Chapter 336 Who is eavesdropping?
The Queen tightened her hands beneath her phoenix robe.
She lowered her eyes and looked at the bright yellow color on her body, which was her favorite color.
According to the old Fengzhao system, the emperor wore bright yellow and the empress wore a bright red phoenix robe, but red was not as alluring as bright yellow.
After she came to power, she changed the queen's phoenix robe to bright yellow.
Stroking the phoenix on her phoenix robe, she raised her eyes slightly, anger in her eyes, and asked Wang Gangzheng, "Then what should we do according to what Lord Wang said?"
She did not like the Wei envoys challenging her authority in this way, but some things could not be rushed. She was best at taking things slowly, and naturally she would remember some grudges.
"The old lady does need to be saved, and the imperial edict can be posted, but can we allow the doctors of the Great Wei to participate in the treatment?"
Wang Gangzheng said calmly, "Your Majesty has compassion for the princess and has assigned several doctors with extraordinary medical skills from the Great Wei to accompany her. They will do their best to treat the old lady and prove the princess' innocence.
As for the reward, I admire your majesty's kindness, but can you let the Marquis of Zhenbei pay for it? After all, it is their old lady who was saved.
If our Great Wei doctor is lucky enough to cure this poison, we can refuse the reward, but the Marquis of Zhenbei must apologize to my princess with a bang of drums and gongs..."
Before he could finish his words, Liang Yongan interrupted him, "Then who knows, did you, Da Wei, poison yourself and then take the opportunity to detoxify yourself?"
He had no problem paying the money. As the Queen had said before, it would come from the Queen's private treasury, but in the end it was the Marquis of Zhenbei's Mansion that paid for it.
After all, some things are just for show.
But if the doctors from Dawei were to get involved, how could they seize the opportunity to give their mother the antidote? Even if they used other doctors, I'm afraid they would investigate thoroughly.
Now he was in a difficult situation and he started to speak without thinking when he was anxious.
"Look at the way Zhenbei Hou looks, it doesn't seem to be a big deal, it seems that detoxification is not the top priority."
Wang Gangzheng smiled suddenly, but seemed to realize that this was impolite, so he restrained his expression and tried his best to suppress the corners of his mouth, "It is really hard for the Queen to take care of such a minister.
The worry of the Marquis of Zhenbei is unnecessary. The case has already been reported to the authorities and is under investigation by the Dali Temple. It is impossible that the Fengzhao Dali Temple will side with the Great Wei. Or are you worried that the Dali Temple will just sit there doing nothing?
"You are so unreasonable." Liang Yongan's neck turned red.
He could hear that the Wei envoy was calling him stupid, but in fact, he regretted what he said as soon as he said it.
Wang Gangzheng said modestly, "Thank you so much! It's all because of His Majesty's wisdom that he has educated us Imperial Censors so well that we are not good at lying."
The Queen, who had been trying to smooth things over again, heard this, but her eyes darkened. "I agree. If the doctor from Wei can cure this poison, the Zhenbei Marquisate will also pay the reward, and an apology is also due."
But she didn't believe that Dawei could cure the poison.
Wang Gangzheng heard this and bowed again, "The Queen is wise. In that case, I will take my leave."
The Queen pinched her palms with her fingernails. If she didn't agree, it would be unwise. And she even compared the Emperor of Wei to herself. How could a fool who was fooled around by his own father be compared with her?
Shi Yu bowed and was about to leave, but was stopped by the queen.
"My Queen Mother wanted to post the imperial edict, not as the Wei envoy said. I just wanted to rescue the person as soon as possible so that I could clear the Crown Princess's name. I don't want you to worry. It's my Queen Mother who is anxious."
She took a deep breath and leaned forward slightly, "But don't worry, the Queen Mother won't let anyone bully you."
"Your Majesty, do you believe the Crown Princess?" Shi Yu paused and turned around.
The Queen smiled lovingly, "I believe you, and if you believe her, I will believe her too. However, this is indeed a coincidence.
Could you please tell my mother what you are doing at Zhuangzi? She will have a plan for you.
"I was entrusted by Liang Fuzhu."
"Are there really ghosts in this world?" The queen was horrified, but seemed to remember her own identity and quickly suppressed her frightened expression.
Shi Yu did not answer directly, but just repeated what Liang Fuzhu said about appearing in the dream.
\"In that case, there might be something fishy about Liang Fuzhu's death." The Queen looked a little sad, "My mother will order the governor of Jingzhao to investigate carefully.
It was your aunt's behavior today that surprised your mother. When Liang Fuzhu died before, your mother saw that she had no reaction and thought that their feelings for her were only superficial.
