he was not the one who did wrong, but the one who was wronged and hurt.
The Empress Dowager closed her eyes, and her face was a little mournful, why did she become like this? The Murong family has been living in harmony since Huizu's day, and such incidents of brother-in-law killing rarely occur.
Now, see what it looks like now?
No elder brother looks like an older brother, and no father or mother looks like a parent. The relationship between relatives is full of calculations and poison. Why?
She sighed heavily, and stretched out her hand to stroke his head, "Get up, Aijia will tell you something from the bottom of my heart."
The emperor cried so hard that he didn't want to get up, he just hugged her leg and cried hard, his tears and snot wiped the hem of her skirt.
Seeing that the empress dowager could not stop persuading him, she said angrily, "That's enough, get up for Aijia, look at you now, how can you still look like an emperor?"
Hearing that she was angry, the emperor moved away shyly, sobbing, "Yes!"
Aunt A She helped him to sit, sent the palace servants out, and asked the concubines outside to go back, then closed the palace door, and she stood outside.
