Chapter 455 Queen Mother
Not long after Shen Qing woke up, she heard about Xuanyuan Ling's series of actions and the Queen's arrangement of nails in the harem.
"The queen is indeed very calculating." It's not like Shen Qing hasn't thought about it, but even though she was keeping an eye on quite a few people, she really couldn't pay attention to some insignificant servants.
For example, Jinse, who served Lady Qiao, was someone she only found out about afterwards. Once arranged, she would be kept by her side for a few years waiting for the right opportunity. She was really glad that the people around her were arranged by Zhao Hai at Xuanyuan Ling from the very beginning. Their backgrounds had been checked, so at least they were safe.
"That's the case. It's not a big deal now." Chunhua was still very happy.
She was shocked when she knew that the queen intended to kill the mother and keep the son. After all, the queen was there all these years, and now that this happened, it would be better for her safety not to think about Shen Qing's future.
Zhao Hai was busy all day long. If he didn’t have someone to help him, he would not be able to handle it. It was really frustrating.
As a result, in the afternoon, Xuanyuan Ling welcomed the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother has been recuperating well in the past few years since the Queen's words. She also disliked the Queen, but she finally restrained herself. However, this matter has become too big now.
The Emperor is searching the entire palace for evidence of the Queen's crimes. It's obvious that a big move is going to happen. Even if the Queen Mother dislikes the Queen, she is still the Queen of the Chen family after all.
The emperor's grand ceremony for the empress meant that he was going to do something big to the Chen family? Or had he already taken action against the Chen family?
Even after this happened, the empress dowager did not dare to let the emperor go. Although she had nothing else, she was the emperor's biological mother after all. The word "filial piety" was always there for her.
If the matter gets out of hand, it will be embarrassing for the emperor, so in the end, the queen's position must be preserved.
Nanny Cuiyun came here with the Empress Dowager, and at this moment she didn't dare to look at the Emperor at all.
Although the Empress Dowager felt aggrieved under the pressure of the Empress Dowager in recent years, Cuiyun thought it was a good thing. After all, the Empress Dowager's health rarely relapsed, and although it did not relieve the pressure on the Emperor, there was no conflict between them either.
The Empress made such a big fuss about this matter, Cuiyun knew in her heart that the Emperor was determined to take action against the Chen family by doing this.
But even if the emperor wanted to take action, he would not execute the entire family. After all, the Empress Dowager is still there. The word "filial piety" is indeed involved, and it would be unpleasant to be too drastic. Cuiyun thought that the emperor would not wipe out the entire family.
She had advised this before, but the empress dowager didn't care about anything else when she heard the emperor making such a fuss. It would have been fine if the mother and son had said good things to each other in the past, but when have they ever said good things to each other in all these years?
Really using the word "filial piety" to pressure the emperor. That is to go against the emperor. Aren't the lessons from the past enough? What's the point of just using status to pressure?
Cuiyun sighed inwardly, thinking that she had asked the Queen Mother to be careful about what she said and did since the incident, but the Queen Mother still knew about it. It was said that she heard two young eunuchs talking about it. On this day, the palace was in such a mess, and there were still eunuchs who dared to discuss this matter? It must be that she was not favored by the Queen Mother in these years and did not serve her personally, otherwise she would have seen some clues.
Cuiyun felt that this was unusual, but she didn't have time to think about it because the Queen Mother had already said, "Emperor, you are searching the whole palace with such a big fuss, are you going to depose the Queen?"
Xuanyuan Ling thought it was strange that the Queen Mother would be in a good mood this day, so he didn't even want to be perfunctory: "Cuiyun, help the Queen Mother go back."
