When she returned to her palace, the empress dowager just ate a little bit and asked her to evacuate.

Bai Qian said quickly: "Empress, are you feeling uncomfortable? The old slave immediately came to the imperial doctor."

"No, I just can't eat it."

The Empress Dowager shook her head, "Bai Qian, do you know why I want to meet Qiu Xiang today?"

Bai Qian certainly understood Qiu Xiang's affairs.

That night Bai Shangzui was waiting outside the house. He heard her hysterical laughter and the queen's hysterical cry.

But he never said it to anyone.

Now that the Queen Mother asked, he said, "You are... for His Highness, King De?"

Coincidentally, yesterday Liu Mingqi came to deliver glasses to the empress dowager. When talking about those things, Bai Qian was not far away.

Although he didn't listen on purpose, Bai Qian could hear it clearly.

Bai Qian has been with the Empress Dowager for so many years, not even the three eunuchs in the palace, but none of them dares to underestimate him.

The emperor rewards his things every festival because he is the best at serving the empress dowager and knows the empress dowager best. He does things beautifully and is very willing to do them.

Therefore, now the Queen Mother asked, he did not pretend to be stupid.

"Um."

The Queen Mother asked him, "Do you know what I think?"

Bai Qian followed her for half her life and knew her thoughts very well: "I think, you can't go against the emperor's wishes for His Highness De, right? The emperor hates her to the core, thinking that once the evidence is conclusive, he will handle the matter of King Ren and send her down."

"Um."

The Queen Mother nodded and sighed: "I think, if I go over today and she hears me saying Mingqi likes her and then climbs up the pole, then... then I should give her three feet of white silk today."

Bai Qian was shocked.

But I have to admit that the Queen Mother did this with her reason.

Because the Queen Mother loves Liu Mingqi the most.

If Qiu Xiang still had extravagant hopes in his heart and wanted to escape death through Liu Mingqi, he might die faster.

The Queen Mother could not allow anyone to climb up with Liu Mingqi because of this matter, even if this woman is Liu Mingqi’s favorite.

Bai Qian said respectfully: "But if you didn't give her death, it proves that this woman is very smart."

The Queen Mother then said, "Yes, I don't know if she is really so pure or smart... I didn't want to leave any troubles behind, but I still felt soft-hearted..."

Bai Qian said, "You don't have to worry, the emperor has his own sense of justice. How easy is it to frame His Highness King De?"

"Is that true?" the queen mother said slowly.

Bai Qian: "!?"

He suddenly felt cold sweat coming out.

The Queen Mother suddenly laughed, "Okay, OK, I know this too. Don't think too much... Go and bring me a glass of milk. I'll have to rest after drinking it."

"yes!"

When Bai Qian turned around, all the clothes inside were soaked.

The Queen Mother under the light seemed a little lonely, and she was a little bit gloomy...

...

At the same time, Jing Hedi, who had been busy all day, received the news.

Waving his hand, Qianniuwei retreated, Jing Hedi subconsciously rubbed his head.

"Your Majesty, why don't you ask the palace maid to give you a massage?" Zhao Shou said with distress, "You haven't had a massage for several days."

"There are so many things, how can I have some leisure time?" Jing Hedi smiled bitterly, "By the way, Zhao Shou, what do you mean by the Queen Mother? Did she not wait?"

"No, the Empress Dowager will definitely wait until the truth comes to light." Zhao Shou shook his head and said.

"Well, I think so too..." said Jing Hedi, "She was afraid that I wouldn't be able to help but kill Qiu Xiang! How could I be so angry?"

When talking about the person who killed his son, Jing Hedi's face was a little cold.

"Those commanded by the Queen Mother..."

"Okay, don't worry, the empress dowager's idea is also right, this is nothing." The emperor shook his head, "but Gao Jing still has to urge him. It's really a bunch of waste! He couldn't find a few people, and there were no clues! I don't know what he was doing for!"

Zhao Shou explained: "The northwest is vast and sparsely populated, so it is not easy to find someone. Moreover, the world is so big that hundreds of millions of people always take time."

"I'm afraid they will delay on purpose, and then they can't find it to report to the office." Jing Hedi said gritting his teeth, "The Embroidered Guard has raised so many people and so many spies, how could there be no clue?"

