Chapter 137 Heart Disease
If the emperor's relatives by marriage become powerful, he will have endless troubles.
If you offend the Empress Dowager, you will have to be protected by the Emperor.
In the past, the original owner was very much loved by the Queen Mother and often entered the palace to accompany her. The Jiang family had close contacts with the Queen Mother's faction.
"Take this opportunity to show your loyalty to the Emperor and cut off contact with the Queen Mother."
This move would certainly offend the Queen Mother, but it was also a good opportunity to gain fame and stand on Jiang Fulu's side.
If you want to maintain your position, being a fence-sitter is not the way to go.
A fence-sitter cannot gain the advantage from either side.
"This world belongs to the emperor, the Xiao family, and has nothing to do with the Xuan family."
Xuan Yao came to Beijing, and the Queen Mother put pressure on the Emperor.
As long as Xiao She was not a puppet, it would be impossible for him to make Xuan Yao the queen.
Jiang Yuzhu said a few words, and the maids understood.
Hongli scratched her handkerchief and said innocently, "From what the emperor said, he wants to give the credit for redressing the Su family to me, but he doesn't want to give it to others."
No wonder the emperor sent the three young ladies of the Su family to the Xie Mansion. He had this plan from the very beginning.
Hongli finally figured out the key.
Jiang Yuzhu pinched Hongli's face and said, "You are such a sincere girl, you always tell the truth!"
That’s right, Jiang Yuzhu stole the credit from Xie Zhao.
Everyone is equal in the face of opportunities, but Xie Zhao happened to have to go out for something urgent. How can you blame her?
"Don't bother the master recently. He has been poisoned."
Xie Zhao urgently needed to be detoxified. Jiang Yuzhu was trying to help her husband and didn't want Xie Zhao to work too hard.
If things deviate from what is written in the book and Xie Zhao dies, before that, the Jiang family must firmly rely on the emperor and find the biggest backer first.
Jiang Yuzhu's move was also a precautionary measure.
Hongli accepted it quickly, nodded like a chick pecking at rice, and said, "Madam, you worry too much!"
There are so many trivial matters in the Xie Mansion. Recently, everyone has been busy arranging Shen Zhilan's marriage, and Jiang Yuzhu has contributed a lot.
As Jiang Yuzhu had just left the house, Han Zhen's servant brought her a note with a message.
"The news from the palace is that the emperor wanted to visit the Jiang residence, but was temporarily stopped, so Princess Yutan went first."
Hong Jin threw the note into the oil lampshade and watched it burn to ashes.
Jiang Yuzhu closed her eyes and said calmly, "Let's go back quickly. This is a serious matter. It's a good opportunity to discuss it with Dad."
Regarding rehabilitating the Su family, it is just Jiang Yuzhu's personal opinion.
The older you get, the wiser it gets. In the end, the decision was left to father Jiang Fulu.
At this time, in the Queen Mother's bedroom.
Xuan Yao was standing behind the Queen Mother, helping her to relax her muscles and bones, and saying a few funny words from time to time.
The Queen Mother squinted her eyes and enjoyed it. After a long while, she asked, "Do you have something to ask me?"
"Nothing can be hidden from you, old man!"
Xuan Yao was taught that she should show intimacy to the Queen Mother and should not hide even the slightest thought.
Xuan Yao winked at the maid, and the trusted maid talked about the conflict that occurred during the Hundred Flowers Festival: "The young lady sent someone to inquire, and the two maids were Shuxiang and Moyun, who were by the side of the daughter of the Prime Minister of Wei."
The Queen Mother's expression turned colder: "Yao'er, were you slapped?"
Xuan Yao hesitated and said, "Yes, but...she didn't take advantage of me."
He was beaten as soon as he arrived in Beijing, which brought shame to the Xuan family.
But that group of people were wearing masks, and there were so many people last night that finding them was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Xuan Yao met a couple with dog-head masks performing fire-swallowing acrobatics and wanted to capture them to entertain the Queen Mother. However, her men were stupid and ended up capturing Mo Qianyu and Shen Zhilan, causing a huge mess.
"Wei Jing was replaced by the Lin family's daughter as Lady Baihua. She is here to take revenge on me and slap me in the face!"
The empress dowager was furious that her family was bullied. She stood up and smashed a vase, but that was not enough. She also swept all the teacups on the table to the ground.
In an instant, the porcelain shattered into pieces and the hot tea splashed.
Xuan Yao hid the viciousness in her eyes, knelt down and said: "Queen Mother, I said the wrong thing!"
