Chapter 551: Hidden Chess Dissension
Lin Junxue looked at the ice fruit in Guyu's hand, her eyes lit up
"I'll have some iced fruit first."
Guyu and Danzhen looked at each other and smiled. The queen was greedy and just liked this cold food.
Guyu said, "My lady, this fruit is very cold, you should eat less of it."
Lin Junxue nodded
"I'll just eat a little bit."
Danzhen puts down the glutinous rice balls
"Your Highness always said you would only eat a little, but you always ate it all. You are so greedy. If you don't obey me this time, Guyu will not prepare this ice fruit for you anymore."
Lin Junxue sighed
"Whose queen is as frustrated as this one?"
Qiao Xin stepped forward
"My lady, this time I agree with Guyu and Danzhen. Although your health has improved a lot after practicing martial arts, you still need to pay more attention to it."
Under the gazes of the three people, Lin Junxue could only use some fruits and then some dumplings.
Dan Zhen said, "Your Majesty, you said that the Emperor will definitely not be suspicious of what happened today. Your Majesty has been hiding this chess piece for so long, and it finally came in handy."
Lin Junxue curled her lips
"Not necessarily. With the Emperor's suspicion, he will definitely let someone investigate today's incident. But, it doesn't matter. Let him investigate."
Danzhen nodded
"That's right. Pipa's musical skills are innocent. There is no falsehood in her family situation. An Ling's reputation can be easily known by a little investigation. Your Majesty, the Emperor will not easily let the An family off this time. An Qianning and An Ling, these two things combined are enough to make the Queen Mother and the An family suffer."
Lin Junxue picked up the book on the table and flipped through two pages casually.
"Go tell Wang Chu that the An family will definitely send someone to the palace to plead with the Queen Mother. Since the Queen Mother is in poor health, she cannot bear to hear such things. Tell him to find a way to stop them."
Guyu said, "Your Majesty wants to create a rift between the An family and the Queen Mother. The An family will definitely send people to the palace to plead for An Ling. But if the Queen Mother ignores them and doesn't even meet them, it means that she doesn't want to care about her own family anymore. The An family will definitely feel resentment and become alienated from the Queen Mother."
Lin Junxue nodded
"Smart, let the emperor see this with his own eyes. The Jingzhao prefect will never dare to protect An Ling. At this time, the empress dowager is watching coldly, and the An family will definitely be dissatisfied."
Danzhen serves tea
"When the queen investigated the An family before, she knew An Ling's character. He had killed many women, so she set up this trap. When the time comes, the people we arranged will present the evidence of An Ling's crimes. The emperor will be furious, and An Ling's life may not be saved. An Ling is the most favored one among the An family's side branches. Once he dies, the relationship between the queen mother and the mother's family will never be the same as before."
Lin Junxue's mouth is frivolous
Lack of human heart
The Queen Mother promoted her mother's clan to this day
But once the Queen Mother stops caring, the resentment in the hearts of the An family members who have lived a life of luxury and received all the benefits will only deepen.
Lin Junxue asked again, "Anshan, how is he doing in Jiangnan?"
Danzhen snorted coldly.
"Anshan appears to be hypocritical, but he is actually a pervert. He is very cautious, but he is still attracted by beauty. At the beginning, the people we sent out spent a lot of effort to get close to him. If it weren't for the Queen's early preparation, Anshan would have really found out something. Now, Wanhong has become Anshan's new favorite. Anshan has not returned yet, and Wanhong has used all her tricks to keep Anshan in Jiangnan for the time being."
Lin Junxue said, "You can't stay for a few days. The Queen Mother's letter and the news of An Qianning's sudden death will reach Jiangnan soon. Even if Anshan is lustful, he knows the seriousness of the matter. I think he should be in Kyoto within a month. By the way, I remember that from Jiangnan to Kyoto, you have to pass through Qingshan Town. There is no post station there, but thieves are rampant there."
Danzhen nodded
"Indeed, the thieves in Qingshan Town have been rampant since the time of the previous emperor. In the early years, the court sent many people there. Although the number of thieves has decreased a lot, they have always existed and it is really difficult to eradicate them completely. However, the thieves in Qingshan Town have also learned to be smart. Usually, they only rob merchants and do not touch officials for fear of causing trouble. If you want to make a fuss about this, my queen, I'm afraid it will be difficult."
Lin Junxue slowly raised the corner of her lips
"Difficult? He gave up his innocent identity and became a thief, all for money. Send someone to spread the word that Anshan is returning to the capital with priceless treasures, one of which is worth a thousand gold coins. Send someone to Qingshan Town to spread the news. Send a message to Wanhong and tell her that if the bandits take action, she should find an opportunity to take action. I will not allow Anshan to return to the capital."
Danzhen agreed
"My Lady, the person you asked me to find has already hidden himself. However, he suffered a lot of trauma and escaped death. He is not very clear-headed now. I am afraid that he will need some time."
Lin Junxue pinched the corner of her eyes
"It doesn't matter. There are still many things to see in the palace these days."
The niece that the Queen Mother had carefully nurtured for many years died within half a year of entering the palace.
If Wang Chu were there, the Queen Mother would definitely hold Concubine Mi responsible, and how could the old Duke Chen behind Concubine Mi ignore it?
Two tigers fighting
The fact that she can protect the baby in Concubine Mi's belly is her ability.
Taiwu Hall
Gao Chengdao said, "Your Majesty, today's incident has been investigated. This An Ling is from the side branch of the An family. His father is An Yuan, one of the twelve assistant ministers of the Ministry of Rites. This An Ling has been obsessed with the woman who plays the pipa in Tianxiang Tower these days. The woman has a hard time supporting her family. She has been in Tianxiang Tower for more than a year. There is nothing suspicious about her identity. I think today, this incident was just an accident, and there was no deliberate arrangement by anyone."
Today, Gao Cheng understood what Xie Yu meant with just one look.
He took the token and arrested An Ling and took him to Jingzhao Prefecture, and then he checked the family background of Le Ji.
Xie Yu's face became even darker. As expected, this was just a coincidence.
The An family really relied on his favor to bully others in Kyoto.
In this case, he should no longer be tolerant of the An family.
Gao Cheng took one look at Xie Yu's face and knew that he had made up his mind to kill him.
After so many years, the An family has finally exhausted the emperor's favor.
How to deal with An Ling will tell you the emperor's attitude towards the An family in the future.
I'm afraid that the An family's many years of favor will disappear after tonight.
Second day
Everyone in the court already knew what happened yesterday, and no one dared to stand up and plead for the An family.
Xie Yu named the Jingzhao prefect and asked him to investigate
As soon as this attitude came out, everyone looked at the officials of the An family on duty in the court with changed expressions.
After the morning
The An family sent people to Ci'an Palace to plead for mercy.
But the Queen Mother had a headache because of An Qianning, so she only let Wang Chu serve her every day.
Wang Chu increased the dosage of Xiangshi Powder, and the Queen Mother became even more drowsy every day.
The people who serve him now listen to Wang Chu's words
The An family entered the palace, but they were turned away before they even entered the Ci'an Palace.
Wang Chu dismissed the An family members on the grounds that the Queen Mother was unwell.
The An family had nowhere to turn for help, and thought the Queen Mother was unwilling to intercede.
But within a day, a rift arose.
