The imperial sedan chair of the Empress Dowager Huayang walked through the Xianyang Palace.
Soon.
A group of people came to Mrs. Zheng's palace.
Seeing Mrs. Zheng's palace, the Empress Dowager Huayang's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly thought of what happened at Yao Meiren's banquet last time.
The relationship between the Empress Dowager Huayang and Madam Zheng has always been very 'close', or to use a more accurate term, Madam Zheng has always been attached to the Empress Dowager Huayang for survival in the Xianyang Harem.
Because the reason why Mrs. Zheng was able to become Yingzheng's concubine was originally the decision made by the Queen Mother Huayang. At that time, Yingzheng had just ascended the throne and had no power or power in her hands, so she could only let the Queen Mother Huayang take the throne.
And this is also one of the reasons why Mrs. Zheng has only been Ying Zheng's "Madam" for so many years, not the "Queen".
because of this.
Although Mrs. Zheng has been Ying Zheng's concubine in name for so many years, she has basically been constrained by the Queen Mother Huayang in the harem.
This situation was not relieved to a certain extent until after Fusu was born, but it did not have any substantial impact, because the influence of the Empress Dowager Huayang did not come from her status as the "Great Empress Dowager", but from the "Chu Foreign relatives' right.
The Empress Dowager Huayang is the backer of the "Chu Foreign Relatives Line", and the "Chu Foreign Relatives Line" is the support of the Queen Mother Huayang. The two complement each other.
Therefore, as long as the power of the "Chu foreign relatives" does not collapse for a day, then Mrs. Zheng will always be suppressed by the Queen Mother Huayang, and she will never have a bright future.
So Mrs. Zheng really started to turn around, which came from the rise of Yingzheng.
The appearance of Mr. Mo made Yingzheng bring down Lu Buwei and Lao Ai in a short period of two or three years, and knocked down the "Chu foreign relatives lineage" to the ground with a blow.
The power of the "Chu foreign relatives lineage" has been greatly reduced, which has forced the confinement of the power of the Empress Dowager Huayang, because Mrs. Zheng can gradually regain a little voice in the harem.
In addition, not long ago, Fusu gained the trust of the King of Qin and gained the right to 'supervise the country'.
On the other hand, I am old and frail, and I will die soon.
All kinds of factors add up.
It seems that it is not incomprehensible that Mrs. Zheng would openly 'violate' her orders and challenge her status at Yao Meiren's banquet.
At first, the Empress Dowager Huayang really thought so.
But then after the banquet.
The Empress Dowager Huayang gradually felt that something was wrong with Mrs. Zheng's reaction at that time.
One, according to what the Empress Dowager Huayang has known about Madam Zheng, Madam Zheng is not a stupid woman, on the contrary, she is very smart and good at forbearance.
At Yao Meiren's banquet, Mrs. Zheng was obviously a little too 'naive'. In that case, doing that kind of behavior that blatantly 'defied' her would not only make her, a dying old woman, feel resentful, but also It will not bring any benefits to Mrs. Zheng herself.
This is not a move that a smart woman can make.
Second, Mrs. Zheng's reaction was a little too intense. In the final analysis, at Yao Meiren's banquet, the Empress Dowager Huayang just asked Fusu to be by her side and eat with her.
Even if Mrs. Zheng was unwilling, there was absolutely no need to react so excitedly.
At that time, Mrs. Zheng gave the Empress Dowager Huayang the feeling that it was more appropriate to say that she was 'fearing' something rather than resisting her.
A moment of silence.
The Empress Dowager Huayang slowly raised her right hand, telling the servants to turn around and walk towards Mrs. Zheng's palace, but just as the imperial sedan chair of the Empress Dowager Huayang arrived outside the palace of the Empress Dowager Huayang, she suddenly noticed something strange.
"Why are there so many guards here today?"
"Back to the Empress Dowager, there was a robber in Mrs. Zheng's palace a few days ago, and the murderer has not been arrested yet, so I have sent more people nearby in the past few days."
The person who answered was a guard stationed in front of Mrs. Zheng's palace.
"Thiefs? The majestic Xianyang Palace was actually met with thieves. What are you doing for food?" The Empress Dowager Huayang was obviously displeased.
"The empress dowager forgive me." The guard apologized very quickly, as if it had been rehearsed beforehand.
"Hmph! Our family has no right to dispose of you. When this case is solved, go and plead guilty to the king!"
The Empress Dowager Huayang snorted coldly, but did not pursue the matter any further.
In fact, the Empress Dowager Huayang didn't really take this matter to heart, and the reason why she asked for guilt was just to put on an attitude.
In fact, the Empress Dowager Huayang knew better than anyone else that it was impossible to solve a case like this.
Will there be no theft in the palace?
No.
In fact, it is quite the opposite.
In the real royal palace and harem, there are often countless cases of various sizes, but under normal circumstances, for the face of the emperor's family, most of these cases will be suppressed and then left alone.
Most of these 'cases' in the harem stemmed from open and covert struggles among concubines in the harem, who planted and framed them.
of course.
There are also some thieves who really committed crimes.
After all, this is a world of martial arts. I don't know how many of those thieves and heroes in the world are proud of committing major crimes in the palaces of various countries.
Although most of them died on the way of 'committing crimes', there will always be one or two successful people.
In either case, the chances of such a case eventually being solved are slim to none.
After asking a casual question, the Empress Dowager Huayang walked into Mrs. Zheng's palace through a pass.
The sudden visit of the Empress Dowager Huayang was undoubtedly something that surprised Mrs. Zheng, but at the same time, Mrs. Zheng also felt a little panic in her heart.
After all, in the past, if something happened, the Empress Dowager Huayang always summoned Mrs. Zheng to Huayang Palace to have an audience. However, it was the first time that Mrs. Zheng met Mrs. Zheng when she took the initiative to come to the door like today.
The Empress Dowager Huayang's opinion of Mrs. Zheng is accurate, that is, Mrs. Zheng is a smart person.
Smart people don't think too highly of themselves.
Therefore, Mrs. Zheng knew very well that the real reason for the Empress Dowager Huayang's visit this time was definitely not because Fusu had obtained the right to 'supervise the country' and her own status had risen with the tide.
"Did the empress dowager also notice it?"
Mrs. Zheng felt a little uneasy, she was not a timid person, but the impact of this incident was too great, to the point where even Mrs. Zheng felt a little scared.
Ever since Yao Meiren came back from the banquet, Mrs. Zheng found that she had been watched both openly and secretly.
Mrs. Zheng was quite disturbed by this kind of surveillance.
However, this anxiety does not stem from the monitoring itself, but the monitoring, which means that her previous guess has at least an [-]% probability of being true.