Zhao Shou dared not say much if Emperor Jinghe said this.

He could only persuade him a few words. Gao Jing was indeed at fault for being ineffective and was not worthy of sympathy.

Immediately put aside his worries, the emperor said, "Go and prepare some food for me... By the way... Is Qinggu still here?"

Zhao Shou went out to ask, and came back and said, "Your Majesty, Zhong Xiang and the others have been in Wenyuan Pavilion, and even Cao Xiang has not returned home."

Jing Hedi smiled unconsciously: "This Cao Xiang is also hot and hot recently? It's time!"

What Miao Yan did in Jiangnan has spread all over the world, and Beijing certainly knows it.

This was the second time Cao Yi asked to beg for bones in public, but he was still rejected by the emperor.

The reason for use is the same as last time.

"At this time, the court is in a difficult and difficult period. Cao Xiang, you left me now. Is this still a little responsible?"

no way.

No matter how many times you detain such a big hat, no matter how many times you detain it, no one else can stand it, let alone a dignified prime minister.

So Cao Yi became the laughing stock of the world again, and even the Gentile envoys used it to make fun of him, but he could only work in the court.

This is actually just as Bai Hengwang thought.

Cao Yi thought that he had been low-key for decades and had slowly saved up so much property, which was not very conspicuous.

But everyone is not blind, so it is impossible to tolerate him bringing 400,000 mu of good land to return home.

He must have to let him spit out most of it, otherwise every senior official would be like this, how many years could Dakang last?

Isn’t there such reasons for the riots and uprisings in the previous dynasty?

When Miao Yan went to Jiangnan, half of the "instructor" who served as the "inspector" was for Cao Yi's affairs.

Who said Cao Yi has a big goal, and he didn't give Liu Renhuai face last time?

yes!

You said it was Cao Yi's news a little late, and it was a waste of time.

But if the Cao family did not have that intention, how could Cao Suping be so arrogant?

Not to mention Liu Renhuai, seeing the information sent back by the Embroidered Uniform Guard, Jing Hedi had such a good temper, couldn't help but slap the table a few times in a row.

Although he forgave Cao Yi at that time, after he decided to let Miao Yan be the governor of the canal transportation, he was the first to think of making the Cao family a stepping stone for Miao Yan to become famous in the south of the Yangtze River.

Then we can suppress the big landlords and grain merchants in Jiangnan so that they will not be so unscrupulous.

The best of both worlds.

...

When Zhong Chang came, he saw Emperor Jing He having dinner.

The content is not very rich. Although there are stewed chicken with ginseng soup, braised pork ribs, pickled cabbage and a small plate of apples, the overall portion is very small.

Together, it is almost half the amount of food for ordinary people.

Zhong Chang said with some distress: "Your Majesty, can you eat so little, your body can eat it?"

"good!"

Jing Hedi chewed slowly, "Mingqi said, I should eat less and more meals like this, try to eat less rice, exercise more, drink more milk and eat walnuts, and stick to this, and your health will be better."

Sighing, Jing Hedi shook his head and smiled, "Unknown, I am almost fifty years old, Qinggu, you are about to be fifty-one!"

Zhong Chang also showed a look of memories: "I remembered your first meeting with Your Majesty, as if it was still yesterday."

He was the top scholar in the year before Emperor Jinghe took office. He was two years older than Emperor Jinghe and was also the first minister to be reused by Emperor Jinghe.

The top scorer of Enke in Jinghe for one year is Liu Renhuai, the current governor of Jiangnan.

The status of these two people in the emperor's heart is different.

Emperor Jing He nodded and ate while saying, "How do you feel when you read the poster you sent today?"

"fine."

Zhong Chang smiled bitterly and said, "We are much more prepared this year than last year! And His Highness De happened to be the best, and he prepared the most sufficient supplies and the most convenient transportation conditions for us.

Even if this snow disaster is like at the beginning of this year, we don’t have to be so at a loss and watch the snow disaster do whatever it wants."

When Emperor Jing He smiled with relief when he heard this, he said: "Don't say that Mingqi, this child, is lucky! It can bring great blessings to my great health! Who knew that just two casual chess pieces could come in handy immediately?"