Today she even took out the national seal for Liang Fuzhu, which shows that she is sincere. We were good friends back then, but in recent years, the Queen Mother had to go against her wishes sometimes for the sake of state affairs. But perhaps in her heart, she still has the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother thought, after this matter is settled, we will call your two aunts and have a family gathering. If Qingwu has any misunderstandings about the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother will apologize to her.
This way, she will treat you more sincerely, what do you think?
Shi Yu said, "Everything is subject to the arrangements of the Empress."
But there was a hint of suspicion in my heart.
Is this really the Empress Feng Zhao who is rumored to be very good at governing the country and whose strategy and vision are as great as those of men?
Why does this tone sound so familiar, so much like the concubines in Shi Dehou's harem in the past, who only cared about the small space in the harem, fought openly and secretly all day long, and spoke in a roundabout way with hidden intentions?
Or is he prejudiced against the Queen and overthinking it?
But didn't the Queen's words imply that Qingwu could take out the national seal for Liang Fuzhu, but ignore Qingyan and sow discord between him and Qingwu?
Wasn't that just saying that she could compromise herself to please Qingwu for the sake of her son? And that the previous conflicts between her and Qingwu were all due to Qingwu's willfulness?
Or maybe, Empress Feng Zhao thought he was as gullible as Xiao Zhian?
Or is it that what she said was the truth, but she has experienced too much and has lost her innocence, and always thinks the worst of people?
Shi Yu decided to go back and analyze it with Qing Yan.
Empress Feng Zhao saw that he looked calm and could not tell what emotions he was feeling.
She looked at her son with loving eyes and said tentatively, "You are even better than I imagined. Get used to Feng Zhao as soon as possible and take over my responsibilities sooner, okay?"
Shi Yu didn't say anything polite and replied directly, "Okay."
Queen, “…”
The Queen stiffened for a moment, then quickly regained her composure. "The Crown Princess is probably feeling uneasy right now. You should go back and stay with her soon. Come to the palace more often when you have time. Your mother will gradually let you take charge of government affairs."
Shi Yu said, "As long as you don't do anything wrong, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door. Qingyan won't be uneasy."
Queen, “…”
Wang Gang was still waiting for Shi Yu outside. Seeing that he was not leaving, Liang Yongan did not leave either. As they talked, the two started arguing again.
When Shi Yu arrived, he heard Liang Yongan say, "Don't use these supernatural things as excuses. We Fengzhao people read the books of sages and don't believe in these things. My daughter died many years ago and has been reincarnated. What's with the dream? It's obvious that you are deliberately harming people."
"Wutong County is not the territory of our Great Wei." Wang Gang rolled his eyes at him and was too lazy to argue with this idiot, but this idiot came up to talk to him.
"That strange red line on the coffin, the copper coin sword, don't tell me that it's not a sorcery, or was it done by someone from another country in your Fengzhao?"
What can Liang Yongan say?
If she is Feng Zhaoren, then what he said before would be a slap in the face.
If he says no, wouldn't that make Feng Zhao seem incompetent?
Would the Queen be happy to hear this?
He could only throw his sleeves angrily and walk forward.
The Queen watched the departing figure from the window and said in a deep voice, "Cha, what's going on with that portrait and the headband?"
The female official stepped forward and asked, "Madam, is there really a ghost in that porcelain bottle?"
The queen remained silent.
She had never seen a ghost, but now she felt that ghosts must really exist in the world. She gave the porcelain bottle away to scare Liang Yongan and also to bring some bad luck to Wei Qingyan and the others.
But the next day, Wei Qingyan and others went to the old Zhenbei Marquis's manor, which made her suspect that perhaps Liang Fuzhu's soul was in that porcelain bottle.
Otherwise, how could Liang Fuzhu, who died in the palace, find Wei Qingyan? If Liang Fuzhu hadn't come to him, why would Wei Qingyan bring up what happened many years ago?
This incident also made her realize that Liang Yongan was indeed useless, and his concubine's son was only stupider than him.
"Send a message to the Marquis of Zhenbei. If you don't want the incident to be exposed, tell him to invite Liang Fusu back to the Marquis of Zhenbei's mansion and inherit the title of Marquis of Zhenbei in the future."
"Yes, I'll go right away."
The Queen said, "No hurry, wait until he returns home and then pass on the message."
So as to avoid letting Shi Yu and the others notice.
Since there was no rush to complete the task, the female official helped the empress back to the back hall. Seeing that the empress looked a little tired, she complained, "If the Marquis of Zhenbei had agreed to let Liang Fusu inherit the title earlier, you wouldn't have hit him with that porcelain vase..."
"Who?" The Queen suddenly shouted, interrupting the lady-in-waiting. "Who is there?"
