Chapter 386 The Queen Mother's 'life-saving letter'?
In fact, everyone else, including Mo Yu, was also worried.
As long as Xiao Xiyao hasn't left the swing, they can't be careless.
But as the swing swung higher and higher, Xiao Xiyao's cheerful laughter echoed in the garden.
Many palace servants stopped what they were doing and watched this scene.
Aunt Chen stood next to Su Ziyuan. She was a little worried. "It's still a little dangerous."
Su Ziyuan: "There are so many people around, and the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess also know about it."
Aunt Chen didn't say anything else. She couldn't say that the master was wrong.
But at this moment, a figure suddenly walked past them quickly.
"It's too dangerous, come down quickly!"
Although they didn't react at first, after hearing the familiar voice, Aunt Chen and Su Ziyuan's faces changed at the same time.
His Majesty is here!
It turned out that when Emperor Minghe and Empress Jiang arrived, they told people not to report it specifically.
The two of them were in a very relaxed state this time. When they thought about finally getting rid of the Queen Mother and coming to the East Palace, where they could be with their children and grandchildren and have fun together, they were in a very good mood.
But when he saw the person swinging high on the swing, who was actually holding Xiyao, Ming Hedi felt like his heart was about to stop!
He ran over quickly, and Queen Jiang and Eunuch Shun beside him couldn't catch up at all.
Fortunately, the snow on the road had been cleared, otherwise if Ming Hedi had run like that, he would probably have fallen!
Seeing this scene, Aunt Chen reacted very quickly, "Not good, His Majesty will definitely blame Captain Lin, we must tell the masters immediately!"
Su Ziyuan nodded, "Find someone who can run fast to report back, and you go to the door to greet the queen."
Aunt Chen: “Hey.”
Everyone was in chaos.
A quarter of an hour later, everyone was in the flower hall. Emperor Minghe was holding little Xiyao and sitting in the main seat, while Queen Jiang was sitting next to him.
Lin Moyu stood there with his lips pursed.
Qin Jingyu came over alone, and after seeing this scene, he first laughed and said:
"Father, Mother, you are all here. Did you have enough for breakfast? We may have lunch later. How about we bring some snacks for you to eat first?"
Queen Jiang was about to nod and go down the stairs.
Emperor Minghe said coldly: "No more eating, I'm already full of fear."
"Do you know how high Yaoyao was swinging just now? How scared she must have been? How old is she?"
Thinking of this, he glared at Mo Yu fiercely.
Mo Yu pursed his lips and looked at the ground.
Xiao Xiyao suddenly said happily: "Grandfather, Yaoyao is not afraid, Yaoyao is happy!"
Emperor Minghe choked.
Qin Jingyu immediately picked up a chair and sat down, "Father, this matter has nothing to do with Mo Yu. It's Yaoyao who is interested, and I agreed to let her play."
Little Xiyao nodded in agreement with her father, "Yaoyao likes it!"
Emperor Minghe's expression was indescribable. "But that thing is too dangerous."
Xiao Xiyao tilted her head, "Can't I like it if it's dangerous?"
Emperor Minghe: "You are still young..."
Xiao Xiyao: "Yaoyao is not little anymore, Yaoyao is even older than Tengge'er!"
Emperor Minghe was speechless!
Looking at his father who was at a loss for words after being scolded by his own daughter, Qin Jingyu waved his hand and quickly asked Mo Yu to go down.
He comforted him with his eyes, "Mo Yu, Brother Teng misses you, go and keep him company."
Mo Yu: “Yeah.”
Queen Jiang also stood up and said, "I haven't seen Brother Teng for several days. I'll go with you."
Although they were already familiar faces, Queen Jiang still clearly felt that when she walked next to Mo Yu, the child subconsciously tensed up.
Perhaps apart from Qing Ning, Mo Yu is the most relaxed and natural when he is with Xiyao and Teng Ge'er.
Queen Jiang heard about what happened to the child and felt sorry for him.
I guess His Majesty must have scared him just now...
So, when they walked out side by side towards Tengge's residence,
Queen Jiang said gently: "Mo Yu, His Majesty didn't mean to blame you just now, he was just too worried about Xiao Xiyao."
Mo Yu: “Yeah.”
Queen Jiang: "I know, you must know that there is no danger, so you bring Yaoyao to play. If there is danger, you will definitely not bring her to play, right?"
Mo Yu has been without parents since childhood.
He has no memory of his grandparents and others.
But Queen Jiang was too gentle, and her eyes were very clear, without that dangerous aggression.
Plus, the way she spoke was so gentle and guiding, which made people unconsciously let down their guard.
Mo Yu thought that if his grandmother were still alive, she would probably be such a gentle and patient person.
He nodded heavily, "There's no danger, that's why I took Yaoyao out to play."
Queen Jiang: "That's right. We all care about Yaoyao. Your Majesty does, I do, and you do. We are all Yaoyao's family. In the future, we must all pamper her together."
The gloom on Mo Yu's face disappeared completely, and he nodded confidently, "I will definitely protect Yaoyao."
Queen Jiang smiled lovingly, "That's right."
She first went to see Teng Ge'er with Mo Yu, and then went to see Lin Qingning.
Lin Qingning was still in the dormitory. Although she had been informed that Hedi had been taken away to the study by Qin Jingyu, she was no longer angry.
But I'm still worried.
Mo Yu is still training in the barracks. When he grows up, he will go to the battlefield to make military achievements. He will eventually have to get the recognition of Emperor Minghe.
