Chapter 35: The Empress Dowager Disrupts the Situation

When Shangguan Wanwan came in to reply, Mo Xi and Eryu were looking at an embroidery pattern. Eryu wisely withdrew and stayed outside to prevent others from coming in to disturb her. She was used to Shangguan Wanwan and Mo

Xi Xiaozhu’s private whisper.

Mo Xi put down her tricks and asked her, "Has the news been released?"

Shangguan Wanwan nodded: "It has already spread, and it will spread throughout the palace in a few days."

"Have you given any clues?" This was the first time that Mo Xi had left something to Shangguan Wanwan to do. Although he knew that she was thoughtful, he still asked more questions.

"No, I am very careful. The news must have spread by now." Shangguan Wanwan looked very confident.

Mo Xi nodded, continued to turn over the pattern of hundreds of birds facing the phoenix in his hand, picked up the needle and thread and began to embroider. Shangguan Wanwan couldn't help but laugh after looking at the pattern.

There was a lot of private discussion in the palace about the lameness of Ruyu's right leg. They only said that she was shameless and shameless. Even after being grounded, she still chased the emperor's dragon chariot. Not only did she not know how to change her ways, she also wanted to cling to Long En. She deserved to have her leg broken.

But when another rumor came out, people's attention shifted from Ruyu to the queen. Although they did not dare to say it blatantly, there were many women with long tongues in this palace. Also, they had nothing to do all day long and could only

Spread those gossips everywhere with added flavor.

"The queen is so cruel. Yu Chang was grounded and even had to break her legs!"

"The queen must be jealous because she doesn't see Yu Chang dancing gracefully."

"What can't be done in this palace to win favor? If Yu Chang offends the queen, he will never have a good life in the future."

Yu Chang Zai changed from the disgraced Chang Zai who was despised by everyone and shameless, to a pitiful person who was framed by the Queen and killed him. The Queen was so angry that she threw several porcelain bottles in the palace and ordered that no one be allowed to leave.

The matter was discussed privately. But the less people talked about it, the more curious people became, and the more rumors spread.

That day, Mo Xi put on the newly embroidered Birds and Phoenix handkerchief, and took Eryu and Aunt Wan to the Queen's Palace to pay her respects.

"What are you doing here?" The queen's enjoyment was obviously not good, but in the past she would have issued an eviction order, and now she can still talk to Mo Xi, which is a big improvement.

"I know that the Queen has been disturbed by some unfounded rumors recently, so I brought some gadgets to distract the Queen." Mo Xi smiled and presented the red satin embroidery of hundreds of birds facing the phoenix, with the phoenix on it looking up to the sky.

The phoenix neighs, its feathers are outlined with gold threads, it is very luxurious, and the phoenix is ​​surrounded by birds coming to worship, making the phoenix even more majestic and unstoppable.

The queen really liked it after seeing it, took the veil and said: "You are sensible and know that those words are unfounded."

"Thank you for your compliments, your Majesty. Your Majesty is gentle and kind. Naturally, she would not do such a thing." Mo Xi replied.

"Humph, I don't know who is this reckless person who dares to slander this palace!" the queen said angrily.

"Why don't you conduct a thorough investigation? There is always a source for rumors. If you don't punish that person, wouldn't it damage your reputation?" Mo Xi asked curiously.

"Ignorant thing, this harem is so big, how can it be found out in a short time?" The queen looked down on Mo Xi from the bottom of her heart. She had treated her like that, but she could still cling to her with a proud face.

"Your Majesty, I am wise. I heard something a few days ago, but I don't know whether to talk about it or not?" Mo Xi looked troubled and hesitated to speak.

"Tell me about it." The queen was indeed interested and looked at Mo Xi to let her continue.

"I heard that the little eunuch who sold fish on his legs that day seems to be from the Ministry of Internal Affairs." Mo Xi spoke very slowly, as if he was extremely unsure.

The Queen stood up as soon as she slapped the table and asked anxiously: "Is this serious?"

"Replying to your Majesty, I just heard about it and didn't dare to take it seriously!" Mo Xi quickly denied it, and then said: "But since the young eunuch is from the House of Internal Affairs, I might be able to ask the people of the House of Internal Affairs to take care of those little eunuchs.

Hand over the eunuch. After all, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is Yue Bin’s father, so I can ask Yue Bin to help with the investigation.”

"How dare you frame me up, such a cheap servant!" the queen said through gritted teeth.

The queen was disturbed by these rumors. As long as Mo Xi pulled her a little, the queen would follow her direction. Mo Xi didn't know whether Yue Bin was innocent or not. But she lived in the same palace as Ruyu.

Without showing the slightest care or greeting to Ruyu, it can be seen that she is a heartless and unjust person, and not a kind person.

As expected, not long after, the Queen asked Yue Concubine to help find those eunuchs. However, Yue Concubine was already dissatisfied with the Queen, saying that it was Yu Changzai who was scolded by the Emperor without knowing what was going on. How could someone else do it?

At this time, it was also reported that the concubine Yue said many disrespectful words to the queen in her own palace, and even mixed with words such as "I just want you to bear this crime for me." The matter became more and more serious, and later it gradually turned out that

It evolved into the moon concubine killing the fish nobleman and blaming the queen.

Before Mo Xi came back from the Queen's place, she said she was feeling unwell and stopped seeing any visitors. She only stayed in the side hall of Chuxiu Palace every day. Her original intention was just to put the Queen and Yue Concubine at odds and cause some trouble, but she didn't expect it.

Things were getting bigger and bigger, but bigger was better. The queen couldn't swallow her frustration. Yue Bin held great power in the family, and the emperor still had some old favors for her, so he didn't take the queen's words too seriously.

Until the matter came to the attention of the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother didn't say much, she just said that Yu Chang was the one who asked for trouble, and it had nothing to do with the Queen or the Moon Concubine. The broken leg was just the Emperor's punishment for her lack of propriety. She then allowed the Queen and the Moon Concubine to put aside their differences.

, lived in harmony, and even lifted Concubine Yue's grounding order in advance. The Queen Mother was obviously helping Concubine Yue.

The queen and the concubine may only think that they are fighting for favor, but the queen mother can see clearly that behind the concubine is Chen Youwen, the director of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The three hundred thousand tax money has been directly controlled and will soon go to Yejing.

.This tax money needs to be sent to the prime minister's office through the hands of Chen Youwen, who is in charge of the treasury. Since Chen Youwen has some minor conflicts, he must not be dissatisfied at this time.

Chen Youwen attaches great importance to his daughter Yue Bin. If Yue Bin suffers from the empress in the harem, Chen Youwen may be dissatisfied and think that it is the prime minister's order to deliberately humiliate him. Then he will need the 300,000 tax dollars again.

It's not that easy to swallow it.

Fortunately, the Queen Mother is someone who has been working hard in the harem for many years, and her eyesight is much more transparent than that of the Queen and the Yue Concubine. This is not a good thing for Mo Xi. Her plan was broken by the Queen Mother. If she can't let the Yue Concubine

Chen Youwen, his father, has a grudge against the Queen Mother and the Prime Minister, and there will be a lot of trouble in Baili Muyun.