"stand up."
The Queen Mother always felt that there was something strange about this. The Wei family acted cautiously, so how dare they contradict them like this?
Thinking of what Xuan Yao said, that group of people were wearing masks and the other party accidentally blurted out the maid's name, the empress dowager followed the clues and thought she had found the right person.
"Yao'er, the selection is coming up soon, you should stay in the palace recently to avoid getting into trouble."
The Queen Mother rubbed her brows and sent Xuan Yao away.
The Queen Mother was furious, and the maid quietly cleaned up the mess.
Beatrice stepped forward and rubbed the Queen Mother's legs.
A few days ago, the palace maid Bicui received a task assigned by her master. She tried to persuade the Queen Mother to grant Wei Jing a marriage and arrange for her to marry Feng Qing, the new number one scholar.
Originally, Bitui was a little embarrassed, but who knew that Xuan Yao helped her a lot!
"Queen Mother, in the past six months or so, Miss Wei has caused a lot of trouble."
Wei Jing was granted marriage with Jia Xinglin, but Jia Xinglin died.
Right now, Wei Jing is a hot potato.
"You intend to marry Miss Wei to General Mo, and even General Mo is trying to avoid it. The wedding is scheduled for the tenth day of July."
The Mo family has a clear attitude and would rather disobey the order than marry Wei Jing.
Moreover, before the Chinese Valentine's Day, news came out that Wei Jing had lost her reputation. It was most likely the Mo family was behind this.
There was deathly silence in the bedroom.
The Queen Mother said nothing. Beatui's heart skipped a beat and she was thinking of how to make amends.
The Queen Mother was not easy to fool, so Bitui worked for her and had to be very cautious as if treading on thin ice. She finally became the Queen Mother's confidant.
Once exposed, don't expect the Queen Mother to have any regard for their old friendship, because Bitui will surely die.
After a long time, just when Bit Cui thought the Queen Mother had fallen asleep, a low voice came: "Bit Cui, who do you think is the right family for Wei Jing to marry into?"
Wei Jing's reputation was as bad as a stinking ditch, and the Queen Mother was in a dilemma.
"Why not grant her marriage to Feng Zhuangyuan?"
Feng Qing had a decent family background, and his appearance and knowledge were obvious to all.
"I heard that Miss Wei has a good relationship with Feng Shuang, the younger sister of Feng Zhuangyuan. I believe that after she marries into the Feng family, the sisters-in-law will get along well."
The opportunity was right in front of her. Beatrice endured for a moment and finally spoke out.
The Queen Mother is cruel and ruthless, and she still plays women's tricks, but the master is different. Only the master is worthy of sitting on the supreme throne!
After Beatrice finished speaking, a creepy laugh was heard.
"Okay, then I will give Wei Jing to Feng Qing, so that I can teach Prime Minister Wei a lesson!"
The Empress Dowager wrote down the imperial edict and stamped it with the imperial seal, and everything was settled.
Here, Jiang Yuzhu had just stepped into the gate of Jiang Mansion when the news of the granted marriage arrived.
"The Queen Mother has granted marriage to Wei Jing and Feng Qing. They are a match made in heaven."
Jiang Yuzhu didn't look happy. She had no interest in who Wei Jing married.
Walking quickly into the main courtyard, Jiang Fulu was gnawing on a chicken leg. When he saw his daughter coming, he immediately smiled and said, "Yuzhu, didn't Daddy send someone to deliver a letter to you? It's okay, I'm fine!"
Chen said helplessly, "After noon, the emperor said he would come to visit the patient. Your father hadn't eaten for a day, so he wanted to go hungry for two meals to pretend he was listless. But the emperor didn't come, and now your father couldn't stand the hunger anymore."
Jiang Fulu's face was rosy and he looked full of energy and vitality. He didn't look like he was sick at all.
"Humph, the emperor gave Yuanhe three daughters in one go. This shows that he doesn't take my Jiang family seriously!"
Jiang Fulu was very angry and expressed strong protest. When he claimed to be ill, only one person was left on duty in the Ministry of Personnel.
The emperor came to visit the patient in name only, but in fact he was testing him.
Chen took out a bronze mirror and handed it over: "Master, look at yourself in the mirror. Who would believe that you are sick?"
Jiang Fulu put down the chicken leg and glared in defense: "Who said that being sick means looking haggard? Master, I am suffering from a mental illness!"
Like an apple, smooth and shiny on the outside, but rotten on the inside.
Jiang Fulu covered his chest and said sadly: "Master, I am hurt by the emperor!"