We must not make Emperor Minghe unhappy at this time.
So when she saw Queen Jiang, Lin Qingning quickly held her hand and said, "Mother, this matter is all my fault for not thinking it through. It has nothing to do with Mo Yu."
"Mo Yu cares about Yaoyao no less than I do."
Queen Jiang patted her hands and said, "Okay, don't worry. Jing Yu has already taken care of this matter. Don't mention it again."
"And Jingyu will also coax His Majesty into doing well, so you don't have to worry."
Lin Qingning felt relieved when she heard her say this.
"Mother, has the Queen Mother been peaceful these days?"
Queen Jiang: "She can't jump around anymore, because the Cining Palace is now full of His Majesty's people. But she seems to have accepted her fate and is just waiting to go to the Royal Temple after the New Year."
"It seems that she won't mess around anymore in the future."
Lin Qingning shook her head. “The Queen Mother doesn’t seem like someone who would give up easily. She’s either going to retreat to advance, or she has some backup plan in the royal temple.”
At the same time, in the study, Qin Jingyu was also talking about this matter with Emperor Ming He.
Emperor Minghe: "I have already sent people to investigate the royal temple, and also have people keep an eye on the Cui family."
The Cui family has been low-key and peaceful over the years. Apart from the recent intention to send their daughter to the palace, they have not done anything else.
However, the Su family had already withdrawn from the court and was still planning a rebellion. Who knows which type the Cui family is?
Just at this moment, the secret guards beside Emperor Minghe arrived.
Emperor Minghe: "Tell me, what's going on at the Royal Temple?"
Secret Guard: "I have found a secret passage leading directly to the outside of the capital. At the same time, I also found a letter in the room where the Queen Mother often lives."
"The letter is not poisonous. Please have a look, Your Majesty."
Eunuch Shun took the letter and handed it to Emperor Minghe.
Emperor Minghe directly unfolded it and let Qin Jingyu who was sitting next to him look at it together.
The father and son's eyes all fell on the letter!
This letter is the "life-saving letter" that True Man Qingyun left for the Queen Mother.
Taoist Qingyun said in the letter that if the Queen Mother was forced into a situation with no way out, she should leave through the secret passage and someone would pick her up.
Emperor Minghe was so angry that he was shaking all over. "The Queen Mother is so good, so good!"
Qin Jingyu picked up the letter and frowned as he read it. "Why do I feel like something is wrong?"
If the Queen Mother was really in a desperate situation, as the daughter of the Cui family and the Queen Mother of the Great Chu, there was no way she could escape.
She is so old, if she really runs away, where can she go?
Also, telling the Queen Mother that there is a secret passage is simply asking them to go to the end of the secret passage to arrest someone, right?
Emperor Minghe also quickly calmed down, "Then True Man Qingyun should be very familiar with the Queen Mother. He should know that a Queen Mother who has completely lost power is of no use to her."
"Could it be that this letter was left for us on purpose?"
"But it has been checked and there is no poison on it."
Qin Jingyu: "I can't figure out the other party's plan for the time being, but it is definitely not to give the Queen Mother a chance to survive."
Emperor Minghe: "Perhaps it is used to confuse us? Jingyu, in your opinion, do we still need to check the end of the secret passage?"
He has made up his mind.
After the New Year, if it is discovered that the Empress Dowager had nothing to do with the death of Empress Yuan, she will not be allowed to go to the royal temple.
Just find a nunnery and let her live out her days in there.
Qin Jingyu: "There must be a trap, but we still have to go. Find a few people who are good at fighting and agile, and then act according to the situation."
Emperor Minghe nodded.
Afterwards, he asked Eunuch Shun to keep the letter, perhaps he could show it to the Queen Mother later.
Perhaps there is some secret code between the Queen Mother and True Man Qingyun.
The father and son talked about business for a while, and then played a few rounds of chess. Then the palace servants came to report that it was time for the New Year's Eve dinner.
In order to take care of Lin Qingning, this New Year’s Eve dinner was held in the main hall in the backyard.
Even little brother Teng was brought here.
The little guy was full and had enough sleep. He was wearing a red coat and looking around with his big eyes.
He doesn't seem to recognize people very well.
Xiao Xiyao said worriedly, "What should I do? My brother seems so stupid."
Brother Teng: “…”
But the next moment, as a responsible sister, Xiao Xiyao said, "It's okay, it's okay. When mom and dad get old, I will take care of you!"
After hearing her childish talk, everyone was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
The whole family sat together and toasted.
Mo Yu toasted Emperor Minghe with a bit of trepidation, but Emperor Minghe smiled heartily and drank it all in one gulp.
"You are too thin, eat more and grow taller and stronger! As a big brother, you have to take good care of Xiao Xiyao and Brother Teng!"
After hearing this, Mo Yu was no longer nervous and his eyes became bright.
"Um!"
Over there, Queen Jiang was holding little Xiyao and picking up some food for her.
Emperor Minghe would come closer from time to time, but because he was drunk, Xiao Xiyao felt a little disgusted and reached out to push his face.
Instead, it made Emperor Minghe burst into laughter.
Qin Jingyu and Lin Qingning looked at each other as they watched this happy scene.
There was a tacit smile in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.
Compared with the happy atmosphere here, Master Qingyun, who was far away in Xiliang and was telling fortunes, suddenly turned pale.
"not good!"
